After 14 plus years DJing weddings across New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut, I know the fear is not just bad music. It is awkward MC moments, dead air, generic playlists, and a dance floor that never connects. My style combines real wedding experience with NYC nightlife instincts: live mixing, clean announcements, calm planning, and room reading that keeps every generation included without making the night feel forced.

Where do I even begin?? DJ Dan has been there for us and tirelessly helped us figure out the music, the flow, and the timeline. And everything went as planned and more! Dan is extremely dedicated to his work and clients, he cares so much, making this whole experience much more productive and wonderful. His team also executed so well that we had so much fun and never had to worry once. Dan made himself available whenever we had questions and I appreciated him offering moral support & guiding us through the stressful planning process. He’s a warm presence, a gem, a professional! Please don’t hesitate to hire him, he guarantees a great time! You won’t regret any bit of it!!

SOUL OF BOSTON

  • Band or Ensemble

SOUL OF BOSTON is the funkiest, freshest and most "IN-DEMAND" party band in the Northeast, bar none! So if you want to get your groove on, just watch as this uber-chic, trend-setting, 9 pc musical juggernaut SLAYS dance jam after dance jam and lights your dance floor on fire! With its soul-crushing rhythm section, a horn section that will BLOW YOUR MIND, and 5 LEAD vocalists who hit EVERY high note, SOUL OF BOSTON rocks its way like a BOSS through every musical genre from 60’s Motown and soul classics, to epic 80’s rock anthems, to groovy 90’s “old skool” R&B, all the way to today’s biggest chart-busting pop hits!

If you're looking for a band that will make your event unforgettable, look no further than Soul of Boston. They performed at my son's wedding, and from the moment the evening began until the last song, they exceeded every expectation. Every musician in the band was incredibly talented. The vocalists were phenomenal, the rhythm section kept the energy high all night, and the horn section was simply outstanding. What truly set Soul of Boston apart, however, was not just their musical ability but their warmth, professionalism, and genuine enthusiasm. Every member of the band was friendly, engaging, and clearly loved what they do. The singers didn't just perform on stage—they came out onto the dance floor, interacting with guests and creating an atmosphere where everyone felt like part of the celebration. The horn players did the same, bringing incredible energy and excitement to the crowd. One of the most memorable moments of the evening was when the horn section escorted the bride and groom into the reception, immediately setting an electric, joyful tone that carried throughout the night. From the planning stages through the wedding day, everything was handled seamlessly through management. They went above and beyond to coordinate every detail, making the entire process stress-free and ensuring the entertainment was flawless. This band didn't just provide music—they created an experience that made an already special day even more memorable. I would recommend them without hesitation for weddings, galas, corporate events, or any celebration where you want guests to have an incredible time and leave talking about the entertainment long after the event is over.

Jeff was an absolutely incredible DJ! My wife and I were initially worried about people not dancing at our wedding, but Jeff completely eased our concerns and far exceeded every expectation. From the very first song, he had the dance floor packed and it stayed that way all night long. With 160 guests, I think every single one of them was up and dancing hours straight. Guests are still telling us it was the best music they’ve ever heard at a wedding, and many said they couldn't leave the dance floor because it was too much fun. It was the best night of our lives with our favorite people. Leading up to the big day, Jeff was unbelievably organized and professional. We spoke with a number of DJs, but Jeff stood out immediately as the most prepared and thoughtful. His online planning tools made the entire process seamless and stress-free, and whenever we had questions, he was always quick to respond and reassure us. He took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and then delivered beyond our wildest dreams. He created the perfect edit for our first dance and seamlessly mixed so many of our favorite songs throughout the night Jeff doesn’t just play music he created an unforgettable experience for us. We placed all of our trust in him, and he knocked it out of the park, over and over again. If we could give Jeff 1,000 stars, we would. We cannot recommend Jeff enough to anyone planning a wedding.

Overall, we had a good experience with our DJ. He arrived on time, was professional throughout the evening, and kept our guests on the dance floor for most of the night. The music flowed well, and everyone seemed to have a great time. That said, I did spend a lot of time carefully selecting songs that were meaningful to us, and I was a little disappointed that many of those selections weren't played. Some of our requested songs were included, but I had hoped more of our playlist would be incorporated into the evening. The only other issue was that, just before our grand exit, he approached us to mention that he hadn't received enough food. We had paid for a vendor meal for him, so I wasn't sure what had happened, and it didn't feel like the best time to bring it up while we were in the middle of such a special moment. Despite those concerns, he was friendly, punctual, and our guests clearly enjoyed themselves. If having a lively dance floor is your top priority, he does a good job creating a fun atmosphere.

