When searching for a DJ for our wedding, I'll admit, we had some challenging requirements. Chief…read moreamongst which, is that our DJ was fluent in Polish and be familiar with certain cultural wedding traditions, as the bride's family is largely native Polish speakers. DJ Tommy Sands was our guy. When we first met with DJ Tommy, it was clear he was much different from the other DJs we'd met in the past. He had a great sense of timing events surrounding the wedding, and how to make things run smoothly. I'll never forget when he gave us a tip saying that no matter how much he encouraged people to dance, we as the wedding couple needed to lead by example. Boy was he right!! Whenever we danced, the floors filled, and it was hilarious to observe the effect. Throughout the night, DJ Tommy would show to be our guiding light. When times were a bit off from the schedule, he made thoughtful and insightful suggestions on how to shift things around and keep things running smoothly. His calm and positive attitude helped *us* remain calm and positive. He even managed to help us avoid the bride's mother who was being particularly difficult at times!

Let me start by saying that Marx Entertainment provided both DJ services and Photo Booth services…read morefor our wedding. We were very unhappy with the DJ but happy with the Photo Booth set up and staff. My husband and I had DJ Craig for our wedding in September 2023. We had two meetings with him beforehand were we discussed how we would like the night to run. In addition to a list of "must-play" songs (something we were encouraged to complete), we discussed how we would like our table-dash, anniversary dance, alumni photo, and private dance to operate. We also noted on multiple occasions during both calls that we DID NOT want a lot of remixes. Unfortunately, we were disappointed with how DJ Craig managed all of these aspects except for the table dash and private dance. Here is where our issues lie: - Out of our 30 or so must play songs maybe half were played. - As laid out on the Marx Entertainment website we chose a "last song" for the dance floor. DJ Craig played the song we designated as our last song as a way to open the dance floor. - The first 30 minutes were exclusively remixes and bad ones at that. It got to the point where we said something to DJ Craig, and while the music did get better, he still continued to play remixes. Honestly, a Spotify playlist would have been better. - The anniversary dance was something DJ Craig suggested and we loved the idea. However, instead of doing what he had described to us where he starts calling people off the dance floor after some dancing and starting with short time increments, DJ Craig called for anyone married for less than 5 years to leave the dance floor after approximately 20 seconds. People hadn't even REACHED the dance floor to start dancing at that point, including the parents of the groom. Not to mention we are a young couple and that kicked more than half of the people off the dance floor in one sweep. - College alumni photo was announced at a very weird time and very rushed. Just felt awkward - We were immediately asked once the lights turned on to provide a positive video review for DJ Craig. This was extremely uncomfortable and we gave dishonest feedback during it. We would NOT recommend him. Like I said previously, the Photo Booth staff was excellent and we loved the book they made us. We also had no issues with booking or prior communication with Marx. While the set up and logistical execution of the event went well we didn't feel our opinions were considered at all in song selection and that the fun mini-events we had throughout the night went poorly

She coordinated everything from the venue which included guest rooms for our out of town friends and family. The food, which was delicious, down to the music and party favors.

I was able to relax and enjoy myself along with my husband and guests.Since then I have referred others and they have been more than satisfied with their events as well.

I tried Franklin Caterers due to yelp reviews and from word of mouth from a friend of a friend. I…read moreput together a large (150-200 people) holiday party at work every year, and this year was the best because of Franklin Caterers. The staff was punctual, kind, smiley, helpful, and just all around great. The food was delicious and we had more than enough, especially on the dessert end (which always has fallen short with other caterers in the past). The caterers were kind enough to offer to wrap plates to go for anyone/everyone who wanted, which was just a really great extra detail that helped so much. So many guest complimented the food and asked where it came from, ALWAYS a good sign. Email and phone correspondence were always fast and detailed throughout the planning process. I originally was over budget and Joan was super helpful in re-drafting the menu. I look forward to working with Franklin Caterers for future events.

It is a pleasure to leave a review for this wonderful group of people. I have had the opportunity…read moreto have this catering company for a "celebration of life" event this past Saturday. Joan made this process so incredibly easy, she was so friendly and has such great attention to details. Mike was actually at the event along with his employees. He was incredible! Had everything under control and is kind and friendly. Now if this couple isn't the dynamic duo I don't know who is! The food was delicious! lovingly prepared and served with a smile. Do not hesitate to call this caterer! They are delightful and my guests were impressed as well. Thank you Mike and Joan so very much! Bernadette Antonellis Sanders

I came across Wendy via my (now) wife and man am I glad that I did and I will be singing her…read morepraises to all of my engaged friends and family. In an industry that overcharges, up-sells and under-delivers Wendy is truly invaluable in the preparation and execution of a wedding. From the beginning, Wendy went out of her way to share her expertise, know-how and clarity of mind to ensure that my wedding went off without a hitch. On the day of the wedding not only did she go into her emergency bag for scarves and stain remover but she also coordinated all of the vendors, family and wedding parties. I can honestly say that she was an amazing addition to my wedding. I cannot recommend Wendy more highly and am so happy that she was able to be part of my wedding.

Wendy for It's Your Day did an outstanding job coordinating my wedding 1 month ago! She really took…read moreover EVERY detail so that I could relax and fully enjoy the day. I had planned almost every detail of the wedding and knew exactly how I envisioned my big day but the problem was I could not oversee the coordination of all the vendors/individuals in the execution of my plans. However, Wendy seemed to take over flawlessly and made sure everything happened EXACTLY as I had hoped. My fiance and I were beyond thankful for her because she really enabled us to enjoy every moment of our big day!! When tiny things went wrong (and of course something will go wrong!) - Wendy always had a creative solution and did her absolute best to take care of it as quickly and quietly as possible. I was especially thankful for Wendy because I my niece (the flowergirl) had an issue come up and was unable to make it to the wedding ceremony with her dad so we were unable to get a complete family photo right after the ceremony. Very near the end of the reception, my niece and her dad finally came and Wendy orchestrated getting EVERYONE together for several complete family photos! We were SOOOOOooo thankful!! Anyway, I highly recommend Wendy and know you will not regret it =)
