DJ REVIEW: We had an amazing experience with DJ Brian from Unique Events for our wedding! From the start, he was incredibly easy to work with and really listened to our requests. He was thoughtful about making the day truly about us, which we greatly appreciated.
DJ Brian was very flexible and willing to accommodate decisions and changes in the moment, ensuring everything went smoothly. We met with him once before the wedding to solidify all of our details, and he made us feel confident that everything would run smoothly.
On the day of the wedding, DJ Brian kept our guests dancing and having a great time. His professionalism and dedication made our wedding day even more special.
Thank you, DJ Brian!

We got married in September at the HarMac and utilized Unique Events for flowers and decorations! Emily was amazing to work with, and she listened to all of our ideas and put them into motion. She also provided ideas when we weren’t sure which direction to go. Fresh flowers were very important to me and their team knocked it out of the park! The team made the process simple with setup and tear down so we didn’t have to think about it during our busy day. We highly recommend working with the UE team for all of your event needs!

I cannot recommend Unique Events enough. This organization is incredibly easy to work with, completely taking the stress out of planning a wedding ensuring we were able to relax and enjoy our engagement. Erin at Unique Events took my vision and created a beautiful reception for us. They were incredibly flexible in creating a plan that fit into our budget, they were always there to answer any questions we had, and always said "Yes" to any ideas or inspirations we had. Unique set up and tore down our decorations taking the stress out of wedding day preparations. Our decorations were perfectly suited to fit our beautiful venue, the staff at Unique is incredibly gifted and have an amazing eye and vision for design. The floral staff created the most beautiful wedding day bouquet, corsages, boutonnières, and floral to enhance our signs. Our DJ Brian ensured that the dance floor was always full and listened to and perfectly accommodated our preferences and vision for the dance floor. I cannot recommend Unique Events enough - to me this service was incredibly priceless knowing everything was taken care of by Erin and her team at Unique!

I absolutely LOVED working with Unique Events! We planned our wedding out of state and made our lives so much easier with wedding planning! It was like a one stop shop for everything wedding! They were flexible with us about meetings since we did live in a different time zone. I would 100% recommend them to anyone!

I can’t say enough wonderful things about my experience with Unique Events. From the moment we first met to discuss my wedding vision with Emily (designer) and Terran (florist), they were incredibly attentive and enthusiastic. They took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for and drafted a lovely mood board that truly brought my ideas to life.
The selection of rentals was extensive and high-quality, which made it easy to find the perfect pieces. They helped me curate everything from our simple ceremony set-up, beautiful table settings and statement hanging floral arrangement that made our venue look magical. Both Emily and Terran were always available to answer questions and made the planning process so much smoother.
On the day of the wedding, everything was delivered and set up flawlessly. The staff was punctual, friendly, and incredibly professional, ensuring that every detail was taken care of.
Thanks to Unique Events, my wedding was everything I dreamed it would be. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and talented rental company. They truly exceeded my expectations and made my special day unforgettable!

i am so thankful we got to work with Unique Events.
We worked closely with Erin on the design vision and she was helpful, communicative, and professional. She also handled feedback professionally and compassionately. Any time I felt unsure about a design choice, she was ready to offer additional options and took the time to better understand my hopes. Our florals arrived and STAYED beautiful, fresh, and happy (which was no small feat in the August heat). My bouquet stayed fresh for a few days following our wedding as well - allowing me some time to decide what I wanted to do with it.
They transported, set-up, and took away everything for us - which saved us the awkward scramble at the end of the night to get everything organized and put away.
My venue coordinator also raved about Erin and the entire UE team. She was very impressed with Erin's ideas to keep things organized and running smoothly for the catering and service staff. You can tell the UE valued not only their customers but the relationships they have with other vendors they work with.
I cannot say enough good things about Brian. I got married a month ago and I am still getting comments and compliments about how much everyone enjoyed themselves at our reception. Brian was receptive, he genuinely listened to our hopes for the day, and offered some great suggestions on how to keep the day running smoothly.
He mixed the many genres that make up my top favorite songs (classic oldies, pop, pop punk, classic rock, a little bit of country, and so many more) and, at one point, got every single guest on the floor. Thank you Brian!!

