BEST DJ/MC EVER!!!!! when looking for DJs I wanted to make sure that I had picked someone that was also an MC Matt knocked it out of the park. I had so many people come up to me the day after the wedding and say how awesome it was. He kept everyone on the dance floor like I requested the entire night. We didn’t stop dancing! Matthew did our ceremony cocktail hour and reception, The processional songs and everything that I had picked was played perfectly on time. The flow between the ceremony and cocktail hour was very fluid. As for when the parents and bridal party were introduced, he reviewed everything right before walking out just to be sure it was perfect and it was. There was no standing around wondering what was next for mine and my husband‘s dances, the parent dances everything had a perfect flow. I also wanted to do the table game where the bride and groom run around to each table and try to take photos as fast as we can Matt recommend recommended a song we use and it was PERFECT. As far as my playlist I added, maybe 40 songs and I really just told Matt to go with the vibe and keep people out on the dance floor and pick whatever songs he thought. From Motown to 80s hits to current country to 2010s R&B with such a wide variety of music I didn’t know how it was gonna be, but that dance floor was packed all night and it was because of Matt I couldn’t have gotten a better person to spend this day with us while being overall amazing. He was also so keen on little details to make sure that our day flowed perfectly. I would book him again and again if I could. We also got the Photo Booth add-on, which I think everybody should do. We got so many photos from that night that were so candid but also so many photos of people just enjoying their night.

We had such a difficult time finding a DJ that was a good fit for us, but we 100% made the right choice picking Beats and Focus for our wedding. Matt was outstanding. He dedicated ...
so much of his time to making sure we felt comfortable with everything and let me tell you, he did not disappoint. Everything was so smooth and seamless the day of the wedding. He had three set ups (ceremony, cocktail, and reception) and Matt didn't miss a beat. Another thing we really appreciated was Matt let us have complete control. My husband is very particular with music and Matt listened to us and really honored our wishes. I truly don't think our day would have been as perfect as it was without Matt. We will be recommending him to everyone!

Matt kept the energy up all day and night, and handled everything so smoothly even when there were last-minute changes to some of our choices. He played all the music right on cue for the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing, and transitioned through three different locations at our venue without any issues at all! Matt totally understood the vibe we were going for and kept the party going while still making sure everything stayed on schedule. He brought all the equipment, was super professional but still fun, and added to our perfect day! He was such a fantastic part of our wedding! Thanks Matt!

There is a reason Matt and Beats and Focus have so many 5 star reviews.
The morning after we woke up from our wedding we immediately talked about how Matt went above and beyond fo...
r us. If you want a DJ that will remember EVERY single tiny detail you’ve expressed you wanted for your wedding day -Matt is the one for you.
To begin- we had to make so many changes to our wedding due to family health and venue changes. We ended up having a huge, beautiful backyard wedding. It was incredibly nerve-wracking having something of such massive proportions at home with so much production involved. From the beginning, Matt calmed every concern I had. When I hung up the phone, I looked at my now husband and said- “this is the best person we could have booked.”.
Matt is kind, professional, incredibly caring and warm. We had a full dancefloor all night, seamless music for cocktail hour, as guests arrived, and the ceremony was magic. I felt like I was in a rom-com coming down the aisle. He had a clip board of every single thing I had mentioned to him over the last few months. I was stunned at his attention to detail.
Book Matt and beats and focus. Get the Photo Booth, your guests will love it!!!!
Matt thank you for everything. You are the best choice we made for our big day, hands down.
Response from Beats and Focus
Madison, thank you! It was so great to get to know you both and to work with you! It was...
extremely fulfilling to be part of such an amazing celebration and share in the joy of you, your friends, and your family. We wish you the very best in your future!

The Best DJ Ever – Matt Made Our Day Unforgettable!
If you’re looking for the BEST DJ for your wedding or event, look no further—Beats and Focus - Matt the DJ is everything you co...
uld hope for and more. From the very beginning, Matt was professional, attentive, and incredibly easy to work with. He made our wedding day unforgettable in all the right ways.
Our ceremony was absolutely perfect thanks to Matt. He came fully prepared with high-quality speakers, microphones, and flawless timing. Every single song we requested—even the very specific video game tracks my husband had dreamed of walking down the aisle to—was there and sounded amazing. That level of customization is no easy feat, but Matt made it happen effortlessly.
At the reception, the music was on point all night long. He read the crowd beautifully, kept the energy up, and played every song we loved. But what truly blew us away? Matt went above and beyond by capturing special moments and filming a reel for us—knowing we didn’t have a videographer. That meant the world to us. It’s something we’ll treasure forever.
Matt isn’t just a DJ. He’s a professional, a calming presence, and someone who genuinely cares about making your day as special as possible. We can’t thank him enough. Hire Matt the DJ—you’ll be SO glad you did!

Our DJ services through Matt and Beats and Focus were excellent. We were very happy with our planning sessions and all of the help that Matt provided leading up to the wedding. The...
ceremony music and live stream were great - everything that we asked for and wanted. The reception was a great time, and Matt was central to that with his music choices and coordination.

I was the *ultimate* DIY Bride on a budget. I had a working relationship previously with Matthew Shenk of Beats and Focus and asked him if he would DJ my wedding reception. Matt gr...
aciously accepted despite having no equipment and very little experience being a DJ.
I couldn’t have been happier with the turnout. Not only did Matt DJ a 5 hour reception he also provided the music for my ceremony in a difficult, 300 year old Chapel with no sound system. Matt has a very smooth voice and is well rounded and a great host. I would recommend him in this life and every one after. In fact, a friend who married 2 years after I did also had Matt DJ their wedding.
