We booked Aaron's business partner Nik Shukla for our September wedding in Meredith, NH for cocktail hour and reception entertainment. Nik was extremely kind, detail oriented, thorough, and thoughtful. My husband and I had been to only a few weddings before our own and we found it very valuable to lean on Nik's expertise and understanding of the day's flow. Nik had a very clear process and system and implemented it with ease, which I greatly appreciated as someone who is type A and process-driven. Nik was also extremely professional, which is evident from the moment you speak with him and a very important characteristic of your wedding emcee--you're trusting them with a microphone! He was very smooth with transitions, not cheesy at all, and kept everything running on time.
Nik invests a lot of time with you and shows a great deal of dedication and passion. He has a strong understanding of the science behind music and a clear formula for what songs will or won't work on the dance floor, which we individually picked and confirmed together on a call. We danced nonstop for the 2.5hrs--guests across all age groups kept telling us how it was the most fun they've had dancing at a wedding! Nik was an integral part in helping our wedding day run so smoothly and it was an absolute dream. He did an excellent job and we would highly recommend hiring him for your event.

Aaron was so easy to work with for our wedding. He was accommodating, flexible, and helpful to us as we developed our wedding playlists. Aaron is a talented musician and played piano beautifully for our ceremony. He is also a skilled DJ and really dialed in the music to be very customized to our tastes and preferences.

Aaron was, hands down, the best DJ we’ve ever seen at any wedding! He also played the keys at our ceremony and made the entire music selection process easy for us. At our request, he made very little announcements and kept the focus on the music - exactly what we wanted. Highly recommended!

Aaron was an awesome vendor. He was incredibly professional and knowledgeable about our venue which was a huge bonus. He was straightforward with what he needed from us and clear to communicate as well. No fluff which I really appreciated. I read his one bad review and could not disagree more with that person now having used him. Aaron played only songs from the list we provided with the exception of one song which I’m so glad he played because it was a newer one I forgot to include! Thank you Aaron for being so easy to work with and keeping our guests on the dance floor all night- knowing when to mix in songs according to the vibe of the crowd. I am so happy I booked him!

Aaron helped to create the most perfect Wedding day! He gave us his honest opinions, really helped to shape our wedding day, and provided the perfect sound track for us! He took our likes and dislikes and created the perfect playlist for our cocktail hour and reception. For our ceremony he took the songs that we wanted and made everything flow so seamlessly. Most of our guests said that they don't dance at weddings, but they danced at ours all night long! Even after the wedding people continued to say how amazing Aaron was on our wedding day! We cannot thank him enough for everything.

We found Aaron through The Knot website. We inquired through his comprehensive website and met very quickly. Aaron was able to give details and insights to wedding ceremonies and receptions that really made us secure in our choice to hire him. He was responsive through the planning process and offer advice when needed. We had a very detailed phone conversation with Aaron prior to our wedding on 10/27/24. He nailed down all of our preferences in music and every other detail you can imagine. On the day our of wedding, he played the piano live for our ceremony. He was prompt and receptive and made sure it all went off without any interruption. He is a fantastic pianist and even though we were originally unsure we wanted this aspect, we were so happy and amazed by his talent. During our reception Aaron followed our plan to a T and was flexible to meet our needs and requests. His professionalism and his kindness were noted by many guests. When the dance floor opened, people were up and dancing ALL NIGHT LONG. He played hit after hit, tailored to our interests. and to those of our guests. We cannot recommend Aaron and his services enough. Thank you for being a part of our special day and making it something we will never forget. Catherine & Zachery Wellington

We booked Nik as our wedding DJ in September. He did such an incredible job planning, coordinating and executing the event. He is extremely kind and talented in his profession. He really goes above and beyond to get to know his couples so that he can give them their dream wedding. He did multiple phone planning sessions with us - one where we initially booked and we discussed a general timeline and such. Then a few weeks before the event we made our playlists together. It was a very throughout meeting, and Nik explains everything so well. We weren’t very knowledgeable about weddings and he made us feel like we could ask him any question. He is so dedicated to his couples it’s amazing. I could tell after only speaking to him once that he is incredibly passionate and puts all his heart into his work. He is very much people person and makes you feel so comfortable. We barely had any wedding stress due to his efforts. Nik is so helpful with music planning. Their company has a great system for music ranking that is a very helpful resource. Nik was very flexible with changes in plans when the person we asked to play live music backed out and we had to have him play music instead. He was excellent with communication amongst the other vendors and making sure to keep us on track too! We loved the music he played and he was so flexible and nice with everything. We LOVED our experience working with him! Sure an amazing person. Cannot recommend him enough to other couples.

