REVIEWS

DJ Chris Redburn killed it! Non stop dancing and rolled with the vibes of the night all night long! Couldn’t ask for a better DJ! I would highly recommend him for any event!
Daryn

DJ Chris was AMAZING!!! He was so down to earth and helpful through the entire process. He also helped to keep our evening organized and moving, giving endlessly helpful advice along the way. He truly knows his stuff and had our wedding dance floor bumping until the very end! We couldn’t have chosen a better vendor for our Castle Farms wedding. You will not be disappointed if you choose DJ Chris at Rusch Entertainment!
Jordan

DJ Chris is AMAZING! Chris is professional, fun and knows what he is doing (seriously just trust him!). We had guest of all ages and generations completing that that music and dance floor was best they have ever had!! THANK YOU CHRIS FOR BEING APART OF OUR DAY!
Alexis

DJ Chris was fantastic! Super experienced and during our talks was super informative and helpful! Our reception couldn’t have gone better! He made the whole night such a blast!
Jackie

DJ Chris was amazing. His setup is great and he is so easy to work with. We had our wedding party do entrances as groups. The bridesmaids went first, then the groomsmen. The groomsmen entrance had some moving parts to it and he NAILED it. Everyone loved it, it exceeded our expectations. From the moment after the first dances, to the last song, he had everyone on the dance floor ALL NIGHT. Which was exactly what we wanted. On the call with him I told him that the real test of the night would be getting my dad out there, and he got him out there dancing! He truly made our night that much better and we cannot recommend him enough.

DJ Chris did an amazing job DJing our wedding at Aurora Cellars! We asked for a somewhat non-traditional experience and he was more than happy to help us achieve our goal of a very natural, flowing evening. We didn’t want many emcee’d announcements or traditional dances to be announced with the dance floor cleared, and DJ Chris helped make it all happen as we hoped for. Our biggest goal for the evening was to have an epic dance floor and DJ Chris beyond delivered! He incorporated all of our must plays seamlessly throughout the night mixed together with hits that kept the crowd going without any awkward lulls. We had multiple guests tell us after the evening was over that it was one of the best dance floors they’ve ever been a part of, all thanks to DJ Chris & Rusch Entertainment. We highly recommend this team for anyone looking for a great party 🙂
Jenna

DJ Chris read the room so well, got all the music cues correct, and kept the energy high through the entire evening. I could not have asked for more. He was a true highlight of our wedding and I can’t thank him and Rusch Entertainment enough for that.
Mikayla B. – 5 Star – wedding at Castle Farms for about 125 Guests in the Knights Castle

DJ Chris R was excellent!
Asked lots of questions to see what was wanted from the bride and groom. Was very flexible. And knew how to read the room. He had the dance floor packed from beginning to end. We received tons of compliments from our guests about what an amazing wedding it was. Thank you Chris!! Highly recommend.
Julie

DJ Chris Redburn did an AMAZING job! He had the guest just a ROCKIN on the dance floor! There wasn’t any time that the dance floor wasn’t full with people dancing! He engaged with the guest and never missed a beat! He took requests and played them all! You would totally be happy if you had Chris as your DJ! It would not disappoint! He’s the best of the best!
Mary

5/5 – If I could give more than a 5 star I would. DJ Chris was the Best DJ ever!! If I could give more than a 5 star I would. DJ Chris was the best DJ I’ve ever seen at a wedding. His set up was insane, he came fully dressed for the occasion in a full suit. Was super easy to work with, catered to everything we wanted. This guy knows what he’s doing and I couldn’t recommended him enough. We had nearly 200 folks on 7/2730/2024 at Wellers, Saline
Maddy D.

Chris Redburn was the BEST DJ! He kept things running smoothly, respected our ideas and wishes, and kept the dance floor full and poppin all night!! He created smooth transitions and spoke amazingly when he needed to. He was very professional and friendly. We can’t say enough good things about him. Book with Chris everyone, you won’t regret it!

