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!

Awarded Best of Zola
Sweeney Barn was the perfect fit for our wedding day. Andrea was incredibly organized and responsive throughout the entire planning process, and she was always happy to answer questions from both my mother and me without hesitation. The space itself is stunning and didn't need much added to feel like an upscale venue as the chandeliers and openness of the structure provide a perfect backdrop. However, we did choose to add drapery and florals that enhanced the already beautiful space to exactly what wanted. We loved how versatile the barn was—we flipped the upstairs to work for both our ceremony and reception, while using the downstairs for cocktail hour, and this flexibility proved invaluable when the weather didn't cooperate on our day. The venue's requirements/preferred vendors work in favor for couples, or at least for us. Using a day-of coordinator as required, which I was hesitant about turned out to be one of the best decisions we made and we did this through Sublime Event Coordinator who worked with a preferred caterer, Genesis Delight Catering. Dianna at Sublime along with our day-of venue manager, Glynis, helped everything run smoothly and kept us stress-free. We couldn't have asked for a better experience with Sweeney Barn and highly recommend them to any couple looking for a beautiful, well-run venue.

Stephanie was fantastic to work with—super professional and incredibly kind. She was always quick to respond, worked seamlessly with our other vendors, and she was even able to make a custom mash up for us as a reflection of our multicultural wedding. The music was simply beautiful. Stephanie played each piece with such emotion and skill, creating the perfect romantic and upscale atmosphere that we wanted for our ceremony and reception. Several of our guests mentioned that Stephanie's performances were one of the highlights of the day, adding a special touch that truly made our wedding unforgettable. If you’re looking for a talented, fun, and professional violinist, Stephanie is the one. We can't recommend her enough and are so grateful for the magic she brought to our special day.

I had K&K Music Entertainment provide DJ and MC services for my wedding. Kevin was great with coordinating with the other vendors to ensure that the ceremony and timeline went smoothly. He curated a wonderful list of music that encompassed the vision I had for my ceremony and the music for the reception was perfect for keeping people up and on the dance floor! I cannot recommend Kevin enough! Thank you so much for helping make my wedding perfect!
