Laurie is the best! She was amazing throughout the whole process. Our wedding day was amazing and couldn’t have picked a better DJ for us!!
They were awesome! Everything went really smoothly, it was all so organized, and we never had to worry about them at any point before or during the wedding because of how professio...
nal they were and easy to work with!
We had the best experience with Platinum DJ & Photobooth! From our first meeting with Laurie, we knew we'd made the right choice. She and Thomas took our vision and ran with it, ...
creating a custom template for the photobooth that matched our invitations and making sure that our guests were dancing and singing along all night long! They were definitely the perfect team to add to our special day.
I’ll start with the negatives. It seemed like the DJ forgot her notes when it came to certain details. The wrong recessional song was played before being corrected after a few seco...
nds. Despite telling the DJ twice that I did not want to be announced as Mr and Mrs. “Groom’s last name” (as I am not changing my name) and offered her some alternatives, that is how we were announced. When I went up to do the father-daughter dance, the DJ announced me as my mom’s name by accident. We asked the DJ to fade the music after a minute for the parent-child dances, and instead the whole songs were played. Similarly, we asked for the hora to be played for only 5 minutes, and it was played for more than 15 minutes. This lead to some awkwardness.
Now, for the positives. They played family-friendly music, and they did a good job of finding music that our guests would like based on the recommendations we had provided. The photobooth was a huge hit. I’ve been to lots of photobooths at weddings, but this one was my favorite! We got a photo album for the photobooth, and they put in the photos for us, which has been a wonderful keepsake. It was very easy to get in touch with them as we were planning, and they were very friendly and responsive.
While there were hiccups, I overall enjoyed working with this company. If I were to do the day over again, I would have just gone over all of the notes again.
Laurie deserves six stars if it were possible. Andrew and I had such a stunning wedding with Platinum DJ. Laurie is attentive, caring, and an excellent MC. All of our guests have t...
old us over and over how much fun they had at our wedding, and I attribute so much of that to Laurie. She responded exceptionally well and adapted to unforeseen rescheduling and kept the party flowing smoothly. At our preparation meeting, I loved talking with her and I could tell that it was her mission to provide the best wedding experience for my (now) husband and I. Finally, she enabled me to surprise him with a serenade that came through perfectly. Laurie was recommended (not sponsored) by our venue, and I completely understand why. Don't have any doubts about Platinum DJ, just book them!
Laurie was such a pleasure to work with! She helped bring our vision to life. If you’re a hockey fan and it happens to fall on your wedding day she will make sure to play the goal ...
horn when your team scores, Let’s go islanders! The game played was so much fun too!! I loved having her as my dj and highly recommend her for your next event! She played all of my top songs it was like I was back in the club again! A great day and she helped add to it!
Laurie was amazing to work with! They provide a portal that helps you plan out your music for the day and meet with you prior to help make sure everything is covered! She did a won...
derful job keeping the music upbeat, family-friendly, and fun! I would recommend Platinum DJ to anyone looking to keep the party going on their big day!
We are beyond thrilled to have had the chance to work with Laurie! We are not from this area so in a panic we contacted her on very short notice, and even with important personal...

ive in the area. Laurie had some awesome and creative ideas for activities during our reception and they were loved by us and our guests. They were very flexible with us with some last minute changes and helped make our day much more special. The photobooth is amazing and you will not regret getting it, only not using it more. Great people and company!

le everyone was eating dinner and she was on point with what we wanted for our song choices. She is a great entertainer and we would recommend them to anyone for any kind of event!
I call Platinum DJ & Photobooth "one of a kind, personalized wedding hosts" because they are just that. Laurie and Thomas are not just a DJ service...They're not just a photobooth ...
service...They're not just officiants....They're wedding hosts. My (now) husband and I found them on the knot and after having an hour(+/-) zoom call with Laurie- our decision to contract them was a NO BRAINER! While on the call, the questions Laurie asked us led me to believe she was a marriage counselor- upon me asking if she was, she said no, but I am an officiant. We did not have an officiant at that time and as soon as Laurie shared that detail with us, we added that service onto our wedding as well. So Laurie officiated our ceremony, MC'd the reception, got everyone on the dance floor and played an amazing set of music all night- while Thomas ran the sound during the ceremony and worked his tail off in the photobooth, etc. Now you know why I see them as WAY more than just a part of your vendor line up. Our wedding was a BLAST! Our dance floor was PACKED ALL NIGHT! The photobooth had people in it NON-STOP! And by the end of the night, Matt and I were feeling even more blown away by their love and compassion POURED into our special day...way more than we could have imagined. If you're looking for a truly customized wedding experience- hire Thomas and Laurie- You will not be disappointed. Plus- the value of their offerings are well above any other competitor in the Charlotte area.
Laurie was amazing! She also officiated our ceremony and did a great job making us feel comfortable! She was easy to work with and communicated very well with us leading up to our ...
wedding day. As stressed as we were, we knew we had nothing to worry about when it came to the music and officiating. We definitely recommend Platinum DJ and Photobooth!

