Ultimate Party Central

We used Nick and UPC for our wedding on 8/25. John and I couldn't have chosen a better DJ for our wedding. The dance floor was exploding all night long! The music was a perfect balance of new hits and appealed to everyone. The video montage that Nick created for us was amazing and our intros got our party started off just right! I remember looking into our room from a far as my husband and I waited to be announced, we were on a upstairs in a room away from our guests so we were looking on into the room without being noticed. We heard our bridal party getting announced and the vibes from that ballroom were electrifying!! I truly believe that's all thanks to Nick and his crew! They set the tone (pun-intended) =) - Nick was always so responsive and his excitement for our event got us excited for it too! He always followed through on calls we scheduled, the portal where you update your details and requests was super user friendly and totally customizable which was great as well! Nick's personality as a business person is unmatched. We've never met someone more positive, family oriented and truly genuine. For that alone UPC was a perfect choice for us on such an important day. Thanks to Nick and the team for keeping our dance floor packed and for showing us and our guests a great time! <3

My wedding was September 23, 2017. The staff of UPC were absolutely amazing and gave me more than I could ever ask for. My photographers were Umberto and Manny, videographers were Kurt and Jozef, the video editor was George, and the person who coordinated everything I could ever want or need was Nick. As a bride I knew I wanted to make sure my photos a videos were perfect since those are the physical memories that you take with you after the day is over. The staff listened to everything I wanted and gave me amazing memories. Not only are they all extremely professional and accommodating they are all amazing people and we had the best time with them all day. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for amazing photos and videos, they truly made my day special and more memorable then I could have ever imagined. Our same day edit is on their youtube channel called Megan and Mike SDE Royal Manor. Out experience was nothing short of perfection and I will definitely be using them again the future for whatever our future has in store for us. Five stars is not enough for all of them! My day would not have been then same without them! When reaching out to them ask for Nick, he has the best personality and really listens to what you really want out of your day and definitely works with you to make the best possible outcome. Love Love Love UPC!!!!!!!!

My name is KerriLynn and my now Husband is Carl. We go married on July 7, 2018. Our day was the most magical day ever starting from the weather to our Photographer Ashlee, Videographer Pete and DJ Chris and MC Jason. We had spoke to Chris (who is the Disney wedding DJ) twice before the wedding to go over what we both wanted and what we expected since our group was very diverse. All I can say is they NAILED IT!!!!! They played all the music that suited our wedding from all ages. My 19 month old niece was even on the floor dancing it was awesome. They had the crowd going the whole time. They even honored our wish to keep our wedding extremely intimate. All my guests told us it was the best most intimate and loving wedding they had ever been to, and I agree. If you go with DJ from UPC request Chris you will NOT be disappointed!!! You must have him Ashlee our photographer was amazing, she was not just a photographer she was a hair fixer, anxiety calmer, schedule coordinator, helped with my bussel, you would have thought she was a bridesmaid. She took amazing beautiful pictures, got along with all my guests and made sure all the shots were perfect and what we wanted. Her personality worked so well with myself and my husband she was amazing!!!! Request Ashlee you will NOT be disappointed she truly helped me get through my day. Pete was our videographer. He went right along with Ashlee, he pretty much taped everything and was really good about asking if it was ok to shoot things and asked us a lot if there were things we wanted on tape. He was great. I can't wait until we get the final products, our wedding book, our video and pictures. UPC came through and our guests are still talking about how great our wedding was and they want to do it again, we do too!!! Thank you all so much for the amazing day at a fantastic price, they didn't break the wallet but with all we got you would think it would. 10 stars to UPC THANK YOU for making our dreams come true!!!

My wedding was on Nov 18 and my photographer Ashley went above abd beyond. I can truly say that my day will not be the same without Ashley.. Thank you very much

Our recent experience with UPC was nothing short of perfection. I came across UPC by a bridal show. When I first contacted UPC, I could tell they were going to be a great fit because they were so friendly, approachable, down to earth, and not at all pushy. My fiance and I met with Tara the owner and head photographer. We immediately loved her- she made us feel so comfortable! In my mind it was most important to have a someone we felt comfortable with! We loved Tara so much that we booked her on the spot, and added on a DJ/MC, videographer and Photo booth. It was awesome and convenient to do the "one stop shop"! The pricing at UPC was also far better than the other places I had researched. Leading up to our big day, Tara was easy to reach and calmed our nerves with reassurance. When you book this company they truly care about making you happy, which is a beautiful thing. On the day of our wedding the showed up early and went right to work. They worked amazing with everyone! We had Umberto for a photographer and he was amazing. He knew all the shots, and had so much fun with us. Kurt Was our videographer and he is just amazing and so down to earth. Nikki K was our DJ and he made sure that we had an amazing time at the reception. Danny was our MC and he had everyone laughing. Nikki K/Danny Combination is a must! I cannot say enough good things about UPC! You will not be disappointed! Brides: Please make your lives easier by booking UPC, you won't regret it!!! The wedding planning process can be difficult at times, by booking with UPC it will be a smooth process and the company is amazing!

We had the best experience with our photographers from Ultimate Party Central for our wedding. From our engagement shoot to the actual day, the photographers and staff made sure that everything came out amazing and that we were happy with the product we were receiving. Everyone is extremely friendly and there are a ton of options to make sure that your special day is everything that you dreamed of. We love our pictures so much and the photo album process is so fun! If we could do it all over again we would 100% choose UPC again!

September 10th 2017, will surely be a day we remember forever. From our very first meeting, UPC made us feel very comfortable and confident that they would exceed our expectations on having nothing short of the best experience possible. Nick and Tara went above and beyond to ensure we had the best wedding possible. Umberto, our photographer, was very energetic and truly captured some amazing shots. Chris, the MC, definitely created an awesome vibe, and really kept the guests entertained. Overall, we are more than impressed with the quality of services provided, and would highly recommend UPC and their team, as they truly aim to impress. Once again, Thank You UPC, for a night we'll never forget!!!

