Katie Sent on 08/19/2024Excellent Service, Very Friendly and Accommodating!
I 100% recommend Black Tie Entertainment and their services!
We booked BTE for videography and their Photo Booth. My sister used their Photo Booth service and I loved the quality of the photos, the open-air style (instead of the small enclosed booths). Comes with fun props and an assortment of backgrounds and prints to choose from. What I especially appreciated from the booth attendant at our wedding is she knew to stop myself and my groom so we could take a set of photos together, just the two of us. Had she not said anything, we never would've gotten a set of pictures snapped for ourselves!
Bill was our videographer and was incredible. Not only was he a true professional, he was also very accommodating and responsive. I requested the raw footage (for a small fee), so I have not yet seen the reel they are making for us, but the assortment of incredible shots and footage he captured has us so excited for the final product. It's amazing how much Bill captured as one person working the entirety of the wedding. He captured some artistic shots and super fun moments with family and friends attending our big day. -

Shannon Sent on 10/11/2023Very happy bride
Bill is incredible! Not only is he amazing at what he does, he’s also a good person. He is extremely professional and got everyone on the dance floor! He listened to all of our requests and mixed in similar songs. We are very picky with music and wanted more EDM and he gave us exactly what we were looking for along with the classics. The party could have lasted all night. I 10/10 recommend Black Tie for any event! -

Hannah Sent on 11/18/2021A great DJ to work with!
We hired Black Tie Entertainment for our wedding on 9/4/2021. Everything about the company was great. Bill kept in touch with us throughout the whole process, he responded to E-mails quickly and was always professional. We ended up having Mike as our DJ and again same result, he was great. We spoke several times before our big day to make sure everything was what we wanted from pronunciation of names, to clarifying our song choices and picking out music Mike was so great to work with. Fast forward to the day, Mike showed up early and had everything set up before guests arrived. Our family and friend are not big dancers but Mike got everyone out on the dance floor and having a great time. We are so glad we hired them for our wedding day.Black Tie Entertainment's reply:
Hannah thanks sooo much for the review. Hope the two of you are doing fantastic. Sept. 4 was a great night! Thanks for having BTE. -DJ Mike -

Mae S. Sent on 02/23/2020Thanks Bill & Black Tie!
We used Black Tie Entertainment for our wedding in December 2019 and were so glad we did. We don’t live in the Syracuse area, so we weren’t able to meet Bill until the day of our wedding, but we always felt like we were in good hands with him and Black Tie. From our first phone call with Bill about 7 months before the wedding, we felt really comfortable with Bill. He listened to all of our thoughts and concerns, and gave helpful recommendations when we asked for them (i.e. timing and order of events during our reception).
Most importantly, Bill & Black Tie exceeded our expectations the night of our wedding. We had mentioned to Bill that we wanted our reception to be lively with lots of dancing, and that’s exactly what happened. We received so many comments from our guests about how the DJ did a great job keeping the party going, and the dance floor was full almost the whole night. Additionally, Bill was very accommodating of our requests even on the day of the wedding. We had a couple last minute changes to the order of events and he said it was no problem and made us feel relaxed and comfortable. We also asked him during the reception if he could play a couple songs that we had forgotten to request ahead of time, and he was able to fit them all in.
We are so happy that we used Bill & Black Tie for our wedding! Thanks guys for a wonderful night!!!
Black Tie Entertainment's reply:
Mae & Billy,
Thank you so very much for the review. It was a pleasure working your event and I wish you all the best!!

Becky Sent on 08/08/2019Wonderful 50th Anniversary Party
We were very pleased with Bob and the music he played the night of our 50th anniversary party, at the Genesee Grande. The music was perfect for what we wanted. People commented how much they enjoyed the music and how they were able to talk without having the music drowning out their voices. They also loved the fact that Bob was able to take requests and play great music for dancing. I didn’t realize how important having the right DJ was until that night. It really helped to make the evening special. Thank you Bob! I highly recommend Black Tie Entertainment!

Tiffany Sent on 11/12/2018Amazing DJ, Easy to work with
Bill and his team are AMAZING. They were so easy to work with, and very helpful. Everything ahead of time was wonderful. Bill was very responsive and did a great job answering any questions that we had. We got so many compliments on how amazing our DJ was. There were people on the dance floor all night. It was the perfect combination of music that worked for all of the guests at our wedding. Our parents and older guests had some fun and classic hits that they loved but there were also newer songs that we loved and our younger guests enjoyed. The music at the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and reception was all fantastic. Bill was on top of keeping things on schedule. He did a great job always checking in with us throughout the night, he was so professional and incredible. The uplighting was beautiful and was a really nice touch to the wedding. Thank you Bill!! -

Clarissa Sent on 07/26/2017My husband and I booked Black Tie Entertainment for our wedding and it was one of the best decisions we made! From start to finish, Bill was so insightful and made every last detail amazing. Bill himself DJed our wedding and did an absolutely awesome job! He took our (rather long) list of songs we wanted played and mixed in songs that fit right in. We never wanted to leave the dance floor! Along with the DJ service, we booked a photo booth and videographer through Black Tie Entertainment. The photo booth was a big hit at the reception and we can't wait to see the video. Thanks Bill and the rest of the Black Tie Entertainment crew for helping make our night absolutely amazing! -

