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

I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience with a DJ. Nathan was very professional when dealing with me beforehand and very thorough when asking questions regarding what sort of music/vibe I wanted for my wedding. The actual wedding experience was so good that literally half of my guest list felt the need to tell me the music at my wedding was the better then any other wedding they have been to.

My wife and I got married last night and wanted to write a review ASAP! Nathan did an amazing job at and everything leading up to our wedding! He controlled the crowd and played all the right music! Made it such a great and fun time! Would definitely recxommend him for any event!

Nathan and Joel made our daughter's wedding so enjoyable every step of the way. We actually had them both at my son's wedding 9 months earlier and I was very impressed in how they kept things moving and the song selection was so fun. So, when my daughter was ready to get married I was insistent that we use their company. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a DJ!

When researching DJ's/Lighting I was a little uncertain on which route to take. I came across Joel and Nathan's company and started reading reviews. They, of course, were all amazing, so I decided to reach out. Throughout the entire process, they listened to everything I wanted and gave great suggestions in areas I had no idea the answer to. I changed things on them multiple times and without hesitation, they switched it for me. They kept the party going all night at our wedding without missing a bit. I got so many compliments on how fun and amazing they were. I would recommend to anyone for any event!

One word: AMAZING. They were simply AMAZING. First off, they met with us and were just awesome. They helped with all our needs. They played the perfect music and knew how to get the crowd going. The lights they set up were AWESOME! They helped with the entire flow of the wedding. I don't know how we could have done it without them. It was thanks to them that everything went as smooth as it did. I would definitely recommend them to anyone! And I'm sure I'll be reaching out to them again for any dj'ing and lighting needs! THANK YOU AGAIN FOR BOTH OF YOUR AWESOMENESS!

Nathan and his partner were so great from the beginning! My sister decided they would be our DJ before we met with them! As soon as we set up a meeting we knew they were the ones we were looking for! Our family is Mexican and Hispanic and Nathan knew exactly what to play since the first meeting! He kept throwing out ideas that we loved! Loved how they coordinated everything from the lighting to the music! They played all kinds of music and they tried to keep the party going! Thank you guys for being a part of our special day and for make it that much more special and fun! Highly recommend! 💃🏻

The first impression I got from Nathan and Joel is the level of professionalism and their quick response to my messages. They were flexible in meeting near our home (which is not close for them) and meeting late in the evening because that is the time, my now husband, gets off of work. They really listened to what we were looking for and I really liked that they wrote things down. Made me feel that they cared to get things right. A few days before the wedding, I had mentioned that I had a very special song to be played for our first look. I sent Nathan the custom song and he worked very well with our photographer, wedding coordinator, and videographer to plan the surprise I had for my groom and it turned out amazingly! We also had draping with for our ceremony done with them and it really set the mood and made it feel so much more intimate. My father and friends mentioned how great he was and played amazing music! And everyone could not stop talking about the interactive screen he prov... Read moreided. It entertained our guests! Invest in your DJ. Your guests will thank you, especially if you are having a videographer! You don't want to see your guests bored in your video.

Amazing work from music, lights, announcements to the graphic. Always had the dance floor full. And Nathan worked closely with us to ensure it all goes as planned and how we wanted. I definitely recommend him for DJ. All in all awesome work!!

We booked Total Events, and it was the best decision we could have made for our wedding! Nathan did an AMAZING job at keeping the dance floor full at all times! My husband is Dominican and I'm Mexican, the music was a mix of everything and both sides of our family were pleased and we all had so much fun! No doubt we will book them again for future events! They are 100% worth it!

I left a review below about the forest wedding with lights, but the pictures didn't upload so I am trying again. (:

Nathan and his crew are awesome. You can’t go wrong. We are very greatful for their professionalism, patience and positive attitude.

Nathan (DJ DNA) was absolutely amazing! From the first meeting, we knew we made the right decision with choosing Total Event. He is so professional yet friendly and shows he truly cares to make your event exactly how you want it! Our guest danced ALL night and gave us compliments through it all on such great music, audio, & lighting! We no doubt gained a family DJ for life! Sorry Nat, you’re stuck with us. :)

Nathan is an exemplary DJ. He was very professional and flexible from the planning stage through the execution phase. He was very down to earth and made it really easy to understand what he offered and how he could go the extra mile. My wife and I really wanted to keep everyone on the dance floor regardless of age and Nathan accomplished that through his song selections. We gave him a baseline of songs we liked and he turned it into an unforgettable experience. Thank you very much Nathan and Joel!
