Michael Ramos with District Remix kept the dance floor going all night at our wedding! We shared some playlists with him for the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and the dance floor, and he completely understood the vibes we were going for and ran with it, working in everything from Irish folk songs to KPop Demon Hunters to Bruce Springsteen. So many guests told us the music felt just like “us” and commented on what a great DJ Michael was. As the bride, I even postponed changing into my “late night” dress because I wanted to spend more time on the dance floor! I absolutely recommend hiring District Remix and Michael in particular - you won’t regret it!

First and foremost, congratulations! This is an exciting time! Before I begin with all the details, I would like to do away with the formalities and keep it light. Technically speaking, I’m a photographer, but honestly, since establishing my business in 2014, I would consider myself a teammate through this process. I’ve really enjoyed getting to know couples, their families, their stories, and at the end of the day, becoming a good friend. If this vibes with you, we are off to a good start :) Answering questions, transparency in communication, and prompt responses are important to me and I hope that everything I share resonates.

Awarded Best of Zola
Wow, we have been blown away by Justin. He did a beautiful engagement shoot for us. His work is incredibly fairly priced, and is truly a steal for the quality and quantity of photos you get. He was prompt at responding to me, getting me his information, and booking our shoot. At the photo shoot, he made us feel so comfortable and like we are the most photogenic people, despite any nerves we may have had. We got previews in less than 24 hours and our full gallery in 2.5 weeks. The photos are gorgeous. It was hard to pick which ones we want to post and which ones we want to use for invitations because they’re literally all SO good! 10/10 would recommend Justin for your photography needs!!

Awarded Best of Zola
We had the pleasure of working with DJ Wong from MyDeejay. A quick review of MyDeejay: They were excellent to work with. They paired us with DJ Wong after we filled out a quick survey about the vibe we wanted for our wedding, and it was smooth sailing from there. It's clear from working DJ Wong that MyDeejay vets their DJs very well and ensures they're all professional and great to work with. Now for DJ Wong: He's got all of the main things you want in a vendor--professionalism, responsiveness, expertise, etc.), but he goes well above and beyond those standards. He provided ceremony music, background music, reception music, and uplighting, but that's just the starting point of everything he did for us. We were PICKY and we had A LOT of requests, and he accommodated them all flawlessly and eagerly. We requested he alter versions of some of our selected songs to adjust for timing, blending parts of songs together, and very particular transitions between songs. He made everything sound amazing! We had not 1, not 2, but FIVE choreographed dances throughout the evening, and he executed the timing of everything perfectly. The sound was incredible! In addition to that, because we were completely over-the-top for our wedding, DJ Wong so graciously and excitedly fulfilled our request to have KARAOKE at our reception. It was SO MUCH FUN!!! We had a very particular vibe in mind from our wedding--we wanted our ceremony, cocktail hour, and dinner to be classy and jazzy, and then for the reception dancing we wanted a mix of Pop anthems from the past 3 decades--DJ Wong understood the assignment perfectly! We were also at a very large venue and he had to provide sound across many different areas throughout the evening, but he came fully prepared and did an excellent job. We received so many compliments about the ambience for the entire evening, and we attribute that to him! On top of everything else, DJ Wong is an excellent MC and can read a room flawlessly. He kept the vibes up the entire evening, and struck the perfect balance of engaging with the audience and letting the music do the work. We are so grateful we had him for our special day!

