We are feeling extremely grateful for choosing Drew and Cornerstone Entertainment as our wedding DJ. The attention to detail and ability to orchestrate our musical wishes was truly impressive. We appreciated his calm and patient demeanor while troubleshooting challenges that occurred during set up. In the end, we couldn’t have been happier with the music and Drew. Our memories will last forever and he was a vital part of making those memories perfect.
Absolutely an amazing experience with Cornerstone Entertainment! Would give 10 stars for the professional and incredible job by Drew!!!
Drew is very professional and organized. He makes the process so easy. And makes the entertainment part of the wedding the least stressful. I Definitely would recommend!
We had the pleasure of working with Drew at CornerStone Entertainment for our wedding. He was professional, understanding, and a real pleasure to work with. Super responsive and accommodating.
We ended up having a family emergency and had to postpone the wedding reception. However I am beyond excited to work with him in the future.
To anyone looking for someone with personality, character, and kindness CornerStone entertainment is the way to go! -Eddie & Jordan Montoya
Best service! The staff was amazing and they made it easy to work with them. Thank you for making our wedding unforgettable!
Our guests loved the photo booth. Cornerstone was professional throughout the whole process: from booking to take up and tear down. I would highly recommend them for your event!
The Social Booth was a HUGE HIT at our wedding! Drew was so easy to work with and very accommodating. He coordinated with Northstar and Audere Events to schedule the delivery and take-down. He brought it up in the chairlift. It was self-run since it’s a selfie booth. Our guests from children to our grandparents were all able to use the selfie station/social booth. It was so much fun because of the green screen. He let us send him backdrops to use. We included photos of Madagascar and Paris because that’s where we were going on our honeymoon. They also have awesome Lake Tahoe backgrounds that we had available for our guests. A wide range of digital props were included. We ended up adding extra time for the selfie station because everyone was enjoying it so much! We highly recommend the Social Booth at your next event!
Drew Kondo was our DJ and I can't say enough positive things about him! He was extremely professional, adaptive, creative, and worked hard to get us what we wanted in DJing at our wedding. Thank you! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!
Wow! Drew is the best! We couldn't have asked for a better DJ to host our wedding. Apart from having a great personality and presence with us and our guests, he was also very focused on making our day shaped for us. Drew is very detail oriented (plus for me) and had lots of advice and suggestions for our big day. So it was no surprise that it went off without a hitch! I 100% recommend him!
Drew was such an amazing DJ and MC! He was very attentive to our needs and wishes, but offered his own suggestions to make the evening better in a very courteous and professional manner. He was adept at keeping the dance floor occupied, even with our small crowd. Drew was also amazingly flexible as we made any necessary changes to our schedule on the day of. Overall, I was SO impressed with Drew and Cornerstone Entertainment!!
Drew did an amazing job from start to finish. From planning the timeline of events, choosing songs, keeping us on schedule, keeping people engaged, mic up for the ceremony, handling our special requests and beyond. I can’t say enough about how well he worked with us and how much he helped make our wedding day what it was. Great job.
Drew did such a great job as the DJ at our wedding. He's super organized and made us feel really comfortable with his preparedness leading up to the wedding. He respected all of our requests and brainstormed ideas on how to adjust things we weren't too fond of (like the bridal party intros). He even created a custom mix upon request. We loved working with Drew - if you want a true professional who will run your wedding seamlessly and keep the dance floor going, hire Cornerstone Entertainment!
Amazing!! Really helped keep the timeline rolling and was so attentive to the schedule and event!
Wonderful Dj! He did his research into the wedding party beforehand, making it very personal, and involving the audience and kept things going so well! Most professional dj and awesome service!! Great job!
We hired Drew for our wedding and had the best experience. I greatly appreciated Drew's professionalism and flexibility with our needs. Drew was very responsive and communicated well with us regarding schedule and song selection. He is very detail oriented which greatly reduced our stress for the wedding. Everyone loved the music and even though our wedding was small, people were constantly on the dance floor. Thank you Drew for such great service!
