Our church group was so happy in 2022 with 1st Dance Entertainment, with DJ Bruce Wayne and DJ Todd…read morethat we hired them again for a bigger event this May 2024. Their communication is excellent, prices are extremely reasonable, they're punctual and gave me zero headaches when I had so much else going on. I can't tell you how important that is, that they do their job and don't need me micromanaging. They also can sense the crowd and the music that we liked, DJ Todd took requests, he worked so very hard prior to the event to plan his approach, that was clearly evident. Thank you, gentlemen, you are the best at what you do.

I rented the cold spark boxes from him and he was the most affordable in the Frederick & surrounding area for both the DJ services and cold spark boxes. Communication was also spot on as we booked him 1 year out and had no issues with communication at all. He was quick to respond and asked questions if he had them. Thank you Bruce!!

We booked Clearly the Best Photo Booths for our May 30, 2015 wedding. We were attracted to this…read morecompany after seeing them at a Bridal Expo because they allowed you to give a copy of the photo to each guest and they seemed reasonably priced. Our venue informed us later (after explaining why the A/C wasn't working) that the photo booth had set up where they were not supposed to and blew a fuse that took a few hours to get maintenance to fix (it was a historic venue). That wasn't the end of the world even though the venue was attributing that to the photo booth, i realized that circuits blow. The main issue I had with their service is they allow you to pick out your background for the booth and what you want printed on the bottom of your pictures. We never had time to visit the booth during the wedding ourselves. We paid extra to get a copy of all of the pictures the guests took on a flash drive. Issue 1: Imagine my surprise when we returned from our honeymoon to see that they had used tacky black and orange patterned jungle print as the background for the photos (we were at the zoo so it really was over the top) instead of the silver/white we selected. The representative told me afterwards that the one we selected was on the back of the tacky print and they just used the wrong side. Issue 2: The first few guests that took photos in the booth printed out with "NHMS 8th grade dance 5.29.15" on the bottom. I understand all people make mistakes, but it is our wedding and it is pretty unprofessional to have our guests' favors printing out saying they are at an 8th grade dance. Issue 3: Customer service. The worst part of the service was the customer service. After discovering the picture mishaps I reached out to the owner who told me he would investigate and get back to me. I requested a partial refund for their errors. He then dodged my emails for over a month, finally replying on July 18 that their servers crashed and that is why he didn't follow up with me. They did not offer any refund for the services that they screwed up as a gesture of good faith. I wouldn't recommend them because they seem to be sloppy in making sure they are setting up the details you selected for your wedding. I am not a very picky bride, I just wanted them to acknowledge that of the 3 things we were allowed to "customize" they messed up two of them (We paid extra for the outer covering of the photo booth to not be black and they did that right).

Where to begin? Ok Amy and her exceptional team were the BEST DECISION my now husband and I made!…read moreOur journey began meeting Amy at an LGBT+ Wedding Expo because neither one of us have been to a gay wedding or knew anything about weddings, especially non-traditional weddings. Amy was so sweet, kind, and professional and reassuring with all of my questions. I interviewed 5 different wedding planners and chose Amy when I noticed the price was right and she offered so much help and assistance with everything a newlywed would need help with. Let me tell you, she lied about nothing to this date! Leading up to the wedding, 7 months until the big day, our all-inclusive venue went out of business abruptly! We had to start from the BEGINNING! I'll never forget calling Amy panicking and feeling lost, angry, sad, mad, confused, defeated, etc. She immediately reassured me that everything would work out and she'd help us with everything. We had only a partial package with her and we were asking for services from a full package, and she reminded me that this was an emergency that we did not ask for. Amy and Abby sent over recommendations for venues, caterers, DJ's, Cake, Photographers, Videographers, etc. and March 2026 I was one busy guy but I ran contracts through Amy and her team and they reviewed each one and gave the best advice possible without saying "You need to go with them" or just giving one option. Overall, almost everyone we went with was an option from Amy and her team based off what we wanted. Wedding Day! The fun part, our wedding was PERFECT! When I say we were not allowed to be on our phones and not a single worry in the world occurred, nothing bad was allowed to reach us at all. We had a point of contact (someone from our wedding party) to answer all questions and check on us at the hotel during hair and make-up. Amy and her team (Mandy and Emma) made the flow of our wedding work perfectly! Our officiant missed our vows section and Amy strategically was able to help fit our vows into the reception which seemed to have worked even better. Amy and her team truly were there for us every second of the wedding and most importantly gave us a second to breathe after the ceremony. Long story short, EVERYONE should have a wedding planner, but not just a wedding planner, Amy Frances wedding planning! Our day could not have been as perfect as it was without her. She has become our friend at this point. She is organized, she is a problem solver, she is understanding, she is everything when it comes to celebrating love! Besides my husband and I finding each other, we are so thankful we found Amy for our wedding!

She helped us navigate all the questions of planning a wedding, and was always ready to jump in for us. She was flexible with our rehearsal too, as we weren't able to have it at the venue due to scheduling reasons, but she was happy to have it elsewhere and work with us. She was very communicative and easy to talk to, and quick to answer all the last minute questions and soothe the final anxieties as we got closer to the day (and there were many, as the forecast was looking quite stormy in the final week--thankfully the rain held off!). She kept us as calm as possible. On the actual day, she was worth her weight in gold, helping to manage everything and make sure it ran as smoothly as it could. We had a small issue with our shuttle vendor, which I didn't know about until it was handled and dealt with, all thanks to Amy. She made sure we knew what we needed to, and that we weren't bothered by the details we didn't need to know. I can whole heartedly recommend Amy for anyone planning a wedding!

They are, hands down, the top wedding and special events videography company working in the Baltimore/Washington/Virginia area, and their work speaks for itself. I can't say enough good things about this organization. Their staff is professional, unobtrusive and knows how and what to capture in terms of highlights of that special day. We were incredibly pleased with Jim's work. His prices are competitive and more than fair, especially considering the finished product. (Jim himself has a background in the Fine Arts, and has carefully passed that knowledge and experience to his staff.) Again, we were and continue to be absolutely thrilled with Black Tie Video, their sense of professionalism, respect and diligence in presenting their clients with an amazing finished product!

There was always an open line of communication and they responded quickly to any questions I had. They arrived early to the venue to set up and already had all of the bar supplies needed (meaning I didn't need to purchase these). Both are great bartenders with friendly, outgoing personalities. I had a lot of guests comment on how nice it was to have professional bartenders at the party vs just having coolers of beer and everyone trying to figure out how to make a mixed drink themselves. They took the party to the next level and I'm so thankful for their help. You won't be disappointed if you use them!
