Black Tie Entertainment is proud to have OVER 25 years of experience in the Wedding and Entertainment Business!
We specialize in Wedding Receptions and Ceremonies as well as ALL other Events from A to Z.
Black Tie Entertainment's number one priority is to make your wedding experience one that is elegant and classy, traditional yet unique, and most importantly as stress-free as possible. When making the decision on who to trust with “The Most Important Day of Your Life” please consider the following statistics from a recent survey of brides after their weddings:
72% of all brides say they would have spent more time choosing their reception entertainment. This happens because they make a quick decision, and look for the cheapest DJ.
Almost 100% say they would have spent more of their budget on the entertainment. This is the result of number one above. Cheap is never the best; all DJs are not trained in wedding reception entertainment, and not ALL are professionals.
During the planning of a wedding, Brides say their highest priority is their attire, followed by the reception site and caterer - reception entertainment is among the least of their priorities. Within one week after their reception, 78% of Brides say they would have made the entertainment their highest priority! This again is the result of both one and two above. This tells us that 78% of the brides surveyed, after looking back at the outcome of their reception, would have taken the time to manipulate their budget so they could have retained a professional DJ. Don't be the bride that can only recall all the unpleasant memories of her reception, because of the unprofessional abilities of a budget DJ.
When asked, 81% of guests say the thing they remember most about a wedding is the entertainment. Not the food, not the flowers, not the cake, the entertainment. It only makes good sense to provide your guest with professional quality entertainment. It is an entertainment function, a celebration, and your guests are looking forward to having FUN.
65% of all couples that chose a band to entertain at their wedding said if they had it to do over again, they would have chosen a disc jockey. Bands can only perform the music they know. Often they are not trained in wedding reception Emcee skills and coordination. You're limited to only the music the band knows. With a professional DJ you get all the music you need to reach everyone's taste, from the youngest to the oldest.
We will assist you in coordinating everything from your Ceremony music to announcing your Grand Entrance, First dance, Father/Daughter, Mother/Son Dances, Toast, Cake Cutting, Bouquet and Garter toss. Any and all other announcements followed by a spectacular evening with any array of music and sounds of your choice.
We are never over bearing, cheezy or corny in any way, and our vast reference history from California to Charleston, South Carolina, will tell it all!
A Wedding/Event information Package is sent to all of our clients so they can provide us with all the info and itinerary needed describing the timeline of your special event. This will also provide us with a list of your favorite songs to play at the event, even what NOT to play.
Whether its a corporate function, holiday gathering, birthday or High School prom party, we take pride in all events and it shows in our work!
Black Tie takes pride in making sure that everyone receives their very own "Personal Touch". In doing this, we bring to all our customers the assurance and the confidence they need to know that their event will be SPECIAL and simply, a one-of-a kind treasure!
Black Tie's unique talent brings a diversified blend of Music that will "set the mood," and "create the perfect atmosphere", bringing you and your loved ones the Fondest Memories that will last a lifetime...
No other person you hire will affect your reception as much as your DJ...Call, DJ, Rick Gold Today.
Classic Rock, Motown, R&B, 70's, 80's, & ALL Dance Music Hip Hop, Country, Big Band.
WE TAKE ALL REQUEST, SO YOUR MUSIC WILL ALWAYS BE PLAYED!!

"I could not have asked for my interaction with Black Tie Entertainment to go any better! Rick Gold was very professional, very prompt and extremely friendly. He knew exactly what music to play and how to involve the audience. He was definitely the key to our party being a complete success! I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a fun and professional DJ service! We will be using him again the next time we want to get our groove on!!"

"Mr. Gold was spectacular!!! He was extremely helpful and kept things running smooth. My wife and I had an unorthodox wedding and things did not run as smoothly as we had planned. There were a few monkey-wrenches thrown in with the timing, but Mr. Gold did a wonderful job at keeping everything going and the guest happy.
He found every song we wanted him to play, even with some non-traditional songs! When everything started to get settled down, he really shined as an awesome DJ!
I would have him at whatever future events in which we need a DJ. Definitely worth the reasonable price that he charges!

"Black Tie Entertainment was absolutely amazing to work with. Rick was more than willing to find any song I gave him, even when it was only a few days before the wedding. The professionalism he showed and his ability to play the exact type of music was phenomenal. Our guests were up all night dancing and having the best time. We have been complimented so much on how fun our event was and we owe all this to Rick. If you want a wedding that people will talk about for years to come, you need to hire Black Tie Entertainment to DJ your event. I would love to use Rick again with any event we plan or participate in. "

"I had a time-line and play list and asked for NO variations. He had a tough crowd to deal with. We had a mix of party-goers and I wanted to keep this as PC as possible. The guest of honor - God bless my mom - wanted to PARTY on her 50th and to my surprise, so did everyone else. Once I scratched my time-line and tossed back an adult beverage, Mr. Gold kept everyone on the dance floor. Even with a snag or two on the cake/speech (our fault) - he kept things going smooth! And - with the request of a particular song played every hour ON THE HOUR - he added a few sweet words every once in a while.
I enjoyed working with him prior to the event as I am in California and this party was held on the opposite coast! He kept in touch and put me at ease. He even stayed over the over over over time we had planned.
I hope our paths will cross again.
God bless,
Rebecca Labonte
