Weddings by Paris Entertainment 
Rating: 5.0 (20 reviews)
  • DJ
  • Serves Effort, PA

I bailed on corporate America to start my DJ career, working for a multi-op company whose DJ’s all work part-time. Disenchanted w/the impersonal, volume-based multi-DJ business model, I went out on my own, providing my couples with a non-cheesy, musically lively reception. I take a personalized approach that involves them in planning their entertainment, creating a non-cookie cutter, unforgettably fun celebration experience:) Over 700 weddings later, I still get the best couples: real, genuine people who are interested in having a fun & classy wedding day!

Paris was an absolutely incredible vendor to work with. His attention to pre-planning did not go unnoticed. He was very attentive and quick to respond to all of our needs and ensured everything was exactly as my husband and I wanted. He provided perfect introductions, music edits for both the ceremony and the reception, and uplighting that made our reception hall look beautiful. He also took some incredible photos and videos that we will cherish forever (photo attached). Paris was absolutely delightful to work with and we would recommend him to anyone!!

Wow! DJ Lou exceeded our expectations! When it came to the reception we didn't have to do a thing but the preparation came months before that. We had an initial planning meeting, he set us up with our own timeline (an app that he created!), we had a follow-up meeting and then a week-of meeting! We felt so ready when the day came but were still so surprised about how much DJ Lou did for us. He was checking to see if we were okay, pulling us away to make sure we were eating, working with our other vendors so seamlessly- our ceremony musicians, our officiant, our family band, and our photographer! It made the reception a hit among all our guests! We can't recommend him enough!

Jim has been so friendly and professional throughout this entire process — he’s made this a really seamless and exciting experience! Our DJ Rick was great at reading the room and adjusting the music from our curated track list to fit the vibe we were going for (we really wanted people to work the dance floor!). Lisa helped run our Photo Booth, and it was such a blast. We just got the pictures back and they’re so fun! They really capture the feeling, which I love.

Anthony was a pleasure to work with. We loved his easy going personality. My husband and I hit it off with him immediately. We loved how he let us customize our entire wedding playlist which was so impressive. His portal for uploading music was so easy to use. Anthony was very thorough leading up to the wedding. He was great at communicating. Anthony was able to make a lot of special requests like having my husband sing at the wedding. A few minor things happened at the wedding like the mic did not work, but Anthony was able to work through it. My venue also didn’t let him dim the lights down initially, but he eventually figured out a way to do it, so the dance floor can be lit. All in all, we are so happy we booked All in Entertainment for our wedding.

I've been to a bunch of events where DJ Eric was playing, and he’s seriously one of the best. He knows how to get people into the music and keeps the energy up with really fun mash-ups. At one wedding I went to, he paired his DJ setup with a live drummer, and it honestly sounded like a full band, it was so cool and really made the dance floor feel electric. He’s also amazing at weddings in general. He helps keep everything on schedule and knows how to smoothly transition from one part of the night to the next. He takes the time to get to know the couple and makes sure the whole vibe fits their style. Eric’s super friendly and easy to work with. His planning forms helped cover all the little details we might’ve forgotten otherwise. I always recommend him to family and friends because he makes any event way more fun!

Let's be honest — the thought of a typical wedding DJ is pretty awful. Cheesy announcements, recycled playlists, a DJ who played two other events that weekend. I built SOUNDBAR to be the alternative. Your reception is a once-in-a-lifetime production. Before the first song plays, I've already been working — planning every detail with you through unlimited meetings and a personalized online planning portal. On your wedding day, I manage the flow behind the scenes, coordinate with your venue and vendors, read the room all night, and make sure every single moment unfolds exactly the way it should — because this night only happens once.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had such an amazing experience - what stood out most about working with David was how well he listened. He took the time to understand our personalities and what we wanted the night to feel like, and nothing ever felt generic. The planning tools were detailed but helpful, and every conversation left us feeling confident. The music felt intentional from start to finish, and the dance floor stayed active all night. We received so many messages afterward saying how much fun everyone had. SOUNDBAR helped create a celebration that felt completely authentic to us. Thank you!

Hi, we’re Leo and Olga Taratu — partners in life and now in music. A few years ago, Leo forgot our anniversary. No flowers, no dinner — just Olga’s voicemail: “I don’t need anything fancy… I just wish you remembered.” Instead of a last-minute gift, Leo asked musician Alex Solans to turn our story into a song. He shared voice notes and memories. In 24 hours, it came back as music. “This is what I should have said,” he wrote. Olga cried — and forgave him. That moment grew into something bigger. Today we turn real stories into custom songs, delivered in 24 hours, with video and vinyl options — because sometimes a song says what we can’t.