Jesse and Justin have been playing music together since they met performing in a band at Disneyland in 2001. After moving to Beacon, NY around the same time, it made sense to start an official wedding music business to share their love of music with some of the many happy couples getting married in the Hudson Valley. One thing they love about playing music for weddings is the variety that is required of them. Every gig is different and they all happen on one of the happiest days of the clients' lives!

Justin and Jesse played live music for our ceremony and cocktail hour, and Justin DJ’d our reception. Justin was great at communicating with us both before the wedding and throughout the reception, which made everything feel easy and well organized and was wonderful to work with. It made everything feel seamless and stress-free and we knew everything was under control. Justin has a great attention to detail. We had a smaller wedding of about 50 people, and Justin did an amazing job keeping the energy up all night. He gave helpful suggestions during the reception that kept things flowing smoothly and made the night even more fun. We would absolutely recommend them!

I’m a bilingual (English/Spanish) open-format DJ & MC who specializes in weddings for couples who want a packed dance floor and peace of mind. I make sure every guest feels included and engaged from cocktail hour through the final song. I focus on smooth transitions, natural energy, and zero cheesy mic work. I provide professional sound, immersive dance-floor lighting, uplighting, and a photo booth guests love — so you can relax and fully enjoy an unforgettable night.

Booking DJ Ore was one of the best calls we made for our wedding. From our first phone call to the last song at 1am, he was on top of everything — quick to respond, organized, and genuinely invested in getting our day right. We got married at a camp in the Catskills with the ceremony out in the woods, which meant some tricky logistics: separate sound for the ceremony in the trees, load-in with the venue staff, a timeline that kept shifting on him. Ore handled all of it and we never had to think about any of it. The music was unreal, and he kept the dance floor packed the entire night. Our guests basically refused to leave it, and we honestly lost count of how many people came up to us throughout the night to say how good the music and the DJ were. The thing I'll always remember, though, is how he made space for my Tío to play. My Tío sang and played guitar, and Ore made sure he had everything he needed to do it right. He and Chris brought so much energy and just knew how to keep the room going. If you want a DJ who's professional, easy to talk to, and cares about your day, book him. Thank you for everything, Ore — you gave us a night we won't forget. Cannot recommend enough.

He kept everyone on the dance floor and helped our reception run perfectly smooth! I am so thankful we chose MC Fish Entertainment and would hire them again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Dave!

DJ Pat was a pleasure to work with for our August 2025 wedding! He was extremely prepared throughout the entire day and made sure to provide extra microphones, as well as extras to the extras, in the event they were needed. We shared with Pat that my mother has a tremor and he provided us with mic stands for the speeches so that she would feel completely comfortable the entire time. He transitioned our ceremony music seamlessly and thoughtfully, and never failed to communicate with us throughout the day as the timeline changed. Inevitably, our timeline fell slightly behind, and Pat was flexible with his set to keep people dancing for the entirety of the shortened reception. He made sure all of our 'must-play' songs were played and ensured our 'do not play songs' were not. We loved his lighting setup and could not have asked for a better experience. He communicated with kindness to all of our other vendors, and we are so happy that we chose Rob Alberti Event Services for our wedding!

Ariana Strings played the ceremony at our wedding on August 2, 2025 at The Riverhouse at Goodspeed Station in Haddam, CT. After meeting Ariana the winter before our wedding at a bridal showcase, she immediately played the song on her violin I wanted to walk down the aisle to. She brought not only myself, but a few of my bridesmaids I was with to tears. She was incredibly attentive to detail, communicated to us almost immediately after emailing her, and has such an amazing personality. The string trio for our ceremony sounded exactly how I pictured them to sound and we received many compliments! I would absolutely recommend Ariana and strings to anyone looking to elevate their wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, or even reception!

We got married in November at the Silver Bay YMCA, and we cannot recommend Scott and his team enough. We knew we wanted a live band for part of our wedding and they were the best band we could have chosen. Our first meeting with Scott we could tell he understood our wedding day vision right away and was willing to work with us on learning new music to fulfill our nerdy requests. For example the team learned acoustic versions of 90's alternative songs, and the groomsmen and bridal party walked down the aisle to Legend of Zelda, my wife walked down the aisle to Nightmare before Christmas, and then we recessed to Studio Ghibli. Cocktail hr, all our guests commented how amazing the band was and how they enjoyed the live music. If you want something different for your wedding, we were thoroughly impressed at the musical abilities and made our music dreams come true. Thank you to this very special team!
