Also ask Aviel about lighting before closing with anyone! You will not be disappointed!

Orlove was the organizer of Trick or Drink: L.A. Halloween Bar Crawl (2 Days). Tickets were…read morepurchased through Eventbrite. The 'passes' said they would allow us to enter different bars without paying a cover and that we would have access to special drink pricing. Turns out none of the bars had a cover and the drink specials were for everyone, not specific to those with barcrawling wrist bands. It was a scam and now I'm out $50 (paid for my gf) for no reason. If you see the name ORLOVE I would double check how legitimate the event is before going...

Inspired by/envious of my older sister's revelries in Los Angeles, I was desperate to experience the club life in '06 during the height of dirty electro/ blog haus days, but I was only a measly 14 year old at the time. My sister and I would reminisce about that certain time in dance music that we really loved and we wished there'd be an event in LA today that captures just that....and here we have Orlove Entertainment making our dreams come true one event at a time. Orlove's Blog Haus nights are killer; I feel my straightened and feathered scene hair growing back in and my dgaf attitude pumping through my veins when I step foot in The Echo on their nights. It's so nostalgic and really fucking fun. The reason why I have a night life the past three years is because of the nights these folks put together. Not only do they bring it back, they also expose LA to the sexy and beautiful world of French Disco. I always want to feel as sexy as I do when I go to their Roche Musique events...and speaking of sexy; I also get to cool off poolside at their SkyBar events at the Mondrian. I mean nothing can beat live beats, poolside, and bikini clad women.

I had a Mixterious Force photo booth and 360 degree photo booth for a party and it was a huge hit!…read more Joey, his wife and daughter arrived early to set everything up. The final photobooth set up looked SO GOOD and professional! Check out their instagram to see all their beautiful work. The photos printed out nicely and the 360 videos came out clearly. The props were minimal (which I liked!) and fit my theme. Everything was just perfect. Communication for months prior to the event was great. Joey and his wife were awesome throughout the whole process of planning the party, time frames, permits needed on my end, and I was able to help customize everything to my liking! I was so happy to finally meet them in person and see how friendly there were to my guests and I. P I would definitely highly recommend Joey if you're looking for a Photobooth for your next party!

This review is for Mixterious Force DJ's for your wedding reception entertainment…read more Joey was a pleasure to work with . . . he meet with us at least 3 times prior to our wedding to discuss songs, time line, and details regarding our reception. He was also willing to meet with us at the venue on an evening before the wedding to discuss lighting as well as to test a projection of a lighted wedding logo. On the day of the reception, Joey and Randy worked together: Joey was the emcee will Randy did the DJing. Joey did a great job emceeing and Randy played many of the songs we listed. They also played songs that our guests requested. We highly recommend Joey and Randy from Mixterious Force DJ's for any event.

In fact, though they're…read morelisted under their mailing address - I think for the past year, they've been performing at studio/stage at 520 N. Western, within the boundaries, I think, of Koreatown. It's a nice (tiny) little space, but more importantly, I think Playwright's Arena has very quietly been doing some of the most important work in L.A for the past few years. Their current production (if you happen to see this in July 2007) is a truly wonderful play by the late John Belluso, a disabled playwright who was doing some of his best work when he died at an early age. His plays are incredibly smart, political, personal, and specific, and they can range from incredibly frightening looks at just how far around the bend caregivers can go, to PYRETOWN, the play that's up right now: Basically, a very clear-eyed, surprisingly unsentimental look at a very believable relationship between a 23 year-old quadriplegic and a 42 year-old single mother who's reaching the end of her rope. Beautiful. Unique. Theatre cut down to its essence: Great writing, great acting, nicely supported by simple and effective designs. Even if this extraordinary play isn't up by the time you catch it, you should just always go see anything Playwright's Arena does. They're doing the most consistently diverse (in every sense of the word) theatre, and no matter what your stripe, I think you're going to find yourself touched in ways no other medium can touch you. Check 'em out whenever they've got something up!

Security here is super strict!…read more This is the first time I'd ever seen them using dogs to sniff people for drugs. As you make your way through the security check, the lines split up for guys and girls. Girls...be prepared to be groped. The security lady who was handling the line I was in, straight groped my boobs and patted down my butt and right above my crotch and didn't even buy me a drink first! Once inside, there are 2 areas for 21+ to get drinks, however, you have to stay in this (fenced off) area and finish your drinks before you can leave. You'll be able to hear the music but you won't be able to see the stage, so that kind of sucks. They also had a few food trucks in case you get the munchies...I happened to pay the grilled cheese truck a visit. Despite the nasty heat wave we've been experiencing in LA this summer, I'm happy to say that the stage area in nice a shaded due to all the tall buildings in downtown. Still...it can get pretty hot with all the bodies. Luckily, they had a giant mister near the back of the stage area that you can run to for a bit of an escape. Security is posted EVERYWHERE inside. Overall, I had lots of fun (went on Sunday Sept 20) and felt like this was a much more laid-back.chill event compared to some of the bigger ones. The space is small, but so is the crowd. If they have a decent lineup next year, I'll definitely return.

