  • 10 Year Anniversary Party

    •Verified review
    •Fernando V.•Jul 11

    We hired Zach back in April to DJ for our 10th year anniversary party. We bought out a restaurant so we had the celebration split between a cocktail hour, dinner and then dancing after dinner Zach asked us for a list of songs/playlist for our songs, and we gave him 2 sets: One for cocktail hour/dinner and one for the dancing section. The vibes were amazing during the cocktail hour and dinner. My parents personally loved some of their very own favorites playing as we were all chatting and having dinner. Once the dinner service ended, music transitioned into Disco/Salsa/Merengue and it was great to see our friends jumping from their chairs and into the dance floor. We’ve heard nothing but great compliments from friends and family on the music and vibes through the night and the great pickup during the happy hour! We’ll be forever thankful for your help in making the night a memorable one for us and our loved ones.

    Zach threw us the most magical wedding party. People keep messaging us different versions of “best wedding ever”. Many commented on how exceptional the DJing was. It was so fun, and the music was fire!

    Zach is a five star wedding DJ. He was an excellent communicator, so easy to work with, interfaced smoothly with the venue, and such a good dude. He gave us helpful advice for collecting songs and planning music for the day. I was very late in sending him playlists of what we wanted and he was totally chill with it. It was so appreciated at the time. He’s technically proficient and really sensitive to understanding the vibe you are after. He took great care in everything that he did: cuing ceremony music, manning the decks during dinner, first dance, and DJing the party. Most importantly he is a legit DJ. A bonafide NYC head. You either get it or you don’t, but Zach has a deep understanding of the dynamics of a dancefloor. He knows how to take the vibe you want, and use it to get people out of their seats, and keep them dancing. He’s got the skills. My wife and I have attended weddings where the music has been a disappointment. We find it really dampens the atmosphere when the party music doesn’t hit quite right. So when planning our wedding and what was most important to us, we agreed the #1 priority was the party. The music. We wanted a disco that was joyful, eclectic, and banging. A party that would have everyone on their feet dancing and throwing shapes regardless of their age. Zach delivered this in spades. So many guests commented on just how great the music was. We were thrilled with the job he did. I would recommend Zach to any couple, regardless of musical tastes. He's a steady hand at the wheel, and articulate across genres of music. Thank you, Zach!

    Zach was wonderful to work with. He understood what we wanted him to do. He didn’t make the music too loud while people were eating their dinners which made it more enjoyable for them! When it was time to dance, he played great songs for us to dance to! So thank you!!
