“We had a wonderful experience working with Bobby from The DJ Company. His communication throughout the planning process was always prompt, kind, and stress-free. On our big day, Bobby brought exceptional professionalism and talent that elevated the entire event. He seamlessly handled both the acoustic guitar ceremony music and DJ reception duties, fulfilling all our requested songs and keeping guests engaged. Bobby made things personal by playing guitar live for our ceremony, learning special songs just for us. During the reception he read the room perfectly, playing hits our diverse group of friends and family could all enjoy. We really appreciated Bobby's friendly demeanor and flexibility to make our wedding day unique to us as a couple. The quality and reliability of his services were fantastic, especially for the value. We wholeheartedly recommend The DJ Company for your important events!”

“I cannot rave enough about Luvdup DJs. We worked with Gemma, and she is just the sweetest. She was super helpful in the planning process, listened to what my husband and I were really looking for in our wedding DJ, and threw an epic party for us on the day-of.

“Our wedding on January 17, 2026, at The Wave Hotel in Orlando, Florida, felt like a living fairytale. The soul-stirring music of Sweet Harmony was the heartbeat that made every moment unforgettable. From our very first Zoom call to the final shimmering notes that lingered in the warm Florida evening air, this quartet didn’t just perform; they transformed our day into pure magic! Planning a destination wedding can be overwhelming, but Sweet Harmony made it effortless and joyful. Kasia Dolinska was an absolute dream to work with, warm, brilliantly organized, and genuinely excited about our vision. Her quick responses, thoughtful suggestions, and deep understanding of how music shapes emotion took all the stress out of the process. Their pricing was not only competitive but an incredible value for the level of talent and professionalism we received. We were especially blown away by their vast, beautifully curated song list; everything from timeless classics to modern indie favorites, which let us create a playlist that felt completely, authentically “us.” My musician husband even had the chance to discuss possibly performing alongside them, and Kasia’s enthusiasm made us feel like true collaborators rather than just clients. On the wedding day, Sweet Harmony arrived perfectly on time, elegantly dressed in classic black, adding an air of refined sophistication to our outdoor garden ceremony. But it was their sound that left us breathless. Rich, vibrant, and impossibly crisp, every note floated on the gentle breeze like liquid gold, wrapping our guests in warmth, romance, and pure joy. You could feel the emotion in the air, smiles widened, eyes glistened, and people swayed gently as the music wrapped around us like a loving embrace. The seamless transition from ceremony to cocktail hour was flawless: they simply turned their chairs and continued playing without missing a single beat, keeping the elegant atmosphere flowing effortlessly as guests mingled and celebrated. The absolute pinnacle of our day, a moment we still get chills thinking about, was their breathtaking rendition of “Turning Page” by Sleeping At Last during our processional, walking hand in hand down the aisle. The music was delicate, light, resonant, and so deeply moving that I instinctively slowed my steps, wanting to savor every exquisite note. It felt like the entire world paused; the strings poured out love, hope, and forever in a way that words can never capture. That single piece turned the beginning of our forever into something transcendent. We can’t wait to relive it in our wedding video. If you’re dreaming of a wedding that feels intimate, elegant, and emotionally unforgettable, Sweet Harmony is the only choice! Their extraordinary talent, heartfelt passion, and flawless professionalism elevated our day in ways we never imagined possible. Kasia and the entire quartet truly gifted us the most beautiful, memorable day of our lives. We recommend them with every ounce of our hearts! They don’t just play music; they create magic! Thank-you! Más & Vin”

“Before planning anything else about our wedding we already knew that the most important thing was going to be making sure it had an incredible dance floor. We had been joking during planning that a wedding was the biggest party you’ll ever throw and we wanted everyone to remember having fun dancing the night away. Matt at Supersounds made sure that that dream came true. It is clear why Supersounds was on all of our vendors’ recommended lists; they are all incredibly professional, organized, responsive, and kind. After talking with Matt we knew he would be the perfect DJ for our wedding. It was clear he was both easy going but passionate about what he does. Throughout the planning process he was able to give us advice on ceremony logistics, music, and cut together our first dance song. He helped explain what his role usually was on the wedding day and made sure that it agreed with our vision. He did an excellent job mixing the ceremony and adjusting the volumes on the microphone on the fly so that all of the audience was able to hear throughout. We had a lot of music that we knew we wanted played at the reception and cocktail hour and Matt hit all of our must plays while mixing in some extra songs that the crowd loved. The dance floor was alive the entire party and he even surprised us by sneaking in an extra final song by our favorite artist. All of our friends have told us what a great time they had at our wedding and it was in no small part thanks to Matt and Supersounds! We would absolutely hire them again and recommend them to any of our friends!”

