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.

We understand that we can’t do every single event… Even if we would like to! Timing, budget constraints, or simply not being the right fit… These are important factors, and we don’t take our craft lightly. It’s gratifying that even though we weren’t able to work with you, you felt it important to leave a review based on our customer, service and professionalism… That means a lot to us! Thank you so so much.

Hey Everyone, I wanted to take a minute to thank SKA Entertainment for a job well done. We recently had a 60th birthday celebration and SKA Entertainment made the party a success. From the beginning of taking the time to explore what package to use, To viewing the rental space, to the execution of the event everything was flawless. Shannon was personable, professional, Kind, caring and all Around amazing. SKA Entertainment brought such a fun positive vibe to the party it made everyone feel comfortable ready to dance and sing. All of our guests Had the time of their lives and had so much fun. Shannon went above and beyond to personalize the event and make the birthday party special. He made an amazing slide show, then asked the questions of how has the birthday star impacted all of our lives. This created the most intimate birthday experience. I would highly recommend this DJ and will only use them for any other future Entertainment events. Sincerely, Karen Jeffery-Wheeler

Dj Sofa King was a pleasure to work with. He was extremely responsive and professional in handling all questions and concerns. He truly wanted our event to be the best it could be and did everything in his power to make it awesome. He was available in the weeks prior to our New Years Event to come and scout out our location and test equipment at no extra cost which was very helpful. The party itself was a great time. The music choices and the flow of it all were outstanding and the karaoke is always an added benefit! DJ Sofa King comes as advertised and we would recommend him to anyone looking for an event DJ. Thank You!!!

I started playing when I was 16 working at my High School radio station those were awesome times. We stay current on our library, we are innovative in our DJ work. You will be more than pleased that you chose us for any event large or small.
