I paid DJ Tommy Dee $2,650 to deejay my wedding as well as to provide a Digital Music Copy of the wedding playlist within 3-4 weeks following the event.
It is now more than 20 weeks after my wedding and not only has Tommy not provided the wedding playlist, but he has gone totally radio silent. He is not responding to my text messages, e-mails, or phone calls. He just took my money and now no longer feels the need to complete his end of our contractual agreement.
He is currently in Material Breach of our written contract. And I now have the unfortunate task of having to file a lawsuit against my Wedding DJ for Breach of Contract for what appears to be no legitimate reason whatsoever other than the fact that he just don’t feel the need to complete his end of the bargain (but had no problem accepting the full amount of money in traceable Venmo payments leading up to the event).
If I could do it all over again, I would not have hired Tommy. Having a digital music copy of the wedding playlist was actually the main reason I sought out to hire Tommy. It was the predominant topic of conversation in my very first correspondence to Tommy, as well as throughout the entire wedding planning process. Accordingly, after all the planning that went into it, to now not have that playlist is extremely upsetting to both me and my wife.
Moreover, Tommy had a number of issues with respect to his professionalism that I was willing to overlook at the time. But, his recent behavior has now made it impossible for me to continue doing so. So I’d like to detail those professionalism issues below in hopes of warning other couples about Tommy and to advise them to take caution in hiring someone in a role with so much power over your special day:
(1) In the almost two years I corresponded with Tommy leading up to our wedding he blew off the vast majority of our planned phone meetings. As I sit here and review all of our documented e-mails, phone calls, and text messages, I’m actually blown away by how many times Tommy would schedule a phone meeting with me and then just completely blow it off. Blowing off scheduled phone meetings as if it were “cool” to do that over and over and over again adds an unnecessary layer of stress in the weeks leading up to your wedding.
(2) He also drank heavily at our wedding. I know this because he asked me - the groom - to go up to the bar for him on multiple occasions because he needed to be “loosened up” in order to do his job effectively. Trust me when I say this: it certainly doesn’t feel like a choice when your Wedding DJ asks you to go to the bar for him right before he’s about to start mixing for the dance section of the night. He even had the audacity to make a comment that went something like this: “Would you believe that some people have a problem with me drinking while I DJ their weddings?” Which is an interesting comment to make because it tells me that he has been reprimanded for this behavior before and he hasn’t altered it. Of course, I’m sure his drinking had nothing to do with his overall level of sloppiness towards the end of the night.
Planning a wedding is stressful enough (especially during a pandemic). And Tommy’s unprofessional behavior both leading up to and during the event made it unnecessarily more stressful. And if that were not already bad enough, the fact that he has now decided not to complete our contract that is very clearly in writing after being paid in full is unbelievable to me. I now have to spend my time and money filing a lawsuit against my own Wedding DJ for not completing our agreement for reasons unknown to me because he is now unreachable.
So I’m writing this review to warn other couples about DJ Tommy Dee and his business: Evolution Entertainment.
On a personal note, I really wanted this all to work out. Honestly, I liked Tommy and thought he was a nice guy with some flaws that I was willing to overlook. But, he really pushed this whole thing to a point where his flaws have become impossible to overlook.
Tommy shouldn’t be in this business if he’s not going to honor his agreements.
I was going to gift that playlist to my wife on our anniversary, but Tommy has made that an impossibility now.

I knew that the music and entertainment at my wedding HAD to be perfect; so I did my research. I poured over website after website searching for the perfect vendors.
Every review pointed me to EVOLUTION ENTERTAINMENT. I contacted them and received a timely and friendly response to set up a meeting at their office. From the moment I met Joe and Anthony, I knew they would deliver. They are the picture of professionalism. They took my (unorthodox) ideas and welcomed them with genuine excitement.
But not only are they friendly and professional, they SINCERELY CARE about their clients. They offered to help when my ceremony musician canceled on me a month before the wedding. They ASSURED me time and time again that my wedding would be perfect; that they would personally see to it. And I will tell you, it was! Despite that fact that a kitchen malfunction caused a fire alarm to blare for 20 minutes during dinner, they did not hesitate to offer an extra hour of their services at NO CHARGE. They also helped my guests out of the venue to await Fire & Rescue safely outside. Once we were cleared to re-enter, it was like it never even happened. The night went on without a single hitch.
The dance floor was packed all night and every single song was meticulously chosen and incredibly well-received! My guests went on and on about how wonderful the DJs were. I know I will be calling them again for any future events, and I suggest you do too!
Thanks again Joe and Anthony!! We love you guys!!
Love,
Sarah & Mike Gilkenson

When I think back on wedding it was the time of my life! The entertainment is what makes the day. Tommy did a great job, from the music to the uplighting! He made sure we got exactly what we asked for. He was professional throughout the planning, he met with us two times to make sure everything was perfect. He played the music that the crowd was dancing to. The dance floor was full all night long. Everyone couldn't say enough of great things about him! 9.4.16 More...

I have known Tommy Dee for quite some time now and when it was time for my wedding planning to begin, I started right with him. He's always been an exceptional dj in the bars and club I have gone to see him at so I knew I was making the right choice. He was extremely professional and presents himself very well. My wedding was on 10/9/2016 at cafe Nuovo in providence, ri. He played all the right music from a-z. We had a great night and I'm so glad I went with my instinct on this one. Thank you so much!

Anthony & Joe were absolutely phenomenal at Caleigh & Andy's wedding at the Salem Cross Inn!! It was a new venue (and quite a distance) for them.
They took the time to meet us there ahead of the event to ensure that everything was perfect!
Joe and Anthony were accommodating with our special requests and played a mix that kept our guests on the dance floor the entire evening! We received many compliments on how fun the wedding was, in large part because of Joe & Anthony's talents at choosing the right tunes to keeping the party going!!

My Wife and I booked Evolution Entertainment for our wedding this past June. Our experience was unbelievable. They were extremely professional, personable, and a pleasure to be around. From initial consult to the event they were 100% on point about everything. Price was good, and the services warranted every penny. I will never use anyone else for any future events. They will accommodate you in every way possible. Thanks Gentlemen! More...

This was DarrowEverett LLP's second time working with Evolution Entertainment and they exceeded the already high expectations we had for them.
Our holiday party is one of the most important nights of the year for our business, both in terms of client development and the manner in which we wish to present ourselves to our professional community, and Evolution rose to the challenge with a music selection and corresponding lighting design that was both sophisticated and dynamic. Our guests and employees had a tremendous time that night thanks in no small part to Joe and Deej Tommy Dee’s contributions, and we look forward to working with them again in the future.
Thank you,
