    Rodney is amazing to work with!

    We hired Rodney for our 12/19/2020 wedding at Eagle Ridge Resort in Galena, IL for a photo booth, bistro lighting, and DJ services. Rodney was so friendly throughout the planning process, and was extremely flexible with us when we had to postpone our wedding to 11/27/2021. I really liked his online planning portals; they made it very easy to communicate important details. As an added bonus, Rodney has extensive experience working with our venue. Because of this, he was easily able to communicate with the venue coordinator and establish set up times without any help needed from me! The photo booth was a big hit with guests. They got to leave a photo strip in a scrapbook for us with a little note and take a photo strip home with them! We had the bistro lights hung over the dance floor, and they were beautiful. The DJ was amazing and kept the reception running smoothly the entire night. We would definitely recommend this company!

    Rodney and Rich were amazing to work with on our wedding day. They were so accommodating with everything we asked for and made sure we enjoyed our night! The guests loved the two of them and had so much fun with Rodney at the photo booth and loved dancing to the music that Rich played! I would highly recommend Special Moments Entertainment if you are looking for a reliable and professional company who will make sure that you and your guests have a fantastic night!!

    We had Special Moments Entertainment DJ our wedding reception and provide photobooth services. They were so responsive and accommodating throughout my entire wedding planning experience with them. At the reception, the photo booth was an absolute hit!! All of my guests were having so much fun. DJ Rich Ungos was absolutely amazing!! Our dance floor was packed all night. We had the time of our lives and couldn’t have asked for anything more. Thank you so much Special Moments Entertainment for such a fantastic night!

    Special Moments really made our day special with a beautiful display of bistro lighting in the banquet hall. Rodney came all the way out to Galena to set it all up early that day and so it looked beautiful lit up at night.

    Rodney and his team at special moments were amazing! They were wonderful to work with, attentive, and worth every penny to decorate our venue. They added special touches to our reception hall that made everything come together perfectly. I highly recommend them to all couples planning their wedding, you won’t regret it!

    From the moment I contacted Special Moments, the service and their attention was excellent. I live out of town, no where near my wedding location, I handle everything by phone and email. Up until the day prior to the wedding, Special Moments were there and agreed to a last minute set up change. The day of the wedding, my guests enjoyed the booth. Special Moments found my husband and I to ensure we took photos as well. They followed thru, on delivery of the memory book...(I forgot about it). I recommend!! you using there services for your photo booth needs. EXCELLENT!!

    If you are looking for an amazing DJ to add to your photo booth services, I highly recommend DJ Rich Ungos! My husband and I had him at our wedding almost two months ago, and our friends & family still talk about how he is one of the best DJs that they have ever heard. He was extremely accommodating & flexible when it came to meeting up to talk to us about the wedding, whether it was discussing the contract, helping us choose certain songs, or giving us recommendations and different ideas on how to lay out the events of the evening. He has an awesome website that is a great tool for brides & grooms to help sort of lay out the night, listing out different songs for each dance - this was such a huge benefit for us in order to keep everything straight. One of the best parts about it was that if you couldn't exactly pin-point a song you wanted (for example, father/daughter or mother/son), there are lists of the top songs that are chosen for that dance at different weddings. The options are definitely endless!

    If you are looking for a great duo to do both your photo booth, lighting, and DJ needs - we would highly recommend Rodney & Rich to anybody. They are both so good at what they do and we are so happy we chose each of them to help us make our wedding day one of the best!

    We had already planned to use Rodney's photo booth service for our wedding, when at the very last minute, my mom decided she wanted TWINKLE LIGHTS (seriously, she was obsessed), and boy am I glad she did. Rodney absolutely transformed our reception into a fairy tale. He also did work for another client who was having their reception that evening in the area that our ceremony was held in the afternoon, so we got to enjoy that decor as well, which was also gorgeous (how lucky we were!) The venue was already a beautiful place, but once I saw what Rodney did to both spaces, I can't imagine having it any other way. He hung beautiful drapery, flowing fabric panels and twinkle lights inside the ballroom and stunning bistro lights out on the deck. He coordinated the colored lighting with our DJ and it could not have looked better. The photo booth was a blast, too. Everyone had a great time with it and it is so much fun getting to look back through the book of all the silly pictures. Rodney was fantastic to work with. I'd recommend Special Moments to anyone in a heartbeat.

