Look no further, go with Impulse Entertainment!!

We can’t say enough good things about our experience with Nick and his team at Impulse Entertainment. The entire process from start to finish exceeded our expectations and the cost was very reasonable for all that we received. Nick's attitude and passion for what he does is infectious and his service was a 10 out of 10. We selected Jeff as our DJ and he was amazing too. He took our wish list and made sure everything we wanted to hear was played and he also added in some of his own suggestions and took some guest requests. The end result was a perfect blend of music that kept the dance floor full the whole night. He's super talented at mixing and blending which made it much more lively than if every song was played in its entirety. We also elected to have a photo booth. Paulina was our attendant working the booth and she was great too. Everyone had a blast taking candid group shots. We loved that the guests received a copy of the photo strip, one copy got pasted into an album for us to keep and a digital copy of everything was available online for us to download. Definitely worth having a booth at your wedding! Countless guests came up to us over the course of the night and told us it was the best wedding they had ever been to which was really nice to hear. All in all, Nick and team are just awesome! Don't waste your time looking around, go with Impulse Entertainment and you won't regret it.

This team was amazing!

These guys are great! Our DJ, Steve, was so helpful, extremely organized, worked well with the other vendors, and most importantly, kept the party going until the end of the night. Jess, in the photo booth, was very kind. She helped our guests take the best photos. She even copied all the photos and had everyone create a scrapbook for us to remember the night.
Nick was great help organizing everything for us. He created a couple of mixes and Mashups specifically for us that left the room amazed.
Most importantly, they actually cared about my wife and me. I lost some close family members during the planning of this wedding. Cancer sucks. It was tough staying focused and positive the last couple of months leading up to the wedding. Nick and his team were patient, thoughtful, and kind.
I couldn't recommend them enough. You'll be in the best hands.

Impulse Entertainment is the best

The whole crew at Impulse Entertainment was top notch from the very beginning. If you’re looking for your wedding DJ, this is the company to use! The owner, Nick Vera, was in communication with us from the start and checked in on us monthly. He is the best! Their planning app was easy to use and helped us keep everything on track. Our DJ, Steve, absolutely crushed it! From the ceremony to the reception and dance floor, he had the crowd energized the whole time. He was in contact with us the entire wedding and definitely helped keep the whole timeline on track. Many of our guests complimented him and said that he had the smoothest song transitions they have ever seen. Our photobooth attendant Jess was so nice! She was a great people person and everyone loved her. She even made sure to save every picture I took with my husband. She put them in our photo book for us so we didn’t have to worry about losing them. Highly recommend the entire team at Impulse Entertainment!

Ed DJ!! and Nick Owner - The Best in the Business

First off, I want to say I am so happy that we found Nick and Ed. I knew right from the start that we had found the best DJ service in the area, and they both helped to put us at ease about the planning process.

Nick was so helpful with any questions I had, he gave great suggestions, and his overall energy and vibe was exactly what I needed. As soon as we got talking, I didn't feel like I was "just another client" - I felt like he was genuinely interested in me as a person and what our vision was for our wedding day. Right away I knew he was the right person for the job, and if I could go back in time, I'd choose Impulse Entertainment again and again.

The app was amazing and super easy to use. I loved that I could input songs/playlists right from Spotify - this made it super easy for me to add the songs that we wanted. I also loved how much planning they put into the app itself - all the various questions regarding speeches, blessing, wedding party, etc. - this template was super helpful and made a big chunk of the planning effortless.

And lastly, Ed ---- I mean wow. He was our guy for sure. I so appreciate his calm demeanor, and helping us feel comfortable and seen on the wedding day - not just as bride and groom, but as real people. There were multiple times he would come up to us to check in to make sure we were good and to see if we needed anything - this meant a lot to me to have someone looking after us.

He was quick to think when we had family slideshows play - he was able to hook up another speaker - since one of the chords didn't reach to my laptop. In this situation, he didn't waver or give any hesitance that he couldn't get the job done - he took action and was able to figure it out -- we so appreciated this!!

