Best DJ/MC You Could Dream Of

My husband and I could not have thought of a better DJ/MC for our wedding. We've seen CME at another friend's wedding and knew right in that moment that they were exactly who we wanted for our wedding. Let me tell you, they brought their A-game. Rudy and Genesis helped to plan every minute of the wedding and when we had to change the plan in the reception, they were able to pivot and make changes flawlessly that even we could barely notice.
The way that they select the right music, they know exactly how to read a room and get people moving. I still to this day have people tell me that they have never been to a wedding with such a full and active dance floor. Having a great party with great music was one of the most important things for our wedding and with CME, we were able to get every second of that on our wedding night. 5 stars across the board!

Obsessed!

If I did one thing right while planning my wedding it was booking Crossing Midnights as the band for my wedding! They were so unbelievably amazing! I first saw them perform at my best friends wedding and I knew I had to have them. Also, I believe 5 other couples booked them after her wedding too. They listened to all of my song requests, played them and based the rest of their song selections off those songs. They nailed the vibe I was going for which was fun, singalong hits. My friends and family are still talking about them. They had everyone on the dance floor the whole night and even brought me and my husband up on the stage for the last song. Don't sleep on crossing midnights and book them right now! P.S if your venue does not have a stage, make sure you rent one through them. It makes a huge difference and they don't blend in with the crowd! Worth every penny :) Also went with the 12 piece band/ DJ combo. We also did the up lighting through the band and it set the mode for the night. Highly recommend!

Book this band!!!

TL;DR Book Crossing Midnight for your wedding!!!! They will make it the best part you ever had!!
Crossing Midnight was beyond incredible—truly electric—and you kept everyone on the dance floor from start to finish. The sets were insane, and they are all INCREDIBLY talented. Honestly they should all be famous. The feedback from our guests has been unbelievable—people are still raving that you’re the best wedding band they’ve ever heard, and we couldn’t agree more! In fact, one of my husband’s friends told him that he felt like he was at a concert, not a wedding. We can't stop talking about it. 
On top of being amazing, they also made the whole process so incredibly easy and seamless for us. We didn't have to think or worry about a single thing when it came to the band. It was probably the easiest part of the entire wedding. Book this band and you won’t regret it!!
