Rodney is amazing to work with!

We hired Rodney for our 12/19/2020 wedding at Eagle Ridge Resort in Galena, IL for a photo booth, bistro lighting, and DJ services. Rodney was so friendly throughout the planning process, and was extremely flexible with us when we had to postpone our wedding to 11/27/2021. I really liked his online planning portals; they made it very easy to communicate important details. As an added bonus, Rodney has extensive experience working with our venue. Because of this, he was easily able to communicate with the venue coordinator and establish set up times without any help needed from me! The photo booth was a big hit with guests. They got to leave a photo strip in a scrapbook for us with a little note and take a photo strip home with them! We had the bistro lights hung over the dance floor, and they were beautiful. The DJ was amazing and kept the reception running smoothly the entire night. We would definitely recommend this company!

Special Moments really made our day special with a beautiful display of bistro lighting in the banquet hall. Rodney came all the way out to Galena to set it all up early that day and so it looked beautiful lit up at night.

We had Special Moments Entertainment DJ our wedding reception and provide photobooth services. They were so responsive and accommodating throughout my entire wedding planning experience with them. At the reception, the photo booth was an absolute hit!! All of my guests were having so much fun. DJ Rich Ungos was absolutely amazing!! Our dance floor was packed all night. We had the time of our lives and couldn’t have asked for anything more. Thank you so much Special Moments Entertainment for such a fantastic night!

Rodney and his team at special moments were amazing! They were wonderful to work with, attentive, and worth every penny to decorate our venue.

Rodney was such a pleasure to work with!!! He was extremely professional, responsive, kind, easy-going, and genuine!! He also offered to suggest other vendors that I may need for my wedding, since he was more familiar with the Galena location than I was! I'm so glad that I chose Rodney to help with some of the decor of my reception!! I did the italian bistro lights and fabric draping and they both gave my reception hall that WOW factor!!! Everything turned out so beautiful, and I could not imagine not choosing those services after seeing it all done!!! It was so great to work with him!! Thank you for helping to make our day incredible!

From the moment I contacted Special Moments, the service and their attention was excellent. I live out of town, no where near my wedding location, I handle everything by phone and email. Up until the day prior to the wedding, Special Moments were there and agreed to a last minute set up change. The day of the wedding, my guests enjoyed the booth. Special Moments found my husband and I to ensure we took photos as well. They followed thru, on delivery of the memory book...(I forgot about it). I recommend!! you using there services for your photo booth needs. EXCELLENT!!

Rodeny and his photobooth wre so fun and awesome to have at the wedding. Rodeny was booked through my parents as a surprise and when my dad accidentally spilled the beans, he was great to work with. He has a nice camera set up so they are clear photos and the space he set up a lot of guests in each photo. Thank you Rodney !