Nadine Sent on 09/08/2015Absolutely amazing DJ service. Our DJ was fun and really hit it on the head, he played exactly what we wanted without having to give a detailed list of each song. He knows when to switch it up and kept the party going. Everything was perfect!
We also had the photo booth and we couldnt be happier. We have copies of all of the HD photos from the night all the props really made it fun! We have other weddings in this family coming up and we will definitely book them again! -
![Keri]()
Keri Sent on 11/09/2014I would recommend no one else. We ended up using the same DJ that my husband's sister used at her wedding ten years ago! Bill and Jim were both very professional and we had Jim as our DJ. They met our requests and built a relationship with us. Jim made our wedding a blast. Definitely a great choice. -
![Marina]()
Marina Sent on 08/14/2014We have nothing but positive things to say about Black Tie Entertainment! They did an absolutely fantastic job and went above and beyond to make our day special. We had several guests comment on how wonderful the DJ was throughout the night and even days following the wedding. Dj's are so much more than just music- so much thought was put into timing of speeches, our first dance- and it really made a huge difference on our big day. It was so nice to have someone who was experienced and I could trust to handle all of these things, our reception went perfectly in big part to Black Tie. We couldn't recommend them enough :) -

Jeannette Sent on 03/04/2012My husband is very particular about his tastes in music and found Black Tie Entertainment great to work with. They let us come up with our own play list of music from our ceremony to our cocktail time to our dinner reception and to our dance music. They sat down with my husband, reviewed his list, made helpful suggestions and accommodated our tastes.
They were good about communicating with us through out the whole process. They have a very extensive music selection. For the rare song we needed that they didn't have they were easy to work with about getting the music to them for our ceremony.
The best part was that they worked with you in terms of your style. My husband and I are not big on wedding games and some other traditional elements and they made sure to do everything to make sure to stick to our wants while keeping their fun, playful style. -
![Katie & Shawn]()
Katie Sent on 07/31/2011I can not rave more about Black Tie Entertainment and Bill! Bill was very prompt and knowledgeable from the beginning. We chose Black Tie specifically because Bill was outgoing and personable. We also got up-lighting and a monogram through them. The monogram and lighting made my wedding. It was GORGEOUS! Bill provided the music for the ceremony as well and it was perfect. Going on to the reception he was amazing, I told him what I wanted and he defiantly delivered. Very sweet and professional person, he genuinely cares about his clients, I would recommend this company to anyone! If there is one thing you should spend money on it’s your DJ and Black Tie is worth every penny. Thanks again Bill!! -

Samantha Sent on 10/27/2010These guys were awesome. They met with us whenever we needed to meet with them. They were super down to earth. They did a great job with music at our ceremony and reception. We left a lot of the music up to them, and they did a perfect job with it! I would reccommend these guys! -
![Kalei and Mehmet]()
Kalei Sent on 09/14/2010Bill and Mike were great to work with. Mike was our DJ for the night and he was very enthusiastic, fun, and "got the party started," even after working the entire day before doing our wedding. Black Tie responded to any of my emails and concerns and were very helpful in organizing the bridal party and order of things. We incorporated Turkish music throughout our reception and Mike was very flexible and more than willing to step out of his comfort zone, listen to our wants and concerns, and make our day exactly what we had hoped for and more. They were very reasonably priced, especially for how much they are responsible for. Our guests all really enjoyed Mike and the music, almost as much as we did! -

Jessica Sent on 07/21/2010I cannot rave enough about Bill from Black Tie Entertainment! He was a joy to work with from start to finish. He kept the dance floor packed with people who did not stop moving. Without hesitation, Bill is the man that you want to do your wedding! -

Hire Black Tie Entertainment, now!
If you are looking for the best DJ and entertainment in the area, then you have found it! Black Tie Entertainment is your vendor! They are incredible. Bill came highly recommended by our venue and other vendors. After our first call with him, we knew why. He was professional, organized and on his music game. We had a unique timeline and music choices, as my husband and I are both very into music. Bill understood it and knocked it out of the park. We also had him project our custom monogram onto the dance floor. We had multiple calls to review everything and he had everything in place and perfect for us. We are so grateful to have had him DJ for our wedding and be a part of our special day. The dance floor was constantly filled with our guests dancing, enjoying themselves, raving about the music and letting us know how cool our monogram looked. I will share professional photos when we have them! Thank you so much, Bill! -

Absolutely Best DJ Service
Black Tie Entertainment was the most amazing DJ service! Our wedding was months ago and we still have guests telling us that they have never danced that much at a wedding ever before! The dance floor was packed ALL night!! Bill was super responsive with our inquiry and very helpful in planning out the night! Our DJ for the night was Jose! He was AMAZING!! He kept the reception running smoothly and on time and made sure we had all of our important moments captured before our photographer left! The music was awesome!!! We provided a list of some of our favorite songs and Jose filled in the rest with more great music that we loved! He completely read the room all night and kept everyone up and dancing until the very end!!! We couldn’t be happier with our choice! And so thankful to Black Tie and Jose for the best night!!! -

Above and Beyond
Bill was wonderful to work with! He provided uplighting and DJ services for our ballroom reception and he surpassed our expectations. He made time to meet with us and check in with us throughout the planning process and he stuck to our music preferences and helped keep the evening running on a seamless schedule. He was friendly and professional and knew exactly when to provide suggestions based on his experience and he did not steer us wrong at all. We loved working with him and we love the memories he helped us make on the dance floor at our reception. -
