• We had a very detailed wedding event. Our ceremony was complex and every song was orgainized for the reception. Timelines had to be met and every introduction had to be made at proper times. The reception was to be care free and fun. Will Shumate exceeded all of our complex expectations and went beyond the call. He is very talented at reading the crowd and playing the right music to fit the masses. I know that we were asking for a lot but Abe One was spot on! OUTSTANDING! -- Amanda J, Roanoke, VA, 1/8/2011
• Our Christmas party was very fun! Will had everyone up singing and dancing all night. He has that deep radio voice and everyone loved his song selections. Our groups age ranges from 18 to 70 and I think he provided the perfect balance for both young and old. Nobody wanted to go home at the end of the night. Can we book Will again next year? -- Lucas W, Roanoke, VA, 12/16/2010
• Extremely accommodating! We contacted Abe One Dj's on very short notice. They responded quickly when we contacted them. The whole process was turn key. Every detail was followed through and our guests are still talking about the party. Outstanding customer service and a night of fun we'll all remember. Abe One is the BEST! -- Tom W, Roanoke, VA, 12/24/2010
• I have been reading the positive feedback and heard great things about Abe One. I knew that they did stellar work at wedding receptions. My husband and I are in the nightclub business so we decided to try them. WOW! I was very impressed with Mr. Shumate's music selection. I have been to many karaoke shows here in the NRV and I must say Abe One Deejays and Karaoke delivered in spades and our cash registers don't lie. The customers are very happy with the great mix of music thay they provided and we will use them again! Thanks Will. You are the real deal! -- Lori V, Roanoke, VA, 11/12/2010
• Abe One Deejays was very good at what they do. We gave them a song list but when the dancing was seeming to die down, they would change the song making it sound good. I would recommend them to anyone who asks. -- Todd M, Winston-Salem, NC, 9/18/2010
• We have used Abe One Deejays and Karaoke on serveral occations. We are very pleased at every event. They continue to outdo themselves every time. Besides the great work they do at wedding receptions, we've discovered their ability to 'rock the house' and nightclubs as well. The karaoke they do is simply unmatched. There's none better! We will gladly use them again with the highest recomendations. Thank you Will. You are the BEST! -- Paul V, Blacksburg, VA, 11/27/2010
• I would recommend Abe One Deejays to everyone! Will was so helpful, and everyone loved the music. It was exactly what I wanted out of my wedding reception. It was the perfect blend of new music and older music that everyone could tap their feet too. USE ABE ONE DEEJAYS!!!! You wont be disappointed! -- Jennifer L, Morgantown, WV, 8/28/2010
• Outstanding night! Not only is Will Shumate the owner very talented, ive seen many of the Abe One Dj's in action. Breeze was an American Idol contestant and what a singer. Scot Garner 'hooks' is great on the mic and has total control of the room. I've seen other djs on the team like Phillip Taylor and Brian Reznor in Beckley who both do great jobs. The new kid Brent is a real up and comer and Gary Knapp is an old pro. Will does a great job with the Abe One team and it shows! -- Shelly F, Richlands, VA, 6/3/2010

• Over the evening was a success. The DJ stayed till 11pm even though he was only contracted to stay till 10pm. He got out and danced with everyone which made everyone comfortable to get up and dance. Thanks Abe DJ for doing my wedding. -- Brandi C, Ivanhoe, VA, 5/29/2010

• great night with great music. just wish we had more time. -- Chandler W, Ashland, VA, 4/23/2010
• Abe One Deejays with Will Shumate was incredible!! Our group raised more than 5,000 with the karaoke challenge alone. Will is responsible for our event's success. He is personality plus. We got much more than we asked for. Not only is he a stellar Dj, he is an outstanding Emcee. You can witness by his years on the radio that he can really get the job done and our group will use his services for all of our Roanoke city events. We had no idea how successful this event would be and we credit Will Shumate and Abe One for making this fundraiser one to remember. OUTSTANDING! -- Myra W, Roanoke, VA, 3/17/2010
• Our annual Sophomore Party was a great success! Our students had a blast. They danced all night and enjoyed the Karaoke. Will and Scott were very personable and kept the party going until the last song. Students were commenting, on the way out the door, that they wanted these guys back again soon! DeeJay's make a party and our party was awesome! Thanks again! -- Kim S, Louisa, KY, 3/13/2010
• Excellent presentation. Will is an outstanding people-person. His ability to handle music requests and keep the room upbeat and fun is amazing. From weddings to everyday events, you'll find none better. We will hire Abe One again. -- Shelly F, Richlands, VA, 5/27/2010

• Will was AMAZING!! I married into a large family and there have been lots of weddings and everyone in the family said that Will was the best they have ever seen at a wedding reception..He was so nice and helpful when communicating about the music and announcements before the wedding that it made everything so simple.. When you're a Bride you appreciate things being simple... I love him and if anyone says they need a DJ I will give them Cowboy Will's phone number... THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING MY RECEPTION THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE !! Kari Henderson -- Kari T, Surveyor, WV, 9/26/2009

• Blacksburg Virginia has not partied this hard on a Saturday for a minute...Good food...Good friends...Good times...All because of GREAT ENTERTAINMENT!!! Abe One Deejays out did themselves! Thanks for a job well done. Everyone enjoyed themselves especially the Ladies! -- Paul V, Blacksburg, VA, 11/13/2010
• Will did a great job! He was professional and also gave some suggestions, thru his experience. His equipment sounded great in our small place, usually DJ's are too loud and while turning down the music,the sounds end up like an AM radio. We were very pleased. -- Debbie K, Uniontown, PA, 6/19/2009
• We were so happy using Abe One Deejays at our Beckley, West Virgina location that we decided to use their dj's to host karaoke at our Richlands, Va store. Our food and beverage numbers were higher than anticipated the first week out. We are very pleased with the perfect balance of active dance music which compliments their huge karaoke song selection. If you are looking to book entertainment which is suitable for both dancing and singing I would strongly say "use these guys!" -- Shelly F, Richlands, VA, 5/20/2010
