REVIEWS

Hi Dean!
We are so happy with the One World Island Steel Drum Band you sent us. They were friendly and fantastic. We got tons of compliments and would hire them again in a flash. We even included them in our family photos. THANKS for everything!!!!

Garret and the Rusch Entertainment Team,
Happy New Year! Andrew and I would like to extend our utmost gratitude to Garret and your team for DJing our wedding on New Year’s Eve.  Garret was easy to work with, responsive, and flexible. He was very kind and accommodating regarding the unique ceremony set up. He put his own twists on things during the reception, but he got and kept people on the dance floor. Everyone had a great time and we attribute a lot of that to the entertainment.
Thank you again. We wish you all a happy, healthy, and successful 2022!
Best, Rachel and Andrew Hofmeister 

RUSCH ENTERTAINMENT IS #1 AT CASTLE FARMS IN CHARLEVOIX

There’s a reason why Rusch Entertainment is the #1 recommended DJ Service by Castle Farms in Charlevoix, MI (Where we had our wedding on October 5th, 2019). Our DJ was Matthew Heller and he was awesome! Before speaking with Matthew, I sent him a list of all of the songs we wanted played during every event of our wedding. When we spoke over the phone, he went through the entire list with me and was happy to accommodate us any way he could. The day of our wedding, Matthew made sure every song we requested was played at the right times and it really helped tie our ceremony together. We had told Matthew that we did not want our guests requesting songs and he made sure of that as many of our guests tried to request songs and he informed them he needed approval from us first. Many of our guests commented on how great the DJ was as well as the set up. My husband and I had a choreographed dance for our first dance and Matthew did an amazing job adding drama to the dance by using smoke at the exact right moments. From the ceremony all the way to the end of the reception, Matthew did an excellent job. If you are looking for a DJ Service for your event, contact Rusch Entertainment and see if Matthew is available. You won’t be disappointed!

Hi Dean,

Sarah here. Thank you so much for helping us have such a memorable and fun night. We had so many of our family and friends tell us how fun the dancing was. A lot of guests commented on how many people were on the dance floor all night. You did a great job of playing songs that each generation knew. Some older songs for our parent’s generation, and some of the newer songs for our friends and us. I liked the form we filled out to make sure the music was just what we wanted. I was also told by multiple people how fun the photo booth was! I loved getting the pictures back and looking through them the next day. That was so much fun.  Here are a few pictures our family took of some of the guests dancing.

Thanks! Have a great day!!      Sarah Kushion – PS You were a great DJ for my wedding and my brother’s wedding (4 Months earlier!) If anyone needs one, I would give you a Wonderful reference. You can have them call, email, or text me. 

Hi, Dean!   It was great working with you! Madisyn and Travis had a beautiful wedding and were not afraid to party. You did a great job keeping them dancing! Most other DJs are not as into it as you.   Mandi and I hope to work with you again in the future, thank you! (The Venue at 501)

Dean,  I just wanted to drop you a note – the DJ you had at Tullymore last night was absolutely OUTSTANDING. Given that we had to turn the patio from ceremony to reception, his set up was quick and organized – and his music selection and crowd engagement/ announcements were on point!  We don’t get enough responses in this business that recognize excellence, so i wanted to be sure to pass along a thank you for a great experience.
Matt Golden – CEO/General Manager – Tullymore Golf Resort

Hi Dean, Scott was awesome!! He was personable, easy to talk to, was able to keep guests on the dance floor 🙂 we really enjoyed him and would recommend him for any wedding! I know a couple of our guests took your business card and are interested. The manager at tullymore talked to my now wife and said he would like more of your DJ’s out to Tullymore because the guests were so pleased and had so much fun! Thank you so much for doing business with us! We might see you guys down the road for other weddings 🙂    Thank you!
Devin and Tori Cavendish

Rusch Entertainment truly helped to make our wedding 2/23/19 the best day ever!
Whenever I called the office with questions Dean or Casey were always helpful, kind, and patient with me. DJ Joe was so fun. He called the week before to go over details. He took the time to make sure i didn’t miss anything and was flexible when i wanted to change the order of announcements. He was just wonderful! He played the perfect soundtrack for the perfect day!
Rachel Forshee – Sullivans Black Forest

Absolutely top of the line. DJ Aaron was everything we had hoped for!

Rusch Entertainment went above and beyond to make my wedding day perfect. From beginning to end the dance floor was full. Our DJ Aaron was a superb master of ceremony and guided us through all the introductions and formalities. I received many compliments from my guests!!
Tracy Rowley (Nearly 200 guests at Apple Mountain – including several DJs who were impressed with Aaron’s skills!)

We worked with Corey Rusch and he was fantastic in every way. There was never a time we felt pressured. He was easy to work with and helped us all along the way. Our guests raved about the DJ and how much fun he made the night. We wanted to focus on the food and music for our guests and used Rusch Entertainment made this possible. He even recommended our photographer to us.
Sarah White – About 200 Guests! – Midland Country Club   

My wife and I could not have been happier with Dean Rusch. He was recommended to us by Castle Farm’s, so we already had a good feeling about him. After meeting with Dean, my wife and I pretty much knew we would pick him for our October wedding. We felt he understood us and our kind of music and the kind of multi-cultural atmosphere we were hoping for. Prior to our wedding Dean spent over 2 hours with us planning out everything. He made sure he could pronounce the bridal party and parent’s names and he went over all the details of how the night would run. My wife and I had a few special requests and things we wanted announced and he took note of it all. We went over our play list and Dean was able to get a good sense of what we wanted. He was easy to get in touch with in the weeks and days leading up to our wedding and he always got back to us promptly. He also pushed us to complete the playlist documents within the requested timeframe. I knew our wedding was in good hands and I was right! Dean remembered everything we requested throughout the evening and it was so great knowing that I didn’t have to worry about a thing! The dance floor was always full and people had a great time dancing. So many people came up to us during the wedding and afterwards praising Dean and the music. He was able to read the crowd and provide an atmosphere our guests absolutely loved! There were people of all generations at the wedding and the music worked for everyone! I cannot write it enough, but thank you Dean for helping to make our wedding day so amazing!

Rusch Entertainment did an OUTSTANDING job for our wedding! If you are looking for someone who keeps the party going until the lights come on, stop reading now and get them booked for your event!! Their entire team is enthusiastic, professional, and ultimately keep your vision for your event at the forefront. If you want a heck of a party, with guests on the dance floor the entire night, these folks are the absolute way to go. As a bride, this is the type of experience I wanted for my guests. I received numerous compliments on how much fun the DJ was (Dean) and it was the best wedding they had been to in a long time. While making my rounds to guests at the reception, I could not help but find myself gravitating to the dance floor as well! It was a blast. Not only do they keep the party going until the lights come on, but offer a wide variety of other services to help make your day special. They also provided beautiful up lighting for our reception that really made it spectacular. They communicate with you frequently, and ask all of the essential questions so that nothing is left out or forgotten. Thank you Rusch Entertainment, for truly making it a day that we, and our guests will never forget!!
Elyse

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

Awesome! Couldn’t be happier and would recommend to all!

We are so glad we chose Rusch Entertainment for our wedding! They were so easy to deal with throughout the process – quick to reply, accommodating and organized. We really enjoy music and wanted to create our own playlist for the wedding – Casey was happy to track down all of the songs we wanted and did a beautiful job putting them all together. He also did an awesome job with the lights and energy. We gave him an idea of the vibe we wanted and Casey killed it! He really listened to our vision for the night and exceeded all of our expectations. Not only did he do an excellent job – he was great to be around, very easy going and we consider him a friend! Thank you again!

