Rusch Entertainment

DJ Storm did a great job at our wedding reception! The music he played was perfect for the evening!

Corey of Rusch Entertainment was absolutely WONDERFUL! He kept the dance floor full and everybody on their feet. Really nice guy to work with and made things so easy. SMOOTH!

dean rusch and rusch entertainment literally saved my daughter's wedding from being an almost sure nightmare! We had hired a dj service back in January called premier sound entertainment. They offered a great deal telling us their cost for djing was $1400.00 but if we paid $699.00 that day that's all we would have to pay.My daughter had heard from a few people that they were pretty good. she was also trying to plan a great wedding but trying to be conservative with money at the same time so we paid them by check the full amount of$699.00 thinking we were all set with entertainment. One less thing to worry about. So we thought. The summer came and went and before we knew it we were three weeks away from the wedding of my daughter's dreams. She filled out her packet the dj had given her. The packet consisted of different areas such as the bridal party and names . music choices for different areas of the wedding evening such as music to when the bridal party entered the reception, music during dinner,cutting the cake, bride and groom first dance, bridal party dance,etc. my daughter and her fiance put alot of time into their choices and were very excited about the perfect wedding day coming so soon. She got it in the mail and checked that off her things to get done list. I'm sure all you ladies that have been married know what i'm talking about.so anyhow we are now on the final week of the wedding. Monday morning my daughter got up and said she had a weird feeling about her dj's because she hadn't heard anything from them. she thought they would have called her when they received the packet she sent and started worrying whether they got it, so she decided to call them. She tried the number for Josh Barz first only to get a message that the line had been disconnected. Oh my God we were needless to say freaking out a bit.She called the other dj Robert Lyvere one to hear a message his phone was disconnected also. We were now filled with alot of anxiety and fear. Only 5 days to the wedding and can't reach our entertainment..what are we gonna do. how do we get a hold of these guys. My daugter sent a text to her photographer because she knew these guys personally. she even told kayla they were really good and that she would be happy with their performance when we first hired them back in january. she thought since she knew them she could get in touch with them. I had to go to work so and was very concerned all day. It was very hard for me to concentrate on my job. Before I left for work though I had called the wedding co-ordinator that was handling out reception. I told him what was going on and wondered if he knew the dj's or had heard anything about if they had played in the area recently. He hadn't heard anything but would make some calls for me as he knew we were very fearful that the wedding could be ruined. We had no contract given to us other than a receipt voucher with check number and the amount of $699 paid by me mother of the bride. I worked an 8 hour shift all the while thinking my god what do we do. what if we have no entertainment at my daughter's wedding. we were expecting 200 guests and expecting to show them a great and fun filled evening of dancing. This is suppose to be the most important and memorable day for my daughter and fiance! I was very fearful all day that it might not turn out that way. When I got home for work a message was waiting for me. It was the wedding co-ordinator. He said he didn't want to scare me BUT he had heard this guy josh barz and his partner were pulling some no shows on people or showing up half lit up . He said he couldn't say that they may not show up but maybe it would be better to be safe than sorry and at least start checking for a back up dj if we had to. it was a better alternative than not having any entertainment at all. The entertainment is the best part of a wedding reception. I couldn't even think of not having any entertainment. I had a sick feeling all day and now was really nervous. Later that night like close to 10p. Josh called my daughter and said he had gotten the packet and liked to call the bride a week ahead of time , (which at this time was 5 days till the wedding) When my daughter asked him why his phone was disconnected he said he had left it down at u of m and talked about how his dad was there being treated for lung cancer. we are not sure if this is true. we had heard that this was one of the excuses he has used for not showing up for weddings. but we let it go that night and tried to get some rest. we were glad to hear from him but still feeling uneasy. my daughter and fiance went online that night and saw for themselves some of the reviews about premier entertainment. They were not seeing good things. My daughter's fiance said one review said the dj, josh barz had threatened to kick a bridal party member or brother of bridal party's butt. Not sounding good. Also have heard that he has shown up drunk or gotten drunk while on the job. Also heard he has been known to bring friends with him and eaten dinner and partied. Not sounding like anyone we wanted to have at my daughter's and future son-in-law's wedding. We had been anticipating this day for many months. The next morning around 7 a.m. I received a call from my older brother. He told me my Mother had been taken to the hospital. wasn't sure what was wrong but I should come to hospital. I was like oh my God! what is going on? why is this wedding week turning into a fearful week. I was scheduled to work so I called and told them I was going to hospital and not sure i would make it in as i didn't know at the time what was going on with my mother. I arrived at the hospital between 7:30 and 8 a.m. but I was to late. she was already gone. she passed away due to an aneurysm of the aorta. she went very fast. i didn't even get to tell her good-bye and how much i loved her. i know she already knew how much she was loved, but it was just all so fast and sudden! What a blow so close to the wedding. my mom was looking forward to it so much. Now not only were we facing a funeral but still not sure about the premier entertainment. would they show or not. I decided to take the advise of our reception organizer and get a back up. he told me a couple dj's , the first being rusch entertainment who he highly recommended and another one I can't recall right now. My good friend from work was also very familiar with Rusch Entertainment because her Mom knew Dean himself. She called him and told him or his receptionist what we were dealing with and wondered if we needed a dj with very little notice if they had anyone available. She called me Tuesday afternoon and let me know that they were waiting for my call if I needed their help. After losing my Mom and my daughter's grandma we really felt it best to give Rusch Entertainment a call. I was treated with such warmth and sympathy for what we were all going through and they were very eager to help out. I talked to Dean himself and he assured me we would have entertainment and it would be a great wedding and we were doing the right thing.We did not have to worry about not having a wonderful memorable wedding for our daughter. They have been in the business for over 40 years and are very reliable,professional, and entertaining. He assured me the wedding would be everything my daughter and son-in-law were dreaming and antisipating. He only charged us what we had paid the other guys and not a penny more. that right there told me they were not all about money but helping us out of a huge nightmare. We truly believed we were gonna be left high and dry with no entertainment and just couldn't take that chance. we hired rusch entertainment and were completely relieved that the wedding would be perfect the way we wanted it to be. we didn't have to worry about it anymore. we had alot to deal with just losing my mom. It was hard having to bury her the day before the wedding but felt it was better than prolonging it till the following week. We knew she would have wanted us to go on with the wedding and we knew she would be right there with us. the wedding ceremony was beautiful and the reception was fantastic thanks to our wonderful dj Mike. he and his helper were there setting up well before 6;00. Mike and his assistant were wonderful. He made sure everything on the wedding song list was played and kept our guests dancing and having a great time all night long. we had so many compliments on everything.I can not thank Rusch Entertainment enough for saving us from what could have been a total nightmare. I highly recommend them to anyone who is planning a wedding and want top quality and professional entertainment. Steer clear of Premier Entertainment if u don't want to worry that they won't show up or if they do, they show up and give a lousy performance. Sincerely a Happy and thankful customer of Rusch Entertainment.

