Hi there! Welcome to the Luke & Ashley blog, a journal about our lives, our beautiful couples, and their stories we get to tell. Stay a while and do say hello if you please!
Being in the wedding industry, we have seen some stuff! We have witnessed terrible DJ’s who call the wrong names, have awful sound equipment, or just don’t care. It sends shivers down my spine when I think about these things. I am sure that we all can relate and have our own stories to share.
These are the ones that keep the party going. Their equipment works seamlessly and of course are team players with the other vendors of the night. These guys and girls you want to rave about. They are what make the party and they deserve some recognition.
We have been fortunate to work some amazing entertainment this past couple of years. Listening to them bring the party usually ends up with me on the dance floor at least some point in the night. Also, what I love about these guys and gals below is that even if the crowd are not the party type, even if the older crowd would rather sit and have a conversation than dance, they still bring it all. They care about you and your wedding guests.
This list is in no particular order. We have worked alongside each one of these teams and we will continue to recommend them to all our couples!

It’s the moves, spandex, and hair metal from the 80’s, performed by the only band manly enough to wear more makeup than your mom. A Tëaze show is a glimpse back in time, an authentic tribute to rocks most outrageous era. Playing the greatest party anthems from Bon Jovi to Van Halen, with stage moves Poison wouldn’t dare attempt.If you long for the days when the grass was green, the girls were pretty (and so were the guys), let Tëaze pour their sugar on you.
