    Excellent and Recommended Wedding DJ

    Shawn (DJ 5150) was outstanding as the DJ for our wedding. We were coming from Saskatchewan, so most of our inital interactions with Shawn were remote. He was excellent to work with and the alignment/communication was easy. He handled all aspects of the wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and dance flawlessly. We could not be more impressed with him, and many of our guests went out of their way to comment on what a great DJ we had. Shawn's prices were very fair, and we would strongly recommend him for any type of event. He showed up early, and left late! A great guy and a talented DJ. Thanks Shawn - Jen and Logan from Saskatoon.

    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.

    Hi Shannon I'm still trying to wrap my head around this review after 35 years this is my first four-star review I can only be as well as the couple prepares me you did pretty give us a song list of very eclectic music that wouldn't that that I tried to incorporate Into the Night the maitree Brad at your at the venue even told me goes they must have been a drinking crowd tonight because played good music and he actually asked me for my card if I could recommend my services to other couples I'm sorry I didn't get the $50 referral fee I have an administrator who would have sent you out that money at the end of the month which would have been October because your friends didn't sign with me till the week you were away on your your honeymoon so if you would like to forward me your email address I'll gladly give you that referral fee and thanks for the referral

    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.

    5150 Entertainment's reply:

    Thank you so much Carly and Ethan.
    It was such a pleasure to play for your on your big day, you and your family were amazing and kind to me throughout the whole night. Thank you so much for the awesome review.
    We at 5150 push nothing but the best for you both in the future, thank you so much

    Perfect DJ

    Shawn is so personable and was the perfect fit for our wedding. We received so many compliments on how good our DJ was.
    The dance floor was always full which is a sign of an amazing DJ

    5150 Entertainment's reply:

    Hi Carla

    Thanks for this amazing review. Your wedding was a lot of fun. I have been doing this a long time and this must was a first for me.
    I have never seen a bride and groom get introduced in to the hall with different NHL Jerseys, you crosschecking your husband of 2 hours, Then jerseying him before your first dance. Classic!!! Your family and friends were a delight to play for.. We at 5150 wish you the best and a lifetime of happiness together

    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 🎼🎺🎧🎸🥁🎤🎷….

    Hi Mia
    Thank you for this amazing review. This list of music you provided was an amazing one. Playing all the hits from the 50 60 70s brought me back to when i started DJing back in the early 80s. You were a pleasure to play for

    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!