 Jordan & Evan – The Blue Dress Barn – Benton Harbor   

Kim did an awesome job!! He was great at keeping people on the dance floor and keeping the night flowing. He played a variety of music that all guests enjoyed and appreciated. Thank you for having DJs that know what they are doing. Definitely helped to make our wedding night memorable! I plan on submitting a review for Kim online as well 😊
Thanks again!
Devon Jones

As soon as we started planning, one of the first things we knew is we had to have Casey as our DJ after seeing him working at other events. I may be a little biased, but he outdid himself for our wedding, it was an absolute blast!! We met with Casey beforehand and ironed out all the details for the big day, and everything was even better than we had planned. The dance floor was PACKED from the first until the very last song!! We have received so many compliments on how fun our wedding was, and we have Casey to thank for that! He really knows how to work the crowd, he played the best music and made sure the dance floor was the place to be the entire night. There aren’t enough words to express how grateful I am for Casey and Rusch Entertainment for giving us the wedding of a lifetime! If you’re planning your big day, they should be one of the first things you check off your list!
Brittney

Joe is literally the best. He and his family made my wedding so special. Everything went so smoothly and my guests were raving (after they stopped dancing and taking photos in the photobooth!). Joe accommodated all sorts of music requests. He was also very kind to me and my guests which is so important in a DJ and on a day that can be overwhelming.
Nicole

We had Corey Rusch as our DJ for our wedding last weekend and could not have been happier! He seamlessly transitioned from our ceremony to cocktail hour, was extremely helpful at keeping us on task and keeping the momentum of the night going. We had a thousand compliments on the music and have suggested Rusch to anyone who has asked! Corey truly made our night magical and memorable, so glad we chose them for our special night!
Shannon Anderson

Corey Rusch absolutely killed it as the DJ in our wedding. Not only did I recognize this, but guests were all approaching me wedding night and the next day about how incredible he was. He listened to what we wanted and absolutely met our very high expectations as both our families love to dance.
Best decision we made!
Thank you Corey.
Laura

Good afternoon Dean,
The bride & groom are thrilled with your team’s performance. Thank you so much for an awesome celebration! Scott the DJ was wonderful & we had people on the dance floor all night long. The photo booth was also a huge hit and very well managed a lot of great memories made there. We & Our guests had a wonderful time, thanks to your talented staff!  I will definitely recommend your group anytime!  We had about 125 Guests at the Flint Institute of Arts
Sincerely, Nancy Bysko (Mom)

I want to give a huge THANK YOU to Corey Rusch for being our DJ at our wedding! He did such an amazing job and kept people on the dance floor all night long! We had so many compliments from our guests at the song choices and he made it a variety for all ages. Rusch Entertainment truly took part in making our wedding day special and we are forever grateful! We will be recommending our friends and family to use you for events!   Thank You!
Jon and Mindy Manser – Lumber Barons Brewery – About 300 Guests!

We booked DJ Ben from Rusch Entertainment and he made our ceremony and reception everything we could have asked for. His service started much before our wedding day as he was able to council us on what would work best with our timeline for the day as well as our planned layout for the reception. After all we were getting married for the first time and he’d done this many, many times and did everything he could to share his experience with us. He was very kind hearted and made sure that we made time to take in the day as a new couple and enjoy every moment. We had a outdoor wedding along the water and he was able to make the music match the mood perfectly. At our reception Ben ran the show! We come from baseball families and we joked that Ben was the catcher of the day- calling the plays and making sure everyone was in their spots. Our arrival to the reception was a little off schedule and he was able to help to work everything out smoothly. He even went above and beyond and took priceless pictures of our full dance floor and of the large group picture of people who stayed at the reception late. If you book with Rusch Entertainment and are lucky enough to get Ben, he will be sure to give you exactly what you’re looking for!
Rachel Traver

Dean,
Our wedding reception was above and beyond what we expected. Keith, or DJ, did an amazing job. He played exactly the music that we requested and the style that we were going for. He had the dance floor packed all night! He was awesome about keeping us on schedule with toasts, cake cutting, and first dances. He did an awesome job and I highly recommend him! Bonnie and Kevin were our photo booth attendants, and they also did such a great job! They had the largest selection of props for a photo booth that I’ve ever seen, and everyone had so much fun with it!  I love that they give you a book with all of the photos as well as a USB drive with copies as well. Overall so glad I went with Rusch Entertainment and we were very happy and impressed!
Mr. and Mrs. Zervoudakis – About 200 Guests at the Grand Unity Event Center, Petoskey

We hired Corey Rusch from Rusch Entertainment to provide DJ services for our reception and our ceremony on our wedding day. Prior to the day, Corey had us fill out a form to help organize our wedding. This form, with its links, was very helpful to us. On the day of, both the ceremony, and the reception took place outside with the reception taking place under a tent. Corey provided music during the ceremony and a microphone so that our voices could be heard. He also played each song and led the events during the reception perfectly. He did everything we had agreed on prior to our wedding day without issue. He did however exceed our expectations when it started to rain prior to when the reception was to begin. We had to cut our time for pictures short and rush under the tent. Corey was able to introduce us, the wedding party, the flower girls, hostesses, and the ring bear differently as planned, but it worked out perfectly. I will use Corey and Rusch Entertainment again when I am in need of DJ services.
Patrick and Ashley

Corey Rusch was amazing! He was great at communicating before the wedding and very easy to work with. He had people on the dance floor all night long! A good DJ was very important to me and Corey did not disappoint! He also was a great MC/host throughout the night, great transitions from cake cutting to toasts to first dances. (This is something very small, but have noticed it at other weddings, his DJ both was very nice and classy. I’ve seen other DJ booths that are all advertisement/gaudy, not Rusch!). We also used Rusch for the photo booth which was a total hit!
Rachel & Jordan Herman – The H Hotel   

WOW, you want to book Casey @ Rusch Entertainment for your next big event! We had Casey Rusch as our DJ at Castle Farms and what a classy, professional, upbeat guy he is. Everything from his DJ booth display to his demeanor was absolutely on point. He brought my husband & I water after the ceremony while we were taking pictures on our hot July wedding day, class act. Let’s not forget about the music, he kept the dance floor rocking ALL night. His beautiful wife, Amanda, ran our photobooth and was very polite, fun & professional as well. I would HIGHLY recommend Casey & Rusch Entertainment. Thank you so much for helping make our special day perfect.
Best regards, Sarah & Derek Roehl

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!
Jessica Polaski

Casey was amazing and made our night as special as we hoped it would be! Even another vendor at our wedding told us “Casey knows his *#%!, you guys got yourselves a great DJ!”. Casey, along with Rusch Entertainment, has the reputation it has for this very reason. From the 45 minute initial conversation on the phone with Dean before we even signed on with Rusch Entertainment, (he actually was the one who suggested the wedding/reception site we ended up going with – thank you!), to the day of with Casey’s constant communication to keep things running smoothly, it was perfect. You can’t find another business that will take this kind of time and care for each customer. Thank you so much for making our day so memorable and ensuring our guests had a great time.
Christina & Marino Lini at the King’s Court Castle at Canterbury Village (We hope you use our review!)

Hello Dean,
Scott Fray was a fantastic DJ at Julie & Josh’s wedding at the Drummond Island Resort! The set-up inside and outside, music playing while guests arrived, the cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing, went off without a hitch. He was easy to work with, was very attentive to the songs they wanted included at their wedding, and his guidance with the timeline was greatly appreciated. The dance floor was full the whole night, and everyone had a great time!
Thank you,  Elyse M. (Mom) Troy MI – Drummond Island Resort & Conference Center

Hi Dean,
Corey did a fantastic job. We are so happy with the way our big day went. The dance floor was always full, people loved the music played at various points throughout the evening, and he was just a fabulous MC. We will be submitting a review on FB but I want you to know it was perfect. The entire process from start to finish was awesome with Rusch. Easily the best vendor we worked with from planning the wedding to the end of the reception.
Thank you,
Joe Martin – Over 300 Guests at the Scottish Rite Valley of Bay City

Dean,
We were totally satisfied with DJ Scott and the photo booth.  Our DJ Scott was awesome. He was there early and set up for both the outdoor ceremony and indoor reception.  He was in constant communication with us on timing and schedule.  The music selection was totally appropriate and had the guests on the dance floor most of the night.  Highly Highly Recommended. The photo booth was a hit.  Kaylee set up early and was pleasant and professional to all of our guests. Highly Highly Recommended.
Geno & Michelle – Spring Meadows Country Club

Casey exceeded our expectations and was a hit! Our wedding turned out amazing and I was so pleased with our reception. No one ever left the dance floor! Everyone commented on how they could hear everything at the ceremony, which was definitely a concern of ours since it was a beach wedding and super windy. The up-lighting looked fantastic, and his song selection and suggestions were great. We’ve had so many comments that our wedding was “the most fun wedding” they’ve ever been to, and that’s a huge thanks to Casey!! A simple online review cannot do him justice!
Tara & Tim

Hi Dean,

Everything on Saturday was AMAZING. Casey did a fantastic job and all of our guests were complimenting the music all night long (and the compliments continued into the next day as well). We couldn’t have asked for a better reception and the music really made the night. The dance floor was packed after dinner and the music during dinner was absolutely perfect.

