    Nonstop Dancing, 10/10 Would Recommend

    We recently used Richie Hart Events for our wedding on November 23, and they made our day absolutely unforgettable! Kevin was an incredible MC - 10/10 would recommend! He paced the night perfectly and kept the energy high from start to finish. Eddie, the DJ, was amazing as well - the music was perfect, and our guests danced all night - truly no one wanted the party to end.

    Richie Hart and his team are professional, talented, and an absolute joy to work with. Richie made sure everyone was available to meet in the weeks leading up to our wedding to ensure we were all on the same page about the music and timeline. Eddie and Kevin incorporated all of our specific song requests and blended them seamlessly with the vibes we were going for.

    Our guests can’t stop talking about how much fun our wedding was, and we owe that entirely to Eddie and Kevin at Richie Hart Events. If you want a wedding full of unforgettable memories and non-stop fun, we would 100% recommend Eddie as your DJ and Kevin as your MC with Richie Hart Events!

    family and friends are still raving about how the entertainment was the best they have ever seen and the wedding was the most fun party they have ever

    We recently hired Richie Hart Events as the music-entertainment vendor for my son and daughter-in-law’s wedding on August 16th, 2025. In fact this was the second time that we’ve used this company, having hired them for my other son’s wedding seven years earlier. First off, thank you Richie with providing us with Master-of -Ceremonies extroadanaire, Brian Miller to direct, perform, and make our children’s wedding the sensationally, unforgettably memorable affair that it was ! Our family and friends are still raving about how the entertainment was the best they have ever seen and the wedding was the most fun party they have ever attended. The music was wonderful and Brian made sure the whole affair was fun, start to finish. I cannot recommend Brian enough as the MC. The dj was sensational as well. My wife and I made several song requests - our wedding song from 40 years ago, the obscure, “Longer Than,” by Dan Fogelberg, and my other son/daughter-in-law’s wedding song ( ‘Perfect,” -Ed Sheeran/Beyonce ) and Brian made sure both songs were played … immediately ! The dance floor was filled all day long. The MC, Brian Miller, exceeded our expectations beyond our wildest imagination, keeping the party exciting all the way to the end. Also, they provided the perfect music for the ceremony, cocktail hour and throughout the reception. The MC, Brian Miller, exceeded our expectations beyond our wildest imagination. Also, they provided the perfect music for the ceremony, cocktail hour and throughout the reception. We would recommend Richie Hart Events to anyone seeking the perfect music-entertainment company for a wedding, or any other large affair. You will certainly NOT reject the choice. Be sure to insist on having Brian Miller as your Master-if-Ceremonies. Also, thank you for the wonderful wedding trailer.

    Best Wedding DJ & MC EVER!

    Wow! DJ Cecil and MC Geronimo were out of this world! First off, Richie was so responsive from day one. He was so detailed, prompt, and always a joy to talk to. I can not thank Richie Hart Events enough for making my wedding day the best party ever!

    Richie Hart was a great DJ. to use!!!

    This is our second time using Richie Hart. He really listened to what we wanted and made some suggestions. I needed to change the time on that day and it wasn’t a problem, Richie is so easy to work with. We decided to add a percussionist and a sax player and they only added to the great experience. Everyone was so professional but yet fun.

    Incredible experience with Richie Hart & team!

    I got married at the Garden City Hotel last year. I hired Richie's wife, Debbie, to be my wedding planner/day-of coordinator, as she came highly recommended by the venue. I then chose to hire Richie Hart Events for my music as he was highly regarded and known as a reputable vendor. (It is worth noting that Debbie did *not* make me feel pressured at all to hire Richie. She was incredibly supportive of any choice I made). I couldn't be happier with my experience with both Debbie and Richie. My wedding was the most perfect night of my life. Richie provided us with a lovely violinist and keyboardist for the ceremony and the most wonderful DJ/band hybrid and MC for the evening that kept the party going all night long. I am still getting compliments on my wedding music over a year later! Richie was incredibly responsive and thoughtful throughout the wedding planning process and recommended wonderful music choices for both my ceremony and reception. Richie was so kind and flexible during the planning process. He provided me with many options to enhance my wedding reception but never made me feel pressured into adding anything I didn't need. I whole-heartedly recommend Richie Hart Events (and Debbie Hart!) to anyone planning an event. If I could have my wedding all over again, I would choose them again and again.

