I was absolutely blown away by Essen Entertainment at our wedding. JJ is so easy to work with and will bend over backwards for you. We had him play acoustically for before our ceremony, during our ceremony, and at the cocktail hour. He even learned a song especially for the wedding party processional that we requested. He is so talented! He also wrote an original song for us to dance to at the wedding. Definitely a must! My fiancé hadn't heard it before the wedding so it made for a very special moment. JJ was great at reading the crowd on the dance floor during the reception. I had so many compliments about the music and how full the dance floor was all night long. JJ pays great attention to detail and sent us a detailed itinerary for our event. He was great at making sure everything moved along just as planned. Definitely consider Essen Entertainment for your next event! You won't be disappointed!

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,600
  • Serves Alief, TX

A.M. Productions is the only Houston Wedding DJ & Entertainment company that provides talented DJs with a boutique style approach for couples who want a packed dance floor and a memorable wedding, in the era of cheesy wedding djs. We aren’t your average wedding DJ. We’re passionate, innovative and unique professional entertainers. If you want to learn more about how we can make your wedding Easy, Stress-Free and Memorable, call or email us.

Don't think twice - book A.M. Productions for your wedding now!! We knew how crucial it was to book the right DJ & entertainment to deliver the energy we wanted for our wedding and they EXCEEDED our expectations. We got married in April 2025 and had DJ Forum (Alex) mixing and emceeing. Aaron (the owner) also graciously came through to ensure a smooth event. We came to learn about A.M. through a recommendation from our wedding planner. It was also validating to later see them on our venue's (The Peach Orchard) preferred vendor list! During consultation, we were drawn to their extensive services/add-ons, quality of work, and competitive pricing. We selected their Super Star package (most popular) and chose subwoofers and advanced uplighting. We also added on their photo booth which was exactly what we needed - a backdrop, self-service, no props, digital gallery, present the entire wedding, and the convenience of having it handled by the same team. Leading up to our wedding day, the A.M. production team were well-organized and provide you with a wealth of tips, resources, and instructions. We filled out their comprehensive "Wedding DJ Planner" sheet that helps them prepare and provided them playlists of 10-15 songs each for cocktail hour, dinner service, and dance floor (we used Spotify) to help inspire the mood/energy we were looking for. The wedding day was FLAWLESS! They went above and beyond, surprising us with moving heads AND a CO2 gun which was a crowd favorite. DJ Forum read the crowd amazingly and his mixes were fire. Our guests spoke very highly of them - with some intending to book A.M. for their own weddings in the future! For a complete package of professional lighting, sound, photobooth, energy, service, and more - book A.M. productions with confidence!! THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts on making our special day a moment to forever look back on with smiles all around!

Jackie is incredible! She did my bridal makeup for my wedding in May, and I was blown away with the results. From the start she was very responsive and informative. I chose not to do a trial before my wedding day, so I was not sure what to expect having never had my makeup professionally done. Jackie came in, on time and set up almost like a mini make up studio and it gave the whole experience a very luxurious feel. She is very professional but also very easy to talk with and she brought a really fun energy. I told her my vision and she brought it to life, I have never felt more beautiful than I did on my wedding day. I highly recommend Jackie, I had a really great experience.

My Make-Up journey started 8 years ago when my moms client asked me to do makeup for her wedding. Since I always did mine she figured I could do her’s and that was a No. I had never done anyone but myself. After a little convincing I did 3 Foundation Matches on her to make sure I had the right color. After that wedding I began to take classes because I knew if I wanted to be a great artist I would have to learn the skill and understand the business. Taking the degree in Marketing that I had earned from Texas Southern University and the Master’s in Business Administration i poured it all in to my new established business .

We got married in April here and it was amazing! The venue is beautiful and there is a lot of space. My planner, Madison, was very helpful during the process and would answer any questions I had. Our coordinators Janeen and Jackie were awesome! They helped make the day flow perfectly and if we needed anything they were on top of it! The DJ was great as well and was included in the package. The only compliant I have was that they ran out of food even though less people showed up then in our final guest count. We got the steak option and it was delicious but the portions they gave out were small and they somehow still ran out...