I wasn't completely sure how everything was going to work out since people wouldn't have prints, (an optional extra that we didn't order) but everything turned out great. There was a massive snow storm in Tahoe the day of our wedding and Drew was still there on time and let us know before he cleaned up so people could take some last minute photos. Everything turned out perfect and people had so much fun with the props and gifs they were able to create. Technology isn't my cup of tea but drew was very patient with me and explained everything I had questions about.
Cornerstone Entertainment was great to work with. Drew was very thorough, and always made sure I had all of my questions answered. Drew brought everything together, and I didn't have to worry about a thing. His team that ran the photo booth were very fun and kept everyone smiling! It is great to look back on all of the photos that were taken in the photo booth!
The owner, Drew Kondo, is a consummate professional with excellent communication skills. Everything went smoothly before, during, and following our wedding. Drew gave me clear specs for designing my own photo strip template and tested it out beforehand. He also has several great designs to choose from, but I utilized my graphic design skills for an extra custom look. I’m glad he let me know about his dietary restrictions so we didn’t order a vendor meal for him. At the end of the night, he gave us a flash drive with all of the photo booth images, which he later posted in an online gallery that we were able to share with family and friends. Thanks, Drew!
Clay was the DJ for our South Lake Tahoe wedding and he did an excellent job! My husband and I wanted a DJ who wouldn't be cheesy or annoying, and Clay fit that perfectly. He was always very professional when communicating with us and gave us great tips and insight during the planning process about how to time out our ceremony/reception and what music would work well for each part. He did a great job of playing the music we discussed and also going with the flow when we had last minute changes. I would not hesitate to recommend him to everyone I know!
Drew did a great job on our wedding at Heavenly Lakeview Lodge. He was very professional, responsive and comparable in price. He had great lists of songs for ideas. We meet the week before to review all of the details of the ceremony a d reception. Everyone loved the photo booth too!
Drew is amazing! He is very professional. He called us a week before our event and went over all the details, even the details we didn't realize would be part of a wedding. He arrived early the day of our wedding and set up in the pouring rain. Luckily the rain let up before the event started. He created a great atmosphere and kept the event moving. His ability to read the dance floor crowd is incredible! I highly recommend him for your event.
We rented AV equipment from Drew for our wedding and he came along and managed / trouble-shooted everything. Worked out great. Would highly recommend.
We worked with Clay for our wedding in South Lake Tahoe and I can honestly say that our wedding would NOT have ran as smoothly as it did without him. He was incredible to work with, kind, patient, and very knowledgeable. He helped us with our rehearsal which was CRUCIAL and he guided the entire run of show for the evening. Can't say enough great things about him! Highly recommended!
My reception could not have gone better! Clay was amazing from the very start. He made sure to check in with myself, my husband, the officiant, and everyone who was involved. He kept the flow/pace perfectly and was flexible when some things changed. I can’t thank him enough for the work he put in. Everyone was complimenting the music during and after dinner, fantastic job!!!
Drew was AWESOME and exceeded all of our expectations!
Drew was amazing, professional, and catered to all our wedding needs.
Drew at Cornerstone did a WONDERFUL job with our wedding. Having planned large scale events myself for my job, I knew that a DJ could really make or break a party. After interviewing multiple DJ's, I knew Drew would be our pick. The thing that sold me was when he said, "This party is not about me. I am not there to be the center of attention." He made it very clear that he would help direct the flow of the party and help to get everyone out on the dance floor. And he was great!
I was particularly impressed with how he and his wife went above and beyond to help us figure a variety of logistical things out for the party. They drove quite a ways out of their way to the reception site, to scout it and help figure out where everything would need to be set up. Drew spent a good amount of time on the phone with me, hammering out the best reception timeline flow. He was able to give some great advice on how to make things move smoothly and asked all of the right questions.
On the day of the party, there were inevitably things that happened that changed the timeline at the last minute (wedding party arriving late, etc.). Drew went with the flow and helped everything go very smoothly, coordinating with our wedding planner and other vendors seamlessly. We, unfortunately, didn't have as many people on the dance floor as I had hoped but I attribute that not to Drew but to how we as a couple decided to set up the party itself. The people who did stay for the entire party had a great time on that dance floor and Drew did a great job playing to the crowd.
