Cutting Edge Entertainment was a fantastic choice for our wedding, and getting referred to their DJ Richie Abrams was one of the best things that happened during our planning process. All along the way - from the very first call we got, to our in-person meeting, to the big night itself - Richie was the very picture of a professional, making sure that we got exactly the vibes, energy, and of course the schedule that we wanted. Because of him, our night flowed as we had pictured it - he kept us on track, and kept guests having fun. I don't think our dance floor was ever empty. He smoothly transitioned from hit to hit, mixing the old with the new, and keeping people's energy up. We couldn't be more grateful to him and his assistant. I would recommend Richie and the Cutting Edge team to anyone in the greater Philadelphia area, because I know they can and will help to make your wedding dreams come true. read more

This business is listed as a booking agency in a list I bought on the internet. I called this morning to explore the possibility of enlisting their services as a booking agency. This very aggressive and unprofessional male voice on the line told me that the company has closed down its booking agency. I asked him if he was willing to share the reason for closing down the booking agency. He immediately started screaming at me, talking over me, telling me that I am rude to ask him why the booking agency closed down and called me an ass hole and a jerk. He then hung up the phone on me. I hope for the business sake this person is not a manager of the business sake. Although I identified myself, he did not identify himself. I hope he is more professional in handling customers. We'll see, read more

Would 10/10 recommend Richie Abrams for your big day!!! I cannot express enough how happy we were using you for our entertainment/DJ services. The playlist at every part of the evening was a perfect match from cocktail hour music, to dinner music, to getting literally everyone up and dancing on the dance floor. We had the time of our lives and you truly helped in making it one of the best nights ever. I received such great feedback from so many different guests on how amazing you were on the mic with the introductions and the music that you played all night long. It was a party from start to finish thanks to you! read more

Steve was the DJ for our wedding last weekend, and he was awesome throughout every step of the process. He and Richie were both very responsive and accommodating, and they made sure that we had all of the necessary equipment for our day. We didn't have a day-of coordinator, but Steve was super helpful in announcing all of the important moments throughout the day and helping tell the guests when and where they needed to be. He got everyone up and dancing, and created a super fun atmosphere from start to finish. Thank you to Steve and Richie! Cutting Edge was a great choice. read more

Richie Abrams and the Cutting Edge team were easy and great to work with! Richie was very accommodating to our specific questions and requests during the planning meetings and made sure the evening would be curated to what we were looking for. We had an eclectic mix of music for the reception ranging from current pop hits, old school 90's, electronic dance, and Indian (Bollywood/Bhangra), but Richie did a seamless job in keeping the energy high and the party going. All of our guests had such a great time and everything was beyond our expectations. I would highly recommend Richie and Cutting Edge Entertainment to anyone looking for quality music and entertainment services for an event! read more

We could not be happier that we used DJ Richie at Cutting Edge! From start to finish, he did a great job working with us to establish a schedule, determine what music we liked, and keep the night moving along smoothly. The dance floor at our wedding was PACKED the entire night, and it is no doubt thanks to DJ Richie! We received so many comments from friends and family about how great the music was. We are so appreciative of DJ Richie's time and talents, and highly recommend his services to others! read more

DJ Jared was the perfect MC for both of my sons' Bar Mitzvahs. The games that were played really allowed all the kids to have fun and the DJ played music to include people of all ages at the events. Communication before the event was clear and easy. I would definitely recommend for any type of event that would need a DJ/ MC. read more

