We had a wonderful experience with Alex for our wedding. Alex did the live-streaming, uplighting, and sound system for our wedding and we couldn't be happier with his services. He was very professional, prompt, and easy to work with, and the uplighting he provided was stunning. Everything flowed smoothly on our wedding day. We are so happy that our family and friends could join our wedding virtually during the pandemic thanks to Alex and his team!

The best decision we made for our wedding was hiring Alex! His and his team are talented and a ton of fun to work with! They take the time to listen and understand your vision and bring it to life. We knew the final product was going to be amazing, but it still blew us away. The wedding video did more than just capture out wedding - it captured our personality and story, which was exactly what we wanted. Thank you so much!

Perfect is the only word I have for working with Dj Cutt Entertainment. You can tell from the start how passionate and determined they are in making you the perfect product. The level of communication was very professional. He was always helpful and flexible. They captured the most important minutes of our wedding from beginning to end. We cried, we laughed, and we sang. I’d absolutely recommend these guys to anyone.

The whole team at DJ Cutt Entertainment was a dream to work with! They shot our wedding and DJ'd. We were extremely satisfied with it. They were professional and did a great job of being discreet.

Alex and his team are amazing. They photographed a fall wedding and they were incredible the whole time. They were responsive via email and phone for information in the first place, and were easy to communicate with through the whole process. It felt like they were just friends at the wedding who happened to be photographers. We are beyond happy with the final product.

The photographers and DJ at DJ Cutt Entertainment are outstanding. On the day of the wedding, they were unobtrusive yet managed to capture all of the special moments that we asked for. The whole team was discreet, yet professional. The final photos were beautiful and we will cherish them forever. And finally the DJ helped make the wedding as smooth as it could possibly be and played all the music we asked for!

Alex came promptly and set up everything beautifully (uplights, DJ set, spotlight). DJ was extremely energetic and fun, their platform made it easy to choose our music and he even had ready-to-use forms and playlists for music selection. My wife and I would really recommend their services to anyone, they were professional, easy to work with, friendly, and truly cared about making our day special.

Alex and his team shot the most incredible wedding video for us. They were so fun to work with and incredibly thoughtful. They were attentive, friendly, and made everyone feel very comfortable.

We hired Alex and his team to shoot a documentary style wedding film. As soon as we got in touch with them, we knew they were the right choice. They were attentive and made sure everything we wanted was addressed, along with answering every question we had. The final product was the most high quality and beautiful film we had ever seen.

Alec R.
Most importantly though, Alex did a fantastic job DJing the dance floor! He combined both western and Bollywood songs to give us the fusion feeling that we were looking for, and all of our guests had a wonderful time. From the start of the dancing until the final song, there was barely anyone standing on the side due to how high the energy level was! Music and song are critical to your wedding day, and DJ Cutt did a great job of making it special for us.
