Megan and Logan were great to work with in the early stages, and then Ali & Drake took over about a month before! They all were fantastic to work with and I could definitely tell that Ali & Drake were the best match for my wedding. I wasn't sure what to think about booking a company that matches a DJ to your wedding after booking, but they really did take the time to find what music style I liked and which DJ was going to vibe the best. Highly recommend!!!! The entire planning process was so easy with them and the online portal was so simple to use! They truly made my day exceptional!

Awarded Best of Zola
Our experience with Nicky Avalo has exceeded all our expectations. We had heard about Nicky’s services from friends who have attended previous weddings where Nicky’s presence played a large part in creating such fun and special memories. So my fiance and I were excited to get the chance to work with him. We have to say he lives up to his wonderful reputation. He has always been so accessible, responsive, and patient-making him such a joy to work with in the wedding planning process. Nicky has so effortlessly managed a huge deal of wedding logistics, from DJ services, photography, Photo Booth, working with other vendors, and helping us to think of timeline logistics from the very beginning to the very end of our wedding day. He is incredibly thoughtful and detail oriented and most of all considerate. We cared most about music and pictures and he matched us with a wonderful photographer, Jacquelyn Grace who was so kind, patient, and worked hard to capture the photo shot list we had and took amazing pictures of us on the skyline. So happy she was able to capture so many beautiful memories that we will cherish forever! Our photo booth was also a hit with the guests and the template he made matched our theme so nicely! He matched us with DJ Mike (Versatic) and MC Daniel who truly embraced our culture and made our Mexican American vision of a wedding come true. A true bilingual reception with music that weaved in and out our culture of Latin/Tejano music, to rock music like Bon Jovi, early 2000s hits, etc. Our guests had a blast! Nicky also went the extra mile when life made things a little overwhelming to plan our wedding on our own and we decided we needed a wedding planner. We felt comfortable enough to ask Nicky for help with our search and without hesitation Nicky helped us find a wedding planner within our budget. There is so much more we can say about Nicky and we cannot express enough how grateful we have been very his attention to detail that makes us feel assured that every moment of our special day will be nothing short of magical. Throughout our time together he always reminded us that our wedding was about us, and what we want, and was so thoughtful to make sure our wedding represented us as a Mexican American couple. He creates a lot of ease in wedding planning that provided so much comfort to us when wedding planning became inevitable stressful because we knew he was always a solid presence we could rely on. He even showed up to our wedding day just to check in that everything was going as we wished. Nicky's expertise, dedication, and knowledge about the wedding industry has transformed and transcended our wedding vision into reality. We are immensely grateful for his exceptional service and wholeheartedly recommend Nicky Avalo Studios to anyone seeking an stress-free and unforgettable wedding experience.

50+ 5-star reviews across major event platforms, and brand new to Zola!

Let me give you a night to remember.

From the moment we booked Ryan Shephard for our wedding, he was incredibly responsive, quick to answer any questions, and made the entire process easy. On the day of the wedding, Ryan was exactly what we had hoped for - he seamlessly executed our special requests beforehand and took requests from our guests all night long. My husband and I had a very specific vision in mind for the music, and Ryan brought it to life perfectly. My guests raved about him. I cannot recommend Ryan Shephard enough - he was truly amazing and played a big part in making our wedding day so special.

His communication throughout the planning process was wonderful - he responded in a very timely manner and made sure we were on the same page about the music and flow of the reception. He was a total professional the day-of, keeping our reception fun and moving along smoothly. He has such an outgoing, personable style that our guests really enjoyed interacting with him. He didn't just play music - he was hands-on, helping out in any way he saw fit to make sure our guests were engaged and having a blast. His music choices were spot-on and he kept people dancing all night with his hilarious emcee style. We got so many compliments about how fun our DJ was and how smoothly everything ran thanks to him.