UPC WAS THE ONE FOR ME!!! We booked Ultimate Party Central after meeting at a bridal show and immediately hitting it off with the sales team. We booked both DJ/MC and video; I had to do 2 different reviews because we loved both of our teams but they do 2 entirely different things! Kurt was our videographer… what a sweet, genuine, down to earth professional! We didn’t give him a whole lot of time before the church and he came, literally in the middle of chaos! He started by introducing himself to my bridal party and asked, “Where’s the dress?” and off he went. I officially met and introduced myself to him once I was in my dress and he was wonderful! He and my photographers worked like a well-oiled machine, you would’ve thought they worked together for YEARS. The day of our pictures was the Zombie Walk in Asbury Park; he even climbed into our limo our way to avoid major parking issues! At the church, he was the boutonniere extraordinaire! Without him, none of the boys would’ve had them on. I can only imagine what our video will look like, but UPC allowed me to request raw footage of our day as well as the cinematic film at the last minute! At the end of the night, Kurt came personally to say bye to the both of us, and by that time, he was family! Huge hugs and laughter ensued. I truly hope he’s there when they present us our DVD so we can shower him with accolades again! As a whole, they are punctual, professional, and amazing! HIRE THEM! You won’t be disappointed! Thank you for making our day stress free Kurt, you are one of a kind, and we are SO elated they paired you with us!

UPC IS THE PLACE TO BE!!! We booked Ultimate Party Central after meeting at a bridal show and immediately hitting it off with the sales team. We booked both DJ/MC and video; I had to do 2 different reviews because we loved both of our teams but they do 2 entirely different things. Chris and Kenny were our DJ/MC. My husband is Egyptian, so we needed a DJ who has worked with that culture and crowd before, and if they knew a belly dancer that was a bonus! Not only were they completely comfortable and familiar, they had a wide range of Arabic music that our DJ played at the drop of a hat! Nick and Tara recommended Sasha, our belly dancer, and we could not have been happier! Our MC asked us how to pronounce the names of our wedding party, and then double-checked with them right before announcing. They were lifesavers!! They assisted us with our wedding song, for some reason it wasn’t the right pace, and they sped it up so we could do our dance. All our guests RAVED about the music! We had the perfect blend of American and Egyptian music, our dance floor was PACKED the entire night! The volume of the music was FANTASTIC for the space, it wasn’t too loud during dinner, and everyone was still able to mingle and talk. They even played our nerdy line dance requests towards the end, meaning there was no awkward icebreaker line dance…. they did it once we were well into partying and NO ONE cared what they were dancing to! This company is punctual, professional, and amazing… HIRE THEM! You won’t be disappointed! Thank you for assisting in making our reception kick ass gentleman! You rock!

best dj and mc. my dj was Charlie and mc was Rich, if you want a great wedding request them they are nothing but the best. they kept the party live and I can't thank you enough Jen and melissa 10-14-17

Honestly five stars doesn't even cut it for how amazing the entire staff is at Ultimate Party Central!! We heard about you guys through my brother who's wedding you djed for. After the amazing job you guys did we knew that UPC was it for our wedding. We got married on 10/13/17. Throughout the whole planning process everything was so simple. We used UPC for dj, photo, video, and photo booth. Every single person who we worked with made us feel like family. You all greeted us with open arms. We haven't heard one bad thing from our guest about any of the services you all provided. Everyone has said that it was the best wedding they've ever been to. All night our dance floor was filled and the set list was amazing! My goal for the night was to dance my butt off and you guys definitely helped me do that! We can't even thank you all enough for everything you've done! You all are truly the best! Craig and Jessica Soden

We hired UPC for our wedding on 9/23/17 at the English Manor. We could not have had a better DJ. They rocked the house and had everyone up dancing all night long. We had a blast! We included the drummer with the package, which I would highly recommend to any bride. It totally transformed the music! Can't go wrong with UPC - they know how to break it down!!! Thanks for making our event a total smash!!!!!

UPC! What can we say , AMAZING! I meet them at a wedding expo , when I went home and started their information with my now husband something just felt right. For the consultation we meet with Nick and John before we left the consultation we booked UPC. We just knew after meeting them we had to have them for our entertainment and photos at our wedding . Every step of the way they were easy and professional to work with. The entire staff treated us more like family then just clients . We had Jon as our MC , his energy kept the dance floor full all night long . Nick was a wonder Dj and played a variety of music all night . Justin helped the guest with the photo booth . The guest had a great time using the props that UPC provided for the photo booth. Frank and Umberto were amazing photographers and captured every detail of our special day ! Tara was great with designing the photo album and ensuring we had everything we needed and want . The entire staff was beyond amazing and goes above and beyond. We look forward to working with them again in the future !

Ultimate Party Central was awesome. They made everything so easy every step of the way. Jon was great and kept the party going all night long. Umberto took gorgeous photos and took so many which was great. I would recommend anyone to use Ultimate Party Central for their wedding.

Our wedding was last Friday September 15th and we had booked UPC about a year and a half in advance. Everyone was super nice and professional. We met Jon W at a bridal show and he won us over. His personality and professionalism impressed us. When talking to him it felt like we were talking to a good friend. With all the time that passed Jon, Tara and Nick (Tara & Nick are the business owners)were all helpful with any questions or requests we had. Day of we had an amazing team. Umberto for photo Kurt was video, Jon as DJ and finally Danny as our MC. They all made us feel so comfortable and worked with us so well. Our wedding night was unforgettable because of them! We also appreciated that all of our vendors were within one company, working together to make it the best night ever! Thank you UPC!

