    Shoutout to shane as the best dj & mc ever!

    We had an amazing experience with AboutTown. Laura was so responsive and easy to work with. We booked our DJ package in January and almost at the last minute decided to book them for our MC needs. Laura reached out to their contacts immediately and assigned us DJ Matrimony (aka Shane) as our DJ & MC.

    SHANE WAS SO GOOD 😭😭😭 He was actually MC for another friend's wedding we attended in July and I'm surprised he didn't remember me as that drunk guest loudly requesting Becky G LOL!! He absolutely nailed it. My husband's niece absolutely carried the entire dance floor and Shane even welcomed him into the DJ booth to show him around and let him "DJ" a few times. Let's not forget one of our guests started a "potted plant dance"... where they went around the event floor, grabbed a bunch of small potted plants and danced with them over their heads?! 😹😹 AND SHANE JOINED IN CUZ HE WAS SUCH A GOOD SPORT. Our reception was such a blast. Thank you Shane for keeping the party on fire!!!

    We danced the night away!

    About Town Entertainment, especially Laura and DJ Matrimony were so kind, attentive and professional. We and our wedding guests had an excellent time dancing the night away. ATE understands weddings and did not disappoint. I could not recommend them enough! There's no need to look for anyone else. One stop shop for wedding music and entertainment!

    Book with About Town!

    Don't look any further - book with About Town! Communication before the ceremony was seamless with the About Town team and they made everything easy from the start. We had Cody as our DJ and he played the best music and he clearly was making sure that the songs seamlessly flowed into one another (rather than just playing a playlist). He knew what songs to play when the dance floor was dying, so we had an active dance floor from 9:00pm - 1:30am which is exactly what we wanted! He cued the music at the right time, and overall made the night so much fun.

    We also had a photobooth from About Town and it was a hit! Everyone loved it, they had so many customization options for the booth itself, the font on the print outs, and for props for the photo booth. It was so easy to book both with them.

    THANK YOU to the About Town Team! Seriously, if you are considering booking a DJ for an event then stop thinking about it and book with About Town.

    About Town Entertainment's reply:

    Well you have all of us over here blushing Elan, thank you so much for taking the time to write this review!

    Cody said the dancefloor was electric and he had a wonderful time at your beautiful celebration, thank you SO much for having us and we hope to see you two at another celebration soon!

    Sincerely,

    - The About Town Entertainment Team

    DJ Matrimony was awesome!

    Our wedding planner recommended us About Town Entertainment for our wedding this past August, and we were assigned DJ Matrimony. We only have good things to say about his services. The questionnaire we had filled was followed to a tee. The music during the dinner was perfect, and once the dance floor opened, it did not empty until the end. He helped us make some announcements. He was super easy to talk to, and even offered to be a DD if we needed it.

    We would not hesitate to recommend About Town to anyone needing DJ services.

    About Town Entertainment's reply:

    Hello Jacy!

    Thank you so much for your kind words! Shane (DJ Matrimony), had a blast as well and said everyone was so wonderful.

    We wish you two a lifetime of happiness, and hope to be celebrating with you again soon!

    Thank you!

    Thank you, About Town, for helping us dance up a storm at our wedding. You chose the best DJ for us based on our song and genre requests. Brent was able to feel the energy in the crowd and adjust the music. Everything you said in the consultation and contract were met and even exceeded our expectations. Thanks again Michael, Laura and Brent!

    About Town Entertainment's reply:

    Hello Jen!

    Thank you for taking the time to leave this wonderful review! It was a pleasure working with you leading up to your big day, and Brent said everyone was a blast to play for! We hope to celebrate with you again soon!

    Amazing DJ!

    Shane from About Town was absolutely perfect! They were incredibly accommodating when we had something go wrong and had many last-minute changes, getting us a second microphone and changing the whole structure of the ceremony. Shane rolled with the punches and did not miss a beat. We gave him a pretty general idea of what our taste in music is and he absolutely nailed the playlist. I would hire him again in a heartbeat.

    About Town Entertainment's reply:

    Thank you for your review Ben! Rolling with the punches is almost as important as a job as nailing every mix, and Shane was absolutely happy to do both of those things!

    We hope to be celebrating with you again soon!

    Best part of my wedding

    I was having a lot of trouble finding a DJ for my wedding in Banff. One of my bridesmaids suggested asking her wedding DJ, Michael, for a recommendation. He said he couldn’t confidentiality recommend anyone but had done his sisters wedding at the same venue a couple years prior. I am sooooooo happy I went with about town. My wedding was a mix of 60 year old family friends and 20/30 year olds and I don’t think the music choices could have been better. Everyone danced all night and the ceremony went off without a hitch. Gosh I just cannot recommend them more. What a perfect day with a perfect DJ

    About Town Entertainment's reply:

    Tessa thank you SO much for your wonderful review, and for having Michael be a part of your big day! It was a beautiful day for two beautiful souls.

    We wish you a lifetime of health and happiness!

    The party didn’t stop!

    I would absolutely recommend About Town Entertainment. Shane was our DJ for our big, formal, Croatian wedding at the Terminal City Club. We had a huge variety of requests - from jazz swing, to Croatian music, to oldies, to 2000s hits - and they managed to capture everything we wanted on our day. The dancing was non-stop all night, and Shane was kind enough to play us a few extra songs after our time was up.

    About Town Entertainment's reply:

    Aw thank you SO much for your wonderful review Nicole, it was our absolute pleasure being part of your big day, and we thank you again for considering About Town Entertainment!

    Best DJ ever!

    Johnny was fantastic at my wedding. Not only super kind and polite but he managed to keep the dance floor full the whole night. I should also note that my dance floor had to be outside at Riverway Clubhouse due to covid restrictions in October, and only partially covered from the rain. So for a DJ to keep it busy all night I’d say that was quite impressive! It was hard to want to leave the dance floor as it was one good song after another. Johnny played music for all ages and read the crowd well.
