Forella Events

DJ Bates kept the dance floor going all night long! I was extremely picky when it came to my DJ for my wedding because I wanted to make sure they wouldn't play any old song you hear at every wedding. He went above and beyond! Thank you so much for helping keep the party going.

Ade, Justin, and their team were perfect for our wedding! Their photography and DJ'ing services were exceptional, and all of our guests were raving about how good the pictures turned out and the music. In terms of DJing, we had no worries as Justin and his team took care of everything. Everyone could hear each other during the ceremony and speeches, and all of our guests were dancing to the music. I am confident that their service is the best in the area - in all of Michigan! In terms of photography, Ade is very sweet, caring, and attentive to detail. It was very easy posing for the photos and letting her direct where to stand/facial expressions. She made sure to capture the important and little moments. The picture turnaround was relatively fast and easy as well! She is the perfect photographer, and the two are a great match to do business together! Ultimately, look no further - book with Forella Events and have the best, energetic event!

nthony and Devon were great! We had so many compliments on the music. They were always checking in with us and communication was great throughout the whole planning process. The photo booth was a huge hit! 10/10 would book again!

Justin is the absolute best!!! We could not have imagined a better DJ for our wedding. We (and both of our families) love to hit the dance floor and we wanted the night to be full of non-stop bangers, and that's what we got!! Even family members who were reluctant to dance found it hard to leave the dance floor. The music was undoubtedly the highlight of our reception. We couldn't be happier!!!

Justin was the MAN! He played the right amount of music for everyone (our ages ranged from 20-60 years old) and everyone had a BLAST. Best DJ in town. Couldn’t have been more perfect. Thank you Justin!

If I could give these guys a million stars I would! Justin was our DJ for our wedding on September 16th, and his wife Ade was our photographer. They are both AMAZING and an absolute dream to work with! Justin kept our party going all night and had everyone on the dance floor. He was such a great hype man! His ability to mix and blend songs together is incredible. His sound system and mics all worked perfectly for our outdoor ceremony and indoor reception. The quality of the sound was perfect in both areas. He made sure to play all of the songs we asked for on the "must-have" list. He also did not play any of the songs we specifically told him we did NOT want. He made sure he had all of our wedding party names pronounced correctly for our introductions, which we appreciated. We also had their digital photo booth and audiobook telephone services, which our guests loved! It has been so much fun going through all of the photos and audio files. Ade is such a gem, and her calming presence on my wedding day was everything I needed after I had a couple of disappointing things happen the morning of my wedding with other vendors. She made sure my hair and dress were falling in all the right places for our photos and made sure to instruct us on basic things, like keeping our chin up or down to get the right angles. We had her as a single shooter, and she was great at cranking out all of our group photos quickly so we could get to the party. My husband and I didn't want to do a first look, but she had a couple of cute photo ideas to incorporate for us without seeing each other before the ceremony. Ade's services included an engagement shoot. Her editing does not look heavily filtered and is so beautiful and bright. We have a few family members who are engaged, and as long as Forella Events is in business, we will be recommending these guys to everyone and anyone we know with an upcoming wedding. Justin and Ade were truly the heroes of our wedding who made it so special and memorable. HIRE FORELLEA EVENTS FOR YOUR WEDDING! I promise you will not regret it.

Anthony Bates was the DJ for our wedding. He did a phenomenal job, was reasonably priced & communicates well. I will absolutely be coming back if needed.

DJ Bates aka Anthony Bates has been my #1 go to for all 4 of my kids graduation parties, (4) weddings and even my parents 50th Anniversary party! He is adaptable, relevant and knows how to keep a party going! He covers all genres of music!!! You will not be disappointed!!!

Anthony Bates was our DJ for my wedding and he is the best! 10/10 will hire again! Definitely would highly recommend!

I had the pleasure of experiencing the incredible talent of DJ Bates at our wedding in 2071and was blown away! From the moment the music started, the dance floor was packed and never emptied. DJ Bates expertly read the crowd and played a perfect mix of songs that kept everyone on their feet all night long. Their professionalism and attention to detail were evident in every aspect of their performance, from the seamless transitions between songs to the perfectly timed announcements. The energy they brought to the event was infectious, and I would highly recommend DJ Bates to anyone looking for a wedding DJ who will make their special day unforgettable.

The DJ at my daughters wedding totally rocked! Anthony Bates is his name👍 I would highly recommend him .all my guests loved him. my daughter, the bride said she was so fortunate to get such a great DJ.at her wedding.

