PTAK Entertainment - DJ and Photo Booth

Scott went above and beyond to make our wedding such an incredible experience. He was so incredibly communicative and detail oriented and, more importantly, kept the party going! He truly made our night special.

There are no words to describe how grateful my husband and I are that we worked with Scott. From the start of our day to the end, Scott was on point. He was attentive and made sure to come check in with us throughout the night. We had a few weird song requests, but Scott made it happen on the spot. We are so grateful for him. One of our biggest asks for our wedding was good music, and Scott far exceeded that expectation. We would recommend him to anyone in need of DJ services. Thank you, Scott!!!

Scott was easy and great to work with. His communication and suggestions were great to help make our wedding day amazing. Nothing but great things to say and would recommend to anyone needing DJ services.

We hired Scott Ptak for our son and daughter-in-laws wedding this past June 1st, and it was fantastic! First of all, Scott was easy to communicate with; he showed up to our planning appointment, on time and ready to go and even made suggestions about our venue that were incredibly valuable. When wedding day came, he was on time and ready to go, always with a great attitude; and when the weather forced us to go inside, we had to make quick changes which Scott did easily and happily. Along with being our DJ, he was also our announcer and introduced the wedding party, and there never was a time where his infectious attitude and quick smile didn't add to the party. He even took dozens of photos and videos which he sent to us; there were some really great photos that he took that we would never have seen. Overall, the music was great, the evening was a huge success! I highly recommend Scott Ptak and Ptak Entertainment!

Scott exceeded all expectations for our wedding! From planning every detail leading up to the big day to orchestrating a perfect celebration, he truly delivered. His MC skills were top-notch, keeping the energy high and the transitions smooth throughout. If we could give him six stars, we would do it in a heartbeat.

Scott did an amazing job from the moment we contacted him. He took the time to ask questions about the ceremony and what type of theme we were going for and provided suggestions that helped make the planning easier. He was much more than just a DJ. There was a bit of a delay with dinner, so Scott quickly got with the appropriate contact people at the reception to seamlessly switch up a few things to fill the gap. He made sure he knew who to touch base with if anything needed to be addressed, so the bride and groom could enjoy their day. He got to know the bridal party and was able to read the crowd and kept the majority of the guests there and on the dance floor until the very end. Scott also took several amazing photos and videos, from prior to the ceremony through the entire reception and sent them to us within a couple of days after the wedding. The quality and thoughtfulness of the photos was more than we could have ever expected. We most definitely will be using him again. Several guests at the wedding complimented on how impressed they were with him as well.

We ABSOLUTELY would recommend Scott for any event! He did an outstanding job running the show for our wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. He is extremely organized beforehand so we could rest easy knowing he had all the details going into our wedding day. Of course, there were lots of little changes on the actual day and Scott made it look effortless adjusting for everything that we needed. Great song choices, guest involvement, and all around great guy! We had the photo booth included as well and everyone loved it! Thanks so much Scott, we loved having you as part of our wedding team!! Alex and Shane

Hiring Scott was absolutely one of the best decisions that we made for our wedding. I highly recommend his services. He was incredibly professional, flexible, knowledgeable, and courteous. He completely blew away all of our expectations. We had some last-minute changes and additions to our schedule, and Scott bent over backwards to incorporate them easily and ensure that we had an amazing day. Not only could not be happier with the music, but Scott's charisma ensured that all of our guests were dancing and having a great time. He also really helped us communicate logistical messages to our guests when we were not in the room, and came to us with any issues in an incredibly professional manner. Additionally, I highly recommend getting the photo booth, every one of our guests loved it. On top of it all, Scott took pictures and video throughout the night, and some of the pictures we loved from our wedding we would not have without him. We wish we could throw another wedding just to have him again.

He was the most amazing DJ. He made our night so wonderful and the best night ever. He was so wonderful and funny and was the best to work with. If you are having a wedding I would absolutely Recommend him.

INCREDIBLE!! Scott exceeded our expectations. The best DJ I have ever had! So fun and our guests kept commenting how amazing he was. Thank you Scott for the best day ever!!

