I used Extravagant DJs for my wedding after seeing them at other events. I was not disappointed! Sal was attentive during the entire process and delivered a high energy night to remember. I couldn't be more grateful for making the experience stress-free and for creating the exact ambiance I envisioned.
I cannot rave enough about Sal & his professional team. Not only did they manage to make it through the pandemic & me pushing my wedding off for an entire year, but they went above and beyond to satisfy my husband and I. Every single thing we asked for we received. Derek, our incredible MC made our wedding even better. So kind & thoughtful & really knows how to have a good time! Every silly question I had, Sal answered. Even the things I didn’t think of he already had planned out for me knowing I’d need it. I can’t say enough about him & his team. You’d be truly BLESSED to have these guys work your special event!
Sal and the Extravagant group did an excellent job handling all of our sound, music, and lighting needs for our June wedding at Windows on the Water. Being a postponed wedding from last June, Sal worked with us to reschedule and honored our contract and every detail we had for our original date. Through Sal we were able to have a steel drum player for our cocktail hour that was perfect for our beach wedding vibe! Sal worked closely with our venue in order to ensure that orders were taken so we could get in has many opportunities to dance as possible! Sal worked to read the crowd and keep both young and old on the dance floor. As a bride and groom or really care about music, Sal nailed it and kept the dance floor moving all night. We also were able to book our open air photo booth through Sal which was a huge hit. Working with Sal and his team was effortless. They handled all of the little details so we could truly enjoy our day.
Sal and his staff made our wedding a night to remember. Our Mc was so funny and kept the night flowing, Sal played all our favorite songs and really knows how to read a crowd he kept our friends and family dancing all night! Our photo booth lounge was gorgeous and our guest had so much fun taking pictures. We are so happy that we went with Extravagant Entertainment Group!
We chose extravagant group as a recommendation from our venue (The Estate at Farrington Lake- also recommend!) Sal was so helpful through the whole process and we were elated to discover he would be our DJ the day of. Our MC was Eric and he did an amazing job working with out crowd while still respecting all the guidelines in place for 2020. Both Sal and Eric went above and beyond the day of the wedding to make sure both myself and my husband were comfortable and happy with the music and the flow of the night. I cannot recommend them both enough!
We have used Extravagant DJs for years - from birthdays or weddings and we have never been disappointed. Sal is amazing and he and his staff have always been right on point with the music and getting the party started...using this company is a no brainer!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have work over the past 20 years with a lot of DJ companies and Sal and his team are far above the rest. His professionalism his talent and caring for his clients is far superior to most companies. I have had Sal and Extravagant do my own personal parties I would trust these parties to anyone else.
Sal and his group were absolutely amazing!! My wedding had to be postponed a few times due to covid and we ended up having a smaller wedding instead of continuing postponing into 2021 and beyond. I cannot say enough good things about Sal, his crew, and Dani!! Every step of the way, every text, phone call, email with changes in the plans - they were absolutely amazing to work with. Finally my big day came and it completely blew us away - our music was fantastic and our MC and DJ made it truly an unforgettable night. Sal was there each step of the way making sure every detail was perfect. I recommend Extravagent to anyone who is looking to hire a DJ and MC - you will not be disappointed.
My wedding was this February and I hired Extravagant Entertainment. This was a big wedding and the MC and DJ made the night one to remember. I had lists of songs I wanted and others I did not want played. They had the whole room up and dancing for 5 hours!!! I cannot day enough about how amazing and fun this duo made my wedding! I will recommend and use for all upcoming events in the future! Also, lighting, etc were beautiful!!
My husband and I were absolutely blown away by Sal and his whole crew!! I remember we had a call with Sal a few weeks before the wedding to go through everything. We knew the main songs (first dance, entrance, etc) ... but then Sal offered to take the reins from there, and I am so glad he did! My dance floor was packed the entire night which is what I wanted! The guests at my wedding were literally sore the next day from dancing! My husband's family is Colombian, so we asked him to incorporate some Latin music ... and he sure did!! He made the wedding and I can't ever thank him enough!! I also will not fail to mention the video clips and trailer he sent me on our honeymoon! EPIC!!
sal and his team were wonderful. the songs I asked not to be played at our last meeting were not played and the ones I definitely wanted played were. we also did the king queen chairs which h looked so classy. we had Eric as the MC an I think Danny was the DJ and both were wonderful!! we added the white floor, first dance on the clouds, montage towers and lightening sticks at the end of the night. everyone loved them and people were definitely on the dance floor!!!