We just had our wedding in October 2023 and we could not recommend having Unique Events enough! They did string lighting in our 51x111 Sailcloth tent as well as hung up some gorgeous pampas arrangements and lanterns. Their team was absolutely amazing to work with and we can't thank them enough for their timeliness, energy, and great customer service during the planning process.

They did an amazing job listening to what we wanted and executing on our vision. They set up both the indoor and outdoor spaces in plenty of time, even within a quick turnaround window. Would recommend working with this team to anyone!

Unique Events was a one-stop-shop for our perfect wedding day. We utilized the team for decor, flowers, DJ, and a photobooth.
Our wedding day was a visual masterpiece, all thanks to the remarkable talents of Erin Martin. As our creative director, Erin not only conceptualized but also flawlessly executed the design plan for all our decor and flowers, transforming our wedding venue into a breathtaking wonderland. Her exceptional organizational skills, creativity, and kindness made our wedding planning journey an absolute joy. Working with Erin was an absolute pleasure. Her warm and kind personality made us feel like we were working with a friend rather than a vendor. She was always accessible, responsive, and receptive to our questions and ideas. Her professional yet approachable demeanor put us at ease throughout the planning process.
We utilized Unique Events for our DJ, as well, and had the pleasure of working with Avery Karkosh. Our wedding reception was an absolute blast, and it's all thanks to the incredible talent of Avery! From the moment the music started until the last song played, Avery created an unforgettable atmosphere that had everyone on their feet and dancing the night away. Avery helped keep the event on track and ensuring smooth transitions between different parts of the reception. Our friends and family are still talking about how much fun they had, and it's all thanks to Avery! If you want a DJ who not only plays the best music but also brings kindness, flexibility, and an unbeatable party spirit, Avery is the one for you. Our wedding wouldn't have been the same without him, and we are forever grateful for the unforgettable memories he helped create.
Our wedding reception was taken to a whole new level of fun and excitement, all thanks to Unique Events and their incredible mirror-style photobooth! This photobooth was an absolute hit with our guests and added a unique touch to our celebration. The quality of the photos was outstanding, and we were left with a collection of candid and hilarious moments that we'll treasure forever. The on-site attendant was friendly and helpful, ensuring that the photobooth ran smoothly throughout the evening. They encouraged guests to strike poses, use props, and have a great time, which created a lively and fun atmosphere.
Thank you so much to Unique Events for helping give us the absolute perfect wedding!

Erin and her team were a joy to work with! They decorated for two different ceremonies (one Hindu and one Jewish) and a large reception all in one day. The décor was absolutely fabulous; we got compliments the entire day. They really helped us create a dream wedding. Our mandap and chuppah were both distinct and gorgeous. The reception ballroom was straight out of a movie. The flowers they used in the altars, bouquets and centerpieces were fresh and elegant. We also rented string lights, cutlery, table clothes, chairs, place settings, and a light-up LED dance floor, all that fit our theme perfectly. I love that Unique Events does literally everything for you, all under one vendor. It kept everything super simple for us. We highly recommend Unique Events!

Erin was great to work with! She was so responsive to all my questions and revisions throughout the event design process. She had so many great suggestions to make our wedding day look exactly how I wanted, within our budget. The day of our wedding the decor and florals were so gorgeous and exactly what I envisioned, without having to deal with any of the prep or logistics. And our DJ through UE was amazing!!! He met with us for a couple hours well before our wedding to get our vibe, what our plans were for the dance floor, the flow of our day, how to say everyone's names, etc. And he captured exactly what we wanted PERFECTLY. If you hire UE for event design, flowers and DJ so much stress will be taken off your shoulders and you won't regret it!

DJ AVERY - The Best!! Our wedding guests are still talking about the dance floor - it was non-stop fun the entire night and a great mix of music to keep all of our guests enjoying.

Jessica assisted with our rental equipment that pulled together our version. The communication and recommendations were fantastic and a huge help in making our weekend come together.
Thank you to the wonderful UE team - wouldn't have been the same without you all!

Brian was the BEST DJ! He was so good we had other engaged couples at our wedding get his contact for their weddings! He had everything down to a science. He was able to understand the vibe we were going for, and recommend music accordingly. He answered questions we didn’t even know we had. He kept our timeline on track, and checked in with us accordingly! Such a great professional, and so gifted at what he does!
We also hired Unique Events for lighting, and they were phenomenal! Jessica and Travis coordinated it all, and helped us understand what would look good from a design standpoint. They helped narrow down uplight colors, and had the whole bistro lighting set up in no time.
All-in-all, hire Unique Events! We actually wished we would’ve hired them for floral too, because if they nailed DJ and Lighting this good there’s no doubt in my mind they would’ve blown our floral vision out of the water.

