Absolute Celebrations

told our DJ moved and we weren't presented with another option which was frustrating. We almost cancelled our wedding due to COVID and they weren't willing to offer a refund and the credit they were offering had stipulations. Before you book, ask all the hard questions, read the fine print, and potentially ask about insurance. We used them for our DJ, MC, and photobooth. The photobooth attendant was a young kid who sat on his phone the whole time. He barely helped anyone while at the photobooth. When we arrived we said we wanted to take a bridal party picture and one with myself and my wife. The flash wasn't turned on so the pictures were dark and we had to say something to him to turn the flash on. The WORST part was he spelled my name wrong on the print outs. I wouldn't recommend this service from them at all. The most positive experience we had from this company was Colin. He is both a DJ and MC and he was a DOLL! He facetimed us during the pandemic a few times to go over every little detail. We wanted someone bilingual because half of my wifes family is Hispanic and he didn't disappoint when it came to that too. He made sure everyone was up and dancing, the music went between spanish and english seamlessly (Thanks Greg our DJ for that), and he had the party going all night. I highly recommend Colin to make your party/wedding amazing!

and kept the party going the entire night. Angel was our MC. His personality shined throughout the entire night. My husband and I, as well as our guests, danced the night away! Thank you Absolute Celebrations! -Sarah and Robert

take a photo and made me ( the bride) late getting ready. I still have not gotten my photos yet 10 weeks later.

with a lot of energy. When we went for our finals meeting, he didn't seem very interested in helping us pick the remaining songs or help us identify a timeline for the day. The couple sitting in the other room with another staff member were going through everything together and seemed to be getting all of their questions answered. We were a little disappointed because the appointment was only 20 minutes long and we had driven almost 1 hour to get there, however, we trusted them and figured they knew what they were doing. Angel did not show as our MC on our wedding day, which was initially disappointing because we didn't have any heads up, but we had DJ Fredo and MC Rafael who did an amazing job. The photobooth arrived almost an hour late but the attendant was helpful and everyone enjoyed it. The videographer Romelo was so patient and helpful, and David, the photographer, had a lot of experience, although was a little pushy at times. Overall we had an awesome experience with Absolute, but my rating went down from a 5 to a 4 just because of the few things mentioned above.

is company. STAY AWAY! Your wedding is supposed to be a memorable happy day and you should hire vendors who will make your day easier and better. My husband and I had so many expectations when we booked with Absolute, they were the first vendor we booked because we were so sure they would do a great job! At first, they were great on getting back to promptly over emails. My disappointment with this company is beyond but I will try to summarize how unprofessional and unkind they are and I hope couples read this review and DO NOT HIRE THEM!. SONGS- They asked me to make a list of song I wanted and I wasted my time doing so, which was fine. What wasn't fine, was the fact that they did not play what I asked. During the party I asked the DJ to play a particular song that was on the "Must play list" and he rudely said "let me do my job bride". I mean, who in their right mind would say that to a bride? Luckily, I kept calm and did not say anything back. Not only that but the MC did an awful job entertaining my guests and that is all I asked, I wanted everyone on the dance floor having fun, unfortunately the DJ and MC were ABSOLUTELY AWFUL. All he did was to introduce my husband and I, that's it! Honestly, anyone with no experience could have done a better job, there was no need to hire "professionals". PHOTOBOOTH- Well, let me just say the photo booth attendant did not know what the heck she was doing. I had the mirror photobooth which was nice but the attendant did not set it up properly, most of the pictures you could see the rod from the background curtain. Worst of all, I gave them a book that guests could glue a copy of their picture, somehow Absolute did not have my book or save me a single picture. I contacted the office, they apologized for the DJ and MC's horrible job and said they would send me the pictures but never did. I contacted them multiple times through emails, phone call and social media . I was told through a DM that photobooth does not include picture which is an absurd, it is on my contract, all my guests received their printed picture (by the way, guests who opted to have their picture emailed to them, only received the picture 10 days later), so clearly they had no idea what they were saying or doing. I asked for the manager to contact me but no one ever called me back. There is not enough words to express how much I regret choosing this company for my wedding day. I wish I could look back on my reception and have great memories but this company ruined completely. They are unprofessional and rude. Absolute is absolutely horrible! Please Do not waste your time and money with them.

