    Photobooth Service

    We used Riptide for our son and daughter-in-law’s wedding on April 27, 2024.
    They were very easy to work with and quick to respond to emails. They were very timely in setting up the Photobooth and worked with us to get our very large backdrop in the background. Everyone had a great time with the props and quick printed photo strips. They were extremely quick with getting us the online digital copies of every photo taken!
    Thank you!

    Thank you so much, Becky! You all were wonderful to work with. We genuinely appreciate amazing clients such as yourself. It looked like so much fun! Cheers to your whole family for throwing an amazing celebration for your son and his new wife.

    We had so much fun!

    We are so happy we hired riptide productions for our wedding! A fun party atmosphere was very important to us and Drew absolutely delivered. He was able to read the crowd so well and the dance floor was full until the end of the night! We had such a great time dancing and our guests said they did as well. Matt was also great to work with and was very patient answering all our questions. We loved that riptide productions has a very detailed survey for couples to fill out so everyone is on the same page. We highly recommend riptide productions!

    RipTide Productions's reply:

    Thank you so much, Mara! You all were wonderful to work with. We genuinely appreciate amazing clients such as yourself. Your review is so kind, and we cannot thank you enough. Cheers to your whole family for throwing an amazing celebration!

    Fantastic experience!

    Working with Matt at Riptide Productions was awesome and made our wedding feel extra special! The sound and lighting equipment he brought was top notch. Matt was extremely personable and made sure our guests felt welcome. We were unreachable by cell/internet the days before the wedding and he just rolled with the punches. During a surprise (at least to the grooms!) fireworks display Matt read the room and started playing firework themed songs from our playlist. Very nice touch! Definitely recommend working with Riptide!!

    RipTide Productions's reply:

    Thank you so much for the kind words, Nate! We are so appreciative of wonderful clients such as you. I had a fantastic time, and I can't thank you enough for choosing us for your big day! Terrapin was such an excellent choice!

    Matt and the Rip Tide Team Were Great!

    Matt and his team did a great job the day of our wedding! Matt was friendly and professional - you could tell he wanted our day to be great. Everyone enjoyed the music, the photo booth and thanks to Matt we were able to find a little something special for our guests. My husband and I definitely recommend Matt and the Rip Tide Productions team!

    Great energy and easy to work with

    Matt was an easy pick from the very beginning. He had a very detailed pamphlet laying out all of his different options and packages to fit our needs and budget. We always received fast responses from Matt. We decided to add the photobooth before the wedding and he was happy to accommodate our request, the photobooth was also a huge hit! From the ceremony, to his emcee duties and of course his DJing style and selection, he was an absolute blast to have on our wedding day. He asks what you want played and he follows through with your vision. "Matt in the Hat" certainly was a hit and brought the energy to keep the night going and people dancing.

    RipTide Productions's reply:

    Heather, you are too kind. I had the best time with you all. We are so fortunate to have the country’s best clients! Especially one that flies the country!! 🤪 Thank you so much for your kind words. It means so much to us. Matt in the Hat is it. I love it! Much love to you both!

    Incredible Service!

    Aaron and Logan did an incredible job being the DJ and photo booth manager. We can't say enough good things! The dance floor was packed for the whole reception and the photo booth was a huge hit. We got so many compliments toward them from so many guests. There was very thorough communication ahead of time and I was so impressed with their professionalism. We couldn't be happier with the outcome and would highly recommend Riptide Productions for any wedding or event!

    Riptide brought the party!

    Matt Gwynn with Riptide productions really went above and beyond to make our wedding the event of our dreams! His great MC'ing and DJ'ing got everyone out of the dance floor and kept them there all night! The photo booth was high quality, the designs of the photo strips were beautiful and the props were so fun, all the guests enjoyed it. Many of our guests said it was the most fun reception they had ever been to. If I could leave a review with more than 5 stars I would!

    RipTide Productions's reply:

    Thank you so much, Beth! This review is so nice!! We had a blast with you all and couldn't be happier for a nicer couple! Cheers to you both!

    Matt was great! We changed the plan for our ceremony the morning of the wedding and Matt was super flexible getting everything setup for our new plan.

    If we could do our wedding over, we would choose Riptide Productions every time!

    I cannot thank Matt and all of the Riptide Productions team members enough for giving us a stress free, wonderful wedding experience! We were worried about choosing the music for our wedding and reception, but through consulting with Matt and filling out their detailed questionnaire, we were able to figure out and communicate exactly what we wanted. The ceremony music was done perfectly. Matt facilitated all of the events of our reception with ease and finesse, and he really kept the energy up and the party going. We chose Riptide Productions because of the clear, responsive communication between us and the team members, and we could not be happier.