    I was very pleased with Special Moments Photo Booth. When we booked, we got a discount for booking at a bridal show in Dubuque, IA. Even paying full price would be worth it! We were really happy with the service we received. They are easy to work with, very responsive to emails and questions, and accommodating. Thank you Special Moments Photo Booth for being a part of our special day and allowing us to still be a part of the fun through seeing the pictures that our family and friends took!

    Smooth, easy and fun! That was how we felt about Special Moments Entertainment. From the moment we reserved them for our wedding date, Rodney was super responsive and easy going. I never had to worry about the photo booth, because I knew I could count on Special Moments. Once our wedding day came, the line for the photo booth was constant! Rodney has a fun, upbeat personality, and this is exactly how he ran the booth. My guests had a blast and were bummed when the booth ended for the night. I would reserve them again in a heartbeat. If I had to say something they could improve upon, it would be to have more available props for guests to use.

    Rodeny and his photobooth wre so fun and awesome to have at the wedding. Rodeny was booked through my parents as a surprise and when my dad accidentally spilled the beans, he was great to work with. He has a nice camera set up so they are clear photos and the space he set up a lot of guests in each photo. Thank you Rodney !

    Photo Booth? White dance floor? Monogram dance floor? String lighting? Uplighting? Draping? Backdrops? You want it? RODNEY DOES IT! This guy can design a room that will make a bride cry, trust me I know because I did. 100% worth every penny. Everything was great through the planning process. Be sure to talk to them about props for your Photo Booth too. I can't come up with anything negative, just have faith in this team. They'll end up being your friends :)

    I want send a huge Thank you to Rodney and his team at Special Moments Entertainment. My Husband and I used his services on July 30th, 2016. They were all set up and ready to go by the start of the night. My guests were in there during the cocktail hour of our reception. My guests just loved the idea of having the photobooth. It was busy all night long everytime I looked up there were lines after lines. The coordinator pulled me and my husband aside to get us in there while it was at it busiest times so we could get photos for the cover of our album, not only did this happen once but she allowed us to get in there right before she closed so we could get a couple more photos in. She was very nice and cooperative of my guests and even allowed some of them to go in there during closing time for dinner, which I thought was nice, I believed she only oped it a few minutes early prior to dinner being over. I would highly recommend Rodney and his team for your special event.

    My husband & I are so incredibly happy we chose Rodney & Special Moments Entertainment to do our photo booth for our wedding! For what we paid, we got way more in return than expected. The props he provided were so much fun, the photo booth itself and the backdrop was fun and pretty as well. All of our guests loved it - we were seriously pulled into the photo booth more than we were on the dance floor ;) We also got a book of all copies of the photo booth photos and guests were able to leave a little note for us to go with them. We also got any extra photo strips the guests didn't take. We would highly recommend Rodney & his team to be at your next event! He is super easy to get a hold of, and extremely flexible with any requests you might have.

    Rodney took care of the photo booth at my wedding and he was amazing!! He was dressed professional, and he was so nice and forthcoming with all my wedding guests. All of my friends and family said the photo booth was a blast, it was definitely worth every penny that I spent. I also love looking at my scrapbook that I got with all the pictures of everyone!!
    I would recommend him to anyone :)

    If you are looking for hands down the best lighting, draping, and photo booth expert - you have come to the right place. Rodney is the nicest, most sincere and just all around amazing individual who really went above and beyond for my wedding. Everything came together just perfectly and really complimented each other. It truly made our wedding beyond what I could have ever dreamed.

    Getting a photo booth was a last minute decision for us and we are so happy we did. Rodney was awesome! He answered all my questions, worked with me on a price that would fit our budget, and was great day of wedding. We all had a lot of fun, and a week later my guest are still talking about their photo booth photos. I would highly recommend him to anyone, you will not be disappointed.

    Rodney was such a pleasure to work with!!! He was extremely professional, responsive, kind, easy-going, and genuine!! He also offered to suggest other vendors that I may need for my wedding, since he was more familiar with the Galena location than I was! I'm so glad that I chose Rodney to help with some of the decor of my reception!! I did the italian bistro lights and fabric draping and they both gave my reception hall that WOW factor!!! Everything turned out so beautiful, and I could not imagine not choosing those services after seeing it all done!!! It was so great to work with him!! Thank you for helping to make our day incredible!
