About

We are a Syracuse based DJ company serving Utica, Geneva, Auburn, Skaneateles, Fingerlakes, Ithaca, Binghamton and Alexandria Bay. We also offer photo booths, uplighting, custom monograms/name in lights, and videography services.

OUR PHILOSOPHY
We believe music is central to your guests' experience. We try to make the most of your event's every moment without overshadowing what is really important - the purpose of the party - whether it's your wedding day, holiday party, anniversary, or corporate/school event.

We believe each song needs to be the absolute best choice for that particular moment in your party. No filler. Nothing inappropriate.

We believe each event needs to be built, tailored, and managed around YOUR idea of fun and not just what is usually done at similar events.

WHY US?
We come to you with exciting and fresh party ideas, all styles of music, polished DJs/MCs who love what they do, and years of references to underscore our commitment to crafting wonderful events. Our fee always includes your choice of lighting & special effects, a request guarantee, and a complete second sound system for your cocktail hour or ceremony that is held in separate room/outdoors.

Visit our website http://www.btedj.com or give us a call 315-492-7985 to find out how we can make your reception one that guests will be sure to compare all future events to.

We held our wedding at BVB and cannot recommend it enough. It is an absolutely beautiful venue - the area, the view, the trees, the pond, and of course the space itself. The inside of the barn is gorgeous and the owner has updated it nicely and kept it well maintained. We had countless comments from guests about how unbelievable the venue was. The process of visiting and making the arrangements for the wedding was very seamless. The owner, Kari, is very accommodating, professional, and easy to work with. Throughout the planning stages and on the actual day of, she was tremendous to work with. She truly made every effort to ensure that our day went off without any issues. Overall we were so pleased with Best View Barn and we would easily recommend the venue a thousand times over.

Black Tie Entertainment (BTE) was fantastic. We recently got married at the Turning Casino and Resort and hired BTE as our DJ for both our ceremony (on the great lawn of the resort) and reception.

Leading up to the wedding, BTE was very responsive. We had certain songs we wanted played at certain times and they worked with us before the wedding and had several excellent suggestions to improve on what we wanted.

The music for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception was great. The timing for the ceremony songs was perfect and there was a perfect mix of dancing and dinner music at the reception. The few announcements and introductions that we had discussed were done very professionally.

BTE also coordinated with the reception staff at the Turning Stone to make sure everything went smoothly -- the timing of the toasts, the cake cutting, etc.

We, especially my now husband, is very into music and did not want the typical cookie cutter songs played. He was extremely pleased with the results and we got a lot of positive feedback from our guests about the music.

Black Tie Entertainment made our wedding day all we hoped for and we highly recommend them.

Bill was amazing to work with and kept the party going all night. We made changes with him right up until the last minute and he just went with the flow and helped us navigate the way weddings usually work. He checked in with us throughout the night to make sure we were doing ok and he really cared about us as a couple!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
