Loved working with DEC!! Bryce Bedah (DJ Aesthetic) was our DJ and he was incredible. He kept the dance floor full the whole night, and was also super friendly and easy to work with! We really let him have creative control and it was the right choice, he KILLED it!! If you’re looking for a DJ for any event, Bryce is awesome!
When the Detroit Event Company says, the best entertainment, period- they MEAN it! We had Dorohn as our pianist during the cocktail hour and dinner and he was absolutely incredible. He truly created the perfect ambiance we were looking for and guests really enjoyed his music! We had a wedding planner for all logistics, but my understanding is that all the booking and operations during the wedding went flawlessly. Thank you!!
We booked our band (SpaceCat) and photobooth through the Detroit Event Company. Our band was reasonably priced and exceeded all expectations! The photobooth was a late add on, which our guests loved!
Matt Rappaport was communicative and accommodating, and we appreciated his insight as we were planning a wedding from out-of-state!
The Detroit Event Company were extremely professional in setting up our event for 350 people. Communication was outstanding, all loose ends were thought of and tied up. They helped us identify Stiletto Fire as the ideal band suited for our type of event and the band was perfect from their image, to their music to their flexibility in making our event a huge success.
Our event ran seamlessly and we can recommend the Detroit Event Company.
Hiring this company will be the best decision you will make throughout your wedding planning process. I am not joking. The BEST. From day one, Matt and Sarah were awesome to work with and really did a good job of customizing the evening for my husband and I. Matt and Sarah also provided us with some wedding day tips which was cute and shows how much they care about making this the best night for us. Matt was extremely organized and attentive throughout the planning process which really made us feel at ease and like the band/music was one less thing we had to worry about.
We originally just hired them for the 8 piece band, but ended up adding on the horn section and the live ceremony music. We were extremely happy with both of these choices and would highly recommend you do the same. I promise, it is WORTH it.
We have not stopped receiving compliments on Collision Six. We were at a family members wedding this past weekend and our family kept telling us how great OUR band was! They did a great job of keeping the dance floor packed all night, and even gave us a surprise special moment at the end of the night where they had everyone gather around us and sing seasons of love to cap off the most amazing night. Overall, Collision Six made our wedding the best night of our lives.
P.s. there is no band around that has vocals like these guys!
Attention to detail and so, SO very fun to work with! Matt Rappaport and his staff were very attentive to our needs, and accessible through the whole planning process. I did not have to reach out to Matt with questions - as he planned meetings and calls with me to make sure we were comfortable with our band, our event timeline, our playlist, our set-up, our everything. Our guests had a fantastic time!
Having Collision Six as our wedding band was one of the VERY best decision we made. The energy from the moment we entered the reception to the last song was truly outstanding. They kept our guests on the dance floor ALL night, made the whole event feel truly personalized to us and blew us all away with their talent! We continue to get so many compliments such as, "best band we've ever heard at a wedding" to "they absolutely killed it!" Definitely the best Detroit Event Company out there!!
Not only were they the VERY best performers, they were the most organized vendor we had! They made the whole process so easy. From speaking with us about the vibe of our wedding to reviewing our detailed song preferences to ensuring they could pronounce everyone in the wedding parties name properly, they addressed all details without even being asked and made us feel confident that they would make our wedding an absolute blast. Matt was also an outstandingly professional MC which was just icing on the cake.
After the wedding they also posted photos and videos of the event which was awesome to reflect on the day after! I don't typically write reviews but with a band this good, it's worth sharing! Can't say Thank You enough, Collision Six!!
Collision Six and the Detroit Event Company was such an amazing band for our wedding! They were actually much more than a band, and helped us with a lot of the wedding planning and flow of our whole reception. They made it so stress free and enjoyable! It was so helpful to have such organized meetings scheduled with them before, and also a week of wedding phone call to go over any last minute detail. The whole process couldn't have been better! Not only were they organized, helpful, and easy to talk with, but they are also an AMAZING band! Our dance floor was packed the whole night and so many people commented on how great they were. Definitely one of the best parts of our wedding reception!
Collision Six is the best wedding band EVER and Detroit Event Company went above and beyond to make our entire wedding weekend a dream! From the moment we started planning with DEC, they were incredible. We decided very last minute that we wanted to have live music at our rehearsal dinner and they had an incredible guitarist, Jeremy St. John, ready to perform to give the evening the perfect finishing touch! At our reception, Collision Six started and BAM, the dance floor was packed and it stayed that way until the lights turned on! They brought such an incredible energy to the room and made it feel like a truly special and unique show that was created just for our special day. But before we even got to our wedding day, Matt and Sarah met with us to make sure that they understood our vision, talked us through everything to make sure we were comfortable, and left us with some of the best advice that I will be forever thankful for. This incredible team of musicians helped us to create a party above my wildest expectations that we will remember forever, and they have created some MAJOR fans for life!! My husband and I love Collision Six and Detroit Event Company and we cannot thank them enough for going above and beyond to make our wedding absolute perfection!
