Reviews for Party Up Entertainment
GUEST
A fantastic DJ! Played many of our requested songs (only due to time we didn't get to them all), was VERY experienced in weddings, and made the dancing super fun. It was a quite the party! Vincent was a top professional and truly knew his stuff. Everything from the ceremony music to our entrance, from our first dance to our last dance, was nothing but a good time.
GUEST
We were so happy to have Vince and Randy as our DJ. They had a great mix of music and managed to incorporate most of the songs on our must play list. They really worked with the crowd and I loved how they got everyone involved in the garter toss, and last dance. My husband and I had a blast.
GUEST
Vince was awesome! He was very responsive to my requests, and played what seemed like absolutely perfect music at my wedding. In fact, the best man told my husband he's never seen a bride have so much fun at her own wedding, and I know a big part of that is because I did a ton of dancing. :) A+.
Vince from Party Up Entertainment was fantastic! Everyone commented at how great the music was at our wedding -- it was fun dancing music. Vince was very receptive and accommodating to our play and do-not-play lists.
