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 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!!

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 weren’t looking for anything overproduced or flashy — we just wanted the night to feel comfortable, fun, and true to us. David completely understood that. The reception had a great flow, the music made sense for the crowd, and the energy never dipped. People naturally gravitated to the dance floor and the night unfolded exactly how we hoped it would. Sometimes it’s the things you don’t notice, like awkward pauses and forced moments, that make the biggest difference. David quietly made sure none of that happened, and it showed. He absolutely nailed it and we couldn't be happier.

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!

Jeanyo Entertainment couldn't have been more perfect for our wedding! To start off the communication from the beginning of booking until the day of the wedding was responsive. Jeanyo was attentive our music taste and really wanted as much input from us as possible. We knew Jeanyo was going to take his duties seriously when he scheduled a zoom meeting between us and the wedding planner. He really used this time to pick our ear music wise, get our "Do Not Play List", and get our "Must Play List". The equipment the Jeanyo used was top notch. The audio was loud and clear for the outdoor ceremony. The timing of the songs that we selected to play for the bridal party, groom, and bride was seamless. We really appreciated the fact that he was able to incorporate specific audio files that we personally sent him. Where Jeanyo really shined was the reception!!! Since the music started and dinner was served, the dance floor was never empty the entire night. A lot of my guest came up to me saying "that was the most fun wedding I've ever been to!" We owe a big part these reactions to Jeanyo. Jeanyo not only perfectly incorporated our playlist into the reception, but his MC skills was on point. Hyping the crowd up, giving instructions on specific songs, announcements without interrupting the vibe were some of the MC skills he exhibited. Despite it being a reception he really gave it that high end club like feeling. The Mix of the music really united the diverse crowd, but really had people out of their seats when he tapped into the south Florida/Haitian Music. I still remember when Jeanyo got on the mic and said "Alright everybody we have 30 Minutes left". I genuinely couldn't believe how fast time was flying because we were having too much fun. We were recommended to Jeanyo by a friend of ours who had him for their wedding, and we are lucky to have gotten that recommendation. 5 out of 5 stars from the wife and I. We highly recommend Jeanyo for your wedding or any event the requires a DJ/MC.

Everyone had SO much fun and he kept us dancing all night. They also filmed content (with our permission) and created a reel of dance floor clips of us and all the people we love! It was so fun getting to watch that a few days after the wedding. We are so glad we went with Empower.

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.

We cannot recommend Darian with Level Up highly enough! From our very first conversation, he was professional, responsive, and genuinely excited about making our wedding day unforgettable. He took the time to understand our taste in music, read the vibe of the crowd perfectly, and kept the dance floor packed all night long. He also handled all the announcements smoothly and added such a fun, personal touch to the evening. Bonus points because he was super prepared and flexible as the rain on the radar threatened to bump our ceremony and cocktail hour inside.

Sean provided top notch service from initial planning until the last song of the night! He also was willing to step in with helping/directing small details outside of his responsibilities to be sure our reception went smoothly (even helping to light a few chafing dishes). Definitely think about their uplighting options as well. They really added to the ambiance. We couldn’t have been more happy with Party Express DJ’s!

DJ Ore Santana

I’m a bilingual (English/Spanish) open-format DJ & MC who specializes in weddings for couples who want a packed dance floor and peace of mind. I make sure every guest feels included and engaged from cocktail hour through the final song. I focus on smooth transitions, natural energy, and zero cheesy mic work. I provide professional sound, immersive dance-floor lighting, uplighting, and a photo booth guests love — so you can relax and fully enjoy an unforgettable night.

Booking DJ Ore was one of the best calls we made for our wedding. From our first phone call to the last song at 1am, he was on top of everything — quick to respond, organized, and genuinely invested in getting our day right. We got married at a camp in the Catskills with the ceremony out in the woods, which meant some tricky logistics: separate sound for the ceremony in the trees, load-in with the venue staff, a timeline that kept shifting on him. Ore handled all of it and we never had to think about any of it. The music was unreal, and he kept the dance floor packed the entire night. Our guests basically refused to leave it, and we honestly lost count of how many people came up to us throughout the night to say how good the music and the DJ were. The thing I'll always remember, though, is how he made space for my Tío to play. My Tío sang and played guitar, and Ore made sure he had everything he needed to do it right. He and Chris brought so much energy and just knew how to keep the room going. If you want a DJ who's professional, easy to talk to, and cares about your day, book him. Thank you for everything, Ore — you gave us a night we won't forget. Cannot recommend enough.
