First Class Events

I recently attended a wedding managed by First Class Events. Without a doubt, one of the best times we’ve had at a wedding in years! Multiple couples were complimentary of the entire evening. Very impressed with these guys. Classy. I won’t hesitate to use them for parties in the future. More...

First Class Events staff were a pleasure to work with from day one for my wedding. They are professional, and know exactly what they're doing, you can tell they've been doing this for a while which made my big day go smoothly. I would recommend using them if you're looking to have an event in the area! More...

We did the beach wedding complete package. It was absolutley beautiful! The chairs had bows with our wedding color.. Tiki torches lined the aisle, and a bamboo canopy for the ceremony. We had a mic so everyone could hear our vows. David the owner was awesome at communicating with me before the wedding and the day of to make sure that everything went off the way we planned and we even had a back up plan for if there was rain. We are very pleased with our experience and had an amazing wedding day! More...

Very happy with our DJ and MC team. I didn't realize that we'd be getting two separate people though, I thought the DJ was going to MC as well, but it worked out very well for our wedding. They were attentive to our planning process and listening to our requests and do not play lists. More...

Dave and his team did an outstanding job at a birthday party I attended. The DJ didn't overwhelm the room with the music volume and he made the atmosphere pleasant and festive. I highly recommend them.

First Class Events did an amazing job on on my Wedding covering the Video, Photography, Ceremony on the beach with chair set up, bagpiper for walking down the aisle, decorations for ceremony and the music and coordination for the Reception with 2 people (DJ and Master of Ceremony). Having two people was the best decision I made, the schedule was kept and everyone danced - even my uncle! I highly recommend using First Class Events! More...

David and his team were outstanding!  I planned my Florida Beach wedding over the phone from California.  David was very professional, had great suggestions and kept me very calm throughout the entire process.  His team made my dreams come true!! The ceremony was beautiful, better than I had imagined.  Rick the photographer captured all our special moments and the DJ was entertaining.  I highly recommend the photo booth!  Thank Dave and First Class Events for truly making our wedding THE BEST DAY EVER!

First Class Events is a wonderful company to work with and I would highly recommend them!

Everyone that I worked with at FCE was an absolute pleasure and very helpful for us in our planning! Our officiant was excellent and very laid back which was exactly what we wanted and his ability to play along with my husband's sarcasm was entertaining to all the attendees. The ceremony set up was gorgeous and everything I could have imagined. All the meetings were done over the phone which was great for us, but there were appointments available to meet in person. The online planning forms for the reception and music selection made planning very convenient, but David was there to help us through anything we didn't understand. The DJ did an amazing job of selecting the right music to keep everyone on the dance floor. The whole evening was perfect! More...

I can't say enough about Dave and his staff at First Class Events. They really took the time to listen to want I wanted and envisioned for my wedding day. The ceremony was absolutely gorgeous. Dave and his staff did such a wonderful job. They executed every detail that I requested. Not to mention they spent multiple hours via phone consultations to go over every detail and answer any questions I had. I would highly recommend them to any bride that is planning a wedding in the Sarasota area. More...

Review every detail, be very specific! If you're getting a photo booth, make sure to mention multiple times if you'd like copies of all the pictures. They cannot retrieve them after the wedding is over. As for the DJ, music was great and they played most of the songs I requested. More...

Wow! We are so pleased with First Class Events Rick (photographer), Jerome (DJ), and Dave (contact person). They were all so helpful and easygoing throughout the planning stages as well as the ceremony and reception. Rick has an outgoing personality and took a zillion pictures. Mitch and I are not photogenic, but we are having a difficult time deciding which pictures we want because we have fallen in love with so many. I have a HUGE family and Rick was able to get many fantastic photos with everyone looking great. We also have a special needs son that had a few overwhelming moments and Rick was able to redirect him and include our son which we are so grateful! Jerome was wonderful in the span of songs he played! I would say 95% of our guests danced at some point during the reception! Jerome also lead a couple of dances that we needed help with, he ROCKS! They both kept us on schedule and we are grateful that they were with us! Awesome personalities and very professional! More...

First Class Events completely "won" our wedding back in November 2013. Not a doubt in my mind. They were on time, completely flexible, and knew exactly what I needed. I had a very exact timeframe for each song, they were very sure of that and played exactly what my wife and I both wanted during the ceremony, cocktail hour, and dinner time. During the dance section, they followed my rules specifically and played requests and some of my more special dance segments, even going as far as to compliment me on my selections. Everyone who attended the wedding said the music was fantastic and I can't thank First Class Events more for those compliments. More...

Dave and his team at First Class Events were just that - first class! Ryan came and played for our company Christmas Party and he played a great mix of popular, holiday, and dance music. We were literally dancing until time ran out! I would recommend FCE for any party, wedding, or special event. They simply cannot be beat! More...

