Spotlight Events (Pro Wedding DJs in Madsion, WI)

finish, and the energy stayed high the entire time. Russell clearly knows how to read a crowd and keep things flowing smoothly. He was also incredibly organized and hands-on, which made planning the timeline and song list stress-free. He checked in frequently to make sure everything matched our vision—sometimes a bit more than we expected, but his attention to detail definitely paid off in the end. If you’re looking for a DJ who’s professional, passionate about their craft, and truly committed to making your event a success, we’d absolutely recommend Russell. Just be ready for someone who’s very passionate about hosting and very involved—but in the best way possible!

re than just a DJ. You are getting someone who is genuinely dedicated to making your night special. With 25+ years of experience, he knows the ins and outs of wedding planning. In our time working with him, he gave us great advice on how to make the night run smoothly and was able to assist with even the smallest details. He was respectful, accountable, friendly, and meticulously worked to make it an awesome night. We are constantly given compliments on how great our DJ was and how much fun they had at the dance! The day of, Russell was so helpful and went above and beyond our expectations. We are so glad we chose Russell as our DJ, he is worth every penny!

wedding was perfect! Russell worked closely with me and my husband from the initial planning stages up until the last song played at our reception. He helped us plan the entire day down to the minute, which helped to relieve some of the overall wedding planning stress. During the reception, there was never an empty dance floor. Russell’s transitions between songs were seamless and he kept the party going all night! All of our guests raved about how great Russell was as a DJ and how much fun they had. Highly recommend using Russell and Spotlight Events for all entertainment services needed for your wedding!

he had the appropriate amount of interaction with the guests. The Grand March was awesome and he included everyone in the event with a group picture. It was extremely hot in the venue. He brought out a fan he had brought along for just this case. He met with the couple several times to be sure they got exactly what they wanted. Flexible pricing but was a little pricey. However, he was worth it!

n music mixing and selection skills, he gave us several great ideas and suggestions from ceremony items to group photos and everything right down to singalong songs to wrap up the night! Our guests continue to also say how much they loved our love letter voice-over that Russ has as an option. If you are on the fence about whether or not to do it, DO IT!!! Weddings can be expensive but cut something out and do the voice-over, it is so unique and unexpected for the guests - it's amazing and it makes us both cry as we listen to it a month later. From the music througout the day of getting ready with our girls, through both cocktail parties and throughout the night - it was all amazing and so well put together. Russ communicated so well before and during the wedding - there was never one time that we felt we were without his help or support. I cannot let the review end without mentioning that his mobile photobooth option was a hit and the attention that he gave to us and our girls at the head table was amazing, always checking in at us during dinner to see if we needed anything. He IS more than a DJ and when he tells you that the music and coordination of it makes the wedding memorable - believe it!

g to follow our wishes for the music that day. Russell clearly enjoys his job and really got into the music. He read the crowd well, saw our nonverbal cues when we wanted to move on to the next thing, and played songs to cater to every generations’ taste. Russell went with the flow and checked in with us throughout the evening to make sure we were enjoying everything. We highly recommend him for your next event!

t. We were able to work very well together and create a truly memorable experience. Russell is so professional and will elevate your event to new heights as he did ours. He is responsive and always willing to chat on the phone. He created a wonderful first dance/voiceover for our clients and has so many fun ideas to get guests involved in the reception. There was never a dull moment which is an invaluable quality in an entertainer! I highly recommend Spotlight Events!

I would call him someone who is amazing working with the other venues, hotel, photographers and all is involved in your wedding. That in itself is a talent and a skill. Our event planner at the hotel commented on how easy it is to work with Russell.