    Exceptional company!

    Richie Hart Events was a preferred vendor of our wedding venue. We decided to hire them as our entertainment, after having researched several other companies. After our initial in-person meeting with Richie Hart, we felt extremely confident that he and his team would bring our vision to life. In speaking with several friends who are DJs themselves or frequently work with entertaining companies, we felt very relieved when everyone's response to our hiring Richie Hart Events was, "Wow, you made the best choice!" We were an enthusiastic and excited party group who wished to see the dance floor occupied all night. The team brought it!!! We hired a DJ, MC and two live musicians (saxophonist and percussionist) and they were PHENOMENAL! Our guests were on the dance floor from start to end, and the compliments that we received regarding Richie Hart Events were innumerable. Prior to the wedding, Richie Hart Events sends out a wedding formalities document, to be completed with special song requests and other differing reception requests - They met all of ours!!! We are an Italian, Irish, Australian family and had requested some songs specific to our backgrounds, and Richie Hart delivered! You will NOT be disappointed with this team! They are true entertainers and genuinely wanted us to have the best night of our lives. I cannot speak any more highly of their professionalism and execution! They've been a successful business in the industry for many years and it is no surprise why they are so reputable! Thank you for playing a huge part in our special day!!!!

    What a great experience!

    Richie Hart and his staff were wonderful! Richie is warm and friendly and very attentive (and genuine!) We were so lucky to find them. The MC at our wedding with Chris "CoCo"; he was exceptional! More than willing to work with us on our music choices, to help make our wedding everything we imagined! DJ Kool held it down! A complete honor to work with everyone there! We have received nothing but positive feedback from our guests!

    The BEST entertainment company to hire!

    We chose a DJ, MC, a flutist and violinist ( for our ceremony) along with a saxophonist and a percussionist for the reception. Richie and Jill could not have been any nicer in helping to organize our wedding day. They were an incredible team to work with. We wanted much of a Disco/ Motown feel because that’s the music we love! Till this day, a month later people are talking about how incredible the music was. We gave the DJ most of our choices for music and he filtered in the rest. Geronimo was our MC and he was phenomenal. Everyone loved him. The whole team made our night full of energy. They were just incredible. I would highly recommend them for your next party.

    My Guests are still raving about the entertainment

    I have known Richie for many years ❤ I have worked for him as a dancer for events and knew how amazing he and his team are. Needless to say, his team made our wedding the PARTY that we wanted. We did a DJ hybrid with a MC, Saxophone, and Percussionist. They were AMAZING. My guests are still raving about how the entertainment was the best they have ever seen and our wedding was the most fun party they have ever been to. The music was amazing and each entertainer blew us out of the water. My friend Brian (aka TwoNice) MCed the wedding and my friend now wants to hire him for her wedding - I always knew how incredible he is but I loved hearing it first hand from my guests. In addition, my friend John Ward was the percussionist, and he is unbelievable. He killed it! And so many friends and family members have videos of playing the drums with him. The dance floor was packed the entire night - a handful of guests didn’t even eat because they had so much fun partying and dancing. We also had a photobooth through Richie Hart, and all the guests loved it! We had the black and white photos that looked like the Kardashian photo booth pictures - we received all copies via email B&W and colored. If anyone is on the fence about getting a photobooth, if it is within your budget, GET IT. I didn’t get the chance to take many photos with guests except the photo booth. In addition, so many family members forgot to take pictures, but have a ton of photo booth pictures. It is totally worth the investment. Everyone was dancing the whole night, but people loved the idea of grabbing a drink and running over to the photobooth and taking some pictures.

    Non-Stop Party

    Richie Hart and his team DELIVERED! We did a hybrid setup for our wedding, including an MC, singer, percussionist, and saxophone player…and, just, wow! The party was non-stop!!! I wish I could recall the names of everyone who worked our wedding because they were top notch!!! Working with Richie was stress free and easy, I never his doubted his talents and therefore, trusted his team would not disappoint. I never left the dance floor on my wedding day and I wouldn’t change a thing. Thank you Richie!

