Black Tie Entertainment

Black Tie was awesome from planning through execution, and the pricing was very reasonable. Robert was a great DJ, and kept the party going even with a small amount of dancers in the croud! Highly recommended. A++

Mike was wonderful to work with! He was always available by phone and answered emails quickly! Since we are out of town he made himself available by phone for several phone calls! He helped us narrow down song selections and he really understand the vibe we were going for.
We got wonderful compliments from guests about the great music selections he picked. He had everyone dancing all night long!

Neal from Black Tie was our DJ, and he did an amazing job. Not only did he take care of everything we requested, but he also had great suggestions of songs when we were stuck in our planning. We had requested no organized dance songs so he came to us when people were requesting songs that were in that vein but not offensive. We trusted his opinion and am glad we did! He only played what he knew would get people dancing. It was such a fun night thanks to him.

I cannot recommend this DJ company enough. They were recommended by a friend and we are so glad for the recommendation! We had Robert DJ our wedding with a party motivator and it was amazing – I still have guests telling me how fun our wedding was, that it was the best, most fun wedding they’ve ever been to! One guest said that ours was the only wedding they’d attended where every single person was dancing – and I echo that statement!

Black Tie Entertainment is truly great and the experience is unforgettable. Robert Dilallo is a terrific entertainer and I have been to several weddings that he has been a DJ at and just had to have him at mine as well. So glad we did, he did a fantastic job and everyone had an amazing time...Definietly worth the Price!

Rob was amazing. He really got the crowd up and moving and having a good time. He even came out on the floor and got people to participate. Well worth the money. Everyone had a fun time.

Mike Cole was our DJ and he handled the event like a DJ should handle it. He was thoughtful, he made sure that our happiness was paramount and he was very flexible on anything we spoke about. I highly recommend Black Tie for anyone else.

I am so happy that my husband and I used Black Tie Entertainment! From the very beginning they were a dream to work with. I LOVE music and had such a hard time nailing down music for certain parts of the wedding. Max was our DJ and did an amazing job working with me and my indecisiveness! The online music request sheets made it easy to get information to Max. During the wedding the music was always perfect. Max was so receptive to what the "crowd" wanted to hear. Black Tie also provided uplighting and dance floor lighting for the reception that was perfect! It really added something extra to the room and created a great vibe. My husband loved that Max took requests from the guests. Thank you Black Tie!

He worked with our music selections! We had no problems with our songs. Great Dj!!

Very professional service!! Mike was on time and provided quality DJ service the entire evening!

Blacktie provided both the music & sound system for our ceremony as well as the reception. We worked with Mike Cole prior to the wedding for music selection and timeline of the ceremony & reception. He was also the DJ for the reception. All I have to say is FABULOUS from start to finish!!!!!! Every aspect of our event was perfect. Mike was a pleasure to work with and felt more like a part of our friends/family from the day we met him through the entire reception. I had so many friends & family members comment on Mike and what an excellect job he did. We have latin family and he did an outstanding job of mixing a variety of music for everyone there and kept everyone on the dance floor. Don't even think twice - BLACKTIE is the way to go!!!!! I will use them for every future event in our family!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My fiancee and I had our reception at the Charlotte Harbor Event Center this past saturday. The entertainment was a very important part of our festivities to us and we wanted the best and thats what we got from Robert. He had the dance floor packed all night long! He has amazing attention to detail, right before we were all set to be announced there was a power loss at the venue. He managed that situation perfectly, and our entrance was amazing. Robert made the night flow perfectly and all our guests were raving about the great time they had. I could go on and on about Robert but were off on a 7 day cruise, but this is the review I had to write before we left. Robert thanks for an amazing time and feel free to use me as a reference!

Robert Diallo was the DJ at our daughter's wedding. He showed a lot of professionalism and was able to deliver on all that was planned for the evening.
He kept it lively and since the wedding we have had countless guests tell us how much fun they had. I would highly recommend him for your next party.

Rob was my DJ the night of the wedding but I also worked with Mike throughout the process. They were both incredibly helpful and made our night so perfect. Everything we could ever want from a dj that night, they provided. They had the sound system for the ceremony which made it beyond perfect and they also had uplights that added that extra touch that made the reception incredible. Anything we needed before the wedding or any questions we had, they helped us. The day of, it couldn't have gone off any better. Absolutely worth every penny!

Robert Dilallo was our DJ for our wedding and he was phenomenal! He was in touch before the wedding via his website which contains a very organized event planning process. He then called to follow up a few nights before the wedding. Actually being able to go over everything with him ahead of time was very reassuring. All of this planning meant I was able to socialize with guests (some of which was my family that I only see twice per year) and enjoy the night because he made everything run so smoothly. Robert also got everyone up and dancing right after dinner and we didn't stop! He has great taste in music and knows what to play and when. He really has a good feel for when he needs to play different kinds of songs and he is very interactive with the crowd. Robert was wonderful and we are so glad he was our DJ.

