Peter Papadopoulos is an extremely talented DJ. He made the entire event from the ceremony through our reception an amazing and special event. He has a gift for getting the "feel" of a crowd and catering to their individual tastes and whims. He is fun, talented, and professional and made our entire wedding PERFECT!
GUEST




Peter came HIGHLY recommended both by the St. Regis and our wedding coordinator and we are EXTREMELY happy we hired Peter for our wedding reception!!! Peter was AWESOME....he was by far the BEST DJ i've ever seen at a wedding and we're glad it was OUR wedding he was at! He played excellent music and we even had guests call us the following days to compliment what a great MC/DJ we had at our wedding, and they LOVED his music selection. It was for all ages to enjoy and he did a great job at getting our guests to dance!!! I was most worried that our guests wouldn't get up from their seats to dance, but Peter did it!!! I was SO thrilled to see that and he was excellent at being an MC at our wedding reception and he had a great voice for it, which was really important to us. He really handled situations really well when given last minute tasks and he made it so easy and ran the reception so smoothly and flawlessly. He worked really well with our coordinators and photographers. Peter is very professional, classy, friendly, and really entertaining. Overall, I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Peter as your DJ/MC at your wedding or else you'll regret it!!! THANKS SO MUCH PETER!!!! - Michelle and Matt

Simply put—Peter is the best!!!!! I don’t know where to begin. We had a very international guest list. I had guests fly in from London, Nigeria and China and Peter was able to play music to make everyone hit the dance floor. Not only did Peter dj our reception, he also did the music for our wedding and cocktail hour and always provided the perfect soundtrack for each moment of our wedding. For the actual ceremony he brought my strong husband to tears as I walked down the aisle, for the cocktail hour he made our guests feel as if we had whisked them off to some south of France and for the reception you would’ve thought you were at the hippest night club in any international city. To top it all off—he even gave us cds of all the songs he played and my husband and I listed to every song and could remember the events of our wedding. It was amazing. Can’t thank Peter enough for the memories
GUEST




One word....Amazing! Look no further you have found your DJ! Peter rocked it!
GUEST




DJ Peter is an extremely talented entertainer! He will tailor your style to make your special event unique and unforgettable. He is an amazing crowd reader, and knows how to create an atmosphere that will perfectly suit your special occasion. He is professional, classy and very technological savvy.
GUEST




Hi Peter. Just wanted to send you a quick note to thank you on a phenominal job last Friday. We got nothing but compliments on the music, from our hardest core dancers to those who would normally sit it out. Everyone had a great time, loved your selection, and danced all night. On top of all that, you could not have been more professional.
Job very well done!
Thanks again.
Frank and Amy
GUEST




Peter it was like we knew you for years, thank you for making our day come together.
GUEST




Peter did an amazing job with the music for our reception. He was professional and all our guests loved him. He made everyone feel comfortable to get out on the dance floor and party into the night. Except for a few songs we wanted him to play, we just told him the types of music we liked and let him pick the songs based on the mood. He did not disappoint! We highly recommend Peter and Vive Entertainment!
GUEST




Peter Papadopolous of Vive Entertainment, Inc. is the perfect DJ with tons of energy, enthusiasm (but no cheese factor here!), professionalism, and attention to detail. He mapped out my entire timeline, coordinated everything with my 10-piece band, custome edited my first dance and father-daughter dance, and answered every e-mail and call within 24 hours...often instantly! I couldn't be more thankful to have worked with Vive--my guests danced to the early hours of the morning and couldn't get off the dance floor! Thank you, Peter, for the most amazing party!!!




Peter is an awesome DJ! We had him do our cocktail hour and reception and all our guests loved the music he played. He was super easy to work with an showed up on time. He even stayed later than he was supposed to and didn't charge us extra for it! He really made our wedding fun and got all our guests up and dancing, even my dad who DOES NOT dance at all!
GUEST




Peter was the DJ at my wedding reception in April 2010 at The Lodge at Torrey Pines. I could not have been happier with my decision to book him. He is responsive, professional, organized, friendly, and talented. My husband and I received so many compliments on him at our wedding. Even my parents (who were wary of finding a good DJ) were thrilled with him and are still commenting on how impressed they were with his speaking skills and professionalism.
Our dinner/toasts were in a separate room than the dance floor. Peter set up a dual speaker system that was flawless.
He also transitioned the wedding events very well and professionally. He is a great speaker and was not at all overbearing.
My dad commented today that when he went up to the front of the room to make his toast, Peter had the foresight to hand my dad both the mic and a glass of champagne. (My dad had forgotten to bring his glass.) Peter really had everything covered and was always one step ahead.
And of course, his music was amazing. The dance floor was packed and he read the guests very well. My husband and I highly recommend him.
GUEST




