Marcus Ho Dj

New York, NY
  • DJ
  • Starts at $2,950

A 16-year veteran of the NYC club scene. I collaborate closely with couples to create their unique musical experiences for themselves and their guests by delivering a Sophisticated Savoire-Faire of seamlessly blended hits from past decades to what's currently in vogue; citing T-40 Dance, House, IndiePop/Rock, Nu-Disko, Hip Hop, Funk, Soul, Disco, Latin and Reggae as some of my favorites.

Awarded Best of Zola
Marcus did an amazing job as the DJ for our wedding at the Prospect Park Boathouse! Prior to the wedding, we completed a worksheet on the timeline and our song preferences, and then had a planning meeting with him where we went over all the details and he gave us advice on flow and timeline based on his extensive experience DJ-ing weddings. Through all our interactions, we could tell how detail-oriented and experienced he was. The Prospect Park Boathouse can be a tricky venue with its short load-in time and long, narrow layout, but Marcus knew it well and planned accordingly. We also had a Vietnamese/Chinese wedding; in addition to a DJ, we also had a pianist with a singer, and a bilingual emcee. This added some complexity in terms of timeline and switching between the singer and the DJ, but Marcus coordinated well with everyone, kept track of the timeline, and handled all transitions between live music and DJ sets seamlessly. He also showed up a little early to make sure all equipment was set up well and did a mic check during the cocktail hour. During the dance portion of the night, the dance floor was packed all night and people did not want to leave! He played all the songs we wanted (along with additional ones he selected) and all the transitions and mixes were fantastic and kept the energy/vibe high. Many guests commented on how great our DJ was! Even though we had a different emcee, we know that Marcus would have done a fantastic job as an emcee as well - he is warm, friendly, gracious, and charismatic. He is not only a great DJ but also a fantastic human being!

My name is Nidhi, and I had the most wonderful experience with Anastasia and Julia. They did makeup and hair for me, my mom, and my sister on the day of my wedding, and I can honestly say — everything was absolutely perfect. From the very beginning, Anastasia made us feel calm and confident. She really listened to what each of us wanted — my soft glam look, my mom’s more classic style, and my sister’s fresh, youthful vibe — and tailored the looks beautifully to suit each one of us. Julia styled our hair with so much care and attention to detail. I loved my waves, and my mom’s elegant updo made her feel so special.

Awarded Best of Zola
When we first started looking at DJ’s and music for our wedding, I originally wanted a violinist and/or cellist. I met with one business, they were late and unprofessional but the price seemed reasonable for two musicians. That same night we met with Kenny and the difference was substantial. Kenny was on time, had a presentation ready to go, was incredibly professional, and highly personable. We met several times throughout the planning process and felt very comfortable with him. He’s so down to earth and really lets you know he is there for you, not anyone else. Kenny is worth every single cent, he was our favorite wedding vendor. The communication was impeccable. We did not have a wedding planner, with my type A personality and Kenny’s expertise, we stayed perfectly on time, announcements were seamless, and it was truly such a great day. At the end of the reception, day of, I asked to dedicate a song to my husband (“Shout” #gobills) and at first Kenny thought he didn’t have it. But guess what… we ended the wedding with our closest friends singing and cheering on our Buffalo Bills. It was a moment we will never forget, all thanks to Kenny. Go ahead and book him, he truly elevated our wedding experience and everyone loved him!

We absolutely loved our wedding at The Sanctuary! We initially worked with Amelia and then with Arthur and Kat towards the end of our planning process. Every contact at The Sanctuary was very responsive and accommodating. We loved the space, especially having multiple different areas for guests to enjoy (the chapel for dancing/desserts, the tent for dinner/conversation, and the outdoor patio for smores!) and the beautiful NYC skyline in the background. The bridal suite where we all got ready was spacious and comfortable. I was a little nervous about the temperature in the tent during a November wedding, but it was very comfortable!

From the first phone call with Pavel, I knew we were going to have an amazing team. Pavel was so incredibly thorough and reassuring and helped create a perfect timeline for the day. The team, Eddy, Rob & Dave, were so charismatic and knowledgeable. They knew exactly what to do and what instructions to give my husband and I to create the most beautiful and intimate photos. We’re a little camera shy, so the fact they were able to direct us and make us feel comfortable shows their expertise. We are so beyond happy with our photos, full length video and highlight reels. Also - I have to say, the team is so great at capturing AMAZING candids during the party! There were times I didn’t even know they were behind me, and I am so happy to have all these moments captured. I did not feel like I had a camera in my face during the party at all! We had 3K AMAZING photos to look through, and EVERY photo is fantastic.

And let me tell you— I took every chance to be in front of her camera after that. She’s our photographer for life.

