We had an amazing experience with our DJ Trent for my daughter's bat mitzvah. He did a fantastic job keeping both the kids and adults engaged with lots of energy. The music was spot-on, the energy never dropped, and the dance floor was packed the entire time. He knew exactly how to read the room, transition between hype songs and keep the kids excited without it feeling over-the-top. The MC'ing was upbeat, clear, and perfectly paced. We received so many compliments from guests about how fun the party was and how great the music was. If you're planning a bat mitzvah and want a DJ who truly gets it, we highly recommend Trent his energy was infectious. read more

The Real Genius team was phenomenal! The dancers were fantastic. The kids had a blast doing all their favorite tik tok moves with them. DJ Trent was so so so brilliant. The kids loved him, the adults loved him, my 90 year old great aunt loved him! He found a way to work in all of our favorite songs from Chappel Roan to the Grateful Dead seamlessly and kept the crowd engaged. He is a pro!!! I will be recommending him to alllllll of my friends. I'm so glad we ended up getting the monitors. The graphics were RAD!! Everyone was commenting on how cool they looked. The montage Randy created for us was so beautiful, it made my husband cry like a baby. We want to watch it again and again. read more

I'm so happy that we got the Real Genius team for my son's Mitzvah!! Randy and his team (DJ Noah and the party motivator) were GREAT and kept the party going the whole time! The kids loved the games and danced a ton!! I appreciated how professionally Randy runs the business and that he takes the time to do a zoom before the party to connect. He had a lot of good ideas about how to set up the party that I hadn't thought of and how to adjust the timing so it flowed well. I took a lot of his suggestions and I'm very glad that I did. I could really relax knowing that Randy was going to take care of the whole party. We'll be back for our next Mitzvahs down the line (better cue up the Kendrick Lamar songs :) read more

Thank you Randy! I read many reviews and spoke with friends, who have used your company, before I made my decision. I knew to trust your recommendations because you know this business and I was right to do so. The whole evening was full of great energy from start to finish. I don't know how you and your staff pull off entertaining both adults and teens and even the younger kids for 4 hours straight! Your DJ is the best! The dancers are so skilled and high energy! And your MC , we had Cliff, was exactly what we needed for our party! Thank you so much for making our event a night we will always remember. Thank you for holding my hand through the process and recommending Chrissie who was also a lifesaver!. You really are the best in the business! read more

Real Genius is the absolute best! Randy and his team were so easy to work with throughout the entire process and really customized the Bat Mitzvah party to our daughter's vision for the night. Randy made great recommendations for music and activities and helped create a timeline to execute a great flow to the event. He's very familiar with so many venues and had great tips on how to make our event perfect. MC Cliff and his team kept the kids engaged and having a great time the entire night, and, even a few months later, we still have guests telling us it was the best party they've ever been to. We would highly recommend Real Genius to ANYONE! read more

I recently was at party for my cousin's Bat Mitzvah, and Randy and his team absolutely blew me away. The party was a big hit!! This team and their energy levels were through the roof! They had two break dancers who had the guests dancing on the floor the entire night. Randy had everyone engaged with dancing, games, or activities all evening. The DJ crushed it! Played every song the kids wanted and a ton of stuff that got the adults up all night. They really knew how to keep the party going. Craziest party I've ever been to!! It was a huge success thanks to Randy and his team. I would highly recommend these guys. Better than the rest! HUGE SHOUT OUTS TO Real Genius Entertainment for making my cousins party an absolute SMASH!! read more

Real genius was exactly what we needed for our son's Bar Mitzvah party! Randy understood our child's needs and read the room better than anyone could have. It was the perfect vibe and the perfect party without ever a dull moment. If there was a moment where he felt the kids were getting tired, he would switch it up with a game or some cool new moves from his dancers, and the party would pick right back up. I couldn't have been happier. Thank you! read more

