We had to the opportunity to work with Matt from ACA and ended up booking Livin' The Dream and let me tell you it was the best decision to go with a live band! All we can say was H...
OLY SH*T, they were incredible and even better live compared to their demo online! They kept the excitement and energy level going and the dance floor was always packed!
Thank you to everyone who was a part of Livin' The Dream for making our wedding night a night to remember!
To those who are looking for a band, definitely give Livin' The Dream an opportunity! Although they're not well known like some others thats been around for a while, they sure know how to knock it out of the park!
Thank you once again, hope you all had fun as much as we did!
It’s impossible for us to emphasize how much North Coast Orchestra’s performance meant to my wife and I. EVERY single person we have talked to about our wedding mentions how great ...
they were. Music is very important to us and their performance was absolutely amazing. You will not regret booking this band, but be careful - they might steal the show
We had Livin the Dream for our wedding and the rocked! We loved working with Matt from ACA. He was easy to work with and made communication easy. Highly recommend working with them...
and their rocking band!
ACA was so wonderful to work with!! From the early communication to day-of set up, these folks were so professional and kind! They had so many communication steps in place to make ...
sure we received what we wanted on our wedding day and all of it was easy to follow! We hired Livin the Dream and WOW were they incredible!! The dance floor was PACKED the entire night and so many people said it was the best band they had ever heard at a wedding!!! They followed our song requests, engaged with our guests during the performance, and were so kind and accommodating! Even with rain on our wedding day, they made it all happen with ease. They absolutely were the right vendor for the day!!!
We hired ACA and their Skyline band for our wedding. They were incredible, a huge repertoire of music that was just perfect for our vibe. We had them for cocktail hour dinner and f...
or our reception, and I would book them all over again in a heartbeat. They really kept the night moving and exciting!

in the Dream provided music throughout the evening from the cocktail hour, through dinner and into the night. We highly recommend.

Downtown Harrison did an amazing job at our wedding reception. He brings a level of energy that gets everyone so excited to be on the dance floor. And if there seems to be a lull, ...
he will perform one of his songs/dances which are always an absolute hit!
Luis from ACA was easy to communicate with throughout the process. We overall had a great experience using this vendor as our wedding DJ.
We absolutely loved having Paul as our DJ & he did an amazing job! We were a bit apprehensive when it came to our music as we have a wide range of music tastes & wanted a certain v...
ibe for our wedding. Luis at ACA Entertainment responded promptly to my multiple emails answering my questions & was able to get me in touch with Paul prior to our wedding day so that I could speak with him to touch base regarding our ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, & dance. Talking with Paul really helped to reassure me regarding our music. When it came time for our wedding day – Paul absolutely killed it – he nailed our vibe during each of the different parts throughout the day. Our guests repeatedly told us that the music selection was amazing & that Paul’s transitions between the songs were seamless, helping to continue that vibe. Everyone had a great time & we only wish the night could have gone on longer! We would highly recommend Paul & ACA Entertainment to anyone looking to book a DJ.
easy to work with. provided a dj and magician for our reception. magician also did balloon animals for the kids. DJ fulfilled all of our song requests and made sure he had things r...
ight with us before the event.
We hired Platinum for our wedding and they were awesome! My husband and I always wanted to dance to live music for our first dance and Platinum brought that dream to life, and perf...
ormed our first dance songs perfectly. My guests raved about how awesome the band was and they brought everyone out on the dance floor with the wide selection of music they played. They even played an encore as the venue was shutting down. We also payed for the entertainment bundle upgrade which was worth every penny (emcee services, DJ during set breaks, jazz trio during dinner). The band's management, Matt and Luis were very accommodating throughout the wedding planning and postponement process, responsive to my endless emails and phone calls and eased all of my concerns in lieu of the ongoing pandemic. If you're looking for a wedding band, we would highly recommend Platinum! Thank you for helping make our wedding day so special!
We hired the band Platinum for our wedding. They were so much fun and the dance floor was packed all night! They met with my venue to make sure the set up would work for them and t...
hey also provided us with a whole sheet to work out the logistics for the reception . A week before the wedding we had a call with Matt who was very professional and helped us with any questions we had. The band was so amazing! They play all different genres and they sounded so real to the song they played. I keep getting compliments to this day about the band! Definitely check out Platinum! Worth every penny!!
