    Professional Company, Tons of Fun

    Our guests loved the photo booth. Cornerstone was professional throughout the whole process: from booking to take up and tear down. I would highly recommend them for your event!

    Wedding Cancelled but Drew was extremely Professional

    We had booked Drew but were unfortunately unable to work with him as our wedding was cancelled due to Covid.
    I still wanted to write a review as he showed a high level of professionalism during the entire ordeal.
    He was very responsive the entire time. He took my call and answered all my questions when we were looking to book a DJ. He seemed very organized and had invoice, contract, and song list sent to me right away which made the booking process very straightforward.
    Mostly though, I really appreciated his understanding that Covid cancelled our wedding. His cancellation policy was very fair and I did not have to fight him for a refund, since regulations prevented us from having our wedding. He was very responsive and I really appreciated that. I am sad we didn’t get to work with him but thanks to the level of professionalism he displayed, I will hire him if another chance presents itself.

    Let’s get the party started!

    Drew is seriously such a joy to work with. From the very beginning, he sets you at ease with his funloving spirit and professionalism. The meticulous attention to detail shines during the prep planning calls, and he stayed in constant communication throughout. He is great on the mic and really helped our wedding guests have a fantastic time, balancing the music along with Emcee duties seamlessly. Planning a wedding during a pandemic is challenging, but he was understanding throughout, helping to brainstorm new ideas and necessary changes, so that we could have the best event possible. Drew is a true gem of a DJ, we appreciate him so much and couldn't have done it without him!

    Excellent DJ Choice!

    We are feeling extremely grateful for choosing Drew and Cornerstone Entertainment as our wedding DJ. The attention to detail and ability to orchestrate our musical wishes was truly impressive. We appreciated his calm and patient demeanor while troubleshooting challenges that occurred during set up. In the end, we couldn’t have been happier with the music and Drew. Our memories will last forever and he was a vital part of making those memories perfect.

    Amazing!! Absolutely recommend


    Absolutely amazing!! There aren’t enough great things we can say about Drew!! He worked with us up until the day of our wedding making sure all the songs we picked were perfect! He helped with our day-of timeline, helping vendors, and everything in between! So much more than a DJ!! Drew kept the music and party going all night long, the dance floor was never empty! Every guest made a comment about how much fun he made the night! And the best part, when I couldn’t find my garter..he had an extra one! Totally came in and saved the night!! Cannot say enough great things about Drew!! We want to get married every week and have Drew be there to DJ!!!!

    Best person to work with

    We had the pleasure of working with Drew at CornerStone Entertainment for our wedding. He was professional, understanding, and a real pleasure to work with. Super responsive and accommodating.

    We ended up having a family emergency and had to postpone the wedding reception. However I am beyond excited to work with him in the future.

    To anyone looking for someone with personality, character, and kindness CornerStone entertainment is the way to go! -Eddie & Jordan Montoya

    Perfect photo booth for our wedding!

    We got the social photo booth for our wedding and couldn’t have been happier! Our guests loved it. During the planning process Drew was incredibly helpful and flexible. I liked that he was cool with us using our own props, because we wanted to use lightsabers. The open booth setup was nice, too, because we got some good group shots that wouldn’t have been possible with those enclosed booths. I was initially unsure about not having an attendant running the booth (someone was on hand to check on it) but the booth was super easy to use, even for the grandparents. It was definitely the right choice!

    Cornerstone Entertainment's reply:

    Thanks so much, Jessica! You and Lianne were fantastic to work with. It was an honor to help with your wedding!

    Very fun photo booth experience!

    The Social Booth was a HUGE HIT at our wedding! Drew was so easy to work with and very accommodating. He coordinated with Northstar and Audere Events to schedule the delivery and take-down. He brought it up in the chairlift. It was self-run since it’s a selfie booth. Our guests from children to our grandparents were all able to use the selfie station/social booth. It was so much fun because of the green screen. He let us send him backdrops to use. We included photos of Madagascar and Paris because that’s where we were going on our honeymoon. They also have awesome Lake Tahoe backgrounds that we had available for our guests. A wide range of digital props were included. We ended up adding extra time for the selfie station because everyone was enjoying it so much! We highly recommend the Social Booth at your next event!

    Drew did an amazing job!

    We are so glad we went with Cornerstone for DJ and photo booth services. Drew is professional, organized and kept our day on schedule. We discussed our music preference prior to the event and he made it happen. Our guest had an amazing time dancing and taking lots of pictures. He event helped me with extra equipment I needed for a special surprise performance. Thanks again for everything Drew, Janessa and Kenneth

    Keeps the party going!

    Getting a DJ was one of the first vendors I looked for when I began wedding planning because I didn’t want a mediocre one. I went through SO many reviews trying to find one that we thought would fit our needs, and landed on Drew with Cornerstone Entertainment.

    I was happy to find out he was available on our date and started to get him booked. Paying our initial deposit was easy, along with the final payment because he sent a PayPal invoice- this made it simple. No need to be mailing checks and such and didn’t have to worry about paying him the day of the wedding.

