We highly, highly recommend you book Lifetime Entertainment for your wedding day. If we could…read moreafford it, we would book DJ Ian Ali and his team for every event possible. First of all, Ian is such a great, experienced DJ. We had been to multiple weddings that he also DJ'ed and always had the best time. Everyone was ready to dance all night. Even the music during dinner was a problem (in a good way) because we all wanted to dance instead of finish our food. The packages are straight forward and Lifetime Ent. has everything you could want from a DJ and entertainment vendor. Ian is very open to song requests and gets to know you and your style to ensure you and your loved ones have a great event. For our wedding, Lifetime Ent. supplied multiple screens with towers, colorful light display, audio including for our videographer to connect to, photo booth, sparkulars, and the fog machine for the "dancing on clouds" effect. If you can, request Benny to be your MC! His vibes were awesome all night and until this day, we keep calling him Benny Benassi. He and Ian kept everyone dancing and it became a night we will always remember. Disclosure: He is not actually Benny Benassi, haha. There is no question that Ian and his team have been doing this for some time and do it well. Entertainment was a priority in our wedding planning because it sets the tone for the whole night - DJ, MC - all of it. But what struck us the most from the beginning is that Ian is so down to earth and easy to work with. Very professional, he follows up and makes sure you have everything you need. Definitely the heart of the company and we can't say enough how grateful we are for his time and service!

I was referred to DJ Ian Ali after I decided to use MPW Media Group for my wedding. The reviews…read moreonline were extremely promising! We emailed and met Ian. He is just a super nice, down to earth guy! He was also so easy to communicate with and made the whole wedding process completely stress-free! Music was very important to me, because I wanted everyone to have a good time-- old, young, picky music lovers etc. We went with top 40, songs people will sing to with plenty of 90s and 2000s throwbacks! We also added a percussionist to our package. Ian is a very experienced DJ and was extremely confident that he would DELIVER for the wedding! Now, I got married over two weeks ago and people are still RAVING about the music at my wedding!! Our host was Michael Wolk and he also brought so much LIFE to the party! All my friends and family were asking who the DJ and host was and requesting for their name to use for their future parties! The percussionist all the guests LOVED! It added a whole new level to the already awesome music! The dance floor was completely FULL the whole night!! I even saw aunties, grandma's, and husbands who won't dance-- completely LIT on the dance floor! My super fun photo and video team were also sneaking in a few moves!! A even had one friend who really appreciates music and travels to music festivals all the time, say that this was the BEST event he went to all year!! DJ Ian Ali and Michael really did such a good job keeping everyone pumped and excited! To see all our loved ones so happy and having a good time really made everything SO worth it! It's the best wedding gift we could ever receive, and we thank DJ Ian Ali, Host Michael Wolk and the whole Lifetime crew for helping us have our DREAM wedding!! HIRE them if you want the party of the year!!

I used this DJ for my daughter's Bat Mitzvah as an addition to a live band. The owner of the…read morebusiness, Bill Boettcher, told me less than 48 hours before my event that he would be sending a substitute when all along I was told it would be he at my event. All during the time before my event he was extremely difficult to reach but I let it go because my primary music was to be through the live band, who was fantastic. But there were reasons I also wanted a DJ and my reasons turned out to be valid. The DJ Bill ultimately sent was ok. the music was fine and really there was nothing in particular I needed to have the DJ do or to discuss with him so no complaints. But the motivator, as sweet as could be, did not seem to know her job. I had to tell her when to give out items and if I hadn't told her we would still be waiting. Only during the last hour did she do any kind of interaction with the kids. There were no games as I had been told there would be and items that were specifically ordered for my event, I never saw. All of this didn't leave me thrilled, but the worst was that I wrote to Bill after the event and let him know I just wanted to talk to him. I wasn't going to make too big a deal of it but I thought maybe the motivator was new and simply needed some guidance. I didn't hear back for a week and when I wrote again, I received a rather rude response admonishing me for not being more patient. He didn't like some of what I wrote in my second e-mail (which did indicate I was upset he hadn't responded yet)and indicated that was the only reason he was responding despite being so busy. Had he only written originally and asked me to wait until things quieted down I wouldn't be writing this. But he stated right out that he only responded to me because something upset him. Yet he didn't feel it important enough to answer me when I was upset, didn't feel it important enough to make sure things had gone well, and overall didn't think it important enough to provide good customer service. I don't know if things would have been better with a different motivator and if the owner had done my event, as originally planned. But he (Bill, the owner) is extremely difficult to reach when things are going well, and pretty much not at all unless he feels it is important. I would not use this company again.

