Event Advantage

All of their staff was extremely helpful and friendly. Many guests shared my opinion, as well. The DJ was very professional and worked so hard to keep everything moving. He was funny, interacted with guests and always had a smile on his face. He played fun games with our guests and kept everything moving perfectly through the timeline that he provided. All of our guests kept telling us how much they loved the music being played. He played a great variety of genres and kept everyone dancing. He even did some original mixes. I cannot say enough about Event Advantage. They handled so much leaving me to enjoy my perfect day.

d Lou did a great job giving us a rundown of everything we should expect and the proceeding order of events of the reception. During the event itself, he was an amicable and popular MC and, most importantly, he helped me feel in total control of the event. Between the very helpful staff at the Croatian American Cultural Center and Lou, I felt confident in directing my family members and providing support to my bride. Music wise: I provided Lou with a detailed set of playlists and gave him wiggle-room to play music for the audience demographic. He conducted accordingly and the event went smoothly. We also enlisted him to do a fog machine during our first dance and a photo booth throughout the event; all of it went great! I really am incredibly appreciative of Lou and the hard work that he put into my reception.

g a beautiful occasion

dding I called and emailed them to confirm and go over the details however it took 3 calls and a few emails to get a response. I finally had my husband call and they picked up but couldn't talk at that moment. I had honestly thought I was being ghosted and I had started developing contingency plans. In early emails I was told to fill out the planning sheet and then call to discuss it and if I needed help with anything they would help. There planning sheet was difficult to use and outdated. Most of what was on it did not apply to our wedding. I sent it back to them as well as a table that clearly outlined our time schedule, music preferences and choosen songs. This was in the same detailed format that I sent all of my wedding vendors and the feedback I got from other vendors was that it was extremely organized and helpful, however event advantage told me that "there DJ's are not trained to use that". I was finally able to schedule a meeting with them to discuss details for the Tuesday before my Saturday wedding. However, after waiting an hour without them calling at the designated, we left for dinner and then they finally called while we were in the car. The owner was the one who called us and not the assigned Dj. It would have been really helpful to talk to the Dj that came to our wedding because there was many missed communications. I went into my wedding day thinking that it was a 50/50 shot someone would show up based on the lack of communication leading up to that point. A very nice man did show up, which was great. He was very friendly but unprepared, I do not think any of this was his fault. I think it is the companies lack of organization. He did not have our ceremony songs downloaded and our ceremony site had little cell reception. Thankful one of groomsmen was able to set up a hotspot for him to be able to download the songs. The perssesional was the wrong version of the song eventhough I had sent the exact version to the owner of the company. Getting to the reception the Dj did not know what the anniversary dance was and I had to explain it to him. We also had not picked out a song for it which was something I forgot, however it should've been something that the company noticed. One of the major things my husband and I were looking forward to was this "prank" we were going to play on all our guest were we called them all out to dance to the acoustic version of "Get Low" and then it switched into the normal version, which would then start the party. This got messed up because the DJ only called the wedding party out. This was a small thing but dissapointed me because we had really looked forward to that moment. Overall the music played was okay, we told them middle school dance vibes but it kinda missed the mark. Again that is something that could've been fixed if we had actually met with the Dj before hand. My guests did a great job taking over the song request sheet which in turn gave us the party we wanted. I wanna stress that I think the Dj there did the best that the company prepared him for and that the lack of communication from the company was the downfall. They were incredibly difficult to work with but they showed up!

the future!

y recommend!!

nt advantage for your next wedding or event!

would recommend them for your next event!

ey as well. Highly recommend for any event.

