I loved the DJ, he was excellent. When I spoke to him on the phone and then seeing him at my wedding it was clear he know what I wanted. photographer was also really good.

“Absolutely amazing!!! Seriously the best in the business. My husband, family could not get over how he maneuvered (quickly and discreetly) during the ceremony to make sure he captured all shots. The drones were amazing too!! He flew the drones across the venue and captured the perfect day!! He worked like a dynamic team with our photographer. I’ve only seen the highlight video so far and I was blown away!! He captured the BEST views of our venue. The editing was just perfect. Kept it real but also very cinematic style. The level of service from Randy and his team are beyond my highest expectations. Randy personally and promptly responds to emails (we did everything via email and phone since we planned our wedding from out of state). Stephanie in his office is fantastic too! I was blown away not only by how talented and professional Randy is, but also found my ring bearer’s pillow… not only saved it for me but also shipped it to me!! Overall, one of the best decisions we made for our wedding is hiring Celebrations of Tampa Bay. We couldn’t be happier!!!” -Katya Torres-David wdg 12.06.14 at the Rusty Pelican

“Words can’t express how amazing Randy/videographer was! Between the drone and the projector and all the different cameras set up, I know our video will be amazing. Our guests were raving and said they couldn’t believe their eyes when they walked into the reception and footage from the ceremony was already playing! Just amazing!!! I don’t know any other videographer that has that capability around here. Without a doubt completely happy!!!” -Lindsey Itzkowitz-Sullivan wdg 12.20.14 at Bella Collina Country Club, Montverde, FL.

“It was such a pleasure to work with them from beginning to end. Everything came together perfectly. They made me feel so comfortable and listened all of my thoughts and answered all of my questions they were able to capture all of our special moments . I cannot say enough wonderful things about celebrations of Tampa Bay! They envisioned my wedding the exact same way I did and made my video absolutely spectacular and romantic. Throughout the video there was moments he wanted to cry and others we wanted to laugh it was the perfect combination of our day and I love! I couldn’t have asked for more beautiful video of our wedding.” -Carolyn Hartman-Woodward 11.16.14 at Rusty Pelican

“Our photographer was amazing! He had a wonderful personality and lots of familiarity with our getting ready space and our wedding location. It was truly a celebrity type experience as we did our first looks before the ceremony and got great bridal party shots after the ceremony taking advantage of the sunset on the beach. He was able to capture some amazing shots!
Dave & Randy were able to capture extraordinary footage of our day. This was a splurge because I wasn’t 100% sure I wanted to pay additional for this service but I had read numerous reviews saying there’s just something about the live capture to be able to relive the day. I’m so glad we did! The footage of my family dancing and partying is priceless!
DJ- Randy was our DJ for our night and he was all we could have hoped for! Again going back to the very detail specific- my husband and I gave Celebrations a complete list of songs we wanted to hear with CDs for each part of our day- pre- ceremony, ceremony, dinner, and party. He easily wove the songs we chose throughout the night. Although our music choice was very neo-soul, jazz and old school RnB he was able to tailor the flow to our guests. We had a ball!
All in all- both my husband and I were extremely proud of the work of the Celebrations team. They truly are the best at what they do and made our so very special day the CELEBRATION we wanted it to be and so much more! Thank You!!” -Anjoli Smith-Hill wdg 09.21.14 at the Grand Plaza.

Celebrations of Tampa Bay were helpful through the entire process of planning my ceremony and reception. My DJ was Chance, he was always on point. I knew that I was in great hands from the moment that we spoke and went over every aspect of the ceremony and reception. I would tell anyone to go to Celebrations of Tampa Bay for all of your wedding DJ needs. -Amber Lamar-Anderson wedding 10.18.18 at Hunters Green Country Club (DJ-Chance)