the time came to hire our reception DJ (a year later), they had made such an impression during their presentation, that they were the first company that came to mind, but I couldn’t for the life of me remember the company name or anything, so we began a never ending search for a DJ and found no winners, until finally one day, while cleaning, I found their flyer and screamed of excitement! We immediately contacted them, made an appointment, and hired them. Frank (the salesperson we met with) was great, answered all our questions and made us the best package. Until we couldn’t reach him, to save our lives two weeks before the wedding when trying to confirm who was our point person. A month before the wedding we met with who we had been told was going to be our MC (Angel), and went over all the details and explained how we wanted it to be all about the party and he seemed super on board. Unfortunately, to our disappointment, the MC that showed up for the day of the wedding was not the same person, and we were never communicated of the changes. He was obviously not prepared or knew about what we had asked (to make sure it was all about the party) we had to constantly go up to them and tell them to change the music and get the party going, thankfully my family and friends are just that awesome that we can make a party no matter what, so we had an amazing time... but they also wrote my name wrong on the photo booth, which unfortunately no one noticed till the very end, and forgot about doing the “hora loca” until one of my bridesmaids mentioned it to them when she realized it was almost 30 minutes till the night ended and they had not mentioned anything, so they decided to do it 15 minutes before the party ended. We were EXTREMELY disappointed with the service provided by @aceleb. And we would bot recommended to any other couples.

rs, and they of course didn’t disappoint. Together with the percussionist, they had everyone on the dance floor and were able to mix in music that represent my husband and I - Cuban salsa, country music, classic rock and jersey house. Definitely not an easy feat and they did it seamlessly so that everyone was dancing, all night. Amazing crew. Amazing night. Couldn’t be more grateful!!

ve cancelled last minute. This was a little ironic – as my husband and I not only met the MC when we signed our contract but we saw him (Chris Atwood) at a wedding event a few months prior (working with another company). Regardless, he remembered exactly who we were and assured us he was working for both companies and would see us on our wedding day. However, when we got a phone call at 5PM the day before our wedding we were in for a rude awakening. Apparently Chris could no longer do our wedding. No bride and groom wants to get a call the night before their wedding that their MC all of a sudden can’t make it. We are pretty sure that Chris was just too busy with his other commitments and dropped our wedding – since he seemed super busy when we saw him last. Regardless, Absolute Celebrations came in and made sure we weren’t stranded. The owner, Angel was the MC and did a great job. I would definitely recommend using Absolute Celebrations because although there was an issue, they made sure to fix it and still do a great job. The only thing I would say is that Absolute should improve on their client communications. I tried to confirm everything the week before our wedding a few times and I had to constantly call with no one calling back. Not sure if it was because they were trying to figure out if Chris was working the wedding or what but it did make the week before the wedding pretty stressful for us.

ely kind, charismatic, and down to earth. It’s impossible not to be drawn to him immediately. Everyone at Absolute Celebrations was extremely professional and communication (especially with Kelsey) was easy and quick. I got married at Bridgewater Manor on April 6, 2019 and it was PERFECT. Angel (MC) and Chris B (DJ) had the dance floor packed from the minute the reception started to the point where we had to drag people off the dance floor at the end of the night because nobody wanted to leave. Angel and Chris worked with the crowd so well and made the night so much fun that people were asking me for their contact information for their upcoming weddings and sweet 16 parties. Overall, it was such a wonderful experience and I can honestly say that Absolute Celebrations is the reason my wedding day was such a success!! I wish I could rate you 10 stars because 5 stars simply doesn’t do it justice. Thank you guys so much for being a part of my special day!! -Kristy & Michael

an traditions, and Latin, pop, and classic songs from various decades! We wanted everyone to party and have fun. Aside from being very professional, the group excelled at knowing when to play and transition songs to maximize the dance floor. We had so much fun, which was attributable in part to the Absolute team’s keen awareness of how to cater to the crowd!

