Banks Entertainment

g! We had multiple meetings to build our playlist and timeline together. He offered great suggestions, which was really helpful since my husband and I aren’t big on music. Having him guide us relieved a lot of stress for me. The wedding itself turned out to be perfect. I would highly recommend Banks services over and over again!

would. Definitely recommend Anthony and the Banks crew!

The photo booth was a hit too. Thank you so much!!

were a bit hesitant about the marquee letters at first, but we decided to go for it, and I’m so glad we did.. they looked awesome! We met with the DJ twice before the wedding, and they were so helpful in organizing our timeline and suggesting great songs for the parts we hadn’t decided on yet. I highly recommend them—100%!

ovided by the DJ. I give all the credit to our DJ Dre! He was amazing and followed our plan to the T. Even with the slight malfunction of a blown circuit due to heavy rains, we lucked out with an impromptu volunteer violinist who helped get the ceremony started. We danced the night away without pause. I highly recommend the group photo in the beginning to get things started and don't do any slow songs besides the obvious first ones. We went fast, fast, fast and it was an amazing fun evening! Thanks Dre (and Brandon-Good Luck!)

se to walk down the aisle were completely wrong. The DJ changed the song as my spouse was half way down the aisle. The micro phone during the ceremony the WHOLE time. The DJ stood there without any attempt to fix it. The songs during the wedding reception were not what we picked. Even after I went up and spoke with the DJ. We gave the owner a chance to fix this and make it right after the wedding but of course they halfway tried. I wouldn’t refer this place to my worst enemy.

oser to the date, I had to send multiple follow-up emails and voicemails to get in touch. I didn’t hear back until the week of the wedding, which caused a lot of stress and made it feel rushed. Despite it being “the busy season,” every couple deserves to feel valued and heard. Unfortunately, the DJ did not live up to our expectations either. Only about 3-5 of our Must Plays were played, and one of our Do Not Plays made an appearance. This was a huge letdown, especially after spending hours curating the perfect playlist. The next day, we kept saying, “Oh, he didn’t play this song,” which was frustrating. Additionally, the mixing felt odd and random, with moments of silence. While his music selection was still good and we enjoyed ourselves in the moment, I felt disregarded as the bride and, looking back, believe we missed out on having OUR dance floor.

g songs that got people dancing on our wedding day. We had so much fun on the dance floor!

t have a planner. Banks did photography, photobooth and dj services for us. Michael our photographer did a great job and we LOVE the pictures. Our dj was Elijah, he helped make some last minute changes go smooth and played our playlist and kept the dancing going all night! So fun! Highly recommend

he rain and he worked with me and my husband to adjust everything to our needs. The music was perfect and the guests had a wonderful time on the dance floor. I only wish we could have danced longer because the music was so great, but he dealt with every challenge with grace and patience. Thank you Tee!

process. On the wedding day they did an amazing job DJing, keeping my guests dancing and just making sure everything went smooth. The uplight display was also really beautiful and was exactly what i wanted. Our DJ was Logan and we loved having him! We added on the photobooth too, and our guests seemed to enjoy it.

were a lot of fun to work with. Their mix of old-school and modern dance music kept people dancing all night long. I even saw some older guests getting up to dance! Overall, I highly recommend Banks Entertainment and our DJ (Ryan) for any event

d like I did. From one bride to another, DON’T use this company. We gave them a playlist for the reception, and none of our music was played. For cocktail hour, they did follow our music, but they didn’t mix the songs up like they said they would (when I wrote the songs down, I didn’t shuffle them) so multiple songs by the same artist played back to back. When the dancing part started, none of the music was correct. My coordinator told the DJ multiple times that the music was wrong, but they blamed not having the right music on the wifi connection. I can’t wrap my head around why the music wasn’t downloaded. They even played songs that we specifically told them NOT to play. The planning sheet even has sections for genres that we wanted and didn’t want, and the music didn’t even follow this. At the very least, if the wifi was the problem, they should have tried to play music that was similar to our preferences. Over 4 hours of music, full of songs that meant a lot to my husband and I, was not used. It felt like the DJ was unprepared despite two meetings beforehand. The DJ that showed up wasn’t even the one who I worked through the schedule with. I have been trying for almost 4 weeks to get in contact with them about this situation. I was told twice that the owner would contact me, and I haven’t heard a word. They’ve even ghosted my emails now. PLEASE, from one bride to another, don’t put yourself through this! I truly feel like my reception was ruined because of this, and I don’t want other brides doing through this!!

t 8 pm to a more party vibe and they did great with that. They were super cool and made sure to follow the do not play list we came up with beforehand!

e time to understand our requests and did a great job executing them on the day of the wedding. The DJ also had a great sense of timing and was able to keep an upbeat vibe on the dance floor all night. He also took requests from guests and played songs that were meaningful to us as a couple. Overall, Banks Entertainment made our wedding planning process easy and stress-free. They communicated clearly throughout and met our expectations on the day of the wedding. I highly recommend their services!

