Encore Events

tions were always engaging , communications streamlined, online portal user friendly, and the overall experience purely fun. We highly recommend working with Encore and can't thank the team enough!

ter meeting with him we knew Encore was going to be a good fit. And we liked Mikey so much we asked if he would be our DJ for the wedding! This guy is an angel. He was on top of all communication and answered all of my questions promptly. There were a couple of anxious moments leading up to the wedding where Mikey would call me just to reassure me that everything was going to be great. He was right! Encore is on top of their customer service like no other. They have a planning portal that makes life so much easier and automated check in emails to make sure you don’t miss a beat. Our photobooth dude Wes was the man. The photobooth was the best and now we have a digital album of all of our guests fun photo opps. So much fun! Holly, our videographer, was the sweetest coolest chick and followed us everywhere we went. You almost forgot she was there! She just made it easy. Mikey is definitely more than a DJ, at one point he was holding my veil for pictures and then pouring us champagne for toasts. He kept everyone on the dance floor all night and took all of our insane requests. We had the best time ever. I cannot say enough good things about these guys! ❤️ Love, Abby and Ray

h our other vendors and wedding venue to ensure everything went like clockwork. Our DJ Mickey made the night fun for everyone. He took all of our wants and needs and threaded them into a cohesive, super fun night. In addition to Encore’s DJ services, we booked a Photo Booth and a videographer. The Photo Booth was a hit and produced high quality photos for all our guests to take home. We got to work with Encore to create a custom overlay to make the photos a perfect part of our wedding aesthetic. We received a link to digital copies of all the photos a few days after wedding and they were epic. The videographer was no exception to Encore’s high standards. He knew exactly what to look and ask for to get perfect shots. Encore Events knows how to put a wedding together from start to finish! I can’t recommend them highly enough.

hen it came to planning and picking songs. I cannot recommend Encore Events enough, you would be crazy to not choose them for your next event!

not play") songs as you think of them. Kendrick created custom mixes for our special dances and accomodated our song and playlist requests. On the day of our wedding, Kendrick not only provided fantastic music, but also served as the perfect emcee and reorganized our timeline when we started to run late. This made such a difference in allowing us to enjoy our day with no worries. We knew Kendrick and our photographer had it under control so we were free to have fun! Thank you Encore Events!

our guests throughout the night! Thank you Rich and your team at Encore!

efinitely turn our wedding up a notch! And the Photo Booth was SO MUCH FUN! Keep up the great work and we hope everyone loves y’all. Thank you again for all the memories!

ll not regret it!!!!

will recommend him to everyone we know who needs a DJ. Thank you so much, Mikey!

ar was great, everything on financials and choices was very clear, and the planning portal was super helpful. We'd highly recommend using the portal for planning - it helped us get our heads around timing and gave us ideas for music choices. The team checked in a number of times with us in advance and John met with us to cover all the details a month ahead of time, even with a last minute request for a music stand for our officiant. We opted for a few extras that were well worth it - cold sparklers inside and outside and uplighting for our reception. Our wedding celebration went off without a hitch - from ceremony music to the end of the night, John and his assistant, Scott were awesome! The dancefloor was packed during the later reception hours and we had an amazing time. We loved our selection of music and all the adds that John played. We had so many guest compliments - one said it the best "Wow, your DJ is the real deal!!!" We could not agree more. Thank you John for making our wedding day one we will never forget! Cheryl & Eric

which I highly recommend!!! They elevated the day for such a reasonable cost. I absolutely love Mickey and Encore as a company!!!!🤍they made our wedding everything & more

stress free. Their communication was excellent and response time was fast to any and all questions I had. They truly made sure I was stress free during my whole wedding planning process. I honestly cannot say one one bad thing. They helped to give me the best day and night of my whole life and I am so grateful <3