If you are looking for a very accommodating DJ who will is professional, dependable, courteous, and attentive to the needs of his clients, go with Drew! He did a wonderful job!
Oh! And his photo booth is so much fun! We didn't think we would get it at first but I am glad we did, if only to have the goofy pictures of my grandparents and my parents to treasure...
Drew was hands down amazing! Very good communicating, response time , and friendly! He played amazing music during our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception! My sweet 89 year old grandma who wanted to waltz with my husband got her wish made- drew made sure to play a song so she could share a dance with my husband even though it wasn’t on the agenda! Everything was perfect
My wife and I used Drew for a photobooth at our wedding in South Lake and he was absolutely wonderful. He was extremely easy to get a hold of and regularly stayed in. Intact with me either by phone or email. On our wedding day, he showed up early to set up and has a friendly fun personality. The pictures from the booth looked really nice and everyone had a wonderful time. If you are considering a photobooth for your wedding or event we would seriously highly recommend using Drew. We are so glad we booked him. It made our wedding day so much more fun. All the kids loved it! But then again so did all the adults!!
Drew is amazing! He was great about communicating with me leading up to the wedding to go over everything and he even came out and talked to me before introductions and helped everyone line up in order and told them exactly what to do. I had a crowd that wasn't necessarily the dancing type and he had lots of people on the dance floor! He even played a song I requested (on the spot) that he had to find because it wasn't in his list I would use Drew for any event with absolutely no hesitation!
Drew did an amazing job at our wedding. The photobooth we had was very accommodating to large groups and small; in fact, it almost felt like a photo shoot as oppose to the actual booths. This is the best entertainment for guests of all ages!
I am so thankful for Drew and this company!! We hired them for our wedding in July of this year. The photo booth was the absolute best quality!!All of my guest's were raving about it and are so excited to utilize him for their future events. Our DJ experience was amazing as well. Drew was a great point of contact and so quick and detailed when answering all of my (many) questions. You will not go wrong by choosing this company for your special event!!❤️ Such a pleasure to work with!
I really enjoyed working with Drew. He is very professional and organized. I didn’t realize all the little details of planning a wedding day timeline, but he made it so easy. Drew is also very conscience of playing the music you do, or do not want to hear at your wedding reception, which I appreciated. We had some unexpected rain on our wedding day, but Drew handled it and we still had an epic dance party at our wedding reception!!
We Loved DJ Rheba!
Initially I worked with Drew to learn more about Cornerstone Entertainment and who our DJ would be. I felt confident and comfortable right away with Drew's knowledge of the business, equipment and wedding flow. Music was a big deal for our wedding and my husband wanted to be in control of the music selection throughout the night. Rheba worked with us and played everything Colton wanted in a way that made the night fly by because we were having so much fun. Rheba was extremely organized, light hearted and flexible with how the night went and what we wanted to do in the moment. She kept us on time with our priority moments and communicated extremely well with our entire family. Can't imagine our day without her!
Let me start off by saying that Drew and his company were absolutely amazing. I had contacted Drew maybe a month before the wedding, my previous vender for the Photo Booth required myself to create my own photo style, background and to provide a backdrop. I found Cornerstone Entertainment, and they replied IMMEDIATELY. The entire time they were thorough, kind, and helpful. My guests LOVED the Photo Booth, everything about it. Drew and his company were very flexible when it came to designing the photo card, I had even asked them to see if they could attach a photo of a wiener dog (since we have two and we incorporated it into our theme) and they said there would be a charge, but when they sent me the proof, they said it was okay. As the Bride, I wish I had utilized this great feature more, but I have tons of photos of my guests. They even allowed me to make my own custom props/signs. My husband was skeptical about the Photo Booth and the costs, but once he saw how much fun it was, he found it to be absolutely necessary. It was such a great addition to the wedding and we are so lucky to have found Drew and his company. Thank you so much Cornerstone Entertainment!!!! The wedding wouldn't have been the same without your services and kind service.
