WildSide Entertainment By DJ ZIK

DJ Zik was phenomenal. We had an outdoor ceremony and reception to follow and he emceed the whole way through. Came early set up did his thing and tear down. We had the lights, the fog machine, and the music bumpin. He was on top of it, helped us stay on track so the night would be smooth. I have friends and family who still say that was the most fun they had at a wedding!

We were excited to book Wildside Entertainment for our wedding reception after reading the great reviews, but unfortunately, we feel that our experience fell short of that. DJ Brian got the big events right (grand entrance, first dances, etc.) but missed many of the details. I would only recommend DJ Brian to couples who would rather just let the DJ do their thing. Now for more details. What went well: - He kept people dancing ALL NIGHT. We had open dancing from about 8 to midnight at our reception, and the dance floor was packed the entire time. - Before the wedding, we had a phone call with DJ Brian to go over the details. He mentioned that it’s usually around a 30 minute call, but he stayed on the phone with us for over an hour to go over everything in detail. However, as I’ve detailed below, many of the things we discussed never happened. - Reasonably priced What went poorly: - DJ Brian is not as organized as he says he is. Everything below is an example of that. - Incomplete setup. During the phone call and through email/text, we specified that we’d like him to bring the fog machine and disco ball AS SHOWN ON HIS WEBSITE, and he confirmed that he would. He didn’t set up either for the reception, which was a huge disappointment for a reception that was supposed to be Disco themed! He kept saying, “Just give me twenty minutes to set up,” but twenty minutes later, he would say the same thing. - Ignored our Must Play and Do Not PLay lists. Our Do Not Play list was literally one song, the YMCA, but it was played anyway. Maybe 2 or 3 (out of 10) Must Play songs were included. - Ignored our request to play lots of Disco music, and also didn’t set up the Disco ball. We LOVE disco music and told all of our guests that our reception would be mostly Disco, but I only remember hearing a handful of disco songs over the course of four hours. This was probably our biggest disappointment on a day that you can’t just do over again. - “Unlimited Requests”, as shown on his website, isn’t exactly true. He said we could send him a Spotify playlist of our pre-approved music to play at the reception. My husband and I spent a long time and compiled hours of our favorite dancing music that we know our family would love too. When we showed it to Brian, he said “If no one is dancing to your music, do I have your permission to use other music?” We said yes, thinking that he might add in a few extra songs, but at the reception, he really only incorporated a few of our songs and played mostly his music. So not only was the time making the Spotify playlist wasted, but we also didn’t hear many of the songs we were super excited to dance to. - Several times during the night, DJ Brian announced, “Here’s a special request from the bride and groom!” and would proceed to play some random song that we did NOT request. - Our last song of the night got messed up. He played our requested song right on time. Afterwards, the lights turned on and everyone began cleaning, but DJ Brian announced “Let me play one more last song for you while I clean up. Don’t worry, it’s on me!” and played a song we had never heard before. It was awkward, because he phrased it like he was doing us a favor, but we couldn’t say no when everyone was watching even though we really didn't want to dance. If we had to do it over again, I wouldn't book DJ Brian again. I would look for a DJ that doesn’t miss details like “Bring a disco ball” or “play disco music.”

Everything was so great ! On time arrival, fast responses, and the music was perfect for everything! They worked with the audience to get a feel for what was most popular and people were dancing the entire night!

DJ Eddie was AWESOME!!! He drove several hours to get to our venue, checked in with us (the bride and groom) often to make sure everything was just how we wanted, engaged with the crowd so well, and made our party so fun! He even checked in with us regularly to see if we needed a drink or needed anything throughout the night- he was so kind and we couldn’t have asked for a better DJ. DJ ZIK and Eddie called us for a check in before the wedding to make sure everything went smoothly the day of. They are a great price for their services and I would HIGHLY recommend WildSide Entertainment. If I sound extra, it’s because I really can’t overstate how great they were to work with and how good of a DJ Eddie is.

Brian is absolutely incredible! Super great guy to work with and is very friendly! If you are wanting to hire him for your event definitely go for it! He is incredibly responsive and very thorough, he will definitely make your event run very well and is a joy to work with.

Brian from Wildside Entertainment was our DJ for our wedding and he did an amazing job. From the ceremony to the reception, everything was exactly what we asked for and the dance floor was full the entire night! My husband even lost his phone at one point in the night and Brian went out of his way to make a special announcement to have everyone look for his phone. It was a funny moment and just showed the extra mile that Brian goes for his customers. Another great aspect was how easy communicating was. I didn’t feel like I was being harassed like with other services, he was easy to talk to and he always responded in a reasonable time. The services were affordable and I highly recommend using Brian for your DJ needs!

DJ Brian was amazing at my wedding! He kept the party going, was so sweet and fun and had a great personality overall. Highly recommend him for any event :)

Josh was great! He kept people on the dancefloor and honored my request as the night went on. The light set up was great and he coordinated the times with me. I'd definitely recommend Wildside entertainment! Great energy and passion! Hallmarks of great DJs! If ever I have another event in the area, they will be my go to

We could not have asked for a better DJ!! DJ Josh was not only responsive to all of our requests, but he also checked in with us throughout the night to make sure everything was running smoothly. Our guests had so much fun and had literally everyone in attendance dancing. We cannot thank WildSide Entertainment enough for being part of our day. We are so grateful!!