We had FUN spending time with her for both our engagement and wedding photos. Aside from her amazing skills - she went ABOVE AND BEYOND to coordinate our engagement photos with us when we were living in California. She was the easiest choice we made and we love every photo she took for us. Cannot recommend her highly enough! - Chelsean Nick

Ani is, quite simply, the best wedding planner you could ever hope for—better than the planner you’d imagine in your wildest dreams. My husband and I hired Ani as a partial planner 5 months before our wedding after having already chosen our venue and a few initial vendors. From the moment she stepped in, she transformed the entire process. I have so many extraordinary things to say about Ani, not only about her talent as a planner but also about her warmth, her energy, and the kind of person she is, that it’s hard to know where to begin but here goes. I chose a partial planning package because I thought I was too Type A to let go of control, but it turns out that Ani is the Type A soulmate I didn’t know I needed. I suffer from major decision paralysis, and from the minute she joined the process, she brought clarity and structure. She sent me beautifully organized checklists, spreadsheets, and internal deadlines so nothing fell through the cracks. Her reminders were always gentle but effective—never overwhelming. Her organizational skills are truly unmatched. She also has deep industry connections and helped me secure all remaining vendors—each one a perfect fit. She showed up for everything: tastings, linen selections, floral samples; she stayed in constant communication with every vendor, tracked payment schedules for me, and made sure every detail was executed flawlessly. Ani is a fierce, tireless and unstoppable go-getter. She will bring your vision to life, and if you don’t yet know what your vision is, she will help you discover it. She has the answer to every question you can imagine, even to those you don’t even know to ask. Throughout the process, we felt like we were her only clients. Her responsiveness is almost superhuman. She always answered texts within minutes, often seconds. And always with an amazing attitude. She makes you feel taken care of in a way that is both comforting and confidence-boosting. But beyond all that, her personality is the true magic. Wedding planning can be stressful, and emotional, and finding someone you click with is essential. Ani is that person. She is sweet, funny, grounded, and so easy to be around. My family and bridal party are full of big personalities, and Ani navigated everyone with grace. She read the room and knew exactly what each person needed. Everyone loved her. We became friends and remain friends years later. You can be completely yourself with her. She will talk you off every ledge - wedding related or not. She is young, charming, vibrant, diligent, and radiates this incredible positive energy without being over the top. She is the exact person you want by your side on your wedding day. Her team is equally great, going above and beyond. For example, I unexpectedly got my period the morning of my wedding. Before I could even process the panic, someone from her team had sprinted out, bought tampons, and returned before I even knew she’d left. That’s the level of care you get with Ani. I would hire her again in every lifetime. My wedding was the happiest, most fun day of my life, and I owe so much of that to Ani. If you’re lucky enough to get a chance to work with her, do not hesitate. She is extraordinary.

I'm Claire. I opened WedWell in 2014 after I had a terrible experience with the planner for my wedding (which is why I aim for a low stress, high fun planning environment). With over a decade of experience in events, it was time that I started helping couples through the wedding planning process. I love all things weddings: the couples, the venues, the uniqueness, the love, the families, the vows, the toasts, the dancing, the photo booths, the cake (well, any dessert really). I love working with all couples because I truly believe love is love. So let's get started!

TLDR: Claire is the absolute best!! If you are looking for a wedding planner, you can stop looking now. I am a very type A person with high expectations and Claire has exceeded them all! Our wedding day was absolutely perfect and I cannot thank her more. Please see our pictures, credited to Alicia King Photography (https://aliciakingphotography.com/) First: She is a real problem solver - our dream venue was non-negotiable (and one she found/recommended!), but we had issues finding certain vendors (not the venue’s fault, mainly had to do with timing). For example, we were having trouble finding our perfect florist, transportation and hair and makeup - Claire used her contacts and relationships and were able to find the most wonderful team for us and we could not be more grateful. It was true dedication for her to take matters into her own hands when my husband and I were thinking of giving up (i.e., we started looking into DIY options) and it is a testament to her reputation, character, and professionalism that certain vendors decided to make exceptions for us just to be able to work with her again Second: She has great judgment - many parts of the wedding process are not straightforward, and it was great to have Claire be a sounding board for what to do and what not to do. She will always try to give us what we want, but that does not mean that she’s a “yes-woman” and she will always offer her perspective with clear rationale when asked. Third: She cares so much - you can tell she genuinely wants to have each wedding be the best it can be! As you look through her portfolio (check out her instagram “@wewedwell”, where she began making reels post weddings) you’ll see that each wedding is unique and beautiful - no cookie cutter copy and paste here! Our respect for Claire grew through the little moments, whether it’s her proactive emails/lists telling us our immediate next steps (many of which would never occur to me), following up with vendors without prompting, super organized Google drive for resources, and just being extremely responsive (or proactively telling us when she may be slower to respond while working a wedding/on vacation/etc) We loved working with Claire!

We couldn’t be happier with choosing Bryan as our wedding photographer and are mesmerized with the moments he was able to capture of our intimate courthouse wedding in NYC! From the beginning Bryan was very responsive and easy to communicate with. The ceremony was as fast as possible, but he still beautifully captured every moment. Bryan made us feel comfortable with his easy going personality and moved seamlessly from laughing with us to creating photos that perfectly told the story of our day. He is a true professional who makes the process feel easy and fun. We would definitely recommend Bryan!
