I cannot say enough great things about Mike and It Takes Two Entertainment. From the very start,…read moreMike was extremely supportive and guided our family through so much of the party process. He was patient, supportive, offered valuable thoughts and opinions, and really worked with our daughter making sure she was comfortable during the party as well as super excited. He was creative with his thinking and offered fantastic ideas that really made some special moments to stand out. On the day of the party, Mike was amazing with the guests. He kept the kids entertained and provided a space that was full of energy, excitement, and just down right fun. He provided us with an amazing set of dancers. They were truly exceptional keeping everyone dancing throughout the entire event. They interacted with everyone, all ages of guests, and was able to make sure the dance floor was a comfortable place to bust a move and have the most fun. Mike also made an incredible video montage of my daughter too. He creatively captured and put together a beautiful "walk down memory lane" of our daughter that truly warmed hearts. The music was properly chosen and then whole thing was OUTSTANDING! I could not be more impressed by Mike and It Takes Too. His expertise, professionalism, patience, and creativeness made this very special day for our family so memorable. We feel very lucky for all the support that was given. I am ready to book him for our other daughter's Bat Mitzvah taking place in 2019!

We were pretty disappointed with our DJ from Tom Barrett for our wedding last summer…read more Interactions were great PRIOR to the event. Professional on the phone, seemingly interested in what we wanted. Actual event was kind of 50/50. Yes, someone (who we'd never talked to) showed up on time and looked nice. Yes, he played all of our "must play" songs. But, some really bad decisions. Mispronounced my last name (which is not hard). Was distracted during speeches and let an awkward silence ring out when they were over until someone had to go up and ask him to turn on the music again. He responded, "I thought you were toasting." Yes, but we're done! I explicitly requested classical or jazz music for cocktail hour, and he played schmaltzy Kenny G. When we asked if he could put some classical on, he said he didn't have any. Finally, he played the song "Last Resort" by Papa Roach. I'm sorry, but at a wedding??? The lyrics include, "Cut my life into pieces, this is my last resort...suffocation, no breathing" etc. They did have a no-play list, but this is where we thought we had to say no to things like "YMCA," didn't occur to us that it would be not to play angry emo music. Hmmm. Finally, accepted money from an inebriated guest who wanted to "serenade" us on the microphone. TWICE. Funny now...not so much at the time. I wrote to Tom Barrett after the wedding with a comment card and full details of how we were dissatisfied. Never heard back. Would not suggest this company.

A really good experience. Ken our disc jockey was great. I gave him a play list of about 25 songs…read morealong with a description of what I was looking for just 10 minutes before our event started. He not only played everything on our list, but did a great job of picking music in the same vein as our selections. I've received many compliments on the music selection. I also asked Ken to keep it pretty low key in terms of commentary and his approach was perfect for our event, an anniversary party with friends and family of all ages. He even downloaded some unusual late requests and played some music I brought that isn't available commercially. We set this up very last minute and while I had a small bit of trouble closing the loop with Tom, in fairness it was due to 12 days notice, just before Thanksgiving. The price was very reasonable and I would without hesitation recommend them (and especially Ken) again.

This is the DJ you want for your event! We met the husband and wife duo at a wedding event in…read morePhiladelphia. We loved their energy right away. They listen to your needs and make you aware of whether they are right for your event or not. I had several of my wedding guests come up to me and compliment Jarrard and his wife, Gina, for how they kept the momentum on the dance floor. He also has some fun little games (i.e. His Bag of Tricks) that get all of the guests to interact. They were professional, kind, understanding, energetic, and totally understood what was needed for the wedding. I would recommend them to my own family. Do yourself a favor and at least meet with them so you can see what I mean. They'll win you over, and they are consummate professionals. I hope you are lucky enough to enjoy their services. Good luck to whoever is reading this, and getting married. :)

Working with Stylus DJ Entertainment was incredibly easy and we were so pleased with how our event…read moreturned out! I was incredibly glad to be supporting a women-owned business, too! All initial communications went through Jane, the contracts were super easy to read (including all specifications for the venue and day-of the event), and the payments were easy to make. Once we were assigned our DJ, our communication for the actual day of the event all went through her. DJ Mareshah did a great job and was incredibly kind and easy to work with! We had an introduction call to make sure that we both felt it was a good fit (it was!) and she had a similar taste in music to my now husband. We used the Stylus DJ Entertainment planning spreadsheets and were able to lay out the music for the entire event. She talked us through what types of songs we should be thinking about for each part of the event and we were able to take that information and put together a great list. In terms of vendor coordination, she coordinated directly with our venue vendors and planners for the arrival the night of the event. DJ Mareshah was able to get all of the songs that we requested to have on hand and did an incredible job with the logistics, formalities, and announcements. (We had a few moments uncommonly found in wedding receptions - like a choir singing and an icebreaker game.) She was able to maneuver easily between different types of songs throughout the event and found the types of songs that the guests enjoyed the most and was able to home in on those at the end of the night. All in all, a great night! Thank you so much for being a part of our big day!

