TapSnap created a photo booth for the Santa Cruz Chamber of Commerce annual gala and it was so much…read morefun! Everything was handled by a team of friendly, professionals from TapSnap and they did an awesome job. The team set things up so we could project the images in an animated stream during the event, provided links to the photos after the event, and were on hand to make sure everything was working throughout the whole evening. The photo booth with its digital background swapping and digital props make it so much more fun than a regular photo booth. We are so looking forward to having TapSnap 1171 back at the Santa Cruz Business Fair in the spring. Highly recommend!

We used I-Fi for an internal company evening reception event on May 7th…read more Ivor was always available when I needed to make contact. Was very pleasant to work with. Always had the answers. He synced up with the hotel contact to arrange all the details as to his equipment, set-up time, and understanding hotel and noise policies. I didn't need to get involved in anything. He was pro-active and you knew things would get done. He was on time, and the equipment he has is definitely 5 star quality. That's 5 start out of 5 stars :0) He has all types of music and really wants to understand what the crowd would like to hear so takes requests and encourages them. He's very personable and friendly with his customers. Our particular crowd wanted to hear urban music; world music mostly, but he has everything as I mentioned. Our evening work reception was a huge success then, due to the quality of his nature; quality of the equipment; and quality of the music selection. Our peeps had a great time.

The extra stars is that this year he was able to help us out with sound equipment when San Jose AV Rentals did not show up even though we had secured a reservation a month plus ahead. He came by the night before event last minute with the equipment and was flexible of staying at the event later than originally expected because of the extra sound equipment he supplied. We couldn't express enough how appreciative he came through for us in a stressful situation.

Our family and friends will not stop talking about how amazing he was. Not only was the music nonstop bangers but he kept the night running so smooth and seamless. At one point I couldn't find the coordinator who was supposed to drive my husband and I out to do sunset photos and DJ Ano saved the day. He took matters into his own hands and drove us himself ensuring we stuck to the timeline. Truly we are so grateful for having him dj our wedding. Unforgettable memories were made. Thank you so much.

Modern Collective Dance Company did a custom dance performance for our gala and really nailed it…read more The theme was "Black Tie & Boots" and they choreographed and performed a dance with six performers to the song "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" with a live band that they had never performed with before. It was perfect. The performance drew everyone out from the dining room and onto the dance floor. They must have inspired our gala patrons because everyone danced all night after the performance. That, and we raised $500,000 for our charity. They were fantastic! I would highly recommend them for you event.

We expected the best, and ... we've received the best"…read more Unlike other couples, my wife Cynthia and I had the privilege to work twice with Craig Johnson throughout the 2 years timespan. The first one was when we were our best friend's wedding organizers and they hired Craig. Since then, we had worked closely with Craig, planning every details and it came out perfectly for their wedding day. The following year when we were planning for our own big day, we searched no further and Craig was our only choice indeed. We have one of the weirdest date to choose from and we have the August 8th, 2008 wedding. Thank God, that Craig was available on that day and we know we made the right choice from the beginning. Craig was very professional in everything that he did. We were, and you certainly will be very pleased and calm from the first day of your meeting with him. He is always well-dressed, polite, and best of all, he's one that take care not only your entertainment concern, but also oversee the whole wedding as well. He will provide you a whole lot of inputs and creative ideas on doing certain things as far as the event orders are concerned. He arrived on time, set his equipments up without anyone noticing it and his help in song selections and his database is vast. Words wouldn't have been able to say even the least of Craig's services. He was there to calm both of us, to speak personally with the bridal party to ensure they have perfect entrances, and to work and coordinate the order with the hotel staffs in such a seamless way, one thing you know, you have Craig as wedding-organizer / DJ in one package. Lastly, this may not be a big issue, but it was very meaningful for both of us. Craig, isn't just another 'dj-guy' who get paid and did his part, but he is someone who went way further than that. He was involved in the party, he felt what we both felt, the emotions within us, and he even was touched by our love story video being shown. Where else, would you be able to hire someone, that not only does exceptional job, but also be there for you, for your lifetime event and ensure you have nothing else to worry about. If I were you, I wouldn't hesitant at once to have Craig in our function. In fact, the only worry I ever have with Craig was if he was already booked by someone else during my event day =) Thanks a lot Craig. God bless you.

From the moment we met Craig, we knew he was a perfect fit with us. I remember Craig asked us our…read morevision for our wedding celebration and without hesitation we replied, we want them to have fun! Craig's verve and sincerity, coupled with his very professional demeanor was evident from the first. He was flexible in adding on equipment to accommodate our venue and patient with us up until the last minute. He took responsibility for coordinating with our venue manager, in advance, to ensure everything would be perfect. Craig arrived early to set up, and continued his professional demeanor throughout the evening. Craig has an extensive and diverse play list. We had a large mix of "off the grid" musical requests and he played every one. He read the crowd intuitively and our guests danced all evening. Our friends and family have expressed that our wedding celebration was more fun than any they've attended. With warm thanks to Craig, our vision was a reality. We both highly recommend Craig for any event that would warrant an Emcee. I can't wait for an excuse to party and invite him back.
