Impact Entertainment

FANTASTIC DJ services! I would absolutely recommend the service to friends. Leading into the event, the process was easy and I was able to choose types of music, songs I wanted, songs I did NOT want, and schedule. The DJ worked with the wedding planner to put the schedule together, functioned as MC, and made the process very easy. I even sent a song as mp3 to the DJ for use as my first dance. It was flawless. On the day of the event, the DJ even went above and beyond to help get my iPad to show a video with audio as one of my friends gave us a video speech.

The evening of our reception, the songs were great, the DJ did a fantastic job mixing, but most importantly, he listened to me and all of my guests - any request we had were played and we LOVED what he added.

My husband and I are very happy to recommend Paul from Impact Entertainment.

With planning our wedding from another province, Paul was very accommodating and willing to schedule phone meetings at a time that was convenient for us, right from our initial meeting, and responded to emails very promptly. Paul is very knowledgable, helpful, professional and a pleasure to work with. In addition, the online tools that Impact Entertainment offer their clients were also wonderful to use and helped make the planning process much easier.

Our reception was held at The Old Mill Inn and Spa and Paul made our entire evening so enjoyable and fun. Everyone said that our DJ was spectacular and he had our guests dancing the entire evening! The playlist that he created for us included all of our must-play songs and fit our musical tastes perfectly, and our guests loved that they could make requests. He was also very helpful with hooking up AV equipment for slideshow presentations, and did a great job sharing MC duties with my brother.

We would highly recommend Impact Entertainment!

I only have rave reviews for the services provided by Impact Entertainment! The on-line wedding planner was very helpful for guiding our music decisions. Randy, our DJ (recommended by my husband's cousin), was very accessible by e-mail beforehand, incorporated our music preferences throughout the reception, and kept the dance floor hopping from the very first song to the last!

We used Paul Hutchinson for our big day. Simpy, put he was fantastic! We found him to be very professional in the weeks leading up to our wedding, always quick to respond to any inquiries, and more than willing to sit down with us to help with our music planning. He worked with us in selecting the type of music and overall tone we wanted for the evening and in the end it was exactly what we were looking for. Aside from us being very pleased with everything, we had countless guests and even some vendors come up to us after the wedding asking about our DJ and saying how much they enjoyed the music. Well done and would definitely recommend to anyone planning a wedding or event

Paul did an amazing job at our wedding and we would highly recommend him to anyone. The information that he gathered prior to our wedding on the age ranges of the people who were attending the wedding, really paid off. He had both young and old on the dance floor the entire night. We had many people come up and tell us they had such a great time at the reception in large part because the DJ did such an amazing job and kept them dancing the entire night. We would highly recommend this company and Paul to anyone.

Paul from Impact Entertainment helped us from day one, and from that day I knew he would be perfect for our wedding. He was really helpful and flexible in meeting times. Very reliable and the dance floor was full all night! Paul was also our MC and did a great job, not at all one of those cheesy DJs. Thanks so much for making our night unbelievable!

Paul H. deejayed our wedding reception at Angus Glen on November 12, 2011 and it was spectacular.

I also asked him for help with cutting a song-mix for my cousins to perform a dance to, and he was extremely patient with our nit-picky requests, but what I liked most was how approachable he is!

He catered to the reception-crowd so there was a good balance of young and old on the dance floor. Professional, timely response via e-mail (I was the tardy one) and a pleasure to work with. Extremely talented!

And I'll be happy to have him again at any other event we host in the future.

Thank you Paul and Impact Entertainment!
You made our day unforgettable :)

My wife and I are pleased to highly recommend Paul of Impact Entertainment. Paul deejayed our wedding on October 30, 2011 to rave reviews. As a couple, we are fairly particular when it comes to our musical tastes and we had a specific idea in mind when it came to selecting a DJ for our wedding. We were looking for a professional we could rely on who was capable of seamlessly mixing songs and catering to our tastes while keeping the dance floor packed. Paul delivered. We were also very pleased with Paul's professionalism, responsiveness and flexibility. We received numerous complements from our guests on the DJ. We wholeheartedly recommend Paul and Impact Entertainment.

