Our expectations were not only met but exceeded. What we anticipated to be a simple karaoke event turned into a memorable and engaging experience, thanks to thoughtful touches of surprise and delight. The activity was very well received by our group, and the host did a fantastic job—arriving on time and keeping the energy high throughout. One suggestion for future events: when incorporating spontaneous surprises, especially involving senior leadership, it’s helpful to briefly check in with the group host to ensure alignment and maintain respect for any sensitivities or expectations. Overall, this was a 10/10 experience, and we would absolutely hire again.

Carla was terrific as a DJ and encouraging people to sing karaoke. She kept the party going an extra hour!!
Great experience! Arrived on time and was really pleasant and easy to set up. So flexible and fun . People who NEVER dance got up and danced and had a great time. Would HIGHLY recommend them. Will hire again for another event.
Shannon, Thank you from the bottom of me and my Wife’s heart for your dedication and spectacular MC performance on our wedding day. You went above and beyond to ensure that we had a wedding that was full of entertainment and laughter. You successfully worked with our other vendors and were very flexible with any schedule changes to our program. You came up with amazing ideas throughout the day, and even made wonderful suggestions to involve our family and friends in the program, thus creating wonderful memories for our photographers and videographers to capture. Without your guidance, the we wouldn’t know how the program would have played out, so again, we thank you very much for dedication, effort and support throughout the best day of our life!
I really appreciate Shannon's promptness and professionalism responding to my inquiry. It sounded like so much fun what his company offers but I cannot use his services at this time. I look forward to hiring his services in the near future.
They were very helpful on the phone and provided great details of other services we could use !
We so appreciate everything Shannon and Alberto did to make our special day amazing! We did not have a day of coordinator due to an illness and Shannon stepped up to help us run the night! Everything went perfectly and we couldn’t thank them enough! We told them how we wanted the night to go and they made it happen! Thank you to the SKA entertainment team! You guys are awesome!
Had an amazing time for our holiday party . Thanks to everyone that made it happen. We had an absolute blast . Would definitely book again.
DJ Domingo went above and beyond to create a happy, fun, and engaging experience! (Not an easy feat with half of my family not really up for dancing.) He got everyone out on the dance floor and everyone had such a wonderful time! And working with Shannon (who was unable to DJ on the day, and which he informed us of well before the big day) was so fluid and easy. He really helped guide the way for planning the progression of the music and fun little activities.
Worked with Shannon and Alberto for our wedding this past weekend. And 10/10 would recommend going with them as they were sooooo easy to work with throughout the entire planning process as well as day of. They're definitely seasoned DJs who know how to make your dreams come true (from announcements to maintaining timeline to music selection and sound quality). Plus they have planning tools for your event that really make the process seamless :)
SKA Entertainment was contacted last minute due to our previous DJ cancelling. DJ Shannon quickly reached out to assist with services for the wedding reception. We had 72 hours for him to get prepared and ready for the event. DJ Shannon arrived early to the event, even before someone could open the door. By the time the wedding party and guests arrived, the music was cranking. Great music all night and even took requests. DJ Shannon and SKA Entertainment saved the day! I would highly recommend him. Thank you again and again!
SKA made the party! They were proactive and extremely communicative which made for a low stress event. They truly want to make your event the best for you — and they certainly did for mine! Highly recommended!
These guys were Amazing! From months before to the day of our wedding, EVERYTHING about them are outstanding! My guest were talking about them all night! Thank you guys for making the night one we will never forget!
Shannon was such an excellent DJ, and we would absolutely recommend him to potential clients! Shannon was professional, timely, and intuitive – he communicated thoroughly, with helpful details how we should select the music for our wedding. He responded in a timely manner to our inquiries. He met with us in-person, along with his assistant, to get an understanding of our event: we reviewed our music tastes, the guests who would be in attendance, any traditions we wanted to observe, and laid out a general timeline of the event and his role. He was intuitive, even when we didn’t entirely know what we’d want for songs – his selection was on point.
My fiancee and I enjoyed talking with Shannon and appreciated the details especially around sensing the crowd, shifting up genres for the different demographic groups, etc. He has a lot of positive energy, great for any MC. Ultimately we ended up choosing a different DJ at a lower price point.
Did not end up hiring DJ Shannon but overall had a very positive impression of him. He was very responsive and went into great detail regarding his services, spending probably over an hour discussing details with us and answering questions. Very professional during the entire encounter. Pricing seems to be reasonable. We ended up hiring another vendor mainly because the other vendor already facilitated some services provided by our venue and thus had particularly more experience at our venue. Likely would have hired DJ Shannon otherwise.
He was awesome. Helpfull kept the party going. Helped out in other areas of the party was the best..Even entertained the guest while I got dress. Yess Shannon was the bomb .com would use him over n over again.
Great in every way! Domingo had put in a long day and made a considerable drive to our remote area, but still had ample energy to get our group up and participating. I had thought it would be difficult, both in terms of the small size and odd demographic of our group, but Domingo was very responsive about a playlist and infused life into what might otherwise have been a shy or lackluster group. Everyone loved the event, and they were very easy to work with as well!
Shannon Dj'd our company holiday party this year and he was incredibly professional and kept everyone dancing! I would recommend him for your next gathering.
It was a great time. Everyone got to sing what they wanted, and the integration with the live band worked great. See you next year!