I was honestly blown away. My husband surprised me for our first anniversary with a custom song from yourmelodymakers, and he even had it put on vinyl. When I heard the song, it already felt really special, but seeing it on a real record made it even cooler. It’s such a nice and personal gift. Something we’ll definitely keep forever. I’m really happy with how it turned out.

DJ JOHNNY JOHNSON 
Rating: 5.0 (4 reviews)
  • DJ
  • Starts at $995
  • Serves Effort, PA

In his early teens, living in Brooklyn, NY, Johnny fell in love with DJin. He was asked to help spin music at a friend`s party. After receiving such a great response, & the satisfaction felt from that day, he knew he found his passion. Since then, he has performed at hundreds of weddings, birthdays, kids parties and other great celebrations. He is dedicated to ensuring that his clients, and their entertainment needs are met and exceeded. DJ Johnny Johnson is now, one of the top rated wedding and party DJs in Northeast Pennsylvania and North & Central New Jersey

We are an older couple, and this was a second marriage for both of us, so I am not sure most people would understand the amount of time and effort we spent to find the perfect DJ for our wedding. We are a blended family with 8 adult children, and 5 grandchildren. We were both young parents, so our kids are early 20's, and we have extended family into their 80's - we are literally talking decades of music tastes to cater to. We are both avid music lovers, so having someone that could work with us to help set the perfect tone for our day was vitally important. We started looking for our vendors 2 years ahead of time and when I say we literally vetted over 50 DJs to find the perfect one, it is not a stretch of the truth. What first drew us to DJ Johnny was his videos. We were looking for a DJ that was fun and outgoing, someone to interact with the guests, but not be overbearing. We had been to plenty of weddings where the DJs barely interacted with the guests, and others where you felt like you were in a club and the show was all about the DJ and not the couple. Neither of these were the vibe we were looking for. What we wanted was someone who was experienced, loved their job and knew how to read the room to keep the party going. DJ Johnny's videos seemed to show just that, so we scheduled a call with him. After talking to him, we were fairly certain we had found our guy, but did our due diligence with our other DJ choices as well. We kept coming back to Johnny, because of his personality. He was confident in his skills, but he was in no way arrogant or overbearing. Just very down to Earth and fun loving - a guy who seemed to be fortunate enough to be able to do what he loved and bring other people joy at the same time. After a second call, where Johnny was able to answer some potential concerns, we knew we had our DJ. Johnny is amazing with answering any emails and addressing any questions or concerns. He was able to cater to the music and any announcements we needed. We have family with some very hard to pronounce names, and he made notes to make sure he pronounced everyone's names perfectly (bride's included). He performed for both our ceremony and reception, and the amount of compliments from guests about the music were too numerous to count. There was hardly a moment where the dance floor was empty, he kept the music flowing, the energy high, the guests engaged and just the entire night was fantastic. I can honestly say that our wedding could not have been as flawless as it was without the help of DJ Johhny. Words alone cannot express our gratitude with DJ Johnny and the integral part he played in making our day both memorable and absolutely perfect. If we ever have the need for a DJ again in the future, DJ Johnny will most certainly be our guy!

We have many dancing we need for parents and the understood we needed them short and slowed downed from their original version and were able to accomplish that for us. They were professional in every meeting in email that was sent. The selfie Photo Booth was great and our guests were in love with it.

HiMotive Entertainment & Photobooth did a great job keeping our wedding reception fun and upbeat. While their communication was a bit delayed leading up to the event, they were ultimately effective in executing on the day-of. The DJ kept the party going all night with a good song selection, though they did play 3 Taylor Swift songs in a row at the start, which we would have preferred more variety. The MC's ad-libs got a little overbearing at times, but overall they did a nice job sticking to the schedule and making important announcements. We'd recommend HiMotive to other couples looking for an energetic DJ.

Having a band play our Northern Virginia wedding was very important to us. We found Bachelor Boys on Instagram and relished their vibe from the get-go. They felt more personal than the conglomerates with dozens of band. We watched them perform at a showcase in the Baltimore area and loved how they structured their evening with different pairings of band members and instruments - it helped us make an informed decision about the number of instruments we wanted to include. We were wow-ed by Amber at the showcase, and were thrilled to have her emcee our wedding! Communication with the band was very straightforward. We only had a handful of requests, but otherwise, let them play the sets as they saw fit. Truthfully, I can’t remember them taking many breaks because it felt like they played the whole night! Our guests continue to say how excellent the band was! For the ceremony, the band provided a speaker and a representative to press “play” on our music. We also had a trio perform beautifully at cocktail hour. One fun note: we opted for parent dances, and the band had no issues with my Bruce Springsteen deep cut. The singer even channeled his “Boss” to really sound like Bruce! Our dance floor was full from the start, and we loved the sets they played. We had a blast dancing at our wedding - Highly recommend Bachelor Boys!

