I wish our other vendors had put as much thought and care into their pre-event process as Auriary. From our first interactions, Auriary knew what we were going to ask next. The reception itself went beautifully, and everyone from our best man (who’s a DJ) to my grandparents talked about the amazing sound quality and stunning video images. We highly recommend Auriary 😊.

Our DJ canceled on us two weeks before our wedding. It almost sent me into a tailspin. My fiancé frantically called the other DJs that we had considered months before and none of them could make it. Then I found Auriary. Working with Blaise, we were able to quickly get back on track. He knew exactly what we were looking for, had the songs we wanted, and even brought a lot of new ideas about the staging and lighting that were absolutely awesome. Our guests raved about the entertainment. And our photographer complimented Auriary for its partnership in ensuring the lighting didn’t interfere with the candid photos she was taking during our reception. I would have paid twice as much for Auriary because of the peace of mind and the quality of the entertainment. Reliable and artistic!