We hired Brian from Unique Events to DJ our wedding and run sound at our outdoor ceremony. Not only was he the sweetest, he helped make our day absolutely perfect. He was a charming emcee who kept the night moving, a total professional each step of the way, AND he kept the dance floor popping all night long. We loved him!
We also hired Unique for our photobooth and a few rentals. This experience was also great. The team at Unique have weddings down to a SCIENCE, and we always felt like we were in great hands.

I cannot say enough good things about my experience working with Unique Events! My husband and I got married in May of 2022 about 3 hours from our home. We were concerned this would make planning or execution of the details more difficult, however Unique Events worked with the on-site coordinator to make everything seamless.
Ashley was our contact at Unique Events, and she was phenomenal to work with. I knew I wanted our wedding to have a certain look and feel, but had a difficult time articulating it. After our initial conversation, I received a detail design plan that gave me a lot of confidence. Not only was Ashley open to the (minor) edits and feedback I gave on the initial design plan, when the day came she absolutely KILLED it. It was more beautiful than I could have ever imagined on our budget! Not only was the venue stunning, but Ashley went above and beyond that day. She also was open to adding on last-minute items (like printed programs for our ceremony) without a single moment of hesitation.
Unique Events made everything so simple. My husband and I did not have to think about coordinating a single detail of the decor. I'll close this review with a story that I think exemplifies the kind of service you can expect from Unique Events.
The morning of our wedding, my bridal party and I were getting ready at one house within the resort and my husband and his groomsmen were at another. My soon-to-be mother-in-law was supposed to take the resort shuttle to come get her makeup done with us, but something went wrong and the shuttle did not show up. Because of the remote location of the resort, we had very little cell service and were having a difficult time determining what was going on. Ashley arrived to drop off the bridal/bridesmaids' flowers, and realized what was happening. Imagine my surprise when she pulled up again about 20 minutes later with my mother-in-law in the car! She had gone to the other house to drop off the boutonnieres to the groomsmen, and offered my mother-in-law a ride back. Crisis averted!
Working with Unique Events made our day easy, beautiful, and unforgettable. They were definitely on the higher end of our budget, but it was worth every single dollar. I highly recommend working with this company!

I was very disappointed with unique events. The florist was not interested in helping me with my order because I only wanted bridal party flowers and arch flowers (which would have met their minimum). Because I didn’t want a huge order or rentals, the florist seemed uninterested in my business. I received an email the next day saying he was unable to work with me. He didn’t even take the time to look into flower arrangements that he told me he was going to do. Don’t waste your time unless you plan to spend several thousand dollars.

We were impressed throughout the entire planning process. They worked with us to create a night that was unique to us and it only took two phone calls and a few emails. Also, we can’t say enough good things about our DJ, Avery. We had so many people out in the dance floor all night that we extended our reception an extra hour. Multiple guests commented that they have never seen a full dance floor for the entirety of a wedding reception. Thanks again!

All I can say is WOW. From our first consultation, to the planning process, through the execution of our wedding I was absolutely blown away with the design and help with our wedding. I am a huge planner and very organized -- so I didn't think I would need help with our design or set up of our wedding day but let me tell you, I would pay for UE 10X over again. If you don't have Erin in your life, boy do you need to find her for your big day. No matter how much or how little you need her -- she will turn your wedding visions into a complete dream. 10/10 recommend Unique Events. 20/10 recommend Erin Martin. Book early, she's the best!

My bridal bouquets were so incredibly beautiful both brought me to tears! Both years everyone could not stop talking about how gorgeous our flowers were. Glen was so easy and fun to work with and reasonably priced and worked with me to stay within my budget.

They are so easy to work with, extremely professional yet personable, and not pushy to use their services at all. We used them for our DJ and our photobooth (Pylon).

