    We wanted to thank Runaway DJ so much for all of your hard work for our wedding. David set an excellent vibe throughout the ceremony, he helped keep things moving, and were so incredible in putting up with all of our unusual av requests to ensure our friends could perform. And on top of all of that he did an excellent job of getting the dance floor started after we had such a chaotic transition over from dinner due to our own running around! We're really so grateful for his expertise, energy, and attitude. I know our wedding would not have been so smooth, memorable, or joyous without him.

    We got married at Deer Park Villa this summer and their preferred DJ to work with is Runaway DJ. We weren't sure what to expect initially, but we could be more pleased with how the night turned out. DJ Ed from Runaway DJ & Lighting was an absolute joy to work with! He listened to all our requests, which were very specific and sometimes ridiculous. He had a full understanding of our playlist and pretty much played everything that was a must hear, while at the same time being able to pivot based on the crowd's response He made the night about us, which not all DJ's do. Not to mention his attitude was positive and his excitement for all things music was infectious! A true professional. My only critique is I was not a fan of the colorful disco lights on the dance floor - but no one else seemed to care...they were too busy dancing and enjoying themselves : ) Thank you DJ Ed!

    Runaway DJ was the absolute BEST! Working with David is so easy and helpful. They sent us DJ Armin to host our wedding and he was phenomenal. Armin was such a professional and knew how to keep things moving along at the right pace. Everything from the mic'ing up for the ceremony, the toasts, special dances and party, Armin made it all happen so seamlessly. He was engaging, kind, and most of all he made my bride and I feel like we're the only wedding that has ever mattered to him even though he does many weddings professionally. We didn't feel, in any way, that we were just another gig, but rather the stars of the show. We had a lot of unique songs to be played at certain moments of the event, including a song from a Muppets movie and a specific live version of a Grateful Dead song, as well as a few obscure instrumental versions of popular songs. Armin found all of the songs, listened ahead of time and made sure they were included as special moments in the event. Our guests were never going to be to biggest dancers, but Armin got everyone engaged immediately. There are moments on that dance floor I will always remember. I also want to thank him for playing my parents' wedding song 'Cruisin'. If your looking for a team of professionals that really prioritize YOU on your most special day, Runaway DJ, especially DJ Armin, is the way to go.

    Chris, keeping everyone happy!

    Chris was the DJ for our wedding in September 2016. He has been doing weddings for 20 years, and his experience really shines through. I had a relatively small wedding of around 70 guests and I was afraid we wouldn't have a critical mass of people to keep the dancing going. We ended up dancing for almost 3 hours straight because Chris pivoted when the people were slowing down and switched up the tracks to keep the energy up. Everyone keeps telling us they can't believe how much they danced and how great the party was! He really selected a great combination of newer music that kept everyone on the dance floor, and oldies to keep all ages interested! In terms of logistics, Chris was very flexible about coming to the venue early to setup so that he wouldn't get in the way of the ceremony. I also thought that the questionnaire they sent us about what music we liked was well-thought out and incredibly organized, and Chris did a great job of honoring our wishes. I especially appreciated that he stayed away from those obnoxious songs that are popular at every wedding for some reason (chicken dance, anyone?) The only tiny, minuscule complaint I had was that Chris is pretty busy and hard to get in touch with beforehand at times. That being said, as we got closer to the date he came through and executed just perfectly, so it didn't end up being a problem at all. Overall we are very happy with our choice and would definitely recommend him.

    Jon Moore of J&M Entertainment just DJ'ed my wife's birthday party and he did such an amazing job! He was on time, his sound system was amazing, his lights were out of control, and he did the best job keeping the party going! When the energy level started to fade he would get on the mic and get everyone pumped up instantly! Jon and his crew are timely, professional, and affordable. I can't recommend them highly enough!

