Satyr Entertainment

My wife and I were planning our huge wedding for over 200 people and she was in charge of every single detail… all except one. Picking the DJ was my one and only thing that I had control over. Full disclosure, I am a wedding DJ as my own small business. Not as big as this company, but I have DJ’ed over 100 weddings and when it came to picking a DJ I was so very picky. Who could I trust to do as good as a job as I could? I saw Andy DJ a friends wedding a year earlier and was very impressed. I wasn’t the greatest of clients, because I had a very specific idea of what songs to play and when to play them. Most brides picture their perfect day, but I didn’t picture most anything except the music. Since I met my wife, every song I heard I thought about putting in our wedding. Andy met with me and took every single request and understood how I wanted it to be done. He kept «our song» a secret from my wife to be so I could make it even more special. I left him with some room to figure out which songs would fill where I didn’t and was very impressed. He was even able to get a generator for the outdoor wedding so we wouldn’t blow a fuse. I have heard from dozens of people how amazing the music and how it flowed throughout the evening. I feel I have a lot to do with it, but Andy made it professional and brought all the songs together and added where I couldn’t. If I can’t DJ a wedding, I certainly recommend Andy and Satyr. Thanks for a wonderful night I will never forget!

I wrote the following review in Wedding Wire, but I wanted to include it on Unilocal for those who are looking for DJs outside of the wedding reception world:
We are thrilled that we used Satyr Entertainment for our wedding reception. Andy was our DJ, and he was friendly and communicative during planning as well during the reception itself. Andy had no problem with some of our crazier requests, which included playing Swahili music during the dinner portion of the evening (as well as for some of the dancing) and partaking in pub-​style trivia (including a dance-​off when two tables tied for first place)! He even went the extra mile to snip the songs to ten-​second clips so we could have a music round. Our guests are still raving about the trivia segment as well as our «amazing DJ,» and I was even contacted by several of the local guests for Andy’s contact information. The reception would not have been the same without Satyr, and we have great memories from the evening thanks to Andy!

Satyr Entertainment provided the music for my wedding (ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception), and I can’t say enough good things about Andy. He went above and beyond for us, and helped make our wedding perfect!
He is responsive to emails, prompt, professional, and incredibly warm and friendly. He worked closely with the wedding coordinator to make sure that they had shared all the pertinent details, had a solid timeline, and generally kept things running smoothly. He even came to our rehearsal to make sure that everything would be correct the next day.
For the ceremony, he actually created a song for us when we were having trouble picking recessional music; my husband and I liked the opening flourish of one song, but the main body of a different song, so Andy beautifully blended them so we could have the best of both! It was exactly what we imagined, and he provided it when we didn’t even think it was possible.
He was great at the reception as well. He kept the music happy and upbeat, focusing mainly on the music that my husband and I told him we liked. He also is great about abiding by the «Do NOT Play» list, if you ask him. The reception was a ton of fun, and Andy did an excellent job of keeping peoples’ energy up and making people want to be on the dance floor all night. It was great! He worked in all the dances/​activities we’d asked for, without ever breaking the natural flow of energy at the reception.
I highly recommend Andy!

Loved this company! Andy is amazing! Seriously everyone after my wedding came up & talked about how great the DJ was! If you are getting married or have an event coming up use them! Everyone was dancing all night long & what I liked is that he kept everyone in the know. Everytime there was something about to happen (cutting the cake, etc) he would announce «After two songs they will be doing this.» It really helped! I recommend!

I couldn’t be happier with our choice to use Satyr Entertainment for our wedding. The DJ is the real make or break of a wedding. Though the prices were a little on the higher side, which they let you know upfront, I would have paid twice as much after our experience. We gave them a rough idea of what sort of music we like to dance to and let them take the reins from there. The dance floor was never empty! They kept in mind the different age groups of our guests and also moved the night along on a flexible schedule that went seamlessly. They were friendly, professional, and fun! Satyr Entertainment is a must have!

I could not be happier with the services provided by Satyr Entertainment. The DJ was very gracious and had an unbelievable amount of selections for requests. Very professional and well done.

Two words sum Andy and his team up perfectly: «Professional Excellence.»
Andy and his company «Satyr Entertainment» came highly recommended from our photographer, but being wary of the «corny DJ» we had to see for ourselves. We scheduled a meeting with him and our initial impression was extremely favorable. He went above and beyond to understand the feel of our wedding and it was obvious that his inner artist wanted to understand the concept we were trying to achieve. He was anything but corny, and we were instantly assured that he would be a value added necessity for our special day.
Once we settled on a venue he made the (long) trip out to scope the scene, and provided his professional recommendations on setup, and even coached us based on his vast experience with what works. As a military couple, when my orders inevitably changed and a deployment forced us to change our wedding date, the team at Satyr were extremely understanding and worked with us as we, (i.e. my now wife), restarted the planning process.
Leading up to the wedding, we met again at the venue and made some last minute lighting additions based on Andy’s recommendations. The end result was absolutely fantastic. The wedding itself went flawlessly; there was not a single audio/​visual snafu, and Satry expertly worked the crowd and the flow. Like a chameleon, Andy blended in perfectly, yet nurtured the atmosphere with just enough «DJ.» His transitions were excellent, he followed our timeline to a T, and the dance floor was packed for the entire night.
We couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome, and Satyr Entertainment was instrumental in making it happen! Thank you again for everything!
**Highly RECOMMENDED**