Simply put, my husband and I never left the dance floor at our reception because Peter never stopped playing awesome music. Essentially the entire room became a dance floor because everyone was dancing. Peter was awesome to work with throughout our wedding planning. I sent him a very detailed play list about a week before the wedding (a little hyper-controlling on my part) and Peter was so gracious about accepting this list from me - he played everything on it that worked for the event and then many more songs I never would have thought of that were perfect to keep the energy up and fun all night. Peter is also very reasonably priced when I compared him to similar DJ packages and he was super easy to work with and made any adjustments that the venue and wedding planner asked of him. We loved Peter and will recommend him to all our friends getting married in Southern California (our wedding was in San Diego and he made the trip).
GUEST




We were very pleased and happy with there services. The DJ's were great, they did an exceptional job. The dance floor was never empty and everyone had such a great time. Mary who took the pictures throughout the day did such a great job and was able to capture wonderful candid pictures throughout the night
GUEST




Peter was absolutely fabulous! So much fun and created the perfect atmosphere to get everyone on the floor dancing--the old, the young, the hip, the traditional--all of our guests danced, even people who typically never dance were on the dance floor and having a blast! We could not have been happier with him! We look forward to working with him again at another event--he will always be our top choice for DJ!
GUEST




If you're looking for a DJ, you can stop now that you've found Peter! My husband and I can't say enough about what a great experience we had working with him. (And this is coming from two people who were originally VERY opposed to having a DJ!) Peter is extremely organized, professional, and has a calm demeanor that is really appreciated on a busy wedding day. He played exactly the kind of music we wanted to hear and MC'd the events of the reception perfectly. All of our guests kept commenting on how great the music was. Overall, our wedding day definitely wouldn't have been the same without Peter as our DJ. Highly, highly recommended.
GUEST




Peter was an awesome DJ for my wedding! He made the evening's events flow perfectly. And, the dance music was just our style! I would definitely use him again for other events!
GUEST




Peter was fabulous! Our guests danced the night away and he mixed it up really well. I had a bit of trouble getting a hold of him for our first meeting, but other than that, he is a top notch, very classy DJ
GUEST




We were married in July of 2009, and Peter was our reception DJ. Peter truly helped to make our day special. Not only was he extremely prepared and organized, but he was also extremely responsive to our wishes and tastes in music. We never fully realized the art behind DJ services until we recently attended a wedding and compared the tone that the DJ set there versus the tone Peter set at our wedding. Some DJs want to stick to a schedule instead of just being in the moment, responding to who is on the dance floor and the emotions in the room. That is certainly not Peter! We loved that Peter let our special moments run the night, not a pre-set agenda. Our wedding was very intimate, and we are so glad Peter was a part of it. I know we would not have the many happy memories of our wedding reception if it wasn't for him. Thank you so much, Peter.
GUEST




Peter's thoroughness and preparation are really impressive. He met with us at some length beforehand to make sure he understood exactly how we wanted the reception to flow. He wanted understand the tone we wanted, the level of informality, what type of music we wanted, what specific tunes we wanted to play. He did a really good job as MC for the evening, keeping things moving and adding energy. He did a particularly good job of getting people up and dancing. Many of our friends said they thought he was outstanding. Our wedding coordinator said she thought he was the best she's worked with.




Peter did an amazing job at our wedding! I was extremely impressed by his professionalism and great attitude. He is a fantastic DJ and I am so lucky that I hired Vive Entertainment for both my ceremony and reception.
I am so glad that I chose Peter instead of a band. I was able to hear every song by the original artist instead of having a “wedding singer” imitate the song; I believe that hearing the original songs really added to the party atmosphere (as confirmed by the guests!). Peter made sure that he played all of our favorites and alternated beautifully between slow songs and party songs. Not only was the music incredible, but Peter’s MC talents impressed everyone. He was smooth, great with words, and I couldn’t have asked for anyone better!
GUEST




Peter was awesome! He made great music selections, was flexible in working in our ideas, and mostly just kept the party going and the dance floor full! We had a great experience with Vive Entertainment and would highly recommend them
GUEST




Peter was absolutely outstanding at our wedding reception. He knew how to get the guests on the dancefloor and the flow of the songs was amazing. We highly recommend him for weddings!
GUEST