We cannot say enough great things about Casey and we really appreciate his hard work making the night run smoothly!  Thank you!

(Wedding Wire 5/5 – Erin & Nathan)We would give Rusch Entertainment 10 stars out of 5 if we could. Picking a good DJ is among the most important parts of planning a wedding, and we can say without reservation that if you go with Rusch you will be in great hands. Casey was our DJ, and he could not have been more friendly and professional. From the planning to the final song at the reception, he was upbeat, happy to improvise, and easy to work with. He played an excellent mix of songs, and the dancefloor was basically always full of both younger and older guests. Everyone had an excellent time and had great things to say about Casey. We cannot thank him and Rusch Entertainment enough for helping make our special day so perfect!
Erin & Nathan – Wedding at the H Hotel

Ben did a beyond terrific job for our wedding! He was very personable, friendly and easy to get along with. He was smiling and having a great time too! He had a lot of great suggestions for the special songs, which helped us choose for the ceremony and reception. He really took into account the feel of the guests and what type of music to play and when. Not only was Ben a great DJ, but he also did most of the planning on how and when we walk up the aisle, stop for photographs, enter the reception, make our speeches, etc. He definitely coordinated with the chaplain and photographers to make sure everything was on schedule and if things weren’t, he made adjustments. I loved his idea of having us dance in the middle of a circle of the remaining guests to our 1st song again. He did such a great job that we were relaxed and did exactly what we wanted to….. enjoyed the evening, had fun & danced! I would highly recommend Ben to anyone. Thank you so much!
Terry and Brian

Hello!
Mike and I were extremely happy with your services! We would highly recommend you to others! Corey was super friendly and easy to work with.
Denise Facione and Michael Clay Wedding – The Graduate Hotel, Ann Arbor – About 100 Guests

Hi Dean,
The wedding was awesome. Casey was busting his butt to make sure everything was perfect during the ceremony and the dance floor was full the entire night. I would recommend Rusch Entertainment to every single bride because I feel like there is no other viable option.. Rusch Entertainment is trustworthy and you know you guys will always show everyone a great time.
Jordan & Chase – NYE Wedding at The H Hotel with 225 people.

Words can not describe how grateful we are to have had Rusch Entertainment 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!

Dean Host’s 49th Annual Flint Bridal Show

Dean,
The show was very, very successful!!! You were FANTASTIC!!!! You made the show so amazing, you are so good at what you do and I appreciate your expertise very much. I look forward to making our 50th Golden Anniversary next year, we need to make it extra special! 🙂 We can talk after the Bridal Show Season for you 🙂 Great Job to you and your ENTIRE TEAM, you are all amazing and make the show run extra smoothly. The Brides love all of you!!!
My Best, Jean Marks, Bridal Show Chairman!

Dear Dean,

Thank you so much for all of the time and energy you put into our wedding day.  From the ceremony to the reception everything went so smoothly.  People still tell us how much fun they had at our wedding.  To quote my friend’s mother, “if you didn’t have fun at that wedding there is something wrong with you.”  I have no doubt in my mind that you deserve the credit for this.  It was so nice of you to include the little extras that I wasn’t planning to have.  All of the lighting you included, props and of course your personality kept the party going.  The dance floor was so full the whole night that it started to break apart!  My uncle ended up wearing a knee brace the next day because he danced so much!  I don’t think I’ve seen so many people stay to the end of a wedding as they did at ours.  I’m including some of the shots that I love from that night.  I hope you enjoy! The Dance Floor was packed from the 1st to the last song, with DJ Dean!

Thanks again, Tyler & Rachel Smith, Montague Inn Wedding

Hi Dean – Casey did a wonderful job on Saturday! The dance floor was packed, the music was great and Casey made sure everything was planned, organized and exactly what we wanted. My maid of honor even called to book for her wedding. Thank you for helping make our reception so much fun!
Lauren – Apple Mountain Resort – 250 Guests

Worth every penny! I’m so glad I hired a professional to handle this big responsibility. A DJ is not a good place to skimp on, and my experience with Rusch Entertainment was excellent. So glad I didn’t just have a friend in charge of an iPod or something. DJ Aaron did an amazing job. I highly recommend him!
Vanessa B – The Barn At Monterey Valley

Hi Dean & Corey! Everything was great! I cannot say enough great things about Chuck! I do not think my dance floor was empty once when Chuck started doing his thing! My guests enjoyed his music selection and really enjoyed themselves. Chuck did great with the up lighting as well, it was a concern for me because I LOVE what up lighting does to a room. After letting him know about my up lighting needs he was prompt to get more lights and made the ballroom at Bay Valley look BEAUTIFUL. I will be writing good reviews on Facebook (when I get back from my honeymoon) for Rusch entertainment and Chuck and will be recommending Rusch to anyone and everyone! You guys are great to work with and I am so happy I chose Rusch for my wedding reception!  Thank You! Karley & Adam W. – For 300 Guests

Hi Dean!   Saturday was the best day of our lives! Corey was awesome! If we had to do it over again we would pick him again. Thank you so so much!! Nicole S. & Bryce S. – 300+ Guests at Apple MT

Hello Dean, I just wanted to let you know I am so happy that I went with Rusch entertainment for my wedding! Kim was amazing!!! He kept people on the dance floor and was so easy to work with as I had made some last minute changes! I am beyond happy with your business! The lady that worked the photo booth (I cannot remember her name) :/ but she was soo friendly too! Loved all the photos we got from that and the album! Thank you so very much I will highly recommend your business to anyone!!! Mill Pond Park with 300 Guestss! Ashley P.

Dean & CEYX Band We had the best time! Your group made our night! We have heard nothing but how wonderful you all were and how fun it was to hear the live music. Everyone heard something they enjoyed! Thank you again for being a part of our celebration!  We had about 200 Guests attending the wedding at Baker Lofts, Holland, MI Mackenzie

Casey is an amazing DJ! Many people told me that they have never seen so many people dance so much at a wedding. Almost every single person was on the dance floor all night! We had a great wedding and our guests enjoyed our music thanks to Casey! Tessa Brown

DJ Kim was awesome! He was very helpful and made sure that everything flowed smoothly. He was very nice and fun and he kept people on the dance floor all night! It was great! We also used their photo booth service and everyone LOVED it! It was super fun and we got a photo book that people wrote notes for us in too along with a CD of all the pictures. It was awesome.  We had about 200 Guests at the Tullymore Golf Club & St. Ives Golf Course. Jill

Hello! Sorry for they late reply. We wanted to let you guys know what a great job you did! The music was perfect from the ceremony to the end of the night. We have memories that we will cherish forever. We are so happy with our decision to go with Rusch Entertainment! Thank you so much again for everything! We had 150 Guests at Grand Unity Event Center, Petoskey Cheers!  The Gee’s    

My husband and I hired Rusch Entertainment for our post-elopement celebration. I couldn’t have asked for a better group to facilitate this event. Our host Aaron L. was incredible and kept the evening lively through mingling, dinner, dessert, and dancing. They had an up to date playlist, and were able to incorporate all of our special dance/special request songs. We had to coordinate with them from out of town, and they made it easy. Very reasonable cost. Would definitely recommend to anyone in Michigan! Alexandra – Fox Hills Golf & Banquet Center with about 100 guests

