There are so many wonderful things I can say about David. My husband is a musician and is very particular about music. We knew that it would take a special person to know our vision for our wedding soundtrack. We had several calls with DJs and we knew we would be hiring David before we were even off the call. He understood exactly what we wanted. He was SO kind and helpful during all of the wedding stress. We spoke a few times leading up to the wedding but I definitely put all the trust in him and he more than delivered day of. Not a single person left the dance floor. Everyone tells me my wedding was the most fun they have ever had and we did not have any other entertainment besides David. That tells you everything you need to know. So thankful for him and everything he did for our big day!! I would hire him again and again and again. Best choice we made that day!!!!
"We can't thank DJ David Medina enough for making our wedding reception unforgettable! He perfectly captured the vibe we were going for, seamlessly blending Brazilian music with popular hits. Our guests were on the dance floor all night long.
David was also a pleasure to work with. He was always responsive, professional, and accommodating throughout the entire planning process. We highly recommend him!"
David was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. He was incredibly helpful in guiding us through the flow for the night, starting with processional planning all the way through to our last dance. David made excellent recommendations on how to keep the dance floor packed all night long. Our guests, and even our venue, told us many times how rare it is that the dance floor was so packed for the whole night! We highly recommend him to any couple looking for a fantastic DJ to make their special day unforgettable!
Any questions?
We recently had the pleasure of working with DJ David Medina for our wedding, and we cannot recommend him highly enough! With three distinct cultural groups attending, we knew finding a DJ who could keep everyone engaged and on the dance floor was a tall order—but David exceeded every expectation.
From the first conversation, he listened carefully to our needs, making us feel confident he could blend our diverse musical tastes seamlessly. On the big day, David delivered a flawless performance that kept our guests of all ages and backgrounds dancing non-stop.
He transitioned effortlessly between genres, and even threw in a few surprises that had everyone cheering! It was clear he did his homework to understand and respect the music and traditions of each culture represented.
The energy on the dance floor was electric all night, and our guests are still talking about how much fun they had. We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ to help bring our families and friends together through music.
If you’re looking for someone who’s professional, talented, and a true master of creating unforgettable memories, David is your guy. He made our wedding day truly magical, and we’re forever grateful!
Thank you, DJ’s David, for an incredible night we’ll never forget!
David Medina was the perfect wedding DJ. He should be an easy pick! He will help make the whole planning process smooth and fun and deliver a great party on wedding day. He was more helpful than our wedding planner in making sure our timeline fit and worked all around with catering/announcements/toasts/everything. He knew exactly how to build and keep the party going all the way to the end. A huge part of why the wedding was such a success and something we will remember forever. Will always be grateful
David was absolutely incredible! He kept the energy high and the dance floor packed all night long. From perfectly reading the crowd to seamlessly mixing tracks, his talent and expertise were unmatched. David was professional, fun, and truly made our wedding reception unforgettable. If you want a DJ who will make your celebration a blast, David is the one! Highly recommend!
When my wife and I were searching for a wedding DJ for our big day, we had a lot of different options to wade through, especially living in New York City where there were plenty of DJ's advertising their skills. Trying to find a perfect fit for our imagined wedding day definitely wasn't easy but we knew we found a diamond when we first talked with David. We had a specific type of wedding dance floor vibes that we were looking for, but beyond a couple buzz words didn't know how to describe it. David did, and perfectly helped us hone our intended dance floor vibes. We thought we knew the general things a DJ would help us with, but David showed us different areas he could help facilitate the day.
With strong communication skills, professional demeanor, and wealth of experience we decided to go with David and haven't regretted it a moment since. Not only did we have an amazing ceremony and reception (all sound services staffed by David), but every single one of our guests we spoke to reported having an awesome time (which we largely attribute to David's skills at reading the room and playing the music that would keep people dancing). Thanks again David for the awesome work you did to make our day special, and if you're reading this considering David, take it from us he's the DJ that can make your special day unforgettably awesome.
