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 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 such a pivotal part of our wedding day! His communication in advance was on point: he made us feel so safe with what we were walking into! And day of: he was a success. Everyone was dancing, he was so perceptive of everyone’s needs and it was a success! We couldn’t recommend Paris more!! :)

My wife and I had Lou DJ our upstate wedding and it was more than we could have dreamed of. From the beginning, he was nothing but professional. He met with us multiple times prior to the event to go over music selection, flow of the ceremony day etc. His website was very easy to use and allowed us to have a large role in our music selection for the day, even for the reception dance portion. Everything was reviewed at least 3 times to ensure there were no hiccups, and also to make sure we wouldn't have to worry about anything on the ceremony day. On the day, Lou came in very early to setup and his equipment was extremely unobtrusive and sounded amazing. From the ceremony to reception (and especially cocktail hour), the sound was fantastic and there was not a single hiccup (even with an outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour!). His flow through the reception was so smooth - and as a former college radio DJ, his music choice to fill in the gaps between the 'must plays' we sent him were impeccable!!! If you have a big heart for music and want it to be the backbone of any great party while having one of the most professional guys out there - Lou is 100% your guy. Thanks again Lou!!!!

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.

Looking back, it’s clear how much David influenced the overall feel of our wedding. From the ceremony setup to the reception energy, everything felt organized and well thought out. The ceremony sound was clear and ensured everyone could hear our vows and our officiant. Cocktail hour felt relaxed and welcoming, and by the time the reception started, the night turned into a great party. Nothing felt rushed or overly scripted. We had so many guests comment on how simply enjoyable the entire day was. David make sure we stayed on schedule, and his assistant kept checking in to make sure we were taken care of and we stayed in the moment. SOUNDBAR was absolutely worth the investment.

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!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Where to start... Michael Kane was so much more than we expected, and we couldn't be happier. I was very picky about all of our vendors, and I'll admit I was nervous about our DJ as well. Would he understand our unique music taste? Would he make sure our guests could hear our vows during the ceremony? Would he be able to read the vibe of the room and maintain a good flow of music to keep all of our guests happy? Well, he went above and beyond in every respect. While my wife and I were nervous wrecks for the entire day, he was there as a kind and supporting presence to make sure we had nothing to worry about. Before the ceremony even started, he gave our rookie Officiant some sage advice that helped calm her nerves. For the ceremony he brought his own (personal) pro speaker system that made sure every guest could hear every word from our officiant and us. He understood our music taste so perfectly that I don't think my wife left the dance floor once. When we found out (mid-reception!) that we could play music beyond the original ending time, he worked with us to extend his schedule to give us the perfect ending to the night. He did ALL THAT while still finding time to take some awesome candid shots of us (that's me, clearly enjoying the song, in the attached picture). Ultimately, DJ Michael Kane handled his job perfectly with professionalism, charisma, kindness, and swagger. I've honestly never been happier to write a review.

He accomplished his mission because the dance floor was full for the entire reception. Throughout the whole process John made communication easy and was very quick to get responses back to us.

We hired Intrinsic Groove to perform at our wedding in April 2026 and it was nothing short of INCREDIBLE. We watched a lot of videos and felt confident they were going to be great, but they far exceeded our expectations. They were high energy, crowd engaging, phenomenal performers who met the vibe every single time. Vocals were KILLER. So many of our guests said it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to and I credit a lot of that to the energy the band brought. On top of a killer reception, they also did incredible ceremony and cocktail hour music that made everything flow harmoniously. You just can’t beat a killer band for your wedding, worth every penny!

We first found Matthew at a friend’s wedding in New Jersey over two years ago, and from that day on we knew we wanted him at our wedding. Even though we’ve seen so many other wedding saxophone players since then, no one ever compared. When it came time to plan our own wedding, booking Matthew was one of the easiest decisions we made. From the start, Matthew was one of the kindest vendors we worked with. He was so easygoing, enthusiastic, and genuinely excited to be part of our day. He played as guests entered the reception room, seamlessly transitioned into cocktail and dinner vibes, then completely transformed the dance floor after dinner and kept the energy going through the after-party. His talent is incredible and he can play to anything and everything. From songs my parents loved, to our favorites, to Drake, Olivia Dean, country, ABBA, and everything in between. Our guests loved him too. We had so many people coming up to us throughout the night and afterward asking who he was and telling us how amazing he was. He was one of the biggest hits of our wedding and we’re so grateful.

We were connected with Level Up Entertainment through our wedding planning team and could not have had a better experience! We were especially blessed to be paired with Jodie as our DJ. 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!
