DJ Services
Black Tie Entertainment: Rob and his staff maintain an excellent reputation in Southwest Florida. They are extremely professional and
very accommodating to any requests (no matter how unusual it may be!). Rob is great at getting the crowd up on the dance floor and
maintaining an upbeat party atmosphere. He likes to incorporate a music and dance montage into the beginning of the evening. He joins
the guests on the dance floor and instructs them through the songs. It works great to get the party started. He then takes on a much more
low key roll for the rest of the evening.
Ron Rutz: Ron is as professional as they come! During the planning process brides all rave about him. He's organized and easy to get a
hold of. When it comes to the big day, he doesn't miss a detail. He has his music organized into a computer system and can pull up songs
on a moments notice. He always plays a variety of music as he remains low key from start to finish. You won't find another wedding
professional as reliable and professional as Ron.
Danny Morgan Entertainment: Several good DJ's on staff. For great music selection, be sure and request Mike. Mike is a hit with the 20
and 30 somethings. He has a knack for finding those songs you haven't heard since college and getting everyone singing along. From
"Come On Eileen" to Outcast, "Hey Yeah", he knows the songs that your sorority sisters will love!
Music Force: Kevin Schell of Music Force has been playing great music for weddings for many years. Kevin has all of the tricks to getting
the guests up and dancing. Have the YMCA dance complete with hats or a conga line that stretches around the room. Kevin is the party DJ
who does it with class and professionalism.

Wedding Services
We have put together a list of the wedding vendors that we have seen do an exceptional job at Sanibel and Captiva Island weddings. This
is only a small portion of the businesses who offer their services to the islands. We have selected a few that we have seen and have
gotten great reviews. With every wedding service, we suggest you take the time to contact each of them personally and find the one that is
the best fit for you. Although we have primarily heard very positive reviews of all the vendors we have listed, each personal experience may
be different. We welcome any feedback.
