I highly recommend Sara and Chris. They provided a great mix of live music and dj'ing for a reasonable price. Our wedding went off without a hitch since they were very easy to work with.
Thank you Sara and Chris.

We couldn't be happier with our decision to use Castles in The Sky as our wedding DJ! Chris and Sarah were a pleasure to work with from the very beginning of our planning process all the way through until the conclusion of our event. Even though some changes had to be made to our original plans due to Covid, they were extremely accommodating and kept everything running smoothly. They did an amazing job reading our crowd and kept our dance floor going, despite having a smaller crowd.
We loved that they not only were able to DJ our reception, but also were able to play beautiful live music for our ceremony and cocktail hour (and all at a great price)! We would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a DJ in the area.

Chris and Sarah provided the “best DJ party I have ever been to” according to my daughter Nili, who’s Bat Mitzvah we celebrated. It had the right number of games, special line dances, and the perfect music selection. The karaoke was phenomenal. Finally Chris and Sarah had the fun spirit and magnetism to energize the party and get the kids rockin.
You were both such pleasures to work with. Thank you both!

Wow, thank you so much for this kind review. It was a joy working with you and your wife and Nili was so sweet! Hope to see you all in the future!

Blown away. These two words genuinely can’t say enough about these guys. Our wedding on March 20th was anything but normal, but Chris and Sarah of Castles in the Sky made sure the live music and DJ set was above and beyond what we could have expected. Their deep love for what they do and for music itself was evident throughout the entire process. While putting everything together, Sarah and Chris asked detailed questions to make sure the ceremony and reception were exactly what we wanted. Some of the questions I had never even thought of, but they knew exactly how to make the event flow music-wise. They were very communicative in the time leading up to the wedding too, which we absolutely appreciated. The day of, they were early and ready with their setup well before guests started arriving. Sarah provided live acoustic guitar and singing for the ceremony while Chris made sure the sound was on point. (My husband is a musician too so the sound quality was VERY important and Chris definitely delivered.) Sarah’s voice though! The passion and soul in her voice provided the most romantic atmosphere as my parents walked me down the aisle. Castles in the Sky took our extremely random song requests for the reception and used their professional experience to help them all make sense together. As an emcee, Chris kept the energy up and was extremely personable as we’d hoped our DJ would be! The lights they provided created an energetic atmosphere, which I wasn’t sure could even happen for a micro wedding! Castles in the Sky maintained complete professionalism while being two of the most personable people my now-husband and I have ever met. I seriously thought about how much I would love to be friends with them! There is no doubt in my mind that I want to hire them again. The whole experience with them was phenomenal and I’m already hoping that we can have another event just so we can be around their DJ skills and musicianship. Like I said, Castles in the Sky blew us away!
