Manny did an amazing job of providing great recommendations on a timeline prior to the event. He took into account that it was a teen and adult event and was able to keep the dance floor busy the whole time. Loved his professionalism!

DJ Manny was amazing at our wedding! He was very professional during our whole experience, well organized and communicative. He listened to me with all our preferences and song choices, even the meaning behind them all to help make the experience memorable and meaningful for us and our families on our wedding day! He created a sentimental experience along with funny upbeat and party vibes, appropriate for every vi e of our day and night. He was helpful in creating a special moment for me to memorialize parents that passed away and helped me pull off a wedding gift song surprise I had created for my husband! Music is extremely important and meaningful to me, and Manny was able to help me create memories I’ll cherish forever and also a great party experience. I would highly recommend him for weddings and any event!

Freshjive is definitely the team you NEED to have at your wedding or event. They made sure to plan out the timeline of events and made sure everything ran smoothly so we didn’t have to. They were punctual, professional, and personable. They made a girl who hates tons of photos enjoy taking them! I’d 100% recommend their team for any needs!

We hired Manny and his team to take our engagement photos, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience and results! Despite it being the busy holiday season, they managed to edit and deliver our photos in about two weeks — which was such a pleasant surprise. We booked them for just an hour, yet we received so many beautiful shots that my family and I are absolutely thrilled with. Manny and his team were professional, friendly, and really knew how to make us feel comfortable in front of the camera. We definitely plan to continue using them in the future and can’t recommend them highly enough!

Thank you so much, Alex — we’re thrilled you and your family are happy with the engagement photos. Manny and the team enjoyed working with you and are glad the session felt comfortable and relaxed. We’re proud we could deliver high-quality images quickly during the busy holiday season. We look forward to working with you again and truly appreciate your recommendation.
