Don't look elsewhere!!! Black Tie Entertainment is the best! We heard about Black Tie through our wedding venue and I'm so glad we did. Alec was so helpful from the beginning of the planning stages, up until the final dance at the reception. He was so friendly, professional and FUN! We told Alec we wanted an absolute party, and he showed up and killed it. Every one of our guests was on the dance floor and said it was the best wedding they've been to with the best music. Hire them!!! You won't regret it I promise you. As long as Alec is in the business, I will call them for any events I need a DJ for.

Black tie entertainment was recommended by our wedding venue (The Westin) and all I can say is PHENOMENAL!! Alec was our DJ and he was absolutely amazing! From our first conversation he was extremely thorough, made sure to understand what we were looking for in a DJ and addreaaed any concerns or questions that came up. The day of our wedding Alec worked with the photographer and wedding coordinator to make sure everything ran smoothly, that we were where we needed to be at certain times (cake cutting, bouquet/garter toss, dances etc). Once the party started the dance floor was NEVER empty. I have gotten so many compliments on our DJ and how fabulous he was! I highly recommend black tie entertainment to anyone who is looking for an exceptional DJ that will NOT disappoint and will make sure a good time is had by all!

Black tie events is a great company that had a very easy process to follow. They helped us walk through the steps to get a DJ/MC. The site has all the DJ’s with some “about me” videos to see who you will best relate with. You get to talk to those you are interested in before making a final decision. With Black Tie, you do not just get a DJ, you get an MC & DJ for your day (you NEED an MC). We spoke to a few DJ’s and Rick was who we chose.
Rick was absolutely amazing! We spoke to Rick multiple times leading up to the wedding so he could get to know us and plan out every detail. He helped make our wedding day run smoothly and provided true entertainment. He has a great personality and helped keep the energy up all night. You can choose how involved you want Rick to be. If you want him to interact with the crowd and get them energized, he will. If you want him to stay quiet behind the DJ booth and just play music, he will. It is great that you can choose, but we suggest allowing him to interact with everyone.
When we spoke to Rick about the timeline and events to do, we had no idea what we were missing and how critical an MC is. He walked us through different events and games there are to see what we wanted to do. He had suggestions on a timeline to help make things flow smoothly. He worked alongside our planner to make sure we stayed on our timeline and ensured our wedding vision came to fruition. Again, you NEED an MC/DJ, not just a DJ.
When it came to music, this was important since my husband and I are big music people. Rick was super flexible and understanding that we had a list of music that we wanted to be played. There is a portal where we set the songs for the first dance, mother/father/daughter/son dances, and all those types of things. We had playlists where we added specific songs/artists that we wanted played for each part (cocktail hours, dinner, dancing). We got to set a percentage of when we wanted only our music, his choice, or a little of both. We were happy with our choices and Rick was able to read the crowd and know what to play when we gave him the freedom to play his choices. The only thing I will suggest is if you want a particular song you choose toward end of night, just let him know so it is not played too early.
Everything was so well organized and every little detail was planned out.
The portal was also great for everything else like payment, contracts, timeline planning, wedding party names, etc.
Truly was a great experience overall and would recommend Rick and Black Ties events for your day!

Black Tie Entertainment was highly recommended to us by our venue (The Westin) and other vendors, and now we know why! Alec was very easy to work with and he did an amazing job on our wedding day! He had no issues with any of our introduction or music requests. From pre-ceremony to the last song of the night, everything was perfect! All of our guests had a great time. We're so happy that we decided to book Alec and Black Tie Entertainment for our big day!

From the initial consultation call with Black Tie, to the planning leading up to the wedding, and the day itself, everything about the process was seamless! They are extremely professional and worked directly with our venue on any logistics they needed, which was one less thing for me to do as an overwhelmed bride.
We worked with Matt for our wedding, and he made our night a huge success. He has incredible, never-ending energy as an MC and DJ and it is contagious. Our dance floor was packed the entire night (and we have photo evidence to prove it) and guests of all ages were on their feet and highly engaged. Guests have since commented about how much fun the music/night was.
Our one complaint is that the night couldn't go on forever! 10/10 would recommend. Thank you to the whole Black Tie team!

Alec was so great to work with! He was quick to respond and easy to communicate with. Our planning phone calls were very informative and he helped in every way he could. On the wedding day, he was very lively and we got so many good compliments about him. He amped up the crowd and kept it fun. He helped to coordinate along with our photographer and day of coordinator and everything went so smoothly.

