"Oh my goodness! Booking DJ Shyne was one of the best wedding decisions that we made! This review is a bit long, but if you're having any doubts, don't. Book ECF now! DJ Shyne was so incredibly helpful when planning. He had a precise itinerary and walked us through each part of the wedding. DJ Shyne is truly someone who listens to you and will do whatever it takes to make sure that the bride and groom have an amazing night. He did a beautiful job with our ceremony music, such a great job, that I currently can't listen to the songs played without sobbing. Our ceremony was outside and he was able to mic us up so that everyone could hear our ceremony. The cocktail hour music went off without a hitch and the reception was incredible. The dance floor was bumping the entire night. There was one point where my husband and I left to take night photos and I don't think anyone even noticed we were missing because the dance floor was so packed! We also booked the photo booth and it was a BIG hit! At the end of the night, my husband and I wanted to do a last dance without anyone in the room. This was a last minute decision and DJ Shyne made a few suggestions so that this would go smoothly. It was absolutely perfect! We've been married for about a month now and people are still talking about DJ Shyne! We are so grateful for ECF Entertainment! Thank you for making our wedding so incredible!"

"DJ Shyne DJ’d our wedding just two years ago and we still talk about how amazing he was. We were likely his nightmare client, giving little to no direction, and he absolutely nailed it. He played the perfect blend of classic throw backs and songs of the moment. It was the best party ever. I cannot speak highly enough about DJ Shyne and ECF. Lovely to work with and made the day (and party) what it was… amazing :) there was truly never a dull moment … take us back!"

"Everyone loved Mike and the music he played. He was receptive to the needs of the guests and was flexible with requests. He put me at ease when we had our meeting. He was able to be flexible with adding on a ceremony as well. He worked well with the coordinator at the venue. All in all, he made our night so much fun."

"Where to even start with ECF... We were supposed to get married last August 2020 but the pandemic caused us to delay our wedding to September 2021. These guys were so helpful throughout the whole process! DJ Boogz (Josh) was also so great to work with! He is super professional and uber personable to talk to and get to know, and made the best recommendations for a seamless wedding! He was also super helpful when it came to playing for custom songs and ethnic songs that you're not necessarily going to find on Spotify or itunes. AND PARTY OMG. One of the most important things for us was to make sure that guests were always dancing and having fun and OUR WEDDING WAS LIT. DJ Boogz is the best and certainly had everyone dancing the WHOLE NIGHT!! With the professional advising, music, photobooth, and lighting, DJ Boogz totally brought his A-game and all of our guests had such a great time! 15/10 would book again."

"When the pandemic changed our wedding plans, we decided to do a minimony in my parents backyard in 2020, which was lovely, but the thing we were missing the most was the music and dancing! So, when it came time for wedding celebrations part 2 this year, the dancefloor was a high priority, and Jeff/DJ SHYNE did not disappoint! Book him now, you will not regret it! We knew from our initial meeting with Jeff that we needed him on our team. He was so professional and knowledgeable from that very first meeting, helped guide us through multiple postponements, while keeping the hope alive, and anticipated every detail. Finally we got to see him do what he does best, keep that dancefloor lit the entire night! The execution was flawless! We felt like he was our own personal hype man! He truly went above and beyond throughout this entire process. Thank you Jeff/DJ SHYNE for throwing us the most amazing dance party with all our favorite hits at our wedding celebration! It was even better than we had imagined!"

"Get yourself a DJ who just gets you. Louder for those in the back: get yourself a DJ who just GETS you!!!! I first met DJ Shyne (Jeff) and his team at a bridal expo in Boston two years ago. I was instantly enamored with their zest for life the ability to capture the audiences attention, and their attention to detail. These guys got an entire basement floor of brides and their families dancing all around hyped up for a bridal expo, and I instantly knew that was exactly what I wanted for my wedding. Unfortunately, we had to postpone our wedding due to COVID-19, but throughout that time Jeff periodically reached out to see how we were handling things while also able to get a glimpse of our lifestyle and who we were as people by following our social medias. Because of that, Jeff and his team were able to accurately capture us as a couple for our wedding day. My biggest request was to have every guest in attendance on the dance floor enjoying themselves, and DJ Shyne ensured that! All night long (and still to this day) I had guests coming up to me raving about our entertainment the night of the wedding. Per request, the evening started off with all the classic songs that each guest knew, and by the end of the night the music switched to please a younger crowd (we were dancing to TikTok dances on the dance floor by this time in the night!). I won a contest at the bridal expo to which we were gifted the Oh!Snap photo booth free for a few hours if we booked a service from E.C.F Entertainment (this was a no brainer!). Our guests loved the ability to let loose and have fun in the photo booth, and it made for a great (and entertaining) guest book! DJ Shyne was able to really capture our guest's attention all night long- and truly has a gift by being able to read the crowd and their response to the music to keep them dancing all night long. Newly engaged couples- my congratulations to you, and I CANNOT recommend E.C.F Entertainment enough for your wedding needs to make sure you truly have the best day possible!!"

