Black Tie Entertainment

Black Tie Entertainment was absolutely amazing from the initial contact. Robert was always quick to respond and helped organize everything to make the ceremony and reception run smoothly. More importantly, he made the party so memorable for us and our guests. After the wedding so many people told us it was the most fun wedding they had ever attended - that was all thanks to Robert and Black Tie Entertainment! If you are looking for a professional DJ in the Southwest FL area I would highly recommend Black Tie, you won't be disappointed!!

Black Tie Entertainment was one of the best investments for our wedding. From the very beginning the owner, Robert, was very professional, accommodating and responsive to my questions and needs. The interactive website made it easy to organize the flow of the night and assured me that the music being played would represent my husband and I as we had wished it would. Beyond the planning process, Robert was extremely flexible with the room set up (since we ended up having more people that anticipated, which made it tight) and made sure that I was happy. Throughout the night, he read the crowd well and played music that everyone loved and made sure the traditional night events were going according to schedule. I would and have recommended Black Tie Entertainment to anyone planning a night that don't want to ever forget!

Rob was the dj for our wedding reception and he did a great job. He was very professional and discreet, kept an eye on the timing and made sure we stayed on track with all the little events (dances, cake cutting) that needed to take place, but otherwise was reserved and kept a low profile (since we didn’t want our dj to be very chatty or leading lots of group activities or anything like that). I had made some unusual requests for music that were not on their online database for our first dance song, introductions and cake cutting – he got all of them for us and only played music we had requested (they provide an ample number of requests - “must plays”, “if possible”, etc.. as well as forms indicating what you want to happen at different moments. Basically, Black Tie did everything we asked to the letter and there is very little I would have done differently. I only wish it could have lasted longer. Those five hours went by fast!

Rob from Black Tie Entertainment MADE our wedding!!! no one left the dance floor the whole night. what a good time everyone had.Thank you Robert for making our wedding truly memorable!!!

He was absolutly amazing!!! He catered to our every need in every way. He had the party going all the way up until the last min. and no one wanted to stop. I have heard nothing but amazing reveiws about our wedding and it is owed alot to Josh and how amazing he was!!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!THANK YOU!!!

WARNING: If you hire Blacktie Entertainment you are going to have one heck of a good time! Our guests were so impressed with Black Tie's services and what makes it better was that the dj provided props that most of our guests never seen before at weddings. Everyone had so much fun with the blow up guitars and mics, then we had the moroccas and hawaiian lays for the congo line! They also provided uplighting for us throughout the venue that added a touch of elegance. It was good times! Mike was awesome and on top of everything! He was very helpful through out the process and got back to me very quickly if I had any questions. I would definilty recommend Black Tie to any future brides and grooms that want their wedding day to be fun and memorable!

Josh from Black Tie Entertainment was the perfect DJ for our wedding. Us and our guests never left the dance floor the whole night. Josh did a great job reading the crowd and playing the the right music, especially his rendition of Dirty Bit - we loved it! We would highly recommend Black Tie and Josh.

I can tell you honestly that DJ, Robert and his assistant at Black Tie Entertainment did a superb job of helping us make our wedding day a beautiful memory for the rest of our lives! Robert was very professional from first contact to the last dance. He met all of our special requests for additional sound requirements with speed and ease so that we didn't have to worry or think about it. During the ceremony and reception, Robert was always nearby to make sure we kept on schedule while still being flexible enough for any changes that came up. He and his assistant even played a version of a song that I had just sung to my wife a moment earlier while we cut the cake without knowing in advance what song I had performed. That was such a nice touch to that moment and reinforced why I think Black Tie Entertainment was so outstanding for our Big Day! Scott and Cynthia Grieger

All I have to say is WOW! Michael was such an awesome DJ. He made sure that my groom and I did not stress throughout the entire time. Whether we had questions about picking out music, asked a million questions, or going over how the day would work.. Michael was kind, patient, and had a genuine concern for making our wedding day special. He knew the layout of Colonial Country Club and had everything all set up. The sound system for the ceremony and the mic for the pastor was perfect and clear. The family raved about how great the music was and the variety played. They also commented on how entertaining he was. I am so thankful I was referred to Black Tie Entertainment and had Michael as our DJ.

I have know Robert and his wife for many years. I used to be Catering Director at a large hotel locally. We have worked many, many events together and he is the best. When it came time for my daughter's wedding April 9th, 2011, I knew exactly who the DJ was going to be. I called Robert right away when she got engaged to make sure the date was available as he is in such demand. Luckily it was! I executed over 1500 weddings in my career and Robert is #1. He is Professional, Handsome, always on time, his equipment is clean and organized, he not only plays music, but he MC's and basically manages the entire event from start to finish so that you don't have to worry about a thing or whats next. He knows how to read a room and know what to play when to keep things flowing smoothly. My daughter's wedding was PERFECT! There was a magic in the room, no one ever sat in their seat, they were dancing or celebrating the entire night. Rob is top notch! Thanks again for making Lindsay and Jim's Wedding a dream come true! You are the BEST!

We recently got married and had Michael Cole come and do our entire wedding from ceremony, cocktail, and reception. I can't say enough how beautiful and perfect everything was! Michael did a fantastic job and was wonderful to work with from beginning to end. He made sure we were happy and was checking in with us the whole night of the wedding. To our shock, my husband and I didn't think that many people were going to be up dancing, but with Michael's experience and awesome personality, he got everyone up dancing!! They set up the most beautiful uplighting in the room that gave it such a romantic feeling (I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IF HAVING A WEDDING/MAJOR EVENT/ OR IF YOU JUST WANT THE ROOM TO LOOK BEAUTIFUL.) All of our guests are talking about how much fun they had and probably will for a long time. This is definitely one of those things where you NEED to have Black Tie Entertainment do your event. It's worth every penny and they go above and beyond your expectations. We could'nt have pulled it off without Michael & Black Tie Ent. being there. Thank you for making our night memorable and better then I could've imagined.

