Allen Walker Entertainment

DJ Allen Walker was heaven sent.
My original DJ fell through the week of. I know, every bride’s worst nightmare, that is, until DJ ALLEN WALKER saved the day. He was very organized, patient and calmed this Bride’s nerves! We had the Best Man play our first dance on the guitar. DJ ALLEN WALKER knew which cords/​hookups we needed. We had a compilation of home videos playing during our cocktail hour. DJ ALLEN WALKER provided the second laptop to play it on! He was extremely professional, reasonably priced and was respectful of both our and our guest’s requests. He had something for everyone and really adjusted to how the crowd responded to the music.
He did not ‘steal the show’ but made announcements/​used the microphone when necessary and did a great job at that. We had our wedding at the Admiral Kidd Club which was very strict.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND for those getting married on the base. And HIGHLY RECOMMEND for those getting married period.
He was a blessing!!!

I am so excited to write this review, and to see that Allen has the 5 stars he deserves. I booked him as my wedding DJ and he was absolutely incredible. Leading up to my wedding, I asked him what all he needed from me and he always responded very promptly. He sent me a clip of the song that I wanted to walk down the aisle to to ensure it was the exact song I wanted which meant so much to me. For before the ceremony and during cocktail hour, I sent him a short list of songs I wanted to be played. He was able to take that vibe of music and fill in all of the blanks. Oh, after the bouquet/​garter toss, he had the girl and guy that caught both do something together and it was so hilarious! You don’t want your wedding to be stressful and you don’t want to worry about vendors. So choose the best ones. I 100% recommend Allen Walker Entertainment.

Allen is simply amazing! He was our DJ for our wedding on 10÷18÷15 at Marina Village. He was very helpful when it came to planning and so easy to work with. Our guests loved his energy and song selection, everyone was dancing the night away! Every song we requested was played! I would highly recommend Allen!

We hired DJ Allen for our wedding and let me tell you, we were not disappointed! He played everything we requested and more! He went out of his way to ask us if we needed anything and brought us some cocktails while we were taking our picture!
We were very impressed with Allen! He is very kind, professional, responds in a timely manner and goes above and beyond to make your event special!
He pays keen attention to detail, suprised me by showing up dressed in our wedding colors, brought special lights that lite up the dance floor and the room! They were so fun and such a great touch! I couldn’t stop dancing because the music so good! People from other events in the same location kept coming by our wedding reception and dancing to the music outside because it was that good! Everyone around wanted to be apart of it, so I invited some strangers in to join in the dance party! Everyone was very impressed with him as were we and I would highly recommend hiring him for any event! You will not be disappointed!
Thanks again Allen! You Rock!

Great DJ! wonderful communication, and played everything we requested!
Would recommend to anyone!

The one thing people kept telling us was that we had to pick our wedding DJ carefully. It was even suggested that we meet with a few DJs and interview them. That sounded like too much work to me, so we just emailed a few and I could tell from his response that Allen would be great to work with. He suggested that we meet or skype, but I never took him up on it. Allen did a great job with the very little direction that we gave him. The music was perfect and he wasn’t at all cheesy or annoying like some wedding DJs are. Thank you, Allen!

We have Allen dj our wedding and he did a great job! He is a fast communicator and did everything we asked! My husband wanted to pick out every piece of music that was played. Allen did just that and didn’t have a problem with it. He wasn’t the showy dj that took over the wedding either. I’d highly recommend Allen Walker!

My husband and I got married in October at the San Diego zoo. While Allen was extremely nice and easy going during the planning process, I felt like a few things were not up to par on the day of. The ceremony music was all correct and went perfect. I was disappointed to hear my bouquet toss song during dinner. He was not very boisterous and exciting. He didn’t really do anything or say anything at all. He didn’t do the typical important dj stuff like pumping up the vibe and getting everyone dancing. At the end of the night he came up to me asking me about getting paid when my dad and mom were taking care of that. You should never approach a bride about money. It kind of ruined the vibe for me at the end of the night. I had an amazing wedding but I do think if those few things had been fixed it would have been even better. The party vibe and flow was just a little boring and maybe even lack luster at points. No hard feelings. His prices were great and I hope he takes this review as things to improve on to make someone else an even better and more exciting special day.

Our wedding was last week and Allen was our DJ. Early on in the planning process, we decided that we didn’t want to micromanage our vendors, and so we trusted Allen to take great care of us during our reception, and he delivered!!! Our guests had a ton of fun. Our only request of Allen was a couple of special songs and that the rest be appropriate for all audiences. He was professional, on time, played well to the crowd, and was very responsive. He was a wonderful DJ and we highly recommend him for any event.

About 2 weeks ago Allen was the DJ at my wedding at Twin Oaks Garden in San Marcos. I am so incredibly happy with how everything went (not only with the day-​of, but with everything leading up to the wedding!). Allen was ALWAYS extremely quick to reply to any emails or calls I had. When organizing my wedding, I booked everything about 16 months in advance… and for 16 months Allen followed up with me and never got annoyed with my (probably too far) in advance planning. In the days and weeks leading up to the wedding, if there were any little items I hadn’t mentioned, such as what song I wanted playing during the garter toss or what song to play during the cake cutting, he reached out to me to make sure he had the information. I hadn’t even thought of some of these items so it was really nice that he proactively reached out to me! Overall, my wedding was fantastic. He played excellent music (I heard every song i had requested as a ‘must play’) and he was so incredibly easy to work with. I would recommend Allen to anyone!
One last thing! I had requested that when I walk down the aisle, he play a mix of two songs. One for about 1.5 minutes and then switch songs when I got to the top of the aisle. This was because the first song was one of my favorites and the 2^nd was one of my husband’s favorites. I was really anxious about this because I wanted it to be a smooth transition without it seeming weird. Allen did this flawlessly and I was so happy with how the entrance went!

