“Ryan was amazing and truly made our day so special! He really took time to learn about us as a couple and what our vision was for the day (even if it was a little different from the norm)! He helped map out the day, share the plan with our vendors and execute it. He even went above and beyond with some of our requests like making a custom mash up song for us. The day wouldn’t have been the same without him and our guests couldn’t say enough good things about the music!”

Barb Fox's DJ Entertainment 
Rating: 5.0 (3 reviews)
  • DJ
  • Starts at $2,300
  • Serves Marathon, NY

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.

“Barb Fox's DJ Entertainment was exactly what we needed for our wedding day. She stayed on top of everything—from checking the weather to making sure my husband and I actually got to eat dinner instead of running around the whole time. Barb answered our texts and calls quickly and showed up ready to go when we needed her. The music was spot on and kept our guests dancing all night long. Her attention to detail made our reception flow perfectly without us having to worry about a thing. We'd hire her again in a heartbeat.”

Awarded Best of Zola
“The harpist and violinist were absolutely incredible — truly one of the most magical parts of our entire wedding day. My husband and I were completely in awe, and our guests couldn’t stop talking about how beautiful and cinematic the music was. It felt like something straight out of a movie, especially with the stunning ambiance of our ceremony location. From the very beginning, the process of choosing music through the company’s website was seamless. There were so many amazing song options to pick from, and we were so happy with our final selections. Hearing them come to life — especially on violin and harp — was beyond words. The musicians played so eloquently and gracefully, and their talent was unmatched. The music added a romantic, emotional, and elegant touch that elevated everything to a whole new level. Communication with the company was excellent. They were quick to respond, always friendly and accommodating, and remained professional and patient — even when unexpected weather challenges came up on the day of the wedding. They were flexible, understanding, and worked with us to make sure everything went smoothly. The quality of the performance was truly a 10 out of 10. Guests were completely blown away, and many told us how unforgettable and moving the ceremony music was. The transitions between songs were smooth and perfectly timed. I would 100% recommend this company to any couple looking to add something special to their ceremony. They are incredibly talented, professional, punctual, and just a dream to work with. We’re so grateful to have had them be part of our big day — they helped make it feel absolutely magical.”

“Seductionz Soundz made my dream wedding come to life in the most beautiful and unforgettable way. From the moment we connected, Tiffany was phenomenal — her organization, calm presence, and dedication made me feel cared for every step of the way. She listened to my vision, reassured me when I had concerns, and made sure every detail was handled with love and precision. My wedding was in the garden at The Grand Marquis, outdoors during the day, and I dreamed of walking on clouds for my entrance. Because of the wind, I was told it might not be possible. But Tiffany, DJ Dave, and MC Kevin made it happen for me anyway. The moment I walked in surrounded by clouds was truly magical — like something out of a dream — and it is a memory I will cherish forever. DJ Dave and MC Kevin brought amazing energy, kept the flow perfect, and made sure every moment was seamless and full of joy. Even though it was a daytime wedding, the celebration felt full of life, excitement, and emotion. They didn’t just play music — they created an atmosphere. This team didn’t only provide entertainment — they created memories, moments, and emotions that will stay with me forever. They genuinely cared, and it showed. I would recommend Seductionz Soundz, Tiffany, DJ Dave, and MC Kevin to any bride who wants a team that delivers excellence with heart.”

“DJ Motiv was extraordinary. I was so impressed by his professionalism, communication, and willingness to make sure our night was perfect. I was skeptical at first with some reviews mentioning that the DJ’s weren’t playing the songs they chose. I immediately reached out and that was informed that it would not be an issue. ALL of our chosen music was played, with some song requests of guests (with bride’s approval, per DJ motiv - loved that). DJ Motiv checked in with us constantly, even to make sure our food was at our table, if we needed drinks, if the music was going well, and if there was anything he could do. He was going above and beyond to make sure we had what we needed. I even threw in special requests during my wedding, including him stopping my parent dance half way (on purpose) as if the music turned off, to take the mic and give a short speech. He did it phenomenally. I had a game request, with him being the commentator and director of, and he took that role and ran with it. The wedding guests LOVED him. I have nothing negative to say about his services. Even the photobooth was done great! I also had a custom sign made, with our new last name, and it was perfect! Such a great item to be able keep, and you get a year warranty on it. Anyway, I highly recommend this DJ!! He MADE our wedding perfect. Everyone loved him.”

Eddie was easy to communicate with, and was there for us through the whole experience from beginning to end. The second it was dance time, they got the crowd up and out onto the dance floor in a heartbeat, and most didn’t leave the dance floor until the night was over. DJ was good, knew what songs to play, when to play them, and played the ones I wanted. And the emcee was awesome, funny & easily able to get people involved in whatever!!