The reception was great!! Don was awesome. He was super energetic, showed up super early to make sure everything was flawless, spoke with the officiant to make sure timeline was right, had timing down perfectly and really got the party going. He took a lot of time a few nights before to go over everything with us and it made us so comfortable to trust him with our day. The dance floor was packed and we were all super sore the next day from all the dancing!  We had About 150 Guests!  Thank you!! Jill & Tom Dark

Let’s talk about DJ Joe! What a dream to work with! We had people wanting to party, and he provided that! My favorite part of working with him, was that we had a long conversation prior to the day about exactly how everything will go, our music styles, how the crowd was, etc. Joe was a hoot! He was the perfect person to get the rooms attention, keep the flow going during the ceremony and dinner, and create a blast of a dance floor. We had so much fun, and he pulled out all the stops for an emotional, fun, beautiful day! Alana Holland

Corey did a fantastic job at hosting our wedding! He was very laid back but still professional. He didn’t let the heat or our last-minute changes bother him. Corey always replied very quickly to emails and always kept us updated. I’ve heard wonderful things about Rusch entertainment, and I’m so happy that we were able to share our day with such a wonderful business. Highly recommend to anyone needing professional DJ. Shameka – About 150 Guests at Bay Valley Resort

Hi Dean,  I wanted to let you know that the wedding was great!   We had a lot of compliments regarding Corey as our DJ and a lot of people asking who we used at Zehnders Of Frankenmuth.  Thank you so much, Corey really made our wedding night incredible! Courtney Beckett 

Casey did an amazing job, we were SO happy with how the night went. The DJ was a very important piece to us and Casey exceeded our expectations. He was flexible with us and kept the dance floor going right up until the end of the night. He played a wide variety of music for different tastes and everyone really enjoyed themselves. We would definitely recommend Casey!! Marissa Precour

Best DJ Ever!!! From start to finish 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!!! Last night’s wedding goes down in the history books as one of my top weddings! Nearly 300 Guests – Lakeside Resort & Conference Center  –  Houghton Lake Congratulations Mr and Mrs. MacLean! Hannah Kaniewski – Wedding Planner

Hi Dean, We had a great time! DJ Joe went above and beyond for us both leading up to the wedding and the night of. He was always making sure Emilee and I were doing well. He even joined us on the dance floor, which we loved. He kept the party going and couldn’t have asked for more.  Thank you! Luke and Emilee – About 350 Guests at Apple Mountain Resort

What an incredible experience we had working with Rusch Entertainment. Casey was amazing. I’m not kidding, people never left our dance floor! My husband and myself included. We received so many compliments on how fun the wedding was and how great the music was and we have Casey to thank for that! We’d absolutely recommend them to anyone! Stacy & David Graham at the The Cheney Place, Grand Rapids with over 150 Guests   

Scott was awesome!! He was personable, easy to talk to, was able to keep guests on the dance floor 🙂 we really enjoyed him and would recommend him for any wedding! I know a couple of our guests took his business card and are interested. The manager at Tullymore talked to my now wife and said he would like more of your DJ’s out to Tullymore because the guests were so pleased and had so much fun! Thank you so much for doing business with us! We might see you guys down the road for other weddings 🙂 Thank you! Devin and Tori Cavendish

Good morning! Everything was perfect. Chuck did an amazing job. The ceremony music was perfect, the reception from our entrances to the last song of the night (which chuck sang himself) was great! Chuck really made our guests have the best time.  Thanks so much, we will for sure recommend your company!   About 125 Guests at the Bluefish Kitchen in Manistee! Jennifer F.

Dean, I just wanted to drop you a note – the DJ you had at Tullymore last night was absolutely OUTSTANDING. Given that we had to turn the patio from ceremony to reception, his set up was quick and organized – and his music selection and crowd engagement/announcements were on point!

We don’t get enough responses in this business that recognize excellence, so i wanted to be sure to pass along a thank you for a great experience. Matt Golden – Assistant Resort Manager, Tullymore Golf Resort

Hi Dean!  I just wanted to be sure to send you an email telling you how AMAZING Mark Martin was for our wedding! I would estimate that I heard from AT LEAST 30 different people that the DJ was incredible. They loved his mix, they loved that the music wasn’t too loud, and they loved that he only spoke when necessary. He was everything and more than what we hoped for. Thanks so much for connecting us with him…! We’ll be working with you soon! Mr. and Mrs. Ryan and Shelby Bower ❤❤ Barn wedding at Grandma’s in Flushing for over 150 guests

Casey was amazing! Dean was so funny to talk to and such a great and reassuring person. DJs make or break weddings and Casey made ours amazing!! It was so hot and humid and he managed to keep our guests on the dance floor with his amazing songs and transitions. Thank you guys so much!!!!!!!! Kaitlyn Snyder

Hi Dean! DJ Keith was AMAZING! He kept the party going the entire night and the dance floor was never went empty! We loved his compassion for what he does and how sincere and “go with the flow” he was. We would definitely recommend you and Keith to anyone looking for a DJ for an event. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart!  About 250 Guests at the Genesys Conference & Banquet Center! Rebecca T.

Chuck was one of the best DJs I have ever had.  I am a wedding planner.  I will always use you, when the bride will let me!  You did an awesome job.  We had about 200+ Guests at a dry Wedding at the Knights of Columbus in Davison. Thank you….Debra Jackson

DJ Kim did an amazing job at our Wedding in Tawas! The ceremony was beautiful and his timing was perfect! He brought everyone together at the reception for dancing, sing along, joy and laughter! I didn’t even tell him which version of “Waltz Across Texas” I wanted and he nailed it with Ernest Tubb! My grandparents married 65 years won the longest married couple dance! During dinner the music was exactly what we imagined and he picked It! He made things easy and everything went smooth without any stress. His interactions with the crowd were witty and on point. He made us all feel like he was part of the family. Love you Kim! Dean also was a great person to talk to during planning. He put me at ease being a nervous bride! To sum it up, Dean and Kim are thoughtful, kind, supportive and so much fun! Thank You! With love, Joshua and Maegan Baldwin! Hello Dean! We had a blast at our wedding and Kim nailed It! Perfect timing at the ceremony and perfect blend of music at the reception. Thank you for making our special day so much fun! Sincerely, Joshua and Maegan B. – Tawas Bay Beach Resort Patio Wedding

Hello Dean, Scott Fray was a fantastic DJ at Julie & Josh’s wedding at the Drummond Island Resort! The set-up inside and outside, music playing while guests arrived, the cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing, went off without a hitch. He was easy to work with, was very attentive to the songs they wanted included at their wedding, and his guidance with the timeline was greatly appreciated. The dance floor was full the whole night, and everyone had a great time! Thank you,  Elyse M. (Mom) Troy MI – Drummond Island Resort & Conference Center  

Every single guest I talked to complimented Dean! Even days later I’m still being told that our wedding was the most fun our guests had been to, and it’s all thanks to the energy of our DJ. He kept the dancing going all night, and when people started making their way back to their chairs, he could bring them right back up again. My dad NEVER dances, yet he was on the dance floor almost all night! There was a great mix of songs, and our guests of all ages had lots of fun. We are seriously super happy that we chose Dean as our DJ. He made our wedding night unforgettable and was worth every penny and so much more. Heather Foster

I will start out by saying that I was the bride who thought we didn’t need a DJ–we knew some specific music we wanted, and were looking for someone who understood our tastes and expectations, and I even argued with my now husband that we could “just put on an iPod.” An iPod could not have saved our wedding. Casey did. Having a weather disaster during your outdoor reception (monsoon-like storm passed over at the beginning) is less than ideal for most couples, let alone vendors, but Casey absolutely outdid himself. Even when there was a power outage and his equipment was getting dripped on, he found a way to make things work and insisted on staying. Not only that, but he took the initiative to start playing some rain-themed music ahead of the usual dance events and everyone LOVED it. The dance floor became the high ground from the water, and people were there the entire night. Our reception would have absolutely fallen apart without his spirit and help. We were deeply grateful from the bottom of our hearts, and are preaching the gospel of Rusch to every engaged couple we know. I’d give fifty stars if I could. Tracy

