“When you hire Michael you’re not just hiring a DJ, you’re paying for an entire experience! We can’t thank Michael enough for his incredible dedication, professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment. From pre wedding prep to post wedding wrap up, Michael was there every step of the way going above and beyond accommodating and assisting with our requests, and made the entire process of song selection easy and fast with the use of modern apps. My wife and I are still recieving so many compliments from our guests praising how good the music was, how incredible the uplighting looked, and have already had couples reach out asking who we had for a DJ. Michael not only provided top tier music and lighting but also captured wonderful video from our ceremony to the dancing, and left us with a beautiful cinematic story to one day show our kids. Going with M.R.K entertainment will be the best decision you make for your wedding.”

“I've never worked with a DJ as good as Drew and his crew. Drew had sent me an email a few weeks before the couples wedding with the reception timeline (a first) and kept me up-to-date with any last minute changes the day of. It is clear by working with Drew how much he loves his job and how much he cares about the couples he works with. He got the crowd going, the dance floor was always packed and he invited the couple up to DJ booth which was so fun for them and also amazing for pictures.

“Justin did an INCREDIBLE job at our wedding. His preparation and attention to detail beforehand was immaculate, as he spent over an hour with my partner and me going over the entire wedding day step by step. The sound systems were flawless- everyone could hear our vows during the ceremony and the quality of the sound during the entire day and night was exceptional. He kept our wedding very organized and was the perfect host. Regarding the music selection, he allowed us to make playlists for the cocktail hour and reception which he stuck to using beautiful transitions between songs. Our guests were dancing the entire night! All of our guests said it was the most fun wedding they had ever attended. 10/10 DJ, would definitely recommend him for any event.

“Hiring CC was one of the best wedding decisions we made! From the beginning, Dan was super responsive and clear about the band’s style, availability and price. After booking, Dan was great about answering questions and keeping in touch about song requests, timeline and other important wedding items. If you’re looking for a band that you would want to dance and sing along with at a fun bar or party, on top of being extremely talented musicians, these are your people. They also understand weddings and are willing to take on fun challenges. They took the time to successfully pull off many requests such as: - My requests and timing for the ceremony music which included acoustic renditions of Harvest Moon, With a Little Help from my Friends and Here, There, and Everywhere. They also take care of the sound systems and mic set up for the ceremony. - An amazing live rendition of Touch Me by The Doors for our reception entrance - Another amazing live rendition of Come Sail Away by Styx for our first dance which transitioned into open dance floor for all guests - Helping me pull off a surprise outfit change/re entrance into the party which included allowing me to join the band to sing Just A Girl by No Doubt. My guests had nothing but great things to say about CC and applauded their crowd work and musical talent. I also highly recommend paying to add on the sax player. They were AMAZING and added the perfect touch. Overall, Champagne Casanova is completely worth it for your wedding. I would hire them again in a heartbeat!!”

They were timely and responsive leading up to the wedding and carefully considered our requests. They also set up a sound system and music stand for my grandma who officiated. Their ceremony acoustic music was beautiful and the cocktail hour music was wonderful in the background.

They started by taking us to breakfast to understand our vision for the day, ensuring every detail was perfect. Andrew, in particular, was incredibly helpful and went above and beyond his typical job description. His attention to detail and organizational skills were outstanding. We faced a challenge in finding a bagpiper for the church, but Andrew took it upon himself to find one at the last minute, seamlessly pulling everything together.