Many of my past clients have described me as "the most un-wedding DJ, wedding DJ there is." I don’t conform to the typical stereotypes that may lurk in your nightmares after you attended bad weddings. This includes an exaggerated voice, a bunch of inflatable props, and I do not impose line dances and tacky clichés. I focus on ensuring that your plan for the day is solid and that you are confident I understand what is expected of me. I am your DJ, your MC, and your quality control planner.

I’ve had the good fortune of having DJ Kane as my DJ for my wedding, but also referred him to a couple of additional weddings I was in/went to. His musicality is on point - he blends styles and eras with ease. Plus he is excellent at gauging his audience - keeping people on the dance floor all night. I was VERY fussy about my playlist and gave him an extensive list of songs to include. He managed to not only include a good majority, but also mixed in a fabulous selection I didn’t even think of that are favorites from my wedding day to the present day. He took my selection & curated each portion of my wedding day perfectly from ceremony to reception. Not only that but I hired DJ Kane to do a custom mix for me as a present for a friends wedding and it came out PERFECT and suited our needs exactly for a surprise family tradition performance. He is responsive, flexible, & also very humorous! He is the DJ you want for sure!

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.

From start to finish, he went above and beyond to make our big day unforgettable. First off, communication was wonderful. DJ Lennox was responsive in the months leading up to the wedding and provided a well-thought-out sheet to fill out for music preferences, special requests, etc. On the day of the wedding, he arrived early, set up quickly, and was professional throughout. The music selection was perfect - he really knew how to read the room and kept everyone on the dance floor all night! One of the highlights was the way DJ Lennox handled our ceremony. The music traditions were smooth and the sound quality was amazing, creating a beautiful intimate atmosphere. Overall, we couldn't be happier with our choice of DJ. DJ Lennox made our wedding day even more special, and we've had so many compliments from guests about how great the music was. If you're looking for a talented, reliable, and fun DJ who knows how to keep the party going, look no further! Thank you so much! You helped make our wedding day perfect!

"Matt was absolutely incredible at our wedding! He traveled to Boston for us and he lit up the dance floor and made the best dance party.

We had such a great time with our Party Express DJ, Alex. We had a 40th Prom celebration with 85people, and it was an amazing experience. Alex read the room and helped up raise the roof! Once people started dancing, we never stopped! So many guests came up to me to praise Alex! I also opted for the light tubes, and it really elevated the experience!

Jeff and his team (dalton and charleigh) were absolutely amazing!! I truly believe Jeff is setting up white rose to be different than any other DJ company out there. The whole process was so easy and straight forward. There were no questions because Jeff always made sure to go in great depth and detail. I had a song my parents used to sing to my brother and I and it was their own remix of 2 song and Jeff remixed it so they could have their reception entrance to the song. He also did a custom mix for the bridesmaids entrance. It was amazing!!! A little back story, my husband and I had booked a differnt DJ company (who I will not name) and the whole process felt very quick. There was no explanation, we never even got to talk to the DJ themselves to see if it was a good fit and I was so stressed. I work at a venue in the area and met Jeff and instantly fell in love with his whole process and how hands on he truly is. I joked about wishing I booked him and he was like hey I’m still available for your wedding date. So we got out of our old contract and signed a new one with jeff and we are so so glad we did! White rose productions is easily unlike any DJ company period. You actually get to know your DJ and team before the process really starts. They aren’t pushy and salesy trying to force you into a contract. Jeff actually encourages you to weigh out all your options. With a previous sales background I loveddddd that because it shows he truly only wants couples who see his vision and align well with him and his company. I would give them 100000/5 stars if I could. I wish I could get married all over again and have Jeff DJ. We got endless compliments and everyone loved the monogram projection and the photo booth he had. It truly added so much to the space. The cold sparks are amazing!! Jeff has top of the line cold sparks that won’t harm any guests so it was so nice not having to worry about guests possibly being injured by the cold sparks since I really wanted them!!! Every guest we talked to said they never heard a DJ that good and that we had the best music playing. THANK YOU WHITE ROSE PRODUCTIONS!!!! Ps. If you’re like me and had a specific point in a song that you want to walk out to and have it all timed perfectly, jed is amazing and making that happened. Happened at my own wedding and every wedding we’ve worked together, at the venue I work at!!
