DJ Dana did our wedding on 8/31/24 and we highly recommend him! He took into account my wedding playlists, and knew when to play the right songs. It took a lot of stress out of our day. He was very early, and set up with plenty of time to spare. His speaker system and microphones for toasts worked great. He brought his own lights to add to the party and even added some to our sweetheart table to spice it up! He was very thoughtful, and even sang us L-OV-E by Nat King Cole very tastefully and casually while people were finishing dinner. Highly recommend… thank you DJ Dana!

I've never worked with a DJ as good as Drew and his crew. Drew had sent me an email a few weeks before the couples wedding with the reception timeline (a first) and kept me up-to-date with any last minute changes the day of. It is clear by working with Drew how much he loves his job and how much he cares about the couples he works with. He got the crowd going, the dance floor was always packed and he invited the couple up to DJ booth which was so fun for them and also amazing for pictures. If you are looking for a DJ who cares, gets the dance floor going and is easy to work with, BEG Event Group is it. I will be recommending them to all my clients!

Awarded Best of Zola
I recently officiated a wedding that Scott dj'ed and handled the sound for, and I really wanted to send him a special thank you for being such a great professional and great human. I've officiated 6 weddings for friends but this was the first one post-Covid, and Scott's professionalism and flexibility really made a huge difference for me and the anxiety I was feeling after a long lay-off from this sort of thing... making me feel a lot more comfortable and able to relax and enjoy the event and do a really excellent job for the bride and groom. I am confident when it comes to finding the words and performing the ceremony, but worrying about the sound equipment and cues is a big source of stress for me. It's hard to be fully present as an officiant while trying to remember the cues and technical details other DJs kind of just dictated to me. Scott was the first wedding dj who, when I wanted to avoid dealing with a hand mic or that sort of thing, just had the attitude of "no problem, you worry about your job, and I'll make sure you sound great." Instead of "remember these technical details and cues or else the audio will be lousy". And on top of that he just has a really great, encouraging, positive attitude. It's obvious from a mile away he loves what he does, and that making wedding days special is a calling for him and not just a gig or job. His energy radiates into everyone around him. I've been in the military and private healthcare, and I'm just very cognizant of and appreciative of people who have a total mastery of what they do, and a great attitude that makes everyone around them more confident and makes the mission not just more successful but more enjoyable. This is the first time I've been so moved by a wedding vendor's performance and attitude that I tracked them down so I could thank them and write a review for them. Thank you so much Scott, and if you're reading this looking for a wedding dj who is going to do more than spin tracks and run the microphones- somebody who knows and loves weddings and will lend his confidence and positivity and energy to everyone involved- Scott is your man.

Get Down Tonight Entertainment, Inc. was an excellent choice for our wedding DJ. From the first time we spoke with them, their communication was quick, respectful, and they demonstrated a deep knowledge of the industry. On the day of our wedding, DJ Chuck delivered an incredibly fun and enthusiastic performance that kept our guests dancing all night long. He perfectly captured the late 90s/early 2000s vibe we were going for, and his mic work was just right - energetic without being overbearing.

We had so many incredible people and vendors involved with putting on our big shindig/wedding. So the bar is really high when evaluating any one of them individually, but Bill truly was one of our favorites from the beginning. His professionalism, flexibility, and commitment to making our day as fun as possible despite our crowd skewing very old and not very dance-prone on average, as well as FAR too many people bailing RIGHT after dinner (What is that, New England?? The party went until 10 pm. Not that much to ask to stay until the end, and your ONE job as a wedding guest is to make the day as wonderful and fun as possible to the people who have graciously included you.). In any case, he did his best with the small crowd who really showed up for us that day (and didn't dine and dash) and helped us forget about the negative aspects of the day by making it a really fun and rowdy dance party with those who did stay. Thank you, Bill! You are truly a lovely human.

We could not have been happier working with Keith and Alan! Keith was instrumental leading up to the big day in ensuring everything went smoothly. He is so easy to work with and a great communicator when it comes to logistics. We had no worries at all that the music would be a hit at our wedding. Press Play Entertainment was super flexible with song selections and even helped us to play a few traditional Greek songs that meant a lot to my family.

