Working with her made everything super easy and it was so nice not to have to stress about this during my wedding planning process. Thank you Jennifer! Jacob was the BEST DJ! I couldn't have asked for a better DJ at my wedding. I am so so happy that I chose Fourth Generation as my DJ so I was able to have Jacob lol. From the ceremony, to cocktail hour, to the reception - the music was perfect. He played my requests and kept the party going all night long. I am not a big dancer, but I didn't want to leave the dance floor - that's how good he was! He was also so great at MCing when we needed it. I can't say enough good things about Jacob - I wish I would re-do the whole night so I could listen to him DJ again! We also had a Photo Booth with a wonderful attendant that helped everyone take pics all night long! Thank you Fourth Generation for an AMAZING night. Everything was so perfect and you helped make it perfect so THANK YOU!!

If i could give two separate reviews, I would, because the DJ and MC get a 5 star from me and my…read morefamily. They did a great job overall and got everyone dancing and were generally friendly and great to work with. No major complaints there. There was a small flub with the dj/mc but they were wonderful and helpful and it was all good, and they kept the party going all night! I would hire them again if there is ever a reason for me too. If you are just booking a DJ and and MC they are great and you can stop reading the review here! If you are booking live solo musicians though there is more. I am lowering the review not because of the DJ/MC, but because of the live solo musican we had booked as well. We booked violin and piano, and were told the musician can play anything reasonable that will have sheet music. My husband picked a classical piece, not an overly crazy one, it's one that most students can play, so for a professional it should be a non issue. But I heard from multiple guests (many of whom are also musicans...) that it sounded off and even I could tell it wasn't right as I walked down the aisle. We were told only a short time before the wedding that the violinist was having to practice the piece a lot, but not that they couldn't reliably play it at all, and if we knew earlier it couldn't be played, we would have gladly hired any QC student or a peer to do it instead (and for less money). The violinist was also the piano player, and for piano we had requested jazz music, which was pretty important to my musician husband. To our surprise when we walked into the cocktail hour we hear "beauty and the beast" on piano. Totally not our vibe at all, not what we asked for, and no one gave us any warning that it would be changed. Again, if we knew sooner that the pianist either wouldn't or couldn't do jazz, we would have found someone else, or we would have changed to a different genre, but definitely not sappy poppy love songs.... Just such a bummer. The piano killed the vibe for me completely and he and I were both so looking forward to it. Overall the player was nice and whatever, and I guess if you just want some basic piano covers it's fine, but we expected more of a professional service, like a heads up that the music was changed even. All in all I still definitely recommend the DJ and MC and the owner(?) is a pleasure to work with, but just letting people know if they have any sort of specific live music wishes aside from the most generic, to go elsewhere for that one aspect. The cocktail hour music not being at all what we discussed was a definite stain on the otherwise perfect night for us.

Just had my daughters Sweet 16 at the Coral House in Baldwin, NY. I was referred to Drive Up DJs…read moreand Ivan by someone else that had used them and then I researched them by looking at all the social media they use, and then I decided DUDJs was really the only choice. They are that good, and their price was totally reasonable. From the beginning, I knew we were in great hands. They provided us with DJ / MC / Sound / Lights / Video in one simple package, they even created a beautiful 250 pic video photo montage for us that was beautiful. They communicated with our other vendors through out the night and followed the planned script perfectly and played all music as previously selected as well as all the typical dance standards. It was LIT as my daughter said when it was over (which we didnt want to end). Ivan and his team are total pros, very personable and very easy to deal with and that took a lot of weight ofs our shoulders as we trusted him to run with the program and he did not disappoint us. Thank you again!

The questionnaire used for planning was all online as well as their catalog of services provided. Ivan was super accommodating and played all the songs we requested. He was on point with the wedding day itinerary and helpful with suggestions. We had some guests who also DJ and they came up to me raving about how his song mixes/wordplay was spot on. The photo booth was a hit - highly recommend and you receive a link to all photos/gifs taken. We also added on the saxophonist and 8 ft robot. Rob was also fantastic and I'm so glad DUDJ's provided him as the MC. High energy, big smiles, and these two were able to read to crowd and perform accordingly. Their DJ light setup was soooo much better than other DJ's I vetted (not to mention the others were upselling this and Drive Up provides this as a standard). I would have zero hesitation booking this team again and will be recommending them to all friends/family for future events.

It took easily over 45 mins just for people to have their orders taken and forever for the food to be delivered to the tables. Nightmare. The venue ate up a lot of the brides dance door time but let me tell you...these DJe saved the day!!! They knew when to put a stopper in the venue's delays and get the party started again and how!!! If it wasn't for their sharp intuition and ability to build a sick dance floor the venue would have ruined the wedding!!! These DJs built a fun and pumping dance floor and never relented!!! They had the floor going without fail until the end of the wedding!!! Every song they played was a home run. They didn't just follow a playlist like an ipod...they read their dance floor...knew what they wanted and gave it to them!! Unlike some weddings where you feel barely inspired to get out of your seat. One of the most fun wedding dance floor experiences ever!!! And such nice guys!!! You need to hire this company for your next event!!!

