Photo Booth/Dj services
Devail and Nikki did such an amazing job from start to finish!!! everything was super organized and professional and all of our guest kept saying how great the Dj was. They were so patient with some of our last minute request and had the ability to adapt with changes during the wedding! The photo booth was also a hit and guest loved it! I highly recommend both Nikki and Devail for your next event! No Boring reception here!!!! -

Nikki and Devail made everything so easy from the beginning! I love the portal they gave us to enter all the songs we wanted to hear. And everything went by so smoothly with Devail on the mic! The music was exactly what we wanted to hear and that was really important to us! Highly recommend!196 Events's reply:
Thank you, Darby! This mean so much coming from a music pro like you. :-) Your wedding felt like a Broadway love story. Thank you for trusting us with your very special day. -

“No boring reception” is an understatement! Music was one of the most important aspects for our wedding. We love to dance and so do our family and friends so finding a DJ that will deliver was incredibly important to us. Devail & Nikki were incredible from the first phone call. They listened to our vision and promised they would deliver and deliver they did. Their planning suite was a helpful tool and being able to use that for our planning was a huge help. We had a phone call nailing down the final details a week before the wedding which went fantastic. Our wedding could not have been more perfect! Devail stuck to our playlist and had everyone on the dance floor all night! The mixing of songs was awesome. Any tweaks we needed they delivered. What stood out to me the most besides the epic entertainment was we had a last minute change of who was going to be doing the welcome speech. Devail took it upon himself to track down my uncle (in a family of over 70ish people) without having a clue who he was and succeeded. INCREDIBLE! Above and beyond are the best words to describe 196 Events! It is so abundantly clear how much they care about their clients and we could not have been more happy. Thank you Devail and Nikki from the bottom of our hearts for making our vision into a reality!196 Events's reply:
What a thoughtful review. Thank you so much for sharing your experience with 196 Events. We have been anticipating your wedding day since November of 2021! It's kind of bittersweet now that the day has come and gone already. It was great to finally meet you face to face and be a part of your beautiful wedding day. -

Nikki and Devail are a POWER COUPLE and know how to party! They made every step of the planning process so easy and were very responsive with any questions we had. We started planning our wedding February 2020 and had to push our date twice. 196 Events worked so patiently with us and we were so thrilled they could keep making our new dates work. They worked so well with our venue, The Lesner Inn, to ensure our timeline went smoothly and all our traditions were included that we wanted to see. They catered to every small detail we requested and went above and beyond with super fun remixes and song mashups! I wish I could re-live this night over and over again thanks to 196 Events!196 Events's reply:
Thank you, Brenna!! Devail and I had the best time ever. Definitely could have kept the party going all night.
I'm so happy y'all finally had your special day. With all the ups and downs of planning and rescheduling, it feels like things worked out exactly the way they were supposed to.
Thank you for allowing us to be part of your amazing day! -

Blakely C. Sent on 04/23/2022Dream team!
Nikki and Devail were a dream team and power couple! I first met with NIkki to discuss their DJ and Photobooth package and from our initial meeting her excitement was infectious! We picked our vendors based off of the feeling they gave us and I knew immediately I wanted her energy there for our day! We had a unique dinosaur themed wedding and not only did they embrace it but they also were excited and worked hard to bring it to life. This included adding in non-traditional songs (Jurassic Park Theme Song) to adjusting our photobooth template to add dinosaurs. Devail provided music at the ceremomy and a mic for our officiant. He then provided music for cocktails and dinner and kept the party going for the reception. Nikki manned the photobooth, which our guests thoroughly enjoyed, especially being able to make gifs (who knew that was even a thing?!). You also get a link after with all of the photobooth pictures which was so fun to look through! Overall I can't thank them enough for helping with our special day!196 Events's reply:
Blakely, Devail & I could not wait to help you & Levi celebrate your day. You had us at "dino themed". We grew up in the 90's when the original Jurassic Park came out and the show "Dinosaurs" (not the mama) was still a hit. Thank you for trusting us with your special day. It was definitely one to remember. We appreciate you sharing this thoughtful review with other potential #196couples. We wish you both the very best! -

