    Amazing DJ who was super attentive to our needs!

    Peter was awesome! The day of the actual wedding, everyone loved our ceremony, happy hour and reception music. Our dance floor was so packed people didn't have time to go get drinks at the open bar haha! We had a lot of questions / were not experienced with wedding planning and Peter was so kind to always quickly answer our questions and hop on the phone with us. Peter has a ton of experience with weddings so he was able to provide us sample lists of songs for important moments and guide how we should think about the progression of music and entertainment throughout the wedding. He also provided the uplighting that set the mood for our reception / dance floor.

    Peter is your guy. You won't regret it

    I had my wedding in San Clemente, CA and Peter was the DJ. If you want someone who knows their stuff and no BS, Peter is your person. In addition to handling the music, he has lights, smoke machines, sparks, tree lights and many other things. Peter was professional, joy to work with, good attitude, and great communicator. I highly recommend Peter.

    Outstanding!!

    Peter was amazing from start to finish for our August 2023 wedding! We really appreciated that in addition to DJing, we were also able to work with him for MCing and uplighting. He is versatile and attentive. Per my request, towards the end of the night, he transitioned to some EDM favorites which made me so happy and allowed me to have fun with our guests. Peter has a wonderful personality and was a joy to work with! Would highly recommend Peter!!

    Vive Entertainment made our wedding amazing!!

    Peter is the greatest! He is very accommodating, kind, professional and easy to work with! I the groom on the other hand, was a bit vague about what songs to put on the dance floor because the bride and I were a bit flustered with wedding prep, but the day of, SOMEHOW Peter put on all the songs we loved to dance to! How does he do it? It's like magic.

    So, it seems, Peter is not only an exceptional DJ and MC, he is also a mind reader of sorts. But really, you can see his decades of experience shine in how he makes everything work so well and keeps the atmosphere so lively and joyful during the wedding! Even knowing what songs to put, you really see the experience come out.

    So for those of you who are looking for a DJ, I know what it's like to comb through so many reviews, many who have high reviews and go "who do we trust?" "they're all good", "how do we know which one's legit?" Let me stop you right there.

    Peter is legit. Peter is good. Peter is someone you can trust.

    Wedding Cancelled, but it's okay with vendors like this!

    I just wanted to write a quick note about Peter. We were so thrilled to have selected a DJ. Our wedding venue actually recommended Peter (we had no idea where to start when it came to a DJ). We were a little apprehensive, but Peter met us for coffee, made us feel warm, invited, cared for, and HEARD. He was attentive, responsive, and KIND.

    With COVID, we unfortunately postponed our wedding from October 2020 to April 2021. Peter literally rearranged his entire schedule for us. I couldn't believe we lined him up AGAIN.

    With so much uncertainty, we ultimately made the difficult decision to cancel our big wedding day. When I reached out to Peter, he was not only supportive of our decision, but gave us some of our deposit back (I couldn't believe this - because I have had several other vendors who did not take this approach).

    Even when you lose money, there is something about a warm person, who is quick to respond, and genuinely caring that makes the process sting a little less - Peter is just that. I truly wish we could have had our big day partially because of him. I know I can't fully attest to his great work, but should you choose Peter, just know that you will be taken care of.

    Great Wedding Experience

    Peter was our DJ/ MC for our wedding, and he was so helpful, kind, and professional. We appreciated the time he took to meet with us and answer all of our questions. He really listened and understood our vibe of what we wanted played, and also did a great job reading the room and choosing songs. We knew we could really trust him, and we had the best evening.

    Exceptional DJ!

    Peter was exceptional! He stuck with us through two postponements and was our wedding DJ this past August at Rancho Las Lomas. He is easy going and seamlessly led the wedding reception. He never came across as overbearing on the mic. We gave him a general idea of the kind of music we like, and he did a great job at reading the room and choosing which songs to play. We received many compliments from guests about Peter. Thank you, Peter!

    Great experience with Peter at our wedding

    Peter went above and beyond to make our wedding run smoothly. All my guests were very impressed! The music was great and people were dancing all night. Peter was also very easy to work with and responsive. While talking to him on the phone he helped me pick out songs for my ceremony which was super helpful as a bride with so much to do! I would highly recommend him for your wedding or event!

    Do yourself a favor and choose Peter!

