    Chris Atwood and Absolute Events were by far the BEST vendor we worked with for our wedding. They are real people and understand how best to make your event the party you want it to be. We are still receiving compliments on what a great party we had, indicating that the dance floor was never empty - even during dinner and complete with a sing off of Paradise by the Dashboard Lights! I would highly recommend meeting Chris and his team from Absolute Events.

    Chris Atwood and Steve Pierre were truly phenomenal and made our wedding reception one to remember. With only two weeks to prepare (our previous DJ cancelled on us at the last minute), they pulled the reception together without a hitch and we still hear rave reviews about it. Chris ensured a smooth flow of events for the night, and he gave an awesome introduction for the bridal party. We did not have to worry about what came next, or the timing. Everything was on point. One of the things we were concerned about was that our families wouldn't dance and the floor would be empty. But it was packed the entire night!
    Steve also did an amazing job. We specifically wanted someone who could cater to a largely Trinidadian/Jamaican crowd and also play popular music from the 70s, 80s and today. We were nothing short of impressed by their selection of music and willingness to work with our needs and specific requests.
    At the end of the day, we had a wonderful celebration, and everyone, old and young, had a spectacular time. I would recommend these guys any day. They are very professional, organized, experienced and flexible. You won't have to worry about a thing.

    If we could give Chris Atwood 6 stars, we would! He went WAY above and beyond to make our wedding special, fun, and exciting. We had so many compliments about the DJ and how he got everyone on the dance floor! He is so amazing at accommodating every single desire you have for your wedding, but can also be completely trusted to do his own thing and know exactly what your party needs. Absolute Events made our wedding the most fun, exciting night of our lives, and I am thrilled to recommend them to everyone I know! We love you, Chris!!!!

    Absolute Events deserves TEN stars! My husband and I had Christopher Atwood and Absolute Events provide the music (DJ/emcee) and lighting at our wedding in May 2012.

    When my husband and I talked about entertainment for our wedding, we had a short but non-negotiable list of demands:
    1. Everyone has a good time
    2. High-energy
    3. DJ
    4. Reasonable price

    Long story short? Absolute Events fulfilled every single one of these criteria and SO much more!

    Because my husband and I were living in different time zones before we got married, Chris went out of his way to arrange mutually convenient times to arrange conference calls to go over every detail possible to make our wedding day spectacular. He listened patiently and carefully to our needs and ideas and offered helpful suggestions for the music and timing of each step of the ceremony and reception. He was easily accessible by both phone and email, and was clear and thorough in his answers to all of our questions.

    Absolute Events gave us exactly what we were looking for -
    polished professionals we could work with painlessly and trust completely to deliver an outstanding experience. There was great energy throughout our ceremony and reception, and the response from our guests was overwhelmingly and unanimously positive. Months later, our friends and family are still telling us how "well done" our wedding was.

    We would recommend Chris Atwood and Absolute Events without any hesitation to anyone. We were 100% satisfied with the outcome of our decision, and we thank them for making our wedding day truly unforgettable!

    If you want a unforgettable, energtic, fun wedding you must meet with Chris Atwood of Absolute Events! We got soooo many compliments of what an amazing job he did. Our guests said this was the best wedding they were ever at! The night went tooo quick because of all the fun. You must must get the blacklight package, i've NEVER seen so many people on a dance floor at a party in my life! He really turned the place out! One complaint is your feet will hurt by the end of the night, but trust me, the pain is so worth it!!!! Chris is so easy to work with and down to earth. Some DJ's can carry a bit of an ego but not here, I felt like we were old friends from the first time we met! Thank you again for making our wedding the best day not only for us, but for our guests also!

    I also booked John Argueta for photography through Absolute Events....what a professional! I've been in a few weddings and the photographer had no direction and no voice. Not the case here, John was an absolute professional and guided me through the entire day. I saw some of the pre-edited pictures and I cannot wait to see the rest, OMG! For the rest of my life, when I need a photographer I will be calling John. His work is above the rest and he is down to earth easy going person! Such a pleasure to work with, thank you being part of our day and providing us with some of the best memories of our life!

    "BEST WEDDING WE HAVE EVER BEEN TO" is what we keep hearing and we have to thank Absolute events for that. From day one we knew they would deliver and boy did they ever. We had a Dominican/Italian wedding and finding a DJ who could entertain both sides was not easy. Rich Kenny did an outstanding job with translating and introductions and Chris Atwood knew exactly what to play the whole night. They catered to everyone in our diverse crowd and the dancefloor was packed the whole night! Some of our family and friends who never dance were on the dancefloor the whole night!! That says it all. Thanks Absolute for such an amazing evening!