“Celebrations of Tampa Bay. I cant thank you enough for all that you did! I feel I worked with about 5 people and each one was great to work with! Stephanie was the one I worked with the most throughout the weeks and she really made me feel secure that everything was going to be fine. Anytime I had any questions or concerns she was always there to listen and give me tips. Rob the dj I loved that guy so much! He just couldn’t have been any better, he always played the best songs, his variety fit everyone’s taste from the young generation to the older, he was very flexible with the schedule and to not spoil it for other brides, there is something he did that no one expected but we are so glad it happened!!! Video by Dave. when I received the dvds, my heart skipped a beat… I felt like I was watching a Disney movie, I just cant describe how great the video came out. I am officially addicted to my wedding movie :). Last but not least Joe the photographer. He was excellent. He was a really nice guy but you can also tell he was there to get the job done, the pictures prove that point! Thank you Celebrations of Tampa Bay for making my dreams come true. I wish the wedding wasn’t over but at least I have something to always remind me of that special day thanks to you!” -Jennifer Ravelo-Bell wdg 09.27.14 at St Pete Beach Community Center (Photographer-Joe/ Videographer-Dave / DJ-Rob / Uplighting-Stephanie)

“We chose Celebrations of Tampa Bay for our Videography. They were helpful, flexible, approachable, and were a pleasure to work with. From Randy to Stephanie, to every single person that we met, we were extremely satisfied with our wedding day experience. They accommodated last minute changes to our contract with ease, and were willing and capable to manage our large wedding of over 650 guests. The two videographers arrived to myself and my grooms getting ready sites very early and captured beautiful moments between us and our closest family and friends. They were receptive to our needs on the day of the wedding and were so easy to work with.

We can’t say enough good things about Randy and how AMAZING he was! He was very helpful at working with us from the beginning. He arrived early to the venue to take some footage of us getting ready and caught some of those most amazing moments that I (as the bride) would have never noticed. He was extremely professional the entire day and worked wonderfully with our other vendors. Randy put up a slide show during the reception of pictures he took all through the day and our guests got to see what was happening “behind the scenes” while the wedding party was getting ready!! It really helped make our wedding special!!!!
I teared up when I seen photos of my husband getting ready! We loved the highlight video that he put out on YouTube!!! All of our friends and family raved about how well it came out and enjoyed reliving the day! And even though we failed to mention which songs we wanted to use in our full length video, Randy was very accommodating and changed them at our request without charging anything additional. Celebrations is a GREAT investment and we HIGHLY recommend their videography. -Matt Pleus wdg 06.08.14 at Palace Grand (videographer-Randy)

Thanks to you & your staff (Stephanie) for providing us (Vivine & Donald) with most excellent service.

I will definitely use your service again, and to also recommend your excellent service to others. Please tell your Photographer & Videographer a big “Thank You”. We are very happy with their performance. Thanks again -Vivine Nigro wdg 05.24.14 at Pebble Creek Golf Club (photographer-Eric/ Videographer-Dave)
They were amazing. During the wedding/reception I hardly noticed them, and I was afraid we wouldn’t get good shots. Nothing could have been further from the truth! Both the posed and candid shots are beautiful. The video they made was also great. They have the whole ceremony. The video also included interview with the guests (not something we talked about beforehand, but I was so happy to see that surprise on the video), and a highlights version with their own music behind. I really liked the very majestic music they had playing over the video. The videographer was packing up at the end of the night (already 30 minutes after the time they were paid for), but my father was about to sing karaoke. I asked him if he could stay and video that one last thing for me. He did, and the last shot of the video is my dad finishing Love Me Tender and then kissing my mom. Such a sweet moment! I could not have been more please with the photography and videography the company provided. When my sister gets married, she plans to use them as well. -Lara Barton wdg 07.17.14 at USF Embassy Suites (photographer-Johhnna/videographer-Randy)

Celebrations of Tampa Bay were amazing and offer packages that you can get up to three vendors in one (ie Photographer, videographer, DJ). It was great to have one stop shopping. Randy was wonderful to work with and is very attentive to his email. Our photographers for the evening- Kristen and Joe- took amazing photos. It is great that Celebrations of Tampa Bay give the bride and groom the negatives on a CD so we could have more prints made on our own if we wanted. We got the edited video which was amazing. Tyler & Randy was our videographers and most of the time we didn’t even know they were video taping so there were some fun candid parts to our video. Randy also was our DJ and the music was perfect. He fit our must play songs in but kept the flow going all night. Overall it was an unforgettable night and I am so glad we have great photos and videos as memories! -Tara Higgins wdg 03.29.14 at Lowry Park Zoo (Photographers-Kristen & Joe / videographers-Tyler & Randy / DJs-Randy)