to a lot of weddings with Absolute Celebrations as the entertainment and the dance floor was always packed. From the moment we walked into the office we were treated like friends and not like customers. We knew from past experiences and their commitment we wouldn't be disappointed. Angel, was very welcoming and charismatic we felt confident that he would be a great MC at our wedding. Chris was our DJ for the night and he kept us and our guest dancing the entire night. We also decided to go with the Electric Violinist and Percussionist which definitely amp the party. My most memorable part of the night besides dancing on a cloud during our first dance was watching our SDE video. It was amazing! JayR and Ramon did such a fantastic job with our video, we couldn't be happier. Our photographer David Q & Arnie captured all of our memories and were excellent throughout the night. The Hora Loca was also a highlight of the night (my grandmothers favorite). It was also fun to look at all the photo booth pictures from the night. I highly recommend Absolute Celebrations to be a part of your wedding or any special event. Our wedding guest is still raving about how amazing our wedding was and we owe this in part to Absolute.

ting to all our needs. He spent the time coordinating with our photographers and videographer to make sure everyone was at the right place at the right time and made sure the reception went off without any issues. Alfredo was also flexible when we had specific requests or any last minute changes. His suggestion of "walking on clouds" for our first dance was excellent, the pictures and video of that special moment came out amazing. Alfredo (DJ) and Nick (MC) kept the pace of the night going smoothly, building momentum at all the right times. Our percussionist put on an impressive performance and added extra life to the music. We received so many compliments from our guests on how amazing the music was and how much they enjoyed the night. I will be recommending DJ Alfredo and Absolute Celebrations to all my friends and family! They made our wedding truly an unforgettable day!

stopped 3 times during the intro and then was followed up by the MC saying we are having technical difficulties. I mean really.... What a way to get the party started. I had been day dreaming about singing that song to my husband and they completely messed it up. :-( The MC came to apologize but it didn't change the fact that my first dance, that I won't ever get again, was messed up. He also suggested to try to fit in another try later during the reception but I declined as that would mess up the flow of the reception. I was also annoyed that when my new husband and I are about to get in our car at the end of the reception he chased us down to ask where his tip was. Like really? How tacky. I pointed him in the direction of my mom who had already been instructed to hand out the tips at the end of the party. I just feel like after messing up my first dance you are pretty bold to be chasing me for a tip after the fact. Lastly, I asked for the mirror photo booth that I saw at the show. Which was a hollywood red carpet theme mirror. I got the same technology but it was a heart shaped mirror with all this heart backdrop and decor. It made it look like a valentines day corner which wasn't the look. I also inquired several times to make sure my hashtag would be on my custom print outs which they assured me would happen and it did not. It just had our names on it. Just overall I was annoyed. I also heard that my cousins bribed the DJ $25 to change the music which just got on my nerves again. People danced and had fun. I mean its a party with free liquor after all but, overall I wouldn't use them again.

l definitely recommend and pick them again.

ideo, lighting, and photography. They did an amazing job. Our DJ and MC (Mario) were amazing. People are still telling us how much of a good time they had dancing all night. Also the photos came out wonderful. There are so many to choose from I'm still having a hard time choosing my favorite. The up lighting we had in the venue really gave it the pop I wanted and I can not wait to get our video back because I know that will be incredible too. Also Absolute Celebrations has excellent customer service. Anytime I would call there would always be an answer or if I emailed they would get back to me right away. Wonderful company and would highly recommend them. Cant thank them enough!

happened. All of our wedding photos are of a packed dance floor and people singing along to the amazing music. Anything we had asked to hear was played and mixed in to the party effortlessly. My father in law lost his voice from singing along, it was amazing. Not only is Alfredo an amazing DJ, but he walked us through everything before the wedding to make sure we were on the same page. On the day of the wedding, as the bride, I was so crazy and all over the place. He and our MC (equally amazing) set up, lined us up, and introduced us. Everything was seamless and exactly as we had discussed. The talent and professionalism is unmatched!

owhere to be found so Thank you so much we will definitely book you guys again...

n our budget, they had a huge amount to offer brides and grooms and they made you feel at ease and not pushed into anything. Elyse was so sweet and a joy to work with and made the process easy from start to finish. I CANNOT say enough about how freaking awesome Chris Atwood our DJ and MC Joe were during our entire wedding. Chris was a perfect balance between funny, relaxed and pump up and he made the night a blast! He was even able to get some of our most stoic relatives up and out on the dance floor which made the night even more special for everyone. My husband and I would happily recommend Absolute Celebrations to anyone getting married and would ESPECIALLY recommend snagging Chris if you can because he is just the best!