Rheba did an amazing job with my wedding and Drew was easy to work with and very professional. I highly recommend them for any event :)
Drew with Cornerstone Entertainment worked hard to make sure our day had the perfect soundtrack and Emcee!
He helped us pick out music and organize a schedule over the phone and day of was always checking in to make sure everything was going smoothly. He was a fantastic Emcee for us, we didn't want it to be a big production but he blended introduction and announcements perfectly.
We were originally planned to have another DJ in his group for our big day, but when something fell through he was right there stepping up!
Thank you Drew!
Drew and his wife were awesome!
They played some sweet tunes and everyone boogied pretty good through the night. Leading up to the wedding, Drew was easy to communicate with and understood what we wanted from our DJ.
To top it all off, they even gave us a really thoughtful congratulatory card before they left for the evening!
We had a great experience booking Drew as our wedding DJ. He is extremely organized and great at keeping the lines of communication open. Once booked, he gets to work immediately planning every detail regarding his services so that everything runs smoothly on the day of the event. He takes the time to really get to know the couple and get a feel for their musical tastes. This, combined and his great skill as a DJ and reading the crowd, kept the dance floor completely FULL for our entire reception. Above all, this is what we loved the most.
Drew was very flexible when coordinating the equipment setup. We had a rather remote venue with a number of cabling constraints, but he was on top of everything and asked a lot of questions so that he was able to run everything like clockwork on a rather hectic day. He showed up early, stayed late, and was 100% professional for the entire process. You won't be disappointed choosing Cornerstone!
Drew and Rheba were perfect! We were very specific in the music we wanted and we got exactly what we wanted. Very professional and knew exactly what to do. Made my wedding flow with ease. Thank you, highly recommend.
We hired Cornerstone Entertainment for the photo booth at our wedding at Edgewood Tahoe, and they were fantastic! Everybody had a blast with the photobooth and it definitely got a lot of use. We used the silver backdrop and it came out really well in the pictures and we even got to pick a custom design for them with our own special wording. We received all of the pictures within less than a week. Highly recommend!
My husband and I live in Colorado which makes it hard to plan a wedding in Tahoe. Not with Drew he was so involved and easy to work with. The DJ (Reba) was super sweet and truly listened to all our request and made the dance floor popping! I can't forget the photo booth... It was the life of the party! Drew and his team were so professional, kind, flexible, punctual and all around just stress free! I would recommend Cornerstone Entertainment to everyone!
We had a wonderful time working with Drew. He sent us a pocket well in advance to organize our wedding and flow. About a week before the wedding we touched base again to work out any last minute details. Drew was very personal yet professional. He was such a pleasure to work with. He was a big part of making our wedding day so amazing. He was in constant communication with one of us about any changes that needed to be made mid wedding. We had a fantastic time working with him! We even received a thank you note from him in our gifts when we opened them which was very kind and unnecessary as he was so helpful to making our day so perfect.
Working with Drew was great. Prior to the wedding, Drew was extremely professional, thoughtful, and timely. I was initially worried about how we were going to keep my wedding crowd entertained and dancing given that people were either in their late 20s/early 30s or late 60s/early 70s, but Drew made it happen! People were dancing the entire time! Go and book Drew NOW!
A brief but intense weather event changed our daughter's wedding from outdoor, to indoor, back to outdoor. In the moments leading to our final decision, Drew was calm, professional, and flexible. Drew and Karissa were able to redeploy their equipment (which is excellent), quickly providing a flawless sound system for the Pastor's message and the ceremonial music.
During the reception, Drew's planning, professionalism, and communication skills continued to shine. The smoothness in which he directed the flow of the evening was superior; from announcing the arrival of the wedding party, the meal, the toasts, cutting the cake, and first dance. And after that, he presided over a fantastic celebration with music and dance. Choose Drew and Cornerstone Entertainment. You will be more than satisfied!
