“cannot recommend John from Elation Entertainment enough! From the very beginning, communication was outstanding. He was always quick to respond, organized, professional, and made the entire planning process feel so easy. He took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and made us feel completely confident going into our wedding day. On the day of the wedding, he absolutely exceeded every expectation. The dance floor was packed ALL. NIGHT. LONG. Our guests are still talking about how much fun they had and how amazing the music was! He read the crowd perfectly, kept the energy high, and played the perfect mix of songs that had everyone- from our youngest guests to our older guests- dancing! Beyond being incredibly talented, he is genuinely one of the kindest people you’ll work with. He was so friendly, accommodating, and truly cared about making our day unforgettable.

“Jeff was an absolutely incredible DJ! My wife and I were initially worried about people not dancing at our wedding, but Jeff completely eased our concerns and far exceeded every expectation. From the very first song, he had the dance floor packed and it stayed that way all night long. With 160 guests, I think every single one of them was up and dancing hours straight. Guests are still telling us it was the best music they’ve ever heard at a wedding, and many said they couldn't leave the dance floor because it was too much fun. It was the best night of our lives with our favorite people. Leading up to the big day, Jeff was unbelievably organized and professional. We spoke with a number of DJs, but Jeff stood out immediately as the most prepared and thoughtful. His online planning tools made the entire process seamless and stress-free, and whenever we had questions, he was always quick to respond and reassure us. He took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and then delivered beyond our wildest dreams. He created the perfect edit for our first dance and seamlessly mixed so many of our favorite songs throughout the night Jeff doesn’t just play music he created an unforgettable experience for us. We placed all of our trust in him, and he knocked it out of the park, over and over again. If we could give Jeff 1,000 stars, we would. We cannot recommend Jeff enough to anyone planning a wedding.”

After 14 plus years DJing weddings across New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut, I know the fear is not just bad music. It is awkward MC moments, dead air, generic playlists, and a dance floor that never connects. My style combines real wedding experience with NYC nightlife instincts: live mixing, clean announcements, calm planning, and room reading that keeps every generation included without making the night feel forced.

Dan is not your typical wedding DJ who plays the same cheesy, cliché wedding songs. He understood our vibe and kept everyone dancing the entire night. We had so many guests tell us it was the best wedding they had ever been to and how much fun they had. Dan was so great to work with. He was organized, always kept in touch, and truly cares about making your day perfect. He puts a lot of time and effort into preparing beforehand, and it really shows.

“First of all, they were the first vendors we booked and can see why they come so highly recommended!!Jeremy was excellent in coordinating all things leading up to the wedding including the wedding day timeline, and he set us up with the absolute best group of people for our wedding day. The day of we had Nick as our DJ and Mike as our MC, they checked in with us a few days before to see if we had any questions or concerns and were so attentive throughout our entire wedding. They brought so much heart, energy, and fun to our day and I seriously can’t imagine having our wedding without them. People are still talking about the amazing music selection, the dancing, the crowd surfing, and the fact that they were the best DJs they’ve ever seen at a wedding. At one point, the smoke detectors went off due to someone smoking in the bathroom, causing the entire wedding to evacuate outside. As you could imagine this situation would normally be stressful, or cause low morale when entering back in after 15-20 mins of being outside waiting for the fire department, but I can’t emphasize enough how Mike and Nick absolutely KILLED it and immediately brought back the energy and dancing as if nothing happened. They played “we didn’t start the fire” and I swear I’m still smiling about how iconic that was. I can’t recommend this group enough, ESPECIALLY Mike and Nick. Thank you for making our night absolutely epic and unforgettable!”

“From the very first time we spoke with Tom, we had a feeling we had found our DJ. He was always honest with us, incredibly responsive, and genuinely took the time to get to know us and what we wanted our wedding to feel like. One of our favorite examples of this was when we sent him a sample of our first dance song and he had it back to us within minutes- which just about sums it up. Reliable, fun to work with, and someone we always felt like we could count on. On our wedding day, Tom honestly felt less like a vendor and more like a friend who was there celebrating with us. He played everything we asked for, but also knew exactly when to switch things up and keep the dance floor going. We had so many people come up to us afterward saying how much they loved the music and that Tom was one of the best DJs they had ever heard at a wedding. We truly cannot thank Tom enough for being such a huge part of our wedding day. The dance floor was packed, everyone had an absolute blast, and somehow the night still went by way too fast. We would have happily danced for hours longer. We will forever be grateful for the role Tom played in our wedding - there is truly no one better.”

“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.

“In today's world everything is extremely overpriced and service is terrible. My wedding was very stressful for me because of this. I did not have a DJ or a Photographer and honestly was considering just something small scale, until I talked to Ed from DJ Double E. I would give them 10 stars out 5. From the minute I talked to Ed it was a breath of fresh air from the million other outrageously priced DJ's. The price is unbeatable but that's not why I would recommend them. They are absolutely phenomenal and made my entire wedding. The music was perfect from ceremony to the last dance. They were so professional, so involved and so fun. We had a daytime (early) wedding. It is so challenging to get people up and have a good time at 12:30 in the afternoon, I was having meltdowns about it, they reassured me but had the entire place up and having fun. You didn't know if it was day or night. They helped us more than the attendants at the venue. Over 100 guests said how amazing they were. The pictures they took could not be any better. Any other DJ who had packages like this (photo booth etc...) were THOUSANDS, yes THOUSANDS, more!!! I really hate to admit but I'm not easily pleased however I would put my name on the line for DJ Double E after how they made my wedding. DJ Double E exceeded all my and my husband's expectations and -consider yourself lucky if you hire them for any event. I'll be calling them again!!!”

“Modern Strings was the perfect choice for the music at our wedding ceremony. From our first interaction, Celine and Ben were prompt, thorough, and effective in their communication, putting us at ease throughout the planning process. Their elegant, timeless, and cohesive performance upscaled the vibe of our ceremony in a way that felt truly special. Celine and Ben were also very accommodating and made themselves available to us on short notice, which we greatly appreciated. It was the perfect touch for our ceremony, and I'm so glad we didn't skip out on having them there.”

“I cannot say enough great things about our band! I was completely blown away by the talent of every musician. I was on the dance floor all night! I provided them with song recommendations from their repertoire list, as well as other songs that I wanted, and they were able to accommodate everything I asked for. They were so talented, and Louis and his team were incredibly easy to work with and so patient with all of my questions. You can tell that Louis takes tremendous pride in his company and genuinely cares about making your day special. He was also so helpful when it came to recommending songs and answering any questions I had.”
