Rented a full Karaoke system for Saturday, June 12th, and it could t had been any better:…read more* Communication (via Email) prior to the event was prompt and very courteous * Equipment was delivered on time, following health protocols, clearly explaining how to use it * Equipment worked great and the event was a blast. People (grown ups and kids) who indicated earlier they were not going to sing enjoyed it the most * During the party, at some point the screen froze. I called Mark who guided me through the process of restarting everything and the party continued. Mark was ready to drive to the place to personally help Overall super satisfied, can't wait to rent the Karaoke System again

People feel it and remember how much fun they had; our friends remember the music in particular from those events, even years later. The dance floor is always full when he's spinning, and he is an encyclopedia, ready for any request. And if you need him to MC on a timeline--with intros, toasts, cake cutting, and special dances for example--he's great at that too. Whenever we host an event where good music is key, we'll call on Ken and crew.

DJ Tony & TCE turned out to be one of the highlights of the party, based on feedback from the…read morepartiers! He worked with us, weeks leading up to the event to understand what makes us dance, what we preferred not to have, and suggested lights, which made it an elevated experience. Tony was flexible when we had to move the dance space from one room to another, and worked quickly, and thoroughly to get things torn down and put back up. If music/DJ is one less thing you want to worry about for a party, TCE is the way to go!

Hired this company to DJ for our wedding, and though their rates were cheaper, we got what we paid…read morefor. Prior to the wedding, we had a very difficult time getting responses in email communications with Mark. Both us and our coordinator would need to send multiple emails over the course of weeks to get a response, and information on timing and coordination would not get through. We also got a call the Tuesday the week of the wedding saying that he had not received any of our forms, but we had submitted them literally months before on his platform that he made. Our biggest complaint is the day of the wedding, every song would play in it's entirety. This was unusual in a dance setting where a 4+ minute song would play all the way through. When we asked about it, we were told they did not have the software to blend songs together, which I assumed to be a core job of a DJ. They essentially put on a playlist that we had built and called it a day. This was further evidenced by finding that more often than not the DJ was away from equipment in other rooms during the dace section. This was highly disappointing. On more minor notes, they also failed to follow some of the playlist instructions that we provided through their own website. This included playing a different song for opening the dance floor, filtering genres of music we had added because of the age group, playing only clean-editted songs through no request of ours, and playing songs we specifically requested to save while the bride and groom were present while we were outside taking photos. They also failed to loop the song the bride was coming out to so there were ~10 seconds of silence when the song should have been playing (which was a pretty big portion of the bridal entrance) We have tried to reach out since the event to address these issues multiple times and have heard nothing back. I would feel comfortable endorsing them for providing sound equipment, but the actual DJ services were lacking.

MC Anthony + DJ / Photo Booth / Lighting = PURE MAGIC…read more When we booked this team for an over the top 8th grade dance party, I said (only half-joking): "I'm looking for ultimate bar-mitzvah-level energy -- the kind that gets every kid dancing, laughing, and begging for just one more song." They didn't just meet that vision -- they blew past it. From the moment the music started, the entire space was transformed. The lighting alone turned a basic banquet room into a full-on club -- festive, electric, and instantly exciting. The photo booth added nonstop silliness and memories, and the kids LOVED it. But the real star of the night was MC Anthony. He is not just an MC -- he's a hype man, a game-show host, a magician, and a kid-whisperer all rolled into one. He had games, contests, call-and-response moments, and the kind of inclusive energy that makes every kid feel comfortable jumping in. Everyone was on the dance floor. Laughing. Moving. Taking risks. Living their best middle-school lives. He somehow managed to: * break the ice instantly * keep energy high for the entire event * make shy kids feel confident * and create a vibe where no one wanted to leave the dance floor If you're looking for a DJ team that doesn't just play music, but creates joy, connection, and unforgettable moments, stop searching. MC Anthony and this team are all that -- and then some. I would book them again in a heartbeat.

I initially interacted and booked with Joel and had the pleasure of working with Roland and his wife Judy on the day of the event, and they did not disappoint! Roland did an amazing job setting the mood and keeping the energy just right throughout the night. The music was great, and I really appreciated how patient he was with guest requests. He followed the timeline perfectly and was always on top of things before I even had to ask, which helped me out so much! Judy was just as wonderful with engaging with our guests and running the photobooth. I appreciated her kindness, friendliness, and her calm presence. She handled the flow of guests with total professionalism, and made sure everyone had a great time. They made a wonderful team, and we're so glad they were part of our event again this year. Highly recommend them -- clearly, we're repeat clients!