BEST DJ EVER! Do yourself a favor and hire him for your event IMMEDIATELY. He’s reliable, timely, professional, friendly and he caters to the crowds needs and wants. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Best DJ in Detroit hands down. He did my wedding and man was it a party. Very professional, very courteous, willing to cater to any needs you require. Highly recommend.

Anthony is a an awesome dj!! He did my wedding and brought everyone on the dance floor. Can play genres for all crowds. Couldn’t ask for a better guy. I’ve recommended him to other ppl for their events and they have not been let down!

Anthony bates was my wedding dj a couple years ago and coming from a dj… he was top notch!! 10/10 would recommend 💖

We had both Ade do our photos and Justin DJ for us in October of 2022. I CANNOT recommend both of them enough. Justin made our reception an absolute party. The vibe we wanted they both achieved. We did the up lighting, the nice booth, and the Photo Booth and our guest till this day talk about the party, and how much fun they had. I would 100%%% recommend!

If you ever need a DJ for anything, ever you need Justin from Forella Events We were the worst & didn’t have many suggestions or requests prior to the wedding so he had to come in basically blind and just feel us out. Not long into the day he felt like someone we knew. He talked to our guests & helped corral people & kept our timeline on track. When I tell you our wedding would have been a total bust without him I mean it. He kept everyone on their feet. To simply say I appreciate him would be an understatement. If I ever need someone to bring the party Justin will always be who I call! Thank you for making our special day so much fun!

Let me tell you all you need know through quotes from my wedding guest… “That is the most fun wedding I’ve ever been to!” “Your DJ played such a good mix!” “Your DJ really knew how to get the crowd going” “He was so fun!” “I didn’t stop dancing all night” “Your guest closed the dance floor down” 10/10 recommend! Quinton really went above and beyond my husbands and I expectations! He listened to our wants and needs and really brought our day to a next level. More than DJing, he did a great job announcing, interacting with guest, and following our lead when it came to type and style of music we wanted. Quinton, thank you so much for all the incredible memories. You ELEVATED our day beyond anything we could have imagined.

Quinton was amazing!! He was able to get our entire group dancing and everyone had an amazing time. He played great music and was able to get all age groups dancing. He did a great job connecting with guests.

Justin was amazing to work with and truly made our day unforgettable. The online portal made it extremely easy for us to pick and choose what songs to play throughout the night. Justin is a fantastic DJ who will play the music live and have seamless transitions between songs. He included all our must plays, while also focusing on the crowd and playing to the audience / vibe. A few weeks later and we are still getting compliments for how great the music was at our wedding. Thank you, Justin, for throwing DOWN at our wedding and making it such a great party.

Quinton was professional, easy to communicate with, and an expert on keeping people on the dance floor. He went above and beyond to ensure everything went smoothly and even added personal touches to our special day. If you are looking for an exceptional DJ, he’s your man! Two weeks post wedding our guests are still complimenting on how AMAZING the music/DJ was. 10/10 would book again!!

Justin Forella DJed our Wedding this past weekend and we can’t recommend him enough. He worked with us before and during the event to even adjust with our schedule on the fly. He made seamless transitions all the way through the night and kept the reception fun and on schedule. He kept the dance floor active all night playing all the best music and the dancing favorites for all ages. He was extremely accommodating and professional through the entire process, and had everything we needed for both inside and outside settings of our venue. If you’re looking for a top quality DJ that will leave you no stress at your event for a great price go with Forella Events.

We loved having a packed dance floor the whole night and it was all thanks to our DJ and Sean! They were super great to work with, kept everyone on track and made sure everyone had a fun night. I had a strict ~ no instructional dance move songs ~ and they kindly obliged! It was so nice to see everyone having such a good time. Our one strife was during a song we would run to every table and take a picture with each group. We made it more than halfway (we had nearly 30 tables) and they were supposed to play the song again (which we had previously discussed) and they didn't. They went into the dances right away. We missed out on 10-12 tables which was our only chance to guarantee a picture with everyone that attended. We were really upset that we missed so many of our guests and still feel guilty. I would have rather prioritized the last tables instead of the schedule, but the Father/Daughter dance was already being announced. Other than that, the music was great and everyone danced and had a good time!

just nowNEW Forella events was just phenomenal! I honestly cannot say enough good things about them. We had Justin as our DJ and he made our night a million times better. He is so easy going and is so easy to work with. If there is any song you want played he'll make sure to play it, and same with any bands or songs you hate- he'll make sure they arent played. We cant recommend him enough! We also got the lightning package and its so worth it, the lights go with the music and takes your wedding to the next level. As soon as we had our phone consultation we knew he was the Dj for us. Hes able to read the room and keep the party going.

