Sara H.
Absolute Music did a wonderful job at our wedding reception! Our DJ, Shane, was a professional and managed both the music and the photo booth for the evening. He went above and beyond to make sure my husband and I had an amazing time at our reception, even working with other vendors to ensure we had all we needed. Absolute Music was also very responsive with pre-wedding communication, answered all of our questions, and exceeded our expectations. We would strongly recommend this company, and Shane the DJ!