DJ Tay worked with us in the months leading up to the wedding to coordinate instrumental piano covers for our ceremony which turned out beautifully. We also gave him a spreadsheet with songs we definitely wanted to play, others that were maybes and a few not to. He worked off this list but there were still a lot of songs I’d hoped to play that we didn’t hear, and also a handful I hadn’t asked for - but it is what it is. He also brought some great colorful lighting and uplights for the space which really added to the vibe. Overall Taylor did a good job DJ-ing our wedding reception! (Some fun hora photos to share)

Because our ceremony was at the same venue as our reception, he covered our music set for our ceremony as well and ensured everything went smoothly, even providing a microphone for our service. During the reception he doubled as our Master of Ceremonies keeping tabs on the timing of events as to when they should occur. Our guests were very pleased.

I asked some vague requests, like "no typical white people wedding music" (e.g., Don't Stop Believin', etc.) and had drastically different genres for dinner and party portions. THEY UNDERSTOOD THE ASSIGNMENT and beyond. There were actually several songs I wish I knew because I loved them so much but never heard them before, yet they were really catchy and quite the vibe.

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.

I will be working with you directly every step of the way from consultation and planning, to the day of the wedding.

Vibrant was fantastic for our March wedding. They brought amazing energy and class to our event, and guests are still raving about them a month later. The dance floor was packed for the entire evening. Lauren and Marlon are a dynamite lead-singing duo, and the instrumentalists are each incredibly talented. Justin was very responsive and easy to connect with leading up to the day, and accommodated all of our requests and needs with ease. They were also very helpful with recommendations based on extensive experience, and even allowed the bride's sister to play their keyboard for the ceremony, which was an over-and-above request they did not have to agree to. Overall can't recommend this group enough!

We could rave about DJ Thrilla all day long, but in the words of our wedding guests: “Best dance floor we’ve seen in a long time!” It’s been weeks since our wedding and our guests can’t stop talking about how great the music was. Arthur did a great job with the ceremony and cocktail hour, and managed a tricky parent dance section (multiple sets of parents & timing!) We requested a Taylor Swift mashup and he exceeded expectations and made it the highlight of our night. The dance floor was always packed, and Arthur did a great job of taking into account our requests while playing music everyone would enjoy. We opted to use uplighting as well, which looked beautiful during dinner (we chose a warm lighting) and was so fun for the dance floor with flashing lights. By the end of the night, he even had guests asking him to travel to Texas to DJ their wedding! Booking DJ Thrilla was one of the best vendor decisions we made for our wedding and we could not recommend him more!

Jimmy was amazing for our wedding on 9/1/24!! We got married at Owl's Nest, he was able to set up both outside for the ceremony and cocktail hour and inside for the reception. The transition was seamless. We met with him a few weeks before to go over our song selections and preferences and he was so flexible. He encouraged us to email him with any additional requests all the way up until the weekend of the wedding. We really felt like he wanted to make our day perfect for us. Everyone at the wedding was raving about how great he was! He was very in tune with the crowd, it seemed like he knew exactly what we wanted to hear! We couldn't have asked for a better DJ for our day. We had such a blast all thanks to him!

  • Serves Essex, MA

Music is a lifeblood of life's journey: a universal language that invokes emotion and creates memories; and when thoughtfully and passionately curated into a soundtrack, custom-tailored to specifications, preferences and tastes, the outcome is truly magical, noteworthy, and filled with joy, sentiment, and connection. For over 30 years, DJ Denise LaCarubba | Vibeology IA has aligned with clients to create and present soundtracks for weddings, fashion shows, fundraisers, corporate, international and private events.

We met Denise when she DJ'd a friend's wedding and it was the most fun reception I'd ever attended. I knew she HAD to be my DJ if ever I got married! From day 1 of meeting with her for our wedding, it was clear that her goal was to give us the best party of our lives, whatever that looked like to us. She had great advice throughout the entire process and took time to get to know us and what style/vibe we wanted for our reception. Communication is key, and she had the logistics of the reception planned down to the minute. The music portal is very user friendly and it was really fun to think through our music. If you need song advice, she's your gal. She will strictly adhere to your do NOT play list. She gets the guests engaged and is truly a party starter (if that's what you want). Our guests told us they were sore the next morning because they literally never left the dance floor. Many have asked us to do an annual anniversary party and have Denise DJ it. She will become your family DJ for life and we know of at least 2 guests who plan to have her DJ their wedding. She is a lovely human and a STELLAR DJ. You will not regret asking her to DJ your special day! <3

