Look no farther. Use Matty as your DJ. Do it, do it now!! :) There were so many things about Matty…read morethat made him excellent. Really, I cannot give a high enough endorsement. Shea D and I found Matty through a family friend. We looked him up online and found that he had been a "Knot Pick" for 2014 and 2015. Until then we had been underwhelmed with the potential DJ choices for our wedding. Knowing that our family loves music and dancing, we were starting to get nervous! And as we all know, a DJ can make or break a good wedding reception! So we found Matty's website (which is linked in the Yelp description) and filled out a contact form. It involves the normal info - name, contact number, etc - but then also asked us to list at least 5 favorite songs or artists. I think that request was the first indication that Matty was a different kind of DJ; one entirely focused on ensuring that the music of your day reflects your own tastes and personalities. We submitted our contact form at about 9:30PM on a Sunday. I figured that we wouldn't get an email back for about a day or so. Wasn't I surprised when 15 minutes later, Matty called me himself and began to excitedly and enthusiastically discuss our wedding details! He was friendly, professional, and clearly knowledgable. He told us he would send us a few sample mixes for us to review over the next week before booking. When Shea D and I reviewed the samples with which Matty had provided us, we kept looking at each other saying "I like that song! Oh wait! I like that one too! And that one!" We booked Matty shortly thereafter for both our ceremony and reception. Matty was incredibly professional and friendly throughout our experience with him. I don't think it ever took him more than a few hours to respond to an email. He provided us with a detailed questionnaire, including approximately 6 pages of songs from each decade so that he could get a sense of our music preferences. He asked us which music was "must play" and which was "do not play." We knew that our crowd would love the typical "do not plays" like the Electric Slide, Celebration, and We Are Family, so we made sure to ask for those. We had very few "do not plays" - but they never came up on the day! About 2-3 weeks before the wedding, Matty met us at the venue to see the space and help us finalize a timeline. We did not have a "wedding planner" and so it was incredibly helpful to have a professional give us feedback on our schedule and provide advice regarding the flow of events. We left the meeting with a timeline for the day and a better understanding of how to use the venue. He told us where there were holes in the music that we had selected (for example, we had a first dance song, but didn't know that we needed a cake-cutting song). He asked about our theme, looked at our outfits and those of our wedding party, discussed our centerpieces, cake, and personal music preferences, and generally tried to get a feel for the entire event. I think his attention to detail is what ultimately made the music so seamless on the day. He took the time to get to know us and what we had envisioned for our wedding. As we picked songs over the intervening weeks for the "holes" that we had, he provided feedback and suggestions that improved the overall quality of the music. He also helped us to find an "upbeat" version of a traditionally slower tempo song that my parents had wanted to dance to for their special dance. On the day, he arrived early to set up and began the music exactly on time. The prelude music for the ceremony was exactly what we had envisioned. He helped our officiant to begin on time and coordinated the music perfectly. He provided us with microphones to use so that during the vows everyone could hear us (which was especially helpful to me since I had lost my voice). He announced events over the loudspeakers efficiently and effectively - helping the transitions from one segment to the next without "bogarting the mic." He took requests, which made all of our guests happy, and played one excellent song after another throughout the entire reception. He also came to find us before he announced things like the cake cutting or important dances, so that we weren't caught in conversations and were ready to go. He also warned us when there were only 5 songs left so that we got to dance the last few dances together. We got so many compliments on the music - it was so personal that many of our guests thought that WE had selected the entire playlist, when in fact we had only picked about 5-6 songs total and Matty did the rest! All in all, Matty helped to make our wedding day a seamless event that exceeded our (and our guests') expectations! We had a stellar day and a wonderful party. Thank you thank you thank you!!

I would strongly recommend MD Music & Entertainment. My wife and I were fortunate to have DJ Brian…read moreas the DJ for our wedding in the Catskills in late October, and we could not have been happier with the experience. From Day One, we found Matty and the MD team to be responsive, professional and easy to work with, especially as we navigated a COVID postponement. The team kept in touch with us during our long planning period, and everyone was very well organized in the leadup to the wedding day. On that day, DJ Brian arrived early and checked in with us frequently to be sure everything was to our liking. He curated a fantastic playlist and was a huge hit for his song selections during our dinner and reception. Brian was friendly, professional and clearly took the time to get a sense of our personalities and preferences. (He even incorporated a musical reference I made during our vows into our reception playlist, which was such a nice touch.) He also served as a great emcee during our toasts/speeches, was great about making announcements throughout the evening, and overall kept things fun and running smoothly. I would highly encourage you to consider DJ Brian and the whole MD Music & Entertainment team!

Job well done!! With the blizzard of the decade, the anxiety and the fast pivot to Sunday I can't…read morethank your crew enough on this one.. My daughters Bat Mitzvah was a raving success. A few specific shout outs: Raymond obviously was exactly what was needed and expressions on Alana's face throughout the afternoon says it all. The male dancers (specifically ) were unbelievable and I'm still getting comments. Honestly I forgot their names. Joe - photographer had the perfect temperament to handle alana (saw when she got frustrated and had her take a break). Great read of everything. Gold Medalists.... Fritz (ZAPP photo). Truly a hysterical gentle giant. Caught the funny moments and laughed a lot all night with me. Aaron on the photo booth. True professional and was great with everyone . He solved a problem for me on the fly, knew when to slide the family members in between kids overwhelming the booth. Lots of laughs. Use him and Fritz more!! Great Job Again I'll call you next week. Best, Jake

I ended up using Hart to Hart for my wedding and it was a particularly terrible experience. My Wife…read moremade several song requests during the duration of the wedding to which the staff regularly refused and laughed at. Towards the end of the night things escalated when my wife made a final request and I attempted to intervene to help her get one of her favorite songs played... which should not be so difficult on her wedding night?? The result was I ended up in a screaming match with the MC as he attempted to refuse the song. This song had no vulgarities or anything else about it that could be seen as offensive. The level of disrespect was unbelievable. Shortly after the altercation, the party came to an abrupt end and everybody filed out. If you are having an event that is important to you, stay clear of this business.

Looking for a DJ in NYC? Look no further…read more.. Dustherus has some of the most professional and customer service oriented DJs I have ever met. I was looking for a DJ for my moms retirement party and spoke to Oscar who is the owner and founder of Dustherus. I had called a few other DJ's but after speaking with Dustherus I could tell that the other DJ's were not as professional. The depth of the conversation with other DJ's was: what type of genre they should play and how much they would charge me. I knew that I wanted someone who was going to be able to articulate my needs into more than just a "playlist" which is what most DJ's nowadays do. Rather than that Oscar spoke with me in detail about exactly what I wanted for my party. He took the time to ask me about specific songs, genres, the layout of venue and the age range of the audience. I was amazed at how precise and technical he had gotten. I was really impressed and surprised at how dedicated he is to his work. He told me that for a 4 hour party he would practice for weeks in advance for my event. My sister and I were so happy with how well the party went for my mom's retirement party!! My mom is still young at heart so we had everything from old school R&B to new school hip-hop. To add to it all Oscar has a charming microphone/stage presence. The place was jumping, the sound system sounded great and everyone had a great time. Payment was easy as all I had to do was PayPal the business. Thank you Dustherus!!!

Look no further than Dustherus.
