Introduction: My business is all about YOU! I have spent my entire life in the entertainment business (over 8,000 events); either performing as a keyboard entertainer/MC/DJ or (with A-1 Entertainment) as a provider of virtually any type of entertainment including "State of the Art" Photobooths, Karaoke setups, Game shows. I have all kinds of entertainers and entertainment including Inflatables, specialty acts, and have worked with many people planning and organizing their events. Your event is virtually guaranteed to be a success when you hire someone who has the best equipment and the knowledge it takes to create your perfect party!

As a former music teacher, I still take on occasional students who are as passionate as I am about learning. I really enjoy creating those special memories for people. There are really very few days in our lives that we look back upon and remember in great detail; it makes me happy being part of those wonderful memories I can help create with my expertise.

Mike was our DJ for our daughter's wedding reception. The bride and groom are big fans of Irish/Scottish music, and Mike had no trouble putting together the kind of music they wanted. He even found multiple versions of a fairly obscure song my Dad requested at the reception. At our request, he kept the music quiet enough so that we could talk during dinner, and he was great to work with. I would definitely recommend Mike and A-1 Entertainment.

I had a last minute idea, and went on Thumbtack to try and find entertainment for our girls basketball program's end of season party on 3/16/2018. I sent in a request for a Photo booth rental and Mike got back to me within minutes, with the lowest quote. I was immediately concerned with the "lowest price", but we had no budget for this, but I knew we needed something. After speaking with Mike, I told him this was for 60 youth kids that range from 4th grade to 8th grade. He said "I got this" and he delivered. He was on time, girls loved the setup and the 3 tables of props made for a wonderful night. Mike even stayed an extra 30 min at no charge. I would recommend A-1 Entertainment! See you next year....North Colonie Youth Girls Basketball :-)

Details: Party host • Festival / fair • Indoors • Camera with backdrop • Prints (photo strips, etc.) • Props will need to be provided • 51 - 100 guests • 12 years old or younger • 13 - 17 year olds

Mike Purcell was perfect to work with. He was well educated on the music. He understood the different vibes of the night to know which styles of music to play and when. He has a collection like no other DJ I have ever met. If he doesn't have that one song you want, he'll find it. Incredibly easy to work with. Do not know how to pick the music for your big day? He is well organized and helps guide you through the whole process from start to finish. I do not think I could have asked for a better DJ for my wedding. Being in the same industry I know how music can make or break a party. If you go with Mike you are sure not going to have anything but the best time.

Wow! Gal is a professional wedding planner! With her experience in the business I knew what she wanted and did everything I could to make the day completely unique and special for them as a couple. I hope I helped create a memory they will cherish forever.

Had a great time 5/22/16 at the MVC 80th anniversary banquet! The music was great and the trivia game was a lot of fun. Mike is a friendly, funny, personable and professional entertainer and an all around nice guy. Thanks Mike!
