Best wedding DJ!

Chris from Vegas Entertainment was so helpful and wonderful to work with from the moment we booked with him. He was quick to respond to all of our emails, and was flexible with us as we made several timeline adjustments leading up to the big day. Our DJ, Josue, was incredible, and the variety of music he played during our reception and the dance portion of the night was such a perfect mix! Our guests continue to tell us that they had never seen such a lively dance floor at a wedding, and everyone was having such a great time out on the dance floor all throughout the night! We had the best time, and we highly recommend booking Vegas Entertainment for your wedding!!

Amazing DJ

We used Vegas Entertainment for our wedding and our DJ Tyson was phenomenal. Everyone was dancing all night. We received messages from almost every single guest expressing how much fun they had on the dance floor. Would 100% recommend

WOW! Amazing DJ service

All I can say is WOW!!! Vegas Entertainment (and our DJ, Alex, specifically) had our party going all night long. I have been to a lot of weddings and no one has been able to read the crowd like they did. We had a bit of a lull since my husband and I wanted some EDM and they knew that it wasn't landing with the crowd and they pivoted so seamlessly it brought the crowd right back to the floor (Always trust the professionals!) Our floor was full until we got kicked out of the venue which was our end goal! We also added on a photobooth and lighting package, and we received so many compliments on the photobooth! Plus, it was fun to change the lighting look from dinner to party time! Chris was so pleasant and lovely to deal with for all admin and planning leading up to the wedding, and they were by far one of the best vendors I hired. I would highly recommend them due to their professionalism, skill level, friendliness, and service offering. 20/10!!

Incredible

We got married on July 20, 2024 and our day wouldn't have been the same without Vegas Entertainment and the incredible professionalism they delivered. From the start, the outstanding communication made us feel comfortable and confident in the service we would be receiving. Our DJ was Devon and we would recommend him to anyone that wants to have a great time and have peace of mind with the music on their special day! Thank you to Vegas Entertainment for making our day unforgettable!

Couldn't be better.

Right from our first contact with Chris, everything was so easy and enjoyable working with Vegas Entertainment. Excellent communication, and willingness to chat as many times as we needed to make sure we all had the same vision for our night. Ryan, our DJ, was absolutely fantastic. He managed to keep a balance with a very diverse crowd and kept the dancefloor alive all night! He knew when to pick things up, and when we needed to slow it down for a little break. We had an amazing time and would highly recommend Vegas Entertainment to anyone that asks!

5 Star Service - Highly Recommend

Chris & his team are great! Communication with Chris from day one was easy & quick. All of our questions were addressed quickly & thoroughly. The booking process, along with noting all of our special requests, was hassle-free & easy to continually update as we made decisions. Vegas Entertainment was hired to DJ our wedding day from start to finish (Ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, and everything in between), and they did not disappoint. The music for the whole day was queued & timed perfectly, allowing us to have a stress-free day. Our DJ for the day, Alex, was friendly & accommodating. Our crowd was a tough one, but Alex didn’t let that stop him from doing an amazing job. He kept the music flowing and played everything that we had requested. Our guests thoroughly enjoyed the photo booth & props, and we highly suggest adding the print option. The take-home photos were a great keepsake for guests & getting a digital copy of all the photos at the end of our event was icing on the cake. Highly recommend Vegas Entertainment, and would hire them back in a heartbeat for any future events we may need entertainment for.

Excellent - would recommend!

We had DJ Joel for both the ceremony and reception - he was great with song requests and keeping people on the dance floor. The team had the BEST photobooth props and it was so easy to use (text/email pics the night of, then all available to download yourself after the wedding).
Also, we went with the cold sparklers and some up lights, definitely made a difference. Our entire package was very reasonably priced. Would highly recommend!

Wedding Dj

Everything about these guys were amazing. From the easy to use booking and communication to the DJ on the night of the wedding (Tyson) was amazing.
Tyson was able to play all the music and had everyone up and dancing. The smiles I saw on everyone’s face was worth everything. I would highly encourage everything to use these guys!

Great wedding, great music!

We couldn’t be happier with the service provided by Vegas Entertainment. Leading up to our wedding they were very responsive and helpful in preparing for the big day. The DJ was very skilled, organized and very fun to work with. They had a great set up and the Photo Booth was a big hit. We would highly recommend Vegas Entertainment for your wedding or any event where you want to bump the beats.

Christopher  Minor
Christopher Minor
Owner / DJ

Christopher Minor was born in Los Angeles, California and became a staple of the Southern California rave scene at the age of 17. In his late 20's he moved to Las Vegas where he spent 5 years Djing raves and clubs on the Las Vegas strip!

In the mid-2000's his journey then took him to Canada where he once again immersed himself in the rave scene. Up to this point, he had not once DJ'ed a wedding.

In 2007 he was asked by a girlfriend to Dj her friend's wedding. With no previous experience Chris dove into online playlists, forums, YouTube and anything else he could, to see how a wedding was done. Unfortunatly it wasn't enough. While not a complete trainwreck he understood that his skills were seriously lacking in this department so he joined a mobile DJ company and began doing nothing but weddings!

Chris quickly realized that there was no structure, no training, no protocols, and no best practices within this industry. All that was available was what DJs were willing to pass on to other DJs and no two DJs ever did anything the same way. This is where he got the idea to create a DJ training program, and it worked! Within a few months the revolving door of DJs within the company he worked at stopped. The quality became consistant, the reviews were pouring in and the company became known as the best DJ company in the city. Thus, the "Wedding DJ Handbook" was born.

With great power though, comes great responsibility and the company eventually began engaging in practices and moving in a direction that went against Chris's morals and ethics. No longer convinced that the company could provide the services they were promising clients, he did what most people in that situation would do; he created his own company, a different kind of DJ company.

Vegas Entertainment was built from the ground up based on a foundation of transparency, honesty, and integrity. Within the first year the company reached levels most companies don't see until well into their 5th or 6th year of business. It didn't take long for Chris to realize that it wasn't the programs or processes he had created that made clients and industry professionals want to work with him, it was his passion to the art, the culture and the industry.

Today Vegas Entertainment remains a small business focused on the 3 cores that it was originally founded. Chris insists on only doing a handful of shows a night to ensure quality, attention to detail, and a personal touch is given to each and every client and their event. To date he has not lost a single DJ that joined him when he started and he continues to DJ events personally without charging a single cent extra to do so!

Chris is also an outspoken activist within the industry advocating for DJs to get proper training and experience before attempting to DJ a wedding on their own and to stop the practice of outsourcing events to other DJ companies. Using weddings as training, or overbooking events then getting other companies to cover them are all too common practices within the industry that need to stop. Chris blogs on the website and facebook about all manners of Djing within the wedding industry not just to educate, but to raise the standards of the wedding industry too!