They had police dogs sniffing people out for drugs, too. Mad Decent itself was enjoyable and not too crowded! Eventually more people started packing in the place, but there was generally a lot more space than usual. Also, the music was loud and the area wasn't too sunny, so you could still enjoy the experience without being up against the stage. There was a free water-fill station, plenty of food trucks onsite alcohol if you're 21+, and decent porta-potties. My only problems were that the DJs seemed to play a lot of the same songs, but I loved getting to hear Netsky for the first time. Riff Raff and CL were amazing, and Diplo was really fun onstage. Like any sort of rave-type setting, things can get pretty crazy. Watch out for anyone super drunk or obviously tripping on drugs. If you ever come to Mad Decent in LA (or any similar event) keep in mind that the parking lots (not inside a structure) are about $10-$15, and that they sometimes pack more cars in than there should be. My boyfriend and I had to wait for another person to pull out their car, because the parking lot attendants had other people park behind us. They can block your car in if they feel like it, so be wary if you think you might have to leave early.

Thierry and Mike at HiFi5 are the real deal! My wife and I were having a hard time finding a DJ…read morethat matched our musical taste. Glad we found these guys. They are not your average corny wanna-be wedding DJ. These guys have been DJ'ing weddings, bars, clubs and other events for the last 10+ years. They have the top 40 hits, & wedding classic songs as well, but most importantly they have deep music collections of high-quality tunes to keep people of all ages rocking all night! I can't say enough about these guys. They have high quality equipment that sounds great, and they know how to read the crowd and get people dancing! They are often in high demand, so book early. I'm stoked that we hired HiFi5; a DJ can really make or break a wedding and they did a great job. Even the old people were on the dance floor til the end!

Excellent venue for a corporate holiday party. We were skeptical at first it being a civic center…read morelocation and all but it turned out lots of fun. Be wary though, it's a DIY kinda of place. You only rent the space, tables and mic (& accessories) but you have to supply your own food/caterer and bar/bartender. We were given the lobby and main room for our party and it fit us perfectly. In the end we hosted about 120 people. The room is decorated with heavy black curtains all around which really helps in decorating because any color you add will pop. The black curtain also help it from looking like we had our annual school dance at the auditorium lol. We were able to bring in our own basic Ipod/speaker system to play Christmas music throughout our time. We were given a podium, microphone and riser to display our raffle prices. Definitely all helpful! We were also given free reign to bring in our own drinks & bartender, so that was set up in the lobby. It all came together very nicely. We also brought in our own caterer and waitstaff which was a nice perk. All in all, I wouldn't dismiss this location if you are looking for a company or formal event. With a little bit of decorating and creating table arrangements you can make this place come to life.

The venue was a nice and great price. But the reason why i gave it a three star is because i just…read morerecently had an event there and on the day of my event i seen paint equipment in the lobby with paper cover all over the floor. Not to mention the place smells like chemicals and i had kids attending this event. No one emailed me about them plainting the place so i thought that was just tacky. Richard saved the day by removing the stuff to another room and cleaned the lobby. But niether then that it was a great place and the event turned out great.

When planning my wedding I knew I wanted the reception to be a super fun and memorable party…read more Having a good DJ was crucial to achieving that goal. Booking with Location DJ was one of the best decisions I made. They were so easy to work with and made that part of wedding planning a breeze. I loved having the ability to create a "must play" list and a timeline of events all online. They have a great email system for reminders and follow up as well. The day of service was amazing! The Location DJ crew showed up on time set up the lights and sound system without a hitch. My venue had some restrictions for noise and how the speakers were to be set up and it was never an issue for Michael and his team. Everything was flawless! I would highly recommend Location DJ!!

There are so many services that are a complete guess whether or not the sound, lighting, decorations etc will actually turn out good. I can say without a doubt that our corporate party turned out amazing. Michael and the team planned everything from the start, were on time to the venue and had brand new equipment (we ordered sound equipment, DJ, lighting and trussing with uplights) that looked and sounded amazing. We have these guys already contracted to do all of our future events because I now know I can fully trust their amazing work and everything we ask for will go according to plan. If you have ever planned events, you know that everything that happens is a reflection on YOUR own planning and research to find good companies. Selfishly, these guys made me look good to my leadership team and I am thankful for that.