Forella Events was amazing to work with. I booked with them before the pandemic, and when we had to reschedule our wedding Justin was super helpful and it was so easy. Our DJ, Quinton, was INCREDIBLE. We had a small wedding but he still had people on the dance floor and was so nice and personable. We had absolutely no problems at all with Forella Events and I will definitely be recommending them and DJ Q!

Quinton was an amazing DJ! He kept the party going for our NYE wedding and the dance floor was always packed. I was quite demanding with an extensive do not play, must play and guest requested songs list and he did a great job following all of those! I plan to recommend Quinton to all of my friends in the future.

We feel lucky to have had Derek’s unique insight on our special day. He was very helpful and responsive, not only during the planning process but also on the day of. He fulfilled every request we made to the fullest and did so with the utmost professionalism and kindness. He helped create the atmosphere we had hoped for.

We have not stopped receiving texts and comments from our family and friends about how our wedding was the best wedding that they have EVER been to. DJ Q literally kept the dance floor PACKED all night long, and it didn’t matter what age our guests were! I’ve been to too many weddings where the “DJ” simply sits back and just presses buttons on their computer, which totally kills the entire vibe of the party. So who we chose for a DJ was extremely important to us. Not only did Quinton mix and spin all the songs we wanted to hear, but he read the crowd, interacted with them, entertained, and just really set the whole tone for the best night of our lives. WE HAD SO MUCH FUN!! He even came out on the dance floor and busted a move himself! (He showed us all up but that’s okay 😂). Such a pleasure to work with too! When i mentioned needing a mic for our for ceremony last minute, he was kind enough to drive over to our separate ceremony location before hand to provide a microphone and speaker for our officiant, then run back over to the reception location to finish setting up there. Do yourself a favor and hire Quinton for your wedding or for any party really. I promise you will not regret it and your guests will be thanking you for days!!

Quinton was our DJ for our wedding day and he was the best of the best. He called a week ahead of time to verify timing of everything and song choices. The day of he was on time, and set up quickly. He even worked with us with last minute changes. Throughout the night he was keeping the party going. He would join in on dances to get the party going! All of our guest could not stop talking about how amazing the DJ was. I would recommend Forella Events and specifically Quinton to anybody looking for the perfect wedding or any event you need a DJ for. At the end of the night he tore down all of his equipment quickly as well. Seriously he is 10/10, hire this guy if you want to have a good time.

DJ Forella and Anthony were absolutely fantastic during my wedding. Anthony MC'd the wedding like a true professional and DJ Forella kept everyone dancing. In fact it was hard to get off the dance floor. The equipment was top notch and I would definitely recommend the Photo booth and DJ Booth with the video screen. We've gotten so many compliments. Thank you to the Forella events team for making a once in a lifetime wedding even more memorable.

Sean and DJ Derek were amazing! The dance floor was never empty! It was great to see all of our guests having such a great time! We felt very much at ease with Sean taking charge. Everything went so smoothly! DJ Derek was a master with the music! Would definitely recommend to anyone!

Justin was a terrific addition to our sons wedding! He was a fantastic MC and read the crowd perfectly keeping the party rolling. We highly recommend Justin!

Okay I don't even know what to say here aside from BOOKE THESE GUYS!! I had Justin and Sean at my wedding and they make such a great team. They handled the entire schedule of the night flawlessly and I didn't have to worry about a darned thing, it was very nice. I got so many compliments the days following my wedding for having such a great DJ and MC running the night. The music was fantastic, Sean was right there with us all with a mic on the dance floor keeping the energy up, it was just such a good time. Even with no power (June 4th was a very hot day) they still managed to make the night unforgettable. (we had a generator).

We had Justin for our DJ at our wedding and he was so nice and amazing at what he does. Got the crowd going and knew when to play what songs. They are very professional as well. We also had some unique circumstances in our wedding including a surprise toast and events done out of the typical order. Justin did a great job managing a non traditional reception while still keeping everyone engaged and excited. On top of that, we had a last minute request for someone on his team to do our ceremony and they accommodated to our needs. Such a great team to work with! Highly recommend.

