DJ Rockin Steve is a solid professional, just a few phone calls, emails, and a meeting at the venue, and he was good to go. My wife and I were impressed by how smoothly every step in the itinerary went, from introductions to the end. We also loved how the songs we requested got played and his song choices kept the dance floor busy.

I was fortunate enough to find Steven playing electric violin at a local restaurant for happy hour and booked him immediately. He's SO good. He rocked our pre-ceremony, ceremony and cocktail hour back in April. He was our #1 most complimented vendor by our guests. You won't be disappointed!! Bonus is you can also hire DJ services through him, and we did. DJ Matt was fantastic. Our dance floor was a vibe all night long and he was a pleasure to work with. 1000/10 all around!

We opted for a violin for the ceremony and Sarah was simply splendid and was so helpful along the way with music suggestions! Anthony, our DJ was so helpful with planning, and stayed an extra hour so we could continue partying! Thank you all for Ana amazing experience at our wedding!

If you are looking for a great birthday party venue, nothing is going to beat Colors. Everything…read moreabout the experience was amazing. We even had several guests say it was the best birthday party they've been to. From the moment we walked in the door everything was taken care of and went smoothly. The party hosts were top notch. They regularly checked in to make sure we were happy and to see if we needed anything. And they were great about diffusing situations when someone got upset for whatever reason. It was a great balance between dance party and organized games. Everything from musical chairs to a limbo contest and line dances like the macarena. One of the best things is that Colors is one of the most afforded parties around. Definitely highly recommend having an event here!

We went for a birthday party the other day and my kids had a blast. It's very structured with guided games and dances the entire time. It's unlike anything else around here.

The staff at Salem's is friendly and as helpful as you need them to be. The central location is easy to get to from anywhere in the city and having a small parking lot attached is a major blessing as well. I would say that private parties and music shows are probably the best fit for this venue but they are accommodating to all types of events.

I cannot say enough about DJ-Tone!

That feeling was right-he was PERFECT. The dance floor was full the whole night, he kept thing running smoothly during our ceremony up until the very end of the night. If he saw something going awry, even if it wasn't his job, he stepped in and made it right. We can't thank you or recommend you enough, Tony. HE's the BEST!

She also was very open to our input, chatted with the minister in advance of the service and came to the rehearsal to get a sense of the sanctuary and where she could get the best pictures from.

If you're looking for a professional photographer with a great -- for posed and candid shots -- and want to work with someone who's low-stress and fun, Annie is a fantastic choice.

The idea of bringing the bar home sounded good, and I found Steven's website for mixology classes at home. It was definitely within our price range, and I worked with Steven to customize the drinks for the bride's favorite liquors (whiskey and scotch) that also worked with our art deco glamour, Gatsby-esque party theme. Steven was teaching a class, so his business partner Randi arrived right on time to do the set-up at our location, and she was just so sweet. I had a nice time getting to know her before the party started. Steven arrived a bit later, but was just there to observe; Randi was great at teaching! None of us had ever done any *real* bartending or mixologying (I think I just verbified a verb that was previously nounified...*grammatical mind blown*), and Randi was great at helping us learn the ropes. She also introduced all of the drinks really well, teaching us the basics of what makes a drink a cocktail, and the basic structure for how to experiment on our own (I found that part particularly exciting, and have even made a cocktail or two at home already!) I think the resounding favorite from the group was the French 75 - it was so good! Even our group's pickiest eater/drinker enjoyed her drinks, which is saying something! I would highly recommend Steven's business to anyone looking to do a home party! Very affordable, customizable, and just a ton of fun. It was especially fun with a room full of lightweights!

Not only does Steven give a brief history of the liquor or cocktail you would be working with, but you get to experiment (and try) both classic and modern versions of all of your favorite cocktails.