Tina Sent on 03/28/2022Highly Recommend!
Devail & Nikki were nothing but prompt, professional, and so kind. They were extra helpful in planning meetings and helped customize our song list and photo backdrop to fit the vibe of our wedding. Our guests couldn't get enough of the photo booth (the props were too funny) and tore up the dancefloor all evening. They truly helped make our special night unforgettable for everyone involved! Highly highly recommend 196 Events.196 Events's reply:
Thank you, Tina. You and Evan are so sweet and have such an amazing tribe of family and friends. Glad you liked the props. We really appreciate you sharing this kind review and for inviting us to be a part of your special day. Blessings to you both! -

Shelby W. Sent on 12/12/2021Best reception ever - danced all night!
I can't overstate how much fun we had at our wedding thank you to 196 Events. The music was perfect from beginning to end, it was fun, inclusive without being cheesy, poignant when appropriate, and the dance floor was BUMPIN. We just could not be happier, and 196's narration kept us going throughout the night and right on schedule!196 Events's reply:
Thank you, Daniel and Shelby, for this fantastic review. We had a great time celebrating with you. It was great meeting you and your sweet families. Blessings to you both! -

Devail and Nikki were amazing! We are so glad we got to share our day with them. They worked with us to help plan the pace of events, music style, and even last minute requests/changes. They are 10/10 professionals. I couldn’t recommend them enough.196 Events's reply:
Thank you for your kind words. We are so glad you and Alex were finally have the wedding you deserved. COVID doesn't have anything on a determined bride :-). Congratulations to you both! We wish you the very best! -

Amber Sent on 06/26/2018Where do I start?! 196 is absolutely amazing!! Devail and Nikki are the most down to earth people we have ever met!! We hit it off on our first meeting and we texted them before we left the parking lot to let them know that we wanted to work with them. They were very responsive to my emails and text messages and only wanted what was in our best interests! On our wedding day they surpassed our expectations!! Our guests did not want to leave the dance floor and didn’t want the night to be over!! Though there were just a few snags along the way, Devail and Nikki kept it very professional and fun!! I sweated out my hairstyle, that’s how much fun I had and it was all thanks to 196 events!! If you’re looking for a DJ that’s going to keep the party going, then give 196 events a call: you will NOT be disappointed!! P.S. they have the coolest photo booth as well!!

Liz Sent on 06/12/2018BEST PHOTO BOOTH EVER!!!!!!! Literally the only thing I can say is that my biggest wedding regret is not getting in the booth myself enough! The pictures are amazing, this couple is amazing, everything is TOP NOTCH!!!! Gorgeous pictures, modern set up, friendliest staffing ever - not only should you hire them, but you should also tell your DJ and wedding planner to encourage people to get their butts over to the booth as much as possible - because people are going to go crazy for these pictures! Also, the team is SO easy to work with and will find you the PERFECT backdrop and PERFECT photo booth strip design. SO patient. SO kind. So, I'll say it again - BEST PHOTO BOOTH EVER!!!!196 Events's reply:
Wow, Liz! I don’t even know what to say. Thank you so much for this gleaming review. You guys were a great couple to work with. We appreciate you allowing us to be a part of your wedding day! ❤️ -

Claudia Sent on 05/19/2018Devail was the best! We had what some might call a smaller wedding, so I was a little worried about keeping people on the dance floor...but Devail was great about playing the music we liked, getting people motivated, and even getting on the dance floor with our guests!! 10/10 would recommend for any other bride in Hampton Roads!196 Events's reply:
What an awesome review! We really appreciate you and Derek for letting us take part in your wedding. Small group our not, we had a great time celebrating with you! It was a pleasure to meet you both.