Scott was exactly what we needed for our wedding DJ. He did a fantastic job during the reception balancing our music selection given our multicultural wedding. I cannot stress enough how well timed the music was during the ceremony as well - he timed the recessional exactly as I had day dreamed and planned! We have had friends and family comment on how nice and receptive Scott was all throughout the evening. My wife and I can’t thank him enough.

Scott is a wonderful DJ and emcee and our wedding was so much fun! He is great to work with and helped keep our reception on schedule! Highly recommend!

Scott was the best! He did everything per our requests, and also added his own expertise in song selection and transitioning from different parts of the wedding (speeches, bridal party intros, and cake cutting.)

Scott was everything we ever could have hoped for in a DJ and then some! He went above and beyond. Easily one of the greatest vendors in the game. In the planning process, Scott made everything so easy. Easy to communicate with, and had an easy to read through contract. When I say he was super thorough, he will give you sheets that literally break down your entire ceremony and reception - from what music you want to hear, to names of your bridal party, any special dances, he plans for it all in a very organized way, and never once did we feel overwhelmed. Day off - couldn’t have asked for anything else!!! Scott went above and beyond! He took pictures throughout our entire day at the venue, in addition to what our photographer had, which was extra special to us! He read the vibe of our group to get people out on the dance floor with ease, and met with us a few times throughout the night to make sure we were happy with how things were going, and the music choices. He has VERY reasonable pricing, it was affordable and SO worth it. Scott, we can’t thank you enough for making our special day even more special.

The 3,500 character limit that The Knot limits me to is not nearly enough to express my joy & satisfaction with Scott's performance at our wedding and the level of professionalism that he exuded throughout the entire wedding preparation process. He is the definition of class, and if you choose him to MC your wedding, I guarantee that you will not be disappointed. Scott played nearly every song we requested, and kept it clean & classy throughout. His services were priced extremely fairly and we felt like we got much more than we paid for. For example, one of our larger regrets was that we didn't hire a videographer...but with Scott there was no need! He took several high-quality videos of the festivities throughout the night and several hundred photos...all of which he uploaded to a private server to download afterwards. If we ever decide to host another event here on the west side of Michigan, he will be our go-to choice, and we sincerely hope that you give him the same level of consideration that he so greatly deserves!

Couple of weeks ago my daughter was married. As the Father of the Bride you want to make sure everything goes, Well somewhat according to plan. LOL!! As for Scott and PTAK Entertainment he was spot on. See, I had something special set up for my Father of the Bride speech. I had no contact with Scott prior to the reception. While he was setting up we discussed the plan, It worked flawlessly. Scotts communication skills, quality of his work as well his ability to improvise on the spot, will impressive, to say the least. One thing I would like to note. It's just not being professional, or the quality of the work or the service. From my stand point, what Scott provided was first rate. It all comes down to personality and character. Scott has both. This is one of the reasons my daughter reception was a great success with many memories that will be remembered and talked about for years to come. Thank you Scott for everything you done. For anyone reading the review. Check PTAK Entertainment out, you will not be disappointed. He will make your special day memorable. for sure.

Scott was the DJ at our son's wedding in late April and did a fantastic job. I had put together a slide show for the reception and worked with Scott in the days leading up to the wedding to make sure the show worked perfectly. He knew what I was trying to achieve (pictures set to music) and solved some technical difficulties I was having just before go time. His sound system, lights, and photo booth were great and his personality made for a fun Emcee for the night. Scott is very personable, friendly, and professional. He was great to work with and I would not hesitate to recommend him.

Went above and beyond from start to finish!