Drew and his wife Karissa were our DJ's at our wedding in Tahoe. They were the best part of the wedding. They had all our guests dancing the entire night and took requests from our four year old son to our grandma. My husband and I loved that they have us fill out a questionnaire about what music we like/dislike, songs we wanted played/not played, generes we prefer, and songs for every major moment of the wedding. I had songs that are NOT common and Drew made sure to research and find them. Drew and Karissa were the reason our wedding went so smoothly. They completely took the lead when it came to announcing the appetizers, the wedding party, the dinner, cake, bouquet toss, etc. Every guest mentioned how they never had to sit there and guess what was next because the DJ's made it such a smooth process. The best part was when we got to our room and we were going through cards, they gave us a wedding card. It's little things like that that make you really appreciate people and can tell they are perfect at what they do. If we lived closer, we would have them for everything we do. Absolutely loved them!!!!
Drew is Outstanding! He met with me and my now husband before our wedding and had a great little worksheet to get us thinking about the reception and who will say what etc. He also had a fantastic song list that really helped! Drew was really understanding even when I didn't get stuff to him on time. The best part was that he was super accommodating when we had issues with getting mics for our ring ceremony. He helped make sure the sound was perfect for that. He kept us on schedule and the music was great! He knows what songs to get people dancing!
I attended a wedding in Tahoe City July 18, 2015 where Drew Kondo was the DJ. However, "DJ" falls far short of how I would describe Drew Kondo. He did an excellent job of engaging the guests and keeping everyone on there feet. He was funny and fun, while always keeping his professional personna in tact. I would definitely hire him for an event knowing that he would make it one which would not soon be forgotten. ~ Nixie Sanseverino
My husband and I got married at Kirkwood Mountain Resort in September 2014. Drew was very flexible when our outdoor plans for both the ceremony and reception became indoor plans at the last-minute due to rain and snow. He arrived very early and was set-up with time to spare. In addition to setting-up microphones for our harpist and pastor, he also equipped my keyboard and bridesmaid for a worship song we led. Drew was very punctual. He guided the events of the night and helped us stay on schedule (i.e. grand entrance, first dances, etc.). We were impressed by Drew's professionalism. Per our request, he informed the guests ahead of time that they would get the opportunity to make a toast following the bridal party and parents as well as politely yet articulately requested they keep it brief. He faded our songs for the first dance, father-daughter dance when we requested. We let Drew choose all the songs for the rest of the night (highly recommended). He played a nice variety that got all ages out on the dance floor and read the crowd well. Our dance floor wasn't large enough for the number of people dancing! We decided to extend the party 30 minutes past our planned ending time because there were so many people still there, many of whom were dancing!
Drew is absolutely amazing at his job. Picking a DJ is probably the hardest part of a wedding. If you've never heard them you really don't know what to expect, from the moment we met Drew we knew we were in good hands. He's so professional and easy going. We just got married this weekend in Placerville, CA; he drove all the way out there and didn't think twice about it. He played all the right music and just the right time. He's so great at reading the crowd and keeping everyone dancing. At one point my husband and I left the dance floor and went and mingled with some guest over in our lounge area, and every time we looked over at the dance floor there were people out there dancing and having a great time. We can't thank you enough Drew for how amazing our day turned out. We would highly recommend you to anyone who is willing to listen. Thank you again.

Drew was an awesome DJ. He did our wedding a couple weeks ago. To be perfectly honest, I had no idea how to hire a DJ. Drew patiently explained what he had, gave youtube videos, explained why it would all work out, and then quoted a price that blew everyone else out of the water.
The dancing was awesome. He killed it. He did everything we asked for, and then everything our guests asked for. Seriously, this is a great DJ.
Beforehand, he was perfect too. My wife and I didn't know what we wanted. I'm pretty sure we got into a fight in the venue in front of him when "planning." He didn't care. He told us what he needed, then delivered above and beyond.
Hire this dude.
I am delighted with Cornerstone DJ Services and could not have been more pleased. Drew worked with us on the the playlist and courteously encouraged us to trust him with some choices that did not fit ours as an over-sixty couple. What he chose fit the bill perfectly for our guests and I lost count of the number who came up to me to ask me where I'd found the DJ! His professionalism showed in his treatment of us, of the location staff and -- especially -- the guests.
