Neal and DJ XTCEntertainment are the dream team you need at your wedding!

If you want a wedding where all your guest (multiple generations) are all on the dance floor for hours, then you need Neal and DJ XTCEntertainment! From the first intro video call, Neal made us feel so comfortable and instantly showed us that DJ XTCEntertainment was the right team to MC and DJ our reception. We came in with a vision that we wanted our wedding to feel like a family summer cookout and Neal did not disappoint! We got married in September 2024 and we’re still getting compliments on how great Neal was. He interacted with our guests throughout the reception and made them feel so comfortable that there was no hesitation once the dance floor was open. Neal took our song recommendations and created a masterpiece of a set list. The communication leading up to and on our wedding day was top tier. This was the key to us being able to just live in the moment because we knew Neal had us. He understood the type of couple we were, the vision we had and in the end the vibes were beyond our expectations!

We would 100% recommend Neal and DJ XTCEntertainment to anyone getting married.

Everytime we think back to our wedding day we’re always in disbelief of how stress free the day was. This is all because we had
Neal apart of our dream team.

Wedding DJ

Neal was great to work with! His reminder emails were a guide post throughout our wedding prep.
He is charismatic, fun and can read the room. Also helped to bring a few of our surprises to life.
My only shtick is that not all of our song requests were played. Overall, he provided a great environment at our wedding.

The best MC ever!

We booked through DJ XTC and I cannot recommend them enough. Neal was extremely helpful with questions we had before booking. Their web planner is amazing and allows you to plan at your own pace. They also went out of their way to meet with us well outside of their regular hours since we were planning from the west coast.

In terms of execution, it was flawless. They arrived extremely early and setup. They checked in with us to lock down final timings. They got all the songs we wanted played and we had Neal doing the master of ceremony for us. He really knows what he’s doing and did such a great job. He knows how to keep the flow going and how to get people onto the dance floor, I highly recommend the add Neal package if you want a great MC.

The party of a lifetime!

We can’t stop raving about Neal and his excellent DJ and emcee services! From the moment we met Neal, we knew he was the one we wanted to work with to make our day special. His warm, fun, and professional demeanour made him such a pleasure to work with. Neal’s experience is extremely evident; he approaches every client and opportunity with a refreshing passion, and cares deeply for his customers. On the day of the wedding, he kept the dance floor packed all night until the lights came on, and we received countless praise from guests on his music selection and enthusiasm. It was a party of a lifetime! Thanks Neal!

Top 10 times the DJ understood the assignment

Neil was super helpful making sure everything was planned out perfectly beforehand. Had a good interface to setup a timeline, request songs and communicate. Was readily available for calls and was punctual with meetings. Our reception had DJ Issac on the music and he was perfect. Provided all the equipment and MC'd the night wonderfully. Kept all dance floor going all night long and was very helpful with getting all the speeches and dances on time and keeping the wedding on schedule. He already knew the venue and was setup and ready right on time.

Simply the best wedding DJ

Neal was incredible, both during the planning stages and as the DJ at our wedding. The way they organize the online platform where we give input made it easy for us to give them an idea of our music wants & needs while also keeping it simple and not time consuming. We had an epic dance party; everyone was talking about it at brunch the next morning! Would not hesitate to hire Neal and team again if I ever need a DJ.

Amazing job for a very last minute wedding

Neal was phenomenal every step of the way. We had only decided on our wedding date with about 50 days to go. When we spoke to Neal, he was absolutely prepared, knowledgable about the ceremony and aspects of each part, and was very helpful with questions we had. He was extremely flexible given the short turnaround time, and never made us feel bad for when things popped up unannounced. Even with changes on the day of, Neal was stellar.

Highly recommend for your DJ needs!!! Thanks Neal!

Amazing Experience!

We wanted to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude for the incredible job Neal did at our wedding. His music selection and talent truly made our night unforgettable.

The way he had the dance floor jumping and buzzing the entire evening was beyond our expectations. His ability to read the crowd and play the perfect songs at the right moments created an electric atmosphere that everyone enjoyed. It was evident that he put so much effort into understanding our preferences and the vibe we wanted for our wedding.

His role in creating memories that will last a lifetime cannot be overstated. Our guests have been raving about how much fun they had on the dance floor, and we owe that all to Neal.

Thank you again for making our wedding night so magical! His professionalism, passion, and skill as a DJ are truly commendable. We are so grateful to have had him as a part of our celebration.
