Carol Moore
Owner
Originally from Miami, I began my career as a working musician as a vocalist and band leader from Miami to Buenos Aires and Rio de Janeiro. I was always searching to make the music fresh and original. When I arrived in New York I immediately realized there was an open environment for the artistic ideals that I had. I opened A Starry Night Music in 1990. I wanted our private events to be fun, sophisticated, and cliché-free.
Our signature style is to never repeat the same wedding. Every event is your personal soundtrack.

We had A Starry Night DJ our wedding reception in October, and I truly cannot recommend them highly enough. From the very beginning, Carol was incredibly attentive—she hopped on mu...
ltiple calls with me throughout the planning process to make sure every detail and every wish was understood and accounted for. By the time our wedding day arrived, I had complete confidence that she knew exactly what we envisioned and would do everything she could to bring it to life.
On the day of, Carol kept the entire evening running smoothly and followed the plan we had created together perfectly. She blended our must-play list with additional songs that matched the energy of the room and kept the dance floor full all night. As a bonus, she even put together a sweet video montage of our guests dancing, which we now have as a special keepsake.
I could not recommend A Starry Night more—Carol helped make our big day unforgettable.

We chose Carol and A Starry Night for our wedding and were extremely happy with the experience. We would recommend her highly.
What initially set Carol apart was her background as...
a trained musician with a strong performance foundation. That depth of musical training clearly informs her work as a DJ and immediately distinguished her from others we considered.
We were looking for someone experienced who brought a quiet elegance to the role. Many wedding DJs tend to make themselves the focal point of the event, which was not what we wanted. Carol struck exactly the right balance — enhancing the energy of the celebration while never overpowering it.
Carol’s website describes her events as fun, sophisticated, and cliché-free — and that description was spot on. Her presence complemented the celebration beautifully, which was exactly what we were hoping to find.
We were looking for something beyond the “cookie-cutter” or “one-size-fits-all” approach of many wedding DJs. Carol delivered exactly what we were hoping for — and more than we realized we could find.
Thank you, Carol!

esponsive when we were selecting music and going through the song choices for the different events of the day. She responded very quickly and was very on top of everything at our meetings. We received many compliments on the music from our wedding, and I know of several compliments that she received directly. Carol was awesome with helping us with the song choices and really got a feel for who we are and what we wanted, and everyone said they had a blast. They also worked really well with the maitre'd, photographer, and videographer, and everything went off perfectly!! Most importantly though, Carol and Beledo are two beautiful souls who you can tell really care about their clients and what they do. They are so warm, kind, and personable and really made us feel important on our special day. It was amazing getting to share this experience with them, and we will cherish the memories they were instrumental in creating for the rest of our lives.

My partner and I recently worked with Carol to DJ our wedding. She was highly recommended by a close friend who is in the music entertainment industry. From our first call with C...
arol, we knew she would be the right fit for us. We know some couples who we were recently married who used other DJs from other companies for their wedding. They complained about providing a song list to their DJ, only to have it ignored. Carol made it clear that she would not do that. She listened to our needs and made our priorities her priorities. The music and the food are what guests remember about a wedding, therefore, I had very high expectations of Carol leading up to the big day. Carol understood the assignment and she delivered.
In addition to the recorded music, we wanted some live music throughout the night. Carol found us two amazing musicians, a trumpet player and a trombone player, to play along. All evening, Carol would check in with us to make sure everything was going according to plan.
I cannot recommend Carol highly enough. She is professional, she listens, and she will do everything she can to make sure you have an amazing night.

t supported by Carol every step of the way. It rained on our wedding day, and we had to switch quite a few things up. Carol was incredibly flexible and made it seem like it was all planned, working together with our coordinator to provide announcements that weren't even part of our original timeline. Not only that, but she was not originally meant to play our cocktail hour. When we had to move into the same location as our reception due to the rain, Carol provided cocktail hour music for us at no extra cost -- something that truly speaks to how much she cares for her couples and wants them to have a beautiful day. Carol seamlessly wove our playlist together with our chosen songs as well as a couple extras, and we've had guests (of all ages, from teens to older adults) message us after the wedding to ask us our playlist. Thank you, Carol, for being a part of our special day!

