Encore Entertainment was the best part of our wedding. They were professional and met our expectations, everyone at our wedding complimented our emcee skills to keep the energy going within the party. The photographer made us feel special and took every picture we wanted. The videographer was courteous and was professional. The photo booth was extremely fun. Mark and his team are worth every penny.

We hired Encore Entertainment for one of our large annual work meetings for our fun night and they were great! Mark and his team led a Survey Says (Family Feud) game show for about 70 people and it was a huge hit. Everyone had so much fun and thoroughly enjoyed themselves! We also booked the photo booth which everyone loved. The team is professional and communicated very well throughout. If you're looking to add some entertainment and fun to a meeting/work event I highly recommend.

This vendor this a great job! They were very attentive and prompt with all of our requests, while also being very patient. My wedding went flawless due to their professionalism and I would highly recommend.

Mark and his team were incredible. Everyone was so attentive to the days leading up to our wedding day. Every question was answered and every worry we had was taken care of. Being that we are a same sex couple and had certain requests for our family because of divorce, Mark was completely understanding of it all. He made sure that everything we asked was executed to perfection. The beginning of the day with our photographer, set the tone for the rest of the day. He captured such beautiful pictures that we wouldn't have thought of taking myself. And the fact that he would show both Ashley and I pictures that he took, made us feel comfortable and trusted him to make us look as beautiful as can be. He did a wonderful job of capturing such beautiful moments throughout the whole day. Our videographer was the same way! He took such incredible shots of all of us and showed us what it looked like after the moment was over. We cannot wait to see the pictures and the video. We cannot wait to see what memorable shots they were able to get of all our loved ones. Mark was on another level. He had the DJ play the best music all night. My mother-in-law was so happy that she knew a lot of the songs being played. I know from experience that a DJ and Emcee can make or break a wedding and they MADE our wedding! Mark was amazing at coordinating all of the bridal party walking into our reception. Some of us weren't listening or had a few drinks by then but he was patient and kind with all of us. He surprised Ashley and I by have our guests play this napkin-table game with all of our tables. Our guests had a blast!! And to top it all off, he was able to get practically all of our guests on the dance floor. I have NEVER seen that much of a wedding party get out and dance. It was just amazing. He also included our nieces and nephew in the garter/bouquet toss which was such a sweet sentiment being that those kids are so important to us. Thank you so much Mark and your team for making this wedding one we will never forget. We had the best time!

11/17/2023 • Donna B

Mark and his team were wonderful to work with from start to finish. His initial presentation and attentiveness were second to none. He really tuned in to us to make sure he understood what we wanted our wedding day to be. From the music selections to the amount of interaction we wanted. We were and still are amazed at how he was able to get EVERYONE engaged and on the dance floor! His vast experience clearly came into play as he read the room perfectly. Watching the videos and the sheer joy everyone felt still makes us happy and grateful that we chose Mark and his team. It's an event we are sure our guests will never forget!

About 2 months before my wedding, I suddenly realized that I'll need wall wash and spot lights since the venue doesn't have those and it definitely NEEDS those things. I contacted several vendors, and Encore/Ultrax (Mark Klatskin) was the most responsive and knowledgeable. He recommended me to add the water vapor cloud and the photo booth, and put together a package for me that made sense financially. While this was the last vendor I chose, Mark and his photo booth attendants (2) made such a major difference on the look of the venue and the vibe of the first dance, and warmly helped the guests with the photo booth. The photo booth also took videos of guests saying congratulations. I was given a copy of each strip, as well as a flash drive with all videos and photos. I had the photo booth for the entire time (1 hr cocktail hour + 4 hr reception). Looking back, I think 2-3 hour at the end of the reception is more than enough, but it might not save you much because the main thing is them coming out. BTW when they come out to do the cloud, they are willing to do it a couple of times so your guests can enjoy stepping on the cloud, too, which was nice. I wish I had more of my guests coming out to the dance floor and the cloud. My dress was pushing all the water vapor away, so if you have a lot of twirls and pick-ups in your first dance, your picture can look a little sparse. You can't help it, it's water vapor, it will drift away with wind. Just something to note. *** the knot is not allowing me to add photos here, please see my review on weddingwire for this vendor for photos

"I wanted to take the time to say the Photo Booth was a hit yesterday! Everyone loved it so much. It was the perfect special touch to my husband's surprise 30th Birthday Celebration. He was beyond happy with the way it all turned out. Viktoria was an absolute pleasure and made sure everyone was interactive and had a great time using the booth! I will be highly recommending you guys to everyone I know." Thank you again!

