Peter is the greatest! He is very accommodating, kind, professional and easy to work with! I the groom on the other hand, was a bit vague about what songs to put on the dance floor because the bride and I were a bit flustered with wedding prep, but the day of, SOMEHOW Peter put on all the songs we loved to dance to! How does he do it? It's like magic. So, it seems, Peter is not only an exceptional DJ and MC, he is also a mind reader of sorts. But really, you can see his decades of experience shine in how he makes everything work so well and keeps the atmosphere so lively and joyful during the wedding! Even knowing what songs to put, you really see the experience come out. So for those of you who are looking for a DJ, I know what it's like to comb through so many reviews, many who have high reviews and go "who do we trust?" "they're all good", "how do we know which one's legit?" Let me stop you right there. Peter is legit. Peter is good. Peter is someone you can trust. read more

We hired Peter for our traditional South Indian Wedding ceremony and reception event. Not only was Peter incredibly responsive, but he managed to sync up an extensive list of songs to play at the appropriate times for our intricate traditional South Indian ceremony that lasted about 3 hours. Peter even went above and beyond by practicing all the Indian names so that he could announce everyone correctly for photos and again for Reception entrances. He's all around a pleasure to work with! Go hire him for your events :) read more

Peter is amazing! He is so knowledgeable and passionate about what he does and it shows through his work. My one request was that we had a packed dancefloor during our wedding and he delivered by bringing the party vibes we wanted. He has a wide variety of music and custom mixes, so rest assured he probably has something that aligns with your taste. He is also such a professional and so easy to work with. If you are looking for someone who knows their stuff, can bring the vibe, and makes everything easy then you should go with Peter! read more

Peter was amazing from start to finish for our August 2023 wedding! We really appreciated that in addition to DJing, we were also able to work with him for MCing and uplighting. He is versatile and attentive. Per my request, towards the end of the night, he transitioned to some EDM favorites which made me so happy and allowed me to have fun closing the night with our guests. Peter has a wonderful personality and was a joy to work with! Would highly recommend Peter!! read more

We were a couple planning a wedding from another state and Peter had great communication. He was prepared and had great song choices for all age groups. Very Professional! read more

Peter was awesome! The day of the actual wedding, everyone loved our ceremony, happy hour and reception music. Our dance floor was so packed people didn't have time to go get drinks at the open bar haha! We had a lot of questions / were not experienced with wedding planning and Peter was so kind to always quickly answer our questions and hop on the phone with us. Peter has a ton of experience with weddings so he was able to provide us sample lists of songs for important moments and guide how we should think about the progression of music and entertainment throughout the wedding. He also provided the uplighting that set the mood for our reception / dance floor. read more

I can't say enough amazing things about Peter but I'll try to keep this short. 1. We were surprised when there wasn't a dance floor we thought we ordered at our reception so Peter took it upon himself to call local vendors to try to get us a dance floor. 2. The best day he sent us video of some special moments at our reception that we otherwise wouldn't have had since our videographer and photographer were gone. 3. He kept our reception to our timeline and has such a fun and calming presence. He was very responsive in the planning process and helped us with details we wouldn't have thought about. Do yourself a favor and don't look anywhere else! read more

I recently had my wedding in San Clemente, CA and Peter was the DJ. If you want someone who knows their stuff and no BS, Peter is your person. In addition to handling the music, Peter has lights, smoke machines, sparks, tree lights and many other things. Peter was professional, joy to work with, had good attitude, and a great communicator. I highly recommend working with Peter. read more

Vive Entertainment was absolutely AWESOME! We had Peter as a DJ and he was so organized, easy to work with, and made our day so fun! Due to COVID, we had to cut the ceremony and reception by 100 people and 1 hour. Peter got all 40 people dancing and having a blast even with the restrictions. Not only that, but he ran through everything so smoothly in both the ceremony and reception :). Thank you for all of your help and great music! read more

It was such a pleasure working with Peter. Peter was our wedding DJ. The music was perfect all throughout the night. We had such a great time. Peter kept us on our feet dancing all night. We can't thank Peter enough. read more