    Amazing experience

    We came across Richie Hart services through a recommendation from somebody else. I am a Latina and my husband is American, so we needed our wedding music to have a good mix of both our cultures. I explained this to Richie on our initial phone call and he said he had the perfect guy who completely understood my culture. He was right! He put us in contact with DJ Eddie! We also decided to have a percussionist for the reception. He put us in contact with John Ward. Best decision my husband and I made. They were both sooo amazing! They had everybody at our wedding dancing ALL NIGHT LONG! And I mean all night long, from all backgrounds and all ages, everybody was dancing. Eddie and John made our wedding so special and fun, everybody was playing with John (who, by the way, is an amazing salsa dancer). Eddie kept the beat going the whole time with minimal announcements, which is what we wanted. It did not feel like they were working, they were a part of it all and were having as much fun as everybody else on the party, which was a nice feeling for us. It was just perfect, Richie made sure to check in with us and made sure everything went well and all things considered we thought the pricing of it all was very fair. The next day, my husband and I said the music services was probably the best money we spent on the wedding preparations. A day I will never forget and Eddie and John are a big part of that. Thanks Richie for such excellent service!

    My Wedding Entertainment Services

    I came across Richie Hart Events when I was desperately looking for my upcoming wedding entertainment. After I watched their videos, I knew exactly Richie Hart Events would not disappoint me. Richie Hart is one of the nicest person I worked with. Richie Hart Events had an amazing DJ, MC and a saxophonist who performed so well at my wedding I was getting a lot of compliments from my guests. I'm so grateful I had a pleasure working with the team and would highly recommend for an amazing entertaining experience. Thank you so much again to Richie Hart Events for making my day so special.

    April Weddinf

    We hired Richie Hart and DJ Loyal for our micro wedding in April 2021. To say that Richie Hart Events is amazing is a major understatement. We had to change our original wedding plans to accommodate the NY State guidelines and we were worried about being able to find a DJ at the last minute. We called Richie and he was unbelievably kind and helpful. He reassured us immediately and was able to schedule DJ Loyal to work at our wedding. DJ Loyal kept the party going the entire time and kept everyone on the dance floor! We will be working with Richie Hart Events for our larger October reception as well and I am so excited to plan the event because he was so easy to work with. Thank you, Richie for helping us celebrate!

    A highly professional and easy-to-work-with team!

    It was wonderful to work with Richie Hart and his team. From the very beginning, we knew what we wanted sound and light-wise and Richie did an amazing job bringing our vision to life! We went over everything in detail several times with him, as well as with the awesome DJ that Richie referred us to. Organizing a wedding is always a difficult and stressful process, but with Richie's help, it all came together beautifully and the process, as well as the results were exciting and simply perfect!! The sound, the equipment, the lighting and the team that worked our wedding were all great! You can rely on them and know that they'll do their best to make your dreams come true!!

    Our Wedding Reception - Everyone LOVED the music!

    Our DJ, Russell, played the exact songs we wanted and kept our afternoon party alive the whole time! Our family and friends had an amazing day and are still talking about it 2 weeks later. We also had Danny play the sax and sing, and everyone said what a beautiful and special touch that was! I would definitely recommend him! We are very happy with Richie Hart and his team.
    Thank you to all for a job well done and for making our wedding reception extra special! :)

    Amazing! FUN! Experience !

    We used Richie Hart Events. And extremely glad we did. Our Mc was Brian Miller. In all honesty, Brian is hands down the BEST MC on the planet. No joke, with how many wedding we have been too and now ours... Brian made our night so much fun. Everyone loved him and wanted to take pictures with him lol. Brian and I ( the bride) even got to have a salsa dance moment and it was EPIC. Seriously i can not recommend Brian enough as the MC. The dj alone was great, we did ask for certain music that wasn’t all played. But! I will not at all complain cause he played BETTER music. He seriously pulled out the best jams. The dance floor never ended! We put our trust in that team to keep that floor going and I am so glad we did. They knew what to do and what not to do! Highly recommend.

    Engagment Party

    Hired the Harts (Richie and Debbie) after I already planned my daughter's engagement party but needed their help in decorating and setting up the venue. They had great suggestions and did an outstanding job. The room was transformed from blah to a high energy party setting. My daughter wanted a club atmosphere and it was delivered! From the lighted stage, bar and hight top tables to the taple settings and flowers, the room was they flush with club and high energy ambience. I would definetley recommend as they listen to what you envision and they deliver!

    Best Entertainment Company!

