Black Tie Entertainment was great to work with from our initial call with them through our wedding day. I would give him more than 5 stars if I could. He took the time to listen to us and what we envisioned for our big day and delivered beyond anything we could have expected. His music kept the dance floor filled all night.

When looking for a subtle effect of light to dramatic light effects all within one light system, look no further than our advanced uplighting. Not only can you dramatically affect your entire venue, but you can create different scenes at different times as we control the room's look with a touch of a button.
Your guests will touch the screen and the camera captures a few quick frames (or still photos - their choice), loops them into an animated GIF and immediately displays the result. Guests can then tap "send it to me" to enter their phone number, or "again" to make another. If they enter a phone number, it will send them a text with a link to their giphy.
There are some great wedding planners and coordinators in the area and we still recommend some of them. We found that many have their own DJs they recommend almost exclusively so why couldn't we do the same in reverse? Since we like to communicate directly with our clients to give a more personal touch, adding wedding planning services to our portfolio of professional services allowed us to do just that.

In a large industry, it's hard to find vendors who take as much time getting to know their Clients as they do building relationships with Vendors. Eric is, by far, one of those DJs! His professionalism is above board, and couple that with his musicality, creativity, and music proficiency, he is the perfect fit for your wedding. We highly recommend BTE and Eric!!

My wife and I spent weeks rehearsing a first dance and all we asked of him was to introduce us so we knew when to begin....NOPE. Just starts playing our first dance music with no introduction which threw us off completely. We should have known better, our first meeting with him he spent 90 minutes talking about himself and his acting career and 5 minutes talking to us about what we wanted and took zero notes.

I want to personally shout out Matt Johnson for doing an absolutely phenomenal job at our wedding Oct. 9th 2021. His professionalism, attitude, ability to read the room were second to none. One of the most impressive things about Matt was his ability to recognize when the room was ready to “turn up” and when it was time to slow things down and give everyone a break. He really treated us like we have known each other for years and bent over backwards to make sure we had a great day.

Unfortunately I have to give this business a negative review.
When we contracted the company for my daughter’s wedding we did so because they assured us song requests would be honored. But at the wedding the DJ refused to play popular songs despite asking him multiple times to do so. Given the amount of money we spent I find this totally unprofessional. I would not recommend them and wish we went with another company.

Justin was the DJ for our wedding and he was amazing! He has great energy and kept the crowd alive. Very personable, professional, and organized. He had everything planned out well in advance and took the pressure off of us. We couldn’t have asked for everything to flow smoother than it went. We will definitely use him as a DJ for any other events in the future. 10/10! Thank you, Justin!

Sarah, one of the event coordinators, was absolutely incredible. One of the most hard working individuals I have ever encountered! We used her for our outside (rather large) wedding on June 5th and she did not disappoint. Everyone always says that Brides never have fun because they are so busy thinking about all the details, but that was not my experience at all thanks to Sarah. She took care of everything and made sure the whole event went smoothly and I was able to just enjoy our wedding. Sarah was so thoughtful throughout the entire process and continually checked up on me and offer assistance

To say that Jon Lukehart was amazing to work with would be an understatement. I didn't understand the importance of a DJ/MC until after I worked with John Lukehart from Black Tie Entertainment.
Most people that attended my wedding have said that our DJ/MC (John Lukehart) was awesome/ fun/ impressive. I agree.
John Lukehart helped me plan the timeline for my wedding as well as pick awesome songs for a very personalized and fun ceremony and reception.
The website that Black Tie Entertainment has for planning the wedding and setting up playlists is phenomenal. It's easy to use and helped

Wow. That’s is all I have to say for this company. I recently had my wedding and music was a huge part for us. I wanted to have a great DJ who would play songs not only for us but for the whole crowd. Kent was our DJ and he was outstanding. Whether it was responsiveness, professionalism, or his actual performance at the wedding, he always went above and beyond. Not only does Black Tie provide your entertainment but they assist you in planning your day. The customer portal they have is very user friendly too. Cannot recommend this company enough!

Black Tie Entertainment went above and beyond all our expectations. We worked with DJ John Lukehart and he worked with us every step of the way to create the most amazing wedding timeline and setlist for the event. He was able to find creative ways to incorporate our music tastes and keep the whole multicultural crowd engaged and on the dance floor. He was also really adept at picking up social cues like when my husband ran out of dance moves during our first dance and needed an out. He also embraced our idea for Beatles themed ceremony music and helped bring our vision to life. Additionally we

Black Tie entertainment did an excellent job with our wedding. We had Andrew Nelson as our DJ and he was able to control the flow of the reception quite well. He was able to get a feel for the crowd and got everyone on the dance floor for partying but was also able to slow things down so we could enjoy time with our friends and family around the venue. He also took requests from our guests and smoothly blended them into the music of the evening. Black Tie provided all the tools we needed to plan out the music for the ceremony and reception, which is a big task, but the tools let you easily pick

