Amazing Company!

We worked with Eddy Bobby as our wedding DJ and Victoria Lukehart as our day of coordinator.

Victoria did an amazing job and was worth every penny spent. She worked with us for the entire month of the wedding, despite only being contractually obligated for the day of. She made us feel at ease going over timelines and was more than willing to have some late night discussions to ensure everything would run smoothly. The day of she was incredible at executing our vision for the night and ensuring we could relax and enjoy our wedding.

Eddy was a fantastic DJ for the night. He kept the pace of the music just right and played all our favorite songs. The portal Black Tie uses to create the playlist was incredible. We highly recommend you do what we did and just add a few songs to the recommended category and let Eddy take it from there. He clearly showed he knew exactly the type of music we wanted to hear and kept people on the dance floor the whole night!

I highly recommend you book both Victoria and Eddy if you want an unforgettable night!

Not Lost in Translation!

Black Tie Entertainment came highly recommended by a close friend of mine who used them for her wedding. I knew I wanted to book with them. However, when speaking to them we realized that the same DJ I had previously seen may not have been the best fit. Simply because of the vibe we wanted. When I mentioned that my family was hispanic, we were recommended to work with Freddy Bonilla. When I say that it was an absolute blessing to work with Freddy, it's an understatement. From our interview meeting to our last meeting before the big day, he was an absolute gem. At no moment was I worried about words being lost in translation. He mixed our two cultures beautifully. He was attentive to our needs and helped guide us through what we wanted to created. Black Tie Entertainment will work with you to find the perfect fit. Whether its style, entertainment level, price, and added services. We're so thankful and had the most amazing evening. The music and the lighting they provided really brought my vision as a bride to life!

Jason Paige is a true professional!

Jason Paige did an awesome job as DJ! He customized everything to how we wanted it - asking great questions to help us figure out our style. He seamlessly guided the evening through the various events, and 15 minutes before the reception ended no one wanted to get off the dance floor because he kept playing the perfect next song for the crowd. He’s top notch and super pleasant to work with!

Top notch!


We couldn't have asked for a better DJ than Gene with Black Tie Entertainment! From our very first meeting, we hit it off immediately over our shared love of music, and I knew we were in great hands.

Gene was incredibly organized and professional throughout the entire planning process, making everything feel stress-free. On our wedding day, he did an amazing job coordinating with our live singers during the ceremony, ensuring every transition was seamless.

Once the reception started, he absolutely kept the dance floor packed all night with the perfect mix of fun songs for every generation. One of the things I'm most grateful for is that he created the perfect remix for my father-daughter dance when I had no idea how to make it work. He truly stepped up to the plate and made that moment so special.

Gene went above and beyond in every way, and his passion for what he does really shows. If you're looking for someone who is talented, organized, easy to work with, and knows how to keep the party going, I highly recommend Gene with Black Tie Entertainment!

DJ Eddy Bobby with Black Tie Entertainment

Eddy Bobby from Black Tie Entertainment was an amazing DJ for our wedding, and we couldn't have been happier! From the start, he took the time to understand our musical tastes, asking thoughtful questions about what we liked and didn't like so our reception truly reflected us.

On our wedding day, Eddy absolutely delivered. He did a fantastic job mixing songs, reading the room, and keeping the dance floor full all night long. We've received so many compliments from our guests about how much fun they had.

What really set Eddy apart was how he went above and beyond. He even took candid videos and photos of our dance floor and shared them with us afterward which was such an unexpected and thoughtful surprise that we'll always treasure. If you're looking for a DJ who is talented, professional, and genuinely cares about making your wedding unforgettable, we can't recommend Eddy and Black Tie Entertainment highly enough!

Stop your search and go with Mike

This man has been nothing short of perfect. He’s everything you want in a DJ/MC. He’s charismatic, incredibly organized, and thoughtful about making sure our wedding is perfect. Whether it’s talking with us and thoroughly going through our itinerary, or just getting the vibe and making sure people are always on the dance floor. We couldn’t have asked for someone better than Mike.
Do yourself a favor and just go with him!

Best.Night.Ever

Eddy was amazing to have as a DJ for our big day. He read the room perfectly got everyone dancing. There wasn’t a second that my husband and I left the dance floor. The ceremony in dinner music were perfect as well. As an added bonus, Eddy caught some behind the scenes videos and sent them to us so we could relive the moment over and over again. I can’t say thank you enough to the black tie entertainment team, and Eddy himself.!

Best Wedding DJ!

Black Tie Entertainment was fantastic! When I first met John on Zoom, he was personable and was able to meet all of my requests. Their online portal was perfect to give the DJ all the songs we wanted played at our wedding. DJ Jason showed up early, was professional, polite, and really helped streamline our wedding. He even played wedding coordinator to our guests for dinner. Totally worth the money! It was a memorable night with fantastic music!

Zehner Wedding

Black Tie Entertainment (specifically DJ Jason Page) were a huge part in making our day so amazing! The dance floor was full the entire night. It has been 3 weeks since our wedding and we still have guests reaching out to tell us how much fun they had on the dance floor. From the ceremony to the reception, I did not have to worry about the music once (as the Bride I really loved that lol). We had such a great experience with Jason Page and highly recommend to other couples getting married!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
