Collins Entertainment Reviews
Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We are so happy we found the Collins Entertainment team for our wedding day! DJ Charlie was an awesome teammate in our planning process and made us feel at ease from start to finish on the big day. From the initial coordination with Mitch, to emailing back and forth with Mitch, the owner Jim, and Charlie to address our questions, to the respect for our song requests and capturing our overall theme, we were really pleased throughout. We appreciated the event planning platform, which forced us to think through all of the questions that a DJ, the Master of Ceremonies, really needs to know to make an event successful. The Collins team also sends periodic wedding countdown reminder e-mails that are extremely helpful and ensured that we were doing the right things at the right time. We only had two minor complaints. First, we were unhappy that one profane rap song made it into the dancing portion of the night - which in fairness may have been requested by one of our family members - but it really threw off the vibe for us for a couple of minutes (especially because we had a lot of family and older guests in attendance). Not sure if others noticed it as much, as the dancing continued regardless. Second, the website platform is a little unintuitive, and could probably use an update in the next few years: the site is also not integrated with any music platform (like Spotify or YouTube), which made it a little cumbersome to toggle between browser windows. Our ceremony was extremely important to us, and we were nervous about it because it was outdoors and we weren’t entirely sure how the acoustics and electrical setup would work at the venue. Charlie made sure that the prelude and processional music and ceremony audio were perfectly timed, at the right volume, and that the microphone and other equipment were functional without interruption. While it’s probably an industry standard, we still truly appreciated that Charlie matched our dress code for the wedding, and looked super sharp in his suit despite the August weather and the air conditioning failing in the reception area just before the wedding! Charlie captured our requested music themes for the cocktail hour and throughout the reception, made the right introductions and announcements throughout. He did a fantastic job of reading the room and keeping things moving, and provided the exact level of interaction and number of announcements that we were hoping for. It all felt very natural. People danced throughout, despite it being hot in the building, and Charlie kept everybody moving and built off our requested playlist very well. We were also so glad we chose the uplighting option - it made the reception area look so much better as the evening progressed, and we couldn’t imagine the space without that detail. We were really going for a classy, timeless wedding day, and Charlie and the Collins Entertainment team did a phenomenal job of making that a reality. They paid attention to the details, were extremely professional yet relatable, and demonstrated skill in their craft. We’ve been to so many weddings and the choice of a DJ can really make or break the day. If we had to do it all over again, we would choose Collins Entertainment for our wedding every time, and we strongly recommend their services to anyone planning a wedding or event!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Highly recommend using them for your event!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had the best time at our wedding! Folks were on the dance floor all night with Jared's quick mixes and transitions from one banger to another. We told Jared that we wanted him to "read the room" to keep the vibes going all night, and he delivered! The lights, the energy, and the magic flowed all night long!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Collins Entertainment is fantastic to work with from the planning process all the way through to wedding day! Their quick responsiveness to emails always made us feel prioritized and confident in our decision to choose them. We had DJ Charlie for our wedding and absolutely loved working with him! He paid attention to every detail, listened to our requests and kept the dance floor packed the entire night!! We even had the fire alarm go off at our venue which led to a 30- minute extension of the reception and he stayed without any hesitation which we appreciate so much! We definitely recommend using Collins for your next event!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Just had my wedding this past Saturday 9/13/25.

Thank you!!!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We just had Collins entertainment DJ our wedding yesterday (5/30/2025) specifically DJ Jared. The communication starting from the initial consultation was excellent. Everything was laid out and easy to understand. They stayed in contact and their portal online to plan was simple and fun to use. DJ Jared reached out a week prior and spoke with us for about an hour to dial in all the fine details. He managed any hiccups in planning like a professional. He was prompt, on time, extremely professional and helpful. Just the right amount of energy, followed through on everything we spoke about regarding how the evening would turn out. He absolutely KILLED IT once dinner was over and people hit the dance floor. People were out dancing for almost 2 hrs straight! Which is a fantastic testament to how well thought out and detailed he was. 11/10 couldn't recommend enough. It was a big part of one of the best days of our lives. Thanks so much. Tyler & Caryn GregoryPosted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Collins Entertainment exceeded our expectations! Having an energetic and packed dance floor was a priority for me going into wedding planning, and Jared did not disappoint. We also added the live sax player, which was a huge hit with everyone. 10/10 would recommend!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a Fall outdoor wedding hosted by DJ Charlie Maracle. He was amazing, and fully embraced the 80's metal theme. Collins has a very professional and well thought out process from start to finish. You can have as much or as little involvement as you would like. Highly recommend them for any event. Holly & DennisPosted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Collins Entertainment was fantastic! The planning process was super easy, and talking to Mitch and Jim just felt natural. We had DJ Maurice for our wedding and he was incredible! Asked him to play the best parts of songs and keep mixing things up, and that’s exactly what he did. All of our guests still talk about how great the DJ was. Thank you Collins!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can’t rave enough about Collins Entertainment! They were our DJ for our wedding, and they absolutely knocked it out of the park. From start to finish, everything went off without a hitch, and the energy was incredible! The DJ was fantastic—he not only knew how to keep the dance floor packed but also remembered everyone’s names, which was such a fun and personal touch. If you’re a couple on the hunt for a DJ I wholeheartedly recommend Collins Entertainment. They made our big day unforgettable, and I’m sure they’ll do the same for you.