Our Rusch Entertainment DJ was awesome! He was professional, enthusiastic about our big day and very easy to work with. He made sure he covered all the details to ensure our reception was perfect. Our guests never left the dance floor and neither did I!!

We had Corey as our DJ for our wedding and we absolutely loved him!! He was awesome!! He was extremely professional but so much fun at the same time!! He played all the songs we had asked for and the dance floor was packed the entire night (which is exactly what I was hoping for)!! Everyone had commented on how well he had done at our wedding and that made us feel so good! I don't think we could have picked a better DJ to have at our wedding!! He made our wedding night a night we will never forget! We just want to thank Corey so much for being a huge part of our wedding and doing such a great job! We would definitely recommend him in a heartbeat!

We had Corey at our wedding and he was awesome! His music brought people to the dance floor all night long! He played everything we asked for and more. We had a hard time decided on background music and he played the most perfect songs. I never had to worry about anything because Corey had it all under control. It was nice to see a DJ that didn't hog the spotlight. He made it all about us and that was very nice. I would recommend Rusch Entertainment!

We were referred to Rusch Entertainment by our officiant, who has worked with them many times. Our DJ was Aaron Liversedge, and we would highly recommend him. He was able to get the dance floor full and keep it that way. He was so much fun, and even did our ceremony music and let us use him wireless mics for the ceremony. He is easy to get a hold of (as is anyone at Rusch... send an email, get a respose the same day) and we were able to talk about our music the week before. Very no hassle operation, loved the DJ (we got compliments!) and would recommend to anyone!

