Uptown Groove provide all of the music for my daughter’s wedding: strings for the ceremony and cocktail hour outdoors, recorded music for the first dances under a tent, and then the full band for dancing after dinner in a separate ballroom. Most importantly, the music was awesome throughout the entire night and the dance floor was full til the very last note was played. But also - Seth was great to work with, and having one person coordinating all of the musical components made the planning easier and made the event flow seamlessly. The bride and groom had a vision and he helped bring that to reality, working with them on the music choices and coordinating with the venue and the wedding planner to be sure the logistics worked. He is not only a talented musician and MC, but he’s a very detail oriented professional and he followed thru on the day of the wedding so that the whole event went as the bride and groom requested. I would highly recommend Uptown Groove to anybody who wants great music for their wedding!

Engaged Entertainment

5.0

Binghamton, NY
  • DJ
  • Starts at $3,000

And most of all, your story starts with love. Let us help you tell that story. Engaged Entertainment is a full-time entertainment provider, which means that your event is our 9-5 job, not just a weekend “gig.” You get more of our time and attention to make your event an unbelievable success!

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.

Barb Fox's DJ Entertainment
Vestal, NY
  • DJ

There may be many things to differentiate between DJs, but one of the biggest is the personality and Barb has a great one! Every party needs a different amount of interjection, and she knows how to read the crowd and make them feel at ease. Playing the right song at the right time is an art, a skill that Barb applies seemingly effortlessly from her unlimited music collection. She is energetic, but not overwhelming. Remember the party is about you and your guests, not the DJ.

Austin was a wonderful part of our wedding who I would recommend to anyone looking for a classical guitarist. As a fellow musician, I wanted to book Austin early on after hearing his demos that showcased his skill and versatility. He always responded quickly and was flexible in the planning leading up to the wedding. He also went above and beyond to perfect a special song arrangement request that made our ceremony even more meaningful. He was punctual the day of the wedding and helped keep our schedule moving. Many of our guests remarked afterward how much they enjoyed his music. We would happily book him again for a future event!

Awarded Best of Zola
We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ and musical partner in Justin. The musical atmosphere of the event was very important to us and Justin blew our expectations out of the water. From just a couple conversations, it was evident that Justin truly understood our musical tastes as individuals and as a couple and he skillfully incorporated our preferences to create a unique and incredibly fun experience for our guests throughout the entire day. From the ambient yet upbeat music of the cocktail hour to the bangers on the reception dance floor, each transition was seamless and it was clear that he had carefully curated the music to match the energy of each moment of the day. What impressed us the most was how well Justin grasped our needs, tastes, and the flow of events. His friendly and approachable demeanor made us feel at ease, and he radiated positive vibes throughout the entire celebration. We got compliments throughout the event on the music and our dance floor was packed till the very last second. We had SO much fun and we've seriously had so many conversations post-wedding about how awesome the music was and how happy we were that Justin was our DJ. Thank you Justin for making our wedding truly unforgettable!