our family to give us our dream reception. Not only did she give us our perfect first dance, but my grandparents finally got the first dance they never got to have when they got married 45 years ago because of Laurie! She will forever remain a friend of mine.
Much love, the VanDerwerken’s
Laurie is amazing and we were beyond happy with having her as our DJ for our wedding! I HIGHLY recommend them! She is such a pleasure to work with. She was super responsive and hel...
pful throughout the planning process. On the day of our wedding she was professional and SO personable! I felt like she was our friend helping us throw the most amazing party. Her energy is so warm and inviting and she played the best music! Platinum DJ is a family ran company and I couldn't imagine supporting any other business than that because it truly shows; quality of service is incomparable. I relied so much on reviews when I was planning my wedding and I hope this review helps someone else. Look no further...seriously! You won't be disappointed.
We had told Laurie prior to the wedding that we wanted a Party..and boy did she keep the party going! Laurie video called with us prior to the wedding to hear our likes, dislikes, ...
dinner music, etc, and really delivered on these and took them all into consideration during the reception.
She went above and beyond our expectations. 10/10!! :)
Thomas & Laurie did our wedding on 10/16/21 and they were amazing! They DJ'ed, did our photobooth, cocktail hour music, ceremony mics, and set up extra lighting in our reception ha...
ll - everyone could not stop talking about what a great job they did. Laurie was always in great communication with us and had tons of excellent song recommendations for us to make our wedding even more special. Definitely get the photobooth! It was a huge hit!
Loved them! The photo booth was worth it in so many ways! Kept everyone entertained and happy!

hen wedding day arrives and Amanda & Maverick were the sweetest. All the guests talked about how great they were. Honestly couldn't have asked for it to have been any better. We would absolutely recommend Platinum DJ & Photobooth for any event.
Eric and Christi are the perfect DJ for your event. They were there for my daughter from the day we hired them until the end of the wedding reception. Eric provided great music a...
nd kept our guest involved the whole night. Christi was the ideal hostess. She provided everything we needed and was there to handle all of our needs. They were very punctual arriving several hours before the event to ensure their set up was perfect. They are truly professional, courteous and very helpful. I would highly recommend them for any event you may have.

azing job with our ceremony, it was perfect. There were times throughout the reception where she would tell our group what to do and where to go (which we needed!!). Laurie also helped fixed my dress and my veil a few times when I was taking pictures, she was so thoughtful and helpful throughout the whole process!

nd, she made us feel incredibly comfortable with her. She coordinated perfectly with our wedding coordinator and the night could not have gone smoother. The music was perfect the entire night and we didn't want it to end! The dance floor was full the entire night and it truly was a spectacular night. I would recommend Laurie without a doubt. She helped make our wedding the most perfect day and I am so thankful for having her on our special day.
Platinum Party Events did an amazing job as DJ at our wedding reception.
All of our requested songs were played and Platinum Party Events did a great job of picking fun, upbeat so...
ngs to fill the remainder of our reception. We never felt like there was any “dead time” and the dancefloor was filled for the majority of our reception.
They handed out beaded necklaces to everyone on the dancefloor, which reenergized a lot of our younger cousins and put a big smile on everyone’s faces. I can’t say enough how awesome it was to have so many people constantly on the dancefloor. We have been to other wedding receptions where the dancefloor was empty and it was a little awkward, but our reception was the complete opposite.
In the months before our reception, we were worried about working our requested songs into the event timeline, but Laurie made herself available for phone calls before the reception to confirm pronunciations, songs, etc. And the Platinum Party Events website was very easy to navigate and enter in bridal party names, song choices, etc.
You often hear of people talking about things going wrong at their wedding reception, but we wouldn’t have changed a single thing. Platinum Party Events was an important part of our wedding reception and helped everything go smoothly from the introductions to the first dance to the cake cutting.
These people know what they are doing. Laurie DJ'd our wedding but did so much more than just that. She was with us during the planning process from the get go. She was interested ...
and immersed in our ideas and themes and helped us to explore how to make them even better. She was so enthusiastic and helpful that it felt like planning a great big party with a good friend. Her personal touch, while never escaping the boundaries of professionalism, was arguably the best part. We definitely recommend this service to anyone as we had zero issues, complications, or reservation after working with them. They are the best......period!
Laurie & Thomas were absolutely amazing. They ensured our wedding was the most memorable and fun night of our lives. They exceeded our expectations. They supported ever want, need ...

