“We don’t even know where to start with this review! From the start, Ben and his team took our and our family’s questions about how to approach our wedding. With half of our family being Latino, it took some time to find the right fit in the area. We wanted a good mix where the entire room could have fun and feel included. Ben absolutely nailed it day of. We’ve heard from multiple guests how they’ve never seen a wedding dance floor full for the whole wedding like at ours and how there was music for everyone. Aside from that, Summit invested time in us before the wedding through multiple planning calls and their awesome app where we can slowly build out our event with preferences. We will be recommending Summit to anyone that asks and look forward to any future partnership. Your search can definitely end here!”

“Rick Pfamatter from Black Tie Entertainment is definitely one of the best DJ’s in the business. On top of his music and M/C expertise, Rick also maintained stellar and timely communication throughout our wedding planning process. He met with us on two separate occasions to discuss timelines and finalize details. He also took the time to reach out to everyone who was speaking at our wedding to make sure they were comfortable and prepared. Something I loved that Rick did was that he had us select a first song to get the dance floor started and a last song to close it out. This was so awesome, because Rick knew how important it was for us to keep a lively dance floor at our wedding. And I can confidently say that my husband and I barely left the dance floor all night! Rick is absolutely amazing, and you will not regret having him DJ your wedding!”

Alex led a thorough discovery/onboarding call with us and after getting to know us, paired us with DJ Femmy who was the perfect compliment for the 2000s millennial hip hop and modern day pop hits we were looking for. DJ Femmy played several extra songs and we received so many compliments on our DJ. One of the best parts of working with Toussaint Productions is their planning app, which was so helpful in organizing music for all the key moments of the day and for bringing to light moments that weren't even on my radar!

“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.”

“We absolutely loved working with Carol and Joey. They are an amazing husband and wife wedding team. We hired them just a month before our wedding when we realized we needed an MC, and we ended up adding Carol for day-of coordinating too. It turned out to be one of the best decisions we made. Carol met with Haley (the bride) multiple times a week leading up to the wedding to make sure every detail was covered. She has such a positive, calming spirit, and she brought a sense of relief even before the big day. That alone was priceless. She also took the time to really get to know our families and friends, which helped everything run so naturally and smoothly. On the wedding day, we had two pretty major and time-sensitive vendor shortfalls, and Carol handled both effortlessly. She kept everything under control without involving the bride and groom and was incredible at delegating tasks to the right people to make sure everything got done. She showed up fully prepared, emergency kit and all, and saved the day more than once. Joey did an amazing job keeping the party going. He brought awesome lighting for the dance floor, and he even set up lights in dimly lit areas so guests wouldn’t trip or fall. They both clearly care about everyone having a great time, but they put safety first, which we appreciated so much. Joey also took all of our music preferences and seamlessly wove them into the night so everything flowed perfectly. They brought their son as well, who was such an incredible support and a huge help throughout the day. A few weeks post-wedding day, they even hopped on a debrief call with us to walk through how everything went and help us give accurate feedback to our other vendors. Their professionalism, kindness, and genuine care went far beyond anything we expected. Our wedding day was so special because of them. We couldn’t recommend Carol and Joey more.”

“DJ Myra was great! She made the planning process very easy, from the website to the pre-event zoom meeting. She was very professional from start to finish. We had such a great time at our wedding and so did our guests- she definitely knew how to keep people dancing, and they enjoyed being able to submit requests. I recommend her to anyone needing a DJ for your wedding! Thank you DJ Myra for everything!”

“Josh and Traci are a dream team. It was a pleasure to work with them. From the first phone consultation, I knew I had made the right choice. Josh was extremely amenable to all requests and went above and beyond to help ensure an incredible experience. My reception was so much fun in large part thanks to Josh’s DJing. Tracey did a wonderful job with the Photo Booth from the background to the props to ensuring a fun experience for us and our guests. I really could not recommend them higher. We got so much added value from their services. We definitely got our money’s worth—more than we paid for really. I highly recommend them both!”

“We cannot say enough great things about booking The Lone Rangers with Sam Hill Entertainment. Booking them for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made! From the very first song to the last, they kept the energy high and the dance floor packed. Nearly every guest was on the dance floor at one point during the night, and they truly kept the party going. My new father-in-law was, and is still, talking about how amazing the band was. They completely brought the reception to life. Leading up to the wedding, the band leader, Nate, was incredibly communicative and easy to work with, which made the planning process smooth and stress-free. On the day of the wedding, they were phenomenal across the board. The piano music during our ceremony was beautiful and set the perfect tone, and they did an excellent job MC-ing the reception. One of our favorite moments was how engaged the female singer was with the crowd. She brought so much fun energy and made a point to involve many of the kids and teenagers throughout the night, which was such a hit and made everyone feel included. It added an extra layer of joy and made the celebration even more memorable. Working with Sam Hill Entertainment was a pleasure and they make the process of booking a great band for your wedding very straightforward and smooth!”

“Where do I even begin?! Seth was absolutely incredible and played such a huge part in making our wedding the best night of our lives. From the very beginning, he was a consummate professional, organized, and so easy to work with. He stayed in touch throughout the planning process, sent helpful spreadsheets, and made creating our perfect wedding playlist completely stress-free. The energy he brought to our reception was unmatched. Our dance floor was packed all night long, and guests are still talking about how much fun they had. Adding Seth's disco light package was one of the best decisions we made, it completely transformed the space and created the most magical atmosphere. What meant the most to us was how invested he was in making our day special. Toward the end of the night, he even let my husband jump into the DJ booth, which became one of our favorite memories. Seth, thank you for helping create memories we'll cherish forever. We are beyond grateful for everything you did. If you're considering booking him, do it…you will not regret it!”