    Chris Atwood, Rich Kenny, and Anthony at Absolute Events are THE BEST! Our guests haven’t been able to stop talking about our DJ company and what an awesome party they put together for us. I can’t even tell you how many people came up to us throughout the night to say that of all the weddings they have been to, ours is the one that they’ll always remember because of how great the food was and how awesome the party was! In fact, I know of at least three people who asked for their contact information at the end of our reception. We originally had a deposit with another DJ but I began to get a weird feeling about them about 4 months out from our wedding and convinced my husband that there was no harm in at least looking for another DJ. We needed a DJ who could effectively do an American and Latino wedding with some Greek songs in there as well and prior to hiring our first DJ we realized that a lot of DJs in the area don’t really understand what good Spanish music is and that there’s a difference depending on what country you’re from. We happened to be on YouTube and found videos of some really awesome weddings – some of which had great Spanish music played during them – and they all turned out to be from Absolute Events. We contacted Chris who got back to us right away and he said that he had our date available. As soon as we met with him we knew that he was EXACTLY what we were looking for! He has such an awesome personality and what sealed the deal for us was that he clearly loves what he does and he really knows what he’s doing and adapts to his crowds. We told him right off the bat that we didn’t want a DJ or MC who was over the top and constantly barking into the microphone but we did want some sort of interaction because at a lot of weddings we’ve gone to (even the ones with good music) there seemed to be a disconnect between the DJ and the guests and as a guest you can sense it. On top of that, he had a challenge ahead of him because we had a really mixed crowd in terms of age, race, and culture. Chris and his team NAILED IT! They did the ceremony music for us and it was seamless, the cocktail hour was exactly the type of music we asked for (we wanted songs that weren’t too slow/boring and that would start getting people into party mode without them actually dancing), and the reception was just one hell of a party! The dance floor was PACKED the entire night, the Spanish and American guests were dancing to Greek music, the Greeks and Americans were dancing to Spanish music, everyone was dancing to the American music and it was just the perfect blending of cultures and generations! We honestly don’t know how the party turned out as amazing as it did… we had high hopes, but we NEVER in a million years expected it to be so great and for everyone to still be talking about it weeks later! Everything from the music Rich played to the way Chris did the introductions to the way he handled the garter toss to the last song of the night had everyone out of their seats and having a good time… even our other vendors were getting into it and having a good time because you just couldn’t help but enjoy yourself! I’ve never seen Absolute Events mentioned on this board before, but they definitely should be and we (and apparently some of our friends and family) will be using them again in the future!

    Absolute Events provided both music and lighting for my April 30th wedding. I cannot say enough about Rich Kenny and Chris Atwood. Chris was my first contact at the company, and he was incredibly responsive and professional at all times. Rich was the MC at my wedding and everything ran perfectly smoothly. He followed ALL of my guidelines, and played perfectly to our crowd. We received so many compliments, and even though our wedding was small at 100 guests, there were always people on the dance floor. If a song wasn't getting a great reaction from our guests he seamlessly transitioned to something else. He didn't grandstand or self-promote like I've seen at other weddings. He was all class, and the consummate professional. The lighting was gorgeous, it is well worth the money to add this on to your package. I would highly recommend Absolutel Events to host your wedding.

    Rod and his team were absolutely AMAZING! Yes, there was a slight hiccup in the paperwork. BUT these guys were absolutely fantastic. They had everything time out perfectly. They had the right mix of music to get the party started, and to get that dance floor packed! The crowd loved them so much, they begged for more at the end of the night. I could not be happier. Thanks!

    Thank you so much Chris for the wonderful job that you did at our wedding. From the moment I met you at a bridal show I knew that you would be perfect and you were. The lighting, the montage, the music, the crowd involvment, everything was absolutely perfect. We didn't have a huge wedding but you knew how to get people dancing and out of their seats. We could not have asked for better services and I can't wait to have another event so that we can use you again! Thank you again so much!!!!

    Absolute Events delivered above and beyond services for our wedding day. We had a multi-cultural (Colombian-American) wedding and Chris & the team really stepped up to the plate to customize the music to be exactly what we were hoping for. The introductions were flawless, transitions seamless and, most importantaly, our guests danced the ENTIRE evening from start to finish! Thank you to Absolute Events for contributing to our dream wedding day!!