10/24/2022 • Aaron F

We had an incredible experience with Encore. We used them for 2 photographers, 1 videographer, a photo booth (with attendant), a DJ, and the MC. I cannot stress enough how much easier it was to get all of those services from one vendor instead of trying to manage each of those independently. Each service that was provided was great and our reception was made SO much better because of how amazing the MC (Brandon) was. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. Definitely use Encore for your event. You will not regret it.

10/18/2022 • Gina M

We used Encore/Ultrax for our DJ/photo/video/photo booth services and loved the product! Mark Klatskin took the time and attention to incorporate our details into everything we had in mind. We were so lucky to work with him to make our dream wedding come true!!

10/17/2022 • Omaris N

I got married on September 4, 2022 and let me just say, Encore Entertainment took the guess work out of everything! The day couldn't have gone any smoother, with the help of Mark and his team. First Mark, our officiant was so professional and personable (he was also our MC), the DJ and the music selection were just perfect! Everyone at the wedding was up and dancing and having a good time! They definitely united our multicultural family :) We opted for the photo booth as well and it was so much fun - now we have even more memories from our family and friends that will cherish forever. The photographer was amazing and professional. We're even getting photo albums for us, my husbands parents and mine. There's honestly no complaints. If you're looking for a company to make your day even more special I would definitely recommend Encore Entertainment and Ultrax DJ's, like I said they took the guess work out of everything so you can enjoy your day to the max! Thanks for reading! :)

Encore Entertainment & Ultrax Disc Jockeys was a life saver! They provided services to fit all of our entertainment, photography, videography, and officiating needs. Not to mention touches like uplighting, photobooth and props, and "dancing in the clouds". Mark and his team were extremely professional, punctual, and always available to answer any questions... and quickly! Our day wouldn't have been possible without them!

10/06/2021 • Eric M

Mark and his entire team were beyond our expectations! His professionalism with us mixed with his ability to get the ENTIRE room dancing is an experience I’ve never seen! My Husband and I couldn’t have had a better wedding! Book him today!

8/02/2021 • Gabby D

They were great. My wedding was last night and everyone loved it! We had so much fun, would recommend. Easy to work with people.

11/30/2020 • Erin B

Mark and his team were fantastic! They made our event lively while ensuring all of our guests felt safe and had a great time, even while social distancing. The process of preparing for our wedding was made so simple with Mark’s availability as well as with the website he used to input all of our preferences. Thanks for helping to make our day so special!

11/02/2020 • R S

everything was perfect! thanks encore entertainment!

10/26/2020 • Jessica B

Mark and Branden worked with us through the tough planning this year, tailored the event to exactly what we wanted and needed, and the result was awesome! We had so much fun. DJ Flip kept the pace of the event and the library of song options was amazing-they played the exact versions of the songs we wanted for our entrances. Mark also married us and his choice of ceremony words could not have been more perfect.

10/21/2020 • Marion S

We were marrying off our first daughter and tensions were high. We wanted everything to be perfect. From our first meeting with Mark from Encore Entertainment & Ultrex Disc Jockeys, we knew we had the right people for all our wedding needs. From start to beautiful finish, they nailed it! Mark & co. guided us through the whole process with cheerful smile and a seamless professionalism. We couldn’t be happier with the final results. We cannot thank the folks @ Encore Entertainment & Ultrex Disc Jockeys enough for all they did to make our daughters wedding day a perfect day.

