Crimson Events and their team were an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. Drew, our lead musician, was comprehensive, knowledgeable and helpful every step of the planning process, answering all our questions and offering great suggestions that kept guests dancing all night. The music selections were spot on and continuously had the dance floor packed. The high quality photo booth was also a huge hit! Drew made our whole night nonstop fun with his amazing music that perfectly suited our taste. Between the interactive and upbeat song choices and the awesome photo booth, Crimson Events helped make our wedding a blast that we and our guests won't soon forget!

We chose Crimson Events for our wedding DJ and wow, what an excellent choice that was! Cannot speak highly enough of Drew; from the planning all the way through the actual event, he was on top of every detail. It is pretty rare to find someone who is both extremely professional/organized AND has the creative skillset that Drew has. He was really able to feel the pulse of the event & keep the party going, the dance floor was packed the whole night. Excellent emcee work as well throughout the day and into the evening, even with some unexpected last-minute changes. We have been getting compliments left and right from our guests about how fantastic our DJ was... and we agree! While we were really happy with all of our vendors, Crimson Events was hands down the best-spent money of the entire wedding experience. 5 stars!!
Highly recommend Crimson Events for your wedding!

Drew from Crimson Events was our DJ for our wedding ceremony and reception. He did an absolutely phenomenal job! He worked with us beforehand to get a feel for us as a couple and what we wanted for our big day. He was very easy to work with both before and during the wedding. He kept our guests engaged and entertained. He was able to accurately read the room and tailor the music to keep everyone happy. When several guests requested karaoke (which was not discussed beforehand) he doublechecked that it was okay with us before moving forward. DJ’s at an event can definitely make or break an occasion. Drew definitely enhanced our wedding experience. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a fun DJ.
Best night ever!

Drew was so easy to work with throughout the entire planning process. Our dance floor was packed the entire night, and our guests loved all the music and mixing. He really understood the vibe we were going for and executed it perfectly.
