We worked with Cruz Entertainment for a recent wedding in Truckee and unfortunately encountered several challenges both during the planning process and on the day of the event. Communication in the lead-up to the event was inconsistent, with key logistical details needing to be repeated or clarified multiple times. Despite providing a detailed timeline and music preferences well in advance, there were noticeable gaps in preparation and follow-through. Of particular concern was the DJ's dismissive and unprofessional tone in communications with the bride, which caused significant distress and nearly led us to replace him before the event. We reached out to address these concerns in advance, but never received a direct response. On the day of the event, the DJ team arrived over an hour late without notifying the planning team, which caused unnecessary stress and impacted the schedule. Only one lapel mic was brought despite prior communication about the need for two. The AV assistant onsite also shared that he had not been fully briefed on the equipment or the event timeline. Throughout the evening, there was continued confusion regarding the order of formalities and other details that had already been addressed. In addition, we were informed shortly before the event that an extra team member would be present, but it was not made clear that this person was a content creator rather than part of the AV support team. The content creator was disruptive for the couple's hired photographer and videographer, consistently getting in the way. This individual also took a wildly unprofessional and vulgar photo at the photobooth. Photo included in this review. We reached out following the wedding to address these concerns but again, unfortunately received no response. As a wedding planner with over a decade of experience, I believe in giving honest, constructive feedback to help others make informed vendor choices. I hope this review is received in that spirit. read more

Keith and team have this business on lock. Ever since I found out about this team I have seen them excel month after month. Even adding a new family member to their team they still make things happen! Being a professional photographer I get to see the workings of this team. The technology they use for the sparklers, music, fog stuff is insane. Its actually more than I can think of to be honest!! So here is the deal. Book this vendor if you want the best of the best. Book this vendor if you care about the dancing, the good times and the positivity your dj can bring. Its time! read more

Nothing but rave reviews here! My husband and I chose Keith for our wedding, and the music/flow of ceremony remain one of the most mentioned highlights. From the start of discussions to wedding day, Keith was present, detail oriented and made the process tremendously easy. If you hire Cruz, you receive helpful timelines, playlist suggestions and a crew that is dedicated towards making your day as special as can be. I should note we had an unexpected snow storm on our wedding day, but this didn't stop Keith and Robbie from showing up and keeping the dance floor packed all night. Robbie even stepped in as a back-up bartender, when ours failed to make it. Don't hesitate to book Cruz, they're the truly best! read more

We chose Keith and his team for our wedding and they were so wonderful! They paid close attention to detail, and were very professional throughout our entire wedding! I love the app that you can download and add the music you want played during each part of your wedding. I think the biggest hit was the photobooth! Everyone had a blast taking pictures with all the props! My husband and I could not recommend Cruz Entertainment enough! read more

I wanted to give a shout out to Cruz Entertainment, who provided the DJ services for our 20 year vow renewal. We worked with Robert Ingalls! He was very friendly and helpful throughout the whole process leading up to the ceremony. On our initial consultation Robert was caring and communication was clear, which made us trust that he would help us have the perfect vow renewal! He made some great suggestions of songs as well which I appreciated. They have an app that makes it very easy to upload songs for the specific parts of the ceremony and reception, which I loved! On the day of the wedding he was very professional and did a wonderful job with the flow of the events keeping the guests entertained and dancing. The DJ can really make or break an event, and Robert knocked it out of the park. I highly recommend Robert if you need a great DJ for your event! read more

Keith and his crew did an amazing job for our company Christmas party! They worked seamlessly with the venue to set up and tear down and made my job so much easier. They exceeded my expectations with what they provided! The photo booth was a huge hit with my staff and we still laugh at staff meetings when we show the pictures! The custom touch with our logo on their set was an awesome surprise. The music was professional and tailored to my staff's preferences. Keith is an excellent DJ and seamlessly integrated his music with our program presentations. I would highly recommend Cruz Entertainment for any party, wedding, or festive gathering. You will not be disappointed! Peter Ott Executive Director Bristlecone Recovery Center read more

I am so grateful that I had the experience of having Keith for my wedding this summer. He was a great guy to work with and we had a quality experience for a fair price. He met with us several times before the event and answered any questions we had, and really understood what we wanted for our special day. He provided all the necessary equipment, his set up looked really nice and professional without sticking out from our decor Keith was so great to work with the day-of for both our ceremony and reception and everything went smoothly. We had such rave reviews from all our guests on the music. It was a perfect combination of my and my husband's favorite songs and crowd-pleasers. One of my favorite memories from the day was seeing our dance floor full all night with EVERYONE... even those (there's always a few) who swear they don't like dancing, but what do you know, they were on there busting moves like nobody's business. It was the perfect day. Thank you, Keith! read more

Cruz Entertainment is the way to go! From the great apps he uses, to the one on one meetings, he is professional, authentic, knowledgeable and passionate all the way through. He curated the mood for the whole night and provided our wedding the energy we sought after. I can't recommend Cruz Entertainment enough! read more

Round of Applause!! We loved Cruz Entertainment as our vendor, hands down the best DJ we have encountered. From the very beginning Keith made sure the process was smooth, easy and involved all of our guests. The timeline on VIBO was very helpful and we loved how we were able to show our personalities through our music then Keith & Kevin were able to create an amazing playlist. We loved every song played, loved the flow and how they kept everyone on their feet. Adding the cloud for our special dance was the topper, our first dance looked amazing. We also loved how involved Keith and Kevin were in our wedding party and created a fun environment. We thank you for making our wedding so memorable that our guests loved you so much they booked you as well for their wedding. Thank you for making our wedding special and remarkable!! read more

