    10.22.22 wedding

    We had the pleasure of having United Entertainment coordinate, DJ and emcee our wedding along with providing a photo booth. To say we love this company is an understatement. They understand the assignment and provide a service unlike any other Entertainment company. We wouldn't have had any other entertainment company be with us on our special day. Their level of care and professionalism cannot be beat. Thank you again United Entertainment for making our special day that much more special.

    Amazing dj!

    I cannot rave enough about Filander at United Entertainment DJ services!! From day one, Filander was extremely professional and organized which made our virtual meetings extremely productive and useful. He also has amazing customer service and took the time to reassure me the day before my wedding that I have nothing to worry about, and he was right! On my wedding day, Filander arrived early to set up and coordinated with the venue to ensure my wedding day went smoothly. During the reception, he made sure people giving speeches knew how to hold the mic and remembered to bring their glasses for toasts. After the meal was over, Filander was able to get EVERYONE on the dance floor and played the right music to keep them there! Our dance floor was never empty and we partied until closing at 1 am (even my parents were dancing all night!). At the end of the night after everyone left, my husband and I had to stay behind to clean up and Filander was kind enough to stay with us until our ride showed up! This is what I mean by EXCEPTIONAL customer service! Days after my wedding, my guests keep telling me how great our DJ was and I couldn't agree more! For anyone looking for a DJ, you can stop your search because Filander and his team are great people that are amazing at what they do. I cannot recommend them enough! Thank you so much for everything!

    If we had to do it all again, we'd choose United Entertainment!

    If we could rate United Entertainment more than 5 stars, we definitely would! We had the most wonderful experience working with Filander and his team on our wedding day in September 2022. United Entertainment was a preferred vendor at our wedding venue, and we know exactly why. Filander and his team are professional, efficient, knowledgable, and are just simply the nicest people you will ever meet! Along with DJ services, we also hired United for day-of coordination and their photo booth.

    In the months leading up to the wedding, Filander was a great resource to us and was so helpful in providing his honest and thoughtful input. My husband and I planned most of the wedding ourselves with the help of our family and friends, so his guidance was so valuable. It was evident that he had a lot of experience in the field, and we immediately felt like we were in good hands. Filander and our day-of coordinator Daysi, really helped us navigate our very busy schedule and reception program. Our families and bridal party all agreed that their presence truly helped the day go so smoothly. It felt as if we knew them for much longer than the few months (and for Daysi, the few days) leading up to our wedding!

    Filander was such a great DJ and had no trouble hyping up our guests. Daysi was well organized and was so quick to resolve any issues that had come up that day. The photo booth was a hit with our guests and the attendant Julian was so accommodating all throughout the night.

    Filander was very open to customizing each and every service to our unique needs and his team played such a big part in making our wedding reception an absolute dream. Thank you United Entertainment for helping to make our special day so memorable - truly a night we’ll never forget and will cherish for the rest of our lives.

    Wonderful and experienced!

    United Entertainment DJ Services is a composed of consummate professionals, and are knowledgeable in every way to make your wedding the perfect one. I had them for my September wedding and everything went super smoothly with them.
    Filander - Thank you for being so thorough with the music during every phase of the wedding. You took a huge jumbled/numbered list from us and turned it into a well thought out manuscript. The songs were on point, well tested for sound to have things sound their best, and the dancing part was fantastically coordinated. It was super great having the mix of bumpin' songs and slow dances for the older folk.
    Daysi - The timing of everything was impeccable. You took off all the pressure from us and ensured everything was flowing according to plan (which you also so thoroughly went through with us!). I couldn't believe we didn't even need to plan our entrance into the reception; you took our idea and turned it into an incredible moment
    Julian and Kyarah - Thank you for being incredible photobooth photographers and being so enthusiastic in getting people to pose in the photos. We have a book of incredibly special memories all thanks to you. The photo quality is ~incredible~ and everyone loved it so much.
    I want to highlight how important wedding coordinators are. Before my wedding, I was of the opinion that I could coordinate everything. After the wedding, I could not believe how wrong I was. There's so much to the day that requires careful coordination, and Daysi did a phenomenal job ensuring everything we wanted to happen, happened (ceremony, food, photos, entrances, speeches, and more!).