Forella Events is absolutely amazing!!! Justin and Sean were so great to work with and my husband, myself and all of our guests cannot stop talking about how amazing they were!! Everyone was on the dance floor all night long! They played so many great songs to get everyone out of on the dance floor. Hire Forella Events immediately!!! You will not regret it, I promise!

We couldn't have been happier with our dj. If you're looking for a specific DJ through this vendor. We recommend Quinton, he was amazing! He took a few of our ideas and meshed a perfect wedding music block. Even his introductions were perfect. We had many compliments on how a great our DJ was.

Quinton definitely knows how to entertain a crowd! Our wedding reception was so much fun! So many of our guests told us what a great time they had and how they thought Quinton was phenomenal! We had a blast dancing the night away!

Quinton was amazing! The dance floor was packed the whole night! He arrived early for set-up and played the perfect music throughout the ceremony and reception! I would highly recommend him and have already referred him to multiple friends!!

Justin is INCREDIBLE! He was so much fun to talk to and work with and even brought a fancy photo booth with him!! We had a smaller wedding than what we originally wanted, but I am SO thankful that we still decided to have him come out and host our event because he KILLED IT! To this day we still have people telling us how much fun they had at our wedding and I totally agree with them! I still wonder how in the heck he was able to read the crowd SO well!! He knew EXACTLY what to play and when to keep people on the dance floor and respected everything we wanted! Talking to him right before the wedding PUMPED ME UP because he was just as excited as we were! AND! He was able to find a clip of Bruce Buffer saying “iiiiiits TIME!” For when my husband and I walked into the reception and that seriously made my husband’s ENTIRE day! He is EXTREMELY accommodating and SO much fun to work with!! Justin, you are the BEST!!!! Highly recommend him and will DEFINITELY reach out if I ever need a DJ again!

Justin was our DJ at our wedding and I couldn't have asked for a better DJ. Throughout the planning process he was very easy to work with and very understanding. The day of the wedding he was on time and kept party going all night. Everyone still talks about how much fun they had dancing and celebrating with us. I would recommend him to any bride that is planning a wedding. You will not regret booking with this company.

Shaun and Derek were the life of the party at the wedding! I cannot recommend Forella Events more. Sean and Derek kept the party going all night, and got rave reviews from the guests. You'll definitely want to splurge for the MC. Shaun was the hype man of the night and kept everyone involved and entertained. They we're also very through in their pre-wedding planning and really listened to everything we wanted. We also got our photo-booth through them and the guests loved it. Wish I could give them a 6/5. Thank you Forella events!

Quinton was our DJ for our wedding and I can not say enough good things about him! He nailed every single part of our wedding. Kept everything in line, played all the songs we asked for and even got on the dance floor to dance with us. I wish I could give more stars because he was that great!! Kept in contact with us throughout all the Covid craziness and really made our fairy tale wedding absolutely perfect! People are still talking about how great the DJ was! Thank you, Q!!!

My husband and I hired Forella Events to provide a DJ and entertainment for our wedding and that was one of the BEST decisions we could have ever made. As a professional wedding photographer, I have worked with countless DJ's and knew that I needed to hire someone that was good at what they did and provided a fun atmosphere for our guests. From the minute that we inquired to the minute we left for our honeymoon, Forella Events was quick to respond, super helpful, and willing to provide advice when we needed it. We hired them for our ceremony and reception and with out them our night would not have gone as smooth. As a bride and groom our only hope and wish was that we hired a DJ that would keep the dance floor going because that was super important to us. My husband and I LOVE to dance and we wanted to have the party go on all night. Forella Events did just that and made the party SO fun! We have had countless guests tell us that our wedding was the BEST reception they have expereinced in a while. As a wedding professional, I would agree, not only because it was my wedding, but also because Forella Events did a phenomenal job with song choice and reading the crowd to make sure everyone was enjoying themselves. There was never a moment that the dance floor was empty once open dancing began. I promise you, if you hire them, you will not regret your decision at all! We truly are thankful for Justin and his team and will be recommending them to anyone we know! I cannot wait to work with Forella events as a wedding professional in the future and will be recommending this company to all of my wedding couples! Thank you for making our night so memorable for us, our family and friends!