We are extremely happy with our DJ!! Thank you so much for connecting us with Ryan Cooley. He took his time to research Russian traditions and songs I asked for, did a wonderful job narrating them. He took initiative and supplied a wireless mic for my soft spoken mother, coordinated finding a translator while I totally forgot about it (was busy) on the wedding day. He kept us on time which was huge for me! He was flexible with schedule changes too. It took a lot of stress off of my shoulders to have a responsible, easy going and polite DJ since I have planned the event all by myself. Many guests complimented the entertainment that night. Some said after the event “the DJ was great!” My fiance (husband now) noted that he was dressed very neat. We appreciate that as well. I also want to thank Corey personally for outstanding communication prior to event, answering all the questions I bombarded him with!. The uplighting was a great bonus! It made the venue look like a fairytale. We will be recommending Rusch to our friends! Again, thank you for everything! Sincerely, Kristina and Scott Fitzek – Little Traverse Bay Golf Club – Harbor Springs, MI

Matt went above and beyond to make sure our wedding reception was everything that we wanted it to be! Matt politely and professionally gave us reminders throughout the night when it was time to cut the cake, throw the bouquet and for the bride and her father’s dance. He took… Read More requests from guests, but also made sure that all of our guests were entertained by playing some classic rock for the parents/older crowd. Our dance floor was full up until the last song. He made sure to ask my husband and I what we wanted for the last song of the night, which was a nice gesture after playing 7 hours of music. I would highly recommend Matt to anyone who is looking for a professional, experienced DJ that is highly attentive to detail and does not try to make your reception about himself. We cannot thank Matt and Rusch enough for making our reception so much fun!! PS:  Matt  was Better than Expected – We had 10-20 compliments! Kaitlyn & Chad – 225 guests at the Doubletree Riverfront Hotel – Reviewed on 6/16/2016 – Posted on the knot

Hi Dean! Scott Fray was amazing!!! He played a nice variety of music so everyone could get out and dance. When our other daughter gets married we’ll be requesting him for their reception. Thanks for a fantastic evening Scott!!! Terri Wedding was at Vale Royal Farm, Fenton

Catie said Simply:    Incredible!!!!! Dueling Pianos/Comedy/Entertainers for Catie & Travis’s wedding in Ossineke with over 200 guests. 

Hi Aaron, You guys were absolutely amazing! Aaron, was Very knowledgeable and confident! We Appreciated everything you guys did for us!!! Brandon & Lisa C. – Wedding Ceremony & Reception Apple Mountain

Dean, I’m so glad you emailed. I was meaning to call for you specifically to rave about Matt! He did SUCH an incredible job DJ-ing and MC-ing our reception! He was so flexible and worked so well for us. We could very easily tell that he wanted the best for us and wanted to make our event perfect. His music selection was great, we could tell he was experienced, and he was just so easy and nice to work with. Even further, whenever we called anyone your employees were friendly and had all the info we needed in a timely manner. We are SO SO pleased and will definitely recommend Matt and your business to all of our friends! Blessings, Trevor and Kimberly Kimball

DJ Don was AMAZING and made our night so wonderful. He called a few days ahead to confirm details with us, which helped ease my mind and give me confidence before the wedding. From the moment we arrived at our reception, Don was there and was such a pleasure to talk to. He made the entire night special, took requests from guests, and if he got a request that conflicted with the form we filled out, he would check with myself or my husband before playing. He was incredibly helpful in working with my husband on a flash mob dance during the mother/son dance, which was great. The dance floor was packed all night, and my guests were raving about what an awesome music selection there was. Don closed the night with his own marriage advice, and had my husband and I dance again to our first dance song with our family and friends out on the dance floor. Overall, Don was AMAZING and I would highly, highly recommend Rusch for your wedding.

DJ Casey Rusch was our DJ for our June 3rd wedding at Jordan valley barn. He did not disappoint. The ceremony music was perfect, he was very helpful in coordinating with everyone for all of the important dances and keeping us on track, and kept the dance floor alive all night. Our guests really enjoyed themselves and commented on how great he was. Would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ for their wedding!

Hands down the best decision we could have made for a DJ. Rusch was great from the start. They had a super easy online form to fill out and was really helpful to bring things to our attention that we may have not even thought of. We got Corey as our DJ and he had everyone dancing and kept our dance floor packed the entire night! He was so professional and fun, did everything we asked of him and more! Corey definitely has an awesome talent of reading the crowd and figuring out the music that the crowd wanted to hear. Definitely would recommend them if you’re looking for a perfect DJ for an affordable cost!

We really enjoyed Rich, he was very easy to work with and good at keeping the party going! Thank you! Marci  – Knights of Columbus Bad Axe Wedding with about 350 Guests

If you want people dancing at your wedding, and great up lighting go with Rusch! We had Chuck and he was the best!!! He was so involved and got people on the dance floor and really made our reception fun the entire time! He’s so great to work with and we can’t say enough good things about him!

Kim was fun and experienced. Thank you for having part in our big day! Katie & Codie – with 300+ guests  Alpena Events Complex (Aplex)  

Hi Dean, Everything was awesome at my wedding at the Doubletree Riverfront Hotel! I would hire you all again in a heartbeat.

I would tell other brides: The staff was well experienced, you kept everything running on time. They got the party started and played an hour longer than expected because the guests were having such an amazing time. All of our guests are still talking about how much fun the wedding was. Between the MC’ing, photo booth, cake cutting, first dances, and keeping the guests on the dance floor it was everything we could imagine. Requests from guests were played, not long after requested. These guys really know what they are doing. We just let them run the show, they were the experts and it showed! We had a full dance floor until midnight! Thank you guys,  again! It was truly everything I wanted and then some! Nicole Pnacek & Adam

We had Aaron Liversedge as our DJ yesterday for our wedding. Can we just say AWESOME?!! Aaron is who we would call the epitome of a wedding vendor. He was there much earlier than we expected him to show up and he did everything we requested without needing to be prompted. He was there to help us with anything we needed, even if it didn’t fall in his purview as a DJ. He went above and beyond what is expected and I had so many guests come up and compliment what a fantastic DJ he was. There will definitely be many things that go wrong at a wedding, like ours did. You want someone like Aaron to be there for you for those types of situations. He was ABSOLUTELY the best hire we made for our wedding. He was the most helpful vendor we had and if I were to ever get married again (although I have no plans to do so), I would hire Aaron again in a heartbeat. PICK HIM! You won’t be disappointed. By the way, his uplighting is also amazing. We honestly have nothing negative to say about Aaron at all. If we could give him more than 5 stars we absolutely would.

Corey is FANTASTIC! He perfectly captured the mood of the party and kept it going all night long! Our ceremony music sounded wonderful out in the H hotel courtyard, and he had perfect timing for music during the reception. My husband was especially happy with the dinner music – a medley of songs by Wes Montgomery. We are thrilled and have been raving to friends and family about our wonderful experience with Rusch. Corey went above and beyond – I enjoyed getting to know him through the planning process and I felt like he genuinely cared for us and our wedding. We will be leaving five-star reviews on the knot/wedding wire and any other sites we can think of!  Thank you!! Jillian & Ben

Hi Dean, Scott Arnett was great! He made our night very special and kept the party hopping until the very last minute!! I loved that my guests were still rocking the dance floor until they turned the lights on! Highly recommend you guys to anyone planning a party! Thank you!  About 225 Guests at the Doubletree Riverfront Hotel & Conference. Lauren B. and Bryan S.

