DJ
About Us
We are a full production company with extensive sound, light, and video options. Since 1993 our belief has been that each song needs to be the absolute best choice for that particular moment in your party – nothing inappropriate or overly cliché and no filler!
We are referred by nearly EVERY banquet facility in CNY and it’s often what we don’t do that sets us apart.
Weddings
At Black Tie Entertainment our goal is to exceed your expectations by crafting, organizing, and coordinating a reception that is tailored to your tastes and style. Every client wants their event to be FUN and we understand that this means different things to different people. Working with you, our pre-planning begins weeks ahead of time – analyzing your needs and discussing ideas about how you would like your event to flow and feel for both the guests and yourself.
Our Approach
Wedding DJ’s need to do more than just play the requests that are given to them (we offer a DIY rental for events where a pre-set playlist will suffice). A wedding DJ needs to understand you and your crowd in order to bundle and play your music in a way that brings about your desired outcome across multiple age groups. Often, a lot of musical ground needs to covered during a short period of time. Diverse music styles and genres need to be connected and presented in a way that keeps the momentum up and the dance floor filled – the right song at the right time! DJ’s need to be more than a human Jukebox – they need to provide a value added service that achieves the bride & groom’s vision of a great event!
As the Master of Ceremonies our DJs serve as the reception’s coordinator to assure that all events proceed smoothly and on time. Our aim is to carry out your tastes and preferences in a way that ensures a seamless, stress free event for you and your family. We check in with you throughout the course of the event to make sure your bridal party, photographer, service staff, and other vendors are kept informed as to when key formalities and events are happening.
Why Us?
We come to you with exciting and fresh party ideas, all styles of music, polished DJs/MCs who love what they do and years of references to underscore our commitment to crafting wonderful events. Our fee always includes dance floor lighting, a request guarantee, and a complete second sound system for your cocktail hour or ceremony if held onsite in a separate area.

Weekly we purchase every hit song across ALL major genres of music and we’ll get any of your special requests that we don’t currently own, free of charge.
