Let me begin this post by explaining that I have been a professional wedding planner for 7+ years…read more Therefore I hold all of my vendors to a certain standard... Ryan and his team surpassed this standard tenfold! From the booking process and through planning, Ryan was always responsive and helpful if I had a question or concern. On the day of, he and his team arrived early and began working right away. They made everyone feel comfortable and beautiful all day long! My favorite part about Ryan and his team was the fact that I would forget they were there. We were just so comfortable and happy and in our element. Less than two weeks after the wedding, we had our extended highlight film and I have watched it no less than 10 times. It was so perfect- it truly surpassed every expectation I had when it came to our video. If you are hesitant about hiring a videographer, DON'T BE! Having Ryan's video to show our families, children and grandchildren one day has been the greatest gift we ever got. Absolutely blew my mind how wonderful this whole experience was. Thank you so very much Ryan!

Wedding cinematography has definitely reached new heights. Ryan's work far exceeded all of our…read moreexpectations. When our same day edit came on, there was nothing but silence, a few moments of laughter, a few tears, and an overwhelming response from our guests came in on how ridiculously great Ryan did on the video. If you are looking to surprise your guests, a same day edit is the way to go. It's a highlight video of the days happenings and they play it right at the reception, and include tidbits of the reception! It is really amazing because his artistic vision is definitely out of this world and he works sooooo fast. He is definitely in the zone at one point, with his headphones on and crazy ninja editing skills. I encourage you to work with him. He is easy to talk to, super duper responsive to emails, and will not let you down. He catches all those beautiful moments and the pure unadulterated emotions of love and a joyous celebration. You want to remember your best day of your life, this is the way to do it!!! The unfortunate news for my LA friends is that he is moving to the east coast. The good news is that my east coast friends can enjoy his services! Love his work. He is truly the best.

Ben and Taylor are PHENOMENAL. I've worked with them on a number of projects over the last couple…read moreof years and the videos have always been nothing short of outstanding. They are wonderful people who are enthusiastic about your project, generate creative ideas, and produce results that exceed your vision every time.

Ben and his team created a spectacular marketing video that blew our entire executive team and…read morestaff away. He listens to what your needs are and offers great ideas to achieve your goals. He is detailed oriented, organized, and easy to work with. On the day of our shoot, Ben had a check list of shots he needed to take and executed with efficiency. His quick turn-around time for our video product and revision shows that he is proficient in video editing. Beyond that, he also understood the importance of sound in a video. He developed the script and worked with us to perfect our voice-overs, his selection in background music to tie it together gave our video the modern feel. If we are ever in the market for another video of some sort, I'd definitely come back to use Ben. TLDR: High quality product, incredibly reasonable price. You won't find someone that can offer the same quality product at a lower price. Trust me, my team and I have looked at all the vendors in the DMV area.

I highly Paul for any of your DJ needs! We found him on Yelp and Weddingwire and asked if we could…read morewatch him DJ locally to see how he performs and he provided us details on the time and location. He has a very simple and efficient set up with lights and sound systems. What was really impressive for us were the music videos that he played that went with the music. Once we saw that and saw/heard his transitions we knew he was the DJ we wanted. We had an unusual theme for our wedding, we did a costume theme "Talk Nerdy to Me" and Paul was not only happy to work with us, but he also had some awesome ideas on how to truly make it our own. With the video screen package, he was able to do movie/you tube clips and a slide show. When it came to getting strange and unusual music, Paul was able to do it with no issues. We asked for quite a few songs that were not in his database including traditional Chinese and Estonian Country music and he was able to get it with no issues. His online planning system made it really easy for us to put our Ceremony and Reception plan together. All of my guests LOVED the music choices. Part of it was our doing in putting together a song list, and part of it was Paul reading the party and playing accordingly. He even accommodated my niece's request for the Hokie Pokie. Don't take my word for it, Weddings are not the gigs he does in the DC area. Watch him in action and see for yourself. I feel that if other businesses book him on a regular basis, he is probably a good choice for your wedding. I am really glad I acted on this assumption, and had a chance to work with Paul. He has my highest recommendations.

Paul Garza DJed our wedding last Friday and did an amazing job. First of all, we only hired Paul…read moreabout a month beforehand because up until then, we thought my husband's friend would be able to DJ for us. At the last minute, he wasn't going to be able to get his equipment out to us in time so I found Paul and reached out to him. Paul told me he was available and met with us in person. He was reasonably priced and we couldn't have lucked out better for a last minute booking. Even though our friend couldn't DJ, Paul let him do all of the introductions which was really sweet. He even let our friend take the reigns and do a couple songs! Paul never felt like our friend was stepping on his toes and we really appreciated that he let us do that. Paul kept the party going from the beginning. I've had so many people since the end of our wedding telling me how great our DJ was. We had a weird mix of twenty somethings and sixty somethings with not much in between. Even still, Paul was able to judge the crowd and keep people dancing. I don't think there was a second all night long that people weren't all over the dance floor! His online portal is very straight forward and easy to use. I was able to put in many details and everything we wanted to hear was played at our wedding. Paul is also not one of those DJs that keeps interrupting songs to talk. He knew when it was appropriate to interject and when it wasn't. My husband commented that this was one of his favorite things about Paul: his professionalism on and off the dance floor. Definitely consider Paul Surreal Entertainment for your next event - you won't regret it!
