Awesome review from one of our sweet brides:

“Why I choose them
From their website to their Instagram videos, they are 100% about creating a great party for your wedding. It was very clear they throw great parties for all ages/musical tastes and seemed to really enjoy being a part of your celebration. They are very confident vendors and seemed just as excited for my wedding as I was.

Why I am glad I did
They 1000% killed it for my wedding. Leading up to the wedding, they have a few questionnaires and a very easy to use music selection sheet that helps them design your best reception. I was totally overwhelmed (seriously get a wedding planner) and didn’t utilize these planning tools as much as I could have. But that didn’t matter, they took what I gave them and brought the music! Even with little input from me, they threw a GREAT party. They read my crowd and kept the energy high. They also took a few videos of some unique moments which was a great addition to our photographs. One of the best decisions of my wedding planning was hiring Nikki and Devail!
You will not be disappointed if you select 196 Events for your big day!”

Couples love their pictures and the fun props!

Side Note: I freeze up every time a sweet grandma grabs the “married af” or “single af” prop and ask me what it means. 🥴

We love this reaction! Your wedding reception should be packed with moments like these. Every wedding is different so be sure to hire a DJ that knows how to read a room and give the people what they want! 😁 The playlist you provide us gives us the framework for the vibe you want to create, but it’s our job to build on that and make sure everyone one has an epic time celebrating your day.

This father & daughter dance was 🔥🔥! When the bride asked Devail to make this mix we knew it was going to be special but they absolutely killed it! By the end everyone was on their feet and ready to party. It absolutely set the tone for an epic night!

Before I answer that…can we pause to show their soloist some love ?!❤️ My tears started during the instant she started singing. There wasn’t a dry eye in the room. We also love that they chose a worship song.

Ok…Back to ceremony support:
So what’s included.
- Pre-ceremony music to be played as your guest arrive
- Music for the family and bridal party processional, the bride’s grand entrance as well as the recessional
- Lapel Mic for your officiant
- Wireless Mic for additional speakers/readings/soloists
- Perform soundcheck and manage audio quality for soloists

are the best couples!

These hotties got married back in 2017! It seems like we were all babies just a few short years ago, but everyone is getting their grown and sexy on now and I love it! See you at the next wedding! 💕🥰

I cried during their ENTIRE wedding day! Starting with the soundcheck for their soloist.😊 Her performance deserves its own post so stay tuned.

We first met Yodani 5 years ago at her friend’s wedding. From there we reconnected for the weddings of 2 additional couples from that same friend group. By this time we were all following each other and keeping up with one another’s lives as we do in 2022 with a comment or two on social media and and a lot of “likes”.😊 I have to admit, when I saw Mr. JJ continue to make an appearance on Yodani’s timeline my first thought was, OMG we are having another wedding! Whether they hired us or not, I just wanted to be there for it. Fortunately, she and JJ decided we were a good fit for their day and I’m so thankful. I have enjoyed seeing their relationship grow and thrive.

To this amazing couple: We pray that your marriage serves as an example to the world of what God intended marriage to be. Wishing you a lifetime of happiness!

****New Blog Post****

Devail had me in tears over this one. I think it was because he shared so much of his heart and our personal life (WHICH HE NEVER DOES) 😊

We hope you enjoy it and that it inspires you to dream a little. Share it with someone who needs to hear it! ❤️

Because it’s Valentine’s Day — here’s a look back at one of my favorite ceremonies. They are the sweetest couple and the officiant was so much fun. (And yes, he is the real 🎅) 😊