What a blast we had!!! My husband and I had the absolute pleasure of working with DJ David Medina for our wedding on 11/2. Prior to our wedding, we met with DJ Medina a couple of times and really clicked from the first meeting; we felt that he really understood the vibe we were going for and the execution on the day of our wedding was fantastic! Our guests were up and dancing throughout the night; there was a perfect blend of latin music, R&B, hip-hop, and top hits. Thank you so much, DJ Medina!
David was absolutely incredible from start to finish! From the moment we first reached out to him, he was super responsive, professional, and made the entire process so easy. As a Brazilian bride, it was important for us to have a mix of music that reflected both our cultures, and David nailed it! He seamlessly blended Brazilian hits with a variety of genres that kept everyone dancing all night long.
Overall, our experience with David was beyond amazing, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ who is not only talented but also genuinely cares about making your event unforgettable. Thank you, David, for helping make our wedding day perfect!
David was the best wedding DJ that we could've ever asked for! He cared just as much about curating our music as we did. We had several prep meetings prior to the big day and in each session we discussed our vision and David did nothing but deliver beyond our expectations! Not only was the music perfect but he worked the room like, got everyone excited and orchestrated the perfect event. It seems every wedding we've been to since, our friends and family always come up and tell how much they enjoyed the music from our wedding! If you're looking for the perfect DJ for the perfect day - make sure to hire David Medina!
It's been 6 months since our wedding and we're still in awe of how much fun we had! I reached out to DJ Medina after a friend recommended his services, and although he was booked that day, he coordinated with DJ Marlon and we were able to work together after all. Thank god! DJ Marlon kept our guests dancing all night long and brought so much joy and spontaneity to the party. We can't DJ Marlon enough for showing us and our guests the time of their lives, and DJ Medina for making it all possible with his consistent communication and attentiveness. Major props to DJ Marlon for getting my titi, tio and dad to show off some of their 80s breakdance moves on stage, giving the old-timers their salsa moment, and giving us a karaoke to Journey moment. Me and my husband have an eclectic music taste and DJ Medina and Marlon really helped us showcase that while showing our guests a great time.
We are in absolute BLISS. That was the wedding of our dreams. We are so thankful to you for your attention to detail and increible curation of the entertainment. I gave you A LOT OF THINGS and you executed PERFECTLY. Not ONE COMPLAINT. The guests were RAVING about the music. And so tasteful and ready for adjustments on the fly. We could not have done it without you. What a blessing.
We had the absolute pleasure of having DJ David Medina as our wedding DJ, and we cannot recommend him enough. From the very first Zoom meeting, we knew he was the perfect fit for our special day. David's personable and friendly demeanor immediately put us at ease, and we felt confident based on his many years and wedding experience that he would make our wedding a night to remember.
One of the things we appreciated most about David was how easy he made the entire planning process. He was incredibly organized and communicative, and he took the time to understand our vision for the wedding. We provided him with a detailed list of songs that we wanted played, and he incorporated them seamlessly into his setlist. He also was great at making sure to have a Not Play List and stayed away from those as well, which was important to us. David was very flexible and accommodating, and he was always willing to make adjustments based on our preferences.
David's ability to read the crowd and keep people on the dance floor was truly impressive. He had a great sense of timing and knew how to build the energy throughout the night. He played a mix of classic and contemporary hits that got everyone up and dancing, and he was always attentive to the guests' reactions. David was also great at making announcements and introductions throughout the night and did it in a very understated and classy way.
We were so impressed with how much David listened to our input and tailored his performance to our specific needs. He was always open to suggestions and was willing to go the extra mile to ensure that our wedding day was perfect. From the cocktail hour music to the grand entrance, David's selections, in addition to our inputs, were spot on and helped to create a memorable experience for our guests. We always felt like we were listening to our favorite music.
David's contribution to our wedding day was invaluable. He helped to set the tone for the evening and created a fun and festive atmosphere. We received countless compliments from our guests about the music, and everyone had a fantastic time. David was more than just a DJ; he was a valuable member of our wedding team. We are so grateful for his professionalism, talent, and dedication. Everyone at our venue, The Wythe Hotel, absolutely loves working with him time and time again.
