He helped me pull off the best surprise ever at the ceremony with a bridal letter for my husband over the speaker. And the reception ABSOLUTELY KILLED IT!!!

He was punctual, professional, and kept the energy high from cocktail hour through the last song. He expertly read the vibe of our guests and played songs that kept everyone on the dance floor, of ALL ages, having an amazing time. He made every second of the night count and stuck to our timeline, and had a great flow. His talent and passion for DJing contributed so much to the success of our wedding celebration.

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.

Born and raised in the Metro Detroit area. DJ iamchase is not just the #1 Celebrity Dj in West Michigan. He is also a Tour Dj, Record Breaker, and a Host. All while DJing Weddings, Corporate events, Concerts, and Night Clubs.

Our Dj, Terrell, did a FANTASTIC job at our wedding. He announced everything well, communicated with our wedding coordinator and the other vendors, played our requested song list, and consistently checked in on my (new!) husband and I throughout the evening to see if there was anything that he could help us with. On our song list, we noted that we didn't want any country music played (unless it was a specifically requested song), and when one of our guests asked him to play 'Cotton Eye Joe', Terrell even came up to me and asked me if it was okay because he wasn't sure if I considered that country music! Overall, we are VERY happy with terrell! My husband and I would definitely recommend to other couples who are planning a wedding!

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).

Jack did an AMAZING job at our wedding. He is professional and incredibly helpful. His vast knowledge of the music industry and his outgoing personality was exactly what we were looking for. Jack listened to what we wanted and came up with an incredible playlist for the evening. His charisma and passion for what he does is so undoubtedly noticeable.

Working with Emily and Arch City Lights as a whole was truly a breeze. They allowed you to customize your experience with them as much as you need. Emily does a great job at keeping the timeline for planning etc. and initiating communication along the way. We had Arch City Lights set up sound for our Ceremony for which they did not play. Everything sounded great, was a very modern and minimal setup (they use computers for mixing etc. so it is not overly bulky). The quality was incredible and there were no squeals or sound problems. They were able to set this up very quickly and efficiently and the staff were calm, very friendly, and followed all venue rules etc. - only asking questions when extremely necessary. We also had Arch City Lights perform as a Jazz Trio for our Cocktail Hour. This was while the wedding party was taking photos, so I am very happy that we got a video. They were very engaging, extremely talented, and you could tell they had a great time playing. It really set the perfect mood for the cocktail hour. Emily was the Emcee for the entire wedding. Her "stage presence", calmness, and ability to roll with the punches made her the perfect candidate for this job and she worked hard to make sure she pronounced every name perfectly (which she did - even Metivier (haha)). She has a great voice and really added the narrator and vibe that we needed. She followed all cues and social prompts on her own and really took charge of the whole process - making everything go very smoothly and perfectly accompanying all of the wedding pieces with pre-chosen music that we determined together. They DJ all of the songs you want and make it very simple. Lastly, Arch City lights played us into the night and was truly the life of the party. They adapted their original schedule from 3 sets with 2 breaks to 2 longer sets with less breaks (I am assuming to keep the party going - thanks), and this show will be talked about for years to come. Every single attendee made sure to comment on Emily and the others' "pipes," and skills on their corresponding instruments. They did an amazing job playing songs that we asked for and keeping the party rocking. They had a full band with Horns etc. and everything about them was perfect and professional. If I had some constructive criticism to give, I really would, but Emily and Arch City Lights went above and beyond in so many ways to make this an unforgettable night. I would not have changed a thing.