11/16/2019 • GINA G

"My husband and I saw Brandon and Flip at a friend's wedding the April before ours. We left that wedding vowing to hire those two as our DJ and Master of Ceremonies for our big day. The energy, excitement, and their ability to get EVERYONE, and I mean EVERYONE up and dancing is incredible. The music is arguably the most important big ticket item at your wedding (other than the whole sanctity of marriage, of course) and with Brandon and Flip you can't go wrong. The amount of dancing we did was insane. The songs just glided into one another seamlessly which made the dance floor full ALL NIGHT LONG. Thank You Brandon & Flip!” Gina & Zach’s Wedding At Bast Brothers

11/08/2019 • Emily G

Where to even begin! Encore Entertainment was the best decision I could have made for my wedding day! They made the planning process as stress-free as possible. From my initial meeting with Mark, to the end of my reception, they were so professional and attentive. I used Encore Entertainment for my DJ, MC, Photography and Photobooth, and they did not disappoint! My photographer, Joelle was so creative and fun! She really listened to me about the style of photos I wanted, and she kept the morning of my wedding so organized and efficient! She was even willing to take pictures down at the floating docks with us in the rain- such a trooper!!! My DJ was amazing and played all the music I asked for. Even more importantly, he did NOT play the songs I asked him NOT to play!!! My MC was Brandon. Brandon was absolutely, hands-down, the reason my reception was such a hit! He had EVERY SINGLE ONE OF MY GUESTS on the dancefloor. It was truly something special. He was professional and considerate throughout the whole planning process and really paid attention to the flow of the evening. The photobooth was such an amazing addition to my wedding night! Viktoria was simply amazing and flexible with me to add in my own logo at the bottom of the photo strips. I would recommend EVERYONE to use Encore Entertainment for any and all events in the future!

11/02/2019 • Jodi V

We hired Encore Entertainment for our son’s wedding and cannot say enough good things about their services. We used their Emcee, DJ, and photographer. Mark was an AMAZING emcee; he was full of energy and had everyone up and dancing all night. He was right in the middle of the action engaging constantly with our guests. Our photographer, Steve, was amazing as well. He took so many fabulous pictures throughout the day. The entire organization is extremely professional, easy to work with, and was responsive to all of our questions. Mark told us from the beginning that he knew how to make our son’s wedding day special and alleviate all the stress from us. He did exactly that and we had the time of our lives!!! I HIGHLY recommend Encore Entertainment!!!

10/18/2019 • Travis V

I got married in October of 2019, and my wife and I were very pleased with Encore Entertainment. We hired a photographer, DJ, and emcee. The photographer was very flexible with our busy schedules the day of the wedding and was able to get some very beautiful photos. He also got some killer photos on the dance floor throughout the duration of the reception. The DJ was great in playing a wide variety of music that catered to everyone's interest. Mark, our emcee, was absolutely amazing. He was able to get EVERYONE up out of their seats dancing by incorporating a variety of fun dancing games. I was approached by several guests that complimented the abilities of our emcee. I was also told by many guests that this was the best wedding reception that they have ever attended. I highly recommend this company for your event.

10/18/2019 • Shannon M

We used Encore Entertainment for our DJ/ photographer/ videographer and photo booth. We LOVED everything they did. Our photographers were there all day and got every single shoot we wanted. Our pictures are BEAUTIFUL and we are beyond happy with them. Our videographers captured every moment but was never overbearing or in anyone's way. I cannot wait to see what he will have put together of our magical day. Flip was our DJ and he was AMAZING! The dance floor was NEVER empty. From beginning to end, he had the dance floor packed! We received SO many complements regarding our music and DJ. The photo booth attendants were busy all night and put together a perfect book for my husband and I. I would 100% recommend Encore to anyone. They worked around our budget and were extremely accommodating!

9/30/2019 • Rachel H

We hired Encore/Ultrax for photography, photo booth, and DJ and emcee services, and everything was simply perfect! Below are our highlights: -Viktoria's exceptional customer service from booking through the big day. We never waited more than a few hours for a return email answering any question we had. -The professionalism and kindness we experienced from our photographers, Jason and Evelyn. They were so good at taking candid shots, we forgot they were there, at times! There are so many gorgeous shots I didn't even know they had gotten, which was a great surprise when I saw my photos. They did such a wonderful job and we are so happy with our photos. They were so kind and they made us feel at ease, which made me feel so much more natural in front of the camera (which I usually don't!), so they pictures were even better than I had hoped for. -Our emcee, Brandon, was incredible, and we could not have been happier! The process of choosing our music was simple and efficient, and he gave us input that made our evening really special (such as doing an anniversary dance). He had everyone on the dance floor all night and played music that got everyone involved. There wasn't a dull moment. I received SO many compliments on him. (I also loved that our photo booth operator gave us an album and he and Brandon danced with the guests, it added to the fun!) Brandon even checked in with individual guests to make sure they were having a good time. Talk about a great emcee! I can't say enough about the DJ and emcee services. -Everyone was so professional and knew just what to do to make us feel like we were getting a personalized experience while understanding that on the big day, the bride and groom don't have a whole lot of time to answer questions! They knew exactly what we wanted and they delivered! It was also extremely efficient being able to hire photographers, photo booths, and DJ services from the same company. I would recommend this company in a heartbeat.