If you're looking for a DJ who will make your wedding day unforgettable, we could not recommend DJ David Medina enough!! He is not only a talented musician but also a genuinely caring and personable individual. David's attention to detail, ability to read the crowd, and commitment to making our wedding a success exceeded our expectations in every way. We will cherish the memories of our special day forever, and we know that David's contribution played a significant role in making it so perfect.

Hey Nick & Jordan,
Thanks so much for taking the time to write such an amazing and detailed review. I really appreciate it. I’m so happy that you and your guests had such a fun time at the wedding and that I was able to exceed all of your expec...
tations. Be well and continue to enjoy the married life!
Cheers,
David
Michael and I had a wonderful experience working with David for our wedding ceremony and reception in August, 2024. We had an initial call with David about a year ahead of our wedding and were looking for someone with a chill, organized and fun vibe - he was all of that! We had a fairly eclectic playlist and he did a wonderful job working off the crowd to ensure everyone had an amazing time. I would highly recommend working with David for your wedding or event!
David is responsive, attentive, and above all savy--he delivered everything we asked and more! David knows music through and through, was versatile, and able to quickly switch from vastly different genres seamlessly through the night. From pop punk to salsa and bachata to freestyle, David gave us a perfect night of music and we still talk about some of those moments on the dance floor with all of our friends and family. You cannot go wrong with David.
David was AMAZING! Such a delight to work with throughout the process and a perfect DJ for our wedding. From dodging raindrops in the forrest, to our cocktail and dinner spaces, and of course our reception we can't say enough good things about him!
Response from the Vendor on 10/05/2024
Thanks for posting your review of my DJ services. It was a pleasure working with you both and helping create the perfect musical vibe and party! Cheers
My wife and I couldn’t be happier with choosing David Medina as our wedding DJ!
We had an international mix of guests of a variety of ages, so it was almost an impossible mission to have music that catered to everyone. David did it successfully. He was able to combine many different styles of music in a masterful way, on the fly. He also invested time preparing for the event, familiarizing himself with new and different music genres.
Beside the music, David was an integral part of the event, helping us plan the timeline of the wedding. He was also very gracious, introducing us and the speakers in an impeccable way.
Overall we and the guests had a great time at the wedding. David definitely contributed to the success and joy of the evening and we highly recommend him!
David was a joy to have for our wedding. From the very first conversation all the way to saying goodbye at the end of our wedding, he was great. David is friendly, professional, very open to requests, super knowledgeable on many genres of music, and just a delight. I would hire him again in an instant! Look no further.
We had a cross-cultural wedding, so we were very particular about working with someone who could handle a unique set-up with hybrid sets of traditions and musical tastes. David met and surpassed those expectations with flying colors. He worked with us beforehand to understand what we wanted, and clearly incorporated that vision into his services. Family and friends from all kinds of backgrounds and age groups raved to us about how fun the dance floor was, and it stayed full all night. As an MC, he was very clear and organized, and helped make sure everything ran smoothly throughout. I highly recommend working with David for your wedding!
We instantly knew we loved DJ Medina from our first introductory call. He not only is SUCH a professional at what he does but he has a great way of connecting with humans and making them feel comfortable and at ease, we knew we found the perfect person to be a part of our wedding. Once we got everything rolling, DJ Medina suggested we do a dance session before dinner, which we hadn't experienced before, we trusted him and IT WAS AWESOME!! 99% of our guests got out on the dance floor during that set, and it really set the tone for the rest of the night. After the wedding, several guests asked me who we had as a DJ and I was so proud to tell them it was David Medina.
If you want to have your guests dancing, have an amazing variety of music (for everyone!) and have a really great person be a part of your special day, hire David Medina. He is FANTASTIC. 15/10 recommend
David will work with you to find the right songs for your wedding. Don’t micromanage him. He is professional. He really knows how to put on a party!