I’ll start off by saying that if I could give ZERO STARS, I would!!
Sal was booked as my wedding DJ on Saturday night 7/20/19 and NEVER SHOWED UP!! There was no communication from him to his entire team, everyone was looking for him - calling and texting him to no avail, including myself and my father as we were waiting to walk down the aisle as well as during my entire cocktail hour. Nobody on his team knew my song selection for ceremony, and started asking me what to play 10 MINUTES BEFORE I WAS SUPPOSED TO WALK DOWN THE AISLE. Live musicians I hired for ceremony were set up elsewhere since they didn’t have proper direction from their boss. COMPLETE DISASTER. My guests sat in the ceremony with no music or bridal party for 20 minutes while I had to sort this out and i ultimately had to get my groomsmen to carry audio equipment across the venue so we had the proper ceremony music.
1 hour before my reception was supposed to start, I learn that I didn’t have a DJ at all!! Not only did Sal not show up, he didn’t get coverage!! Between Sal’s crew and my amazing venue, they somehow pulled together some hobo radio DJ, NOT A WEDDING DJ, who basically didn’t know how to mix music. All my months of planning went to shit! This new DJ arrived 15 minutes before my reception was supposed to start. It was an utter disaster, causing my party to start late and cutting my reception short. Made me, my husband and my family scramble to make sure we had music and missed our entire cocktail hour cleaning up this mess Sal created. Once the party finally started, we realized that not only was Sal, the company owner/my DJ MIA, but 2 of the live musicians that were contracted for my reception weren’t there either.
Once Sal did finally call me the afternoon AFTER my wedding, he was unapologetic and was trying to provide excuses and reasons why this wasn’t his fault. Complete joke!!! No professionalism in this company at all!!
I hope no bride EVER has to experience what I did. The entire first half of my wedding was RUINED because of Sal’s inability to properly run a company! Months of planning went completely down the drain. They closed out my wedding with my top song from my DO NOT PLAY LIST. If you had plans to book with Extravagant, DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND GO ELSEWHERE!!! If you have a party booked, try to REVOKE YOUR CONTRACT and book with a professional organization. If the owner doesn’t care about clients, his team won’t either!!! It’s been a week since my wedding and he still won’t own up to the fact that he screwed up!! THIS COMPANY AND ITS OWNER ARE A JOKE!!
Very experienced DJ and MC team. They did our wedding at the Estate at Farrington Lake and had the dance floor packed the entire night. We received nothing but positive feedback from all of our guests. Highly recommend them for other weddings!
I wish there were more than 5 stars to give Sal and his team for the performance they put on at our wedding! From the beginning of the wedding planning process Sal was extremely easy to work with and communicate with throughout. Sal and his team were a recommendation from my sister and photographer who attended a wedding that he DJ’d at. I booked him 3 days after we got engaged and never looked back! He promised an epic wedding and let me tell you he did not disappoint. Our friends and family were on the dance floor ALL.. NIGHT ... LONG. From Mike the MC who did an outstanding job to Sal making the best music selections.. the party never stopped. Every music selection was timed perfectly for our courses, speeches, etc. They helped the night flow perfectly and I couldn’t be happier to have had them a part of our wedding day. It’s over a month later and our guests are still talking about how much fun the night was .. 10/10 would highly recommend!!!!
We loved our DJ and MC. A month later and we are still hearing how impressed our guests were with them. The music and energy was spot on with vibe of the room and kept everyone dancing and happy.
Extravagant Group simply rocked our wedding! Sal and his team outdid themselves and we cant thank them enough for it!! Erik the Mc was amazing, he had the crowd going at all times!! They are truly unique in the field, and they have elevated our wedding to the max! Sal was able to provide us with a lot of add ons to make our big day that much special. He was there with us every step of the way when it came to planning and mapping out music and all the other details of the entertainment for the night. The best day of my life was complete thanks to Extravagant entertainment!!!
Sal was so great to work with! He took the time to really understand what vibe we were going for at our wedding and he delivered! Thank you!
