    Affordable, fun, progressive, quality, easy to work with!

    Having Cascade Live Events as our DJ vendor was easy, affordable, fun, affirming, and common-sense. We booked Mike Steltz, Co-Founder, as our DJ. Where to start!

    First off, Mike was SO affordable for what we were looking for; we built a custom package based on our specific needs, and he was flexible + priced it reasonably.

    Second, Mike was flexible and chill about changes along the way; we postponed a year due to COVID concerns, and after a quick chat he promptly sent us a subcontract confirming the new dates. No hassle at all! And day-of he was laid-back and professional when inclement weather forced us to relocate the dance floor.

    We also want to note that as an LGBT couple Cascade Live Events felt LGBT friendly + affirming. We were transparent about ourselves from the first conversation, and explained we also had a lot of LGBT community coming; Mike used our pronouns, was comfortable + enjoyed playing the queer music we asked for, and worked hard to make us + our guests feel comfortable and affirmed the day of. Mike is NOT your corny old man DJ playing at a long island wedding (lol): he is young, super chill, and easy to work with.

    Fourth, Mike did a good job staying in touch with the audience on the dance floor. He played the tunes we asked for, but he didn't act as a living spotify playlist; he remixed some FIRE tunes, and pulled from similar genres+time periods to keep the energy up on the dance floor. He was in tune with the vibe of the party! At our request he had obscure gay club songs AND interspersed more familiar tunes. As a testiment to Mike's skills the dance floor was open for 3 hours and even though we had a small guest count we had 9 people dancing till the very end.

    Cannot recommend this vendor highly enough!

    (Side note: it was important to us that all our vendors had dinner, breaks, and a fun time too. Cascade Live Events did have dinner written in their contract, but not everyone did. Vendors are also human beings, and they were integral parts of our wedding! We encourage all wedding couples, regardless of who they book [tho u SHOULD book Cascade Live Events lol], to also be considerate and chill with their vendors. It makes a huge difference & reduces stress for everyone the day of. :))

    Truly amazing experience!

    We are SO happy we went with Cascade Live Events! Going into our wedding, I mostly just hoped the DJ experience would be smooth and they'd play fun music; after our wedding, I am blown away by how much the Cascade Live team became a core memory from our weekend! Mike was incredible to work with throughout the planning process - he was prompt and professional at all times, offered great suggestions, and adapted the plan to whatever we wanted. Honestly, we liked working with him so much that we were sad to learn he wouldn't be the DJ himself at our wedding - but then we met Slade and Eddie on our day of, and they were truly phenomenal. They brought so much joy and energy to the dance floor without making it about themselves - seriously, they looked like they were having the time of their lives, and our guests absolutely loved them. Could not recommend highly enough!

    09/16/2023- Garnet Hill Lodge Wedding

    From the very first contact with Cascade Live Events, they were very quick, professional, and personable with their response. All the questions that Rachel and I had were answered completely and directly.
    On the day of our wedding, they showed up exactly when they said they would. We got to meet Mike and Ethan, and after exchanging handshakes, they went right to work with the venue, setting up all speakers and microphones. All the music requests for the processional, and the reception were perfectly set up and accommodated all of our needs with no need for any direction from us. The timing for speeches and music went perfectly. They were even able to accommodate us with an extra hour of music on the Dance floor the day of. All we had to do was give them our taste in music genres, and they ran with it and read the room perfectly.
    If you want your wedding to go as smoothly as ours did, I would highly highly recommend contacting Cascade Live Events.

    Cascade Live Events is Awesome

    We do not have enough good things to say about Mike and his Team! From our initial call to the last song of the night, Mike kept us informed and at ease. Our friends and family were on the dance floor all night with Mike working his magic behind the DJ booth. We could not be happier that we chose Cascade Live Events for our wedding--Mike truly helped make it a day we will never forget!

    Hire these guys!

    Chris and Ethan did an amazing job as the DJ and MC for our wedding! All of our guests commented on how fun and perfect the music was during the event. Chris made sure to play the type of music that we wanted when we wanted it, and was frequently in touch to make sure that everything was perfect for our special day. Highly recommend this wonderful company for all of your wedding entertainment needs!

    Incredible services!! Above and beyond in all areas

    Mike and the whole team at Cascade are AMAZING! From the moment we reached out to them, everything throughout the process was easy, seamless, and so supportive. The DJ setup was incredibly professional and high tech, while not overbearing or overwhelming. Everyone at the wedding, from our friends to our grandparents, had a great time with the music from start to finish, and the Cascade team was very receptive to shaping the playlist to our desired vibe. They hit it perfectly, despite it being difficult to articulate exactly what we wanted! Mike is an incredibly smooth and natural MC, which made the whole day run together very naturally. I never expected this from my DJ, but he was an incredibly calming presence throughout the day, helping us and our officiant work through logistics and feel more comfortable whenever we saw him. The audio setup for the ceremony was top tier, with crystal clear speakers and a professional-level wireless setup for our officiant. Cascade was able to support all of our band's audio needs in a remote area, and they were even able to bring along a big-screen TV to project some our own videos and pictures. Payment was easy and the communication process leading up to the event was clear, proactive, and professional. I couldn't have asked for a better overall experience and highly recommend Cascade for anyone and any event!

    Excellent DJs and MCs!

