We couldn't have asked for a better night and McGee Entertainment and Carlton are a huge part of making that so! Our guests never left the dance floor, and the vibe was always spot on. He also gave shoutouts to specific guests who requested things from the portal notes and it made it so fun and personal and everyone got really excited when they heard their name/song. I am so grateful for Carlton and McGee Entertainment and everyone had the best time at our wedding because of the care and effort they put in to make things so awesome!

Hello Kristyn,
Thank you for posting this review. I am the company owner and DJ Dametris w...
as the DJ/Emcee for your wedding ceremony and reception. It sounds like he didn’t play the songs on your playlist. He should have confirmed your must play songs during the final planning meeting. As for the timeline, your planner is responsible for the order of events and the DJ works with her to make sure the Reception flows smoothly. I’ll talk with DJ Dametris to find out what happened and let him know that you were not satisfied with his overall performance. As the owner, I apologize for the poor quality of service you received from McGee Entertainment. Thanks again for posting this review.

He seamlessly blended chill reggae with 90s R&B, classic rock, and line dances with a little bit of modern country thrown in for good measure. Everyone could find something they were comfortable dancing to. Milton interacted with guests exactly the right amount, making sure everyone stayed engaged. Highly recommend!

I sort of had the same experience that Nicole had in 2017 (two years later in 2019) with some differences.
Five stars for planning and communication with CARLTON.
At our first m...
eeting I felt a connection and knew he would be a blast. He came highly recommended by friends and was very professional and prepared. He also had great visuals for his planning process ready to show us.
2.5 or three stars for the actual wedding reception with MILTON.
I know my situation wasn't planned, as I believe there was a death in the family the week before which resulted in Carlton not being able to DJ my wedding. We got the call and I knew it wouldn't be the same. We were assigned his brother, Milton. He was extremely hard to get in contact with, having to resort to get our other vendors (photog, coordinator, reception venue, and Carlton himself) to try to get a hold of him. He "never got our calls and emails." Our final meeting to go over details never happened. And I knew to expect the worst. My first dance with my husband was about 35 seconds. The music cut out while we were still dancing and were awkwardly talked off the dance floor by Milton. Nothing we wanted to be announced was announced. The music was not as played and mixed as promised. He sang/talked over the music and weirded out me and my guests.
I so wish I could've had Carlton, because we had only ever heard great things. This really made me consider vetting future vendor's back ups before the contract is signed. I hate leaving three stars because I know it wasn't Carlton's fault but the contract was signed with, and the back up was coordinated by McGee Entertainment.
Response from McGee Entertainment & Events, Inc.
Hello Grace,
Thank you for posting this review. This was a difficult day for all parties ...
involved. We had a death in the family a couple days before the wedding and DJ Milton graciously stepped in for me and provided services under these difficult circumstances. This is the second time in the last 15 years that DJ Milton has covered for a DJ because of the death of a family member. The other time he covered for a DJ from our DJ Association. The other couple and family was very understanding, happy and gracious that DJ Milton showed up for their special day. All expectations were not met but the event still turned out to be successful and the Bride was happy to have a Professional back up DJ available for her wedding reception. Let me say this for all the Brides and vendors reading this. After 27 years of working in this industry I've realized one very important fact and that is a vendor can't guarantee they will be available for your event. You cannot remove all the risk from hiring a vendor. The way to reduce the risk is to hire a Professional DJ or DJ service with experience and a solid reputation of providing quality services. Ask if they have a back up plan in case of an emergency (act of God clause). Some will, some will not. The back up may or may not have the same emcee style, experience or skills as the original DJ you hired. As a paying customer you have the right to tell the DJ during the event to change his style to your preference (s). A Professional DJ will not have a problem with your request. Honestly, most of the time he/she will not be aware that there is a problem at all! Because we care about our Couples and care about the outcome of your event, I offered the Mother of the Bride a refunded. It was declined (I didn't have the Brides contact information because the event was booked through the Mom). In conclusion,
DJ Milton and I have different Emcee styles. If you don't like our style we are very flexible, willing and able to change up to meet your needs/preference. Nobody is perfect and mistakes happen all the time. However, the best businesses learn from the mistakes and come back better because of the experience.
Sincerely,
Carlton McGee