Our wedding had been in the planning works for over a year. And as any bride and groom want most of all, we wanted our wedding day to be perfect. What made it so was booking Scott to act as our emcee and DJ! We learned about Scott from a friend who read his many great reviews on The Knot. My fiancé and I first met Scott in person to discuss our wedding day vision. We knew he was going to be our pick within the first 10 minutes of the meeting. His presence, ideas, and experience provided us with the confidence that he could make our event special; and he did! Scott handled the music for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. We didn’t know that the mic that he placed on our officiant was going to pick up our voices during the vows we read. All our guests could clearly hear what we said. And Scott assisted the videographer to access his sound equipment so he could record not only the ceremony sound but the sound of the entire reception for our videos. Scott promised us that he would take all the pressure off us so we could enjoy our wedding instead of having to worry about the details and the timing. He did just that. There was a moment when my father informed us that he wanted to make an unplanned speech during dinner. Before introducing my dad, Scott made sure that both the photographer and the videographer we ready to capture the moment. Once the special dances started after dinner, we told Scott that we didn’t want to dance to the entire length of the songs we chose. We are not the type that likes being the center of attention. It worked out perfectly! He faded the songs out once the photographer and videographer captured what they needed. When the formalities were out of the way, to get things started, and to get our guests out on the dance floor, Scott suggested that he would invite them to join us by leading with a slow song. After making the announcement, there was no room on the dance floor. People had to spill off to the sides to dance. Immediately following that song, he ramped up the music and the dance floor remained packed for the rest of the evening. We did a sparkler send-off 45 minutes before the end of the event. All the guests were instructed to go outside and participate. We thought that the send-off would likely be the end of the event. This was not the case. After we left, we were told that most everyone that was still remaining went back to the dance floor to finish the evening giving Scott song requests. Our bridal party members later told us that our wedding was the most fun they had ever had at a wedding. We had an idea that hiring the right DJ is essential to throw a great event, but now we know just how important. The day after our wedding, Scott sent us a link to all the photos and videos that he personally took during the entire event. What an incredible surprise!! PS - Scott, you were fantastic! You exceeded our expectations! You should know that we received many compliments about your DJ service during our wedding, and after. Thank you so very much for everything!

Scott was the DJ for my daughter’s wedding. Several months before the wedding, my husband and I contacted Scott with some special announcements we hoped he would perform for us, along with a list of special songs to be played for several attending guests. Not only was he accommodating, but he provided us with some creative options to consider. This wedding is the first of our kids. The last wedding we planned was our own, so we appreciated any help we could get. What my husband and I noticed during the wedding was how attentive Scott was to our daughter and son-in-law. My husband decided to make a last-minute toast during dinner. Scott stepped in to present a smooth introduction and made sure that the videographer was able to capture that moment. It was very memorable and there wasn’t a dry eye in the room. People commented how much they enjoyed the music Scott played during the cocktail hour and dinner. It was very classy and matched the venue perfectly. The guest list included a good number of older couples, many being our friends. Scott’s ability to switch from songs that were being played to the younger crowd, to songs that appealed to the older audience without losing the interest of the younger folks was impressive. Anyone who hires Scott for their wedding will be making a good choice. He is an exceptional DJ!

Scott was fantastic to work with! His experience was very appreciated, especially with the templates he provided to fill out all of the song selections we needed and his ability to read the room through dinner and dancing. Scott took the time to talk through what we wanted the day to feel like and the playlist he put together was exactly what we were hoping for. The dance floor was packed the whole night, and thanks to Scott taking his own pictures for us from the dj both, we have the pictures to prove it! We would highly recommend PTAK entertainment if you’re looking for experience, attention to detail, and thoughtfulness.

Scott was a great DJ! He's reliable, fun and keeps the party going. Unlike many DJ's, he will take recommendations from guests and always prioritizes the couple's music preferences. I would hire him again for my wedding.

Scott provided exemplary MC and DJ service during our son's wedding! He is a detailed planner and worked hard both before and during the event to keep the bride, groom, and guests entertained and happy. The dance floor was full all night. I will absolutely hire him again for future events!

Scott is a true professional! Very helpful with great suggestions to help our day go smoothly. Went above and beyond and even took candid photos during the reception that were very appreciated. Highly recommend!

Scott was truly the perfect DJ! We could not be more thrilled that he was available to work our ceremony and reception at Bay Pointe Woods. He was a breeze to communicate with leading up to the event, and hit every song that we requested. His setup, equipment and lighting were all top of the line. Most importantly he was a genuinely kind, charismatic, and funny emcee. He kept the timeline of events on schedule and flowing smoothly, working the crowd along the way. His years of experience definitely shows, as he was unphased by anything the wedding and reception threw his way. We can’t recommend him enough. Thank you Scott for the amazing work– we got so many compliments on how you absolutely crushed it!!

