We loved having Stephen as our DJ at our wedding in April 2026. He was so easy to work with, and the day was seamless because of him. Our guests had so much fun with the music and dancing, and it is a day I will never forget. I was worried there might be awkward transitional moments, or awkward moments with the dancing but he did incredible with that! It was perfect.

ompany to schedule a meeting and discuss details two weeks before the wedding day. I also wasn't a fan of how the reception music worked out- I had a set list of songs I wanted played and despite approval to take some song requests, I missed hearing songs that I was really wanted played.

Stephen was an absolute dream hire for our wedding. During our phone call before making this decision, we got an immediate vibe that he was our man. He asked us what the vision was...
for the music and atmosphere, and assured us that he could deliver. His questionnaire asking us what we wanted played and when was so comprehensive that we were able to learn some things we hadn't even thought of.
From the moment he arrived, in a heavy rain, he set up quickly and began playing pop instrumentals and setting the perfect pre-ceremony vibe. He was on cue with all the needle drops we asked for and did an incredible job of keeping the energy high and the dance floor packed at our reception.

In the lead-up to the wedding, Stephen took the time for a pre-planning call where we went over every detail, ensuring that everything went smoothly on the day. His charisma and personality as the MC kept our guests engaged and entertained throughout the night. We couldn’t be more grateful for his professionalism and talent. He truly made our wedding day unforgettable

of Stephen Goff Entertainment! The company is solid, on time, great personalities, they know how to keep the party going! Perhaps just as importantly, they are well prepared in advance of our weddings with questionnaires and communication with the bride and groom. One of my kids receptions was completely different, she didn’t want a lot of dancing but games instead, between the games that the DJ orchestrated and the music with a few dances mixed in, it was one of the most memorable and special receptions. You will get what you want for your wedding with SGE at the helm of the entertainment. I could not be more pleased.

day. There were a few parts of the pre-ceremony and ceremony that I wasn’t sure what music I wanted and what he chose was perfect! I also asked him to do a pretty crazy musical playlist for our wedding entrance and he completed nailed my vision and it ended up being my favorite part of the whole wedding! The dance floor during our reception was so much fun and he played the best songs and took requests from our guests as well. He even let my stepdad have the mic to sing Sweet Caroline because of course we are from Boston and we had to make that happen! Overall it was just the best day and we are so happy Stephen was a part of it!

People were on the dance floor all night tearing it up - including our sweet flower girl and ring bearers.
Hugh played music for us from classics to newer music. I’ll never forget that at the end of the night when everyone was lining up for sparklers he played Rocky Top and our nanny busted out on the dance floor and was dancing all over the floor.

f without a hitch! Neither myself or (now) husband lived in the Knoxville area while we were planning our wedding so having vendors that knew the industry well was a MUST! He was the most helpful of our vendors with organizing the order of events for our ceremony. He called us the week before our wedding to make sure that he was providing everything we wanted from a music/MC standpoint. During the reception, he was constantly coordinating with our photographer and the venue coordinator to ensure that our reception was perfect and that we didn’t have anything to worry about and could simply enjoy our reception and we did thoroughly enjoy it largely because of Stephens DJ/MC services. He read the room incredibly well and ensured that the party was fun for all that attended!

ommunicated consistently with everything leading up to the wedding. He took time to get to know us and what we were looking for! I met most of my bridesmaids through singing, so we are a tough crowd to please in the music department. People kept asking me if Stephen and his band were out of Nashville, they sounded amazing! We had to switch locations at our venue last minute due to rain, and I didn’t know how they did it, but all the equipment was magically moved and reset in minutes. They helped make our day so special and beautiful, can’t recommend Stephen Goff Entertainment enough!
