Founded in 1992 by DJ ShawnyT, Shooting Star Entertainment brings decades of DJ and MC experience to weddings across Traverse City and Northern Michigan. We combine professional sound, stunning lighting, and personalized music to create a celebration that feels like you—from the first introduction to the final song.
Your wedding deserves personal attention. We take the time to understand your vision, your favorite music, and the moments that matter most. Whether you imagine an elegant evening, an energetic dance party, or a little of both, we help bring it together with a soundtrack that reflects your personality and welcomes every generation onto the dance floor.
An unforgettable reception takes more than a great playlist. It takes an experienced entertainer who can read the room, make clear announcements, and keep the evening flowing. DJ ShawnyT brings a warm, engaging presence to your celebration, helping guests feel comfortable, involved, and ready to have fun.
Beautiful lighting adds another dimension to the experience. From a romantic atmosphere for your first dance to colorful movement as the party gets going, our sound and lighting help set the mood for each part of your reception. Options such as Dancing in the Clouds and our photo booth offer even more ways to make the celebration your own.
Above all, we want you to enjoy your wedding., we want you to enjoy your wedding. Laugh with your friends, dance with your family, and take in the moments you’ve waited for. With Shooting Star Entertainment, you have an experienced professional focused on bringing your celebration to life.
Your favorite songs help tell your story. From the music that welcomes your guests to your first dance and the final song of the night, we work with you to create a soundtrack that reflects your personalities. Whether you love timeless classics, country favorites, upbeat pop, or a mix of everything, your taste sets the direction.
We listen to what matters to you—including your must-play songs, meaningful dedications, and do-not-play list. Together, we plan the music for those special moments while leaving room for spontaneous fun. You can enjoy your celebration knowing your preferences are understood and respected.
A great wedding brings generations together, and the right music helps make that happen. DJ ShawnyT draws on decades of experience to read the room and blend familiar favorites with dance-floor hits that connect with your guests. From grandparents to lifelong friends, we give everyone a reason to join the celebration and make memories alongside you.

Make your wedding celebration even more memorable with lighting and experiences that bring your reception to life. From colorful dance-floor lighting to a romantic “Dancing in the Clouds” moment and a photo booth filled with laughter, Shooting Star Entertainment offers options to complement your style and keep your guests entertained.
Our dance-floor lighting helps set the mood as your evening moves from heartfelt moments to an energetic celebration. We use haze—a lighter, more subtle effect than thick fog—to make light beams stand out and give the room added depth. It brings out the color and movement of the lighting for a lively party atmosphere.
For a romantic first dance, ask about our indoor “Dancing in the Clouds” effect. A soft layer of low-lying fog surrounds your feet, creating the appearance of dancing on a cloud. It adds a beautiful finishing touch to your moment together and a memorable backdrop for your wedding photos.
Our spacious 8′ × 8′ inflatable photo booth gives guests another way to join the fun. An easy-to-use iPad kiosk captures everything from sweet couple portraits to playful group poses. When an internet connection is available, guests can scan a QR code to download their photos and share them on social media in moments.
Our inflatable photo booth is best suited for indoor use or beneath a suitable protective overhang. Outdoor setups may be possible in certain situations—talk with us about your venue so we can review the space, shelter, and weather considerations together. Haze and “Dancing in the Clouds” are available for indoor use only. Availability and package inclusions vary, so let’s explore which options will add the perfect finishing touches to your celebration.