If you are an engaged couple reading reviews to decide on your DJ, look no further and hire Black Tie Entertainment! We were planning our wedding from DC and had to move it because of COVID and never had an issue. Communication was professional and prompt and we thanks to Alec, we never left the dance floor during the entire reception!
Alec went above and beyond - communicating with wait staff to ensure dinner service was served on time and helped me with my dress ripping at end of the night!
Thank you, Black Tie Entertainment!

Overall Jersey John was very good. He kept the day flowing well and read the crowd as far as music choices. He definitely kept the party moving and people on the dance floor which is exactly what we wanted. He was also very organized as far as lining up the wedding party for introductions and keeping people on track for speeches. My only complaints are that I had given specific instructions for a certain song to be played toward the end of the evening when everyone was on the dance floor and he played it early while everyone was out taking pictures with the sunset. We did ask him to play it again at the correct time and he did. We also picked a very specific final song of the night and it was not played. I was pretty disappointed that the one he did play was not even I song I enjoy. So overall it was a good experience, just make sure the DJ really understands any specific directions/requests that you have.

I chose Black Tie to do our wedding at Casa Ybel this past weekend. They did the ceremony and reception for sound and music. They were perfect in every way....outstanding sound system, exceptional reading of the crowd, our party rocked and everyone is now raving about how amazing the wedding was. I can not thank them enough....Robert and Julie at Black Tie were amazing. I highly recommend them for any event.

Black Tie Entertainment was absolutely amazing! Julie, who handled all the contracts, billing, and the five thousand random questions I had, was an outstanding point-person. They were incredible about being mindful of my budget as well. We had Jeff Jodice as our DJ and he was absolutely amazing! He was incredibly conscientious about our list of Do Not Play's, and had a great ear for matching our preferred play list with his own choices to keep the party going. He was also great about spur of the moment requests and getting people on the dance floor. Overall, he was an important addition to our incredible wedding reception.

Jeff from Black Tie Entertainment was our DJ and were very happy! He was very friendly and easy to work with and kept the party going the whole time. I loved that he was so flexible as things on your wedding day can get crazy, he just adjusted the schedule as the night went along and did everything we asked. The process was also very easy, we booked through them and then used their website throughout the planning process and filled it in as we knew the details. I would recommend them to any couple looking for an awesome wedding DJ!

After meeting with Max, it took us a whole 2 minutes outside his office to know that we wanted him to Dj our wedding. We turned right around and booked him. He did an amazing job. He called and checked in on us throughout the year to see if we had any questions or needed help with any planning (we booked a year in advance and were from out of state). The music that was played was exactly what I had in mind, Before the reception had started he even made sure we had food and drinks. He coordinated with other vendors to make sure everything flowed together and ran seamlessly. I cannot thank him enough, highly recommend.

I cannot recommend this DJ company enough. They were recommended by a friend and we are so glad for the recommendation! We had Robert DJ our wedding with a party motivator and it was amazing – I still have guests telling me how fun our wedding was, that it was the best, most fun wedding they’ve ever been to! One guest said that ours was the only wedding they’d attended where every single person was dancing – and I echo that statement!

When I first met with Michael from Black Tie, I knew that if I booked their services they would be absolutely amazing and make everything go smoothly. They seemed so experienced. They provided music, up lights, and incredible service. They made sure that everyone knew where to be when. The musics kept everyone dancing all night long!

These guys were amazing! Neal was our DJ and our dance floor was PACKED and overflowing at all times! He did everything we asked... Even "cleaned up" an impossible Snoop Doggy Dogg song for us.... (long story!) I fully recommend Black Tie if you want your guests to have an amazing time!

Black Tie Entertainment, was great to work with. They're website is user friendly and makes it very easy to research music and put together your request list. Our DJ, Michael we very easy going and knowledgeable. He did a great job. We had a dance mix that I had put together myself, and he found a way to incorporate that into the night. Our venue commented that they'd never seen their dance floor that full before. In my opinion the most important things in a wedding are a great group of guests, excellent food, and music that keeps the dance floor packed. Black Tie did just that, and we can't thank them enough.

