With all the planning and coordination thats involved in planning a major event, (such as a renewal…read moreof vows) the final day seems to come and pass ever so quickly. However, long after the reception is over, our guests still continue to talk about the magic they witnessed. We joke about the tricks that he did specifically for the bride and groom along with tricks done for our guests (about 40 people). Overall, Francis Menotti is very nice, flexible, well groomed and not pretentious. His jokes maybe a little corny, but the magic/illusions definitely makes up for it. Even, as I write this review, I still wonder how he knew what word my wife would circle. He totally exceeded our expectations and we still have very fond memories of our 10yr anniversary.

I don't know why I didn't write this sooner, but I was recently reminded of the amazing…read moreentertainment we had at our wedding reception a couple of years ago. My husband and I had our official ceremony in Vegas, but wanted to throw a fun party with our friends and family back home in Philadelphia. We had seen Francis perform at a couple of local shows and were thoroughly entertained and astonished by his fun demeanor and deft skills. We thought, "why not have him entertain our guests at the 'local' wedding party?" So glad we did! Francis showed up and immediately began blowing us away with a great, laid-back attitude mixed with some of the most unbelievable tricks I've ever seen (and I've seen magicians!) He is friendly, clever and incredibly talented, and would be appropriate for any type of function. He made it around to everyone (about 100 guests) and even customized a couple of special tricks just for us and our wedding (we even got to keep a personalized card deck he used for an amazing illusion)! If you want someone who's amazing, professional, reliable and classy (not cheesy!), then Francis is the guy you're looking for.

I cannot say enough great things about Mike and It Takes Two Entertainment. From the very start,…read moreMike was extremely supportive and guided our family through so much of the party process. He was patient, supportive, offered valuable thoughts and opinions, and really worked with our daughter making sure she was comfortable during the party as well as super excited. He was creative with his thinking and offered fantastic ideas that really made some special moments to stand out. On the day of the party, Mike was amazing with the guests. He kept the kids entertained and provided a space that was full of energy, excitement, and just down right fun. He provided us with an amazing set of dancers. They were truly exceptional keeping everyone dancing throughout the entire event. They interacted with everyone, all ages of guests, and was able to make sure the dance floor was a comfortable place to bust a move and have the most fun. Mike also made an incredible video montage of my daughter too. He creatively captured and put together a beautiful "walk down memory lane" of our daughter that truly warmed hearts. The music was properly chosen and then whole thing was OUTSTANDING! I could not be more impressed by Mike and It Takes Too. His expertise, professionalism, patience, and creativeness made this very special day for our family so memorable. We feel very lucky for all the support that was given. I am ready to book him for our other daughter's Bat Mitzvah taking place in 2019!

As we have grown, Scott and Nye Productions have advised us and met our needs with thorough professionalism. No glitch in our system has been a problem for Scott and his team. He has helped us to bring our vision for a day of music played on the porches of South Wayne to a reality. Scott has worked with us and well-known musical acts on tricky logistics so that by showtime their sound is perfect. All are accomplished with a professional calmness that eases everyone's concerns. Scott and his team have shown extra kindness and patience with our "Rising Stars" and school a capella groups thereby raising the bar for them (and us) to work with true professional sound engineers. We know we are lucky to have Scott Nye Productions in our corner on festival day. Anyone and/or organization would be lucky to have him. Cathy Agnew - South Wayne PorchFest

I've never heard Misery Business, Shake it Off, Mr. Brightside, and so many other non-piano songs in this format. And what's more, you wouldn't even really know unless you knew it was pianos because it sounded so good! Dance floor was hopping all night and everyone had a great time! Highly recommend for weddings, but I'm sure they'd be great supporting any kind of event!

I had Noam surprise a couple of my friends while we were hanging out by Lake Merritt and it was such a great experience! One friend was having a birthday and the other was leaving the country. Noam wrote custom songs based on tidbits I provided. It really made a special memory for them. They loved it! I highly recommend Noam for a fun event with friends. He can make up songs on the spot and it's honestly so impressive. I know my friends are keeping him in mind for future occasions. Always good to have a Troubador for hire on speed dial.

I hired him for a song for a private event to compliment a live sketch. He was unable to complete the finished version of the song, so we had to use a draft video for the performance. The song was perfect though. Wonderful and funny and silly and weird in the best way. Loved working with Noam. 5 stars if he had been able to complete the final draft for the performance.

He had us give him a list before hand and then he threw in his own flare during the reception. He was amazing at judging the crowd and playing just the right stuff to get everyone off their feet. Only wedding I've seen where the dance floor was full beginning to end! Afterward people kept coming up to me to tell me he was the best wedding DJ they'd heard! All the gear was there on time and he was extremely responsive even though he normally does equipment rentals and not DJing. I've seen the warehouse. He's got a little bit of everything if you are just renting equipment. In any case this is the only sound company I will recommend from here on our regardless of the event.
