He reminded me that my wedding day would still be just as beautiful and fun no matter the date. They were SO MUCH FUN!!! They played all of the best wedding songs, and even pulled my groom and I on stage. Everyone had the best time and even some guests got on stage with them.

Not a single person was sitting at the tables while the Dickens were on the stage. They were very interactive with the crowd and even let the groom (a guitar player) get up there and jam out with them. This was such a fun addition to the wedding and we loved every minute of it!

I cant believe I got so lucky to book NMC! Nick was the only DJ I talked to before booking, and he gave such a detailed proposal and even asked to meet via video conference that I was so confident in booking them. NMC was the CENTER of our entire wedding. The music was perfect, Nick even came to the dress rehearsal to make sure the timing felt right during the ceremony. I was hesitant to have a DJ for the ceremony, but I’m so glad we did! Every time we talk to guests from the wedding night, they mention how incredible the dance floor was for the reception too. It was truly the party we asked for, all thanks to NMC!!
