I found Mike via thumbtack & although on there it stated he was booked on my wedding date I thought I’d still reach out to him. I’m so happy I did because he put me in touch with our dj, thankyouteddy and he did an awesome job djing for our wedding! Mike was very informative and gave me plenty of information. He also has you do a questionnaire to help narrow down the right dj for you based off your music preferences. Mike will reached out periodically to follow up & also puts you in touch with the dj the week of the wedding to go over details. Teddy arrived on time and kept everyone on our toes throughout the night. The only thing I will say, is if you’re doing bridal party introductions it’s best to rehearse it if possible. Or give an exact time of the song for your dj to play when each couple comes out.

I have had the wonderful opportunity to work with DJ Blk Soldier on 2 occasions. Every time DJ Blk Soldier was organized, asked important questions, very responsive and of course he protected the vibe! He even worked out a way to surprise my couple with a special song during their first look. All of the guests loved his sets and he knew how to keep the crowd going! One of my favorite memories with DJ Blk Soldier is coordinating the "Swag/Surf" with an entire wedding that was on the brides' must-do list. He helped organize the crowd and get them on board. He understands the couple and the crowd and what moment you are creating. I can't wait to work with DJ Blk Soldier again. He is definitely my go-to DJ for weddings. He understands the assignment and protect the vibe.

If music is a top priority for your event or you’re concerned you won’t find the right dj to fulfill all of your requests, worry no more. From start to finish Ken made the entire process a total breeze and we had fun while doing so! My husband and I were very specific on what we wanted for our wedding music production and Ken did not disappoint. Not only did we have full control of what would be played (& not played) throughout the evening but he made our night completely unforgettable. From his entire sound system which included a video screen that incorporated pictures and videos, to [up]lighting that went with our music, along with unique touches during first dances and our last dance, we were floored with how perfectly he executed our special day. It’s been over a year since our wedding and our guests are still talking about how we had the best dj and music. The only complaint we had was that our guests couldn’t leave the dance floor to grab a drink or take a break because the songs and energy kept getting better and better! I’d get married again in a heartbeat just to rebook Ken and dance the night away!

HiMotive Entertainment & Photobooth did a great job keeping our wedding reception fun and upbeat. While their communication was a bit delayed leading up to the event, they were ultimately effective in executing on the day-of. The DJ kept the party going all night with a good song selection, though they did play 3 Taylor Swift songs in a row at the start, which we would have preferred more variety. The MC's ad-libs got a little overbearing at times, but overall they did a nice job sticking to the schedule and making important announcements.

Louis Pettinelli Entertainment was an absolute dream to work with. I thought that a live band for our wedding would be out of our reach, but LPE was so easy to work with and what an incredible value! Our band, LPE Snapshot was incredible and our ceremony musicians were amazing too! The vocalists were high energy and kept the whole event moving. They were great Emcess and they even added some special non-traditional reception activities for us. They were super flexible and played all the songs we asked for- even some very “niche” tracks we asked for during the ceremony. So many of my guests said the band was their favorite part of the reception. I highly recommend LPE entertainment! (I am also a musician myself so I’m very picky!)

Toast & Jam DJs specialize in making people dance by working closely with our clients to create customized playlists that reflect their tastes. We reject line dances, props, and other gimmicks in favor of perfectly planned and well-timed soundtracks that appeal to every partygoer. That means no Hokey Pokey and no Chicken Dance. At Toast & Jam, we believe that a thoughtful mix of pop favorites, hip-hop bootyshakers, Motown classics, and timeless standards are fun and self-respecting alternative to those embarrassing and played-out dancefloor clichés.

Chris rocked our worlds!!! DJs can make or break a wedding, so going into planning we were pretty nervous about this decision. Our Coordinator recommended Toast & Jam and boy are we glad she did. From our first meeting with Chris we knew we were in good hands. He was able to effortlessly blend our wildly eclectic music tastes and hyper-specific cultural songs without batting an eye. He also smoothly MC'd the whole night. At least 50 of our guests have told us that he was the best wedding DJ they've ever had, so we know we are not biased!! His ability to read a crowd is unreal. The photobooth was also a huge hit. If you're considering it, DO IT, it was a perfect keepsake for guests. We cannot recommend highly enough Chris and Toast & Jam, our wedding was a certified banger.
