If you are looking for DJs who will curate your music vibe perfectly, keep the party going all night long, and also be fun and super professional people, look no further than Cascade Live Events! Mike and Gabe were so nice and prepared for our big day. They brought music and microphones to three different locations onsite for us to have music/mics at our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. We sent in some guiding playlists for the reception and a pretty specific music request for our ceremony and they executed it all flawlessly (which made for the most magical recessional!). We told them we wanted to be on the dance floor with our friends all night and they seriously played hit after hit after hit! We truly only left the dance floor for bathroom breaks and drink refills. We also had the package with party lights and SERIOUSLY, it's so worth it to make your dance floor feel inviting and fun! Even our photographer and wedding coordinator complimented Mike and Gabe for being extra collaborative with them, especially when we were running a little behind schedule. Lastly, we are two brides and Mike always made us feel welcome and accepted throughout the booking/communication process and of course, the wedding day itself. We could not be happier with our choice of DJ; the rest of the wedding weekend, we, along with our friends/family, kept saying how we wished we could do it all again for another night on that dance floor! It was truly the best party of our lives, all thanks to Cascade Live Events!

Having Cascade Live Events as our DJ vendor was easy, affordable, fun, affirming, and common-sense. We booked Mike Steltz, Co-Founder, as our DJ. Where to start!

First off, Mike was SO affordable for what we were looking for; we built a custom package based on our specific needs, and he was flexible + priced it reasonably.

Second, Mike was flexible and chill about changes along the way; we postponed a year due to COVID concerns, and after a quick chat he promptly sent us a subcontract confirming the new dates. No hassle at all! And day-of he was laid-back and professional when inclement weather forced us to relocate the dance floor.

We also want to note that as an LGBT couple Cascade Live Events felt LGBT friendly + affirming. We were transparent about ourselves from the first conversation, and explained we also had a lot of LGBT community coming; Mike used our pronouns, was comfortable + enjoyed playing the queer music we asked for, and worked hard to make us + our guests feel comfortable and affirmed the day of. Mike is NOT your corny old man DJ playing at a long island wedding (lol): he is young, super chill, and easy to work with.

Fourth, Mike did a good job staying in touch with the audience on the dance floor. He played the tunes we asked for, but he didn't act as a living spotify playlist; he remixed some FIRE tunes, and pulled from similar genres+time periods to keep the energy up on the dance floor. He was in tune with the vibe of the party! At our request he had obscure gay club songs AND interspersed more familiar tunes. As a testiment to Mike's skills the dance floor was open for 3 hours and even though we had a small guest count we had 9 people dancing till the very end.

Cannot recommend this vendor highly enough!

(Side note: it was important to us that all our vendors had dinner, breaks, and a fun time too. Cascade Live Events did have dinner written in their contract, but not everyone did. Vendors are also human beings, and they were integral parts of our wedding! We encourage all wedding couples, regardless of who they book [tho u SHOULD book Cascade Live Events lol], to also be considerate and chill with their vendors. It makes a huge difference & reduces stress for everyone the day of. :))

We are SO happy we went with Cascade Live Events! Going into our wedding, I mostly just hoped the DJ experience would be smooth and they'd play fun music; after our wedding, I am blown away by how much the Cascade Live team became a core memory from our weekend! Mike was incredible to work with throughout the planning process - he was prompt and professional at all times, offered great suggestions, and adapted the plan to whatever we wanted. Honestly, we liked working with him so much that we were sad to learn he wouldn't be the DJ himself at our wedding - but then we met Slade and Eddie on our day of, and they were truly phenomenal. They brought so much joy and energy to the dance floor without making it about themselves - seriously, they looked like they were having the time of their lives, and our guests absolutely loved them. Could not recommend highly enough!