Dean,
We had Your DJ Chris DJ MC for our corporate meeting for roughly 60-80 guests on a January Tuesday at Hollywood Casino at Greektown. Yeah! It went really well. Next year, it should be me in charge. I will definitely reach out if we decide to have a DJ again.
L.C Territory Office Manager – Michigan

Hi Dean, Just wanted to say how awesome of a DJ Chris was at Castle Farms on 10-13-23 for our 200 Guests. He exceeded all our expectations! My husband and I are extremely grateful for all his hard work and effort he put into making our special day so perfect. Chris listened to all of our requests. I couldn’t be happier and more pleased with our experience. Thank you so much!😀
Sincerely, Ryann & Eric, Sterling Heights

We had Dj Chris for our wedding and he was amazing!! The dance floor was packed all night. He had things flow so easily and was so happy to answer any questions we had both before our wedding and during. We also had so many complaints afterward about how fun the music and great our dj was. We would recommend him to everyone.
Grace

They were great! Easy to communicate with for booking purposes & leading up to our wedding day! We had DJ Chris and he was AMAZING! He was so easy to communicate with, played the best songs our dance floor was packed all night long!
Ali

We had Dj Chris at our wedding! He KILLED IT! He is a total expert, came completely prepared, engaged with everyone, and kept the party going and the dance floor packed! He is amazing and we would recommend him to anyone who wants their wedding to be a great time! Guests: 175 (Booked 18 months ahead!!) Asked for DJ Casey, who wasn’t open, so we booked Chris. We loved DJ Chris!
Cassidy C. – Whippoorwill Farms – Sparta

DJ Chris was the most wonderful DJ to work with! Talk about a party! He knew exactly what to play with out crowd. When I say we had to actually shut down the dance floor 10 minutes late, we truly did! We could not get people to leave! He assured me that he knew what he was doing and he was right! I have already sent Rusch’s contact information to many people because we have loved working with them from the very first phone call last year. Their personalities and love for what they so shows through! Please go check them out!
Cali

Awesome service! DJ Chris at Castle Farms For About 125 Guests
We highly recommend Rusch Entertainment and DJ Chris for anyone looking for a fun wedding! We really enjoyed working with Chris and his great song selections. He was easy to work with, understanding and kept the reception running smoothly.
Hannah D.

You all were excellent, from the get go. Just pure top notch. Chris was very timely, well organized, professional, and so much more than that. There were some things on our end we didn’t even think of and Chris tied up all the loose ends flawlessly. He got the dance floor so hype that we had people in their late 60’s and early 70’s going NUTS to “Get Low” by the end of the night. Which honestly, we weren’t sure how that one was going to go over with the older crowd 🤣🤣

The biggest thing though is we all just got to let loose and enjoy our night. I never once paid attention to our set timeline. Chris pretty much just came and grabbed me every time something was coming up and be like “Yo, you got this in 5 minutes.” And nothing ever skipped a beat. A+++

I recommend your crew to ANYONE who wants to have a fun wedding.
Andrew Nuerminger

DJ Chris was great! Everyone loved the music and had a blast dancing. Cory, was super helpful and quick to respond to any questions I had. They were very flexible with my specific requests for songs and the ceremony music. They were able to use instrumental recordings for the ceremony from my mom, and it added that special touch to the day. Would highly recommend!
Brittany Noble

Hi Dean!! We had a great time at our Christmas party. DJ Chris helped keep the atmosphere fun and inviting. He was such a joy to work with and very professional. We would recommend him to anyone in search of a great DJ! Chris played Lots of Top 40, Classic Rock, 80s for About 100 Guests at our Employee Christmas Party at the Bavarian Inn Lodge.

Hi guys! I just want to thank you for everything. Our wedding was perfect and I can’t help but think that was because of our DJ. I was going to leave a review but couldn’t find it on Facebook! I just want you to know Chris amazing. He rolled with the punches with us and was more then friendly! If you want to tell me where to leave reviews I would love too!

The kids had an awesome time at the Homecoming Dance with DJ Chris. Thanks so much for coming! I believe Winterfest is Feb. 15 and we would LOVE to have DJ Chris back!! I am still trying to get Prom situated, the date is not working for the location that they want. I will get back with you about that too if you are still available. Thanks again for being the best part of the day! CCCHS!!
Lynn R. – St. Coun. Ad.

Chris was such a good DJ. People are STILL talking about how much fun the reception was and loved the music. He played everything we had asked him to and made sure to check in with us periodically throughout the night. We communicated before the wedding to make sure we were on the same page and he went above and beyond our expectations. SO glad we chose Rusch Entertainment and got Chris!
Rebecca & Joe Pinconning (We had nearly 350 Guests at the Knights of Columbus in Caro)

Chris DJ’ed our wedding this month and was amazing. He did such a great job catering to our many requests while still reading the room and keeping the dance floor packed all night. He also surprised us with some small touches like playing our song one last time to wrap up the night. Awesome DJ, thanks so much Chris!
Steven