I would Highly recommend Impact Entertainment for DJ services. We had a fantastic time at our wedding at the Old Mill in Toronto. The music was exactly inline with what we were looking for. Paul was very responsive in all communications leading up to the wedding. He was able to accommodate several special requests outside the norm and was extremely professional in all regards.

Paul was an awesome DJ!!We had such a wonderful time and wanted to thank you for making our wedding spectacular, every last detail was perfect!! We received so many comments from friends and family about what a good time everyone had.. , you kept the dance floor going all night!!!

Paul Hutchison with Impact Entertainment was a fabulous DJ at our wedding. He was very helpful throughout the whole planning stage and always got back to me quickly. I found Impact Entertainment’s pricing reasonable and they were willing to work with my budget.

Paul was professional and fun, and kept the party going all night long. He was great with timing of the reception, announcements and played the songs my guests and I requested. I had friends/family coming up to me at 1am saying how great the DJ was and how they didn’t want the evening to end.

Randy is the absolute BEST in wedding DJ's! He listened to what we wanted, showed up enthusiastic and ready to please for every meeting, and kept our dance floor rocking until closing time. I would highly recommend Randy for your wedding. He is the best of the best!!

Wonderful to work with!! Music was great. Our guests loved it!!

Impact Entertainment was extremely helpful in all of the planning for the wedding.
The music suggestions they gave us worked out great! (Everyone loved the Vitamin String Quartet!!)

We were absolutely THRILLED with Chris and so were all of our guests with the music he played.
He did an amazing job and well over exceeded our expectations!

We would highly recommend Impact Entertainment to anyone and everyone!

Our dj Randy was amazing! The dance floor was packed all night. He was very professional and offered great advice before the wedding regarding the flow of the evening and when speeches should be done and in what order. Would definitely recommend him to any friend.

I couldn't have been happier with the services that we received from Impact Entertainment. Their service was professional, and without glitches, from beginning to end. Pre-wedding, the planning was made extremely easy by the company's online tool which allows you to view their entire music catalogue, and provide all of the details of your wedding (music selection, timing, etc.). This saved us a lot of time and made the planning process easy.

As for the DJ services on the day of the wedding, our DJ, Chris, was amazing!!! He was on time (early, actually!), professional, played all of our requests and stuck to the type of music we had requested. He also took, and played, requests from our guests. Our dance floor was packed from beginning to end - some of our guests even told us that he was the best DJ they had heard at a wedding (and I would tend to agree!). Great all around!!

Impact Entertainment provided an amazing service as being both our MC and DJ for our wedding. The music selection was fantastic! All our guests and even including the venue employees were very impressed with the professionalism and choice of music and lighting. Impact Entertainment at all times made the process of getting to know what style of music we enjoyed very easy. I highly recommend Impact Entertainment!

I typically don't write reviews for anything online but felt compelled to write a review for the wonderful experience we had with Impact Entertainment for our wedding reception at the Liberty Grand.

Paul Hutchinson from Impact took a lot of effort throughout the process to ensure that I was comfortable with the overall process. Being very picky for what I wanted to hear, Paul made sure that Impact would accommodate and they did!
I had hand picked over 10 hours of music on my own and Paul always showed the patience to review my constantly growing list and ensured me that everything would go smoothly on the big night.

Jeff French, our DJ, did a amazing job of understanding the mood we were trying to set for our very special day and delivered! We were extremely delighted to hear all of the positive feedback regarding the music throughout the night and the weeks that followed.

I would definitely recommend the team at Impact for any wedding or function that requires music and setting a great mood for an event. Whether you are picky like me or require a DJ to make the selections for you, I would highly suggest you get in touch with the team @ Impact Entertainment!!

