ANDREW M | STUDIO DISC JOCKEY“Andrew was very professional and a lot of fun. Talking with him before the event put me at ease. He was very knowledgable, took good notes during our conversation, brought ideas to the table, and listened to what I wanted at the wedding. At the wedding, Andrew did a great job of communicating with my husband and me as well as the staff at the venue to make sure the ceremony, the dinner, and the dance flowed smoothly.”

STEVE L | ASSOCIATE DISC JOCKEY“Our DJ, Steve Ly, was fantastic to work with! His communication and planning leading up to the event was excellent which allowed him to tailor the experience to meet our preferences exactly. He was very pro-fessional and didn’t miss a detail. Most importantly, the dance floor was packed all night! Couldn’t have asked for more from Steve and the DJ experience through Bellagala!”

AARON E | STUDIO DISC JOCKEY“We were so impressed with Aaron E. He was incredible. He went above and beyond to make our day absolutely perfect. He was knowl-edgeable, professional, friendly, fun, organized, and left no detail overlooked. Our guests were raving about him! He was a perfect fit.”

ERICA B | STUDIO DISC JOCKEY“We were so pleased with Erica’s work. She was so sweet and did a great job connecting with us before the wedding to make sure she understood what our hopes were for the evening. She got our guests on their feet and cheering before our grand entrance, and made us feel like rock stars on our special day. This was just the beginning of a fantastic night. She also checked-in with us throughout the night to make sure we were happy, and we definitely were. Thanks to Erica, and Bellagala, we had a magical event.”
