    1000/10 Recommend!!

    We had the absolute pleasure of working with Mr James Harris for our wedding and there just isn't enough I can say about how enjoyable that experience was. To start, Black Tie Ent. overall is a great company to work with, they really know how to lead you to the right DJ for your event. After making our choice, the planning process was a breeze. James is so much fun to work with!!! Very communicative, open minded, patient, and helpful the whole entire time. Most importantly to us, he showed he was genuinely excited to be a part of the event and vibe we were trying to set. When it came down to our actual wedding day, he did not at all disappoint!! He's very quick to adapt to whats going on in the enviornment, definitely knows how to keep the party going no matter what is going on. James was a huge part of our wedding day vision coming to life, delivered exactly the energy we were looking for and we are just so grateful for everything! Truly an experience we will never forget. Absolutely worth every penny! (Everything was also considerably affordable based on the packages we chose. Cannot complain at all) 100% recommend working with Black Tie Entertainment and requesting DJ James Harris to be the entertainment for your event!

    Black Tie Entertainment

    John Coulter was great. The guests were all enjoying themselves. He got a lot of compliments from the guests. We ended up moving along quicker than we thought with some of the little events. John was great with changing directions and making everything seem like we intended it that way. He changed the music as needed. As the crowd shifted from kids to young adults as the night went on. He took it upon himself to figure out the venues lights. He changed the lights as needed with the time of day.

    Stephi was great

    Stephi was recommended to us by a previous wedding that we attended that she DJed and she did great yet again! Everyone seemed to have an amazing time and understood the crowd well. She was an active listener during our meetings and really made sure to understand our vision even though we had a lot of special requests.

    Wedding 8/22/26

    Eddy Bobby was the DJ for our wedding this past weekend and he far surpassed our expectations! Eddy has been helpful along the entire journey through our initial meeting, review meeting, and final meeting. He was helpful and kind in all of our meetings and made sure we were getting the songs we wanted. Eddy stuck to the timeline and made announcements in a fun professional manner. I would highly recommend Eddy for DJ services!

    Book with DJ Freddy!

    One of the most important vendors we booked was our DJ and DJ Freddy did not disappoint. From the beginning, working with Black Tie Entertainment was a no brainer choice. We spoke with the team about exactly what we were looking for and helped pair us with Freddy. Freddy was incredibly easy to work with, very attentive to detail, asking us all the questions about our taste in music, how we wanted the day to flow, and even met with us the week of the wedding to ensure that our special music choices (processional, recessional, first dances, etc) were all correct and accounted for. Our guests haven’t stopped messaging us and saying how great the music was and what a phenomenal DJ Freddy is. Do yourself a favor and book him for your wedding
