If I could give more than 5 stars, they would deserve it. Working with them was an absolute pleasure! The attention to detail from each of them, personable interactions at all time, and enthusiasm they each brought to the day was everything and more! From the time they arrived to the time they left, they were nothing short of prompt, organized, effective, humorous, engaging, and downright awesome! Loved getting to work with them and would recommend time and time again!

Kept the Party Rockin
Matt and Rachel were amazing. They were super responsive and made this process run so smoothly. Matt put up with all of my crazy questions and answered them quickly and efficiently. Rachel made getting our pictures taken fun and made me feel even more beautiful. We’ve had nothing but amazing compliments about both from our guests. 10/10 recommend!

Simply Amazing!
Matt and the rest of Beats and Focus were just amazing. They were the only vendor I wasn’t worried about. Everything ran smoothly and he played great music. He really took the time to listen to our likes and dislikes and made sure our night was extra special.

Thank you so much Lauren! It was a pleasure working with you! Thank you so much for having me DJ your wedding. All the best to you both in the future!

Great service, great people!
Rachel and Star were two of the most friendly and personable people! My husband and I were so lucky to have them assigned to document our wedding day. While the men did not like being posed (lol), Rachel did a wonderful job of making sure they stayed in line so we would have some really nice pictures. Star took the time and put together such a wonderful videos of our ceremony and really highlighted the whole day. They got along so well with the rest of our vendors, and were fantastic with communication leading up to and After the wedding. I could not recommend them more for photography and videography. We did not use the Dj service, but knowing how their customer service skills are, I imagine that that would be just as great! Thank you both so so much for everything!

Captured our magical night perfectly
We hired Beats and Focus to be our videography and DJ teams. Our guests absolutely loved the DJ and he really worked with us to get the exact songs/vibes we wanted. He even allowed us to give him links to obscure versions of music that we wanted. Star was our videographer and he was so sweet and professional. He really helped us feel at ease during the process and nailed the whimsical vibe that we wanted. Cannot thank B&F enough and would absolutely recommend their services to anyone in need of visual/audio.
Beats and Focus's reply:
Thank you Morgan and Bobby, for having us! It was such a beautiful day and you guys were so much fun. We appreciate this review so much! All the best to you both in the future. :-)

Excellent videography and ceremony livestream package
Matt was such a pleasure to work with. We are so grateful we found Beats and Focus to handle videography throughout the entire day as well as live-streaming and the sound package for the ceremony. Their price came in way below anyone else's quote, and Matt went above and beyond all the way through. From being extremely flexible with us to create a custom package, to being there extra early on the big day, I cannot recommend them highly enough. His team made such an amazing video, and he even stayed well beyond the time slot we had initially agreed on to capture everything we wanted. We're so glad we chose them. Give them call, you won't be disappointed!
Beats and Focus's reply:
Jason, it was an honor to hang out with you and Makenzie! Thank you so much for allowing us the chance to celebrate with you both. We hope you enjoy your videos for years to come! Thanks for this awesome review as well. We are grateful you found us too. :-) Cheers!

Excellent Wedding Photography
Beats and Focus is very skilled, professional, and punctual to boot. We hired them to shoot our outdoor wedding, and the results were perfect. There are so many good photos that we don't know which to print and frame! Rachel has a great eye for detail, as well. We would recommend Beats and Focus to anyone in the Lancaster area!

Personal, Professional, Flexible, Hospitable...Will use again for other events!
From day 1, we were impressed with Beats and Focus. They went out of their way to accommodate our requests. Specifically, the team agreed to join our rehearsal to get additional video and pictures for us to document that special time. Team members met with us more than once prior to the event and communicated regularly to ensure we were getting the experience we wanted. We were completely satisfied with the quality and quantity of video and photography we received based on what we paid. Matt and his team are a group of down-to-earth people who demonstrate professionalism and a genuine desire to give you your best day. We will be using them for events in the future....if they'll have us!
Beats and Focus's reply:
Kayla and Gideon, it was an honor to be a part of your special day and meet your family and friends! Thank you for such a nice review! We wish you the best and a future full of happiness!

The perfect photographer and videographer for us!
My husband and I are not exactly “picture people”. We take one picture when we go somewhere, and that’s all we need. We don’t need 100 pictures from all different angles. Rachel really respected that. She listened to everything we wanted and never pushed her own agenda. Our posed bridal party pictures came out amazing, but most of our photos were action shots or candid photos, and those are my favorites! She got the pictures back to us real fast and we had so much fun going through them all. She always replied to my emails right away, her prices were amazing, and she even gave a military discount. We also booked a videographer, Star, through them. He was great, too! He listened to what we wanted, and was more than willing to make a few edits to our finished highlight real. They were perfect for us!

Excellent Wedding Service
We hired Beats and Focus for our engagement photos, wedding photos, ceremony and reception music. We loved our engagement photos and were very happy with the process of getting to know Matt and Rachel and their guidance with our planning. Matt was especially helpful with helping us to navigate and make changes after the Covid pandemic hit. He suggested live streaming the ceremony, which we did not even know was an option. This was such a great opportunity, and we are so thankful that Matt was able to coordinate everything for us. Rachel's photos arrived so quickly, and are very high quality. We were thrilled with all of the services that we received and felt that they went above any beyond to make our wedding the perfect experience. We highly recommend the entire team!
Beats and Focus's reply:
Thank you so much for such a nice review! We are so excited for you two and honored to have been a part of your beautiful day. Best wishes, Jacquelyn and James!