Scott was absolutely amazing at our December wedding. Super helpful with every detail and not once was I nervous about his presentation. He was kind, personable, and even danced with my mother- which was awesome! 100% my best vendor I booked. Thank you Scott!

PTAK Entertainment is the absolute best! My husband and I are so thankful that we chose Scott to be our wedding DJ. You can tell that his work is his true passion, he brought so much excitement to our celebration. It was so nice that we could trust Scott with the flow and transitions of the night, and our only responsibility was to enjoy our day. Everything from the music, to the lighting, to the announcements were better than we could have possibly envisioned. We received so many compliments from guests on Scott's work and how much they enjoyed the night. He even took photos and videos of the reception - they will forever be treasured memories! We would 100% recommend PTAK Entertainment to any of our friends or family getting married in the future.

Scott at Ptak Entertainment is a top notch DJ and emcee. We could not have been happier with how our wedding reception went. With Scott at the helm the entire night went perfectly. As our DJ and emcee he handled the entire night from start to finish, including announcements, entrances, DJing, and so much more. We received so many compliments on his music selection and work during the night. 5/5 stars and 100% recommendation. My wife and I could not be happier. Thanks Scott!

Scott made the wedding SO fun! He was super easy to work with and was happy to take our requests which isn't always the case at weddings. He was also intentional about keeping the dance floor full and because of him, it was packed the whole night. I would highly recommend Scott for your wedding DJ!!

From the initial contact with Scott, we had great communication and high energy from him! Having a DJ that was fun and kept people dancing was a high priority of ours and Scott exceeded that. Scott went above and beyond to help us with cocktail hour music. He was also an amazing MC and kept the whole night running smoothly. We had people of all ages on the dance floor and everyone keeps saying how much fun they had! We highly recommend Scott to anyone looking for a DJ!

We had a wonderful evening with Scott! So professional and fun. This man sure has knack for entertaining! Helped us through what would otherwise stress most people out. Thanks Scott!

Scott Ptak is the man! We asked him to be the MC and DJ at our wedding reception and he delivered. Scott introduced the wedding party with energy, kept us all on schedule during a tightly packed order of events, and picked a perfect playlist for our reception vibe. The thing that impressed me the most about Ptak was his flexibility. We asked him to host a mini "Newly-Wed" gameshow. We weren't initially sure how it was going to go, but Scott's personality with a microphone in hand engaged the entire crowd. He also made a last minute change to our walk-in music after my wife and I realized we hadn't picked the right song. Additionally, Scott coordinated (on less than a five minutes notice) with the venue coordinator and building crew to turn down all the lights on his command as he turned up the music to transition from the mother-son dance to the open dance floor. The man is calm under pressure and will fulfill your request no matter how ridiculous or last second it may be. Lastly, I am writing this review because before I left the reception I shook Scott's hand and thanked him for all he'd done that night. I asked what was the best way for me to help him, considering I won't be having any more weddings for him to DJ. He said the Knot reviews and personal recommendations help him the most. I gladly write this 5 star review for PTAK Entertainment and my wife recommended him to her newly engaged Maid of Honor. I am excited to see him DJ at her wedding next year!

Working with Scott for our wedding was a breeze! He was organized and on top of it, that I didn't have to worry about anything (which is nice as a bride!). On the day of our wedding, he was engaged with our guests when he needed to be, but otherwise just played the music we had requested. He was really easy to get along with. Clearly experienced and very professional. I definitely recommend working with Scott! You will not be disappointed.

Scott is a very accommodating and professional. Additionally, he is very knowledgeable in his music career and knows how to get the crowd on their feet. If you book with him, he even provides extra photos during your special day!

Scott did a great job performing at my wedding! My reception was at Bay Pointe Inn in late September, and it was so great to have a DJ who already knew the space. The photobooth was a hit and the dance floor was full all night. He played a few (provided) cultural songs which made my family feel right at home. He kept the night going and was a pleasure to work with. He was responsive during the planning process and his rates were fair -- a great value. I would recommend his services.

