Cascade Live Events DJ'ed and organized the audio and lighting at our wedding in Southern Vermont. We could not recommend them more highly. Here is a list of reasons why you should hire Cascade Live Events. 

First, they are great for couples who don't know much about music (I cannot speak to being a couple that has any musical knowledge). Mike (the emcee and sound system operator) spent time getting to know my wife and me so that he could curate a perfect playlist. I gave Mike vague directions, but Chris (the DJ) seemed to have a sixth sense for knowing exactly what music we wanted. The playlist was an absolute hit—the best night of dancing of our lives. In particular, Chris can blend music for a crowd with diverse preferences. We had 180 people at our wedding. Chris had everyone dancing to artists from Lil Nas X to The Beatles—and the transitions between them were seamless.  

Second, Mike is prepared and responsive. Mike sent us a proposed playlist with enough time for us to review it and give feedback. We did have some feedback, and Mike and Chris responded to it perfectly. I cannot emphasize this point enough. A couple will be unusually lucky to find a DJ who can, on the first try, curate a perfect playlist for a guest list with a wide array of preferences. That is why it is so important to have someone who sends you a draft in a timely fashion and responds well to feedback. And it is why the playlist that actually played at our wedding was 100% amazing. 

Third, the lighting and audio were amazing. Mike also coordinated the audio for our outdoor ceremony. The audio was flawless. Our guests perfectly heard our officiant, our readers, and our vows. During the dancing, the lighting was brilliant. We also had a live guitarist for the ceremony, and Mike offered to let the guitarist plug into Mike's audio system. 

Fourth, Mike and Chris are extremely professional. I mentioned above that Mike spent time getting to know my wife and me. But he was also incredibly responsive to emails, sent (very manageable) surveys, and kept our preferences in mind for the entire evening. For example, we did not want any line dances at our wedding. When a guest requested one, Mike tactfully steered the guest toward musical choices that we wanted to hear. 

Overall, Cascade Live Events is the perfect choice for DJ/ Audio/ Lighting. We hope you have the opportunity to work with them. 

From the very first contact with Cascade Live Events, they were very quick, professional, and personable with their response. All the questions that Rachel and I had were answered completely and directly.
On the day of our wedding, they showed up exactly when they said they would. We got to meet Mike and Ethan, and after exchanging handshakes, they went right to work with the venue, setting up all speakers and microphones. All the music requests for the processional, and the reception were perfectly set up and accommodated all of our needs with no need for any direction from us. The timing for speeches and music went perfectly. They were even able to accommodate us with an extra hour of music on the Dance floor the day of. All we had to do was give them our taste in music genres, and they ran with it and read the room perfectly.
If you want your wedding to go as smoothly as ours did, I would highly highly recommend contacting Cascade Live Events.

We do not have enough good things to say about Mike and his Team! From our initial call to the last song of the night, Mike kept us informed and at ease. Our friends and family were on the dance floor all night with Mike working his magic behind the DJ booth. We could not be happier that we chose Cascade Live Events for our wedding--Mike truly helped make it a day we will never forget!
