Highly recommend entertainment and photography!
We couldn’t be happier with the services provided by Limelight Photography and Entertainment for our wedding. The photography team was exceptionally organized, great at communicating, and skilled at managing large groups of people. They were fast, efficient, and made the whole process seamless. We were a bit nervous because we’re not naturally comfortable with posed pictures, but they guided us perfectly, and the results are stunning! The sneak peeks of our photos already look amazing.
The DJ team was equally outstanding. The dance floor was packed all night, and our guests are still raving about the fantastic music. They created an incredible mix of genres, carefully reading the crowd to keep the energy high. Their attention to detail and ability to adapt to the vibe made the night unforgettable.
Working with a team familiar with our venue, The Mill Lakeside Manor, was such a bonus. They knew all the best spots for photos, which put us completely at ease. We highly recommend Limelight for both DJ and photography services. They made our special day absolutely perfect!

Would highly recommend
We hired Limelight for DJ and photobooth. We thought there were prices were incredibly reasonable and the communication between Chris and his team was great. He was always available for questions and always super patient with us. We had Moe as our DJ and he was super cool. He understood exactly what we wanted. On the day of, he did a great job and even let me come up on the DJ booth which was one of the highlights of the night. Thanks so much Limelight! We’d highly recommend them to anyone interested!

Dream Team
I cannot recommend Limelight highly enough. We booked pretty much all of their services (DJ, Photobooth, Photo, & Video) and everyone we worked with was the definition of "dream team". Our entertainment team made planning so easy and then understood the assignment. Everything went so smoothly especially since they were recommended by our venue and they were so familiar with the space and their team. The vibe was perfect and everyone was having a great time the entire night! Our photo and video team was incredible! Jackie is so organized and made sure we got all the shots we wanted! The team had the whole process down to a science and adapted to the conditions of the day seamlessly. They also kept us laughing and made sure there was no stress at all. It also helped that our package included an engagement shoot so we could get familiar with the process ahead of time. Our engagement photos and our wedding day sneak peek photos are absolutely stunning and I can't want to see the rest! As stressful as planning a wedding can be, I never once stressed about anything the Limelight team was handling because I knew we were in the best hands!!

The most fun day!
Limelight Entertainment was exactly the vibe we wanted for our wedding. We were matched with the best DJ (Shoutout to DJ Joe!) after explaining what we wanted. Our guests couldn't stop complimenting the music all night and the dance floor was always filled. We cannot recommend Limelight enough!

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Limelight as our wedding DJ! From the ceremony music to cocktail hour and all the way through the reception, everything flowed seamlessly. They kept the energy up all night — the dance floor was always full, which is exactly what we hoped for. Their professionalism, timing, and ability to read the crowd made such a difference in making our day feel smooth and stress-free. We highly recommend Limelight to any couple looking for an amazing DJ team for their wedding!

01.31.2026 Wedding
From the very first call we had with Jason Kohlman at Limelight Entertainment, we knew we were in the best hands. He was professional, personable, and genuinely excited about bringing our vision to life. That initial conversation gave us so much confidence, and he absolutely delivered.
We got married on 1/31/2026 at The Hamilton Manor, and Jason played such a huge role in making our reception unforgettable. He did not skip a beat all night long. The dance floor was completely packed from start to finish, and the energy never once slowed down. Every song flowed seamlessly into the next, and he read the room perfectly. Our guests are still raving about how much fun they had and how they didn’t want the night to end.
The entrances for our bridal party, our families, and our grand entrance were announced flawlessly. The timing, the excitement in his voice, and the way he built up the moment set the tone for the entire evening. It created the perfect vibe and kicked off the celebration in the best way possible.
If you are looking for a skilled entertainment company and a passionate, talented DJ who truly cares about your day, definitely reach out to Limelight Entertainment. We are so grateful to Jason for making our wedding reception everything we dreamed of and more.

Limelight Was Great!
Limelight was fantastic throughout our entire wedding process. Upon first reaching out, Chris understood what we were looking for and steered us in the right direction of choosing our DJ for our wedding. DJ Moe was fabulous to work with. On our wedding day, the dance floor was packed and everyone had a blast. The music sections were perfect and aligned exactly with the vibe we were looking for. 10/10 would recommend! We also had a photobooth which our guests really loved.

Limelight is incredible!
When my husband and I were doing our wedding vendor search, Limelight Entertainment was recommended for both DJ and photography. We loved the concept of a “one-stop shop” and that both vendors would personally know one another and work well in tandem. After having a video meeting with Chris (DJ) and then with Jackie (photographer), we knew we found our team. The communication with Limelight was always responsive, organized, timely. They answered all our of questions with patience and understanding. Even a few days before the wedding, I had a last minute idea with my processional song and sent a late-night email to Chris. He hopped on a quick call with me the next day to talk through my idea and everything was so perfect on the big day. Jackie was just beyond incredible. She is so passionate about what she does, and has the talent to capture those little magical moments. From a smirk, to a loving look, to capturing our families joy and knowing the entire wedding party by name- her little special touches really made the day extra beautiful. Not just my husband and I felt the passion, but our families and bridal party said the same thing. We wouldn’t have wanted to spend our wedding day with a different photographer!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