their pricing and process, to their DJ open houses to find the one that fits your music vibe to the actual wedding day, this was quite easily the most stress-free we felt in the planning process, especially planning from a few states away. Encore was super professional and did not hide anything from us, and even offered way more to us that we originally even considered needing for our wedding. Being able to pick our top DJs from their team during an open house was great because we got to “taste test” exactly what we wanted our of our DJ for the event. The Encore portal was super helpful when planning and it’s nice to feel extremely organized and assisted when it came to our music. We had a blast picking our formal and fun songs to be added to our must play list - definitely a highlight in the planning process. We went with DJ Mikey V and can’t recommend him enough. He was so positive, enthusiastic and helpful to us. On the day of the wedding, he showed up early to set up and make sure it was all perfect. He checked in on us and offered to grab us anything we need - definitely going above and beyond in his service. Most importantly to us, he was down for anything and everything and had a smile on his face throughout! We did a ‘ballroom blitz’ game where we raced to get pictures with every table before one song finished and we got through our entire ballroom with his energy and assistance! Last but not least, DJ Mikey V was able to blend our favorite songs and our guests favorite songs to have an energetic and fun dance floor all night long - for every age group. He also set up our up-lighting which added to the fairytale ambiance all day. I have so many happy memories from the day and will always smile looking back at the music that accompanied the day. If I could do it all over again, I would make the exact same decisions booking Encore and DJ Mikey V!

the NYC area. Truly an amazing team that gave us the night of our dreams on the dance floor. And being able to book Danny as our video Grapher through encore was the cherry on top!! Loved the convenience of having multiple vendors work together

website to assist with planning and really let us be a part of the playlist creation was important to us. I knew I wanted to dance and it really helped our night be all I wanted it to be.

ocess. Our DJ was Rich Cranston, and boy, did he live up to expectations, and then some. The dance floor was packed from start to finish. Rich and his amazing crew were so fun, upbeat, and always willing to go the extra mile to make sure we were happy, checking in every hour or so for requests and to see if we were enjoying ourselves, which of course, we were! They were so amazing for the ceremony too. The music was magical and exactly what we wanted. A testament to how detail oriented Rich is: we opted for the dry sparklers, which if you are thinking about… do it! We wanted to use them in our ceremony, which was logistically a bit tough. But working with Arbor, Rich made it happen, in the best way! Mid-way down the aisle during the recessional, we stopped for a picturesque kiss, and boom: sparklers ✨ at the end of the aisle. It was everything and the exact moment that we wanted. We asked, and Rich freaking delivered! So many compliments from guests on everything about the DJ - we also have the best memories of the parents getting behind the DJ booth. Basically, if you’re thinking about Encore, book right now!

nd it was an amazing way to open our dance floor. He walked us through EVERYTHING and made sure everyone knew what they needed to. Plus- don’t you want to DJ at your own wedding?! Anything we wanted or needed- Mickey was there to support it 100%. The custom Photo Booth background that we chose- you might not think the colors are a deal breaker but encore went back and forth with us until we had EXACTLY what we wanted. He played a great mix of songs, and everyone had the best time (we had to peel our flower girl off the dance floor because she did not want to stop!) Mickey was super professional throughout the whole event and leading up to it— you can tell this is his passion. I am so appreciative to all the team at Encore that made our wedding so special. We even had guests say that they had more fun at our wedding than at their own! Thank you Mickey and Encore events for the best day of our lives!!

s we didn't expect but loved, MC'd across the whole wedding, and the dancefloor was packed the whole night. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a wedding DJ in the area.

re everything went beautifully. We didn’t worry about anything on our special day!

plans with our other vendors. You guys are amazing!

out us needing to come up with a detailed playlist. He read the room/atmosphere and MC'd all the transitions/announcements perfectly. From a very smooth and low-stress planning process, to great execution the night of the event, the whole experience was great. Highly recommend. If you hire Encore you can have confidence in a great result and worry about one less thing on your wedding planning journey :)

n absolute blast and I am so glad we chose Encore to me a part of our big day.

ng from the custom music mixes they created, to the lighting, to the monogram that they created and displayed, it was just perfect. The team is highly skilled and beyond amazing. My friends and family are still raving over what a great time they had. We would 100% hire them again in the future.

tions for hair and makeup and floral vendors. From the first meeting, Rich C was very familiar with our venue. He mapped out a sample timeline for us and gave recommendations on where to set up the DJ equipment, cake table, etc. The team answered many questions and provided us with lots of information. We had 3 different virtual planning meetings before our wedding day. This helped to make sure everyone was on the same page and they provided so much advice and support especially with us planning our wedding from out of town! Our last planning meeting was about 2 weeks before our wedding and was with the DJ we selected for our wedding. DJ Rich went over our timeline and digital profile information. On our wedding day, we met DJ Rich for the first time in person. Everything went absolutely perfect from the ceremony music and audio to the reception music. DJ Rich kept our guests on the dance floor all night. We could not get our flower girls to stop dancing! DJ Rich and his assistant were so attentive to us throughout the night. Our guests keep talking about how much fun they had! We are so glad that we went with Encore Events!

