I hired Fresh New Angle for photography, videography, and DJ services for my wedding on June 28th, 2024. Leading up to the event and on the day itself, communication was excellent—no complaints there. However, the post-wedding experience was far from what I expected. Despite multiple requests for updates, I didn’t receive my wedding video until mid September, and when I finally watched it, I was incredibly disappointed. It was missing key moments, and there were bizarre additions, like an "addlib" during my father's speech that said “damnnnnnn.” I felt that this was extremely unnecessary and inappropriate.
After several back-and-forth conversations with Chuckie, the owner, we finally received a revised video in November. While Chuckie did handle the situation well, there was a lot of finger-pointing at the team for the issues, which was frustrating. I was told many times that these issues were happening because of a new software or program they were trying out for the company and it was failing so this meant I had to endure the repercussions of their decisions.
Given the reputation of Fresh New Angle and the significant amount of money I invested, I expected a much more seamless process. Unfortunately, the lack of proper communication and coordination was a major letdown.
To make matters worse, my photo album, which cost me nearly $700, wasn’t delivered until January 6th. Once again, this was something I had to chase after and request multiple times.
While I can recommend Fresh New Angle for their DJ services, I can't say the same for their photography and videography. With so many other companies out there, if I could do it over again, I would have chosen a different provider.

Madison, thank you for your very open and honest review of our company. While we always s...
trive to put our best foot forward with regards to our client experience, we aren’t always perfect. It truly was a pleasure working with you, and the time you took to be understanding with us in regards to delays was a blessing and we do thank you for that.
We are happy to know that, at the end of the day, you were pleased and overall satisfied with the end deliverables you received, though you were not happy with the delays in getting those deliverables from your contract with us. Like all businesses, when growth happens there are sometimes growing pains, which was the case with this situation. While this does not absolve us of our responsibility to you as our client, and certainly you are right in saying that you shouldn’t have had to endure any repercussions that were a result of our growing pains, I do hope it helps explain a bit better and serves to show that it is not the “norm” for our company. Communication is of the utmost importance to us, and we sincerely apologize for the lack of communication on our end and any inconveniences it caused you.
Again, we truly thank you for your up front and honest review. We do take it very much to heart, and with it you have helped us grow more as a company so we can continue putting our client experience at the top of the priority list, growing pains or not. We wish you and your husband nothing but the very best in your beautiful marriage, and we consider it an honor that we were able to share that special day with you."

FNA was amazing. Mike Van Houten and Chuckie were a dynamic duo. Mike met with my husband and I prior to our wedding to plan the perfect amount of hype. When I say perfect amount of hype, I mean... NO ONE ever stopped dancing, which was exactly what we wanted. They made my husband's dream come true by letting him play the drums to the songs he wanted to all whilst keeping the crowd dancing. The vibes, lights, music, entertainment, photobooth... entire package was 100000% worth every single penny. I highly recommend Mike Van Houten and Chuckie both and if you're lucky enough to have them together, then prepare to have nothing but an amazing time at your wedding or event. We absolutely cannot thank them enough for making our wedding dreams come true and for being a part of the best days of our lives.

Fresh New Angle was absolutely AMAZING for our event! We had Chuck booked before we even had a venue picked out! From the start, he was so great to work with. He absolutely got our guests off their feet and dancing, and truly made the night one to remember. We also used Fresh New Angle for our photography, photo booth and lighting and they were all AMAZING! Logan, our photographer, was incredible! She was so easy to work with and made the entire experience easy and memorable! Fresh New Angle was the best decision we could have made. Thank you for making our special day unforgettable!

Stephanie and Ramon, what an amazing time. I love how you incorporated the star wars theme...
into your wedding. Your event was unique and fun. the Mariachi band for cocktail house was a wonderful touch. One of my favorite moment was watching both of your parents get after it on the dancefloor. Me and and my DJ Mike Van Houten were honored to rock the house. The highlights from Logan our photographer are amazing and I am so glad we got to capture all the moments. Cant wait to party with your at the next wedding. (one where you can both be guests.)