DJ Max and Black Tie Entertainment were professional and extremely organized. We could have not have had such an amazing day without Black Tie. The music was awesome and the dance floor was never empty. Black Tie was punctual in their response and planning to all of our requests.

Black tie entertainment is by far the best dj company we came across. They made my wedding phenomenal! Our dj was Neal, and he did an outstanding job on every little detail I requested from him. He kept the party going and got everyone on the dance floor. I would highly recommend Neal for any party event! Thank you for making my wedding day amazing!!

Mark Diamond was our DJ at our wedding. We were beyond thrilled with our choice to go with Black Tie Entertainment. He made me feel like such a priority and was very flexible, which was important because we are from out of town. Every song we requested was played and he even got the correct versions of well known songs that we wanted (we wanted lesser known versions played). Mark kept the dance floor packed and had a very keen intuition on what our guests would like to hear. We know that a DJ can make or break a wedding and Mark definitely made our night one we will never forget! Thank you!

We chose Black Tie for our wedding after many positive recommendations. We had Robert as our DJ and were very happy with him. He was definitely experienced and very professional. We highly recommend him and would definitively use their services again!

I used BTE and Max (Mark Diamond) was my DJ. I was very pleased with the professionalism and style he brought to our wedding. He provide the mic and music for my outdoor ceremony and it was perfect, everyone heard my minister even during the times the wind picked up. My husband and I are very religious and he was sensitive to our beliefs but still managed to play fun clean music. Thank you for your hard work!

Mike Cole was our d.j. for wedding reception nov. 10, 2012. He did a great job and provided us with any entertainment services needed. Mics, and music for ceremony, uplights for reception. Played different blends of music and kept people dancing all night as well as entertaining when annoucing our itinerary for the evening. Very professional . Thanks mike for such a fun night. Mrs. Akin

Everything was terrific. They were easy to work with and very professional. Everyone had a great time!!

Neil and Julie did an amazing job at our wedding! We had friends and family, of all ages, on the dance floor all night. Everyone loved the variety of great music and entertainment! Rob was also extremely helpful and pleasant to work with. Thank you so much, Black Tie Entertainment, for helping make our wedding a memorable one! We had a great time.

Jaime & Timmy

Mike and the entire Team at Black Tie did and incredible job. I strongly recommend them. They kept of great tempo on the different events, along with a perfect selection of music that kept our guests dancing till the very end of the evening. Always ensuring that the sound level was perfect and the crowd was having an excellent time.

Kind regards,
Mick (Groom)

A cardinal rule at a wedding is if the DJ isn't good, it can ruin even the most fabulous wedding. Rob from black tie is as good as it gets. He keeps the dance floor packed all night and works with the bride and groom to ensure that they are completely satisfied at all times.

When I got engaged, Rob was the second call I made once I had my date and my photographer. He is very professional and truly goes above and beyond. Rob even came up to my husband and I during our reception while we were talking to our guests to let us know our food had been served! No way just any DJ would do that! Don't hesitate to book black tie entertainment, hands down the best in the area!

Max Weinberg of Black Tie Entertainment was awesome! He and his partner had our beach ceremony, beach cocktail hour and follow-on dinner and reception running smoothly from the start and throughout the entire evening. Even better, Max and his staff made planning our wedding even easier, as my wife and I live in the Washington, DC area and were doing a destination wedding in the Ft. Myers, FL area. I gave Max complete flexibility: I asked only for our 1st dance song to be played, and then gave him and his team free reign to keep the events and dances going duirng the reception, and to keep everyone happy. Again, Max took full advantage of the musical leeway I asked for, and he played all the right music at the right time. Full endorsement of his services, and would recommend him to anyone who asks.

Black Tie was outstanding! My sister and I both used Black Tie for our weddings and Robert was the DJ. He is awesome! He always had a way of keeping the crowd entertained and he had everyone up and dancing throughout the entire reception. I recommend him to everyone! They are great! Thank you Black Tie and especially Robert for helping make our wedding perfect!

Rob was AMAZING!! He kept the dance floor packed all night! He was extremely professional an FUN!!

This was the 2nd time we've used BTE (first was for my wedding 5 years ago). Black Tie Entertainment did a fantastic job providing us entertainment. They were very flexible through the process, very professional, and extremely politie. They treated me as if it were an event for one of there family members. The music selection and sound quality was AWESOME!...not to mention the projection monitor they provided us for the video collage. I would HIGHLY recommend Black Tie Entertainment for any event and will DEFINATLEY be using them again! Thank you BTE for another amazing night!