During our first meeting with David, we immediately felt at ease and understood! We knew that we would be in good hands for our wedding, and that he would cultivate a wonderful vibe and keep our wedding running smoothly. David’s energy is pure, his taste in music is impeccable, and he can read a crowd with precision, crafting the moment better than any DJ I have ever experienced. He is trustworthy, responsive, deeply kind, and is a consummate professional. We are so fortunate to have him at the helm of our wedding, and would be so happy to hire him for our next event!
David was our DJ for our wedding at the Wythe Hotel in Brooklyn. We immediately clicked with David from our very first call. We loved his energy and his kindness, and it was clear he was very experienced. David has a super calm demeanor and he's so easy to talk to; although we'd spoken to multiple DJs, we actually knew right away that we wanted to work with David after our first call with him. It also helped that he had worked at our venue many times before, so he knew the drill. He was always very responsive and answered all of our questions promptly and clearly. He was very thoughtful and enthusiastic in learning about us as a couple, and he did a great job of not only playing our music, but also serving as an emcee. We had a lot of emcee instructions (including a marriage license signing, wedding games, and intros for eight speeches!) and he followed them all to a tee. He got all of the pronunciations right for our speakers, and he remained engaged throughout the entire night. We also had an electric violinist and he helped hook him up to the system; we didn't have any issues all night. He played many of the songs that we'd included in our list for him — including '80s songs that some of the older guests enjoyed, and songs like "Wagon Wheel" that appealed to our Southern families. The only thing we'd recommend to couples is be very specific about any types of songs you don't want to be played (not just specific songs or artists, but vibes or topics). We'd mentioned during our first call that we didn't want any raunchy songs since it'd be awkward for our families, but we failed to mention that during our final call with David (our fault), so we ended up having to dance to "Sexyback" and "It's Getting Hot in Here" in front of our parents lol. It wasn't a big deal, but just something to keep in mind! Overall, we highly recommend David and think he is an excellent DJ and emcee.
David was absolutely excellent
We are a bicultural couple with very strong music preferences and David nailed the vibe perfectly pleasing both sides, he kept the party going with hit after hit and everyone loved the music!
It took only a few minutes on the first call to decide he was the one we wanted for our event and since then working with him was super easy and reassuring.
Can’t recommend him enough.
David and Marlon were such a pleasure to work with - their professionalism and finger on the pulse for what we were seeking for the mood of all the music for our wedding all came together seamlessly when putting together songs across multiple genres, cultures, and generations and have them flow smoothly throughout the evening. Thanks to Marlon, we were able to get our party started right out of the gate, and all of our guests had an unforgettable and fun time! We highly recommend David and his team for anyone planning their wedding. Thank you again for everything!
DJ Medina = Nothing less than fantastic.
My wife and I came across DJ Medina via “The Knot” and we are incredibly grateful that we did. For those reading this – I’m sure you will feel the same that trying to find the right DJ is tough because it’s essentially gambling that the DJ will know how to mix and has the experience. If I can do anything for you – please place your trust in this man.
He is incredibly easy and flexible in his work. We met DJ Medina on zoom for the initial review and it’s hard to explain; but my wife and I were comfortable and put to ease. We come from different backgrounds and wanted to incorporate the differences our music culture and overall preferences; which he fully understood.
One of the things that was helpful for us is that he provided a template. The template for any of you Type A individuals was a guiding tool for us to put any and all of our song preferences for the wedding (The must plays vs the absolutely do not play). It also helped us identify areas where music needed to be played that we quite honestly forgot about (ie. The song to play right when the ceremony ends).
On the day of the wedding – DJ Medina was super punctual and ready with all of his equipment. NOW – this is a major plus to any readers. He has his own equipment; so you ultimately save on rentals. Just make sure you have an outlet and a food plate. It’s not required, but it’s very proper to feed your event team.