We knew we wanted to work with DJ Nazzy as soon as we started planning our wedding, because he was the DJ at my now-brother-in-law's wedding and did an amazing job. We can now say the same about him about our own wedding. After our detail meeting with him, my Day of Coordinator said his timeline is the most organized she's ever seen from a DJ! On the wedding day, from ceremony music to reception celebration, Nazzy was an absolute rock star! His enthusiasm throughout the night - but especially for the bridal party introductions - really added extra layer of excitement and personal touch to the reception. But where the truly shined was on the dance floor! Nazzy kept the energy high and the party going all night long. Seamless transitions and songs catered to all ages and genres kept everyone on their feet and dancing all night. He worked in some special requests we had with a welcome speech after our first dance, an anniversary dance, a special dance with my dad and cousins, as well as a bouquet dedication for my mom. Nazzy also includes a photo booth in most of his packages, which we and our guests had so much fun with all night long! If you want a wedding DJ who not only manages every aspect of your day with professionalism but also infuses it with enthusiasm and keeps the dance floor packed, look no further than DJ Nazzy! He made our wedding day and night an absolute blast and we would highly recommend him!

With 15 years and over 200 weddings of experience, I have made it a mission to make it more than just showing up and playing music. It’s about making sure the night flows without awkward pauses and confusion, crowd interaction and not hiding “behind the DJ booth” all night. From pre wedding meetings deciding what were going to do and when, guiding you on the best lay out to fit your crowd size and venue their isn’t much I cant help with.

Robert was one of the BEST choices we made for our 2024 wedding! From our first phone call, we knew he was special and would help make our day amazing. His attention to detail, his go with the flow attitude, and comedic timing as an MC made our guests feel comfortable and kept them on the dance floor. We made several changes in the moment and Robert was able to execute perfectly. I can’t recommend the Toasted brew enough, I can say confidently that if I were to plan our wedding again, Robert would be my first call.

Customer service to my clients is #1 to me – the wedding is not about me, it’s about you, your friends and your family. Once I understand what you envision at your wedding, I’ll use my 20+ years of experience to make sure everyone has a great and unforgettable time. I become very much involved in the timing and management of the evening from the moment you book me.

We decided on a DJ instead of a band for a few practical reasons. It's cheaper, there's more variety in what he/she can play and therefore can appeal to a broader audience, and most importantly for us, a DJ takes up less space than a band. We thought about foregoing a professional altogether and just doing the iPod thing, but I was afraid that it would stress me out. For anyone else who has done the DJ search, there is LOT of cheese out there! I received a packet from this one guy with all kinds of crazy rainbow colors and smiley faces and frankly, his voice on the phone scared me. We wanted a low-key DJ, not a show-boat. Tom was perfect. He totally delivered! He wore a tux and looked great. Call me shallow but that's important - the DJ is in the background of quite a few of the photos. He was professional and knew what to play to make everyone happy. He also played all of the songs we asked him to, which is not always a given. The reception was non-stop dancing all night. We had a blast!

We've been told countless times that our wedding was the best ever, and a huge part of that is thanks to DJ Mot. His ability to read the crowd and keep the energy high and the dance floor packed is insane. Every track he played was a banger, and he seamlessly transitioned between genres to keep everyone entertained. It was clear that DJ Mot understands music and knows how to create an atmosphere that everyone enjoys. Beyond his incredible music skills, DJ Mot was a true professional. He handled any unforeseen issues with ease, ensuring that everything ran smoothly throughout the night. By the end of the evening, DJ Mot had become more than just our DJ; he was a part of the party. We even found ourselves chanting his name as he kept the celebration going strong. We are so grateful to DJ Mot for his talent, dedication, and for making our wedding day truly unforgettable.

I was blown away by the talent of the musicians, they really take their craft seriously. I requested a Roaring Twenties theme from Louis Pettinelli and they went above and beyond to make it happen. 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. I highly recommend this group for your wedding.

We couldn't recommend The 1999 enough!! We first saw them at the Thirsty Moose bar in New Hampshire. That night, we had such a good time that we decided we wanted them as our wedding band over the other more traditional soul/r&b band we had in mind. They were able to play a lot of modern rock and pop favorites for us and our friends but also throw in a few classics for our parents and older guests. They even let us help decided the final set list to ensure a wide variety of songs. Working with them was such a breeze as Rob and Alex are so incredible detailed-obsessed -- we didn't have to worry about a thing because they gave us the confidence going into our wedding that they had it under control from pre-planning to end of night. We couldn't have asked for a better band and we are now happy to call them friends for life! Such great people, amazing professionals and talented musicians.
