We absolutely loved working with soundwave DJ and photo!! They are very responsive and made my dance floor dreams come true! The DJ called me before the wedding and we went over “must plays” and “do not plays.” That was very important to me. The dance floor was crowded all night long and guests were chanting for “one more song” when the night was over. Our photos turned out beautiful. Every moment was captured. Truly the night of our dreams! Would most definitely recommend-in fact-several of my friends have used this company and were just as happy!

I can’t speak highly enough about this DJ. We found him through a promotion he was running with our photographers. Our venue was certainly not easy to deal with and was trying to control the entire wedding, cut our speeches short, and was rude to almost all of our vendors. However, Chris fought for us at every turn and made sure we had the best reception experience possible. He was incredibly helpful, punctual, made sure all of our wishes came true, all of the announcements we needed got said, and made the overall experience amazing. I don’t think the dance floor was ever empty at any point during the reception, and this was definitely thanks to the high energy vibes he brings with him. I appreciated him so much for helping execute everything according to our vision and ensuring that we got our dream wedding.

DJ BrianD Is Larger Than Life Entertainment, Your Versatile DJ 4 All Occasions!! 18+ Years In The Wedding, Corporate Event, & Private Party Industry & 27+ Years Spinning Wax 2 CD’s 2 MP3’s! BrianD Began His DJ Career Packing Out Bars & Clubs All Over New England.

His Passion 4 DJ’n Transitioned 2 A Different Clientele, Although His Love 4 Entertaining Has Always Remain The Same!

Brian is one of the best wedding DJs in the business. In the past two years I’ve been to eight different weddings. Brian was the DJ for three of the eight, and the party/reception component of the events was never more fun than when Brian was driving the bus. He is an east coast DJ, but he spun tracks at both of my sister-in-laws’ weddings and as we were searching for a DJ for our own wedding we reached out just to see what he would charge for a wedding in Chicago. Turns out the price was right. Brian traveled to Chicago, MC’d our entire wedding, brought all of the equipment necessary and made our day exceptional in every way. I think there are a few things that really set Brian apart from other wedding DJs. Anyone can stand there and run through a playlist, but Brian went off book a few times to match and capture the energy of the guests. As we were in the midst of the planning process he added zero stress, and just calmly walked us through the process of selecting songs. He had suggestions and recommendations along the way. He even brought an extra speaker so that we could plug our digital piano in and the pianist would be able to play loudly enough. Overall, we can’t recommend Brian highly enough. You will not regret choosing him to DJ at your wedding, party, event. Whatever it is, Brian is a huge value add and a pleasure to work with.

There is no hyperbole when I say that Nate and FLE literally saved our wedding. The power went out at our reception venue halfway through cocktail hour. Nate had brought backup batteries for all his equipment and was able to keep the music and party going despite no electricity (an no air conditioning!) and the venue scrambling to order pizza to feed everyone. We were able to do introductions, first dances and speeches all thanks to his set up. He extended his set and kept the party going despite the crazy turn of events. We are SO GRATEFUL to his preparation and our guests were so complimentary of his professionalism and fun playlist. Thank you!!!!

The singer Karlea was phenomenal and did an amazing job of keeping our guests engaged and entertained. The musicians were all courteous, professional, and exceptionally talented. They dressed appropriately for our wedding theme and many of the guests at the Hawthorne Hotel wanted to take pictures with Karlea in her Twenties attire. In addition to being a wonderful experience, they were also a great value for the price. These are top quality musicians and we paid a reasonable price for the band.

The Hook Club was by far the coolest musicians I was able to find in terms of having an NYC night out vibe, and not a typical "wedding" vibe. We had a bass and guitar duo for our cocktail hour. They were super nice and awesome musicians. It started raining an hour into our cocktails so we had to move inside, and the bassist switched to playing a piano so that we could continue the music inside. Everyone was so impressed by how multi-talented they were!! Loved them and wish we had them play music for more of our reception. Dan, the founder, as well as the rest of their staff were incredibly organized and attentive throughout the planning process. Highly recommend!!

DJ Lou Paris is a Wedding DJ out of the Hudson Valley area of NY, providing an extraordinary service to my clients. From gathering all the important information about your wedding in detail to having emergency plans in place to make sure there are no interruptions. I go the extra mile in everything that is done.

My wife and I had Lou DJ our upstate wedding and it was more than we could have dreamed of. From the beginning, he was nothing but professional. He met with us multiple times prior to the event to go over music selection, flow of the ceremony day etc. His website was very easy to use and allowed us to have a large role in our music selection for the day, even for the reception dance portion. Everything was reviewed at least 3 times to ensure there were no hiccups, and also to make sure we wouldn't have to worry about anything on the ceremony day. On the day, Lou came in very early to setup and his equipment was extremely unobtrusive and sounded amazing. From the ceremony to reception (and especially cocktail hour), the sound was fantastic and there was not a single hiccup (even with an outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour!). His flow through the reception was so smooth - and as a former college radio DJ, his music choice to fill in the gaps between the 'must plays' we sent him were impeccable!!! If you have a big heart for music and want it to be the backbone of any great party while having one of the most professional guys out there - Lou is 100% your guy. Thanks again Lou!!!!

He also has no issue picking the perfect songs to lure people out onto the dance floor and KEEP THEM THERE. also his cocktail hour music was soo fun and dinner music was fantastic. He's also just super flexible if you need to add songs or swap them or change up the schedule. Hes just the best energy and super funny also. He has an encyclopedic knowledge of music and will know and have any song you ever request. And if it just came out like two days ago he can quickly download it also.

Grant was absolutely phenomenal! My husband and I, along with our guests, were blown away by his talent and his exceptional ability to accommodate all of our notes and requests. He worked closely with us to ensure everything was perfect. I highly recommend him for any event or occasion. People are still talking about his performance, and our only regret is that we didn't get to hear him for longer. It was truly magical.

Based in the nation’s capital, DJ D-Mac & Associates changed the wedding DJ game nearly 20 years ago. We continue to innovate, fusing genres, filling dance floors, and bringing smiles to faces. Let's create an unforgettable experience together!

DJ D-Mac provided music for our wedding and couldn't have performed better. DJ D-Mac was friendly, professional, and very easy to work with. We spoke with DJ D-Mac and provided a preliminary list of music tracks, styles, and genres. The music was amazing and exactly what we wanted to hear. Guest also gave us compliments on the music throughout the evening. DJ D-Mac got it perfect. :)

DJ Richie and Detroit Family Entertainment were amazing for our wedding! From the very beginning, Richie was so easy to work with - he responded quickly to every email and text, and was extremely professional and friendly. On the day of the wedding, he arrived on time and did an incredible job keeping the dance floor packed all night long. He played a perfect mix of new and old school hits, and everyone had such a blast dancing to his music. Richie really helped make our wedding ceremony and reception so much fun and memorable. I would highly recommend Detroit Family Entertainment to any couple looking for an energetic and talented DJ to keep their guests entertained!