vironment so lively and fun! They were super flexible and worked so well with us! Overall amazing experience! ❤️

ated with Louis wasn’t given to him. And to top it off when we requested to speak with him to let him know how dissatisfied we were, the phone call was not returned. I definitely won’t recommend them

r microphones didn’t work and their Dj admitted this was his first gig ! I just talked to the owner 3 days prior to my wedding and went over all the details one last time with him! My grand entrance was embarrassing and my bridesmaid had to announce me and my husband because the Dj didn’t. The dj then said he didn’t know how to put the microphones together. Then I had dancing on a cloud well was supposed too and none of that worked so I didn’t get that. The dj asked my UNCLE to do emcee because he didn’t know how to emcee!! So my uncle had to scream to announce everything because their weren’t any microphones. Father of the bride dance, the dj didn’t have our songs edited so we had to plug in our phone through an aux cord and play a YouTube video very low with all the regular noise in the background (it was a mash up, and we took dancing lessons)! None of our songs were right & all the company has to say is excuses on why it happened including apparently the colfax fire is what caused the dj to not have any of our paperwork which makes absolutely zero cents. They will not give me my pictures from the photo booth that we are supposed to get. I asked for my deposit back and they won’t give that back neither. The owner has so many excuses, but an apology or anything ! She is beyond rude and very unprofessional! We have the whole night recorded of everything! We literally had to take over on everything for the dj because he didn’t even know which cords plugged into where. Give me my photos and my deposit back ! You say the customer is always right but yet Chellie is beyond unprofessional!! Same with Lou! You guys are liars ! Unless you want to cry at your wedding, because everything you were promised went wrong, then don’t choose them! Their is a lady named Monique that just went through the same thing as me ! And all event advantage does is try to threaten you with an attorney for writing bad reviews, everything from my wedding was recorded!

ad with their event service is listed below. The DJ they contract with DJ Corey is unprofessional as well. Of course in the beginning they were responsive and nice but after our event when we tried to talk to them about all the issues we encountered they were non responsive. The little communication we did have with them they were very rude and unprofessional. They said they couldn't contact us back because they did not have our contact information when we have contacted them via text, email and phone they for some convenient reason couldnt find our contact info after the event occurred and all the issues they had at our wedding. Our last conversation was them saying we are aware of the issues but not sure what we want from them and that we need to contact their DJ if we are unhappy. Not to mention the photobooth they promised was non operative a week prior to our wedding and we had to scramble to find one last minute. I just could not believe the lack of customer service and communication that was provided when we told them about the issues. You would think as professionals they would at least try to follow up with us, but instead they put the blame elsewhere. I also have never had a company tell me "I'm not sure what you want from us" when I am calling to talk to them of the issues we have with their contractors. I would not recommend this company to anyone for any event services. This was the worse experience I have ever had when dealing with a company. List of issues: 1.DJ Not dressed professional. Looked like he was going to a backyard bbq. 2. No wireless mics after he stated he would provide wireless mics for ceremony. 3. Mics provided cut off halfway through our ceremony. Guest did not hear vows. 4. MC services- he did not know what was happening even with provided time line. Did not tell guest after ceremony where to go or what to do timely. Kept asking us questions and referring to packet during the wedding. 5. Did not play intro song to reception. We walked in to awkward silence. 6. Did not have availability to play songs guest requested. He said he didn't Have wifi but as a DJ he should have songs on a drive or downloaded. 7. Did not know how to transition songs, songs ended with awkward silence until next song started. 8. He took at least a dozen smoke breaks in a 4 hour period. 10. No titles of songs in computer so you could only pick song by artist name and guess which song will play. 11. He was not well versed is the genre of music we asked him to play and discussed with him prior to our wedding. During ceremony he said he is not familiar with the that type of music and we would have to tell him what to play.

pilaf could possibly be THAT delicious! & go crazy with appetizers- they were ALL AMAZING! Lou's prices are totally reasonable - and going with the higher end stuff is SO WORTH IT!

ld definitely be telling all of my friends about it!! Best day of my life thank you guys so much.

se I was so busy getting everything else ready. I had nothing to worry about though, they knew exactly what they were doing and didn’t need to be babysat or walked through the entire night. There was a great music selection and everyone has a blast. Bottom line...you won’t regret hiring this company! I would definitely hire again!