I found Celebrations of Tampa Bay on this very site. I was impressed with their reviews, quality of their photos and prices. My husband is former military and they offer a discount so we saved more money. They also offered us a lighting package that was significantly less than what our venue was going to charge. I would’ve loved to have our engagement photos with them as well but we couldn’t agree on a time that would be best for the photographer, my husband and myself (we went with another photographer). Joe photographed our wedding and I was amazed at his patience, professionalism and attention to detail. My wedding consisted of people from areas of New York and the Midwest and he was able to get everyone to cooperate to produce amazing pictures. Stephanie in their office is a master of her craft as well. Having COTB as your wedding photographer is the right choice. -Shannon Lambel wdg 04.12.14 at A La Carte Event Pavilion (Photographer Joe/Uplighting-Stephanie)

We are the couple who decided early on to not hire a videographer so we could afford to invite more family and friends. It wasn’t until a last minute deal from our venue that I finally was able to get my husband to agree. The result of this last minute decision is something that we both are very passionate about. You NEED Celebrations of Tampa at your wedding! When asked by couples if we have any tips, Celebrations of Tampa is the first thing we both say. Within 2 weeks we had a clip of our first look, a highlight video and a video of our bridal party dance and they looked like something out of a Hollywood video. The quality of the picture was light years better than any of the video our family captured. The editing was seamless. The attention to details from the venue and our theme was perfect. I literally get chills watching his work. He found this incredible Celtic song to play over our video highlight. It is slow as you hear our minister speak in the beginning with shots of the venue, as it picks up you see shots of us getting ready, first look, walking down the aisle, then he adds clips of more audio, then the music picks up and you see shots of us dancing that makes it look like we were actually dancing to the drums and it is seriously beyond anything I ever imagined. From the couple that thought you could get by without the video, we were wrong. You need it and deserve the best. Celebrations of Tampa is a call you should make right away. -Cindi McMillian wdg 09.20.13 at Cross Creek Ranch.(videographer-Randy

I did the trio package: photographer, videographer, and DJ. They were outstanding! I didn’t even think I would really care to have a video of the wedding and that pictures would be just fine. However, when I received my two summary videos and the hour long video entire event, I could not be happier! They did an OUTSTANDING job and I will have that to remember forever. How cool!
The DJ, Randy, was awesome as well. He knew how to get the crowd on the dance floor and had great transitions. You want people to be experienced and know what they are doing so you don’t have to worry about a thing. Well we had people on the dance floor the whole night, and I didn’t have to even think. I enjoyed everything because I was in good hands with people that were great at coordinating with the reception venue and working together to make sure everything went smoothly… and it did! Again, I could not be happier with ALL of their services. An awesome company that is truly there to make your day special and perfect without you lifting a finger. -Christen Downing-Ornella wdg 11.09.13 at Madeira Beach/Reception at The Club Treasure Island.

I am familiar with several DJs and videographers in the Tampa Bay Area and very impressed with Randy & Stephanie. Their responses were timely and every request I had was met, wonderful job. The editing was impressive and most definately to my expectations. You have a professional standard which is why I will recommend Celebrations of Tampa Bay.

We had Ashley as our photographer and Diego as our videographer. Both were professional and wonderful to work with.

My husband and I had our Destination wedding at Sand Key Park, Clearwater Florida and it was everything we dreamed of. We found Celebrations of Tampa Bay and they have exceeded all of our expectations if not more. They are very professional. They work hard to please each and every one of their clients. Every email and every call they got back to me right away. They are super nice and they make sure you get the service you paid for. Ashlee and Nichole shot our wedding and our pictures turned out amazing. Randy is an amazing videographer. Our highlight video brought tears to my eyes. He puts all his hard work into what he does and provides you more than you could have dreamed of. I have not one bad thing to say about this wedding company. I am very pleased and I will promise you that you will be too. I have done my research and they are the best I have came across in the Florida area. Very professional and you will get more than you pay for. What makes this this company even more unique is they are more about pleasing their clients rather than getting bpaid and providing you will horrible product. They have made my wedding that much better. I hsve a beautul video to watch to look back on as well as gorgeous photos..” -Danielle Shury wdg 10.05.13 at Sand Key Park (Videographer-Randy/Photographer Ashlee & Nicole)