"I wanted our wedding to be the best party ever for our guests (and myself), so having a good DJ was so important to me. I am the type of person that needs to research everything before making a decision, so I looked into so many DJs, but no one could compare to ECF and their energy. Before we even booked, Jeff/DJ Shyne was so amazing to work with. He made everything SO easy throughout the entire process which was a breathe of fresh air compared to some of the other vendors I dealt with. Our venue was a little atypical - entailing a chairlift ride to our summit ceremony, but Jeff made it work with no problem. Any and all of my concerns were taken care of with ease. When our wedding day came, Jeff continued to exceed our expectations. He was so attentive throughout the day and gave us the party I was dreaming of. So many people have asked us for Jeff's info since the wedding and complimented how well he captured all age groups on the dance floor. THANK YOU JEFF!!!"

"We hired DJ Shyne and ECF entertainment for our wedding and we were beyond happy and grateful for the entire experience. We added up lighting for the ceremony and hired a violinist through ECT Entertainment as well. Jacob was our violist during the ceremony and cocktail hour and it was such a nice touch for our guests and to add that extra special touch to our night. We first heard about DJ Syne and ECT through my brother after he attended a wedding where DJ Shyne MC’d the event…over 5 years ago and my brother still hasn’t stopped talking about how great Jeff was! When my now husband and I first got engaged, we knew we had to reach out to Jeff and ECF Entertainment to see if they was available for our date, luckily Jeff was and he did not disappoint!! It wasn’t just the night of, with the amazing music and keeping the dance floor jumpin, it was all the preparation, professionalism and thought that went into the planning process all the way though to make sure we had the best night possible. We never had to worry because DJ Shyne was so well prepared and gave us piece of mind throughout the planning process. DJ Shyne helped us pick the right music for our night and even edited a song for our so that it was exactly how we wanted it for one of our dances! We had to change our date 3 times and Jeff was so responsive and flexible in working with us to pick a new date. The night of the ceremony, Jeff did such a great job, keeping us on task and helping to keep the party going. We received so many compliments about how great the DJ and the up lighting looked. DJ Shyne also worked so well with out other vendors including venue, videographer and photographer. We really can’t say enough about DJ Shyne and ECT Entertainment and we are SO happy we found them!"

"We were dreading the DJ selection process for our wedding but after talking with DJ Shyne (Jeff) the choice was clear. He laid out a clear plan of what he could offer and very clearly understood what we were looking for. Planning and organizing was extremely well thought out and covered every detail imaginable. Jeff was always responsive, energetic, and friendly through the planning. We went back and forth on whether or not to add a live trio for the ceremony, which we ended up doing. Jeff had very insightful tips as we came to that conclusion and helped us choose songs which would translate well to the instruments. When the wedding day itself came, everything ran smoothly and exactly how we had planned it with him. Our guests loved his track selection and he moved flawlessly from song to song. We would recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ or live music for their wedding!"

"DJ Manolo was AWESOME! We told him we wanted to have the party of the century and that's exactly what he delivered. The dance floor was packed ALL NIGHT and our friends are still talking about how great the DJ was and how much fun they had. If we could give DJ Manolo ten stars, we would have!"

"Our wedding was June 12, 2021. We had the best day ever. Our DJ, was DJ Manolo, he literally was amazing, more than we could have asked for. All of our guests kept complimenting us on him, saying how amazing he was. The event planner at our venue even asked me for his information and plans on recommending him to couples for future weddings. DJ Manolo kept the party going, and was so interactive with everyone. He had told us in our first meeting that he would have people that don't normally dance out on the dance floor, and he was 100% right on that statement. We will definitely be recommending and be booking him for future events."