Allen was the DJ at our wedding and we couldn’t be more pleased with his services. His price included set-​up in two locations and 16 LED up-​lights. Our first meeting in person was when we arrived at the reception venue after the ceremony… talk about trust! The place really looked great. The LED lights set the mood and the DJ station /​gear was setup in a very clean & professional way. We provided very limited instructions on song selection but Allen was able to understand the mood we were going for and he took care of the rest, every song was perfect. We did have a few very specific requests as far as when to start and stop certain songs and Allen nailed each one. If you are in need of a DJ, look no further. Allen came highly recommended and he did not disappoint.

I can’t believe my wedding is over. I am 100% satisfied with DJ Allen! The entire event was flawless. He followed my timeline perfectly and made sure not to play the songs on my do not play list unless I approved it! He got the party going but didn’t steal the show. His music choices blended well with our choices! My family and friends raved about him! He brought his own up lighting that went perfectly with my wedding colors! His prices are extremely reasonable and he is very professional and quick with responding to any questions I had! I loved DJ Allen and highly recommend him!!! Thanks for bringing the party to life and creating such an emotional celebration for us! We will never forget it!

Allen DJ’d our wedding a couple of weeks ago, and he did an excellent job. I was immediately comfortable booking him due to his professional demeanor and prompt responses via phone and email.
Allen ran the background music for the cocktail hour and dinner (we gave him a short list so that he knew our style, but he handled it from there and it was perfect). He moved seamlessly into the second location that we had for dancing. He took song requests (initially I was wary of what our guests might request) but it really ended up fun for people to hear their favorites and I think it probably ended up getting more people on the dance floor. My family loves to dance and everyone was happy with the music.
Allen made announcements when necessary but otherwise kept quiet, rather than trying to make it his own show. He threw in some beautiful lighting that added to the mood, AND his rates are highly competitive.
It was great to have a vendor like Allen that we didn’t have to worry about or micromanage all night — we knew he would do a great job and he delivered. That sort of thing makes the night so much more relaxing and enjoyable for the bride and groom. Thanks Allen!

Allen is the consummate professional. We met several months before the wedding. About a month before the wedding we provided our music selections via his website (a lot of special request Persian music including the knife dance). He coordinated flawlessly with a vocalist we had for the processional. He was
very sensitive to the mood of the reception. When we wanted fast he was fast when things needed to slow down he anticipated our needs. My best (shortest) description is the Allen is «on it»!

Allen Walker helped make our wedding the stuff of dreams back in March. Even from when we first met, we were struck by his enthusiasm and professionalism. Allen accommodated all of our requests and was very flexible with how events played out during our reception. He had an awesome rate and even helped do sound for our ceremony. He did a wonderful job, and even though he wasn’t on our venue’s recommended list before, he was included as a preferred vendor after. He’s that good, and more.
Thanks Allen!

I am from western New York and our wedding was on New Year’s Eve in San Diego.
We never had a chance to meet Allen before the wedding, but we had constant correspondence with him over a 5 month period. He played everything we asked for from our play list and more. He was awesome… Very professional and extremely accommodating… thank you Allen for making our wedding so special!!!

I couldn’t be happier with Allen!!!
He was awesome, really attentive and accommodating.
We met a few months before and he went over the details. You can chose songs on his website but he is always said he is available to meet with us if we needed.
My family lives in Brazil and i was suppose to select some brazilians songs, I ended up forgetting to do that, but at the reception Allen surprised me with some brazilians songs. I was really happy about that.
Also, many of our guest (including me, the bride and my new husband) requested songs and he had no problem playing them.
He was really polite and professional during the announcements and he followed the timeline/​requested songs for specific events as I wanted.
I also hired him to do some up-​lighting and slideshow. Both services really well done.
My husband and I extremely recommend him!

If you’re looking for a wedding DJ, look no further. Allen was the MC/​DJ of our wedding over Labor Day weekend. He was friendly, prompt, professional. I have been to so many weddings where the DJ was corny or too quiet or too crass or too over-​the-​top. Allen was none of these things. There were a few small details we requested and he didn’t miss one. Our ceremony was outdoors and I was very concerned about the guests being able to hear the ceremony. He had it all taken care of and even guests in the back were impressed how good the ceremony sounded.
I envisioned a night full of dancing and fun and Allen was able to deliver! It’s no easy task when you have guests from 4 to 84, but he made the entire group happy. I can’t thank Allen enough for being such an important part of my perfect day.

We had the privilege of working with Allen Walker at our wedding last week and can only say great things about Allen! He is professional, personable, friendly, and infused so many cultures into the music at our reception. He is able to read the crowd and choose songs that match the mood to keep the music rolling and the people dancing.
I can only say positive things about Allen and would recommend him for any event that needs an amazing DJ! Thank you Allen!

If you want to create your own playlist too, Allen’s database is simple to use and a great way to organize your musical thoughts! A +

I coordinated a wedding for a friend this past weekend, June 15. Having never done this before, I was decidedly nervous about making sure everything went splendidly. My main concern was the music, for ceremony and reception, as previous weddings I had attended as a guest had less than stellar DJs. Not DJ Allen. He arrived two full hours before agreed upon, so he could set up his equipment and make sure everything was up to par. He wanted to make sure his booth as well as his lights looked attractive and fit the wedding theme.
My first wedding went so well, specifically because of the professionals who were involved. Allen was ready with any changes to the itinerary that came along (wedding beginning late, extra family walking down the aisle, bride and groom being announced at a different time than originally planned, etc.) He was the consummate professional, and I would definitely work with him again should I coordinate another party!
