Listen… when I say this DLG Entertainment understood the assignment, I mean it! I stayed on the dance floor the entire night. Every song hit, the crowd was lit, and the energy never dropped. Deverin knew exactly what to play and when to play it. Hands down he is one of the best wedding DJs I’ve experienced!

If you are looking for a DJ for an upcoming event, Brandon is without any doubt the best DJ. He puts his heart and soul into providing the best experience anyone could ask for. When I was getting married in 2018, my husband and I immediately and without hesitation chose Brandon to be our DJ at our wedding. The moment he asked to meet with us and go over our wedding plans, we knew that we had to book him as our DJ. The attention to detail to include visiting the venue and seeing how he can optimize the venue's layout, truly goes a long way. It wasn't just the type of music that he was interested in, he was able to provide recommendations and the best experience for all our guests. The dance floor was never left empty and he created a special mix for my father/daughter dance that had everyone hyped. He truly made our wedding day truly special. I would definitely recommend Brandon if you want to have a fun, memorable party.

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!

I used Summit Events Co. for my December '24 wedding and could not recommend them more! DJ Ben was SO fun and really kept the party alive. He was such a pleasure to meet with ahead of time and asked us tons of questions to really understand our vision for the evening. He was truly a delight and even wore black, per my very annoying request :) He also had me get on the DJ board (just pretending) and it was a huge hit! Very fun, very adaptable! Summit Events Co. uses an app for all of your music and timeline needs and it was SUPER easy to use. It connects to Spotify, Youtube, and a few other platforms so I could just upload my playlists I had already worked on and it made everything really fast. We also got a photobooth which was AMAZING. It's hard to know when planning a wedding what is worth the extra cost but this hands down was worth it. Our attendant was such an angel and multiple people came up to me after to tell me how cool she was! Their pricing is super reasonable - very in line with other vendors I found and Ben was able to accommodate our specific budget while still making our vision come to life. Overall I would highly, HIGHLY recommend Summit Events Co!

David was absolutely amazing for our ceremony and reception! During the build-up to the day, he gave us insightful tips and tricks to use in our planning efforts. Additionally, he was always available to answer questions that my now-husband and I had. The ambiance he created at the reception area was perfect, and I can't take much credit for that. I told him our theme, and he knew exactly what to do. It was perfect. Lastly, when I told David I wanted to dance under the stars at the night's end, he made that happen. I have wonderful memories captured from beginning to end of family and friends on the dance floor or under the stars enjoying the music and celebrating with us.

Bill Carroll was more than a DJ at my mom's wedding. He genuinely cared about my mom's wishes and made it clear he wanted her to have the best wedding ever. It's like he became a member of our family leading up to and during the wedding. He made the entire process SO easy. When it came to the actual wedding day, everything went off without a hitch. My favorite part was when everyone left to line up and send off my mom and her new hubby, he played one final song for just the two of them to dance to, by themselves, on the dance floor. It was so incredibly touching. I can't recommend him enough. Absolute stand up guy and a DJ who knows what he's doing! Everyone had a blast. We love you, Bill Carroll!

Awarded Best of Zola
Love & Light Entertainment was the perfect DJ choice for our wedding. From the beginning, Josh and Lynn were incredibly organized, responsive, and attentive to all the details. They worked closely with our wedding coordinator to ensure the music and timing for the night ran seamlessly. Josh was especially flexible and collaborative, working with us to create a custom dinner playlist where each table was called up to the buffet line by a song from the album on their table. This personal touch was a huge hit with our guests. We had a smoke machine for our first dance that was having trouble, Josh fixed it enough to use it for some of the dancing throughout the night. We had put some songs on the dancing section of the portal that is set up for each couple (which is amazing) those songs were not played during the reception. There was a requests page and we probably should have put the songs we really wanted there, it is more direct than putting it on the dancing section, something for others to keep in mind. Josh also played a groomsmen and bridesmaids song. The groomsmen’s song was perfect for them, if I had known, I probably would have changed the bridesmaids choice. We loved the music that was picked and everyone continues to tell us how they had not seen a wedding where the dance floor was full the whole time. We also continue to get positive comments on how great the music choices were. Everyone loved our phone audio guest book. Josh let us use any phone we wanted as long as it had the cables he needed which is great when wanting to have a phone that matches your theme. Love & Light has a variety of services and packages to pick and choose from to meet anyone’s needs. Overall, Love & Light provided professional, high-quality service that exceeded our expectations and helped make our wedding day truly special.
