Thank you! I can't say enough great things about your company and the service I received for Chris and my wedding. The DJ and MC were absolutely amazing!!! They took everything that I sent you ahead of time and combined that with their expertise to create a fun, energetic, seamless party for us and our loved ones. It fit Chris and my style absolutely perfectly. I couldn't have designed a night better than the one we had. An amazing thank you to your staff who were relaxed, fun, attentive and always responded appropriately to the vibe of the party and our wishes as well. Not an easy job for sure, but they made it look that way! It feels so great to not have to micro-manage something and yet have it turn out so well down to the very last detail. We were only disappointed that our venue wouldn't let us party long into the night! Thank you so very much for giving us such an amazing experience. I am so happy that I trusted Linda (who referred me) and put my faith in a company I knew very little about. It couldn't have worked out better! I do sincerely hope your staff enjoyed themselves as well because they certainly seemed happy to throw us such a rockin' party!
Thank you again and please pass along my appreciation to your staff! I hope that I have the opportunity to work with you again or at least refer you to someone else in the NY area. I know for sure they would not be disappointed!

Dear Brendan:
We truly loved the way you played the music and got our reception rocking. What we truly loved most is the way you kept building on the previous song- by that we mean how you kept playing a better song then the last one and kept people staying on the dance floor all night long. We were amazed with the ease that you transitioned from one song to another without any stops in dancing in. Introducing all of us at the beginning of the night and the ease in which you were able to pronounce the difficult names was great. What made us feel at ease was the way you reached out to us before the wedding to make sure you had everything. You and your staff helped make our wedding reception the best wedding we have ever been to. Another thing that made you stand out compared to other weddings was the way you played the piano while our cake was being cut and how you would alter the music during the courses to allow people to talk to one another.

Dear Brendan and David,
On behalf of myself, my wife, my family and all of our guests, I want to truly thank you for your services at our wedding on May 3, 2008. The music was perfect! Absolutely amazing! Your piano playing during cocktail hour was beautiful, you organization throughout the evening was flawless, and the music you played was perfectly timed and the selection was fantastic! I cannot thank you enough. I never once had to think about the music, and that made it all the more wonderful. I had several guests comment on the music and how appropriate it was. What a wonderful evening. Additionally, the way you worked so well with the management at the National Arts Club was seamless!
Of course I will recommend you to any and all my friends who are looking for DJ and/or music services!
Thank you so much for making our wedding all the more wonderful!

"I cannot thank you enough for the exceptional job you and Dave did at our wedding. From the moment you started playing the piano as our guests arrived, I just knew I was going to be so glad we had chosen you. The music for the ceremony was beautiful. I loved your guitar accompaniment at the cocktail hour. It created just the right tone. And we could not have been happier with the music you played during the reception. I especially appreciate how you walked around the room, assessing the mood of our guests to help you form the soundtrack of the evening. You did more than just DJ our wedding, you went that extra mile to make sure it was unique to our, and our guests' sensibilities. Brian and I had the time of our lives dancing with our friends and families, and people are STILL telling us how great they thought the music was! When planning this wedding, Brian and I both agreed that the music your DJ plays can make or break your wedding reception. You ABSOLUTELY made our wedding. It was PERFECT."
