We were so excited to be able to work with Center Stage Entertainment for our wedding in March. They were an awesome company who were able to provide all aspects of entertainment under one roof. Their business offers DJ services, sound equipment, lighting equipment, and photo booth services to be utilized by all customers. For us, we truly went directly to them because of the reputation of their phenomenal DJ, Johnny B. Center Stage Entertainment provided a photo booth, an attendant, a gold shimmery background (to match our theme), and a bunch of props for our wedding. A lot of times at weddings, we see that the photo booth is sometimes "forgotten" about. However, for our wedding, it was set up right near the bathrooms and DJ station, allowing easy access for people to request songs while also taking pictures. All pictures were posted in a photo album they provided for us and all of our guests were able to write sassy messages in the book as an extra memento from our incredible day. Johnny Ballerini was the DJ at both of my sisters' weddings, and we knew that his style of DJ skills were exactly what we were looking for for our big day. Johnny was so flexible with every request we had. Johnny offered his musical services to cover both the reception and ceremony, since our ceremony was on site and we decided not to hire any additional orchestra pieces. We were given the task to fill out our request sheet for both of these from Center Stage and we became very discombobulated with the manner of how to request songs through the system. Johnny decided to create a GoogleDoc of his personal accord for us to log our song choices. He would use this GoogleDoc to run from the day of the big event. This document also allowed us to pull specific songs from Youtube/Spotify/Pandora and place them directly into the document so that the correct specific versions we were requesting would be played. Johnny was so accommodating! When he initially sent the document it was focused on a traditional couple, and when asked he modified the entire document to be directed towards our same-sex relationship. Johnny knows how to keep a party moving! Being able to see him in action at two previous weddings gave us such comfort to hire him for our wedding, but to see him in action is like nothing you can even imagine. He moved seamlessly from song to song, kept it moving from one hit to the next, was able to read the crowd on what songs were well received and pivot when needed, he knew when to throw in some slow songs, and he was such a sport in being able to run up and down from the balcony down to the dance floor to keep things moving with speeches, blessings, cake, and all the other mini events of the wedding. All in all, we knew we were in good hands with DJ Johnny B, but we were simply blown away with his talent and his perfection of his craft! He made our night memorable. Thank you for making our day the best it could have ever been!
