We hired 3rd Shift DJs for our wedding and they were amazing. Alex, our DJ, was incredibly profession, understanding, and helpful throughout the entire process. He was very easy to work with and had amazing ideas to help us out when we were stumped on song choices, including putting together a great mix for our grand entrance. Alex's personality was also very friendly and welcoming, and I had multiple people tell me how amazing the music and DJ were all night long. The quality of their work was very professional and they were very attentive to every detail. I would definitely hire 3rd Shift DJs again for an event. Thank you again, Alex and the 3rd Shift DJs team, for helping make our wedding day so special!

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.

We hired Steven for sound and design services for our wedding this past month and - my goodness, there are simply no words to express how amazing our service was. From running onto the dance floor and joining folks in the merriment to snagging me (the Bride) for a spin around the dance floor, Steven's experience, professionalism, fun-loving energy and overall vibe is something I am struggling to articulate without leaving a 12-page review. My father, who isn't impressed often [hence the title of the review], was the first one to rave to me about Steven after the wedding. He was in awe of how smoothly everything went and the energy Steven brought to the dance floor. I truly felt heard and understood by Steven every step of the way and to say he went above and beyond would not do justice to the amazing support he showed us throughout the planning process. I'm already planning a vow renewal to have an excuse to hire Steven again. You will not be disappointed if you choose Steven Carter Events and Entertainment.