    After we paid the first deposit, he sent us a questionnaire to fill our as our date got closer and also sent a list of so many songs for weddings! This was a super helpful resource as it had sections listing “top dance songs”, “top father-daughter songs”, “top processional songs”, etc. Do you know how much work it would have been to do that ourselves? The answer is way too much! Drew made that easy.

    About a week before our wedding we had a phone conversation going over our questionnaire and he made sure that he had a good idea of who we were and what kind of music we liked and wanted. The questionnaire was helpful in making sure that all the details song wise were figured out ahead of time such as the professional, recessional, bouquet toss, cake cutting, garter toss, final song of the night and so on were chosen. You don’t typically think of those details right away so it was nice to be reminded of them and to have them done.

    Come the wedding day, Drew arrived early and began to set up everything he needed. When my husband and I met him we both thought he was super amiable and definitely had experience doing what he does. I liked that he had an iPad to play music from that way he wasn’t glued to his station the whole time and could make sure the mics were going to the right place during our toasts. Drew really kept the party going and all of our guests had a great time! As did we! Many of our guests let us know how great of a job they thought he did.

    One of my favorite things about Drew was that he took time to talk to me during dinner. He told me how special our ceremony was, and that it reminded him of his own. It made me feel happy that he took time out of his night to let me know how much he enjoyed it even though he was being paid to be there.

    Overall, Drew was a great DJ, a wonderful Emcee, and just a very kind person to work with.

    I don’t know when or if I will ever need a DJ again, but if I do, I will hands down go with Drew. Choose Cornerstone Entertainment if you want to have a super fun event that meets your taste, and is easy to plan!

    Cornerstone Entertainment's reply:

    You guys are too kind! I loved working with you, and I thought your wedding was awesome. So fun. I hope to see you guys again the future. Maybe I can DJ your 40th anniversary party! :)

    Hire Cornerstone Entertainment now!

    Drew did such a great job as the DJ at our wedding. He's super organized and made us feel really comfortable with his preparedness leading up to the wedding. He respected all of our requests and brainstormed ideas on how to adjust things we weren't too fond of (like the bridal party intros). He even created a custom mix upon request. We loved working with Drew - if you want a true professional who will run your wedding seamlessly and keep the dance floor going, hire Cornerstone Entertainment!

    5 Stars
    Drew did an amazing job from start to finish. From planning the timeline of events, choosing songs, keeping us on schedule, keeping people engaged, mic up for the ceremony, handling our special requests and beyond. I can’t say enough about how well he worked with us and how much he helped make our wedding day what it was. Great job.

    We hired Drew for our wedding and had the best experience. I greatly appreciated Drew's professionalism and flexibility with our needs. Drew was very responsive and communicated well with us regarding schedule and song selection. He is very detail oriented which greatly reduced our stress for the wedding. Everyone loved the music and even though our wedding was small, people were constantly on the dance floor. Thank you Drew for such great service!

    Drew made my reception a big hit with the music and the photo booth I wish I would have had it on video.

    I wish I could do it again! FYI: We are all over 50+ and the photo booth was a big hit!!

    Beautifully perfect

    I wasn't completely sure how everything was going to work out since people wouldn't have prints, (an optional extra that we didn't order) but everything turned out great. There was a massive snow storm in Tahoe the day of our wedding and Drew was still there on time and let us know before he cleaned up so people could take some last minute photos. Everything turned out perfect and people had so much fun with the props and gifs they were able to create. Technology isn't my cup of tea but drew was very patient with me and explained everything I had questions about.

    Professional and Dependable

    The owner, Drew Kondo, is a consummate professional with excellent communication skills. Everything went smoothly before, during, and following our wedding. Drew gave me clear specs for designing my own photo strip template and tested it out beforehand. He also has several great designs to choose from, but I utilized my graphic design skills for an extra custom look. I’m glad he let me know about his dietary restrictions so we didn’t order a vendor meal for him. At the end of the night, he gave us a flash drive with all of the photo booth images, which he later posted in an online gallery that we were able to share with family and friends. Thanks, Drew!

    Cornerstone Entertainment's reply:

    Thanks so much for the kind words. It was great working with you, Jesse, and your very fun friends and family. Congrats on your new marriage!

    So helpful and easy to work with

    Clay was the DJ for our South Lake Tahoe wedding and he did an excellent job! My husband and I wanted a DJ who wouldn't be cheesy or annoying, and Clay fit that perfectly. He was always very professional when communicating with us and gave us great tips and insight during the planning process about how to time out our ceremony/reception and what music would work well for each part. He did a great job of playing the music we discussed and also going with the flow when we had last minute changes. I would not hesitate to recommend him to everyone I know!

    DJ and photo booth

    Drew did a great job on our wedding at Heavenly Lakeview Lodge. He was very professional, responsive and comparable in price. He had great lists of songs for ideas. We meet the week before to review all of the details of the ceremony and reception. Everyone loved the photo booth too!

    Cornerstone Entertainment's reply:

    Thanks so much, Lauren. It was fantastic working with you and Michael. Thank you for choosing me to DJ your wedding!