I want to start out by recognizing Aaron’s professionalism. We had several last minute changes and Aaron adjusted to all of them in our wedding plan. He is a great pianist and DJ no doubt - but he is also easy going and fun to work with. We had the wedding day of our dreams largely thanks to Aaron. Highly Recommended!

We booked Aaron by way of referrals from several friends who had hired him for their own weddings and he did not disappoint! Music is so important for a wedding and we hired Aaron about 15 months before our wedding. Aaron took the time to answer every question we had from that point to our wedding day. He is obviously very experienced and knowledgeable and he helped guide us through all of our planning while allowing us to put our unique stamp on all of the song choices. We especially liked that he could provide a live piano- violin duo for our ceremony (he played the piano himself) and that he doesn’t speak a lot on the microphone during the reception party (which is exactly what we wanted).

Aaron was cool to work with with our wedding playlist. The dance floor was packed with all ages. We got a lot of positive comments about our wedding music.

Aaron Topfer and his team of musicians made our wedding nothing short of perfect. Aaron was great to work with. He let us customize the music from the ceremony through the reception. He was very attentive to all our requests and our do not plays. Aaron is amazing at what he does and offers - you get live music and DJ for the price that many others would charge for DJ alone.

Aaron is hands down the best wedding DJ we've ever seen! Every one of our guests was on our packed dance floor thanks to an absolutely incredible playlist that Aaron designed for us! Aaron was also professional and clearly has years of experience in working with couples to make their wedding day incredible special. He gave wonderful recommendations through our planning. His live piano at our ceremony and happy hour was an added bonus that made everything one-of-a-kind and like nothing we've ever seen at other weddings.

Music was such an important part of our wedding. Aaron Topfer is a phenomenal DJ and musician.

Aaron is a truly talented musician who also offers an AMAZING DJ service. He is professional and a great communicator who always responded quickly to all of our questions and last minute changes. For the same price that other DJs charged for just DJing, we were able to get a ceremony musician, a cocktail hour musician, PLUS a reception DJ. Aaron also learned some sheet music for my walk down the aisle. In fact, he customized all of the music to our tastes and the vibe we were going for.

I will be honest - I was skeptical that Aaron would be as good as advertised after seeing the large number of super positive reviews.
He really is that good. Piano + DJing both were great. Super organized and easy to work with on the planning front. Was helpful in giving us tips on how to make the day go smoothly, but open to some of our non-conventional ideas that we wanted to include. We had a song that we wanted to use in the ceremony that he learned specifically for us, despite being given a cobbled-together arrangement that a friend helped us make (full sheet music wasn't available).
We'd recommend Aaron to anyone. Two of our best friends already used him for their wedding, and he was awesome for them as well.

Aaron was excellent. He was our music at our August 2023 wedding and provided everything A to Z. Aaron checked in with us several times in the months leading up to our wedding and was communicative, helpful, and organized. On our wedding day, he arrived early for his set-up and played amazing piano music at our ceremony/cocktail hour. He even accompanied my Maid of Honor who sang a piece at our ceremony. Aaron was an amazing DJ and was also ‘non-cheesy’ as promised. Aaron was a perfect combination of classy and fun and we will be recommending him to all our friends who are getting married.

Aaron was absolutely incredible! He listened to all our suggestions and did a great job making our wedding day perfect. We were the first of most of our friends to get married and didn't really know what we were doing and Aaron helped guide us with all of the music choices and planning. We wanted to skip some things day-of and he adjusted our schedule easily without complaints. We had given him some specific requests for ceremony music and everything was absolutely beautiful. For the reception, once we opened up the dance floor people stayed all night. My husband and I are 24 and 26 YO and we requested primarily 2000s hits and he absolutely made it happen! In the words of one of our groomsmen "this DJ needs to stop playing so many bangers!". Absolutely would recommend Aaron for any wedding or event.

He obviously has a lot of experience and patience working with couples who have differing musical tastes. The dance floor was packed and we got a lot of compliments about the quality of the music choices. Music is such an important part of a wedding - you will not regret having Aaron as your music for your entire wedding day experience.

