Rocket Entertainment 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Serves Gainesville, AL

Locations in Huntsville, Alabama | Birmingham, Alabama | Knoxville, TN | Chattanooga, TN. Rocket Entertainment, is a wedding DJ and event lighting company that specializes in making your event your finest moment. We also travel frequently to the Nashville area and can do destination weddings.

We had DJ IAMONEAL, and he did a wonderful job! He said he would arrive at the venue at 2pm (2hrs prior to the ceremony) and he arrived at 2 on the dot! He was super friendly, and he did everything we wanted creating the exact atmosphere we were looking for. Rocket was also one of the most affordable options we found, which honestly made me a little nervous at first, but they were amazing! They provided a fantastic value for a super affordable rate. They even set up a separate ceremony sound system for no extra charge since our ceremony and reception were in different locations at the venue. This is something that other companies were going to charge extra for. Overall, I would HIGHLY recommend Rocket Entertainment and DJ IAMONEAL!

Our bands cover Top 40 hits, fiery versions of Soul, smooth versions of Motown, elegant jazz classics, toe-tapping bluegrass, and country - it all exists among the performers we work with!

We used Sam Hill Entertainment to book the band “The Dickens”. This is the part of our wedding everyone is still talking about. They played such a variety that every age was able to enjoy. Not a single person was sitting at the tables while the Dickens were on the stage. They were very interactive with the crowd and even let the groom (a guitar player) get up there and jam out with them. This was such a fun addition to the wedding and we loved every minute of it!

If you ask anyone, ever, in the history of time who the best wedding DJ is, they will say me.* Dance floor lighting: ✅ Venue Uplighting: ✅ 360 photobooth: ✅ Stage Special FX: ✅ Don’t hesitate to reach out! *depends on who you ask

Even in 2024, booking vendors for a gay wedding can be stressful. You never know if you are going to be met with animosity simply for requesting their services, and sometimes seeking out services that cater to gay weddings can be intentionally overpriced due to their rarity. I browsed through Zola, but I could not find a way to filter for lgbt friendly vendors, but googling DJ Triplicate and finding his storefront allowed me to book him. 5/5 A communication, and performance! He responded instantly every time we reached out, and was always quick with a suggestion, or solution any time any obstacle presented itself. Thank you!

Born and raised in the Metro Detroit area. DJ iamchase is not just the #1 Celebrity Dj in West Michigan. He is also a Tour Dj, Record Breaker, and a Host. All while DJing Weddings, Corporate events, Concerts, and Night Clubs.

Our Dj, Terrell, did a FANTASTIC job at our wedding. He announced everything well, communicated with our wedding coordinator and the other vendors, played our requested song list, and consistently checked in on my (new!) husband and I throughout the evening to see if there was anything that he could help us with. On our song list, we noted that we didn't want any country music played (unless it was a specifically requested song), and when one of our guests asked him to play 'Cotton Eye Joe', Terrell even came up to me and asked me if it was okay because he wasn't sure if I considered that country music! Overall, we are VERY happy with terrell! My husband and I would definitely recommend to other couples who are planning a wedding!