ect. IT WAS AMAZING!! Ray was the voice that lead us through and also sang to us. Alfredo crushed it.... Thank you so much for everything.

r wedding -- we were not disappointed! We had people on the dance floor ALL night, even in between courses at dinner! They were great with our special request to play some Irish music as well, and totally accommodating and professional from start to finish. We highly recommend our DJ Chris B., and our MC Frank G. They made our reception into a great party, and we had guests of all ages! Thank you Absolute Celebrations!

love you !!!!

ayed all the way through. I could not recommend Chris Atwood more highly!

jay r the videographer brought my vision to Life! It was truly a perfect day I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. They were all so much fun to work with and accommodated our every need ! Great customer service and always respond immediately with any questions we had.

owcases. They had everyone up and dancing nonstop at our wedding. The staff at absolute was great and took the time to sit with my husband and I to hash out every detail to make our wedding day a dream come true.

ll out made it so organized as well. Now day of the wedding, we used them for ceremony music, cocktail hour, and reception, as well as uplighting and photobooth. Let's just say the lighting made the room perfect, beautiful and everything I dreamed up. Now our MC Mario was amazing, got everyone dancing (pretty sure we needed a bigger dance floor with everyone up and moving), fun and I had nothing to worry about. He not only interacted with my husband and I, but with all the guests! Let's also not forget DJ Presz- absolutely great music choices, getting the guests pumped, singing along, having fun. I absolutely recommend them for anyone's events and would love to see them in action again. Great night, great people. Thank you again for everything!

rom the west coast, and Elyse was a doll through the whole process. We got married on January 20th. Besides the exceptional customer service from start to finish, DJ Fredo and Angel kept the crowd on their feet the whole time. I had lots of people come up to me after telling me how much fun the reception was. They were cognizant of the flow of the event, to the mood, to the right type of music at the right time. I also ordered a Photobooth through them and that was a blast too! They were sweet to give me a book of all the photobooth pictures taken that night so we can keep it for our memories. All those little touches is what made this experience so wonderful. I would 10000% recommend Absolute Celebrations to everyone!

ideographer, photographer, DJ and MC. The DC and MC make such a big difference for your wedding. they make the party!

r office we met with someone different. We never even met with the MC we had selected to contract with. Which leads me to my next point... 2. On the day of our wedding, our MC was different from the person we had selected. My mom had seen him at our tasting and wasn't a fan which is why we purposely didn't select him. Even with that aside, they should have at least given us a heads up on the change. 3. The MC announced the anniversary of two guests without asking us (and it was never included in our portal). I was livid when I heard this because no one knew who they were and my parents anniversary wasn't announced! They really should have consulted me, the groom, or the wedding planner before doing this.

ne had a lot of fun in it. Besides the fun of having a photo booth and receiving a wonderful book at the end of the night with the pictures that everyone took, the attendant mostly just sat there during the night and the props that were given looked kind of old and used and some of my guests did not even want to put the hats on their head. If you decide to go with them for your photo booth needs be sure that they have purchased new props.

e would pick Absolute Celebrations again. The dance floor was full ALL night, they also had the entire crowd pumped. We will refer them to everyone we know. Dancing on clouds really created an intimate moment for my wife and I. Thank you Angel and everyone at Absolute Celebrations for making our night UNFORGETTABLE.

nection with him upon our first meeting and just love his upbeat and charismatic personality! Chris had our guests on the dance floor the entire night and we received multiple compliments from people who attended our wedding. He followed my husband's instructions to a "T" as we had many different performances and events throughout the night. Our only criticism is that not all of our "must plays" were played.... but he certainly played toward the crowd and everyone had a wonderful time! I 100% recommend using Chris and the Absolute Celebrations team for your wedding!