Rusch Entertainment was a great help finding me the perfect DJ for our wedding! Dan Kramer was the perfect match for us and everyone loved him :)

Dean did an outstanding job emceeing our community event - Run for Your Heart community races. He brought a new energy and positive vibe to our event. Our post-program surveys proved to us...if we had any doubts...that the participants loved him as well!

We loved Rusch Entertainment for our ceremony musician. Our wedding was held at the Kellogg Hotel and Conference Center in East Lansing, and we had a violinist play for our ceremony music. She had worked with me on what I wanted, and it turned out to be beautiful.

Corey was our DJ and he was a blast!! He was very professional and made our day so much fun! He played a great mix of music and everyone danced the entire night. A lot of people said it was one of the most fun weddings they have been to and I give that credit to Corey. Thank you so much!

Rusch Entertainment was recommended to me by several friends so I didnt even search for a different DJ and Im glad I didnt waste my time with anyone else! Corey helped me with so much more than just my music for my wedding, he worked with me on price to fit my budget and right before the wedding he called to go over the details with me and he mentioned many things that I hadnt even thought about like appointing someone to dismiss tables for dinner (which he offered to do for me). Corey was an awesome DJ and definitely halped my wedding run smoothly!! I would recommend them to anyone!!

Dean was our DJ - he was WONDERFUL!!! He knew exactly what to play to keep people out on the dance floor and especially to get folks dancing initially. AND his form for picking out songs and things was perfect. We didn't hear any songs we didn't want to, and we heard the ones we wanted to. We had SO many compliments and were told it was the most fun wedding people had been to in years. I can't say enough about Rusch Entertainment... in my opinion, there is no other option. THANK YOU DEAN! You're the BEST! <3 Jessica & Alan

My DJ was Corey Rusch, and he was amazing! He did a wonderful job. He kept the guest dancing all night, played all the music we want, and didnt play the ones we didnt want. I would recommend Corey to anyone. The price is great for the job he does!

Corey did such a great job at our wedding reception! The dance floor was always packed and he did a good job at keeping the party going. He played the types of music we asked for with a good variety of songs. He pays attention to detail to make sure he pronounces every ones name correctly and will go through the order of the night to make sure it all runs smoothly. He goes above and beyond to make sure your wedding reception is the best it can be. We would without a doubt use him again for any party we were throwing and we would recommend him to everyone.

Corey was amazing, 5 is not a high enough score. He went above and beyond what I had expected! The dance floor was jam packed all night, people I never thought I would see on the dance floor were out there all night. I got compliments weeks after the wedding about how much fun it was. One person referred to it as the "wedding of the century" and I think that Corey was the main reason for it. I can not say enough good things about Corey and Rusch Entertainment, I would highly recommend them.

Scott Arnett was absolutely amazing! He was extremely attentive to our needs and made sure that everyone had a great time. I would highly recommend him for any event! Thank you, thank you, thank you for helping to make our wedding day and absolute success! **Don & Kristi Rouech**

Dean was an awesome DJ. He was very involved with the crowd and he played to the crowd. He made it personal and that was great. We had a few extra things thrown in such as a grandpa song, military honor etc.....and he handled them excellent. Everyone there had a great time.

Corey went above and beyond for us on our wedding day! He even called about a week before and made sure everything was ready and the way we wanted it. I loved that he took time out of his schedule to make sure that we were going to be happy. I felt like he took our reception to another level. I couldn't be happier with the service that we had gotten with Rusch. They are a stand up company and what you pay for you get. Thanks again Corey for making our day better than we could have imagined!

We had Corey as our DJ at our reception. It was on New Year's Eve! HE DID AN EXCELLENT JOB!!!! There was not a moment that the dance floor wasn't packed the entire night! (WE HAD 417 people at our reception too!) He played the right songs at all the right times. I wouldn't have any other DJ!! He's very personable and flexible if you want to hear a different song! I've had so many compliments about our wedding reception and he had a HUGE PART In making it as FUN as it was because he kept people dancing all night! GREAT JOB, COREY AND THANKS AGAIN!!!!!!!!!