Also, his improvisation during the dancing hours was amazing - one notable moment was when some of our groomsmen had started to break dance on the floor - not only did he play the perfect music for them, but he also even did like a mini contest for them saying something like, "All right give it up for contestant number 1!!, number 2!!, number 3!!" It's hard to explain in words, but everyone was cheering and loved it - it was such an impromptu moment and he handled it perfectly.

We are so amazed at the overall seamless experience of choosing Impulse Entertainment. We are forever grateful to you all and will always recommend your services to any person that asks for a good DJ service.

Thank you so much again and God Bless,

Katie and Kevin

HIRE them!

Our DJ, John, did an amazing job!! My husband and I have very diverse musical tastes and we were able to put together a Spotify list to point John to the music we enjoy. He pivoted when he needed to for last minute changes to the schedule. And did the greatest things to get people on the dance floor! We have had several people ask for the playlist even - it was that good! Put simply, Impulse Entertainment did the best job possible! We felt so cared for from the start of planning to the event. Two words - BOOK THEM!

A dream come true!

Impulse DJ's was truly such an amazing company to work with. Nick worked so closely with us to create our dream wedding day. He was as excited as we were for our big day. He sent us monthly emails to check in with us and make sure we were on track. He made the whole process much less stressful and more enjoyable. Our DJ Steve, was AMAZING. He was so lively and outgoing during the whole day. He played all of our songs exactly as requested from the ceremony to our last dance song. He kept our guests entertained and on our feet the ENTIRE night. There was not a moment when the dance floor was empty. Steve helped keep us on track during the day and checked in with my husband and me all day long. He guided our parents and siblings through our speeches. I would highly recommend using this company for your DJ services. I cannot stop watching our reception videos back. Just AMAZING. Thank you Steve and Nick for everything.

Wedding Day Perfection!

Impulse Entertainment is the best! Nick was incredibly helpful in the months leading up to our big day, sending regular communications each month with reminders and information to help us stay on track. He constantly checked in to see how he could assist us. On the actual day, John and Susan were absolutely incredible. They truly helped make our wedding day as smooth as possible! They were very helpful in the planning process and supported us every step of the way. Throughout the reception, John skillfully read the crowd, ensuring our guests danced all night. Susan did an incredible job managing the photo booth, helping guests take fantastic pictures. Thank you both so much for making our night unforgettable!

Absolutely Wonderful!

Impulse Entertainment truly made our wedding day extraordinary! From the moment we met Nick, we knew we were in good hands. Not only did they provide top-notch DJ services and an amazing photo booth, but having Nick officiate our ceremony was the icing on the cake. We had several meetings with Nick beforehand, and the customer portal made it incredibly convenient to curate our own playlists.
The ceremony was nothing short of magical. Nick's attention to detail and ability to incorporate elements that reflected both my wife and me made it truly special. We've received countless compliments from our guests, with many saying it was the best ceremony they've ever witnessed. It was a perfect blend of laughter, tears, and heartfelt moments.
Nick's talent extended to the dancefloor, where he effortlessly kept the energy high all night long. In fact, our guests were having so much fun that they tried to extend the reception just to keep dancing! And Susan, who managed the photo booth, went above and beyond her duties, even lending a hand to help bustle my wife's dress.
We can't thank Impulse Entertainment enough for making our wedding day unforgettable. They exceeded our expectations in every way, and we couldn't have asked for a better team to help us celebrate this special occasion.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Nick is great and what he does. He really goes above and beyond for the couples he works with. He wants to make sure the bride and groom and as comfortable as they can be on their big day. On the last wedding I worked with him on he chased the groom and bride down after the ceremony just to get them some drinks and another time when the venue didn't know what to do with the cake me and him helped and just moved things as necessary so the bride and groom didn't have to worry about it. He cares about all his clients and if you are looking for a top notch DJ he is your guys!
