We hired Serafim for our wedding and he was absolutely incredible, professional, intuitive, and able to keep the energy high all night with the perfect mix of the music I requested and Greek music. His transitions were seamless, the Greek sets were spot-on, and guests from all backgrounds were on the dance floor for hours. We’ve had so many people tell us it was the most fun wedding they’ve ever been to, and the music played a huge role in that. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding DJ.

Sam was the DJ for my wedding back in 2020. He is very professional, reasonably priced, fair, and attentive to detail. He was an integral part of our reception, and I felt I could trust his judgement with our songs, crowd, and flow. He even handled an unpleasant situation with a guest extremely professionally, and we could not have asked for more. I would give him 10 stars if I could. Highly recommend!! Thank you, Sam!!

We hired DeeJay Serafim for our daughter’s Greek American wedding. We had been to events in the past that Serafim was the DJ for, so we knew that he understood how to
blend Greek with the and American music. He delivered an unforgettable celebration that honored both Greek and American traditions. Serafim’s music selections were
impeccable. He worked with our daughter to get a feeling for the guest list to figure out how much Greek music to play and how much American music to play. His playlist was
thoughtfully curated to include Greek hits and popular American songs that kept everyone on the dance floor. He transitioned between genres, ensuring a seamless flow
of Greek and American music. Serafim kept the energy high and the atmosphere lively. He was very professional, friendly, and genuinely interested in our vision for the
wedding. We highly recommend Serafim. He is very talented, and he helped to make our daughter’s special day the wedding that she dreamed about. I would post photos, but I am not good with technology. You can see Serafim's Instagram post on this site: Magdalene and Trey's wedding.

Serafim was truly phenomenal!!! Not only was he extremely professional leading up, but also on the day of. We had him travel for our wedding and we did not regret it at all. The dancefloor was active all night and he read the room perfectly. It was the best day of our lives and couldn’t have imagined the night without him a part of it!!!

There's not enough that can be written through words about the role Serafim played on our wedding day! From the moment we contacted him he was responsive and super attentive to our needs - which was a challenge balancing between him and the band. Serafim went above and beyond to ensure that all of our favorite songs and requests were met. I don't think we could have asked for a better entertainment experience!! I recommend DeeJay Serafim to all my friends who are getting married, and every one always says they're so happy they hired him. 10/10 recommend!

I used Serafim for my wedding at Candlewood Inn back in September 2023 and my wedding is still talked about to this day and I owe it all to Serafim! I was pretty particular about what music I did and didn’t want played and Serafim had no issues accommodating. He was extremely professional and prepared; he had microphones set up for our ceremony and his DJ setup was clean and not an eye sore like some other setups I have seen at wedding. His timing for our bridal party entrances and first dances were on point, something I have noticed a lot of DJs do not pay enough attention to. I could not recommend him enough, if I could redo the day again I wouldn’t change a thing. Everyone had an amazing time and were on the dance floor the whole night!

When I look back at my wedding, we are so thankful and relieved to have picked DJ Serafim!! We had the absolute best experience with Serafim for our wedding night, and we can’t recommend him enough. From the very first conversation, he was warm, attentive, and genuinely excited to help make our day perfect. He listened to every detail we shared—from our favorite artists to the specific moments we wanted to highlight—and somehow brought it all to life even better than we imagined. He was so well organized even with our extremely large bridal party as well.
On the day of the wedding, he was calm, professional, and incredibly easy to work with. He kept the energy flowing all night and read the room so well that the dance floor was always packed. Our guests are still talking about how much fun they had and how amazing the music was!! We loved him so much we even suggested him to another friend for their wedding which was also a blast! We’re so grateful we chose him. If you’re looking for a DJ who truly cares and goes above and beyond, he’s the one.

DJ Serafim is the best in the business! I've booked him for several different events over the years (baptisms, engagement parties, weddings, graduation parties) and he always hits the mark! He's an authentic Greek/American DJ and really understands the culture and what's popular. He's super creative and can help curate your music list for any event. He's easy to work with and can just take the lead and go with the flow if you prefer, too...which makes working with him a breeze. He leans into the crowd's cues and follows his instinct so he can really get the party going and get people up and dancing or he can chill people out for more lowkey moments like over dinner. Serafim is a genuinely nice person and a pleasure to work with. BOOK HIM!!

When it comes to music at an event, it’s what truly brings people together. It sets the mood, keeps the energy alive, and you need the right person to carry the part…. especially with a big, lively Greek family like mine!
DJ Serafim has been unbelievable at every one of our events. I cannot recommend him enough. He’s accommodating, efficient, and professional, and he knows exactly how to keep the vibe going….. and when to switch it up.
He’s a huge asset to any celebration. We absolutely love working with him and highly suggest you do too!
Great with Greek Music, and any genre you need!

The Best, there is no debate.
Speaking from personal experience hiring Serafim and trusting him with one of the most important pieces of our celebration was a no brainer. The biggest thing my wife and I discussed was we want no one leaving the dance floor, we wanted to have the best time with the people we love. That usually is the goal right? Serafim assured us this would be the case.
The process of going through what was needed was a breeze. He is affordable, and really dissects what it is you want. He wants to know what the vibe is you’re looking for and what genres you want. we had sent him a playlist type we created and he knew exactly what we were looking for.
My wife and I had an incredible time as we never left the dance floor. The next day after our wedding everyone had let us know “George we ate as fast as we could just so we could be on the dance floor”. The energy was unmatched and Serafim had a huge role in that. we can’t thank him enough. if you are in search for someone that is dedicated to getting what you want, Serafim is the guy! 5 stars

t we spoke, I knew how important the energy of the night was to you both, and I’m grateful you trusted me with something so meaningful. Hearing that you and your wife never left the dance floor—and that your guests rushed through dinner just to get back out there—made my whole day. That’s exactly the kind of celebration I love creating. Your playlist, your vibe, and your vision made it easy to bring everything together, and I’m honored to have played a part in such an unforgettable night. Thank you again for the trust, the kind words, and the 5 stars. I’d be honored to celebrate with you all again anytime!

Serafim exceeded every expectation! From the first meeting to the last dance, he was professional, attentive, and brought unmatched energy to our celebration. We didn’t want the typical cocktail hour, so he crafted a Mykonos-inspired vibe that had everyone feeling the island energy before the main festivities even began. He perfectly captured the lively, joyful spirit of our big fat Greek wedding and the dance floor was packed all night long. Working with him was effortless and such a joy. Highly recommend to anyone looking to create an unforgettable party atmosphere!

We had the absolute pleasure of having Deejay Serafim at our wedding in February 2020, and he was phenomenal from start to finish. We had both a live band and a DJ, and Serafim went above and beyond to collaborate seamlessly with the band to create the perfect energy all night long. The transitions were effortless, the vibe was electric, and he knew exactly how to read the crowd and keep everyone on the dance floor.
From the moment the party started, no one wanted to sit down — every song was a hit and the energy never dipped once. He was super professional, easy to work with, and genuinely fun, which made the whole process stress-free and enjoyable.
If you want a bigger-than-life, amazing DJ who can bring the vibes, work beautifully with other vendors, and make your night unforgettable, Deejay Serafim is your guy. We can’t recommend him highly enough!