ew exactly what we wanted and definitely delivered! People are still commenting on how much fun they had and how amazing the music and song choices/mixes were. I also really appreciated the monthly email check ins. Offering helps with any planning we needed, if we needed it. Could not recommend them more! PS get the cold sparklers! Game changer! Thanks again Mikey and the entire Encore team!

sure to check in with us throughout the day to make sure we were eating, ask if we needed anything and kept us on schedule. He worked well with our coordinator and our photographer. We had the best time!

for any wedding or big event.

ience.

ay & our guests raved about the music! Most importantly, this group (DJ John, videographers, & last minute uplighting) were truly thoughtful and intentional in helping to make our day so special. Again, don’t hesitate!

s! Their online planning portal is SO helpful. Our Dj, Kendrick, was super helpful creating our day of timing and sequence of events and he absolutely kept the dance floor packed and the energy high for our whole reception. He continually checked in with my husband and I and kept us in the loop with how our schedule for the night was going. We felt like we had nothing to worry about and had a great time. Shout out to his awesome assistant who was fantastic with the photo booth and got the crowd going! Cannot recommend Encore events more! Thanks Kendrick and crew for helping to make our day perfect!

technical issues the day of but we were able to continue on the day improvising and it did not put a damper on our beautiful day! Having Jordan there was like having a friend there and she definitely kept the day lighthearted and easy!

c and the photobooth was a hit with everyone. We received so many compliments from our guests about how polite and professional him and his team were. There is not one thing I would have changed. Book with Encore and especially with Andre! You won’t be disappointed!

ry beginning stages, attending the live DJ zoom sessions, meetings with Mickey, to the reception everything was top notch. Our family and friends loved the music and I’m pretty sure both of my cousins have already hired Encore for their weddings or will be soon! Mickey - you nailed it!

ing the recent pandemic, but from our first meetings with Rich and Mickey, we were offered professional consultation and guidance through every step of our process. That includes things that they were not even directly responsible for. They have many other vendor recommendations, and suggestions for things that we had not considered. We chose them because we were able to sample DJ's at their virtual open house and pick our personal DJ before we had even signed a contract to work with them. John was our DJ and audio provider for our ceremony, and he was awesome. In the weeks leading up to our big day, as well as the day of the event, he was always accessible for changes and really helped us with our timeline and every aspect of our event. He worked closely with our venue and checked in with us several times to ensure that our event happened in a way that we were totally happy with. The playlist that he made for us was exactly what we wanted and was perfect. We received many compliments from our guests for the music that was played, as well as inquiries from people planning weddings in the future. The Photo Booth was a big hit, the uplighting was great, and the dance floor was always active. All in all we were 100 percent satisfied with every aspect of our day that encore was involved in. They also have the experience to run your entire event if necessary. We would totally recommend this company to anyone looking for any of the services that they offer.

legs were hurting for 3 days !

nres of music all together. He played something for everyone and crushed it. I will say Encore was my favorite vendor to work with. From the initial planning meeting, to payment and everything in between they were so organized and on top of everything! It took a huge stress of my shoulders…don’t hesitate to book Encore for your next event. We’re so glad we did!

x2, John, Andre) and all of them were nothing but supportive, professional, and informative. We had a hard time picking a DJ, only because there were so many great options, in the end we booked Andre. Andre was everything we had hoped for in a DJ! He was a vital part of our event. He managed to match the music to the energy of the wedding, so impressive, because we have such a wide variety in taste in music! From Dashboard Confessionals to Lil Wayne, the transitions were natural. Encore uses a music portal which was very cool and user friendly. They are professional, period. They know what they are doing. Do not book any other DJ besides one on this team!!

meline as well as expectations and necessities leading up to it. When the day arrived, not only were Joey and Mickey early, they helped us finish up some decorating and moving things around! The nature of our event was a bit tricky and they helped keep us on track and navigated/manipulated the schedule of activities as the night went on. Incredible experience all the way through!!!

t with the genuine care/interest of their leadership team. Mickey, our DJ, was a vital part of the success of our wedding. He was INCREDILE. Seriously, made our party and we feel so fortunate to have had him as our DJ. I cant speak highly enough of him!! We are so happy with Encore and highly recommend you use them for whatever event!