My husband and I first heard Collision Six at my brother’s wedding in 2015. They were amazing and the atmosphere they created was spectacular; we knew we wanted them at our wedding, no matter what the cost. When we finally set a date, Collision Six was the first contact I made. We chose to get married on a Wednesday and the band was more than willing to make a trip to Toledo on a weekday. Matt was beyond helpful. When we didn’t know what to do for our reception entrance, he helped us come up with an idea. When I wasn’t sure if we would get a photographer because of financial reasons, he went out of his way to talk to a photographer he knew that would be willing to take pictures for a lower rate. He also had great suggestions, my favorite suggestion being that the band play my brother and sister-in-law’s song from their first dance at their wedding (which was a song the band learned specifically for their wedding and hadn’t played since). My sister-in-laws reaction was priceless when Matt did a shout out to them and they heard their song. Matt’s communication throughout the entire planning and on the wedding day was more than I could ask for. For every little mishap, Matt and Sarah were there to help – whether it be getting me contact solution because my contact fell out or holding off speech introductions because the maid of honor needed an extra minute. Collision Six is so much more than just a band; they truly want your day to be special and are willing to help in any way to make that happen
My husband and I had a wonderful experience with working with Matt Rappaport. After Matt heard what our criteria was for our wedding and budget, he connected us to Derrick Castenholz of DJDC Productions and the coordination with everything was very smooth. Highly recommend working with Matt if you are in need of entertainment for a wedding or party!
It goes without saying that hiring well-organized, flexible vendors is key to making any event a success. This was my expectation when beginning to work with Detroit Event Company, but they blew all expectations out of the water. From start to finish, they displayed incredible organizational skills and keen attention to every detail while maintaining a positive, cheerful attitude.
I've had the pleasure of working with the Detroit Event Company on many different events and they are consistently a pleasure to work with. In the highly stressful, fast-paced world of planning an event, they know how to deliver the highest-end products while maintaining incredible organization and a positive mentality.
I cannot recommend the Detroit Event Company enough to anyone who wants a perfect event and a perfect planning experience! They are truly a cut above the rest.
Matt and Chris with Detroit Event Company were amazing. Out of all the vendors we used for our wedding, they were the most organized and professional. They made sure they were on top of every detail and they made the day run really smoothly. We had so much fun, and we were at ease knowing they were running the show. We highly recommend them!
Ever since my husband and I found out that we were pregnant, we knew that we wanted to have an untraditional baby shower.
I contacted Matt from the Detroit Event Company to touch base on the perfect entertainment piece for our shower. I knew Matt from working with him several years ago as the band leader at the "still talked about to this day" wedding band. But for real, we had to extended our wedding an hour because we had 100 people still dancing at 12:30AM and needed to go closer to 2AM.
Matt connected us with the perfect acoustic guitarist for our "baby is brewing shower" and validated our choice of photo booth for our event.
Matt and his team are professional, but more importantly personable. I know when I am talking to Matt that I have his full attention and that I can really get the quality of service that I expect.
I would highly suggest working with the Detroit Event Company, you won't regret it!
Detroit Event Company handled our booking of Cosmic Groove - one of the fabulous bands they have in their roster. Matt was professional and poised, and the band set up promptly with their own equipment. I barely had to do a thing! The crowd enjoyed the performance immensely & I have every intention of booking again in the future should I ever have another need for a live band. Matt is a fantastic resource to have!
Working with Matt from Detroit Event Company for our event entertainment could not have been easier. The process was seamless from our initial contact through the follow-up after the event. He responded to all our questions promptly and thoroughly with enthusiasm and genuine interest to make sure we had the best music for our needs.
He gave us several music acts to choose from, all of which were great options. We felt very confident with our final selection, Cosmic Groove Trio.
Previously, with other suppliers, we never had an opportunity to discuss specifics relative to entertainment. With Detroit Event Company, we really appreciated being able to meet with Matt face-to-face to go over all the details a few weeks before the event including things we never would have thought of. We even had a chance to discuss the particulars directly with the band contact a few days ahead of time. The night of the event, we were able to focus on hosting our guests without having to worry about any glitches with the entertainment. The attention to detail ahead of time made a huge difference!
Matt really made sure we were happy every step of the way. I can confidently recommend Detroit Event Company and the acts they represent. You will not be disappointed!
Matt and Stiletto Fire are super professional, communicative, and an overall awesome band. They were the perfect fit for our wedding and we would recommend them to anyone.