bout the music she selects, flexible, and, above all, and incredibly kind and reassuring person who will quiet any last-minute anxieties you have and make sure you have the wedding of your dreams. When we asked her to make specific edits to our first dance, she did them perfectly; when my mom surprised her with extra speeches at the last minute, she incorporated them seamlessly into the evening; when we asked her to play our ceremony at the last minute, she did, and she did it so well, and for such a reasonable price. Anytime we emailed or texted her, she got back to us immediately. She collaborated with our event coordinator to make sure the evening moved smoothly. She is the paragon of professionalism and kindness, and even some of my friends went to compliment her during the ceremony on the way she paced the evening and kept everyone on the dance floor. In all, you will not be sorry if you choose Carol as your DJ.

DJ Carol and Beledo are rare gems. We had a modern, Jewish wedding at a historic, upstate New York barn overlooking a creek. We hired DJ Carol and Beledo of A Starry Night Music fo...
r our October 2021 wedding, and it was truly the best decision. DJ Carol was punctual and very professional from start to finish: she gracefully talked us through her suggestions, and what to expect from A Starry Night Music, and then left plenty of room for us to brainstorm with her and make requests. DJ Carol truly thinks of every detail which helped put us at ease, so much so that we felt truly taken care of throughout the entire process of working with her. For our Jewish wedding, we had some very specific music requests: for example, we asked that the music for the hora dance (circle dancing) last for about 30 minutes, and start and end with a specific song. Not only did DJ Carol create a seamless process, her DJ skills are so smooth and her choices are so skillful that our hora kept dancing for an hour! While we didn't work as closely with Beledo before the wedding, his flamenco guitar skills are smooth, and highly capable. We asked him to play during our cocktail hour, and were so impressed. Overall, A Starry Night Music received our highest praise, and we sincerely hope that you'll be able to work with Carol and Beledo. We are so grateful for the heart that they put into their music, as well as their grace, professionalism, skill, and genuine hospitality throughout.

Carol was one of the recommended vendors through FEAST at Round Hill, and I reached out immediately when I saw that her tagline is “No cheese” - the last thing we wanted was a DJ t...
hat came with too many bells and whistles. Carol was amazing to work with; she is very sweet and knew our venue so well as she is there almost every weekend. We worked together to come up with a perfect playlist for our music taste, as well as a timeline for all of the formalities throughout the night (speeches, dances, cake cutting, etc.). She was a great master of ceremonies, keeping interruptions to a minimum. The dance floor was crowded all night, and once all of the planned parts of the night were over, I don’t think I left the dance floor for the remainder of the night!
We also booked the music for our ceremony/cocktail hour through Carol. Her husband, Beledo, is a talented guitarist and pianist, and he played for both parts of the day. He was able to play all of our requested music for the ceremony, and during cocktail hour he played a simple mix of guitar and piano that was the perfect background music. My dad and I walked down the aisle to “Sea of Love” by Cat Power, and it was one of my favorite moments of the entire day.

The string trio sounded amazing, easily covered the specific songs we desired, and created a great selection of background music based on just a general vibe we wanted.

She wove together our long list of songs we had to hear with a bunch of other fantastic tracks that complemented the style/energy, and kept people dancing and having fun the whole night.