Our wedding was quite small, so initially we were not sure if we want to have a DJ. But having one is absolutely the right decision. We had a meeting with this one company that we bump into at an event. The experience was a total disaster! So we turned to our planner Melissa Andre for suggestions. She recommended Paul from Impact Entertainment. After the first meeting, we knew Paul is the one. He is cool, nice and super friendly. At the wedding, he did an amazing job. My friend (who just got engaged) was so impressed with his DJ skill and asked for his card. I would definitely give Paul a FIVE STAR! Thanks Paul for an awesome night:-)

Highly recommended! Did everything that we asked for and more.

Randy did an excellent job at sticking to playlist we provided and blending all the songs together. Despite the freezing weather (and it was outside) the party raged on and we all had a great time. I didn't want an obtrusive DJ or any fancy games, and the evening went exactly as I had hoped. Very nice to work with.

From the first time we met him, Paul at Impact entertainment was terrific. He was honest, professinional, laid back and willing to do whatever he could to ensure our day was special.

At the wedding, Paul read the crowd and ensured that we had people on the dance floor. He wasn't one of those obnoxious DJs who want to hear their own voice. Instead, he said what needed to be said and played the music that he knew people wanted to hear.

My wife and I are in our early 30s. We have already recommended him to other friends of ours and wouldn't hesitate to book him for an other function.

A big thank you to Impact Entertainment for helping make our night so special.

Paul Hutchison, our DJ from Impact Entertainment, was AWESOME. He responded to email in a timely way, he listened to what we wanted and kept the party going all night - literally after he played his last song, people were chanting "one more song, one more song!". He read the crowd well and made we were happy by playing our favourite songs. The website "request list builder" was extremely helpful in planning. I would definitely recommend Paul/Impact.

Randy at Impact Entertainment was the DJ and Karaoke Host at our wedding. The music, dancing, and karaoke was a total hit, and the wedding was a total success! We really appreciated Randy's enthusiasm throughout our wedding planning process, and he was very organized and prepared for everything. Randy was knowledgeable about the venue (Casa Loma) and made sure the setup of what we wanted made sense and would work at the venue. Randy has a great personality and he picked great music that the entire crowd wanted to dance to or sing, which ensured that everyone had a great time! We highly recommend Impact Entertainment, and we had very high expectations. Look no further for a DJ!!! Thanks Randy! Mel and Jim

Paul from Impact Entertainment was wonderful! He absolutely met every wish we had kept the dance floor bumping all night long. We wanted a very low key DJ and Impact Entertainment allows you to decide what level of involvement you would like from your DJ. We were so impressed and the day went off without a hitch!! Additionally, we had some different music requests - a star wars awards theme music for our ceremony exit - and he had no issue providing it all!! We would use Impact Entertainment again and would recommend them without a doubt to anyone looking for a reliable, professional, fun DJ!!

absolutely a joy to work with - they made the wedding less stressful! The DJ really understood what the guests wanted and made sure that the night was a night to remember.

We had Paul as our DJ and he was extremely professional from start to finish. Their online music chooser is very helpful. The party was rocking! Thank you so much for your help.

Paul, our DJ, was super! Organized, easy-going, and quick to adapt to the flow of the evening. Exceed expectations. Highly recommend!

When we met Randy, we automatically knew we wanted him as the DJ for our wedding. We definitely made the right choice. Randy was quick with all his communication with us. The online planning tool was very helpful and he was very accommodating with any last minute changes. He came to the rescue at our wedding by stepping in as our MC when we needed him to. The music he played was amazing. He definitely knew how to read the crowd and the dance floor was kept full until the end of the night. The uplighting he provided was great! It really made the room look better.

Randy went above and beyond and we are extremely grateful that he was our DJ.

Impact Entertainment was absolutely fantastic! I have to be honest....we were a bit nervous booking many different vendors at once for our wedding. You have to trust them all to come together and make your one day magical...and sometimes it's hard to let that control go and put your faith in others, especially for such an important day. Everyone says that Good food and Good Music are most important to hosting a good party/wedding. From the first moment we met Randy at Impact Entertainment, we were very comfortable and knew it would be great! On the day....Randy was fantastic! He had a lighting set up and he also had a projector that was better then I imagined! My husband and I were very happy with the results! Impact Entertainment was amazing and I would recommend them to everyone!