Black Tie Entertainment and our DJ Rob went above and beyond for our wedding. Aside from Rob's DJ responsibility, he was an enormous help in keeping everything on schedule and running smoothly after our wedding coordinator had left. We can't thank you enough for going the extra mile and making our wedding absolutely perfect. We would recommend Rob and Black Tie Entertainment to anyone.

Thanks again for everything,
Nate and Ana Smiley

If you want a perfect wedding, it has to include Black Tie!!! Robert Is awesome! It wouldn't have been the same without him!

Robert from Black Tie is simply the best DJ . I always knew since the first wedding I attended that when my daughter got married he would be the DJ at her wedding , From the beginning, he was just first class all the way . He guided us through it all . he did out ceremony and calmed me (the mother of the bride ) when I was over the top nervous .. he told me don't worry I got this ... And he sure did , My daughters first dance was done in the clouds and it was just simply BREATH-TAKING , the up lighting added the extra touch that put the room and all the beautiful decorations over the top . he kept the dance floor packed from the beginning to the end and had the croud wanting more .. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH for making my daughter's dream wedding perfect :-)
Thank you ,

I have never danced so much in my life! Max was the best DJ! He was dressed to the nines (very professional!) and he kept the party going! Everyone told me how much they loved the music! In fact, a lot of my guests told me it was the most fun wedding they had attended in a long time. I highly recommend Black Tie Entertainment for their helpfulness and their professionalism (plus the great music selection!).

Michael Cole with Black Tie entertainment did an excellent job for my daughter’s wedding reception. From the ‘introductions’ to the bride and groom ‘send off’, he was wonderful. More than just a DJ, he kept the party moving. Our guest had such a great time, the dance floor was always busy! I highly recommend Michael, the quality of his service was priceless.

Our wedding was a destination get-away. We are from Michigan and decided to get married in sunny Florida where we got engaged. We had about 75 guests join us for our special day. When I first spoke with Rob from Black Tie Entertainment, I knew he would be the perfect fit for our DJ/MC. He was so wonderful and had no problems working with our last minute details and laid back lifestyle. He had great suggestions and was so helpful and organized. Mind you, almost everything was done via phone conversations due to a crashed computer and no smart phone. Finally, on the big day, Rob was set up and ready to go. He rocked the house from 6pm to 11pm. There was never a dull moment. We truely had the time of our lives. Thank you so much to Rob, his son and the rest of the staff for making our wedding day an EPIC event. We will never forget you!!!!
Many Thanks
Bruce and Shayne Lemmon

Black Tie was recommended by my venue, and Mike DJed our event. I was certainly not let down at all! He kept the party going and read the crown so well! We wanted mostly fast music, and when the dancing started, it didn't stop. Everyone has told us what an awesome time it was, and how they danced their faces off- and it is all because of Mike's expertise! He played all of our must-haves and there was never a dull moment where the dance floor was empty! He kept things flowing so well, and his uplighting/techno light show were a wonderful touch to the venue! If you want a great dance party, I recommend Mike and Black Tie, but I will also say whatever vibe you are looking for, he is very sensitive to it, reads the audience and helps capture the vibe very very well. Thanks again Mike!!

Robert was incredible..he kept everyone on the dance floor and made my wedding everything I had dreamed

Rob at Black Tie Entertainment is amazing! Our dance floor was packed starting during dinner until the end of the night without any lulls. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ. I am thrilled that we listened to many people when they said this company was the best and they were all correct. I always say a DJ could make or break your wedding and he made ours fabulous!!!

This is the review I have been most excited to write! I don't know what I would have done if I didn't have Black Tie, and most specifically Josh at my wedding! In planning a destination wedding communication is key, and Black Tie did a great job communicating with me and preparing a reception that was just absolutely above and beyond what I had in mind!

I have to admit that my favorite part of the whole experience was working with Josh because he kept me sooooo calm! During the reception he literally read my mind and my mood. We had been preparing certain things in a certain order, but after my sweet husband smashed cake in my face and absolutely RUINED my makeup Josh knew that he had to change the order and readjust to fit my mood. Then while I was dancing the bustle on my dress broke and Josh came right up to me and said that he was finding me safety pins to take care of it. Not even a minute later he came up to me with a whole handful! Josh played great music and interacted well with my family and my guests, he kept me calm and just made the whole reception truly delightful!

Thank you so much Black Tie...

Rob was the DJ at our wedding and he was phenomenal! He managed the flow of the reception so well and made sure things were moving and that people were constantly enjoying themselves! Prior to the wedding, Rob responded promptly to messages or emails I left. He was wonderful to work with. I highly recommend him and Black Tie Entertainment. The quality and service is impeccable!

