Sutherland Entertainment was one of our vendors at our wedding this past weekend at the Brazilian Room in Berkeley, CA and we cannot say enough good things about Spencer! He was on the preferred list of vendors for this venue and we can see why. Spencer is detail oriented, professional and a great MC/ DJ. He has a variety of packages that offer AV, DJ-ing and even photo booth services. He is incredibly knowledgeable and we had zero mic feedback, great mic volume and clarity. He was able to read the crowd and kept the party going all night long!
Before the wedding he made sure to send over a planning spreadsheet so he knew exactly what it was we wanted. He even helped put up some Chinese lanterns for us on the patio to really bring our vision to life. Day of, he checked in with us the whole day to make sure we were feeling good. We had a small issue with a table falling over and he was the first vendor to come over and reassure us that everything was going to be fine.
Overall, Sutherland Entertainment is the DJ to beat and should be your first choice when looking for a full-service, awesome party.

Spencer came highly recommended by our venue owner and hiring him for our wedding was the BEST decision we made. Hes thorough, professional, knowledgeable, friendly, easy going and a pleasure to work with. He was patient as we navigated the process and worked closely with us to create amazing playlists. We also had him play guitar during the reception and it was magnificent! Finally, when we asked for some last-minute changes, he accommodated them with grace and understanding. We recommend Spencer with our highest level of enthusiasm!!

Spencer was absolutely amazing throughout the entire wedding planning process. His communication and website is so clear, he follows a helpful timeline, and he knows what questions to ask to make your wedding run smoothly. At our wedding, Spencer was professional, kind, and calm. His guitar playing is stunning and his DJing was perfect. Our wedding ran so smoothly because of him. We wish we could get married again just to re-do the party :) If you are going to hire a DJ and/or guitarist, hire from Sutherland Entertainment!

DJ Kevin did an excellent job at our wedding. He handled the timeline and speeches perfectly (including a surprise musical element to my dad's toast), he helped me with a unique mix we added to the playlist to surprise the groom, he kept the dancefloor full for a diverse crowd from start to finish and was a pleasure to work with. I would recommend him in a heartbeat!
We also had a great experience with the photo booth. Our guests really enjoyed snapping their pics and our guestbook was full of great shots and nice notes.
All in all, very pleased with the service and would recommend wholeheartedly.

I have nothing but positive things to say about Spencer and his company! He was kind, organized, structured, and the glue that kept our wedding together. Honestly, I had no expectations going into our wedding about a DJ because I've only been to weddings where they're just "ok" at best. I was so surprised by how amazing my experience was because I have never witnessed such a good DJ! We didn't have a day of coordinator, but he did such a great job keeping the flow of everything all together. He has great suggestions and can go with the flow, but is not pushy or bossy at all. He can read the room and change the ambiance accordingly. We got married at the Brazilian room in Tilden (half inside, half outdoor), and he set up the microphones and speakers for the violinists and the person ordaining, he did the lighting, organized the catering and photography staff, and kept us on track. I honestly couldn't recommend anyone else that would be half as good as him. And everyone came up to us after the wedding and raved about him! No regrets!