I highly recommend using Keith for your next wedding or event. He MC'd and DJ'd our wedding last weekend and we couldn't be happier. Keith made the entire experience from start to finish, through song selection, site preparation, and timing/scheduling of announcements completely stress free and easy. His professionalism both before the big day and during the event left us free to worry about all the other myriad details while his song selection and setlist remained on point from guest arrival through to the final dance. He set the mood perfectly and read the dance floor expertly. Our guests have been raving ever since about how much fun they had and we owe that in no small part to Keith's exceptional performance. read more

We hired Keith to provide the entertainment for our new gym's grand opening this past weekend and he did an incredible job!! He showed up exactly when he said he would, he was very professional with his set up, and he kept the event going at a nice, fun pace for 4 straight hours! He listened to our requests in terms of music theme and everybody had a blast. He even let me borrow his mic to use during the grand opening because we didn't have one. When the day was done, his take-down was quick and easy! We'll definitely be hiring him again for our next event! read more

Keith played for our wedding in June. He did an awesome job. Not only did he play everything I asked he also had really great song selection. Very on point and professional. I loved that he had a schedule and kept the flow of the wedding going. He kept everyone moving and the guest had an amazing time. I would highly recommend him to anyone. Thank you Keith! read more

We could not have been more pleased with our DJ experience ! Keith played for mine & a friends' joint-graduation party. Together we had a total of around 80 guests ranging in all ages. Throwing an event with so many people that enjoy various backgrounds of music is nerve-racking. However Keith (hands-down) made the night enjoyable for EVERYONE :) I was extremely busy wrapping up my final semester of nursing school, but Keith remained patient & easy to communicate my music desires with. On the actual party day Keith jumped right into playing even though I invited him to just hang out & eat first. It was obvious he was eager to get the party moving & create a night not to be forgotten. Everyone had such great things to say about the music. Our party truly would not have been the same without him DJing. Keith is easy to communicate with, versatile, & his years of experience truly show in his work. I would highly recommend Keith to anyone & everyone. Thank you so much Keith !!! read more

I recently rented the photobooth for a baby shower which was a huge hit at the party. Everything was set up for us, including fun props. The background and personalized overlay were perfect and the pictures looked professional. There were many settings including gifs and boomerangs which everybody had a blast with. Communication was easy and they were very friendly, timely and professional. read more

We had Cruz Entertainment do our wedding and it was the best decision we made! The team was so accommodating and worked with all of our needs. It really made our day special. From the music to the lights, to the awesome photo booth it was amazing! Communication and organization leading up to the wedding was spot on. It really helped us to focus on what we needed to focus on because we knew Keith and his team were on it. We feel we couldn't have found a better DJ if we tried. We highly recommend Cruz Entertainment! read more

I was very impressed with Keith's professionalism. He showed up in a timely manner with all the necessary equipment needed to ensure a quality experience. He played great music and his interaction throughout the wedding was on point. I recommend anybody to use Cruz Entertainment!!! read more

Keith played our wedding in July, and he was fantastic! Our dance floor was full of happy attendees all night! We met with him a few times before the actual day of the wedding. In these meetings we discussed playlists (including "do-not play" songs which was helpful!), our venue, and the general vibe we were looking for in our DJ. Not only was he very professional, but he was also accommodating and understanding in every aspect of our wedding. When it came time for the wedding he was punctual and ready to adapt to any changes we threw at him. He was able to transition between dinner music, cutting the cake music, traditional Parent dances, and into the dance floor music with no issues whatsoever. We'd given him a setlist of ideas for songs, in no particular order, and he put together a dance setlist that had a natural flow and kept people dancing all night. Our guests had a great night and everyone was disappointed when we had to leave our venue, no one wanted to stop dancing! Overall, we were extremely satisfied with Keith. We had zero issues in the planning stages or the night of. We couldn't have asked for more and we recommend him to anyone planning an event. read more

Keith and his crew were amazing. They took great care to ensure that we had an awesome event and that everything was exactly how we wanted it to be. The photobooth was outstanding and everybody truly enjoyed themselves. We will definitely use Cruz Entertainment again. Thanks guys! read more

We had Keith DJ our wedding back in October and I couldn't have asked for a better guy to do the job! He was very professional and was accommodating to all of the changes we had made last minute. He's the best and when we do our vow renewals, we know who we are having DJ! Thank you so much Keith. We appreciate it! read more

My husband and I decided last minute to turn our engagement party into a surprise wedding for our guests and Keith jumped in and made our wedding day the BEST DAY EVER with barely anytime to prepare. We also have a very wide array of musical favorites, some popular like pop, country, rock, others very nonconventional like folk music, and even old 80's rock. I was VERY worried about music, because most people say music and your DJ MAKES a wedding...Keith met with me a couple of times to discuss music types we wanted and what we specifically didn't, the time line he would be announcing and keeping track of and specific song needs for dances or special request songs. Keith made sure to make it our day, with the music we like. At the wedding if guests came up to request songs he made sure to play it, he kept the wedding on time with announcements, dances, etc...and he even did special shout outs to my siblings for certain songs to be played! Originally we figured people would be done dancing around 830 or 9 because our wedding started at 3pm but everyone was having so much fun dancing it ended up going until 11 and people afterward were upset music was done! After the wedding, I was told multiple times from guests (young and old) of how awesome of a DJ he is and how great he did for ALL age groups at the wedding which ranged from 20-70s. Keith is a great guy and an even greater DJ. I would recommend him for ANY event that you have going on. No matter what type or age group, Keith will do an amazing job for you. He had access to so much music that whenever I asked for a song (even during the wedding) he was able to immediately get it OR even find remixes for which was AWESOME!!! Whatever your DJ needs Keith is your guy. He is accommodating, punctual, he has a great personality, is easy to work with and express wants and needs, and above all he made our day the best. Without him, the surprise wedding wouldn't have been as amazing. Thank you Keith you're the best! read more