hem. However, wedding day was less than satisfactory. We had 140 guests. Issues: 1). Only half our guests could hear the music or announcements due to speakers only being set in front of the dj stand. This resulted in ppl crowding up around other tables to hear the speeches as well as leaving early. Not only was the sound very low and centered it was not clear. Had a muffled sound to it. 2). Our wedding party entrance song was not played. Instead they skipped to the song my groom and I were coming out to so the party had to toss their planned entrance skit. Plus we could barely hear the music to enter to. 3). DJ trying to be sarcastic after a few spontaneous toasts by saying "okay, anyone else?" To which someone raised their hand and she proceeded to respond "oh that was a joke" and was actually reluctant to give them the mic. I understand keeping a timeline but sarcasm in a time where people are being sentimental is not ideal. 4). I was required to turn in a timeline which I took very seriously and made sure to include all our favorite music as well as a few songs I wanted to dance with my husband to. After a week stressing over this timeline not even half of it was played. The DJ free styled and played music I've never heard of and skipped songs I had an asterisk next to even after a thorough phone call the week before going over our music selection. 5). After all this I typed an email to voice our disappointment and not a single response. I cc'd the main contact email foe Banks as well as Caitlyn whom I did most pre wedding communications with and the DJ who had reached out to me about the timeline. Not one person with Banks entertainment cares enough about having let us down on our wedding night to give a quick response to our feedback. As a business owner I find this very unprofessional and would not recommend them for any occasion. This is not what I'd expect from a DJ service that is part of a $12,000 venue package.

deflating. We absolutely LOVED them!

t a couple months prior to the wedding so we could discuss timeline and our vision for the DJ. We filled out a form selecting songs/types of music we wanted/didn’t want. About a week or two prior we spoke to the DJ and finalized everything. The day of the DJ arrived on time and got everything prepared. During our reception he was flexible with the thousand requests he was receiving from my husband and I and the guests. He kept everyone dancing which was exactly what we wanted! We wanted a dance party of a reception and the DJ made this possible! We had the best night ever and we are so thankful for a DJ who listened to us and kept the party going.

lled in last minute and did a fantastic job! We would highly recommend for your wedding!

ight after another instead of being spaced out. Overall, he was very low energy and didn't do anything to hype up the crowd.

y as we got closer to the wedding date and it got harder on our side to make things work. We did end up spending extra for a mic to make sure our wedding readers had a mic, which we weren't super excited about – it was about $150 for an extra mic. That being said, they made that change the day before our wedding and were super accommodating. Brad, our DJ, was very friendly, took our phone calls, worked with all our song requests (even the ones we only wanted to play for specific amounts of times), and did a great job of keeping things moving and announcing everything during the evening. Overall, would recommend. Just watch those extras and make sure to keep communication open!

oud you couldn’t talk and chat. The Photo Booth was so fun and the perfect favor for our guests. They were able to get it sent directly to their phone and we got all of the photos for us to save and print off later! Everyone had a blast getting to take pictures and be goofy!

o make sure everything was what we wanted!

with us and make sure we had all the music we wanted. The DJ was great at announcing and was quick to ask us or my mom about a timeline thing or anything he needed.

always checking in with me and being so attentive to my guests and their requests. He even got out on the dance floor and taught our guests the right dance moves! SO so recommend Banks Entertainment and Sam for your event!

to make sure everything was perfect. 10/10 do recommend for weddings!

ional and I would suggest them to anyone who is looking for a DJ for their event!

xactly what we wanted. Highly recommend Sam!

ight. He danced with us and was so much fun! Even before the wedding, we chatted over the phone twice and worked out our vision. He really made it come to life!!!

dances that went to certain songs! He made the day go by so much easier by also MC-ing the reception around our schedule. He even got my husband and I our food and had it ready for us so we didn’t have to worry about a thing after our grand entrance. His outgoing personality and fun-loving, positive attitude made all of our guests feel comfortable to get down! Overall we couldnt have asked for a better DJ service. I would highly recommend booking him for any social event!

the dance floor full. He even got out an danced with us at the end of the night. He did an awesome job!!!

um back in less than 2 weeks!

ngs started, or introducing the next part of the day. It was all taken care of and was done completely smoothly! Mike did a great job at staying on schedule and played a great mix of songs. I would highly suggest Banks Entertainment. Everyone was incredibly professional, organized, and fun. They did an incredible job!

ing and so great to work with. I just want to add in also what a phenomenal job everyone did. I loved how Mike interacted with the guests. Mike was on time for everything and made sure to keep everything/everyone going. I don’t see a lot of DJ’s interact the way Mike did. Arielle was great with the photobooth, she had all the guests interacting with the photobooth. Holly and Brooklyn were so easy going and had great personalities and our pictures went so smoothly. Mandy and Connor were so helpful and Mandy was so great and had a great personality as well. Keith was always helpful and making sure my needs were met! Y’all did such a great job and I am in love with all the pictures! Mandy did such an amazing job on our video! Overall Banks Entertainment/Studios is the way to go! They have bundle deals at an affordable price! I appreciate y’all so much and I will most definitely recommend you guys if anyone asks me. Thank you so so much for making our big day the best day!

a great playlist. Mike was our DJ and did a wonderful job. We had to move some timelines around during the wedding and he didn't hesitate to make it work and help with the transitions.

r favorites. From start to finish, everything with Banks was easy to take care of, and they are wonderful about working with you to find the perfect music to suite you. I would recommend Banks Entertainment to any couple looking for a DJ for their special day. They won't disappoint!

nce. He also played the wrong song version for the father daughter dance. This isn’t 100% his fault, but he didn’t play the song for us beforehand or ask if he had the correct version. Overall, things were great.

communicate and plan with them! I don't live in the same city, but we were able to plan over the phone and through email. The DJ arrived in plenty of time to get everything set up. He was very professional, but also fit right in with our family and friends. He was also laid back and super fun, which is what we, our family, and friends are all about. Banks helped our wedding be exactly what we wanted!