    I can't say enough amazing things about Peter but I'll try to keep this short.
    1. We were surprised when there wasn't a dance floor we thought we ordered at our reception so Peter took it upon himself to call local vendors to try to get us a dance floor.
    2. The best day he sent us video of some special moments at our reception that we otherwise wouldn't have had since our videographer and photographer were gone.
    3. He kept our reception to our timeline and has such a fun and calming presence. He was very responsive in the planning process and helped us with details we wouldn't have thought about.

    Peter is the best!

    Peter was amazing! He took so much time speaking to me prior to the wedding to get a feel of the songs and vibe we wanted. He ran through everything with us and personalized our wedding to make us feel so special. We had a blast thank you to Peter!!

    Really Great

    The music was really great at the wedding and my guests had a lot of fun!. He also knew the perfect time to stop the music for the first dances (husband then dad) so it was not awkward! I would highly recommend him!

    The best for my wedding!

    Peter from Vive Entertainment was awesome to work with! He was very reasonably priced and provided such great entertainment and music. I had my wedding at Talega Golf Course and he provided everything we needed (I know nothing about cords, microphones, etc.) He provided microphones for the ceremony, pre-ceremony music, cocktail hour music, and music for the rest of the evening! Now let me just say that our dance floor was LIT from beginning to end, and he threw in a couple songs that I hadn't even thought about that everyone loved! He was great at announcing things and he did it all so naturally ... clearly not his first rodeo. Throughout the planning process he was responsive, flexible, and easy to work with! My first dance song was a bit long and he noticed that and offered to edit and shorten it by taking out some choruses, and it ended up being perfect. I sent my music requests through a mixture of Spotify, Excel, and I sent a few .mp3 files over email (I had created my own song for the father daughter dance!) All in all, he took care of everything and exceeded my expectations!

    Best decision we made!

    Months before our wedding day, my wife and I knew we struck gold when we hired Peter to be our MC/DJ for our wedding. Finding the right people to make your imagination a reality is very stressful but Peter put us at ease from the beginning. It became clear from our first phone call that he’s very knowledgeable, which is clearly a product of many years of experience. Furthermore, it became clear to us during that first phone call that he’s a kind, good person who genuinely wants to help create the wedding you’re dreaming of. Throughout the process, he was a great communicator and very easy and enjoyable to talk to. I asked him to mix a wide range of music that included EDM, rap, old R&B and Arabic music and he found a way to mix it all seamlessly. My wife and I also love mashups and we asked him to play very specific tracks that I found from complex mixes. He was able to make it all work perfectly to our liking. Not only did he help us with music, but he also helped us with lighting in creating the rave kind of feel my wife was going for. Peter was also a phenomenal MC. Everything was smooth start to finish and I received numerous compliments from my guests about how great he was as both a DJ and MC. I was so nervous picking a DJ because music is very important to me but Peter exceeded every single one of my expectations. Out of all the decisions that went into making our wedding a success, my wife and I both agree that hiring him was the best decision we made.

    Responsive and Helpful

    Peter was responsive and helpful throughout our entire wedding planning process. Planning a wedding during covid was no easy task, and having a DJ who was consistently there for us as we changed our minds about songs about a million times made everything so much less stressful. We were not given the OK to have dancing until the very last minute and that sent my fiance and I into a panic about what songs to choose for those few hours, I was able to make play lists using their website, and that was incredibly helpful in narrowing down the music. I wish all my vendors were as helpful as Peter!

    Great experience - professional, organized, and fun

    Peter at Vive Entertainment was absolutely incredible. He was so organized, professional, and got everyone up and dancing during our shortened reception (due to COVID). Even though we only had 40 people and had to cut the reception an hour short, Peter made the night a blast. He easily transitioned the crowd through the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, speeches, dancing, and the end of the night. I highly recommend Peter as your DJ!

    Peter was an A+++ DJ

    Peter went above and beyond for our wedding! We could not have asked for a better personality, mix of music and all around DJ/MC. He helped make every moment of our wedding planning and wedding day perfect. He offered to a meeting before we even hired him, showing us exactly what we could expect with him as our DJ. We knew right away he was a perfect fit. He put together edits of first dance song, entrance song, father-daughter, mother-son dances to make them perfect for us and our timing needs. He even went above and beyond and helped my sisters put together an edit of songs for their MOH speech. He showed up hours early to make sure he was set up for the ceremony, then moved over to cocktail hour to make sure speakers and mics were set up for an impromptu speech. He was the perfect MC, able to get the crowd going, and settle down when someone needed the floor. The whole party was on the dance floor all night long, and that was all thanks to Peter!! I would recommend him again and again for any wedding (or any other occations) because he was really THAT good! Thanks Peter for everything you did to make our day special from beginning to end, we so appreciate it!