Quinton was absolutely incredible. He executed exactly what we wanted to play at our wedding, and read the crowd so well. He knew how to get people dancing!! He was so chill and accommodating. We never felt rushed or stressed - he was very on top of things. I actually felt like I’d known him forever because he made such a connection with us (bride and groom) and the crowd. He even got on the dance floor with us at one point, but not in an invasive way (I was so glad because he taught us the wobble 😂). He made our wedding an absolute blast and we are so thankful he was our DJ.

Quinton was absolutely amazing! He was accommodating between the ceremony and reception. Great transition from song to song during reception, read the crowd well, great variety in music, and kept people on the dance floor the whole night! He also brought his own stuff and was on time. Easy to get in contact with as well. We would recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ!!

My husband and I really enjoyed working with Forella Events! They were recommended by a friend that got married 2 years before our wedding and they were exactly what we were looking for! Very easy to communicate with and our guests were on the dance floor all night long!

Justin was perfect! He was so professional and so prepared but at the same time so much fun and made our wedding truly wonderful for us and our guests. You also cannot beat his price anywhere else in the area.

Justin was THE BEST DJ EVER! his personality was great, he helped with keeping us on schedule and was just genuinely a super nice person. The dance floor was packed all night at our wedding and that's exactly what we had hoped for! Highly recommend!

Justin and Sean killed it at our wedding! Justin made sure that all the music flowed seamlessly incorporating all of the requested songs. Sean the MC kept the dance floor full the entire night with his contagious energy. They were a great team with a great set up. The DJ booth with TV screen allowed us to show a slideshow of our engagement photos. The lighting was a great touch that changed the room from dinner mode to party mode. Loved this DJ!

We hired Forella events for our wedding this past Friday and only have positive things to say. Justin was quick and responsive during the arrangement stages. Q was our DJ and he was awesome during the entire reception, dealing with all of my families last minute requests, and even before by reaching out to verify all our last minute details. If you are looking for an awesome, stress free DJ company I would definitely recommend Forella Events- you won't be disappointed! Thank you for the great time Q!

My husband and I hired Forella Events for our wedding and we are so glad we did! Everything was perfect from the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner and throughout the entire night. Justin was very professional from the beginning, making it an easy choice to hire Forella Events. He made the whole process very easy and was accommodating to any request we had. The day of our wedding, Justin arrived early to set up for the ceremony and reception to make sure everything was perfect... and it was just that! Justin had guests of all ages out on the dance floor and could definitely read the crowd. He was very attentive to our needs as the bride and groom as well. Our guests had so many compliments for the DJ, saying it was one of the best weddings they have been to, having a great time on the dance floor! If you are in need of a DJ, I would highly recommend Forella Events!! Thank you Justin for making our wedding so memorable!

DJ Q was phenomenal. Couldn’t ask for a better DJ. He got everyone up and dancing and there was a big diversity of people at my wedding. We also had another singer and band and they worked extremely well together to give it a very unique and multicultural vibe. Everyone had an amazing time and he was a major part of that. Would highly recommend to anyone if your looking for a pro, and an overall good guy!

We used Forella (247 entertainment) events for our wedding on August 17th. We had DJ Derek and he was amazing!! It was super easy to get a hold of him throughout the planning process and was always just a text or phone call away. I found this company through the knot app and was hesitant about booking them at first because the music is SO important to a wedding and we didn't know anyone who had used them in the past but they definitely did not disappoint. Our dance floor was packed the entire night and Derek did a great job or making sure all our guest (of all ages) had a great time. He checked in all throughout the night to make sure we were happy with things and was very friendly. Would highly them to anyone. Oh also- the photo booth we used from them was a HUGE hit. It was not your typical photo booth and was pretty high tech and we received so many positive comments about it afterwards. Derek, thank you again for such a great night!

I can’t begin to tell you how great it was working with Justin. He is extremely professional, is really easy to work with, and is amazingly good and what he does. We received rave reviews from guests of all age groups about how good he was, and the dance floor was packed the entire night! If you are looking for someone that will make your wedding day perfect, look no further than Justin. We can not recommend him enough and I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to hire him again. Thanks for an amazing night Justin!

We can't say enough good things to say!!! Justin ROCKED our wedding!! He was super prepared before the wedding and was really flexible with some changes that happened. He worked so great with our other vendors and kept the dance floor alive. He totally got the "vibe" and did sucha good job flowing with it. HIRE HIM AND YOU WON'T REGRET IT!!!
