    A 5 star rating could never be enough to represent his above and beyond work ethic and personality!

    Chris was the upmost professional and amazing DJ we could have asked for! He not only drove across the state to still provide services for us on our wedding due to a last minute cancellation of our original wedding note being able to workout due to unforeseen circumstances, he readily made himself available to us within less than a month's notice to help give us our wedding. He was more than your average DJ by providing us with day of coordinator services at a last minute notice which SAVED our wedding! He even helped decorate our wedding the day of because there were hiccups happening, this man is incredible!!! He is a genuine and kindhearted human, which we just so happened to have encountered and had the great pleasure of working with. Thank you Chris for helping us with everything and going above and beyond for my husband and I on this special day!

    Devoted, supportive, enthusiastic, & unbelievably kind.

    Chris is truly the best option for a DJ if you live in Greenville, SC! He was unbelievably helpful & kind throughout the whole process. He did so much more than just MC & DJ as well. He made sure my husband & I got our food, ran every song request by me (per my request), & truly so much more. I am sure that Chris did more behind the scenes to help the day run smoothly. Our wedding was perfect & a large part of that is due to Chris. I would recommend him to anyone!

    The best decision we made!

    We hired Chris for our wedding last weekend. He did an amazing job as DJ and completed many coordination tasks as I did not have a coordinator. Everyone at the wedding saw him go above and beyond for us and our families. He executed what we wanted with the dance floor and showed flexibility with rain schedule changes. He was by far the best vendor to work with, was the most attentive to what we needed and helped the most during our planning process. Having someone who responded in a timely manner to questions and concerns makes a world of a difference when the wedding planning stress hits!

    Amazing DJ!!!

    Chris did an amazing job as the DJ for our February wedding! He was incredibly detailed throughout the whole process, was easy to talk to and timely in his communication. Chris was always available for questions and worked hard to help us figure out what we wanted (and didn't want) for our reception. His experience and knowledge made him super easy to work with. Chris made a detailed timeline of all the announcements/ music and had us make a list of our favorite songs to play during cocktail hour/ at the reception. I had MANY compliments from friends and family about Chris keeping the dance floor lively the whole night! Additionally, other vendors we had positively reviewed Chris as well and said he was helpful with setting up at the reception. We found Ideal Entertainment to be reasonably priced and well worth the investment! Would give more than 5 stars if possible!!

    Absolutely amazing!!!

    Having Chris DJ our wedding was the best decision we made! Our guest absolutely loved him and had an amazing time on the dance floor and In the photo booth. Chris truly took the time prior to the wedding to really sit down and talk through what we were wanting and provided a lot of ideas not only with music but layout, time line and coordination aspects. We could tell he truly cared about us and cared about making our day special, which we loved about him!!! He was very professional, constantly communicated with us and was very caring!

    Dj chris is the best!

    Chris was nothing short of amazing! He was incredibly helpful during the preparation before the wedding and his professionalism during and after the wedding was impeccable. Super organized, very knowledgeable not just about DJing but about the wedding business in general. Truly the best night of our lives thanks in part to his amazing skills! Please book him!

    Absolutely amazing! We could have never dreamed for more

    This guy goes above and beyond! We had a very last minute cancellation from our dj. We were given Chris’s number and within 5 mins of a call he was running to action! He came in and saved the day. And when I say saved the day that’s an understatement! Very professional, great personality and ability to keep everything moving. He met every single want and need we had. Our reception was beautiful, fun and ran smooth as anything possibly could. No one there could believe that he had not been preparing for days nevertheless an hour or so. I highly recommend ideal entertainment and will definitely use him any time I get a chance!!

    Ideal Entertainment's reply:

    Thank you so much Joe!! It was an absolute honor to be your Superman lol. I feel terrible that you were burned by an unprofessional DJ, but I'm very happy that I was able to be there to help! You and Melissa are awesome, and I'll always be here if you need me in the future!

    Amazing dj & great person

    Having Chris as our wedding DJ gave me so much reassurance and lessened my wedding day stress. He is organized and had the whole reception schedule planned out. He already had a decent list of song for each portion of the reception. We had several zoom calls with him since we were about 10 hours away and we felt fully confident in him. The day of the wedding he arrived early and went above and beyond his duties. The music was great and our guests loved his entertainment ideas! Best wedding DJ I have ever seen and beyond that he is a pleasant and reliable person! 10 STARS!

    Ideal Entertainment's reply:

    Thank you so much Leah! It was an absolute honor to meet and work with you and Pibu!!! This review has me "almost" speechless, and I can't thank you enough for being so amazing! I'll always be here if you ever need me again in the future!

    Chris was phenomenal! I was a disorganized bride despite my best attempts and Chris was able to help me with picking songs for each section of the wedding. He kept our guests laughing and dancing all night long! He was kind and ALWAYS available. 10/10 would reccomend!

    Where to start! Chris and Tara are nothing short of exceptional! They both are good hearted and down to earth couple. They both have a deep passion for their entertainment business. Tara did an amazing job as an officiant for our wedding. It was so heart-filled and genuine, it was perfect. Chris has a talent for music and ceiling drapery! Our guest raved about both the ceremony and reception. Chris had the guests dancing all night and everyone had a memorable night! Thank you both from the bottom of our hearts! We highly recommend Bower Entertainment!