June 28 · spotlight events was who my daughter picked for her wedding DJ....DJ doesn't seem to be the right word for all the work that they did! They were so professional in greeting guests, making sure they knew where gifts were to be placed, what drinks were available, and making sure they knew where the photo booth was, and generally keeping everyone entertained, as well as making sure the dance floor was never empty! I had many of the guests comment to me how great Russ and Greg … See more 0 Comments Sarah Ann recommends Spotlight Events - Music & More. May 18 · Russ was amazing! He DJ’d my graduation party and was involved from the very beginning wanting to ensure that it was personalized to me and my guests. He made sure to check in throughout the event and was quick to adjust to requests and anything else we needed. He was upbeat and personable. I would highly recommend for your event!

y will introduce you, etc.), but with Russell we were able to meet multiple times prior to our big day to ensure we were getting exactly what we wanted at our wedding. He was truly more than a DJ, as he helped us plan our complete wedding timeline and was there to help in any way he could. Our dance floor was packed all night with all the best music played. Throughout the night, we had many guests coming up to us telling us that Russell was the best DJ they had ever experienced and we couldn't agree more.

ry way possible. He planned out our entire playlist for the entire day with us and had a plan B for everything. We spend hours prior to to our wedding day planning out every little detail. You really don't even think about all the things that go into a wedding until you start planning one. We were going to plan the wedding on our own, but Russel basically planned it for us. He kept our timeline on track and made the day so easy for us. My husband and I had such an amazing night!

components of the day. We had that and SO MUCH MORE with Spotlight Events. Russell worked tirelessly to make the day great and it was!! We started planning pre-COVID. The bride, groom, and mother of the bride met with Russell to start making plans for the day. Prior to meeting with him, we had been looking for a wedding day planner also. After meeting with Russell, we knew we had found a great D.J. and wedding planner extraordinaire!!! The day was planned, organized, beautiful, and fun! We could not have pulled off this wonderful event without Spotlight Events!! Russell has so much experience that he knows exactly what works and what does not work. He helped us plan out the entire schedule and music for the day. He provided us and our other vendors with a minute by minute itinerary. Everyone was on the same page. Once COVID hit, we put things on hold to see what would happen. Then they opened things up some and we planned the wedding at our venue. Right after we sent out the invitations, the county shut things down again. With not much more than a month to go, Russell helped us orchestrate a scaled down backyard wedding. It was fabulous!! Russell had a plan A and a plan B, if needed, for everything that day. He gave us so many great suggestions regarding timing. It would have been a mess if left to us. We had people on the dance floor all night. He provided the music for the whole day. Great sound outdoors for the wedding ceremony and reception. Everything went as planned. The music added so much to the day. His planning expertise was priceless! We highly recommend Russell and Spotlight Events. No question we would hire them again. You will be so happy you did!!! mother of the bride

ir flexibility was great. Due to covid 19 our wedding date and venue changed twice, We met with him at both venues during our prep for wedding. We also met with him at his house / Home studio several times to go over all our wedding information and what we wanted. We also went over playlists he had and ones he made up / mixed / mashed up together. The music was awesome the whole night. During dinner and cocktail hour, Russ and his crew kept everything lively, stayed on schedule and helped us stay on track with the nightly schedule. They provided music and microphone for ceremony which turned out great outside. Russ had one of his workers go around during dance and cocktail hour taking really cool pictures / GIFs. Really cool to look back on. Also he provided someone on a video recorder taping our ceremony and the whole night. He kept the dance floor always busy. Provided some really cool accent lighting and provided us as a gift with led colored masks to wear during night. Russ was always very responsive, worked around our schedule and always made the most of our time. Him and his crew did an absolute great job even during a pandemic. They also always wore masks to keep everyone safe. He met with us at the venues well before the dates to go over what he thinks would work best for all of his equipment. He made a great cocktail hour playlist as well as several different fun sets we went over with him and he showed us and played them during the night. We just received the video of our ceremony which turned out great and will always be fun to look back on with family and friends. Once again we would really like to thank Russ and his team for providing us an awesome experience and we would honestly not change one thing that he provided for us. It was perfect!! We highly recommend him !