Hey there! I'm Manny, based in Houston, TX. Since 2020, I've been capturing authentic moments—those real, raw, joyful times that make your wedding day uniquely yours. From slipping into your wedding dress to laughing with your best friend and dancing all night, I'll be your #1 sidekick with a camera. I believe love is colorful, messy, full of electric laughter, stolen kisses, and maybe a cheeky butt grab or two. If that sounds like you, I’m your photographer. Let’s connect and start planning your forever and always. At Manuel Ayala Photography, we believe "Y’all means All."

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring Manny was probably the best decision we could've made for our wedding day. We happened to snag a free engagement photoshoot from him while he was traveling in our area, and we didn't expect to book him for our wedding because he lived out of state, so we assumed that flying him out would be too expensive. However, when we were looking for DC-based photographers, we weren't finding anyone who had the bright, joyful style that we saw in Manny's photos, and all the local photographers were SO expensive anyway. So, we decided to reach out to Manny to see if we could work something out, and thank goodness we did!! Manny helped create a custom package that worked within our budget, and then he exceeded all of his promises anyway. He delivered more photos than promised, faster than promised. The night of our wedding, he had posted a cute informal video compilation on his Instagram (we hadn't purchased videography). He had sneak peeks ready ahead of schedule, and there were so many! He surprised us with a second shooter (a friend of his who is also a wedding photographer), polaroids, and even some drone photography of our venue. Best of all, the photos were absolutely beautiful. They captured every important moment, and everything looked just as beautiful and joyful as they felt on that day. The editing was flattering without being overdone. For example, my wife and I both had slightly different shades of white outfits--mine being ivory and hers being pure white--and I can tell from the guest photos that that didn't photograph well, with the bright August sun creating a blue light effect on the pure white outfit. But, Manny obviously took the time to edit every photo painstakingly, because his photos still look perfect. We cherish every one of them and have looked at them again and again. My wife's parents (who are very particular) were so impressed with the photos that they've also considered booking him for future anniversary shoots. I think the most important thing I can say about Manny is that he obviously loves his job. With the kind of happiness that he radiates and the way he goes above and beyond without being asked, you can just see that this is more than work to him. He loves to celebrate love. If you've taken the time to read this review, please go ahead and book with Manny. I promise you won't regret it!

The Bar Baby provided excellent bar services and beverages for our birthday event . From the moment we first contacted them, their communication was professional yet highspirited, and they were incredibly prompt in responding to our questions and requests. On the day of the event, their staff, led by the knowledgeable bartender Ashlynn, demonstrated excellent service and attention to detail. Ashlynn's mixology expertise shone through as she crafted custom cocktails that delighted our guests. The bar area was kept spotlessly clean and the team was very interactive, ensuring our guests had an enjoyable experience. Overall, the Bar Baby's outstanding work and value made them a crucial part of making our special day a complete success.

Katy, Texas, is home to the service of DJ Charlie Entertainment, a company that specializes in all types of weddings and offers excellent add-ons! DJ Charlie is Bilingual in English and Spanish, with over 10 years of experience in weddings! DJ Charlie is also well-versed in all genres and takes pride in getting every guest onto the dance floor to celebrate the newlyweds.

We absolutely ADORE Carlos Ramirez and his Photo Booth Assistant, Sofia! It was sheer luck that we found him, and he was absolutely perfect in every way. Carlos made contact with us regularly, walked us through how to use the Vibo app, worked with our venue coordinators at Crystal Ballroom at the Rice (Alexis Kent), worked with our planners at Whimsical Creative (Jen Molina), had a week-of call to finalize details and asked us all the right questions, listened to all our needs, and gave great suggestions for things that made our night special that never would have even occurred to us! Oh… and the lighting he provided in the ballroom was spectacular! Our venue and planner are even adding him to their preferred vendor list, which makes me so happy to know. I really can’t praise Carlos and Sofia enough! They read the crowd with perfect accuracy. The dance floor was never empty, and the photo booth was in constant use. Our guests had an absolute blast! Carlos is not only a great artist but now a new friend. If you’re lucky enough to see this post and want more detailed feedback, please DM me on Facebook and put - DJ CHARLIE ENTERTAINMENT in the first line so I’ll notice it.
