    Finn was our DJ for our wedding and we are so happy we ended up going with Engage Entertainment! We had a DJ falling out last minute and Finn and Tyler were quick to get the ball rolling to make sure our wedding was perfect and by all means, IT WAS PERFECT! Finn was so fast at responding, answering all my questions, and then showing up and making the day flawless. Engage Entertainment truly knows what they are doing!!

    If you're searching for the ultimate wedding DJ who can balance keeping the trains running on time during dinner with an absolutely amazing dance party to follow, look no further than Finn.

    In the months and weeks leading up to our event, Finn went above and beyond in helping us plan the best dancing experience, running through various music, light, and effects options — and then going the extra miles (literally) to work with our venue to ensure we could execute on the vision that he had built with us.

    During the dinner reception, Finn effortlessly kept the evening flowing with his exceptional emceeing skills. His ability to read the room and gauge the perfect timing for announcements, toasts, and special moments was impeccable. We never felt rushed or stagnant; instead, each transition felt natural and smooth, allowing us to relax and enjoy the celebration.

    When the time came to hit the dance floor, Finn truly took the party to the next level. Finn mixed an amazing set for our party, including spins on some of my and my husband’s favorites. I literally barely had a chance to get a bite of dessert or any of my cherished chicken tendies because I had so much fun dancing — and I know I wasn’t alone in that feeling.

    What truly set Finn apart was his ability to connect with our guests and elevate the overall experience. Their enthusiasm was palpable as they danced the night away, and we lost count of how many people told us it was the most fun they'd ever had at a wedding — including my Rave Fam, who said that Finn somehow brought an EDC vibe to a resort ballroom.

    If you want your wedding to be a celebration that your guests will never forget, do yourself a favor and book Finn. Trust me, you won't regret it.

    P.S. During dancing, guests from another wedding accidentally wandered into ours - and their eyes literally widened thinking “oh damn, this party is WAY better than ours!” They lingered for a few minutes, clearly tempted to join. 😂

    Finn was THE best! Highly recommend - high energy, chill vibes, all smiles, great personality, and had the best music choices. He was super accommodating and played what we wanted and also took song requests. He is such a great DJ and you would be lucky to have him at your wedding or event.

    Our wedding DJ Finn was absolutely fantastic to work with. When we first met he made sure to understand what music we liked, what we expected, and aligned himself to our needs. He knew exactly how to keep the energy high and the dance floor packed all night long. From the moment we met him, we knew we were in good hands. If you're looking for a DJ who will make your wedding unforgettable, look no further Finn is HIM

    Engage Entertainment is the best!! especially FINN!!! I used Engage Entertainment as my DJ vendor for my wedding and they crushed it! They were one of the easiest vendors to work with and exceeded my expectations. Finn was so organized and prepared. He even had my speech pulled up and ready to go when the time came! Finn curated a well-rounded blend of all of the songs we wanted/crowd favorites. He also seamlessly integrated some song requests from the dance floor that I know was not easy to do. All of my guests were on the dance floor all night long and they loved every song and mix he had played! And the lights/lasers brought the dance floor to another level! We can't recommend Engage and Finn enough!
