    Simply the Best

    We booked AMS at the recommendation of our wedding planner and all I can say is "Thank Goodness!!!". Our DJ, Jose, was so helpful, responsive, understanding, and open to feedback. My husband and I have been in the hospitality industry for years and have seen our fair share of cheesy wedding DJs and we knew that is not what we wanted. Jose listened to our wants/needs and exceeded every single one. He even helped my husband coordinate a group sing as a part of his speech to me, my favorite moment of the night. Can't recommend Jose and AMS enough.

    We are so glass we had AMS Events part of our wedding day. Prior to our wedding Tad and Trina communicated with us and even set up a meeting to meet us and figure out everything we were hoping to have at our wedding. The staff set us up with everything we asked for and our wedding day turned out amazing. DJ Robbie had everyone out on the dance floor all night long....Thank you so much! Mason controlled the Photo Booth all night and my guests loved all there photos and props. I highly recommended using AMS Events for any of your events! So professional and we did not have one problem before and/or day of the wedding!!!!

    We loooved having AMS help run our special day. Their DJ was amazing and really got the crowd moving. They also helped light our venue and made it look so gorgeous. The guests were raving about it all! They were so easy to work with, and made sure everything was personalized for us. I never worried about whether or not things were going to end up the way I wanted them to.

    AMS were phenomenal to work with, they provided DJ and lights for our August wedding. The lights set the perfect mood for dinner and the DJ had us dancing all night long. Trina and Tad were a dream to work with helping me throughout the process, even accommodating week of changes to our plan. I would highly recommend them!

    I'm giving Tad, Chawn and Trina 5 stars in all categories because they deserve it! I did not get married at a "normal/official" venue, however they were able to accommodate in every way. Tad met with me at the venue a few weeks before and went over everything for the day of. Trina got back to me via email with any question I had in less than 24 hours. Chawn was a rock star the day of and I had a blast dancing the night away at my wedding. I highly recommend these guys for their professionalism and value. I also rented their photobooth which was a hit and so much fun! Thank you AMS for being involved in the best wedding a girl could ask for.

    Tad and his group did a great job when it came to explaining the process, not over selling, and really recommending what made sense for our wedding. You really wont be disappointed in their services from start to finish. I would highly recommend their services!

    AMS was so accommodating and willing to work with us! Our DJ was able to set up at our reception location and then run the music and sound at our ceremony location in a very short amount of time. Our DJ was very professional and helped the evening run so smoothly. It was such a relief knowing that they had everything taken care of and we didn't have to micromanage them. They also did the lighting at our reception location which was the perfect addition to our space.


    Our only "issue" was playing the wrong version of a song for our processional. Overall they did an incredible job and we were so pleased with their service.

    My daughter just got married! We contacted Tad at AMS Santa Barbara and his group was amazing to work with! Tad & Trina worked with me and our budget and made everything so easy. The DJ (Joe) that they connected us with was amazing! He really worked with the bride and groom to bring their vision to life. We all enjoyed working with Joe and he made everything on the day go so smoothly. He brought great energy to the reception and was flexible too. We rented a classic photo booth too and Samantha was great! Our guests really enjoyed the music and taking pics. I highly recommend AMS Entertainment Santa Barbara for your wedding or your next event.

    We booked our wedding DJ (DJ Curly) through AMS and he was AWESOME. The service was great and they were very accommodating to playing Croatian music (just needed to provide MP3s). The music was on point all ceremony and the dance floor was in full swing! DJ Curly was able to read the crowd perfectly and made our wedding night full of fun and dancing! Highly recommend AMS for their services & DJ Curly as DJ.