Our daughter's bat mitzvah celebration was spectacular! Thanks to Randy and his team, every moment was energetic, fun, and filled with lots of love! Randy took special care to make sure all of our favorite songs would be played, customized music for us, expertly set up amazing lighting that makes SUCH a difference in a blank room, answered all questions leading up to the big day, and most importantly, he made us feel like our event was his very top priority! (Which I'm sure he does with all of his events!) Our dance floor was never empty. I expected *some* lulls but nope! Constant smiles and dancing the entire time and soooo many compliments for the weeks after the event from all of our guests. Randy and Real Genius are always going to be my go-to when it comes to events! My ONLY complaint - and it's a big one - is that the night ended and the next day, it was back to reality. But... I guess that's not his fault. THANKS RANDY! You're the very best! read more

If you want the BESTEST, MOST PROFESSIONAL, MOST ORGANIZED, MOST CREATIVE, and MOST ENTERTAINING DJ / MC for your Bar / Bat Mitzvah event, look no further... Randy Lehrman at Real Genius is your guy. Randy (along with DJ Vince and Dancers Ryan & Kaity) made our son's Bar Mitzvah celebration an event we will never forget. All of our friends and family kept raving about what a fun party it was (the words "best party ever" were used again and again), how entertaining and creative our "crew" was, and how well you were able to get all the kids to dance, play games, celebrate our son, and have a great time. The lighting was perfection, the confetti blast during the hora was epic, and everyone loved the gaming stations and photo booths. Cannot rave enough... thank you SO MUCH Randy... you are the GOLD STANDARD! read more

Where do I even begin! What an extraordinary person, entertainer, and all around amazing person Quinton from Real Genius Entertainment is. We couldn't be more thrilled with the party he threw for us. He had every guest up and on their feet the entire night. Quinton also seems to just be an all around good guy. We just had to let leave this review for him so the world can know how incredible he is and what an amazing time we had!!! And credit is also due to the dancers as well because they were also fabulous, and so so sweet! Hire them!!!!! I promise you won't be sorry read more

I highly recommend using Real Genius Entertainment/Randy & Team with at least 1 dancer for any party or big celebration. I also used the smoke machine which we were very happy to have had. We hired them with a dancer - Juan for a large 13th birthday party and Juan was a lifesaver. Randy went above and beyond to make us feel like a "VIP client." We were not sure how we were going to keep all the 13-year-old boys from destroying our backyard. Juan kept all the teens captivated, entertained, and had them on the dance floor from the very beginning of the night to the end. When the kids were uncooperative for our entrance dance and speeches, Juan rounded them up and got them seated. He brought lots of energy and helped keep the timing of the party on track. The DJ played all the songs we had requested at the right times, executed everything with perfect timing and had all the kids jumping up and down. Thank you Real Genius Entertainment for making this night so memorable. read more

Real Genius is the real deal! Our bar mitzvah party was a huge success because of the music, emcee, and dancers. It was so nice to watch the kids letting loose on the dance floor, and everyone was exhausted by the end of the night from dancing and jumping around. Grown-ups included! The party was so well hosted and there was never a dull moment. Entertainment was top notch. Real Genius was a pleasure to work with from the very beginning, and we will absolutely recommend to our friends with upcoming events. read more

Ok, let me just say; RUN (don't walk) to book with Randy and his crew. Everyone from Real Genius Entertainment was incredible! Randy was the MC for our boys Bar Mitzah party and he kept the fun going in such a seamless, professional, and amazing way. The kids had a blast, the grownups had a blast--everyone was dancing, playing games, fully engaged and he along with his top-notch DJ and dancers made the night truly awesome. We already know that we want Real Genuis again in 5 years for our next Bar Mitzvah!! read more

I just attended my second Real Genius event and they never fail to entertain. Randy and his dj crew are always hyping up the crowd to dance and have a good time, children and adults alike. The kids enjoyed the games they played and the interactive dancers had great energy! I loved the lights they brought with them which made the venue have a memorable and unique look to it. All in all I'm always happy when I'm at an event with Real Genius Entertainment. read more

