Tim was great from the moment we hired him to the very last minute of our wedding!! Communicative up until day of and knocked it out of the park with music! We had a bit of a shorter wedding day and limited time to set up, but he was great through it all. We had a snafu before our ceremony with our officiant and he was very understanding and helpful about the delay, it really eased my worries. We had a very small venue and his set up was perfect - I never felt cramped even though our dancing space was small. I will be recommending him to all my friends in need of an awesome DJ!

DJ Jonny Botello made our bilingual wedding a night to remember! His services were prompt, professional, and exuded excellence. He is truly there to help support the event and lift the mood with the music he plays. He is very interactive and asking you for feedback on when to proceed with segments of the party. The sound system he brings is also high quality and produces a very full sound that makes you feel the music when you are on the dance floor or even when you are sitting down at the table. A special shout-out to Señora Botello, Leslie. She was a lovely addition and a great support throughout the evening. Together, she and Jonny make a fantastic team and helped everything flow beautifully. We are so grateful to God that we were blessed to have them at our wedding.

Hello! My name is Tony Coppola and I’d like to take this time to tell you a little bit about myself and CC King Entertainment. I began my musical journey when I was 12 years old as a singer and drummer. Over ten years ago, I built a home recording studio and named it CC King Studio. Shortly after, I DJ’d my first wedding and CC King Entertainment was born! After DJing hundreds of weddings, my business allowed me to leave my 16-year career as an occupational therapist. I ALWAYS go the extra mile to personalize my wedding services. I also have the distinct honor to work with an amazing team of Michigan wedding DJs!

CC King Entertainment Review – Outstanding DJ & Photo Booth Services! We recently hired CC King Entertainment for our Hawaiian themed birthday party, and they truly made the celebration unforgettable! From start to finish, their professionalism, energy, and attention to detail were exceptional. The DJ service was top-notch—Tommy played the perfect mix of songs to keep the party going all night. He knew how to read the crowd, seamlessly transitioning between genres and ensuring that everyone, from kids to adults, had a great time on the dance floor. He accommodated special song requests, lead the hula hoop contest and the limbo contest. He was great to work with. The photo booth was an absolute hit! It was set up beautifully, stocked with fun props, and provided high-quality prints for our guests to take home as keepsakes. Rafael was friendly and helpful, making sure everyone got their perfect shot. He also put together a book filled with copies of the pictures for my family to have as a keepsake and he encouraged guests to sign the book & add special messages. And then on top of that, we received a link to access digital copies of the photos! Wonderful added bonuses that we were not expecting! Overall, CC King Entertainment exceeded our expectations. Their services added so much energy and excitement to our party, and we can’t recommend them enough. If you’re looking for a DJ and photo booth that will elevate your event, CC King Entertainment is the way to go!

I have to start by saying that our friends and family enjoyed DJ Troy so much that they continually chanted his name throughout the reception. From the moment we first spoke with Troy, we knew we were in good hands. His communication was clear, comprehensive, and friendly, putting us at ease throughout the planning process. On our wedding day, he went above and beyond to be incredibly flexible with our less-than-perfect backyard dance floor setup - what a champ. He even incorporated a special cultural tradition dance we requested without advance notice (oops, thanks Troy). He brought incredible energy and thoughtfulness to introducing our loved ones and facilitating the toasts and speeches and he exemplified professionalism and kindness at EVERY turn.

It's been 3 weeks since we got married and we're STILL getting compliments on our DJ Tim! As soon as we had our zoom call with him I knew he'd be a great fit. He was so calm and relaxed and brought our stress level down. We were a little worried because neither of our families are big into dancing and didn't want the DJ to pressure them like we've seen at other weddings. But we had people consistently dancing the ENTIRE night. They all said they had so much fun and that he had an awesome music collection. All of his announcements were spot on and the way he faded out the music for the processional, my walk down the aisle, and special dances were perfect. I chose Craig and his team because their website/team was so unique. It was fun and definitely caught my attention. Their communication throughout the whole process was outstanding! Every text and email they sent was so kind and not pushy at all. I highly recommend them and DJ Tim!

We hired Intrinsic Groove to perform at our wedding in April 2026 and it was nothing short of INCREDIBLE. We watched a lot of videos and felt confident they were going to be great, but they far exceeded our expectations. They were high energy, crowd engaging, phenomenal performers who met the vibe every single time. Vocals were KILLER. So many of our guests said it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to and I credit a lot of that to the energy the band brought. On top of a killer reception, they also did incredible ceremony and cocktail hour music that made everything flow harmoniously. You just can’t beat a killer band for your wedding, worth every penny!
