WOW. The CLE Keys were one of the easiest vendors I ever worked with. Greg, their guy-that-does-it-all, basically acted as a wedding coordinator to get speeches, dances, etc. completed on time and THEN jumped on the piano and played all night! The only thing I would change if I could go back, is getting them to play even longer!! We couldn't get people off the dance floor! I am hope to have another party in the future just so I can book them again. Absolute rockstars!

We LOVED the music Matt played at our wedding party. He was seamless is transitioning genres from when the party first started to end of the night. I had SO many friends at the party come up and say they were loving the music. Best part was he didn't play a single one of those classic wedding anthem songs that everyone has heard a million times (which was our worry). He nailed it, couldn't have asked for a better DJ for our special night.

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.

Born and raised in the Metro Detroit area. DJ iamchase is not just the #1 Celebrity Dj in West Michigan. He is also a Tour Dj, Record Breaker, and a Host. All while DJing Weddings, Corporate events, Concerts, and Night Clubs.

We had Terrell as our DJ for our wedding and could not be more happy with him! It was a little nerve racking having a meeting so close to the big day but Terrell and Derek both made us feel comfortable that everything would go smoothly. On the day of the wedding Terrell was at a venue he has never worked at before but set up and communication was seamless. He kept the party going and had the dance floor packed all night (one of the most important things for us that night). We didn't give him a playlist; just more like some guidelines and he did an amazing job. He came up to me and my husband to ensure we were happy (and even fed!). He communicated with me and the photographer to ensure all the big moments were captured before the photographer had to leave which was so nice because the thought to do that had not even occurred to me. We can not wait to recommend them more to anyone getting married or throwing an event. Thank you so much Terrell and Derek!!!!

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!

When it comes to weddings, there's only one chance to get it right! It's why I care so much about each wedding and that I treat each one as if it were my own! THAT is the kind of passion I give each and every one of my couples to not only ensure the vision for their day comes to reality but that their ONLY 'responsibility' on their wedding day is to celebrate with their family and friends! Quite frankly, I LOVE weddings and I consider it an honor to be part of their day & assisting them in creating lifelong memories (not to mention the amount of trust that my couples place upon me).

We truly cannot say enough about having Jack DJ for our May 2024 wedding. We both have large families and friends, all of whom like to dance and party. I personally think a DJ/music can absolutely make or break a wedding, so we were very nervous when making our decision. After the initial phone call with him, we were very happy with our choice. He played such a mix of music, all of which we loved. We gave him a small list of songs we absolutely wanted to hear, but wanted him to also do his own thing, which we are so glad we did! He is professional, so on top of the music and can read the room perfectly. And he doesn't constantly talk like other wedding DJs. The dance floor was packed ALL night long – and most of our guests stayed the entire night. Even on a Monday night when many had to work the next day!! My only disappointment was that we couldn't have Jack for longer! You absolutely will not regret booking Jack. TRUST ME!!!

We called, talked and knew that's our band. Communication (phone/email) was easy. Our party was in a cul-de-sac. We provided canapes, a garage and power. They set up everything else. It was already fun to listen to the soundcheck. About 120 guests were all over the cul-de-sac and the band totally adapted to everything that happened. Their male singer was not at our party but their female singer was absolutely amazing!!!! Whenever we talk about the party, EVERYONE says that the band was so GREAT!! We hope to hear/see them again.

Working with Emily and Arch City Lights as a whole was truly a breeze. They allowed you to customize your experience with them as much as you need. Emily does a great job at keeping the timeline for planning etc. and initiating communication along the way. We had Arch City Lights set up sound for our Ceremony for which they did not play. Everything sounded great, was a very modern and minimal setup (they use computers for mixing etc. so it is not overly bulky). The quality was incredible and there were no squeals or sound problems. They were able to set this up very quickly and efficiently and the staff were calm, very friendly, and followed all venue rules etc. - only asking questions when extremely necessary. We also had Arch City Lights perform as a Jazz Trio for our Cocktail Hour. This was while the wedding party was taking photos, so I am very happy that we got a video. They were very engaging, extremely talented, and you could tell they had a great time playing. It really set the perfect mood for the cocktail hour. Emily was the Emcee for the entire wedding. Her "stage presence", calmness, and ability to roll with the punches made her the perfect candidate for this job and she worked hard to make sure she pronounced every name perfectly (which she did - even Metivier (haha)). She has a great voice and really added the narrator and vibe that we needed. She followed all cues and social prompts on her own and really took charge of the whole process - making everything go very smoothly and perfectly accompanying all of the wedding pieces with pre-chosen music that we determined together. They DJ all of the songs you want and make it very simple. Lastly, Arch City lights played us into the night and was truly the life of the party. They adapted their original schedule from 3 sets with 2 breaks to 2 longer sets with less breaks (I am assuming to keep the party going - thanks), and this show will be talked about for years to come. Every single attendee made sure to comment on Emily and the others' "pipes," and skills on their corresponding instruments. They did an amazing job playing songs that we asked for and keeping the party rocking. They had a full band with Horns etc. and everything about them was perfect and professional. If I had some constructive criticism to give, I really would, but Emily and Arch City Lights went above and beyond in so many ways to make this an unforgettable night. I would not have changed a thing.

LOVE LOVE LOVE! We had the absolute pleasure of having Trilogy Band play at our wedding, and we couldn’t be more thrilled with their performance! I cannot say enough wonderful things about this band! From the moment they began to play, they captivated our guests with their incredible energy and musical talent. Their attention to detail was evident in every aspect of their performance, from the seamless transitions between songs to the thoughtful selection of music that perfectly matched the vibe of our celebration. Each member is a powerhouse in their own right, and together, they created a sound that was both polished and dynamic! What truly set them apart was their ability to read the crowd and get everyone on their feet. They crafted an atmosphere of pure joy, ensuring that the dance floor was packed all night long. Our guests were raving about the band, and many commented that they were a highlight of the wedding! If you’re looking for a band that knows how to have fun and keep the party going, look no further. Triology Band exceeded all our expectations and made our special day unforgettable. We can't recommend them highly enough! Special thanks to Band Leader/vocalist, Kylee who was a delight to work with and ensured we were taken care of every step of the way! XOXO