I was referred by a family member who hired UPC for their wedding and naturally, chose to book UPC because of the great reviews. Unfortunately, the service failed to meet my (and my guest's expectations). I booked the DJ and MC services. All throughout, we were assisted by Tara who was great. Our DJ and MC was Jon and Chris, respectively. Our wedding is small and relatively low-key so I did explain to our MC that he would need to motivate them to dance. I am completely fine with our guests sitting majority of the time since most are in the older-range (to my surprise, they were actually dancing!). My now-husband added some music to the playlist and Jon played almost all of his songs (which was greatly appreciated). However, the MC left much to be desired. He did not appear to be enthusiastic at all and it showed--almost all of my guests relayed to me that he was sitting (we set up a table for our vendors to take a break and eat) majority of the time. We had a trivia game where the prize was the centerpiece. I created the questions and our MC asked if he can throw in some of his ideas to which I obliged. He played the trivia game about the bride and groom WITHOUT the bride in the room (I left to change into my second dress). My guests told me that after he asked the questions in an almost apathetic way and the guests all correctly answered, he said, "If your birthday is close to today's date, you get the centerpiece." One of my bridesmaids asked him to announce where to place gifts and cards since people were giving them to me (and I only have two hands), but he did not even do that. Our MC did ask my husband during the reception how everything was, and being non-confrontational, he said "Great!" but he admitted that it was anything but. I think it's pretty terrible for my 60+ year old guests to point out to me how our MC could have been better and that I wasted money. Thankfully, I was given these reviews post-wedding. Otherwise, it might have ruined the evening. Overall, I would not recommend this vendor.

UPC was AMAZING at our wedding! We can't thank Jon enough for making our night perfect! From the day we met Jon, he made us feel so comfortable and he made the whole process so easy. He was there whenever we needed anything..especially when I changed things up on him right before the wedding! He had the crowd dancing all night.. THANK YOU JON!!!!

We hired UPC to provide DJ, video and photo booth services. We already had hired a photographer separately so we didn’t need one at that point. We met Nick at the wedding expo event and loved his energy and enthusiasm that we decided to schedule an appointment at their offices. At the meeting, we met with Nick, his wife, Tara and one of their emcees. They told us about all they have to offer. We also sensed just how much they felt like a family so we hired them that day. The decision making process was easy thanks to their client portal. They list hundreds of songs to choose from to be played at the wedding. They also have a “Do Not Play” option which was convenient as my husband and I knew we did not want any choreographed dances and didn’t want to risk guests requesting them. Kurt, who was our videographer, helped us step by step when he filmed us. Both my husband and I are introverts so the tips helped us since we didn’t know what we should be doing/saying on video. I was also surprised when he brought his drone to take aerial shots of the venue. I saw a preview right after he did it and it was awesome! He also blended in perfectly during the ceremony and reception and I didn’t notice him which I think is a job well done. Our DJ and Emcee were also great. My husband was hoping for an encore following our last song and that the DJ would start playing “Paradise City” as the encore song. He mentioned this to his cousin who then went up to the DJ as our last song played and when our family and friends started screaming “Encore!” on came on “Paradise City” which made my husband extremely happy. Definitely a good way to end the night. We were also very happy to receive a photo album that night of all the photo booth photos. The photo album cover even fit our theme!

After going to many wedding shows my wife and I both could still not find a company that we were comfortable and happy with. After doing some research online I came across Ultimate Party Central. I am so glad I found them they were a delight to work we used there Up lighting,Tv's,Dj, MC, photo booth and photography. We were and still are ecstatic with our decision and would do it again in a heartbeat. It's nice to do business with people who truly care about there customers and enjoy what they do.

My name is Stacy and my husbands name is Bobby, we got married on March 25, 2017. Ultimate Party Central is great, they treat you like family. Their team MADE my wedding day. Nick and Tara are awesome and so down to earth, I felt like they really got to know my husband and I. They did so much for us to make our wedding day so perfect. Jon was the MC at our wedding and Chris was the Dj. Jon established an amazing relationship with my husband and I, I was so comfortable with him from the moment I met him, he is so charismatic and really knows how to get everyone's attention and get the party going. I told them that my husband and I love all different genres of music and that we were musicians ourselves, and told them how important it was for us to have great music at our wedding and to have everyone dancing. Well... let me just say, I've had many family members calling us after the wedding saying "That was the best wedding I've ever been to." Or "Your wedding was the MOST FUN wedding ever!!" And I had a family member ask me who my Dj was and wanted all their information because they were so awesome and she wanted to have them at her best friends wedding. They truly made the night!! UPC provided us with a photobooth which my guests loved!! Our photographer Umberto was so detailed and a perfectionist which is just my style. He captured every special moment between my husband and I. My eyes tear up looking at my wedding photos because I actually feel what I was feeling in that moment. He was so amazing. Kurt was our videographer, and he was great!! He was easy to work with and got all the best moments of our day! He filmed everything like it was happening in a movie... he had all these things with him to add special effects, for instance a drone which was SO cool... half the time I didn't even know he was using it and now seeing the footage he got with it on our wedding video... We were absolutely amazed and impressed!! UPC has an amazing team, they are the BEST!!!

My husband and I got married on 4/22/17 and ultimate party central made our wedding the best day of our lives. We had nick as dj, Jon as mc, David and umberto as photographers and Kurt as videographer. "Your day done your way" is their slogan and they do not disappoint. Nick and Jon had all of our guests out of their seats and on the dance floor. Young and old everyone danced all night long. David was my photographer and when I tell you he would do anything to get a good shot I mean anything. He practically climbed a tree to get a few shots. We also had a photo booth which was a huge hit at our wedding. You cannot go wrong by using ultimate party central for all of your wedding services. These people work so well together and they really know how to make your day special!! Thank you all! Our wedding day was the best day of our lives and we owe a lot of it to you!!!

When we first met with Tara, we told her that we were interested I had informed them that we wanted to do the separate one on one interview. I thought it was part of the package I signed up for but it wasn't. Our videographer, Rob Shotwell was amazing!! I loved that he didn't just feel like another vendor in our wedding. He meshed so well with us, our friends, and family. He was so helpful, accommodating and receptive to our feedback! It really added to the positive energy that our entire had. It was such a pleasure having him with us the entire day. To our DJs and MC, thank you so much for providing the right entertainment that fit our high energy crowd. You both knew exactly what our guests needed. EVERYONE is still raving about the music and how amazing it was. The dance floor was never empty! Thank you for contributing to the best WEDDING experience!!!

