About Non-Traditional Wedding DJs

Non-Traditional Wedding DJs

DJ

Customized music and minimal announcements. We are music nerds. Once dancing starts, we put the mic down. We love being wedding DJs, but we are different from all the other wedding DJs. We serve New York City, Philadelphia, the Hudson Valley, the Catskills, Connecticut, and Eastern Pennsylvania. Our wedding DJs are $2,950 for an experienced DJ and $2,000 for a beginner DJ. If you are looking for a DJ for your wedding, contact us now to schedule a Zoom call!

Our motto: customized music, minimal announcements. If you want traditional wedding songs or an MC show, we are the wrong company for you! If you are looking for a non traditional DJ for your wedding, contact us now to schedule a Zoom call!

    Most fun wedding ever thanks to DJ Matthew!

    DJ Matthew Reate absolutely nailed the music at our wedding at 501 Union. We had the time of our lives and our guests never stopped dancing from the second our dance floor opened until the last song. The dance floor was full the entire time, and we got so many compliments from our guests about the music. It was truly non-traditional wedding music, which was refreshing and exciting. Matthew totally understood our taste and the type of atmosphere we wanted to curate through the music. We were dancing so much we were sweating, and could have kept going for hours. THANK YOU to Matthew for making our wedding perfect, and to he and Ben for being so on top of logistics during the planning phase. We could not recommend Matthew and Non-Traditional Wedding DJs more!! Seriously, if you want to have a wedding that people will rave about, book these guys.

    Five stars!

    We had DJ Ben for our wedding at Brooklyn Winery and couldn’t have been happier! He was incredibly communicative throughout the entire planning process and made everything so easy. He did an amazing job getting the party started and keeping the energy going all night. We received so many compliments from our guests about the music, and everyone had such a great time on the dance floor. We would absolutely recommend DJ Ben to anyone looking for an amazing wedding DJ!

    Matthew - 12/10 recommend!

    Matthew was an incredible DJ - we have a unique taste in music so we were pretty specific about what we wanted to play on our wedding night. He overdelivered on our expectations and played exactly what we were looking for. 12/10 recommend!

    Joro is the best!

    Joro DJed our wedding in August and he was exceptional! We created our own playlists for the evening and Joro expanded upon our dance playlist expertly with extremely fun transitions and song additions. Dance party of my dreams! Prior to the wedding, Joro and the Nontraditional DJs team were extremely communicative, helpful, and easy to work with. I would highly recommend to anyone who wants a top notch, bespoke wedding DJ experience!

    Thank you Jen and Non-Traditional Wedding DJs

    We got married at The Bonnie in Astoria in August and LOVED our DJ, Jen Jones. We did share a number of playlists with her and she got the vibe we were going for and picked the exact right songs each moment of the night including one of my parents' favorite slow songs which I didn't even think to mention. We also had some friends play live music for our ceremony and Jen was very helpful meeting with them beforehand and communicating directly with our venue the week before the wedding. We had some technical hurdles/transitions that Jen managed perfectly. I wanted a specific transition from a video I showed and Jen was able to transition from it very smoothly! She also was very aware of the vibe. I was so lost in the moment I lost track of time and she was very on top of making sure we got all of our scheduled plans done! We had a big range of ages at our wedding and a consistently packed, high energy dance floor thanks to Jen's work! Non-Traditional Wedding DJs was easy to communicate with and the worksheet provided helped us a lot, especially since we did not use a wedding planner. Would definitely recommend them no matter what you are going for!


Yes! Microphone, mic stand and speakers. This is included in the price.
No! That's not true. But we make much less than other DJs. We rarely use the mic during dancing.
We don't talk on the mic much at all. And we are all music nerds and customize the music to your taste!
We do! Two options at different price points. All the info including price is on our website.
We give you an online form to fill out and have a Zoom call with you to go over it. We ask you a lot of questions to find out what you want. And you know roughly what we are going to do.
