Honored Occasions was the best! They are the preferred DJ at our wedding venue, and were very communicative through the entire year of planning. Their online portal made it easy to...
add must play and don’t play songs. DJ Tony KILLED IT! He understood our millennial vibes for the reception, and helped us with all of our crazy ceremony questions leading up to the big day. All of our guests were raving about the playlist weeks later. They also handled our photobooth, and gave us a ton of options and colors to choose from. 1000% recommend!
Honored Occasions and Damon were absolutely perfect for our wedding. We had a band in addition to having Damon as our DJ throughout the evening. The transition to/from the band was...
so smooth and completely stress free. Damon created the exact playlist we were looking for and had the dance floor jumping!! We would highly recommend Honored Occasions!

ts, Tony made sure we felt supported all the way through. We were able to ensure the "must plays" were included and knew that Tony could take care of the rest. Our guests danced the entire night, and we had so much fun! Thank you to Tony and the Honored Occasions team for making our wedding such a fantastic day.
We had the privilege of experiencing Honored Occasions as two friends weddings in November’24 and January’25. When we got engaged end of January’25 with plans for our wedding to be...
mid-June, it was a no brainer to reach out to the HO team to check their availability.
The ownership team was over the moon for us and immediately jumped in to get us connected t mo the wonderful DJ Tony. planning was seamless and the teams attention to detail as well as ability to run with ambiguity (as we did had a rough outline of likes and dislikes), DJ Tony orchestrated a beautiful evening of music and MCing.
It was truly a smooth evening, all transitions were hit with ease and the night just felt effortless. Our guests of multi-generations all out on the dance floor enjoying themselves. DJ Tony knows his stuff.
In addition their other offerings helped elevate the night. Simple uplighting warmed the room and helped bring in the fun/ nighttime feel on a late summer evening.
Following our event we had several friends and family reach out to get the HO teams contact for their upcoming events. They truly know their stuff and we’re grateful to have had them be part of such a special day. Thank you!

dicated to making our day special. What stood out most was DJ Tony's adaptability. He wasn't just playing music; he was an integral part of the entire flow of our wedding. He seamlessly transitioned between different parts of the reception, helping us navigate everything from the introductions and first dance to the cake cutting and toasts. He kept the energy high throughout the night, reading the crowd perfectly and playing a great mix of music that had everyone on the dance floor. We had some last-minute changes to our timeline, and DJ Tony handled them with grace and flexibility, ensuring everything ran smoothly. He was a true partner in making our wedding a memorable and stress-free event. We highly recommend Honored Occasions and DJ Tony to anyone looking for a top-notch DJ service!
We booked with Honored Occasions, as this was the company linked to our venue The Richland. We did not have any expectations going into it. However, that all changed when we first ...
spoke to DJ Tony. Tony is such a pro and a genuinely amazing person who was up beat and personal through our phone calls and in person. He knew exactly the vibe we were looking for and he captured it perfectly! We loved his interactions and how he knew just what the people wanted to dance to. DJ Tony is by far the best wedding QJj we have seen, and we have been to 9 weddings over the last 4 years. Thank you so much Tony for an amazing night and for making everything so simple for us!

I got married 10/12/24. Honored Occasions was referred to me through my vendor. My initial phone call with Steve made me extremely comfortable and felt like going with HO was the ...
right decision, and it was. He listened to everything I wanted and even asked questions that I had not thought of. Steve really know how to assist. He recommended we have DJ Tony as he was bilingual and half of our guest would appreciate the translation of announcements.
DJ Tony went above and beyond to make our wedding awesome! The music was on point and he worked really well with our planner in making sure the night was perfect. We received many texts and phone calls after the wedding from our guest on how much fun they have.
On top of DJ services we also got our photobooth through HO, which was a complete hit. We received all photos after the wedding and it was entertaining to look at all our guests.
Best decision ever was to go with Honored Occasions.

l we found them. Martin was the absolute consummate professional. He played exactly the type of music we wanted for our cocktail hour and used our spotify playlist for the reception as a jumping off point for an incredible dance party! He was a great host and transitioned between our speakers seamlessly and didn't miss a beat introducing the special dances. You're in really good hands with honored occasions.

! Tony was so easy to work with prepping for the big event. He arrived at the venue well in advance and worked seamlessly with the venue staff throughout the night.

We had an absolute amazing time working with DJ Tony, Steve and Honored Occasions and would highly recommend them for any event

of how great a job he did, so my husband and I knew we wanted to book him for our wedding.
Working with Steve was so easy. Honored Occasions took care of all our audio for the ceremony, reception music and the uplighting (which had so many color options). The company provides you a great online portal where you can input all your music choices and keep track of everything. We had a couple phone calls to work through all the details, and felt so confident walking into the day knowing Steve had it all under control. The dance floor was electric & the whole day flowed so smoothly. All our friends and family complimented how fantastic the music was and how great Steve's music transitions were. Many people said he was the best wedding DJ they had ever heard. Ending the night on Mr. Brightside was a moment we'll never forget. I could not recommend Honored Occasions more if you want to have a truly incredible night!
Thank you so much, Steve for all the time and hard work you put into making our day we incredibly special!! We are so thankful for you!

