    Wedding Day

    We booked cool receptions for our special day and they exceeded expectations. The 360 booth was a guest favorite. They also provided lighting, sound amplification, and DJ/MC for the reception. The team was professional, prompt, and great with our guest.

    Amazing dj diesel + special effects!

    DJ Diesel was the most amazing DJ we could have ever imagined!!! We had a dry wedding reception yet, everyone was on the dance floor and DJ Diesel kept the party going the whole time!! He was the best DJ we could have hoped for. We highly recommend him. Also, Cool Receptions provided the most amazing special effects to enhance our day. All of our guests were amazed and still talking about how spectacular it was!

    Cool Receptions is the best! From the beginning David, the owner, was soooo professional and fun! We requested our college DJ, DJ Diesel and we were LIT! The cold sparks added such a beautiful touch to the first dance! We recommend!!

    Everything Plus More

    From the 1st conversation with David/DJ Paradime, I knew we were in good hands. Always responsive and very personable. We use their DJ services, photo booth, and smoke machine and everything was AMAZINGGGG!!! The photo booth was a major hit and the attendant was on point! We almost forgot we had the photobooth because DJ Lil Vegas kept us on the dance floor, like literally all night, until it was time to get out! His MC kept the party lit, the dance floor was NEVER empty. The smoke clouds added that personal romance for our first dance. Listen Cool Receptions helped make our day EVERYTHING we wanted plus more. Don't hesitate, just book!!!

    Great to work with!

    Cool Receptions DJ was great to work with. They were in touch with us throughout the process, making sure they had everything they need from us and were responsive to all our questions as well. They worked well with our day of planner to make sure everything ran smoothly throughout the ceremony, cocktail hour and the reception. They provide all their own equipment and microphones, and moved from area to the next with ease. We had three different set ups during our wedding and I wasn’t stressed at all that all of them were covered. Everyone had a great time on the dance floor and they really made sure to get to know us and the music we liked, making the whole night feel very personal.

    The perfect ceremony, cocktail hour and reception!

    Our daughter and new son-in-law’s wedding day was made extra special because of the DJ/music. The ceremony had 3 different songs, one of which was a recording of the bride singing! It was flawless! The DJ introduced the couple and the speakers at the beginning of the reception. Everyone enjoyed the first dances and the music/dancing in the Barn throughout the evening! The lines of communication were always open. They were quick to answer questions. The equipment was moved to 3 different locations with no hiccups. Highly recommend this company!

    Looking good has never been easier!

    We helped decorate my friends 40th birthday. We ordered a 4 and 0 to sit next to a balloon display. The numbers were delivered and set right up on time and quickly. It was such a great addition to the display. 100% recommend this company and product!

    DJ Trellz and Cool Receptions are the BEST

    We hired Cool Receptions for our wedding and it was an absolutely great decision, and we would highly recommend them to anyone! They were able to accommodate us when we postponed once due to covid, and then deal with us when the nightmare scenario of me actually getting covid four days before the rescheduled date and having to postpone again. When we called in a panic at having to reschedule again, they were so reassuring and kind and instantly told us they would take care of us and inquired about my health and whether my fiancé was doing okay, which was so appreciated. Then, I forgot to actually confirm the rescheduled date with them since I thought I had mentioned it but had not, and only informed them of the actual new date a week out- OOPS. I was so worried that we were going to not have a DJ because of my mistake but they instantly told us that they would make it work, and DJ Trellz actually ended up flying to NC from Atlanta the morning of our wedding to be able to be there for us! They are truly super dedicated to their clients and I'm so, so grateful for them. On top of that, Trellz is an absolutely fantastic DJ and got the exact vibe that got our guests dancing, and many guests said that he was their favorite part of the night! Thank you Trellz!! Hire them!

    We are so happy we hired Cool Receptions for our wedding celebration!! When we met, I told DJ Paradime for my wedding, I wanted to dance! He delivered!

    The absolute best experience

    We had the absolute best wedding thanks to Cool Receptions!! They knew exactly when to play what music and knew what we liked and kept in the genre. Their commentary during the wedding kept everyone on the dance floor having the BEST time, even got my dad in the middle of the dance circle. We loved every second of working with Cool Receptions and you NEED to book them right now!! Best decision we made!! We also used them for our Photo Booth and everyone loved that as well!
    Thanks so much for THE BEST WEDDING!!

    Love The Bodines

    Amazing DJ Experience!

    We were so happy with how our daughter's wedding celebration turned out, and DJ Paradime was a huge part of the success of the party! He paid attention to the music tastes of the newlyweds, and was great at reading the crowd (20-somethings to 60-somethings!) and playing songs that everyone wanted to hear. And the feedback from everyone was consistent..."best party, best time!" Totally professional, friendly, fun, and top notch DJ! We would recommend him for any party or event!

    Wedding Dj

    We hired Cool Receptions for our February wedding and they knocked it out of the park!! I found them through Instagram and just loved the energy that they brought to their events! They have multiple Djs and do an EXCELLENT job pairing you up with someone for your event! We worked with Dj Diesel and he was FANTASTIC!! He kept the energy up and was such a great MC. My husband and I are from different cultures and our DJ did such a great job of playing music for both our cultures! They were so quick to respond and easy to work with! If you’re looking for great entertainment hire Cool Receptions. Our guest are still talking about how great our Dj was! You won’t be disappointed!!

    The absolute BEST!!

    Hiring Cool Receptions was the best decision I made for my wedding reception. I knew as soon as I started wedding planning, I wanted our reception to be unforgettable and keep everyone on the dance floor all night. During our first call, David understood my vision and was probably more excited for my reception than I was lol. Working with Cool Receptions was great because they provided packages that included everything I needed for my reception. Cool Reception provided my photo booth, cold sparklers, uplighting, sound system and DJ. The cold sparklers was a great addition to our grand entrance and to the reception. Our photobooth was a great addition as well, our guests loved the single photo print outs they received that came in color or black and white. I also loved receiving the digital photos from the photo booth, to see all of my guests having a great time.
    Picking a DJ for my reception was easy because each DJ had their own profile and I could see and listen to their previous receptions. I selected DJ Lil Vegas and Lynx and they were the absolute best, they really set the tone and vibe for my reception. Vegas created a playlist for my cocktail hour and the whole reception that my guest loved and were literally asking for the playlist at the end of the reception. Lynx kept my guest's energy high and had them ready to dance.
    I highly recommend Cool Receptions to anyone, they are the best investment for any reception or party.

    Everyone loved the DJ

    It took me forever to find a DJ. I started looking on IG and cam across Cool Receptions. From there, I reached out to schedule our consultation and book them for the wedding. They had to travel to the OBX, so we greatly appreciated that. There was only one mix up, but it was only something my husband and I would know. Then for the reception DJ Paradime killed it. Everyone was on the dance floor for the night. Our friends loved him and had a blast.

    The best choice

    We booked Cool Receptions for our October 2021 wedding. It was so easy to work with Dj Paradime throughout the entire process. He was easy to communicate with, available, and transparent. Our wedding guests are still talking about the wedding and how great the party was. We are so happy with how the entire day and all the music and MCing came out

    Hands down DJ Dime had our reception rocking so hard. Our guest had the best time, we danced hard and enjoyed the entire night. Would most certainly hire him and Cool Receptions again.

    Best Party Ever

    Dj Diesel was incredible! We could not have asked for a better Dj. He listened to all of our request and made sure that the party never died down. So many guest complimented us on how “live” the party remained all night! Dj Diesel felt like family and we were super happy with his skills!
