Brad and Mary took care of us on our wedding day. Right away they made sure we had everything we needed and handled all of our last minute changes very well. They made sure everything stayed on schedule for food to speeches to dances. The music choice was very good. Kept people on the dance floor all night. Words can't explain how happy we were with their services for the DJ and the photo booth. Thank you for helping making our special day that much better!
Justin F.
Shane was the DJ for our reception & he was amazing! It was a smaller/casual reception and he read the crowd to know when to play certain genres of music. Everyone complimented how nice, professional and fun he was. Definitely recommend Absolute Music for your next event!
Amanda M.
Jared and his team were absolutely amazing to work with. they did a fantastic job day of the wedding. They kept the dance floor very busy during the night. we had lots of compliments about the music and photo booth. Give them a call for all your DJ and photo booth needs. Thank you, absolute music for all your hard work

We’ve used these dj’s the last two years for a fundraiser. RockNRoll bingo has been a huge success and everyone who comes says they’ve had a blast. Looking forward to working together again the future!

Sherry M.
Absolute Music DJ’d our daughter and son-in-law’s wedding this past weekend and did a tremendous job! They were very organized before the event, followed all of the couple’s requests, and kept the party-goers engaged. We couldn’t have asked for better service. Thank you!!!!
Jennifer H.
Brad was fantastic and is the first and only DJ you should consider for your wedding or any other festivities. I officiated the wedding and he did a fantastic job settling me in and ensuring that we had everything in place prior to the ceremony. I couldn’t have done it without Brad. Thank you!
Cade C.
Brad and Mary from Absolute Music were AMAZING. They made the whole day run so smooth. They could answer all our questions and gave the best suggestions. They brought life to our dance floor, and were just overall amazing. I would highly recommend them to anyone for anything music/photo booth related. So glad we got them on our special day 🤍
Amber L.
Shane was a great dj for our wedding. He kept the dance floor going and was very helpful throughout the whole day going above and beyond and helping out with things not music related to make sure everything kept running smoothly. Jaydn did great at the photobooth. He was very willing to make as many copies as needed for everyone and the props supply was endless. So glad we hired them for our special day. Definitely would hire absolute again!
Natalie T.
Absolute Music is the best! Highly recommend!! We had Shane DJ our wedding and he was amazing. We had the best day & will recommend Absolute Music services to everyone!! The business went above and BEYOND to make sure we were having the best time!
Kenzi H.
I can’t say enough GOOD things about Absolute Music & Shane! We got married at OffShore in Bellevue & he made sure ALL my wishes were met. He went above & beyond to make us happy & have the most fun. Almost all of the guests that aren’t married yet said they would LOVE to have him without a doubt! The crowd loved him & so did we. We struggled to get people on the dance floor due to the balcony but he made it happen & we had the best time. He was the talk of the night & we had multiple of our friends say they hope their wedding is as fun as ours. Shane made our entire night/day so special. I couldn’t have asked for more! He blew my expectations out of the water. Thank YOU, Shane!!!!!
Zoey Van K.
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!

The photo booth from Absolute Music was PERFECT for our prom event! The customizable strips matched our theme perfectly and the kids had so much fun posing with all the props.
Monica B.
We had a great experience with Brad as our DJ for our wedding. He was great at communicating and checked in with us throughout the night. He accomodated all of our requests. We got a lot of compliments on the music choices and he kept people out on the dance floor the whole night. I couldn't recommend him enough!
Jess M
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!

Absolute Music was at our elementary school spring festival on Friday night and did an amazing job! The photo booth was a huge hit and the music was age appropriate and fun. Shane went above and beyond to help us with setup. He also had good ideas to get the kids involved, excited, and dancing. Highly recommended and thank you!!!

Absolute Music did an outstanding job for our fundraising efforts again this year! They are very easy to work with and prompt on returning your messages! Brad and Mary were very helpful! We will defiantly be having them back for a third time!

We had a perfect experience using Absolute music for our wedding. Brad and Mary, were amazing! We had to worry about absolutely nothing, and the music selection was great! Anything we needed they were 2 steps ahead of. Would absolutely recommend!

This weekend I was in a wedding where the DJ that was contracted last year backed out on their promise last minute because they double booked themselves. As busy as Brad and Mary are they were able to make things happen for the Bride and Groom. Not only did they show up but they were professional and knocked it out of the park. I said multiple times to people.. I want this playlist! I don't think we heard one bad song.Keep up the great work Brad and Mary. I look forward to using your services soon!
Tyler B.
Absolute Music came to our elementary school Spring Fling and did a fantastic job! The kids were engaged and really enjoyed the photo booth! We'll definitely continue using them!

They do a great job, and make for a fun event.
Gavin O.
Absolute Music is amazing! I would give them more stars if I could. They played at my dads celebration of life. Played everything we wanted. They were professional, showed up on time, responded to emails/text before the party quickly. Can’t say enough good things about them.
J C
Working with Jered beforehand and Shane the day-of our wedding was so easy! Jered was very responsive to all our inquiries and really helped us through the planning process. On the day of our wedding Shane was super enthusiastic and ready to make sure the night went according to our vision! We couldn’t have asked for a better company to play music for our wedding! We especially loved all the music that Shane played during dinner and the cocktail hour - something we hadn’t even thought about! You won’t be disappointed in hiring them for your event!
Rachael M.
We used Absolute Music as our wedding DJ. Shane was our DJ and he made the night run smoothly. He went above and beyond being an excellent DJ. Shane did not ask me a million questions, but instead would get my input then get things done. He was extremely helpful. Additionally, everyone was dancing all night. The music was awesome. Couldnt ask for a better service and they charge an incredibly reasonable rate!

Wedding review!DJ Shane was absolutely amazing. He took the time to get to know exactly what we wanted and went above and beyond our expectations to make the experience phenomenal. He knew exactly how to keep our wedding reception fun and used his expertise to keep the energy high all night. Shane was very attentive to each part of the reception to make sure everything went smoothly. We can’t thank him enough and would highly recommend him and absolute music as a DJ service.

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!!! 🙂

Our DJ Shane did and AMAZING job. He was more present and took care of us better then the venue coordinator. Hands down I would recommend this company for any event. Very attentive.
Cecily S.
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.
Lynn K.
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.
Adam J.
Shout-out to Absolute Music for a great trivia night last Saturday! Looking forward to next year!
Tara E.
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.
Kaylee M.
Brad and Mary killed it at this wedding!!

Absolute Music was one of the highlights of our wedding. We used their photobooth! Everyone loved it! They even brought fun props, and the picture were printed immediately. They also gave me tons of templates to pick from! The attendants were very very sweet and accommodating. I wish I could give them 6 stars! Thank you Absolute Music for making our wedding a little more memorable 🖤

Sesalie T.
Brad and Mary did an AMAZING job DJing our wedding. They always made sure to find us and ask if we needed anything, if we had any requests, and most importantly, asked us what we wanted to do next and when. They even went over our wedding intro and names when we got to the reception. They were very helpful and easy to get a hold of. 10/10 recommend Absolute Music!!
Tonya T.
