Tyler was awesome to work with! He had an amazing song line up. As a working vendor, I had to remind myself not to get on the dance floor with the guests. At one point, he got on the floor himself during the reception to teach everyone the steps to a song. He was incredibly professional and fun to work with. I know the wedding couple was so pleased to have him DJing their reception.

AMAZING! Derek was so incredibly flexible and kind as we planned our wedding during COVID and changed our minds about things like the wind. He is understanding, thoughtful, and has done so many weddings, he brings a ton of experience to the table. When we got to our venue for the rehearsal, the staff didn't even know what to do about the sound feedback or how to fix it on their systems, Derek stepped in politely and made the needed adjustments to make everything sound great. He also crushed our reception! It was a small, outdoor gathering, but he made sure everything sounded and went smoothly. He is an incredible, fun and talented guy---& he is busy so you better snag him fast!

Working with Dynamic Excitement was an absolute pleasure. Thomas had the dance floor full all night, was able to crowd read very well and provided them with all the hits they didn't know they needed. He was very easy to work with, very professional, thorough with his questionnaire that is provided to his clients, all of his wires were tied up and out of everyones way (something you don't know is important but it sure does make a difference), and was able to accommodate to a variety of age groups throughout the night. Dynamic Excitement also provided my client with uplighting which created a romantic ambiance to the entire venue space- which also created a beautiful background for the detail shots of the venue. All in all, Dynamic Excitement is a DJ company I see myself recommending to all of my clients.

Rob and our DJ Jordan B were so great to work with and were one of our favorite vendors for our wedding! The booking process was easy, and communication was fantastic. Any questions, requests, or info I needed was answered and addressed so quickly and efficiently, and it really makes the entire wedding planning process just that much easier. All our favorite songs playing throughout our wedding at key moments like our ceremony, reception, and first dance made the event feel so dreamy and cinematic, and I can’t thank Rob and Jordan enough for making our event so memorable. We also booked our photo booth (Feature Booth) through them, and it was the same amazing communication and day of execution. As a graphic designer, I wanted to customize the text around the photo to give it a little bit of a special touch, and they were able to accommodate this and send me a digital preview as well. They definitely know what they’re doing at Second Song and definitely a team I would recommend to couples for their upcoming weddings!

We cannot say enough about DJ Rock Steady and his wife! They absolutely nailed it at our wedding on December 28, 2024. From start to finish, they were professional, engaging, and in total sync with the crowd, keeping the energy high and the dance floor packed all night long. Ours was a dry wedding (a fun little nod to the bride's rule: “If I can’t drink, no one can!”—though we did sneak in a champagne toast). Despite the absence of alcohol, the party was nothing short of epic. We owe that entirely to DJ Rock Steady’s incredible ability to create an electric atmosphere and keep everyone having a blast. The feedback from our guests has been overwhelming—many commented that it was one of the most fun and lively weddings they’d ever attended. It's true what they say: the DJ and the caterer are the backbone of any great wedding, and we struck gold with DJ Rock Steady. His talent, energy, and charisma turned our special day into an unforgettable celebration. We wholeheartedly recommend DJ Rock Steady to anyone looking for a top-notch DJ who can truly bring an event to life. Thank you, DJ Rock Steady, a thousand times over for making our wedding so special and memorable. We’ll forever be grateful for your magic on our big day! With love and appreciation, Madi and Casey

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!!

We had DJ IAMONEAL, and he did a wonderful job! He said he would arrive at the venue at 2pm (2hrs prior to the ceremony) and he arrived at 2 on the dot! He was super friendly, and he did everything we wanted creating the exact atmosphere we were looking for. Rocket was also one of the most affordable options we found, which honestly made me a little nervous at first, but they were amazing! They provided a fantastic value for a super affordable rate. They even set up a separate ceremony sound system for no extra charge since our ceremony and reception were in different locations at the venue. This is something that other companies were going to charge extra for. Overall, I would HIGHLY recommend Rocket Entertainment and DJ IAMONEAL!