Erin also worked really well with my wedding planner so everyone was on the same page. The items we rented were top notch. Erin and UE staff even designed and created a trellis with greenery and Edison bulb lighting to go over the head table. It was gorgeous and exactly what I had envisioned. The most popular item that we rented however was the LED dance floor. It was a HUGE hit! Everyone loved it and our dance floor was filled until the end of the night. I would absolutely recommend Unique Events for your wedding reception or event. They are A+

When my daughter first mentioned the idea of hiring Unique Events I was hesitant. It sounded unnecessary and expensive. I went to her second meeting with them and started to understand why she wanted to hire them. Within a few weeks, I fully understood why this was going to be a good investment in such a special day. This team of professionals worked tirelessly to present creative idea after creative idea to my daughter. They also stayed within the budget we gave them. Their services made this day stress free and absolutely perfect - literally. We worked with Hannah for event design and implementation, floral, and rentals. Our DJ, Travis, spent time with the bride and groom to understand their vision and he implemented flawlessly even taking on a few tasks not traditional for a DJ. I have no regrets hiring this team and can say with confidence they are worth every penny.

Travis and everybody involved with UE helped make our wedding day equal parts smooth and INCREDIBLY FUN!
We had all of our linens and dinner stuff brought in by UE on top of them taking care of the DJ duties. Before our day, we met with Travis and discussed what songs we want/didn't want and he got a wonderful sense of the vibe we wanted for our party. Both in the meeting and at our venue, we could tell Travis was a PRO and this was not his first wedding...we really felt in good hands.
After my wife and I ate dinner, we walked around to all our tables to thank guests, and every few minutes Travis would come up to us, without interrupting, and fill us in on how much time we had before speeches, first dances, etc. AND he offered to get us a drink each time :). He helped create the schedule of events for the night so we felt he was completely on the ball and helped my wife and I focus on each other and the guests without worrying about logistics or timing.
The music was also ON POINT as was our intro, first dances, and everything else that was handled by Travis and UE staff. They brought in a photo booth/mirror thing that our guests LOVED...they also brought in all the props to be used for the booth and even gave us a thumb drive with all the pictures from the booth to have after the wedding.
Overall, we felt incredibly taken care of and I would encourage anybody considering using UE to absolutely have these guys on your wedding team!

Travis Hempstead was an incredible DJ. My wife and I were very particular about not only the songs played at our reception but also MC'ing most of it ourselves with family members. Travis was patient, accommodating, and helped us keep on track many times throughout the evening. He even rose to the occasion extending our last song several times so that we could be on the dance floor after a family member's minor medical emergency. He played the perfect mix using almost every song we requested along with others he selected that accented our picks and read the room just right. He had the dance floor packed all night and the energy was through the roof! He was a pleasure to work with and truly executed our vision for our reception. I can't say it enough, you want this guy DJ'ing your wedding!

Travis and Unique Events saved our outdoor wedding! When sprinkles threatened to foil all our hard work to get an outdoor altar and seating, Travis took the lead in deciding whether our wedding had to be moved indoors. We went through Plan A, Plan B, C and D before Travis, who was diligently monitoring the weather, noticed that if we postponed 10 minutes, we could still be outside! He was right! Even though he had a lot of fancy equipment and he could easily have said we had to move indoors, Travis never lost sight of our desire to be outdoors--and he made it happen!

From initial consultation to follow-up after the wedding, they did not miss a beat. We worked with Travis H. through the majority of the process and he put our minds at ease from the first time we spoke. The day of the wedding he rocked it.

I cannot say enough good things about Unique Events and highly recommend their services!

I can't begin to explain how wonderful Riley Mullane was to work with as our wedding DJ! We couldn't have asked for anyone better! We planned our wedding in Illinois for a year and a half while my husband and I juggled a long distance relationship as I was in Colorado for medical school and his constant communication whether it was through email, FaceTime, or in person, quick responsiveness to our ENDLESS emails and questions, and overall amazing and kind personality made us feel so calm, excited, and prepared for and during our wedding! Everything flowed so smoothly and we are so grateful for his constant communication leading up to the day and most importantly the day of! We just feel so lucky to have had him and it seriously felt like it was the best day of our lives and the best it could ever be! Being Dominican I was worried about finding a DJ that could incorporate the spanish music of my culture with the music of my husband's caucasian family but he blended our cultures so beautifully and was so willing to learn about the music of my country! All of our guests have been raving about how much fun our wedding was as we literally had the dance floor packed ALL night and were all sore the next day! He is such a genuine, kind, wonderful, talented, and amazing soul and it was an honor working with him and gaining a friend! Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping make our wedding day absolutely INCREDIBLE!