Brian & his team were amazing. Easy to communicate with & ready to roll with whatever I threw their way. Would definitely recommend to anyone!

I found Wildside Entertainment ONE WEEK before my wedding...but you would have thought that was the first thing I had booked after my engagement with how wonderful everything turned out! Brian was beyond attentive, he helped us out TREMENDOUSLY with everything, went over every detail with us, he really felt like we were chatting with a friend on our initial call honestly! Dj Doug was incredible, my guests seriously loved every song he played (I had so many people come up & tell me this was their kind of playlist😀) Doug was so helpful with everything, he was professional, courteous & just an overall great Dj! Wildside Entertainment is the company we hired (very last minute!!) I could not be happier with how everything worked out & I would recommend this company and Dj Doug without hesitation!

I just want to let you know that Doug did an amazing job for our DJ. He got everybody up dancing kept the flow going of songs and everything . I really appreciate it, you have a really good company and I will definitely recommend you !

Great DJ services, great communication. Brian was thorough and professional, and a ton of fun to work with! He had so many ideas through his years of experience. Thank you Brian!

Excellent DJ service! Easy to work with and top notch communication. Amazing service for a more than fair price. Working with both Brian and Josh couldn't have been easier. I highly recommend them if you need a DJ service for any reason.

We had DJ Josh for our wedding, and he killed it. Beautiful set up, amazing lighting, and just an overall really nice guy (as is the owner, DJ Brian.) Our guests had an amazing evening and he kept the party moving along wonderfully. My wedding was 2 nights ago, and my legs are STILL sore from dancing all night! I definitely recommend and hope to utilize this company in the future :)

Wow! Where do I begin?! I had Eddie as my DJ for my wedding and I couldn’t have asked for a better DJ. He was on time, friendly and kept things running smoothly. I was worried about setting up audio in a large back yard but he did it with no issues and it was perfect. I got several complaints on the music because the dance floor was pretty much full the whole night! Tons of people said it was the most fun they’ve ever had at a reception! Thank you so much for throwing the best party of my life!

DJ Zik (Brian) did a great job! From planning to execution, the entire process was seamless! He has a comprehensive questionnaire to get a feel for your ceremony and reception, he allows you to send him your playlists, and even takes the time to chat with you before the wedding day to make sure everything goes perfectly. Brian made sure to play songs from our playlist, but he also read the room and played songs that would get the most people on the dance floor. We had all ages at our wedding (from 3 to 70 years old) and they all were dancing at some point throughout the night! The sound quality was superb with no feedback or screeching, the dance floor lighting was fun, and the smoke machine created a really cool effect! Our experience with DJ Zik was amazing and we definitely recommend him for your wedding!!

DJ Zik was so attentive to our needs and made our night run so smoothly! He worked with us to customize the order of our reception and made sure that he had all of the music we requested! he even customized my father-daughter dance! the floor lighting was amazing as well! He kept our guests engaged the entire time and made out night amazing! HIGHLY recommend!

Both Brian and Eddie were excellent! Brian was our point of contact prior to the wedding and was very communicative and helped get everything prepped before our wedding day. Eddie was our DJ on the day of and made sure everything ran smoothly. He kept everyone dancing the whole night! Nothing but a great experience with the both of them. I was truly surprised at the quality of services for such an affordable price. Can’t recommend them enough!!!

DJ ZIK was everything we hoped for in hiring a DJ for my son’s wedding! He was easygoing and flexible and my son and daughter-in-law said they were so relaxed all evening because they felt confident he was on top of things. A few things came up that made them have to deviate from the planned schedule, and he took it all in stride so no one even noticed. Before very activity (speeches, cake cutting, etc) , he checked with the bride and groom to make sure they were ready. He made it a perfect evening for everyone!

Brian did a very good job with our wedding! He did a great job picking songs to play that got so many people out on the dance floor and everyone had a blast!

Working with DJ ZIK was an incredible experience. They were communicative, timely, and talented. Our dance floor was packed at our wedding and the DJ picked all the right songs!

Everything was so perfect! My ceremony went so smooth. He interacted so well with everyone, had everything in order and got the dance floor going all night! His music selection was perfect. I can't put into words how special he made our night! The fog machine, party lights uplighting and photo booth was a hit! ZIK the owner was literally awesome! All my short notice changes and question was answered and changed so fast! I am writting this on the way to my honeymoon to let everyone know! You will be amazed with their services provided! My wedding was the best thanks to these two! Thank you so much!

Everything went great. DJ Eddie did a wonderful job. He cared so much about getting everything right for us- we thought we were in good hands the whole time. He played all the songs the kids wanted and we had dancing the whole time which surprised us! He was great! 👍

Go with DJ Brian for your wedding!!! You will not be disappointed. He was awesome to work with and had my guests dancing all night! He really knows what he’s doing. Highly recommend!