Scott Ptak is so so AMAZING! I first saw him DJ at a friend's wedding. I was so impressed by his work that I wrote his name on a napkin that night and told him I was going to use him for our own wedding. Sure enough, two years later I did just that! He made sure everything was in perfect order for our special day. Scott did a wonderful job communicating with us on what we wanted. Everything went so smoothly. I cannot say one bad thing about PTAK entertainment! Hire him! You will NOT be disappointed!

Scott was punctual, attentive, and accommodating throughout the entire planning process to the actual wedding day! I was impressed with the quality of equipment and dancefloor lighting . I highly recommend PTAK Entertainment for any event!

Scott was an absolutely AMAZING DJ!!! Highly recommend him as he was very helpful, observant and FUN! He helped me make a fantastic mash up song for my father daughter dance. Scott was really good at reading the room which I feel is very important. Ex) the best men's speech brought up a time my husband and I sang bohemian rhapsody together and when the speech ending just a few seconds later Scott had that song starting at a low volume for our encode performance. This really elevated the speech and got everyone into the moment. Scott allows as much direction as you would like to provide with his in depth questionnaire. This is nice to make sure he plays your favorite song or doesn't play a song you don't want. 10 outta 10 for sure recommend Scott! He has a great service, very professional, and reads the room! Thanks so much Scott!!!

Scott was amazing at our wedding! We have been to plenty of weddings where the DJ was sub par or we heard how they didn’t listen to the couples requests. That wasn’t the case with Scott. He listened to our requests, understood exactly what we were looking for and enhanced the experience beyond what we could’ve asked! We love to dance and he kept that dance floor packed all night. He also was very insightful and supportive from when we booked him to our big day. Couldn’t recommend a better person for the job!

So grateful we were able to have Scott as our DJ!!! He is so friendly, professional, played awesome music, and his energy made us feel so special! He also took the time to take some super fun pictures and videos not only on the dance floor but throughout the whole night - Scott is the best and we would 10/10 recommend him for any event!!

Scott was an amazing DJ and a perfect compliment to our wedding! He chose a great variety of music that was fun and energetic for all our guests. Not only did he nail it as a DJ but he also took the time to capture some awesome photos and videos of our party. If you are looking for a professional, fun, classy DJ for your big day, Scott is your guy!

Scott was SO AMAZING!!!! He did a great job entertaining our guests during the entire reception with fun games during dinner and great music all night long!!! The dance floor was packed the entire night. Scott was great about taking song requests and also catering to what the entire crowd seemed to like. He also went above and beyond on our photo booth strips by pulling graphics from our other paper products to make sure the prints looked seamless and fit our theme perfectly. You can trust Scott to do an amazing job!!!!

Scott was awesome to work with! He exceeded our expectations of a DJ. He helped us navigate our evening smoothly and kept us on schedule! We had a very specific vision and several special music requests and he went above and beyond to execute everything perfectly. We had a “Covid wedding” and he definitely eased our stress by being so accommodating with our venue setting. Our guests have not stopped raving about how much fun they had on the dance floor. I also highly recommend his photo booth! Our guests loved it and we got a link to all of the “behind the scenes” photos that he took during our event from a different perspective than the photographer we hired.

I hired PTAK Entertainment for just the DJ services. Scott goes above and beyond with his professionalism and energy towards your big day! I am a venue coordinator for an event venue and had the pleasure of working with him multiple times before as a vendor there. He always impressed me with his great communication, timeliness, and effort he puts into making everything run smoothly. For that reason, I decided to hire him for my own wedding when the time came. Despite some crazy last minute indoor/outdoor changes necessary due to Covid gathering restrictions, he worked hard to accommodate every bump in the plan. Having confidence in your DJ really allows you to enjoy the day worry-free, especially when they help monitor your timeline and keep things on track. Despite a Sunday night wedding, he had so many guests still on the dance floor right up until the end. You won't regret working with him!

Nice, energetic, respectful, and above all very professional. He did an amazing job, and even gave us great tips and tricks throughout the night. Would definitely hire him again for any other events!