To everyone at Impact, thank you so much for making our day special! It wouldn't have been the same without you!

C & A

Absolutely AMAZING!!! Both Randy and Paul were wonderful to work with. They helped us plan this wedding from start to finish and were super quick to respond to any questions we had or to provide technical solutions! We used their online planner and met before the wedding to go over everything!

The wedding went flawlessly!! They completed all of the set-up, lighting, up-lighting and slideshows! They had EVERYONE out on the dance floor the entire night! We had so many comments on how awesome the party was and how fantastic our DJs were!

We would HIGHLY recommend them to everyone!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH for making our day amazing!!!!

Randy was a great DJ! Right from our first meeting we knew that he would be a great match for us - he has an outgoing, upbeat personality but not over-the-top cheesy like some of our other DJ experiences. Impact Entertainment has a great online music database that we could work through and create a must play and do not play list. We were also able to select a genre of music to create the right mood at different points throughout the reception. So many people came from out-of-town that we really wanted people to have a good time - and up to now they tell us how much fun they had. I honestly cannot remember a point during the night where he played two songs in a row that people did not dance to...to go one step further I can't even remember one song where the dance floor didn't have a lot of people. He really knew how to read the crowd and their music preferences. We really wanted people to dance between meals and it worked out so well with the songs he played - it was hard to get people to sit down for the meals! And the salt and pepper centerpiece game was fun - not awkward and cheesy! Our wedding reception really was the party we had hoped for with great music thanks to Randy and Impact Entertainment.

My husband and I hired Raandy Woolman for our wedding and we couldn't have had a better experience.

We absolutely loved working with Randy. We were pretty particular about our music and he did an amazing job. We got married outside in a garden and his setup was perfect. There were particular clips of songs that we wanted played during our ceremony and we gave him the timing and he downloaded the songs and clipped them to our exact needs. It was simply perfect and I never had to worry.

For the reception he was awesome. Our dance floor was packed to the bitter end (including my husband and I). Randy seemed to have as much fun as we were having playing the music for us and bopping away behind the DJ stand.

He also ran our centrepiece game which was a huge hit too. I recommend you do the Salt and Pepper Game with him. Hilarious and everyone willingly participated.

I highly recommend Randy and Impact Entertainment. They are worth it. Trust me you will be very happy with their services and more than that, Randy is a really nice guy.

We had our wedding on a Saturday in July at a posh downtown restaurant. We had a fabulous time and wanted to make sure that everyone knew that our DJ, Jeff, played a big part of that. We had been VERY nervous that nobody would dance as we had varying tastes in music and that everybody would leave early especially since there were only 65 people. He tried to put my mind at ease at the 2 pre-wedding meetings that he happily attended with us, but I (the bride) was still nervous....As it turned out there was no need! Jeff helped to warm the crowd up as he assisted in some MC duties and then was a key factor in getting everyone to tear up the dance floor. Great song choices, and great energy. The wedding went all the way t'il 1am as planned and there were lots of comments about how great the music was and how terrific the DJ integrated everything. We also found the website and music planner tool that Impact Entertainment had on their website to be very easy to use and Jeff followed all of our instructions very well.

WE LOVE YOU JEFF!!!
Thanks for being part of our special day.

We couldn't be happier with the great night impact entertainment has provided us.
They were amazing from beginning to end and even made it feel as though we were friends rather than just another couple they were DJing for. They were always quick to respond to emails no matter how many questions this nervous and uptight bride had, and we're always very professional with their responses.
In terms of their actual DJ skills they were still GREAT. My husband an his friends are huge fans of old school hip hop and r&b where as my friends and I love top 40 and newer stuff. they were able to read the crowd perfectly keeping the dancefloor hype all night!
They were fantastic MCs and kept things fun and rolling according to schedule without rambling on and on. (we hate MCs who talk to hear their own voice and try to hard to be funny)

Impact entertainment is a MUST for your wedding.... Or any party for that matter!
I highly recommend them to anyone looking for this type of service.