    RipTide Productions's reply:

    Thank you so much for your kind words, Brooke! All of us at Riptide Productions cannot thank you enough for having us. You both are an amazing couple, and we are so fortunate to have met you all. You both will do wonderful things in this life. We wish you all the best in your new lives together. Thank you again for choosing us to be a part of your one special day. Cheers!

    Fabulous DJ!! Killed it at our wedding!

    Riptide DJs were fantastic; they were extremely reasonable in pricing considering all the “extras” that came with our package. The video screen setup for our photo slideshow was perfect, people truly enjoyed it; they also provided party lighting around the room of our reception with really made a huge difference in terms of mood & quality of photos. The music selections were awesome; our group danced all night & loved the playlist — I’ve heard from a LOT of guests how fun the music was! We can’t THANK YOU enough for everything, you guys were perfect.

    RipTide Productions's reply:

    Ashley, you rock! I seriously can't thank you enough for your kind words! We are humbled and wish you all of the best! Your entire family and friend's crew were the best. We had soooo much fun! Thanks for sharing some great pictures!

    Great DJ, Great Experience

    Matt did a fantastic job as our wedding DJ! He took a ton of time before the wedding to work through a detailed list of questions he had for us and he delivered on everything. The lighting he had for the dance party was fantastic and worth the upgrade. I would highly recommend Matt and Riptide Productions.

    RipTide Productions's reply:

    Grant,
    I can't thank you all enough for the kind words. I really appreciate that. We had a blast with you all! I wish you both the best in your future endeavors together. Cheers and Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!

    Matt was incredibly prompt, professional, flexible, and goes out of his way to ensure everything goes as smoothly as it possibly can. I would recommend him for 100% of events. -Corey

    Top notch dj service

    Matt and his crew are TOP notch! Throughout the entire wedding planning process, he was quick to respond which is something I didn't know I NEEDED in a wedding vendor until COVID hit and some vendors didn't respond for weeks. But not Matt! He is extremely responsive and was diligent in making sure he provided the best experience for you and your guests. Matt and my groom held secret meetings so they could plan a surprise gift (my groom serenading me into our first dance) and it was executed flawlessly! Matt provided amp hookups for the surprise and also a keyboard for our pianist to play during the ceremony, as well as all the sound system for our officiant. Our wedding was almost a month ago and we are still receiving compliments for the service he provided, as he caters to all populations! Our reception ended at midnight, yet we still had a crowd of guests begging him to continue DJing into the night (or at least until we had to leave the venue). We HIGHLY recommend Riptide Productions for your event, you will not be disappointed!!

    RipTide Productions's reply:

    Nikki, you are far too kind. Thank you. Words cannot express our gratitude to you all for having us. We had the time of our lives at your reception and are still overjoyed with the fun we had. Thank you for choosing us. Thank you for your amazing review. Thank you for being such a kind and compassionate human being. We wish you and Andrew all of the best with everything you two will conquer together in life. Cheers!

    Easiest Vendor

    This was the easiest vendor we dealt with for our entire wedding. From the prompt responses, easy to understandable questionnaire, to easy payment methods.

    Matt was an amazing DJ and made our special day go by smooth and without any worry! Throughout the wedding planning process he was very responsive and also had a pre-wedding layout that you can go through and make planning easier! On our wedding day he was absolutely perfect! From our ceremony music to our super fun reception that all our guests keep telling us was the most fun they have had in a long time!
    Thank you for making our day a dream and one heck of a way to remember!!!

    The very best!

    My DJ was Dan Miller, with Riptide productions, and man he was great! He uses a live online planner, that made the process soooo easy, any time I wanted to change or add something, I just used the planner, and didn't have to send Dan a thousand messages. Which even if I had, i'm 100% certain he would have responded, cause he answered me any other time I did actually have to contact him. He was very personable with my and my husband as well as interacting with our guests. He helped keep us on time, and communicated with my photographer very well to keep everything running smoothly!

    RipTide Productions's reply:

    Thanks, Jessica! Dan is an amazing DJ and we can't thank you enough. Your kind words motivate us to excel and continue providing top-notch service. We hope you all have stayed healthy throughout the year. Our apologies for the delayed response. Thanks again! You all rock! Cheers to 100 more years together!

    Thank you so much! I truly appreciate that. You have amazing family and friends. Your son is so adorable. I had so much fun with everyone. No joke. I laughed so much that night. The memories are priceless. Thanks again! Keep in touch!
