    Adrianne and Leann coordinated a beautiful ceremony and reception. Adrianne and her team are punctual and professional. I had the opportunity to work closely with Adrianne in a short time and she was responsive and receptive to all of my ideas and comments. She was a true blessing to have. She is attentive to detail and schedule by maintaining a mindset of staying one step ahead, limiting any worries I had.

We will happily share your information and gladly recommend you with great confidence.

    Vickie and Anthony Butler

    I love this group of people. They are very professional, they have great communication skills, and above all they made sure my special day ran fluently without any hiccups. I can't thank Mrs. Adrianne enough. She helped me in so many ways on the wedding day and the staff was amazing. They truly went above and beyond to get any and every shot imaginable. I love how Mrs. Adrianne let the photographers and videographers put their vision to work. I love how the DJ adjusted to play to the crowd. I have zero complaints and I am happy that I have found such a reliable and trustworthy group to do business with.

    Micaela W.

    I would highly recommend using Skillzplus for all of your event needs! They have great communication in planning to ensure everything goes as planned. They have a very professional staff that assisted in the setup beforehand, and cleanup after the event. The DJ's were great, dressed in costume, and made sure that all the guests were having a fun time! Everyone at our event complimented the DJ's, so have no hesitation in choosing them to make your next party successful, they won't let you down!



    Michael H.

    Yall...I cannot say enough about this company. Adrienne was a lifesaver! She kept us both sane and ensured that everything ran smoothly. Any problems...she took care of it...we just pivoted and went with it. My husband had taken my wedding shoes to the hotel accidentally and had left his cuff links at home...she grabbed a key and took off to get them...even braved the deadly chihuahua at my house to save the day! Leanne was amazing too! She decorated my cake with the flowers for me since I had to get ready. And the DJ service was top notch. Professional, competent, creative and personable!

    Rene Coleman

    Thank you so much for making our wedding so special. You guys did an amazing job!! I loved that you were punctual and even early to make sure you captured everything we wanted at the wedding. You guys went above and beyond to make sure my husband and I had everything we needed even though you were there just as videographers! We cant wait to see the video but we already know it will be amazing!!!!

    Vishwa G.

    Simply Amazing! Had a wonderful 50 year wedding anniversary! Skillzplus Entertainment hands down was the best! We couldn't have picked a better company for such a special occasion! Will recommend and use again! Highly
    recommended. A++



    Val S.

    I hired Adrianne and her team to DJ and do some decorating for the day of my wedding/reception. She went above and beyond to make sure everything went well. But...when she discovered our ceremony had to be moved due to bad weather, she made sure our ceremony was everything we could have dreamed of and then some. I'm so appreciative to her and her team and can not thank them enough

    Jessica B.

    They are the best!! I used Skillzplus for an officiant and he literally did anything and everything I needed. If I wanted to change something in the wedding script he did it right away and emailed the script just a few hours later. He will make change after change if You ask him to. He makes your wedding perfect! His wife is also an amazing coordinator. My rehearsal ran so smoothly because of her. Not only did he officiate the wedding but he takes care of the marriage license and everything. All I had to do was go pick up my license from the courthouse a week before the wedding, give it to him during rehearsal, and he finalizes everything else for you. I would choose them over and over again if I had to! I wouldn't have changed a thing! Thank you Skillzplus for helping make my wedding day perfect!

    Kristen R.

    Would recommend 1000 times. I was not the most organized bride, and personal issues ended up making my wedding a little...dramatic. But they never missed a beat. The photo booth, DJ, and videographer were phenomenal. But Adrianne was invaluable. She showed up early and took care of everything. I didn't worry about a single thing on my wedding day. It was literally the most carefree and beautiful day of my life, because she took care of ALL of the tiny details for me. I was able to enjoy my big day so much more because she jumped in and kept everything SO ORGANIZED. All of the problems happening in the background didn't ever make their way to me. It was without a doubt the BEST day of my life. All of my guests even said "who were the people in the blue shirts? They were so organized and working like crazy!

    Blaklee R.

    These guys did a great job at our wedding! Top notch service for a great price. There was lots of communication from the photographer and the DJ before and after the wedding . We had several meetings to ensure we were all on the same page and the music was what we wanted. Once they got to our venue they were energetic and excited (they tried to get the crowd to dance but my guests were being so lame! haha) . The turnover time for the photos was very short and I was able to have them two weeks after the event. I could not have been any happier with my experience and Adrienne did a great job making sure we were taken care of . They also sent us a very sweet gift after the wedding that really was the cherry on top of everything. Thank yall so much for making our big day so special!