I have to give Peter Papadopolous of Vive Entertainment RAVE reviews.
Peter was a masterful master of ceremonies. He helped to keep me calm before & during the wedding, and provided me with an incredible music library to choose from. He took as long as was needed to help me choose my music, gave me great ideas for song choices, and was very patient with me. He responded in a timely manner to my calls and reassured me when I got flustered as the wedding drew near. We spent 3 hours going through just a portion of his music library and when he didn't have something in his library, he found it for me and added it to his collection as well.
During the wedding he was the highest of professionals, incorporated all of my requests in terms of what to say and how to keep the evening running smoothly. He worked closely and successfully with my wedding coordinator and their teamwork made the evening go by so quickly we needed at least 5 more hours! Very importantly, he was respectful of my wishes not to play certain songs and also was willing to play music that my stepchildren requested by accessing them immediately even when they weren't on my playlist.
He had a great sense of humor and knew how to improvise with my guests. He also incorporated our desire to have Greek dancing to start off the dancing.
I was smart enough to book him way in advance as he has a very busy schedule and I know why.
Needless to say, I found his services to be exceptional and when the opportunity arises again, I will absolutely hire him.
GUEST




Vive provided not only awesome entertainment but they were extremely professional and obviously knew how to make the event go smoothly. They were able to read the room and provide music based on what would keep the party going. Also, they were very adept at controling all aspects of the evening to make sure everything happened on time with minimal interruptions...all in all I would highly recommend them to anyone I know without hesitation!
GUEST




Peter was great!!! We had a daytime wedding and many of the hotel staff and guests commented that they had never witnessed a daytime wedding where there was so much dancing and fun music. We received comments that Peter was quick in playing requested music.
He was the perfect MC, he never missed a beat!
GUEST




HE was quite patient and very accomodating with all the kids at our wedding requesting songs!
GUEST




I HIGHLY recommend Peter! He did the music for our ceremony, cocktail and reception. After meeting with him I was fully confident that he wouls deliver a great show. He took our style of music and made our wedding the PERFECT evening for everyone that attended!!! He was SUPER easy to work with and he did a terrific job as the emcee for our wedding and our dance floor was packed until the very end. Thanks for a memorable wedding! Sabrina and James Ellison
GUEST




We loved Peter! He kept the dance floor full the entire night even my 82 old grandma was staying on the dance floor. Our reception had so much energy and our guests were having a great time. Peter but together a playlist based on personalities and the music we loved. He was able to mix my husband's love of 80's music and my love of country music & Britney Spears! We highly recommend Peter!
GUEST




Peter at VIVE was the most classy and professional vendor at our wedding. At the pre-wedding meetings, Peter was informative, creative, punctual and thorough. It really made it easy for my wife and I to focus on other details before the wedding knowing that the DJ was experienced. On our wedding day, Peter's introductions, music, and timelines were perfect. He really set the pace and mood for our wedding, leaving the guests to rave about all the fun they had. The music was PERFECT!! I would reccomend Peter for any event ! If you are looking for quality and professionalism, Peter is the best choice !
Thanks for Everything Peter
GUEST




Not only is Peter professional, fun, funny, and easy to work with, but he keep the dance floor packed during the entire reception. He is talented in providing a good variety of music that all ages can enjoy. He also provided us with 2 copies of all the songs that he played, which was very popular among our guests who wanted copies of it after the wedding. Besides the amazing venue, Peter definitely was the key to our fun and memorable reception!
Peter is BY FAR, one of my favorite DJs to work with. He is so efficient, personable, and extremely talented in his profession. It is a pleasure referring him to clients as I know he will always deliver!
Peter is fantastic at reading the crowd, blending styles of music together, and managing and emceeing an event to perfection. We always love working with him!
Vive Entertainment is a favorite amongst our brides. Peter is upbeat and professional and always ready to please. No matter what your music tastes Peter will make sure he has all of your needs met.
Peter at Vive is always such a pleasure to work with. Very fun, relaxed, not cheesy. Not only is Peter the best DJ ever- he is an amazing human being- love that guy!
Peter was a joy to work with at a Quinceanera event we did together. To my surprise, this bilingual DJ & Entertainer, complied with all the special requests the family had; including an edited bilingual version of a song. Vive Entertainment is a reliable, easy to work with, and efficient company that definitely kept the party going. I'd refer Peter and his crew time and time again!
Peter is not only a great Dj but he's a great guy and would be a huge asset to your wedding. If you are looking for a true professional DJ then Peter is the guy. Don't waste your time or your money on any other DJ and if he's available for your date i would book him right away. He doesn't sub contract out to other DJ's or DJ companies, he has the highest level of integrity and I highly endorse his services. There is a huge gap when it comes to the quality of DJ services out there on the market and Peter is by far at the top and one that i consider a Premiere DJ and a good friend.
Peter is one of the most awesome vendors we work with! He is not only always pleasant and organized but works extremely well with our clients. His calm demeanor is welcomed during this somewhat crazy time. He is flexible and works well intergrating his services with others. Very knowledgable in his area as well as what is needed in other areas such as the service of dinner. Has great suggestions and is fun to be around. We love him!
