“Drew was amazing. I was most concerned with the music because I wanted everyone dancing at the reception and my husband didn’t want any “cheesy” songs played. Drew put me at ease right away. He was a perfect balance – very friendly and helpful yet not controlling. He never played a song from our “no play list” and kept everyone on their feet the whole time (it was a 7 hour reception!). Many guests commented on how great the music was and those who normally leave events early stayed the entire night. Thank you so much, Drew! You really made it a GREAT day J”

He was also extremely flexible and could handle any last minute changes brilliantly. Also, before the event, he was great about meeting with us or emailing to discuss what we wanted. We even emailed him songs we wanted (a huge list) and he played them all. He showed up on time, played our guests requests and was just an all around awesome guy. His personality really made our event warm and friendly. Thanks, Rob! We’ll hire you for our 50 year anniversary!”

Parot / Stopera Wedding 8/23/08, Stephanie Stopera (Catamount Golf Club, Williston, Vermont)
“Nick was a DJ dream come true. Music was the most important part of our wedding to us and Nick was absolutely fantastic. He was very communicative with me and Adam and went out of his way to make sure everything was perfect and we were happy. He also was the hero and set up our slideshow that everyone said would not work. He should get a raise and work all of the time. He mixed music amazingly and set an incredible flow of the night. Nick was AMAZING! Nick was exactly what we wanted for our wedding… he was quick to offer us a drink and be there for us all through the night. Thank you so much for allowing him to do our wedding.”

Boulanger / Fitch Wedding 9/20/08, Katie Fitch (The Old Lantern, Charlotte, Vermont)
“Mark is an amazing DJ. From our first face-to-face meeting, Mark’s attention to detail, responsiveness, and professionalism is outstanding! Mark played all of our requests made prior to, and during the reception. The song choices were so amazing, our photographer went out the following day to purchase CDs of some artists Mark played. Adding an extra hour was the best choice we could have made. From the moment dancing started, the dance floor was absolutely rocking! Guests moved tables to make the dance floor larger. The site owners stated “not all receptions are fun – this was a great reception.” Guests left stating “this was the best wedding ever!” Mark, thank you for your hard work in making our wedding the day of our dreams. We would recommend you to any and all! Thank you!”
Deweese / Collopy Wedding 9/20/08, Brettan (Pigeon Hill Farm, East Berkshire, Vermont)
“I cannot say enough about how fantastic Nick was. He saved the ceremony for a start. Our bagpiper did not show up and Nick calmly set up his computer & sound system in a second location with 10 minutes notice. He started up music, picked appropriate songs & nailed it. No one even noticed he was not planning on providing ceremony music from the start. As far as the rest of the reception goes, he got people in the mood to party! Played a great mix throughout the evening, music you would not think to play, but through his experiences & crowd-reading ability had everyone moving – all that and he successfully deflected my mother’s show-tunes request J
He is an asset to your business. We love Nick.”
Wright / Bean Wedding 9/27/08, Greta Wright (Mt. Sunapee Resort, Sunapee, New Hampshire)
“People kept commenting that our DJ (Daren) played the best selection of music all night. He set the tone for a fantastic party full of dancing! We were thrilled with it all. Thanks!!”
Irwin / Farnham Wedding 10/10/08, Dan Farnham (The Ponds, Bolton Valley, Vermont)
“I didn’t mind at all that Nick checked in with me about guests’ requests. Sometimes I am picky with music, and he honored that. He did a great job with dinner & dancing requests, and he was fun, upbeat, and courteous. Thanks also to Daren for his role in planning & coordinating an event.”
Creamer / Martin Civil Union 10/18/08, Susie Creamer (Castle Hill Resort and Spa, Ludlow, Vermont)

Ordway / Reith Wedding 10/18/08, Curt & Kristine Ordway (Burlington Country Club, Burlington, Vermont)
“Mark was fantastic! He did an excellent job of reading the crowd and played appropriate music all night. He was also great at organizing our large group for introductions – I really appreciated the extra care he took in making sure he pronounced names correctly… little things like that go a long way. He was open to requests and we didn’t have to worry about anything all night. The crowd had a blast and danced the night away!!” Thank you!!”
Higgins/ Bero Wedding 10/18/08, Mindy (Stoweflake Resort, Stowe, Vermont)
“Sorry that we don’t have a lot of suggestions. How could you possibly improve on a job that was absolutely perfect? Jeremy did a perfect job and definitely had his A-game going on the wedding cruise. It certainly helped that he was familiar and comfortable with the ship’s surroundings. Fantastic job!!!” Barrett / Crawford Wedding 6/5/09, Bob & Laura Crawford (Northern Lights, Burlington, Vermont)