    The Richie Hart team was amazing! From start to finish they listened to everything we wanted. My fiance wanted an acoustic guitarist for the cocktail hour and he had a long list of songs that he wanted to be played. He played every song perfectly and I heard many compliments from my guests. The MC, Too Nice, was absolutely amazing! He kept the party going and got everyone out of their seats. He definitely made my wedding fun and memorable. I highly recommend having live musicians. Richie provided a drummer and saxophone players. All my guests loved interacting with them and banging on the drums. If you want an expert in the industry for your event, see Richie Hart and his team!

    “Richie Hart Events
    RH ENTERTAINMENT GROUP INC.
    6270 Northern Blvd.
    East Norwich NY 11732”

    Dear Richie,
    Fabulous. Exquisite. Outstanding. Crowd Pleasing Wedding Event, Musicians par excellence.

    David and I cannot express our pleasure, admiration, accolades and gratitude enough for the wonderful musical team you and Jill put together for us! Each musician’s performance was outstanding and perfect in their performance and presentation at our wedding event in November at the Guggenheim Mansion at the Village Club of Sands Point, Long Island.

    The Violinist Michael, and Pianist Marty, were a fantastic duo and I thank them for playing my selections for the Hospitality and Ceremony events. Everyone commented and appreciated their appropriate selections and expressed their favorable reactions to us.
    For the cocktail hour and reception, Danny as Sax and Vocalist was outstanding. The audience raved about his many talents, and the mood he created throughout was sensational. The music selections were perfect and the audience loved his foreground and background presence.

    Anthony as DJ followed our playlist perfectly and knew how to change up the music to both energize and entrance the guests. Guests of every age enjoyed hearing their favorite selections. All the entertainers were just wonderful.

    Geronimo the Motivator was the star... he skillfully engaged the guests, created enthusiasm and energy for the dances, and encouraged participation and spirited dancing for everyone. David commented that three women arrived with canes but Geronimo had all three up dancing on the dance floor before the event was over!!! That’s one for the record books!!!!

    Richie, we can’t thank you and Jill enough for your ability to understand our vision, and for your professional acumen to make it happen for us. We are extremely grateful and appreciative of your professional services. It was just perfect.

    And Richie, we are very grateful that you came and managed the
    Opening events at The Hospitality Hour and the Ceremony. That was very thoughtful and professional, and your personal attention calmed my nerves which set the tone for thoroughly enjoying my wedding day and for which I will be forever grateful. Everything was perfect and is very much appreciated.

    We also used Metro Florist you recommended in Great Neck and we were very pleased. The centerpieces were elegant and moderately priced. The bakery was St Honore in Port Washington, and the cake was delicious and beautiful.

    In closing, bravo to you both for an outstanding musical event.

    A heartfelt thank you to you and to all involved.

    Best,
    Cynthia and David.

    Best DJ, band, and entertainment company in the industry

    We want to thank Richie Hart from the bottom of our hearts. One of the memorable things my husband loved most about Richie is that immediately after the ceremony, Richie was right there to congratulate us with such enthusiasm. His energy is simply unmatched. I have never seen him without a huge smile on his face and you can just tell how unbelievably passionate he is about what he does. We knew that his band and DJ would be amazing, but they exceeded our expectations and absolutely blew us away. Their band is the best I have ever seen in my life. Their singers and musicians are so incredibly talented and are able to engage the crowd. The dance floor was packed all night. If I had to describe this company in one word, it would be charismatic. They are all so cool and down to earth and have a charm and energy that made the wedding so much fun. Their string quartet played so beautifully and their drummer was just having the time of his life!!! We are in awe at the delivery of their performance and we are just so grateful we found and chose Richie Hart. From Day 1 we felt like we were hanging out with friends instead of doing a business transaction, and that was a big part of what made the process so easy and effortless. We love you guys so much and if I could give you 10 million stars, I would, because you deserve it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Excellent DJ/Insteumental combo

    Richie Hart’s team is worth it. They kept the energy up at my wedding the whole time, and accommodated a large age range of people with their choice in music. I didn’t worry about a thing!

    WOW! Where do we begin? Richie Hart Events was everything we had hoped for and more with our DJ and MC needs. It’s clear why these guys are the best in the industry. From start to finish, they really pulled out all the stops to make the night enjoyable and memorable for all our guests. The dance floor was never empty. Richie was a big help, creatively, to make sure our wedding would be perfect, and it was. They understood what we wanted and fulfilled all our expectations. We recommend them to everyone we know for all occasions! A big THANK YOU to Richie Hart Events for helping us achieve the wedding of our dreams!