Tara, Nick, Kurt, Jesse - they were my Photo/Video/DJ crew! Tara is honestly the most patient person I have ever met. She was so responsive, helpful and courteous. I must have asked a million and one questions and she handled each one very professionally. Nick was the DJ and my friends and family can't stop telling me how great the music was. I told him what I wanted and he delivered. Overall, my experience with UPC was great and I would recommend them for your special day. I would also use them again in the future for photo and/or DJ - I just got my SDE and OMG!!! It exceeded my expectations, my 4 year old niece loves it so much too she must have watched it about 150 times already! I promise you will not be disappointed with choosing UPC! Side Note: They also offer great packages for all of your wedding needs (photo/video/DJ/photobooth etc)

I have nothing but great things to say about ultimate party central. They left us breathless from the dancing the whole night! A lot of my guests contacted me within weeks of my wedding to compliment me on my music selection and dj company! We had a blast thank you ultimate party central

We hired UPC for our DJ and Photographer at our wedding. They did an amazing job and we were so happy with the pictures as well as the music! We danced the entire night as well as our guests. They know how to keep the party going and they are very personable people. I felt very comfortable with them and it's because they felt like family. You can truly tell they wanted to make my wedding day the best it could possibly be! They definitely exceeded my expectations. I would recommend this company to anyone.

THE BEST! Absolute best company to work with. Tara answered every single e-mail I sent to her so promptly and really helped my husband and I understand the entire process. We met with them at their office and everything took off from there. We had an unusual entrance for our parents, bridesmaids and groomsmen in to the venue and they made everything happen. Our videographer and Tara had such a great imagination and fantastic ideas to make our shots beautiful. Even towards the end of our wedding, Nick and Tara saved our night when our venue did not live up to the standards we had hoped. What I love about Ultimate Party Central is their group packages that are so reasonable in price for everything that you receive. Could not express how thankful my husband and I are for Nick and Tara for making our day go so smoothly and doing everything we asked. Our guests could not stop raving about how much fun they had. The MC and Nick had the entire room on the dance floor before the salad was even served! If you choose them, you won't be disappointed.

This review is for the photographer only. My previous comment was deleted, so this time it will be short and to the point. The photos were awful. They would have been better with an iPhone. So many wonderful moments were missed. Do not get the photography package through this company. If I could give zero stars, I would.

There are not enough words to describe how happy we are that we chose UPC for our wedding!! Our biggest concern was finding an amazing MC and DJ to make our wedding fun and upbeat all night! The DJ Charlie and MC Jon exceeded our vision! We had a variety of music at our wedding with lots of cultured events and they made it perfect! Jon even met up with us before the wedding to go over final details of the day and really put our mind at ease! There were people on the dance floor from the start of the wedding right to the end! Our photographer and videographers were amazing! Kurt and umburto came early and started to take videos and photos right away making every second count! They were both creative with all of their shots and we liked their fast paced movement to keep the pictures moving! Not to mention they were both hilarious and made the time fun! Tara was amazing at always responding to our emails and needs in a quick manner and we are so thankful for that! We would recommend UPC to anyone looking to have an amazing wedding with no worries!!

I cannot fully explain how perfect UPC is. Everything from our initial meeting, to our wedding, it was so simple. Everyone was easy to talk to and request things to make for a perfect day. Tara always emailed back super fast. Day of the wedding they were timely and kept everything moving smoothly. They left us with not a worry in the world, just an amazingly perfect dream wedding.

My wedding was on September 30,2016 and I used UPC for my photo and video and everything was perfect! Tara & Kurt both did amazing job getting all the photos and video my husband and I wanted! We couldn't have asked for a better photo and video experience . I will definitely be recommending UPC to anyone who needs photo and video services.

My husband and I were on the search for photographers when we came to UPC. After meeting with Tara and looking over their reviews and services, we decided to go with everything they offered. I am so glad we did! Not only was it easy for us to have so much located at one place, it was clear on the day of our event that they were so comfortable working together as a group. We didn't plan on getting a videographer, but with their amazing prices we were able to afford it. And I never felt like we lost out on anything because we were getting a great deal. Our pictures came out amazing and I am so excited to pick up our video and album still! The photobooth was also added fun to the night of our wedding and the dance floor was packed. Nick was really able to get a feel for our music style and I loved what he played! It was a wonderful night :)

Im so disappointed for what i paid for, when you are the bride and the groom your at lost at that moment your feeling the entire scene on what is going around you, prior to the day of the wedding i sent a program or the sequence of the flow of the event , i even spoke to Nikki and discuss how i wanted it. Even the choices of songs were so bla, and same with all my quest they all said to me i think your DJ dont feel your party! Sucks because everything was almost perfect the way i wanted it expect the DJ and emcee, oh well no more turning back My one time special moment was ruined. I will never recommend them to anyone! You Dont know how to handle the crowd, even your emcee looks like he just started to be job training on the spot and Not happy on what he is doing.. I also send a list of songs me and my husband pick indont remember hearing one of them. With my guest feedback plus ours you guys did not meet our expectations! I had parties organized before, but this is far beyond what we paid for.

I highly recommend UPC!!!!! I got married in July 2016 and used UPC for my engagement session, photography, videography, photobooth, and DJ. I cannot begin to explain how happy I am to have chosen UPC for all of my services. From the beginning, Tara and her team were completely professional, supportive, and responsive. I knew that if I emailed Tara with a concern or any question, she'd get back to me within hours, if not minutes. She was always so supportive and patient. On my wedding day, Tara (photo) and Kurt (video) made me feel so comfortable and helped ease any stress that I felt. They were absolutely fantastic!! During the reception, our DJ kept everyone on the dance floor. I still get comments about how great the music was!! I do not have enough words to explain how much I love UPC! You won't regret using them!!

