Encore Events & Entertainment

Yvonne is excellent to work with! She has a great personality and eye for decorating. She decorated our venue and it was absolutely perfect. She had many great centerpieces/​décor items to choose from, and every single one was exactly what we were looking for. A+

We used Total Encore DJ for our wedding reception in October 2015. Long story short, we were unhappy with their services and would not recommend them.
Overall, it seemed like communication between the owner and the DJ/​emcee didn’t ever take place, as information provided to one didn’t make its way to the other. Prior to the wedding, our check for final payment was mailed well before the due date, but was lost because the company’s address changed and we were never updated, either by email, phone, or an updated address on the company’s website. The owner paid for our fees to cancel the check and pay by credit card, so I have to say that I appreciate him doing the right thing.
On the day of the wedding, our DJ/​emcee didn’t even know how to pronounce the groom’s last name, and had to ask some of our guests. Luckily our friends decided not to be pranksters. They let the fathers give their speeches before champagne was poured, so there was nothing to toast with. They played the cake cutting song during our entrance, so we asked them to transpose the songs so they didn’t play the same one during our actual cake cutting. They played the entirely wrong genre of music during dinner. We asked for a Frank Sinatra type of vibe during dinner, and they were playing pop songs from the 80’s. During the dancing portion, they played the same song more than once, and played a song a guest requested that was on our do not play list.
Most upsetting of all, they played the wrong version of our first dance song, that we had taken dance lessons for and had choreographed down to the second. We had taken weekly dance lessons for about 9 months prior to the wedding, and this was stressed to the owner during the planning session, and to the DJ on the day of the wedding. The DJ played the opening of the song for me ahead of time, which sounded correct, but was a minute shorter compared to the original version we had choreographed.
The main selling point of having a DJ/​emcee is they play the songs you want, and properly dictate the pace of the evening. Neither of these two things was done for our wedding, and we could not recommend their services.

Jeff from total encore events got literally everyone at our wedding on the dance floor, what?! That is incredible. Everyone commented about how much they LOVED the DJ and enjoyed dancing. If you aren’t sure your friends and family will dance, Jeff can get them out there! Defiantly a highlight of the night. :) thanks Jeff!

Jeff was amazing! When our wedding ceremony had some hiccups in the schedule, he remained professional and everything went off without an issue. The reception was a blast, from the introduction of the couple to the dinner to the dancing. Jeff was really easy to work with leading up to the wedding — he got a great idea of what kind of music we were looking for, did a run through a couple weeks before to make sure everything was good, and we were just able to trust him to read the crowd during the day. We heard everything from Jason Derulo to Backstreet Boys to Bön Jovi to Walk the Moon to Bruno Mars and a whole bunch more. Who knew our friends would go crazy when he put on Wilson Phillips? The next few minutes were insane. I never thought I’d say we’d kiss while crowd surfing to R. Kelly’s Ignition. Other guests said «there were too many good songs, it was hard to take a break from dancing». People would literally run to the floor when they heard a song come on. Jeff did an awesome job mixing songs, transitioning between them and even overlaying a couple on top of each other for a bit. Thank you so much Jeff for an awesome wedding!

We had such an amazing time at our wedding with Jeff in charge of the entertainment! He was fantastic to work with and he and my husband clicked musically from our first meeting. Everything was so easy to plan, we just gave him some taste parameters and he selected a playlist that had the dance floor packed all night! He oversaw the ceremony music and took care of all our requests. The dinner music was tasteful and perfect. He kept the flow of the wedding moving so we could get cake and everything else done in a timely manner! We also had the photo booth and it was SO much fun! I highly recommend adding it! We could not have been happier in choosing Encore for our DJ!

Encore provided alot of laughs during our Holiday Party @ Sports Authority Field this December. They had a great selection of Wigs, Glasses and other props to make you smile.
Unlimited photo sessions. The staff was professional & helpful in making a memorable experience. Look forward to having them @ our next party.

Jeff was fantastic. He kept the dance floor packed for the entire night. Jeff was wonderful to work with, we met with him a couple of times before the wedding and he really helped us plan out the order of events and what songs go well for what part of the night. He was very receptive to everything we asked him to play! The best part was, the party never stopped. There was NEVER a song that people questioned or walked off the dance floor. He read the room and the guests perfectly. I cannot say enough good things about Jeff. He drove all the way up to Grand Lake, was punctual and stayed late into the night. Do yourself a favor and book now if he has your date open!!!