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Rusch Entertainment! Corey went above and beyond for my wedding! He not only kept the dancing going all night, but he also helped us a lot in the planning process, giving us suggestions and details we had not even considered. I feel like choosing the right DJ can make or break a wedding, and Corey made our night so spectacular! Seriously, was the best night ever! Thank you Corey and Rusch Entertainment for everything!!! Jennica – The Michigan League, Ann Arbor

Casey was AWESOME!!  We were so happy with how professional he was!  He had our dance floor packed all night!  Guests from the wedding downstairs were coming up to dance with us!  We had several compliments on how great he was! Thank you! Juliette and Tyler Young

Being a wedding photographer I get to experience and work with plethora of clients as well as entertainment DJs.  You have the one company who never fails to impress me, Dean.  Rusch Entertainment and Dean you rock! I am so glad you were there for my sister’s wedding, we had so much fun. I talked to her today and she wants to do it all over again; it was such an amazing reception, mostly because of you! After witnessing the passion you have for entertaining and music, it certainly projects onto the level of professionalism and how you interact with guests to ensure a positive, and fun environment. Stay awesome, Dean and if you ever want some more images from weddings we’ve rocked together just go to my website www.MomentsCapturedByVanessa.com.

I tell you what, I did not have one complaint from any of my guests the entire night about Corey and Rusch Entertainment. Corey was always coming to me to tell me how things would happen before he did them. He also played songs that people actually liked. I am beyond thankful that I booked this company as he created many memories for me and my wife. Even my groomsman who does not dance at all was out on the dance floor. Thank you Corey! I would highly highly recommend this company if you want to have a night for you and all your guests to enjoy. Jarrett – Forest Edge Banquet Center 

I am still getting compliments on my wedding, almost six months later. I attribute much of that to my DJ, Keith. It was like he just knew what the crowd wanted to hear while mixing in my must-haves throughout the night. There was always someone on the dance floor, most of the time it was a little crowded! I had a blast dancing the night away and I know my guests did too. Definitely would recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ. Was set up, waiting for us to arrive to the reception, went through everything with me a few days before. Rusch has a questionnaire that you fill out ahead of time that really gives you time to think through all of the music you want at your reception and what you definitely don’t want and can suggest music for different points at your reception. That was very helpful to us. I was super impressed and very happy with Keith. Thank you so much for making it a night to remember. Kelly and Erick B. – St. Demetrios Greek Orthodox Hellenic Ct.

Aaron was awesome! We had Aaron at our daughters wedding  in December. They loved him then too! When people came in for our sons wedding in March they were so excited we had him again!! He had the dance floor full till the last dance! Debbie Lougheed

Thanks to Rusch Entertainment for setting us up with Matt. He did a great job and was dressed appropriate for the occasion. DJ Matt made sure to check in with us throughout to ensure our celebration was perfect. The dance floor was PACKED the entire night! Heck of a way to ring in the New Year!  Thanks again!! Candice & Ryan – Porto Bello Italian Restaurant, Grand Haven – NYE Wedding!

Hi Dean Everything when great…. everyone loved Bill. He was very personal and great with the everyone!!!  Man was that photo booth a hit!!  I’m very happy we did that and she was great. The book she made was amazing. I keep looking threw it… thank you for everything and I will recommend you guys for anything!!!! Thanks again! (Bill Did my Sister’s wedding, too and was great with the names and knew what to play) We Loved it! Jeanette& Jacob, Merrill MI – The wedding of my dreams – Jonesfield Township Hall

Casey was incredible!! I think there were people on the dance floor the entire evening…even got the groom out there many times which isn’t easy to do. He was professional but fun, stuck to the schedule but also improvised at times that worked out well. I was afraid that our choice of mixing 80’s with new age music would be difficult to understand, but Casey was able to handle the task seamlessly. Also, the up-lighting looked absolutely amazing and really finished off the room.  The night wouldn’t have been as good as it was without Casey, and I am so glad that I chose you for our DJ and lighting services.   Thank you again! Andrea – Castle Farms Wedding! Jan 7, 2017

Words cannot express the amazing job Casey did DJing our wedding. Not only did he continuously check in throughout the planning process with my husband and I to ensure that our day was everything we wanted, Casey eased the nerves of this anxious bride with his kind, reassuring words that he would make this day as special as he knew it was to us. His display was fabulous: no wires or extension cables visible, which illustrated to me the time, effort and organization he put into our day. He also provided gorgeous up lighting at our venue; adding that extra elegance to the room that we desired. And what’s a wedding without dancing? Casey did an amazing job ensuring that guests did not leave the dance floor the entire night. I would highly recommend Casey and Rusch Entertainment for any event! Thank you for your amazing work! 200 Guests! Kelly

Hi Dean, Sorry I’m just getting to this but you did amazing! So happy we booked you!!!! My favorite part was each table being released by their favorite love song! The variety of songs was great and provided some wonderful laughs. Jasmin & Justin – Rosebush MI

Hi Dean,  Aaron was great! We were very happy and impressed with how our wedding reception went. We look forward to providing some rave reviews on the knot for Rusch Entertainment and highlighting Aaron.  Ballroon at McKay, Grand Rapids    Hope you are enjoying the holidays! Apologies for the delay. Adrienne B. –  University of Illinois | Urbana-Champaign Alumna

Hi Casey,  Thank you so much for doing a wonderful job at Maggie and Rob’s Wedding at the Temple last Friday night.  You did exactly what I wanted by playing music that would keep people dancing all night.  We all had a wonderful time, and as you well know a DJ can “make or break the party”!  You definitely “made it”! Thank you also for setting up the microphone for the wedding, and being on the spot with the microphone as we needed it at the reception.  I especially appreciated you being open to turning the music down during dinner so that people could carry on conversations.  I can’t tell you how many weddings we have attended  where we leave with a headache from yelling and not being able to hear the person we are talking to.  I also appreciate that you had a giant smile on your face the entire evening. You looked as if you were having fun too! I wrote you a glowing review on the Knot, and will recommend you to everyone I speak with who is planning a wedding.  We are still on a high from such a fun night.  Maggie tells me that you will be marrying soon. Congratulations, and I hope that you have as much fun at your wedding as we had at Maggie and Robs!   Thanks for doing a fabulous job for us! (The Mom!)  Over 200 Guests!

Very good DJ!!! Corey listens to all of your wants and needs. I got nothing but compliments the whole night on the music. Didn’t play one bad song. He set the tone for the reception and everything flowed together great. I wish I could get married again just to hear the music. Great job!!! Andrea

I had the pleasure of having Rusch Entertainment as my DJ service for my wedding. “DJ Joe” had called me a few days before my wedding to go over all of our pre-discussed details … name pronunciations … timelines … song choices … the works! Then on the day of the wedding, Joe found me right away when he arrived at the venue and ran thru everything again with me just to make sure that my day would be perfect. Everything from first booking with Rusch to the end of my wedding day was top notch. Rusch Entertainment and DJ Joe helped to create what I believe was the best day of my life. Randi

DJ Aaron was amazing!!! He went above and beyond making our wedding day very special!! I would highly recommend him and this company to do business with! Thank you, Rusch Entertainment!! Emily Holder

Dear Ken & Rusch Entertainment! Thank you so much for doing such a wonderful job with the entertainment and lighting for our wedding reception.  Our guests raved about the wonderful job DJ Ken did and we would recommend him to anyone!  THANKS Again! Nicole & Kyle Woods – Arbela Township Hall  (About 225 guests)

Hi Dean, First off I just have to say that DJ Garrett was absolutely amazing and made our night one to remember! He took the time to make sure all of our needs were met and that things were running smoothly. The ceremony music was perfect for what we had discussed and it tied the ceremony together nicely. For the reception, I couldn’t have asked for a better DJ! Garrett moved things along at a good pace and made sure to take cues from us as well. He kept the music going, even when there wasn’t a lot of people dancing. But that was ok because it ended up being the immediate family that stayed to the end on the dance floor with me and Garrett kept the party going as if it were a dance floor full of people! One of the best parts of the night was when it was getting late and Garrett taught us how to Time Warp! It was a blast!!! All in all, we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day and night and Garrett was an integral part of it. We now have someone to recommend if anyone ever asks for a DJ! Liz Bruett (Kuehn) & Frank Kuehn

