We were thrilled with the Bluewater Kings Band for our wedding! Owen was fantastic to work with - he was prompt, organized, and enthusiastic in his communication. We splurged on adding a sax player and were so glad we did - it really brought an extra layer of talent and fun. The band absolutely nailed our preferred musical vibe. As soon as the music started, the dance floor filled up and stayed packed all night long! The set list matched our taste perfectly.

We had the absolute best experience with SpaceCat! From the planning stages to ease of payments (and willingness to split up payments), to the party itself. We love this band and can't wait to hear them again! The band worked with us to learn songs that were special to us and it made our night so unique. They were able to set up before the party started and we used their speaker services during cocktail hour/dinner. The band is huge - so many talented artists and musicians and incredible range of vocals. People have not stopped telling us how much fun they had at our wedding. At the end of the night, the encore was in such high demand, we paid to keep them on another hour! Please, don't hesitate when booking with them! We love you, Spacecat!

Amplified Events Michigan is an award winning DJ brand synonymous with personalized touch, clean appearance, beautiful sound, and ease. We care about your wedding as much as you do and we strive to cultivate relationships with vendors and venues to ensure your day is a team effort.

I cannot recommend Amplified Events MI enough!! I first discovered them at a wedding at Journeymans and they kept the night seamless. We wanted a DJ for our wedding that took our playlist seriously while also giving some creative freedom, so I asked for their information. Let me tell you - they did not disappoint!! DJ Jeff kept the dancing electric and there was never a moment where the floor was empty. He was so helpful throughout the planning process and answered all my 100 questions as an anxious bride. We decided to go with the uplights & photobooth as well, which we can say was the best decision!! It added the perfect ambiance & our family raved about the photos they got to take home. The Michigan team was basically our wedding coordinator for the whole process & especially on the day of, so we couldn’t have done it without them. He even custom edited a song for my father/daughter dance so I could have both parts I liked. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for making our wedding unforgettable!! I can’t wait to add photos once we get them back :)

Anna looks forward to working with you on your vision!

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I knew from the very beginning of wedding planning that we wanted strings to play during our ceremony and cocktail hour - but there are so many options out there it was hard to decide who to book. We met with a few people in Chicago who could do the job and seemed decent. The moment we met with Anna, we knew she was the best person for the job. Anna is extremely friendly and professional. She helped us walk through the process of deciding what package would work best for our vision. It wasn't about steering us to the most expensive package, it was truly about getting to know what we wanted to get out of the day and picking the best option to make that happen. Anna is great with communication and worked well with our wedding coordinator. She and her team are SO talented. The music they played during our ceremony and cocktail hour really added to the vibe of the day and made it so special. If we could do it over again, we could choose Anna again and again. Thank you!

I planned our entire wedding and reception and coordinated it all, too. My new bride told me that with my personality, my intense desire to always provide phenomenal customer service, my love of music, my business skills, and the awesome job I did with our wedding and reception, I should start doing it for other couples. The dream was born, and a year later, we were in business. That was 10 years ago. It has been an awesome ride!

Northern Lights Entertainment LLC was a pleasure to work with for our wedding. Their communication style was easy and responsive, making the planning process smooth. They were flexible, fun, and a breeze to collaborate with. They provided a helpful outline that broke down the night into categories, which really made the timeline run more smoothly. Northern Lights Entertainment did a great job DJing our wedding and keeping the dance floor packed all night long. We highly recommend their services to any couple looking for a professional and experienced wedding band and DJ team.

From a vendor perspective it's such a breathe of fresh air to find a DJ willing to work closely with Photographers. We don't always have a lot of time in the evening because of the hours booked, but Johnny ensures that we are totally covered & communicates throughout the evening about time, what we need etc to make it all happen for the couple. Not a ton of DJs work cohesively with us & it truly makes it easy for our couples! Not to mention he really gets the dance floor jamming! I personally am a photographer jamming out in between grabbing photos of the couple with their friends & family on the dance floor! You will be making an EXCELLENT choice booking Johnny for your wedding day!

I've known Ryan almost as long as I have been in the industry. The services he provides go well above & beyond just being a DJ! He cares about his clients & giving them the experience they are dreaming of. With a wide range of add ons from uplighting to customized song lists you can tailor your experience in partnership with him. In an industry where we see 20-30 new couples a year it means so much to him that you leave feeling like you were cared for but more importantly that you're family. From a vendor perspective Ryan adamantly believes in being part of the team, works swell with video + photo teams (like myself) to ensure we are staying on schedule for the day, but that none of your essential moments are captured!