We hired DJ Carol for a song release party for an up and coming act that I manage and produce. This job required a DJ and MC that could not only set the tone for the evening with g...
reat song selection and room-reading skills, but one who could also help to facilitate the sort of tight itinerary that are commonplace with high production entertainment events such as this one. She delivered.
The music volume hit that sweet spot where it was pleasantly loud enough to set the party vibe and keep our guests dancing and in good spirits, but also just moderate enough to allow for personal conversation without ever having to strain to hear or be heard. This consideration for the attendees is such an important intangible. Done right, and you’ll never have to hear complaints about volume. Instead, all we received were compliments and praise about the great music selection; a selection that DJ Carol put together herself.
Another important intangible was the excellent communication about specific requirements and preferences that I had with Carol. She was refreshingly super pleasant, articulate, and accommodating about the details that were required. It was like talking to an ol’ friend who happened to be a seasoned pro, who you honestly just felt and knew would be completely trustworthy. And, this is coming from me, a perfectionist with the tendency to, dare I say, micromanage at times. In other words, when I spoke about the details for this event with DJCarol, I knew that this, DJing, was one less thing that I had to worry about. Priceless.
Thank you Carol. It was an absolute pleasure. 🙏

We could tell that she knew what she was doing from her conversations with us and from her emails. As we got closer to the date, she provided even more detailed plans, always asking us about our wishes and making great suggestions. And then she delivered!!! Carol provided exactly the right touches for our ceremony and our reception. She mastered everything seamlessly and had the perfect touch for reading the mood - going from the serious moments to the lighthearted and then to partying. We had so much fun at our wedding and the music was honestly a huge part of it. Carol played the right songs at the right time at the right volume. So many of our guests commented on loving it too.

I especially loved how she mingled with all of our guests and vendors and how she checked on us to see how we were feeling and if we needed any sudden changes to the music program. I am still getting compliments on the music. I highly recommend Carol for any event. She will make the time magical. Thank you so much, Carol!

Carol was such a joy to work with for our wedding! She was always willing to hop on a call to go over our thoughts and playlists. She and her husband Beledo came to set up early an...
d allowed us to enjoy the night and not worry about the music and ambiance. We didn't have a dance floor at our wedding and she was creative in helping us to incorporate music based on the style and mood we wanted to convey. We separated our spaces for ceremony/reception with our cocktail hour because the space had to be turned over, and Carol was able to set up in both spaces without a hitch. She came prepared and was reliable, which was so appreciated during the hectic wedding day!

We had Carol DJ our wedding this year. She, as well as her husband, Beledo, did a fantastic job at setting the soundtrack to our event. We would highly recommend their services!

layed our music perfectly. We are real music peopled we were afraid that with our smaller party there might not be a lot of dancing. She tool away all of our doubts We only had 45 people and the dance floor was packed all night. We were also afraid of having a shouting DJ. Carol was also very cool when she made our few chosen announcements and the rest of the night was great music We gave her a medium song list. She played all of our songs and the other songs that she chose were perfect! She was an absolute pleasure to work with and made every thing go smoothly. The party was perfect and we owed lot of gratitude to Carol!

re was no problem at all. On the day of our wedding she was attentive and kind without being intrusive. Everything went completely like we had envisioned it. From our ceremony all the way to the very end of the party it was perfect. She played great music and she always was able to understand us and kept the dance floor full! We gave her an eclectic list of songs and she played everything. Also like many people we were afraid of having a screaming DJ. She was very cool on the microphone. We didn’t want a lot of talking. She completely respected our wishes. Even with our smaller party we danced like crazy wearing masks and all - it was terrific! Many thanks to Carol!

ry prepared and was all set up and ready to go plenty long before the wedding began. Carol kept the whole night fun and energetic while reading the room and playing just the right songs at the right time. Nothing felt rushed, and she allowed us to decide when to cut the cake and have parent dances so we could take our time with socializing and not feel as though we were being pulled away from our guests. She had great suggestions for songs when I wasn’t sure what song to choose for the second song after the first dance to get everyone on their feet! Carol was the absolute perfect choice of DJ for our wedding and we cannot recommend her enough!