    My experience with AMS entertainment was perfection from beginning to end. They were all so attentive and on point. Tad took time to get to know what we wanted as a couple so that he could match us with the DJ that was just right for us. We also chose uplighting that made our reception look so beautiful. DJ Andrew was AMAZING. He was so organized and professional. I am a planner, so I really appreciated the planner that they had us fill out for the reception. It made things run a lot smoother in my opinion. I also really appreciated the attention to detail that everyone at AMS provided us especially when there is so much to think about and so much stress when planning a wedding. They made it as easy as possible and we loved how they made us feel important. It was easy to trust them because they were on top of it and provided excellent service throughout the whole proceds. We had one song request for each guest and DJ Andrew was very open to playing everything our guests wanted. On our wedding day DJ Andrew played a variety of music, which kept the party going and our guests very happy! We got a lot of compliments on the variety of our music thanks to him. We also loved his yellow bow tie! Pretty cool!! I will definitely be recommeding them to my friends and family and will use them for future parties! Thank you AMS!

    AMS is great! A friend who is in the wedding industry told me about AMS after I had made several calls to day of wedding coordinators and was discouraged by their extremely expensive prices. We only used AMS for a Coordinator but they also can provide DJ's, lighting, etc. We had Natalie Melton as as our Coordinator for our wedding at the SB historical Museum and she was A+! Extremely organized, kind to our family and friends and ensured everything came together. AMS will pair you with a Coordinator based on their availability and your needs, etc (there's a survey you take in the beginning) so that's something you have to be ok with; but for us we simply wanted someone organized to help prior and for the day of & Natalie exceeded our expectations. What's also nice is their Coordinators start working with you a couple of months before, and it's extremely helpful to have this support in the upcoming months to the big day. Great staff and good value. Definitely go with AMS for your wedding coordination needs!

    We used DJ Matt Nocas and we was terrific. He completely accommodated our wants and needs. He felt the wedding out and played music that suited to all. Very easy to work with, no overbearing, we were very stoked I met with Matt the week before to go over everything and he's very approachable and understood our desired wedding culture very quickly. Highly recommend AMS and DJ Matt Nocas!

    AMS entertainment was the perfect choice for our wedding! Andrew was so helpful with every single detail! His music selection was so much fun and was applicable for every one of my guests. He played a wide variety of music and all my guests loved it! The music definitely made our wedding really special. I would recommend him to anyone!

    We hired AMS Entertainment to do our DJ and month-of coordinator. From the beginning, they treated us great. Our DJ was Matt, and he was enthusiastic and helpful along the way. We were most impressed with Vienna, who performed practically perfectly. She was enthusiastic, supportive, coordinated proactively with everything, able to adapt to any changes or suggestions we made (even last minute), and all of our wedding guests who met her told us how much they liked her.

    Natalie was our wedding coordinator for the entire month before our wedding. I can’t stress enough what a relief it was to have her for this time. She contacted all of our vendors and made sure they all had a day of timeline, which was extremely helpful and something I wouldn’t have thought to do. Natalie is in Santa Barbara and we are in San Francisco, so we met via Skype and phone conversations; she also met with us the night before the rehearsal dinner at our venue so we could walk through how the night would go.
    Natalie genuinely cares about your day and will do whatever it takes to make everything go perfectly smooth. I felt completely relieved having her as our coordinator and didn’t worry about anything the day of our wedding. We had décor that we brought from home, which Natalie took care of setting up and packing back up at the end of the night. She had great ideas of where certain things should go, such as the escort card table and sign in table.
    The night went extremely smoothly and Natalie was there the entire time to make sure everything stayed on schedule. Even my family members commented the next day that she was fabulous.
    Once the night was over Natalie went above and beyond, she took all our gifts and décor back to our room and packed it up perfectly. The sweetest part was that she set up candles, sprinkled flower petals all over the floor, made a heart out of flower petals on the bed, set up flowers all over the room, had a bucket with champagne, and chocolate covered strawberries waiting for us. It was so romantic and the most amazing thing to come back to after our wedding. I can’t put into words how amazing Natalie is and how I would hire her for every event possible!
    Thank you Natalie for helping make our day perfect!

    We had a great experience with AMS for our May 2016 wedding. We used their DJ, Photobooth, AND Month-Of Coordination services. They gave us a good deal for all the add ons and everything turned out great.

    DJ Andrew Burger listened to our requests and did a great job fitting the music with the atmosphere. The dance floor was a popular place!

    Photobooth was standard and people had a blast, no complaints there!

