Serves Chatham, IL for additional fees

At Carter Events and Entertainment we understand that your wedding is very special. It is a moment in time that cannot be redone, and a day that your friends and family will talk about for years to come. Bringing your dreams to life is our passion!

“I had the pleasure of meeting Steven Carter at a wedding exbo in Madison. He was dressed in all orange and had a huge smile on his face! I knew I was in the moment I saw him! From then on, Steven had a few meetings with us to organize, plan, and to just listen to us vent. Steven became more than just a dj doing a job, he became a friend who cared. And this carried over to not just us but to all of our guests as well. Steven helped release tables during dinner, he kept conversation flowing with guests, and he wasn't caught without a smile on his face. He joined many dances and kept the night entertaining and purely enjoyable. He brought so much positive energy and fun to the evening! He also kept the bride and groom in his top priority. He was able to grab us both and pull us away from the hundreds of conversations so we could catch a moment together and get some beautiful sunset pictures! And during all of this, his wonderful wife kept the photo booth going and placed a copy of everything in a book for us to keep and take home. Carter Entertainment offers the full package and more! I am beyond lucky to have found this wonderful crew!”

Clife DJ Company

5.0

Cedar Rapids, IA

DJ
Starts at $3,000
Serves Chatham, IL for additional fees

Hi there! We’re CLIFE DJ COMPANY. We specialize in Modern and Boujee Entertainment Experience! We are an Iowa-based DJ company providing you with Talented DJs, Modern Lighting Production, Sleek Digital Photo-Booths, and Epic Enhancements that will take your event from memorable to UNFORGETTABLE!

“We used for DJ Clife for our wedding 09/2023 and couldn't be happier! When looking for wedding DJs it can be tough to know what you're getting for your money. At first I was cautious as he is on the higher end of price ranges but noticed the higher ratings to match. I would say without a doubt DJ Clife Company was a perfect choice for us! We had several zoom meetings to discuss the vibe and creative view of our day and then focusing more on logistics and specifics for the night. Our wedding had some specific scheduling needs including a 15 minute dance session at the beginning of the reception, 2 dance numbers, choregraphed formal dances and other surprises. Clife Estores delivered on every detail that was needed from the beginning of the day until the end. Using the "Vibo" app helped us drop in songs and add information for our schedule to keep our conversations focused on what was needed - we enjoyed this process. Leading up to the wedding he was quick to respond to e-mails/texts with last minute questions or changed plans. My main concern was finding a DJ who truly mixed the music like you would hear in a club/party atmosphere with the best 2-3 minutes of the song played and rolling right into the next song. I asked for a constant variety of music genres so it didn't fall into that typical wedding format. Clife delivered some of the best music mixes I've ever heard! All of my guests commented on how great the music was and everyone from people who love to dance to those just watching all said how they really felt the party vibe. A couple commented that they planned to leave when the music slowed down and it never did so they stayed all night! He truly set the atmosphere in a positive direction and we had the best night of our lives! If you are unsure of the cost I can assure you he is worth the expense and truly created a great atmosphere for everyone! A few add-ons we used with DJ Clife: Room Uplighting, 4 moving spotlights and 2 sparklers - all enhanced the night! For anyone who has a lot of dancers in their guest list I would suggest looking into the LED dance floor with "Unique Events" in Cedar Rapids, IA. Pricey, but the DJ and dance floor were the most talked about from our guests.”
