I am so glad we hired Shiloh Duo for my wedding! Phoebe and Barbara were incredible at our event and their music really elevated the whole feeling of the evening. Their repertoire was exactly what I was hoping for and more! I was so impressed with the range of songs and genres they have in their repertoire and I was thrilled that they were able to play on the baby grand piano in the lobby of our venue for the hospitality time and also bring their own equipment to transition to our ceremony space seamlessly! Having live music for our ceremony really made the night feel special and unique!

Guests of all ages danced the night away and one of our friends even split his pants open from dancing so hard! Herbert did an excellent job of integrating our requests and music tastes with the ebb and flow of the ceremony/dinner/dancing portions of the evening.

Servicing all of Long Island including Nassau County & Suffolk County as well as surrounding New York areas, our goal is to bring your party to life and make sure you and your guests have an amazing time

ALL OF THE STARS!!!!!!!! From the very beginning, we knew we were in the best hands with Enjoyable Entertainment—you’re more than just a vendor, you’re truly part of our family. There was never a doubt in our minds that you and your amazing team would deliver an unforgettable experience, and you absolutely did! Not only did the music for our ceremony flow seamlessly, but Will—oh my goodness, Will—was incredible! He worked tirelessly to make sure the whole event ran smoothly. His energy and professionalism kept everything on track, and he knew exactly when to turn up the vibe or bring it down to keep things flowing. He was such a key part of making sure the dance floor was packed all night long! You and Andrew worked your magic to keep that dance floor rocking, and you knew just when to push the right buttons to keep everything moving. We never had to worry about a thing. And let’s talk about Chris—he came through with those zap shot photos like a total pro! We had them in hand by the next morning, and that was such a fun surprise! YASSSS! We can’t thank Patrick enough for checking in throughout the day to make sure everything was just how we wanted it and that the music was exactly right. Your attention to detail truly made a difference. And Mike—please let him know our guests loved the photo booth! Shark-Bait-Woo-haha! It was a hit! And OMG, everyone was obsessed with our percussionist Justin! That little jumping bean is beyond talented! He brought such an incredible energy to the party, and his performance added so much life to the night. Seriously, thank you for everything. The day was chaotic, as any wedding day is, but you made sure everything ran on time and with ease. We felt so taken care of, and you helped make it one of the most memorable days of our lives. We love you all so much!

A 16-year veteran of the NYC club scene.

Awarded Best of Zola
Marcus truly livens up the party; from the minute our guests hit the dance floor, he had them hooked. Marcus is a master at reading the room and handles himself well, accepting necessary requests and ignoring those that he knew weren’t what we wanted to hear. Marcus arrived early and worked closely with other vendors to ensure his set up was what he needed to succeed. His vast knowledge of music allowed him to seamlessly transition from genre to genre, pleasing the entire crowd. Throughout the entire wedding planning process, Marcus demonstrated exceptional professionalism. He quickly responded to any email, made himself available when we wanted to chat on the phone, was flexible when things changed, and most importantly, respected and understood the vision that we had for our reception. The initial worksheet that we prepared with him created the template, but it was his attention to detail that allowed us to have full confidence on the wedding day that it would be exactly what we wanted. Marcus is a delight and I cannot recommend him enough. With Marcus as your DJ, trust that your guests will dance their socks off and talk about how fun the evening was for weeks.

Jay was our DJ (and friend) at our wedding at Renault Winery this past April. We cannot say enough good things about working with him! From the very beginning, he ensured us that he would make all of our wedding reception dreams come true and he DEFINITELY executed! He kept our dance floor full the entire night, he took care of displaying home videos on a projector during the daddy/daughter and mother/son dances, we booked a trio to play live music for the ceremony and cocktail hour, and all of this came out beautifully! We could not recommend Jay with his great energy and On The Beat FX more!!!!!

  • Serves Upton, NY

Based out of Brooklyn, NY, DJ KDOT LIM (Kevin Lim) is a 20+ year professional open format DJ that brings a unique blend of nightlife, wedding, & event experience to the wedding process and day-of. With a DJ style thats both engaging & fitting at all times, he understands not only what to play, but how and when to play it most effectively. Whether it be mainstream or alternative music, there will be dancing (and singing) ensuring your celebration is unforgettable. In addition to providing DJ services & sound equipment, Kevin will provide MC services, making any announcements and introductions throughout your reception.

Kevin is AMAZING!!! He DJed our wedding celebration in May 2024, and WOW - he was 100000% our dream DJ. We had eloped a year earlier, so our "vision" for the night was to have an epic dance party with all of our friends - Kevin understood this immediately, and delivered truly beyond our wildest imagination! He kept the vibes moving during cocktail hour, and then seriously BROUGHT THE PARTY. The dancefloor was packed for over 3 hours straight. It felt like every single person there asked us where we had found our DJ, and they couldn't believe the mixes he was doing on the fly!! From the moment I first reached out to him in January right up until the end of the event, Kevin was consistently professional, upbeat, and efficient. He replied to all communication quickly, and was SO thoughtful in his preparation. He provided a shared document months ahead of time so that we could share music and scheduling info, and on the night of the event it was so evident that he had paid attention to every single detail ever mentioned in the document, over Zoom, or on our site visit. Every single must-play song came on at the perfect time, he managed to source very specific remixes that I had mentioned, and he kept the night running on schedule with such a chill, stress-free, and adaptable vibe. Kevin even introduced us to his colleague Richie for dance lights when we were debating our lighting options, which also ended up being absolutely perfect! I cannot stress enough how collaborative and understanding Kevin is, how smooth the process was, and most importantly - what a KILLER DJ he is. He truly wants to deliver the night of your dreams. My heart felt like it was going to explode in the best way multiple times that night, because of all the incredible, better-than-you-could-ever-have-imagined dancefloor moments. I wish we had an excuse to do it all over again, I would work with Kevin again in a heartbeat!!!
