    Top Notch, professional service

    We used CoolCityEntertaiment for our wedding and could not have been more pleased with the quality of service offered. Chris was very easy to work with, open to communication every step of the way and definitely delivered on our big night. He played a great mix of music, throughout the night guests came up to me (the groom) saying what a great choice he was. Thanks for making our day so special, I can highly recommend CoolCityEntertainment!

    Amazing DJ

    I worked with Chris, who DJ'd our wedding reception in Salem, MA. Chris was very easy to work with, responsive to any questions and made our special night awesome! His equipment is top notch, he was able to keep people dancing all night long, and was flexible in the music selection. I couldn't have asked for a better night and would highly recommend Chris for anyone's special event.

    Absolutely Fantastic!!

    I heard about Chris and CoolCityEntertainment through a friend who recommend them to me and I am so happy they did! I have see some bad dj's in my time and so I was really nervous about hiring one for our wedding. Our wedding was at the end of September in 2021 (mid-pandemic) and Chris made everything really simple, listened to all of our concerns, and when we needed to extend our time last minute to include the ceremony he was was able to come early and make it work. He played absolute bangers the entire time and our photographer even said he hasn't seen that many people dancing at a wedding in years! It was perfect!!! HIghly recommend!

    Absolutely wonderful

    You could not have a better experience.

    The music we chose was played at the most perfect times. Everyone was dancing and laughing and having a great time.

    My wife and I met Chris at an expo during the start of the pandemic and we were nervous of the little details. Everything was taken care of.

    As every wedding goes there are small details to worry about. Not with Chris. He will be there early and be there ready to get the party started.

    The photobooth (separate part of the package) was so much fun. We had all of our family take silly photos with the props provided!

    Then after only a few days I checked the mailbox and saw a USB drive of every photo taken with a lovely message saying congratulations!

    Everyone is having a wedding these days after so much isolation. I will be recommending Chris and CoolCityEntertainment to everyone looking for a DJ. You get to relax and let him take over the most important day.

    Thank you!!! - a very happy couple :)

    Chris was amazing to work with. He was extremely professional and adhered to all my wishes while being very flexible if I changed my mind. He kept the wedding moving on track and presented me with a beautiful package at the end of the night with the photobooth pictures. I would hire him again in an instant!

    Best DJ Experience Ever!

    Chris was absolutely amazing from our very first meeting, to following up with us post wedding night. The music at our wedding was what we looked forward to the most, so we had a lot of requests, questions and concerns. Chris was extremely responsive, communicated well and knew his stuff. Our guests didn't leave the dance floor ALL NIGHT - it was awesome. We received so many compliments about Chris and would recommend him to anyone!

    Awesome Experience!

    We had a great experience working with Chris from start to finish. He is very friendly, and was responsive and helpful throughout the planning process and met with us in-person to go over all of our details and requests. He provided services from our ceremony through to the end of the reception and we had an awesome time knowing that we didn't have to worry about anything. We got tons of compliments from our guests on the great playlist! At one point, one of our guests asked Chris to play a song that was on our do not play list. Chris was very friendly and professional, and simply told her he wouldn't be able to play that song. Chris's rates are also very reasonable, and it was a great value for the money. We highly recommend Chris for anyone looking for a professional, friendly, and easy to work with DJ!

    Amazing DJ!!!

    I cannot say enough how happy I am with our decision to hire Chris for our DJ services!! He brought our wedding to life with not only the music selection but engaging the guests so they were also a part of the reception. The number of guests who came up to me during the reception asking for his information was astounding. Everyone from young to old were thoroughly pleased with him and only had great things to say!! Chris is professional, friendly, and accommodating to all needs. He made our cocktail hour and reception so memorable and I am so grateful to him!!

    Wonderful, A+ DJ!

    Chris was fantastic! His pre-wedding questionnaire was very detailed and he took time to speak with us on the phone prior to the wedding to discuss specifics. Everything went exactly as planned with no surprises or hiccups. We were very pleased, and all of our guests had a great time. Excellent value for the money as we found Chris' rates very reasonable!

    Proud to partner with DJ Chris!