the customer service on the business side of Spotlight Events. To start, we had issues with the quote/contract we were given. The first thing Spotlight Events will have you do is call prior clients to ask about their experiences with the DJ. While they all had great things to say, we asked them about the invoice total. We were skeptical on our quote because when we met with Russell he told us it would be an extra $1,000 for him to be our DJ (versus his other DJ). This was not mentioned prior to our meeting so we were a little surprised about this extra fee. When talking to prior clients, (two different couples) neither of them were charged the extra $1,000. Russell claims this was because they did not specifically ask for his services, but he ended up being the only DJ available... At the end of the day, we still moved forward with Spotlight Events, but felt there should have been more transparency with the invoice. A couple of months later, Covid comes along and we had to make drastic changes to our wedding plans (225 people down to 25). We no longer were going to have a dance floor and did not need a DJ for our very small wedding. Spotlight Events would not refund our down payment. Yes, there is a contract. Every wedding vendor has contracts, but Spotlight Events was the ONLY vendor that would not refund our money. These contracts do not address global pandemics and at the end of day Russell was the only one that held that contract against us. Russell did give us an option to transfer our down payment to another couple. We had two different couples approach him. They both wanted a basic DJ service; no special lighting or other additions. Russell would not allow them to have a basic package. Essentially, to use our down payment he was requiring them to have a minimum DJ package; making it extremely difficult for us to transfer our down payment. This entire process has been exhausting and stressful so we have decided to give up.

our DJ. My control issues have been put at ease with wedding planning because of Russell. We are SO excited for our wedding and would not recommend anyone but him!!

iled outline of the day, songs that should play during every portion of the day. I did this because I wanted to make sure I was happy with the service. Sadly, that didn’t help and I was left very disappointed. To outline the details of what went wrong: • Russell didn’t play songs that were on our playlist that were explicit and never explained why or told us beforehand (he did however tell my brother and future sister-in-law after the fact that he will not play music with swear words because of his brand – if he had told us this when we first met, we would’ve hired a different DJ) o The music should be customized to us and what we want. Russell lets his personal opinions dictate what he plays o He made a comment to a bridesmaid about a song that was playing being “inappropriate” – this to me is totally unacceptable. A DJ’s thoughts on a song, especially one REQUESTED by the couple, should be kept to themselves o This comment came off extremely judgmental and that is worse a brand than playing songs with swear words in it o Too many party mixes were played (not from my playlist)– my aunt couldn’t tell he was playing a certain song until he was asked to play the original • The wrong song was played for the grand march so we had to tell him to play the correct song • The volume was off – our venue was open and we heard multiple people after the fact saying the music was too low. I have some empathy for this because I know there were some older guests who asked to turn it down so that was conflicting with direction from others who asked him to turn it up • Requests – we were asked if we want him to play our guest’s requests and we said yes. I should’ve said yes, if the request is fitting. A request was played from the Phantom of the Opera and it needed to stop as soon as it started. It was not appropriate for our wedding, or at almost any wedding at 8 pm • There is a fine line when a DJ talks too much at weddings but it was like he wasn’t even there – Russell didn’t say anything besides introducing us at the grand march and dance. There was no assistance from him to get people on the dance floor during the reception • Songs were cut way too soon – if a song is popular and people are out on the dance floor, why would it be cut short? • I asked for a song to be played, my husband also asked when it still wasn't played, and we asked again. A bride & groom should NEVER have to wait to hear a song they request immediately. Ultimately, I value the DJ so much at weddings. They really make the party happen (with the help of alcohol, of course) and every time we met or spoke with Russell he made it seem like he knew exactly that and was confident he would do that. The dance floor on my wedding day was rarely full and left me very disappointed. Russell came up to us throughout the evening and asked if we needed anything, brought us appetizers, etc. That was very nice at the time but now I wish he would’ve just focused on being the DJ instead of our personal attendant. Plenty of people could have brought us drinks but no one else could DJ. Spotlight Events offers a lot of services: lighting, photobooth, etc. We didn’t purchase any extras so I’m not sure if as much care and attention was put into our wedding compared to those who may have spent more.

or a better wedding DJ. Highly recommend!

