wow, these guys are really som...

wow, these guys are really something else, I am not a client I am another dj. I want to stress that I am not a competitor with this company as we do not service anywhere close to the same locations. these guys found me online and asked me to cover an event since they had overbooked themselves and had nobody else to call. not only are they extremely rude, especially laura, but they are extremely unorganized. and the prices they charge are ridiculus, $200 for a two hour birthday party for a 13 year old kid. there equipment is old and outdated, they do not offer refunds if you are not satisfied, just terrible, I sincerely feel for anyone that is unfortunate enough to book these guys, and as to the previous comments about the better business bureu it is true, larrys response was an attempt to misdirect that, see for yourselves, dont get taken, there are plenty of better companies with much better rates and better equipment, etc. you should expect to book a 4 hr party for around $175 and never pay more than 6-700 for a basic reception, 8-1000 with lights etc. these guys will take you for a ride. take it from a 10 year pro stay away!!!!

Mr. John Saunders was employed by Thompson Entertainment as a Disc Jockey. Since we do not require a "non-compete agreement" we permitted John to operate his own self-employment operation known as Digital Sound Pro's. He performed and completed several events for us while employed by Thompson Entertainment. Unfortunately we had to release John after he encountered vehicle problems while enroute to an event on our behalf. We have and never will "bail on an event". John was retained with plenty of notice and his vehicle became disabled which may have been able to be avoided with proper preventive vehicle maintenance. When he contacted our office manager (from his disabled vehicle) he reported "he was unable to perform because he was unsure what happened to his vehicle but that he would need to take it to the shop". He was asked by our office manager if he had a backup vehicle and he reported "No I don't". Based upon his response, rather than leaving the client without a DJ at all our office manager dispatched another DJ (who was on stand by in the event of such situations). Due to our quick response, the backup DJ was able to setup and begin the performance at the start time as stated by the client. John later called and reached our voicemail stating "he had a friend coming to help him and let them use his (friend) vehicle to go to the event". His friend arrived and John proceeded to the event to find our backup DJ performing and was disturbed by this. The fact is that Thompson Entertainment has a responsibility and obligation to our clients to make sure they get what they pay for and backup DJ's are always available in the event of the unexpected (such as above). Instead of understanding our commitment to our clients, John continues to be furious over the fact he simply "did not work" and refuses to understand as an operations manager or owner our (my and my office manager) job was to make sure our client had a DJ regardless of what was happening with our employees. We wish John the best of luck in all his future endeavors and would like to share that dependability in our business is a way of life and very important. Thank you for your understanding and we appreciate your continued business. Thompson Entertainment continues to perform over 150 events annually while providing superior entertainment services since 1995.

Very friendly and professional.

I hired Thompson Entertainment for my daughter's graduation party. They were very professional and always available for any assistance in my planning.The online services were efficient and convenient.Thank you so much Larry and Lora for helping make my daughter's day one she will never forget!! I liked the fact that the lights,fog and bubbles were part of the package.Those special effects were a big hit.I do appreciate the time included for set up and tear down.

Sweet 16 party

I looked all around on internet for a dj who would provide all ideas my daughter wanted. Thompson Entertainment had everything!!! Let her pick her music and requests, allowed her friends too request also online, They had an amazing light show, bubbles, fog, confetti ,it was like being in a club. They also provided karoke for everyone, props to get even the shyest kids involved. Adults an kids of all ages were up having a great time. My daughter enjoyed every minute of it, they made it a special night for her and her friends. Everyone there wanted their information so if they ever needed a dj they could contact them. I will gladly invite them to dj at my next event. Money very well spent. They also keep in conntact with you for every detail, very prompt and professional. Couldnt ask for a better dj...

Great!!!

Thompson Entertainment provided us with great DJ service for a great price. They were able to cater to our wants and needs and make our wedding reception the way we wanted it. Superior customer service and great interaction with the guests. Thank you and I will recommend Thompson Entertainment for anyone needing a DJ.

Other DJ's I had spoke with were more expensive and didn't have half the services you provide

I was worried. My daughter and her friends are shy and timid but music lovers. You had everyone of them up and dancing and singing, from 5 year olds to teens and adults. My daughter and our family were amazed by how perfect everything you did was. The smoke/fog, bubbles, lights, confetti, and music was exactly as she had dreamed. Everyone at the party was so very impressed and entertained. I will highly recommend you for any type party, you made hers the best.

Wedding DJ

Absolutely ruined our reception!!! Not only were they late to set up which caused my mother in law to be late to the church, but they also weren't prepared. I hired them b/c he said that he could provide sound in two locations, indoor and outdoor patio. Nope, he had to go buy extra cord for it and then complained to us about it. He was also getting dressed in the bathroom 20 minutes after our reception started! What! He forgot to do my Dad's speech, played inappropriate songs, didn't play requested songs, and didn't follow any of the written requests provided before the wedding. He was absolutely rude to me when we tried to address him about these concerns and never even apologized. Worst DJ ever! Look him up on Better Business Bureau to find more sad reviews

It was an honor for us to have worked with Sarah & David! This claim was simply an attempt to receive free services by requesting a refund that was denied. Sarah even referred a friend after her wedding who booked us and was very satisfied.