“If we could give Main Event DJs a thousand stars, we would. BOOK THEM. You will not regret it! My husband and I got married on October 3, 2026, and I genuinely cannot imagine our wedding day without the incredible people at Main Event DJs. From the ceremony to the very last song of the night, they helped make our wedding everything we ever dreamed of and somehow even more. First, KIBAR. THE MAN. THE LEGEND. Where do we even begin?! Kibar was absolutely PHENOMENAL. Not only is he an incredibly talented DJ, but he is genuinely such a wonderful person. From the beginning, he made us feel comfortable, excited, and confident that our wedding was in the best hands. And WOW, did he deliver! Kibar also played live piano for our ceremony and cocktail hour, which was such a beautiful and meaningful addition to our day. The music created the most incredible atmosphere, and having that personal touch made those moments even more special. And then came the reception. I don’t think I’ve ever danced so much in my entire life, and that is saying something! Kibar absolutely BLEW IT OUT OF THE PARK. The music, the energy, the transitions, the way he read the room and kept everyone on their feet… absolutely unmatched. Our dance floor was PACKED, and our guests have not stopped talking about how incredible the music was. We danced our hearts out all night long, and I genuinely wish I could go back and experience that dance floor just one more time. What makes Kibar so special is that he doesn’t just play music. He creates an experience. He understood exactly what we envisioned for our celebration and brought it to life better than we could have imagined. He helped create the kind of night where you look around at everyone you love, singing and dancing together, and realize you’re living a memory you’ll cherish forever. And we absolutely have to recognize Jacqui and the officiant concierge services! Jacqui was such a wonderful part of our wedding experience. She was kind, attentive, organized, and genuinely invested in helping make our ceremony meaningful and seamless. She helped guide us through the officiating process and made everything feel so much easier. Having that support while planning such an important moment meant more than she knows. Our ceremony was incredibly personal and emotional, and we are so grateful for the role she played in helping bring it all together. To the entire Main Event DJs team, thank you for being such an unforgettable part of the best day of our lives. You helped create the atmosphere for some of our most treasured memories, from the tears during our ceremony to the absolute chaos and joy on the dance floor. If we could go back and do it all over again, we would choose this team a thousand times over. Kibar, you are truly one of a kind, and Jacqui, we are so grateful for your kindness and support. To any couple considering Main Event DJs: STOP LOOKING AND BOOK THEM. Your wedding deserves people who care this much and are this incredible at what they do. October 3rd will forever be the best day of our lives, and this team helped make it absolutely unforgettable. From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU!”

“We hired Golden Scroll Soloists for our wedding cocktail hour and reception in Connecticut. Coordinating with Kevin was seamless, efficient and professional. They accommodated our highly specific setlist, executing accurate string arrangements across multiple classic and contemporary genres. They also were flexible with timing adjustments. Their pricing was fair and delivered great value for a live ensemble. They also operated autonomously with strict professionalism on the day of the event. Their execution of our custom requests was exceptional (we wanted certain songs played at specific times during the wedding day). Highly recommended for couples seeking reliable, precise musical accompaniment! Our guests actually thought they were listening to a DJ/playlist, that's how good Golden Scroll was!”

“John is an amazing DJ . Having him from the moment we chose him to the day of our wedding having the monthly check ins really helped make the process easier. One thing we really loved is he played all our request. He worked around our schedule, using video chat to finalize everything was great !

“Lindsay Straw was exactly what we needed for our wedding day. From our first conversation, she was responsive and easy to work with, taking time to understand what we wanted. She went above and beyond by learning new songs specifically for us, which meant so much. She included Irish songs for my husbands family, and learned two new songs for our ceremony (You’ve got a friend in me, Noah Kahan). Her acoustic guitar work was stunning and set the perfect tone for our ceremony. We'd recommend her without hesitation to any couple looking for a live musician.”

“From the moment we first spoke with Brian, we knew we were in great hands. He’s so easy to talk to, professional, and truly on top of everything. Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, and Brian was there every step of the way—not just as our DJ, but as a calming and supportive presence. He gave us great suggestions on song choices to keep the energy upbeat and make sure all age groups felt included. When I was unsure about other vendors like hair and makeup, Brian even stepped in with thoughtful recommendations—he really goes above and beyond. On the big day, everything flowed perfectly. Brian kept the schedule on track, the energy high, and the dance floor full. We wanted the music to reflect both me and my husband’s taste, and Brian made it all come together seamlessly. We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ. He was such a big part of what made our day unforgettable. Thank you, Brian!”