I’m here writing a review for my June 2015 wedding not because Aaron needs more 5 star reviews but because he deserves it. Aaron is incredibly professional and organized. He played the piano along with a live violinist at our ceremony, the piano for the cocktail hour and the music at the reception kept the floor packed and we had so many compliments on the music.
The real reason I’m writing this review is because of Aaron’s microphone system he uses for the wedding. He told us it’s the one the White House uses, which seemed insignificant but since our wedding 8 years ago, we have not been to a single wedding where the mic didn’t crack or do something. Additionally our wedding took place near the ocean on a windy day and we were thrilled to have his sound system. You should certainly book him!!

Aaron was our DJ and piano player for our June, 2023 wedding in New Hampshire. He is super organized and did phenomenally-well at to create the dance party we always envisioned with our family and friends. Basically, my parents, aunts, and uncles got to hear their rock classics, my husband and his friends got their hip- hop, and my friends got their Taylor Swift and Beyoncé. Aaron also work beautifully with our wedding coordinator who said Aaron was the most professional DJ she has worked with at all her weddings.

Aaron was fantastic. We had a mutli culture wedding with lots of different songs of a different language and he killed it in keeping everything organized. His piano skills during cocktail hour were amazing and he was very efficient and organized with set up at a few different sites at our venue. The only thing I MIGHT change is just that song were played a hair too long on rare occasion and I had to give him a cue to move on later in the night. To his defense, these were “must play” unconventional songs and we probably should have clarified we only wanted a snippet. But overall, Aaron was great and I’d recommend any day!

Aaron was a perfect entertainment choice for our smallish, intimate wedding of 65 people. We loved that he gave us 2-for-1 live music and DJ. He arranged a string duo consisting of a violinist and a cellist for the ceremony. They were excellent. Aaron was our cocktail pianist + DJ and we couldn’t have been more pleased. Aaron made a few announcements but didn’t say more than was necessary - this was ideal to keep our reception organized & flowing.

Aaron was attentive to all our emails and gave us helpful feedback on our ideas about music. For our wedding ceremony, his piano playing was so pretty and our whole reception featured a packed dance floor thanks to his talents...he has an amazing ability to read the crowd, play all our requests, and make everything flow very smoothly without any hiccups.

Aaron's piano music set a beautiful tone from the beginning at our ceremony. Everyone loved dancing to the new music and throwbacks that Aaron DJ'ed at our reception. I recommend Aaron for anyone looking for a one-stop music shop that is well-organized, helpful and affordable.

Aaron was the DJ at my sister's wedding almost 10 years ago! We hired him because he plays the piano beautifully, is easy to work with, and is truly talented at what he does. I've been to far too many weddings where the DJ talks more than they play music. Aaron is not like this at all. He is not too talkative - only announcing what needs to be announced and he plays great music that everyone loves. He did not disappoint at my sister's wedding and he did not disappoint at our wedding either!

Aaron was very responsive with his communications and he made us feel very comfortable from when we first spoke with him. His ability to play the piano at our ceremony and DJ our reception made him stand above the other DJ choices we had for our wedding. He was accommodating throughout and played all of our songfest requests for ceremony, cocktail hour, and the reception. The dance floor was definitely the place to be after dinner and everything flowed perfectly. At a recent Thanksgiving get together, my family reminded me how much fun our wedding was and how great Aaron was. Thank you Aaron!

We booked Aaron for our November 5th wedding, and Aaron was great with our processional and cocktail hour music. We asked Aaron for specific and a little out of the box songs for both, and he absolutely nailed them, event offering to find the sheet music and learning new songs! He played piano for both the processional and cocktail hour and it was a big hit with our guests.
For the reception, there were a couple of songs that were on our must play that were missed, and it did seem to take Aaron a bit to figure out the vibe of the crowd, but once I went up to Aaron at the reception and let him know that we needed more upbeat and modern music, he was able to turn it around pretty quickly and get the party started. Once he got the vibe, the floor was packed and the crowd really started going. He was open to our guests requests as long as they were bride and groom approved, which was really helpful and we were able to avoid songs on our do not play list.
We did appreciate Aaron and everything he did, especially our for ceremony and cocktail hour music!

