If you don't book DJ Kwake, you're messing up!! From the ceremony all the way through cocktail hour and dinner, to the dance party, the music was UNREAL. DJ Kwake knows how to do music in a way that feels effortless and cool. He nailed every single request we had when it came to our vision for our music (we wanted 90's hip-hop, R&B, early 2000's club music, and some alt folk, soul, and Bossa Nova Vibes. He made everything flow so well, keeping it seemless.

Not only did he do the music, but he also had a photo booth at our wedding too where he took our invitation design and turned it into the border on all the photos our guests took in the photo booth! The attention to detail is exceptional.

Book DJ Kwake, that's the take away here!

1000/10

Fun and memorable
Lots of variety of music and great advice.

Supplied our guests with a Photo Booth, on top of DJ’ing - Guests were able to take their own photos and send to their phones.

I cant stress this enough you get what you pay for and cheaping out on a dj wont get you a party of a lifetime! My husband and I cant express how grateful to DJ Kwake and his team for making our evening we couldn’t forget! Our wedding was a couple weeks ago and people are still complimenting the dj for setting the vibe and getting them up to the dance floor for an unforgettable night!

Our DJ was amazing, we didn’t have a lot of people hitting the dance floor but not due to the skill our dj had. They followed our list perfectly and made our night fantastic!

Our experience with DJ Kwake was not a good one.
This service was recommended to us by our venue, River's Edge.
I will say the DJ we had at our wedding was great, but our negative experiences trying to contact this company and with our photo booth do not make up for it.
First, we found Archie very difficult to get ahold of. I sent numerous emails to the provided email and through the contract form and never got any responses. We finally got a hold of him a week before our wedding, even though he said he would contact us two weeks before to review the plan, and he said he did not receive any of the emails I had sent. However, if the emails were related to a payment, I always got a response.
Our worst experience was with the photo booth. We got the digital print photo booth all night, however, we were dismayed the next day to learn from our guests that the photo booth had been left in demo mode the entire evening and every photo had "this is a demo" written overtop of it. I sent some emails about it when we were on our honeymoon, and again, got no response. When we got back, I called Archie about this, and in my conversation with him he blamed me and my husband for not noticing, even though we were extremely busy that day, and then proceeded to blame the first guests who used the photo booth referring to them as "some kids". I asked for the demo photos even though they are not usable, and can clearly see that the first people to use the photo booth were some of our pharmacy colleagues, who are definitely not children. Regardless of whether they were children, I do not think it should have been our guest's responsibility to set up the photo booth correctly. He also told me that he had set up the photo booth himself and taken a photo in the correct mode, but I met the female employee who set up the photo booth and the DJ, and neither of them were the owner (Archie) who claimed he had been there. It is really off-putting to be lied to rather than for him to have taken responsibility for this mistake. Having a photo booth was very important to us, but because of this mistake no one was able to share photos from our wedding nor can I add them to the guestbook as intended. I think the appropriate response, in this case, would have been to offer us a refund, rather than trying to place the blame elsewhere. We choose this photo booth service over others, because we thought it would be easier to have fewer vendors, but instead, we received no usable photos. Some guests even told me that they just assumed we had gotten the photo booth for free, which is not the vibe we were trying to convey at our >$30000 wedding.
During my last communication, Archie told me he would contact the photo booth company to see if they would be able to remove the text, but I have attempted to follow up with him twice and still have not received a response. At this point, it has been over 6 months since our wedding, and we do not have much use for them anyways.

DJ Kwake handled the music for our ceremony and reception, as well as the Photo Booth we used to get pics for our guestbook. The music went flawlessly, and DJ Kwake was really excellent at picking the right song to get people dancing - even though we had a small wedding, he kept the dance floor going.

We were very happy with the service and would definitely recommend.

Our guests danced the night away the dance floor was never empty!

We LOVED having DJ Kwake at our wedding!! He really catered the music to our exact tastes & specifications, he read the room well throughout the whole night, and people were always on the dance floor!! Couldn’t have asked for a better DJ!! Thanks, Archie!!

DJ Kwake Entertainment Group- (Archie Caraang & Chelsea) were amazing to work with for my fall wedding this past October. From my first time meeting him I could tell he was passionate about music, which was very important to me when picking a DJ. Aside from music, his resume speaks for itself since he has been in the music scene for decades. He was very open to the different genres of music my wife and I were looking for, and in turn loved that exact music we chose. A few weeks before our wedding he contacted us to help us finalize our song choices and even made a few suggestions when my wife was stuck on which songs to pick for the bouquet toss and cake cutting. He also edited our first dance song nicely so we weren’t up there dancing forever. Archie read the crowd and kept the dance floor packed all night for our friends and family. I highly recommend him for anyone looking for his services, as he will not disappoint. Thanks again Arch and Chels. Love ya guys !!!