Scott was the DJ at my nephew and his brides wedding this past August. I was the Mistress of Ceremonies and only met Scott several hours before the start of the wedding. Because of COVID-19 there were MANY changes that had to be made in the months, weeks, days and HOURS leading up to this beautiful day!! Scott was so helpful, calm and organized!!! It was an outdoor venue and a bit before the wedding we were informed the dance floor needed to be away from the tent and up a hill. Scott singlehandedly moved his equipment quickly from the dinner tent up the hill and had the music continuing in a very short period of time. He kept the event going in a timely fashion and did a fantastic job!!! I highly recommend Scott-he made my tasks easy!! Thanks again Scott!

Scott really was the BEST EVER!! He was my first choice in DJs, so I booked him early and I was SO glad that I did. He met with my fiancé and I early on to go over planning basics and gave us a very helpful outline of how to plan the reception down to the very last detail. Then, he offered to meet us again right before the wedding to review the details and make sure everything was perfectly ready. It was something I was feeling slightly stressed about, and he calmed my nerves and made me feel so comfortable going into the big day. He took into account our music Preferences and did a great job blending crowd favorites with our favorites— even offering to create us a “do not play” list so that we could make sure we didn’t hear any music that we didn’t want to (how amazing is that?!) He did such a great job with music transitions for everything from the processional, recessional, first dance and everything in between. I never really realized just how much a DJ needed to do for a wedding to be perfect, and Scott went above and beyond to make sure everything was right. I already referred my best friend to him for their wedding next year, and I wouldn’t hesitate to refer to him again and again. Even my family complimented how exceptional he was, and noticed that he walked around the reception tent during dinner to make sure the music was a good volume for every corner of the tent. We all appreciated that it wasn’t too loud to talk, or too quiet to even hear. All of this amazing service and attention to detail while working through a pandemic. He was very professional and cleanly, and followed the strict rules of my venue- meaning he had to move his equipment from the dinner area to a pre-planned dancing area to social distance the dancing. He did this with a big smile on his face and did not complain at all about the extra work. He even suggested that we move the bar to the dancing area (a detail we had not thought about) to help more people enjoy the dance floor- and that idea was a HIT. I could go on and on, but just continue to read all the other wonderful reviews of Scott, and you’ll see why he’s voted Top DJ.. because he’s just plain awesome!!

We were incredibly happy with our entire experience using PTAK Entertainment. From the day we contacted Scott to the final moments of the reception, he was professional, cooperative and courteous. Scott was very thorough in his questionnaires and preparation prior to the event. He was considerate of the bride and grooms preferences and made many helpful suggestions. We couldn't be happier with how he managed our ceremony and reception. We would most definitely use PTAK Entertainment again!

Hire PTAK Entertainment for your wedding! From the beginning of our ceremony, to the end of the reception the music was perfect. Scott made sure everything was to our specifications and the guests were up and dancing the whole night. He was very friendly and easy to work with and even got some awesome pictures and videos of the night. Wouldn’t have wanted anyone else to play such an important role on our special day. <3

Wonderful DJ! Not only does PTAK Entertainment provide excellent DJ services and photobooth options but they went above and beyond! Scott Ptak took amazing photos and videos throughout the night. He greeted me and my husband at the front door and got us a drink before our entrance. He checked up to make sure we were happy with the music being played and overall made sure we had an amazing night. I highly recommend choosing Ptak Entertainment. They are a big part of what made my wedding so perfect. Super friendly and easy to work with! If I could give them more than 5 stars I would.

Choosing Scott Ptak to DJ our wedding was a great decision. He was very professional and helpful. His equipment is top quality amd sounded great. He helped us with our music selection as well. We gave him a few songs we wanted to hear and some ideas, and he helped make the process as easy as possible by tailoring the song list to our style. He also made sure we were getting everything we wanted and was open to suggestions. Everything about the music was perfect at our wedding. He is also a really nice guy and easy to work with. Would recommend him to anyone getting married or hosting a large party.

5 stars doesn’t begin to cover what Scott brought to our wedding, he turned the dance floor into a party that our guests couldn’t avoid. He played a variety of music to appease all ages. He was kind, courteous, knowledgeable and prepared, he went above and beyond and we couldn’t be more thankful we chose him.