Cutting Edge Entertainment, and especially Richie Abrams, provided a phenomenal experience for us and people are honestly still talking about what an exceptional job he did as our DJ and MC at our wedding on Valentine's Day. He elevated the experience for everyone involved in a way that completely exceeded expectations and I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking to take their event to the next level. Melissa and I took the drive out to Cutting Edge's location after reading positive reviews on the usual sites for those planning a wedding. I had looked over their website and was interested in some of their blogs on various musical topics Our intital plan was to hire a live band, but after weeks of watching YouTube videos, we realized that anything that wasn't incredibly corny was going to be outside of our budget. We did truly believe, however that the most important factors going into the wedding were food, booze and music. Everything else would work itself out. Fortunately we went with Cescaphe Event Group at Tendenza so the first two were no problem buts thats another five star review for another day. To be perfectly honest, my fiancee was a little apprehensive when we first arrived to meet with Richie. She felt the place had a little bit too much of an immature vibe. There were movie posters, video games, a room to play Rock Band and an inexplicable framed picture of Justin Guarini (I later found out he used to work there). Her fears were almost immediately assuaged once we met the crew and sat down with Richie to talk shop. Our personal approach to the wedding was to be as hands off as possible. I love music and I am definately very opinionated about it, but I understand my own limitations in terms of the right approach for a party. Also, we felt like we were in the price range for a premium DJ and if I wanted to design my own playlist, I would just plug in an Ipod. You don't go out to a fancy meal and then go tell the chef how to cook it. We felt the same way about the DJ and it was completely the right way to go. We talked very casually with Richie about our interests so he could get a feel for us and our taste. He told us some of the things he was firm about (line dancing, heavy metal, hardcore rap) as well as suggestions that his extensive experience had provided him on how to make the night flow well. We were dead set on some, but after listening to his advice, we slightly tweaked certain things like entrance music, song selection, etc. and he was absolutely right on all fronts. We left our two planning meetings with Richie feeling very confident and he.... totally... delivered. Night of the wedding and everything is... well, just like you would expect, a total blur. Cescaphe hit all the perfect notes on their end and Richie was the icing on the cake. He MC'd like a boss. He made people laugh, he made people cry. He knew when to hit all the right cues. He really paid attention to the conversations we had and from time to time during the dinner and making the rounds, I would catch songs that I had discussed with him way prior and didn't really expect to hear. And of course, the most important part is the dance floor. It rocked every second of the evening. I have never (an SO MANY of my guests have said this as well) been to a wedding that had a dance floor bumping for as much of the night as ours was. Our wedding was adults only but spread very much from people in their mid 20s all the way to people pushing 90 and I'll be honest, there were all dancing all night! My 80 year old grandmother said she hasn't danced that much in her life. He played the classics, he played the hits and even though he may have lingered one beat too long on the oldies (because the old folks wouldn't stop dancing), one suggestion from a bridesmaid and he switched it up to the high school beats that had all of my friends in a circle singing and dancing to the songs we grew up with. I know this is a long review, but there really is so much to be said about the level of professionalism, class, expertise, knowledge, approachability and just downright fun that Richie and the team at Cutting Edge bring to the table. There is no doubt at all that they will be my first choice for my music needs in the future and it should be yours too. read more

My family hired Cutting Edge for my sister's Bat Mitzvah, which was themed "Club Alexa". Their preparation began long before the day of the event. After thoroughly discussing our ideas, they went to work. Craig and the crew did an amazing job incorporating our personal requests with their creative flair. In addition to the decorations set-up by the party planner, Cutting Edge added some extra electronics to take the party to another level. They set-up large screens around the room to display fun graphics to match the music. And let me add that the music was amazing! Their company offers so much more than just DJ entertainment. We decided to add a live music combo to the mix with an awesome drummer. We wanted the night to start with a bang, so we requested they pay extra attention to the family entrances. Working with the theme, they pre-taped a video with my sister in the opening scene of a rap video outside a club. Our guests were pumped watching it and by the time my sister walked in (arm in arm with the dancers) everyone was roaring. They did a great job keeping everyone entertained during the party. Their professional dancers got everyone out of their seats and onto the dance floor. Craig and the other MCs scattered games with great prizes throughout the night. There were tons of give-away's and other great surprises; there was never a dull moment. Sky's the limit with Cutting Edge. If you have an idea, run it by the crew and they will make it happen. I highly recommend booking them for your next event! read more

DJ Tony was the best! Extremely calm, composed, competent, and fun! He took care of everything and did so in a seamless, entertaining way. He exceeded our expectations, and we highly recommend him and Cutting Edge Entertainment for any wedding or event. Thank you! read more

MC Jared was personable and meticulous. It felt good to let a professional sweat the details of our daughter's Bat Mitzvah. There were all of the special touches we had hoped for. He and his team (dancers Colleen, Elton and Darius, DJs Joe and Drew) kept the party rocking. The kids (and adults!) had a blast. Would strongly recommend for a good time! read more

Richie at Cutting Edge Entertainment did my wedding and did it perfectly. Not only did he pick the perfect music for the time and for the age groups attending, but he also nailed the pronunciation of my last name! They perfectly transitioned between songs and kept people on the dance floor. He worked perfectly with our venue and everything was on time and truly excellent. They go over everything before hand so nothing is a surprise and things can be customized for your liking. Trust in Richie and all will work out, I couldn't recommend more. read more

It was a pleasure working with DJ Ritchie for our wedding. He did an amazing job! We will be sure to recommend Cutting Edge Entertainment and DJ Ritchie to everyone! read more