Truly an amazing vendor! We found them through a bridal show and were excited to schedule to meet with them and go over what we were looking for. From the start they made us feel comfortable and confident in our choice. They were budget friendly, without compromising quality and truly played a big role in making our wedding night amazing. We worked mostly with John, who was GREAT, and would highly recommend FNA to anyone looking for great entertainment!

We hired Fresh New Angle for our photography for our wedding on Sat. Sept 14, 2019 in Hershey, PA. Tim Anderson was AMAZING! We had only attended one Wedding Expo while engaged and from that expo, I knew I had to have Tim as our photographer. He was very calm, professional, and personable. And his photos, well those were breathtaking! We had a second photographer, Kevin, who was also amazing and very professional (although I had less interaction with him as he captured most of the moments with the Groom and party getting ready).
He was even more of a dream to work with! He met with us closer to the wedding to go through details. He made sure to meet with us somewhere that was convenient, walked through some of the specifics and then made some amazing suggestions for our day. He also was very open to listening to some of the requests we had.
As for the day of, he was exactly what a Bride wants for a photographer. He took the photos of all of the little intricate details and then moved on to the big stuff. He was again, very professional and very polished with his approach. He adjusted according to the weather changes, had great suggestions for various shots, and made sure that the groom and I had some private time for the first look, before including any bridal party or family. We were able to accomplish some of our photos before hand so we could enjoy our cocktail hour with the guests.
During the reception, he had edited about 40 photos from earlier in the day, so our guests could see moments that they weren't part of. Even our venue coordinator was blown away! The images were pure magic and beautiful. He captured moments throughout the night and before he left, checked in to make sure he had captured key moments we wanted. Tim is fantastic and I could not recommend him more!

Chuck was great — all the way through. From the moment I walked into the door to meet him all the way to the last dance of our wedding, Chuck and FNA were all about making our special day so much more special. We had a blast. Communication is key with vendors and he was always open to talking or meeting whenever was best for the both of us. You will never be worried with Chuck at the helm.
By the time we got to the reception venue, they were already set up with nothing to worry about on our end. (Extremely stress-free for us, extremely professional for them.) We even made some last minute adjustments and Chuck and his team were able to adjust so smoothly. DJ Meatball was on point with the songs and the transitions. Jamaal was great with the hype. Chuck and the team got everyone on the dance floor all night. When the dancing started, there was really no point the rest of the night when the dance floor was empty except of course when the entrees were served. They even had some surprises that just lit up the party. We chose to use Dancing on the Clouds and it was well worth it. Everyone was raving about them and still raving about them even after several weeks after the wedding. I’d recommend Chuck and FNA to anyone.
Thank you for the unforgettable night! Thank you for the memories! We love FNA!

Kyle Short was our MC and officiant at our wedding last night and we could not be happier that he was. He is truly phenomenal. His confidence in the whole planning process was comforting, we knew we were in good hands and that he was going to make sure it was a great night but he far exceeded those expectations. As an officiant, Kyle was perfect for us. He understood exactly what we wanted and executed it perfectly. People keep complimenting the ceremony and also asking us how long we’ve known Kyle. Kyle and our DJ kept the party going the entire night! The dance floor was full the whole night but they also kept a good balance of not making it so that the guests at their tables couldnt hear eachother to have a conversation. It was perfect.

Fresh New Angles gave us a wedding that we won't and our guests won't ever forget. They knew how to bring the house down and get everyone partying.
Family memebers who we never seen dance got on the floor because of all the energy.
We decided to go ahead and add in a percussionist and he was worth it. He added another element to an already awesome package that toom it to the next level!!!
Chuck and his team were great to work worth and I recommend them to anyone. You won't regret it!!!

We had John Freda as our DJ for our wedding on August 3rd and we seriously could not be happier with his service!!! He was responsive, easy to work with, and very accommodating. I was amazed with his ability to edit songs for our ceremony if I wanted certain parts cut out. It sounded so natural! Everything was seamless from the ceremony to the cocktail hour to the reception, and he was able to keep the party going all night long! It seemed that everyone kept dancing! John also was very considerate to keep the volume at a comfortable volume for all of our guests which I really appreciated. I did not feel deaf after leaving my wedding! I highly recommend John and Fresh New Angle Events!!