Because we chose Rusch Entertainment for our DJ and photo booth service, our wedding night has been the talk of all family and friend events since. Our dance floor was completely full the entire night. DJ Kim kept our guests from ages 85 to 1 entertained the entire night. We also had an ongoing line at the photo booth the entire night. Again, all ages loved the photo booth. I would recommend Rusch entertainment to all of my friends and family.   Over 400 people at the Midland County Fairgrounds-Gerstacker Buliding! Beth and Luke

I could not have been more impressed with Michael Shae. Everyone keeps asking me how they can contact him to book him for their event as well. We have been to 5 weddings this year and Michael was by far the best. Thank you! Morgaen & Greg – Destination Wedding: From Fenton to Crystal Mountain Ski Resort Guests: 150 

PLEASING TWO GENERATIONS! Hi Dean, We only have excellent things to say about our business with Rusch Entertainment! The photo booth was such a hit and the photo book we got at the end is such a great memento. The DJ was AMAZING! Mark was so nice, professional, and talented. We got so many compliments on him and the music and he made the entire experience that much better. He played the perfect music during dinner and really knew how to keep the party going. Mark played our first dance song at the end and had everyone make a circle around us and it was my absolute favorite part of the evening. I could feel so much love from everyone and I’m so thankful that mark did that!! Thank you for everything! The new Mr. and Mrs. Patrick Kelly – About 250 Guests – Italian American Banquet Center

Hi Dean:   I just wanted to let you know that Mark did an outstanding job on Saturday for Patrick and Julie’s wedding.  He did a great job with playing music for all the ages and everyone had a great time.  I did let him know at the end of the night what a great job he did. We couldn’t believe how many people were still there when it was time to end.  He had everyone come out that was left and make a circle around Patrick and Julie and there had to be over 100 people still there.  The Photo Booth guys were awesome too. Thanks for taking care of us, it was great.

To All Couples and Wedding Planners, My new wife and I wasted little time in securing the band Ceyx from Rusch Entertainment to play at our wedding reception.  Ceyx has an incredible reputation in our region for being a fun, talented, sharp, party-starting band.  From playing on the same stage as national acts, to playing in various community events, Marybeth and I have always been impressed with Ceyx’s fun and versatile style of play. We were delighted to hear that Ceyx was available for our wedding date and immediately seized the moment to book them for our wedding reception entertainment.  The band leader, Dean, was kind enough to invite us to hash out relevant details a week or so before our event, and even coordinated extra pieces of audio/visual equipment to be used for our reception.  The rest was history!  Dean served as the MC for our reception and really got the party started while introducing the bridal party and announcing any relevant evening details. When looking for a fun, timeless, classy, and current band/DJ service for a wedding reception, Ceyx continues to uphold its reputation as the best around!  Marybeth and I love looking back at our wedding photos/videos and seeing all the guests entertained, dancing, and enjoying the night.  In conclusion, whenever we recommend a band or DJ, Ceyx from Rusch Entertainment is clearly our suggestion! Sam Penkala

Our DJ got switched at the last minute and I was a little nervous because I didn’t know anything about him.  The night ended up being perfect!  He got all of our song requests in, and the dance floor was packed the entire night. I had tons of compliments on how great the music and song selections were.  Everyone made a point to say it was one of the most fun weddings they had attended.  I had guests from as far away as California, Hawaii, Norway and Sweden and they all loved it! Thank you for a perfect night! Brian and Lori

We were very pleased with Joe – he did a fantastic job with our wedding! In our whirlwind of crazy – he was our rock – keeping the party going, keeping everything (and us) on schedule and giving us the guidance and suggestions to keep our guests having a great time! He took the helm and we didn’t have to worry about a thing and we could visit, dance and enjoy our evening and our guests. I had so many complements of him and the great job he was doing/did. He was very interactive with my guests and they loved him. He came in a stranger and left as part of the family! Don’t even give it a second thought – just book him and don’t look back – On your big day, you will be so very thankful you did! Barb & Ron S.

Hello Dean, Joe did FANTASTIC!!!   I had sooo many complements on his outstanding performance.   Many people were asking about him and I gave out quite a few referrals with contact info. Lots of complements regarding the interaction with the guests! His  fun activates such as the dinner service game (name the song and your table could go next to eat) and the musical chairs/scavenger hunt had everyone buzzing and were a hit! His daughter was the perfect assistant and lots of complements on the daddy/daughter team.   We had a very good retention all the way until closing time. My coordinator and bridesmaids commented on how they found his willingness to work with them & his easy last minute adjustments refreshing in all the chaos, and they were extremely appreciative of his helpful suggestions and direction.  It was great how he kept an eye on everything and made sure we were right on track and jumped right in and offered his professionalism and knowledge when needed.  I even had a few guests ask if he was a personal friend of ours, based on the communication between us all and the involvement with our bridal party.  I had many shocked responses when I told them it was actually our first time meeting each other. Watching our camaraderie and shenanigans, they couldn’t believe we were not old friends or family.  That in itself is a huge testament to his commitment and involvement with making our special day perfect in every way. We originally were planning an outdoor wedding, but due to mother nature, had to suddenly move indoors, which we had not planned for.  Joe and his daughter voluntarily jumped right in with my coordinator and decorator and offered another set of hands and super ideas to make the ceremony absolutely beautiful and come off without a hitch! Being an older crowd and with family and friends traveling from long distances and who haven’t been all together in over ten, twenty years – many stayed at the tables just because they were all talking and catching up on memories and stories.  However,  I noticed quite a few times ENTIRE tables singing all together, smiling, and the music selection based on the reaction of the crowd was very well played.  So, even though the dance floor may have not been packed every song, he definitely had the entire crowd involved and having a great time! I could just go on and on about how well Joe did and how pleased everyone was.  We can’t say enough good things about his professionalism, assistance and service. On a scale of 1 – 10, Joe is an Eleven! Bravo!   Barb  & Ron  D.

Dean, Corey did an amazing job on 8/19/16. My husband and I have received so many compliments on your ability to keep the dance floor packed. You guys as always have gone above and beyond to make our wedding day special. Corey kept people dancing until the end of the night. His ability to read the crowd was what made the night all that much better. I will undoubtedly refer you to anyone I know looking for entertainment. I can’t thank you enough for all of your hard work. I love the quality of service from Rusch Entertainment. You guys are amazing keep do what you do. Thank you for the great experience.

My wife and I did our research when looking for a good DJ, and even with all that research, the initial stages were a bit stressful. Much of that stress was finally removed from the equation when a few of our friends referred Rusch Entertainment (and DJ Casey). Leading up to the wedding, the offices were very easy to talk to and they were extremely accommodating (DJ Casey drove from Saginaw to Grand Rapids because we requested him). Their pre-wedding form dotted every “i” and crossed every “t.” Finally, the dance floor was rocking all night long. I think that’s always a couple’s biggest concern: will my guests be having a great time with the music. Ours did, and the night was unforgettable.

Hi Aaron! Thank you for a wonderful night!   It was so great to finally meet you, and you did an excellent job—who knew you’d also help me through the buffet line?!   We enjoyed the night. It was quick, as we knew it would be, but the music was fun. You made an excellent impression on all of our guests. Thank you for being a part of the day!   