n highly appreciative and given a 5-star review! The dance floor was packed for hours & we got a lot of compliments! Their Ceremony music was highly customized and for their Cocktail Hour, we went out of our way to Purchase, Practice & Learn Over 1 Hour of Punk Rock Piano Sheet Music that no other couple has ever requested over 1200 weddings we’ve done!
We have a tried-and-true Professional Music Planning System for all couples that hire us. We take every couple's “must-play” & “do-not-play” lists seriously as per our contract. However, unlike 95% of the couples we have served, this couple did Not provide a "must play" list...instead providing casual lists of "dinner song ideas" and "dance song examples" that were not "must-plays" as they had described them. They also communicated, through our planning system, their openness to all music styles from Oldies, to Motown, to Country, to Classic Rock, to 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s, not just modern Top 40 music...so this was our plan for the evening. The bride came up to request many last minute songs. We bent over backwards to please each & every one of her requests, even playing a totally unplanned 'bride & groom-only dance' she requested at the last possible minute, after the reception had already ended and everyone started leaving. The bride did give us a big hug and several "thank you's" at the end, which makes her review rather confusing. After serving over 1200 couples over 20 years, once-a-year there's a bride that refuses to give 5 stars despite being mostly pleased. We take great pride in maintaining a very high 99% satisfaction rating year-after-year. We hope this puts things in a helpful perspective! :-)

We got more compliments on the ceremony & reception music than any other part of our wedding! Aaron’s piano music (along with a violinist and cellist he hired for us) brought everyone to tears at the ceremony. And the dance floor was just packed at the reception thanks to Aaron’s expertise.

We are incredibly grateful we found Aaron for our September 2022 wedding!!! Aaron played the piano for our ceremony and cocktail hour, and DJ'ed the reception and dancing. He was professional and detail oriented during all of the planning, and was able to accommodate every music-related request we had! And truly, the dance floor was PACKED all night long (even with some family members who don't usually dance). We had the best time ever, and can't thank Aaron enough.

Aaron was an amazing find!! He played live piano for the ceremony and cocktail hour, and played amazing music through out the reception. The dance floor was packed! The whole process leading up to the big day was professional and organized, and the wedding day was smooth and easy. We are so happy to have found Aaron, definitely recommend !

Aaron was the perfect DJ/musician for our event. He helped us decide on the right combination of live music for our ceremony and cocktail hour, plus he offered phenomenal DJ services that kept the “cheese” out of the picture. Everything flowed very smoothly and we couldn’t have been happier with how our wedding day went. Thanks Aaron!!

We hired Aaron and a cellist he provided for us to perform ceremony music and for the cocktail hour. Their music was AMAZING. Aaron was also our DJ and the party couldn’t have been any more fun. The dance floor was packed for hours and our guests kept complimenting us on all of the music.

Aaron was wonderful to work with! He was very communicative and responsive about detailed planning ahead of time. And his musical performances on piano were beautiful! All our guests had a blast dancing to the playlist during the reception and he was fantastic with introducing family members and transitions to each event during the wedding. Highly recommend working with him!

The ceremony and reception music were just amazing. He accompanied a violinist and a cellist with his piano. They even learned a Coldplay song (“The Scientist”) for my walk down the aisle. So beautiful. Later on, he played all of our must-plays, worked in guest requests, and stayed away from those overplayed, cheesy dances. Aaron was also helpful to us throughout the planning and gave great advice concerning questions we had about order of the events, room set-up, etc. Highly recommended one-stop musician and DJ combination!

We were looking for a classy DJ and also a jazz pianist for cocktail hour. Still hard to believe we got so lucky finding both with Aaron! He was amazing, we had some requests for songs to be played at key moments, and also had outdoor ceremony mic needs and it all went perfectly. The mood during cocktails was perfect. We specifically did not want a “pump it up” DJ (“everybody make some noise!”), and Aaron kept everyone up and dancing the entire night without the explicit encouragement. Aaron was also professional and accommodated a last minute change where we had to play a recording during speeches when the best man came down with COVID. Thanks for helping make our day memorable Aaron!

We are so happy we hired Aaron for our wedding. I originally selected him because of his strong reviews as well as his combination of live music and non-cheesy DJ/emcee offerings (I specifically was not looking for a gimmicky bar mitzvah style DJ). When I spoke with him over the phone I was wowed by his knowledge and professionalism, Aaron truly covers every detail so you know the day is properly planned and there aren’t any last minute surprises. I live out of state and was planning a wedding in New Hampshire, Aaron was the most responsive vendor by far and helped the wedding planning process feel much less stressful.
We had him play “Chapel of Love” and “Can’t Help Falling in Love” for the processional and “Burning Down the House” for the recessional and he is so talented, his piano performance at both the ceremony and the cocktail hour was excellent. His low-key, non-cheesy, DJ style was exactly as I was hoping for - he kept everyone up and dancing the whole night. We’ve received many compliments from our guests on the quality of our music on the wedding day - thank you Aaron!