Thank you so much to Dave and his team at First Class Events for making our wedding so perfect! They managed our DJ for the reception, the cocktail hour music, a harpist for our ceremony, set up our officiant, set us up with a photobooth, set us up with videography, and helped me in the wedding planning process.

Our guests could not stop raving about the awesome party we had thanks to our DJ and the photobooth. They made everything seem so effortless on their part, which made it so that we could really enjoy our own wedding. There are not enough words of gratitude that I can say for these awesome people!

FCE made our special day amazingly unforgettable. I couldn't believe it turned out as beautiful as it did. The service was excellent. The beach set up and theme was perfect.

We met this vendor at a bridal show, won the door prize and decided to book them after receiving a recommendation from another one of our vendors (not to mention, they were not pushy like some of the others we met). Everyone we spoke to were very polite, knowledgeable, and very professional. The DJ that we had for the wedding (Johnny Be Good) was not the one we originally thought...and it was certainly a pleasant surprise!! Johnny had called us a few nights before to give us a run down of what to expect...personally, I was a bit skeptical. Much to our surprise, Johnny did everything he said he was going to and much more!! In the midst of Johnny coordinating the details of our wedding/reception as it was taking place, my husband noticed from across the room, Johnny serving me hors d'oeuvres after our photos...it was then he realized that we had nothing more to do but to enjoy the rest of the most wonderful day of our lives. My husband and I were very impressed with him and would absolutely recommend First Class Events anytime. We also had a videographer, I wasn't sure about it in the beginning...my husband talked me into it. I am very glad we decided to have one made. They captured some of the most wonderful parts of the evening and it was beautifully made...again very impressive. In fact, we liked it so much that we've ordered several copies for those in our wedding party!! More...

First Class Events far exceeded my expectations as a bride! I didn't have to worry about a thing! They provided an archway (chuppa), chairs, chair covers and bows, and a DJ. They moved all the chairs from our beach ceremony into the reception. They were fast, professional, and efficient. I spoke with our DJ, Mark, a couple days before the wedding and he was great! He was calming and even gave great advice to just enjoy our day! Everything was perfect! I highly recommend First Class Events! More...

I had a videographer already set to come to my June 2nd wedding. A month before the wedding I was not able to use my original DJ- First Class Events had someone for me and saved the day! The DJ did an excellent job facilitating the entire evening. His name was Jerome. For a crowd that (for some reason) didn't want to get up and dance- they did! He was very professional and would highly recommend him for any event. The videographer did a great job as well (Ron K) and stayed with us for everything we did.

Words cannot express how wonderful everything went with First Class Events. The beach ceremony set up was absolutely perfect. We got married on Siesta Key beach and the white chairs, decorations, and chuppa made for gorgeous pictures! They supplied a bag pipper for the ceremony and it made for a quite emotional ceremony. As for the reception, the Dj did a great job at keeping the flow of events and most importantly, EVERYONE danced! I mean, even my 70 yr old Great Aunt was dancing! I'm one of 4 friends in our group that got married this year and they all said that they've never seen a crowd all dance, all night like they did at our wedding. Thank you First Class Events, you guys really out did yourselves!!! More...

I am so glad we got a video of our wedding! We were debating because of cost, but ultimately it was such a good decision. David Flom was the videographer and he is very professional and respectful . He and his son blended into the background so we hardly noticed them, yet we still got impressive video coverage of our wedding. David assured us to relax and enjoy our time without worrying about the video. We had an outdoor wedding at the beach, so some of the wording of our toasts were faint, but overall I felt like they listened to what I wanted and we are extremely happy with our video. Thanks David! More...

We had a great experience with First Class Events for our wedding reception. The cost was reasonable and they allowed us to finance which was a huge help with all the other wedding expenses we had to consider. Our DJ was prompt, professional, and knew how to get people on the floor. They offer online forms so you can fill out your requests and timeline before the event. The owner of the company called us two weeks before our wedding to firm up the plans and our DJ called us the week of the wedding to nail down the details (e.g., how to pronounce our bridal party members names for introductions, timeline of the events, etc.). During the reception, he played EVERY SONG that I filled out on my Request form. He also made it so everyone had a great time, even if they weren't dancing, by getting them involved in the bouquet/garter toss and cake cutting. he gave our honored bridal party members a pep talk before they gave their speeches, which they told me they REALLY appreciate. He even played one last song AFTER the "requested" last song at the special request of the groom. He helped us create memories that we will cherish for the rest of our lives and we are THRILLED with our decision to hire First Class Events for our wedding. We still have friends and family contacting us two months after to tell us what a great time they had at the reception! More...
