    Made for a fun and carefree wedding night!

    Cannot say enough good things about Encore! We had Andre and Stephanie as our DJs and also used their Photo Booth, all of the staff from the very beginning of the wedding planning processes to the end of the night were incredible. Their communication and organization is unmatched. You get to listen to sample sets from various DJs and choose who best fits your style. Their online planning portal helps you plan your music choices but also your timeline for the whole wedding. Our DJs checked in with us multiple times throughout the night to make sure we were happy and had the dance floor going the whole night, they played something for everyone and set the tine for a fun and carefree night.

    Ray was amazing

    Ray was our DJ for the night and did amazing. When technical difficulties started he fixed them right away and made sure the night went off without a hitch. Our friends and family gave him requests and he worked everyone’s taste in music all into one great performance that kept everyone on the dance floor all night.

    Encore was easily one of our favorite Vendors

    I can easily say that Encore Events was one of our favorite vendors to work with for our wedding!

    Review of the company as a whole:
    We are from the Philadelphia area got married at Turning Stone Resort Casino in May. We actually found Encore Events at the wedding expo that TS was holding, Steph was preforming and Mikey was working the crowd – as soon as we heard Steph’s mix we knew we wanted Encore to be a part of our wedding! When talking to Mikey he mentioned the virtual open house that Encore does once a month and we thought that idea was amazing – since we lived 4+ hours away from their offices. The open house we attended was a blast – we got to listen to a bunch of their DJs, in the comfort of our own home, while still getting to interact with a few of the DJs who were also on the open house for that night.
    Encore Events truly isn’t lying when they say you become part of the Encore Family when you sign with them. We worked with so many members of their team throughout our wedding planning and we truly feel we developed relationships with each person we worked with! Everyone is super responsive either via email or text message, which we also loved.

    Encore throws a VIP event, where you can see your wedding DJ in action – we attended the Spring event just before our wedding and it was such an amazing night. Drinks were flowing, people were dancing, the vibes were incredible – and it was a mini preview of how our wedding would turn out. (This event was definitely worth the 4.5 hour drive and the speeding ticket that was encountered on the way 😂)
    We also added a photobooth package with Encore Events and Jordan was super helpful when it came to explaining all the different packages they had to offer

    Review of our wedding DJ – John Roach:
    John was incredible to work with and our guests are still talking about how good the music was at our wedding! He was so easy to talk to from the beginning of our wedding planning right up to the end. We had John custom mix our first dance and also our Mother/Groom dance and they were both done perfectly! We experienced some unexpected weather and ended up getting married in a total downpour but John rolled with the punches and the audio for our ceremony sounded exactly as it would have in perfect weather. We also had some last minute changes for my bridesmaid intro and John was able to make those changes on the fly without a problem!

    Awesome Vendor

    We highly recommend Encore Events! They were extremely professional and reliable, easy to plan and communicate with, and brought a lively, positive energy to our wedding. We had peace of mind with our ceremony sound and microphone needs, and the dance floor was super fun during the reception! The online planning portal and meetings with your DJ really ensure that all the details are covered ahead of time so that you can enjoy your dress stress-free! Mickey was helpful and experienced with any questions we had throughout the planning process. He was also receptive to our song requests and was able to cater to the various music genres/decades we were going for during the cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing portions of the night. Encore is an awesome vendor to work with!

    Blessed with the Best!

    Choosing to hire Encore to be a part of our wedding day was the best decision. Encore was a vendor I never once worried about. From the very beginning, their communication was timely and they were invested. Rich took a lot of time in our first meeting to learn about us and our vision. We then loved the opportunity to select our DJ by attending a zoom that allowed you to listen to all of their djs and their style. We found this to be an added perk. From there, we decided to hire Mickey and thank goodness we did! Not only is he phenomenal at his job of being a DJ with smooth transitions and keeping the dance floor alive, but he is a genuine person who checked in on us multiple times throughout our planning process as well as our wedding day. We received so many compliments of about our DJ and feel grateful that we had the experience we did. We also chose to use the sparkler fountains, which we loved. We also had a Photo Booth through encore and found Jordan to be wonderful to work with as she helped us choose what package would work best for us. The Photo Booth was a highlight of the night for many and having these memories forever is something I will cherish. I will hands down be recommending encore and referring anyone looking for a DJ. We were truly blessed with the best!

