For the price Vinny charges and the quality of his entertainment I would HIGHLY recommend him. He was SO easy to work with. He played almost all the songs I wanted to hear, but als...
o used his talent and read the room to switch it up if need be. We even saw him at the bar at our after party!! He is awesome and a very genuine, upbeat guy. I didn't know this, but the photobooth came with the cutest book for everyone to add pictures they took and notes. It was such a nice surprise. He was so attentive and communicative and never left me guessing about ANYTHING. And not to mention Tony and the band. They were absolutely phenomenal. His voice is beautiful and his musicians are very talented. Everyone is still talking about the music, Tony, and the band. I cannot recommend them enough or say enough good things about them. For those wondering about prices, Vinny was around 3000 ish and the band was I believe another 2000-2500 for cocktail hour. The photobooth was 800 plus I got an extra hour. You get a lot of bang for your buck...It's basically a no brainer. 100/10

We had an awesome experience with Coastal DJs/Vinny. He provided a very thorough planning worksheet that made it easy to map out every detail of the ceremony and reception, and he ...
was super responsive anytime we had questions leading up to the day. His planning ahead of time really showed and the transition from ceremony, to cocktail hour to reception was seamless.
He also did a great job of emceeing the event, there were a few unexpected hiccups that occurred morning of the wedding he had to adapt to (MOH gave birth morning of the wedding so we had to make some changes to speeches, entrances etc and he handled it perfectly). He also got the dance floor packed immediately by starting with a slow song and telling everyone for every couple that is on the floor its another year of happiness for the couple and then immediately went into a classic wedding dance song to keep people out there.
The dance floor was packed all night. He did an incredible job reading the room and mixing in wedding classics throughout the night, which kept the older crowd out there too, not just the friends who would dance to anything. His energy was perfect for the vibe we wanted and it showed.
Multiple people came up to us afterwards to say how great he was, asked where we found him, and commented on how fun and and full of energy he was. We’re really glad we booked him and would recommend him to anyone.

oor was packed the entire night because he knew exactly what to play and when to play it. Vinny really listened to what we wanted and made sure everything ran smoothly. He took our requests, our style, and the overall mood we were going for and turned it into the perfect soundtrack for the whole day. We felt so taken care of, and our guests are still talking about how much fun they had. He even changed the photo booth settings to match what we wanted. If you want someone who will read the room, keep the energy high, and make your night unforgettable, Vinny is the one. Highly, highly recommend!!!

Thanks to the Coastal DJ team, we had the BEST wedding! The dance floor was packed all night, and our guests are still raving about how amazing they were. Many even commented on how much fun the DJs themselves were having, which made the energy in the room even better. If you’re considering them, DO NOT HESITATE. You’ll have an unforgettable wedding filled with amazing vibes. We truly cannot recommend them enough!

de everything very organized and communication with them easy. They are very hard workers and will do anything you ask to make your day as special as possible. We met Coastal DJs at a wedding expo and we knew right away we liked them. I highly recommend checking out their Instagram page and you will see how involved they get to make your wedding a PARTY! We were really able to get to know Coastal DJs and they are really cool people in addition to a skilled MC and DJ! Throughout our wedding reception, Vinny would check in with us a few times to make sure everything was going okay and if there was anything we needed from them. Coastal DJs genuinely cares about making your wedding everything you want and I wouldn’t recommend any other DJ but Coastal DJs! #cuethewaves!

really fit the vibe of not only my husband and I as a couple, but our guests as well. Vinny got people up and moving on the dance floor and once they got up, they wanted to dance all night! Vinny was communicative with my husband and I throughout the night to make sure we were happy and in the loop. Vinny is extremely organized and experienced. He truly was way more than a DJ - he acted as a wedding planner to make sure every aspect of our reception flowed smoothly and beautifully. I would recommend Vinny and Crystal for any and all events where his services would be deemed appropriate! They are worth at least double the price we were charged. Do not sleep on Vinny and Crystal- book them for your next event!
