Drop The Mic is the best non-cheesy modern wedding DJ service around. So what does that mean? We have all been to those weddings where the deejay plays the same old tunes.. We take a more modern approach to deejaying weddings. No inflatable props at your wedding, no cheesy jokes, no Chicken Dance guaranteed.

Willie was an absolute joy to work with throughout the process. He made sure we were fully prepared before the big day, and worked well with our hired string quartet to perfectly bring to life our wedding ceremony and reception. I cannot recommend Drop the Mic enough! More...

Wonderful service! Everyone had a great time thanks to Willie. He was able to get everyone to participate in the activities and dancing. Before the wedding he was very professional and helped to keep us track of deadlines. Willie provided a good mix of music so there was something for everyone. We had a wonderful time and would definitely recommend using Drop the Mic Entertainment. More...

Will was amazing! People were dancing all night long! Drop The Mic’s website is so easy to use. The online forms makes planning out the reception and music choices so organized and hassle-free. He answered all my questions in a timely manner. I’m so happy we went with Drop The Mic and Will for our wedding!! More...

Willie was recommended to us by our engagement photographer! He was 100% the right choice for us! Prior to the wedding, we had many unexpected last minute changes (weather issues caused foundations damageto our original venue and we needed to scramble to find a new venue/ catering/ update guests etc just 4 weeks before our big day! ) My husband and I were both graduate student with a lot on our plates at the time. Willie was very flexible, professional, reachable and genuinely invested in making sure our big day was as stress free as possible! During the reception he used our "timeline" as a guide, he did not rush us, he did a wonderful job keeping us updated and on track! Our photographer even commented on how good he was to work with! I would recommend Willie from Drop the Mic Entertainment to anyone looking to add personalized touches (we loved our personalized monogrammed name light) a stress free evening, and a full dance floor! We can not thank him enough!! More...

Did a great job MCing our wedding. Crowd-pleasers kept people on the dance floor while avoiding cheesiness. Like many weddings, ours had a big range of ages and backgrounds, but there was something for everybody. Even got my parents on the dance floor--quite an achievement. Offered a webpage that allowed us to easily create "must-play," "play, time-permitting," and "do not play" lists. Honored our wishes of no Celine Dion and no country, probably against the pressure of many of our guests. More...

Drop the Mic was absolutely phenomenal. We booked Willie as soon as we met him because he was such a great person! His personality is perfect for a DJ! He played every single thing we asked and handled all of our "weird" situations so professionally. He really got our crowd involved when we came in the room and made us feel so special! Highly recommended! More...

Due to planning from out of town, we did not meet with anyone in person. However, when I spoke to Willie over the phone, he was extremely helpful and attentive. Their planning tool was very straight forward and easy to use. Come wedding day, I had no concerns. DJ Karlzel was great! He was very friendly and handled our guests requests very well. More...

Drop the Mic was absolutely the right choice for our wedding. Willie is a pleasure to work with and so professional. After our first meeting, I knew I would not regret hiring Drop the Mic. The music on the actual day was perfect. Willie has a great energy, but isn't cheesy like some DJs. Highly recommend. More...

We had DJ Allan at our wedding on Saturday. I loved the music he was playing and he kept people on the dance floor all night long! ! Very impressed with the music. I was a little disappointed in the way he announced events. The mics just weren’t loud enough people couldn’t hear. It took awhile for people to realize the anniversary dance was happening because of this. I also asked for the DJ to make a few announcements about my caramel apple bar so the guest knew to make an apple and take it home as a favor. He never announced anything about it & by the time I realized it was too late. I just wish he had been more on top of our announcements! More...

Could not have asked for a better DJ for my wedding! Will was always super quick to respond to my emails and assist with any questions I had. I went into my wedding with a timeline that I really wanted to stick to. I learned that being the bride, it's hard to keep track of time but thankfully I had Will there to make sure we stuck to the schedule! I didn't have to worry about missing anything. I had many guests tell me how great the music was - Will kept the party going. 10/10 recommend. Thank you Will! More...

When you book a service as important as the music at a wedding reception you often have to wait until the day of the even to find out if you make a good choice. Well...from start to finish our DJ Carlzel was absolutely amazing -- always totally professional, fantastic sound system, accommodating when someone asked about a song...just absolutely made the evening wonderful. We would definitely recommend this company and him in particular for your event any time. I have another daughter with a wedding in her future and Drop The Mic is already on our list of who we'll be using. Thank you, Carlzel! More...

Willie was the perfect DJ for our wedding. He was very responsive from the beginning, was able to accommodate all of our music requests and special requests for mixing/transitions. His MC work was equally impressive and helped us stick to our wedding timeline with a natural flow, no awkward pauses or interruptions with transitions. Perfect ability to read the room and give the party what it needed music wise. Very accommodating to moves and last minute changes in plan. Willie is the best and we will definitely recommend his service to our friends for future events! More...

From day one, Will was beyond professional and extremely flexible when it came to meeting with us and what we could do with the wedding. He was very easy going and never asked us to change our ideas or told us no. Any idea that we had, he was willing to work with. The day of the wedding, not only did he do his job, but he also worked with the staff who was serving our food in order to fix a time issue. I am so glad that we went with Drop the Mic Entertainment, it was money well spent. He made our wedding day one that everyone will remember. More...

We had a perfect experience with Drop the Mic and DJ Will. From the very start he was always very helpful and quick to respond (I, of course, had a million questions), and when it came to the day of, we couldn’t have asked for anything better. It was immediately clear he knew exactly what to do to help us keep everything running smoothly throughout the whole night. I was all over the place but he made sure to find me and check in before we had any major moments of the night. He was attentive the whole night and made sure everyone was always on the same page. Furthermore, we have had many compliments from guests on the music selection and the amazingly fun atmosphere. I would recommend Drop the Mic over and over again. More...

Like most brides, I am a very detail oriented person. So naturally, as I was planning out the reception I wanted everything to be perfect, and Willie definitely helped make that possible! With his online planning form you can ensure every second of your reception will be exactly how you want it, and he does a great job at ensuring everything stays on schedule. Willie was also super responsive throughout the whole process. He was always available anytime I had a question or wanted to meet up to ensure we were on the same page with everything.

We absolutely loved him. He was a great time and kept the party going. The day was a little unorganized on our part due to the rain delay, but Willie kept calm and tried to keep us on time with things. He pronounced the last name a little wrong, but that was the only minor issue. Will definitely recommend to friends! More...

As a wedding photographer, I've worked with many DJ's over the years. Drop the Mic entertainment has hands down been my favorite. DJ Willie Hooper knows how to get the party started, and keep it going. Do yourself a favor and hire them! More...

Exceptional value (5 star) for a great cost ($)!
The DJ companies you pay for generic, they've done this for the 150th time, wash and repeat type of DJ.
Not the case with Will. He was part of the family and truly treated our wedding as if it were your own. By not going through a DJ company you do run the risk of no back-up DJ, however, Will smashed that concern right off the bat.
It was a true pleasure working with him. He was responsive and accommodated our requests without hesitation, dressed professionally, arrived promptly and handled the flow of the night perfectly! He didn't emcee too much either and read the room and the audience to make sure he set the perfect vibe.
You would be foolish not to use Will !
