Total Event Audio & Lighting

reciate the heck outta him!

He is also the nicest guy, and he wants to do a great job in all he does! We wanted to do the shoe game at our wedding and with all of my planning I completely forgot to look up questions for it or look into it and Joel completely took control of it and had a whole list of questions for us and I really appreciate it, I didn't realize he would come up with those questions for us! Throughout our wedding he gave us shout outs, he stuck to the schedule and adjusted if needed, the music was perfect, and he made our guest laugh at the best times. We had a great experience with them and I would recommend them!

nunciations. We made it pretty clear how to say each name multiple times, and most were done well. Unfortunately, I (the bride) had my name at our grand reception entrance pronounced wrong. We laughed it off, but it was a bummer for sure... Overall though, we were impressed.

eforehand. Joel was AWESOME about working with us and even met beforehand to get a timeline together! I cannot recommend them enough!! He is also so nice and Marianna kept the crowd dancing. They are seriously amazing and their prices were great! If I have any events that need a DJ in the future I will be calling them.

hey had been contacted by the event's planner and made sure that they had the list of songs / music that my daughter wanted to be played. They showed up on time and had everything set and ready to go in plenty of time prior to the wedding. The DJ did an excellent job of getting guests out on the dance floor. When there was a 'lull", he did switch music and got everyone dancing again. The guests all had a great time and enjoyed the music. They did a couple's dance for who had been married the longest, and my parent's of 60 years of marriage won and the DJ interviewed them both asking for advice to the newlywed couple which was nice. I would recommend them for your DJ needs. They are professional and do a great job.

gest element of my reception. We had our wedding in the woods at a location that had no lights at all. I first talked with Joel on the phone and explain my initial ideas to him and shared some inspiration pictures. Joel is so nice and easy to talk to and has really good ideas! I loved talking with him because he seemed to be excited about my ideas which made me feel great! I scheduled a meeting to meet them on site because this was going to be a big lighting job. Joel and Nathan both came to the site even before I had booked with them. As soon as we all got there they had great ideas about how to make it truly magical! I even had created a 3D drawing in virtual reality to show them how I wanted our sweetheart table to look and they said no problem! I booked with them after that meeting because I knew I found a great team! We had several other phone meetings and even met another time in person to go over the final lighting plan! Joel had diagrams prepared and we went over in detail the uplights, string lights, tree wrappings, cake lights, pin spots for paths, and lighting for people to get to their cars. The first time I saw the lighting was after the ceremony when my husband and I would have our private dinner in the reception area. I LITERALLY CRIED BECAUSE IT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL. They made it so magical that words really can’t describe it!!!!!! That sweetheart table I mentioned earlier was literally perfect. Take a look at the pictures below!!!! I will update if I can with professional photos when I get them but just look at how beautiful of a job they did. It was perfect and I couldn’t have been happier. Guests were BLOWN AWAY with the lighting!!! I wish I could relive that day everyday because the pictures just don’t do it justice like it was in person! Okay so DJ time! I had some odd requests for songs for the ceremony music since they aren’t on itunes or spotify. They made it so easy for me to get them the songs I wanted! Created a shared google drive and I just dropped them in and they were ready to go! The music quality was fawless. Super crisp and clear as well was the microphones we used! The cocktail area, same thing, they added a speaker there for us so guests could continue to listen to my playlist. The speakers they used at the reception were fantastic!!!!!!! Super clear sound and always at an appropriate volume! Nathan was great! He always kept people on the dancefloor and made great choices for songs! Guests loved the music. Side note that I thought was really cool, since we had up lighting in the trees, they had them at a soft white for the dinner and changed colors for them when the dancing started! Super cool! I was just blown away by Joel and Nathan and couldn’t be happier that we found them for our wedding! Please do yourselves a favor and book with them. One of the best decisions we made for our wedding. INCREDIBLE. Thank you so much Joel and Nathan!!!!!!!!!

m us so that the evening ran as smooth as possible, & that it did! Our guest absolutely loved him!!

outdoor area at my daughter's wedding added such a nice effect. They were extremely willing to meet with us to discuss plans and work with our ideas. I loved the whiskey barrels they used to secure the lights - they added just the right touch. On the very busy day of the wedding they arrived on time and got to work without us having to get involved. The result was gorgeous! I would highly recommend these guys

cope out the work prior to our wedding. On the big day, they were on time, professional, and got their stuff done! We had them set up some outdoor cafe lighting that extended to poles on top of whiskey barrels (provided by Total Event Audio & Lighting) and it was perfect for the style of our event. We would highly recommend them!

id everything like we'd discussed. Highly recommend!!!

uld do the ceremony and reception. When I contacted Joel he was very quick to respond and gave me several options in different price ranges. When I told him that we just wanted to keep it simply with no extra lighting or flashiness, he didn't try to pressure me or up-sell anything. Joel stayed in contact with me through the planning process to make sure I didn't need help with anything. We met at the venue two weeks before the wedding to review details. He provided us with a great wedding worksheet to plan times for all of our big moments and he kept the party rolling. Overall I would definitely recommend Total Event Audio over any of those high price "want to be a celebrity" DJs. Our ceremony and reception were seamless and Joel and his wife were a big reason why!