did not usually take note of DJs but highly recommend Spotlight Events. She explained how professional they were and how nice of a job they did. When I asked for the contact information, she was so protective of the business card, she would not even let me hold the card to take a picture. When we met with Russell, he went through everything in detail which helped us layout our wedding day schedule. He always answered the phone when we called and was flexible with meeting times. He was genuinely excited to DJ our wedding and cared about our day. On the day of the wedding, Russell and Greg came very early to set up everything for our ceremony and reception. They helped direct guests to where they had to go for the ceremony, brought us refreshments while we were taking photos, ran the photo booth (which was a hit!) and asked our guests during dinner for music requests. My husband and I highly recommend Spotlight Events!

ould forget. Much more than just a DJ, Russell made our night very personal - he interacted with our guests, and even played bartender for the wedding party! Our guests are still talking about how our wedding was the best one they had ever been to, and Russell had a large part in it. As we entered our reception, any worries we had were gone when we saw Russell. Russell was there to greet the wedding party with a variety of drinks and catered to our needs so we could enjoy as much time as possible with guests. He took the time in the planning process with us to know what our hopes were for our big day. We knew exactly what songs he would be playing, and in turn, he knew how to pronounce everyone’s name in the wedding party along with our timeline for the night. And he did an extraordinary job in keeping us on time throughout the night. Russell also went above and beyond by putting together our love story for our first dance which was the highlight of our wedding to many of our guests. We are so thankful that Russell was there to fulfill our one greatest request of having a packed dance floor for the night. We accomplished that goal with his amazing music and upbeat attitude. It was always packed to the point where our reception staff even had to fix the dance floor a few times throughout the night! We would highly recommend Russell for any event, whether wedding, birthday, or anything else. He was so catering to us, working to add any unique idea we had and was unbelievably flexible if last minute changes happened during the night. Thank you again, Russ!

with his professionalism, personal touch! THANKS RUSSELL!!!!

e. He helped us with scheduling our big day and keeping us on track. The dance floor was never empty, and he's amazing at reading the crowd and keeping it fun! (And we had 250 guests!) Our day went so smoothly, and he was a huge component of that. I would highly recommend Russell for your wedding!

for the day of. We really appreciated how much Russell listened to us and worked with any changes we made, even changes we made on the day of. During the reception, he did an amazing job - there was never an empty dance floor and we received so many compliments on how fun our wedding was!

helps you with the timeline for your special day takes care of all your guests and has the best music in town! We have used Russell Welch - Spotlight Events for two of our children's weddings. In fact if he was already booked for the date our daughter chose for her wedding we would have moved the date in order to have Russell. He is so flexible and has great ideas to add that special touch to fit you and your guests. The voice over on the first dance is so special, all our guests commented after that they had never experienced anything like this before. They came away really knowing the Bride and Groom and how they met. Russell keeps everyone dancing from the first dance to the end of the night. I highly recommend Russell and will not use anyone else! Sheena B

ssed by his good communication and friendly manner. Together, they crafted Must Play and Must Not Play lists and discussed how the music would progress throughout the evening. At the event, the sound system for the speeches worked flawlessly and Russell helped transition smoothly from one talk to the next. When it came time to dance, Russell knew what to play to keep our group on the dance floor having fun, and he even joined us for a polka! It was wonderful to find a DJ who could be fun and entertaining, keep the night moving, all while keeping the focus on the bride and groom. Spotlight Events could not have delivered more!

aspects of the wedding. This is not just a DJ service, it is a true entertaining experience. Russell went above and beyond making sure everyone was participating and having a great time. There was never a dull moment on the dance floor and our pictures showed everyone truly enjoying themselves. The magic mirror was amazing and the personal love story was both an emotional and unforgettable moment at our wedding. Spotlight Events is worth every penny for the experience. I highly recommend Russell for your wedding!

vendors for our wedding. He is one of the most knowledgeable, easiest to work with music professionals we met. He was able to answer all of the questions we had, suggested appropriate ideas for our entertainment, and provided top-notch MC service on the night of our wedding. We opted for the Love Story add-on for our first dance and had a wonderful time with him while recording it and were incredibly pleased with how it turned out. The up-lighting was great, and after a minor miscommunication, was easily adapted to our event. We received nothing but positive remarks about the music selection from all of our guests we spoke to. They had a nice blend of classics and modern music that got just about everyone out on the dance floor. Greg is a wonderful person overall and was great to work with. You are absolutely in good hands if you choose Spotlight Events.