Black Tie did an outstanding job with the music at the cermony and the reception. They played the type we requested and were very professional.

Robert was the DJ for our wedding and played music during our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. He did an absolute amazing job! He is extremely professional, responsive via e-mail and phone, and kept the music tasteful the entire night. We have received numerous compliments from our guests stating how fantastic our DJ was :) The dance floor was bumping the entire evening and we couldn't have asked for more. He also set up pink uplighting throughout the ballroom which made the room glow so beautifully! Thank you Black Tie Entertainment for making our wedding so fun! :)

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 lived up to all of our expectations for our wedding day. We worked with Michael Cole throughout our planning process. Because we were planning a destination wedding, we feel very fortunate to have found such an accommodating vendor. We only had 1 trip planned to Florida and Michael was very flexible in meeting with us and our families. The online process of selecting songs was easy-to-use and one of our favorite elements of the planning process. Michael was incredible on the day of our event-- he planned ahead with our reception coordinator, before our introductions he quickly reviewed our requests to make sure we were all on the same page, and was great in balancing the requests of our guests with what we wanted. The dance floor was packed all night- friends and family are still talking about the reception. Many thanks to Michael Cole and the Black Tie Entertainment crew! For these reasons and more, we highly recommend Black Tie Entertainment.

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!

Mike from Black Tie was an incredible DJ. His voice is soothing and what a wonderful man to work with!!!! Every single person at my wedding commented on how amazing the sound was, and they were thrilled with the song choices!! My guests were singing into their bottles on the dance floor!! We had such a beautiful wedding, and we danced the night away thanks to Black Tie!

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!!!

My wedding was held at the Resort at Tarpon Point Marina on October 8, 2011. The layout of my wedding included the ceremony being outside to the rear of the resort with the reception in a large ballroom on the second floor. My wedding was attended by approximately 85 people.

The ceremony was held at the bottom of a set of stairs that overlook the marina bay. I was a bit ocncerned that the water and outside noise would interfere with the sound/music. The entertainment company placed several speakers in the perfect locations to give superb sound and clarity, and was able to place them in locations that you really did not notice them. A microphone was also utilized for the ceremony and had no problems with the surroundings. All of the friends and family said that the could here ever word that was said (and even a blunder on my part) during the ceremony. Just prior to the ceremony I was unable to give the DJ the entrance music that my wife was wishing to have played when she began her walk. The DJ had thousands of songs and had everything on backup in case this had happened.

There was about a 20 minute time gap between the ceremony and the reception inside. During this gap, the entertainment company was able to move ALL equipment into the reception room, have the room fully setup, and have the room well soundchecked before any guests even made it to the room (no small ordeal)!!

Our DJ was Max Weinberg. Max was extremely thorough on the lead up to the wedding. We met with him on several occasions and he even printed out several pages (which included hundreds of songs) to assist us with planning what types of music we wanted. We found ourselves not knowing what to play and even where to have songs played at. On his first consultation, Max provided us with a packet that was fill in the blank style which showed the typical wedding order for music/songs. This was a perfect packet that encompassed anything that you could think of. Max made it also very apparent that it is OUR wedding and that we can change/manipulate whatever we wish and just wanted us to use the template for reference.

The template packet can easily be the only place you need to look to see how you want to plan and in what order you want things to go for the reception. It was extremely well prepared and I can not explain how easy it was with this packet in front of you. Well done!!

During the reception, Max was able to play a wide range of songs from all era's of music. He kept the the type of music close to what my wife and I wished to have and also was extremely kid friendly with the music also.

During the reception Max was always one glance away if we needed anything and was always several minutes ahead of the game and let us know when a special moment was about to occur or when a person is needed for a special moment that was happening in a couple minutes.

Max was well dressed and groomed, always had a calm and collected demeanour, and was very accommodating for any last minute changes. We could not have asked for a more perfect job done by Max Weinberg and Black Tie Entertainment. I continue to stay in contact with Max and highly recommend his services, and that of Black Tie Entertainment, to anyone in need of a DJ service. Max is without a doubt an integral part of our wedding and fond memory at the onset to our marriage. Thank you Max!!

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!

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.

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.

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!

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

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!

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

Josh was the main DJ at my wedding....He was great and so much fun! I would hire them again any day!