Early in our wedding talks he offered his various services which weren't just limited to music/DJ. Although we had not hired him for planning, he still made an effort to help us by helping us with questions we should be asking vendors and our venue which we greatly appreciate! On our wedding day Joel was perfect. We like to throw parties and folks had complimented our musical selection which Joel was instrumental in curating and adding some fun songs for games we did throughout our reception! One big item I want to send Joel and team big props was for our guest and table photos. Our dinner ended up running later than planned and we thought we'd have to scrap our photos at the dinner tables with our guests. Joel had over heard this from our coordinator and maid of honor and immidately walked over to us and ask "do you want your photos?" Yes we said! He sprang into action and came up with a solution on to get our guest hyped and engaged and through a rapid-fire style, quick round of photos! I can't say how much that meant to us when we had come to terms that it might not happen as originally planned. What more can I say? Joel was alongside our coordinate from set up and until packing up. Our sound was amazing, speeches were loud and clear, and the music was bumpin'! Joel check in with us all throughout the night, made sure we had plenty of drinks and food and snacks! I can't how much his care and attention shined through for our special night! Highly recommend for your event needs! Joe's passion for his industry, craft and clients is felt and seen!

Nice sound system. But... submitted a request through the webpage. Got an email response stating…read morethat if I called within 48 hours and booked, would get $100 off. Heck yeah I called. A couple of excuses later, and no $100 discount. O.K. let's move on. Once booked, can create a custom playlist through an online portal. Submitted 5-hours of music for a 3-hour party. Yes, it was particular; class reunion. Nothing released after 1984. DJ didn't get the message. He seemed more interested in syncing beats to fade from one song to another. Maybe played a little more than half from the list? Someone had to ask him about his song selection. The response? "It's from 1989. That's the 80's." Only if you think High School and College are the same thing. Had a pissed off bartender grab me to let me know I needed to make a 'last call,' since she asked the DJ and he didn't. In fact, he didn't say anything for the duration. The biggest sin for last. Special request for last song: Don't You Forget About Me. (Yes, 1985. exception to the rule) But, how you'd want to end a reunion, right? The DJ mixed it with a Beastie Boys track. Love me some Beastie, but wrong time, wrong place. Couldn't read a crowd. Would've saved myself a bunch to rent a speaker and hook it up to Spotify.

He took our playlist and made our wedding celebration a blast, every song had people saying "that's my jam"! I would hire him in a heartbeat again, I have no complaints about Mark. If you do not have a playlist, he has a way to ensure the type of music you would like to have played at your event will happen. If you are looking for someone experienced in a variety of musical categories, kind person, and for a reasonable price - go with Mark. He paid great music that included top 40 and Bollywood at my wedding and it had everyone running to the dance floor.

We're SOO happy we chose Edgar to DJ our wedding!!…read more From the very beginning, he went above and beyond for us. Not only was he an excellent communicator during the planning process, but he even helped us secure a photo booth vendor. Every step of the way, he handled my VERY specific requests with patience, creativity, and zero judgment. On the wedding day, he truly facilitated the entire event from start to finish. He kept everything running smoothly behind the scenes while still bringing such fun, warm energy to every moment. Our ceremony music was flawless, transitions were seamless, and the dancing portion of the night was exactly what I envisioned (dancing is my FAVORITE part of weddings, so this was very important to me!). He absolutely nailed the announcements and kept the vibe consistent and elevated. We received compliments about how fun the dancing portion was, and Edgar played a huge part in that. He read the room perfectly and knew exactly how to keep the energy high without ever feeling forced. It was important for us to have diversity among our vendors, but also to have someone who intuitively understood the music preferences of my Filipino family. At the same time, Edgar's music knowledge spans everything, including the genres I love most, which made the night feel both culturally familiar and uniquely tailored to us. Professional, fun, attentive, and genuinely talented, Edgar helped make our wedding unforgettable and I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for DJ services for ANY event!!! Truly best day of our life
