Steve & his team with Porta Party Productions exceeded my expectations! His skillsets really shined all day through his coordination & communication from the first phone call, day of event, & afterwards! His team was extremely flexible with the timeline and unexpected occurrences! There professionalism and poise really helped keep the calm and less stress. I could truly trust them! Their overly kind & honestly funny extrovert personalities help lighten any situation. They are hype when they need to be! This helped make for a memorable night for everyone!! Highly recommend!

Great service. We hired for a DJ and videographer. The videography was great! Very friendly. DJ was great too but we experienced a couple problems. They did not play our “cutting the cake” song, which was super disappointing… we cut the cake in awkward silence. My husband and I also had a choreographed first dance & I told the DJ before ceremony started that he needs to wait for my husband to ‘nod’ at him before starting our song so we have time to get to the dance floor from the head table. He didn’t do that, so we were rushing to get in position and we missed our fancy entrance. It sort of threw us off and we messed up a couple times because the beginning threw the whole thing off :( We also had a coordinated timeline and we were not going to give speeches. Only the best man and maid of honor were giving speeches. But the DJ brought the mic over and told us to stand up and give a thanks. Neither me or my husband are public speakers and we’re very shy so this was unexpected and not in the plan. Just a few small things didn’t go our way but other than that it was a fantastic night. I’d recommend, just make sure you’re VERY clear on what you want.

Absoutley love our pictures. The dj service was also top notch. They took care of pictures and so much more. They helped move things along and keep the day moving smoothly. I didn't hire a consultant or anyone for that as I was told up from it was my day and after talking about a schedule of events they kind of ran the show, exactly how we wanted it. Even with setup the morning of, I had no stress for the whole day. That is a great wedding if you ask me.

Porta Party Productions was very reasonably priced and they brought lights and sound. Nelson was our DJ and he was great. I didn't meet Nelson until day of, but he came early to set up and check in with what we wanted (other than what I had submitted already). Nelson kept the reception timeline going and I didn't have to worry about it.

Really enjoyed it Steve are DJ, he was very energetic and a lot of fun and kept the music going. However didn’t really have the best experience with the photographer that we had. Forgot what his name was; however he got a couple good shots and everything just didn’t take a lot of like personal bright and groom photos, or didn’t take any photos of guests dancing. Overall we’re very glad that we spent the amount of money that we did for the DJ we had Nelson he was great! But for the photographer(we won’t name out of respect) not as much; Just make sure whenever you use a photographer to tell them exactly what photos you want and if you want a lot of personal photos like we did let them know that for sure or you’re not gonna get it. Although Steve gave us a great discount for on some of the photos that we only want it out of the 600 so Steve is also a really great person to go to with some of the concerns.

I am really glad that you enjoyed Nelson and he hit a home run as your Disk Jockey. As far...
as our photographer you did said it your self, if there is something specific that you are looking for then yes communication is the key. As you also mentioned he did take over 600 images and when we spoke you had found at least 160 of those that you were really happy with. You also mentioned that you had some guest that liked some of the others. In final I am glad you had a good time and I hope that you enjoy the picture that you do like.

Steve was phenomenal! He made our wedding very fun! Even after the wedding we had guests coming up to us to tell us how great our Dj was! Amazing energy and able to get people up and dancing! My husband and I don’t dance very often, but he made it easy to get out on the floor! I would recommend him for any event!!!

Steve and his crew did an amazing job at my wedding. He was very informative and answered all of my questions pre wedding. Him and his crew arrived and left respectfully. His disk Jockey followed every specific requested and played every song we wanted to play. Out of all the weddings I've been to this was probabaly the best dj service I have seen. I am very grateful for Steve and his whole crew for making me day even more special. I would recommend him to anyone in my family getting married in the future.

Port a Party provided us with beautiful pictures of our special day that we will cherish for a life time. Steve was instrumental in planning the pre-wedding photo shoot which we found helpful. We also hired Port a Party to DJ our reception and they did not disappoint! Thanks for the memories!

Ok let me start by saying that if you don’t use Porta Party Productions , you might as well not use anyone!!! Everything was top notch from start to finish. Steve and his crew were amazing to work with and played the best mix of music you could ask for!! Very cool that he took request all night and even played games that got everyone into the dance floor! Excellent time had by all!!

Steve was great to work with from the very beginning all the way through the very last song of our reception. Very personable, professional and energetic. All the guest had a great time and complimented my choice of DJ. Personally I can't speak highly enough of Porta Party Productions. If you are getting married and looking for a fun filled evening, you should definitely book these guys.

Our DJ was excellent and managed well with the situation he was provided, but the setup crew left the wrong event information so he did not have the songlist for our actual event. Fortunately, I had emailed that to them so he was able to access our information through his computer.
I have no other complaints and was very satisfied especially for the money. We had lights and everything, I had an awesome time at our reception!

had a little mix up about the fact they were supposed to dj my wedding too but finally settled on them just doing my reception.
Vendor response 09/15/2020
Shardae, I am glad that you had a great time at the reception. Very sorry about the confus...
ion, we spoke about doing both the Ceremony and Reception but in the end the contract that was sent to you only had the Reception listed for services. As this is the contract that you signed and returned we did not plan on Ceremony Services.

The ability to adapt to the crowd and knowing when to speak up or when to just play music. Very reasonably priced.