    We got married at the Garden City Hotel and are so happy that we chose Richie Hart to provide our music and entertainment. We combined a DJ with an MC and live percussionist and saxophone player (this combo worked great) and our guests still rave about how incredible they were. We wanted our wedding to have a party vibe with people spending more time on the dance floor than at their tables. After just one conversation with Richie, we were convinced that he would be the perfect guy to keep our guests partying all night. He was both professional and genuinely excited about being a part of our wedding. As promised, Richie and his musicians were fun, energetic, and interactive with our guests, keeping everyone on the dance floor the entire night (bringing out bongos for people to play was a big hit). If you’re looking for a fun party vibe, we strongly recommend using Richie Hart.

    Richie Hart was absolutely incredible! They exceeded all of my expectations and beyond. Every single one of my guests had an incredible time and kept raving about the music and the entire set-up. I could not have dreamed of a better set-list, professional team, and just overall performance by Richie Hart. I highly HIGHLY recommend them and am 1000000% certain that they will make your event stay apart from the rest. Amazing and best choice I made (other than my husband) :)

    we can't say enough about Richie Hart Events. A friend of mine Anne recommended them for our wedding on Aug 27,2017.
    The music was great , lighting made the room sparkle and most of all Richie sent over as a complementary service from him himself and MC .
    Thank you for making our day so special!!!

    I had my wedding on 6-10-17 at Stonebridge Country Club... I booked a DJ with a percussion and sax. I was skeptical to go with the mix of DJ and live music because I have been to some weddings that had live music and no one danced and they pretty much ruined every song they played, especially since we are a young couple getting married music is very important. Richie insisted they were great and it added an element of spice and excitement to the night and to the music, he was right!!! From the first song I knew we made the right decision. Every song that played, the sax just made it better, they were interactive but not too over the top. He was flexible and worked with our budget and down to the changes I made the day of! Could not of asked for a better turn out.

    If you hire Richie Hart Events, be prepared for a personalized experience you will never forget.

    We utilized the fantastic planning services of Debbie Hart, who not only kept me and my mother semi-sane through the process and the event itself, but help us plan every last detail of the day. Debbie is absolutely amazing and fantastic to work with and will be as hands on as you need her to be without ever letting you feel like you have no control or say over your event. Her experience and knowledge is part of the reason people are still talking about our wedding over two months out!

    When owner, Richie Hart, gets involved in your event, he gets completely immersed and strives to give you everything you dreamed of and more. Sometimes he can get a little overexcited and over the top and you need to rein him in, but that is just because he gets excited and wants to do more for you. Richie provided the lighting, photo booth, booked the entertainment for the evening, and also provided some decoration items that made our event unique and unforgettable.

    These two are quite a pair and when they are working on your event, there is no stopping them. Would never dream of doing this all over again without them by our side.

    Residing In NYC where you can have the BEST of everything within a 5 block radius, it is a pleasure to say that working with Richie Hart Events was the BEST. Starting from our phone conversations with Jill who led us by the hand through the entire process to Richie recommending the right amount of dancers, dj's, and musicians to make our party be THE PARTY NOT TO BE FORGOTTEN. The high energy music, great MC and talented dancers brought our daughters' bat mitzvah to a level that exceeded our expectations.

    Marlye & Matt's Wedding was spectacular!!! Thank you so much for creating an atmosphere of fun, sophistication & well paced energy. You perfectly melded two cultures into one joyous evening, experienced by all the guests. Your wonderful suggestion of adding a live percussion section was paramount in creating a vibrant, musical experience. The bride, groom & flower girls even played the drums & cymbals. Simply fantastic! Once again, Richie, thank you, we will always look back at our children's wedding with a special appreciation to you.

    Richie Hart Events recently provided the entertainment for my wedding and they exceeded all expectations! They were unbelievable! The dance floor was filled the entire night! Along with the dj we had three live instrumental musicians that played during the reception and also a pianist during cocktail hour. Richie Hart and his group went above and beyond. All of our guests are still talking about them and how amazing they were, they truly made the party. Everyone loved the idea of the dj and instrument mix; it went perfectly together and I would recommend it to anyone. Along with creating an unforgettable evening the night of the wedding, working with Richie prior to the wedding was very positive. Richie and his staff are very organized and I knew I was in good hands and they are definitely a vendor that you can trust.