I used Encore Entertainment for my wedding for photography, videography, dj, and MC. They did an amazing job! Mark and his team are very knowledgeable and extremely nice to work with. Their customer service is quick and they listen to your questions and needs. All of the staff at Encore has been great to work with. Day of the wedding everything was amazing and stress free. I highly recommend them!

11/01/2018 • Darence R

The team at Encore Entertainment – simply put were superb. My wedding was the best day of my life – and NOTHING went wrong. Literally NOTHING. Encore Entertainment was Perfection. While me and my husband loved everything, they’ve done – we were shocked to hear how many of my guests were actually impressed with them. My family constantly commented on how fun the photographer was. The videographers got many kudos for how discreet and detailed they were. Of course, EVERYONE in my family were most impressed with Mark. He’s truly gifted in the way he got everyone on their feet. Mark was delicate without being overbearing but had great presence which made the crowd just enjoy him 100%. Encore Entertainment made our special day a dream come true. They’ve shown patience, commitment, and passion. By no means were they interested in just “getting it over with”. It was a true collaborative effort and they went above and beyond. Thank you to EVERYONE with Encore Entertainment.

10/24/2018 • Justin D

From the beginning Mark Klatskin and his team were very clear and concise about the processes involved in coordinating as many services as we required and made each one very easy to accomplish using web based systems(such as their Dj and Event Planners) along with constantly being available for our needs. Not only were we in contact with Mark, his team also contacted us individually to discuss details we would never have thought about taking into account to make our day just that much more amazing. On the day of our event the photographers(Steve and Chris)and our videographer(Dennis)were with us from 10 am until our final dance. Our DJ (DJ Flip) and our MC (Eric)showed their abilities to read a room and kept the energy high when needed and gave us the spotlight during our formalities. Having a photo booth proved to be a hit with everyone in attendance. Our operator (Viki) was very attentive to all of our guests making sure they left video messages, took photos home with them and informed them of the many other features of the booth like the ability to text, Email and upload photos to Facebook. All in all Encore Entertainment exceeded all of our expectations and would highly recommend them for any type of event!! Justin and Jamie Daugherty Crystal Point Yacht club 9/28/18

“We want to thank everyone who helped make our wedding date special and memorable. From the beginning to end it was such a smooth transaction. Encore entertainment, one source for all really made it easy in booking our DJ, Photographer, and Photo Booth. Brandon and DJ Flip hyped up the crown, facilitated the wedding in accordance with the schedule. DJ Flip played a clip in sync with my husband’s speech that was not pre-planned and made the speech even better. That just shows the skills he has as a DJ. Brandon showed professionalism from coordinating to executing, really made the party hyped and fun as he had promised. Our photographer Steve gave really good suggestions for poses and went by the schedule as planned. I know everyone enjoyed the Photo Booth and the photo album made by Justin was amazing. Our friends had highly recommended Brandon and DJ Flip, we can now say the same. We wish you all more success and will defiantly recommend you to everyone. Thank You all for your hard work in making our day spectacular.” Anni & Howard Yang (Anni & Howard) Hilton Garden Inn Staten Island, September 09, 2018

Working with Mark and his team was an absolute pleasure. They made everything incredibly easy and answered every single one of the dozens of questions we had along the way. We couldn't put a price on having Mark there to run the show and not having to worry about a thing during our reception. His team was incredibly professional, the photographers and video crew showed up early, everything was set and ready to go at our reception with the photo booth and entertainment setup, and Mark MC'd the entire event from start to finish. All of Mark's team knew each other and had worked together before, and it showed as the night couldn't have gone more smoothly. Every one of our guests had an absolute blast. Mark and his team mad our Wedding Night one we won't ever forget!