Our DJ Chris was awesome! This was a post wedding celebration back in Michigan with friends and family after getting married in Hawaii. With the event not being a traditional wedding reception, Chris was able to give us some great suggestions to get our guests involved throughout the evening while not doing the typical events of a reception (no bridal party announcement, bouquet toss, etc.). Chris was great at reading the crowd and playing songs that not only got guests out on the dance floor, but kept them dancing for the whole party. Chris is a super nice guy, really easy to work with and was very professional, while still knowing how to have a great time! Would recommend him to anyone looking for a phenomenal DJ for their next big event!
Luke

Hi Dean Our DJ Chris was the best I’ve ever seen, I could go on and on on how awesome he did. I would recommend him and Book him again if I ever have an event! Thank you so much!
Rachel and Theodore Bacon – Italian American Banquet Center with about 200 Guests!

Hi Dean, Chris did an excellent job. He was well prepared and very professional prior to the wedding. At the wedding, he was again very professional and easy to work with. We had a rain delay and Chris helped reorganize a few things so that the wedding still flowed very well. Finally, the music was on point!! Everyone had a fantastic time!! Appreciate the easing going and professionalism.
Regards, Adam – Wedding Ceremony Beach, Cocktails In Hall, Reception in Tent- Tawas Bay Beach Resort

Chris provided music for our daughter’s wedding and reception. He was awesome. He kept things moving along and allowed us the time to visit with our guests and enjoy ourselves. Dance floor was always full at the Lumber Barons Brewery. Your staff was great! My daughter the bride stayed up there the entire time and danced her heart out and that’s all that matters to me! Thank you.
Diane S. Lumber Barrens, Bay City nearly 200 people!

Dean, We had a blast! Chris was outstanding, everyone loved the music choice. He was great and we loved every minute of it! We still haven’t gotten our wedding photos back but once we do I’ll shoot some of people dancing your way. Thanks for being so great and we’ll definitely spread word of your company!
Tori

Hi Dean, Rusch provided yet another memorable night for our consumers. Chris was professional, compassionate, and engaging and everyone loved him at the Dort Federal Event Center for About 500-1000 adults. We hope to have you back again next year. Have a great day!
H B – Administrative Assistant, Genesee Health System

Hi Dean! Words can not describe how grateful we are to have had Rush Entertainment (Chris the DJ), for the DJ at our wedding. We had the best night of our lives and the dance floor was never empty the whole night!! We have received comments from multiple guests asking who the DJ was so they could refer them to others that they know. Honestly, there is not anything that I thought need to be changed, Chris was very polite, checked in before the wedding and verified any info before announcing at the wedding. Hands down best DJ!! We will remember Rusch for any other parties there may be down the road! Thanks for making our wedding one to never forget.
Matt and Stephanie Nowiski – Comstock Hotel, Owosso

Hi Corey! Our wedding was amazing. DJ Chris did such a great job and went above and beyond and ended up DJing our pool party after the reception as well. Everything went extremely smooth. He was so friendly and an amazing guy to work with. Like I said earlier he went above and beyond for us by making our pool party a HUGE HIT. We would use him again and recommend him to friends and family. Thanks for all that you did for us. With the dilemma that happened with the other company overbooking us, you guys went above and beyond to fix the problems. Please let me know which sites you would like reviews on and I will make it happen.
Sam & Jake MacLean

Chris was awesome! He set up for the ceremony and reception well in advance. He was out going, accommodating, fun and knows how to have a great time! There were no complaints, EVERYONE loved him including the grandparents and great aunts and uncles! After the reception we had an after party and Chris came! He was having so much fun with us and us with him he came, it was in a water park, he got music going and we all had a blast! The mother of the bride never left the dance floor. We were all smiles and sore this morning! Never have I met a more fun loving music loving professional DJ before! CHRIS IS AMAZING!!!
Hannah K.

Chris from Rusch Entertainment was our DJ and he did a fantastic job. We also had Tammy as our violinist for the ceremony. She did a perfect job.
Denielle and Mike T. – Montague Inn

Dean, Chris did a great job. Great music choices at Zehnders for our Company Appreciation Party with 150+ guests. THANKS!
Veronica F – Manager, Human Resources – GPC Ferndale

I picked Rusch for our wedding because I had several people recommend the company, and I couldn’t be happier that we did! Chris did an amazing job getting people out onto the dance floor, and a majority of our guests stayed until midnight (when the reception ended) because they were all dancing. I had so many people comment on how fun our reception was, and the main reason was due to the music. The fact that our guests enjoyed our special day as much as we did makes it that much more memorable! You guys exceeded our expectations, and I will definitely recommend Rusch to anyone planning an event!
