I got into DJing by accident. After learning that working as an Industrial Engineer in a fortune 500 company didn't bring me much fulfillment, a friend suggested I join his DJ company. His company supplied DJ services for over 200 weddings a year! After my first wedding gig I was hooked. It gave me purpose, and an outlet I never knew was possible. I quickly became the most requested DJ in the company and within my market. Now I DJ on my own, and I'm so blessed to be able to curate an atmosphere of joy where families can connect.

DJ Obie was so fun and easy to work with. Right away it felt like we had known each other for ages. He knew how to match the vibe we wanted and how to get the party started.

Funk Almighty was no doubt the best booking we made for our wedding. The band was electric and had a sound that can only be made from a group that plays together consistently. Their old funky classics and new hits were excellently played and made the dance floor the place to be! Some of our guests said their favorite part of the reception was the band, just watching them play and entertain was a great show. From initial inquiry, to final performance, they were responsive and professional. They performed live the songs for our first dance along with the father/bride and mother/groom dances as well. Overall they are a major talent and perform a terrific set, all while remaining in budget. Let this review be the one to get you to book this band, you will not be disappointed!

Inspiring Experiences With A Lifetime Of Memories! The Perfect Compliment To Your Wedding Reception! We offer a Complete Entertainment Package from a Seven Piece Band to a Twelve Piece Orchestra. We also provide Ceremony Musicians, Emcee Services, and a variety of Performance Packages for any size Wedding Reception. Our extensive experience will assist you with the outline planning for your Memorable Event. The Park Avenue Orchestra, featuring dynamic performances through high energy and enthusiasm. We invite you to visit our new website for all the exciting details of our services, at www.parkavenueorchestra.com

I truly don’t know where to begin to thank Park Avenue Orchestra for the most perfect wedding day we could have ever asked for. From the moment we booked them to the very last (encore) song on the dance floor, Hank and the Park Avenue Orchestra made everything easy, seamless, and most of all SO. MUCH. FUN! I have seen Park Ave perform at 2 other weddings, but nothing compares to booking them for your own wedding. There were many “best” things about working with Park Avenue, but something that was so unbelievably special to us was the custom songs they learned for us for our first dances. Our song as a couple is Shut Up and Dance by Walk the Moon and they created a slowed down version of it for us to dance our first dance to. It still brings me to tears when I watch our wedding video, it was just so beautiful and perfect. They also learned a Josh Groban song for my husband and his mom that was so special. For my dad and I, they not only learned a new song, but they created a transition from a nice slow Frank Sinatra song and went straight into Jump in the Line so we could start a conga line. It was AMAZING and such an awesome way to open the dance floor! However, the best part of the whole night was Park Avenue’s rendition of Shout. WOW. I don’t have enough words to describe the fun, energy, and EPIC DANCE PARTY that happens when Ricky Rainbow sings shout. Looking back at our wedding video, I think EVERYONE was on the dance floor! I actually got so “low” that I laid down on the dance floor in my wedding dress lol It was EPIC and a moment we will never forget!!! I think we’ve watched it about 25 times since we got our video haha Aside from Shout, the band brought my dad up to play drums, they brought my sister and I up to play cowbell…they really know how to get the crowd involved and make it a night full of the best memories. Hank made the wedding planning process so easy, simple and seamless. He thoroughly explained everything to us and made the planning process stress free. By far, he was our absolute best wedding vendor to work with and was our biggest advocate the day of the wedding- even bringing my mom a drink (or 2) when the venue didn’t quite do things right. He ensured our big day went perfectly and if there were any issues on the band/music/lighting/audio front, we never had to deal with it or even heard anything about it. He is a true professional! Thank you Park Avenue for creating the soundtrack to the best night of our lives, it wouldn’t have been the same without you!

We also gave him songs that we did not want played which were not! Almost everyone at my wedding was on the dance floor because of the fun exciting atmosphere he made! He has multiple different packages you can choose from and you can also add things to your package if you don’t see it on the one you like!

Griffin and the Gargoyles is St. Louis’ premier high-energy party and dance band. Having won the 2020 St. Louis Post Dispatch’s “Readers Choice Favorite Band” award as well as the “Best Wedding Band” by the Perfect Wedding Guide’s Vendors’ Choice Awards six years in a row, musicianship and style is the reason Griffin and the Gargoyles has played to packed houses for many years. Their extensive play-list and freshness keeps the crowds coming back for more.

Griffin & The Gargoyles came together last minute to play at our wedding. We had another band lined up that canceled five days prior and while I was upset at the time, I lucked out! They are hands down the best, most fun and entertaining band you could hire! They will get the dance floor moving and it will be a blast all night long! Look no further. If you are reading this, then you should take my advice and book them already!

Ever since booking with Carter Events & Entertainment in 2022, Steven Carter has been absolutely amazing to work with. Every time I reached out with a question, Steven was very responsive and willing to answer my questions as well as give honest advice/feedback from his perspective as the expert. The energy that Steven brought on the day of my wedding was unmatched and contagious. Our wedding party had so much fun getting ready for the grand march with him. Throughout the reception, Steven would join our guests out on the dancefloor and kept the energy so fun. I don't know how he does it, but his energy did not seem to die at all the entire night. My parents even made a comment to me after my wedding day about how fun it was to watch Steven do his thing - he is an entertainer for sure. I will remember for a long time how much fun I had on the dancefloor thanks to Steven. If I were to plan a wedding again, I would choose Carter Events & Entertainment as my DJ every time. We will be recommending them every chance we get. If you choose Carter Events & Entertainment as your DJ, you will not be disappointed!

Anna was phenomenal and added so much elegance to our ceremony. She was extremely responsive which helped a ton with planning. As someone who is not familiar with wedding music or how things should flow, she walked us through this and helped us figure out the perfect ceremony music for our wedding. I couldn't have asked for better music on our big day!
