If you are looking for DJs who will curate your music vibe perfectly, keep the party going all night long, and also be fun and super professional people, look no further than Cascade Live Events! Mike and Gabe were so nice and prepared for our big day. They brought music and microphones to three different locations onsite for us to have music/mics at our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. We sent in some guiding playlists for the reception and a pretty specific music request for our ceremony and they executed it all flawlessly (which made for the most magical recessional!). We told them we wanted to be on the dance floor with our friends all night and they seriously played hit after hit after hit! We truly only left the dance floor for bathroom breaks and drink refills. We also had the package with party lights and SERIOUSLY, it's so worth it to make your dance floor feel inviting and fun! Even our photographer and wedding coordinator complimented Mike and Gabe for being extra collaborative with them, especially when we were running a little behind schedule. Lastly, we are two brides and Mike always made us feel welcome and accepted throughout the booking/communication process and of course, the wedding day itself. We could not be happier with our choice of DJ; the rest of the wedding weekend, we, along with our friends/family, kept saying how we wished we could do it all again for another night on that dance floor! It was truly the best party of our lives, all thanks to Cascade Live Events!

The live musician team has been absolutely phenomenal to work with. They provide me and my clients with any type of musician requested — from ceremony to cocktail hour and beyond. Their response time is incredibly fast, and their knowledge of music and event flow is outstanding. Tara, who runs the team, is truly the best. She works extremely hard, can find any musician I need, and consistently responds in under five minutes. As an entertainer myself, having a reliable and organized music team is everything — and my clients absolutely love her musicians. They always arrive on time, are professional, and execute exactly what the bride and groom envision, flawlessly.

From the moment we met with Luvdup DJs, we knew they were the perfect choice to provide the music and entertainment for our wedding.

Overall, we had a good experience with our DJ. He arrived on time, was professional throughout the evening, and kept our guests on the dance floor for most of the night. The music flowed well, and everyone seemed to have a great time. That said, I did spend a lot of time carefully selecting songs that were meaningful to us, and I was a little disappointed that many of those selections weren't played. Some of our requested songs were included, but I had hoped more of our playlist would be incorporated into the evening. The only other issue was that, just before our grand exit, he approached us to mention that he hadn't received enough food. We had paid for a vendor meal for him, so I wasn't sure what had happened, and it didn't feel like the best time to bring it up while we were in the middle of such a special moment. Despite those concerns, he was friendly, punctual, and our guests clearly enjoyed themselves. If having a lively dance floor is your top priority, he does a good job creating a fun atmosphere.

I was blown away by the talent of the musicians, they really take their craft seriously. I requested a Roaring Twenties theme from Louis Pettinelli and they went above and beyond to make it happen. The singer Karlea was phenomenal and did an amazing job of keeping our guests engaged and entertained. The musicians were all courteous, professional, and exceptionally talented. They dressed appropriately for our wedding theme and many of the guests at the Hawthorne Hotel wanted to take pictures with Karlea in her Twenties attire. In addition to being a wonderful experience, they were also a great value for the price. These are top quality musicians and we paid a reasonable price for the band.

Alan C was easy and great to work with! We had a music range from Bad Bunny, Creed, The Killers and more! We shared with him a playlist of some of our favorite songs, a list of "do not play" whether they were styles of music, artists or specific songs and a "must play" list. His online forum was easy to navigate and use. We loved the uplighting and the audio guestbook (phone)!! Also I appreciate that he read and followed through with all the small notes we left for him (specifically we asked for father/daughter, mother/son and first dance to end after the chorus and not play the entire 3-4 minutes). Such a great time. We received so many compliments on our music and the dance floor was busy all night long! He was always very responsive and quick to work with any last minute changes (we had a rainy day).

If I could give The Barnstorm Band more than five stars, I would! They performed at our wedding on June 14 at The Roundhouse in Beacon, NY, and they absolutely exceeded every expectation. From the elegant and heartfelt ceremony music to the last song of the night, they were phenomenal. The dance floor was packed from the moment they started playing until the very end of the reception. They have an incredible ability to read the crowd, keep the energy high, and seamlessly transition between songs to keep everyone engaged and having the time of their lives. Our guests are still talking about how amazing the band was and how much fun they had dancing all night. What truly set The Barnstorm Band apart was their willingness to make our wedding feel uniquely ours. We are huge fans of Phish and Goose, and they actually learned songs specifically for our wedding. Not only did they learn them, but they absolutely nailed them! It was such a special and personal touch that meant the world to us and made the celebration even more memorable. Beyond their musical talent, they were professional, responsive, easy to work with, and clearly passionate about what they do. They brought sophistication when the moment called for it and then turned the reception into an unforgettable party. If you want a band that will wow your guests, keep the dance floor packed, and create memories that last a lifetime, book The Barnstorm Band immediately. They were one of the best decisions we made for our wedding, and we couldn't recommend them more highly.

