“Michael was fantastic. He was very easy to work with, always available to video call and worked hard to make the day exactly how we wanted it. He gave us great recommendations and knew how to make the night flow seamlessly. Once the party started, it never stopped. Everyone was on the dance floor and having a blast. He went above and beyond and used an app where we could curate our timeline, song choices, and personalized touches. He even took behind the scenes photos and so many videos and audio files of virtually our entire reception. He captured all of the important moments for us, included in his price, such as the first dance, speeches, and bouquet toss. His lighting was gorgeous during dinner and energetic during dancing. I highly highly recommend.”

“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.”

“DJ Rocky was absolutely incredible and truly made our wedding unforgettable! From start to finish, the energy was nonstop and the dance floor was never empty. He read the crowd perfectly, played all the right songs at the right time, and kept everyone from our friends to our families dancing all night long. A great DJ can make or break a wedding, and DJ Rocky absolutely MADE ours. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would recommend him to anyone without hesitation!

I’m Jay and I'm the owner of La Bella and The Beat. I spend my weekends entertaining, celebrating and partying with some of the best people I’ve ever met. Music has always been a passion of mine--from my boombox days in 1st grade, playing for whoever would listen from my neighborhood driveway, to when my DJing side hustle of 13 years became my full-time career in 2018. I’m a versatile mobile DJ serving New Hampshire, Maine, and Massachusetts (or really anywhere looking for a party). For the past decade, I’ve been rocking events all across New England. No my adventures even take the parties abroad.

“Hands down, the best DJ in so many ways. Professional, personable, flexible and most importantly super talented and incredibly FUN! As a vendor in the events industry, we have worked with Jay and we are always excited to see him performing, bringing a group together to celebrate and see them having a great time. Personally, we have worked with Jay for our company events as well as our own family celebrations over the last few years. He reads the room, knows exactly how to keep the crowd going and seeing him behind his booth with his giant smile makes him a huge part of the celebration. We always hear compliments and rave reviews from our guests after a party with Jay. Half of our family is hispanic and is always requesting the latin hits, and he always delivers! He makes sure to get an understanding of the event, the invited guests and is always in communication so that he is prepared for it all! In addition to his talent. He offers a great photo booth option, which we use at all our holiday parties and an incredible lighting package to help enhance the atmosphere. He helps create and compliment the entire vibe at any event. Five Stars All Day!!! Thank you Jay for helping us create such wonderful memories for our team, friends and family!”
