Where do I even begin...working with Eclipse Events is the single best decision we made in planning our wedding. My husband and I pulled together our wedding for 100 guests in 88 days - clearly an extremely aggressive and slightly crazy timeline. Not only did we have a barrier with our timeline, but since he is Dominican and I am Polish/Irish, having a bilingual MC who could seamlessly keep the party rocking and make everyone feel part of the celebration was super important to us. Lucky for us, in our research we stumbled upon Eclipses website. I have to admit, I didnt always see the value in investing in entertainment - I was of the mindset that all event companies are the same - but after our wedding the best advice I can give anyone planning a wedding is that your entertainment is more important than almost anything else youll spend money on, including flowers, dress, etc. From our first Skype conversation with Chris Ponce, we were super impressed and knew that we were in good hands. After we decided to work with Chris, and we got further into our planning process, it was so easy to reach out to Eclipse and leverage their expertise to add on additional services, from photography and video, to the insane selfie mirror (such a hit with our guests) to their awesome lighting. It was super convenient to have access to so many quality services in the same place. Chris was awesome at facilitating and connecting us with the right resources that made sense for us and our needs, and always accessible by phone, text, Skype, whenever we had questions. On the day of our wedding, the Eclipse team (DJ/MC, video, photography, selfie mirror, lighting) couldnt have been more professional and flawless in execution. The dance floor was not only packed, but the energy was completely epic, all night. The photography and video team members were so easy to work with and made us feel totally at ease, and importantly they were not disruptive to the experience at all. Im confident they were capturing everything and we cannot wait to see the end results. Weve had nonstop guests reaching out to us and complimenting everything from the DJ, MC lighting, selfie mirror etc. There was only one moment that the dance floor was empty for just a few moments and it was because everyone needed a small break after dancing what seemed non stop. And even then Chris truly went above and beyond and knew just what to do and play to make everyone turn right back around and get back to the dance floor. Additionally, having someone bilingual that was able to appeal to both languages was amazing because it not only ensured everyone had a phenomenal time, but it also had an amazing side effect of creating more interaction between our very different families. It was an amazing sight when my husband and I took a step back and saw both families on the dance floor at the same time, including Grandma! We could go on and on and ON about Chris and every member of the Eclipse team for helping us throw an EPIC party and helping us kick off our life together on the highest of notes. We cant thank them enough, or recommend them enough, the team nailed everything we were looking for and then some.

Our venue provided a list of recommended vendors, but the saleswoman was willing to tell us which to star as vendors she would have if she were in our shoes...she said hands down, Eclipse Events is the VERY BEST DJ service around. We have both been to and been in a lot of weddings...never have either of us seen a dance floor as packed and lively as at our wedding. A DJ or band can make or break your event - we couldnt have chosen anyone who would have made our night any more fun than it was. We had people who LOVE to dance telling us that Eclipse is the BEST DJ they have ever had the chance to dance to at a wedding and that the transitions between songs were just AMAZING!! While they asked for our input on songs to play (on a very professional form by the way), we really counted on their expertise as well...they were fantastic! We also added two TVs in order to play a video we created. The screens were beautiful, clear and did the job - once the video was in Eclipses hands, we had nothing to worry about. They handled it all and it went perfectly. The screens then had appropriate writing on them throughout the rest of the party. We had the chance to talk with and work with a number of people at Eclipse. Initially we met with Anthony, who was originally going to MC our wedding and we greatly enjoyed talking with; however, we booked him far before he and his wife got pregnant and he ended up becoming a daddy shortly before our reception and needed someone else to step in. The owner of Eclipse, Michael, called to let us know the situation, and is a true professional - he has built an excellent business. In the end we couldnt have been happier with the team who carried out our big day...Steve Caruso (MC), Chris Ponce (DJ) and Steve P (TV tech)!!!! They are STELLAR!! Eclipse Events is clearly a company of nothing but professionals!! We hope to get on the dance floor with them again one day (sooner the better)!

The reception from our wedding night was outstanding. Eclipse Entertainment was a major contributor to the success of a perfect evening. Their superb attention to detail and super professionalism absolutely brought down the house! They treated us like beloved extended family members from the first time we met them for a consultation. They were highly recommended through the Knot and they delivered to those expectations. The planning process for the wedding party walk-ins, music selection, photo booth, every request in the planning process was honored and out-done. They played a wide variety of music that appealed to everyone; they even played traditional Irish folk music! We felt comfortable with them that we knew everything would be handled appropriately with their timely follow-ups leading up to the big day. It took all the stress out of the situation. They also work frequently with the Ryland Inn where we had our reception booked. I can’t stress how important it is for your vendors to work well with each other and that your DJ is familiar with the venue!! Everything from where they set up, lighting placement, seating recommendations for anyone that may be sensitive to loud music was perfect!!! The entire staff that worked our wedding was very courteous and extremely professional. The reception will go down in history within our family as the best wedding that anyone has ever been to. Id like to thank them for making our night amazing, and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a DJ! Don’t question it, book this DJ!!! Ryan and Patricia 6/12/16

Eclipse did an excellent job at our wedding on July 3, 2016 at The Imperia. My wife and I researched a few entertainment companies online and scheduled an appointment with Eclipse first. Needless to say we did not meet with any of the other companies. We were impressed by the presentation when we first met with Anthony. Chris Ponce was our MC and after meeting with him the fisrt time we brought him a few mix CDs and just had general conversation to get to know each other and our taste in music. Leaving our inital meeting with Chris we were completely comfortable that he knew what music and angle we were going toward. There was continuos contact leading up to the wedding. Every detail was taken care of. The 70" tvs and the mirror DJ booth were showstoppers. We also did the video montage and step & repeat. Everyone at our wedding was impressed by the set up and they stayed on the dance floor all night. Chris did an excellent job throughout the night and he along with the matre di did an excellent job keeping us on schedule. Chris did a great job! You cant go wrong with Eclipse. You wont be disappointed. Terek & Brandi 7/3/16