    We Said 'Yes' to the Best!

    Encore Events is truly the DJ and Events leader in the region. As my wife and I were looking to find our DJ for our wedding in November 2023 we were nervous as we weren't familiar with the process of how to search and select one while we lived afar in Washington, DC for our wedding in Rochester, NY.
    Encore's virtual open house events were a gift to say the least. After the first one we definitely knew who we wanted to choose (more on DJ Jordan soon!) and by our second open house we simply wanted to listen to and enjoy the mixes by several different DJs!

    From the beginning until the end, we felt that Encore and our DJ, Jordan, explained everything thoroughly and clearly. From their user friendly online portal that allows you to choose do not play, would be nice, and must play songs to also providing information on their additional services like their cold sparklers, which we opted in for later down the road.

    Now our DJ, the absolute heaven-sent Jordan Rakiewicz, is not only a master spinner, but understood both my wife and I's musical tastes with accuracy, precision and care. From just a few conversations that we had with Jordan she proved to be JUST AS excited as we were. How much more can you ask for when a vendor is clearly there for you not only professionally, but personally building a connection with us that only enhanced our entire wedding experience.

    The recognition for Jordan reverberates to this day from beyond my wife and I and throughout our entire wedding where she proved to be the ultimate hype-woman - getting our guests prepped and primed to receive us newlyweds and leading the dance floor with effortless ease. Not only that, Jordan broke down what to expect with our huge 20 person wedding party and provided crystal-clear directions to our guests with her MC finesse as the night continued on until the last minute.

    Thank you to Encore and huge thank you toJordan for keeping the high energy, flawless people-orchestration, and allowing us to reminisce on the favorite day of our lives with deep affection. We continue to hear from our family and friends how we wish we could build a time machine and go back. Much love to Encore and Jordan!

    Best. Dj. Ever.

    Ray Tiano was our wedding DJ, and he was absolutely PHENOMENAL. We had a Halloween wedding, and he happened to have some themed playlists from events past... it was just great working with someone who was as enthused about our wedding theme as we were. He just GOT US in a way that really impressed us and got us extra hyped for the big day. Then, come the wedding, Ray was very kind and attentive. Throughout the night, he checked in on us to ask how things were going, how we were doing, if we wanted a vibe change, etc. He was very personable and knowledgeable, and a talented emcee who hit all the right marks, flawlessly cued the song selections chose for special moments... And then the party started, and he blew the roof off. Our photographer, who was in from out of town and has shot hundreds of weddings, made a point to tell us how awesome Ray was. She said, "I told him if he worked in my state, I would recommend him to everyone. One of the best wedding DJs I've ever seen." He really kept the party alive all night. The dance floor got more crowded as the night went on, rather than less. Multiple people came up to us late in the evening to say goodbye, only for Ray to spin a new track that made our guests go, "Nevermind, staying for this one," and then hanging around until the end of the night. Encore was also incredibly organized and responsive to questions, with their periodic automated emails, tips, and reminders. One of the best, easiest wedding decisions we made. Thank you for making our wedding a night everyone will remember!

    Amazing experience - couldn’t have asked for more!

    Encore Events and our DJ Ray were always on top of things and responsive when we had a question. I never had to worry about anything with them and Ray had the dance floor packed all night - it was hard to get people off! Ray was awesome on the mic and all of our guests raved about the music and the whole experience. They helped make our day so special!

    Absolutely incredible!!!