Simply put - Jane and Stylus DJ Entertainment and her musical artistry was one of the best parts of…read moreour wedding. It was an honor of a lifetime to work with this company and I will always - always - remember the music Jane and Stylus tailored for us and the art she made at our wedding, both spinning vinyl and digital DJ'ing. I am BIG BIG into music - a huge fan of 80-90s rock and an electric guitarist myself (aspiring :)) so when it came to finding an artist that truly could capture this love for music, my fiance and I were very very intentional. The People: We picked Stylus in part because it is SO AWESOME that it is run by women - and inclusive of all people. AND it is run by a bad ass artist named Jane who is a musical genius on top of being a kind soul. Her and her staff care deeply about their work and the art they make. Collaboration: Jane was so intentional in our planning process in incorporating our musical perspective and opinions as we built playlists on playlists together for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception - shifting between genres and vibes. Simultaneously, I will say however, we could just simply give her a vibe like Goo Goo Dolls and Hootie & the Blowfish and she could create a welcome playlist that seemed to read our minds - deeply resonating with me and the songs I cherished from my family and childhood without me even having to list them for her. I still listen to this playlist at work and on runs because it so resonated with me. Art Form: Jane did it ALL, spinning vinyl, MC'ing, and digital DJ'ing. She spun vinyl for our colorful vinyl cocktail hour bringing her own cherished vinyl records to the wedding. The vinyl cocktail hour was a deep tribute to 80s rock/pop. To find someone who cared more for 80s rock/pop than I did I didn't think was possible - until I met Jane. She curated a cocktail hour that had our guests reminiscing on their past shouting "I LOVE ZEPPELIN." She spun surrounded by my paintings, and it was just art surrounded by art. She also MC'd our wedding in the most graceful and loving fashion, seamlessly transitioning us between dances and toasts. She ended the night digital DJ'ing the dance portion of our reception incorporating both my and my fiance's wide range of tastes from Rufus Du Sol to Marc Anthony. As I said - Jane and her staff are musical geniuses and so well versed in all genres. I know this because I got to see Jane work and I got to see her colleague work at my sister's wedding too. I can not recommend this company enough. If you appreciate art and music is of the utmost importance to you - what you will find at Stylus is a community of musicians that mirror your passion and amplify it. Thank you Jane - for the soundtrack of a lifetime. Forever forever grateful.

Their online client portal brought up questions we didn't even think to ask, and as such ensured we had every part of the evening covered.

Everything started off great. I booked lighting and sound services for a corporate event. A few…read moreweeks before the event, I contacted Natalie to remove the lighting from the package (yet keep the sound) because I was instructed to by management. Not only did she cancel all of the services, she called me angrily about it and HUNG UP on me when I tried to explain and see how we could move forward. I do not recommend working with her. From an event professional's standpoint, things change, and it's important to deal with vendors who can work with you and who won't call you in a rage and cancel services because of that. Her demeanor went from nice to completely rude and unprofessional in a matter of seconds. I'm honestly so shocked at how I was treated.

According to the company they could not provide that. So we had to supply the mic stands and clip-on mic (with receiver). They did end up providing mics, but it was after much discussion. The DJ performance was ok, but I did not love the transitions between songs, especially since some songs skipped in the middle. With that being said, their price was cheaper than many others and the DJ (Nate) was pleasant to deal with, however he can be opinionated (given his experience). I guess you get what you pay for. Also given that they are an established company, I was really skeptical given that they did not have many reviews on yelp. Once we signed up, the email exchanges were not very professional while discussing details. Their level of organization could be better as well.

I don't Pyle recommend this Company and especially Nate to anyone and everyone! He is a true professional and was the best asset to our wedding! Everyone loved him! Thanks again Nate and PSR!!