Luke Bishop and associates – Scotty, Rham, and Andrew – at Satyr were so helpful and so much fun at our daughter Jillian’s wedding in 2011 that the very first thing I thought of when my daughter Anica Rose announced her engagement was, «I have to get Luke!» The date, location, food – none of those things was as important to me as scheduling the event around Satyr’s availability. That’s how much I love and trust this group.
Satyr came through for us in a big way again. Anica’s 8÷10÷13 wedding really put the guys to the test. They provided sound equipment, processional/​recessional music, and a cool confetti cannon out under our festive outdoor tent, and when a rare, intense Arizona summer microburst storm blasted the wedding, pounding the party with almost two inches of rain in an hour, which blew through the tent sideways with 50 mph wind gusts, Luke and company got soaked to the bone – and never missed a beat. They supported the wedding group and guests with panache and enthusiasm. Satyr’s high spirits in what could have been a disaster helped keep the soggy guests cheerful.
Satyr set up and got the reception activities going smoothly, seamlessly, and on time, looking sharp (and dry!), as if the rain storm had never occurred. Satyr not only effortlessly handles a broad range of musical tastes, but they also know how to perk up an audience. At most weddings I’ve been to, the guests sit listlessly and politely ignore the music. Satyr, on the other hand, gets its audiences up and dancing, and otherwise actively participating in various festivities throughout the night. Luke, Scotty, Rham, and Andrew are performers as much as organizers and emcees, singing and dancing and interacting in warm and funny ways with the guests. Someone in our group requested the music from Grease, for example, and the Satyr guys led guests through a fast, hilarious pantomime of the entire musical. We couldn’t have had more fun.
I give Satyr my highest recommendation. They are highly professional, knowledgeable, flexible, patient, sensitive, and personable. I can hardly wait for our son Tristan to find a significant other, just so we can have another party with Luke and the gang.

I used this company for a large corporate event at a hotel in Tucson. They were very professional, on time and went above and beyond to help me. They gave me excellent ideas that made the event even more special. Their team was polite and hard working and their sets and equipment were amazing. I was most impressed by the integrity they showed about their work. They wanted to do a good job and they wanted the people at the event to have a great time. I will definitely use this company again.

I worked super closely with Satyr Entertainment on a recent large scale event, Unilocal’s Pley Date… ahem, and although my rating hasn’t changed (I couldn’t imagine it ever changing), it’s an worth an update! Whether you’re an event organizer, planning your own wedding, need assistance with lighting and sound Satyr has got you covered. Andy is totally professional and skilled. He’s prepared to answer your questions and find solutions to pretty much anything whether it was planned or just a bump in the road on the event day. You can put your event in their hands and they will execute beyond your expectations. What makes Satyr even more awesome is their versatility, which I’ve mentioned in my previous review. With their deep knowledge about the industry they’re really an asset to first time event planners. Andy and his team keep your vision in mind and make sure that all of your needs are met.
Planning a party for over 300 people can be stressful, so why not ease some of the stress and anxiety and work with a group of people who are there to help! I recommend Satyr to anyone out there that’s planning an event whether it’s a graduation ceremony, a corporate event, a wedding or any other social gathering. It simplifies things even more when you can work with group that does the lighting, sound, music and DJ services, which was the case for my event. They also do scenic and prop design for events. Andy is the man. Aside from being an honest and trustworthy professional he’s really fun! He listens to your needs 100%. Ever been to an event or a wedding where the music was just wrong and borderline inappropriate? I didn’t have to worry about any of that either.
Plus, Satyr is locally owned and operated!

Andy is the man, I work with this guy on a routine basis; he delivers!
Weddings**, parties, etc., Andy is professional and skilled. Not only does he bring the music, but he can also make a room beautiful with his lights.
Bottom line: he keeps the crowd moving and gets the job done!
**Highly recommended.

Luke is the guy I always deal with, and he is all about service and taking care of business. They are always on time and very professional. I can call Luke anytime and will show up even on short notice. The sound is good and always the center for great event, I would not think of calling anybody else. The next time you have a party call these guys you will not be disappointed.

Very unprofessional. Workers sometimes surly. Gear is not so good either.