Dean, You did a great job at keeping the dance floor completely packed and playing a variety for everyone there. Thank you so much for creating a fun and exciting tone for a special night! Ashley and Tyler Dean, Thank you for your great work tonight. Keeping the party going and working with us to help make this day special! Chris and Jackie Dean, Thank you for all your help planning for our special day! Thank you also for making our party so special for not only me, but also for my dad. Jeff and Kelly

Dear Dean, Thank you so much for making our big day so awesome. You were a blast and all of our guest had a great night. Thank you for all of your work. We will highly recommend you to others. Thanks, Alyssa and Collin

Dear CEYX, Thank You so much for performing at our wedding reception. We has numerous positive comments from our guests on your music and song selection. We especially appreciated the pretend instruments you brought for the kids to play with. They loved it and were so fun to watch out on the dance floor. Also, thank you for taking charge of the reception and helping it flow smoothly. I was able to relax and not worry about the details because you took care of everything! Lauren and Mark

Dean and CEYX, You were amazing! Compliments everywhere! You really made our Carrie’s wedding a fantastic party. News is traveling and you should be booked solid for years!! Mom of Bride

Michael and Dean, As our new life starts as husband and wife, we would like to say thank you! Our guests had so much fun at the reception dancing! We enjoyed working with you and you made everything so easy and organized for us. Our uplighting was absolutely beautiful and you did a great job. Michael keeping everyone out having a great time out on the dance floor. we sincerely thank you for being a part of our special day and making our dreams come true! Ashley and Chuck

Dean,  I just wanted to extend my sincerest gratitude for the services Casey provided.  He was an absolute professional, he was fun to work with, he was extremely receptive, and best of all, he had the crowd dancing all night long.  Kelly and I cannot thank Casey enough for being such an intricate piece of the puzzle that made our night unforgettable. All the best,   Kelly & Avelino Cortez  – The Cheney Place ( The Web said we were Grand Rapids BEST!  It looks like Avelino is happy he found us!)

Keith did an outstanding job as our wedding reception’s DJ.  Here are a few of the specific things we appreciated: 1) He made sure to correctly pronounce the names of all members of the bridal party. 2) Keith honored our wishes and helped create the atmosphere we desired at all points in the reception.  He read the party well and maintained a great flow through the reception’s schedule. 3) He played music to satisfy all age groups.  The dancing was lively all night long, and Keith stayed until the very end of the party. 4) When the time came for key events (toasts, cake cutting, first dances), Keith was prompt in finding the Bride and Groom and making sure the reception stayed on schedule. 5) He cut out things we ended up not having time for, such as the dollar dance, while maintaining the essential pieces of the reception. 6) Keith worked well with the venue’s staff. Keith was a superlative DJ, and we were very grateful to have hired him.  We would not have wanted him to do anything differently! Thanks so much, Keith! Erik & Laura Bates

Dean, Aaron was AWESOME to say the least. He not only did a terrific job all night of keeping the dance floor full, he kept everything on time and moving along. I’ve been to a lot of weddings that aren’t managed very well and can say that our’s rocked! (Even if there is bias in that statement.) Mackenzie and I were both very impressed. Thank you both for everything! MacKenzie & Brandon B – St. Demetrios Greek Orthodox Hellenic Center

Dean,  You did amazing! Everyone was so impressed and had so much fun. We had several guests come up to us to let us know that they had never seen so many people on the dance floor or a DJ with so much energy. My cousin asked for your info for her wedding that she is in the process of planning for next year.  Thank you so much for keeping everyone excited and partying all night. It was wonderful.  (200+ guests & you had the dance floor packed until the end!!) Sincerely, Emily & Steven, The H Hotel

Our wedding day was genuinely the best day of our lives- and we have DJ Corey to thank for that! First, Corey drove out to the middle of the woods with all of his top-of-the-line equipment in order to provide our evening entertainment. We thought we might have trouble getting someone to commit to a non-traditional wedding setting, but he heard our story and agreed to help us out! The music planning process was a breeze. After filling out our preferences a month ahead of the event, Corey contacted me the week of the wedding just to go through everything one last time- easing the mind of a very anxious bride 🙂 The day of the wedding, Corey was a gem. In addition to showing up early to play music for our guests, he helped coordinate with the caterers to ensure that everything ran smoothly, kept us on time, and even did small (but largely appreciated!) things like offer to refill drinks for the head table. However, the best part of the night was when the dancing started. Our dance floor was absolutely packed- the ENTIRE night. At several points in the evening, my new husband and I sat back to observe the dance floor, and we were just glowing with happiness about how great of a time our guests were having. We have heard nothing but compliments regarding the entertainment, and remarks such as “I haven’t seen a dance floor that packed, and packed through the whole night, in decades!”. Corey does a great job fielding requests from guests, but also is gifted in his ability to read the crowd and play whatever songs will keep them having a great time! We are so grateful for Corey, and I will absolutely recommend him (or any member of the Rusch team) to any couple looking to make their wedding the best day of THEIR lives.

Party was awesome. Our DJ Bill did a great job. We were very happy with everything and he was very professional. Awesome experience. Over 120 people! Samantha  & Chas – Outside wedding in Kawkawlin, MI

The wedding was wonderful and Casey did a marvelous job! I can’t imagine having a more fun and energetic DJ! Thank-you again!! Danielle Dymora  – Castle Farms  –  West Garden Room – Wedding Reception and Ceremony

Matt went above and beyond to make sure our wedding reception was everything that we wanted it to be! Matt politely and professionally gave us reminders throughout the night when it was time to cut the cake, throw the bouquet and for the bride and her father’s dance. He took requests from guests, but also made sure that all of our guests were entertained by playing some classic rock for the parents/older crowd. Our dance floor was full up until the last song. He made sure to ask my husband and I what we wanted for the last song of the night, which was a nice gesture after playing 7 hours of music. I would highly recommend Matt to anyone who is looking for a professional, experienced DJ that is highly attentive to detail and does not try to make your reception about himself. We cannot thank Matt and Rusch enough for making our reception so much fun!! Kaitlyn & Chad – Doubletree Riverfront Hotel

Thank You so much for being the perfect DJ at my sons and daughter-in-laws wedding, June 4 @ LFA Hall. You had the guests dancing longer than any wedding I can remember in recent years. You were not a show hog; but blended into the background and let your work, professionalism, and music do the talking. The volume was perfect, not to loud-just right! Great Job! Ann Roedel

Casey was absolutely amazing! Everything went so good, very easy to communicate with before the wedding. We will definitely be referring you to everyone we can! He did well with a few things that didn’t go as planned! Thank you so much!    Thank you! (Casey’s Dad (Dean) entertained at mom’s wedding 9-19-87 in Bay City!! Sara & Cory – Bavarian Inn Lodge  

Dean, we want to tell you how happy we were with Aaron being our DJ for our wedding reception. He is so insightful, considerate, helpful, and gracious. He gave us a wonderful experience and memory of a great evening with friends and family. We would definitely recommended your company and Aaron. Ruth and Brian

Casey was the DJ at our wedding at Castle Farms. He was AMAZING! Rusch Entertainment as a whole was great to work with, fast communication, and he worked flawlessly with us to make sure everything was perfect. Rusch Entertainment is on the “preferred provider” list at Castle Farms, so that is how I was connected with them. It is hard to pick a DJ when it is such an important element of a wedding, but I am so thankful I chose them and I am so happy we were given Casey as our DJ. Thanks Rusch for helping making our day perfect and keeping our dance floor alive! 🙂 Stephanie W.

There’s a lot to be said for the big name in town… Rusch Entertainment really does shine above the rest. As a photographer there are things about DJ’s that really stand out… their ability to pack the dance floor for those couples and party shots, and their willingness to keep the laser light show at bay until your precious first dance and family moments are caught on film. Dean, the patriarch of the Rusch family is an entertainer through and through. He has an amazing way with people, and standard that his family and employees live up to on a nightly basis. Always forward thinkers, not sitting on the old stand by that “if it works don’t fix it”. So if you can’t guarantee the man, the myth, the legend himself, his son’s Casey and Corey, and Micheal Jesse are all favorites that bring the party! Black Sheep Chic Photography – Leslie Gauthier

Corey was amazing!  He took care of the music for us at our ceremony and the reception since they were at the same venue.  He was very attentive before the date to make sure I didn’t have any questions, concerns or changes that needed to be made, and was attentive the day of as well.  Corey kept our friends and family on the dance floor from 8:00-12:00.  There was never a time that there wasn’t at least a handful of people dancing.   A couple of times I looked up and the floor was packed, and the dance floor wasn’t big enough to hold everyone (though it is a large dance floor at the Forest Edge in Freeland where we were married).  He did a great job with mixing things up but doing it in a way that flowed very nicely.  Everyone complimented on what a great time they had and how much they enjoyed the music. Thank you so much Corey!!