Peter was very accommodating and professional. Exactly what we were looking for in our wedding. He had great awareness and did not impose. Peter knew we were very excited for our first dance and he stood off to the side during our first dance so that the best pictures could be taken. He was still in the picture but had a perfect reaction and improved the picture greatly. Peter made sure everything ran very smoothly and he was able to change anything as we asked him to no questions asked. He even came up to us unimposing and asked if certain songs could be played. Peter ran the wedding professionally, classy and most of the time we did not notice him which is what we consider to be a great DJ. I'm sure he would adjust to whatever you want at your event. I would highly recommend Peter to anyone looking for a Wedding DJ. read more

Peter went above and beyond to make our wedding run smoothly. All my guests were very impressed! The music was great and people were dancing all night. Peter was also very easy to work with and very responsive. While talking to him on the phone he helped me pick out songs for my ceremony which was super helpful as a bride with so much to do! I would highly recommend him for your wedding or event! read more

We were extremely impressed by Vive entertainment for our wedding. The location was at the Ritz-Carlton, and included indoor and outdoor audio/visual needs. Peter was knowledgable, prepared, and a phenomenal MC. He is an amazing mix of professionalism, while still adding so much excitement to the event. We are so pleased with his company and highly recommend him to anyone in need of audio/visual services. He truly made memories for us that we will treasure forever. read more

Peter is the BEST in the business when it comes to DJing/entertainment. We booked him for our wedding at Montage Laguna Beach and he made it an absolute dream. Peter is a great communicator, professional, proactive, friendly and incredibly talented. Our family has worked with Peter for years and we are SO glad we chose him for our special day (and yes, we already booked him for our anniversary party next year!). Thank you Peter for making our wedding day/night so magical! read more

Peter from Vive Entertainment was awesome to work with! He was very reasonably priced and provided such great entertainment and music. I had my wedding at Talega Golf Course and he provided everything we needed (I know nothing about cords, microphones, etc.) He provided microphones for the ceremony, pre-ceremony music, cocktail hour music, and music for the rest of the evening! Now let me just say that our dance floor was LIT from beginning to end, and he threw in a couple songs that I hadn't even thought about that everyone loved! He was great at announcing things and he did it all so naturally ... clearly not his first rodeo. Throughout the planning process he was responsive, flexible, and easy to work with! My first dance song was a bit long and he noticed that and offered to edit and shorten it by taking out some choruses, and it ended up being perfect. I sent my music requests through a mixture of Spotify, Excel, and I sent a few .mp3 files over email (I had created my own song for the father daughter dance!) All in all, he took care of everything and exceeded my expectations! read more

Hiring Peter Papadopoulos with Vive Entertainment to be the DJ and MC for our daughter's wedding was the BEST DECISION we ever made. Here is why: My husband and I were very picky (we interviewed many companies) in choosing the right DJ/MC, because we believe the DJ/MC has an important role in the success of the reception. During the first meeting with Peter, he knew exactly what we wanted. His professionalism, patience, and extensive music repertoire was very impressive. Our daughter raved about how easy it was to communicate with him on playlist adjustments and music edits, despite the fact that she lives in a different state. So not only he became our DJ and MC, he also handled the uplighting of the very large reception room at our venue. As a DJ, he played the right music at the right time. The dance floor was always full. Everyone loved his music and we received many compliments. As a MC, he was spot on with his announcements, and never was too wordy. As far as uplighting is concerned, everything was done beautifully, and he was very patient adjusting the lights as we desired. In summary, he helped to make our daughter's wedding the most magical ever. read more

Peter is the DJ for my company's Family Picnic, and he is awesome to work with! He is so helpful, and really gets the crowd going by showing off his Emcee Talent along with his expert selection of family-friendly music. He even works with our HR team to get games going, and helps with getting all the kids playing Freeze Dance etc! We use Peter every year, and we believe our Picnic wouldn't be the same without him! Thank you, Peter. read more

