    Let me start by saying that Marx Entertainment provided both DJ services and Photo Booth services…read morefor our wedding. We were very unhappy with the DJ but happy with the Photo Booth set up and staff. My husband and I had DJ Craig for our wedding in September 2023. We had two meetings with him beforehand were we discussed how we would like the night to run. In addition to a list of "must-play" songs (something we were encouraged to complete), we discussed how we would like our table-dash, anniversary dance, alumni photo, and private dance to operate. We also noted on multiple occasions during both calls that we DID NOT want a lot of remixes. Unfortunately, we were disappointed with how DJ Craig managed all of these aspects except for the table dash and private dance. Here is where our issues lie: - Out of our 30 or so must play songs maybe half were played. - As laid out on the Marx Entertainment website we chose a "last song" for the dance floor. DJ Craig played the song we designated as our last song as a way to open the dance floor. - The first 30 minutes were exclusively remixes and bad ones at that. It got to the point where we said something to DJ Craig, and while the music did get better, he still continued to play remixes. Honestly, a Spotify playlist would have been better. - The anniversary dance was something DJ Craig suggested and we loved the idea. However, instead of doing what he had described to us where he starts calling people off the dance floor after some dancing and starting with short time increments, DJ Craig called for anyone married for less than 5 years to leave the dance floor after approximately 20 seconds. People hadn't even REACHED the dance floor to start dancing at that point, including the parents of the groom. Not to mention we are a young couple and that kicked more than half of the people off the dance floor in one sweep. - College alumni photo was announced at a very weird time and very rushed. Just felt awkward - We were immediately asked once the lights turned on to provide a positive video review for DJ Craig. This was extremely uncomfortable and we gave dishonest feedback during it. We would NOT recommend him. Like I said previously, the Photo Booth staff was excellent and we loved the book they made us. We also had no issues with booking or prior communication with Marx. While the set up and logistical execution of the event went well we didn't feel our opinions were considered at all in song selection and that the fun mini-events we had throughout the night went poorly

Those that think they can just do their own…read morewedding with an iPod just don't understand the value that a professional like Don brings to the event. He spent time with the bride and groom understanding the type of music they liked. He even researched the guests and asked for favorites! The DJ does so much more than just play music. He literally controls the flow of the event. He has special lighting and his sound was just great. We did a lot of research before selecting Tasteful Productions. Don is a music veteran, having been a musician himself for years. He even played a piano during the pre-event hour making for a delightful and tasteful touch. I think an important thing to note is that a DJ can be "too" controlling, but Don did enough without over-the-top control. In all my research, Tasteful Productions came up the most. Even the location recommended this service. My son and daughter-in-law still rave about the great night of music and dancing and how smooth everything went. They aren't the only ones...even our family and friends still talk about what a great DJ we had. We were very pleased.

We had a pretty big health scare with my mom just before the wedding (thankfully she's okay now) and he really kept me and my husband super calm. He is super talented and I've gotten tons of compliments about how awesome our DJ was. From the first time I spoke to him on the phone, to the 2 hours plus we spent with him at Starbucks, DJ Ron really takes his time to get to know you as a person and as a couple. It was an absolute pleasure to have him at our special day and I would not hesitate to use him for any event in the future. Thank you so much DJ Ron!!!!

He communicated with our other vendors both before and during the event, allowing us to sit back and completely enjoy our day. The details during both the ceremony and reception were flawless, including the lighting, mixing, audio quality and timing of each song selection. Most importantly, he absolutely crushed it when it came to the dance floor, keeping people dancing (and singing) all night long. He listened to our requests and designed playlists, dances, toasts and announcements to meet our specific vision. No need to look any further. If you want to have an unforgettable wedding, this is your guy.

I knew exactly what I wanted and he was more than willing to oblige, as well as offer examples of ceremonies he had done previously. For music, we had our major songs picked out, but left the rest of the evening up to Craig. Our friends STILL talk about how awesome the music was, more than five years later. We got married in a barn and the dance floor had to be replaced after our wedding from our guests dancing and jumping on it ALL night. The dance floor was literally packed during the entire reception. I can't say enough about Craig. I would work with him again in a heart beat!

