DJ Liza was by far one of the best wedding DJs, and I’m so grateful that we were able to book her for our big day!! Coming the night before to our rehearsal dinner was by far one of the most helpful things she contributed to our big day— she gave so many helpful tips, and ensured that our day went as smoothly as possible. Liza went out of her way during the day of to make sure that my husband and I had a good time!! She was able to pull my playlists from Spotify, made sure we had drinks for every toast, and adjust last minute when we needed to change something. She was affordable, fun, and genuinely cared about our guests and us! We got so many compliments on the music and dancefloor. DJ Liza is the best!!

I just wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you for being an amazing DJ. You truly went above and beyond for Ken and I to make our wedding day special. We are grateful beyond words for your kindness, professionalism, and class. My husband and I had made a Spotify list since we knew what songs we liked and had been to other weddings in the past. Ken and I wanted to find a DJ that would LISTEN and we found him!!!! Hiring DJ Ivan was the best decision we made (besides marrying each other). DJ Ivan and Imani were extremely professional, kind, and classy. They asked each bridesmaid and groomsman how to pronounce their names and he was very detailed oriented. He made our wedding day his own and only offered the best service. I would ONLY recommend DJ Ivan to family and friends. If you don’t want to worry about your DJ and want him to listen to you, hire DJ Ivan. You will not be disappointed. In a world where people do not go above and beyond…DJ Ivan fights that stigma and gave us so much more. Thank you DJ Ivan and we will be sending everyone to you!

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).

Awarded Best of Zola
Jack was a true partner during our wedding planning and on our day. He worked with us on song selection (there were a couple of songs we drew a blank on), helped fine-tune the schedule of events and worked with our photographer and venue to iron out the details and make sure they were all on the same page. We kept the song selection up to him as much as we could, providing some "dos" and "don't" and he did the rest. We got several comments on the music after the fact from both friends and family, so he managed to please both crowds. I'd highly recommend Jack to anyone.

Tyson was clearly the right pick for us from the moment we interviewed him. An undeniable professional talking about his work. He was modest but still reassuring. His pre-event form was helpful, and he took the time to go over it with us clearly and thoroughly before our big day. He gave advice but gently, without pressuring us away from our instincts about what our people would respond to. Day of, he came technologically prepared. Setup was great. His work on the mic was sparse—but perfect. And his song selections were just spot-frigging-on. A dozen people at our wedding have asked us about him. We love Tyson. Thank you forever!!!

Our reception was everything we could've dreamed of and more all thanks to Follow the Sun! While we were exploring our options for a live band we got a recommendation to check out FtS, so we went to see them perform live and we knew right away they were the band for us. They are incredibly talented musicians and the band has great chemistry. They bring great energy and get the crowd going. And that was all just from observing before we even spoke with them regarding booking! FtS goes above and beyond to provide a customized experience. Once we inquired about booking they made the whole process so easy and fun for us. We met to discuss our vision for our day, and they were so accommodating as well as provided great insight for us from their experience with other weddings. They have an amazing set list of songs to choose from. Over the weeks leading up to the wedding, any questions we had they were quick to respond and so kind. We had custom requests with family traditions/songs and FtS were able make it all fit seamlessly into the evening. Our dancefloor was packed all night because of the incredible job the band did. We are so thankful and would highly recommend them to any couple interested in live music for their big day. Special shoutout to Sophie for being so attentive and answering all of our questions, and to Richie for being an INCREDIBLE master of ceremonies handling bridal party introductions and announcements throughout the evening. We didn't have to worry about a thing, you made our night so special and fun. Thank you for everything! PS - Even though our wedding was almost 2 years ago now, we still follow the band and go out and see them perform every chance we get! They are amazing and just keep getting better!!

I booked C-Town Entertainment at the recommendation of another bride, and I was so happy with Bob and his assistant! I may be biased, but ours was one of the most fun weddings I have been to. Everything ran smoothly and Bob did a great job reading the room and picking songs that brought people to the dance floor whenever needed. He checked in with me and my family/bridal party throughout the evening and made last minute adjustments as needed. He was professional and made sure we had all the moments and songs that we wanted. I have been to weddings with DJs who were not as skilled and it makes a big difference in the flow and energy of the evening. My guests started chanting “one more song!” at the end of the evening, and I think that says it all. I cannot thank you all enough for the care you put into our wedding!