10/17/2018 • Esti M

Wow, what am Amazing Job. Dave and I were sooooo pleased with everyone. Everyone was fantastic. Brandon was a pleasure to speak with on the phone and day of, PHENOMENAL job. Everyone was up and dancing. The whole crew did so good and we also recommended ENCORE Entertainment to a number of people. We are over joyed with how perfect the day was with the DJ and Photography. Paul was FANTASTIC as well. Right on time, and so helpful with all the pictures. It was so much fun. The whole team was so Excellent and their passions for what they do really just shined and made our perfect day. Thank You So Muc

5/26/2018 • Nicole V

Our wedding was in January and it couldn't have gone any better thanks to Encore! They provided our photography, videography,photobooth, and Mark was also our Officient for the ceremony! They truly made us feel like family and truly went out of there way to make it the best day ever. Every single person at our wedding said it was the most fun they have had in a long time. There was the perfect balance of intimacy and fun. I would recommend Encore to anybody who is looking for an amazing wedding or party! The photographer and videographer did an amazing job! And most of the time we didn't even know they were there.

5/17/2018 • Lauren H

Mark and his crew were absolutely phenomenal! From day one he was so easy to work with and really made the planning process so much easier for us. Our wedding was two weeks ago and we are still getting compliments on how great the music was! They played everything we wanted and went above and beyond our expectations. Our photographer Steve was also amazing, he captured every moment perfectly, and our pictures are beautiful! We are beyond greatful!

5/15/2018 • Stephanie M

Our photographer, Jason was great! He actually arrived early to start photos while I was still getting my makeup done, and he & Evelyn made us feel so comfortable all day! They gave us great ideas for photos. He made us feel very comfortable and I didn't even notice him half the night! Evelyn was there the whole time making sure our photos were going to be perfect. Mitch our videographer was there to capture every moment of the day! Oh! And of course Justin at the Photobooth was great! I love our album with everyone's photos and it was so great to see everyone having a great time! The Turkey Hat at The Photobooth was a huge hit! Encore Entertainment ran like a well-oiled machine!

5/10/2018 • Krystle A

We used Encore Entertainment for our wedding on Saturday, May 5. We arranged everything with Mark and filled out the required forms online. We had a photographer, videographer, MC, DJ, and photo booth. He worked with our budget without a problem. Everything went smoothly! The photographer was with us the entire day and was excellent. The videographer met us at the church. Everyone had a blast with the photo booth at the reception. And we received LOTS of complements on the MC and DJ. A friend is getting married next year and asked for your information. Highly recommend their services. I can't wait to see our pictures and video!

4/29/2018 • Laura M

While I did not have any problems with the company itself (the owner, Mark, was very responsive and helpful), we were severely disappointed with our DJ Moe. Despite giving him very specific directions for the day, he forgot to do nearly half the things on the list and I (the bride!) had to constantly remind him to do things when I should have been enjoying the reception with my guests. Several events were very poorly timed, with the Anniversary Dance and Centerpiece Giveaway occurring after guests had already begun to leave. The music selection was very strange at times. And I was shocked and upset when, toward the end of the night, he decided to play our FIRST DANCE SONG (Perfect by Ed Sheeran) set to some ridiculous clubbing beat! That was a sentimental song shared between my now-husband and I, and I still can't understand who in their right mind would do something like that. I immediately told him to change the song and he did. If you do decide to work with this company, make sure to get reviews of the specific DJ you will have at your event. I will give the company 3 stars because I enjoyed working with Mark (the owner) prior to the event, and because my guests did do quite a lot of dancing at the reception and enjoyed themselves.

