Some back story: Two weeks before my wife's birthday, the DJ I hired told me that he could no longer make it, but that he had worked with Eric in the past, and that he already arranged for Eric to take over. Of course I freaked out because I did a lot of work to find the right DJ, and I had no idea who Eric was. However, after speaking with Eric, I got the feeling that I was dealing with a real pro and that things would go well. Not only did things go well, but Eric communicated regularly throughout the next three weeks, arrived early, played all the songs on my (much too long play list), mixed in great tunes that he curated, and made the party a tremendous success. He kept the vibe going and our guests dancing all night long. Eric and Joseph, GREAT JOB! Thank you so much for everything!

TL;DR: DJ Frank of DJ FrankEC Entertainment Services…read moredelivered an absolutely flawless wedding experience. From pre-event planning to adapting seamlessly to last-minute weather changes, Frank was professional, energetic, and detail-oriented. His top-tier equipment, excellent music selection, and innovative QR-code request system kept the dance floor packed all night. Guests raved, and I give him my highest possible recommendation--truly outstanding! WARNING: Long Post Ahead - But a Well-Deserved RAVE REVIEW! DJ Frank recently handled the wedding ceremony and reception for my son and daughter-in-law, and I cannot say enough good things about the experience. I've known and worked with Frank C., owner and operator of DJ FrankEC Entertainment Services, for many years--long before he became one of the most sought-after DJs in the NY/NJ tri-state area. Even back then, Frank consistently stood out for his reliability, energy, diligence, thoroughness, and outgoing personality. Those same qualities shine through in every aspect of his event services today. Before the Big Day: Frank met with the bride and groom well in advance to ensure he fully understood their vision. His pre-event checklist is incredibly thorough, making sure no detail is overlooked. One of the most impressive aspects of DJ FrankEC is their top-tier inventory of state-of-the-art equipment--sound systems, dance floor lighting, room uplighting, a photo booth, and video displays--all executed flawlessly. Ceremony Setup: The wedding ceremony was originally scheduled to take place outdoors under a beachside pergola. Frank was ready with outdoor speakers, wireless mics, and more. But when inclement weather forced us to move indoors, Frank adapted instantly and professionally. The transition was seamless--handled with calm, confidence, and class. Reception Excellence: Every part of the reception was executed perfectly. The bridal party's entrance was coordinated smoothly. Speeches, toasts, and first dances? Flawless. The cocktail hour music was upbeat and engaging. Dinner was followed by a smooth cake-cutting moment, and then... the party really started. The Dance Floor: Frank and his team were phenomenal. The music was high-energy and kept the guests dancing non-stop. DJ FrankEC's innovative QR-code request system allowed guests to make song requests instantly, keeping the playlist dynamic and personalized. One of the highlights of the evening was when everyone--and I mean everyone--joined in a traditional Lebanese folk dance. From start to finish, the energy was electric, the transitions were tight, and the vibe was unforgettable. Final Thoughts: Frank C. and his team delivered an absolutely spectacular experience. Friends, family, and guests alike could not stop raving about the music. DJ FrankEC Entertainment Services gets my strongest, no-holds-barred recommendation. If you're planning an event and want it to be a true success, look no further. Frank is the real deal--and then some.

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!!

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!

In lieu of a wedding band, we organized a DIY jam session involving a good chunk of our guests, who were also musicians. Austin kept the night moving by being ready with transition music between sets and personnel changeovers. He was extremely knowledgeable about gear and communicative with us about our timeline. Would highly recommend and would definitely work with him again!

She was receptive and took time prior to the wedding date to get to know us, our vision, and showed up prepared and invested for our meetings and the day of the wedding. She took our creative ideas and ran with them, putting together an incredibly fun script to introduce a game we made up for our guests to play at our reception. Her enthusiasm took it to the next level and had all our guests engaged and creating lasting memories. Thank you DJ Dre and Beat Train for being a beautiful part of our big day!

He used a typical digital setup for the reception, and we selected more modern music. We enjoyed working with MAC before the wedding, and he made sure to choose music for both the cocktail hour and reception that suited our taste. If you want to make your event memorable, we highly recommend DJ MAC--the gramophones and MAC's fantastic wardrobe turn heads!

Milin put together such a skillful mix of music that, from start to finish, the large dance floor was PACKED with guests of every age. I now have friends texting me asking for his playlist! Milin was also an absolute pleasure to work with. He is detail-oriented, listened carefully to everything we had to say, and offered advice that was genuinely helpful. He met with us a week before the wedding and again just before the event began to make sure all the key details were covered. His pricing was also very appropriate for our venue and the scale of the event. I highly recommend Milin.