We worked with one of the band/DJ combos from ACA music as they were recommended by our wedding planner. Our communication with the manager prior to our wedding was not very profes...
sional, who seemed annoyed with our questions and desire to come up with a detailed timeline. Our requests to have certain songs played were also met with a lot of resistance and they said the band could not learn any of the songs we requested for our first dance, parent/child dances, etc. The band and DJ also took an extended break during our reception after we asked them to play one specific song from someone else's playlist since the DJ did not have it. We were also disappointed that they ended the night with a different song than we asked for, even though it was a popular song. I guess our expectations were a bit too high, or maybe we should have invested a lot more money in a better band/DJ. Either way, the interactions were not optimal.
I really liked DJ Tim Synold from ACA! We wanted to have mainly 90's, early 2000's, and guest requested music played at our wedding and he did just that! He was very friendly and p...
unctual.
We went with ACA Entertainment for a DJ for our wedding. We had DJ Tim, and he was awesome! He went above and beyond to meet with us before our wedding to discuss details and plan ...
out our wedding night. We were very pleased with Tim's work, and he kept the fun going all night long. We received many compliments at how "awesome" our DJ was and how our guests "have never seen that many people out on the dance floor all night!" We would highly recommend DJ Tim and ACA Entertainment!
We had Tim and he was fabulous! Great personality and very invested in your event.
We had Dann as our DJ for our wedding on December 30th. I met him at a bridal show and really liked his sense of humor, but also appreciated how much he put me at ease. He really m...
ade me feel like his sole purpose the day of the wedding was taking care of things for us and making sure we were relaxed. It was the same way the day of our wedding. He called me a few days before to run through all of the information that we gave him and confirm any final questions (and relax me a bit!), and then he checked in with us before the reception as well to put our minds at ease and let us know how the night would go. He was so helpful, kind, and professional throughout our whole wedding. I trusted him completely to do his job and he made sure not only that we were happy, but that all of our guests had a great time. I would HIGHLY recommend him! We also booked our photo booth through ACA, and our guests had a great time with that as well. There was a green screen backdrop and tons of props, and now we have a photo book of memories from the best night of our lives. Thank you Al, Dann, and everyone else at ACA!
Dj Paul was amazing! Everyone commented on how great he was!
We had the North Coast Orchestra for our wedding reception in Milwaukee, and they were truly AMAZING. We were blown away by their professionalism, organization, and of course their...
musical talent. They learned our first dance song and played it to perfection! We received compliments all night long on the band. We did not have to worry about a thing. They provided a complete setup in a tricky space-the Milwaukee Public Museum- and they worked to make sure that our reception entertainment went smoothly. And it did. We are truly grateful for the musicians, singers, our MC Matt, and Nancy, who recommended the North Coast Orchestra to us. They were perfect for our reception, our musical tastes, and our style.
I met DJ Tim at ACA's booth at the Wonderful World of Weddings show at State Fair Park and he and I just clicked. I was anticipating choosing a DJ and picking music to be an arduou...
s task that might make me go crazy, but they send you a survey and it allows them to learn a bit about the reception and you can tell them what special dances you would like and exactly how you want things to go. It was so much easier for me to put together a "Do Not Play" list than a complete list of all of the songs I wanted. They offer you a place to tell them the first dance, father-daughter dance, and mother-son dance. Then a week or two before the big day, your DJ calls you to go over some last minute details such as uplighting for the head table and if you have any last requests of them. The day of the wedding everything ran super smoothly. I was worried about them disrupting things because my ceremony and reception were in the same place, but I didn't even notice them setting up. Tim is wonderful, and does an excellent job at reading the crowd and changing things up to keep the dance floor full! I had a great time and my guests did too! If you go with ACA Music and Entertainment, I would highly recommend DJ Tim!! He's the best!!
