Alive Events

, photo booth and MC) as well as bat mitzvahs (DJ, dancers, custom swing photo booth, custom step and repeat, staging, custom dance floor, games, grafitti artists). I have worked with countless entertainment companies in my decade of event planning and these guys are THE BEST. They are my first call and go-tos for all events big or small. They CARE and they are honest, trustworthy and just damn good at what they do. HIRE THEM!!!!

the best experience ever. The attention to detail and amount of customization that went in to our event, not only made my husband and I feel special but our families, bridal party, and ALL of our guests. From beginning to end, they work with you, listen to your vision, and make recommendations/suggestions that you would have never even thought of yourself - like the Flamenco guitarists at our cocktail hour or the string quartet when walking down the aisle. We just watched our wedding video and I have never seen a more packed dance floor! First of all, Aldo Ryan is the jack of all trades. He is the most amazing MC that really knows how to get the party going. He sings, he dances, and truly does it all. Douglas Genuard has the most incredible voice and their energy together is unmatched. The way that Douglas plays the guitar - I had guests video taping all of it!! DJ Legacy is hands down the best. He is literally a magician when it comes to the turntables. He knows EXACTLY what people like and played the most perfect mix for our crowd which included younger guests, older guests, American and Russian guests!! I was initially worried that people wouldn't have fun especially during these times, but I have 3 hours of footage where everyone is straight up dancing, smiling, and having fun. I have never seen my dad dance the way that he did. The energy that Alive Events brings is truly more than I could have ever asked for. The customizations they did for our first dance were so unique and special. I have to say, the saxophonist Ilya Gruzdev was INCREDIBLE. That was the cherry on top. The whole band was just phenomenal - Mia Wallace, Teona, Billy Cliff were just amazing. Also, their energy together really added to the party. Not to mention the sound engineer Dima who made sure that everything was perfect - not one squeak! I am taking the time to write this review because honestly, I want to recommend Alive Events a million times. I told Aldo that my #1 goal for our wedding is for our guests to have fun and they NAILED IT. Hands down - BEST ENTERTAINMENT THERE IS. PERIOD.

he amazing, energetic, most memorable party ever if it weren't for Alive Events. This man right here... is incredible. The passion, excitement, and joy that Aldo and his team have for each and every single event that they are a part of is clear. After working with Aldo & Jon, I know that my husband Bobby and I have made friends for life. There is no possible way to thank them for the time, energy, blood, sweat, and tears they poured into making our wedding the most incredible day of our lives. This team is DIFFERENT. They go above and beyond x100 to make sure that your event is unlike anything else you have ever experienced. All that I can say is if you have an event coming up, I promise you that your event is just as, if not MORE, important to this team as it is to you. From the moment I walked into the ballroom I could see that the Alive Events team was just as excited as me. This too was a night that they had been waiting for. Anyone can throw party, that's true. But to throw a party that goes beyond any expectations, that will spoke about for years to come amongst your family & friends, that will bring you to tears when you have to accept that yes, it's actually over... that's a job for Alive Events

ce floor were because of the atmosphere that was created by Jon and Joe. Would highly recommend for other wedding couples.

ave been more happy with how everything turned out. There are two things you will immediately notice about him, he has such an open and engaging personality, you can’t help but feel energized just speaking to him! The second is how professional he and his whole operation is (especially when compared to some other people we spoke with). He met with all multiple times to set up the timeline and different minor details, he has a world-class website which helps you do everything from pick different songs for your big day, to enter information for your bridal party, to get the timeline ready down to the minute. Our venue initially said the would not allow MCs at all and Aldo worked with us and call them to help show his professionalism and vouch for the importance of an MC in our wedding. One thing that Aldo does which is truly unique is for our first dance song, we had a Voiceover of each of us talking to each other (we didn’t know what the other one said until the big day), it was something so special and all of our guests were truly blown away. He worked with us to incorporate Russian traditions which he researched as well, which was really important to the bride. He also recommended Jennifer as a Day Of coordinator and she was fantastic. It started to unexpectedly pour right before the outdoor ceremony start and Jenny was totally on top of everything and worked seamlessly with the venue to move everything indoors within minutes. Honestly it would have been 100x more stressful if we did not have Jenny and Aldo there to help us and make sure our wedding was the most magical day ever. We can’t recommend them more highly and you definitely will not regret hiring either of them!

ion and were so impressed. Aldo, our MC, brought so much energy and had everyone on the dance floor all night. If you are lucky enough to secure this team, I am certain you will not be disappointed and will have a wonderful event. Thank you from the bottom of our heart!

t and was beyond accommodating they worked with us every single step of the way. They also created a stunning love story for us . Aldo and Arthur were beyond awesome and kept the dance floor packed and entertained. We do not have enough great things to say about Aldo and his team!

o what we wanted and made their own suggestions, based on experience, along the way - and they were right every time! They knew how to read the crowd and chose music that kept everyone on the dance floor all night! We chose a package that added some personal touches and they certainly made the wedding - our wedding was in 2019 and people still rave about Aldo and Jon!!

absolutely perfect. I literally had to take my shoes off before dinner because I couldn't stop dancing. The music was on point and Aldo had everyone smiling and laughing even when they were sitting down!!! If I could give more stars i would, but they were PERFECT! Thank youuuuu so much

n "a DJ", you were "our DJ" and we rocked on all evening to those Island tunes. The best recommendation came when people said, "Aldo Entertainment is your DJ/MC?" "You are going to have a great reception!", and we did. Thank You Again, Raphael&Shelon

ress every concern and give you ideas to set your wedding apart. We had a very chaotic planning process because like many weddings, we were blending two very different cultures (in our case, Russian and American). He made it so that EVERYONE was dancing, not just one side by playing some classical Russian songs and then some awesome dance hits. He also has an incredibly user friendly website for requesting songs, for avoiding songs, and for planning every minute down to a T. On the day of the wedding, he kept everything running smoothly and helped us keep our timeline as much as possible. He was fun and entertaining and just an absolute pleasure to work with. Thank you Aldo, we are so lucky we got to work with you!!

ver met or have been at a wedding that had an MC with the ideas, energy, and presence that Aldo possesses. From the start Aldo was very detail oriented and genuinely cared about our event. He has so many great ideas and plans that will set your wedding apart from "typical" wedding entertainment. Aldo was easy to get in touch with and responded fairly quickly regarding any question or thought we may have had, whether it is was 6 months or two weeks before the wedding. He was completely professional throughout the entire process and even guided us through decisions that did not pertain to the entertainment or music. In addition to Aldo, his staff is phenomenal! DJ Executive had my guests dancing the entire evening! DJ Executive took the time to meet with us separately to go over the music we wanted. He listened to our requests and made sure we wrote them down. My husband is Haitian and I am Italian so we were concerned about the music and wanted to ensure we acknowledged both cultures in order to please our guests. DJ Executive had experience with these genres and was knowledgeable on this music. He played a great mix of genres from our request list and had the dancefloor packed the entire evening! Everyone was pleased. I can keep going, but I will run out of room! I HIGHLY recommend Aldo Ryan and DJ Executive! I can't say it enough and my guests are still talking about Aldo 3 weeks later! He is the first topic that comes up when people compliment us on our wedding! ALDO RYAN IS THE BEST!