Rob with Black Tie Entertainment was amazing! One of my co-workers recommended him and i'm so greatful that they did. His website is easy to use and if you can't find a song he will get it for you. He has many DJ's that work for him but Rob is the best. Everyone at our wedding had such a great time. I've been to weddings where knowone dances and it's so boring. I didn't want my wedding to be like that. I don't think there was one time we didn't have people dancing, and our reception was five hours. He was upbeat and kept the party going. We had ten Cobolt Blue uplights and props for music. I wasn't sure if our guests would like the props, but everyone went nuts over them. My friend also used him and she had the fog for her first dance which is another effect he has. It was beautiful.
Overall if you don't book with Black Tie Entertainment you will be dissapointed. The packages are reasonable and you won't be sorry. We got so many compliments and I couldn't have been happier. Thanks so much Rob!!!
-Michelle Hamstra

Rob was our DJ from Black Tie entertainment and he exceeded my expectations for our wedding. First, he was always very prompt to return any email or phone call, which is very important for any bride, especially one from out of state. The week of the wedding he was in touch with me in regards to what was a must for the wedding and what we could leave out. Rob was very respectful to my likes/dislike and at the same time also suggested particular songs that are sure to get the crowd on the dance floor. He was right...the floor was packed the whole night! Rob checked in with us through the night which was nice to know that he had us in mind. He truly was an EXCELLENT and CLASSY DJ. We received a lot of compliments from guests that he was the best DJ! I would highly recommend him, we didn't want the music to stop (we did extend the night)!!

We had a great experience with BlackTie Entertainment. Mike Cole was our DJ for our wedding and reception at Fiddlesticks Country Club. He was a huge help selecting our music in adavnce and put on a great program. He planned for every contingency and we were very confident and comfortable during preperation. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ.

Hi,
Our wedding was Friday, October 1, 2010. Our reception was FABULOUS because of the services offered by Black Tie Entertainment. Our DJ was Robert Dilallo, the owner. From the get go when we began planning our wedding with Robert. Robert and his associate Michael came to our reception place, The Resort at Marina Village and walked through the ballroom with my parents, my fiance, and site event director. Both Robert and Michael were able to paint the picture of what our reception would look like with their services. We went with uplighting, music for our cocktail hour, and music for our reception, and the fog machine. The reception ROCKED. There were ALWAYS people on the dance floor. We used the fog machine for our first dance and for the father/bride dance. It was so amazing! People were in awe and really impressed. Robert and his assistant - who's name escapes me - kept the party going. Throughout the entire wedding planning and the night of the reception Robert was always attentative to our needs and concerns. He assisted us in creating and then followed our scheduled time line of events to the T. When we were approaching our final 1/2 hour of the reception he asked me personally if I wanted to continue the music or end the reception at the scheduled time. We HIGHLY and STRONGLY recommend Robert and Black Tie Entertainment for your wedding or any large event. We had so much fun and so did our guests! That was all we could hope for and ask for for our special day! Thank you Robert for making our wedding truly memorable!!!

Josh made our wedding day awesome! He had the music completely under control that I didn't even have to worry about it! The crowd never stopped dancing :) His professionalism was outstanding. I would recommend Black Tie and Josh to anyone getting married. They make it sooooo simple! :)

Black Tie Entertainment did my daughters wedding the beginning of July. Based on the wonderful time we had with Josh, I booked Black Tie for a Surprise 50th Birthday Party for my husband. Mike Cole did an outstanding job of MC'ing our event. He moved everyone to the dance floor after dinner and even came up with great songs for the games, pass the life saver & the limbo. When the celebrating was done, the gifts were open and the evening came to an end, Mike motivated everyone for the clean up. If we should have another gathering that requires a DJ, I'll definitely be looking to Black Tie to handle the music. Thanks for the wonderful memories.

Rob was great! Kevin and I danced all night with friends and family to great music. Rob was professional as well as kept it fun and exciting. We originally had plans with a different dj however we had to make a change at the last minute and Rob was there to help only a couple of weeks before our day. We appreciate all of his hard work and dedication to provide great music for an amazing wedding day. Rob has a great list of songs and makes the night by keeping the guests dancing.

WOW Robert at Blacktie is AMAZING! We live in WA and were planning our FL wedding when a week before our wedding we received a call from our DJ who was having to have emergency surgery and wasn't going to be able to do our wedding. Our DJ had contacted Rob who was luckily more than willing to help us out and what a blessing it turned out to be. Robert made our night spectacular. So many of our guests came up to us telling us how incredible the DJ was and that he made the party. Robert catered to all of our guests and got everyone up and dancing, even my Aunt and Uncle who NEVER dance were dancing away. He is creative and fun and made our reception so exciting. He helped us out so much when we were in a bind and I can't believe we didn't book him in the first place. Robert also set up a sound system to play our ceremony music and it was perfect. I can't say enough about Robert and how special he made our day! Thanks Robert!