The band was absolutely incredible! The singers were phenomenal, full of energy, amazing voices,…read moreand such great stage presence. Every performance had our guests completely engaged, and by the second song the entire wedding was on the dance floor. At one point we had the biggest love train I have ever seen. It felt like every single person joined in, and the energy in the room was electric. We received endless compliments all night and even after the wedding about how amazing the band was. They truly made the night unforgettable. The quality of service was top notch from start to finish. They were organized, easy to work with, and made sure every detail was perfect. Their responsiveness before the wedding made planning simple and stress free, and their professionalism showed in every interaction and performance. In terms of value, they exceeded every expectation, our guests kept saying it felt like being at a live concert. And their flexibility stood out too, they read the crowd perfectly and adjusted seamlessly to keep the party going strong all night. We could not be happier with our decision. The band brought so much life, joy, and energy to our wedding. If you want a full dance floor and memories your guests will talk about for years, this is the band to hire.

Thank you!!

Shatz did a great job at our wedding, and helped keep the energy up all night. He was very…read moreresponsive, and spoke to us on the phone a couple of weeks before the wedding to make sure he had all of the details noted.

Thank you!

This band ROCKS. Many people told me that our wedding in early July was the best one they'd ever…read morebeen to. I am absolutely certain that this was thanks to the band. We literally couldn't get people off the dance floor. At one point, I just looked over at my new husband and we both mouthed in utter amazement "JAZZ FLUTE?!?!" because the saxophonist also kills it on the flute. It was such an unforgettable party. I also loved working with Mitch, he was just so nice and accommodating. We were out-of-state, so his willingness to meet with us at our venue helped a lot. If you are on the edge about booking, get off!! Don't deprive yourself and your guests of The Skyline Drive Orchestra ;)

Hiring Skyline Drive Orchestra to play at our wedding on November 3rd, 2018 was probably the…read moregreatest decision that my wife and I have ever made together! Words cannot describe the energy that a live band will bring to your celebration, and this group is absolutely unmatched in their class. The breadth of their talent--the diverse range of vocals, exemplary instrumental capability, and sincere passion--allowed them to keep the party going all night long! Whether young or old, classic or contemporary in taste--every guest was enthralled and left with a lasting impression that this was some of the greatest musical entertainment they had ever experienced (and they continued to say so for weeks). Those who like to dance had to be herded away; those who don't typically dance, got out there and did so anyway! In short--if you have a pulse, you will love this performance. Planning a wedding can get stressful--after meeting Mitch and seeing the group's sample, we knew that we would never have to worry about the music, and that was a great comfort. From the moment we walked into the cocktail hour to hear the piano serenade, through the final number and a full dance floor hours later, we were continually impressed by how much Skyline Drive Orchestra had exceeded our already high expectations. My only hope is that we will see them again at a wedding in the future--hire them for yours, it will be the most important vendor decision you make! See their many reviews on Wedding Wire, seems Yelp isn't as big for wedding planning.

Having Phonograph DJ MAC at our wedding was one of the best decisions we made to make our day truly…read morespecial. We hired MAC to DJ both the cocktail hour and our reception. For the cocktail hour, MAC played music via authentic early 20th-century acoustic gramophones, which was an absolute blast and set the perfect atmosphere. He used a typical digital setup for the reception, and we selected more modern music. We enjoyed working with MAC before the wedding, and he made sure to choose music for both the cocktail hour and reception that suited our taste. If you want to make your event memorable, we highly recommend DJ MAC--the gramophones and MAC's fantastic wardrobe turn heads!

Joe and the band arrived on time and dressed to the nine's. They even brought a great DJ with them to spin while they were taking a break! They also took the time to learn a few songs that weren't on their list. They did an incredible rendition of a Pearl Jam song for my mother in law, that people are still talking about. Our guests were up and out of their seats from the moment Mack and Soul started to play. At the end of the night, people were yelling for an encore! The energy they bring to your event is amazing. When shopping for a band, we decided to go to Mack and Soul's showcase on a recommendation. We went to two other showcases after theirs but it was very clear that if we wanted the real thing, we had to go with Mack and Soul! Don't waste your time! Hire these guys!
