DJ & Saxophone

May 11, 2022

Our “DJ & Sax” is really taking off! I can’t wait to bring you our latest video from the streets of center city Philadelphia – coming soon! Last week, John “Sax” Williams provided the entertainment for Blank Rome LLP’s, Corporate Women’s Leadership Summit at the Stratus Rooftop Lounge above a Kimpton’s Hotel Monaco.

The ladies had a blast dancing to our “DJ and Wings & Sax” performance. At one point, John went onto the dance floor with his saxophone and started dancing with them. They loved it!

After performing as the DJ for Pafa’s Spring Mixer last year, I received this amazing review. Thanks Pafa!

– Michelle Lee (aka DeeJay Shelly).

“Words I use to describe DJ Shelly / Michelle Lee Entertainment; Stunning! Fabulous! Professional! Amazing!.. just to name a few. I was beyond ecstatic with the amount of accolades and positive feedback I received regarding DJ Shelly’s performance at my event. The music she selected fit the event perfectly. She knew how to best read the audience and keep the energy upbeat and professional. If you haven’t already booked DJ Shelly what in the world are you waiting for? Do you want your boss to compliment your successes? Do you want your guests to have an incredible event experience? Then put Michelle Lee Entertainment on your speed dial now!”

WOW! My head is in the clouds after receiving this review! Thank you Coldwell Banker Real Estate LLC!

“Hi Jenny,

I wanted to let you know how wonderful it was having DJ DeeJay Shelly perform at our events in March! She continues to impress both our planning team and our guests with her professionalism, high energy performance and ability to create unique experiences.

All four events we have had her at so far in 2021 and 2022 have all been one of a kind music experiences. She is able to curate a show that is different every time that is tailored to the guests (from different backgrounds and geographical locations) and also read guests reactions and match their energy in real time. I can always trust that she is going to deliver a fun, corporate-friendly show and I do not have to worry about that aspect of the event at all. She is such a joy to work with and we cannot wait to have her at our events in the future! Hope you have a great week!”

LGBT FRIENDLY WEDDING VENDOR

LGBTQ WEDDINGS

Not only am I friendly, I want to make your wedding day majestic and memorable!

“DJ Shelly was AMAZING! Our wedding was on October 28th, 2017, at Nassau Valley Vineyards in Lewes, DE.

We asked for MODERN AMBIENT BEATS during the cocktail hour and asked her to use her own judgment of the crowd the rest of the evening for dancing.

She KNOCKED IT OUT OF THE PARK!!! Everyone loved her and complimented us on how FUN the night was. She went above and beyond by coordinating with our bagpipers for what wound up being an amazingly majestic and memorable processional. You WILL NOT be disappointed. Hire her!”

-Ryan & Jeremy
