Black Tie Entertainment

Working with Black Tie Entertainment was truly the best experience we could have asked for! We had an in-depth initial consultation with Victoria Lukehart, who was incredibly kind and asked us so many thoughtful and detailed questions about what we were looking for in a DJ. The consultation went beyond just our music preferences. She wanted to understand what our wedding day would look like and who we were as a couple so she could match us with the DJ who would be the best fit for us.

We ended up choosing Freddy Bonilla, which was probably one of the best decisions we made throughout the entire wedding planning process. We first met with Freddy over Zoom several months before the wedding and instantly clicked. Black Tie’s website made adding songs easy, but Freddy made the process even easier by allowing us to share our Spotify playlist with him. He was incredibly accommodating and gave us the freedom to decide what songs we wanted played, as well as what songs we absolutely did not want played.

No matter how specific or unique our requests were, Freddy made it happen. Whether it was a very niche song we wanted played during open dancing or a specially chopped version of a song for my wife to walk down the aisle to, Freddy executed everything perfectly.

During open dancing, Freddy really showed how talented he is at reading a crowd. At one point, both of our families were talking and socializing rather than being on the dance floor, so Freddy tried several different songs and genres until he landed on Latin music. The second he found the right vibe, both of our families came rushing onto the dance floor. He kept that energy going for the rest of the night, and the dance floor stayed packed until the venue closed.

Freddy listened to everything we asked for, respected all of the parameters we set, and still brought his own expertise and ability to read the room to make the night even better than we imagined.

If you make the right choice and go with Black Tie Entertainment, do yourself another favor and book Freddy. We genuinely could not have asked for a better DJ or a better experience. We are so grateful to Victoria, Freddy, and the entire Black Tie Entertainment team for helping make our wedding night so incredible!

We cannot say enough wonderful things about DJ Nick Griffin! He did an absolutely amazing job at our wedding, and we are so thankful we had him as part of such a special day.

From start to finish, everything was fantastic. The music was great, the energy was perfect, and he did an incredible job keeping the evening flowing and everyone entertained. He helped create such a fun atmosphere and made sure our guests had a night to remember!

Beyond that, he was professional, personable, and wonderful to work with. We were able to relax, enjoy our day, and trust that everything was in good hands.

Nick, thank you for helping make our wedding day everything we hoped it would be! We would recommend DJ Nick Griffin to any couple looking for someone to make their big day extra special!

We can’t recommend John enough!!! We had a small group of 30ish people and from the start of the whole process John walked us through every little thing that would help our little gathering feel like a massive party! His energy was amazing, his recommendations were spot on, and he fully captured our vibe every step of the way! I own a small business so I fully believe in “trust the professionals” and I’m so grateful we trusted John to do his thing! He started with some classic hits to get the crowd energized before transitioning perfectly into some more modern dance songs, then we partied HARD when he suggested we spend the last part of the night rocking emo hour! Our millennial hearts were sooo happy listening to all the pop punk hits we grew up with and it was truly the perfect end to an absolutely amazing night! We loved working with John and HIGHLY recommend trusting his expertise and giving him free rein to keep the party going all night long!!

DJ Gene was great to work with for our wedding reception! He handled the announcements well and provided a nice mix of music that kept people out on the dance floor.

We hired Black Tie as our wedding DJ for our October 2, 2026 wedding, and they were phenomenal! DJ Gene brought high energy and were so responsive and great to work with from the very beginning. Our dance floor was packed the entire night, and our guests loved the music so much that multiple people asked us for the playlist afterward! If you want a fun, professional team that will keep your party going, we cannot recommend them enough.

We used Black Tie Entertainment and were paired with Rick. He really took the time to understand what type of event/vibe we were going for. He was really responsive, open to ideas. The best part is that he really just knew how to interact with the crowd at the right times.

My aunt recommended Black Tie Entertainment after attending another wedding who used them, so my husband and I decided to check them out. We are so glad that we went with this company! You get to choose what style of music you like and based on that you can interview/chat with DJs who match your music style, which is great because you can build that rapport with the person who can make/break your big day. We were always able to reach out and get immediate responses, so we were very happy with their communication. Although we did not use their other services (lighting, photobooth, etc), it was good to know that they also had those options. The DJ service the day of the wedding was AMAZING! Our DJ, Oneka, got so many compliments from our family/friends. The dancefloor was full the entire night :) The pricing was already great but we were very happy with it all after the night was over. Would highly recommend this company!

We used Nick for our wedding. He was incredibly professional, super responsive, helpful, and gave so many tips and advice for how we wanted to flow to go for our night. I highly reccomend him! And have referred him already!

Mike Interdonato absolutely exceeded all of our wedding day expectations!!! Super cool guy that you can tell genuinely loves what he does and that he’s invested in making sure you have the best wedding ever. Our dance floor was PACKED, including handicapped relatives who were holding onto chairs so they could join in on the dance floor!!

Mike took the time to thoroughly go through our timeline with us beforehand, but he was super flexible when everything didn’t go according to plan the day of. We are soooo happy we went with Black Tie Entertainment, and Mike specifically!!

The only area of improvement I would note is that the initial sales call with Matt took far too long. It was like an hour and a half (half of which wasn’t really relevant) and we felt stuck there during a super busy time in our life. Make sure you are planning for it because we surely did not and we were starving by the end lol.

HOWEVER MIKE ABSOLUTELY KILLED IT!!! No notes for him! Worth every penny :)

Our experience with Black Tie and Rick was outstanding from start to finish. The meetings with Rick were personal and truly a collaboration of ideas amongst the 3 of us to create a memorable wedding for us and our guests. The website to create music lists/requests is outstanding!
Rick had the right amount of energy for our group and his technical and personal professionalism made the evening a huge success.