Craig was great in the run up to the wedding - he answered our questions, helped us work on both a playlist and a ceremony script, and communicated with our coordinator to make sure everything ran smoothly the day of. We are so glad we had Craig do the music and officiating for our ceremony. Stacy played all our music on cue and Craig was a great officiant. He let us have complete control over everything we wanted to do and say, respected the vibe we said we wanted, and of course most importantly sent in our marriage license as soon as he was able. We also got SO many compliments on his DJing from all our guests. He played the songs we asked for while also being able to read the room and know what songs would or wouldn't go over well. We had people dancing from the second the floor opened till we closed it down at midnight. Shoutout to Stacy as well who went above and beyond to help a family member with shuttle information when she totally didn't have to. All around a wonderful experience and I wish I could host another party to use them again!

    B_entertained High…read morehopes, high disappointments. I wish I'd seen a review that helped me dodge this bullet. If you are planning a wedding, choose someone else. We used to B_entertained to supply the rentals for our wedding reception at Egerton Park. As we prepared for the event, they made mistakes. For example, they sent us quotes that were triple the price of what they should have been, and which we would've had to pay if we hadn't contested them. In every zoom meeting, Mike kept his camera off, which felt creepy and unprofessional. The company was also unclear about their cancellation and 72 hour policies. However, we took this in stride, and we were ready to let them work things out. We thought we were having a communicative experience with their customer service, and were hopeful that it would go well. At the reception, the generator shorted out one hour before the end of the event. We had paid for the larger generator, but it still gave out. Fortunately for us, our family and friends pulled together and used phone lights to keep the dancefloor lit. We brought our own speaker that was battery powered, and without it, the music would have stopped too. I'm very grateful we didn't also hire a DJ through this company, as their equipment would have stopped working when the generator did. What was most disappointing to me was my experience when I called Mike to discuss this with him. I expressed my frustrations in the hopes that he could explain what happened. But Mike was combative, aggressive, and told me that it was our fault. When I made that phone call, I was prepared to write a review about how, even though the generator stopped working, they worked with us to find a solution. But Mike hung up on me before I had even finished talking. I hope the recording of the call will be made available to me. If he had dealt with me on the phone call kindly, then I would be writing a very different review. But I am immensely disappointed with the service, this reaction, and the way that he treats you once he has your money. I do not recommend this company.

The DJ was at the perfect level of excitement for the group, we had a combination of fun dances and popular songs.

At this point in time, you have been searching the internet far and wide I am sure to find the right services for your wedding entertainment, and keeping in line on a strict budget. I wish to tell you of my personal experience with Gabriel Fierro and his services at Milestone Entertainment of New England. Upon meeting with him, I knew firsthand that he was not some fly-by-night or on-the-side DJ but one who puts his sincerest passion and hard work into ensuring that everyone has the kind of entertainment experience that they have always dreamed of while working closely with us within our strict budget. Everything was thoroughly planned out from beginning to end, as we also employed his services as wedding officiant. The wedding packet shown to us was very detailed and gave us a plethora of options to choose from in addition to adding in our own ideas. We wanted a very unique wedding, and indeed, Mr.Fierro and his staff were extremely accommodating and helpful throughout this process. His prices were very reasonable and the quality of entertainment far surpassed my expectations! I have been to several weddings throughout my lifetime, and the most recent ones where I was a guest in attendance the bride and groom decided to hire someone who only did entertainment on the side, worked off of an iPod, and had no personality whatsoever. This was not the case when I worked with Mr.Fierro and company. He let us choose which music we preferred to have played and which music we did not want to have played, in addition to a perfectly run timeline of events that went off without a hitch that complemented our photographer extremely well. His and his emcee's personalities really reflected that of the kind of wedding we wished to have, because they took the time to get to know us one-on-one through several in-person meetings. They were punctual, formally-dressed, well synchronized to our venue, and all-around fantastic people to work with. My wedding guests told us that the entertainment we chose made our weddings one of the best they had ever attended, and I cannot help but believe this is because of how much Milestone went to understanding our needs! Before you settle on someone who you know that "does DJing on the side" and/or "is a friend of the family willing to do it for dirt cheap", please seriously consider having a free, no-obligation in-person consultation with the folks at Milestone. My husband and I were married a year ago and we still have people raving about how fantastic the whole event was!
