Planning perspective
What to consider before reaching out
A strong first conversation is about fit, not just availability. Share your date, approximate guest count, location, and the feeling you want the day to have. Ask what is included, what typically changes the final quote, and what decisions need to be made earliest.
For a entertainment partner, confirm how communication works, who will be present on the day, and how the team handles changes. Pricing was not included in the supplied research, so request a current, itemized proposal directly from the business.

Talena went above and beyond as our wedding DJ! She was great to work with making the process run so smooth. She really helped manage the timeline of the ceremony/reception. She even checked in with us periodically to make sure we had what we needed, drinks included! This allowed us to be present and focus on the moment while she worked behind the scenes with other vendors. She kept the dance floor rocking all night!

We had a wonderful experience with Talena and Premier Entertainment at our wedding. During the planning process, she was always organized, cheerful and professional, quick to respond to emails, and so easy to work with. Every time I got off the phone with Talena I knew exactly what she needed from me and what my next steps were. She did an amazing job on the day of our wedding. We had a few last-minute crises and changes because one of my family members got ill the day before the wedding, but Talena was so helpful and she very gracefully ensured everything went smoothly. Our officiant had great sound through a lapel mic, and everyone could hear the ceremony perfectly with no hiccups. Talena...

Talena was the best DJ for our wedding! She was very easy to work with and the app she used to help with planning was very intuitive. She really helped manage the flow of the day as well--she'd come let us know when it was time for speeches etc. and check-in to make sure we liked what she was playing. The uplighting she provided was beautiful. The photobooth was such a hit! The props were great and it's so fun having the guest book with all the photos. Would highly recommend!

I can't recommend Talena and her team at Premier Entertainment and Events enough. We had a lot going on at our wedding. Our ceremony included two processional songs, one in MP4 format recorded by a family member. Then we had a live performance of voice and guitar. We then had multiple speeches to organize and a huge wedding party that needed to be announced, multiple dances, etc. When I tell you all of this was organized to perfection, I mean it. Talena was responsive, calm and also firm when she needed to line us up and get us in order! Most importantly, the music was incredible and I literally didn't leave the dance floor all night. 10/10- cannot recommend more. Thank you, Premier for maki...

Talena and her team are AMAZING. From communicating to delivering the best playlist on our wedding day, everything was seamless from start to finish. We loved working with our DJ Jim, he absolutely nailed it! He somehow created the perfect playlist that every generation could enjoy. There was not a single moment when someone wasn't on the dance floor. I think the pictures attached speak for themselves! We loved the app that they used to help create our timeline and even allowed us to attach a "do not playlist" which Jim diligently abided to! This is your sign to book!
