Amazing Experience!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Highland Preferred for my wedding, and I can honestly say they transformed our special day into an unforgettable experience! From the moment I reached out, their professionalism and attention to detail put my mind at ease. It's clear that they know how to create incredible memories, whether it’s for personal celebrations or corporate events. We opted for a DJ and live band combo, and from the moment our guests heard the first notes, the dance floor was packed! The DJ effortlessly mixed genres, catering to all ages, while the band brought that lively energy that really got everyone involved. Our LED dance floor was a showstopper, literally sparkling under the lights as our friends danced the night away. The various photo booths offered by Highland Preferred were an absolute hit! Each booth had its own unique props and backgrounds, allowing our guests to capture fun memories throughout the evening. And I can’t say enough about the photography and videography services—the team was unobtrusive while perfectly capturing every moment. Just a few days after the event, we were delighted to receive a sneak peek at some of the photos—they were simply stunning! Moreover, their up lighting and decor services added an elegant touch to our venue. They truly transformed the space into a fairy tale setting that we had only dreamed about. Everything was reasonably priced, especially given the level of service provided. I genuinely felt like we got so much value for our investment. If you’re planning a wedding, corporate gathering, or any type of event, I can’t recommend Highland Preferred enough. They take the stress out of party planning and deliver results that exceed expectations. Thank you for making our celebration the talk of the town!

Thank you so much Highland Preferred

Words can’t express how happy I am that Highland Preferred was a part of our special day. Not only are they extremely talented musicians but they were constantly making sure that everyone was engaged and enjoying themselves. I had quite a few special requests and they granted them without hesitation. People are still telling me a week after our wedding how amazing the music was and how they never wanted to stop dancing! We had a DJ, a trumpet player, percussionist, and drummer. Fusion is the way to go! Thank you so much!

Fantastic experience!!

It was such a pleasure to work with Corey and Highland Preferred! Corey guided us through the end-to-end process for lighting and music and was so easy to communicate with and very patient and accommodating. We had live musicians play for our ceremony (we were able to select which songs we wanted) and they were incredible! The DJ was fantastic at MC'ing the reception and working up the crowd on the dance floor. Thank you again for an incredible experience!
