What Clients Say
These Are Not Sound Bites.
These Are Real Nights.
Every review below came from a real couple, a real corporate team, or a real event host who trusted Black Diamond with one of the most important nights of their lives. We do not curate the superlatives. We show up, we execute, and our clients do the rest.
This was an elegant night out in Boston meets IBIZA. I have never seen guests rush the dance floor like this. To the point, we had to tell some of them to sit down so we could do parent dances. People literally could not wait to start dancing. We cannot believe this was our wedding. And it would not have been the same without Black Diamond Event Production. People are still messaging us to say this was the best wedding they have ever been to.
PS: for the brides who fear a cheesy reception, this is your team, because they bring the classiest vibes and truly care about your vision.
"We would hire Black Diamond Event Production a million times over. They were somehow able to cover all bases. We were not sure that keeping our 88-year-old grandparents dancing and incorporating our favorite remixes at one event was possible, but David and his team somehow made it happen."

From the Community
Amazing from start to finish
From start to finish, Black Diamond Event Production made planning our wedding entertainment simple and stress-free. Their communication was prompt and clear. They were so thorough and covered things we would not have even thought of. On the day of our wedding, they delivered exactly what we wanted: an upbeat, fun atmosphere that kept our guests engaged and dancing all night. Everything flowed flawlessly, and we could tell they genuinely cared about making our day special.
Packed floor all night
Our wedding DJ was one of the most important decisions for us and we are so glad we chose Black Diamond. Our dance floor stayed packed from start to finish with people of all ages, and so many of our guests told us how impressed they were. They did a great job mixing music, keeping things fun, MCing, and taking our music taste into consideration. Our calls with David leading up to the wedding were also incredibly helpful. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does.
The non-wedding wedding DJ
I would recommend these guys 1000x over. The communication was great with David throughout the planning process and it felt like I was just chatting with a friend. We bonded over the fact that they are a non-wedding wedding DJ, which hit the nail on the head for us. Living on Cape Cod it was hard to find someone who truly understood our vibe, but they absolutely nailed it.
100 stars if I could
I wish I could give Black Diamond and DJ Tavo 100 stars! He was absolutely amazing at our wedding. The dance floor was packed from the reception all the way through the after party. Tavo was incredible to work with. It is so obvious that he loves what he does and wants to provide the best experience possible. I highly recommend the whole Black Diamond team.
Went above and beyond
We used Black Diamond Event Production for our wedding this past weekend and they went above and beyond. DJ Tavo and team captured our vibe completely and the dance floor was packed all night long. The photo booth was outstanding. I highly recommend them for any event. They will bring your vision to life and make your day so special.
Cannot recommend enough
We cannot recommend Black Diamond enough! David was our MC and the team truly helped make our wedding feel like a huge party. The music was spot on, the dance floor was packed all night, and the energy was exactly what we wanted. We also loved all the extras, including the CO2 guns, the giant light-up letters, and the photo booth. So many guests told us it was the best wedding they had ever been to, and a huge part of that was because of Black Diamond.
Seamless with every vendor
David and his team were absolutely amazing. They handled all of the logistics and coordination and worked seamlessly with all of our vendors. Our dance floor was packed the entire night and everyone could not say enough good things about them. They truly made our wedding unforgettable and I highly recommend them.
Music and vibe were exactly what we wanted
We used Black Diamond for our wedding and they were extremely organized and professional. We worked with David and from the very beginning he was great to work with, super responsive and consistently offering helpful recommendations on our timeline, music, lighting, and overall flow. The music and vibe were exactly what we wanted, and we along with all of our guests had such a fun night. We have heard from so many guests that the music was incredible. Highly recommend Black Diamond!
David has created a great team
David has created a great team of entertainers and DJs all while providing service with professionalism and most importantly passion. David brings both experience and charisma to any job he is hired for. His knowledge of music and willingness to collaborate with his clients is what sets him apart from others.
"Not only is this team so talented that it is almost out of this world, they are also good people. People you would want sitting at your table, people you would want in your corner, and people you will want to keep in touch with forever."

Every Kind of Event
We Earn It Across the Board
Weddings
First-ever full reception at the Prudential
This was the first ever full wedding reception at the Prudential Center with this guest count, and they took on the challenge with ease. DJ Buono helped sculpt our entire reception and even gave us the idea to have dinner become more of a performance with our violinist. They immediately welcomed her into the mix and it made for the best time. You would have thought she worked with them nightly.
Bridging generations on the dance floor
We were not sure that both keeping our 88-year-old grandparents dancing and incorporating our favorite SoundCloud remixes at one event was possible, but David and his team somehow made it happen. Our dance floor and music were a top priority, and BDEP came highly recommended by another one of our vendors. From our first call with David, we knew he and his team were the perfect fit.
Classiest vibes, zero cheese
For the brides who fear a cheesy reception, this is your team. They bring the classiest vibes and truly care about your vision. We could barely sit still to eat because we were all dancing in our seats. I have never seen guests rush the dance floor like this. People literally could not wait to start dancing and celebrating. This was our wedding, and we still cannot believe it.
Corporate and Social Events
Production-level thinking
As a news reporter, I can appreciate producing a show, and that is exactly what Black Diamond put on. This was so much more than entertainment. From the first phone call, the excitement and attention to detail was top tier. They coordinated every moving part, understood the room, and delivered something our guests are still talking about weeks later.
Bring your vision to life
They will bring your vision to life and make your day so special. The photo booth was outstanding and the whole team captured our vibe completely. I highly recommend Black Diamond for any event, not just weddings. The professionalism, communication, and execution were all at a completely different level than what we had experienced with other vendors.
The whole package
Black Diamond offered so much more than a DJ. From lighting design to AV to photo booth to overall coordination, they were a one-call solution for everything we needed. Their team communicated clearly throughout planning, showed up early, and exceeded expectations on the night of the event. The value for the level of professionalism was well worth it.
