Total Package Highly Recommend

We used Beats and Focus for all of the services they offer - Photography, Videography, and DJ. The value received tremendous value capitalizing on all three services, and not just monetarily. The communication was effortless, and our communications covered all three services saving tons of time in the planning process. They were extremely professional during all meetings and executing our wedding. Our finished products were phenomenal and left us and others that viewed in a state of amazement. I would highly recommend using Beats and Focus for phenomenal services, ease of planning, and financial value.

Perfect Choice for DJ and Photography

After our first meeting with Matt and Rachel we instantly knew we had to book them, and it was one of the best decisions we made wedding planning. They were so easy to work with, listened to and respected all of our ideas and requests, and truly delivered an unforgettable experience. The package duo was truly worth the price alone with the convenience. Matt had a rocking playlist, awesome lights, quality sounding speakers and an awesome fog machine. He knows how to rock it! Rachel took the most outstanding photos, we cannot stop looking at them. They also sold us on the Photo Booth at the last second and that was also another amenity they have available. We truly couldn’t be happier to have book Beats and Focus.

Perfect Team for our Perfect Day!

We could not have asked for a better team than Rachel (our photographer) and Matt (our DJ)! From start to finish, they were absolutely AMAZING. Their communication was flawless, their personalities lit up the room, and they made the entire day feel seamless. Both were the perfect fit—professional, yet so fun and easy to work with. Rachel captured every special moment beautifully, and Matt kept the dance floor full all night long. If you want vendors who not only get the job done but make the experience a joy, Rachel and Matt are the ones!

Best DJ!!!

We’re so happy we chose Matt from Beats and Focus as our wedding DJ! From the very beginning, he was super helpful and easy to work with. He guided us through the whole planning process by helping us build our playlists, giving great suggestions, and making sure we felt confident about how everything would go. On the day of the wedding, he was incredible!! Matt kept the energy up all day and night, and handled everything so smoothly even when there were last-minute changes to some of our choices. He played all the music right on cue for the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing, and transitioned through three different locations at our venue without any issues at all! Matt totally understood the vibe we were going for and kept the party going while still making sure everything stayed on schedule. He brought all the equipment, was super professional but still fun, and added to our perfect day! He was such a fantastic part of our wedding! Thanks Matt!

Beats & Focus can’t be beat

Rachel from Beats & Focus did the photography for my wedding and reception and she was phenomenal!! She perfectly captured everything I would have wanted to save from the day, the pictures are beautiful, stunning quality, with a reasonable turnaround time. Rachel worked closely with me on all the details and was so accommodating. Thanks to her, I’ll have these memories preserved forever. I cannot recommend Beats & Focus highly enough.

The Best DJ Ever – Matt Made Our Day Unforgettable

If you’re looking for the BEST DJ for your wedding or event, look no further—Beats and Focus - Matt the DJ is everything you could hope for and more. From the very beginning, Matt was professional, attentive, and incredibly easy to work with. He made our wedding day unforgettable in all the right ways.

Our ceremony was absolutely perfect thanks to Matt. He came fully prepared with high-quality speakers, microphones, and flawless timing. Every single song we requested—even the very specific video game tracks my husband had dreamed of walking down the aisle to—was there and sounded amazing. That level of customization is no easy feat, but Matt made it happen effortlessly.

At the reception, the music was on point all night long. He read the crowd beautifully, kept the energy up, and played every song we loved. But what truly blew us away? Matt went above and beyond by capturing special moments and filming a reel for us—knowing we didn’t have a videographer. That meant the world to us. It’s something we’ll treasure forever.

Matt isn’t just a DJ. He’s a professional, a calming presence, and someone who genuinely cares about making your day as special as possible. We can’t thank him enough. Hire Matt the DJ—you’ll be SO glad you did!

Incredible team to work with!

Beats and Focus was the perfect business to hire! Firstly, the fact that they offer a dj, photographer, and videographer, is amazing when you are trying to make so many decisions! They were the perfect photographer, videographer, and dj for our wedding day. Our wedding was small but they made us feel so at ease and comfortable with each of them. Their communication style was thorough, passionate, and detail-oriented, which made the whole process incredibly exciting and I knew they had their piece of the puzzle handled. We had a call with Matt and Rachel before the wedding to go through each detail which was amazing and so helpful! The quality of their work was truly gorgeous - they are clearly experienced professionals who pay close attention to every detail. They took the time to really get to know us and work with us to make sure our vision was brought to life. The video they created was absolutely stunning, capturing the most beautiful parts of our day in a way that brought us to tears. Our pictures were crafted meticulously, ensuring that each detail was perfectly captured and we looked our very best. Rachel spent lots of time with us both at our engagement shoot and wedding day making sure we got the pictures we wanted!! In addition, their DJ Matt was amazing, helping us out with our ceremony and keeping the reception fun and on schedule. We couldn't have asked for a better team to document our special day. Couldn’t recommend them more!!

Beats and Focus Review

We used Beats and Focus for our engagement photos, our wedding photos and for our DJ/music needs at our wedding. Matt and Rachel were welcoming and extremely professional at every step of the way. The photos that we received back from Rachel were unique and included different shots and images then we had envisioned. She captured countless moments that continue to make us smile and we're able to recount and relish all of the memories from our big day through her lens. Matt was a rockstar during our ceremony and especially during our reception. We had an extensive playlist that we wanted to hear during the reception and Matt played just about everything that we requested. We partied hard for many hours and that was in no small part due to Matt’s rhythm and tunes. Beats and Focus certainly enhanced our experience before and after our wedding and they are extremely affordable. We wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for a professional and fun DJ/Photography duo.

We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