How, Where, When, Who, Why to start our review of Chuck and his team at Fresh New Angle Productions. My husband and I decided on our wedding date with a little more than six months of planning to go. Our vision and choices revolved around avoiding the cookie cutter, main stream style venue and production teams for our eventual "show". When it finally came time to stop procrastinating, my husband's light bulb went off. One day out of no where he said, "Chuck". So he reached out to Chuck and clued him in on our upcoming wedding. Without any hesitation, Chuck said "sure, let's set up a meeting". Even before going into our meeting at his office in Holmdel, we knew. In Chuck's words, "I love a shotgun wedding" once he learned that our date was just a few months away. From that point on, Chuck worked diligently and tirelessly behind the scenes prepping his team for what would become a "production" of productions. As our day approached, arrived and concluded, Chuck and Fresh New Angle dropped the mic and curtain on our wedding. From the personalities, the professionalism, the personalization, and so on, without Chuck and Fresh New Angle Productions, your wedding will just be that.....a wedding. With Chuck and Fresh New Angle it is more than that....it's a production and a party for the ages and memories to last a lifetime. For all the Brides and Grooms that are reading this review, if you have yet to choose a "production" company for your music, entertainment and photography, look no further. If you have yet to meet or run into Chuck at one of the many Bridal Expos across New Jersey, make sure you do. Finally, the "what" that sets Chuck apart and makes your wedding standout. It's not just his amazing personality and dedication to you, it's his "passion" and his "heart" for you on "your" day to remember. Get out there and find Chuck at a Bridal expo to see him in action or pick up the phone and call Fresh New Angle.
Chuck & Fresh New Angle Productions, THANK YOU for turning our wedding into a "production" of #losingthelopez.

Where do I begin?! FNA was so much fun to work with, from our first meeting to our Sunday night wedding - my husband and I didn't have to worry about a thing! We booked DJ, percussionist, photography, videography, and Photo Booth through FNA and couldn't be happier with our choice. DJ/MC - Chuck & Mike made a great team, Chuck has such a contagious energy that kept our guests dancing all night long. Percussionist - Steve, added an unexpected and interactive touch that guests raved about and even got to enjoy playing themselves. Photography team - Tim, Marley, and Erskine were such a calming but fun team to work with that took the stress of photographs, timing, locations, and poses off of our minds because they were so well organized and on top of it - the pictures we have seen so far are beautiful and I cannot wait to see the rest!!! Videography - Kevin, so much fun to work with and not an "in your face" type of videography that I was so worried about - we barely noticed he was there once the night got started! I am so thankful we decided to add Kevin to the team last minute, we captured incredible moments from first looks to speeches and everything in-between and I cannot wait to see the final production and cry like a baby. We cannot recommend FNA enough! Thank you all for an amazing night!

If you want to have the BEST wedding, the wedding everyone will talk about for years after, you HAVE to have FNA for you wedding.
Kyle was our DJ and MC for the wedding, he was a pleasure to work with the whole way leading up to the wedding. I knew I could count on him to make our reception a blast. And honestly, that's an under statement.
Kyle and Chuck care about their clients and want everything to be perfect. I gave Kyle a few "requests" but I knew I could leave everything up to him. People were up and dancing all night. We had the "dancing on clouds" for our first dance, and the extra uplighting, and "CO2" cannons towards the end to keep the party going. Everything was spectacular.
If I didn't already have my photo/video booked when I found FNA, I would've definitely booked with them. Let FNA handle everything. Kyle and Chuck are great, honest guys and really know what they're doing. I need to have another big party so I get to work with FNA again soon! You guys rock!

You will not regret booking FNA for your wedding day! The crew of FNA know how to party and will make your wedding day awesome with music, lights, etc! The entire staff was beyond friendly and would go above and beyond to help you if you had any questions. Booking them was one of the easiest decisions we made for our wedding. We had John Freda the day of our wedding and he is the absolute best. He LOVED our Star Wars themed wedding and helped us craft the best music for an epic dance party. Stop your searching, you've found the best choice!

