An Incredible Experience with the Carcano Family

Where do we even start with the Carcano family! It was an absolute pleasure to work with them in orchestrating my wedding at the Hyatt Regency in Long Beach. Michael and his family were incredibly kind, responsive, and efficient during the contracting process. They gave my wife and I full confidence that we were working with professionals and that the final product would be everything we had dreamed of and more. That is not to mention the fact that the services Michael was providing were priced extremely competitively and fairly. On the wedding day, the draping in the venue was absolutely stunning and shattered all our expectations. In all, working with the Carcano family was one of the best decisions my wife and I made for our wedding and we will take advantage of their services for our large events in the future. Endless thank yous to the Carcano family!!

Best dj ever!

I cannot recommend a better DJ than the Carcano team! They were amazing from the very beginning, super responsive and easy to work with. They truly went above and beyond to make our wedding day the best day ever! The fact that they’re a family business is an added plus for sure! Ryan was truly the best!! He even made our first dance edit from 2 songs that we wanted to use. Their lighting options were endless and what we chose added the perfect touches throughout our reception, we also had low level fog that made our first dance so magical and the CO2 gun was definitely a crowd pleaser and one of our favorites!! Our dance floor was packed all night and everyone has since raved that ours was the best wedding they’ve ever been to! 10/10 recommend using Carcano for your wedding or any upcoming event, you will not be disappointed!!

Carcano DJ was one of the most professional DJs I have worked with. The DJ who worked our particular event kept the dance floor packed every second! I can't remember a moment when the crowd wasn't moving! There is nothing worse than an empty dance floor and being able to read a crowd is key!
