“We had DJ John for our wedding and I honestly can’t say enough good things about him. From the very beginning, his communication was incredible; always quick to respond, super helpful, and just so easy to talk to. He didn’t just help us with music—he helped guide the entire flow of our day. From timelines to transitions, he made sure everything ran smoothly and stress-free. My husband and I had so much fun working with him. He really took the time to get to know us and what we envisioned, and we felt so comfortable bouncing ideas off him. On the actual day of the wedding, John truly showed up for us. Every single part, from the ceremony to the selfie booth, everything was absolutely perfect. He had our backs the whole day and made it feel effortless. And the party? Oh my gosh. He had us dancing all night long. He brought so much energy and joy to the reception—it felt like our wedding came to life the second the music started. John, thank you for being such a huge part of our day. We appreciate all the hard work and efforts! We’ll never forget it!”

“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 used Jeremy as the DJ for our wedding in 2018, and he was an absolute star. He did the music at my company's holiday party the year before, and we knew we wanted to find him for our wedding! His organization and professionalism were top notch - and filling out the "must play" and "must not play" lists was really fun to do - we got to think about all of our favorite songs that we were excited to hear, and make sure he knew which songs were off limits for us. Because of that, our wedding felt super personalized, and we loved every song that played! We were also particularly thrilled with his execution of cocktail hour - we requested instrumental versions of modern/classic rock songs, and he found SO MANY great versions of so many great songs. When we talk to family and friends about our wedding, they without fail mention how much they loved the instrumental version of "Wake Me Up Inside" by Evanescence. After our wedding, we recommended him to friends of ours and we got to see him again at their wedding the following year! I would give him more stars than 5 if I could.”

“Working with 196 Events was a game-changer for our wedding day. From our first conversation, the team was easy to talk to and genuinely interested in what we wanted—they even swapped out the traditional ceremony entertainment for a portable photo booth during cocktail hour, which our guests absolutely loved. They added thoughtful touches like a custom TV display with our names and let me design the photo booth prints myself using Canva, which made everything feel personal. Their flexibility and expertise meant we could collaborate on every detail instead of just checking boxes. We felt heard throughout the whole process, and they delivered exactly what we envisioned. We'd recommend 196 Events to any couple looking for a band that actually listens and cares about making their reception unforgettable.”

“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.”

“Every event needs Ezra!!! We could not have imagined our wedding without him! He was so great to work with throughout the whole process, really tailoring each aspect of entertainment to exactly what we were looking for. He is an absolute master when it comes to all things music! We had the sax/guitar duet for cocktail hour and sax/dj combo for the reception. Our guests are still raving about how great he was. Our main request for Ezra was we wanted the dance floor packed all night and that's exactly what we got!! He makes the process so easy and was available for anything we may have needed. With submitting only a few songs/vibes that we wanted, he was able to create an amazing playlist that matched exactly what we were looking for. We cannot thank Ezra enough for his part in our special day! We cannot recommend him enough!!”

“As a bride who planned pretty much every detail of our wedding myself, finding vendors I could truly trust was SO important—and Crow Entertainment absolutely delivered! DJ Anthony was AMAZING from start to finish. From our ceremony, where his music timing had literally everyone crying, to the reception where we literally could NOT get off the dance floor!!! He absolutely nailed it. Our guests are still talking about how much fun they had! He kept the energy high all night, read the crowd so well, and was awesome about coordinating the schedule with us and being flexible with our last-minute changes. The photobooth was also a HUGE hit! We and our guests kept it busy all night, the prints were great quality, and the digital copies were even better—and came back to us pretty quickly after the wedding which was a nice bonus! DJ, lighting, photobooth, fog machine—they’ve got it ALL! We genuinely loved working with Crow Entertainment and could not recommend them enough. They were such a huge part of making our wedding night everything we wanted it to be!”
