"We can not say enough good things about Pete! He is very knowledgeable and has many years of experience. We hired him as our wedding DJ, but he is a one stop shop, we were able to get our uplighting, Photo Booth, and outdoor music from him as well. He is so organized and makes the entire process run so smooth. He played exactly what we requested and was able to match our personalities with his performance. The photo booth he provides is amazing, and was a huge hit at our wedding! We were kind of difficult customers as we needed him to put together a few "Greek mixes" and he was able to do it with out an issue! Everything was awesome, I would recommend Pete's services to anyone! Thanks SO much for making our night so memorable! "
