EncoreEventGroup Transform Your Venue

ached back out. I told Nicole what I was interested in and answered a question for her and have heard nothing back in 2 weeks. Poor customer service

eting... because once we did... we fell in love with Rob's patience, enthusiasm, and passion for what he does. From the get-go, my husband and I knew that we didn't want the typical wedding songs or the so-called "push play DJ" at our wedding. We wanted someone who could get a feel for the type of music that we and our guests loved -- electronic, rap, hip-hop, even some k-pop (I'm of Korean descent). Rob, however, didn't shy away from this challenge and from our first meeting (which, by the way, he and his wife stayed open late to accommodate my schedule) he did some live mixing for us. If you EVER get a chance to have Rob mix for you--ask him to do so. You'll really get to see his talent and excitement shine when you hear country mixed with EDM, K-pop mixed with rap, etc. From that moment, we knew that we had our DJ. Rob also brought to life our vision of the perfect space for our reception. He provided a starry night sky for our ballroom reception, flashing and stationary lighting to match the space and music, white couches around the perimeter of the dance floor for guests to relax but still join in on the fun as it got late into the night, and a greenscreen photo/video booth (which Rob then used to put together our concept of a wedding music video of our guests dancing around like crazy in front of the images and videos that my husband and I selected). If you are someone who has a vision of the kind of wedding you want and need someone to execute it and make it even better than you could imagine -- Rob and his team at Encore Event Group is where it's at.

t answered but instead of freaking out I just trusted that they would do a good job. I loved the fact that they give the guests pick and they will mix songs together while playing them. I got all my "pick and play" cards and put them into the invitations and when someone asks I explained what it was and said the DJ was going to be great! Well, to my surprise, out of everything on the wedding day the only thing I would change is the DJ. Here is why: I had talked to my DJ the day before the wedding and had stressed a few things that I wanted to have done at the wedding. We were not having a mother and son dance so we decided to have Spice girls - Momma play for all the mothers to dance with their sons. The DJ was really nice and I was super excited. We went over all the names and that was it. One the wedding day, when my now husband, me, and the wedding party came in, my brother had to go let her know that we were there. She came out and mispronounced some names even though we just went over them a day prior. We start walking in and she messes up one of the couples names. Everything was going smoothly until I started talking to my guests. They were all saying she was playing elevator music and to get the better music on. So, I started trying to do the dances in order to get the reception going. A few guests had requested songs and they were not played. After my husband and I heard of that we went up to her to request songs....she didn't play them. she didn't play the Spice girls song either. Even when my husband went up there 2 times to get a song played...she didn't play it. I was so upset. Now people still talk about the fact that there wasn't a good dj there. I decided to contact the company and see if they had any comments to add. I left to messages and both had no response. Based on the no requests played and no email returned...I would say...please don't go through the hassle of getting them to play at your wedding. Please research a little more and for the money of 1800 I promise you it is not a good deal.

nsforms the lighting of the entire space, and its so FUN! Chris & Jahara were very professional and on time to set everything up. Both had great personalities and were very easy to work with! I would highly recommend them for your next event!

ly and went out of their way to accommodate my busy schedule. They are awesome I would recommend them to friends/family.

He didn't make me feel like an idiot for calling 2 days before my wedding. He just assessed what I wanted, made sure they had the lighting to do so, gave me a quote and set it all up the day of the wedding. I received TONS of compliments with how beautiful the room looked and the amazing lighting and decor. My wedding theme was more romantic, with lots of votive candles, but the one thing I wanted more than anything (as far as wedding decor) were bistro lighting over the dance floor to look like my husband and I were dancing underneath the stars. He was also able to add the sheer cloth with stringed lights for our headtable... which really made a difference in the room! First of all, not that many lighting vendors even can do that. Second, EEG was the only vendor who attended to me with such short notice. When I talked to Rob and asked how he was able to do it, he simply told me EEG loves to do weddings and was excited for this challenge. They truly made my dream wedding come true. Rob is amazing to work with! He and the rest of the EEG staff are so amazing and very diligent workers. He told me he had 6 other weddings to set-up and tear down, but it did not interfere with the amazing work they put up for us. Hands down, one of the best vendors I've worked with!! And I truly recommend the Encore Event Group for all your lighting, decor and sound needs!!

ir way to make the ceremony beautiful!

handeliers to add to the decoration. Overall we were really happy with everything rob did for both receptions. He has a great personality that is important when it comes in planning a wedding and choosing vendors. He always had a big smile on his face when working with us. He stayed at both receptions the entire time to make sure things go as planned.. In conclusion, planning a wedding can be stressful time but choosing the right vendors who are going to put your day at ease is the way to go.. I highly recommend Rob because he is a dedicated person in what he does.

with the photo booth and my husband said "we draw the line at this expense." It was a monsterous success and Rob made it work for Dan's budget. They were there early, completed on time, gave us the lighting without going overboard. Rob, my only thought is that you need a banner over the "PHOTO BOOTH" so people can see it from anywhere in the room. Thank you all so so much.

ad a fall themed wedding; and the extra touch with the up lighting made it feel like we were in a giant pumpkin (which is what I wanted!!!!) the sound active lights were amazing... sound quality= top knotch. I just cannot express how pleased I am with this company. Who you hire makes a huge difference on if your wedding is awesome or if it sucks... I did a great job by hiring these guys !!!! The photobooth was SUCH a hit! We fit 13 people in the booth at once, and we beat the record; so when you hire them, be sure to try to beat our record ;-) -Felicia Campbell

n the photobooth was! Highly recommended!!!
