UPLIGHTS
What is Uplighting? Uplighting is a series of lighting fixtures, inconspicuously place on the floor throughout the room that project decorative beams of light from the floor onto the walls and ceiling. Uplighting can turn a boring room with plain walls into a unique and colorful venue, in almost any color! Essen Entertainment uses state of the art WIRELESS LED lighting that never gets hot.

Highly recommend DJ Rick!
We hired Essen Entertainment for our wedding day and couldn't have been happier with our choice. DJ Rick was fantastic to work with from start to finish—he was easy to communicate with during the planning process and really understood what we wanted for our big day. On the night of the wedding, Rick did an excellent job reading the room and keeping our guests engaged on the dance floor all evening long. He played the perfect mix of songs that had everyone celebrating, from our older relatives to our youngest friends. We highly recommend Essen Entertainment to any couple looking for a DJ who cares about making their wedding unforgettable.

Great Energy and Very Professional
We hired Essen Entertainment for our wedding and they absolutely nailed it. From our first conversation, the team was straightforward about what they could do and guided us through the whole process in a way that felt supportive rather than pushy. On the day of our wedding, they did way more than just spin tracks—they read the room, kept the energy up, and made sure everything stayed on schedule so we could actually enjoy our celebration. The DJ played exactly what we wanted and had our guests dancing the entire night. There were zero problems and the whole experience felt smooth from start to finish. We'd hire them again in a heartbeat.

10/10 Would Recommend!
Working with Essen Entertainment was a game-changer for our wedding day. Ben, our DJ, was responsive throughout the planning process and never hesitated to give us honest feedback when we needed it. On the day of, his setup and teardown was so fast, and since we didn't have a coordinator, he took charge of keeping everything on schedule—he followed our timeline perfectly and made sure each part of the reception flowed seamlessly. His polished approach and attention to detail made the whole evening feel effortless, and our guests couldn't stop talking about how great the music and energy were. We felt respected and heard from start to finish, and Ben's professionalism took so much stress off our shoulders. We'd absolutely recommend Essen Entertainment to any couple looking for a DJ who truly cares about making their day special. Thank you again Ben!

JJ Essen
We had a great experience with JJ Essen for our wedding entertainment. We had Brian as our DJ and he was a fan favorite for sure! Kept the dance floor full all night. We also booked the Photo Booth and my guests loved it! Would definitely recommend!

July 20, 2026 Wedding
JJ exceeded his duties as a DJ multiple times throughout our wedding planning process. From the first phone call to the very last dance, he blew past our expectations over and over again. We learned early on that the secret to a fun wedding is to have fun as a bride and groom, and JJ made sure we were having fun. He gave us advice for our music selections, helped coordinate our bizarre dance floor ideas, and simply checked in with us throughout the day to make sure we stayed cool and kept the nerves down. We hope to see him again at the weddings of our friends in the coming years.
