Best DJ hands down

Sam and his team are INCREDIBLE! They really took the time to get to know my partner and I and made our day feel so special, from start to finish. Would highly recommending taking advantage of their MC services while you're at it. Game changers. Thank you again, Sam!

Sam got the party started & it didn't end!

Sam was the recommended DJ from my venue. My fiance and I were very impressed in his musical knowledge and strategies for how he gets different cohorts of people to dance. As my groom has an extensive background in music, we felt extremely comfortable with Sam as our DJ and MC. He helped us build a song list that flowed well, and allowed us to customize our ceremony songs. We had a non-traditional wedding in a traditional event space and Sam helped us customize the feelings of the event through music. Sam even came to the dress rehearsal the night before the wedding to meet all the important family members. He wanted to get to know the family so he could have personalized entrances for the parties. I highly recommend Evolved Entertainment!

Best DJ Ever!

Having Sam be a part of our wedding day was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. One of the biggest wishes we had for our day was for the dance floor to be filled all night long – and that was certainly the case. My feet are still sore three days later from dancing the night away – and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Sam was easily adaptable to an ever-shifting schedule throughout the day due to rain, and was ready to accommodate changes on the fly, ensuring everything was perfect. We’ve heard from many guests that it was the most fun wedding they’ve been to. The music and atmosphere was exactly what we hoped for – and it’s all thanks to Sam! Highly recommend.

Wonderful, experienced DJ

Found Evolved Entertainment on the Oliver Bonacini Preferred Vendor List. Hired Sam to be our DJ for a small restaurant wedding and he did not disappoint. Beyond the music, he helped us plan out our announcements and toasts, and was patient despite some of our last minute planning. He took the time to learn about our preferences as a couple and did a wonderful job keeping our guests up and moving all night. Our family and friends wanted to know who he was, and no one wanted to leave at the end of the night. He did a great job reading our crowd and helped make the night memorable for both us (especially me with the awesome and unexpected childhood She-Ra tribute) and our guests. We are still hearing from everyone how much fun they had. We would highly recommend him to anyone planning their next event. Thanks Sam.

Energized the whole night!

Sam was very professional and very helpful in giving direction to us for our wedding music. Sam comes with lots of experience and has a ton of fun and creative ideas if you are really looking to personalize your wedding! Sam was very organized and worked well with our other vendors. The night was an absolute blast, from the ceremony songs, to cocktail hour, and of course to the dance floor. Sam got in all of our favourites and was able to keep the energy up the whole night!

Must Hire!

My fiancé and I were apprehensive to a lot of entertainment companies where you hire your DJ essentially blind not knowing who they will actually send for your special day. What intrigued us about Evolved Entertainment is the degree of personalization, attention to detail and professionalism. From our initial meeting with "DJ Mike", we were blown away by how much Mike and Sam both cared about our personal preferences for music and how they could enrich our special day. Our second meeting with Mike was over two hours and he provided us so much advice from his experiences with weddings that we found it very helpful. Throughout the whole wedding planning process, Mike and Sam invited us to many events where they would be performing so we could get a better sense of their style, music and setup. Sam was able to join us for our rehearsal which made the day of so much more seamless. Mike and his assistant Matt really did an outstanding job with music queues, analyzing the crowd and having everyone join in on the dance floor at some point in the night. I strongly recommend hiring Evolved Entertainment... Sam and Mike are awesome!!

Danced all day and all night!

Sam was super organized and invested in making sure our wedding was curated to a tee. The dancing started at 4pm (right after our vows) and kept going until almost 2am! In the months and weeks leading up to our big day we worked with Sam to create specific playlists for various parts of the afternoon and evening. When the party got going, Sam was able to work guest requests into his mixes. The sound quality and lights were first rate. Sam most definitely looked the part. We would highly recommend Sam and his team!

Amazing night

A couple weeks ago we had Mike DJ our wedding, and it was seriously perfect! We were a bit nervous due to all the different groups of friends / family coming together with their own tastes, but Mike hit all the spots and kept everyone dancing until closing time. Really incredible -- I think it would have been physically impossible to have more fun. Can't recommend Evolved enough. We're still getting notes saying how much fun the dancing was.

We had Mike DJ our wedding in October and are so glad we did! Throughout the process Mike was amazing at helping us narrow down what songs we wanted, and offered great suggestions based on our music taste when we needed help. We had guests of all age groups comment on how much fun they had dancing because the music was perfect. I would highly recommend Mike and the crew at Evolved Entertainment for your wedding, you will not be disappointed!