    Natalie was our day-of (month-of) coordinator and she did a great job with the set up and execution of the day. Everything felt seamless and we didn't have to think of any timeline stuff ourselves...Natalie was always there telling us what we needed to be doing!

    We could not be more grateful for AMS Entertainment's services. Matt was our DJ and like the previous raving reviews he was everything we read and more. He was very professional and responsive. We were both pretty flexible and open when it came to music and Matt was able to find the perfect mix of everything for the day of. We had a couple unique, crazy requests and he was able to fulfill them perfectly. As a dancing family, we loved it all and kept the dance floor packed the entire time. We were from out of town and only able to meet with Matt once, but from that one meeting we both trusted Matt and we were not wrong. The ceremony, cocktail and reception music was all perfect. I could not recommend AMS Entertainment more highly and in particular Matt. He really did make our day perfect and we could not have anticipated a better a DJ to work with!

    The whole team at AMS was incredibly helpful and made the music planning part so easy. Matt was our DJ and he really took the time to get to know us as a couple, as well as get an understanding of our guests, so that he could best fit the music lineup. He was in touch all the way up to the big day, he arrived to the venue early, and helped to manage the timeline of our wedding alongside our onsite planner. Matt is professional, fun to work with, and really created the ultimate party for our guests. I would recommend AMS to anyone and will definitely use them as soon as I have another opportunity.

    Haley Brantley was a godsend to us and our wedding. We only had a month left to tie up loose ends regarding our wedding planning and finding vendors; we were so far behind and stressed out. We were elated with the way that Haley was able to work with us to bring everything together. Open communication was super important to me because before we found Haley, we had hired a coordinator who ignored us for weeks and then sent us an email stating that she couldn't help with our wedding anymore. You can imagine the level of stress we felt. I don't think there was one day that went by, in the final month before our wedding, where we didn't receive a text, email or phone call from Haley. She was on top of everything and made us feel confident in her abilities. I don't think we can put into words how grateful we were to have found her. She was the best money spent on our wedding and it wouldn't have run so smoothly without her.

    My dj was Andrew Burgher he literally saved our wedding day. He went above and beyond what he had to do for us he found a need location just hours before our wedding bc we were rained out of the other location we were surprised just how much work he did to save our wedding without him we wouldn't have been able to get married that same day. He also did an awesome job w the music selection I would recommend him to anyone and if I need a dj in the future I will be calling him.

    We hired Hayley Hogan from AMS Entertainment to do our day of wedding coordination. We weren't sure we needed a coordinator, but we couldn't have been more wrong. Hayley put together our entire timeline. She took into account all our wishes and adjusted everything accordingly. She confirmed all our vendors, and when our transportation backed out a few days before the ceremony, she saved us by getting us an even better deal with a really great company. She and her assistant helped set everything up--even helping us save some money by setting up our dessert table when we were unable to get the time to do it. She was instrumental in wrangling all of our friends and family for the wedding rehearsal and ceremony. She was incredibly sweet, easy to work with, a great communicator, extremely accessible and available, and completed every task with a great attitude and a smile. Everyone from the bartender to our shuttle driver agreed that she was one of the nicest and most-professional people they had ever had the pleasure of working with. I cannot recommend her enough.

    DJ Matt was incredibly professional. From the moment we walked into his office, he made sure he had every little detail correct for our big event, from the spelling of everybody's names in our wedding party, which was fairly large, to the proper pronunciations, to what music we were completely against playing (even if requested) to what we would be okay with playing, to the general vibe of what we were going for. Although my now husband and I like very different styles of music, DJ Matt found the ideal balance between both of us. He was on time, he set up everything himself, and he made sure all our wedding party and guests were having a good time. We knew we had picked the perfect DJ when he used google earth to show us where the equipment would be set up for the venue we had chosen. When we first thought about having a DJ, we weren't sure if we needed the extra cost. Why not just set up an Ipod and hit play every time you need it? Trust us--you need it. People would not have been able to hear our officiant--or our wedding vows if DJ Matt had not miked him and set up the sound for the ceremony. I would highly recommend DJ Matt for any future events--he is the total package.