He made the whole process very smooth, and also helped to put our mind at ease with not only with the music selection, but with the overall timeline and coordination of events. We planned a NY wedding while living in North Carolina so we would fly up for planning. At the wedding reception, he was relaxed and very professional. His music and emcee announcements made everything run smoothly and we could see that he had plenty of wedding experience. Throughout the evening we received compliments on how terrific our DJ was. We highly recommend Xtreme Sounds of the Party DJs for any DJ event! \

He came in looking like a slob in a faded black T-shirt and wasn't very friendly. When we approached him with a box full of light-up toys to hand out, he said, "Leave them there [indicating the stage/platform] and I'll take care of it." He never handed them out. He never did anything to engage the crowd, such as announcing some of the #1 hits from our high school years. We we called to give feedback to Party Harty they were rude and dismissive and told us we got what we paid for. We paid $1,300 and we certainly did not get our money's worth. We would have been better off bringing in a CD player or just streaming a 70s station ourselves. I will never recommend or use them again!

He sat all night, did nothing to add some character to an environment which was a sophisticated party of mature adults. When contacting the management post party I was treated with a series of profane and vulgar statements, attacking me personally. I mentioned that the DJ said he'd help us with the hand outs and the verbal tirade of profanities came my way. We have used this company 3 times for our grandchildren's' celebrations. No matter whether our criticisms were valid to Party Hardy, never did I expect them to be so crude and disrespectful. All that glitters is not gold and the ownership and management of this company is just plain dreadful.

Five years ago a friend of mine used them for her wedding and I always remembered that the music at…read moreher reception was great, so I went to meet with them for my wedding. From the first meeting Gerry was a pleasure. Where as other DJs talked about how great their equipment was and how they are good DJs, Gerry spoke about how they feel out the crowd and make sure that people are enjoying what they are playing (not to mention they also have great equipment). He added a more personal touch in my opinion. The day of the wedding, the music was great and all my requests were played perfectly. The dance floor was never empty. Also the volume level was perfect, the music was just loud enough, but you could still talk to people without losing your voice. We also used Big Hits for our room up lighting during the reception and it was beautiful. I wanted purple for the start, but then told them to do what ever they thought was best and it turned out great.

I hired him as the DJ at my husband's and my wedding on 1/3/14 after seeing him do a friend's wedding. He did a fantastic job. He played the music we wanted, steered clear of our "Do Not Play" list, and was super affordable. We had him for both the ceremony and the reception and the music for both was seamless and classy. He even played some hip Spanish music for my side of the family! Also, this may sound silly, but he never once told the dancing crowd to raise their hands in the air, sing along, or any of that nonsense that we've seen other MCs do. I was very happy with that. He also really made sure that he had all of our names right, including my Cuban grandmother whose name is a bit difficult to pronounce. He engaged with the crowd but not overly so, and he was very accommodating with my husband's music request, including playing my husband's own mixes, and playing an instrumental version of "Baby It's Cold Outside" for my husband and me to sing at the end of our reception. He even cut if off in a good way when my husband and I laughingly had to stop singing because we forgot the words to the second verse halfway through and started cracking up. I would definitely recommend Bob for your special event. Great music, great price. He even put in LED mood lighting at our request, all at a THIRD of the price of the vendor recommended to us by our venue. We were super pleased with Bob!

I cannot say enough about what an amazing experience it was to have Bob DJ our wedding. My wife…read moreand I looked at e few DJ companies, but once we met Bob there was no question who we were going with. First of all he's cool. He's very relaxed and more than happy to guide you through the process. He talks to you with the warmth of a friend, not like a cold business man. With all of the other stresses we had getting our wedding plans together, it was really wonderful to work with someone that put us so at ease. Bob recommended that we let him know any and all songs we would like to be sure to have. "The more we put on the list, the more likely we will love all the music". Well, my wife took that to heart and came up with an amazing song list. Our list was not only long, but had several different types of music from Big Band (Swing) to 50's & 60's rock as well as modern songs. Bob took the list and arranged it perfectly! All the rite song types/tempos at all the rite times. We had an amazing amount of positive comments from our guests about how great the music was. We also had the opportunity to extend our reception by 30 minutes, which happened only a few days before the wedding. Bob was more than happy to extend his time for us. Bob is also just a great guy. We were married on June 14th 2014, and yet in October 2015 we were sitting in Ferrara's bakery in NYC having some desert, and as we were sitting there Bob walked by and recognized us. I was busy looking at my wife, but Bob stopped to say hello. He's that kind of great guy. He's busy with weddings and events all the time, plays guitar in a band, and all kinds of other things I'm sure. But he still remembered us so long after our wedding. If you are looking for a DJ that is great to work with, and that will make your event unforgettable, Bob Loggia and Top Hat Entertainment is the ONLY way to go!!

I hired Maximum in Bellmore, NY because of their reputation and because every time I am at an event where they are the hired entertainment, I am so impressed. I just knew the event would be a huge success with the right entertainment. Boy was I right! Joey, the owner of the company was a delight to deal with...so patient and made every step of the planning an absolute pleasure. The high level of energy that was exhibited by our DJ along with the 1980's music and his personality made for a perfect Saturday night. Fun? That's an understatement. When you hire Maximum, you're getting the MAXIMUM amount of fun without even one minute unaccounted for. The only downside of this is that when you hire them...you're party will seem like it's over way too quickly. They truly know how to capture time and make the most of the time you have celebrating. It was an extraordinary 35th high school reunion. Can't wait to do it all again for our 40th! Thank you Maximum!!!
