Wade did such an amazing job Dj'ing at our wedding! We couldn't be any happier with the service he provided. Wade was very easy going to work with and our wedding wouldn't have gone as smoothly without him. He has great ideas and set up a large projector that displayed a slideshow that ran during the reception. Wade was punctual, organized, great to work with, and played perfect songs to set the mood. He also has a great website that was user friendly and helped organize what we wanted exactly for our wedding. We would 100% recommend Wade for any occasion!

Wade was awesome from the moment we met him. My wife and I first met Wade at a restaurant and we had apps together and chatted for over an hour. Wade had everything set up through an easy to use Google doc and we were able to hand select all the songs we wanted. ALSO, our MC was in a car accident 30 minutes before the wedding and could not attend. Wade jumped right in and did all of the wedding party introductions at the last possible minute. Great dude, super professional, we would highly recommend him to any one!

Wade Washington made our wedding such an incredible success. From the date we inquired about booking until the minute the wedding was over, the service, professionalism, attention to detail and personal care was impeccable! We asked last minuet for Wade to be our MC and he was so accommodating! The photo booth was a great success, and the lighting gave the room an extra special touch. The Avida Entertainment website makes choosing the perfect custom wedding playlist so easy! Thank you for helping to make our wedding the most memorable and special day of our lives!

DJ Wade was AMAZING! He was terrific to work with and so easy going. His online music forms were very straight forward to fill out so he knew exactly what my husband and I wanted for our special day. He was punctual and organized. He had great ideas and he set up a projector with a slideshow that ran the whole time at the reception. The music was so smooth in transitioning and he knew what exactly to play based on the mood. The wedding definitely would not have gone as smoothly without him. My husband and I were extremely impressed with him and will recommend him for any occasion.

Avida is professional, modern, and fun! Music is such a big part of your day and you can be fully confident you're getting a great service with a talented DJ. He's prompt and takes it really seriously, but not at the expense of providing the best and most fun atmosphere for you and your guests.

Avida entertainment was so easy to work with. He met us at the location and planned out all of the music- he thought of things I would have never thought of (where he should set up so he isn't in the way- he was there early and ready for setup) kept the dance floor moving all night and had an excellent mixture of old and new to appeal to everyone. I would highly recommend Avida entertainment.

We hired Avida entertainment for our wedding reception and Wade did a phenomenal job at helping us to organize and choose songs prior to as well as reading the crowd to play music that was enjoyable for everyone. He met with us at the venue a couple months before our wedding and seemed genuinely interested to help us. We received many compliments about our great DJ! It was a pleasure to work with Wade.

We could not be happier with our decision to have Wade DJ our wedding. He made the whole experience so wonderful from start to finish, he was so great to deal with and always willing to help. Our guests still rave about how awesome the music was! The whole night was perfect, but I will always remember when I was getting photos with my bridesmaids and Wade was setting up for the ceremony, he turned up the music and had us all dancing and laughing! We had the best time! If you are on the fence about who to choose as a DJ, I can guarantee you, Wade is your guy. He is so talented and outgoing! He had everyone dancing all night; I actually felt bad I didn't talk to more of the guests, but I was just having way too much fun on the dance floor! Thanks Wade!!