    We had Chris for our wedding back in July and he did amazing! He was very responsive to messages and questions, always kept me informed, he helped out with other vendors to make sure everything went smoothly. He was even prepared when we had to love the reception inside due to inclement weather. He did an amazing job and kept the party going up until the last minute. Thank you Chris!!!

    The biggest vendor that blew us away on our wedding day was by far our wedding DJ. Chris Bower from Memories in Motion exemplified handwork, creativity and thoughtfulness. With every meeting we had, he was well informed, prepared and showed us that he truly cared for us and our wedding on a very personable level. He offered several times to help us with whatever we needed, even if it wasn't music related, and was fun, easy-going and pleasant to be around throughout the entire wedding reception. We were truly amazed to see how much care he puts into his work.

    Best wedding team! We had up lighting, dj, photo booth center pieces, and everything was perfect! Our caterer goofed and lost the stuff that was to go on our tables but Chris called our photographer while we were taking pictures to get the info on the stuff that was missing and handled it with one of my bridesmaids! Life savers! We were so happy words cannot express!

    Chris did the uplighting and was the DJ/MC at my wedding, he was phenomenal! First, he helped keep me sane during the months up to my wedding and made sure I knew that if I needed anything he would be happy to help. I got so many compliments on the uplighting at my wedding and everyone loved Chris. I've been to a few weddings and Chris is definitely the best I've seen. I would highly recommend him!!! I would hire him in the future as well! Love, Amber and Kevin Brewer

    Chris is awesome! He was everything we wanted in a wedding DJ! From the first call we instantly connected with Chris and his personality, and we knew he'd be a great fit for keeping our dance floor packed. He played all of our must-play list and provided us with great recommendations for the event as well. We highly recommend Chris from Memories in Motion for your next event!

    I cannot even explain to you how awesome Chris is. We called him to do our wedding & in less than 3 days he had already been corresponding to us thru email, phone calls & texts to get the final outcome details to perfection! We had a beautiful beach wedding & Chris was the officiant with the best prices in town. He also grabbed his phone & took some phenomenal pics just because. We appreciated you, Chris & look forward to having an awesome reception using you as well! <3

    We booked Chris for our DJ, uplighting, linen rental, chair covers, photography, and his wife Tara as our coordinator. They really are a "one stop shop" for all of your wedding needs at an excellent price. They were the first vendor we booked, over a year in advance. Chris and Tara stayed in touch with us monthly up until the big day and were very responsive with emails. They truly have a passion for this work and love what they do which you can tell immediately! We still receive compliments from our families a to how wonderful job they did. I could not be more happier with them as they were the reason our big day went so smooth and was perfect :) Thank you!!!!

    Chris and Tara were a pleasure to work with from the start. I could tell that they genuinely cared about our wedding just as much as my husband and I! Our first venue actually fell through after we had booked, and Chris even helped us find the right place for us! The photobooth was a total hit; our guests had a blast! It was great to have one vendor to coordinate with for the 3 services that we booked, which made me a happy bride. I would highly recommend!

    My husband and I were so pleased with out decision to use Memories in Motion. Chris did a great job of making our reception fun and keeping our guests entertained, without being over the top. He played every song we requested, and did a great job selecting music on his own. We received so many compliments from our bridal party and guests on his services, and we would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ. Aside all of that, Chris was very responsive and easy to work with, which was very much appreciated in what was a relatively stressful season.

    Memories in Motion was by far our favorite vendor of our wedding! Chris and his wife were incredibly helpful and went above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect :) Chris was an incredibly entertaining DJ and worked with our coordinator at our venue to make sure everything happened on time and correctly! :) The Photobooth was a hit and we had a lot of fun going through all of the pictures after we got back from our honeymoon. We definitely recommend this vendor for any of your event needs!

    Being that I am extremely picky about my hip/hop I was hesitant on every DJ I looked up. I was referred to Memories in Motion and couldn't have been happier. Aside from Chris being a super nice guy, he was on point with his music selection to keep the shy families on the dance floor, great on the mic with introductions, very cost friendly, and was into every song that was being played. We mixed a surprise first dance and he had perfect timing on jumping on the mic (makes video so much better). Fast email responses, and a life saver on planning the timeline of the day. Def recommend to anyone.

    I am very late to writing a review but I can not say enough about how much Chris helped me through my wedding day at the Bilmar. He was always available when I needed someone to ask about wedding related things and he always had the answer. My wedding day would not have been nearly as perfect if it weren't for him having worked as hard as he does. If you are looking for a run of the mill DJ that will play good music do not book, Chris and team are reserved only for people looking for the most personalized wedding day experience imaginable. Thank you again so much for everything you did!

    I cannot say enough good things about Memories in Motion. Chris, our DJ, was absolutely amazing! He listened to exactly what we wanted and created such a fun atmosphere for us and our guests. His number one priority was keeping us happy and he definitely did that. Everyone was out on the dance floor having a great time and all of our guests kept saying how wonderful Chris was. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ!

    Chris and Tara were so awesome to work with from day one!! I felt very comfortable leaving the night in Tara's hands! We rented chairs covers and chair sashes and they went above and beyond trying to make sure the colors matched as close as possible, the uplighting looked great! Tara was my listening ear when I was starting to feel stressed and assured me she would make sure everything went as smoothly as possible...and it did :) I can't thank these two enough!
