“Nikki was a crucial part of my my wedding day. Her communication style was easy, quick, friendly, professional, and flexible - she was incredibly responsive and made the entire process seamless. The quality of her work was nothing short of outstanding. Nikki is a true professional, with exceptional talent and an artistic, passionate approach. Her attention to detail was exceptional, as she took the time to understand exactly what I wanted for both my hair and makeup, along with my bridesmaids. She made us all look beautiful. The end result was flawless - she created a look that complemented my dress, skin, and hair perfectly, and my makeup and hair stayed picture-perfect throughout the entire wedding, and well into the night. I got married in 90 degree weather, and our hair and make up did not budge. I never felt more beautiful in my life. Nikki's presence was such a fun, calming influence on what could have been a stressful morning. She arrived early, brought assistant, set up quickly, and immediately made everyone feel at ease. I couldn't recommend Nikki highly enough for any bride-to-be looking for a versatile, talented beauty professional for their wedding day.”

“We hosted our wedding weekend at Casa Loma Beach Hotel recently, and it exceeded every expectation. With guests flying in from across the country and around the world, we heard nonstop praise about how cozy, elegant, and effortlessly chic the hotel felt (plus the cocktails and cookies were top notch). The staff was incredibly accommodating--helping with porterage, clear communication, and even a few lost-and-found rescues (thank you Amber!). Allene and Elisa were standout stars throughout the weekend helping us host several events at the hotel over three days - and stepping in to address curveballs from vendors and weather. When a once-in-a-blue-moon monsoon forced us to pivot from our planned rooftop events, the Casa Loma team handled the change with grace and creativity, preserving the overall vibe we envisioned. Guests-both locals and out-of-towners-couldn't stop raving about the views and the unbeatable location. Some spent time in the cute nooks and crannies throughout the hotel or relaxed on their balconies with those unmatched ocean views (when the rain finally let up), while others wandered over to Marine Room for late-night drinks thanks to the perfect location. And of course, the food via Sapphire was amazing! We were able to check off all our boxes when it came to cuisine and transport our guests to all ends of the earth with food from the Mediterranean, Malaysia, and South America. The Late Night Bites of sliders, fries and chicken tenders were crowd MVPs at our Afters. Thank you to the entire team for transforming a rained-out wedding weekend into the intimate, romantic wedding of our dreams.”

Awarded Best of Zola
“When I started planning my 40th birthday party, I couldn't decide between a band or a DJ. Each one I was looking at was just not the vibe and I was starting to get discouraged. Then, a friend of mine posted a story at a party where Tyler was DJing/playing the sax, and right away I knew he was the missing piece. I've attended parties with a sax player before, but NEVER like this and never one who does BOTH the DJing AND the sax! From the moment I reached out, Tyler was incredible. He followed up quickly and was great with all communications - we hopped on a call and to go over my theme and ideas, and he was so receptive and amazing with adding in things to help take my existing ideas to the next level. He even helped with the floor plan suggestions to help ensure my goal of "everyone being on the dance floor with me all night" would be more achievable - and omg am I glad I listened. Additionally, he suggested extending the party 1 hour, and thankfully we did because my initial timing guess was way off. Bottom line - trust him, HE KNOWS HIS STUFF. At the same time, he was never pushy and I never felt like I HAD to go with his ideas, but again, so glad I did. On the night of the party, from start to finish Tyler and his team were flawless. He made sure to play all of my "must play" songs, and read the vibes of the room perfectly - I've truly never seen some of my guests dance this much EVER. The amount of people who came up to me that night and have texted and called me since to tell me how epic Tyler and his team were is not surprising in the least. Multiple guests described it as the "best party they've ever been to" and said they "haven't danced that much since college" (and let's just say, it's been at least 15-20 years since then for all of us). One of my friends even booked him on the spot for her upcoming birthday! I could truly go on and on, but I will just end with this - DON'T THINK TWICE, DON'T BOTHER LOOKING ELSEWHERE, BOOK TYLER. You will NOT regret it! Thanks Tyler and team for the most epic night of my life!!! (also, I wish I could upload videos here because photos don't do any justice!!!)”

My name is Dominiq and I have been in the wedding industry since 2006. I absolutely LOVE what I do. My middle name is Jakob so my name is literally DJ, I was born for this. I have 6 sisters so not only do I love what I do, but I believe in it as a hopeless romantic at heart. I enjoy bringing together families and friends to forget about their problems for a day and just enjoy life and celebrate.

“DJ Dominiq was THE highlight of our wedding. My husband first met Dominiq at a friend’s wedding, and he came home saying he found our DJ. We feel so lucky his schedule was open on our date. My husband and I couldn’t narrow down our list of songs we wanted to hear, and somehow Dominiq managed to get every single one in, plus some other bangers not on our list during the reception. He was so great with the guests and the wedding party. At one point, one of our groomsmen was a bit drunk and didn’t have it together for the grand entrance, and Dominiq got him in shape. We’ve recommended him to anyone we know who is getting married, and if we ever need a DJ for another event, he will be our first call. He’s fun, engaging, and very attentive to what the bride and groom want. Book him. You won’t regret it.”

“Can't say enough positive things about our experience with Herbert from A Colored Mind. Picking the "right" photographer/videographer is definitely a personal decision and for us it came down to his creativity, professionalism, and understanding of our different cultures. We're kinda awkward and rarely take photos and videos of ourselves to share to others, let alone hire someone to do it. But he made the day so easy. He didn't get flustered or overwhelmed -- just a nice a balance which didn't ruin our ability to experience our day. I have dabbed in prosumer photography and videographer myself as a hobby, and let me tell you, he pays attentions to quality of the shot in terms of color/lighting/perspective. It's just beautiful. Very easy to work with in terms of edits. The shots are unreal. I encourage you to check out his web site and social media. Let his work speak for itself. Thank you Herbert for creating such an EPIC piece of our wedding day!”

“Elizabeth was an absolute dream to work with for my friends wedding day! From our very first interaction, she was so chill, friendly, and down to earth - making the hair and makeup process fun and stress-free. The quality of her work was truly amazing, delivering a unique and luxury look that felt perfectly tailored to me. She ended up doing hair and makeup for two of my friends after the bridal party saw how great I looked, and everyone was thrilled with the results. Elizabeth’s positive and creative energy was the perfect complement to our special day. I couldn't recommend her more highly!”

“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Peter on several events over the years, but having him DJ our wedding was an entirely different level of amazing! Peter is not only incredibly talented but also so kind and thoughtful. His attention to detail is unmatched—his music questionnaires are thorough and really allow you to customize your wedding playlist to fit your exact taste, rather than offering a generic mix. It was so refreshing to have music that truly reflected *us*. Since we didn’t have a wedding coordinator, Peter went above and beyond. He helped me review our timeline, offered helpful suggestions from his experience, and kept everything running smoothly throughout the day, making sure we stayed on track. Peter’s kindness shines through in everything he does. He genuinely cares about making sure your event is perfect. As a surprise bonus, he even created the sweetest highlight reel of our wedding day, which was such a thoughtful touch that I wasn’t expecting at all! If you’re looking for a DJ who will make your wedding day run seamlessly, deliver an amazing playlist, and genuinely care about your event, Peter is your guy. I can’t recommend him enough!”