My husband and I are so happy we decided to use Fresh New Angle Events to DJ at our wedding! From the first meeting to the day of the wedding Chuck was so easy to work with and was always available to answer any questions we may have had. The online event planner was so easy to use and really helped me plan out my special day! Chuck and DJ Meatball did an amazing job the day of the wedding and kept the guest engaged and out on the dance floor! They were fun and extremely professional!
Chuck also helped our day run smoothly and worked closely with our other vendors (caterer and photographer) to make sure everything went according to plan!
We had an outdoor wedding and Chuck and DJ Meatball had three different setups - ceremony, cocktail hour and reception in three different locations and they were able to seamlessly set up and have things up and running effectively. They really worked to make our dream wedding a reality !

LOVE these guys. They worked with us and made our wedding AMAZING. I got married last Sunday (5/19/19) and they exceeded my expectations. They were accommodating from the second we booked them. We discussed necessary topics via text, which made it so easy. But they also were available to talk on the phone if needed. They had a wedding planning form online which was SUPER simple to use and self explanatory. My (then) fiancé flipped out a bit about his tux not fitting right and made it difficult for them to get the “getting ready” photographs whehn they originally were going to. They worked with him and ended up successfully still getting the photos. The first look was magical. They caught so many different faces and different angles. The 30 photos we saw ahead of time are beautiful. I can’t wait to see the rest and the video. Also, the photo booth guy (nick) was mad cool and upgraded us and made that part of the night also unforgettable in itself. Chuck ran the show like a pro. Everything was so much fun. Mike and tim were great! I would say it a million times: USE FRESH NEW ANGLE.. they are the AWESOME! Thanks so much guys!

Choosing Fresh New Angle was the best decision we could have possibly made for our wedding. The entire company was so incredibly professional, easy to work with and their work was amazing. Our MC and DJ kept all our guests dancing. Our photographer, wow! Our photos came out absolutely amazing and the photographer even had a slideshow to photos playing on a screen during the reception. I never once had to worry about anything regarding each member of this team. I cannot speak highly enough about this company and wish I could tell everyone to use them for your wedding. You will not regret it.

An absolute pleasure working with! The whole team was AMAZING! The music was on point and everyone was dancing before dinner... The dance floor was never empty. Chuck is by far the BEST DJ in the area. Mike is so creative that I couldn't stop watching my video teaser of the wedding day. Tim is so calm and knows how to get the perfect shot without hesitation (it's going to be VERY hard to pick out photos for my album) and Eric is a master at the saxophone. Once again I cannot THANK the FNA team enough. I HIGHLY recommend them for everything.. they will make your wedding day ever more special.

We had a 6-hour reception and our DJs (Kyle & Kode) made sure our dance floor was full the whole night. Leading up to the big day, Kyle was responsive and helped us to feel confident that we would fit in everything we were planning. They were also flexible at the wedding, like when a bridesmaid decided to sing, and a guest wanted to DJ with them. Our guests agreed that the entertainment was top notch! However, there were two little things that I want to point out. First, we indicated on our contract that we were expecting our vendors to wear tuxedos, as it was a formal reception. Kode did, but Kyle did not. That alone isn’t enough to change my rating, and I will still recommend FNA in the future, but brides, be firm and clear about your expectations! The second thing is regarding the playlist. You are allowed 20 MUST PLAY songs, and then 60 requests. If I could do it over, I would have spent less time on the request list and emphasized the must play list. My twin sister and I always dance to Runaround Sue, which was on the mandatory list (with a note indicating why), but that song was not played. It wouldn’t be a big deal except that my sister and I only had one or two pictures together, and had the song been played, we would have had many more. Again, not a deal-breaker or a rating-reducer, but I recommend that future brides really think about what is important to you and stress that. Let the DJs worry about the rest of the playlist. They are experts at reading the crowd and if you let them do their thing, they will make your wedding memorable!

We worked with Kyle at FNA events for our wedding and his energy and professionalism set him apart from the competition in this industry. He worked with us to stay within budget and we were very happy with him and his teams services on the actual wedding day. He was very responsive on email and took the worry and stress out of it all. He even printed our vows for us for the day of AND framed them for us. We ended up going with a percussionist who was excellent and kept the crowd very entertained. Kyle's energy is contagious and he had the crowd dancing all night. He stayed late to make sure everything was cleaned up and went smoothly. My wife and I very much recommended him. We also went with his photographer Carlos and videographer Mike. We haven't received any photos or video yet since the wedding just occurred this month but they also we're very professional, punctual, and enjoyable to work with the day of. If you are looking for a one stop shop for all your needs and incredible quality, go with FNA.