Thank you Robert for doing such a great job! We had so much fun, and got many compliments on what a great dj we had. We truly appreciated your flexibility, suggestions and hard work in making our day so special. The 'dancing on clouds' was absoutly stunning. And the part favors (blow up microphones and guitars) were such a hit. What a wonderful idea. The only thing I probley would have changed was my 'must play' list. I didn't have enough music for my older guests. But that was my choice in music selection. Without a doubt, you will be on our list of recommendations. Thank you for everything :)

They had a portable setup with full speakers on the beach for the wedding, a wireless mic for the minster, and a full setup inside the reception room. It was awesome and clear on the beach and the reception rocked! They did a great job!!

I am still getting compliments on how awesome the reception was because the DJ kept the dance floor PACKED all five hours. I worked with Robert and he thought five hours would be too long and that a lot of people would leave, but it was great and we probably could have gone for another hour. He was interactive and played music for everyone. I highly recommend Robert and Black Tie Entertainment--they rock! He was also very sweet and kept coming up to the sweetheart table and asking if I needed anything. He was simply great!

The owner Rob is great to work with, but we booked a little late and we got one of his employees. The Dj was not bad but I found out after the wedding he did not ask four of our tables to go eat. Plus he only played about one quarter of our songs. Overall the night was great but I wish I had the owner

Black tie entertainment helped us to arrange an amazing party people are still talking about!!
Everything went as talked: Lighting, Music, decoration, glow show, intro song, first dance, dinner, etc.. The only thing was that he forgot to play the 'tossing the garter' so we never did that, and a few songs were played two times.
They also helped us to keep the costs down on things we did not needed and as well helped us to go through the planning.

Black Tie Entertainment was great to work with and left us completely satisfied! The DJ took the time to learn what songs we wanted, the mood we aimed for, how to pronounce each party members name, and what order we wanted our reception to play out in. They took care of everything, from helping my parents and our moh/bm know when to speak. They found perfect times for special dances as well as fun things like the bouquet and garter toss. We initially signed a contract for the reception only, but a few weeks before the wedding were in need of a ceremony musician. They were eager to help us and agreed to do a whole other setup for our ceremony. Even though it was outside, the ceremony music was just the right volume and was discreetly set up. The volume of music at the reception was great, and they had a great mix that kept people on the floor. Many of the first dance and parent dance songs were not common songs and they had no problem finding the music to play for us. They were wonderful about communicating with us throughout the entire planning process, often checking in and reminding us what they needed to make our day the best it could be. This company is run very well and are highly recommended.

We used Black Tie Entertainment for our wedding and the DJ was very accommodating. He played a wide mix of music that kept everyone on the dance floor all night. They have an online party planner that helps with the organization of the event which is very helpful! Good Price too.

The most compliment we have received from our wedding was how fantastic the DJ was! Black Tie was full of class but kept the dance floor popping the entire night! They played during our wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception and they were absolutely awesome! They also set up uplighting in our ballroom which made the room glow with beauty :) Thank you Black Tie!

We had an awesome DJ provided to us from Black Tie. Rob is a chore to work with and his team of DJ's will analyze you to ensure they know what type of music you prefer. They were dependable, professional and had the dance floor rocking. They also have lighting options that make the room look amazing.

Our DJ took extra steps to ensure our wedding was perfect. As I lived out of town, we used email, internet and telephone calls to ensure that all details were perfect. Michael was dressed professionally and ensured that all guests had a wonderful time. Much more than a DJ!! They also did uplighting in our reception, provided music for the ceremony and cocktail hour (in two different locations) and ensured we would have excellent sound for the entire day. The uplighting was spectactular and well worth the extra cost.

Our DJ - Robert Dilallo was awesome! Not only did he have us dancing the whole night, but he also kept in close communication with us and our other vendors during the entire evening which made the night flow smoothly and without much stress. We are not much into the organized dances like the electric slide, YMCA, chicken dance, etc. And Robert completely listened to what we wanted and did not want. No organized dances were played and we still danced the whole night (the dance floor was packed)!
Also listen to his suggestions. He recommended uplighting, which we did opt for. It was amazing! - Our entire banquet room at Tween Waters in Captiva had aqua/pool blue uplighting which made it look like we were under water (perfect for a beach wedding). Our guests kept commenting on how good the room looked and how perfect of a DJ he was all night.
We highly recommend Robert!!!

Everyone said that our DJ was amazing. Robert is so good at getting everyone up and dancing. He played a great variety of music. He also was very good at keeping on schedule and doing everything we asked as far as special dances. He didn't play everything we requested but that is because I sent him the updated list at the last minute. Everyone had a great time and we credit our DJ with that.