4/23/2018 • Kim B

Mark ,Brandon and their team were beyond wonderful for my daughter’s wedding (Summer ‘17) I met with them ahead of time because the bride & groom live in Florida and they helped ease the nerves of all of us for things to go smoothly. They listened to every detail we said from the ceremony to the cocktail hour through to the last song played. We didn’t want the night to end. They even did the pictures. One stop shop and did it ALL with 100% satisfaction. Thank you for helping make their day so wonderful! Kimberly Badessa (Mother Of The Bride) Kelly & Greg's Wedding July 30, 2017

I just wanted to let you know that your team was FANTASTIC at my wedding on April 7th! I can’t even begin to say enough great things like I mean literally everything was amazing! Brandon and the DJ were incredible! We had so many people asking for their name and a couple people said they won’t get married unless they are there! They had everyone dancing even people I never would have expected! Dennis and Steven were also fantastic and it was clear that they clearly loved their jobs! For having never met them I was instantly comfortable! Even the lighting and photo booth guy were so nice and helpful! They truly made my wedding amazing and I am so glad they were there with us! They were just as happy and excited as we were and I do not know how we would have done it without them. Seriously I cannot say enough amazing things! Thank you thank you thank you and thank you again!!!!! Ahnnalisa & Jason April 7th, 2018

Mark and his team are absolutely amazing. I actually did event planning in college and have worked with many, many DJs. He and his team is by far one of the best. They did a great job working with us on the schedule and song selections, giving us great advice and options. During the reception, they were energetic enough to break the ice and get people involved without being cheesy. We did the MC with the DJ. We did the entire wedding ourselves and hosted at my wife's parents house. Because we had the MC I wasn't left having to coordinate anything. Mark was able to walk over and gather the bridal party from pictures and line everyone up and prep them, cue the DJ to start the music while he was there to cue the entrance to the reception. He was able to walk around and find the caterer and photographer when they were ready to start dinner, or dances, or cake cutting. While I'm sure a single DJ would be able to coordinate with the other vendors and keep to the flow of events, I'm not sure how any single DJ would be able to do all the wrangling that is necessary to completely run the event. Mark got people moving and eventually got them onto the dance floor. We have gotten multiple people come up to us or my Mother in law and say how amazing of a DJ we had, that they don't typically dance at weddings but they were moving and grooving at ours. As far as communication, Mark was always a phone call away walking through our plan then answering any questions we had. He met all the vendors that showed up before I even got to introduce them and when I spoke with our photographer and caterer they both told me don't worry we are working directly with Mark. I guess in the end I would say I have complete confidence that Encore Entertainment will make your wedding day magical and help you every step of the way in the planning.

Eric and Mark were great to work with! Eric was energetic, engaging , social and had us on the dance floor all night - we will definitely be reaching out to him when planning our vow renewals :) . Our pictures came out beautiful , we received many compliments on our key shots. The wedding album is gorgeous too. Thank you for making our big day extremely memorable!

We just got married on July 21, 2017 and the whole day and night was exactly how was pictured! We used Encore Entertainment for their photography and for the DJ service and I'm glad we chose them! The reception was a blast and nearly everyone was on the dance floor dancing the whole night. Mark and his team are amazing!!!

We recently hired Encore Entertainment for our wedding in early June and were extremely happy with our choice. Being a military couple, we did not have the chance to meet the team before hand or select much music, but it didn't matter. The crew was able to easily adapt to the atmosphere and attitude of our guests and fun was had by all. The DJ (Henry) & Emcee (Brandon) ensured EVERY SINGLE PERSON made it to the dance floor including all the grandparents and young ones. They truly had a talent for getting everyone involved without being forceful or awkward. So many memories from the big day were created with their oversight, assistance, and professionalism. 100% would use again and recommend for any event. Thanks ENCORE!

I am about 6 months late in doing this but wanted to write expressing our gratitude for the DJ services provided for our 2016 wedding. From start to finish things ran smooth and efficient. From my very first time speaking to Mark regarding booking I knew we made the right decision. He gave me all the information I needed to quickly make our decision to book, I felt like he was honest and clear the whole way through. Fast forward a few months, we started using the online planning tool they offer to couples, we were able to choose basically a majority of our reception playlist, we were even able to make a "do not play" list which did come in handy. You could also pick songs for the ceremony, entrance songs, specialty dances, cake cutting, etc. Their online music library has everything you could imagine. As the wedding got closer our MC Eric called to go over our selections and a general idea for how the day would go. That really put my mind at ease! The night of our Wedding I didn’t have to worry about anything, our ceremony music went off without a hitch. After the ceremony Eric gathered up the Bridal party and gave us the rundown of how entrances would work for the reception, and once again everything ran smoothly. The Reception was AMAZING. People are still raving about "Our DJ’s" they (and we) loved the music selection and mix, Luis our DJ did a great job of mixing the variety of song choices up, we wanted a party and that’s exactly what he gave us! Eric our Emcee was amazing as well, he has such a great spirit and personality, people were really drawn to him. He kept the night going until the very last song. We look back at our Wedding and agree that it was the best and most fun night of our lives, we are giving credit to our music crew because without them it wouldn’t have been all that it was!! Thank you all again! Mr. & Mrs. Jillian & Dhafir Williams Wedding At The Windsor Ballroom September 9, 2016