DJ Zik was awesome for my wedding! He helped with both the ceremony and reception; everything went perfect. Also, the photo booth was a big hit. I highly recommend.

I’m so happy we had WildSide Entertainment By DJ ZIK for our wedding ceremony and reception. We have absolutely no complaints and we’re so impressed by how great the day went with them. Music selection and timing was perfect. Brian was a pleasure to coordinate with and was so knowledgeable and accommodating to all our requests. He knew exactly what songs to play to keep guests having fun on the dance floor until last song. I really can’t imagine how it could have went better.

Brian was fantastic. He knew how to read the crowd and keep them dancing. He always verified pronunciation of names, itinerary, wants of my husband and I. Priced much better than majority of DJ's.

DJ ZIK was AWESOME! My wedding may have been small but he made the entire guest get off their chair & dance. They also had a photo booth which was a giant hit for every age group. The music choice list was perfect & really hit the theme for our wedding. DJ ZIK also made the planning super easy despite being across the country!

Dj Zik was amazing and very personable, he worked with us on everything and was able to accommodate everything we wanted both out of our ceremony and reception. I would recommend him to everyone.

DJ Wally was very professional, courteous, and attentive to the needs of us and our guests. Kept the reception moving in a good time frame. Nothing negative to say. Would definitely use him again for other functions. Would definitely recommend using WildSide Entertainment!!!

Wildside Entertainment was great! Arrived early, did a great job DJing, making announcements throughout the night, and keeping my bride and I on schedule!

Brian from Wildside Entertainment could not have been better! We hosted my daughters wedding and could not have asked for a better DJ. He was able to mix in a variety of music to appease a wide range of musical tastes and kept the event on track throughout the night. Brian was easy to work with and had an amazing selection of not only music but lights and fog for our Halloween/ Fall themed event. Definitely recommend! 5 stars and two thumbs up!

DJ ZIK was wonderful to work with. He is extremely responsive, typically getting back to me within minutes for any questions and concerns. His pricing is more than fair, and he accommodated our every need for the wedding. He also provides a very thorough questionnaire that guarantees every song you want will play when you need it to! His interaction with guests was perfect for getting the dancing going, and even helped play music for the ceremony and worked as an MC for our event. I would absolutely recommend his services for any social gathering you wanting music for. Thanks again DJ ZIK! -Ian & Abbie

Did a great job! Great music. Great photo booth set-up! Kept us going all night! Nice guy on top of it all!

Brian was a great DJ for my wedding. He was able to adapt to a long list of songs that were spread out through my entire wedding and individualized by entry placement. Individuals that came down the aisle and each person that was in the wedding party had their own individual song it made The wedding confusing for any DJ but Brian was on top of it. he made the event fun he tried to get people involved which I think was probably the hardest part. people who don't want to get involved usually don't but he made sure they did and found a way to get them all on their feet and in the mood to have some fun. He also worked very very well with all the other people that were contracted such as the photographer the officiator and the catering staff. I would recommend Brian and wildside entertainment to anyone

DJ ZIK was the best. Very Professional, he kept the music energy up all night. Played the right variety of music for all ages. Friendly and prompt. My entire family would definitely hire him for our next event. He even helped jump my Husband's car when the battery died. He was a lifesaver that night.

Brian did a wonderful job with our wedding ceremony and reception. Has a welcoming personality. Was able to make very last minute changes all while working with the photographer so she know what was coming next. He even ran around with the smoke machine so the photographer got amazing first dance pictures. (Our wedding was outside.) He went above and beyond to make the night perfect. Would definitely use WildSide Entertainment again !

WildSide Entertainment was great to work with on a Surprise 60th Birthday Party for my wife. Brian did a great job with the music and lights but went beyond the music/lights to make sure all of the announcements were on made and adjusted the timing to fit the flow of the party. The guest made many comments about how nice Brian was and easy to make a song request and how quickly he fit the request into the play list. Brian has a great personality and easy to work with on a party. Thanks again, Chris

DJ ZIK did an amazing job! From the ceremony through the reception, everything flowed seamlessly and played music to help keep everyone dancing all night! Even when the day was delayed for time due to rain, he helped keep everyone entertained while they waited.

DJ ZIK was perfect for our wedding! He was very professional and tailored to our liking. He picked great songs for our special day and helped everything run smoothly! He went above and beyond and even made sure we had drinks for our welcome toast. We would book him again and recommend him to all our friends and family.

Brian is one of the hardest working DJs on the market right now. Would highly recommend for your big event!

DJ Zik was a wonderful asset to our wedding! He was great at keeping the guests entertained and he also really helped us stay on our timeline for the evening. He was so nice and the guests really loved him! They are still complimenting us on our DJ! Cannot express enough how wonderful of a job he did!!! 10/10 would recommend!!

DJ Zik did an amazing job at our wedding! He is very communicative and easy to work with and can customize the experience to your needs! Definitely recommend!

We loved Brian. He was always quick to respond. Great with any last minute changes without any issues. Always quick to listen to bride and groom. He definitely is willing to do whatever he needs to make the day special for you. We have not heard of him prior to booking. But we are super happy we took the leap of faith as I do not think he could have done any better! We were super happy !!!
