“We had The Last Nites at our wedding in upstate NY on 9/14/24 and it was the best decision ever!!! Waylan was such a pleasure to work with, was very responsive and professional, and you can tell he's very passionate about what he does. We had The Last Nites do our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception and they were amazing! Waylan had really great suggestions for song choices when we were stuck on what to do for the ceremony and entrance songs and it sounded fantastic. They learned 2 songs for us and executed them perfectly. During the reception, they truly brought the energy and everyone was up dancing ALL night! I received so many texts the next day about how amazing they were and asking how I found The Last Nites! We truly cannot thank you enough for making our day so fun, special, and stress free. I cannot recommend The Last Nites enough and we are so so grateful to have found them!!!”

“When I hired All In Entertainment, I had multiple options to choose from; however, Anthony's energetic and relatable personality and his knowledge and expertise was what made me choose him as my provider for DJ services. When the time came for my wedding day, (we DIY'D everything) so naturally we ran entirely behind schedule! That's when my DJ Mike SAVED the day along with my photographer and they basically took the coordination of placing the guests in and out of the appropriate rooms and they even helped me make a candle light outdoor ceremony look even better. Mike was exceptional, he confirmed that all the songs that were specifically requested for the ceremony and introductions were played and he went over them with me to make sure that he had them correct AND HE DID! Anthony ABSOLUTELY killed it with the intro remix I requested! Overall it was a great experience from booking to the actual day of the event. Thank you All In Entertainment and team! The Darby's”

We were particularly happy with some of Kevin's suggestions such as the table dash photos (which are so great to have) and all the guests rushing up to us on the dance floor, which was really fun and made for great photos.

“11/10! Absolutely use Non-Traditional Wedding DJs! We had the absolute best experience working with DJ Nico Rojo and owner Ben Boylan at Non-Traditional Wedding DJs. My wife and I got married in October 2025 at Farm to People in Bushwick, Brooklyn. Music is very important to me and I cared a lot about our choice of DJ, and consequently met with a lot of different DJ services. It was immediately clear that NT DJs would be our choice once I met with them. Nico and Ben both convey high levels of competence and professionalism while retaining the feeling of a business owned and operated by real people, and importantly real people who genuinely care about your wedding and experience. When I think wedding DJ, my mind, and I think many people's, first goes to "what music is being played during the reception when everyone is on the dance floor?" You'll actually work with your DJ for way more than that - ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and maybe more depending on your special day. Nico was not only great at that first, narrow idea of a DJ, but he was consistently awesome for every part of our wedding day. Whether he was determining what part of the evening music should be played, mixing and sequencing, or picking music that 'rhymed' with the rest of our selections, I felt very comfortable and at ease knowing he would crush it (and he did). Importantly, we are low-key and understated people and wanted our DJ to reflect that - we wanted to skip the common DJ-as-Hypeman setup that usually includes yelling into the microphone for folks to "get out on the dancefloor." Nico worked with us to understand how we wanted announcements and intro's to go and was happy to customize to our preferences. Everything was so smooth. We were able to think about all the other facets of planning a wedding while working with Nico & Ben!”

We met prior to the wedding to go over our favorite music choices and just with a simple list of songs, he was able to create an amazing playlist/mixes of songs that kept to party going ALL night. One of my guests even mentioned she caught two wedding crashers who were dining downstairs at the restaurant of our wedding venue who joked “we had to come upstairs and take a look because the music is great!” Several years later we hired Unique Class DJs for our daughter’s birthday and Javier was also amazing.

We felt at ease from the first meet and greet with Jamie and impressed he came out to meet us face to face instead of keeping everything virtual.

He worked seamlessly with our planner, kept everything flowing, and the music was perfect all night. He’s punctual, incredibly charismatic, professional, flexible, knowledgeable and everything you need and more from a Dj. If we could book him again, we would. Sean really is the real deal.

From the very beginning, Kristin was incredibly kind and easy to work with. She even learned 5 new songs for us! She learned songs for our first dance, father/daughter dance, mother/son dance, and even learned Taylor Swift’s “Love Story” for me, a huge Swiftie! Kristin performed a whole range of songs, from pop to rock to even some oldies that pleased my older relatives! Everyone at our wedding found a song to dance to by the end of the night. Our guests kept coming up to my husband and I just to say how much they loved the band, but notably, Kristin! Needless to say, Kristin absolutely rocked it and created some special moments that my husband and I will never forget!

“The photographer, videographer, and photo booth was absolutely perfect and our guests had a blast! However, even after going through the work of submitting a Spotify play list and adding do not play songs or DJ played the wrong version of our first dance song (I checked and we had the correct version listed on our playlist we sent over), he also played songs from our do not play list to the point I, the bride, came over to ask if he had the wrong list. He admitted he was using songs from the do not play list as he was not paying attention. I would also like to note, though our wedding was more casual, our DJ was dressed in a sloppy manner.

The uplights they brought for the room were priced very well and created a beautiful atmosphere. The music planning worksheet they provided was incredibly helpful, and they offered valuable advice on the timeline and flow of the reception, which was a huge help.

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.

“When my husband and I were searching for DJ's for our wedding, we were immediately impressed when we got to Dan's website. When we met Dan in person at an open house at our venue, the choice was made even easier. Dan represented himself and his company as professional, experienced and polished. He came across as a real and heartfelt guy who is just really passionate about what he loves doing, something we've found rare in our past experiences with DJs. As we began our music journey with Dan, he was consistently in touch with us with reminders, suggestions, playlists, timelines and was always ready, willing and able to take our questions and provide valuable feedback. Dan listened to our needs as a couple and really got to know us so he could make personalized recommendations, such as a private first dance so that we, as introverts, could have a few moments alone on a wonderful but overwhelming day. On the wedding day, Dan made sure every detail was ironed out and made us feel completely at ease throughout the entire process. Our wedding was phenomenal and every guest we spoke to had an amazing time! We would highly recommend Dan for any event and we are confident that he will surpass your expectations!”
