Lutz Entertainment was recommended by our day of coordinator Jeanne Stark (Hudson Valley…read moreCeremonies). After reading excellent review after excellent review and a quick phone screening, we hired him for our wedding. We met in person once before the wedding to review introductions and accompanying music, our first dance (which he performed live), our musical preferences and the entire run of show. And in the final weeks leading up to the wedding, Jimmy checked in to see if we had any additional requests or thoughts. The process was seamless and it showed the day of. For instance, my mother was insistent that dinner was not a time to be dancing and guests should be able to hear each other from across the table. Mindful of this, Jimmy used the time to play non-dancing music from some of our favorite bands at a lower level than normal. Speaking with a close friend (who knows my musical preferences) after the wedding, he expressed how personal the music was throughout the night, from introductions to dinner to dancing. Success! Jimmy's enthusiasm for music is infectious and my husband and I now find ourselves brainstorming ways we could incorporate him into future events, just so we could work with him again! With that said, we highly recommend Jimmy for your own wedding!

Jimmy DJ'ed our wedding at Mountainview Manor in Glen Spey, NY and was absolutely fantastic. He…read morecame recommended to us by the venue and we set up a Skype interview. He was very fun and excited about the ideas we had, praising us for going beyond what people had asked for in the past. We emailed back and forth some Dos and Don'ts, all of which he loved. We Skyped again before the wedding to iron things out and he played different music and genres for us and we shared specific songs we had from our own libraries. By the end of the session, we were all giddy and so excited. We knew we'd made the right choice. He showed up to the venue right on time, set everything up seamlessly while we took photos. The ceremony music got the waterworks going immediately (my wife walked to "This is Love" from Cinderella. I was a mess) and he played "Power of Love" after we were announced as a couple (which he also loved). He played film scores and soundtracks during the cocktail hour - which no less than 5 people stopped me to compliment ("Did you just have the theme from 'Jurassic Park' at your wedding?!"). He and I also arranged a surprise dance number with myself and my groomsmen for my wife during the reception. He played the theme from "Ghostbusters" at dinner and EVERYONE sang along. He played two songs I specifically requested for my in-laws and even replayed the song we danced to later in the evening because so many people asked us to do the full dance ("That's What Makes You Beautiful" by One Direction from "Just Dance 4". It was awesome and it's on You Tube). He played a perfect mix of pop hits and classic rock and oldies. There wasn't a single moment when there wasn't someone on the dance floor. Grandmas and 11 year old cousins and everyone in between. It was so much fun and we got so many compliments. I couldn't recommend him enough. I want him to DJ my life.

I was responsible for the music at our 50th high school reunion and found Superior Sounds, which…read morerents high-quality audio equipment for DIY events. Marquis and John were both a pleasure to work with from start to finish. When I picked up the equipment, John carefully walked me through all of the cable connections and even played music through the system so I could see just how easy it was to set up and operate. They supplied everything I needed, including all the necessary cables (with extra lengths), Lightning, USB-C, and 1/8-inch adapters, a mixing board, speaker stands, a table with a tablecloth, and more. They truly thought of every detail. John was especially patient, knowledgeable, and helpful throughout the process. After I accidentally left the speaker stands behind, he went out of his way to deliver them to the reunion venue, ensuring everything was ready for the event. That level of customer service was exceptional. I highly recommend Superior Sounds to anyone looking for quality equipment and outstanding customer service.

He wasn't on any of the vendor lists I received from wedding sites, which is a shame. We found Eric's information online and were very impressed with his performance at a restaurant in Ellenville. Eric is a talented guitarist and singer and has an impressive repertoire of folk and classic rock favorites that guests from every generation enjoyed. He was also great about learning some extras that we requested (he played our favorite Duncan Sheik song at our ceremony). He was a pleasure to work with and his laid-back style really fit into the rustic setting of our wedding site. Eric played at a campfire we hosted the night before our wedding as well as our ceremony and cocktail hour, and we got more compliments about his performance than any other part of the wedding. I'd recommend Eric to anyone in need of a musician in the Woodstock area!

Every single guest in our wedding including some of our vendors asked if we personally knew the officiant since our wedding felt so tailored and personalized to us. We explained how we found her on our recommended vendors list from our venue, the FEAST at Roundhill. We explained how much work Jude put in to get to know us from having us fill out questionnaires about us individually and as a couple. We even had a getting to know each other zoom session where we discussed our hopes and dreams for the wedding. From there Jude provided us with handfuls of suggested prayers, readings, vows, etc. She even guided us in writing our own vows. From there, we had 2-3 more sessions with her as we built and then went through our entire ceremony. That is exactly how we ended up with such an intimate, personalized ceremony because of the amount of work Jude put in. Our other experience with the two other officiants we interviewed was tell me a little bit about yourselves and then we will see you the day of. No one else compares to Jude. Hire her and you will see your personalized ceremony come to life!