DJ for our day and made things so much fun and easy. He checked in with us throughout the day and kept the music flowing and people dancing. Highly recommend Encore Events for your big day!

the moment we met him, and he went above and beyond to make sure our day was special, fun, and memorable. We had an amazing night, thanks to Rich and his experience!!

oothly, checking in with me and husband along the way to make sure we had everything we wanted from the night. 10/10 recommend

iod leading up to our big day!

. They also walk you through it all and take the time to go through your entire timeline with you to make sure that every detail is accounted for. The day/night of our wedding was awesome. My husband and I had the time of our lives. Jordan will be your hype girl 24/7! She had all of our guests up on the dance floor and kept the party going! All of our guests were coming up to us saying OMG I LOVE YOUR DJ. It’s good when you’re having a great time but it’s great when you know all of your guests are enjoying themselves just as much as you are! If you’re having an event don’t hesitate to book Jordan. She will go above and beyond and make your day a dream come true!

individual mixes and pick who we wanted to create the party of our wedding night (this decision is tough because the talent at Encore is out of this world)! They also host open houses which provided such a fun date night jamming out to the best mixes! We picked DJ Mickey who is an outstanding individual and professional. He was organized and punctual for our wedding meetings and he paid very close attention to the details we wanted to make our night perfect. He is so calm, cool and relaxed that you can't help but feel just the same. If you like things your way for music and event coordination, have no fear. He will actually turn your dreams into reality. In fact, he was so savvy that he blew our minds with his amazing tracks during our wedding. He certainly lives up to his nickname at Encore as the "chief engineer of hype." The entire dance floor was packed...the ENTIRE night. When you have people running up to you during the wedding and saying how amazing the music is with pure excitement in their eyes, you know you made the right decision.

ure to pull my chair out every time I went to sit down. It's the little things like that that stood out and made working with Encore special. There were NO hiccups, conflict, confusion etc. throughout the entire process all the way through the wedding day. EVERYONE at Encore Events was so helpful and engaged while we planned our wedding. They were so great that they even asked to help in other ways outside of just "DJing". I 1000% recommend Encore Events, we have nothing but positive things to say about them!!

"DJ" role! If you want not only an EXCELENT DJ, but a full company that will offer support in all aspects of your special day, you should hire Encore Events.

portal made planning a breeze. They also have open houses where you get to choose your favorite DJ that matches the style of your wedding. That alone I feel like is unheard of and really relieved any stress I had because I already knew what my DJ could accomplish. We got the amazing John Roach, who kept in touch and checked in throughout the process. Also his transitions were incredible and kept everyone on the dance floor pumped. We also rented a photo booth - 2000000/10 would recommend. We got to keep all the photos everyone took and it was an easy favor for our guests to have to remember their time with us. Jordan did an excellent job working with me to create the perfect background and backdrop design. I planned my own wedding, which had its own bag of stressors, but this was in no way one of them!

e ever heard! He had everyone on their feet until the lights came on at the end of the night.

s. Andre was our primary DJ and he was very go with the flow especially when we had to make timing changes, decided not to do parent dances, and even stayed late for us when we asked. He made sure the dance floor was full at all times. Definitely 100% would recommend!!

and always answer emails fast. P.s must get they’re new photo booth

would be with making sure our ceremony went exactly as planned. Rich was even by our side telling each part of the wedding party when to walk down the aisle. I cannot recommend Encore Events, Rich and Savannah enough!!

we expected! DJ Raff was amazing to work with. He was professional and friendly and when our wedding coordinator unexpectedly left in the middle of our wedding, Raff and his assistant stepped in to ensure that everything went as planned and kept our timeline moving the way we had wanted. We couldn’t thank them enough for this! Truly the best vendor experience we had overall for our wedding day.

e throughout the entire process! He listened to all of our ideas -some crazy ones lol- but gave us a great understanding on what to expect with timeline, vendors etc. Wedding day he took charge and kept the party going. Through all of that he was constantly checking in to see if I needed anything. Would work with him again and again!

th every aspect from planning to setup and the big day. We loved the energy and friendships built along the way but especially the vibe that the "AGENT OF AWESOME" John Roach brought with him. You and Austen rocked our day! We waited 27 years to get married and the day was absolutely PERFECT!

sm and quality of the staff and the services received. DJ Jon was enthusiastic about working our wedding from the moment we met him at a bridal show, and carried that energy through the entire event. He did a great job at playing specific songs we requested, coming up with his own tunes/mixes, and leading us through all the logistics. The photo booth was fun for our guests, and we got to help design the way the printouts looked. We also received a link to download all the images within a couple of days. I would highly recommend Encore entertainment for your next event.