We received many compliments on our DJ during and after our wedding reception. Tim knew exactly what to play to keep everyone on the dance floor the entire night. I did not even pr...
ovide a list of "must play" and "do not play"... I just let him run with it and the night was absolutely perfect.
Preparing for the reception was stress free- I just filled out a questionnaire and talked to Tim on the phone the week before the wedding, and everything went perfect. I would HIGHLY recommend.
Matt and the Platinum Band were absolutely FANTASTIC! We received SO many compliments from our guests and their music was some of the best I've ever heard. They played a nice mix o...
f music (at our request) and really adjusted to what the audience was in the mood for. They were able to adjust the timing of our first dance based on choreography and were flexible when we asked them to be. The jazz that they played during dinner was beautiful. All in all, I'd recommend them to everyone!
We hired the North Coast Orchestra through ACA Entertainment and we were not disappointed! They were fabulous and accommodated all our requests for special songs (including one th...
at wasn't in their rep list)! As we are both classical musicians, we made sure they know how important the music was to us, and they were absolutely fantastic. They played all the right songs at all the right times and kept the dance floor filled with people. They are hard to book because their schedule fills up quickly, so get them while you can!
I liked that I got to pick my DJ by name so I knew who to expect on the wedding day. Also I had a phone call with my DJ to go over the details of the wedding, like what we wanted f...
or all the special dances. The DJ checked in throughout the night to make sure we liked the music. We did up-lighting with our music package and it looked wonderful!
Excellent service and very personable and patient. Dj Felix
ACA gave us a great deal on two amazing artist. Thank you again for making this day special!

We had a great DJ and ACA take their time to get to know you before the wedding and what music you want to have at your wedding. We were very pleased with ACA!

Thank you Tim! You did a great job at my wedding and were so easy to work with! I would definitely recommend Tim for any wedding or special occasion! Awesome Job!!
We used the band Ain't Misbehavin' for our cocktail hour and our dinner hour, then we had a DJ. This band did an amazing job and they played a great set. Since we did not see the...
m ever play or hear many examples from them, we were very worried how it would end up, but they pulled through and did great! They worked with the Dj (JoJo&Gizep) that we also hired and they coordinated everything. Great bad, the only thing bad I can say about them is the lack of communication we had with them!! But all good other then that!! We had a very fancy wedding too and they dressed appropriately and were very respectful in every way!!!!
The band was actually very good, everyone commented how good they were, however, they did not play the songs they had listed on their site which was why we had hired them.(there pl...
ay list on their site had a lot of good fun danceable songs) Their site said they knew 3 polkas, but then I was told the week of that they were working on a new set and they didn't all know the polkas, but I could download them and they would play them from my ipod, which they did and the floor was packed. The songs they did play were good, however not really for a wedding, hardly anyone danced and they only played 2 slow songs, one of which needed to be requested by my dad to get people out on the floor. The floor was then jam packed, I would have assumed they would have picked up on that and played a few more slow songs throughout the 4 hours. They said they took requests, however, the one song (besides a slow song from my dad) that was requested they said they would try and work in- they didn't so we downloaded it at the end of the night and they did let us play it from my ipod while they packed up. I am not saying they weren't good- They were VERY GOOD, just maybe for a party, not a wedding.
After speaking with the DJ over the phone and emails, we had a set plan for what we wanted for music selection. He did not follow the plan, the music was set sooo low that many gue...
sts couldn't hear the bride and grooms first dance. He also was rude to my guests! Do not pick this company if you want your own song selection!!!
Loved, loved, loved Dave from ACA Entertainment!
Came across ACA at a Bridal Show at State Fair Park, and after talking with and seeing/talking with many others, I decided that t...
hey had the best value for their services. After speaking with the owner, I found out that the person I previously was hoping to book, was just booked a few hours previously. She did an amazing job and informing me about another DJ the company had, Dave.
I ended up having the opportunity to meet with Dave and go over my likes and my expectations. He gave me his personal email and phone number and was great and returning any and ALL of my messages. ACA ended up giving me a phenomenal deal to book with them and Dave threw in free up lighting as well. The colors that he chose, matched my wedding colors flawlessly and really made the room POP even more than it did before.