Unique Events was an absolute DREAM to work with! Worth every penny!! Riley did everything he could to help us with anything we needed including jumping in to help us with ceremony music super last minute (like the day before the wedding)! Our ceremony and reception ran so smoothly all thanks to him, he ran the whole show without ever needing my help! He allowed me to just sit back and enjoy the day! I hope to work with him again in the future! :)

It such such a pleasure working with Unique Events and Bobby Abellana (our DJ)! Bobby did such a great job choosing music for the dinner portion and dancing! He did a great job keeping the flow of the wedding going with his announcements, and kept us on schedule too! We had so many positive reviews from our guests! Bobby also helped save the day when I forgot my veil inside right before the ceremony. Bobby rushed into the bridal suite to help me find it! We would recommend Unique Events and Bobby to anyone looking for a DJ!

Many friends recommended Unique Events to us for our wedding music, so we got in touch with Riley and from the first phone call on we were impressed with his level of detail, enthusiasm, and knowledge. Music was an important component to us for our wedding, so we wanted to make sure we selected someone who understood both our taste and knew how to keep the dance floor filled :) Riley accomplished all of this and more! He had great advice when it came to the timeline and helped keep us on track without needing much guidance. This really was much more than a DJ service. Thank you for being proactive and fun Riley!

We had an outstanding experience working with Unique Events! Not only did we use their DJ service but we also did strung bistro lights and a upgraded barn wood head table. It was absolutely perfect and our DJ Riley was awesome to work with! From the planning process all the way to the night of our wedding, he really knew and understood us as a couple and our style. Our guests danced all night and complimented us even days after on the music. Thank you to the best! We are so grateful!

Unique Events is simply the best out there! They did my brother’s wedding reception last June and it was an unbelievable experience. I remember saying to my fiancé directly after the reception that we would go with nobody else. We just had our own wedding reception and they live up to their 5/5 stars. Nobody is better than unique events! Thank you DJ Travis

Riley made us feel so comfortable as soon as we met with him that we did not even consider other companies. We were certainly not disappointed with the services Unique Events provided for our wedding day! We've continued to hear praise for the services Unique Events provided and how fun the night was made with the great music played and amazing bistro lighting. Riley definitely got a sense for the music the guests liked and was able to get them on the dance floor! The comfortable Riley provided us prior to the day was a great relief for that actual wedding day and it was so nice knowing that good decisions were going to be made without us having to be continuously asked on the wedding day. We truly recommend Unique Events services!

Riley and the entire Unique Events staff was absolutely amazing! They were extremely easy to work with and very accomdating!
Riley was AMAZING! Living out of state, he made evertyhing extrememly easy. He is very professional, and does a wonderful job catering to guests.
As we arrived for our grand entrance my husband decided to switch our song 30 seconds before walking in, and Riley was able to make that happen! Not only did he make it happen, but it was so smooth like it was planned the entire time, and he even knew that the song had a slow start and played the part we wanted without even telling him.
I highly recommned Riley! Everyone loves him, and our dance floor was absolutley packed from the time it opened unitl last call.

Riley & his team did a wonderful job at our wedding reception. The music was upbeat, and the momentum was at an all-time high all night! Riley took the time to get to know my husband and I, and catered to our likes, dislikes, and interests. Everything was very organized and all events throughout the night stayed within our designated timeline. I would definitely use Unique Events again!

We are so glad that we booked a DJ like Travis!Travis is so much more then just a DJ. He made sure the music was perfect but he also made sure that the day and night ran smoothly and on time. He made my husband and I be able to have fun with family and friends and not have to worry about anything throughout the night. I can't say enough great things about Travis! He went above and beyond! Simply the BEST! So happy that he was apart of our day!

Avery was our DJ for our NYE '17 wedding reception, and he did such an AMAZING job. The DJ plays such a huge role in the flow of the reception and we were completely confident in Avery to keep everything running smoothly. He played just the right mix of music that kept guests of all ages on the dance floor all night.
Avery was also so accommodating, from listening to the music requests from guests, to even asking the wedding party if we were doing ok on drinks during dinner. We received so many compliments from family and friends on how Awesome Avery was!
When you hire these guys, you’re getting more than just a DJ. Their attention to detail and passion for what they do makes them the best of the best!
Thank you so much for doing such an incredible job and for being a part of our day!
