We loved working with Mike this past weekend! When I reached out, he was thoughtful and responsive…read moreand helped work with me to find a package that fit within my budget. He kept communication open in the months prior to the wedding, helping us plan the reception and timing of each event, working with our reception to coordinate, and providing recommendations that fit our style as needed. He was organized, prepared, and had excellent communication throughout the planning process and wedding night. He helped us stay on time throughout the reception (and as the bride, that was SO helpful because I had no idea what time it was all night). I couldn't have imagined a more perfect evening, and that was in huge part because of DJ Mike. I received many compliments from wedding guests on Mike - we would highly recommend him!!

Mike was the exact person/professional/DJ we needed for our 6/17/17 wedding. If we could give him…read more10 out of 5 stars, we would! From the first contact, Mike was always professional, prompt, and it was clear he knew his stuff. Not only is he great at what he does, but he is also always trying to re-innovate and stay on top of the newest trends without getting distracted from making your event the best possible. Mike is a maven of his skill, and it would be easy to see his business expanding into a full service wedding company. He kept everyone engaged, tailored the music to our exact taste, and fit seamlessly into our wedding incorporating culturally traditional pieces, and fun engaging games. He also coordinated the music in a super complicated set up without a single hiccup (3 floors plus outdoor ceremony space). Mike collaborated well with the other vendors, and even gave us some great recommendations for other vendors we had not booked yet. He was available if needed before and day of, and was honestly, the reason the bride didn't stress the day of. Certainly worth every penny and more and we could not imagine having anyone else in his place!!! Thank you so much for going above and beyond, making our day absolutely perfect!

She sent our photos with a very quick turnaround on a cute little wooden thumb drive, and she continues to send us mini calendars of her personal photography projects. My only note - maybe get a second set of eyes on the configuration of group shots. I don't think she has as much experience with that - we had some weird spacing in some of the family photos, but for us it kinda fit ;)

We are repeat customers and want to thank Jims Tents for going above and beyond for us. We hired…read morethem 10 years ago for a 40th anniversary backyard party in Ithaca NY, and then again this weekend for a 50th anniversary party. They came right when expected, set up the tents and tables promptly. The quality of the tent and tables/chairs was good -- just what we expected. Later, after they had left, we changed our minds and wanted low tables rather than cocktail tables. They made a big effort and came the next day to meet our extra request -- really going out of their way to be helpful and make our party a success. I highly recommend this business and we will definitely hire them again.

Chris and his team were absolutely incredible to work with throughout our entire wedding planning…read moreprocess in Ithaca! I'm a detail-oriented person myself so deeply appreciated Chris' professional, highly organized, and fun presence throughout our wedding process. Chris handled so many components of our wedding - from the amplification for our ceremony, to cocktail hour music, to being our MC for the night, to the lighting, to the reception with live musicians. Everything ran so well and the dance floor was packed the entire night with guests from all walks of life and ages - family, friends, aunts and uncles alike. Before planning a wedding, I didn't realize just how critical a DJ is to making a wedding run smoothly. That person ends up being the key coordinator for the night - handling introductions, announcing and facilitating key components like first dances and speeches, and making sure the flow of the music engages all guests. Thanks to Chris, my husband and I were confident that each aspect of our wedding would be covered seamlessly. Chris also went above and beyond to make our wedding special. When we asked if he could help us find live musicians to perform alongside him, he sourced a drummer and several saxophonists for us. It made our wedding so unique, and afterwards, many guests specifically said how amazing they thought Washburn Entertainments was. Thanks SO much Chris for everything you did to make our wedding possible, you're the best! (The photos included with this review are by Chris Szulwach at The Story Photography)

Settle in for a long one, although the other previous 23 5-star ratings speak for themselves, I…read moremust add. Chris and his staff went utterly above and beyond for my wedding. Not only at the wedding itself but from the moment I inquired about him almost two years ago. During that long process, he always knew who I was, knew exactly when my wedding was and what we had talked about, and never forgot any detail at all. When I told him I wanted to make a slideshow for my mother and grandfather instead of a dance he said, "you've got a lot on your plate, would you like for me to make it instead?" OF COURSE I jumped all over it - all I had to do was give him the song and it was absolutely perfect and all three of us - my mother, grandfather, and myself were crying on the dance floor watching it. I changed first dance songs on him last minute - no problem. Needed our new song cut down and processional edited - he was on it! Then sent them to me on the agreed upon date to listen and review and, they were exactly what I had asked him to do! In fact, I wanted a fade out instead of a cut off and he was on it and on the day of we got our perfect fade out! He was perfect and spot on with our music tastes - an eclectic, strange range - playing disney instrumental before the ceremony, bluegrass and blues, elvis and michael buble and then almost entirely Rupaul for our reception (at least from what I remember!) there was enough for everyone! He was incredible at reading the crowd, spoke when necessary, and mostly just hung in the background making sure people stayed engaged and present. The highlight, BY FAR, is his use of TVs. He had taken footage of us leaving our ceremony, posing for pictures alone and with our party, and a little during our first dance which was so essential for me to have some concrete memories of the day. It all goes by so quickly, and I had a bit of wedding amnesia, and his video and pictures were essential to commit the day to memory. But OF COURSE we got all the raw footage he took in a Dropbox for us to review and use as we'd like. His staff were friendly, professional, Tori was just the right amount of professional and fun - I dare say she upstaged me at my own wedding with her sweet, sweet dance moves and I loved every second of it! THANK YOU CHRIS & TEAM! I just wish we had more family events that we could hire you for more often!!