forceful or trying to make it feel like we were in the club or something and I felt like she really honored the nature of my wedding. She also brings a lot of great ideas to the table -- like how to approach the anniversary dance or how to cap off the night -- that really made our reception special. I was also planning from a distance and we were changing our minds constantly about the music, but she was very communicative and accommodating. Also, the pricing was more than reasonable and I feel like we got a great value. Overall, I highly recommend this company and Laurie in particular.
Laurie was our DJ for my wedding in May and she was wonderful! Before the wedding she periodically checked in to see if we had any questions and tell us what needed to be done. Rig...

From glow sticks, to jingle bells to narrating all of our special moments It could not have been more perfect. I cannot speak higher of this couple and all of our guests left saying how they hadn't danced more or had more fun at a wedding than this one. Thank you SO much for helping our day be so amazing and for playing great music all night long! <3

e at a bridal show and we fell in love with their Magic Mirror Photo Booth. It was so unique and different from the ordinary photo booth. We loved the fact that you can see yourself in the mirror and that way you can see how you look for the picture. We also loved the fact that you could write on the mirror when you were done taking pictures that would print on the photos! Also unique was that 3 pictures printed out on one photo! The props that they provided too were really fun.Thomas and Laurie were very nice and accommodating to our needs. They made a one of a kind photo template for our wedding! Their Magic Mirror Photo Booth was a big hit at our wedding and I highly recommend Platinum Party Events for your wedding or any event!

The decision to choose Platinum Party Events was an easy one, especially after talking with Laurie on the phone for the first time. We knew that we wanted a no-frills DJ experience...
for our wedding with a vendor that would listen to our requests but also be willing to improvise a bit; we got both with Platinum Party Events. Aside from a few songs that we knew we definitely did and did not want played, we didn’t have a set theme in mind; after meeting with us in person for about an hour and discussing the types of music we like and dislike, Laurie was able to come up with a perfect playlist for each event during our wedding. The end result was a great evening filled with memorable music that fit our personalities and tastes perfectly and kept everyone dancing and entertained the whole time. We got many compliments on how great the music was. We can’t recommend them enough. If you’re looking for a great, affordable DJ who will absolutely nail the music at your wedding, look no further than Platinum Party Events.
Laurie and her husband, Tom are so wonderful at what they do! We booked Laurie through a bridal show and it was a package deal, DJ & Photo Booth. From the day we signed the contra...
ct to the end of the wedding night, Laurie was professional, friendly and knowledgable. through-out the planning process, i had so many questions/concerns and Laurie always responded quickly and answered my concern. most importantly on the day of the event Laurie rocked the show. she kept my guest dancing all night long-I do not think anyone wanted to leave. on top of that, the Photo Booth was such a hit!! everyone is still talking about it. I couldn't say enough things about Laurie & Tom!!! we are so relieved the night went off went out a hitch and glad we had Laurie and Tom there!!
Laurie and Thomas and their Magic Mirror Photobooth were the perfect addition to our wedding! They designed a hockey themed template for us since I grew up a Rangers fan and my hu...
sband is a huge Islanders fan. They brought so many hockey themed props as well as other wedding themed props! They remembered that my venue did not allow feather props and brought plenty of others instead. They emailed me three different templates to choose from! They even helped us put together a photo guestbook for us with a scrapbook I bought! What a fun and memorable thing to have at our wedding with such great people running the booth.
Everyone had an amazing time at our wedding and a lot of it had to do with Laurie and Thomas at Platinum Party Events. The ceremony music was perfectly timed and our guests enjoye...
d the pre-ceremony music while they were finding their seats. The transition from ceremony to cocktail hour was seamless and we really appreciated the professionalism that they exhibited in making sure everything was in place. We had a relatively short reception that was behind schedule due to our ceremony running late and despite that, Laurie was able to make up the time and did not make the day feel rushed. We had our first dance "on the clouds" which was a great way to add something "extra-special" to our special day, Everyone got up and danced and generally had an awesome time, especially when an unexpected guest arrived...the dark lord of the Sith himself...Darth Vader! It really was a wonderful surprise and a memorable addition to the wedding that Platinum Party Events organized. We can't say enough good things about Platinum Party Events but we would like to take the time to say "Thanks! And May the Force be with you always..."