Randy and his crew are the BEST! I actually signed a contract with another company, but when I saw one of the Real Genius emcees at a bar mitzvah I knew immediately that I needed to forfeit my down payment and work with Randy. We had emcee Ninja, Coby, and two amazing dancers at our bar mitzvah and they were incredible. All the kids and adults were on the dance floor! Everyone stayed and danced until the very end (unheard of!) and people have been calling me to tell me it was the best party ever! Our son's friends have been telling him the same and I know that he is thrilled. Another invaluable aspect of working with Real Genius is that Randy is such a great resource. He knew our venue and worked with our coordinator on the table and teen lounge setup, where to put his setup, and how to light up the place so that it looked like a club. He even knew to put an LCD wall behind dj Coby to offset the dark windows. They put our son's name in lights on a wall and it really added a sparkling personalized touch. If you are still reading this way too long review (sorry!) you can see that I very rarely post reviews on Yelp. I just had to for these guys. I cannot thank enough Randy, Ninja, Coby, and the dancers (I wish I knew their names!). Thank you for making our son's bar mitzvah celebration such a memorable evening! read more

I cannot say enough great things about this company - they made our party great. Randy did our run of show and paired us up with an MC, DJ and dancers that were the best fit for our event. I was hesitant about the dancers - but thank goodness they were there - they got everyone up on the dance floor and helped keep the energy up. Listen - if you can get 13 year old boys to think you're cool and admit they are having a good time - you've done the impossible - and that is just what the crew from Real Genius did. read more

We used Real Genius Entertainment for my daughter's Bat Mitzvah reception. Randy, the DJ, and the dancers were great! They lit up the room with cool lighting creating a super fun party vibe. My daughter and her friends were on the dance floor almost the entire party! The adult guests also enjoyed the music. Everyone had a blast! Our family highly recommends Real Genius Entertainment! read more

Real Genius really ARE geniuses. Working with Randy and his team was great. Incredibly reliable, fun, and so solid. Everyone goes through nerve racking feeling when things are not ready and only a few days are left. However, with Randy it felt like there was finally force that could put everything together. And it did! Lights were awesome (please look at before and after picture). Ninja was great. Airbrush and Photobooth worked seamlessly. It was fun, reasonably loud, light, airy, and cool! Our movie (hand made, put together by us), even our movie looked better than it was. Games were hilarious, there was so much screaming and laughter. Thumbs up, toes too! read more

I am conflicted about this review. MC Cliff, DJ Ryan, and their dance team were 5 stars. I have no complaints about the service they provided at the party. I would definitely book them again. The music was great and the crowd partied and danced non stop. In fact we got so many compliments. We went with Real Genius because Randy marketed himself as a one stop shop to take care of everything. He said he would take care of the planning so our event ran smoothly. Mind you we paid over 6 k for his services. Unfortunately less than 2 weeks before the party he then suggested we hire someone he knows as a day of person. This person was charging an additional 2500 just to be there on the day of in case there were any needs. Pretty shocking considering everything was supposedly already arranged and paid for. I did hire a day of person for a small fraction of the price and she was able to help the caterer make sure things went smoothly, but to be honest she wasn't really necessary just some extra hands. My biggest concern was that we paid for a name feature and lighting features and it wasn't there and no one told us in advance so we could make other arrangements. Although Randy later offered us a refund for the name that doesn't change the fact that we didn't have what we paid for. My son would have loved having his name projected at the party and the lights in his pictures and videos. I think that Real Genius offers a good service and maybe this was a one off, but it's important that you manage the process and confirm you are going to get everything you paid for. Our mistake is that we assumed Randy would reach out to us if anything further was needed for the event or if anything was time sensitive. Get a to-do list as soon as you hire someone. Had we not reached out 2 weeks before our event who knows. read more

