Ken is an absolute pleasure to work with! He truly cares about giving you exactly what you dream of for your wedding. He listens to everything that’s important to you and then adds special touches that makes your day feel so special. He is compassionate and caring. I still remember when he “teared up” listening to our love story……he truly cares and wants to be a part of your love story to make the day perfect. He has your best interest at heart. He is an unbelievable DJ. He reads the crowd well and adjusts accordingly. We know he absolutely loves his work because he was always engaged and checking in with us routinely to make sure everything was perfect and he never stopped smiling when working on our wedding day. Our dance floor was full all night and never sizzled out, not even for one song. The CO2 cannons kept people cooled off on the dance floor. To this day, people still talk about how amazing and fun our wedding was and how amazing our DJ was. Several people have told us that our wedding is in their top 5 in terms of the best weddings they have been to and we know it has a lot to do with Ken and his hard work. He is the best!

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. We'd recommend HiMotive to other couples looking for an energetic DJ.

He kept our guests engaged and entertained. He was able to accurately read the room and tailor the music to keep everyone happy.

We cannot say enough great things about DJ Don Carlo and his wife. From the very first time we reached out, they were incredibly organized, professional, and easy to work with. Throughout the entire planning process, they made everything feel seamless and stress-free. They were always quick to respond, detail oriented, and genuinely invested in making sure our wedding was exactly what we envisioned. On the day of our wedding, DJ Don Carlo absolutely delivered. He brought such amazing energy to the reception and knew exactly how to keep the dance floor full from the very beginning until the very last song. He read the crowd so well and created a perfect flow of music that kept our guests engaged and having the best time. We've had so many friends and family members tell us how much fun they had dancing, and that’s thanks to him! What really stood out to us, though, was something that happened just a few days before our wedding. Our mariachi canceled on us three days before the big day, which was incredibly stressful and disappointing. When we told DJ Don Carlo, he immediately stepped in to help. He shared a post on his Instagram story asking if anyone was available to fill in, reaching out to everyone he knew who might be able to help. That moment showed us just how much he truly cares about the couples he works with. It wasn’t just about music for him, it was about making sure our day was everything we hoped it would be. That level of care and kindness is rare, and we will never forget it. If you are looking for a wedding DJ who is not only talented and experienced but also truly kind, dependable, and supportive, DJ Don Carlo is the one. He goes above and beyond in every way, and we are so grateful to have had him be a part of our wedding day.

Funktastic Productions Llc. was an absolute hit at our wedding! From the very first interaction, their communication was quick, friendly, and super detailed - they clearly cared about making our day perfect. And that's exactly what they delivered. I chose to have live piano and violin at my ceremony and they sounded beautiful together. They played every song I requested with depth and precision- even the fairly new music (I requested Birds of a Feather for the recessional, and they NAILED it!) They provided mics to the musicians and the officiant stand, which ended up being a lifesaver for us. The DJ and violinist were both fun and talented, keeping the dance floor packed all night long. DJ Servaun in particular did an amazing job matching the vibes, emceeing, and balancing in the moment song requests with a killer playlist. Get the DJ with Musician accompaniment package!! The electric violin player lit up the dance floor & guests LOVED it! Quote: “Best wedding I’ve ever been to! I’ve never been to a wedding where ‘Not Like Us’ got a violin accompaniment”. I also used Funktastic for our photobooth service and it was one of the most popular parts of the wedding. People lined up at one point to take pics- and I was thrilled with the quality of the designs and service. Funktastic Productions provided incredible value and high quality entertainment that made our wedding celebration truly unforgettable. We can't recommend them enough!

I don’t know where to start with Dillon and Electric Sugar…. They were incredible. Plain and simple. I worked with Dillon leading up to wedding weekend and he was kind, prompt, professional, and fun. We worked together to create a set list that was perfect for our taste in music. Dillon also played guitar at our ceremony and it was beautiful. He did a combo of guitar and prerecorded music per our request and it was perfect. He brought all the equipment needed for our officiant to have a microphone as well. The Electric Sugar band as a whole played for our reception. We had them for 3 hours and the dance floor was packed for 3 hours. They were so much fun and SO talented!!! It was the best party and they were a huge reason behind it! I would recommend them to anyone for their wedding or any other occasion they are looking to add spice and energy too. If we ever host another event where music is needed I would book them in a heartbeat

We had the pleasure of having Dj Azul at our wedding, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the very beginning, Dj Azul was incredibly professional and attentive to our music preferences. He took the time to understand our tastes and crafted a playlist that kept the dance floor packed all night long. The transitions between songs were seamless, and DJ Azul knew exactly how to read the crowd and keep the energy high. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the music, and many of them mentioned that it was one of the best wedding receptions they had ever attended.