We had the great priviledge of having Rob DJ at our wedding last weekend! Being from Ohio it was difficult for me to plan a wedding here in Fort Myers, FL without knowing anyone or having any connections with vendors. When we were "shopping" for DJs around the area, we found Black Tie Entertainment and heard nothing but positive reviews from everyone we talked to about this company. Once we booked Rob for our wedding, other vendors that I had would always ask who my DJ was and once I mentioned Rob from Black Tie Entertainment they always responsed with "he's the best in the area." Well I can tell you first hand Rob is the best in the area & made my wedding day a very memorable one. A DJ can make or break your wedding reception and deterimine if your guests have a good time. From the beginning of introductions to the last dance of the night Rob had our guests up and dancing! I never left the dance floor once! We had a crowd of mixed ages and Rob knew how to create a music selection that could target each one of them. He just didn't stand behind a table and play music he was out on the floor dancing with us and instructing those who may not know how to do a certain dance, while an assistance controlled the music. Its a great set up! I can go on forever describing all the things Rob did to keep our reception a fun time...I have nothing but great things to say about this company. The quality, responsiveness, professionalism, & value of cost was superior! Our guests had a great time & we did as the bride and groom & thank Rob for making it such a memorable night!

Couldn't have asked for a better dj! This is the one vendor that I got the most compliments on. Josh was excellent, very professional! Played everything I wanted and nothing I didn't want!

Our DJ - Robert Dilallo was awesome! Not only did he have us dancing the whole night, but he also kept in close communication with us and our other vendors during the entire evening which made the night flow smoothly and without much stress. We are not much into the organized dances like the electric slide, YMCA, chicken dance, etc. And Robert completely listened to what we wanted and did not want. No organized dances were played and we still danced the whole night (the dance floor was packed)!
Also listen to his suggestions. He recommended uplighting, which we did opt for. It was amazing! - Our entire banquet room at Tween Waters in Captiva had aqua/pool blue uplighting which made it look like we were under water (perfect for a beach wedding). Our guests kept commenting on how good the room looked and how perfect of a DJ he was all night.
We highly recommend Robert!!!

Blacktie Entertainment did a fantastic job with my wedding! All of my guests were up dancing, he played all the music I wanted to hear, kept the momentum up from the beginning until the end. I highly recommend Blacktie for your entertainment needs!!

Thanks,
Caryn

If you are looking for a professional, articulate in speech and experienced DJ then BlackTie Entertainment is a must. DJ Rusty Roepke was excellent. His choice of songs kept out guest enjoying the evening. Full of variety. Enduring the heat of a hot beach night setting. Blacktie was able to accommodate us on a very short notice and went the extra mile literally to make our wedding fabulous.

Black Tie Entertainment took care of entertainment at a recent celebration of the renewal of our wedding vows.. After the church service guests arrived at the Plantation Golf and Country Club for a cocktail reception, dinner and then entertainment. Brent was our DJ and he did a GREAT job. He was punctual, professional and very attentive to the hosts and guests. He was very engaging with party goers and we (the hosts) received great reviews.. THANKS so much for helping us to celebrate!!!!! Julie and Frank

Our daughter, Jodi was the one who hired Michael Cole because she heard so many
good things about him. It all proved to be true!! He was friendly, courteous and very flexible with any and all requests we threw at him. He kept people on the dance floor
all night....in fact we had to ask him to play an extra 1/2 hour because our guests were having too much fun! He was also reminding me (the mother of the bride) to
have a good time, relax and to keep smiling! He also told me to give my ear a little tug if the music was too loud and he would turn it down a notch. At one point
I did and he noticed immediately. Right on top of things!! Thank you Michael for
making our daughter's day a PERFECT one!!

Robert from Black Tie Entertainment helped to make our wedding the talk of the town! Everyone was up dancing from the time the music started until the last dance! Robert truly made the night a party for every age. Our night will truly be remembered by everyone thanks to Black Tie!

AMAZING!!! Mike did above and beyond what we expected. Some wedding DJs can be a bit lame and boring but these guys are anything but that!! We only had 70 people at our wedding and they kept EVERYONE dancing until the end of the night. Even a month later all of our guests are still talking about our amazing DJ. They had every song I wanted plus many more that went in line with our tastes. They organized everything in a way that made the night so easy and kept the party going. I would recommend them to anyone and everyone!! Don't hesitate, if you need a DJ in the Florida area book Black Tie Entertainment!

Mike was amazing! He worked with us and helped us out even when we didn't know what we wanted. He had so many helpful suggestions that made our day perfect. We didn't have not one complaint. We would definitely recommend Black Tie!