I truly cannot thank Swept, LLC enough for the amazing experience they gave me and my wedding party. From the moment I reached out, the owner Jamie went above and beyond. Just a week before my wedding, I unexpectedly came down with Bell’s Palsy. I was terrified about how I’d look and feel on such an important day, but after texting with Jamie, my fears quickly started to fade. She immediately reassured me, offered support, and even researched techniques to help with the facial droop—though in the end, we didn’t need them. Her professionalism, kindness, and compassion were unlike anything I’ve experienced. Jamie thoughtfully matched me with artists who were perfect for my needs. Wendie was on point with the makeup—flawless, natural, and exactly what I envisioned. Meghan nailed my hairstyle and brought my vision to life with so much care. And Kristen absolutely rocked the curls on my bridesmaids—the girls looked stunning! Everyone on the glam team was not only incredibly talented but also warm, understanding, and sensitive to my condition. They made me feel completely at ease. When they finished, I looked in the mirror and cried—I never knew I could feel so beautiful. It wasn’t just about hair and makeup—it was about confidence, comfort, and care on one of the biggest days of my life. Swept wasn’t just a vendor; they became friends throughout this journey. My entire bridal party looked amazing, and I felt like the very best version of myself. Huge thank you to Jamie and the entire team at Swept for being such an important and uplifting part of our day. If you're looking for a glam team that truly cares and delivers beyond expectations, look no further.

Sarah and the rest of the Events by Rose team were the MVPs of our wedding planning process. From the start Sarah took time to get to know us as a couple, to ensure our wedding day reflected who we are. Sarah was always 10 steps ahead, thinking about every little detail of our special day. Her organization was extremely impressive to see first hand. Even the vendors we spoke with face-to-face raved about her organization, professionalism, and how easy it is to work with her. I think it speaks volumes that everyone she interacts with (clients and vendors alike) love to work with her. She is outstanding at balancing all the moving parts of a wedding with ease, and always made sure we felt comfortable with every step of the process. Sarah always took the time to help us finetune even the smallest of details, making sure the day would include everything we wanted. So many of our friends have said the wedding process was one of the most stressful times in their lives, but we did not have that experience at all and this is hugely attributed to Sarah and her team. The experience was enjoyable and exciting, and we never once found ourselves overwhelmed. We would have never been able to make it to our wedding day while still having fun, if we didn’t have Sarah leading our team. On the day of our wedding, Sarah and her team were OUTSTANDING! We felt cared for by each member of the team and our guests felt the entire day flowed perfectly, all thanks to Sarah. Every small detail was planned out and went exactly as planned. Sarah went above and beyond, making sure we had everything we needed, all while managing our vendors and guests. If you are wondering if you should hire Events by Rose for your wedding the answer is absolutely yes! Thanks again Sarah and the Events by Rose team for everything you did, we literally could not have done it without you. You helped make our perfect wedding day a reality!

Blacpoet Entertainment was a fantastic choice for our wedding entertainment! From the very beginning, his communication was prompt, in-depth, professional, and sweet with updates on holidays! He was great with checking in as the weeks rolled by. Blacpoet Entertainment clearly worked hard and paid close attention to every detail to ensure our special day was perfect. DJ Audwin gave an awesome DJ set that had people dancing all night long. We can't thank him enough for keeping the energy high and making sure everyone had a blast! Blacpoet Entertainment provided incredible value and we highly recommend them to any couple looking for top-notch wedding entertainment. THANK YOU SO SO MUCH!!!

Renee, Krista and the entire team at RCC were incredible. My biggest fear was that I would be too worried about keeping everyone on time that I wouldn't be able to enjoy the day, but I honestly had no idea what time it was all day, and everything went off without a hitch! Their planning style and helpful questions were vital in figuring out what we wanted in the day. It was so comforting to have such a professional team say "oh we got it" and get it done. Thank you Krista and team for saving my dress when the cake cutting got messy! They were reliable, fun, coordinated and professional, I am SO glad they were a part of our day, I could not speak more highly of the experience.

Brandon and his wife were such an amazing duo at our wedding. Brandon was incredibly easy to work with; he's laid back, professional, incredibly confident. He knows exactly what he's doing and he is the reason we felt so calm heading into our wedding day. He got to know us, played exactly what we asked, took requests and weaved them into the night with ease. Our dance floor was packed our entire wedding! I wouldn't have wanted to work with anyone else for our wedding day. My husband and I continue to get compliments about our wedding in Aril and our DJ/music is one of the main ones we get. Highly recommend!!