    We used Richie Hart for our wedding DJ/live musicians, photobooth, and after hours DJ. We could not have imagined a better party atmosphere for our day. The dance floor was filled the entire time, the music list was the best, the MC-ing was on point and the entire vibe was exactly what we wanted for our wedding. The afterhours DJ was one of the best I could have ever asked for- the dancing did not stop until the last beat of the last song. There were so many options for different looks/vibes that we could have made the party and Richie Hart nailed it with what we asked for. thank you so much, you have our guests telling us still- almost 3 weeks later, what a great time they had and how their feet still hurt from dancing. I would recommend Richie Hart Events to every couple who wants a party vibe catered to their exact specifications- they will deliver!

    Richie Hart was an absolute pleasure to work with! We had some very unique music requests for our daughter's wedding and Richie took the time to completely understand what we wanted. He and his musicians provided perfect music for the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception which pleased guests of all ages. Besides being a DJ, he's also a professional Master of Ceremonies. He truly enjoyed being part of "our wedding" and kept the party exciting all night.
    He also suggested a photo booth which was a tremendous hit and beautiful, soft lighting for the reception which added such an elegant touch to the room! Thank you, Richie!

    Richie Hart was a great choice for our band for our wedding. He got the entire crowd up and dancing for the entire wedding. Everybody is still raving how interactive the band was and how great the music was. The only thing I would have changed that I wasn't aware of was that the monogram was on the wall behind the tables and not on the floor. Therefore no one really got to see it. Also Richie wasn't there for our final meeting which really made us nervous and question the professionalism, but he did call me to finalize everything a couple of days before the wedding.

    The dj was very professional he was in the back of the room out of everyone's wsy. He played both the music we wanted and filled in with very approptiate other music. We got lots of comments about how it was just the right music for the setting. We were very pleased and would use them again if the need arose

    The band was Affiniti and our crowd never left the dance floor. Also, they did a terrific job of working all of the bride's requested songs into their set.

    Richie and his amazingly talented group of musicians put on a great event. My husband and I hired Richie for our wedding in March and used him for his Band/ DJ combo. The musicians were phenomenal and put on quite a show... Especially his saxophonist which was one of the best I have ever heard or seen.

    The issues I had with RH Events wasn't in the performance (as the band/ DJ was amazing 10 out of 10) but in the administrative piece of our partnership. It took a long time to get responses from his team on emails ive sent/ voice mails left. I never felt that our wedding was a priority and their lack of response to email and voice mails made it apparent. Thirdly, when my husband and I were introduced to our guests during our reception, Richie introduced us with my maiden name and not my husbands/ my new last name. Afterwards my mother-in-law had to ask them to reintroduce us with our married name.
    Overall the performance of the musicians was a 10 out of 10 but wish the RH team spent more time on the little details of the event that would have knocked it out of the park. Overall I give them a 8 out of 10.

    Awful- find another DJ

    The only imperfect part of our perfect day. Buyer beware!
    About 36 hours before my wedding I received an email telling me I had to send them an additional $200 for the event. I had previously discussed schedule and even produced an exact timeline of the event. I got an email 3 days prior saying we were totally good-to-go on all logistics. It was an attempt at extortion. I denied it--- its not like $200 in the grand scheme of a wedding is a big deal, but I think that’s exactly why the felt so cavalier to demand it. I had paid in-full along with the initial contract and did not take a payment option instead. This was NOT about the money. When I said no- that it was completely inappropriate- I was told I had to ‘speak to Richie then.’ They were threatening to pull out (conveniently) with no time to find a replacement. When I spoke to Richie I explained that if the cocktail hour (that was in every single email we exchanged prior) somehow warranted $200 more I could use house music for that time. He said that’s what people often due which was why there was a mixup. He said they would do the event because they are such professionals but I would need to “take care of the DJ” because this $200 was “directly out of his pocket, not mine.” Essentially he inferred I would be a scumbag to not give $200 cash in place of sending him an authorization.
    In setting up the event you have to submit forms to plan out the day. Our set up was extremely simple with minimal announcements. The intro involved announcing only us and not the entire wedding party but the chosen song was not played. We provided a list of 6 songs for the entire event…. They played back to back immediately following the first dance- no mix at all.
    Shady AND inadequate--- They were pretty cheap, but Id suggest paying extra for a better vendor.
