I've booked Entertainment Unlimited three times now for my company's Christmas party and each time has been a great success. In both 2017 & 2018 I booked the casino tables, it was a big hit! In 2018 I also booked a caricature artist not knowing if this would be a success or not, people LOVED him, you wouldn't believe the line. This year I booked David the magician, he was a trip! Very low key, just strolled through the party doing tricks for groups as they mingled.
His stuff was both impressive and fun/funny to watch. I highly recommend booking entertainment with Entertainment Unlimited, they're easy to work with, straightforward and always put on a great show.

My husband and I chose to use a DJ from Entertainment Unlimited for our wedding and we were extremely pleased with the excellence that was provided! EU was straightforward, efficient, and very helpful in making wedding planning as easy as possible. Scott Alexander was our DJ for the wedding reception and not only was he extremely receptive to the wedding guests the night of, but he was also very detailed in making sure he fulfilled every request we wanted out of the evening. Scott not only knows music, but he also knows people, and that made all the difference in having such a fantastic evening. Our wedding guests continue to tell us they cannot remember the last time they danced that much and how fun they had that evening. Definitely recommended.

Thank you once again to The Lava Game! We had such a great experience and such great feedback from our fundraiser last year, that we brought them back again. The dance floor was packed all night and we were told by multiple event guests that they were one of the best cover bands they have ever seen! I highly recommend them. Entertainment Unlimited is always a pleasure to work with.

PJ Riel was the DJ that we booked for our wedding from Entertainment Unlimited. He was phenomenal! He kept the event moving and was very courteous throughout the whole night. He was great about checking in to make sure we were having a good time and letting me know when it was time to do the next event. The music was great and my guests and I danced all night! I would recommend him to anyone that needed a DJ for their event!
Entertainment Unlimited was fine to work with, but I felt it took a long time for the office / my sales rep to get back to me. I also did not like that my sales rep called me by the wrong name twice in emails after I had corrected him. This might be small, but I thought it was rude to do that to your customer!

Our company had a Casino themed holiday party in December 2017. It was fabulous from the first call to Entertainment Unlimited through clean-up following the party. Michelle was a pleasure to deal with and always available. The dealers and other attendants were professional, super friendly and fun! One top-notch company to work with!

We used Entertainment Unlimited for our Wedding. Our DJ was DJ Sosa. He was absolutely the perfect the DJ. Seriously, weeks after our wedding, our friends are still talking about how on point the DJ was. He was really easy to work with and was able to pick up our likes and dislikes really quickly. A 60 minute call was all we needed with him to get almost everything setup. The day of the wedding, he showed up and setup in the background.
I barely even noticed him around. Then when it came time to do the introductions and stuff, he confirmed everything with us. Even though we had some last minute changes, he was able to accommodate. Check out the picture, even the kids were having a blast! Thanks DJ Sosa and Thanks Entertainment Unlimited for making our once in a life time night perfect!

Entertainment Unlimited put on a Casino Fundraiser Party at the Pittsburgh Business Show in April. The event was excellent! My whole company had a blast playing cards at the casino tables. All of the dealers were professional and very fun to be around. We had a great time and I hope that I can have the opportunity to attend another one of these casino events!
