It was ok, not what it was hyped up to be

Well, a few issues came up. Our wedding party entrance song was right, but wasn't changed to our wedding couple entrance song so we ended up walking in to I'm too sexy instead of a romantic entrance song.
Our choreographed first dance song wasn't started on time and jumped ahead - twice - so I actually had to stop and walk over and help him with playing it, which then worked out well. He didn't want us to give him a play list because he wanted to feel out the crowd (despite us submitting songs at his request in advance) and we ended up having no one dancing most of the night so he then asked our wedding party to create playlists for him. He said he would give us $50 that night / put it in the card box for having made a referral for him that booked with him but he didn't follow through.

Wouldn't book with him again. Really nice guy, I'm easy going so I'm not upset or anything, but I wouldn't book with him again.

We can’t recommend enough!

If you were looking for a wedding, DJ that will keep the party happening, look no further than hiring Shawn from 5150 Entertainment. It was so important to us to hire a DJ that would play music that would bring the whole wedding to life, keep the guests singing and dancing, and Shawn did exactly that. Our dance floor was packed until the very end of the night, and everyone was dancing from young to elderly. He was also incredibly responsive during the planning process and met with us a handful of times. We can’t recommend him enough.

Best DJ ever!!!!!!

I had the privilege of meeting with Shawn to discuss & do my daughters wedding. He was absolutely flexible with times. Understanding of all music genres and able to adapt to our needs. Shawn was amazing at the wedding, following the crowds energy to change up music and ensure the dance floor was full at all times with people dancing !!!! His selection of music was perfect allowing for a perfect nite !!! Thx Shawn. Highly recommended and will call him for all other family events. Cheers 🎼🎺🎧🎸🥁🎤🎷….

Dj shawn rocks!

We interviewed a few different DJs for our wedding, and were looking for someone who would also act as MC for the reception. Nobody impressed us more than Shawn. He was charasmatic, funny, easy going yet very professional right off the hop, and that says alot when it's just a phone interview. We felt comfortable with Shawn right away to be tasked with such an important part of our day, especially being MC. Communication with Shawn was easy, email/phone/text. He was so helpful during the reception to keep us on track and keep things going. Eveyone seemed to really enjoy the music Shawn played too, all different ages alike. Thanks Shawn, it was a pleasure and we highly recommend Shawn's services to anyone!

Great DJ for your party!

Shawn is a very professional DJ who is very easy to work with. He loves his job and takes it very seriously. He makes sure that he asks all the questions needed to be answered for the party to be as great as possible. We also asked him to bring in another person to run a karaoke room in another room. Dean is great as well. They both did an amazing job for our big day!

It's too bad that you can only give 5 stars!! Shawn and Mike were the best DJ's some of my guests had ever heard! Very easy to work with, they listen to everything you have to say, and it was just overall amazing!!

Best he is at what he does

Shawn is absolutely the best there is. He kept tge dance floor packed all through the night! He was able to keep up easily with our guests requests, and kept us all entertained for the whole evening of our wedding. Infact we also used 5150s services for a Christmas party as well. Like the title says, "he's the best at what he does!!!"
