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!

Awarded Best of Zola
We could not have asked for a better DJ for our wedding day! From the very beginning, Paris was incredibly organized, professional, and stress-free to work with. Communication was excellent throughout the entire planning process, and we always felt confident that every detail was being handled perfectly. We truly felt like Paris took the time to get to know us as a couple and tailored the entire experience to fit us perfectly. On the wedding day itself, Paris was so friendly, energetic, and fun to work with. He helped keep the entire reception flowing smoothly and created such an amazing atmosphere for both us and our guests. The music selection was absolutely perfect and stayed completely in tune with the energy of the crowd all night long. The dance floor was packed the entire evening, and so many of our guests commented afterward about how incredible the music was. Honestly, months later we are still receiving compliments about how amazing our DJ was — we even had guests ask if they could get the playlist from our wedding! We are so grateful for the amazing service Paris provided and for helping make our wedding day so memorable, personal, and fun. We would absolutely recommend him to any couple looking for a talented, organized, and truly exceptional wedding DJ!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
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!

My husband and I used Direct Entertainment for our DJ and videographer for our wedding and we could not be more pleased!! The team was professional, great at communication, very kind and professional, and they helped make our day absolutely perfect! Jeff, our DJ kept the dance floor alive ALL NIGHT!! When the music had to stop at the end of the night, the dance floor was still completely full and no one wanted it to end. He did a great job announcing the events of the night, made sure that our ceremony music was perfect, and he stuck to our wedding playlist with the exception for a couple guest requests (which we were happy to allow). We were so happy and thankful to have Jeff there! Sie, our videographer also did a wonderful job! We have not yet received our video as our wedding was less than 2 weeks ago, but I already know it is going to be amazing. He was so great with communication, was prompt with his timing, and he even set up a second camera for guests to break away and give us well wishes for our marriage, which I'm so excited to watch back. He was very professional and wonderful to work with. We decided to add videography at the last minute because we thought we might regret not having it, and I am SO happy we asked Jim at Direct Entertainment if they had someone available for our day just a month before, and they did!! Jim, the coordinator at Direct Entertainment frequently checked in with us, asked us questions about ourselves, and genuinely made us feel like he cared about us and our special day. He was great to work with leading up to being assigned our designated DJ and videographer, and even after, he checked in to make sure we were happy and that all of the planning was going well. Overall, we would 1000% recommend Direct Entertainment for any wedding entertainment needs! I know they also offer several other services that we did not utilize, and I'm sure they are wonderful as well! Photos courtesy of Lang at Wandering Wolf Photography.

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!

Overall, we had a good experience with our DJ. He arrived on time, was professional throughout the evening, and kept our guests on the dance floor for most of the night. The music flowed well, and everyone seemed to have a great time. That said, I did spend a lot of time carefully selecting songs that were meaningful to us, and I was a little disappointed that many of those selections weren't played. Some of our requested songs were included, but I had hoped more of our playlist would be incorporated into the evening. The only other issue was that, just before our grand exit, he approached us to mention that he hadn't received enough food. We had paid for a vendor meal for him, so I wasn't sure what had happened, and it didn't feel like the best time to bring it up while we were in the middle of such a special moment. Despite those concerns, he was friendly, punctual, and our guests clearly enjoyed themselves. If having a lively dance floor is your top priority, he does a good job creating a fun atmosphere.

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!

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.

I started as a full-time nightclub DJ and after a decade transitioned to weddings. To date I've entertained 1000+ weddings to prepare for your celebration. 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.

DJ Michael was fantastic to work with and played such an important role in making our reception so much fun. He scheduled multiple calls with us ahead of the wedding to make sure every detail was right, including the pronunciation of names for introductions, which we really appreciated. He also worked closely with our venue to make sure the entire evening flowed seamlessly. Once the dancing started, he absolutely delivered — the energy was perfect and the music flowed so well throughout the night. He did a great job reading the room and getting people out on the dance floor while still keeping the different moments of the night feeling natural and well-paced.

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.

During our consultation the week before our wedding, Jodie took the time to truly understand our vibe, our music preferences, and the kind of atmosphere we wanted to create for our guests. He was so personable and made the whole process feel easy and exciting. On our wedding day, the music was absolutely seamless! My husband and I, along with all of our guests, had the BEST time on the dance floor. The energy was incredible, and we honestly could have stayed out there all night! Jodie read the room perfectly and knew exactly what songs to play and when to play them. He helped create such a fun and unforgettable celebration for us and our guests. We are so grateful for Jodie and Level Up Entertainment and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a DJ who truly cares about making your wedding day special!

We hired Sean for our wedding and him and Alex were absolutely incredible! From start to finish, they knew exactly how to set the tone and keep the energy going. They seamlessly incorporated all of our favorite genres and created the perfect mix that had almost every guest out on the dance floor all night. They were professional, organized, and truly listened to what we wanted (which was a mix of everything and to dance all night). You can tell they love what they do, mixing music to fit each vibe and prioritizing the couple’s special day. We couldn’t be happier with our choice and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for DJs who can read the room, elevate the vibe, and make your event feel magical. We also purchased uplighting which added the perfect ambiance, elegant during first dances and dinner, then vibrant once the party started. It tied the whole experience together to make an unforgettable night. Thank you for helping make our day perfect!