Matt Johnson from Black Tie did a great job as DJ for our wedding of around 160 people! He worked with us closely to make sure pronunciations of family names were correct which was important to us, and provided us with a custom edit of a song that we wanted to use for our first dance! He also did an excellent job with the sound system and mics for our ceremony and coordinating our reception. Many of our friends also told us they enjoyed the songs he selected and how he kept the dance floor going! We loved that he was flexible during our reception and accommodated guest requests, coordination with

My then-fiancé (now husband) and I went to a wedding expo where we met several DJs, but when we talked to Matt Johnson from Black Tie, we knew he was the one we wanted. As my husband and I quickly learned, a DJ doesn't only just play songs during the dance portion of the celebration, he is there the entire event and he sets the tone for every segment of the evening. With his years of experience in the entertainment industry and his confidence, we trusted Matt with the most special day of our lives. He guided us through the planning process by giving us awesome song recommendations and

We had a great experience with Black Tie Entertainment! The entire planning process was a breeze and was made so easy through their online portal.
Our DJ, John Lukehart, was so professional and creative! We did have a few songs on our "must play" list but gave him the freedom to play music that he thought fit our crowd. Pretty sure the dance floor was full majority of the night and my family and friends all complimented the music selection and energy John had.
Would 100% recommend Black Tie Entertainment and John to anyone looking for a DJ!

We really liked that Black Tie Entertainment has a Met the DJ night so you can see not only what their flow is like but have a chance to talk to all the DJs and see which one is the best fit. We chose DJ Chase and were so amazed at what a wonderful job he did - our dance floor was full all night long. We had such a great time and everything went so smoothly, Chase was able to work hand in hand with our venue.. We definitely recommend.

Black Tie Entertainment is the creme de la creme! They provided DJ and uplighting services for my persian wedding and Matt Johnson was our DJ. He was uber-professional, a joy to work with and an all-around great guy! We met with him and spoke with him numerous times.I wasn't familiar with Persian music so I looked to him to bring it and he sure did! He had great, international music and was wonderful at MCing and keeping us on schedule and on track. Black Tie also has this great client portal where you can enter your timelines, music requests and other information. Highly recommend!

Very impressed with Black Tie Entertainment - the impressed us at the wedding expo, and then we attended a 'meet the DJs' night where we saw how they kept the event running smoothly and had each DJ do one section so you could see them work, and then you had time to wander around and meet them all and see who you worked well with. We picked DJ Chase and so pleased with our decision. The online forms helped gather our thoughts and the two skype meetings left us knowing that things would be great. But who would have tough that a wedding of some middle age folks would have a packed dance

We came across Black Tie Entertainment when we were attending a wedding expo and was immediately drawn by their professionalism. They worked with us to fit services within our budget and we ended up using their DJ, Bose sound system, and Uplighting services. We liked the ease of their online system and creating a playlist of our favorite songs. We were assigned Eddy Bobby as our DJ and worked with him to create a memorable and seamless night for us. Eddy did a great job and was professional throughout the reception! The uplighting definitely helped enhance our gorgeous venue.

Most of the DJs are fine, except a few. Had a terrible experience with one DJ in particular. The guy continued to sound very eager and interested in our tastes in music during our conversation, and even sent a specific date and time to meet up closer to the wedding. We confirmed the time, but later came to find out through the owner that the DJ would not be a best fit for us. Found out his expertise in the type of music we liked was never his specialty, but he had us thoroughly convinced that he was the best man for the job when compared to the other DJs within black tie, and knew exactly what

Blacktie Entertainment provided the BEST entertainment experience for our February 27 2016 wedding. This business was a pleasure to work with and the team behind it was absolutely phenomenal.
We were assigned Eddy Bobby as our DJ and spent the past couple of months working with him to organize the entertainment aspect of our event. Since our dinner reception was black-tie optional, Eddy came in prepared and looking very sharp in his tux -- we were very appreciative of his attention to detail.
Eddy did an extraordinary job at organizing our play list and even went to great lengths to find over

I contracted with Black tie for my wedding in November 2014 and was excited because of all the great reviews and the experience that Dave, the owner, said all his DJs have. We contracted for lights, photobooth, and dj services (with a dj assistant and extra assistant to run a guest book at the photobooth). I have to start by saying that Matt, our DJ, had a great fun non-cheesy manner at the microphone and the music flowed beautifully. We gave Matt a lot of guidance about what kinds of music we wanted and he did a great job sticking to that style. We also had an entrance with musicians and dancers

Black Tie DJs was recommended to me by multiple friends, so after interviewing a few DJs, I contacted Black Tie to research further.
I was SO very impressed by the professionalism of Black Tie DJs. I loved that got to have an initial meeting with the company and they paired us with the DJ they thought would best fit with what we were looking for.
Our DJ, Brad, was proactive in calling me multiple times throughout the year leading up to the wedding, and he made himself very available to help with the planning whenever we needed it. He was almost like a private wedding consultant! I had no idea