We had a great wedding thanks to Richie and his enthusiasm for his work. He made sure we were comfortable with his ideas and listened to all of our ideas as well. Richie was very responsive whenever we reached out with questions or suggestions. We keep getting compliments on how great the music selection was and the dance floor was packed the entire night! Would highly recommend Richie! read more

I could not recommend Richie and Cutting Edge enough! My friends and family are still talking about how great the music was at the wedding. I felt completely confident in the timeline Richie and our coordinator put together, and Richie was able to get all the guests where they needed to be quickly for first dances, speeches, and cake cutting. I couldn't have done it without him. The music was absolutely perfect! We had specific songs that started/stopped at specific times for the ceremony, and Richie was flawless! During the reception he had everyone on the dance floor, and wouldn't let them leave! Seriously, we could not get off that floor because each transition was smooth and perfectly went into the next amazing song. Stop looking and book Cutting Edge for your wedding, and ask for Richie. You will not find better! read more

Richie (and the rest of the staff) at Cutting Edge was fantastic to work with from beginning to end! He listened to what we wanted and made it happen. From intros to cake to special songs and dances all the way to the very last song it was exactly what we envisioned. I can honestly say of the dozens of weddings I have been to, I danced more at my own wedding! Seriously great time, I'd recommend Cutting Edge and Richie to anyone and everyone for a great wedding or party! Thanks! read more

We used Cutting Edge for our wedding and we could not recommend Steve Foltz more. He was professional, kept the schedule, and played the music we wanted to hear. I had the opportunity to attend a wedding as a guest as well, and the dance floor was never empty at either wedding. You can't go wrong with choosing Steve! read more

My husband and I used Cutting Edge Entertainment for our May 2015 wedding. I was extremely pleased with how Richie took care of us from start to finish. When we were interviewing, we met at his office and he was very professional asking us valuable questions. Then we ended up having Skype meetings as that worked best for my schedule, which was a great plus that he was willing to do that! We loved his music suggestions, especially for the ceremony. Richie and his assistant were extremely professional during the entire event. Richie keep everything on schedule so I didn't have to worry about a thing and he's very personable, especially on the mic getting our friends and family on the dance floor. I would definitely recommend Richie to anyone looking for a DJ for any event! read more

Cutting Edge Entertainment truly helped make our wedding beyond special. Craig and the rest of his staff were incredible - from the first minute we set foot in his office, until the last of our wedding guests left the venue, they were immensely helpful, caring, considerate, polite and so much fun! Our wedding was amazing and they helped us organize the whole thing. For them, it wasn't just about showing up and playing the music (which they did perfectly). It was about getting to know us and helping to create the perfect mood and tone for us and our guests. We can't say enough about how wonderful Cutting Edge was - if you don't use them, you are missing out! Thanks so much guys! Sara & Evan read more

We were so lucky to have found Richie as our DJ. We had an italian and indian fusion wedding, which required music from both sides. We were very concerned that this would be difficult to pull off. However, Richie worked very hard to accommodate all of our needs, and it showed. He did an amazing job and our wedding night was perfect!! The dance floor was packed the entire night (including people we never expected to see dancing). When the night came to an end, everyone began chanting for him to continue playing songs! To this day, our guests are still talking about how much fun they had at our wedding. Obviously, we would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ! read more

Richie and his crew were the perfect compliment to our wedding! He played as many songs that we requested while keeping the party going. Richie had everyone dancing until the very end of our wedding, and our guests have since raved about the music. Thank you, Richie for making our wedding memorable and for being a fantastic MC. read more

We got married five weeks ago and are still reliving the wonderful experience Richie Abrams provided for our wedding guests and us. From the first time we sat down with him, we knew he was special. He is a consumate professional and was attentive and accommodating. He also had great ideas and suggestions. Richie exceeded our expectations on the day of our wedding. He got everyone up and dancing non-stop and made our special day an exceptional one for all. Thank you Richie, from the bottom of our hearts! read more

Cutting Edge did our daughter's Bat Mitzvah in June. What an incredible part it was and Cutting Edge was a huge part of that. From our first meeting to the end of the party everything was awesome. Marc was our MC and he and his staff at the part were highly energetic and kept the party going. The dancer were top notch and the adults enjoyed them as much as the kids. If you are looking to have a party that rocks wit h a staff that knows how to treat their clients the right way you have to hire Cutting Edge! read more