re we felt comfortable with every detail. His experience and thoughtfulness made planning for the day a piece of wedding cake. We leaned on Greg to play tasteful music for our ceremony and to play music that kept the dance floor occupied and he did a great job. Many guests commented throughout the night how great our DJ was and we still get compliments months after saying how great our wedding/DJ was. We also had a special Grand March planned that a friend helped us with. Greg was fantastic and was able to mix music/audio live to make the entrance go incredibly smooth. He is a true professional and you can be extremely confident in his ability. Greg even drove to our venue the night of our rehearsal so we could practice to the actual ceremony music! We were blown away. We highly suggest booking Greg with Spotlight Events. He will make your day even more memorable than you ever thought possible.

w awesome the music was. Everyone said our wedding was a great party and Russell was a big part in that!

Blackhawk Country Club). The music and sound systems far exceeded our expectations! First the ceremony: I've been to several outdoor ceremonies where no one can hear the music and the speaking. The outdoor space at Holy Wisdom is large - like a prairie setting - and everyone could hear! The walk through the prairie to the seated guests and archway where the couple got married was a very long distance. Russell did a GREAT job keeping the music loop going. It took some time for the grandparents to walk down and get seated and the song was nearing the end; I thought for sure I would be walking down in silence. But Russell had it covered! Without missing a beat, the music looped and continued flawlessly. The ceremony music was loud enough for everyone to hear and enjoy. Russell started playing while the guests were being seated, and I heard a lot of positive feedback about the pre-ceremony music. He played fun music after the ceremony while the couple ushered their guests out of their seats. (My daughter had made a playlist, and Russell stuck to her preferences.) Also, the sound system was great with respect to hearing the officiant and the couple exchange their vows. The reception: Russell was all set up and ready when my husband and I got to Blackhawk. He had great background music playing and also greeted guests asking for requests. Again, the sound system for all the speeches was great! All guests could hear the speeches, and I again heard great feedback about this. Russell played nice dinner music and quickly went into the dance as requested. THERE WAS NEVER A TIME WHEN THE DANCE FLOOR WAS NOT FULL! I could not believe it! Russell kept the music loop going and played a nice range of music types. He also stuck to my daughter's "Do Not Play" list. I would definitely hire Russell/Spotlight Events again. I recommend this business without reservation. Music is a HUGE part of a successful wedding day, and I am so happy my daughter choose Spotlight Events.

rty drinks, to planning the entire event. He took care of the smallest details to the biggest. I don't think our wedding would of been flawless without him. The most unique part of his DJ skills is the voice-over during the special dances. Every single guest gets pulled in and is truly part of the moment. I would choose Russell over and over again!

w of the reception. I grew up in the Madison area, but we live in Kansas so we were planning the wedding from out of state which was pretty stressful. After talking to Russell over the phone once, I knew we could cross DJ questions off the list of things to worry about. Russell added so much to our reception, from the flow of the evening, to the music that kept people on the dance floor all night. He even played us an extra song at the end of the night when it was really just the last of our friends dancing. I highly recommend working with Russell for your event.

