The Pulse Entertainment crew made our daughter's quinceanera an amazing celebration! Our guests didn't leave the dance floor because of the plethora of great dance music and we had so much positive feedback, especially about our MC, Antonio. The lighting added so much to the festive atmosphere - we're so glad we added that to our package. We loved the photo booth photos, they all came out so great because of the lighting and golden backdrop. Antonio took time to get to know our guests and make them all feel special. He danced with everyone and made my daughter the star of the night. I highly recommend Pulse Entertainment if you want an event you won't forget!

Perfect wedding! Ross, Walt, Mohamed, Daniel and the rest of the team at Pulse entertainment were absolutely incredible. They were organized, professional, and they know how to keep a party going! They had our guests out on the dance floor for hours and I have a ton of amazing photos showcasing what a great time everyone had! Thank you so much Pulse Entertainment for being a part of our special day!

Pulse was great to work with from the very beginning. We were having our reception only after it being postponed due to Covid. They were super accommodating and understood that we were wanting more of a party than reception related to a wedding. The DJ came up with a game to get everyone involved and the mix of music was just what we were looking for. Can't say enough great things!

We used Pulse Entertainment for every aspect of our daughter's wedding on 5/14/22. Ross offered a one-stop shop solution: Officiant, DJ, MC, Photography and Videography, lighting, etc. Ross and his entire team were extremely professional, responsive, collaborative, and they carefully curated all of the details meticulously. We couldn't be happier and recommend the full-service team 100%! No need to go anywhere else! Everyone was on the dance floor the entire time, and this includes guests of all age groups.

We hired Pulse Entertainment to do two dances for my school back-to-back, one for grades 3/4/5 and another for grades 6/7/8. The DJ kept the current jams, all kid friendly, flowing and the MC led the kids in dances and games, got them up to the microphone to sing and kept the party lively. She did this for BOTH dances! Incredible event. The kids raved about it and are STILL talking about how much fun it was. And Pulse was reasonably priced as well. On time, professional, and fun. You couldn't ask for more.

Pulse entertainment was phenomenal to work with! The preparation was straightforward and easy and I can't say enough good things about the staff at the party. The MC, Antonio, was unbelievable - he had so much energy and kept the guests engaged all night. The lighting, set up, DJ, photo booth, etc all was so awesome. Our guests were so impressed and had a great time.

Antonio was stellar. Not only did he keep the kids at my grandson's bar mitzvah totally engaged he was also a gentleman in control. He mingled with the crowd during cocktail to introduce himself and familiarize himself with the family and the base line energy level. Once the kids began to arrive, he kept them 100% entertained. He was a charming emcee throughout the night. While the bar mitzvah boys parents we're giving a short speech, a group of kids on the sideline was getting a little rowdy.
Instead of publicly calling out to them to settle down and detract from the speeches, he quietly walked over to them, said a few calming words and sat among them to allow the speeches to be heard. This was an impressive example of how to manage a crowd in a totally cool way. He and his crew were above and beyond our expectations in every way. Th guests could not stop raving about how wonderful the event was run.
