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!

Angelica was amazing! She was great with keeping the guests entertained and came into the crowd during line dances to help teach them! Their whole system up to the wedding was easy to use and I felt like they really cared. Definitely will recommend and use again!

The Market at Grelen Wedding for Victor and Leah

John was absolutely amazing! He killed it as an MC, and most importantly played the best music we could’ve asked for! We had the best time ever and glad we chose John and Black Tie Entertainment!

Wedding DJ-James Harris

James Harris with Black Tie Entertainment was everything we could have wanted from a DJ for our special day. He effortlessly read the atmosphere throughout the day without prompting, equipment was professional and didn't take up too much space, and he had a calming presence that helped elevate and move the day along without stealing attention. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding DJ!

Highly recommend!

Black tie entertainment was great to work with from start to finish. Matt was so helpful during our consultation call and after chatting we found that DJ Freddy was the best fit for our special day. Communication was great and leading up to the day, Freddy made sure to answer any questions we had. We made a cocktail/dinner & reception playlist as there was some specific songs we knew we wanted played and he was pretty spot on. We had a small intimate wedding but our group was vibing the whole time. Thank you Freddy & black tie!! Very professional- highly recommend!

Absolutely Perfect From Start to Finish

Black Tie Entertainment was amazing from start to finish! They worked with our budget needs and matched us with our amazing DJ, Jason. He was so helpful throughout the entire planning process and, with only a few calls, he nailed everything we wanted for our wedding day. He truly understood our vision and brought it to life perfectly.

From the prelude to the grand exit, everything ran seamlessly throughout the entire night. Jason coordinated with our other vendors to ensure smooth transitions and kept everything running effortlessly. His professionalism, attention to detail, and ability to keep the night flowing allowed us to relax and enjoy every moment.

I cannot thank Black Tie Entertainment and Jason enough for everything they did to make our day so special. I would recommend them to everyone!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
