Crackerjack Entertainment

We used Crackerjack Entertainment for our wedding in September and couldn’t be happier with Brett’s DJing services. We had to plan our wedding long-​distance and Brett’s website along with his thorough interviewing and questionnaire really helped put us at ease. Our wedding was a blast, many of our friends are saying it was the most fun wedding they had ever been to, and Crackerjack Entertainment had a lot to do with that. The dance floor was full all night long and our guests were sad when the party was over. I highly recommend Crackerjack Entertainment if you want your wedding to be the best party of your life!

Brett was absolutely amazing, from start to finish! I found him because he was the DJ at my best friends wedding a few years back, and she had nothing but great things to say about him! I got in touch with him and was thrilled that he was available on my wedding date! To begin the process, he had us fill out a questionnaire. It was a bit lengthy but it was super fun to fill out! Brett has so much character and enthusiasm about his job, and it shows! The questionnaire had us laughing the whole time! Brett was also very helpful (and patient!) during the song choice selections. I must say, after planning my entire wedding, that picking the songs was the hardest part for me! Brett was very patient and understanding when I kept changing songs on him! Fast forward to the wedding, he set up early and was completely out of the way during the madness. He even videotaped our wedding details and photographed so many pictures that he passed along to us after the day! It was so awesome! He definitely went above and beyond his duties. During the wedding he had the dance floor going the whole time, it was a party for sure! He didn’t play any cheesey songs or make any cheesey comments on the mic. He made sure to find me and come up to make sure that everything was going as planned and on schedule. Brett was a pure joy to work with, absolutely hilarious man! I would 200% recommend him to DJ your wedding, we couldn’t of been happier with the results. Love you Brett!!!

Brett was unbelievable the whole way through — from planning to communication to the big day. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience — he delivered exactly what we were looking for and what we had talked about at our meetings. Brett is extremely professional, and very talented. It was great not having to worry about any of the music on the day of and the evening flowed fantastically! Many of our family and friends have told us it was one of the most fun weddings they’ve been to and I will give Brett a huge amount of that credit. Cannot go wrong with Brett!

Brett DJ’d my wedding almost exactly 7 years ago in May of 2008. He also just DJ’d my sister’s wedding this month. I can’t say enough good things about him. I can’t remember how we found about him but we hired him for our wedding at the Peabody Essex Museum even though I was living in Maryland at the time. We never met face to face and had all of our meetings by phone. He was super easy to work with and always professional.
My husband and I aren’t super duper into music, I just knew that I wanted a party that didn’t stop. I wanted everyone on the dance floor the whole night. I also knew I wanted more of a «club» feel than a traditional wedding/​bat mitzvah. So we told Brett none of the traditional «party» songs or dances like YMCA, twist and shout, etc. And then we just crossed our fingers and hoped that he listened to our requests.
And he did! Our party was rockin’ everyone danced the WHOLE night and it was seriously one of the best weddings I have ever been too. 7 years later our friends still talk about our wedding and how much fun it was, and I attribute a lot of that to Brett. Not only did he listen and abide by our requests, but when a wedding guest requested the YMCA he pulled my husband aside and asked if it was ok. My husband said no and he did NOT play it!
I really can’t say enough good things, I want to renew my vows just so we can have another party!

Brett is seriously the best DJ I have ever experienced. He is the only DJ we met with for our wedding because I knew from our first meeting that no one would be able to fulfill the services he provides. He is incredibly detail-​oriented and organized, and made everything so easy for me. Planning a wedding out of state is not always easy, but Brett’s system allows everything to flow smoothly and easily. He was so flexible with my schedule and we were able to conduct any business over the phone or email. I felt like he was a second wedding planner! The music was so important to me since dance is such a big part of my life and I wanted to be on the dance floor all night! Brett made sure that happened! Brett was able to feel out the crowd and played music that kept everyone of all ages out on the dance floor all night long! People are still talking about how much fun they had and that is thanks to Brett! He was such an important part of our wedding, I wouldn’t have wanted any other DJ. I am so grateful to him for making our wedding reception a blast! If Brett is available the day of your wedding he is a must book! I recommend Crackerjack Entertainment without reservation. Brett is a wonderful person to work with and beyond professional. Not hiring him would be a huge mistake!

Brett from Crackerjack Entertainment was amazing! Unlike many other DJ’s/bands/musicians that I inquired about, Brett was incredibly professional, organized, and highly attentive to detail. Finding a DJ who has all of these qualities that is ALSO highly talented is rare– Brett is truly one-​of-​a-​kind! Throughout the entire planning process, I was so impressed with how personable, helpful and accommodating he was to work with.
On the day of our wedding, Brett was instrumental in keeping us organized and on time. People commented on how the flow of the night was perfect, with no pauses or long lags– I largely attribute this to Brett’s careful attention to timing and transitions from one thing to the next. He’s also completely unobtrusive and does an amazing job of interacting with the crowd in a subtle and non-​distracting way.
We got comments from many of our friends that the music was awesome. Brett knew how important it was to us for people to have a good time, and the timing/​selection of the songs was perfect. A mix of young and old, the dance floor was high-​energy and PACKED all night! I would highly recommend Brett if you want your guests to have a blast and also want someone you can trust to make your night go smoothly.
Thank you SO much for everything Brett, you were an absolute pleasure to work with!