We had Logan and Kevin as our photographers. They had such great ideas for our photos. The photos from our engagement session with Logan were amazing and we can’t wait to see how our wedding photos come out!
Thank you for providing us such an awesome team to help make our day PERFECT! We definitely made the right decision picking FNA. They never disappoint! My sister is using their DJ services for her wedding in May, and we can’t wait to party with them again!

If there is anybody I would tell people to check out for any entertainment purposes.. it would be FNA events!! They made the whole process easy and fun! They worked with me with payments and making my big day run smoothly! I meey Kyle at the Edison Show and i was ready to leave the show kyle caught my attention and made an instant connection and him being so personable felt like i was talking to a friend id known forever! Two days later i contacted him and we ended up using them for dj and photographer services. Tim was phenominal!! My highlight shots were soo beautiful i look foward to seeing them all. They brought the house down during my wedding and got everyone up and dancing!! These guys are a one stop shop and you wouldnt be disappointed!

These guys were absolutely perfect for my wedding. I liked Kyle so much as soon as I met him I knew I wanted him to be our officiant! The detail and professionalism that comes from FNA was very comforting and I knew they would get the job done. I feel that we have found a friend with Kyle and the whole team! From start to finish, they were so focused on the details, making us happy, and most importantly, throwing one heck of a party! They definitely are the best ever!

My husband and I had our wedding on October 14th at The English Manor in Ocean Twp. I had an entertainment company (guy) that I had originally signed with, and let me tell you, I am SOOOO happy that I decided on Fresh New Angle for all my entertainment needs. They are so much more than just a DJ, MC, photographer, and videographer. Everyone could not stop talking about how amazing Tim was, as he not only took pictures, but he helped the men with their boutonnieres, helped me with my veil and train of my dress, and even successfully bribed our ring bearers to pose for pictures. He arrived promptly at the hotel early in the AM, and he managed to get all the photo ops that I had requested. We had a small family related hiccup right before I walked down the aisle and Kyle handled it so professionally. I had a different vision than the norm regarding song choices throughout the evening as my husband and I absolutely love country music. Kyle supported my song choices and made sure everything blended perfectly. They definitely had the party going all night long and the dance floor was never empty. The same day editing photo option was such a huge hit as well. I really can not recommend Fresh New Angle enough. If you go with another company, you're doing it all wrong.

It’s been exactly a year to the day since our wedding and every time I think back to how fun this day was, it starts with FNA. The old saying goes “you get what you pay for” I would pay a hundred times over to have this dynamic company. I’ve been to weddings after ours, and I really can’t help but to compare our FNA family to the others out there. They blow everyone else out of the water. From Tim being the BEST at his photography skills (& I have amazing shots that I can look back on forever) Mike, being amazing with his videography ( get the videography! Trust me, you will cherish the videos forever) and Chuck & Kode Blue, who brought the party we dreamed of to life. Played every song we asked, had my guests laughing and dancing all night!! We also had lighting that specifically went along with the music to enhance the reception room. And I can’t forget the amazing & fun photo booth attendants, who were so helpful and fun to be around. The entire FNA crew was sweet, personable, punctual, professional, and made us feel like family. FNA was the best decision for our day. I will forever be grateful that they made our wedding day the most fun day of our lives!

We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ Company than FNA!
John & Joel were amazing on our wedding night despite some of the terms from the venue. John kept checking on us to make sure things were going the way we wanted. He kept everyone on the dance floor and guests were able to mingle and coversate without having to scream. Our videographer Kevin was awesome as well.
I would recommend this company to anyone. Chuck & Kyle, Thank you for welcoming us and making us feel that we would not be disappointed. You guys rock!!!