There aren’t enough words to describe how perfect this DJ group is! Our DJ- Jay G was the most phenomenal DJ I have ever encountered. I had a lot of specific details I wanted and he absolutely nailed it! He plays the perfect mix of music for everyone to enjoy, knows all the tricks to keep the dance floor packed (not that we needed to use any of them), makes sure there is no downtime between songs so people stay moving, didn’t talk over the music, and kept everything on time. He was so cool to talk to and made us feel comfortable the entire night. I had guests going up to him throughout the night asking for his business card. Our party was the best because we had the BEST entertainment! You will NOT regret booking this DJ!!!
My wedding was the most amazing day of my life and I have to thank Sal from Extravagant DJs!! From the beginning Sal was amazing, he was not only professional but also made my husband and I feel very comfortable and really enjoy this experience! My fear was that nobody would dance at my wedding, but Sal and Derek delivered an amazing night of dancing, laughs and an absolutely awesome time! He was so receptive to our style of music, had great suggestions, and updated us with every detail. The dance floor was full all night long, everyone was happy! Derek was on the dance floor the entire wedding, full of energy and had amazing dance moves! He engaged our guests and I couldn’t thank Derek and Sal enough for providing an amazing experience! We used Extravagant DJs for not only our DJ experience but also videography and for our photo booth! Sal’s team made us feel comfortable and was very personable. I am so excited to watch the short clip and full video of our wedding! Still to this day all of our guests talk about what an amazing time they had dancing, the awesome props for the photo booth and how the music choices were perfect! I am so thankful to have had this experience and highly recommend Sal at Extravagant DJs!
I cannot speak more highly of Extravagant Group and of Sal specifically. Before going with them we had some difficulties with another DJ company. Sal came highly recommended, and my fiance and I are so glad that we found him because he is absolutely incredible. Upon first meeting with him, we instantly knew we liked him. He made us feel comfortable and welcome, explaining every step of the process and answering any questions we had. Sal always made himself available if I needed anything, whether through a call or text. He is extremely professional, talented, and experienced. When it came to the actual wedding day, he worked wonders. My guests loved the music, it was a perfect mix of dance songs, old and new. The dance floor was PACKED the entire night, with people from every age group enjoying themselves. Our MC Eric was also absolutely incredible!!! Between the two of them the party didn't stop and my guests had so much fun. The Photo Booth that Sal provided was also a huge hit and my guests loved all the props! I can't imagine a better DJ than Sal and his team. Our wedding was seriously a dream come true and Extravagant Group was a MAJOR REASON ! Thank you so much Sal!!!!
Interviewed 3 other DJ vendors. Knew immediately that Sal and his company were the choice to make.
Sal was an absolute pleasure and most engaging. Felt like we knew him as a personal friend, and he showed up to DJ our event. Every person at the wedding were requesting cards from Sal. The room never stopped rocking! and his MC Derek assisted to lead the party on all evening. Very well organized and most professional. HIRE EXTRAVAGANT!
I used Extravagant Group for my wedding a couple of weeks ago, and I am so happy I did. Sal kept my guests on the dance floor partying it up all night. Everything we discussed before the wedding worked out just like we planned. It was refreshing to not have to worry about anything. Our MC for the celebration was Eric, and he went above and beyond! He kept things moving and made sure all our guests had a great time. You won't regret hiring this company for your wedding.
Everyone who attended our wedding is still talking about how absolutely amazing Sal and the Extravagant team were. Incredibly wonderful experience working with them. Their perfection of the craft is truly impressive and you can tell that it is the result of extensive experience in the industry. We would highly recommend Extravagant Entertainment to anyone and couldn't ask for a more perfect wedding thanks to them!
Sal did such an amazing job! He was the dj at my wedding and two of my friends' weddings and he knew EXACTLY what we wanted. He knows how to read the crowd and play the music they want to hear. He knows my friends and I LOVE our 90's music and he had an amazing set ready for us! Sal also played the music during our wedding ceremony and it was beautiful! I had people tell me that they never cry at a wedding (or at their kids' weddings) and they cried at ours. He knew what songs were perfect to play for each part and it was amazing. He also did the photo booth and the monogram during the reception. Both looked awesome and were beautiful. So many of my guests left the party asking who my dj was and where I found him. If you're looking for an amazing dj, definitely call Sal! :)
Sal did an amazing job reading the crowd. He not only did an amazing job with the music but he also provided our photo booth and did my sweetheart table. I told him my vision and the final product of everything was pure perfection. So happy I went with him and his team!
