Davis Wedding- April 2024

Our wedding was literally perfect thanks to Beats and Focus! We worked with Matt, Rachel, and Lee for DJ and photography/videography services. The amount of time they put into all of our requests was so appreciated. Our phone call with DJ Matt is what truly sold us on booking them for our special day. Both Matt and Rachel were prompt with email responses and accepted every request we had for music and photos. Their professionalism and kindness made the process so smooth and easy! We had no concerns the day of and received so many compliments from our guests about them. We would 1000% recommend booking them for a wedding or any event requiring a DJ and/or photography. We cannot thank them enough for all that they did to make sure we felt like the most important couple. We are dying to see the final product of our day. Thank you Beats and Focus for completing our wedding!!!

Highly Recommend!

Highly recommend Beats and Focus! They were super communicative and asked all the questions I hadn’t even thought about. They made sure all of our wedding guests were up and dancing and the music played was what we wanted! They were very professional and I would absolutely choose them again.

Hi! I’m Rachel, photographer/runner of things @ Beats and Focus. Why do I love weddings? I love watching happy people celebrate! I love meeting new people and laughing with Aunt Linda and cousin Bob. I also love the challenge of effectively telling a story using the best lighting and composition possible. And then knowing you will emotionally connect with those images for life and tell the story of your love, is the coolest thing to me. Thank you for considering us for your wedding!

Hello! DJ Matt, here. Thank you for considering us for your wedding day! When it comes to DJ, I've found a love for people, a deep knowledge of music, a mastery of equipment, and a passion for romance are what really make your wedding day rock. We'd be honored to be part of your epic celebration. All the best to you and your loved ones!