On the big day, I had Dave and his wife DJ-ing. His choice of music, along with my many song suggestions, kept the dance floor packed all night. I had numerous wedding guests come up to me, my husband, and both sets of our parents and tell us how GREAT the DJ was. He kept people up and dancing until the lights came on. Dave was very aware of our guests and made sure to play appropriate music for the crowd. He even broke up all the wedding party dances to make sure the guests weren't bored and so that there was always a great variety of music happening.
I have a difficult first name to say at first, but Dave ensured that he knew how to pronounce my name and my new last name and made sure that he mentioned and referred to us throughout the night.
Dave has a great personality and a great set up. All of his lights, music, and complete sound system kept the party going all night.
We are very satisfied costumers and have been referring Dave to many of our newly engaged friends!!
Our DJ, Dann Smith provided excellent music and entertainment for our wedding! He was very courteous, kind, thoughtful, and creative. Most importantly, Dann met with us several tim...

We had Alex Johnson as our DJ who did a great job. He got the audience involved and was really good at taking requests.
We had DJ Tim Synold; he was friendly and easy to contact. He played all the songs we requested. However, we had a short reception with not many in attendance, so he had a relative...
ly easy time working for us.
Alex was our DJ and he made the night fun and played the music I wanted.
This DJ will make any wedding a hit. I've always thought the DJ makes or breaks the wedding and with this DJ you don't have to worry about a thing! I've seen him perform for years...
and my mother and I agreed he would be the DJ at my wedding before I even met my husband. That is how amazing he is. He was booked before we had our venue/date (as it kept changing). He was completely flexible and patient with us. He gets right back to you with any questions and can get people who don't usually dance out on the dance floor.
My favorite part was that he taught my whole wedding how to do the Wiggle. Aside from this he also performs by singing/dancing! I can't say enough about how amazing this man is!
If you are going to splurge on anything for your wedding it should be this DJ!
Dann made the wedding fun and entertaining. He was easy to work with and was able to work with a very detail oriented bride. He met all of our expectations and more! Pick the righ...
t music and the right DJ, and you shall have the best wedding! Highly recommended.
I would recommend ACA Music and Entertainment for your dj needs. They are affordable and they do an amazing job!! The dj that I had, Chris,was very accomodating and did a great job...
!! I am very satisfied!!
We went with ACA entertainment for our wedding reception after getting a recommendation from a co-worker. Brian Redd was our DJ and we absolutely loved him. He was very professiona...
l and easy going. We got a great price, too. Only things I wasn't happy about ACA was trying to contact them. I tried emailing my DJ but kept getting responses from Nancy, who must be the owner or something. She was really annoying and wouldn't answer any of my questions. Other annoyance was getting ahold of my DJ prior to the wedding- they only plan on calling 3-5 days before your event to finalize everything, which was awful. When you're getting married in less than a week, the last thing you want to be stressing on is when/if your DJ is coming, and all the details with the music. Other than that those issues with the company itself, I'd definitely recommend Brian Redd.
We booked Bobby Way and the Wayouts for our wedding, having seen them many times throughout the summers at festivals around the area. It was a great party, they are so entertaining...
. All our guests were on the dance floor all night. I would get them to play another event in a heart beat! We absolutely loved them!
We had Dann for our wedding DJ and he did an amazing job. He kept everyone on the dance floor throughout the night and had a great sense of humor when on the mic. Dann had a grea...
t style of music and seemed to have a lot of fun while DJing for us. We would definately recommend him to friends.
I was disappointed with the lack of professionalism from them in our communications leading up to the wedding as well as the performance of the DJ. There were many awkward pauses ...
during the dance and a lack of smoothness. Bummer!
Great DJ
He was great! Everyone was dancing and having a great time. People stayed almost until the end of the night and the dance floor always had people on it!
The DJ was awesome. HE helped setup our slideshow. He had a light show. He played the type of music that we requested. He checked in with us a few times throughout the night. ...
The most important thing: the dance floor was packed all night. There wasn't one song played where people weren't out dancing. He did an amazing job. I haven't been to a wedding myself where people were out dancing nonstop and enjoying themselves.
