Hands down the best company to work with! The customer service from the beginning to end really says a lot about company values and you can just tell Encore strives with that. I went to 3 previous weddings where John was the DJ, and all were great so when it was my time I knew we had to have him be our DJ, and he exceeded all my expectations for the night! Our dance floor had people dancing from dinner until the very end, everyone’s legs were hurting the following day from dancing so much! My husband who isn’t even a dancer was on the dance floor and maybe even a few tables all night! Make wedding planning that much easier and choose Encore! -

We booked Jordan for our wedding and she was an absolutely amazing person to work with! We had a few meetings leading up to the wedding and she helped us with our schedule. We had amazing vendors but she was easily the most helpful and responsive vendor we had! Her energy day of was amazing and contagious! We received so many compliments about our DJ from various people. Truly the best decision we made for our wedding! -

Encore Events is a unique business with many DJs with different styles to choose from, based on what you’re looking for on your wedding day. The “viewing parties” were a cool option allowing you to hear each DJ and get an idea of their services. They also have add-on services like videography and lighting (though we didn’t make use of these for our event). The planning portal was a convenient way to keep track of all the details as well as song selections (must play, do not play, etc). It also contained a tool to search for artists and songs for the reception and ceremony by, for example, decade or popularity, which was very helpful. We chose Stephanie Hyde as our DJ, and she was a total pleasure to work with - she’s a very fun person to be around and she did amazing with the song selections and ensuring special requests were done at the right moments. The ceremony, intros, dances, and reception music sounded great and the run-of-show was smooth and flawless. Would highly recommend! -

Planning with Encore was one of my favorite parts of wedding planning. Rich and his entire team are the most professional, organized and fun group of people to work with. They were extremely helpful, attentive and creative. My husband and I loved having meetings with Rich to discuss our wedding day and putting our dreams into real life. Come the day of, Encore arrived early and were more than prepared. The staff was even asking if we needed anything well before the ceremony and while we were taking pictures. Rich is a long time friend and treated us like royalty! My husband and I remember the small details like him pulling out our chairs to sit down, laying out our napkins, getting us drinks from the bar, etc. on top of keeping the day on schedule and keeping our guests entertained. We did not leave the dance floor… maybe once for a restroom break! Our family and friends continue to talk about our wedding almost a month later and always mention how awesome our DJ was! We agree! Although I am relieved to be free of wedding planning, I wish we could plan another day with Encore! Xoxo -

I can easily say that Encore Events was one of our favorite vendors to work with for our wedding!
Review of the company as a whole:
We are from the Philadelphia area got married at Turning Stone Resort Casino in May. We actually found Encore Events at the wedding expo that TS was holding, Steph was preforming and Mikey was working the crowd – as soon as we heard Steph’s mix we knew we wanted Encore to be a part of our wedding! When talking to Mikey he mentioned the virtual open house that Encore does once a month and we thought that idea was amazing – since we lived 4+ hours away from their offices. The open house we attended was a blast – we got to listen to a bunch of their DJs, in the comfort of our own home, while still getting to interact with a few of the DJs who were also on the open house for that night.
Encore Events truly isn’t lying when they say you become part of the Encore Family when you sign with them. We worked with so many members of their team throughout our wedding planning and we truly feel we developed relationships with each person we worked with! Everyone is super responsive either via email or text message, which we also loved.
Encore throws a VIP event, where you can see your wedding DJ in action – we attended the Spring event just before our wedding and it was such an amazing night. Drinks were flowing, people were dancing, the vibes were incredible – and it was a mini preview of how our wedding would turn out. (This event was definitely worth the 4.5 hour drive and the speeding ticket that was encountered on the way 😂)
We also added a photobooth package with Encore Events and Jordan was super helpful when it came to explaining all the different packages they had to offer
Review of our wedding DJ – John Roach:
John was incredible to work with and our guests are still talking about how good the music was at our wedding! He was so easy to talk to from the beginning of our wedding planning right up to the end. We had John custom mix our first dance and also our Mother/Groom dance and they were both done perfectly! We experienced some unexpected weather and ended up getting married in a total downpour but John rolled with the punches and the audio for our ceremony sounded exactly as it would have in perfect weather. We also had some last minute changes for my bridesmaid intro and John was able to make those changes on the fly without a problem!

We highly recommend Encore Events! They were extremely professional and reliable, easy to plan and communicate with, and brought a lively, positive energy to our wedding. We had peace of mind with our ceremony sound and microphone needs, and the dance floor was super fun during the reception! The online planning portal and meetings with your DJ really ensure that all the details are covered ahead of time so that you can enjoy your dress stress-free! Mickey was helpful and experienced with any questions we had throughout the planning process. He was also receptive to our song requests and was able to cater to the various music genres/decades we were going for during the cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing portions of the night. Encore is an awesome vendor to work with! -

Choosing to hire Encore to be a part of our wedding day was the best decision. Encore was a vendor I never once worried about. From the very beginning, their communication was timely and they were invested. Rich took a lot of time in our first meeting to learn about us and our vision. We then loved the opportunity to select our DJ by attending a zoom that allowed you to listen to all of their djs and their style. We found this to be an added perk. From there, we decided to hire Mickey and thank goodness we did! Not only is he phenomenal at his job of being a DJ with smooth transitions and keeping the dance floor alive, but he is a genuine person who checked in on us multiple times throughout our planning process as well as our wedding day. We received so many compliments of about our DJ and feel grateful that we had the experience we did. We also chose to use the sparkler fountains, which we loved. We also had a Photo Booth through encore and found Jordan to be wonderful to work with as she helped us choose what package would work best for us. The Photo Booth was a highlight of the night for many and having these memories forever is something I will cherish. I will hands down be recommending encore and referring anyone looking for a DJ. We were truly blessed with the best! -

Ray Tiano was our wedding DJ, and he was absolutely PHENOMENAL. We had a Halloween wedding, and he happened to have some themed playlists from events past... it was just great working with someone who was as enthused about our wedding theme as we were. He just GOT US in a way that really impressed us and got us extra hyped for the big day. Then, come the wedding, Ray was very kind and attentive. Throughout the night, he checked in on us to ask how things were going, how we were doing, if we wanted a vibe change, etc. He was very personable and knowledgeable, and a talented emcee who hit all the right marks, flawlessly cued the song selections chose for special moments... And then the party started, and he blew the roof off. Our photographer, who was in from out of town and has shot hundreds of weddings, made a point to tell us how awesome Ray was. She said, "I told him if he worked in my state, I would recommend him to everyone. One of the best wedding DJs I've ever seen." He really kept the party alive all night. The dance floor got more crowded as the night went on, rather than less. Multiple people came up to us late in the evening to say goodbye, only for Ray to spin a new track that made our guests go, "Nevermind, staying for this one," and then hanging around until the end of the night. Encore was also incredibly organized and responsive to questions, with their periodic automated emails, tips, and reminders. One of the best, easiest wedding decisions we made. Thank you for making our wedding a night everyone will remember! -

Amazing experience - couldn’t have asked for more!
Encore Events and our DJ Ray were always on top of things and responsive when we had a question. I never had to worry about anything with them and Ray had the dance floor packed all night - it was hard to get people off! Ray was awesome on the mic and all of our guests raved about the music and the whole experience. They helped make our day so special! -
