We are SO incredibly happy that we found Music on the Move and booked with them in time for our wedding day on 6/17/23! Justin provided us with an incredible wedding planner packet that had us thinking of every single thing we would have to make a decision on for our day, plus some. He completely customized his services to our day, AND provided the most rocking photobooth! Everyone loved his music selection and people were on the dance floor all night, AND there was a line at the photobooth the whole night, too! He made sure every single detail was perfect, and even stayed for an hour and a half longer than we had him contracted to. He was so easy to get a hold of, and helpful in helping my husband and I plan our MA-based wedding from TX. Thank you SO much Justin!!!!

DeeJay Tom

5.0

Billerica, MA
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,000

Customer service to my clients is #1 to me – the wedding is not about me, it’s about you, your friends and your family. Once I understand what you envision at your wedding, I’ll use my 20+ years of experience to make sure everyone has a great and unforgettable time. I become very much involved in the timing and management of the evening from the moment you book me.

We decided on a DJ instead of a band for a few practical reasons. It's cheaper, there's more variety in what he/she can play and therefore can appeal to a broader audience, and most importantly for us, a DJ takes up less space than a band. We thought about foregoing a professional altogether and just doing the iPod thing, but I was afraid that it would stress me out. For anyone else who has done the DJ search, there is LOT of cheese out there! I received a packet from this one guy with all kinds of crazy rainbow colors and smiley faces and frankly, his voice on the phone scared me. We wanted a low-key DJ, not a show-boat. Tom was perfect. He totally delivered! He wore a tux and looked great. Call me shallow but that's important - the DJ is in the background of quite a few of the photos. He was professional and knew what to play to make everyone happy. He also played all of the songs we asked him to, which is not always a given. The reception was non-stop dancing all night. We had a blast!

Vibeology IA

5.0

Belmont, MA
  • DJ

Music is a lifeblood of life's journey: a universal language that invokes emotion and creates memories; and when thoughtfully and passionately curated into a soundtrack, custom-tailored to specifications, preferences and tastes, the outcome is truly magical, noteworthy, and filled with joy, sentiment, and connection. For over 30 years, DJ Denise LaCarubba | Vibeology IA has aligned with clients to create and present soundtracks for weddings, fashion shows, fundraisers, corporate, international and private events.

We met Denise when she DJ'd a friend's wedding and it was the most fun reception I'd ever attended. I knew she HAD to be my DJ if ever I got married! From day 1 of meeting with her for our wedding, it was clear that her goal was to give us the best party of our lives, whatever that looked like to us. She had great advice throughout the entire process and took time to get to know us and what style/vibe we wanted for our reception. Communication is key, and she had the logistics of the reception planned down to the minute. The music portal is very user friendly and it was really fun to think through our music. If you need song advice, she's your gal. She will strictly adhere to your do NOT play list. She gets the guests engaged and is truly a party starter (if that's what you want). Our guests told us they were sore the next morning because they literally never left the dance floor. Many have asked us to do an annual anniversary party and have Denise DJ it. She will become your family DJ for life and we know of at least 2 guests who plan to have her DJ their wedding. She is a lovely human and a STELLAR DJ. You will not regret asking her to DJ your special day! <3

Mercier Music Weddings

5.0

Mapleville, RI
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Wakefield, MA

My philosophy for music is, "You bring the dancers and I'll bring the music".  I'll take your requests and my years of experience and turn your wedding into something your guests will never forget.  In order to play the right song at the right time, it's all about observation and knowing your crowd.  As I am selecting and mixing songs, I am attentive to everyone's reaction. Years of performing gives me an understanding of action and reaction... an easier way to put it is, I know how to rock the socks off your wedding!

I have had the pleasure of working with Shane at many weddings and he is hands down the best of the best. Shane has a way of not just getting everyone on the dance floor but keeping them there as well. I promise that you will not be disappointed with Mercier Music Events!

I cannot recommend Scott enough. From the day we met with him, a year out from the wedding, to the day of, he was nothing short of incredible. Not only is he an incredible person to work with, but he is incredible at every aspect of his job. Scott's personality radiates excitement and passion and his knowledge and expertise is second to none; he truly was made for this job. He was not only organized himself but helped us organize our entire event, including aspects that did not involve DJ or sound services and really did go ABOVE AND BEYOND in aspects we never expected to get from our DJ. He helped us edit songs for our first dances, coordinated our entrances, helping us with our overall wedding timeline, gave us suggestions and ideas for all aspects of the wedding, created a truly special NYE countdown, and so, so much more. Hiring Scott was probably one of the best decisions we made throughout the entire wedding process and we could not recommend him enough. I am saving his contact for when my own sisters get married someday, he's THAT good. And Scott, if you're reading this- we cannot thank you enough!!

Awarded Best of Zola
We had Emmet and Naomi for our indoor December wedding, the venue was a log cabin style lodge. They were a perfect match and we were so glad we chose them. They learned one of our favorite songs for the opening to our ceremony, playing a beautiful instrumental version of it. Our guests loved the music, that it was accessible for everyone, young and old alike. We had toddlers dancing in front of the band, but the guests seated closest to the band during dinner could still carry on a conversation easily. A lot of people really appreciated this, that they could add ambiance and energy without overpowering you. We especially want to thank them for traveling through the blizzard conditions to be there that weekend. We were hoping for a snowy winter wedding, and we got all the snow we could handle that weekend! The Poor Cousins really helped everything come together for us, and we would absolutely recommend them to anybody!
