Best DJ/MC You Could Dream Of

My husband and I could not have thought of a better DJ/MC for our wedding. We've seen CME at another friend's wedding and knew right in that moment that they were exactly who we wanted for our wedding. Let me tell you, they brought their A-game. Rudy and Genesis helped to plan every minute of the wedding and when we had to change the plan in the reception, they were able to pivot and make changes flawlessly that even we could barely notice.
The way that they select the right music, they know exactly how to read a room and get people moving. I still to this day have people tell me that they have never been to a wedding with such a full and active dance floor. Having a great party with great music was one of the most important things for our wedding and with CME, we were able to get every second of that on our wedding night. 5 stars across the board!

Book this band!!!

TL;DR Book Crossing Midnight for your wedding!!!! They will make it the best part you ever had!!
Crossing Midnight was beyond incredible—truly electric—and you kept everyone on the dance floor from start to finish. The sets were insane, and they are all INCREDIBLY talented. Honestly they should all be famous. The feedback from our guests has been unbelievable—people are still raving that you’re the best wedding band they’ve ever heard, and we couldn’t agree more! In fact, one of my husband’s friends told him that he felt like he was at a concert, not a wedding. We can't stop talking about it. 
On top of being amazing, they also made the whole process so incredibly easy and seamless for us. We didn't have to think or worry about a single thing when it came to the band. It was probably the easiest part of the entire wedding. Book this band and you won’t regret it!!

Crossing Midnight Review

Crossing Midnight was the first vendor we booked after setting our date. They played at my brothers wedding and we just HAD to have them back for ours! They are incredible! Not only is their music out of this world, Rudy was so helpful during the reception and always making sure we were OK and having fun. Rudy and Genesis were very responsive throughout the entire planning process. They reviewed every detail of the itinerary with us before the big day and made sure they knew exactly what we wanted and expected. They exceeded it all!! It felt like every guest at the party was on the dance floor all night long. Everyone is still talking about them. They were by far the best decision we made for our wedding day!
