I have worked a number events with Matt from Simple Change Productions and his energy is always on level 10. He engages with the crowd on the microphone and on the dance floor. His past dance experience shows when he’s out on the floor teaching line dance and hyping up the kids. Will definitely continue to hire Matt and his team for our future events.

When it comes to weddings, there's only one chance to get it right! It's why I care so much about each wedding and that I treat each one as if it were my own! THAT is the kind of passion I give each and every one of my couples to not only ensure the vision for their day comes to reality but that their ONLY 'responsibility' on their wedding day is to celebrate with their family and friends! Quite frankly, I LOVE weddings and I consider it an honor to be part of their day & assisting them in creating lifelong memories (not to mention the amount of trust that my couples place upon me).

Jack did an AMAZING job at our wedding. He is professional and incredibly helpful. His vast knowledge of the music industry and his outgoing personality was exactly what we were looking for. Jack listened to what we wanted and came up with an incredible playlist for the evening. His charisma and passion for what he does is so undoubtedly noticeable. We had so many compliments from guest about Jack; I would recommend him to everyone. There is nobody better! He also DJ my sister's wedding several years ago. Just as great now as he was then!

Felix & Fingers was the best addition to my wedding! We had a BLAST. It’s the best mix between a live band and sing along karaoke (but you don’t want your uncle to get the mic, you know?). They did beautiful ceremony music, incredible sax jazz during cocktail hour to keep it classy. Then, they kept everyone engaged and entertained for the reception, from my aunt in a walker to my college friends twerking. We danced the night away but lost our voices from screaming along with the songs too. 10/10 you can’t go wrong with dueling pianos - DJs and wedding bands are out, Felix & Fingers is IN!

This business was thought of after years of being a club DJ, and Jen, the behind the scenes part of the business, begged Tyler, the talent, to try out the wedding scene. We exploded, and we’ve been fully invested in the wedding business ever since!

I first want to start off by saying thank you to White Wedding DJ Services, you guys were beyond fantastic and we are so grateful to have had you there on our special day. White Wedding DJ Services is very affordable and worth every penny you spend; from the level of communication to the level of excitement they provide, you won't find a better team. From the moment we started working with Jen and Tyler, everything was smooth sailing. I had messaged Jen countless times, at the worst hours possible and she was always there with a speedy response, never giving me time to overthink or stress out about her getting back to us regarding details. Tyler was fantastic and really knew how to keep the party going, he also had amazing communication skills on the day of. The playlist was curated based on a meeting with Jen several weeks before the wedding, and allow me to say, they definitely came in strong with the vibe we wanted. I cannot stress how much I appreciate that they kept to what we asked for, and stuck to their word that they would only play requested songs if they knew we approved of the song. They were ready with any song that had been requested and made announcements when necessary! When you book with White Wedding DJ Services, you aren't just booking a DJ, you're booking friends. Even though Jen is usually more of the behind-the-scenes-planner type, and doesn't usually partake in the day of shenanigans, she made an exception and joined us for our wedding. She helped bustle my dress before the reception and she stood in my bar line to make sure I had a glass of wine as soon as possible after the ceremony! She's an advocate for the bride and groom refuses to let anyone rain on their special day! Tyler was extremely accommodating and so easy to talk to! He was very punctual, making sure to arrive early enough to get a lay of the land and to give himself time to make any adjustments that may have needed to be made before setting up. Guests will love their interactions; at one point during our reception, our ring bearer wanted to request a song, Tyler came around to the front of the DJ booth, got down on his level and spoke to him in such a kind way and played his requested song! I promise, you won't regret booking with White Wedding DJ Services. Thank you again for everything and for helping shape our perfect fairytale

Working with Emily and Arch City Lights as a whole was truly a breeze. They allowed you to customize your experience with them as much as you need. Emily does a great job at keeping the timeline for planning etc. and initiating communication along the way. We had Arch City Lights set up sound for our Ceremony for which they did not play. Everything sounded great, was a very modern and minimal setup (they use computers for mixing etc. so it is not overly bulky). The quality was incredible and there were no squeals or sound problems. They were able to set this up very quickly and efficiently and the staff were calm, very friendly, and followed all venue rules etc. - only asking questions when extremely necessary. We also had Arch City Lights perform as a Jazz Trio for our Cocktail Hour. This was while the wedding party was taking photos, so I am very happy that we got a video. They were very engaging, extremely talented, and you could tell they had a great time playing. It really set the perfect mood for the cocktail hour. Emily was the Emcee for the entire wedding. Her "stage presence", calmness, and ability to roll with the punches made her the perfect candidate for this job and she worked hard to make sure she pronounced every name perfectly (which she did - even Metivier (haha)). She has a great voice and really added the narrator and vibe that we needed. She followed all cues and social prompts on her own and really took charge of the whole process - making everything go very smoothly and perfectly accompanying all of the wedding pieces with pre-chosen music that we determined together. They DJ all of the songs you want and make it very simple. Lastly, Arch City lights played us into the night and was truly the life of the party. They adapted their original schedule from 3 sets with 2 breaks to 2 longer sets with less breaks (I am assuming to keep the party going - thanks), and this show will be talked about for years to come. Every single attendee made sure to comment on Emily and the others' "pipes," and skills on their corresponding instruments. They did an amazing job playing songs that we asked for and keeping the party rocking. They had a full band with Horns etc. and everything about them was perfect and professional. If I had some constructive criticism to give, I really would, but Emily and Arch City Lights went above and beyond in so many ways to make this an unforgettable night. I would not have changed a thing.

I grew up on the family farm listening to music and decided this is an awesome way to enjoy music and provide joy to others through my love of great tunes. I provide my services to all event types specializing in weddings. I only book for myself so that all information will stay first hand. I love it when I get kudos at the end of the night or follow up events from past clients. I take care of my equipment and do the same with all who I work with. I strive to do the very best for you!

Kevin has done several weddings at our venue and has always done an excellent job. He is personable, professional and reliable. If I have any questions during the planning stages of an event, he gets back to me immediately. His setup is excellent- efficient and attractive. He manages the sound inside the venue and outside for the ceremony seamlessly. He reads the crowd very well and plays the right music at the right time. He is friendly and energetic but never overbearing. Very much a team player. As a venue owner and Day of Event Coordinator, I give him a top rating. He will be there to help your event run smoothly, and to make it fun!
