Amazing Experience!
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!
Talent City Artists, they were amazing!
We hired Talent City Artists for our wedding and they were amazing! We hired a wedding singer for our ceremony and cocktail hour and part of dinner and a DJ for the rest of the night. We were not disappointed in the wedding singers and DJ. All night the dance floor was hopping and I think everyone commented on how much they loved the wedding singer during dinner! Thank you Blake, Corey and Dina for making our wedding such a memorable event!
Exceeded our expectations!
I’m so happy that our special day was in the right hands! Chris was the DJ at our wedding and I can say that everything was even better than our expectations! The music choice was great, we had the monogram display on the dance floor and we loved it! He is such a great person to work with, really talented, he pays attention to all the details to ensure everything goes smoothly! Also surprised us singing during cocktail hour and dinner, and open to our requests and always checking on us as the event was going on! Thank you for making our big day a memorable one!
Exceeded Expectations
Chris made my husband and I a fabulous highlight reel after our wedding day. He captured so many special and memorable moments. He paired the video with songs that are meaningful to us and our special day. Chris is so fun and easy to work with. I highly recommend his talents and services.
