“Louis Pettinelli Entertainment was an absolute dream to work with. I thought that a live band for our wedding would be out of our reach, but LPE was so easy to work with and what an incredible value! Our band, LPE Snapshot was incredible and our ceremony musicians were amazing too! The vocalists were high energy and kept the whole event moving. They were great Emcess and they even added some special non-traditional reception activities for us. They were super flexible and played all the songs we asked for- even some very “niche” tracks we asked for during the ceremony. So many of my guests said the band was their favorite part of the reception. I highly recommend LPE entertainment! (I am also a musician myself so I’m very picky!)”

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.

“Finding a DJ and putting your trust in them can be stressful because you truly don’t know what to expect until the day of, but DJ Dan absolutely exceeded our expectations! 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. We are so grateful we chose him!”

“Marcus DJ'd our wedding this past weekend and he was the best DJ we could ask for! We had an initial consultation with him to align on what we're generally looking for, completed a "worksheet" with all the music and MCing details and any specific songs/playlists we wanted played, and then a final meeting to review the day from top to bottom. Marcus was communicative and easy to reach with any questions during this time. On the day of the wedding, he came several hours ahead of time to set up and prepare. During the wedding, Marcus played all the music from guest arrival to reception exactly how we envisioned, and MC'd all of the entrances, first dances, guest photos, etc. exactly on time and without too much fluff, which is what we wanted. Later, he played a great set of 2010s-2020s EDM and hype guest favorites that got the dance floor lit, and with great mixing and transitions too. Highly recommend Marcus if you're looking for a wedding DJ who's very skilled/experienced and just really knows music (not your average wedding DJ)!”

Music has always been my way of connecting with people. I’ve spent years DJing weddings and private events where the right song changes the whole room. I love working with couples who care about how their night feels and want their guests to feel included and alive in the moment. I do this because there is nothing better than seeing a room full of people celebrating together to music that feels like it was made for them.

“There truly aren't enough stars. If you're having a wedding (or literally any life function at all) and want your guests to have the absolute best time dancing, browse no further. In addition to making sure all was smooth on the sound for our ceremony, Peter was the legit heartbeat of our reception. From curating an excellent and eclectic dinner mix to editing our (unique) first dance song choice down to perfection to keeping our friends nonstop dancing from forks down to the 1am tail end of our afterparty, there's nothing this man can't do. On top of that, he'll do it while dancing and vibing out as hard as anyone, and bringing wamrth, kindness and collaboration at every step. He also truly lives up to the Peter Piper-ness of his name. Every moment I was convinced I needed to call it and rest, he knew just the perfect song to make you pivot right on back to the dance floor and keep going. All of the glowing hype in every review is so real. Brb, hitting up my HR team to see about getting him at our holiday party.”

“My husband and I were planning a celebration in Hoboken for the fall of ’24 and when it came time to book our DJ, I knew that I wanted to book with 4AM without question. Having worked with Madison Janice before (I work in hospitality events), I already knew that they are the absolute best at what they do and would match us with the perfect DJ. That they did, and soon we were connected with DJ TRE, who’s an absolute ray of sunshine KILLER DJ. When certain circumstances forced us to rethink the wedding location and cancel the Hoboken event, we needed to regroup and change our original plans. We eventually decided on a smaller, intimate event in Malibu, and the 4AM team was BEYOND accommodating and understanding and we were so grateful to learn that TRE could DJ for us on the West Coast! Tre was incredible on our big day and kept our friends and family grooving all day – she provided the perfect soundtrack to the most spectacular Malibu day.

And cook he did. A good dance floor was important to us (my wife LOVES to dance) and he couldn't have delivered a better dance floor vibe. Alex is a total pro from start to finish but doesn't have that generic, sometimes cheesy "wedding DJ" vibe. He picked up on our taste and played exactly what we had in mind. We also booked a saxophonist through Alex and WOW was that a hit. The sax player (also named Alex) was a high energy, high vibes addition. Totally recommend asking AE about that.”

“To put it simply, you have to hire 45 Riots. It is not an exaggeration to say that every person at my wedding came up to my parents, my husband or I to say this was the best wedding band they'd ever seen. I'm in the Broadway community, and my husband's father is a professional musician, so that's high praise coming from people who know music! From start to finish, they were great about communication and getting to know our tastes. At the wedding, every song was a hit and the dance floor was packed. They were great about reading the room and handling all our formalities, including ceremony music and cocktail hour. Additionally, they had no problem learning songs that we wanted that weren't on their Song List. My husband's father is in a well-known rock band and 45 Riots learned a 7-minute long hit song of theirs to play with my father-in-law & brother-in-law. To say that performance was epic is an understatement. They completely rose to the occasion and our guests were floored. I can't recommend 45 Riots enough! Thanks for everything, guys!”

“Gillian is a genius!!! And a dynamo! And just a wonderful person to work with. She has the most incredible knack for understanding what you want for your event, and really does make things happen from end-to-end. The thing that’s most impressive about her work is her ability to just foresee all the little details and things that need to be tied up so that everything is seamless and perfectly choreographed. That is sometimes the hardest and most valuable part of pulling off a great event! Thank you and can’t wait to do it again.”

“We booked Sound Society for our wedding last month after seeing them perform at a wedding band showcase and WOW did they deliver!!! We ended up booking Sound Society as a three piece string arrangement for our ceremony and as a 10-piece band for our reception with emcee duties and they hit it out of the park. Every part of the process was simple and organized-- Neil from their team helped us choose special songs for the ceremony, tailor our do-not-plays and must-plays for the evening, and plotted out speaking cues throughout the night. A month later and we are still getting compliments about how alive our wedding band was! I spent two solid hours grooving on the dance floor and have no doubt you would do the same if you booked Sound Society.”

“Working virtually with Anthony and his team at Quality DJ Services Inc. was a truly wonderful experience. From the pricing, communication, and all-around service, they were top-notch. Anthony was truly a joy to work with - he understood exactly what we were looking for, and every genre of music played during our wedding reception was on point. The quality of their work and value provided was high, and they brought a warm, professional energy to our special day. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ company to be a part of our wedding celebration.”