    We loved having Mike and Slade DJ and MC our wedding! They were both very professional and communicated really well with us, both ahead of time and on our wedding night. They played great music and kept things really engaging. It was actually hard to leave the dance floor! We were also impressed with how compact and unobtrusive their setup was, even though they had great sound quality. Thank you Cascade Live Events for helping make our wedding night a blast!

    The best!

    I got married in early October of this year. I hired Cascade for both their livestream and DJ packages.

    They were available, flexible, and professional in every stage of planning my wedding. My venue and time of ceremony and reception changed on very short notice and they were so willing to work with us and adapt to our new plans and very easy to get in contact with.

    The livestream was amazing and got placed right on my Facebook! Growing up it has never occurred to me that I would be getting married without a lot of my family and my closest friends with me but because of the livestream they felt like they where there! I have gotten so many compliments from family and friends that could not come due to COVID-19. They were so detailed in making sure every part of my ceremony was seen and heard. It seemed like they knew the details of my wedding better then I did. Their quality blew past any expectations I had, I have watched multiple livestream weddings during this time, and I would say that mine was the best! (Bias of course haha) They are a must hire in the time of COVID-19 so that your “guests” are able to enjoy your wedding day even without being there.

    At my reception they were even better! Mike was great as a MC, we were so pleased with his attention to detail and the crowd. He created some special and memorable moments for us. Mike was very professional and managed all the reception events with care and worked seamlessly with the coordinator. Everyone had a great time!

    Thank you so much for your amazing services in livestreaming and DJing and of course patience as we worked through the process with all the changes. I would highly recommend them for any of their services.

    Fast problem solving.

    These guys were phenomenal! We hired them to livestream our wedding ceremony because many of our family and friends were not able to attend due to covid restrictions. They were accommodating and helpful through the whole process. We found that the barn venue we were using was lacking in both Wifi and cellular connectivity before the event, making it hard to guarantee the best streaming quality. They assured us that they would do their best to stream the event, but would also plan to upload the footage later if streaming did not go according to plan.
    They film crew arrived well before the ceremony to setup their equipment and made sure to ask questions pertaining to the order of service.
    Thirty minutes before our outdoor ceremony was set to begin, the sky turned dark and the rain started to pour. The crew didn't miss a beat and moved all their equipment inside and they were ready to film within the time that everyone else was set to begin. With the fast change of plans, they were not able to get the livestream going, but the footage was uploaded and posted to our choice of social media within an hour of the ceremony finishing.
    We love the video and greatly appreciate all that the guys at Cascade Live Events did to capture such a special day in our lives.

    Hire Cascade Now!!

    When we realized we were going to have to change our plans due to COVID, it was so important to us to be able to have all those we could no longer have at our wedding be able to tune in.
    We reached out to Cascade Live Events and we were beyond thrilled with our livestream! The team was so thorough in making sure we had everything covered to ensure the best possible video stream of our ceremony. They were on time and always professional, giving input on how to best set up our ceremony for the best viewing experience online, making sure our internet connection was stable and meeting with us well ahead of time to go over everything.
    The day of our wedding was 90+ degrees and with elements outside their control, the team was able to cool down overheating equipment and give a seamless video straight to our personal Facebook pages for our friends and family to watch.
    They were so incredible, from video, audio, an amazing opener shot as guests waited for the ceremony to start, and covering all angles without disrupting the flow of the ceremony.
    I would HIGHLY recommend using Cascade Live Events. They are excellent videographers and live production technicians who go above and beyond to give you the best quality video of your day. You won't regret it!

    A Friendly Expert

    We hired Mike from Cascade for our daughter’s wedding in Upstate NY and cannot begin to convey how pleased we were.

    From the preparation and planning to all the work on the day of the wedding, his expertise and professionalism allowed us to sit back and just enjoy our family’s big day!

    We highly recommend Mike & team at Cascade for any needs you may have for your big day or event... thanks Mike!

    Cascade: Experts in every detail

    The whole team was a pleasure to collaborate with from start to finish. Mike and Chris showed an extremely high level of professionalism, fast to respond, and precise with our details. This being my second wedding and interviewing many other DJs, I knew what to look for and Mike quickly stood out to me. He’s the only DJ who prides himself in audio quality and clarity and with having an outdoor ceremony, it was important to us for our guests to actually hear our ceremony. How many times have you attended a ceremony only to barely hear anything from the bride and groom? Probably too many. I talked with guests who sat in the back and they had zero issues hearing anything. This was also the first wedding that Cascade had at our venue, and even then, their setup was professional and they were ready for any challenge.

    Not only the ceremony, but the reception was also flawless. Mike was a lively MC, very energetic with all our guests, and knew how to work the room. Mike and Chris took our playlists, worked off of them, and flowed them with the vibe of the room. They are collaborative in nature and played a great mix of songs. The whole team was partying themselves while DJ’ing and we all definitely feed off of DJs also having a great time. Another add-on we had was having Chris drum along to the songs towards the later half of the reception. It added a completely different aspect I never experienced at weddings that gives familiar songs a new feel. Chris even had us drum along (despite me and my wife having no rhythm haha).

    Those were the details and we have no regrets with going with the Cascade team. From the first conversation all the way until the end of the wedding, we were fully confident and ecstatic with working with Mike, Chris, and Slade!
