Fantastic service and facilitation

Carly was absolutely phenomenal to work with. Not only did she make adjustments to all our needs and wants but she flawlessly facilitated the night making sure each event ran seamlessly from one to the other. She played all the music we asked for and more. Really a joy to work with and can’t recommend more.

Great personal touches!

Carly made my life and wedding day so much easier! She has been doing this for quite some time and really knows her stuff! In addition to having great tips on wine pairings and alcohol choices, she also is a wiz with music choices! She was so fun to work with, had a great personality and helped move our wedding reception along in a fun, but organized way. She reached out to me a few days before the wedding just to get the final details and ensure that I didn't have any questions. Then when I (of course) had questions later on, she was available to me via text. She brought us cocktails right after the ceremony ended so we could be refreshed during pictures which was an unexpected but very welcome treat! What a professional, sweet person to work with on your very special (but potentially very stressful, if you don't hire Carly!) day! Thank you so much for making everything perfect!

Amazing!!!

They were so helpful and attentive to me and my guests! They helped pack extra food on ice during the middle of the party so we could take it back and brought beer and beverages to the bridal party and me and my husband when we were getting photos done! The music was perfect and everyone loved it!

Wonderful venue and service!

Carly was super fun and easy to work with. The venue was great allowing us to bring our own alcohol but had awesome bartenders serving. Carly was also the DJ and did great, making for a fun evening. Beautiful venue

Fantastic!!

We hired Craft Event Bar for our DJ services at on wedding on 6/6/21 and we were not disappointed! I'm a bit of a control freak so I chose all the songs but they were executed perfectly! I had some odd requests and a lot going on and everything was handled great! Our DJ was hilarious and had such a great spirit about her and it fit in perfectly with what we were looking for and what our wedding was! 10/10 would recommend!!

Amazing experience!

I worked with Carly on both bar and DJ services for my wedding and she did a FANTASTIC job with both! She is not only very talented at creating delicious cocktails, but her team is so professional and make sure to create a fun and inviting atmosphere that will keep all your wedding guests happy and wanting more! She also went above and beyond to make my wedding dreams come true, like taking the lead to make sure everyone in the processional walked in on a certain line of our song. I would highly recommend her for your bar and DJ needs!

Great service!!

I hired Craft Event Bar for both drink & DJ services. Their flexibility was definitely a highlight. Carly offered to have cans instead of kegs for beers so guests could take beers home. I had a lot of out of town guests who love yuengling so the cans were a total hit!! As far as DJ services, she sent me a questionnaire asking for my preferred songs. She did a great job announcing all of the events and it was super nice to not think about the timeline during the reception. She was on it!!

WONDERFUL to work with ❤️

Carly provided excellent MC/DJ services as well as being our vendor for alcohol! She spent extra time and money offering a karaoke option which made the day even more special. Her prices are VERY reasonable and she really listens to your vision and goes above and beyond to make it reality.

Incredibly helpful throughout the entire process

We hired Craft Event Bar for DJ, Bar, and wedding coordination services. They turned out to be incredibly helpful on all fronts during the entire wedding planning process. With any task that they could have helped with, they were extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and professional. I don't intend to plan any more weddings anytime soon, but if I did, I would not hesitate to hire Craft Event Bar again.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
