Total Event Audio & Lighting

Literally fantastic. Joel is the best DJ out there! He made sure everything was perfect for us. From the ceremony to the end of the night, everything was perfect and free flowing! 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!

Joel and the crew did wonderful with music and announcing on our big day! We also had 2 Zoom meetings prior to make sure it was all good. The only complaint I have is name mispronunciations. 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.

Joel and Marianna were amazing!! They made sure everything ran smoothly and kept it stress free the whole time! Something else that made everything seamless was the communication beforehand. 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.

We hired Total Events Audio & Lighting for my daughter's October wedding. They did an excellent job of communicating with my daughter prior to the event - they let her know that they 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.

I cannot rave about them enough! I've never seen the dance floor so packed full for the entire event except when when they DJ!

BOOK THEM. YOU WILL BE PASSING UP AN AMAZING TEAM IF YOU DON’T! Okay so this review will be about both lighting and DJ, but I will start with lighting since this was by far the biggest 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!!!!!!!!!

Outdoor ceremony music & mics, indoor reception music & lighting was PERFECT. From the first meeting I could tell Nathan was going to make sure he had all necessary information from us so that the evening ran as smooth as possible, & that it did! Our guest absolutely loved him!!

Total Event Audio was the life of the reception. They met with us several time to make sure all our needs and wants were met.

Love, love, love Total Event Audio & Lighting! Joel and Nathan were so great to work with - they were extremely professional, on time, helpful and nice. The lights they hung for an 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

These guys were the best! Nathan and Joel were excellent and easy to work with. They were quick to respond to emails, flexible with our requests and even came out to the venue to scope 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!

Nathan was AWESOME! We had an afternoon wedding and no exageration there wasn't a single moment when the dance floor was empty. We jumped on a call the week of the wedding and he did everything like we'd discussed. Highly recommend!!!

Joel with Total Event Audio & lighting was a pleasure to work with! We wanted a small low cost wedding. It was very difficult to find a reasonable DJ within our price range that would 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!