    Fantastic experience with United Entertainment DJ!

    We had the pleasure of Filanders' services last night for our wedding. To get straight to the point; BOOK HIM. His level of dedication to making our evening happen the way we planned was above and beyond. He communicated openly and honestly and provided easy suggestions on how to get the desired vision for our event. He had our guests out of their chairs busting moves, our speakers/speeches flowing smoothly and a steady stream of communication to the venue on all other aspects of the evening.

    My wife and I would book him again for any future event without hesitation. Period.

    Thank you Filander, and United Ent.

    Myroslav & Natasha wedding

    Filander took such great care of us at our wedding. He made sure the ceremony and reception had an easy, natural flow and we felt like we were in good hands with him. He coordinated with all the different vendors and venue to make sure everything went smoothly and it did. He showed up early even after getting into a fender bender on the way to our wedding! Our friends and us are looking for more excuses to hire him other than weddings. Can’t recommend United Entertainment enough!

    Amazing planning and DJ Services

    We hired United Entertainment for their DJ/MC services and Month of Wedding Planning package. It was simply the best decision we made regarding our wedding…aside from us deciding to marry each other :)

    In the month leading up to our big day, Filander and Daysi did an unbelievable job keeping us organized and reducing stress. Their weekly meetings covered every possible detail for our wedding. Thanks to their expertise, our energy was focused on completing tasks, as opposed to wasted trying to figure out what needs to be done. If there was ever an issue, big or small, we could simply pass it on to Filander or Daysi, who would guide us with the best course of action.

    On our wedding day, we cannot express enough how comforting it was knowing that Filander and Daysi were in control. It seemed like they were able to foresee any possible issue that might arise, solving it before we could even notice. Our guests raved about the atmosphere created with the DJ/MC services. They truly are experts on how to get a party going and adjust to any circumstance.

    Thank you to the United Entertainment team for the outstanding work you did for us. We couldn’t imagine our big day without you. For anyone looking to exponentially reduce the stress that wedding planning can bring, and assure their big day is as close to perfect as can be, we recommend United Entertainments DJ/MC Services and Month of Planning package.

    Sincerely,
    Mira & Nathan

    Amazing company

    HIRE THIS COMPANY!!!!! My husband and I just got married this past week. We hired Filander back in 2020 (we found them by chance through a Facebook ad). When we postponed our wedding till 2022, there were no issues on their part to be able to accommodate. Filander was amazing to meet with; super personable with a great attitude. In Jan 2022 he advised us of his new Coordinator services. We decided to try it and WOW it is WORTH IT. Maria was our coordinator and we truly couldn't have completed the day without her help. She was very attentive, super fun, and went above and beyond. We LOVED working with her and so many of our guests commented on how great she was on the day-of. We had the pleasure of having DJ Mark as our DJ for the day and he was AWESOME. Our dance floor was BUMPIN' and he was so much fun. He went above and beyond to ensure my husband and I had a great night. SO thankful for the entire United Entertainment team. Highly recommend this company!!!

    An absolutely sound decision to hire United

    We had our wedding reception at Willow Springs after nearly two years of postponements due to Covid. We want to sincerely thank Filander, who was our DJ and MC, for being such a huge part in making our night truly amazing. He lent a hand in helping us sort out some unexpected people troubles and coordinating with venue staff, he kept things moving and on track, he really kept the vibe and energy up, he worked REALLY well with us and our wedding party, and so much more. Filander was exceptionally accommodating and helped us whenever and wherever we needed it. He was so easy to approach and talk to, from our very first call with him, all the way through the end of our reception night. Few vendors are as kind and caring as Filander is, and we can't thank him enough for that.

    We want more people to experience the level of hospitality that Filander gave us. If you are trying to choose a DJ for your upcoming wedding or event, please seriously consider Filander and United Entertainment. You'd be making a sound decision doing so!