"There are not enough words to express our gratitude for ECF entertainment, specifically DJ Shyne (Jeff)! From the moment we had our first phone call we knew we would be in great hands. He made the process not only seamless but exciting! He guided us through everything we needed to accomplish and was an incredible resource for us even outside of just the music. Jeff quickly became a friend and is without a doubt a true talent! There are not enough stars to rate the experience in working with ECF entertainment. Our wedding day was truly unforgettable and our guests continue to rave about the engaging, fun-loving and amazing night we had thanks to DJ Shyne!!"

"ECF & DJ Shyne (Jeff) - Absolutely incredible. Everyone is still ranting and raving about Jeff and the music. All around impeccable. We are on a high and cannot say more positive things and everyone (I mean EVERYONE of our guests) agrees. I mean it when I say that Jeff really rocked it. We are absolutely stoked we chose ECF Entertainment for our wedding reception. It couldn't have gone smoother or went better. I knew we had a solid dancing guest list but I could not have imagined how packed the dance floor would be from start to finish. It's really a testament to how great they are at what they do. Amazing all around. "

"Choosing E.C.F Entertainment for our wedding was the best decision we could have made. From the outset, their professionalism, communication, and enthusiasm for our event cannot be understated. They were easily the most straightforward (and responsive) entertainment group I encountered during my search when it came to pricing and services offered. Jeff (DJ Shyne) made this process as easy as possible. Like so many other couples over the last year, our wedding was postponed due to COVID. We were worried about how this would affect the vibe and vision we had for our wedding. Turns out, we had absolutely nothing to worry about. E.C.F. could not have been more accommodating and was with us every step of the way. Unisa (DJ Manolo) was nothing short of spectacular. He was always available, offered great suggestions and feedback when we needed it, and made sure we had everything we asked for. He kept the night moving until it was time was time get the party started … and did he ever. We continue to hear from our guests about how great the music was. From start to finish, the dance floor was bumping the entire night. DJ Manolo simply crushed it. Looking back, I can’t imagine having any other DJ in the booth that night. If you want great partners and the best DJs for your wedding, E.C.F. Entertainment should be your first and last stop.'

"You know your DJ is the best when he gets every guest on the dance floor, including the grandparents!! DJ J-Boogz was absolutely phenomenal. From day one, his communication was so great, and he welcomed every question and request that we had. On the wedding day, he came in to the bridal salon to check in and go over details before the ceremony and reception, which meant a lot to me because it was so personal and made sure we knew what would be happening. He was ON POINT with the ceremony music/timing, and MCing the reception too. He got our guests going for sure! While our crowd was slightly lower than we had originally planned due to the pandemic, J-Boogz had every single person on the dance floor at one point, which was just amazing for us to see - everyone was there partying for us! Another really cool touch was that he put a placard on each guest table about song requests with a QR code so that they could request a song without having to go up and invade his sacred DJ bubble! We couldn't have asked for a better DJ for our wedding day. He kept everyone dancing right up until the end of the night. Thank you J Boogz and the entire ECF team!"

"ECF (more specifically DJ Shyne, aka Jeff) is the best of the best when it comes to all your DJ needs! Music was an incredibly important part of our event (from ceremony to the dance floor) and Jeff worked tirelessly and efficiently to make our specific vision into a reality on the day of. Jeff and his assistant were incredibly professional, knowledgeable and incredibly passionate about their craft. If you are looking for a company that will truly take everything entertainment related off your hands, listen to/value your feedback and give it their all, you need ECF for your wedding!"

"I could not be more pleased with my experience with E.C.F. I’ve had to connect with them on several occasions regarding changing plans for my wedding due to the Corona virus. Every time I called, all my questions were answered and met with empathy and flexibility. Their professionalism blew me and my family away; they have my business for life."

"DJ Mike Stripez was fantastic! Such a great mix of hits and sing alongs. He even brought us a beverage before our cocktail hour just to lend an extra set of hands. Such a team player and easy to communicate with throughout the entire process. We were really amazed by how he complimented the whole event. Thank you, DJ Mike!"