    Jon and David did an amazing job for us at our wedding (May 2012). I actually heard about them through a friend that used them for their wedding when I was first gathering info for DJ's last year. After hearing their name over and over again from different acquaintances I thought "I need to give these guys a chance!"... I'm so happy that I did. Choosing wedding vendors is very hard, for us food was #1 and music was #2. Both of these vendors met our expectations (we used "Out to Lunch" Catering). Each meeting was professional and valuable as Jon walked me through some of the logistical points of planning the wedding that didn't even occur to me. Me an my husband planned our own wedding but it was very helpful to have some pointers with planning a schedule and thinking about how long each wedding "line item" takes. From the end of the ceremony to the cake cutting it is a DJ's job to keep everyone on schedule and basically run the show, I thought that David (our DJ) did that perfectly. Jon and David came out and did a site visit at our property which was helpful and made me feel good that they were as familiar as possible with our site. The days leading up to the wedding David checked in with me and did a little summary of each part of the wedding (this eased my mind and worry). We had not chosen an exit song yet (one to walk down the isle after being married) and David recommended Stevie Wonder's "Sign Sealed & Delivered" and it was a brilliant choice. At that point I could not bear to make one more decision as i was overwhelmed by so many other tasks since my wedding was a day or two away. I was very impressed by the amount of music that they had. Me an my husband love all types of music but we really like electronica (deadmau5, Calvin Harris, Dub Step). I wanted some of this music to be Incorporated with out scaring some of the older guests away. I feel like David did an amazing job of transitioning into some of these song requests. We had grandparents and older guests dancing for hours then as the night got later we had a Barn Fresh Rave. It was epic and the best party of my life! The equipment they was very good and they rocked our 100 year old barn (where we had our reception). I would hire these guys again in a heartbeat if I had another event. To sum it up they get 5 stars for their professionalism, price, music selection, and overall delivery of services. If I could give Runaway DJ's a better score I would!

    Our wedding was during labor day weekend this year, 2015. We had the pleasure of working with DJ David Craven. From the first meeting to the wedding event David was attentitive, professional and personalized our wedding music for us. We felt completely comfortable leaving many of the song choices up to our DJ after reviewing what genres we were hoping for. I can't explain enough how great David and his team were. Everyone at our wedding enjoyed his work and we all felt he was a fantastic DJ. I would recommend DJ David Craven with Runaway DJs to anyone looking for music at their wedding or whatever type of event they are having. He helped get our guests cheering for our grand entrance and made everyone of all ages comfortable and in the dancing mood. Thank you Runaway DJ company!! -Mike and Andrea

We were so pleased with BPB and highly recommend them! From the very beginning Juan was so quick to reply to our emails and gave thorough information about his services. He worked with us with making sure the props meshed well with our wedding day. He also took time to design the printed photos our guests would receive. He gave us many options to choose from. The setup of his booth was what really sold me, it was fun but also had a clean, elegant look to it. I loved the open air style so guests can see others taking their photos and it felt more inclusive than the old school booths. The rose gold sequined backdrop was amazing! We received many compliments from our guests about how much they liked this style of booth. The night of our wedding we actually were running a bit behind schedule during dinner. Juan arrived on time and was ready to go but due to us running late guests didn't start to take photos until after 9p, we originally booked Juan for 8:30p to begin. He was so great and he actually stayed 45 minutes later than scheduled since we were behind. How accommodating is that? We we were so happy to learn that he stayed so our guests had a chance to get their photos and didn't charge us overtime. He went above and beyond in customer service. It was really a pleasure to work with Juan and his BPB team. I would definitely book with again for another event in the future. Thank you, Juan!!

Over…read morenearly two years of planning, her expertise, organization, and industry connections were absolutely invaluable. From day one, Lindsey was knowledgeable, kind, and genuinely invested in making our wedding everything we envisioned. Whenever I had a question, she always had thoughtful advice and recommendations. What I appreciated most was that she never pushed her opinions--instead, she shared her expertise while empowering us to make the decisions that felt right for us. She made the entire process feel personal and true to who we are as a couple. As someone who is extremely Type A, I expected to be stressed leading up to the wedding, but I honestly felt none. Lindsey was so organized, responsive, and dependable that I had complete confidence in her and her team. That trust paid off--our wedding day was absolutely perfect and ran seamlessly (or at least any issues were handled so flawlessly that we never knew about them!). She coordinated every detail with our vendors, allowing us and our families to be fully present and enjoy every moment. One of the reasons we chose Lindsey was her flexible planning approach. I loved that we could take ownership of the initial planning and vendor outreach while still having unlimited access to her guidance whenever we needed it. That level of support is rare, and her recommendations for vendors, from our DJ and rentals to our florist and cake, helped us build an incredible team that truly brought our vision to life. One of the most impactful moments during planning came at our 90-day meeting when Lindsey encouraged us to reconsider our decision not to do a first look. She thoughtfully explained that, based on our priorities, being present with each other, having time to ourselves, and valuing photography, it would enhance our day rather than take away from it. We trusted her advice, and looking back, it was one of the best decisions we made. She even built in a few private moments after the ceremony for us to soak in being newly married and enjoy some of our cocktail hour together, and those memories are among our favorites from the entire day. I'll genuinely miss my weekly (and sometimes daily!) emails with Lindsey. Working with her was one of the best decisions we made during our wedding planning process, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. If you're considering hiring a wedding planner, do yourself a favor and book Lindsey, you'll be so glad you did.
