Tim was great from the moment we hired him to the very last minute of our wedding!! Communicative up until day of and knocked it out of the park with music! We had a bit of a shorter wedding day and limited time to set up, but he was great through it all. We had a snafu before our ceremony with our officiant and he was very understanding and helpful about the delay, it really eased my worries. We had a very small venue and his set up was perfect - I never felt cramped even though our dancing space was small. I will be recommending him to all my friends in need of an awesome DJ!

Chime entertainment is an all around amazing vendor for DJ/MCEE, Photo booth, and videography services. Our day was amazing thanks to them! The Photo Booth added such a fun touch to the evening and was definitely a huge hit with all the funny props! It also left us with a full digital album of all of our guests having the time of their lives and was immediately available for us to look at (which came in handy while we waited for our wedding photos to come back). Everyone wont stop talking about how fun/perfect our wedding was and these guys were definitely the reason. Adam D, our main contact, was always quick to respond and always available when it came to answering our questions. Our DJ, George, was incredible, not only keeping the energy high all night but also stepping in to help coordinate the evening. He read the room perfectly, checked in with us throughout, and adapted seamlessly to any changes. We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ and MC. Our videographer, Leeland, went above and beyond to capture our day beautifully. He brought such fun energy while also knowing when to step back and let private moments unfold naturally. His balance of presence and discretion made us feel so comfortable, and we’re so grateful he was part of our day. If you are looking for amazing DJ and videography services at an affordable price, go with these guys!

  • Serves Southgate, MI

Hello! My name is Tony Coppola and I’d like to take this time to tell you a little bit about myself and CC King Entertainment. I began my musical journey when I was 12 years old as a singer and drummer. Over ten years ago, I built a home recording studio and named it CC King Studio. Shortly after, I DJ’d my first wedding and CC King Entertainment was born! After DJing hundreds of weddings, my business allowed me to leave my 16-year career as an occupational therapist. I ALWAYS go the extra mile to personalize my wedding services. I also have the distinct honor to work with an amazing team of Michigan wedding DJs!

Awarded Best of Zola
Tony was our DJ for our wedding in August and did a fantastic job!! He was extremely responsive to all of our questions during the planning process and had a questionnaire we filled out to make sure all the music and speeches were covered. We had a consultation meeting prior to the event where we went over all the details and approved all of the music we had selected. Tony kept the dance floor packed all night long! We even had the grandparents up and dancing during the night! Our guests commented on how fun the reception was. Tony also went above and beyond and made sure we were taken care of as we were settling in at the sweetheart table for dinner. Would recommend hiring CC King Entertainment for your wedding or event!

I have to start by saying that our friends and family enjoyed DJ Troy so much that they continually chanted his name throughout the reception. From the moment we first spoke with Troy, we knew we were in good hands. His communication was clear, comprehensive, and friendly, putting us at ease throughout the planning process. On our wedding day, he went above and beyond to be incredibly flexible with our less-than-perfect backyard dance floor setup - what a champ. He even incorporated a special cultural tradition dance we requested without advance notice (oops, thanks Troy). He brought incredible energy and thoughtfulness to introducing our loved ones and facilitating the toasts and speeches and he exemplified professionalism and kindness at EVERY turn.

We are a distinguished female-powered collective comprised of talented classically trained musicians. We’re here to provide the most creative and professional services available with some of the finest trained musicians known for their ability to perform exceptional music from classical to contemporary. We will transform any song list with the beauty and intensity of string instrumentation that will add an unforgettable spark.

We are so glad we went with Midtown Strings for our wedding ceremony and reception! It was important to us that we support women-owned businesses and Midtown Strings came highly recommended (our wedding planner even used them!). They have an extensive repertoire and are willing to perform songs not on their repertoire at additional cost. Their repertoire was more than enough and truly included every song we could want including a video game song that the bride wanted to walk down the aisle to. We wanted a Bridgerton-type vibe at our reception and the musicians did an excellent job at that! They were so professional and responsive. We would recommend Midtown Strings to any couple getting married!