I had accidentally stumbled upon Fresh New Angle when they were at a Bridal Show that I was attending. They were playing fun music and focused on getting the audience involved and up on the dance floor to dance. I knew this was the DJ I wanted at my wedding! When I went to their office to meet with the staff, I knew I had picked the right people! Chuck and Kyle are SUPER sweet and funny and you can just tell that their main goal is to you and your guests to have an awesome time! My husband and I got married on October 5, 2018 and we had Kyle as our MC and Kode Blue playing the music. They both did such an AWESOME job. They played all types of music genres to appeal to my guests of all ages - the dance floor was filled from the beginning to end of my reception! I received so many compliments from my guests! If I had to do it all over again, I wouldn’t even consider another DJ!

Fresh New Angel went above and beyond. Their whole entire team was a complete joy to work with and made our day completely perfect. Our photographers, Carlos and Logan, and video Mike Large, were so much fun to spend the whole day with and our entire wedding day was spent laughing and having fun with them along our side. Our samples we have received so far are FLAWLESS and we can not wait to see the rest. Wouldn’t change a single thing!

Where do I even start?! We knew we wanted FNA to be at our wedding from the very first bridal show we saw them at. We went last minute about a week after we got engaged, just for fun, and ran into two of most energetic guys we have ever met. Ever since that first initial interaction I couldn't get them out of my head. Chuck and Kyle invited us into their office for a formal meeting, where we felt very welcomed. They showed us everything they offer as a company from the amazing lighting to the beautiful videos, dancing on the clouds, photos and much more! We went over everything we wanted, and they were very open to working within our budget. They were open and honest about what was important to have and what we didn't really need. We knew we could trust them. They generally cared about us, and not just making the money. From the moment we booked them, Kyle and Chuck were there to answer any questions we had and give their advice at any time of the day. (Even when I was sending them my final song choices at 11:55pm the night before the wedding.) We had Kyle marry us, which we are glad we did. He wrote up a beautiful ceremony and customized it to us. We were laughing the entire time as well as our guests. We had Mike film our wedding and we couldn't be happier with what we have seen. The footage he captured and the editing skills he has is beyond what we expected. He is amazing at what he does! He was easy to be around as we were getting ready, you barely knew he was there. He wasn't all up in your face which was nice. These guys are so chill to work with. The energy that Chuck has will wake up any room that he is in. He was all over the dance floor dancing with the guests and getting them up out of their seats. It truly was a great night and we owe it all to FNA! They kept the party going and played the best music the entire time. They listened to us when we told them what we didn't want played either, which was important! If you want the party to keep going all night long, then look no further! Chuck and Kyle from FNA are your guys! If you can fit it into your budget to have them together definitely do it. They truly are a dynamic duo! I wish we could redo the whole night again just for the party! Im hoping in the future we have an event that we need a DJ for, just so we can book them again! Thank you guys for everything you did! We couldn't of been happier with your service! Thank you Thank you THANK YOU!!

Fresh New Angle was the best DJ I could have ever booked for our wedding. From the very first call, I knew this was going to be the perfect match and boy was I right! As a Disney fanatic, when I first called, they were playing a Lion King remix and I was in love. Chuck was so easy to work with, funny and the most down to earth guy! We had to make a few changes right before our entrances at the reception and Chuck just went with it and didn’t get mad or make anything tough! My friends and family had blast and it’s all thanks to Chuck, Kyle & the team! All of the lighting they offer is also extremely worth it! I would absolutely use them again for any party we have later on! Thank you Fresh New Angle!!

Chuck was exactly what my wedding needed. We have a very acclectic taste in music: country, pop, punk, doo wop, you name it. He was able to give us a taste of everything and keep everyone on the dance floor. We also had lawn games for people who don’t like dancing and he was able to get people up and moving on the lawn as well! Chuck and his team are experienced and know how to throw a party! We loved working with FNA!

I met Fresh New Angle at a bridal show. When I told them I was getting married in the Bahamas, they said they would travel with us! We hired Tim as our photographer and Mike as our videographer. They were amazing! The moments they captured for us are incredible. I also worked with Kyle to plan out the details. Everyone was very professional and so much fun to get to know. I would highly recommend Fresh New Angle to anyone!