I can not say enough great things about this company! From the very first moment my husband and I met with Nick and Tara we KNEW we found our vendors! The package they offered us was to good to pass up and it made confirming and booking 100x easier knowing that all of our vendors was with ONE company. Both were very personable, caring, attentive and generally wanted the customer to have a great experience. And we did - Our wedding went off without a hitch! All of the services that we did with them [Video, photos, photobooth, and DJ] were flawless and ran so smoothly. I knew I was in great hands with UPC and didn't have to worry about any of it all night - they took care of it! Our guests are still raving about the fantastic job our MC & DJ did with music selections - they kept everyone on the dance floor the whole night. I can't wait to see our photos from the wedding - However, if there anything like our engagement photos they will be FANTASTIC! Thank you UPC for everything and for making my wildest dreams come true! You will forever be a go to contact if I need services again!

My husband and I worked personally with Tara. She is absolutely amazing. From the start, when she did our engagement photos until the day of our wedding she was everything we could have asked for. She always responded to my emails immediately, our wedding pictures were absolutely amazing, and she made our special day perfect. Even when I was a little stressed the day of the wedding Tara was able to make me smile. I would not have wanted to use anyone else.

Our recent experience with UPC was nothing short of perfection. I came across UPC by the recommendation of a good friend. When I first contacted UPC, I could tell they were going to be a great fit because they were so friendly, approachable, down to earth, and not at all pushy. My fiancé and I met with Tara the owner and head photographer. We immediately loved her- she made us feel so comfortable! In my mind it was most important to have a photographer we felt comfortable with, because it would show through our expressions in the photos! We loved Tara so much that we booked her on the spot, and added on a DJ and MC as well. How cool and convenient to do the "one stop shop" of photography and music! The pricing at UPC was also far better than the other places I had researched. Leading up to our big day, Tara was easy to reach and calmed our nerves with reassurance. She even called us on her day off on one occasion because we were worried about something. When you book this company they truly care about making you happy, which is a beautiful thing. On the day of our wedding, Tara met me and my girls to get prep shots. Her demeanor was a much needed calm, laid back, yet strong and in control of the day. She knew exactly what to do even in silly little matters unrelated to photography- for example she taught my very nervous dad how to pin on a boutonnière. Tara's experience showed as she effortlessly took all the bridal prep shots efficiently and with a comforting smile on her face. Throughout the day as we took photos, Tara would literally scream with excitement when she got an amazing shot- it was so fun! Her passion for her job was evident and her excitement was contagious. As for the MC and DJ- wow!!!! Phenomenal! The MC was kind and professional and well spoken. The DJ was fabulous and played the perfect mix. Everyone is still raving about him. The dance floor was PACKED all night! Brides: make your lives easier by booking UPC, you won't regret it!!!

We met the wonderful staff of UPC at a wedding expo and were so overwhelmed by all the vendors. UPC made us feel comfortable and we selected them shortly after. Tara met with us in the office several times and calmed my nerves that everything was going to be alright! Everything was beyond alright- it was amazing. We want to personally thank Kirk our videographer for making the whole process fun for us and Tara, of course, for taking beautiful pictures even in a heat wave!! Chris, our MC, and Nikki our DJ made our party extra special! They played music to our crowd and even worked with us to pull off a bride vs. groom lip sync battle!! We highly recommend UPC!!

Where do I even begin? Brian and I first met Tara and nick at a bridal show and we instantly knew that we wanted them to be apart of our special day! We just loved everything about them, their personalitys and the way they worked together was amazing! The day of our wedding was amazing beyond words and I have to thank everyone at UPC for making Brian and I feel relaxed and calm because we knew we had them to keep everything running smooth! I can't even express how thankful I was for Tara, she made sure everything I needed was there, she even knew exactly what to say and do when my dress got dirty during the first look she made sure that you couldn't see the stain in any of our pictures! Every single person that was at our wedding couldnt stop complementing on how amazing every one from UPC was! They kept everyone on the dance floor all night long! And the photobooth was the biggest hit, everyone really enjoyed using it and loved that they could take the pictures home that night!! UPC being apart our day was the best decision we made! They made our day even more special then it already was!! I am so thankful for everything they did for us on that day!! I recommend them to everyone I know who is getting married!!

Where do I begin? It started with the engagement photo shoot, well, I guess even before that. When Darrell and I met Tara and Nick at Ultimate Party Central, things just felt right. Not only did their work look amazing, but their personalities made it that much easier of a decision to make. Our engagement photo shoot reiterated our decision in choosing U.P.C. for all of our wedding services - photography (x2), videography, DJ, percussionist, photo booth. The entire crew was just amazing! Each helped us get through our wedding day with nothing but smiles, dance moves (good or bad - they can't take credit for that), and photos and videos to remember it all. Rob and Nick kept us and our guests on the dance floor all night! Their attention to detail, hearing our direction and truly collaborating with us prior to and day of, it all was just more than we could have asked for. Our pictures and videos are everything we wanted and came in the time frame quoted. Thank you U.P.C. for making and capturing our best day ever! (For any future occasions we have, we know who we're calling!)

Nick and Tara were amazing! They made my planning so stress free and easy along with accomodating everything I wanted to happen at the reception. Along with that i recieved a beautiful video and album to look back on. I'm coming up on my 5 year anniversary and I still have beautiful memories to look back on. In my eyes they are the best!

Nick and Tara were both AMAZING! We first met them in a wedding expo, that time we didn’t know what to ask or look for but they made a lasting impression to us that after months of looking for photographer, videographer, DJ, and MC we ended up going back to them as they are the COMPLETE PACKAGE. Nick was our DJ, you won’t meet anyone as personable as him. Always smiling and passionate. We were very specific with the music we wanted played. Our family is Filipino; they were able to incorporate some line dancing music seamlessly to the reception music. All songs played were mixed skillfully with smooth transitions. My guests were dancing the whole time and I was so excited to not see many people sitting down and on the dance floor instead! The MC had the perfect amount of involvement with our guests, they do exactly what you tell them you need for your wedding, whether it be a lot or no involvement. He also had no problem learning the proper pronunciation of all the names of Sponsors and wedding party during their introduction. They also provided up-lighting and 2 monitors for our reception and it was done very tastefully. I remember inquiring about Instagram Integration, to my surprise on my wedding day they added it without extra cost and they didn’t even boast about it. Tara our photographer was great. We’re not used to being in front of the camera and she not only made us feel comfortable, she made us ENJOY getting our pictures taken. We had a very big bridal party and our family is even bigger but she had no problems guiding everyone in a very respectful manner on where they should be for picture and video taking. Pictures came out GREAT! They also had a photo/video booth included to the package. The photos you could use as a party favor but the video is the most fun. You could watch you friends and family give testimonials or just have fun with it. Overall, when we think back to our wedding reception, we remember having the best night of our lives. Several of my guests said it was the most fun they had ever had at a wedding! Thank you UPC!!!