Before planning anything else about our wedding we already knew that the most important thing was going to be making sure it had an incredible dance floor. We had been joking during planning that a wedding was the biggest party you’ll ever throw and we wanted everyone to remember having fun dancing the night away. Matt at Supersounds made sure that that dream came true. It is clear why Supersounds was on all of our vendors’ recommended lists; they are all incredibly professional, organized, responsive, and kind. After talking with Matt we knew he would be the perfect DJ for our wedding. It was clear he was both easy going but passionate about what he does. Throughout the planning process he was able to give us advice on ceremony logistics, music, and cut together our first dance song. He helped explain what his role usually was on the wedding day and made sure that it agreed with our vision. He did an excellent job mixing the ceremony and adjusting the volumes on the microphone on the fly so that all of the audience was able to hear throughout. We had a lot of music that we knew we wanted played at the reception and cocktail hour and Matt hit all of our must plays while mixing in some extra songs that the crowd loved. The dance floor was alive the entire party and he even surprised us by sneaking in an extra final song by our favorite artist. All of our friends have told us what a great time they had at our wedding and it was in no small part thanks to Matt and Supersounds! We would absolutely hire them again and recommend them to any of our friends!

My wife and I got married two days ago, and hiring DJ Chris Johnston was one of the best decisions we made. I would recommend him to anyone without hesitation. I could not wait to write him a review. Music was really important to us, and we have pretty eclectic tastes, with different genres and must-play songs we each cared about. I was getting a bit stressed during the planning process, but Chris was incredibly patient and easy to work with. After meeting with him, it became clear the best approach was to give him our key songs and overall vibe, then trust him to read the room, that turned out to be exactly right. Our wedding crowd was diverse in age and music preferences, and Chris handled it perfectly. He seamlessly balanced different styles and kept the dance floor going all night. In just the past two days, we've had people of all ages tell us how great the music was. This is just one example of many messages we've received: "I don't know who picked your music selection, but it was the best ever. It had a lot of our kind of music, then switched back and forth with the younger generation's music. Loved it!" What's impressive is that while he played our must-play songs, a lot of the night was driven by his instincts, and he absolutely nailed it. We're incredibly grateful for his role in making our night so memorable. If you're considering a DJ, book Chris, you won't regret it.

DJ Domenic was amazing!! We had him at our wedding for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. He was so professional from start to finish, played ALL of our must-plays and other awesome hits all throughout the night. So many of our guests said they were so impressed that he played hit after hit after hit - they wanted to just keep going even when the night ended! The music was a perfect volume to enjoy, the vibes were great, and he was checking in and confirming with us on special and important moments to ensure everything ran smoothly. His communication throughout planning was great and he was overall just very kind and wonderful to work with. Could not recommend him highly enough! Hire DJ Domenic for your wedding!!

The music was fantastic, the lights around the room were done perfectly and the dancing on the clouds made the pictures look like a dream What stood out most was their approachability. They were incredibly easy to talk to, and my wife had zero problems making last-minute changes – they handled it with ease and a smile.

Wedding advice: hire Cover Story Entertainment! We worked with CSE for our July wedding. We went with the ceremony package, 6-piece band as well as their uplighting and photo booth services. Our experience with CSE from start to finish was 10/10. Chris and Elena are incredibly organized, communicative, and responsive. They always answered all of our questions (and I asked many!) Alec, Alex, Savannah, and the rest of the band members rocked it all night. One of the first things guests commented on about our wedding was how amazing the band was. One of our guests commented that they wish they could cancel their DJ and fly CSE to their wedding in Portugal because they loved them so much. Extremely talented musicians for an awesome price, which make a huge difference when wedding planning. When we reflect on our wedding day, Cover Story is a huge part of what made it such a memorable night. -MK AJ Dunne