I used Celebrations of Tampa Bay after a friend referred them to me. I used the all-inclusive package and got their DJ, Photographer, and Videographer. The DJ was amazing!! He actually got on the Dance floor and danced with us! Super fun and all the guests had a blast. His name was Chance. Our photographer was Ashley and she was wonderful. She had many creative ideas! We are so excited to see our pictures. She was also quick, which is nice because we were anxious to get into the reception afterwards. Our videographer was Dave. He followed by Ashley’s side and captured everything as she did. We cant wait to see our wedding video as well. we also got a projector screen to display at the reception were we played our “love story.” It basically just showed the whole day of us getting ready that the videographer was able to capture. It was really neat and the guests seemed to enjoy it. Something to watch during dinner. . Randy is the Owner and Stephanie is the asst. manager and they were both wonderful to work with. Randy really worked with our budget/ payments. Stephanie would make sure we got the most bang for our buck, so we really did get a great deal out of it all. HIGHLY recommend using all of their services!! -Gabrielle Humiston-Feldman wdg 5.05.13 at Island Way Grille, Clearwater Beach (photographer-Ashlee/Videographer-Dave/DJ-Chancey)

Celebrations of Tampa is amazing! Ashlee and Randy were both so nice and professional. They showed up early to our event and captured all of the aspects of our wedding that we wanted in our photos and videos. We also used their uplighting services which added such a nice touch to the room. They went above and beyond from start to finish. The projection video that was played at the reception of the ceremony was such a hit with our guests. We received our photos and videos about a month after our wedding which is a lot faster than most companies. I couldn’t be happier with my choice to use this vendor for my wedding! -Amber Lastra-Casellas wdg 8.16.13 at Renaissance Tampa International Plaza (Photographer-Ashlee/Videographer-Randy)

We hired Celebrations to take care of all our wedding documentation/entertainment.
From our first contact, Randy was extremely prompt in his responses and thorough in our requests. He worked very well with our contact at the hotel, working together to make sure everything went smoothly. Ashlee was our photographer and took some fabulous shots. She was very easy to get along with and we all felt comfortable around her. Randy and the video- Wow. He will sacrifice his body for the shot. We teased one of our bridesmaids that she kicked him bc he moved so quickly to change a camera angle. Unfortunately I do not know the name of the other videographer but he was very friendly and clearly loves what he does. Randy definitely takes pride in his work. I cried when I saw the short videos on youtube. He truly captures the special moments. We would recommend Celebrations with no hesitation. Definitely an advantage to have one vendor take care of so many aspects; everything just runs so smoothly…-Nicole Martin wdg at The Don CeSar 4.22.13.

We hired CTB for our December wedding to do our music, lighting, and video. We were looking for someone knowledgeable of Carribean/ West Indian/ African music, as we had two different cultures at the wedding. From the beginning CTB was very professional providing detail forms for us to share our vision and preferences. Randy was our DJ/Videographer and he incorporated music we provided very well. As I dressed in the hotel, I could hear music playing from the beach. It was a nice calming element to my getting-ready. One of my family members who is a part-time DJ remarked how good the music flowed. Randy worked out a good mix for our slow and fast dance and somehow managed to capture them both. Randy was also very patient as our Reception timeline got moved around a lot!! He was flexible and accommodated requests throughout the night. Music is a big part of my culture and he had everyone on the dance floor most of the night. He even guided us in the electric slide, a fun family favorite. The uplights were well placed and added a nice pop to the reception room. I was very impressed with the video as well. He captured moments before the ceremony with my dad and I and other key moments of the wedding, all while managing to remain out of the photographers’ path. We mainly wanted the ceremony but he took footage of our venue, the sunset, guest comments, and even our first dances. All our guests keep telling us how much fun they had. Thanks for helping to make our day a blast! -Chevone Hall-Siewe(wdg 12.27.13 at Grand Plaza (DJ-Randy/Videographer(ceremony only) Randy)

We gave him playlists of songs we wanted played as well as what kind of crowd would be there so he could know how to keep the party going. On the day of my wedding I was blown away! It was a party the entire night, he knew exactly what to play at all times of the night. At one point he joined in dancing, gave out wigs and maracas…it was a BLAST!

