Encore Entertainment & Ultrax Disc Jockeys

I would highly recommend.

several vendors, and Encore/Ultrax (Mark Klatskin) was the most responsive and knowledgeable. He recommended me to add the water vapor cloud and the photo booth, and put together a package for me that made sense financially. While this was the last vendor I chose, Mark and his photo booth attendants (2) made such a major difference on the look of the venue and the vibe of the first dance, and warmly helped the guests with the photo booth. The photo booth also took videos of guests saying congratulations. I was given a copy of each strip, as well as a flash drive with all videos and photos. I had the photo booth for the entire time (1 hr cocktail hour + 4 hr reception). Looking back, I think 2-3 hour at the end of the reception is more than enough, but it might not save you much because the main thing is them coming out. BTW when they come out to do the cloud, they are willing to do it a couple of times so your guests can enjoy stepping on the cloud, too, which was nice. I wish I had more of my guests coming out to the dance floor and the cloud. My dress was pushing all the water vapor away, so if you have a lot of twirls and pick-ups in your first dance, your picture can look a little sparse. You can't help it, it's water vapor, it will drift away with wind. Just something to note. *** the knot is not allowing me to add photos here, please see my review on weddingwire for this vendor for photos

y but we opted out of that). It was definitely a plus that I could go to 1 company for all of these things. Steven, our photographer - 10/10. Steven called us about 2 weeks before our wedding and we talked a bit about what we wanted. He arrived the day of towards the end of all the women getting ready (about 1:00 PM) and stayed until the wedding was over at 11:00. I had several photo inspirations that I wanted to do and he made sure to do all of them. We asked for photos with each table and he made sure to schedule that during downtime. He was mindful of our parents and what their needs were. He worked with the venue to change our first look location, so his professional opinion played a factor as well. He had tremendous equipment and used all of it. He made sure to help pose us appropriately and made sure we looked our best. He also was really sweet and helped make our day so special. Cannot wait to see the final products! Our DJ (sorry, I don't remember his name) - 15/10. He was so fun!! Got the party started and kept it going right to the very end. Got everybody on the dance floor - even the older folks! We had a carefully curated music set list (music is very important to the two of us) and it was followed to a T. We wanted pop-punk emo music as well as booty shaking music and had a specific list of No's - everything was followed. It was a smaller wedding so the DJ came out onto the dance floor to dance with us, sing with us, and even dance battled my brother! He was incredible and so fun. He was so impressive. Photo booth - 10/10. Great selection of props for the photos. Helped manage everybody and the equipment. Our photo strip book came out so good and I'm so happy we went with a photo booth. Our MC, Mark Klatskin - 20/10. Mark was our MC for the night but he was also our point person in our planning process. Early on when we were choosing an entertainment company, Mark was on the phone with my (now) husband and me for 2 hours explaining the entire process and how the night will go. When we chose him, we had filled out paperwork to help the planning process and a details meeting was schedule a few weeks before the wedding. Mark made sure to give his professional opinion but also respected if we didn't go with it. He made sure we had tons of contact information for him (phone numbers, email addresses). He helped the night go smoothly. Also, he knows the venue very well and that was definitely a plus. Overall, we are so happy that we chose this company. They helped make our day so special. Great choice on our part - great company on theirs.

in mind. We were so lucky to work with him to make our dream wedding come true!!
