August 24, 2026Excellent DJ
We are so pleased by DJ Mahdi’s experience. He was on time, very polite and respectful, took requests and played a perfect selection of music for our block party. Would definitely use him again and plan to refer him to our friends.

August 22, 2026Fantastic Event!
My experience with Black Box Entertainment was excellent. Alex arrived early to set up and ensure all was ready to go in our event space (school gym for a school dance), and he provided the absolute perfect vibe for our students. There was great communication right from the day we booked, and it was a top-tier experience from start to finish. I’d highly recommend Black Box Entertainment for a wide variety of event types, and they’ve earned a repeat customer on this end!

Alex with Entertainment Box was fantastic! He went above and beyond to keep the crowd engaged and the energy going throughout the entire event. He was incredibly responsive and flexible, even accommodating impromptu requests during the party without missing a beat\. He truly understood the vibe of the event and helped make it a great experience for everyone. Professional, easy to work with, and someone I will definitely be using again!

August 3, 2026INCREDIBLE!
Alex arrived on time and fully prepared to lead an amazing Karaoke birthday party for my 7 year old daughter. Despite having 35+ second graders, everyone loved Alex and his ability to help curate a special event for the kids. We will be using them again soon!

Hi Jennifer!
Thank you so much for the kind words — and for trusting us with your daughter's special day! We had an absolute blast leading the karaoke party, and we're so glad to hear everyone (even those 35+ second graders!) had a great time. 🎤🎉
Making the event special for the kids was our pleasure. We'd love to work with you again anytime — whether it's another birthday, a family gathering, or anything in between.
Thanks again for choosing Black Box Entertainment & Hospitality!