We were completely satisfied with the services provided! Mark and the staff were attentive and professional from start to finish, true experts! They did something no one at the wedding had ever seen, they managed to get the ENTIRE party up on their feet and on the dance floor at the same time! It was a magical night for us and it wouldn't have been possible without the help of encore entertainment.

Encore Entertainment is a very fun, energetic, and professional company. Despite personal situations involving his family, Mark was still able to maintain his professionalism and his commitment to our wedding. He voiced to us how much he loves his job and what it means to him, and that was what he showed us. During our wedding he was very energetic without being overbearing as some MCs might come off as. He got all of our guests moving on the dance floor, which was an amazing sight to see! We still to this day are being told by our guests how much fun they had! Thank you Encore Entertainment for making our wedding so much fun!

Thank you for making my daughter's wedding so amazing. I can't express how happy we are with you, your staff, service and prompt attention to every single detail. We got so many compliments on how you kept everyone dancing and what an amazing time everyone had. Everyone had a great thing to say! I look forward to working with you again soon. Thanks again for everything and I will definitely be recommending you to anyone planning a wedding/event. You're the best!! Erica (mom of the bride)

Encore entertainment was by far the best DJ/entertainment I have ever had. My husband and I enjoyed the most important day of our lives because of Mark and everyone else who came to help him. They made sure me and my husband had everything we ever wanted and that everything went smoothly and perfectly. Their service was amazing and they were all professional and really knew how to get the crowd moving and having fun. Thanks to everyone from Encore my day was amazing and I wouldn't recommend any other DJ/Entertainment service! I also had the photo booth which was a huge hit! Everyone loved that and even better that my husband and I got a whole photo album of everyones pictures and notes to us; something myself and everyone else enjoyed that day.

“The entire night was one big happy memory! The professionalism of the staff and the ability to understand the client made working with Encore Entertainment easy and an excellent value. The videos are wonderful. Excellent job! I must tell you that everyone really liked the video, they were impressed and it even had my mother in tears (tears of joy). The special effects were just right and not tacky or dated. I especially like the recap at the end of the video and then the lead into the honeymoon. Thanks Again.” - Lisa and Richard Freeman’s Wedding Reception, At One Atlantic

“I want to thank you again for the marvelous entertainment provided by you and your team at my wedding last Friday (5/22/15) at the Washington Crossing Inn! The ceremony music was perfect--I loved how we interjected "Since You've Asked" in the middle of the ceremony. And you certainly got everyone up and dancing at the reception. Many guests complimented your work! Thanks, also for keeping us on schedule as each portion of the wedding unfolded. It's easy to get wrapped up in chatting with people you haven't seen in a while. And the Photo Booth was a HUGE hit! Patrick did a great job instructing guests and putting our book together. All in all, I was extremely pleased with the entire day's events! I will be sure to pass all of this info along to Jane & Rachael at the Washington Crossing Inn. Thanks again, and take care!” Pat and Brian Hausner Wedding At: The Washington Crossing Inn May 22, 2015

Get everything in writing! He made us think we were an important client but when it came down to it, he'd constantly make up excuses. He was misleading me into thinking I was getting a big discount, when I've now come to find out that their prices are higher than other vendors to begin with. This lesson was learned the hard way and hopefully this helps other brides think twice before so that they do not have to have the same negative experience.

