Louis Pettinelli Entertainment was an absolute dream to work with. I thought that a live band for our wedding would be out of our reach, but LPE was so easy to work with and what an incredible value! Our band, LPE Snapshot was incredible and our ceremony musicians were amazing too! The vocalists were high energy and kept the whole event moving. They were great Emcess and they even added some special non-traditional reception activities for us. They were super flexible and played all the songs we asked for- even some very “niche” tracks we asked for during the ceremony. So many of my guests said the band was their favorite part of the reception. I highly recommend LPE entertainment! (I am also a musician myself so I’m very picky!)

Dream Day Charleston helped us facilitate the ultimate wedding day and (most importantly) dance party of our dreams! They made the planning process super smooth and easy. I highly recommend utilizing their planning portal as it helped us think through how we wanted our day to go down to every last detail (some of which we would have likely not thought of ourselves!) We worked with DJ Golden & DJ Jayson, both of which went above and beyond to make our vision come to life! Jayson kept the dance floor full all night--we had multiple people say to us that this was one of the most fun weddings they had ever attended. We also went with the up lighting package which I would also highly recommend!! 10/10, Best DJs in Charleston!

Where do we even begin? Taylor, our DJ, didn't just meet our expectations, he absolutely obliterated them! He flew all the way from Charleston to Cabo for our wedding, and even when his nearest airport was shut down due to a snowstorm, he found a way to get to us. That level of dedication is simply unmatched. But it wasn't just his commitment that blew us away. From the moment he started, the energy was electric. Taylor's emcee skills are top-tier. He was hilarious, engaging, and kept the party going all night long. He even hosted an epic twerk-off contest, letting us, the bride and groom, crown the winners – it was a highlight of the night! What truly sets Taylor apart is his ability to handle anything that came his way with grace and positivity. Weddings are unpredictable, and Taylor navigated every unforeseen moment with a smile and a solution. He seamlessly managed the flow of the evening, ensuring everything ran smoothly and the dance floor was always packed. More than just a DJ, Taylor has become a dear friend. We now wish he could emcee and DJ every event we host! If you're looking for someone who can elevate your event beyond your wildest dreams, Taylor is your guy. He knows how to keep the vibes way above expectations, and we can't recommend him highly enough. Thank you, Taylor, for making our wedding an unforgettable celebration!

The harpist and violinist were absolutely incredible — truly one of the most magical parts of our entire wedding day. My husband and I were completely in awe, and our guests couldn’t stop talking about how beautiful and cinematic the music was. It felt like something straight out of a movie, especially with the stunning ambiance of our ceremony location. From the very beginning, the process of choosing music through the company’s website was seamless. There were so many amazing song options to pick from, and we were so happy with our final selections. Hearing them come to life — especially on violin and harp — was beyond words. The musicians played so eloquently and gracefully, and their talent was unmatched. The music added a romantic, emotional, and elegant touch that elevated everything to a whole new level. Communication with the company was excellent. They were quick to respond, always friendly and accommodating, and remained professional and patient — even when unexpected weather challenges came up on the day of the wedding. They were flexible, understanding, and worked with us to make sure everything went smoothly. The quality of the performance was truly a 10 out of 10. Guests were completely blown away, and many told us how unforgettable and moving the ceremony music was. The transitions between songs were smooth and perfectly timed. I would 100% recommend this company to any couple looking to add something special to their ceremony. They are incredibly talented, professional, punctual, and just a dream to work with. We’re so grateful to have had them be part of our big day — they helped make it feel absolutely magical.