Fresh New Angles is very professional,easy to work with, and fun. My wedding was 2 weeks ago and everything ran smoothly. Tim and Kevin are fabulous photographers who were able to catch every shot I wanted and sincerely cared about what I wanted. They are also flexible, I was nervous because the golf course I wanted to take photos at flooded and we couldn’t use it. They were able to find amazing shots at the venue. The photos I have seen so far I absolutely love. John and Steve had everyone on the dance floor all night long, and Steve’s drumming was killer and added to the party! They had so much energy and kept the reception running smoothly. They played every song I requested and mixed it well. The photo booth was also a big hit. Tamara was wonderful! Overall it was a fantastic experience and I would not going with any other company.

I can't begin to describe how much Fresh New Angle made our wedding day incredible! I met some of the guys at a bridal show and knew they were who we needed to keep people dancing at our wedding. Kyle was amazing and had an answer for all my questions. Kyle and Steve kept the energy up at all times and listen to our music requests. The percussions were a very exciting bonus! We also ended up getting our Photo Booth from FNA. The attendants were great too!
Kyle also officiated our ceremony. It was exactly what we wanted: funny but thoughtful.
Tim Anderson from FNA was our photographer. He knew exactly what pictures to take and gave me a heads up for the layout of that day.
Fresh New Angle made the day run smoothly which helped me enjoy the day instead of worrying. Thank you for making our day perfect!!

I have nothing but great things to say about the FNA team. We used FNA for every aspect of entertainment at our wedding and everything came out perfect. Each member of the team was professional but personable. They made us feel like our wedding was as important to them, as it was to us.
Tim is one of the most talented photographers you'll ever meet and he definitely makes sure to get everything you want. He even reworked the contracted times to make sure that we would have even time for getting ready pictures. Mike did an amazing job with the video. He makes sure to make you look your best and will film things in more than one angle when necessary. The photobooth and props were a huge hit as well.
Chuck and Rob are definitely the right choice if you want everyone to be up dancing and having a great time. Chuck was our MC and he kept the party alive as well as taking time to personally congratulate us during the reception. Rob was our DJ and played an amazing mix of music that was a hit with everyone from our 20 something year old friends to our 92 year old great grandmother.
I highly recommend the FNA team to anyone and everyone who wants their wedding entertainment in the hands of people who care just as much as you do. Trust me FNA will make sure everything is perfect!

Where do we even begin! We met Chuck, Kyle and Tim at a bridal show at Ocean Place and before we even walked over to talk to them Kayla was demanding that we book them for our wedding. What initially drew us in were Chuck and Kyle’s outgoing personalities and sense of humor along with Tim’s amazing photos on display. When we formally met with the guys, they walked us through all of the options that we could include in our wedding day and they showed us tons of examples through videos and pictures. They did an awesome job of making us feel comfortable and helping us understand what was worth spending extra on and what was ok to pass on, they never pressured us, they listened to what we wanted and put together a package that included exactly what we envisioned for our wedding and within our budget. It may seem like the process prior to the actual wedding is not important but trust me, the sense of security you get from working with down to earth, reliable and competent individuals is priceless. They took care of absolutely everything, they always updated us, they always answered us and most importantly they never made us feel like we were bothering them or not important. Our photo portion of the package included engagement photos which Tim Andersen nailed for us. He took us to an awesome spot down the shore and even was able to incorporate our yellow lab Paisley into them. Last minute I decided to give in to Kayla and add the video onto our package which we HIGHLY recommend. At first, I didn’t think it would be necessary, ignoring people repeatedly telling us the day goes by so fast, they are right, the day goes by so incredibly fast and we are so grateful that we had Mike Large filming the day for us, I can’t imagine our wedding being over and not having the video footage from it, do not skip out on this part!!! The actual wedding day was perfect, they showed up early, they told us what was going on, when it was going on and they always double checked with us to make sure they had it exactly how we wanted. We never for a second had to stop enjoying our moment to worry about what they were doing because they were busy making our day as perfect as they had promised. Tim and Mike took pictures and videos of us getting ready, set up our first look, rode the bus with us to the beach for more pictures, Chuck and Kyle set everything up for the ceremony, Kyle married us and did it perfectly. They organized our huge bridal parties for entrances, they had our first dance “on the clouds” and from the moment our guests walked in they never let the party stop. Our Sunday Funday wedding was absolutely perfect and a HUGE part of that was because of how perfect Kyle, Chuck, Tim, Mike and DJ Kode Blue are at FNA. If you are considering booking with these guys, do it, if you are considering doing “Chyle Style” do it, if you are considering the video, don’t even think about it, just do it. The last part of my review will be about Tim Andersen one more time, this guy is awesome. Taking pictures is awkward for most and he makes you feel beyond comfortable. Oh and he edited and posted about 30 photos an hour after our ceremony which is absolutely unheard of! The amount of people that came up to us or messaged us to ask how he did that is insane because what he did was insane. We can’t say enough about him and the rest of the guys at FNA, they are the best and deserve every bit of this review. Do your wedding day a favor and book with FNA!!!