    DJ Chris is the best! He was our most responsive vendor by far, and made the music process very straightforward for us between email/text communication and the online platform. He offers a very fair price, and will not try to up-sell you on items you are not interested in.

    Chris is so genuine, and super excited about your day and the music that will create lasting memories. He really devotes substantial time to thinking about your song choices and bringing them together for the ceremony/reception. He worked with us to have two friends play two different songs on guitar during the reception, and helped coordinate with our Best Man to have musical accompaniment during his speech.

    His joy in DJing really helped to elevate our own excitement leading up to and on the big day! We are proud to have partnered with Chris for our wedding.

    The best experience possible.

    Chris was the most enjoyable vendor I hired for my wedding. He was fantastic, from the amazing communication about who we were and what tone we wanted for our wedding, to taking the extra step to communicate with my other vendors to make sure they were on the same page. He was the key piece of the party, and every single one of our guest enjoyed his work! I can't say enough about how much we adored him, from his enthusiasm about our intro request (wrestling themes) to our dinner starting with a Disney song. He took every quirk we had and made it accessible to the masses, while still covering all the must plays and party hits. Our reception floor was packed from start to end, and I will never forget the laughter and smiles from our friends and family as they partied. Even more, when I had last minute changes to my bridal party and sister/bride dance due to illness- he accommodated my request with ease, taking a wild amount of stress off of my shoulders. Chris is pretty much family now.

    We couldn't have asked for a better DJ!

    Chris was the DJ at my wedding a few weeks ago. He did an amazing job and listened to me and my husbands requests no matter how demanding they were! He was great to work with, was always easily accessible, and has a great attitude. He did a great job at our wedding and made sure there was always people on the dance floor having a great time! I would definitely recommend Chris for anyone’s wedding!

    Awesome wedding night

    DJ Chris was amazing throughout our whole wedding planning process. He attended to every detail and made last minute adjustments to our wedding dance song. He was so flexible, condsiderate and responsive and had the crowd dancing throughout the night. We just loved him!!

    Worry free DJ

    Chris was amazing! We got married on Labor Day weekend and there was one thing I knew we did not have to worry about... the DJ. Chris was very professional and his process of capturing our needs was seamless. He listened to what we wanted and made sure to get the mood just right for the day. I highly recommend Chris to anyone who would like a smooth and easy process for their DJ on their big day!

    Chris Sawyer is without a doubt the best Disc Jockey on the planet. Chris is a professional in every sense of the word. It is so refreshing to deal with someone who LISTENED and followed through with all of my requests. His warmth, great personality, and state-of-the art equipment resulted in a perfect ten function for not only myself but for my guests as well.

    Chris was absolutely amazing to work with from start to finish. I found the DJ research process incredibly difficult, and talked to several. I felt like many jumped to talking about uplighting and add-ons, which I didn't really need and it overwhelmed me. Chris instantly listened to what we were looking for, which was a party. Most of our guests were friends our age (25-35) and so we wanted to keep the music upbeat, relatively modern, with some good throwbacks for people to sing along to. It was important to me that all music played was well-loved music. We had our guests fill out a song on their RSVP cards that would get them up on the dance floor, and I sent along all the suggestions to Chris, who used them to help shape our night. He was super easy-going, listened to what we wanted to hear and what we DID NOT want to hear, and the music just flowed. He read the floor very, very well. I had nightmares about no one dancing, and thankfully those were unfounded! People were up and dancing all night. He helped me find instrumentals of songs I wanted for our ceremony, gave suggestions, and intuitively cut our first dance song down a little bit, which I had wanted him to do but forgot to tell him. He was super quick with his responses, and pretty much always available if I had questions. I know this is said a lot, but we got a ton of compliments on the music and people are still talking about it! Your wedding DJ is an INCREDIBLY important part of your day, so do your research, and figure out what matters most to you! Chris checked off all our boxes, and I'm so happy we hired him!

    This is my third time hiring Chris. The first time was for my daughter's birthday party, and the other two times was for a banquet. He knows how to cater to his crowds! This last time, while he was cleaning up after the banquet was over, a representative of the hall we rented asked for his information. She too was very impressed on his choice of music and he had a crowd dancing the whole time. I highly recommend Chris for any occasion!