oing all night! To be honest, my husband and I gave them very little direction on what to play and when. All we said was that we wanted our wedding to be a non-stop party and that was exactly what we were provided. There was rarely a moment that there weren’t people on the dance floor showing off their best moves to their favorite music! Prior to our wedding we had met with Fredo multiple times to go over and finalize the package details. He is responsive, professional, and makes you feel really confident that you’ve picked the best DJ possible. I cannot begin to tell you how many compliments we received on the music and overall experience that DJ Fredo and MC Ralph provided. When you think about what makes a good wedding, food and music always come to mind. With Absolute Celebrations, DJ Fredo, and MC Ralph, you can be sure that your wedding music will be amazing! These guys are a highly recommend!

ute Celebrations made it easy for us with their planning form, and they were very accessible through email. From the beginning of the reception to the end, all of our guests said that was the best DJ they ever had at a wedding!! We enjoyed every second with them. It is very evident that Angel, Chris B, and the crew work very hard to make it a special day for the couple and all of their guests. With their knowledge of music and experience they can make any event an amazing one. Also, we added their Intel Lights, which made the hall looking amazing and enhanced the experience. Not hiring Absolute Celebrations for your wedding or event would be a huge mistake.

th the MC he makes sure to stress that he would appreciate you rating them online, so here goes... The ceremony went fine, but then again only 45 seconds of 3 songs needed to be played. When it came to the cocktail hour we requested softer music to be played and even gave them examples such as Buena Vista Social Club or some jazz...Well my husband and I could hear some type of fist pumping club music from upstairs. Which was exactly what I had written on the do not play list. This tells me the DJ either didn't read or wasn't informed of the website full of instructions we were requested to fill out. (Here I will say that my husband and I never met with our DJ or percussionist. We only ever met with the MC) Next came the reception... Although I had asked for the DJ not to take requests from guests for music, that is exactly what was done. We had guests requesting songs and dedicating them to other guests. Again I am wondering why they have you fill out their questionnaire online if nothing is going to be done with it. I even went as far as to request a final song of the night....that was also not followed. Instead someone took it upon themselves (whether DJ or MC I wouldn't be able to tell you) that our final song would now be "New York, New York" by Frank Sinatra... Sure its a great song for a Yankee game but how it reflected or pertained to my husband and I, I'm not quite sure. As for the MC he was ok... and I literally mean just ok. He did his minimal talking that I feel is done at any wedding of introducing the wedding party and the important parts of the wedding such as cake cutting and first dances, but other than that there wasn't much to be done. Oh and if you didn't already know, he will tell you, that he is only there from the beginning of the reception to an hour before your reception ends. I believe the percussionist played well but it didn't add much to the wedding and in the end I believe we could have done without it and still had the same outcome.

I do not recommend using them. Supposedly the videographer ended up at another church that day and missed the most important part of my wedding which was my entrance, my husband's reaction, and the bridal party march. Absolute Celebraions gave me a wedding proof of my video starting in the middle of the ceremony with my cousin doing a bible reading. Basically trying to play it off like it was ok. After I questioned what was going on, took them 9 months after my wedding to give me an explanation. You're better off going somewhere else for video. I know 2 people who got married in May and have their videos ready.

2017; we followed with them in the beginning of May since we didn't hear anything from them and our wedding was on the 21th of May. All I got was an email stated that there's no need to pick background on the mirror both because it's newest one and it's open both. the email re-enforced that there's no need to worry everything will be taken care of . About 5 days before the wedding , they called me and told me there's balance due and since it's too close to the event date I'll have to drive (1.5h one way ) down to make the payment in cash. I was very upset and refused to take at least 3 hr out of my day just to make this payment. the supervisor Jessica took over the conversation and agreed to take credit card payment over the phone with penalty. The story didn't stop the, @ the date of wedding, they showed up with cheapest photo machine with absolutely zero background on the strip (it looks like 3 pics on a white strip). I approached the photo both attendant, all he said was " oh ! the guy couldn't come because he has to have foot surgery , and my boss called me last night /last minute to come today). just when I thought it can't go any worse, the dance on the could totally topped it !!!! the dry ice lest about 3 second!! It was disappeared before half of dance.

ale. DJ Chris Atwood was my MC. He was so professional and kept the crowd hype all night. DJ Ran kept my guest on their feet all night. It was the epitome of urban excellence. My video and phot crew were top notch. My Same Day Edit is still being reposted on social media sites by people I don't know. Please, call Absolute today and make your appointment. You will thank me later.