Cutting Edge Entertainment is great! My wife and I used them for our wedding. Richie is awesome and everything went so smoothly. All of the music was awesome and he played exactly what we were hoping for, and really kept our guests entertained and dancing all night long! I would highly recommend Richie and Cutting Edge Entertainment. read more

We initially chose Cutting Edge Entertainment for our wedding because they were the most professional and responsive DJ company that we had contacted. Once we had a chance to meet our DJ, Richie Abrams, in person, we felt even better about our decision. We were very particular about the vibe we wanted to create at our wedding and Richie really listened to us. He offered meaningful suggestions without trying to force us outside our overall plan for the wedding music. The result...our wedding reception was amazing! The dance floor was packed from the first song to the very last! It's been one month since our wedding and we are still getting compliments about the music. As one of our guests said, "I wish I could buy the soundtrack from your wedding!" read more

Fabulous! I really enjoyed working with Richie. He really knows what he is doing and everyone had a blast!!!!!!

DJ Jared and the good people over at Cutting Edge Entertainment are as good as it gets. They did a stellar job for us not once, but twice in 2 years. Our guests at each Bar Mitzvah commented on how we had more than a DJ, we had a team dedicated to keeping the party going. All of the kids had games to play and the adults had great music to dance the night away. It is without hesitation and with the utmost confidence that I would recommend this company in general and DJ Jared specifically to help ensure that your special event is magical! read more

This past weekend, Richie had everyone dancing at our wedding all night! We received Richie's name from a family friend and could not be happier. Throughout the planning process, Richie and Cutting Edge were very responsive, provided great input while also listening to what my husband and I were looking for. It's clear that he is a professional and knows how to keep a crowd dancing and happy! He also provided the music and mic system for our ceremony which made planning even easier. Would definitely recommend Richie and Cutting Edge Entertainment! read more

We had an exceptional experience working with Richie. There are so many things to figure out and deal with when planning a wedding and some of it can be a bit stressful, but working with Richie was a very smooth, easy and enjoyable part of our process. He gave us plenty of time and attention up front to help us plan songs for various parts of the wedding (procession, father/daughter dance songs, etc.), and gave us great suggestions when we asked for them, as well as was very interested in what kinds of music we would want (and not want) at the reception. On the day of we never had to worry or think once in regards to the music. He arrived with an assistant (as planned), he coordinated the pre-ceremony music & ceremony procession music flawlessly (in a separate space from the reception), his microphones for the ceremony worked seamlessly. Then for the reception everything went great with introductions/toasts/etc, and he made special announcements for things we wanted the guests to know about. As for the dancing, everyone kept raving about how much they enjoyed the music and loved the songs he picked. It was a hit with our younger and older guests. In fact several guests told us he was the "best wedding DJ" they had ever seen! The dance songs he played were a nice blend of songs we had discussed previously and songs that fit with the crowd and the music we enjoy. Our wedding was pretty compact in 5 hours from start to finish for the Ceremony and Reception and Richie did a great job making sure the timing and flow were moving along with our timeline. He was always very polite, fun, easy to talk with and very professional. I cannot recommend him enough. The other nice thing about Cutting Edge is that if a DJ were to be sick on your date you would have a backup with one of the other DJs. If we had to do it all again we would absolutely go with Richie again, and are recommending him to our friends and coworkers who get engaged. read more

We are so happy that we chose Cutting Edge Entertainment for our wedding! Specifically, we were thrilled with the amazing job that Richie did as our DJ! From our first meeting with Richie we knew we wanted to book with him - we could tell that he was going to make our wedding so much fun. Richie thinks of everything - there are so many little details about planning wedding music that we never would have thought of on our own, and Richie covered every detail with us. He was incredibly professional, and we instantly clicked with him and felt at ease. We knew we could trust him to make our wedding a blast. We had so much fun in our prep meeting with him, listening to all kinds of music and making our choices for the wedding. He never rushed us or pushed us into making song decisions that we didn't like, but he was also very helpful in making suggestions and providing helpful ideas. We had no worries going into the day - we knew that Richie would be a great MC who would have everything running smoothly. Richie showed up early and set up all of the microphones for our ceremony and made sure everything was in order. When we made a major change on the fly to move our first dance outside, Richie was totally cool about it all, and it all went off without a hitch. He does a great job of getting everyone on the dance floor, and he worked very well with all of our other vendors (most of which he had worked with quite a bit in the past). We had such a great party and know it wouldn't have been as much fun without an awesome DJ like Richie! read more
