Kourtni R.
We had Shane from Absolute Music as the DJ for our wedding earlier this month and he was AWESOME! He was so professional, timely, is a great communicator and knows how to keep everyone on the dance floor! Not only did our family comment on how wonderful he was but multiple guests did as well! We had some communication issues with other vendors that evening and Shane was right there to help with everything as needed to keep the reception flowing smoothly! He did a great job at watching my timeline and even brought it to my attention when my late night snack didn’t arrive so that I could resolve the issue! He even offered to help me with a few things once the reception ended! He went above and beyond and we would highly recommend Absolute Music (AM) and Shane! Communication with AM throughout the whole planning process was also great as they were very timely with their responses and answered my many questions! Thank you!
Response from the owner:Thank you, Kourtni!

Shane was the DJ at my reception and did an AWESOME job. Everyone had so much fun and he was so receptive to all our song requests. He went along with all my ideas and was super organized. I could tell he was experienced and comfortable with big crowds. Highly recommend. Thanks so much Shane!
Response from the owner:Thank you, Gina!
Emma K.
We met Brad in December at a birthday party after we had already booked absolute music for our wedding based on good reviews. We immediately knew he was awesome and asked if he could be the DJ for the wedding. He made it happen and did not disappoint! Last night we had the best time. The communication, expertise, advice, and organization went a long way. Everything was absolutely perfect and we had a packed dance floor! Could never recommend absolute music and Brad enough. Thank for the best night!! ❤️Emma and Marshall McElhose
Response from the owner:Thanks, Emma!
Madison W.
Just wanted to say our DJ Shane did AMAZING!! Way better than I ever expected any DJ to be! He was so on top of every single thing, verified info with myself and my husband, and just went above and beyond. He kept people dancing all night and was simply so organized and great! So many people came up and gave us compliments saying “he plays great music and is way more organized and on top of everything than our dj at our wedding was!” from multiple couples. Can’t say enough great things about him. Thank all of you guys 1000x for making our big day go so smoothly and fun!!! 🙂
Response from the owner:Thank you, Madison!

Lynn K.
Brad and Mary DJ'd for our daughter's Wedding and they were awesome. They were very professional and helpful with those finishing touches and the Wedding Party loved them. Brad made the effort to go out and talk to the Wedding party and line everyone up so they could enter in an orderly fashion.They kept the dance floor full all night. Would highly recommend asking for Mary and Brad. Some of the other DJ's Are not as accomodating. We had numerous gusts inquiring who they were.
Response from the owner:Thanks, Lynn.

Laney H.
Absolute Music did an amazing job at our wedding! Brad showed up on time, checked in with us throughout the night, and played the best music! Our wedding day FLEW by and Brad kept tabs throughout the night- keeping us on schedule and taking care of many of the small things i didn’t think about. When we first arrived to our reception he got us drinks and brought them to the head table, which was very sweet! He was so great, made the night run smoothly, and i highly recommend using Absolute Music to anyone!
Response from the owner:Thank you, Laney!

Kaylee M.
Shane was our DJ for our wedding and we were blown away by his talent and personality. He met with us before setting up and confirmed little details with us beforehand. He checked in with us periodically throughout the night and answered all of our questions and gave us advice when we needed it. My favorite part of the evening was when he came out and taught us the Wobble. That man can move! We had an amazing time and Shane was an absolute delight to work with.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Kaylee!
Aleya W.
Best dj ever
Response from the owner:Thank you, Alexa!
Adam J.
Shane was an excellent DJ. He was great at crowd engagement and did activities to get the guest dancing. Photobooth was user friendly and they provided many costume items to make our wedding the best night possible and people could get a memory from the night. I couldn't be more happy with the service and suggest anyone looking for a wedding DJ to book through this company. Thanks for the spectacular night and for making our wedding all the more special 5 Stars.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Adam!
