Wedding Reception•Reviewed on October 26, 2009•From Hagerstown, MD
Randy Latimer was our DJ/Emcee for our daughter's wedding. Because we had the ceremony/reception at the same location, he had to set-up a few hours before his duties began. He joined us for the day, collaborated with caterers/ photographers, and provided excellent service. He was professional and knew how to work the crowd. While not all of the songs we requested were played (we picked too many slow tunes), he read the crowd perfectly, provided the right songs to keep people dancing, and adjusted the musical agenda to get more people on the dance floor. Thanks Randy!! If I ever need a DJ again, Party-Up Entertainment will be the first business I call!!

Vince was fantastic from start to finish of the process. His website were very easy to use while covering all the details. He played everything we wanted, the choices that were left to his discretion were perfect. We had many guests tell us we had the best wedding they had ever attended. Some guests even were energized to dance at the dinner service due to his great selections for the dinner hour. He was able to fill in the gaps seamlessly. Our most musically finicky guests were extremely satisfied. He was a gentleman and a great mc, with excellent timing, and we would definitely recommend him for anyone looking for a dj.

Vincent Higdon turned out to be a charming and responsible entertainer both accomodating and inquiring about our musical taste.
He was particularly attentive to our request that the amplification be kept at a low pitch due to a good many of our "senior guests" being somewhat sensitive to "loudness"....What I liked particularly about him was his unobtrusive manner as he smoothly piped out the repertoire of music we requested. He certainly added to the enjoyment and fun of the evening.

Vince was AWESOME. He took care of all our requests, including the last minute ones that required extra equipment. He really read the crowd well also, and delivered top notch entertainment. He is really self-sufficient and we absolutely LOVED him...if I have an event at my new home in Miami, I will not hesitate to fly Vince down. He did a fabulous job at our city wedding, and I would vouch for him any day, any time.
Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on March 9, 2009•From Annapolis, MD
Vince did a great job. He is so experienced, he just sort of looked at who was in the room and knew right away what songs to play. We had only one request, "play something about friends or family" -- and he immediately came up with the right song. He also understood that most of us wanted to just stand and talk (we are NOT a young group), so he did not turn the amplifiers up too loud -- but I know he was ready to do so if we had wanted him to. I would HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend him. Just an overall good guy, and very professional.

Vincent was the DJ at my daughter's 16th birthday party. Having a bad experience with a DJ in the past, I was very nervous as to how it would go. He was wonderful. He sized up the kids' taste in music very quickly and had every one of my daughter's friends on the dance floor ALL evening. I heard the word "awesome" in reference to the party many times over the next several days. My daughter said the party was the best night of her life! He was very professional, punctual, tactful and knew exactly what the kids wanted to hear. Also, he drove about 60 miles to get there in Tropical Storm Hanna! I would definitely recommend him to any of my friends.
