What Other's Have To Say
Hi Everyone,
I am passing this on because I would highly recommend these guys. They D.J.d our Sheila's
graduation party last year and they were alot of fun and very professional. They take your song
lists and play as much as they have of your list, but also try to get what you request.
They are great fun. I know i'll have them back.

Checkerboard Entertainment
Checkerboard Entertainment was such an asset to our event. Carl and Rob had so much energy
and enthusiasm throughout the whole 12 hours of Relay! I’ve never seen so many people engage
with the DJ at 3am. Carl and Rob had people at the stage dancing, they had people singing, they
kept the energy HIGH ALL NIGHT! In addition to being outstanding for the participants, they were a
pleasure to work with. They brought that same enthusiasm from the stage to the planning process.
We wouldn’t have had nearly as great an event without Carl and Rob! They really do bring the fun!
Thanks guys for all of your hard work and dedication to the fight against cancer.

RECOMMENDATION!!!!!!!
Carl Ostenson was our D.J. for my son's 15th Birthday Celebration. It really was a celebration
because Carl was great.
Carl is without question, the best D.J. that I have ever hired, seen or even heard, We have all been
to weddings or parties where the D.J. plays the same type or music or same songs for that matter
over and over. Not Carl. Not only did he work with my son and I before the party to assure that he
knew what we liked and expected, he made suggestions and reminded us of forgotten favorites. If
he didn't have the music he had the ability to get it or was happy if we provided it as well.
He was professional, courteous and great with teens, before, during and after the party. He arrived
on time; quietly and quickly set up; started early and stayed later. His equipment included such
extras as lighting and video/dvd playing! You can play movies or show photos while the dancing
and music continues. If you are thinking about hiring a D.J. I strongly would suggest Carl. He is
FULL SERVICE!!!

I’m really happy that I hired Checkerboard Entertainment to DJ my husband’s surprise 40th
birthday. They were very professional, flexible, organized, and interacted well with the guests.
They were exactly what I was looking for. I’m proud to say that they exceeded my expectations,
and I would recommend them to my friends and family.
Have a great Labor Day Weekend,

It was a great experience working with Carl and Rob. They were professional, fun and energetic.
They worked well to accommodate the special needs of our students, as well as take various song
requests. I would definitely hire Checkerboard Entertainment for another event and look forward
to working with them again soon!

My 18th birthday would not have been the same without the entertainment provided by Rob and
Carl. Not only did they keep the party bumping with great tunes, but also the meal a little something
special too with a fantastic (albeit hilariously embarassing for me) photo montage complete with
baby photos. They brought energetic fun. I mean they got "too cool to dance" teenagers up and
making fools of themselves on the dancefloor. Pretty impressive. They take requests, have great
playlists, or will take playlists of your own. They really cater to your needs and make sure that your
day, whatever the occasion may be, is truly your day. I highly recommend them! I cannot say
enough good things about them.

Checkerboard Entertainment provided the music for both my wedding ceremony and reception.
Working with Rob and Carl was a real pleasure. They were professional, have a huge music
library, listened to our vision for the music for both parts of our wedding day and worked closely
with me to get everything just right. In addition, Rob acted as the emcee for the reception, helping
to make the evening run smoothly. I would recommend Checkboard Entertainment for even the
most important events in your life!