My Day-of-Coordinator recommended McGee Entertainment and gave glowing reviews. She was so right! My husband and I carefully curated a playlist of music that was special to us and ...
our friends and family. We worked with Carlton, who was happy to take our playlist and include each song at our wedding! He listened and made suggestions where he thought were necessary regarding timing and we appreciated each of them. He also was right on with reading the crowd and incorporating other related music that gave the night a great vibe. It also happened to be his birthday and he worked so hard to keep the the flow throughout the entire event--so we had to stop, thank him, and sing him happy birthday! I highly recommend Carlton for your wedding or next event.

We wish we could give Carlton 10 stars!! Even 2 weeks later we have had countless guests call and say it was the most fun they have ever had at a wedding. We had a huge dance floor...
, & he kept it packed with everyone dancing the entire reception! He lets you pick your own music, but we were happy that we left room for him to read the crowd to play music that would keep everyone up and having fun too. He got up and was helping people learn the line dances (even my grandparents were up learning them and dancing the entire time). Carlton also went above and beyond on our wedding day. I wanted to sing and play guitar to perform a song i wrote for my husband. He arranged mics and stands to make it possible. We also wanted music playing during our sparkler exit, & he put a speaker outside to make that possible as well. If you want your guests to have fun at your wedding McGee entertainment is a MUST! Thank you again Carlton :)

our ceremony music that I chose. We gave him a handful of “oldies” songs we’d wanted played during the beginning of our reception and he delivered. We asked him to mix it up after that and we were very pleased with his choices —all appropriate and memorable. He had us put our choices into an easy to use database before our wedding day which helped guide us in choosing specific songs for specific moments. We cannot say enough how pleased we are with this vendor. You will not be disappointed with this choice!

& Milton are both very professional and enthusiastic. Very quick to respond to emails and calls/texts which was so important to us during the planning process. Milton arrived with more than enough time to set up and make sure everything ran smoothly. He made every announcement with style and made sure the wedding party was announced correctly. He helped to keep the timeline on track, there was never a lull in between different activities and dancing. All of our music requests were met and Milton stuck to our "do not play" list even when a guest requested a song from it. He was able to keep guests on the dance floor throughout the night and chose music that went with the vibe of the guests. Everything was on point! Thank you so much McGee Entertainment!

We booked Carlton for our wedding DJ after having a few people refer us to him & we are so happy we booked him! Our wedding was at the Casa Marina & once everyone knew we'd booked ...
Carlton, they were all like "Oh, you're in good hands. You've got nothing to worry about." & that was honestly the absolute truth. Carlton is not only the nicest person, but he's got such a great & professional attitude, he kept the wedding flowing as it needed to, and he was fantastic at reading our guests and playing music to keep people dancing! We told him that we wanted a dance party reception. And we got it! We gave him some suggestions for songs we liked, but I'm glad he just uses that more so as a guide than a playlist because he picked out better ones that fit our crowd that night. We had so many guests tell us how much they were loving the music he was playing!! Everyone's feet were so sore the next day from dancing all night long :) And fyi, for anyone like us who wanted live music for the ceremony but a DJ for the remainder - even though he went on when the cocktail hour started, we still had him there for the ceremony time because he put mics on the officiant and groom so everyone could hear our ceremony. This is so vital to have someone there to amplify the ceremony so your guests can actually hear everything. We definitely plan on recommending Carlton McGee to all couples we know for their future weddings! :) - Carlina & Mike