Celebrations can provide photography, videography, and DJ/lighting services and does them all very well. They did first look photos with us and the experience was amazing. They captured every wonderful emotion of that moment. We got our pictures and DVD in a very timely manner afterwards and the quality of both were great. The lighting at our reception was exactly what we wanted and the DJ tailored the early part of out reception to match the travel theme of our wedding. After that he got the party started and made sure that the dance floor was never empty and that all the reception events flowed perfectly. With package deals to get all 3 services the value is certainly there without any sacrifice in quality.

“I was a little nervous using Randy because it was a package deal (photo, DJ and videographer) but I’m so glad I did! He was so interactive and on point with everything he did. He had EVERYONE from 4 thru 83 up dancing and having a good time! A friend getting married in 2013 came up to me at the wedding and asked for Randy’s information because she was so impressed! I would highly recommend using Randy!” -Danielle Ludwig-Bourne(bride) Wedding at First Baptist Church St Pete /Reception at St Pete Womens Club.(Photographer-Stacey / Videographer – Kevin / DJ-Randy)

For the day of, the videographer we were given arrived on time, ready to go. He was also very friendly and personable and busted his butt the entire time we had contracted him for. Guests even commented how they were amazed at how he ran around to get every shot he could, trying not to miss a thing. What great service he provided and worked very well around our photographer’s needs and requests as well. Many people thought they were working together because they were flawless. -Brittany Milliken-Medina (Bride) Wedding at St Timothys Catholic/Rusty Pelican. (Videographer-Dave)

“OH MY GOSH LOVE THE PICTURES SO MUCH!!! Thankyou so much for everything, you guys are the Best! – Courtney Clem-Burgess (Bride) Wedding at St Leo Abbey / Lange Farm (photographer Ashlee/videographer Dave/DJ Randy)
This one of the longest relationships I have had with a vendor here in Tampa Bay (spanning over 15 years). The core of this entertainment enterprise is owner Randy Markham. Celebrations is the pioneer of the multiple service approach for weddings offering great discounts if you book dj, photography and videography as a bundled package. Randy is one of my favorite djs, but his talents as a videographer/editor, is unsurpassed. He is always in demand and more often than not, he is booked way in advance…Whenever videography is requested by a client, I solely recommend Celebrations because of Randy’s personal involvement in the editing process. This is undoubtedly one of the highest quality vendors for this service. Susan (Catering By Robert)

We were blessed to have Randy from Celebrations of Tampa Bay. He was very helpful the whole day. He worked very well with our photographer and helped get those unforgettable shots we dreamed of. He acted quickly to capture the moments during those precious sunset hours. He even played highlight clips for us during the reception! We would definitely recommend this company to any couple who wants to capture all of their special moments for years to come! -Adoree & Gregory Peto married at Grand Plaza St Pete Beach (photographer=Joe / Videographer=Diego/DJ=Randy)

The Knot Reviews (posted under DJ Reviews) 7.22.12
Randy, the DJ, Todd the photographer and the videographer(Jacob) did an amazing job. Randy got everyone on the dance floor dancing. The photographs were taken by Todd, who arranged al the shots effortlessly and the pictures are flawless. Finally, the video is like a story of our day. There are so many shots of everyone at the event and the music that he set in the background is perfectly matched to the actions in the video. I am so pleased and cannot say enough about Celebrations and their crew. It was so worthwhile to have all three services by professionals who knew each other and collaborated -Marilyn & Joe Raley wedding at St Patricks Catholic Church, Sarasota (photographer=Todd/videographer=Diego/DJ=Randy)
Wedding Wire Review Posted 7.1.2012
I used Celebrations for my May 12, 2012 wedding. We had the combo package for the DJ/Photographer, both of whom were awesome! We had Todd for the photographer, who understood the look I wanted (I’m very picky about pictures) and understood what angles would make people look best. I’m prone to having a double chin look in pictures, which Todd managed to avoid. Katie & Bill Perri wedding at Palmetto Riverside Bed & Breakfast