Carol Moore was amazing! This year has been really crazy and difficult for us and our families. We changed our date twice and she accommodated us perfectly. We decided to do it in ...
my parents large backyard upstate and invited only our family and a few close friends. Carol really made it work! As stressed as we were, Carol really calmed us down and reassured us. We had the most amazing party. Carol handled everything from lining us up for the ceremony to arranging the introductions our first dance and the toasts and everything for our dinner reception. We don’t know what we would’ve done without her. We were clueless.
Her husband Beledo played guitar for our ceremony - I walked down the aisle to a French song Plaisir D’Amour and it was so beautiful that we got teary. For our cocktails he really rocked it!
Since we didn’t have a wedding coordinator Carol took care of everything and still played all the songs perfectly. She really read the dance floor great. We can’t thank her enough for stepping in and guiding us through everything and also at the same time being with amazing DJ! Highly recommend she is so sweet.

used on her work, but she was beyond friendly with us. Carol wanted to be more than just “the DJ,” - she wanted to be an integral part of our wedding. We both felt like she got to know us on a personal level so that she could put together the perfect eveningfor us and our guests.
And the evening was all the more special thanks to Beledo and the other live musicians. We had a trio play for the ceremony and it sounded absolutely beautiful from the processional to the reccesional. It set the mood for the night, and Beledo’s piano music during the cocktail hour was the perfect backdrop.
We can’t say enough about how great Carol and Beledo were. We only wish we could give more than 5 stars!

roughout the entire process. She took the time to get to know my husband and I, so that she knew just what we were looking for in music. Carol's husband did a wonderful job playing guitar during our cocktail hour and assisting her throughout the night. Never did we feel that Carol overstepped or was "too much", like we've experience at so many weddings before with DJs. I would definitely recommend a starry night if you are looking for good music, fun, and kind people!

We used Carol and a Starry Night Music for our wedding cocktail party in NYC and what an excellent decision it was too. From start to finish Carol managed to meet all our needs, ev...
en when we didn’t know what our needs might be. She was always available via phone and mail and kept the evening alive from arrival to the final getting everyone on the dance floor for the last couple of tunes. We left the evening on a complete buzz and only wish that we had been able to continue into the wee, small hours.
Carol also came to our assistance when a last minute panic meant we were unsure of what was happening with our photographer. Five minutes later and she had a backup for us lined up and waiting in the wings to assist as needed.
Carol was the ultimate professional and not only did we leave the night with our feet exhausted but all our guests raved about the music. There was most certainly something for everyone from the teens to the oldies, everyone was up on the dance floor.
Not only did Carol manage the entertainment but also stepped up as MC for the evening, guiding us through the speeches and celebrating with us. We would not hesitate to recommend her and her team for your event.

was absolutely incredible, one of the best, most friendly and professional people to work with when we were planning our wedding. We are so thankful for her help and skills at guiding us through the process. She not only played fun music that was appropriate for the time of the party, but she also got the party dancing and coordinated the entire night from start to finish. We had numerous calls with carol and emails and she was always quick to respond and helpful in every way. She even recommended an incredibly talented and tasteful live musician that we added to our cocktail hour. She really made our wedding come to life and all our guest loved and complimented the music choices.

I am really giving Carol 0 stars, but must select 1 start to share this review. A wedding is an event that people hope to only do once. One day worth months (sometimes years) of p...
lanning, coordinating, saving money, etc. The one day that a bride and groom will remember vividly for the rest of their lives. Carol unfortunately ruined this one day. Carol played my brother's wedding and unfortunately she was the worst part of the night. She might as well have dropped off a radio and left it on a station and walked out. Each song was played in its entirety whether it was a 3 minute song or 10 minute song. There was no transitioning or mixing or getting the crowd excited about the music she was playing or anything of the sort. There was no connection whatsoever from one song to the next. Her speakers were horrific as she was asked multiple times to increase the volume. I have never seen a DJ sit on a stool as Carol did all night. I have never seen a DJ be so uninvolved or disconnected with their equipment or music they are playing, as Carol was. Songs were repeated over and over. Unfortunately, the night cannot be redone but fortunately everything else was great. I would discourage anyone who is thinking of using her for a special event.
