Brian was very easy to get a hold of for any questions or concerns we had. Extremely professional as well. The music was mixed together so well. We had an evening wedding with basically 3 different areas being used at different times throughout the venue (ceremony, reception, speeches/entrance) and everything was set up perfectly. Our day couldn't have run more smoothly. We also used the instant spotlight (guests take pics throughout the evening on their phone for display) and the photo-booth. We received digitals from both after the event which was so cool. We sent out the photo-booth digitals to guests the next day with a little thank you for attending note. We also were provided with a scrapbook for the guests to put one of their photobooth strips in for us. The lighting choices made our space look amazing. All around, we couldn't say enough about Beloved Entertainment!

Brian and his team at Beloved Entertainment literally saved our event! The company that typically…read morerents A/V equipment for our gala was unavailable, and I reached out to Brian somewhat last minute (3 weeks before). Not only was he available, the pricing was reasonable, and he was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and responsive. It was such a blessing in disguise to work with Beloved Entertainment. Not only do they set up the equipment, but Brian was there during the presentation to ensure we didn't have any tech issues. So grateful for his attention to detail, friendly demeanor, and professionalism. Looking forward to booking him for next year's event!

I would choose him over and over. don't hesitate to book here!

If you are considering CJ Sound I would keep looking. The DJ (Batman) could not read the room at…read moreall. Blasting the music so much most people went outside so they could talk. The DJ was asked twice to lower the music, but did not. He seamed to be lost as to what to do next and multiple times had to double check with the couple. The bride and groom didn't want the garter ceremony and he asked them to come to the floor and then asked for a chair and played the music, nothing there but embarrassment for the bride and groom. So if you do go with this company be sure that you do not have BATMAN as your DJ. Big company they hopfully can.t all be that bad.

We could not be happier with the service that CJ Sound provided for our event. They are…read moreprofessional, conscientious, skilled and polished. DJ Dennis was an absolute joy to work with. He had amazing ideas to enhance the vibe of the party. He knew our venue and had specific ideas how to transform the room into a magical party room. Dennis' creativity is unparalleled. The attention to all details was so very needed and much appreciated. A friend specifically recommended that we hire Dennis and his team, and this choice was the best decision we made and their coordination of all of our elements was perfect. The entire team at CJ was amazing. Brianna was lead on the photo booth was terrific to work with in designing our photo strips to making a scrapbook for us at the end. The DJ handling our music, Tom, was spot on with our music selections and picking the right music for our event. What we planned was a once in a lifetime meaningful family event, and CJ enhanced it to perfection. Many people write reviews for poor service and do not review for excellence as well. I could more passionately recommend this team. If you can request Dennis, do so. He's energized and passionate. He accommodated our specific requests both in and out of theme. He gently guided me away from some early music thoughts I had which were really simply not good choices for the event. He guided us wisely and was patient with all of our needs. If we had the occasion to work with them again, we absolutely would do so. Just terrific.

There was a buffet dinner, open bar, prize baskets, an online silent auction and more - all going on throughout the longer than three hour event. The music was perfect, well chosen and not too loud, but just right. And Biggs' sound system and his hosting and calling of the winning ticket numbers was handled very well. As someone who used to do a bit of this work years ago, I was impressed. This guy and his company impressed me as being thoroughly professional! Larry W.

Searching for a DJ for my wedding was surprisingly difficult. Of course I pinned ideas for dresses,…read moreflowers, decorations, found my perfect guy... but the DJ was a hard choice. Most of my experience interacting with DJs at bridal shows were negative. They were pushy, all about the "flashiness" and expensive. They just wanted to sell sell sell you a bigger package, extra stuff, this and that. It made me so worried to find someone I felt comfortable "creating the party" at my wedding! I found the complete opposite with Biggs. My event coordinator at my reception site recommended him as our DJ, but I hadn't heard of him before. So glad I managed to meet him at a bridal show at Pearl Street. Biggs and his assistant were so professional! Both wearing suits, waiting for a person to clearly be interested before they approached them with a flyer. They were also playing some pretty fun music while we were perusing other tables, which is also pretty important for a DJ! Biggs continued his professionalism throughout my wedding. I was pretty last minute getting some details to him but he did great handling my last minute requests. Also his music choices were killer. I told him the bands/genres that I'd love to hear during dinner, I didn't mention any specific songs. My guests who have similar taste in music asked me if I put the playlist together because it was so perfect! I think just about everyone had a really fantastic time at my wedding dancing. Our epic last song (which wasn't planned til that night!) was a raucous sing along to Bohemian Rhapsody. So much fun. I'd recommend Biggs to anyone in need of a DJ for any event!

Leading up to the event, we had conference calls, as well as using his client portal, to update details (names, dances, song requests, etc.), which made it super easy for Mike to lay out how the evening would go. He really directed the whole night and everything was on time and went super smooth. Music choices were OUTSTANDING, he played a great mix of the styles we'd discussed, our dance floor was going strong the entire time. He played some hits, some deep cuts, we couldn't have asked for anything better. All of our guests and us really enjoyed him, his energy, his presence on the mic, his control of the room, his ability to read our crowd. His up-lighting made the entire space look great. I would highly recommend him. The cost was very affordable as well, we would have easily paid 2-3x more for the experience that we got. Thank you Mike for make our night awesome!

He was amazing to work with; our meetings with him were fun and put us at ease while also being incredibly informative.

He also understood exactly what kind of music we wanted and everything he played was spot on. Everyone had an amazing time and friends/family are still raving that ours was the most fun wedding they've ever been to. We largely have Mike to thank for that.

TLDR amazing for wedding photo/video package deal, very easy to work with, and BEAUTIFUL results…read more Coming from NYC, when my husband and I started planning our Buffalo wedding, I relied heavily on social media to find a video/photographer I really liked. I came across Expressions Studios and their photography + Videography package was too good to pass up on. Not only did it include a full wedding day coverage, but because we were getting married at Avanti Mansion, we also got an engagement photography session. After a couple of phone calls with them, we decided to choose them for our wedding. We had Paul, Alexandra (photographer), and Aaron (videographer) work on our wedding. For our engagement photoshoot in a garden, Alexandra was able to guide us through poses that made it look natural and also allowed us to do our own thing to make our personalities shine through the photos. She also has a great eye for finding good angles and backgrounds. We were so happy with the photos and couldn't wait for the wedding day. Leading up to the wedding day, we had a phone call to discuss the important shots and moments we want highlighted. For our wedding day, both Alexandra and Aaron captured the best moments of the day. They were able to move around so quickly and get all the angles, but we barely noticed them. We got our photos about a month after our wedding. They gave us ALL 1000+ photos they took with color enhancements (sepia, black&white, or color). It took awhile to go thru and choose photos where everyone's eyes are open - but I personally preferred it this way and being able to choose my own photos I want to keep. We got our 12 min video and 1 min highlight video at the same time around 1.5 months after the wedding - I was hoping to get the 1 min trailer sooner after the wedding to relive the day, but the 12 min version was definitely worth the wait.
