We had our first DJ call with John Pitone and there was no reason to interview anyone else. From the very beginning he made us feel comfortable with him and he projected a confidence that all of our requests were not only possible, but would be easy for him to accommodate. Our wedding was near the 200 guest mark and when we told John that he responded with excitement and couldn’t wait to face the challenge of getting 200 people on the dance floor. He accomplished his mission because the dance floor was full for the entire reception. Throughout the whole process John made communication easy and was very quick to get responses back to us. We have no complaints and would not only recommend John, but will go out of our was to recommend him to our friends and family that get married in the future.

Anthony was a pleasure to work with. We loved his easy going personality. My husband and I hit it off with him immediately. We loved how he let us customize our entire wedding playlist which was so impressive. His portal for uploading music was so easy to use. Anthony was very thorough leading up to the wedding. He was great at communicating. Anthony was able to make a lot of special requests like having my husband sing at the wedding. A few minor things happened at the wedding like the mic did not work, but Anthony was able to work through it. My venue also didn’t let him dim the lights down initially, but he eventually figured out a way to do it, so the dance floor can be lit. All in all, we are so happy we booked All in Entertainment for our wedding.

Jay absolutely made our wedding!! The dance floor was packed the entire time. He understood the vibes and read the room so well. Leading up to the day, Jay was super communicative — answering every question we had and keeping us on track to make sure every music detail was thought about. Plus, the app he provided for planning made song selection and special requests seamless, collaborative and super manageable! The DJ / instrumental fusion he offers brought the dance floor to the next level!

I first experienced the party and excitement of Goody Blue Shoes at a local restaurant in 2014, from that moment I wanted them to preform at my wedding. Fast forward 9 years, my then boyfriend, Daniel and I got engaged and knew exactly who we wanted to call. As we reminisce on our wedding day, Daniel and I cannot express how blessed and grateful we were to have the opportunity to work with John. From the moment we called him to ask questions, each and every meeting, until the end of our fairy tale wedding, John and his team were amazing- words cannot describe. John was so patient, caring and willing to do whatever it took to turn our dream wedding into a reality! We had a few songs played during the night for special reasons for loved ones and GBS were absolutely top notch. I cannot imagine our wedding without Goody Blue Shoes preforming our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. Booking GBS, you and your guests are guaranteed to have the night of your lives! -Daniel and Gina Crawford

Bennie DJ’d our wedding and we were extremely pleased, from the start of the planning process, all the way through to the big day! When we initially met with Bennie, he gave us a blueprint that allowed us to share our thoughts and vision (for example, we wanted music, karaoke, and I also wanted to sing/play violin during the ceremony). From there, he collaborated with us, providing excellent suggestions, based on his previous experiences. He also reviewed the schedule and logistics with us, to make sure all the necessary equipment was mapped out. Our sound setup was perfect for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. He kept the energy high, and it was clear that guests felt comfortable approaching him to make music requests during the reception, too! Throughout the entire day, he read the crowd and knew exactly when it was the right time for karaoke, upbeat songs, slower songs, etc. Our wedding was a blast... largely in part to Bennie’s talent and expertise!

When my husband and I started our wedding planning journey, we wanted to find a DJ that would be able to play music form both my culture (Haitian) and my husbands (Puerto Rican). During my search, his business popped up on IG. I went through his IG profile and knew he was the one I wanted. I sent his profile to my husband and he sold. What also sold us was all the extra services he had! Everything all in one place. In all I booked the sparklers, smoke machine, 360 Photo Booth, an Emcee, and gobo lights. My first dance, OMG. Guests are sending me videos they took. Being in the experience was one thing. Watching the videos, I couldn’t stop crying at how beautiful it turned out. The smoke machine and sparklers just brought everything together. Everyone RAVED about the 360 booth. And the MUSIC. We didnt stop moving all night. I got so many phone calls that week about how great the music was, how sore people were from dancing all night lol. We had a diverse group of people and he was able to reach everyone.

Hi, I’m Dan Ross — a NYC-based DJ with over a decade of experience bringing unforgettable energy to weddings, private events, and dance floors across the city. From your first dance to your final send-off, I’ll work with you to craft a soundtrack that feels like you — blending hip-hop, pop, reggaeton, R&B, afrobeats, house, and more to keep the energy flowing and the dance floor full. Whether I’m DJing or MCing, my focus is always on creating a seamless experience your guests will remember long after the night ends.

Dan was absolutely amazing as the DJ for our wedding at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden in 2026! He struck such a great balance between being organized, professional, and genuinely fun to work with. From the beginning, we felt confident that he understood the kind of night we wanted. Our music taste was all over the map — traditional Chinese music, ’90s emo, K-pop, country, and classic wedding dance floor staples — and Dan somehow made it all feel cohesive. He took our requests seriously, read the room beautifully, and kept the dance floor packed right up until the end of the night. He was also an excellent MC and audio professional. He helped us with some custom audio requests during the ceremony, we had no issues with mics or sound at all (I was worried) and during the reception, he kept the timeline moving, made announcements at the right moments, communicated well with our planner, and brought the perfect amount of energy without taking over the spotlight. As a stressed out, perfectionist bride, I had no worries with Dan. We could not have asked for a better DJ!

