Amazing!!
Devail and Nikki did absolutely amazing! They were so hype with everyone dancing, made sure that the bride and groom had every song playing they wanted. They made us laugh and transitioned every song for each part of the night perfect. I would absolutely choose them again and again for any event!
The Best DJ Ever
From the moment we first reached out to 196 Events, they were incredibly responsive and clear in their communication. They took the time to review every detail with us to ensure our wedding reception was exactly how we envisioned. The 196 team was detailed-oriented, fun, amazing, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. They even created small videos of our special day and provided us with a great list of songs to choose from for each event. 196 was very professional, and I would recommend them to anyone looking for an interactive and passionate DJ who will help make your wedding day unforgettable. The photo booth they provided was also a huge hit with our guests! I can't speak highly enough of how wonderful everything was - if you want a DJ who truly loves their job, 196 Events is the right choice.
The Best DJ Ever — Our Reception Was Perfect!
196 Events was truly phenomenal! From the moment the reception started until the very last song, they kept the energy high, the transitions smooth, and the dance floor packed. Our guests are still talking about how fun and seamless everything felt. The DJ understood our vibe perfectly and created a reception experience that felt personal, polished, and unforgettable. There was never an awkward moment and not a single dull song — just joy, laughter, and nonstop dancing. If you want a reception that feels like you and keeps your guests fully engaged, book 196 Events. They absolutely delivered on the “No Boring Receptions” promise! Highly, highly recommended!

Devail and Nikki at 196 Events NO Boring Receptions Guaranteed! were fantastic to work with from start to finish. Their communication style was easy, comfortable, and fast, which put us at ease throughout the entire planning process. The quality of their work and value was truly fantastic - they are clearly skilled, adaptable, and passionate about what they do. A few examples of how they contributed to our special day: their easy-to-use music planning app made selecting our ceremony and reception songs a breeze, and Devail's kind personality helped calm our ceremony jitters. Devail and Nikki are such amazing people and business partners - they made everything easy from the consultation to the wedding day, and they definitely delivered on their promise of "No Boring Receptions." We partied all night long!
