Black Tie was by far our first choice when looking at DJ, lighting, and photo booth for our wedding. We chatted with Mike and knew he was the guy for the job. Before the wedding he was great! Meetings with him were very helpful and motivated us to pick the best songs and organize a good timeline. The day of the wedding - he was GREAT, no AMAZING! He know all the right songs to play, got people on the dance floor, and got people excited for all the boring wedding events. We can't thank Mike for everything he did - he went far beyond what was expected! He was very flexible and open minded with bringing our own style to the wedding.

DJ Mike completely exceeded our expectations. In our planning calls, we emphasized that our biggest concern was that we wanted our guests dancing as much as possible. Mike quickly put our minds at ease and made sure we were not disappointed. First, Mike made a few suggestions during our planning sessions that created some incredible moments at our wedding (ask about the table game). Then, on our wedding day, he interacted with our guests in a way that got everyone excited about being there.

He was never "over the top" and was able to read the room several times to keep people dancing. We gave Mike a lot of freedom to bring our reception to life, and thank goodness we did because his song selection and energy that night could not have been better. Our wedding was truly the best day of our lives, and Mike made sure the celebration was nothing short of spectacular. To anyone who has the same concerns we did, rest assured you're in good hands with Mike. Thank you for an evening we will never forget!

I hired Oneka with Black Tie Entertainment to DJ my wedding in December 2021. Working with her was everything I wanted in a DJ: attentive, organized, adaptable, flexible, professional and fun. She made our experience so much fun that she did not feel like someone we recently met. I was a very particular bride and serious about my music and she understood the assignment. All of my guests enjoyed themselves and my pictures show that Oneka hit the target because no one was sitting down during the reception. I'd definitely recommend booking with her for your event. Let's not forget it was also during the pandemic so much adjusting was needed.

We LOVED working with Black Tie. First, their comprehensive approach to planning for the big day gave me a lot of anxiety relief. Second, our DJ, John Lukehart, was awesome to work with. He was both our DJ for our karaoke welcome event and our wedding reception. The guests loved him. He brought the perfect amount of energy to each event, and our guests were singing and dancing all night. In preparation for our events, he was very attentive to our overall vision, and his guidance and pointers were super helpful.

He event went above and beyond to ensure he had some "oddball" songs we wanted to sing for karaoke. He was also "down" to make whatever we wanted to happen, happen! At a certain point in the night we wanted to play the drinking game "thunderstruck" and he was all in. Highly recommend working with Black Tie and specifically John!