Convenience, care, and consideration, these people have it all. Working with Tara and Jon was a wonderful experience. From music selection to every picture perfect moment, they were able to handle it all, even my cranky groom who was fed up with family photo time. Jon was able to meet our every dance request and kept the party flowing. The photo booth was a hit, there was not a moment during the night you found it empty. Justin the attendent was a pleasure, he kept guest moving and made sure our scrap book looked amazing. We also could not stop talking about Kurt our videographer. We were able to see a sneakpeak of the raw footage and were blown away. Overall, I cannot give enough praise about UPC, they truly took our event to the next level!

If I could give more then five stars, I'd certainly give TEN! UPC went above and beyond for my husband and I. They gave us everything we wanted and more. Ultimate party central is what made our wedding night! From dancing in the clouds, to the up lighting and enthusiastic MC/DJ. We are so beyond pleased, impressed and thankful. UPC gave us something we will never have again.... The most amazing, fun, unforgettable wedding we could ask for. We owe it all to you Ultimate Party Central!! You guys ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!

My husband and I were married on April 2, 2016. We Chose Ultimate Party Central because from the moment we met Nick and Tara at our very first bridal show we loved their energy and enthusiasm. Throughout the process of planning they were very "reachable." Aaron and I eventually felt like family. It never seemed like no was in their vocabulary. The day of the wedding I was a mess and Tara kept on reminding me to relax and have fun. Nick kept the party going and everyone was on the dance floor. When we got back to work all of our guests kept on raving about the music. We are very satisfied customers and are looking forward to working with UPC for many years to come.

Where to start? My husband and I got married 12/12/15 in Staten Island, NY and had the reception at The Grand Marquis in Old Bridge, NJ. We were initally drawn to UPC bc its a "one stop shop". We were able to book our DJ, photographer, and videographer in one sitting! We met with Tara who listened to our every need and want and worked within our budget. She showed us our photographer Izabella's beautiful work and was knowledgeable with respect to the ceremony and reception locations and timeframe that we would be working within the day of. Shortly after signing the contract, we were transferred to Maine as my now husband is active duty Coast Guard. We were worried that wedding planning would become increasingly difficult. Tara and Nick saw that it wouldn't. Nick met with me last minute a few days prior to our military transfer. He put my mind at ease. He would be our DJ during the event. He has outstanding listening skills and took all of my ideas and worked with me to make sure we would get everything we wanted the day of. He added creative suggestions such as having an anniversary dance and tunnel of love upon entering. I wanted two video montages of my husband and I as children. Not only did he make that happen, he used two separate songs that I requested and even created an additional one for the first dance. Unique and brilliant work. I left with a feeling of relief and pretty happy after getting a few hugs from their little one! They were so incredibly accommodating and even met with me the morning of Black Friday (two wks prior to the wedding) to discuss last minute details. Let it be known that they had a wedding that evening and the office was closed. He opened up the office for me and met with me as this was the last time I would be in NY prior to the wedding and had been down from Maine. Not only that, but he took his time with me and even brought out coffees for me and my sister!Tara worked with me using drop box and emails to get the montage photos in. Isabella was our photographer. Punctual, artistic, with a trained eye for beauty. She was our only photographer and somehow managed to get pictures of the men getting ready, the women getting ready, the church, the reception, and everything in between. Props to her! She took everything we said into consideration and got every photo that we asked for. We had a 10am wedding and 1pm rehearsal and she was at the hotel at 7am ready to go! Our videographer was amazing and really stayed behind the scenes during the entire event which was great. Nick had the entire crowd on the dance floor all night. Guests were saying that their legs were killing them the following day! They were all so easy to work with from afar. They were prompt with repsonses to my emails, and so accomodating. Dropbox made the burden of three montages managable. UPC is really a family affair. From the personalized touches, to the constant communication, to the amazing suggestions, from working within our budget to the free coffee and hugs and everything in between! We were blessed to have had such an outstanding group of individuals working with us on our wedding day. Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts. UPC- Unbelievable Personalized Care. Love, Alex and Kerry Leatherman

Words can not express at how pleased we are with The Ultimate Party Central. First off, Tara is AMAZING! She had amazing ideas, her photography portfolio is great and she is very creative. She knew exactly how I wanted our pictures to look. I wanted to have more of an editorial , magazine styled wedding ...and she was completely on board. She stood by side and even went out of her way to help me achieve anything I needed photo wise. She was able to capture some amazing moments. The DJ Nikki K and MC Jon were both so charming. I loved that they were really attentive with what type of music we wanted, and They both added sexiness to our wedding. I loved that they both felt like a part of the party! They really made the guest excited and happy. Dancing was non stop. We had a winter theme, and the UPC designed an amazing smart light for us of snow flakes that looked amazing all over the dance floor and ceilings, It added a to the amazing decor! Also, For some reason my garter was misplaced, and Tara had Jon bring an extra one they had at their office, just in time for me to have my first look pictures! I will definitely use UPC in future.