All I can say is Bravo... We used Black Tie and Rusty was our DJ along with his assistant Connie. They both went above and beyond for our Wedding ceremony and reception. I did not have a wedding planner and Connie stepped right in and gave us all cues on what we should do next. It was if the whole day was choreographed. They were so attentive and professional. We called for estimates on other Dj's and to be honest they were not in it for entertaining for the occasion . They were looking at the financial aspect. Our guests were on their feet dancing almost the whole time. They are still talking about the music one week later. The sound system & lighting was state of the art. The only downfall of the day was that it ended and also make sure your DJ is fed we had discussed it with our Vendor and it was overlooked. We hope to use them next year for our one Year anniversary.

When my sister got married we used a lot of the same vendors she used as well. This was one vendor that we had to look for considering the one she had was horrible!!! We got a lot of recommendation for Black Tie from the country clubs we were looking at. Let me tell you I am so glad we listened to them. Black Tie was AMAZING!!!! Robert really made our wedding come a live after dinner. He was right on it with the bridal party names when he did the announcements and great music selection. I would recommend this company to everyone. A friend of Erik and I's that came to our wedding ended up booking Black Tie because they loved them at ours!

My guest where dancing the entire time and that’s exactly what I wanted for my wedding! I provided a lists of songs for the dj and he was very accommodating and played most of them! I enjoyed my wedding and would use this DJ again in the future!

Black Tie was great. They were very responsive to our requests and highly professional. All of our guests really enjoyed themself with the music. We would recommand them to anyone looking to service there party. I like the fact they make you fill out a request form with favorite songs along with who's in the party prior to the event. And took time on knowing how to pronounce your name. That's very orginized and again professional. Most DJ get that information a few minutes before the event.

Robert was amazing; he was very responsive to our requests and highly professional. All of the guests raved about the music at our wedding, and I was told by one of the photographers that he really did a wonderful job of getting everyone out on the dance floor. It is difficult to find a great and inexpensive dj. He is the one!

We found our entire experience with Black Tie Entertainment extremely professional, courteous and customer focused at all times. Michael Cole, in particular, couldn't have done more to ensure that our special day went as smoothly and enjoyable as we could have wished for. He was very knowledgable with regard to music choice and totally unselfish with his time and free advice. Although we were only an intimate group of eighteen, Mike and his team, through their superb library of music, kept us all dancing and laughing all night long! We truly had a wonderful day and highly recommend Black Tie Entertainment for any future brides.

Robert Dilallo with Black Tie Entertainment was outstanding. I found Robert as his name was mentioned repeatedly by multiple vendors. I made it a point to ask about DJ/Entertainment because I felt that this was the one vendor that could affect the outcome of our event. I wanted someone to play the right music, be energetic and get the crowd going. From the first song to the last, our dance floor was packed. Our guests had a wonderful time.

I first met Robert (being that we had a destination wedding) about 1- 2 hours prior to the event. He was setting up and well prepared. He made some suggestions about the table set-up, which resulted in us changing the table configuration around. This was not his job, but it made sense and I was grateful. It soon became very clear that Robert knew the ropes and how to run an event. It was great. He tool control, kept things running smoothly, maintained the right cadence and was definitely high energy.

Bottom line is that much planning goes into this event. My “now” wife and I were frazzled and you JUST want things to go perfectly. Everyone told us how beautiful and fun our wedding/reception was … music to our ears.

Robert thanks for everything! We appreciated you and your service!! If you come out to Colorado sent me an email.

Black Tie Entertainment was very professional and organized. They did our ceremony and reception. The music was exactly as I asked. We wanted a FUN reception that had everyone on the dancefloor. He more than fulfilled that request. He was the best! Well worth the expense! We chose to have extra lighting with made the room look beautiful and it was amazing!

Michael Cole with black tie was our wedding dj and did a wonderful job. He had a great song list and really listened to what we wanted. His team did a great job mixing the different genres of music and keeping our guests dancing. Michael even led us in a few line dances when we couldn't remember the steps. We had an awesome reception and many thanks goes to Michael and his team!

We had Black Tie Ent for our wedding in September in Naples. They (Mike Cole) did a wonderful job. All of the songs kept people on the dance floor and they listened to all of our requests. In the months/weeks leading up to the wedding Mike was easily accessible and very promt to return the many phone calls I made to him. I would recommend Black Tie for all occasions, especially weddings!

Although initially the company was a bit stand-offish, closer to the event the company and the DJ himself, Mike Cole, were very attentive to us and our needs. One of the best things that the company utilizes is an online form for the “Must Play” and “Do Not Play” song lists. We found this very convenient because it could be done in our spare time without the inconvenience of setting up a meeting time when you are already booked full of errands to run and other meetings during wedding planning. Black Tie Entertainment did both our ceremony music and our reception music and we were very satisfied with their services. During the reception, they immediately did anything that we or our parents asked of them and they even double-checked to make sure we had food and drinks and when I was tearing up during the Daddy-Daughter Dance they brought me tissues! Also, they let you request what they would be wearing to the event. We were very impressed with the professionalism of the staff.