From start to finish FNA Events has been absolutely amazing! We used them for Dj, Percussion, Photo, and Video. We knew we wanted them for our wedding after they worked our friends wedding we attended. Chuck is truly amazing at what he does and is the best MC with the greatest upbeat personality! Kode Blue and Rob were our DJs and kept the party going the entire night. I said I wanted it like a club and that's exactly what it was like... a nonstop party. Tim and Mike our photographer and videographer were so thorough, calm, and patient being that we had a huge bridal party . The pictures we have seen already are amazing and I can't wait to see our video. Both were true professionals. Last but not least, Tommy our percussionist truly made the party next level. I have gotten so many compliments on him and on our wedding. We couldn't have asked for a better company to service our special day. DON'T HESITATE TO BOOK! You won't regret it.

We saw Fresh New Angle at my cousin's wedding last June and always had them in the back of our mind when we got engaged and starting planning our wedding. From our first meeting with Kyle we knew FNA had everything we needed to make our wedding perfect. We used them for all services, DJ, photo and video. Kyle and Kode Blue kept our party going all night. We asked them to make sure everyone kept dancing and they did not disappoint. Kode Blue is a master at his craft. Kyle has a great sense of humor and kept us smiling and ran the night without a hitch. Logan was our photographer and she is an amazing artist. She was able to manage our large bridal party and kept us moving, without missing a beat. We saw a few teaser photos within a day of our wedding and they are gorgeous. We can't wait to see the rest! Tim was with us half of the day and is amazing as well. Mike and Nick were our videographers...the 3 min trailer for our wedding video had people who weren't even at the wedding in tears. If we could do it all over we wouldn't hesitate to use FNA, and would recommend them to anyone planning an event in the future. We had an amazing time at our wedding, and so did our guests, and FNA was a huge part of that!

FNA was our dj, mc, photographer, and videographer. We saw fresh new angle at our aunts wedding a year before we got married and immediately knew we had to have them. All the staff was so friendly and high energy. Half our wedding guests don’t drink and they did an amazing job of keeping them engaged and entertained. People still compliment us on our dj and mc. At this point we have only seen a couple of our pictures and a “trailer” of our wedding video and we are blown awayy. Cannot wait to see the rest!

They are an amazing bunch!! I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to have a great wedding. They kept my guests on the dance floor all night. Chuck was the MC for the night. His quick on the spot improve was perfect! People will not stop talking about how much fun they had! The DJ was great with the music and percussion. My advice to any bride...let them do what they do best. They are pros. Don't restrict them too much. Of course, let them know what you are looking for and what you would prefer to hear. Leave them with some room to be creative and you won't regret it. I simply told Chuck the genres of music the guests would party to. Then I let him work his magic. The result was an unforgettable celebration that my friends and family have not stopped talking about.

The FNA crew was fantastic. We are now 6 months after our (Oct 20, 2017) wedding and people are STILL talking about how much fun our wedding was. To say this team of professionals is dynamic is an understatement. Tim did an excellent job with our photos. Our album came out beautifully. Mike, with his videography, still makes me cry (happy tears) EVERYTIME I watch my video. The lighting made our reception really come to life with the vision we had for it. We had the photo booth set up & their attendants were friendly & happy to help you. And last and certainly not least, Chuck & DJ Kode Blue together, was the icing on the cake. They had my dance floor packed all night. They listened and played EVERY song on my list. The extra commentary & personality from Chuck, had me laughing all night. If you want a party, they will bring it!! This team really made our wedding what it was. I am SO glad we choose FNA. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you guys for being outstanding & treating us like family. We love you!!
