Awarded Best of Zola
Startime Productions was the perfect choice for our wedding DJ. From the beginning, their communication was always quick and reliable, which put us at ease throughout the planning process. The quality of their work and value was AMAZING - they were more personal and attentive than any other DJ we looked at. Stephen, our DJ, was amazing! He helped accommodate our drizzly weather and got everyone up and on the dance floor. I looked into several different DJs but Stephen was by far the winner, from his communication, enthusiasm, and genuine care for our special day. I would recommend using Startime Productions for any of our future events - you won't regret it!

DJ Trey was an absolute dream vendor to work with!! He communicated so well throughout the entire process and made our wedding day so special. We got great feedback from all of our guests about the great playlist at the reception. He sends you a form ahead of time where you can specify all your music needs, including genres and specific do/do not play songs for the reception. Because of this, we had the perfect combination of all our favorite genres and all of our guests were so happy! They danced all night. We also gave him the freedom to "read the room" and take requests upon discretion which worked out really well. Its important having vendors you can trust!!! We had the best day and are so thankful that DJ Trey helped make it that way. Pleasure to communicate/work with, very flexible, and would hire again!

We had AAM Entertainment for our wedding and they were THE best! We’ve been rocking with him for years and attending many weddings that also hired them and couldn’t wait for our turn. Not only the music but the up lights, the mirror booth & dancing on the clouds were a perfect hit. He even took great photos with his own camera. He kept things moving throughout the night and helped us stay on track with our timeline. Following the scheduled dances, he got the party started and knew all of the right songs to play to keep the people on the dance floor. We could not have asked for a better DJ! Also, in the planning process of our wedding, it was so helpful that AAM continued to check in with us to make sure all of our questions were answered. The Vibo app was full proof and assured we hadn't missed any steps in our planning. I would recommend them to anyone, I promise you won’t regret it. Thankyou AAM Entertainment

Awarded Best of Zola
There are not words to describe how much we loved having DJ Krystyle perform at our Aug 2024 wedding. She was very responsive, communicative, and has a super easy online portal that helps capture every detail you could think of for the event music. She’s also a lovely human in general to work with. We went with the approach of choosing the major songs and providing general recommendations around genres and let the expert handle the rest. We had multiple guests tell us they could not stop dancing or singing along the entire night. We had every age group on the dance floor. If it’s any indication - my photographer had to remind me a few times to stop bouncing around so she could get some good still shots. In our opinion, it doesn’t get any better than DJ Krystyle.

Opulence Band made our wedding absolutely unforgettable! They brought the party and kept everyone on the dance floor all night. They worked closely with me on a playlist and allowed me to customize every detail of the reception and announcements. The band transitioned perfectly from dj'd songs to live songs and even coordinated playing our custom first dance song AND a surprise karaoke song from our best man! Lewis was an amazing MC at the reception and ideal contact throughout the whole process. I felt so comfortable leaving this HUGE part of my wedding dream in his hands. At the end of our wedding I think more people complimented us on the band than any other part of the wedding. We are still getting requests for their contact information to play other guests' weddings and events. Even our veteran wedding planner said we had scored the best band she'd ever heard. I cannot imagine my wedding without Opulence Band and recommend them without any hesitation!!