s our Emcee and our DJ was Nick. They were AMAZING. They did a great job of keeping our guests entertained and on the floor dancing throughout the reception. They listened to our guest requests and played well towards the crowd. My husband's family primarily speaks Spanish and they had a bunch of songs prepared for us that his family loved. Alfredo communicated really well with us regarding our requests and expectations before the wedding so on the day of everything ran smoothly and we were able to just enjoy the celebration.

nd was reasonably priced. We just wish there was better communication between us and the photobooth attendant. The whole process dealing with Absolute celebrations, from start to finish was a breeze. We got everything we wanted.

Emcee, DJ, photo booth, photography, and cinematography. Everyone at Absolute is just awesome. Their energy is amazing, they are extremely helpful, and might I add super funny. I was referred to them by a friend who utilized their services for her wedding, and I also went to see them at a bridal show before I booked with them. From the very beginning, they have been extremely diligent and lived up to their word. Our wedding day was beyond A M A Z I N G!!! Fernando was our Emcee and Alfredo was our DJ. They had everyone on the dance floor and made sure everyone was having a great time. Every single detail was executed perfectly. Every one still talks about how much fun our wedding was and how awesome our entertainment was. My husband and I are extremely thankful for the beautiful memories captured by Arnie and Ricardo. Our same day edit was PERFECT. Our photos are GORGEOUS. Still waiting on our final video, but, I have already seen the proof and just “WOW”! I recommend them to all future brides and grooms for their special day! ALL IN ALL, THEY ARE TRULY THE BEST! WE ARE THANKFUL TO HAVE CHOSEN THEM FOR OUR BIG DAY!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOOOOOUUUUU FERNANDO, ANGEL, MICHELLE, DJ FREDO, ARNIE, RICARDO, AND EVERYONE AT ABSOLUTE CELBS FOR BEING EXCEPTIONALLY AMAZING!! Joselyn & Javier

about it and make SURE you have your final meeting in person with your actual DJ/MC. I was very detailed and it still did not work out. As a company that works with brides/grooms constantly, it is disappointing that they did not guide us along better. When we scheduled our final meeting with our MC; we got to the office to find out he could not make the meeting and we met with the owner. Instead of calling us to reschedule; it felt like they only wanted the meeting to get our final payment. This should have been the meeting where we went over every detail of the day and actually played the versions of the songs we want. They have you fill out a very detailed form for the music selections and then they did not even play all of my "must plays". I even set up a phone call with my DJ 3 days before the wedding and he still did not play the correct versions of our music. Absolute "outsourced" our photo booth through another company, unbeknownst to us. It was a complete disaster. We ordered photo booth picture frames as favors for our guests. I confirmed with two separate people from Absolute that the booth printed 2x6 photos-both said yes. The day of the wedding they were printing out 4x6 photos...my favors were completely ruined. The photo booth itself was not a normal "booth"; it was a TV touch screen with a camera on top of it and you could see the entire reception room in the background of every picture. Our 'guest book' was also a disaster; the attendant was extremely unhelpful to our guests and ran out of pages for my guests to sign. It was horrendous and a keepsake I will never get to have from the wedding day. If they actually discussed the type of booth with me prior to the wedding day, this could have been avoided. Absolute apologized and offered to reimburse me for the frames in exchange to keep the frames-which defeats the purpose of the reimbursement. In my opinion; unprofessional. Again take a look at my suggestions at the top if you choose to work with them.

ancing on the clouds" was amazing! And the CO2 blast was great! It cools down the dance floor when it started to heat up! And the black light show!!! If u book with them u need the black light show! Our MC Fernando was amazing interactive, dancing with my guest! Thank you soo much for keeping the party going all night long! If ur reading this, u don't need to go anywhere else! Book with absolute celebration you will not be disappointed!

your DJ at our special event!

it came to making sure we were comfortable leading up to the big day. He was such a great emcee. We also had David (Poppi) as our photographer. We felt relaxed and really enjoyed all of our photos (all 1400 of them!) and we received them within 4 weeks. Overall, Absolute was extremely professional and we would definitely recommend them for anyone looking for a great DJ and/or Photographer!
