He showed up as MC, did a good job there, photobooth (had to hound him for the photos), but almost 5 years later, I still don't have my video. The trailer he sent me over half a year after my wedding started decent but just seconds in, the rest was garbage. It was basically clips of everyone dancing at the reception. Thankfully, I was able to get the raw footage of my wedding after consistent hounding and threatening to file suit against him ..and (some of somebody else's wedding too) but to this day, I still don't have our video. Prior to all of this, I had also recommended Tony to two other friends for their upcoming wedding after mine - one hired him for video (she got screwed the same way I did) and the other hired him for MC and photobooth (MC service delivered, photobooth pictures were sent to her weeks after consistent hounding by her and ME) Stay away - there's so many better and reputable vendors for hire.

However, it is now 3 months after my wedding and I have finally gained the courage to come out and warn future brides and grooms. I was referred to Tony Chen (owner of Sky Creations) by my wedding studio since I did not know where to start when looking for a DJ/MC and figured they would know best since they have been to so many weddings. Being that I had been procrastinating, it was 4 months before my wedding and most DJ/MC services have been booked. I made my first appointment to meet Tony with my then-fiance but an hour before the scheduled time, he emails me and asks if we can push our appointment back at hour since he was "running behind." I had no problem with that since I'll just grab dinner beforehand then, no big deal. I show up at 7:30pm and he is still with another pair of clients. He then proceeds to shove us into a little office to give us a very brief summary of his services/packages and costs and then had us watch video clips of his performances to waste time while he goes back to meet with the other two clients. He clearly overbooked us. After what felt like a long time, he came back to the room and brought us out to watch the timeline planning process with his other clients since they were to be married in a week. Yeah, WTH. We left after a few minutes. That instance was unprofessional in my opinion but Tony reeks confidence and is a really good speaker so I secretly hoped that that was just a one time incident, since I really did not have many choices especially because I wanted someone who speaks a little Cantonese during the wedding for my family. I met with another company a few days later and it was a disaster, so I had to choose the less of two evils so to speak. I met with Tony again a week later (in which he was tardy AGAIN) and booked him to be my MC, his DJ services for my ceremony and reception, and photo booth. I even half-joked that he better not be late the day of the wedding, but I was truly fearful on the inside. Most of my communication with Tony thereafter were done via email and by uploading my requests onto a website he provided me. He is actually quite good with emails which is great. I had a final appointment with Tony a week before the wedding to go over my timeline and then two days before my appointment, he tried to cancel on me because he has a event that day and his photographer cannot work. Um, WTF! I made this appointment a month in advance to ensure everything is smooth and does he seriously expect my schedule to be free one week before my wedding?! I have other appointments! I went ballistic. I confronted him about it in email and even called him, but he did not pick up. Moments later, he emailed to say he is available again. Oh, and of course he was late to that appointment too. Is it terrible to say that the day of the wedding, I was actually surprised he showed up given his record with tardiness? It's sad but true. So everything was fine, I went down the aisle and all that to my music. But as my husband and I turned around for the recessional music to leave the alter, SILENCE... We waited and the silence continued. Awkward. Finally in what felt like a long time my requested song played... starting RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF A SENTENCE IN THE SONG! Like, "...ble melts like lemon drops. High above..." Mr. DJ, did you fall asleep? Could you not have at least started it in the beginning of a chorus or beginning of the song? THEN during the reception there was a terrible moment Tony made a surprise announcement that the bride and groom were going to sing for each other. I have no idea where that came from! I went along because I wanted to be a good sport but why on Earth would you do that out of nowhere? Little does he know I hate karaoke and I don't even do it when I am out with my friends let alone in front of nearly 180 guests?! A few weeks after the wedding, I was hanging out with my friends and I was told that my photo booth stopped printing out pictures during the reception. I was mortified. I requested for a partial refund from Tony but was denied because he said it was "only down for twenty minutes." Even if that was the case (which I clearly do not know because I did not have a timer), it was during the prime time when people were enjoying it. Not to mention the pictures were printed out in 2x2's rather than as a strip which I had requested. I then realized I never received my glow sticks which were in my contract as well! Tony then just ignored my emails even though he had always been good with them in the past. I just gave up. It is a lost cause and too stressful. That all being said, Tony does get the crowd very involved and is a ball of fire. High energy, a great speaker, good at improvising and making things happen when needed. The choice is up to you, but I cannot whole-heartedly recommend him.

My Wife…read moremade several song requests during the duration of the wedding to which the staff regularly refused and laughed at. Towards the end of the night things escalated when my wife made a final request and I attempted to intervene to help her get one of her favorite songs played... which should not be so difficult on her wedding night?? The result was I ended up in a screaming match with the MC as he attempted to refuse the song. This song had no vulgarities or anything else about it that could be seen as offensive. The level of disrespect was unbelievable. Shortly after the altercation, the party came to an abrupt end and everybody filed out. If you are having an event that is important to you, stay clear of this business.

Joe and the band arrived on time and dressed to the nine's. They even brought a great DJ with them to spin while they were taking a break! They also took the time to learn a few songs that weren't on their list. They did an incredible rendition of a Pearl Jam song for my mother in law, that people are still talking about. Our guests were up and out of their seats from the moment Mack and Soul started to play. At the end of the night, people were yelling for an encore! The energy they bring to your event is amazing. When shopping for a band, we decided to go to Mack and Soul's showcase on a recommendation. We went to two other showcases after theirs but it was very clear that if we wanted the real thing, we had to go with Mack and Soul! Don't waste your time! Hire these guys!

We picked Vali Entertainment's "Big Mix" band for our NJ wedding ceremony and reception…read more It was extremely easy getting in contact with the owner, John. He was amazing to work with. We did have to drive into the city to meet with him but that was our choice as the customer. He works remotely. We went with the "Big Mix" and could not be more ecstatic with our choice. We personally met with the band leader Joe who listened to event request and OVER DELIVERED. in fact, we sent him sheet music before the wedding because we changed the song for our first dance and not only did they play it well but they ROCKED IT. I think another testament to their quality was that once of my bridesmaids who isn't a "dancer" told me that because the band was so awesome she danced to all but THREE songs. Also, the majority of our guests stayed until the end where the band ended the night with a perfect sounded Frank Sinatra version of "New York, New York". Vali entertainment follows through on the excellent standard they promise to deliver. Choose them and people will also be telling you "that was the best wedding band I've ever seen."

Recently spoke with a friend about his son's wedding, and after hearing what happened, I was…read moreshocked. I was told not to book any entertainment until we saw Vali Entertainment perform at his sons wedding because they promised an amazing show. Unfortunately, his experience was the complete opposite. Cocktail hour was supposed to feature a singer, but instead it felt more like three musicians having an informal jam session. During the introductions of the families, bridal party, and the bride and groom, the vocals were so low that many guests could barely hear them. The father, who owns a production company, went to the sound engineer. The mixer showed the vocal levels were already at their maximum. Two concert sound engineers attending as guests also believed the speakers being used should have been capable of covering the room. Thankfully, the staff at Legacy Castle stepped in and allowed the entertainment to use the venue's house sound system, which immediately improved the audio. Unfortunately, the energy of the performance never matched the expectations for a wedding of this caliber. The father asked what had happened to Sam, the performer he believed had been booked, and was simply told, "The music will get better." It never did. Eventually, the father had his own production team shorten the band's performance and start the DJ earlier than planned. That decision completely changed the atmosphere and helped save the reception. Based on everything I was told, I would personally look elsewhere when choosing entertainment. When expectations are set this high, the performance should meet them--especially at such an important event.
