To tell the story of our couples on the most important day of their life is something our team takes to heart. We guarantee that after your wedding day has ended, your guests will be raving about the unique moments we helped create. No 2 weddings are alike when you book us because we make sure to bring light to the things that make you as a couple different.

If music is a top priority for your event or you’re concerned you won’t find the right dj to fulfill all of your requests, worry no more. From start to finish Ken made the entire process a total breeze and we had fun while doing so! My husband and I were very specific on what we wanted for our wedding music production and Ken did not disappoint. Not only did we have full control of what would be played (& not played) throughout the evening but he made our night completely unforgettable. From his entire sound system which included a video screen that incorporated pictures and videos, to [up]lighting that went with our music, along with unique touches during first dances and our last dance, we were floored with how perfectly he executed our special day. It’s been over a year since our wedding and our guests are still talking about how we had the best dj and music. The only complaint we had was that our guests couldn’t leave the dance floor to grab a drink or take a break because the songs and energy kept getting better and better! I’d get married again in a heartbeat just to rebook Ken and dance the night away!

Felix & Fingers was the best addition to my wedding! We had a BLAST. It’s the best mix between a live band and sing along karaoke (but you don’t want your uncle to get the mic, you know?). They did beautiful ceremony music, incredible sax jazz during cocktail hour to keep it classy. Then, they kept everyone engaged and entertained for the reception, from my aunt in a walker to my college friends twerking. We danced the night away but lost our voices from screaming along with the songs too. 10/10 you can’t go wrong with dueling pianos - DJs and wedding bands are out, Felix & Fingers is IN!

The string trio and our DJ, Eric, were both amazing! They went above and beyond our expectations. I believe Eric may have even helped our family move table decoration boxes during setup! The ceremony set up was perfect, and we could hear every note and word through the mic, even through the wind gusts. We were hearing from guests all night about how lovely the string trio played and that they recognized a lot of the songs. They even helped get our shy flower girl up and dancing during cocktail hour! Eric was the best DJ we could ask for. He met us during cocktail hour to introduce himself and confirm entrances and bridal party names. He was so professional, but also fun and laid back. He played the perfect jazz set during dinner. We could even hear some people at tables nearby singing along to Frank Sinatra between courses! As with most weddings I’m sure, the timeline isn’t always concrete, but Eric made sure we didn’t stray too far without being pushy so that we still had time to visit guests before speeches and dancing. Being true millennials, we wanted to relive the glory days of the 2000s as part of our night so a lot of our song choice centered around that, but we also wanted to make sure our guests enjoyed open dancing too. Eric was great at accepting requests and his set was amazing. My 92 year old grandmother was on the dance floor for Dancing Queen and it is a memory I will never forget! Towards the end of the night, Eric played all our pop/punk songs and I don’t think the bridal party left the dance floor until the end. We are so happy that we chose you guys for our music. We couldn’t have asked for a better team or a better night. Everything Eric and the string trio did just exceeded our expectations and we will gladly recommend you all to anyone and everyone we know! Please send our heartfelt thanks and share our praises with the members of our string trio and Eric. They helped make our wedding perfect and we are so happy with the services. Thank you all again for an incredible and unforgettable night!

We recently had our wedding on May 3, 2024, and Jeff from BTSound was our DJ. Jeff was absolutely awesome to work with and really listened to everything we had to say. We had an interview with him beforehand, and it made me instantly want to work with him. As an avid music fanatic and house head, we didn't want just a "wedding DJ"; We wanted a real DJ, and Jeff truly is one. He has the background to back it up.

I got into DJing by accident. After learning that working as an Industrial Engineer in a fortune 500 company didn't bring me much fulfillment, a friend suggested I join his DJ company. His company supplied DJ services for over 200 weddings a year! After my first wedding gig I was hooked. It gave me purpose, and an outlet I never knew was possible. I quickly became the most requested DJ in the company and within my market. Now I DJ on my own, and I'm so blessed to be able to curate an atmosphere of joy where families can connect.

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!!