Nick & Tara are the reason this business is so successful. Hands down. From the second we walked into their office we were sure they were the ones to make our wedding what it was. Nick was our Dj for the night and now, 3 months later we are still getting calls praising the work that he did. We told him during one of our first appointments what we wanted the wedding to feel like and they hit the nail 100% on the head. Our MC was equally as perfect, getting everyone at the party involved without being"in your face" the photobooth attendants were in control without being over sensitive. Our family loved the props and never had a problem that they wound up on the dance floor more than a few times 😍. We were so disappointed that Tara was not available to be our photographer because the work that she did for my family in the past is amazing. We had an issue with one of our photos and because it is the type of person Nick is, he fixed it for us the afternoon we realized there was an issue. His kindness and understanding made it possible to give our grandparents a Christmas gift that brought the room to tears. Thank you Nick and Tara from the bottom of our hearts for helping make our wedding the best night of our lives. Sincerely, Nick & Melanie Hollenstein

Can't say enough about the amazing job Jon and Nick did at our wedding. My wife and I were skeptical when searching for the right DJ company but when we met with the team, we immediately knew they were the right ones for us... Best decision we made for our wedding was going with Ultimate Party Central. Thank you so much for everything, you'll be hearing more from us!

My husband and I got married on May 29, 2015. We originally started to sign with a different photographer/videography company at first - although the quality of work seemed to be great, we did not feel comfortable at all with the person we were dealing with. So we decided to meet with Tara, before making our final commitment. And one of the best decisions we made, was contracting the UPC team to assist us on our wedding day. Tara responded very quickly to all our needs, including fulfilling the requests we asked for (specific pictures on our wedding day). The pictures came out beautiful and I am glad that we will have these beautiful pictures to cherish forever; we just received our photo albums - and they are of outstanding quality - our wedding video also came out great! Tara, Kurt, and Nick were very friendly, and including on our wedding day, I received positive comments from my family - saying how nice, and professional they were. Thank you UPC for the wonderful services you provided throughout our wedding process, and most importantly on our wedding day!

The photo booth was a huge hit everyone had a great time with it. The staff was friendly.

Ultimate Party Central was amazing!! From the moment my husband and I booked with them we were confident that they were going to make our wedding day absolutely amazing. Tara is great at getting back to you right away with any questions or concerns. The day of our wedding couldn't have gone any better. We booked an open air photo booth, dancing on the clouds, dj for ceremony, cocktail and reception, and an mc. The quality of the sound is beyond exceptional! Our MC Mike D was phenomenal from start to finish he got our guests pumped up and ready to get on the dance floor! DJ Nikki K was everything we had hoped for!! We had told him that music for us was the most important thing and he guaranteed us an amazing night and he did not disappoint!! From the second the music started until the very last second the dance floor was packed we couldn't get people to get off the dance floor and that was exactly what we wanted! Everyone raved about the music all night not one bad thing to say about Ultimate Party Central!! The open air photo booth was a hit, the props were amazing and our guests loved that you could fit so many people in one space! Thank you everyone at Ultimate Party Central for truly making our wedding day absolutely perfect!! We would recommend this vendor to anyone they will not disappoint! -Danielle & Brian Wedding October 17th, 2015

Amazing DJ and team!! Nick and his team were absolutely amazing!! They did everything we asked and more and really made our day special and personal to us!

Ultimate Party Central was AMAZING !!!! Our wedding was such a BLAST thanks to Nick, Tara, and the gang- they made sure our day was a memorable one! In fact, weeks after our wedding, we are still receiving compliments on our DJ, Photo Booth, and Photographers!! My Husband and I were so happy with UPC and you will be too!!

Trying to find reasonably priced photographer, DJ and videographer for my upcoming wedding in April was starting to seem impossible. With UPC, I was able to get all three! We just got our engagement pictures back and couldn't be happier! We are looking forward to working with them for our wedding. -Kerry Jones

Tara, Kurt,Jon & the rest of their team was amazing! They made sure everything went smoothly, and that everyone was having a great time! My wedding was perfect & they were a hug help to that! I would recommend them 100%

Nick and Tara are amazing! So professional and so easy to work with! They made our wedding day more memorable and more fun than we could've ever imagined! Tara is a phenomenal photographer! Not only did she make our engagement session fun, but she made taking our wedding photos a great time! She captured every important moment so perfectly! And the way she captured everyone on the dance floor, you can see by the pictures what a blast everyone had! Thanks to Nick, the dance floor was always packed! He played the best music and made sure everyone was having a great time! They made our wedding more amazing than we could've ever imagined! The videographer was also so wonderful! We can't wait to see our video! My husband and I couldn't be any happier that we chose UPC for photo, dj, and video! Thank you Nick and Tara for helping make our wedding so amazing!

UPC is amazing! Tara is a phenomenal photographer! She made our engagement session and taking our wedding pictures fun! She is so professional and so easy to work with! My husband and I couldn't be any happier with our pictures! She did such an amazing job! She captured every single moment perfectly! Just by looking at the pictures, you can see what a blast everyone was having! Our formal pictures are so beautiful! Thank you so much Tara!

I can't say enough good things about UPC! From the moment we met Tara the first day we booked our package, we had complete faith that UPC would help make our wedding the most magical day of our lives, and they did just that!! Tara was kind,professional, quick responding to questions and is an amazing photographer. Tara is so talented and creative which is shown through her photos and album designs! Nikki had everyone on the dance floor the entire night and made sure that our entrance songs were exactly how we requested them to be. Kurt, the videographer did not miss a single detail at the wedding and we now have the most incredible video to recapture the best day of our lives! Last but not least the Photo Booth was a big hit with all our guests and we love our memory book with everyone's photos in it, given to us as a keepsake. We will continue to use UPC for all of our future events and would recommend them to anyone planning an event!

I can't say enough about Tara and the UPC staff. We were so happy with their work that we sought out wifi in the remote area of Costa Rica where we stayed on our honey moon so that we could email Tara and thank her for her work leading up to and during our wedding. Tara's photos come out beautifully. Our engagement and wedding photos are both unreal good because Tara is such a skilled and knowledgeable photographer. Kurt, who did our videography is also fantastic. He was non stop working the entire day and night to ensure he got everything on camera. Their photo booth and photo booth staff were also excellent. The entire company is just so organized and professional. They were very responsive when it came to any questions and their format for handling business is just superior as far as wedding vendors are concerned. Now that it's over, I'm looking for an excuse to work with Tara again!