    Best DJ who will make your big day a stress-free day!!

    Peter was so easy to work with from day one talking on the phone to the actual wedding day. Per my request he provided a list of songs (2000 songs) for me to review, and filter the ones I wanted him to play along with my own playlists. He is professional, organized, and responsive. He's a great MC, and DJ. We're so happy with hired Peter for our wedding day, and highly recommend him for your wedding.

    Professional and fun! All around amazing audio/visual company. Highly recommend.

    We were extremely impressed by Vive entertainment for our wedding. The location was at the Ritz-Carlton, and included indoor and outdoor audio/visual needs. Peter was knowledgable, prepared, and a phenomenal MC. He is an amazing mix of professionalism, while still adding so much excitement to the event. We are so pleased with his company and highly recommend him to anyone in need of audio/visual services. He truly made memories for us that we will treasure forever.

    Wonderful DJ, MC, and Uplighting Service

    Hiring Peter Papadopoulos with Vive Entertainment Inc to be the DJ and MC for our daughter's wedding was the BEST DECISION we ever made. Here is why:
    My husband and I were very picky (we interviewed many companies) in choosing the right DJ/MC, because we believe the DJ/MC has an important role in the success of the reception.
    During the first meeting with Peter, he knew exactly what we wanted. His professionalism, patience, and extensive music repertoire was very impressive. Our daughter raved about how easy it was to communicate with him on playlist adjustments and music edits, despite the fact that she lives in a different state.
    So not only he became our DJ and MC, he also handled the uplighting of the very large reception room at our venue.
    As a DJ, he played the right music at the right time. The dance floor was always full. Everyone loved his music and we received many compliments.
    As a MC, he was spot on with his announcements, and never was too wordy.
    As far as uplighting is concerned, everything was done beautifully, and he was very patient adjusting the lights as we desired.
    In summary, he helped to make our daughter's wedding the most magical ever.

    Amazing DJ who did an awesome job hosting/M.C.ing our wedding

    Peter is nothing short of the consummate professional. Prior to the wedding, Peter met and conferred with us to better understand our preferences for our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. Peter was able to mix songs, including lengthening or shortening songs (i.e. for the processional or our first dance), so as to accommodate our needs and desires. Peter offered a packet of music recommendations which also guided our decisions and lessened the burden of surfing the web for popular songs to play. Peter also adeptly used the music to set the tone of the event; he elevated moments by using high energy music and as well as masterfully used the music to lull the audience to appropriate silence preceding speeches (notably we had a guest count of 275).
    For the open dance floor segment (end of the evening fun), Peter played a perfect variety of high-energy dance tracks for the young crowd, and also peppered in slow songs that compelled the older generations to join the group on the dance floor. Peter played the type of music we wanted, and respectfully avoided songs that we expressed we did not want played.
    Peter also made for an incredible MC, and provided spectacular introductions for the collective bridal party, not only for the grand entrances, but also for their respective speeches. Lastly Peter has a wonderful disposition; he was easy to get along with, was accommodating, reliable, and returned messages (email or phone) promptly (which is important amidst wedding craze); he assisted with last minute changes, and was an integral member of our wedding crew, and most certainly elevated our wedding experience!

    Ultimately, we are extremely happy that we hired Peter. Our wedding was better because Peter was our DJ. We highly recommend him for your wedding and/or any event you may have.

    Peter is an amazing DJ and did a fantastic job as DJ/MC for our wedding on 9/8/18! Our family is blended and had many Spanish speakers as well as English speakers which made choosing a playlist a bit of challenge for us but Peter had a lot of experience DJ'ing multicultural weddings and was able to take our suggestions and expand upon them to have a very well-rounded playlist which helped all of our guests feel welcome and have a great time at our reception. Our top priorities in hiring a DJ were professionalism in the MC'ing and creating a very fun atmosphere for the party. There wasn't a moment during the dancing portion of the night that our dance floor was even close to being empty and this was a direct result of Peter's great DJ'ing and selection of music. It may be cheesy, but we had more than one conga line start organically during the course of the night and we're taking that as a sign that everyone had a great time during our reception. Peter, thank you again for your amazing work and for making our wedding such a special and fun night for all that attended!

    Peter was a fantastic partner for our wedding entertainment. He was accommodating, easy to work with and facilitated a fun environment. We would hire him again in a heartbeat and give him the highest recommendation.