th some accolades, I had a several good friends confide that our reception was one of the most fun receptions that they had been to for weddings and while I was flattered it was definitely due in large part to our wonderful DJ. Second, I was a bit skeptical of how much we really needed a DJ before the wedding, but some of my friends convinced me I was being crazy and my wife also said it would make her more comfortable not having to worry about any technical difficulties or problems arising from not having someone constantly manning the music. All that being said, I was foolish to think that we didn't need a DJ because Russel added so much more to the wedding reception than merely "pushing play" on playlist. He helped smooth over the gaps in our planning for our entrance to the reception by asking us for just the information he needed and then took care of the rest. He was constantly on top of the mood on the dance floor and switching music genres and songs to get more people involved; there wasn't a single moment where there was nobody on the dance floor the entire night! In fact, during some portions he even got out on the dance floor himself to enjoy himself and keep the spirit alive since he was quite a skilled dancer as well. He honored all of our ridiculous song requests as well, expertly transitioning into the song and not overplaying it if people weren't feeling it. All of this came with veeerry little required input on our side of things. We told him generally that we wanted music to start "classic" in the beginning and shift into younger more current music towards the middle and end of the evening and we also told him the songs for the special dances at the beginning. Everything else was his doing, leaving us to enjoy the wonderful evening. If I had known in advance how much Russel would have added to the evening, I would not have even hesitated to hire a DJ, but I sure am glad that we ended up going with Spotlight Entertainment. I've read a good handful of the other reviews on here and they also seem to echo our experiences, so it seems that consistency is yet another great quality that Russel brings to the table.

I can't express how amazing they were to be there to celebrate our wedding day, Spotlight Events made the day so much more special.

xceed our current expectations of him. He and his team hit it out of the park. Russell provided a fantastic night of entertainment during our wedding. He was professional, charismatic, meticulous, and helpful. During our meetings, Russell used his experience to answer many of the timing questions we had regarding the day’s schedule. This helped us put all of the events and time-frames into perspective and eased our minds as to the multiple aspects of the day (cake cutting, grand march, photos, etc.). All of this was before we even discussed the music. When we created our playlist, it was customized to our tastes. However, it was not an overwhelming task due to the amount of work he put in prior to the meeting. We had to make a lot of decisions between a few songs, which is far more manageable than planning every single song we would use. It is also more special than a cookie-cutter playlist that any DJ could prepare for all weddings. Additionally, he was fantastic with the crowd, and he was able to gauge how to keep the party going. The end result was a wedding and reception where everyone had a blast with a packed dance floor until the end. In fact, even the pastor mentioned that it was the most fun wedding she had ever officiated. We have nothing but good things to say about our experience. Please utilize Spotlight Events as everyone deserves the best wedding possible, and this company is worth every penny.

nd the photo booth were both awesome and we would highly recommend spotlight events for any weddings or special events. We had many people throughout our wedding night comment on how wonderful spotlight events was and how they constantly kept everyone on the dance floor. Russell is not only engaging, but was a very approachable person who interacted well with the guests. He sat us down to help create our timeline and was very open to our ideas and wishes. Our Love Story for our first dance brought tears to many. 5/5 stars!

o started playing. He played good music the whole night, kept everyone dancing, everyone really enjoyed it.

t Spotlight Events put into making sure our wedding was exactly what we wanted it to be. They planned out everything to be what we wanted (music, lighting, extras, logistics coordination, etc) and were able to make changes to anything at any point beforehand and throughout the night to make sure that we and our guests had as much fun as possible. We are still receiving overwhelming feedback about how much our guests enjoyed their time and the show Russell put on. He truly did make it a unique experience that was tailored to fit our our personalities and the mood of our wedding. The personal touches Russell adds as a DJ to make each experience (mother-son/father-daughter dances, cake cutting, speeches) special are second to none. This is so much more than just a DJ playing music. This is a full production and it is clear to everyone there that this will not be your average reception. Guests absolutely loved the unique photo mirror and atmosphere created in our reception venue. Often overlooked is the DJ setup itself. Russell has a clean, classy setup for his equipment that does not take away from the reception space. It does not intrude in any way and this is something that stood out significantly and could not be more appreciated. BOTTOM LINE: You will not find a better, more personal and professional experience. Period.

