At its core, Alt. Entertainments is an extension of a passionate individual who’s been immersed in the music scene since the early 2000s. The founder—a DJ with roots starting in indie clubs and a career that officially took off in 2007—brings an intimate, personal approach to every event. He believes that good music isn’t just played—it’s felt, and that every client deserves a tailored experience rather than a one-size-fits-all playlist.

What makes a romantic first dance?
A personal song is always the best, I would never tell anyone what they should use as a personal song. However as an example of what I believe is a great first dance I urge you to check out something like The Posies & Burt Bacharach - What the World needs now. It starts off incredibly slow and intimate, but it crescendos to a brilliant party song that you could get your loved ones to join in with.
