The DJ was at the perfect level of excitement for the group, we had a combination of fun dances and popular songs. The music quality was perfect, and they even brought lighting to make the dance mood under the tent even more fantastic! The sound system for the ceremony (we had our own violinist) was just what we needed, and mics didn't have any quality issues. Highly recommend their services!

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.

Stop what you are doing and book Carmen and Carlos, now!! Our wedding has been hailed "the best…read morewedding I've ever been to" by over six of our friends (not to even make note of the family who left stunned, laughing, speaking nonstop about it). Carmen is incredibly organized, almost shockingly responsive (calls me back within seconds even when it's a small thing) and to say Carlos understood the assignment is an understatement. Our wedding was during the day at Barcelona Wine Bar and EVERYONE WAS DANCING. Their photobooth!! is also beyond amazing and not only does it do gifs, videos, and prints, but you get a digital link to every single image. The care that they took, the intention, and the life and love injected were immeasurable. I would recommend them over and over again.

I usually find myself at events whispering to the person next to me about little things I see that aren't perfect or that I would have done differently. I recently found myself at an event produced by Regina and the Rise Events team at Ohana School of Dance for Ashley Kohl. I stood back and watched... ready to comment. I was surprised to be a bit in awe because I find it hard to have my expectations met when it comes to event production, but there she was "a mini-me" (which I hope she takes as a compliment). That event wasn't a fluke because she was involved in the Chris Thibault Carwash at Mercedes-Benz and I have to say... she is a true event guru. Regina has become a trusted confidant and someone I feel more than capable to recommend to clients I have previously worked with who are in need of event assistance. Regina is truly outstanding. Her passion for events and attention to detail are amazing. She is creative, has out-of-the box ideas, has an impeccable eye for the little things that many other event planners miss, is a tremendous décor creator and SO much more.

Brian helped us out super last minute after we fired our photographer a week before our wedding!…read moreBrian jumped right in, traveled the distance, and took amazing photos. Brian was flexible, willing to listen and shoot any ideas that were given to him. Brian worked well with our videographer, and provided us with some sample photos and a USB drive in a very nice little box, great presentation! It did not take long at all to get this box and subsequently the digital access to all of our pictures! We would recommend Brian again and again!

I bought a family photo shoot from my wife as a birthday present. It was a last minute birthday…read moregift as I did not know what to get her. I found his website from a google search and I am glad I did. It was easy to pay for a session on-line. Then I printed a copy of his homepage and put it in a birthday card. The next day I got a call from Brian saying he had received payment for a family session. He then asked me what I was looking for. We decided on going to Look Park for the shoot as we like the outdoors; we got married there too so it was fitting. We made an appointment to meet at the park at noon. My family and I arrived at the garden house parking lot at 11:50. Brian drove into the lot at 11:52; he had already driven around the park to scope out some places that would make for good pictures. He was very punctual. We brought a few of our son's favorite stuffed toys and a blanket. Brian opened his trunk and surprised us with a set of balloons and a cute wooden chair for him to sit it. That was cool. We made the plan of parking by the visitors center and we would walk the loop of the park and take pictures as we go. You can see our photos on his website (http://proofs.halechannel.com/shade) Brian is very laid back and go with the flow kind of guy. We experienced no stress and no pressure with the photo shoot. We did not want a lot of posed pictures; we wanted more casual and laid back ones. Brian was very good at giving us that little bit of direction that made the photos look so much better. He listened to what we wanted and he helped us get exactly what we wanted. He seemed very knowledgeable about photography. I don't know much about photography, but he would explain to us the different lighting of the sun and knew what scenes made the best pictures. Brian was fun to work with, easy to communicate with (email, over the phone and in person) and he knew what he was doing. We really love his website. All the photos are available for everyone to see and you can buy all sorts of things with the pictures on them (prints of all sizes, coffee mugs, cards, shirts, stamps etc.) I highly recommend Brian for your photo needs.

At the wedding while taking photos he honestly took very basic photos. Typical stand in a line and take the photo. He didn't really direct the people during photos, who and what and where to stand for photos. MOST of this photos anyone with DSLR camera experience could hire anyone to do. Photos were not creative, very basic, and while taking photos he was not very nice. I do not recall ever during the times meeting with him us having a bad experience so not sure why or what wasn't working.