We feel so fortunate to have had Encore Entertainment for our wedding! Right from the start, they were very aware of what we wanted and envisioned for our wedding. They were professional and reliable. They answered emails promptly and were very willing to meet in person to discuss details.The passion for music, technology and sound was apparent right off the bat. Mark and his team's enthusiasm was magnetic and they gained our trust immediately. The online music database and planning forms are amazing tools that will take all your stress away! In regards to the performance on our wedding day…The dj and the MC were phenomenal!! To start, the timing was spot on. The MC was an excellent MC for the introductions and announcements throughout the night as well as getting the guests up and moving! And as far as the music, the DJ killed it! He kept the dance floor PACKED all night!! Our guests ranged from ages 5-90 and each and every person was up and dancing. Thanks to the great teamwork, we continue to get rave reviews from guests about the awesome music and great time they had. They made us feel relaxed and confident in their abilities.They set up dance floor lighting which was a great addition to the dance party! If you are looking for a fun, classy, great time with the best music, then choose Encore Entertainment! You will not regret it!!!

Ultrax Disc Jockeys are the best around. Mark Klaxtin and his staff are true professionals and superbly talented. They do the leg work for you in anticipating your needs for your particular venue which is HUGE for a bride trying to figure out logistics. Mark is very down to earth to the point that you feel like he is a friend helping you plan your entertainment as opposed to a vendor just trying to sell. My videos were perfect and my wedding guests said that I had the best DJ. (DJ Flip ) that they ever heard at a wedding

We hired Ultrax to provide a photobooth for our reception, and we are so glad we did! We had Corey man the booth, and he was so fun and a perfect person to have to get our guests excited to don the props and take silly pictures! The photobooth is definitely the best around. I loved how you could print a third photo strip, print a large photo, and everything printed so quickly! We also got an amazing scrapbook with all the photo strips from the evening, which the guests could sign. We still get a kick out of looking at it! If you want an awesome photobooth for your wedding, go with Ultrax! Also, if you want an awesome person in charge of said booth, go with Corey!

We used Encore as our DJ and had them do our ceremony music. We also got the Photobooth. Our guests were always on the dance floor and loved the photobooth.

We used Encore Entertainment for our Photography, DJ, & Mark was our Officiate and our MC. Mark did a stunning job on our ceremony. It was like a dream come true. Everything was perfect and exactly how we both wanted it. Our Photographers where fun and easy to work with. We can't wait to see all our pictures. Our DJ & Mark were both amazing. I've been getting nothing but compliments on our reception. Mark got everyone up and moving early on (I'm talking every single person there) & Kept everyone dancing. I danced so much the night of our wedding that my legs hurt for 4 days and I don't usually dance. I even had people trying to book him that night for their weddings. Encore entertainment is well worth the money if you want your reception or party to be a hit! We went to a wedding 2 weeks later and the father of the bride & his girlfriend were talking about our wedding all night. Thank you Mark!!

Dennis was excellent. He was there from beginning to end. He captured everything from interviews, the ceremony, the dance battle, he didnt miss a beat. He coached us on some poses to do and the unedited video was very entertaining to watch. i felt like i didnt miss one part of the ceremony before i came out. He was a pleasure to work with and such a friendly person and brought a great feeling to our wedding. We also used Encore for their photobooth service. We thought having a photobooth would be an excellent way to help capture our guests enjoying themselves and leaving us wonderful memories and messages. This photobooth was perfect and everyone enjoyed it. Only wish the serviceman would have informed the guest they could have uploaded their pictures to facebook right there and then, which would have been awesome since few to no other photobooth do live time. Also many poeple didnt know they cld record a video. But despite the lack of knowledge the photobooth was awesome and people enjoyed it. It was fun to see and hear the messages and videos that were left. The props made it even better. A photobooth is definitely a must

The DJ was awesome, made sure everyone's names were right and everything happened just as I wanted. The photographs came out amazing despite the rainy weather and my photographs were ready view when we got back from our honeymoon!

I used Ultrax DJ's for my wedding photobooth. After booking, they were hard to get in touch with and took days to return emails the week before the wedding, when I was trying to confirm everything. Luckily it all worked out in the end. The photobooth was a big hit, there was always a line for it! The attendants were very friendly and helpful, and I love all the pictures we got from it. The scrapbook is a great way to hold all the memories!

Lauren did an excellent job at our wedding. She felt more like a guest then a vendor. Great job!

I chose this vendor for entertainment/music for both my ceremony and reception. I enjoyed working with Mark Kastkind, he seemed generally interested in providing a good service. There were a few glitches but nothing significant. Overall they created a beautiful day complete with beautiful photo montages.