Robert and his wife just did our daughter's wedding on April 2. I want to thank them for their outstanding performance. They kept the party alive from beginning to end. You truly are a people person and that’s what I loved the most about you. You were there for anything and everything…that’s excellent customer service. In addition to the wonderful memories captured through music for those special moments of the newly weds, one of my very “favorite” most memorable moments was when you asked everyone to stand up and join together for “We are Family” that just hit me right in my heart given that often at times people are just divided because of whatever is going on in their life but if there was anyone in that frame of mind; you brought them together …mission accomplished! Again, thank you, for all the fun, joy and laughter you’ve brought to our lives. You are the BEST DJ out there! Love, Carmen & Bill Corbett

Our wedding was on 03/26/2011 and we used Black Tie Entertainment , Josh was our DJ for the wedding. Josh did a great job and everybody danced all night , the lighting was awesome (use the LED uplighting) it changes he entire feel of the room in a great way. Josh was always making sure that everybody was having a good time and enjoying the music and knew exactly how to get the party going. I would recommend him and black tie to anyone any day. Thanks Josh

My DJ was absolutely wonderful! He had everyone dancing! And found the specific version of my wedding song. He was a lot of fun and very professional. Great Job!

I want to start out by saying sorry to DJ Joshua for not posting this sooner. We used Black Tie for our wedding March 5 and the experience was nothing short of extraordinary. One of my main concerns with our group of people was making sure everyone was in their seats and eating their meals since we did plated and that afterwards everyone was on the dance floor. Josh and his assistant Kelly were excellent at not only Djing the event but basically emceeing everything and making sure that the whole wedding ran smooth from start to finish. The lighting looked fantastic and the music was everything that we asked for and more. I couldn't imagine doing the whole thing over again without them and neither should you. If you are looking for a great DJ/Emcee for your wedding and want everyone to have a great time, look no further and put your trust in Blacktie and more specifically, Dj Joshua. They might not be the cheapest but is a couple bucks worth the risk of not having the best day possible, I think not. I have nothing else to say but, Thanks again...

The best simply put! Would recommend to everyone. The guys did a fantastic job. Did everything and more. Rob was great!

Rob with Black Tie Entertainment was great! Not only did he "complete" the look of the venue with their great uplighting he did an amazing job as MC/DJ! He had people on the floor ALL night dancing! He came highly recommended by many in the wedding industry! And now we can see why. If you are looking for a DJ to make your wedding a blast and still classy he's your man! Thanks Rob!

Rob and his assistant was amazing! I am a professional wedding photographer (www.butterflykissphotos.com) and I have worked with him and his team a few times before. I got married on January 29, 2011 and I knew I wanted him and no one else to DJ my wedding ceremony and reception. I knew I wanted to choose black tie entertainment for their professionalism, quality of equipment and lighting, and most importantly, they can throw a party! All wedding receptions I have worked with him, the dance floor is always full. Now my personal wedding was fantastic and a blast, I did not want the night to end. The dance floor was entirely full the entire time. Great variety of music for everyone and of all ages. I always recommend him to my brides! Also he offers a wide variety of packages and lighting. We also added blue up lighting and a monogram gobo light that went around on the dance floor and walls and they were perfect.

Black Tie Entertainment was highly recommended to me by photographers and former brides. After my experience at Black Tie at my wedding, I would without a doubt recommend them as well. We worked with Robert Dilallo as the DJ for our wedding. He ensured everything ran smoothly by contacting us prior to the wedding to make sure we were on the same page of what we wanted and then during the wedding he kept in constant contact with us to let us know what was going on and if we were doing ok or had any concerns. Robert did everything in his power to get people on the dance floor and the night was flawless. I also have a medical condition and Robert was constantly checking on me to make sure I was physically ok which was a blessing. It was nice to have that personal touch. A DJ can really make or break a wedding and I had so many compliments about Black Tie Entertainment from our guests. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!Christine Portnoy-Killen

Joshua from Black Tie was our DJ, but he also did our ceremony music and A/V, since we did an outdoor ceremony on a lawn with no power/sound equipment. Everything really was perfect - the ceremony music and sound from the microphones was all flawless and they had everything set up early, including doing sound-checks with our officiant and a friend that sang during the ceremony - I really hate it when you're at an outdoor wedding and you can't hear the music or what's going on in the ceremony, so I was SO glad Black Tie did such a great job and just nailed everything for the ceremony. They were also fantastic at the reception and really kept the party going - I gave a little less than 5 for flexibility because they were very firm in their opinions about what should happen when in the party and/or how things should go, which seemed inflexible at first - but ultimately I was really glad we trusted their expertise and went with Joshua's recommendations, as the party was a great success and everyone, including us, had an amazing time. He really rolled with things in the course of the night, even busting out the traditional Jewish chair-dance song when one of the groomsman decided we needed to be hoisted on chairs at the spur of the moment! The event lighting was really cool too - both the laser light show thing included in our package and the purple uplighting we had them do - it really changed the look of the room and made it look like an elegant fantasy land at the beginning and evolving into more of a dance-club look later in the night. My husband and I really wanted to enjoy our wedding and with Joshua we were able to do exactly that - he played a great mixture of our "must-play" and requested songs and others that would get our guests out there with us, and we danced the night away with each other and our family and friends and could not have been happier with the service and style of Black Tie Entertainment! I've had several guests ask me who the company is and say what a great time they had, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Black Tie to anyone!
