Peter was exceptionally easy to work with. 10/10 planning, communication and organization. He spoke with us and independently coordinated with other vendors and our officiants without ever having to ask us for anything the day of. He followed our suggestions for music and did a great job from there keeping the energy up and dance floor packed. He went above and beyond keeping the vibes high by hanging up our dog posters on his set and adding to the energy. He’s very transparent and SO worth the purchase. We are so grateful! 10/10 recommend. Also he has a great questionnaire to help you guide and organize your day!!

We had a wonderful experience working with Bobby from The DJ Company. His communication throughout the planning process was always prompt, kind, and stress-free. On our big day, Bobby brought exceptional professionalism and talent that elevated the entire event. He seamlessly handled both the acoustic guitar ceremony music and DJ reception duties, fulfilling all our requested songs and keeping guests engaged. Bobby made things personal by playing guitar live for our ceremony, learning special songs just for us. During the reception he read the room perfectly, playing hits our diverse group of friends and family could all enjoy. We really appreciated Bobby's friendly demeanor and flexibility to make our wedding day unique to us as a couple. The quality and reliability of his services were fantastic, especially for the value.

Kyle was amazing to work with for our wedding! His communication throughout the planning process was always professional, quick, and organized. Kyle shared a detailed Google Doc with us to fill in with our personalized timeline of the day and preferences for music and announcements. About a month before the wedding, he scheduled a video call to go through that timeline step by step and to make sure he understood all of our requests. We shared specific songs we wanted for things like walking down the aisle and first dance and were able to share entire playlists of requests for things like music to play during cocktail hour, dinner, and our reception. On the day, Kyle was a rockstar. Everything was set up and ready to go well before our ceremony began. During the ceremony, the audio was excellent. From the volume of the music as we walked down the aisle, to the mics set up for us and our officiant, to the transition into our recessional, all of it was incredible. At the end of cocktail hour, Kyle pulled me aside just to review our entrance into the reception, which helped alleviate some nerves for me! And of course Kyle shined brightest during DANCING! He read the room, kept the energy high, and added in some awesome mixes and transitions that worked so well. We added on the photo booth and printer which was a huge hit! There were two print outs of each photo strip and you could even enter your phone number to get a digital version of the strip plus a video of all 4 photos rotating. This was super helpful especially for sharing large group photos. Kyle also sent us the digital copies of ALL of the photos and videos from the photo booth. We would highly recommend hiring Underfloor Music for your next event!

Ryan was truly the whole package. When we were originally pricing out DJs for our wedding, we were a little shocked by how much they are. However, music is very important to both of us, and we had heard enough negative stories from friends and acquaintances that we knew it was important to find a quality DJ. Ryan was recommended to us by an old classmate, and from our first meeting we knew we wanted him to do our wedding. Ryan is so personable, so attentive, and he makes you feel like you're the only/most important wedding he's doing (while still exuding confidence and experience). We had a great many long Zoom calls with Ryan (we were planning our wedding from across the country) and he thought of things we would never have thought of in a million years. On the day of, Ryan made sure everything went seamlessly. He was the most incredible emcee and DJ, and all our friends commented on what a great job he did curating an atmosphere. Ryan listened to everything we wanted, and somehow made it even more incredible than we could have dreamed. Ryan is worth every penny. Truly.

Our experience with CSE from start to finish was 10/10. Chris and Elena are incredibly organized, communicative, and responsive. They always answered all of our questions (and I asked many!) Alec, Alex, Savannah, and the rest of the band members rocked it all night. One of the first things guests commented on about our wedding was how amazing the band was.

We also sent him a list of do not play songs and vibe suggestions, but trusted him to read the room to keep the dance floor packed all night. We also really appreciated that Shawn was there to curate an enjoyable vibe -- not to hear himself talk on the microphone all night. He played a great mix of music that was suitable for guests of all ages and backgrounds, yet still felt cohesive when played one after the next. A true professional!

It’s the one-on-one relationship that you have with your event host throughout your planning that will, and absolutely should, spill over into the atmosphere of your event. Getting to know you with the desire to personalize your entertainment, not simply customize, is a large part of where creativity comes from, and not just mine, but yours as well! I love to offer many suggestions and ideas for your event but also find it just as important to hear your "unique" and "awesome" ideas.

From start to finish, working with Upbeat Occasions was a breeze. DJ Chris was responsive to our requests and took time to really understand what we wanted, while also reading the room and keeping the energy right all night long. His transitions were smooth and the song order kept people engaged—the dance floor didn't empty once, and I was out there dancing to nearly every track. What impressed us most was how laid back he was while staying totally in tune with what the crowd needed, and our guests wouldn't stop raving about the music selection. Chris made our reception feel effortless and fun, and honestly, it's hard to imagine our day going any better. We'd absolutely recommend Upbeat Occasions to anyone looking for a DJ who actually cares about making your wedding special.

Mama Juke is a gumbo of New Orleans influenced blues, blue-eyed soul, funk, and folk. Actor/singer Elijah Bridges brings elements of bluegrass and rag with his soulful harmonica, acoustic guitar, and voice. Amos Rose is a world traveling multi-instrumentalist who also sings and plays lead Telecaster guitar, and was recently featured by Jazz at Lincoln Center. Brendan O’Grady is an in-demand session musician and fixture on the greater New York scene since his roots growing up in Yonkers. Drummer Jon Wert is a sought-after musician, collaborating with a wide variety of artists in the jazz, rock, pop production shows and songwriter worlds.

Mama Juke was absolutely incredible at our wedding! They played for both our ceremony and cocktail hour, and their music truly set the perfect vibe for each part of the day. We had to make some last-minute adjustments due to rain, and they were so flexible and accommodating, handling everything with ease. From the moment we started working with them, they were easy to communicate with and completely professional. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how amazing they sounded, and they really made the whole day feel extra special. We’re so grateful to Mama Juke for making our wedding unforgettable, and we would highly recommend them!

With over 20 years of experience in DJing, I have a lot that I bring to the table. I'm not a "jukebox" DJ... I mix and beat match! It's a dying art that I am proud to implement in my gigs. We are family owned and operated, friendly, affordable, and bring the party to you! Weddings are something that we LOVE to do and make sure that YOUR special day is all about..... YOU!!! We have many extra add ons like a 360 photobooth, confetti cannons, cold spark machines, and dancing on the clouds. Let us here at Hit N Run Mobile DJ make your wedding the wedding of your dreams!

Hit N Run Mobile DJ was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding. Their communication style was awesome - they were incredibly responsive and helpful throughout the entire planning process. The quality of their work and value was top-notch, as they are a very professional and sweet couple. They went above and beyond for our special day, helping to ensure everything ran smoothly. I would highly recommend Hit N Run Mobile DJ, and if I have another event, they will definitely be a part of it.