Brett is amazing! He played at our wedding recently, at the end of June, and we were so thrilled! From our first meeting we were hooked, and impressed. To say he is organized would be an understatement. Brett made us feel comfortable, excited, and confident to have him leading our party. His attention to details, compassionate personality, humor, «short» questionnaires, and thoroughness made working with him such a great experience. He was the first «vendor» we met with and boy did he set the bar high! All the way through to the end of the night, Brett was on top of the game. We could not imagine going through the day without his help. The amount of work he puts into one wedding makes you think yours is the only one happening. We could not wait to get the dancing started and he did not disappoint. Brett listened to our concerns, suggestions, and musical taste, and created a night we will never forget! I wish we had another big event coming up so we could hire him again! Anyone who chooses crackerjack entertainment is making the right choice and is sure to have one fun party! Brett, we thank you from the bottom of our worn out dancing shoes! :)

Brett Heeney and Crackerjack Entertainment were amazing! From the first meeting we had months before the wedding, to the day of our wedding we couldn’t have been happier. Brett kept the dance floor busy ALL night long. He used our list of songs to craft an excellent night of entertainment that had everyone dancing! Our guests are still talking about all the fun they had!

Brett is awesome! From the first time we spoke on the phone, I knew I had made the right choice. He is funny, easy-​going, and he knows how to get a party going — and keep it going, ALL night long!!! One of the most important things to me about my wedding was that I wanted everyone to have fun. I wanted people to leave saying that they had the best time. I knew that the music was probably the most important part in that, and Brett gave us all the best night ever! Not one single person was sitting in their seats the whole night!!! My great-​aunt, who is in her late 80’s danced the entire night!!! It was awesome!!! In every picture people are laughing and dancing and having such a great time. Everyone has told me that they have never been to such a fun wedding, which is the best compliment I could have gotten! And I personally danced my heart out. My only regret is that it’s over. I would live my wedding night over and over again if I could…
Brett, Chris and I cannot thank you enough for the incredibly fun and awesome party that you kept going all night long for us!!! It was such a blast– it was truly the best night of my entire life and you had so much to do with that. Thank you so much for everything. Throughout the entire process you were so wonderful and just so easy to work with. You made it so easy and so much fun to plan the music! We truly cannot thank you enough!

Hire Brett! Crackerjack Entertainment was the best decision we made for our wedding. From the first moment we reached out to him, Brett was easy to reach and maintained his professionalism throughout the whole process. We loved him from day one and continue to rave about him and his service months after our wedding. We had a number of meetings, where Brett was prepared, organized and ready to take on all of our ideas and also helped guide us in the right direction. He brought tons of experience to the table and listened to our individual needs. Brett caught on quickly to who we were and what we liked/​disliked. At the wedding, Brett kept our guest on the dance floor all night and maintained a flow that fit us perfectly. Throughout the night, we knew we made the best choice in hiring Crackerjack Entertainment. Our guest continue to rave about how awesome our DJ was! We highly recommend Brett, he’s great inside and out.

Let me begin by saying, my husband and I were initially looking at a different DJ service for our wedding. The company we first contacted responded that they were booked, but suggested Crackerjack as a reliable vendor. As it turns out, we were lucky that the original vendor was booked – we could not have been happier with how Brett at Crackerjack handled our wedding! From our very first meeting, my husband and I were impressed with Brett’s attention to detail and down-​to-​earth manner. He asked us some initial questions, and «warned» us about the extensive Crackerjack questionnaire that we’d need to fill out if we chose him as our DJ. He wasn’t lying; the questionnaire is long, but it’s one of the reasons that Brett is such a great DJ – he is thorough and pays attention! We were able to detail every request and explain its significance, and Brett made sure nothing was missed. The ceremony and reception were everything we hoped for. Not only were the songs exactly in line with our requests, but before the introductions, Brett had a pow-​wow with the wedding party to ensure he had the proper pronunciations of everyone’s names and the proper order of introduction (this may sound minor, but I think we have all been to weddings where this was clearly NOT done). Brett stuck to the planned schedule during the reception, made all of announcements as requested, and was professional and energetic. He played all of our «must plays» and kept our guests dancing all evening. He truly was a big part of making the day perfect. Everyone we spoke to raved about what a great job he did. Not a single complaint – outstanding! Thanks, Brett!

Cannot say enough good things about Brett. We were very impressed with his attention to detail to make sure that the wedding reception was seamless from start to finish. Brett is not just a great DJ, he is a great planner. He prepared a detailed reception itinerary to provide structure to a very chaotic day. Lastly, we would definitely recommend Brett is for folks who are planning weddings from afar. We live in Chicago and got married in Boston. Brett’s experience put us at ease during the planning process and the big day. Great guy, great value, and we definitely would recommend Brett for your big day.

Brett was a fantastic DJ. He was easy to work with, very thoughtful and thorough. He offered his suggestions and took ours as well. He was meticulous about peoples names, pronouncitations, relationships etc which made my stress level come way down!
Brett worked fantastically with the venue, was prepared for any problems that may occur and if they did I was not aware of them! He covered our ceremony and reception and was worth every penny. I would recommend him over and over to others in need of a DJ