“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.”

I provide professional sound, immersive dance-floor lighting, uplighting, and a photo booth guests love — so you can relax and fully enjoy an unforgettable night.

“Booking DJ Ore was one of the best calls we made for our wedding. From our first phone call to the last song at 1am, he was on top of everything — quick to respond, organized, and genuinely invested in getting our day right. We got married at a camp in the Catskills with the ceremony out in the woods, which meant some tricky logistics: separate sound for the ceremony in the trees, load-in with the venue staff, a timeline that kept shifting on him. Ore handled all of it and we never had to think about any of it. The music was unreal, and he kept the dance floor packed the entire night. Our guests basically refused to leave it, and we honestly lost count of how many people came up to us throughout the night to say how good the music and the DJ were. The thing I'll always remember, though, is how he made space for my Tío to play. My Tío sang and played guitar, and Ore made sure he had everything he needed to do it right. He and Chris brought so much energy and just knew how to keep the room going. If you want a DJ who's professional, easy to talk to, and cares about your day, book him. Thank you for everything, Ore — you gave us a night we won't forget. Cannot recommend enough.”

His online forum was easy to navigate and use. We loved the uplighting and the audio guestbook (phone)!! Also I appreciate that he read and followed through with all the small notes we left for him (specifically we asked for father/daughter, mother/son and first dance to end after the chorus and not play the entire 3-4 minutes).

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.”

“DJ Brian was the absolute best! We have been to so many weddings since our own, and almost everyone who was in attendance at ours comes up to us complimenting how amazing our DJ was. Brian was professional, kind, patient, and so fun to work with. As a couple who procrastinated every step of the wedding planning process, we came across Larger Than Life Entertainment 3 weeks before the wedding... Brian was quick to respond and hopped on multiple phone calls with us to give a rundown of everything he offered, his style, and even examples of songs and music he likes to play to get the dance floor going. He made the process smooth and stress-free. I can't say enough AMAZING things but if any part of you is considering booking DJ Brian all I can say is do it, you won't reget it!!”

“The O-Tones were an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. Their communication style was highly customized and efficient, making the planning process a breeze. On the day of the wedding, they read the room beautifully and handled themselves and our group in a way that added levels of enjoyment. With their expansive songbook and professional execution, they delivered exceptional value that was truly worth it. We couldn't have asked for a better wedding band - they were an integral part of making our special day unforgettable.”

“If you need a DJ, look no further than Shawn! We are so happy with him from the start to the end. He made it so easy this entire process and calmed our nerves when we were overwhelmed. He played everything we asked which was a big deal for us. We had several songs that had hidden meanings. Our dance floor was packed all night and our guests are still talking about what an amazing time they had a month later. Two of our friends are getting married and I'm pretty sure Shawn will be their DJ. My grandfather even danced and I don't think he has done that since our wedding. Everything was just perfect. I wish I could give him more than 5 stars.”

  • Serves Riparius, NY

I’m Alex Edge — a DJ, music curator, and lifelong fan of a great party. I started Alex Edge & Co. to bring a more personal, elevated energy to wedding entertainment. With years of experience behind the decks and a sharp instinct for reading the room, I’ve built a trusted collective of DJs and musicians who know how to create unforgettable moments.

Awarded Best of Zola
“Alex was a total hit at our wedding! We had some specific songs we wanted to play - and he did - but we mostly trusted him and had a saying leading up to the wedding: "let Alex cook." 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.”

“Lucas took our wedding reception to a whole different level with his DJ skills and selections! His friendly and calm demeanor made communication very easy and stress-free. We also felt that he genuinely cared about and understood our vision, and then executed it perfectly. The highest compliment is that countless wedding guests told us during/after the reception that Lucas was "the best DJ they've ever heard at a wedding" -- we couldn't agree more. Do yourself and your guests a favor, book Lucas.”