Randy and his team-- DJs, emcee, dancers, photo booth operator, and airbrush artist did a wonderful job at my daughter's Bat Mitzvah. Randy worked closely with us to strike a balance between the sort of event we (the parents) wanted and what my daughter liked. Bat Mitzvahs combine two groups of people with very different tastes, but Randy managed this well. For example, interest in dancing tends to lag after a bit. Randy helped us to choose affordable give aways that our DJ could use at key moments to get the crowd back on the dance floor. It didn't hurt that Randy knew our venue backward and forward. He's got a lot of these events under his belt. One of the highlights of the night was the gameshow in which the Bat Mitzvah guests played a game which was "Name That Tune" meets "Family Feud." The adults had fun guessing old TV show themes like "Sandford and Son", and the kids got pop stuff they knew and I still can't tell you what it was--something for everyone. We had a glow party and got a bunch of light effects--lasers, uplighting, an LED wall, dance cubes, and a GOBO personalized with my kid's artwork. These things weren't cheap, but my girl got a big thrill from having her artwork displayed for all in lights. It was a spectacular party and everything my daughter wanted. read more

Randy and his team did an AMAZING job at my son's Bar Mitzvah in January! We also got a photo booth from him that was a big hit - not a traditional booth but open air so lots of people could fit into each shot. Randy was easy to work with, very reliable, and more than delivered on the day of for a FANTASTIC event. Everyone was on their feet, having a wonderful time on the dance floor!! Couldn't recommend him more strongly. read more

This is the second event we hired Randy at Real Genius Entertainment for. First our daughters bat mitzvah 4 years ago was a huge success. Last weekend was our son's bar mitzvah and it was such a blast. Randy is like family now and I have complete trust and admiration in his talents in getting BOTH kids and adults up and engaged the ENTIRE party! In our pre-meetings we were a bit worried as we thought our son would not dance and be on his phone in the corner. We were delightfully surprised our son was on the dancefloor the entire time!!! He and his friends had such a blast and many of his friends came up to me to tell me how much fun they were having! Randy and dancers keep the kids engaged and the parents laughing! We are blown away at the fun all the kids had! Kudo's to Randy! I recommend Real Genius 110 percent along with dancers and green screen! read more

The thing that makes Randy and his crew of entertainers (DJs, emcees, and dancers) better than the rest is that every party is custom. Randy sits down with the person who's party it is (in this case my son for his Bar Mitzvah) and makes sure to understand what they want. If they don't dance as much as others, then he focuses on games. My son is particularly shy, yet Randy and the RG crew made his Bar Mitzvah an amazing party. Everyone keeps raving about how much fun they had, even the people that constantly go to B'nai Mitzvahs. If you want a group of highly energetic people that will make your party perfect for you, then just call Real Genius Entertainment. Thanks for making Max's party a blast! read more

Randy and his fantastic staff have been hired to work at so many events I've been to. I've been to at least five Bar/Bat Mitzvahs (one being my own of course) and I've never seen anyone better. Randy and his team have this insane way of keeping people on the dance floor THE ENTIRE TIME. You are pulled to the dance floor like you're in a trance and you don't leave. (It's not like you want to anyways haha). I've seen countless parties that suck because no one is hyped or dancing but Real Genius always brings the energy up and gets people partying. The DJs are so good at what they do and the songs are always songs EVERYONE loves. Randy brought his team to do my homecoming dance, and I've yet to hear one person at my school complain about it. In fact, this was the best school dance we've had in YEARS and we've already hired Real Genius to do our Winter Formal. Anytime a family member or a friend tells me their event is using Real Genius I prepare myself for an epic night and I make sure I can go. Real Genius brings not only energy and good music, but fun party games for adults and children, an MC that is sure to charm you, and dancers that make you feel like you know what you're doing. I guarantee if you hire Real Genius you are securing an incredible event. No one does it better. read more