Peter is nothing short of the consummate professional. Prior to the wedding, Peter met and conferred with us to better understand our preferences for our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. Peter was able to mix songs, including lengthening or shortening songs (i.e. for the processional or our first dance), so as to accommodate our needs and desires. Peter offered a packet of music recommendations which also guided our decisions and lessened the burden of surfing the web for popular songs to play. Peter also adeptly used the music to set the tone of the event; he elevated moments by using high energy music and as well as masterfully used the music to lull the audience to appropriate silence preceding speeches (notably we had a guest count of 275). For the open dance floor segment (end of the evening fun), Peter played a perfect variety of high-energy dance tracks for the young crowd, and also peppered in slow songs that compelled the older generations to join the group on the dance floor. Peter played the type of music we wanted, and respectfully avoided songs that we expressed we did not want played. Peter also made for an incredible MC, and provided spectacular introductions for the collective bridal party, not only for the grand entrances, but also for their respective speeches. Lastly Peter has a wonderful disposition; he was easy to get along with, was accommodating, reliable, and returned messages (email or phone) promptly (which is important amidst wedding craze); he assisted with last minute changes, and was an integral member of our wedding crew, and most certainly elevated our wedding experience! Ultimately, we are extremely happy that we hired Peter. Our wedding was better because Peter was our DJ. We highly recommend him for your wedding and/or any event you may have. read more

We were referred to Peter by Jeannie Savage of Details Details. Anyone recommended by Jeannie is the best of the best. Peter was professional, kind, beyond knowledgable, and all around enjoyable to work with for our wedding. We had several wedding guests say Peter was the best DJ they had ever heard at a wedding. He set the ambiance for the evening and made seamless transitions from the ceremony, to cocktail hour, to the reception. Peter was able to find every song we wanted played during our wedding ceremony, as well. We enjoyed every minute of working with Peter. He made our wedding day so memorable and fun! We highly recommend hiring Peter for your wedding or event. read more

Months before our wedding day, my wife and I knew we struck gold when we hired Peter to be our MC/DJ for our wedding. Finding the right people to make your imagination a reality is very stressful but Peter put us at ease from the beginning. It became clear from our first phone call that he's very knowledgeable, which is clearly a product of many years of experience. Furthermore, it became clear to us during that first phone call that he's a kind, good person who genuinely wants to help create the wedding you're dreaming of. Throughout the process, he was a great communicator and very easy and enjoyable to talk to. I asked him to mix a wide range of music that included EDM, rap, old R&B and Arabic music and he found a way to mix it all seamlessly. My wife and I also love mashups and we asked him to play very specific tracks that I found from complex mixes. He was able to make it all work perfectly to our liking. Not only did he help us with music, but he also helped us with lighting in creating the rave kind of feel my wife was going for. Peter was also a phenomenal MC. Everything was smooth start to finish and I received numerous compliments from my guests about how great he was as both a DJ and MC. I was so nervous picking a DJ because music is very important to me but Peter exceeded every single one of my expectations. Out of all the decisions that went into making our wedding a success, my wife and I both agree that hiring him was the best decision we made. read more

Peter went above and beyond for our wedding! We could not have asked for a better personality, mix of music and all around DJ/MC. He helped make every moment of our wedding planning and wedding day perfect. He offered to a meeting before we even hired him, showing us exactly what we could expect with him as our DJ. We knew right away he was a perfect fit. He put together edits of first dance song, entrance song, father-daughter, mother-son dances to make them perfect for us and our timing needs. He even went above and beyond and helped my sisters put together an edit of songs for their MOH speech. He showed up hours early to make sure he was set up for the ceremony, then moved over to cocktail hour to make sure speakers and mics were set up for an impromptu speech. He was the perfect MC, able to get the crowd going, and settle down when someone needed the floor. The whole party was on the dance floor all night long, and that was all thanks to Peter!! I would recommend him again and again for any wedding (or any other occations) because he was really THAT good! Thanks Peter for everything you did to make our day special from beginning to end, we so appreciate it! read more