My husband and I used Direct Entertainment for our DJ and videographer for our wedding and we could not be more pleased!! The team was professional, great at communication, very kind and professional, and they helped make our day absolutely perfect! Jeff, our DJ kept the dance floor alive ALL NIGHT!! When the music had to stop at the end of the night, the dance floor was still completely full and no one wanted it to end. He did a great job announcing the events of the night, made sure that our ceremony music was perfect, and he stuck to our wedding playlist with the exception for a couple guest requests (which we were happy to allow). We were so happy and thankful to have Jeff there! Sie, our videographer also did a wonderful job! We have not yet received our video as our wedding was less than 2 weeks ago, but I already know it is going to be amazing. He was so great with communication, was prompt with his timing, and he even set up a second camera for guests to break away and give us well wishes for our marriage, which I'm so excited to watch back. He was very professional and wonderful to work with. We decided to add videography at the last minute because we thought we might regret not having it, and I am SO happy we asked Jim at Direct Entertainment if they had someone available for our day just a month before, and they did!! Jim, the coordinator at Direct Entertainment frequently checked in with us, asked us questions about ourselves, and genuinely made us feel like he cared about us and our special day. He was great to work with leading up to being assigned our designated DJ and videographer, and even after, he checked in to make sure we were happy and that all of the planning was going well. Overall, we would 1000% recommend Direct Entertainment for any wedding entertainment needs!

Awarded Best of Zola
My now husband and I just got married on 02.27.26 and working with Chris was a dream. When it came time to plan our wedding, we always we knew we wanted a DJ who does things their own way and not a “traditional” wedding DJ/MC. From our very first touch point, we knew Chris was the one. His branding alone says it all — if you are looking for someone to just play the top 100 wedding hits and nothing else, then you’re probably in the wrong place. Music is extremely important to us and was one of the top things that mattered to us for our wedding to create a certain type of vibe. We love all different genres of music but also have a special place in our hearts for EDM, for example. We wanted someone who would incorporate elements of all our favorite genres and mix it well. We learned on our first phone call that Chris is a musician by trade, worked at Johnny Brenda’s booking shows and events for over a decade, and continues to share his love for music as an adjunct professor during the week and as a DJ on weekends. I say this because all of this was a huge selling point for us: Chris is someone who knows music and knows it well. He knows how to take someone else’s interests and song selections and build on top of that to tell a story. His passion is palpable from talking to him and we had so much fun chatting on the phone and geeking out about music. This brings me to my next point: the collaboration process was extremely seamless and easy. He uses a tool called Vibo where there’s a schedule in which you can input song choices for each section of the night. He used this as the master list and when it came time for our final planning meeting, this really helped guide the conversation around the flow of events for the evening as well as other artists and songs we might be interested in. Chris had also worked at our venue (Philadelphia Distilling) before so he knew a lot about the run of the show and how the space worked which was incredibly helpful. To say Chris understood the assignment is underselling it — he totally knocked it out of the park. Our guest list which ranged all ages was eating that playlist UP. Several people came up to us saying “I can’t believe he played Bad Bunny, this is the COOLEST wedding I’ve ever been to by far”. I honestly get emotional just writing this because all we ever wanted was to create something our guests would love and music is so essential to the environment you’re in, and Chris nailed it. 1000000/10 would recommend him over and over again to anyone looking for a wedding or event DJ that will listen to you, collaborate with you, and throw an AMAZING party that people will be talking about for years to come.

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.

Where do I even begin?? DJ Dan has been there for us and tirelessly helped us figure out the music, the flow, and the timeline. And everything went as planned and more! Dan is extremely dedicated to his work and clients, he cares so much, making this whole experience much more productive and wonderful. His team also executed so well that we had so much fun and never had to worry once. Dan made himself available whenever we had questions and I appreciated him offering moral support & guiding us through the stressful planning process. He’s a warm presence, a gem, a professional! Please don’t hesitate to hire him, he guarantees a great time! You won’t regret any bit of it!!

We immediately knew we wanted to hire Electrified DJ Services when they provided services at my office holiday party! Ernest & Marlowe's infectious energy and attention to what people want to create such a fun atmosphere. Our wedding was nothing less than incredible, thanks to them! I loved the entire process of working with him. Ernest listened to everything we told him and even read between the lines to fully understand what we wanted for our day. I could not recommend him enough! Electrified DJ Services will be my go-to company for any future event! Thank you for everything!!