Nothing but great things to say!! I highly recommend working with Randy at Real Genius Entertainment! He was incredibly responsive & came to the table with creative ideas & fun suggestions to make our event super special. He also created a custom timeline to keep our event on track & the party flowing so there were zero hiccups! It truly felt seamless. Randy also hand-picked our DJ based on our consultation & event details & really nailed the selection. DJ Tetris was AWESOME, he brought such a fun vibe to our 80's Prom Night & felt like a guest at our party. My friends are still complimenting me on the DJ selection, which of course I had little to do with, aside from calling Randy who did the rest! So...if you're on the fence...do not hesitate, you won't be sorry! read more

Randy, You and your team were WONDERFUL!!! I am so grateful to you, your DJ and your dancers. You ran that party beautifully and my daughter said it was a fantastic time. She got 49 text messages the hour after the party was over from her friends telling her how much fun they had. The vendors were also terrific and professional and it was truly an amazing night. Thank you again Randy! Please tell your team how much FUN we had (I truly hope Maya didn't see me when I was dancing with your dancers because she will have my head) but I am blown away by your expertise and couldn't be happier with our event, largely in part to you.

Recently we had a school function at my daughters preschool and Randy was the entertainment. Children from ages 2+ were dancing the whole night! The dancers were incredible and kept the kids (and adults) happy and attentive with their awesome moves. The sound was just right and not too loud for the kids - Randy's equipment and professionalism was top of the line exceptional. He kept to our timeline and noise guidelines. The lights and other surprises were so graciously provided. It felt as if Randy pulled out all the stops so the event would be a success. He made us feel special and loved and most importantly he brought a smile to children and parents alike. Guests were raving days and weeks after that they hadn't had that much fun in a while. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to friends and family. Just trust his years of experience he will make it an event to remember. read more

I can't say enough wonderful things about this group. We hired Real Genius Entertainment for my daughters bat mitzvah, and they were perfect! The energy level of the team was incredible. They kept the party booming all night with their music and dancing. The dancers, the DJ, and ninja, the MC, made sure the party never stopped. They also helped with other aspects of the party. They provided the photo booth, 360 video, and lighting for the event. All of it was impeccable! Every single person working there was professional and had a great attitude.

One thing you know if you go to a lot of community events and b'nei mitzvot--the DJ and MC really set the mood for the party. This party we went to by Real Genius was so much fun.

My youngest son's Bar Mitzvah was two weeks ago and it was my third. I had hired the "other" cool DJ in town for my second son's bar mitzvah and they were horrible. I was very concerned about this one and wanted it to be great. Randy promised me it would be and it was better than great. As I'm told, it was the Bar Mitzvah of the Century! I rented a large and somewhat ugly ballroom and need it transformed. Randy made the room look like Studio 54 (I should know, I was there!) with his amazing lighting and effects. The party was nonstop dancing, games, the dance floor was packed all night long. He knows how to pace the party, how to keep it roaring until the end and how to lead the rest of the people working the event. He's lovely to work with and makes you feel like you're his only client. Go with Randy and his team - for sure! The dancers were amazing and worked the party even before the dancing started. I can't say enough about this company and you might be making a mistake if you go with anyone else! With Real Genius, you're in good hands and you don't have to worry about a thing. Randy holds your hand throughout the entire process. I also have several friends who've used Real Genius and have had the same, fabulous experience! read more

WOW!!!, Once we decided on the date of our Daughers Bat Mitzvah there was no question on who we would hire for our entertainment. This was our second event with Real Genius Entertainment , and even though its been three years from the first , it only seems like it got better. The green screen, dancers, DJ, of course the MC Randy were all spectacular . This time around we added to the package the video montage , and with no regrets it was amazing. Well worth doing the entire package with Real Genius as one vendor does so much and makes it so easy. Knowing how to keep the party going all night with a planned time line , and great music ,games and lights. Kids and the Adults had a great time only because of Randy.

You simply need an amazing DJ/MC to lead the party and he kept it happening and exciting with high energy until the very last minute.