Another major highlight – DJ Medina helped us with putting our wedding song together. My wife is European and I’m Spanish; so our first dance song was intricate. DJ Medina was able to piece it together to make sense; which ultimately helped our dancing instructor choreograph the steps even easier since we knew the timing. PRO TIP – provide this idea early on as we did this late in the game, but DJ Medina was again flexible and expedient with getting us our piece.
Last pro tip – give DJ Medina creative rights. What do you mean? Earlier above – I mentioned the template for music preferences. One of the scary things (for me at least) is asking myself – will my guest like the music I picked? I like Daft punk and rock music, but I wouldn’t want my guests dancing to Slayer. What you want to focus on is enjoying your day with your partner; while you leave the music to the DJ. DJ Medina did an incredible job with reading the room and keeping the flowing of the dancing going.
I can go on and on, but I strongly suggest choosing this man as your DJ. I hope this post put your nerves at ease. OH – one of the most important things – he is also very affordable!!
David was our DJ for our two-day, half Indian / half French wedding in Brooklyn. He was phenomenal to work with and provided us with amazing music for both nights. Many of our guests commented unprompted that it was the best dance floor music they had been to at a wedding, and everyone had a blast. We started off with a Zoom call to discuss our tastes in music, and because we were having a multicultural wedding (Indian one night, French the second night), he helped us figure out how we could blend both cultures in our playlists. The result was a wonderful mix of our favorite songs, Indian music and French music with a perfect dance floor sequence that left people dancing until the venue kicked us out. We wouldn't hesitate to work with David again and will recommend him to our friends! Thank you David!
My wife and I had David DJ at our recent wedding in Brooklyn. David is not only a very talented DJ, but also a tremendous pleasure to work with. He gave us great tips for throwing a fun event that our guests would enjoy. He prioritized representing my and my wife's music tastes with some twist to heat up the dance floor when needed, and delivered a set during our reception that we loved. Additionally, he was great with emceeing our wedding, delivering announcements engagingly but without unnecessary gusto.
To all future married couples, we highly recommend having David DJ at your upcoming wedding, regardless of your specific music tastes.
DJ Medina and DJ Marlon were easy to work with and were recommended to us by our photog/videographers (for fearless hearts). Started with a phone call to get to know us and our taste in music. Unfortunately DJ Medina was not available but he did recommend DJ Marlon to us and had a 3-way zoom call. They were not pushy or trying to upsell us props like other vendors we had spoken with. We felt like they understood both of our tastes in music (we have different tastes btw). 40% deposit was required to book and the remaining was due the day of. They gave us a worksheet to fill out to gauge what we wanted (and didn't want) for the dance floor but also to help us organize what we wanted for the ceremony as well as reception intros (which didn't even cross my mind except for my music to walk down the aisle). Two weeks prior to the wedding, they did a follow up zoom call to make sure everything was set. DJ Marlon also made sure he got all the pronunciations correctly for the reception intros. When the day came, he had people on the dance floor before I (the bride) even finished eating my meal! The dance floor didn't clear up until the end of the wedding and it was what we had envisioned. Everyone had a great time and DJ Marlon was amazing!
David is an incredible DJ. After our initial conversation, we knew he was the DJ for us. The reviews were spot on - thoughtful, easy to work with, an all around professional and most importantly, a great DJ. We had multiple calls with David to talk about our wedding vision, the itinerary for the day, and what type of music we were going for. David nailed it. His reach of music spans across different generations and genres, which made for an unforgettable night. The dance floor was crowded and many of our guests raved how great the music was. He created the exact vibe we were looking for. David made our wedding day so easy, special, and enjoyable. I'd recommend him in a heartbeat. Thanks again, David!
You don't have to scroll far in either direction to see that everyone agrees: David is the best. Full stop.
Without any kind of planner, my wife and I were worried about so many other details of the night and music was never one of them. David took the time to talk with us, figure out the shape of the event, and pinpoint our taste all before ever setting foot in the space. And for every bit of indecision that we had, he brought his experience to make those choices feel effortless in retrospect.