Great to work with! Very professional and friendly. Everyone Had a great time!!!! Also rented a projector and screen for the slide show and Paul set it all up and it ran smoothly. I highly recommend this company. Their online form to fill out before the day is simple and makes sure that everyone is happy with the music. Amazing job!

Impact was very helpful with our wedding preparation and the DJ assigned to us was very professional regardless of how bumpy the night went.

Our only advice is,
*** make sure the DJ has the schedule for the night. ***
we made too many schedules which may have confused him for the evening. Overall amazing service & music selection! (thumbs up)

Fantastic DJ. Very attentive and did everything exactly as requested. We had a Emcee so I can't comment on their ability to work the crowd, but the musical selections and mixing was great. Well worth it.

I met Randy at a Wedding show and he was just bang on for what we were looking for. His personality and honesty was something we appreciated. Their website for song selections is very extensive and simple to use. We were able to login any time and add or make changes as necessary. Anything they were unclear about they clarified before the wedding date. I never worried that the songs we wanted played would be mixed up. The DJ was there and set up on time, had all the songs we wanted, and played the part exactly as we wanted. Fantastic people! Though a little pricey, you never have to worry if they will show up or do a great job. As they say, you get what you pay for and we are so happy we hired professionals with a great reputation!

Great, friendly and professional service.

Mark Watson was our DJ, and I was very happy with him, though I didn't like that we didn't know who our DJ was going to be until a little over a week before the wedding. Impact will not promise you a particular DJ, which bothered me because I wasn't sure what we were going to get. Thankfully Mark was very good.

Our wedding music was pretty structured, but he played everything he was supposed to when he was supposed to, and was overall exactly the kind of fun, engaging DJ we were looking for. He made our garter toss absolutely unforgettable when (with DH's permission) he had a bit of fun with him on the dance floor! Our guests were all dying laughing and everyone really enjoyed it.

My husband and I were referred to Impact Entertainment by another DJ - who we wanted to book, but was already booked on our day. He gave Impact such a great review that we immediately called to book an appointment. When we met with Paul - we knew on the spot that we had to book him. He understood the type of vibe we wanted for our wedding and we got along with him really well. We booked about a year in advance and thought everything would be secure for our wedding day. About a month and a hald later, we get an EMAIL from Paul informing us that he double booked himself and was not able to work our wedding but said that another one of their DJs could. We immediately thought the scenario was fishy. When the other DJ referred us, he gave Paul the exact date of our wedding. So, we felt that we had been scammed - told he would work our wedding to get our business, and then all of the sudden he is double booked. The fact that we were emailed did not sit well with me either ... does this type of error not warrant a phone call? I know email is easier and quicker, but as the client, the "apology" we got would of seemed more sincere if received over the phone, rather then an email. We agreed to meet with Jeff and we ended up happy that we did. He was closer in age to us and made us feel that he knew exactly what we were looking for. We found the wedding planning tools on Impact's website to be really helpful in organzing the day .. from intros, to speeches and playlist. The day of started a little shaking as when introducing us Jeff said "Ken" but caught himself and restart my husband's and my intro (my name is Karen). Other then that, the day of went smoothly. Jeff was really good at organizing the speeches, centerpiece game, cake cutting, bouquet and garter toss (he acted as our MC). He was great with taking request and kept the party going right until the end of the night!! We also booked LED lights for our reception and VERY pleased with what they added to the room. Overall, we were extremely happy with Jeff, his set up and performance...but the events leading up to the day left a bad taste.

Randy, Paul and the whole IMPACT team go above-and-beyond for both Planner (like me) and their clients. Never a word of protest or complaint they are quick to offer guidance, advice and assistance to make every event a success! From the very first contact through to post-event recaps they are attentive, friendly and true professionals. I know that every wedding or event we do together will be a cherished memory for my clients with guests dancing into the wee hours of the morning!