UPC provided DJ and photobooth services for my engagement party. They were exceptional. Pre-event, high degree of professionalism, very responsive and I could trust their opinion on services and products (they never tried to upsell me.) The performance at the event was great. There were no hiccups. Nick was the DJ and he absolutely knocked it out of the park. I received compliments during the event and even days after. He did a fantastic job. The photobooth (the one Nick recommended to me) was a huge hit and was lit to the internal decor of my event. Really a high class vendor who delivers high class service. And the pricing is beyond competitive. I have a high bar in terms of what I expect and I couldn't be happier with the selection. In fact, UPC exceeded my expectations. I would recommend them without hesitation and if I have another event, they will be the first people I call.

I recently got married at the Shadowbrook in Shrewsbury, NJ this past Saturday (May 2nd) and we used Ultimate Party Central for our photography and DJ. I spent two years planning my wedding and one of the first vendors I decided upon was Ultimate Party Central. I met them at a bridal show and thought it was meant to be when I was watching one of their videos at the booth and saw that there was a couple with the same name as mine and my husband's had used them. Throughout the entire planning process, Nick and Tara were so personable, friendly and accommodating. They were there to help with everything and anything we needed and so responsive to any questions we had. Two of the most important things to my husband and I were the photos and the entertainment. Tara took beautiful engagement photos that we displayed at the venue, and I can't wait to see what our wedding photos look like! Nick and his DJ crew had all of my friends and family on the dance floor the entire time playing hit after hit. I couldn't have asked for anything better and would highly recommend them to anyone who is getting married and to all of my friends and family. Thank you Tara and Nick! You did such an amazing job and we are so grateful that you made our day so special!

I can not say enough great things about Ultimate Party Central! From the beginning planning stages until the last song, they were nothing short of wonderful. I gave Nick full control over the songs played to get the party started and keeping it going and he surpassed expectations! People are still saying how much fun my wedding was and asking me for UPC's contact information to use for their own upcoming functions. Mike V. was a fantastic MC and had everyone from teens to grandmothers on the dance floor the entire night. While they were at my wedding, it never seemed like they were at work but were having a blast just like they were one of the guests. They were the energy that kept the party going!

The photo booth was a huge hit at our wedding. It was so much fun and everyone had a great time, especially using the props. I used Ultimate Party Central for photography and DJ also and they were just amazing. It was really nice to use a company that has many services and is also a great team. I would highly recommend them for all your party needs.

We are so thrilled that we chose UPC for our wedding! Tara and Nick were wonderful and they did everything to make our day special and memorable. They were responsive, understanding and knew everything we'd need to make our day perfect. From the moment we first sat down with Tara at our initial meeting to the day of our wedding, everything was simple and easy to plan with UPC. It was a breeze. Our engagement photos were beautiful and our wedding day was perfect! Our guests loved the photo booth, and we have heard so many compliments about the music that Nick played during our night as well. Coming from a very mixed and diverse crowd, that says a lot because everyone was happy and dancing, which can be very hard to do! Mike the MC was great as well, very entertaining! Definitely give them a try because you will not be disappointed!

My husband and I used UPC for almost everything and they were amazing!!!!!! Our DJ was out of this world! The dance floor was packed the whole night!!! The photographers made us feel so comfortable and the photos turned out beautiful!!!! (A special thank you to Tara!!) Last but not least, the photo booth was a huge hit!! All the guests had so much fun!!! UPC is the best!!! You won't regret it!!! We couldn't be happier!!!!

I hired DJ Nikki K to do the music for my wedding. All of my guests swore it was the best wedding the had ever been to! The music was so on point!!! My guests kept raving about the music all night and then for weeks after.He really listened to everything I had to say....took all my personal ideas and made them come to life. I personally think the most important vendor is the DJ. He will make or break your party...and DJ Nikki K took it to the next level of entertainment. Everyone was out on the dance floor all night long, and my husband and I had the time of our lives. Thank you to everyone involved with this journey at UPC. Thank you Nick, thank you Tara, and a special thanks to our MC too! He pumped up the crowd all night long!!

The staff at UPC is the best in the industry. Complete professionals who are willing to work with you to make your day better than you dreamed. Tara, Nick, Mike.. I couldn't have asked for a better crew to make our dreams a reality. Superb professionalism and creativity. So accommodating and willing to do whatever it takes for the bride and groom to be happy. It rained for our wedding day and Tara went above and beyond to make sure I got my 'beach' pictures I had been dreaming of. If you don't book them for ALL their services, you are ASKING for mediocre. UPC was the best! I wish I could replay my wedding EVERY day!

My husband and I worked with ultimate party central on our wedding day. They provided photography/ dj/ photobooth/ and videography services. We were extremely pleased with all the services we received especially the photographer tara. She made us feel very comfortable throughout the process and really worked us to ensure we got all the photos we needed. Our dj nick was very energetic n kept the crowd going despite it being a day wedding. I would highly recommend ultimate party central services. They were friendly affordable and provided great services

Tara and Nick are amazing at what they do. You will not be disappointed!!!

We could not have asked for a better experience than the one we had with Ultimate Party Central. For our wedding, my husband and I opted for the package that included DJ, photography, videography, and photo booth services, and we are still raving about all of them. The DJ, Nick, and emcee, Mike, had our guests dancing within 5 minutes – their energy was contagious and the guests just couldn’t resist. Everyone was having such a blast so quickly that Nick and Mike had trouble getting them to sit down for dinner. They followed all of our music selections and also provided a set of their own that spanned decades and included something for everyone – really amazing. Tara was our photographer and primary contact throughout the whole process. She is responsive, down to earth, and super friendly, and she really captured every moment of our big day without being overwhelming at all. Our pictures came out absolutely beautiful thanks to her. Our videographer, Kurt, also amazed us with what he put together. When we watched our wedding video we were brought right back to all the amazing moments of the day, and the DVD itself is gorgeous. The photo booth was a huge hit, and it provides not only a really fun time, but also your guest book (SO funny to look through) and potential favors since everyone gets to keep one of the photo strips. Everything is so high-quality and well put-together, and you can just feel how passionate they all are about what they do. They were like family members by the end of the night, and we are so thrilled that we chose them. I 100% recommend UPC for any event!