    I really don't know where to begin to say how amazing Absolute Event Services is! My husband and I used Absolute for our wedding on June 25th. We had learned about them because we attended my best friend's wedding in 2008 and they were her DJ. We attended 4 weddings that year and decided it would be best to go with a DJ for our wedding based on what we thought about all of the DJ's from those weddings. The ONLY DJ we remembered from all of those weddings was Absolute! We knew then that we HAD to have them and we HAD to have Chris Atwood as our MC. I have not one negative thing to say about this company!! Chris is truly phenomenal. From our first meeting to our last meeting to the wedding(including his DJ's, equipment, knowledge about keeping the party going), everything was OVER THE TOP. I would say that besides the actual marriage, the DJ was the best aspect of our wedding! I hardly ever write feedback about things, but I think any bride to be should know about this vendor and how unbelievably happy they would be to use them! I know that almost every single person that attended my wedding came up to me or my husband to say how great our DJ was. I will be recommending him over and over and over again! Do yourself a favor and book Absolute Event Services and Chris Atwood!! You will NOT regret it! Make sure you get the plasmas, white gloves, and gobo!! :o)

    Chris Atwood has been the entertainment choice for our parties for years now, my family and friends love him. He will not disappoint. I got married on Jan 2, 2010 and Absolute Events was our entertainment choice yet again. The dance floor was packed the entire night. Everyone was up and dancing. I heard numerous compliments from our guest saying he was absolutely amazing, they had so much fun and learned so many new dances. Chris will control the dance floor and will give your guest an evening they wont forget. I guarantee it.

    My husband and I were Married on October 17, 2009 and we used Absolute Event Services as our DJ for our Big day. We could not have been happier with them. I have never seen so many people dance at a wedding before and that is exactly what we wanted on that day. I still 7 months later have people coming up to me asking me who my DJ was because they loved them. I will 100% recommend them to all of my friends and will use Absolute Event Services for any of our future parties.

    Thank you Chris Atwood for making our day so much fun!!!!

    We booked Chris and Absolute Events for our wedding after seeing them at a friends wedding and it was the best idea ever! Chris did a great job listening to us and tailoring the music/cake cutting/photo montage exactly to our requests. He was super easy to work with and made us feel at home. On or big day we could not of asked for anything better. His equipment was set up very professionally, with huge TV screens so that all of our guests could see our photo montage, and our names were in lights on the floor. He kept the night flowing with ease, and there were ALWAYS a ton of people on the dance floor. I think the best compliment we can give Absolute Events is that several people (including the staff at our wedding reception hall who work weddings every weekend) asked us for his contact info because they were so impressed by the great job he did that night. Bravo!

    Chris Atwood was the MC at our wedding in July 2007. Our friends and family are still talking about it. From cocktail hour to the farewells, Chris provided the right mix of elegance and fun that we were looking for. During the reception, the dance floor was always filled ~ even our grandparents and the shy 'wallflowers' were swept up in the fun and joined in.

    Chris was there every step of the way to make sure that we got the reception we wanted. I would gladly recommend him to any of my friends and family.

    Chris, if you're reading this, thanks again for the memories!!!

    Absolute Event Services was wonderful to work with. They provided suggestions and took our feedback to help make our wedding special. Our guests were out on the dance for the entire night. The MC helped to move things along, keep the night going, and entertained all of our guests. From the younger guests to the older guests, everyone enjoyed the music!!

    Absolute Entertainment asked us for our input in the songs we would like played at our wedding, we requested multiple songs from different genere and they played most of them, if not all of them. The DJ had the crowd to their feet and everyone commented on that and how much fun they had. A cousin of ours commented that her daughter is getting married in less than a month after us and said she wished that she saw our DJ prior to booking hers. She was that impressed.
    They did a wonderful job would recommend and use them again.

    Absolute absolutely made my wedding reception awesome! The MC, music, and lighting was provided by them, and everything was great! My guests are still talking about how much fun they had. My only issue is that they were hard to reach on the phone sometimes. I'm not sure if it's because I was calling during the wrong hours or what, but it was frustrating at times. It did get better somewhere along the wedding planning. Overall, the service was above and beyond. I would definitely recommend them.

    DJ Chris and his team provided the entertainment and videography services for our wedding. Everyone keeps commenting on how GREAT our DJ was! The dance floor was always packed and everyone had a great time at our wedding. Chris and his crew played a really great mix of music and created an awesome party atmosphere for our reception. We were really happy with the job they did for us and would recommend DJ Chris and his team to anyone who is looking for a great party.

    While my guest enjoyed themselves at the wedding. I being the Bride, knew of all the behind the scenes things that didnt go as planned...our music for our intro and special dance was cut incorrectly, is one of the biggest things i cant get over. We just ordered special effects that never took place...it really sucked to be let down in such a way on our big day. I wish we could have forseen all the issues.