Let me just start off by saying that I have heard a lot of good things about the company itself, but I was the unlucky one who didn't have a great experience. They were good at res...
ponding to emails quickly and my reception was really fun.
The not so good: I booked McGee over a year in advance of my wedding date and since I had been e-mailing and texting Carlton, I thought that's who my DJ was. I didn't realize until a month before my wedding that I was actually assigned to Dametris. He was very nice and looked great at the wedding.
The ugly: I was disappointed to find out that they wouldn't shorten my music for me, so I had my friend who edits and arranges music professionally do it for me. I e-mailed the files and put them on a USB drive in the exact order I wanted them played for the ceremony. The ceremony ended up being a complete disaster! First, he showed up after the music was supposed to start when he told me he would be there an hour early. The music was terrible...some songs wouldn't play and they played completely out of order...I didn't get to walk down the aisle to the song that I had been dreaming of and practicing to for over a year. He claimed the USB drive corrupted the files and had issues before he even got there. If he had told me that beforehand, there wouldn't have been an issue because I still had all of the music downloaded on my phone. They did give me a partial refund after I complained, although not as much as I was expecting. I probably wouldn't have been as annoyed had he not made so many excuses and simply said it was his fault and he messed up. I am still upset by the music, as it was so important to me and I can't even listen to the songs I had picked out anymore.
Response from McGee Entertainment & Events, Inc.
Hello,
Sorry you had a bad experience with DJ Dametris. He has learned from the mistakes ...
and will be better because of this experience. The major problem was Dametris didn't realize until he arrived at the venue that he had to set up in two different locations (the signed agreement was for one location). This snowballed into him not having enough time to preview/test your ceremony music to confirm it worked with his equipment. He made a mistake by not confirming the ceremony and reception were being held in two different locations and not testing the USB drive before he got to the venue. The DJ's name is listed on the agreement so there is no confusion about who the DJ will be the day of the wedding. The partial refund I issued was very fair. I didn't send a partial refund because you complained, I sent it because it was the right thing to do. In all honesty, mistakes and miscommunication by both parties resulted in the outcome of this event.

I felt like we hired the best DJ. Milton was so much fun! I didn't have too many set songs, so he helped suggest some and they were perfect. I loved hearing them at the appropri...
ate time during the wedding and reception. The tiny dance floor was packed all night long and he was great keeping the guests informed about upcoming events at the reception like the toast, cake cutting, etc. I would not have a party again without hiring McGee Entertainment!!! Thank you Milton!

Carlton was amazing all around! Everyone told me he was their favorite and now I know why! Communication and planning was very easy and enjoyable. At our meeting we really got a go...
od sense of his personality and his passion for what he does. On our wedding day he was professional but was still fun and even helped lead/teach a dance for everyone! He kept everything flowing smoothly and kept people dancing all night long! If I ever need a DJ, Carlton will be the one I call!

Carlton made our night AMAZING! First off, his ceremony setup was perfect on the beach and his timing was impeccable. His cocktail & reception sections were fantastic! He knows how...
to read the room and get everyone to dance . We had a good mix of young & not-so-young people and he got everyone up, including my FIL who does NOT dance! We had a noise complaint from the hotel next door but he didn't let that get in the way - he was ready to do whatever we needed to keep the party going! Our guests are still telling us how much fun they had and how great he was. I would highly recommend Carlton for not just your wedding, but any party or get-together where you need an amazing MC and DJ. Thank you Carlton - you made our night!

Milton was the DJ for our wedding and he was AMAZING. Admittedly, the music portion of our wedding was my favorite part about the entire wedding planning process, and Milton was so...
much fun to work with. He was incredibly professional throughout the process, and our initial introductory meeting really set the tone for what to expect leading up to the wedding. Let me first say that Milton is ALWAYS on time. You can count on him for this. He created a wedding website for us, and we were able to create a playlist, based on the music that we like. This is certainly not mandatory for individuals who would prefer for the DJ to choose the music. If you are one of those individuals who prefers to have the DJ choose the music, all you have to tell Milton is what genre or style of music you prefer, and he can take it and run with it. He is an incredible MC -it was so impressive, and he made the entire evening so much fun. He even came out on the dance floor with us, which was a huge crowd pleaser. I will be referring him to anyone I know who is looking for a DJ in the area. You will not be disappointed.

ome great additions,) and providing an awesome, fun atmosphere. Many guests said it was the most fun wedding they had been to and that they had never danced so hard - that was thanks to McGee Entertainment. Choose them - you WON'T be disappointed.