Music is everything. It’s your history, your identity, and your joy. It’s what moves you on the dance floor and what moves you to tears. Quite simply: it’s the most important decision you’ll make at your wedding. All Ears DJ is a premier entertainment group that boasts a ten-deep crew of highly-skilled DJs and musicians. Don’t settle for anything less than a DJ who can wow audiences with perfect blends, mashups and song selections. Talent matters, and All Ears DJs have shown up & showed out at more than 1000 weddings in the San Francisco Bay Area during the past decade.

Richard was great. He was a Preferred Vendor for Saratoga Springs. He had a form that we filled out about a week ahead with music selections and do not plays. It was very thorough. He responded quickly when we reached out to him with questions. The music selection was mostly on me because my husband generally listens to instrumental. I listen to a wide variety of music, so I left it pretty open ended, which I was a little nervous about, but Richard pulled it all together. An eclectic mix, yet cohesive. We had a much smaller turn out than we were expecting and even more dropped out last minute, my guess is because of the weather. It was an outdoor venue and was rainy and cold all day, but managed to burn out by the time the party started. Only raining briefly after dinner (we had umbrellas for everyone). The music selection was great and everyone rallied and had a good time. The last song was All You Need Is Love and a kick line formed with the remaining friends and family. It was ridiculously amusing. 10/10 would recommend Richard to anyone. I spent a good amount of time listening to his mixes on Mixcloud and have really enjoyed them.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Highland Preferred for my wedding, and I can honestly say they transformed our special day into an unforgettable experience! From the moment I reached out, their professionalism and attention to detail put my mind at ease. It's clear that they know how to create incredible memories, whether it’s for personal celebrations or corporate events. We opted for a DJ and live band combo, and from the moment our guests heard the first notes, the dance floor was packed! The DJ effortlessly mixed genres, catering to all ages, while the band brought that lively energy that really got everyone involved. Our LED dance floor was a showstopper, literally sparkling under the lights as our friends danced the night away. The various photo booths offered by Highland Preferred were an absolute hit! Each booth had its own unique props and backgrounds, allowing our guests to capture fun memories throughout the evening. And I can’t say enough about the photography and videography services—the team was unobtrusive while perfectly capturing every moment. Just a few days after the event, we were delighted to receive a sneak peek at some of the photos—they were simply stunning! Moreover, their up lighting and decor services added an elegant touch to our venue. They truly transformed the space into a fairy tale setting that we had only dreamed about. Everything was reasonably priced, especially given the level of service provided. I genuinely felt like we got so much value for our investment. If you’re planning a wedding, corporate gathering, or any type of event, I can’t recommend Highland Preferred enough. They take the stress out of party planning and deliver results that exceed expectations. Thank you for making our celebration the talk of the town!

Louis Pettinelli Entertainment has musical ensembles that range from a soloist to a 15 piece party band, and everything in between!

I was blown away by the talent of the musicians, they really take their craft seriously. I requested a Roaring Twenties theme from Louis Pettinelli and they went above and beyond to make it happen. The singer Karlea was phenomenal and did an amazing job of keeping our guests engaged and entertained. The musicians were all courteous, professional, and exceptionally talented. They dressed appropriately for our wedding theme and many of the guests at the Hawthorne Hotel wanted to take pictures with Karlea in her Twenties attire. In addition to being a wonderful experience, they were also a great value for the price. These are top quality musicians and we paid a reasonable price for the band. I highly recommend this group for your wedding.

We are a collective of highly trained photographers and DJs. Our photographers combine natural portraiture with a creative documentary style to tell a unique story for each couple that chooses us. Masters of their craft, C+A's DJs specialize in turntable DJing, giving your event an authentic music experience.

My husband and I absolutely love Cage and Aquarium! We utilized them for both photography and DJ services on wedding day. As for our photographers, they were incredible in their photography skills but also in supporting us on wedding day. They helped make the day run smoothly and were efficient in coordinating things such as taking large family photos and enduring our travels around the city between the ceremony and reception. As for our DJ, he was also amazing. He kept the reception running smoothly and was so personable and professional. I couldn't have been more impressed with the music selection our DJ chose -- so many of our guests said that we had the most amount of people dancing at a wedding that they'd seen. I can't recommend C&A enough.
