Silicon Forest Entertainment

o know us as a couple and asked great questions to get a feel of what we were thinking in regards to music/vibe/additional services. We appreciated his warmth right from the get-go. Craig's pre-made music customization forms made it very easy for us to plan out our playlists for each moment of the day (prelude, ceremony, first dance, cocktail, dinner, etc.) Craig responded quickly to any questions we had about set-up and additional services. We wound up going with one of his photo-booth packages which we loved! Was a really fun addition to the evening and allowed guests to come home with an extra souveneir. In comparison to other photobooths we researcehd, Craig's was far more affordable and the set up was smooth and easy. On the day of, Craig implemented music transitions seamlessly, was gracious and kind to guests, and did a great job of helping us stick to a timeline and introduce our guests that would be giving toasts. He responded quickly to small feedback we had for him and worked really well with our coordinator. Craig knew how to read the room and adjusted the order of our more danceable tracks according what he was seeing. That kept everyone on the dance floor for the whole night (exactly what we wanted)! We highly recommend working with Craig/Silicon Forest for your wedding and/or event. Can't speak highly enough of his work.

t Craig called us to discuss wants and had such amazing knowledge of music. My husband’s favorite music isn’t always well known, and Craig came though delivered. Silicon Forest also plays a very popular selection and kept our guests dancing! 10/10 would recommend!

rk with us on whatever we wanted, no complaints whatsoever. He has an organized way of tracking the music you want to play - by key moment songs such as processional, recessional, first dance, father/daughter, etc. My favorite part about working with Craig was that I could create a Spotify playlist with all the songs my wife and I loved - giving him a better idea of the music we’re into. If you’re curious, we’re into classic ‘80s & ‘90s music, early 2000s rap and R&B, today’s EDM, and more. Craig was comfortable with all of it. During the wedding, he played all the songs we wanted and added in ones that complimented ours perfectly. He read the crowd and was able to keep everyone engaged and dancing through the night. He took requests from my wife and I and he never played a song from our no-play list. If you’re looking for a DJ that is experienced and that will cater to your every need, Craig is your guy. Last but not least, some other facts that we're awesome... Craig provided up-lighting that were battery powered so they didn't look ugly with wiring and he also took video on his GoPro the whole night and shared a nice little video recap with us a few days after the wedding. A total bonus we weren't expecting :).

in the room. Craig was a great MC who kept the evening's schedule moving, while also being flexible to a fluid timeline. He did a great job of announcing toasts, getting microphones to people, gathering people's attention for special dances, cake cutting, etc. He was professional and warm but didn't steal the spotlight. He was wonderful!

n and Craig appeared and we never looked back. He was amazing from the start - super easy to work with, very communicative. We submitted lists of specific songs we wanted - and when we felt we were submitting too many "please play these songs", I provided a genre or theme of music (my husband and I are 90s pop kids, etc.) he ran with it and it turned out AMAZING. I called an audible and changed the walk down the aisle music at the last minute and it was seamless. We asked for a last dance with no one in the room but us and he helped kick everyone out when no one was listening lol and we kept the reception open an extra hour and he went with it, no questions asked. And to top it all off, he then sent us a list of the songs he played, in order, at the entire wedding (ceremony, cocktail, reception, dance). It was an absolute joy to work with him and his lovely wife, photographer Dionne Kraus. Such professionals, been in the business awhile and made the day soooooo much more than I could have imagined. If you need a DJ or better yet, don't think you need a DJ, you need Craig.

gs before where the DJ had an "I'm a professional, I know what should be played" attitude. Craig on the other hand, did a great job of walking the line between giving us all the things we wanted (and nothing that we specifically banned), and still reading the room as the night went on. We ended up paying to extend the dance portion of the reception because everyone was having such a great time (a request Craig was happy to accommodate), and even with the extra expense, it was quite reasonably priced. We had an absolute blast. Couldn't recommend him more highly! Thanks Craig!

check her out) and so they gave us a discount for booking the two of them together. The two of them are a great package deal, they are both so sweet, and do amazing work. We’ve all been to those weddings where the dance floor is dead. Craig does an incredible job of reading the crowd, and I think every guest was on the dance floor at least once at our wedding. He was great about playing songs from our requested list, and mixing in other songs that would appeal to everyone. Also, his additional equipment such as uplighting really made a difference with the ambiance and appearance of the venue. We are so glad we hired Craig as our DJ, it made a huge difference to have someone be the MC and help run the timeline, and make sure that everybody was having a good time.

e hits all night. He set up and ran our ceremony without a hitch. He also was a great MC through dinner, toasts, cake cutting, etc. And then he kept the dance floor full the ENTIRE night. DJ Craig mixed on site and read the crowd perfectly. 10 out of 10, would rehire again. Thank you Craig!

the flow of the wedding and make comments and announcements at the perfect times and even threw in a hilarious joke or two. He is extremely good at what he does, and was quick and clever enough to play "Splish Splash" when the wedding party decided to take a spontaneous swim during the reception. He kept people on the dance floor all night long and helped us have the best day/night ever!

l more inviting. The music he worked with us on and selected to fill in the space got everyone up and dancing and kept our guests dancing at our reception all night! It even had family members who never dance out on our wedding dance floor. I would highly recommend him.

They make an amazing team!

on our no play list even though guests requested them. He had a confetti cannon shoot off multiple time through out the night keeping the party going! His service also included custom color up-lighting and a monogram light with our initials. Would definitely recommend to anyone needing a DJ for a wedding, party or other event! I'll definitely rebook next time I need a DJ.

and got everybody dancing. What a great DJ, the best.

out, whenever people talk about my wedding they always bring up the dj and how great he was. Thanks Craig for saving my marriage. :)

erally kept us on our feet the whole time! I still have family members calling me and talking about how fun that nights was. We also had people of literally all ages and he was able to accommodate to the teens we had there as well as the older couple whom I'd have thought would never dance :) thank you so much Craig!

ideas and suggestions. His price was amazingly affordable for what he does for you. We never had to worry about his services as he was on top of the ball with everything. He was able to move effortlessly between locations and had all his own supplies. I cannot say how many of my guests told me that they never left the dance floor because every time they were about to, a song came on that they couldn’t pass up! I didn’t think I would dance at my wedding as I’m not a big dancer, but I was on the floor the whole night. He was able to read the room and play what was requested, he was only as involved as we wanted him to be. He also took some great quick photos and videos of us and our guests! He was upbeat, positive, easy going, and flexible. He was seriously the best part of our wedding.

J presence, and he had no qualms respecting our wishes and letting our friends do the MCing, and he even threw in an extra hour of music to keep the party going! We had a great time and he was so friendly and responsive. Highly recommended!

perty on the river so that we could have our reception go late, until 11:30 or so, but our guests were having so much fun on the dance floor that he kept our party going until TWO in the morning, long after the caterers and other staff were gone. He made our wedding reception one that all of our friends rave about! Thank you SO much Craig!
