Built on music. Driven by people.
We treat every event as if it were our own — because the music, the timing, and the crowd deserve more than a playlist on shuffle.
Founded in 2009 by Jason Shell, Creative Entertainment has come a long way from its beginnings as DJShell.com. When Jason first started out, his passion for music and people drove him to start a side business as a DJ — and turned hard work and inspiration into a booming operation.
Through the 2010s, Jason started training other DJs to keep up with demand. He was averaging around 85 events each year before deciding to form Creative Entertainment, now operating with several DJs, a full-time LLC manager, and a full-time office administrator.
In 2021, Jason partnered with event specialist Ryan Jones, and together they've served hundreds of couples with the kind of service the Southeast had been missing. We love our clients and want to make sure you have a great experience from start to finish.
We service all of the Southeast — Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, Mississippi, and Louisiana.