they danced all night. The process of picking a DJ at open house was such a cool experience and date night for us. Shane was absolutely amazing! For any couple interested in using cold sparklers - do it! We ended up with enough in our budget to add these closer to our day and I am so glad we did - they were spectacular and an excellent treat for our guests as well!

for us. DJ Ray was incredible!! So friendly, kind, and was there for us at every point of the wedding. WE HAD SUCH AN AMAZING DANCE PARTY and it was all due to Ray! Can't recommend DJ Ray and Encore Entertainment enough!

made sure our dance floor was always full of smiling dancing guests, followed all of our requests, and was fun & kind to work with! Our guests raved about our DJ! Thank you again!

uld get to know one another and so they could grasp our taste in music. On top of that, they provide an easy-to-use portal that makes planning your day SO easy. Music was huge for my husband and I and we left just about everything, ceremony to reception, up to DJ’s choice simply because how incredible they are. They knew exactly what to play and when to play it to capture our guest’s attention. We received so many compliments on how great the music was and how much fun they had at the reception! I give them a 1000000/10! If you are thinking of booking them – this is your sign to DO IT! Our day would not have been the same without them. Thank you, Rich & Savannah!!!!

needs but he also offered to get us drinks during our wedding! How many DJs do that? Encore is a great team to work with we felt supported from start to finish.

e DJs and even had previews of what the DJs were like. We decided to go with Andre because we liked his style and thought we would work well together. Andre made our wedding night go so smoothly. He worked with us and got to know us and our music taste. He kept the party going and everyone was on the dance floor the entire night. He was there for anything we needed (including finding us superglue for the Groom's glasses during dinner). We can't thank Andre and Encore Events enough for making our wedding everything we dreamed of. We were just sad it had to end! We would highly recommend Encore Events to anyone who is in need of a DJ for their special day!

communicated well with us about the formalities and timing of our planned events and double checked the pronunciation of our bridal party names. Some of their staff was especially generous supporting our needs and answering our emails. Our dance floor was full and fun all night long! The music transitions were great and not too quick and many of our song requests from the online portal were played. We loved our personalized photo booth template and our choice in background. There were a few things that could have been better. Communicating with Encore via email was challenging at times because I did not always know how to contact for certain things, even though I specifically asked about this in the beginning. We did not get our first choice in DJ, which ended up being fine, but we were not happy with the DJ assistant we were assigned with. We did not understand what the assistant did the whole day and there was no one helping our guests work the photo booth, which was especially problematic when the photo background changed and printed incorrectly for several guests. The lighting was also off for the first hand full of photos. These are some things that can certainly be improved upon, but by no means did it ruin the day. We had a blast with Encore as our DJ!

let me tell you our wedding was everything we dreamed of AND MORE!!!! I cannot say thank you enough to rich , savvy and encore events for absolutely KILLING OUR RECEPTION!!! The amount of people that texted called us after our wedding was INSANE!!!! They said it was the absolute most electric wedding they ever been too!’ ( THANKS TO RICH) the whole night they made sure me and my husband were taken care of. It two days after our wedding and my husband and I are still smiling ear to ear because encore made our wedding AN UNFORGETTABLE NIGHT!!!!!!! Thank you thank you thank you RICH Cranston. WE WISH WE COULD RELIVE THIS NIGHT 1000x more TIMES!!!!!!!!!!!!

song, ceremony songs, and everything in between. Planning a wedding can be VERY stressful and having a vendor that is on top of all the details and attentive to emails made us at ease. The DJ can make or break your wedding and I can honestly say they made ours!! People were up dancing all night long and weeks after still tell us how great the night was. Rich really went above and beyond the day of to check in on us and see how we were doing at various parts of the night. We also decided to do a final dance with just the two of us and Rich used my phone to take pictures, it was very special. Again, just can't say enough about how great Encore Events was and highly recommend everyone to use them to make their wedding just as special.

th you MULTIPLE times throughout the process to talk about everything, and then the day of they CRUSH it. Our dance floor was poppin ALL NIGHT LONG. We never had to worry about not having a drink in our hand, pulling out our own chair, etc. Rich and his team at Encore at remarkable. Our guests cannot stop talking about him, and we couldn't have pictured anyone better to hire as our DJ!