    Encore was absolutely amazing! They were very responsive anytime we needed them throughout the planning process. We added on a lighting, cold, sparklers, and a photo ring. We were so excited that these options were available to us! Jon and his assistant were absolutely incredible the day of our wedding, they made sure that we stayed on schedule, and that we didn’t have to worry about a thing! Everyone was dancing the entire night they brought such a great vibe to our wedding! We would highly recommend Encore entertainment for any major events!!

    Amazing and stress free!

    Our wedding was absolutely amazing! I was exhausted from dancing for so many hours. Everything was perfect. They played all of the songs we wanted, all of the planning leading up to our wedding was super smooth, and it was everything we hoped for. The DJ can elevate the experience and this company knows what they are doing. Shoutout to Mikey V - truly amazing! I highly recommend Encore!

    Best vendor ever

    DJ/Photobooth; Jordan (Encore Entertainment)
    I cannot say enough how AMAZING Jordan and her team are!!! We got the opportunity to experience Jordan’s work and infectious personality during a zoom open house. From the jump Encore was incredible to work with, they are on top of everything !! Rich, Mickey, & John were always so quick to answer our questions and even offer to help check in with our vendors during the planning ! This company truly makes you feel like family. Jordan was on top of everything and I was anxious about the big day but after our check in zoom meeting I felt so calm. She is such a hype woman and gets the crowd going! We received tons of compliments regarding Jordan and so many people asking for her information. Encore’s photobooth was a huge hit also! Encore was one of the first vendors I booked and they were beyond helpful in the planning process every step of the way.

    Encore Events

    Working with encore was great! They helped with planning, sent reminder emails, and their planning website made everything easy. Our Dj was Mikey and he was a hit at our wedding. He kept the vibes going all night. Everyone kept telling us how awesome the music was and that it was the most fun they’ve had at a wedding!

    Best service ever!

    DJ, uplighting, Photo Booth, cold sparklers, monogram… you name it they can do it and insanely well. Our dance floor was never empty, they made sure to keep the party going and if you couldn’t find someone on the dance floor they were most likely in the Photo Booth. Their team knocked it out of the park!

    10/10, No Notes - Best DJ Ever

    DJ Ray did an amazing job for our wedding - and that's an understatement. My husband and I couldn't stop raving about everything he did, from keeping everything on track, playing a great set of songs (we got many compliments from guests), and keeping the energy on the dance floor. Not only did he accommodate all of our requests, but he anticipated things we didn't even know we needed. I would recommend DJ Ray to anyone for their wedding!

    An Amazing Experience with Encore Events

    Our experience with Encore Events from start to finish was nothing but exceptional. From working with Jordan our "Booth Fairy" who not only led a comprehensive overview of booth options but also designed our overlays to Mikey who helped go over the planning portal, everyone was extremely helpful and incredibly nice and personable. John Roach was our DJ and was absolutely fantastic. One of the most important aspects of our wedding to me was our DJ, I wanted to make sure everyone was up dancing having a good time with a legit DJ and John is just that. I could not recommend John enough, he made sure everyone had a great time and was a great help to our officiant making sure she felt comfortable with equipment during the ceremony. We could not be more pleased with the entire Encore team!

    From the moment we considered booking Encore, John and his team were so helpful! From planning meetings to their planning website we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The day of, John kept everyone on the dance floor with the best playlist for us!

    Best wedding planning decision!

    We hired John for DJ services for our wedding and we had absolutely no regrets with that decision. We had guests coming up to us all night, as well as for weeks after the wedding, complementing the DJ - from the playlist to the song transitions and announcements throughout the night. There was not a single point in time where the dance floor died down. From the moment we decided to hire Encore Events, the planning process was extremely easy and straight forward. The planning portal was a great way to build our music choices over time and made it much less daunting than sitting down to do it all at once. We even had some last minute song changes the night before the wedding, and John was more than accommodating to make sure everything went perfectly!

    Wedding DJ

    Ray was absolutely amazing. He listened to what we wanted, he hyped our guest, and most importantly he was part of beautiful memories. We will cherish them forever.