"There’s so many words to describe our experience with Dj Shyne. Due to corona and guest limitations we were nervous about what would come of our day. But Jeff was nothing but impeccable. From all our meetings, to Sunday morning phone calls. Jeff was more than a vendor he was an honorary Best man, a maid of honor, a true friend. He was slinging jams and got the party rocking all night. Dj Shyne isn’t just A DJ. He’s a friend, he’s a brother and he will not disappoint a single guest."

"DJ Mike of ECF Entertainment was awesome! We had a Covid-19 style wedding with under 50 guests on August 8, 2020 and DJ Mike made us feel like the room was packed! He remembered details from our Zoom meeting early on and the organized website really helped us easily choose our songs and stay on track!! He moved the party right along and was a pleasure to work with!!"

"I am truly blown away by E.C.F. Entertainment. Every person I worked with from Jeff, to DJ Mike, to Connor impressed me. Due to Coronavirus, we had to scale down our wedding and Jeff was fantastic at helping me plan and execute each step. I have never experienced such flawless service. Connor arrived early and is the literal definition of professional. He exceeded our expectations of what a videographer is and does. I didn't even have a video in hand and I was already raving about his work to Jeff. I highly recommend E.C.F. Entertainment because not only are they the best in regular life but they are the best in a pandemic."

"We had the privilege of working with DJ Manolo for our wedding last summer. He went above and beyond to help us prepare for the reception and to make sure both we and our guests were up dancing the entire night. We couldn't have asked for a kinder and more professional DJ. He has an awesome personality that was contagious on the dance floor. No one wanted to leave when the night ended! Thanks DJ Manolo for an unforgettable experience!"

"This review is FAR overdue! My husband and I were married in October 2018 and had the Soul Estate Band and DJ Manolo as the entertainment for our wedding. Music was one of THE most important choices we made for our day; we had even gotten engaged while in Chicago for a music festival. We have eclectic taste and Unisa, DJ Manolo, was EXTREMELY consultative with us on our choices. He guided us through which songs would be better for the band to play v the DJ as well as what types of music would make sense for different parts of the reception. We had some really specific choices and he was just awesome with everything, even down to the exact count during Love & Happiness to which I wanted the wedding party to walk out. We had a huge range of music genres included and the team from ECF knew exactly how to get (and KEEP) our guests on the dance floor for the whole night. Our wedding was almost two years ago and we still have engaged friends asking for us to refer them to ECF. We kept it classy and inclusive at the beginning of the night and by the end of our reception, our guests were chanting for one more song - our groomsmen had carried my husband and I up the staircase of our 2 level venue and Unisa turned to us and said, I know exactly what to play, put on Trap Queen, and my husband slid down the bannister of the gorgeous historic staircase to the dancefloor, full of our friends, and everyone going crazy for the last song of the night. You want an amazing party? You NEED to hire ECF. Can't wait to see you guys in 2021, we're both in a wedding that already hired you!"

Do to COVID-19, we had to postpone our event, and DJ Shyne was fast at responding, an excellent communicator, and put my mind at ease with his great attitude and personality! Highly recommend E.C.F., DJ Shyne and DJ Mike Stripez to any one looking!"

"We had our wedding in September and we chose Jeff from ECF Entertainment. Jeff was the first vendor that I booked. Choosing the right person for your music is a big decision , for us music was a huge aspect for us! We wanted someone to get everyone up and moving all throughout the night and keep it upbeat. Jeff is beyond thorough, he is a pro and thinks of everything. We have a Skype meeting first and from that I knew he was the right choice for us! I was so stressed picking the right music but he helped us through the whole process and even communicated throughout the day of our wedding for all our last minute changes , and he rolled with the day. My husband and I did a first look and after we finally met Jeff in person and meeting him in person was a breath of fresh air. He truly was amazing . In our opinion look not further, we loved Jeff and have no regrets. On top of it all he had great package deals that we took advantage of! We also helped us work with a company to have a band for our dinner portion which was great."

"We could not be happier with our experience with E.C.F. Entertainment! We had Unisa (DJ Manolo) at our wedding on 1/4/20 and he was AMAZING. From the first conversation we had with him we knew he was exactly what we were looking for. He is so personable and clearly loves what he does. People were on the dance floor all night, including some who usually sit out! Unisa was very responsive in the lead up to the wedding and helped make the planning process easy and stress-free for us. We had THE BEST night, and Unisa/E.C.F. Entertainment was a huge part of that!"