uld ever imagine, he through in some surprise voice messages from love ones that couldn't make it to our wedding (which brought us all to very happy tears). I recommend them to everyone! If you are looking for an entertainment that will go over and above all of your expectations, Spotlight Events is where you need to turn! Russell, pours his heart and soul into making your special day perfect. He really helps you to plan a timeline for the day of your wedding. Russell really focuses on what your expectations are for the reception. We wanted a memorable reception where everyone was dancing the entire night dancing, we had our wedding on new years eve and it was nonstop dancing and celebrating with a new years countdown! Russell did such an amazing job with fun and upbeat music selection that was fun for all ages. We also did the voice-over/love story for our first dance it brought everyone to tears and surprised all our guests who wished they could have had something so special for their wedding. He was even involved in our ceremony making a special song cut of "lava you" and the music from "UP" to fit in to our disney/pixar themed wedding based around the movie "UP". Since he has so many years of experience he told us that we should do our first dance right after the grand march. Spotlight Events had the lighting system absolutely perfect. Russell made a special playlist for our guest to enjoy during our pre-ceremony gathering we had for those to go to before our wedding so our guests never had down time and were constantly entertained, enjoying our celebration even when we weren't able to be around. Kept the whole wedding moving with a seamless flow. He made sure to make announcements as to when we were arriving, cutting cake, etc. Spotlight Events was the absolute best DJ service I have ever experienced when attending a wedding. Want your wedding day to be perfect, you can count on Russell, I highly recommend his services!

nitely entertained throughout the night and he really plays a great selection of music. Russell takes the time to get to know you and offers you so much advice and great thoughts.

light Events is where you need to turn! Russell, with Spotlight Events, literally pours his heart and soul into making your special day perfect. He really helps you to plan a timeline for the day of your wedding. Russell really focuses on what your expectations are for the reception. We wanted a memorable reception where everyone was dancing the entire night dancing. Russell did such an amazing job with fun and upbeat music selection that was fun for all ages - we had people on the dance floor the entire time! We also did the voice-over/love story for our first dance it was so much fun to make and such a surprise and fun to listen to! Since he has so many years of experience he told us that we should do our first dance right after the grand march, which was such an amazing idea!! Spotlight Events had the lighting system absolutely perfect. Russell got to our reception hall really early the day of our wedding to make sure that he had all of the sound system and lighting just perfect -and he did!!! Also, as guests were arriving to the reception he was so accommodating and after the wedding party arrived, such a huge help with making sure everything kept flowing. He made sure to make announcements as to when we were arriving, cutting cake, etc. Spotlight Events was the absolute best DJ service I have ever seen and heard and I wouldn't change a thing!

ted flow for the evening and gave us great advice about timing various activities. He made a custom dinner-music mix themed to the party to add to the atmosphere while guests were enjoying the meal. The Spotlight Voice Over during the Father/Daughter dance got such an emotional response from our guests that some of them are still talking about it months later. The dance mix kept everyone involved all night long and so many of our guests told us that this was by far the best DJ they had ever experienced. We agree wholeheartedly!

pt the party going and made sure the dance floor was always full. He checked in with us throughout the night to make sure we were happy with how things were going. He provided entertainment for our guests, either with mini bike races or dancing behind his booth (seriously, so fun to watch!). We chose to do the voice over "love story" for our first dance. This was the highlight of our event and I'm so thankful to have that recording to keep forever. Russell was a bit out of our budget but he was worth every penny.

aving a good time. Russ really works hard to make sure your day goes smoothly! Plus the photobooth is easy to work and such a fun way for your guests to leave their mark! I would highly recommend his services.

oto booth and beautiful lighting he provided, and when my husband and I didn’t feel entirely comfortable with the Voice Over Love Story during our first dance, he coordinated with our parents to do Voice Overs during our father daughter and mother son dances. Family is so important to us and we loved that he knew that and was able to incorporate it so beautifully into our day. He had a variety of music choices and went over everything with us in advance to make sure we kept the party going all night. He was even able to incorporate some of our weirder music choices so our reception was very “us”. I would 100% recommend Spotlight Events to everyone!

ssell, dj from Spotlight Events. He welcome the bride and groom into the studio of his home where he personally got to know each one of them. On the day of the wedding, many of the wedding guests commented on how they were taken back that the dj had greeted them at the door making them feel welcome. I have attended many wedding receptions where the dj plays music but the guests do not dance. This was not the case. The reception was so much fun and the music was excellent for all ages. Keeping the dance floor full the entire evening. I would highly recommend Spot Events! Thank you Russell.
