Jeff-thanks for Being the best DJ ever!…read more I went with Jeff after personally witnessing his "no frills and no cheese" service at a friends wedding and I was absolutely satisfied with his performance!! Jeff called days before our event to verify details and chat further about my expectations. In discussing my original choice not to select a specific cake cutting song, Jeff recalled that my fiancé Mark and I enjoy the Avett brothers and he suggested to use their song January Wedding! I hadn't even ever heard that song but way to go Jeff, it couldn't have been more spot on! We had a short must play list which was complimented by the most ideal selection of favorite music! The dance floor was abuzz ALL night! Thank you SO much for keeping the party alive!!! -Amy and Mark

He jived and grooved with the music, setting a vibe of "get down on it" and we enjoyed every single song we requested and he put in. We had him do the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception, and he set up and provided EXACTLY timing and songs as requested! Even our guests commented on the music choices and Jim. The gal in the Office, Taylor was sweet and answered the phone and emails all the time. I even physically went into their nice office in St. Charles with a list and payments. Everything was professional and just great!! Great job. Book them!!

We had made sure that this company could provide photography without flash because the bride has photosensitive epilepsy, and they delivered; the photos still came out great with the lighting they utilized. They also provided a print photo album for us at the end of the night as well as a digital album of all the pics people had taken: fun! Pricing was reasonable with no hidden fees. Thanks for great service.

I met with them and we went over everything so nothing was a surprise. They even found a special version of a song I really wanted. The price was right, they were very helpful and easy to deal with. I loved the personal website I used to pick what I did and did not want at my reception (ie. The Chicken Dance was a veto). O..and they have a lot of AFFORDABLE options. We got a photo booth that was really fun! Id use them again!

Despite the distance it felt as though we were working directly with Jason. He was very attentive to what we needed he answered and advised us for good song choices. He also created a first dance mix that we requested within 1 hour of our request. He did all of the mc for the wedding and it flowed very smoothly. The best part was at the reception i can't recall one time where there wasn't at least 10+ people on the floor and truly the dance floor was always packed. He flowed with the crowd and switched up songs accordingly when it was dying down. Would hire Jason and his team again in a heart beat.

He was very easy to work with and he made our ceremony and reception flow FLAWLESSLY! He kept the energy high and the dance floor full all night long! He had all the songs we requested and I'm pretty sure he got through most of them! We purchased the "so fresh, so clean" package and added on the unattended Photo Booth! If there was one thing we would change is we would have gotten the attendant to help with the photo booth process, but that was on us. DJ Suavesmooth customized our photo booth logo to match our vibes and colors, it was absolutely perfect! He brought all the props and the setup was fitting for our crowd. It was comforting knowing we had a knowledgeable DJ with so much experience and professionalism, his crowd work is insane! We even received a highlight video from him a few days after, allowing us to relive our most incredible day. We would choose DJ Suavesmooth everytime around! Thanks for making our wedding day so special!

Backthird Entertainment exceeded my expectations. I reached out to them about a year and a half…read morebefore my wedding. Stephen stayed in touch with me for that entire year and a half, checking in on the planning process and asking how he could help. He even met with me for coffee a few months before the wedding because he wanted to be sure that he understood our vision, music tastes, etc. The dance floor was full all night. So many people came up to me afterward and commented that they had never seen such a creative DJ - his transitions between songs were so fun, and he was flexible and knew how to keep the party going. He also provided all of the sound equipment for the entire day. We played a video during the reception, and even though he wasn't responsible for the equipment, he quickly jumped in when it looked like the sound wasn't working. Honestly, there is no reason to consider using any other DJ. Backthird is the best of the best!

I manage events for a living and knew that, if I didn't have someone to do that, I would spend the night worried about the agenda. Nobody needs that on their wedding day. I came across Backthird Entertainment and these guys have weddings down. I filled out an inquiry and Robbie, my account manager, contacted me right away to discuss the details. He had great ideas about the flow of the evening and, after our discussion, he paired us up with DJ Andrew. Their online portal was super easy to use and we had the opportunity to add in all of the special events we wanted during the evening. Andrew was great about helping us coordinate everything, especially since our reception ended up being a bit of a variety show. I appreciated that Andrew and his assistant, Scott, took care of all the details. They showed up early to set up, kept us on schedule throughout the evening, and made sure to play our "must play" songs and other requests at the times requested. Robbie even made sure to follow up with me at various times throughout the process to make sure everything was going well. These guys are great and really care about their customers. They helped make my big day worry free!

They also put together a 3 song closer for the end of the night with Sweet Caroline, Dancing Queen and Don't Stop Believing. Despite having a professional Emcee and a live band, I couldn't picture my wedding without my bride, family and friends dancing joyously into the late evening. Thank you BOOM DJs for the save!
