Not only did Michael provide music that every generation at the wedding enjoyed but he kept the reception flowing (i.e. cake cutting, first dance, toast, etc) better than any wedding planner.

He's got that "Smooth Jazz" sort of spin on the Folk & Classical Guitar vibe. We love his wide range of musical styles, from Santana "Samba Pa Ti" to Simon & Garfunkel. If you're planning an intimate wedding or party for "baby boomers" with 40-75 guests, I'd say having George playing live guitar is going to be a premium form of background music (or ceremony music).

We reached out in October for our April wedding, and from the first introduction, we immediately felt her calm confidence, keen organization, and eye for detail. We booked the "Month Of Coordination" package, and it was easily one of the best decisions we made in our entire wedding planning process. Layla took over all vendor communication, developed detailed timelines, and set up plans for both our ceremony venue (a redwood grove where we had to bring in chairs, etc) and the reception site (a coffee shop with an outside caterer). We changed caterers a month before the wedding, and added a videographer about three weeks before, and she incorporated those changes with no trouble. I had booked a classic Mustang as a surprise for my husband, and she kept that timeline and communication fully separate, so he had no idea. When it came to our rehearsal and wedding day, I was calm and able to be fully present because we were in good hands. I will absolutely recommend her to anyone and book The Day Of again for any large event. Thank you!

Have you ever met someone and just knew that they're going to be fun? That was Bobby! We met Bobby…read moreat the Bridal Expo and instantly hit it off. Bobby was friendly, knowledgeable, and most importantly, Bobby had a great vibe. My husband and I are very different (he, a selective introvert and me, a social butterfly), yet, Bobby connected with the both of us. In the end, we hired Bobby to be our DJ and MC for our wedding ceremony and reception and it was one of the best decisions we've ever made! After making official contact with Bobby, things couldn't have gone any smoother. A few weeks before our wedding, Bobby emailed us an Excel spreadsheet to prep for the big day- I appreciated this because it showed that he was organized and made an effort to put our needs first. He asked us to provide a list of songs that must be played, but we ran out of time. Instead, we gave him a theme (the 90s-2000s pop/hip hop/r&b) and he played all the songs that we loved. Even better, our dance floor was never empty! Bobby went above and beyond with his service- he made it a point to come to our rehearsal dinner so he could scope out the venue. He made sure the venue had the outlets he needed, where we would set up, where he could park, etc. He even stayed after to discuss lighting at the venue and ways to make it better. I could tell he wanted to be prepared and was willing to put in the extra time and effort to ensure he was as prepared as he could be. For our big day, we had two special requests for Bobby- 1) find/play two popular Thai songs (crowd favorites at traditional Mien weddings) and 2) carve time at the end of the reception for an intimate last dance- and he was able to deliver on both! Aside from the music, Bobby was a lively MC! He did a great job amping the crowd and setting a positive tone for the party. It was AMAZING! HE was AMAZING! Overall, we would (and have) recommended Bobby to our family and friends! He received many compliments after our wedding, and he deserved all of them. We were just so impressed by Bobby and so happy we found him!

He has this great planning sheet that gets you aligned quickly on wants and needs. He easily captured the right vibes we were going for with the music and really pumped up the guests. The dance floor was roaring thanks to his beats. I especially appreciated how Bobby was able to flex and identify how and when to shift music based on who was on the dance floor. He kept all ages happy. My bridal party really enjoyed working with him as well. Such a fun easy-going guy. Highly recommend!

A year on hormones and coming out in the world felt very much like a second puberty. I searched all over for ideas and templates for my ceremony but didn't find much until I found Lauren's website as a Love Celebrant. I reached out and we immediately connected. Her passion was equal to mine to celebrate trans joy. Lauren is extremely caring and warm. She had me delve deep into what I wanted and how I wanted to shape this celebration. She guided me and was so supportive, collaborative and affirming. The ceremony and celebration were magical and filled with love.

I don't even know where to start. When we first met Derik and Rebecca, it felt like we had known them for ages, they were very friendly, kind, humble, resourceful, and simply put: amazing. I am sure everyone knows how important first impressions are, and we knew instantly that these two were the ones for us. Throughout the process of planning our wedding, my husband and I had been compiling a list of songs that we wanted to play, and of course we needed a few recommendations for some events. Derik went out of his way to help us by emailing us song after song to try to make our overwhelming selection process that much easier. Besides the amazing help we received in the planning aspect of our wedding music, Derik and Rebecca took time out of their busy lives to shoot us a text or give us a call and make sure we were doing ok or if we needed anything.... WHO DOES THAT?! These two! Derik delivered a top notch service for our wedding, and I can honestly say that if we had gone with anyone else, I don't believe it would have been as fantastic of a time as it was. There wasn't a moment I looked at the dance floor and didn't see people on it enjoying themselves. I cannot thank Riptide Entertainment for all they did for my husband and I.... Derik and Rebecca, I hope you both know how truly amazing you are and how thankful Taylor and I were that you were our DJ for our wedding. Your professionalism and your down-to-earth attitudes, on top of your good time vibes made for one hell of a day! THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts!
