About
The husband and wife team of DJ Boots Entertainment provides quality music entertainment and atmosphere to both private and public events, including weddings, birthdays, holiday and theme parties. Eric Boutin has many years of experience that includes entertaining crowds as a DJ and emcee. He has also DJed college radio in RI and MA as a student and later as a volunteer. With assistance from his wife, Jane, they provide a high quality sound system with lighting and a fog machine at no extra cost, if requested. For lights, they have an American DJ Revo 4, an ADJ Tri Phase, black lights and laser lighting. Whatever your musical tastes, expectations and presentation preferences may be, they will work closely with you, through correspondence and detailed planning, to ensure that your specific needs are met. Eric is an audiophile with a background in historic research and archival management. This has exposed him to the never-ending treasures of recorded sound. Though their strengths are in the genres of funk, soul, rock, hip hop, EDM and jazz, they continue to explore new sounds everyday. Music is a positive force in our lives. It has the power to enhance our mood and outlook on the world. We keep this in mind every time they have the opportunity to share their skills and knowledge of music with others. Our prices are reasonable and simple, never involving any hidden or complicated fees. A travel fee of distances over 50 miles from Newnan, GA may be added to the total cost. A service contract agreement will outline all the details that are negotiated between the client and DJ Boots Entertainment. Creating positive energy and sound to make people move, especially those who don't often get the chance to. My knowledge of music goes well beyond the pop world. Because I work to serve others, it is important to get a sense of what the crowd desires before I arrive at an event. This means clear and timely communication between myself and the organizers. Song recommendations are always easy for me. My background in the field of library and information studies has given me not only the communication skills to find out exactly what a user is looking for, but also the research skills to locate the correct items quickly. I am also a great mixer. When the dancing starts, that means you gotta keep the beat going. Ascending or descending beats per minute gradually. Smooth transitions from one song to the next with no dead air. Dead air is a DJ's worst enemy. Quickly transitioning from one genre to the next, or a slow song to a fast one, is to be avoided unless the DJ has some sort of audio glue to make it work.

We hired DJ Boots to DJ our 85-person wedding on the South Shore of Boston in May 2017. DJ Boots was wonderful to work with from before our hiring him all the way to our wedding day! Eric was able to answer any and all questions we had and was flexible in scheduling a time to speak with him over the phone before we had even decided to hire. With Eric, not only did we get someone who is an extremely skilled DJ, but someone who is professional, experienced, and fun as a master of ceremonies. He reached out to us with a very helpful template to plan the order of the reception. We let him know what kind of even we wanted, what ages would be present, and our tastes, and he was able to quickly pick up the vibe we wanted. We had music ranging from top fifty hits, salsa jams, and older classics. He made several great suggestions along the way, without ever feeling pushy or aggressive. On the day of the wedding, he planned on arriving a couple of hours early so that he would be totally set up and ready to go when the party got started. He perfectly executed all introductions and announcements throughout the night, giving off a positive, energetic, and comfortable vibe. Later in the night, with dancing, he appealed to all age groups and was able to keep everyone from my younger cousins to my college friends to my grandma out on the dance floor. So many people who "never dance" were dancing, happily. And people who had warned they might have to leave the reception early, due to kids at home, etc, did NOT leave early. By the end of the night, we heard from several people that our DJ was "awesome" and "perfect" and "so much fun." Eric has mastered the art of keeping the party going, being friendly and responsive to people, without stealing the show or becoming obnoxious. We were extremely pleased with our choice of DJ Boots and would recommend him to anyone planning a wedding. While our wedding was on the small side, I'm sure he would be great for larger groups as well.

Eric was the perfect DJ for my daughter's Bat Mitzvah! His music rocked. The dance floor was full for the whole party (pleasing young and old alike), and his light show transformed the space into a very festive environment. He was great at leading games for the kids, and also read the crowd well to determine whether a slow song, another game, or more fun fast dancing was best. He was a pleasure to work with ahead of time: came out to see the venue and plan the layout, shared his playlists, took requests, and face-timed with me and my daughter to get to know her and her style before the event. A lot of friends at the event told me how great the DJ was. I will definitely hire him again and would highly recommend him.

DJ Boots-Im sorry it took me so long to put up a review,however you are the best!! I had a 40th surprise birthday party for my fiancée Jarrett and DJ Boots was so flexible, not to mention his wife literally helping me out decorations cause I was running late!! He went above and beyond to make the night one to remember!! People had such a great time I heard them say " we were having such a great time dancing and singing and playing that we forgot all about taking pictures!!" It was a star wars theme and DJ Boots catered to all my needs not to mention was willing to be flexible since we had a tight budget. DJ Boots and his wife knocked it out of the park at our party! I would recommend him to anyone looking for a lively, Interested,fun, knows how to read a room for appropriate music. They were great and we all loved working with DJ Boots. Would hire him again in a heartbeat!! Thanks for the memories!!