We used Robert Dilillo for our wedding and he is WONDERFUL!! I have been to several weddings where Robert is the DJ and I seem to be more impressed each time! He has a unique way of getting so many of the guest on the dance floor...sometimes it's difficult for guest to get the courage to dance but we had almost everyone dancing at our wedding! Robert gets out and dances with the croud and they played wonderful music the entire night. Once we started the planning process Robert with Black Tie Ent. was the very first vendor I wanted to book because I knew for a fact I wanted him as the DJ. Michael, also another great DJ, was my contact at Black Tie and he was always available to answer any questions I had and very helpful! There prices were very reasonable, you have to remember your DJ is the one running the reception and you need someone who is going to keep things on track, and Robert is great at it! He is very professional and I highly recommend him, you wont be sorry!! :)

Mike Cole was the DJ for our wedding and we were more than satisfied. Mike was very professional and met with us at length when we were originally looking for a DJ. We were so happy we chose him. We did not give him specific song choices other than our father/daughter and mother/son dances - we just told him the type of music we wanted to hear, and he did a fantastic job. He took care of everything and the flow of the evening was perfect because of him. I did not have to worry about a thing. Our guests were on the dance floor all night and I still hear about what a fun wedding we had. The music made the night and if I ever need a DJ again, I will definitely go with this company.

We cannot say enough positive things about Rob and his crew. They really got the party started! They were very professional, entertaining and super personable. Our guests continue to talk about our reception to this day! In addition to the music, we also decided to get a floor monogram, and they made it happen. It was beautiful! Everyone loved it! Thanks Rob, for hooking us up! We would definitely recommend Black Tie Entertainment.

Michael Cole was my DJ at our wedding and he kept in touch with me before hand to go over all songs and details of the reception. He was very professional and my husband and I were very pleased with the music at our wedding. Our guests commented on the music saying it was great and we would recommend Black Tie Entertainment to all future brides.

Working with Robert was so amazing! From the initial booking, to helping us select songs to running the reception with perfection, the entire experience was so great! I liked being able to make my "must have" playlist online where I could pick out my song choices. Also helpful was telling Robert which songs not to play! Robert was a total pro. He made us comfortable, ran the show during the reception but made sure that we were happy with how things were going. He did a great job getting everyone dancing and keeping the party going all night! Couldn't have asked for a better experience.

Excellent and professional service! Robert handles everything so you don't have to worry!

My husband came up with a song list that he wanted at the reception. The dj was most accomodating and played all of the songs. Everyone enjoyed the music and danced all night. They also provided music for the ceremony on the beach and background music during the cocktail hour. Black Tie Entertainment was wonderful.

We booked Robert with Black Tie Entertainment, and he was such a blast! He is a true emcee behind the mic, and kept our guests entertained and dancing. He played every song on our list and none of the ones we wanted either (even though he said a few guests requested them). He is a really sweet guy that will keep your party going!

People are still talking about the amazing time they had at my wedding, and it is all due to the awesome time Black Tie Entertainment created!! Robert jump started the wedding with the conga line, and the dance floor didn't empty all night long. Robert is full of energy and interacts with the guest, and simply has a great time. The package we had, included props such as blow up guitars and microphones, glow necklaces, hats, and maracas. I still laugh at all my pictures. People had a great time. He is a great party motivator, and the white glove dance is a classic! I have recommeded him to family and friends, and I have now been to 3 weddings that he has DJ'd. I highly recommend Black Tie Entertainment. You will not be disappointed!!!

I am so pleased with MAX WEINBERG from Black Tie Entertainment! They were a preferred vendor for my venue and after working with them personally I can see why. Mark was very personable and organized. The forms provided to plan ceremonies and receptions made this a walk in the park. We could not have asked for a better DJ service. Mark was amazing and he followed our instructions and preferences perfectly. I would recommend Black Tie Entertainment to anyone searching for an entertainment provider that is experienced, professional and great at what they do.

Our wedding DJ, MAX (Black Tie Entertainment) was amazing from start to finish. He was always able to talk before the wedding and made us feel comfortable in the planning process of the wedding. Once the day arrived he read the crowd so well and everyone was raving about how good the music was! Personally and professionally he was exactly what we were looking for...he was referred to us by a friend and we have referred him to many other friends who are looking for the BEST DJ in Southwest Florida; Max is now a family tradition...he has been the DJ for all 3 of our children's weddings.

Very professional company and great to work with

Great DJ's without fail, everytime. You're in good hands with these pros!

They make video so much better, because they always make a point of keeping us informed as to what is coming next, so we don't miss a thing, and we are most appreciative, because it makes our job that much easier.
