We LOVE DJ Big Ben! Our guests could not stop talking about how much fun our wedding was and how they had such a great time on the dance floor. Ben made planning an absolute breeze. We really had no idea what to expect or how to plan for our music and Ben was so great as he walked us through the process. He really cares about his clients and ensures your perfect day will be perfect. The best part about it was that he really read our crowd and played the best songs ever. We had an absolute blast! -Diane C.

We booked John with Power Play Entertainment for our wedding and are extremely happy we did. We did a lot of research into DJs during the planning process as we knew it was an important role and could mean the difference between a fun wedding and an awkward one. From the moment we talked to John on our initial call, we knew he was the right fit for us. Aside from reception music, John covered music at the ceremony and cocktail hour, microphones and sound for us and our officiant, lighting for our reception, and a custom monogram that turned out amazing. We had a few special requests from our processional song, to passing out glow sticks and other favors, to having a surprise musical guest for the father daughter dance and all were managed great by John. John brought along Guy as his assistant/our second DJ and he was amazing as well. Both were ready to make sure we had everything we needed for the entire day and were professional with how they handled everything. At the end of the day, John kept everything going smoothly from the ceremony to the reception, he was a great emcee, played everything we wanted to hear, and most importantly he kept everyone dancing all night long. John does everything he can to ensure he can serve you how you want on your special day. I would highly recommend John, Guy, and Power Play Entertainment as a whole.

When my husband and I started our wedding planning journey, we wanted to find a DJ that would be able to play music form both my culture (Haitian) and my husbands (Puerto Rican). During my search, his business popped up on IG. I went through his IG profile and knew he was the one I wanted. I sent his profile to my husband and he sold. What also sold us was all the extra services he had! Everything all in one place. In all I booked the sparklers, smoke machine, 360 Photo Booth, an Emcee, and gobo lights. My first dance, OMG. Guests are sending me videos they took. Being in the experience was one thing. Watching the videos, I couldn’t stop crying at how beautiful it turned out. The smoke machine and sparklers just brought everything together. Everyone RAVED about the 360 booth. And the MUSIC. We didnt stop moving all night. I got so many phone calls that week about how great the music was, how sore people were from dancing all night lol. We had a diverse group of people and he was able to reach everyone. Soooo glad IG was listening lol. Thank you so much DJ Jeanyo!

Absolutely thrilled with Luv’d Up! From the moment the music started until the last song of the night, the dance floor was packed with guests dancing non-stop. There were more people on their feet than sitting, which speaks volumes about the energy and vibe that Gemma brought to the wedding. We received so many compliments from our guests on the music selection, the smooth transitions, and how she kept the party going all night long. Additionally, the Photo Booth was a huge hit!

Ralph was the best vendor I have ever worked with for a Photo Booth. He was communicative, professional and timely in his responses. I fell ill just before the event and he upped his communication to make sure I could rest easy that the event would go well. It was an outdyevent so I provided him with a pop up canopy for shade. He came prepared as the event was poolside and he managed selfies even for patrons who had been in the pool. I was given a chance to choose the background and song for the selfies and he was timely in providing the samples prior to the event. Money well spent and I would not hesitate to use his services again!

Hiring DJ Jon Don Myers was the best wedding decision we could have made!! He was amazing. I have been to 30 weddings and usually during the ceremony, the mic equipment gives out or there's so much static but not with DJ Jon Don Myers! Everything was flawless for the whole day and his equipment is top notch! He knew how much music means to us and he really curated the perfect playlist and there was always someone on the dancefloor at all times! I would 100% recommend hiring him for any occasion!

We won the lottery with the pure talent of Elliot on our wedding day! Our wedding was small & intimate as we were coming out of covid times and it was the 1st extended family gathering (had we had a bigger venue and wedding overall we would have hired the entire band but we threw our wedding together in a few short months). Elliot was super easy to work with and offered a wide range of selections for what we needed/wanted. Elliot performed for our ceremony and not only nailed the songs we selected together but also perfected the volume for the space as it wasn’t a traditional ballroom but a loft. He was also very cool about our 2 year old commandeering his equipment after the ceremony ;) If you want the BEST, it is a no brainer to go with Skyline Lights for complete perfection on your wedding day.

DJ Big George was fabulous - he kept the music flowing smoothly and read the crowd perfectly, even though I didn't provide a detailed playlist. JP the photographer was fantastic! Had a great personality and always there to capture the important moments, like when my dress broke right before the ceremony and he offered tools to help the girls fix it!

Hi! We're Rachel & Ty. We're grade school sweethearts who love performing all your fave throwbacks, sing-alongs, and feel-good jams. Live music is the easiest way to make your special day feel more like YOU. So if you want to walk down the aisle to something a little less traditional, we got you.

We have been performing over the last 7 years and have established an extensive repertoire. Choose songs from our song menu, let us know the vibe, or we can do our thing and play a fun mix.

I started following Rachel and Ty on instagram, always impressed by their cover song videos and reached out about having them for my wedding ceremony music and cocktail hour music. I was so extremely impressed by Rachel's professional communication, while feeling like she was a close friend, doing whatever was necessary to plan the perfect musical match for us! Rachel and Ty went above and beyond with our requests, while we were also surprised at how many of the songs we loved were already on their vast song list. I couldn't recommend them more, as they ended up being the perfect addition to our day. They set the mood for our ceremony with instrumentals, and a bit of Rachel's vocals for my walk down the aisle. Then, a fun cocktail hour of rock songs, great stage presence, and their own version of our first dance. Don't hesitate to book this duo! Our guests loved them.