“Uptown Groove exceeded every expectation/dream we could have had for our wedding band! In the months leading up to our wedding, Seth worked to ensure every single moment was accounted for. He helped us create a set list that felt authentic to us and the energy we wanted to create and share with loved ones. He is incredibly thoughtful, communicative, detail-oriented and was such a pleasure to work with! On our wedding day, we had the pleasure of working with Harper as our MC and lead vocalist. We had seen videos of Harper beforehand and were so excited to hear him live and wow….he (and truly the entire band) blew us away. We felt like we were in the songs, dancing to the original versions. Weeks later, we’re still hearing from friends and family about how incredible the band was. I’ve already had a few people reach out for their name to book in the future! You truly couldn’t ask for better experience. Everyone is so kind, professional, and unbelievably talented. We wish we could replay the night (specifically the dancing) all over again!

It’s the one-on-one relationship that you have with your event host throughout your planning that will, and absolutely should, spill over into the atmosphere of your event. Getting to know you with the desire to personalize your entertainment, not simply customize, is a large part of where creativity comes from, and not just mine, but yours as well! I love to offer many suggestions and ideas for your event but also find it just as important to hear your "unique" and "awesome" ideas.

“From start to finish, working with Upbeat Occasions was a breeze. DJ Chris was responsive to our requests and took time to really understand what we wanted, while also reading the room and keeping the energy right all night long. His transitions were smooth and the song order kept people engaged—the dance floor didn't empty once, and I was out there dancing to nearly every track. What impressed us most was how laid back he was while staying totally in tune with what the crowd needed, and our guests wouldn't stop raving about the music selection. Chris made our reception feel effortless and fun, and honestly, it's hard to imagine our day going any better. We'd absolutely recommend Upbeat Occasions to anyone looking for a DJ who actually cares about making your wedding special.”

“Booking Carinvalè for our wedding was the absolute BEST decision we could have ever made!! Our venue had recommended BVTLive if we were interested in booking a band, so we watched one of their live showcases streamed live on YouTube. My husband and I enjoyed all of the bands that played, but one really stuck out to us, Carnivalè! We booked Carnivalè without even seeing them in person, that’s how good they are! When we did attend a showcase in person a few weeks later, they exceeded our expectations and we started counting down the days until they would play at our wedding! Working with Nils to lay out all of our options was amazing! He is the sweet person you’ll ever meet and so on top of things! Leading up to the wedding we worked closely with our band leader, El, to choose songs and create a timeline for our wedding. El and Carnivalè have played at tons of events and weddings and were super organized and easy going! Fast forward to our wedding night, El and the band were absolutely INCREDIBLE!! They catered to all ages at our wedding and made it a night to remember! I really can’t put into words how much fun everyone had and how amazing the band sounded the entire night! We are so thankful to El and the band and would highly recommend them to everyone!! If you want your dance floor PACKED all night long, book El and Carinvalè!”

He is funny, easy going, and patient. His questionnaire is very detailed and is very helpful for pulling the music together for the day. He also was very focused on making sure my now husband and I heard what we wanted to hear for the music. During the ceremony, Shawn timed the music perfectly. We saw later watching videos that he even cut the microphone out for my brother, the officiant of the wedding, when my brother almost started talking over parents walking down the aisle. Thanks for that, Shawn! Later in the night, we had other challenges with our timeline due to longer than expected speeches, too many tables to say hi to, and my own indecisiveness. Shawn handled all these obstacles very smoothly, kept an eye on the crowd and helped us stay in tune with when we needed to get the dance floor going. He played the songs we requested and helped us out with choosing songs for younger people. Since the wedding went by so quickly, I think the thing I am most grateful for is all the photos and videos he took of the night. The day was a bit of a blur and Shawn let us relive the night by sending us tons of photos and videos of everyone dancing. Thank you for that, Shawn!”

“From our first conversation, Mike at Soundz Amazing DJ Service made it clear he genuinely cared about making our day special. He stayed in constant touch with monthly checklists and really listened when I talked about the music we wanted—he nailed every song choice and kept the energy perfect all night. What blew us away was how he went above and beyond by collecting voicemails from my late grandpa and creating a touching tribute that we'll treasure forever. The whole event ran without a single hiccup, and his professionalism mixed with his kindness made such a difference. Mike transformed our vision into reality and treated our wedding like it was his own. We can't recommend him enough!!”

“We hired Fingerlakes Entertainment for our wedding and couldn't have asked for a better experience. Nathan was easy to work with from the start—his survey was detailed and made it simple to share exactly what we wanted. He listened to our ideas and really understood our vision, whether it was the DJ selections or the photobooth setup. Our dash photo experience turned out amazing because of his energy and the music he chose for the moment. The photobooth team was on top of everything, making sure we got all the pictures we wanted. What stood out most was seeing Nathan genuinely enjoy himself throughout the night—that kind of enthusiasm is contagious and made our whole celebration feel more fun.”

“Lucas is the best DJ I've ever had!!! He needed no instructions on getting himself to the venue and setting up for our wedding, and was both professional and super chill the entire time. Beyond that, though, he made our party come alive. He was able to read the dance room and always had the perfect next song ready. Wish we could've danced all night. HIGHLY recommend!!”
