I cannot begin to sum up how perfect Gerry and Golden Note made our wedding day. From the…read morebeautifully delivered ceremony music, to the cocktail hour through the reception, Gerry gave us a night we will never forget. Starting with a custom song switch to surprise my father and high energy keeping our guests (and bride and groom!) on the floor all night, the lights, dancing on the clouds and cold sparkling fountains, we felt like something out of a movie. Thank you so much for not only understanding what we were looking for, but also for knowing what we couldn't even communicate and giving us the most memorable and magical night. The open air Photo Booth had everyone entertained and the photos we will treasure forever. I can't recommend Golden Note enough. There will never be enough words to truly display or communicate the joy you gave us. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Michael and his entire team at Lightning Shakes NY facilitated an outstanding Bar Mitzvah!…read moreMany of our guests couldn't believe it was a Sunday afternoon affair. It had the look and feel and energy level of a Saturday night party. Michael's dance team was amazing. Our guests are still talking about it. We added a saxophone player and drummer as well. Michael was referred to us by a friend at our temple and he did not disappoint. We liked the fact that included in his price were games during the cocktail hour. The only extra was the pop-a-shot and his crew had it set up for the cocktail hour and then seemlessly broke it down and reconfigured it in the main room in advance of the main doors opening. We used his photo booth as well, which was a lot of fun. We didn't want to do frames and he was able to get us vinyl sleeves and tassels so the pictures can be placed in the sleeves and it became a bookmark. Our venue had built in lighting so we used the venue's lighting; however, you can use Michael as a one stop shop for lighting, video, photography and more. I selected 20 songs in advance, I didn't keep track but the DJ knew exactly what was current and the music and flow was excellent. We also did a trivia game suggested by Michael. He provided a very good checklist as well. We recommend Michael and his team for your next affair, you will be very pleased!

Hi Michael, WE LOVED…read moreTHE PARTY!!!! You are your group were the best part and made the whole party really perfect!!!! The dance floor was filled the whole time and everyone loved it, even the older adults. And so many of my friends (whose children are younger) commented that you were a perfect MC, really smooth, (not at all in your face aggressive, which they don't like,), great with the kids, had so many great games/dance games/ideas throughout the entire party and made it fun for the full 4 hours! and that Lightning Photo Booth was the BIGGEST HIT!!! My mother LOVED it, and she is a hard to please person!!! It was a great day and I could not even sleep last night because I was too wired thinking about the day. Also, I loved your dancers and EVERYONE commented how nice and professional and spirited dancers they were. Thank you again and I'll definitely recommend you to anyone and everyone planning a party going forward. And our family really looks forward to seeing your LSNY employees at the next NYU Holiday party! Thanks again for making the day so outstanding!!!!! Best Regards, Barrie and Steve

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.

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."

We had hired Redefined for Photo Booth, and Day of Coordinators for our wedding day. This recounting is a bit long and tedious, but we wanted to present all the details so any future customers can make an informed decision. The morning of the wedding, my husband started the day delayed due to photo/video taking too long. This forced him to cut out most of his prayers/blessings he should have received from his family. This was not the fault of the photographer, who asked multiple times if there was enough time for a few more photos. The DoC said OK every time, and when photos were over she told my husband that he's running late and only has 15 minutes to get on the bus or the rest of the day will be delayed. When the Church ceremony was over, the DoC was responsible to read out the order of photos at the Church. They started reading from a different list than what we had approved/discussed, causing a confusion and delay. We were very strict on timing here because there was a mass right after out wedding so we had to quickly take pictures and get out - no time for error! We ended up shouting out the correct groups ourselves and had a family member go up to help the DoC but instead the DoC ended up getting mad at our family member. Once outside, we noticed half the groomsmen were missing. We found out later that the DoC had placed the cooler, food, cups, etc in the wrong bus. When the Groomsmen alerted the DoC of the mistake, the response was for the Groomsmen to correct it themselves. This caused them to miss photos and a tradition. At the reception hall we had a photo shoot before happy hour started. The schedule we made had time allotted for me to get pictures in my wedding dress, change, and take pictures in my saree. Here again the DoC allowed the photographers to take more time for wedding dress photos instead of putting their foot down to keep us on schedule. As a result, I didn't have time to eat or to take photos in my saree because it was time for us to start the reception. In the following days, we had a few people complaining about our photo booth. Apparently the photo booth operator was missing for about an hour at the peak time people were trying to take photos, after dinner and before/during the dance floor. A family member waiting on line started operating the booth himself just to get the line moving and keep people happy. When the booth operator finally returned, he started yelling at our cousin for touching his equipment. He then proceeded to shut down the entire booth early and pack up his equipment out of his anger and frustration. A week later, upon receiving our highlight video from our videographer, we realized that the sparklers we requested for our first dance never activated. We reached out to Tiju Daniel, the CEO and our main point of contact. We explained our perspective, thoughts, and experience as laid out above. Tiju was defensive and combative for every objection we had. Not once did he admit fault or apologize, instead offering up excuses or blatantly telling us we were wrong. We also talked to Tiju about our issues with the DoC. Tiju's response was that his coordinators went above and beyond for us by responding to all our questions and phone calls. To clarify, "all our calls" meant once a week and then every day the week of the wedding. This doesn't seem unreasonable to us. We brought up the fact that his contract specifically states "unlimited phone calls and texts", so we didn't understand how they were going above and beyond. Tiju just kept repeating that they went above and beyond without further explanation. When discussing the Photo Booth issues, Tiju insisted that there was no fault to his company, and that the operator was fully justified for getting angry and packing up early. Another failed attempt and reasoning with him. At this point we were very frustrated. We told Tiju we do not feel we received what we paid for, and would appreciate some degree of compensation. Tiju responded that he does not give out refunds, so this is not an option. After a few more attempts to have him see reason, we told him that we are unfortunately forced to write an honest review about our experience with Redefined. He asked if we were threatening him and immediately offered to give back the money for only the sparklers after he got reimbursed form the company he bought them from. Looking back now, it should have never gotten to this point. If we knew what we know now, we would never have signed a contract with Redefined. We urge anyone looking to hire this company to be aware that the price may be lower but the professionalism and product delivery will match that lower price point. I hope nobody ever has to experience what we did with Redefined.

Absolutely loved this DJ. As soon as I stepped into the main event floor, I turned to my boyfriend…read moreand said "let's skip the food and drinks, I want to dance." Literally I was turning away free food so I could dance to the music. It was so upbeat with some of the more Caribbean/Spanish top charts pop music, which then naturally progressed to popular hip-hop songs. I think most people in the crowd had so much fun dancing to the music. I would definitely want this DJ to be at another event that I go to.