rovided audio and music for our ceremony and reception, plus lighting for the reception. Steve took the time to get to know us and customize our day. He had a wealth of knowledge regarding music selection and had no qualms about multiple phone meetings to better capture our vision and answer questions. On the day of our wedding, he was an absolute professional and great DJ for our reception. He had an excellent sense about what music to play and when so that our guests had the BEST time. Thank you Steve and Honored Occasions for our perfect day!

ed, and was always professional and pleasant to work with. Especially while planning (and re-planning) a wedding during the pandemic, Steve went above and beyond our expectations in helping us troubleshoot, find solutions, and support us along the way. He was always positive, outgoing, and charismatic- which only carried through even more while he was on the mic during our wedding. He even helped organize and set-up a surprise performance from the MOH which went on without a hitch. We would highly recommend choosing Honored Occasions and Steve to be your event/wedding Dj.

g, and made our wedding night the best it could be!
Prior to the wedding date, Anthony offers a user friendly website where we could put our music requests into different categories which are reviewed prior the event date to ensure all our favorite songs were played. He was able to make a custom edit/mix for our father-daughter dance which turned out perfect! Our wedding event was smaller than we originally expected, but our guests still danced the night away (safely) and that is all thanks to DJ Tony’s awesome skills. They are professional, yet fun and entertaining which is what you want for your crowd on your wedding night. HIGHLY recommend.

stomer service, professional and thorough. Steve provided DJ service, uplighting and Lollipop Photo Booth. All three services were excellent. The music and flow was perfect, the photo booth was a hit and the uplighting really made a nice compliment to the venue. It was a pleasure having them as part of the Vendor Team. We will definitely use the services again and highly recommend Honored Occasions for your next event.

ong! He did such a great job of reading the crowd! We can’t recommend him enough! The data base he uses to create a playlist for an event is so easy and amazing to use! We loved that part of the process since we live 3,000 miles away from him and our wedding venue! It made the planning process very easy. A week before our wedding we had an appointment to go over details on the phone with him. Earlier that day, him and his wife had went into labor with their child! He still called us later on that day to go over details and that totally blew us away! He’s so dedicated and so so talented at what he does! We highly recommend him!

hich was all thanks to Steve. We gave him a limited sample of songs we liked before the wedding, and Steve ran with the rest. He was a constant professional from start to finish. He has a great demeanor and good energy. All around a pleasure to work with and a great guy. Do not waste time looking for another DJ for your wedding or special event. Go with Honored Occasions! Thanks, Steve!

I had the pleasure of working with Tiffany (DJ Ruby Blue) when planning my wedding. She was a consummate professional that truly cared about my event! Because I had a number of unu...
sual song requests (not the traditional Top 40 songs), Tiffany worked tirelessly to make sure she became familiar with the songs and incorporated them into my wedding seamlessly. In addition, she was always available to talk through any concerns or last minute changes. In fact, we were forced to change the location of our ceremony due to weather rather last minute, and Tiffany helped us work through some issues to make sure our ceremony went off without a hitch. I highly highly recommend considering hiring Tiffany for your wedding!

lt time finding one that was right for our wedding. Our wedding planner recommended Honored Occasions and after speaking with Steve over the phone, we hired them immediately. Steve was very kind, informative, and communicated well with us through the planning process. Our ceremony and reception felt personalized to our liking. Steve allowed us to pick as many or a little songs as we wanted for our playlist. They have an online portal where you can pick must plays or a do not play list. We are so happy we chose Honored Occasions for our wedding and highly recommend them for yours!!!

They have lots of DJs under their services, but we went with DJ Jack. SUPER SUPER friendly DJ and also very professional. He came early to the wedding to set up his system. We would definitely consider them again in the future for any events!

riginally been shopping around for a DJ and were really pressed on time, so were about to make a decision without having met Steve, but our planner INSISTED we meet him. Five minutes into our last minute meeting with Steve, WE WERE DONE. He was so sweet and so professional and so knowledgeable (the list goes on), and just all around EASY to talk to and work with... he made the decision a piece of cake. On our wedding day, everyone had a BLAST. Steve was the perfect host, entertainer, and DJ. Five stars do not do him justice. We adore him as a person and he was definitely one of our FAVORITE vendors that we booked for the entire event. He really made our wedding over the top special and gave us memories for a lifetime.

We were always kept in the know and knew what was coming next. Thank you Steve and Ryan for making our wedding reception unforgettable for everyone!

We are so happy to have worked with HO and could not have asked for a better DJ.

Our guests also responded very well to Steve. His announcements were easy to understand and clear. He's also excellent at leading games. A highlight at our wedding was when he did a musical chairs scavenger hunt. Super fun for the guests!
Honestly, if you're looking for a fun and personable DJ, Steve is your guy. He truly cares about making the wedding a fun experience for the guests. He's not the guy that just plays music and that's it.
So Honored Occasions knows WHAT’S UP! We went ahead with Steve as our DJ for our wedding in February 2018, and he absolutely killed it! I heard compliments and comments from so man...

We can’t believe how amazing the entire night went, and how well Steve kept everyone interested and dancing throughout the reception! The entire planning process leading up to our wedding was also effortless, due to the online planning portal that Honored Occasions uses. We met with Steve in person twice prior to our wedding and I can honestly say it was 100% stress free, and just straight up fun. You will be completely satisfied with Honored Occasions for all your wedding/event needs! Thank you Steve!