When the day came, he ran a quick rehearsal with us before the ceremony proper, rolled with any last minute changes, deftly carried the night, and snuck in every request the two of us had while also pleasing an eclectic crowd and keeping them all on their feet. All age groups were accounted for and every seat was empty!
Abandon any idea you had about making your own playlist. Put it out of your mind now. Your playlist cannot do what DJ David Medina does. Whatever you thought was possible, David can do that and more!

Hey Jeff & Alison,
Thanks so much for your outstanding review of my DJ services. I really appreciate you taking the time to write and post it. Hope all is well and that you are enjoying the married life.
Cheers,
David
We worked with DJ Medina for our August 2023 wedding ceremony in Brooklyn. It was beyond fantastic!
From initial meeting to night of, David was personable, accessible, really focused on understanding our needs and wants, and delightful. We had a significant mix of musical needs/styles that we wanted at our event due to our Trinidad, Jamaica, Southern US, West Coast, and NY attendees. Plus, as the bride, I am a HUGE fan of dancing for hours, as are most of my undergrad and grad crews, so downtime on the dance floor was not an option. DJ Medina helped achieve that goal.
He also did a great job in helping us keep the evening flowing with the schedule laid out, without coming across as pushy or invasive. Very good balancing skills.
My husband and I had a blast, our guests had so much fun, and I was beyond thrilled with the night. I would definitely recommend David Medina. We thank him for being a key part of our night's success.
David was an incredible DJ, and amazing to work with. We met by zoom initially, and David asked us all about us as a couple, our music tastes, and our guests music tastes. He told us about his expertise and experience, and we just knew right away he would be the perfect DJ for our wedding. And we were not wrong!
David gives his clients a very thorough worksheet before the event, so he can gather as much information as possible. He asks for your favourite songs, your must plays, and of course the do not play list. He checks in with how to pronounce everyone’s names in the wedding party, which was very thoughtful.
The actual day was a complete hit - as soon as the dance floor was open, you could not keep people away from it! Dancing the night away was truly the most fun we have had, and DJ David was definitely keeping the vibe absolutely on point!
Would definitely recommend DJ David to anyone who is looking for a DJ!
DJ Medina was perfect for our wedding. He did a great job of mixing our favorite songs in within his set and kept the vibes high. He was also so friendly and fun to work with -- really put us at ease on such a stressful day. Highly recommend!
DJ David Medina was the perfect DJ for our wedding. He is extremely easy to work with and has years of experience. His pre-wedding handout was such a great tool to organize our day and communicate the type of music/vibe we were looking for. We truly did not stop dancing for a second (which is exactly what we were looking for!). David by no means is a "traditional wedding DJ" meaning he doesn't stick to a one-size-fits all wedding playlist and customizes the music to reflect what you're looking for. Everything was absolutely seamless. We can't recommend David enough!
David was an amazing DJ for our wedding in Brooklyn. He had a great play list that really catered to everyone at the party. David led the dance floor and there was never a dull moment. We highly recommend DJ Medina for a wedding! You will not be disappointed. Plus he ended the last song on Mr. Brightside, so I will forever love him for that.
David was so wonderful to work with and made the process of selecting our wedding’s music vibe such a breeze. He was warm, approachable and flexible and had just the best intuition on what to play and when. All of our guests commented on how awesome the music was and how much fun they had dancing. During the wedding, David communicated with perfect style and frequency, and his lights really added some fun to an otherwise pretty stale dancefloor. He also helped my cousin who was videoing some parts of the wedding with sound and positioning, which was a pretty last minute request. Thank you so much David for making our wedding so much fun and the exact vibe we were going for!
Cannot recommend DJ David enough. He was incredible throughout the entire process and was excellent coordinating with the venue and other vendors. His mixes are amazing and really can adjust on the fly as needed to match energy levels with the crowd. David, thank you again!
Couldn’t have asked for a better experience working with DJ David Medina. He was easy to talk to and very responsive. He was very flexible with any special requests, could read the room and was able to provide a variety of music that all of our guests could enjoy and get up and dance to. Can’t recommend him highly enough, our guests comments on how much they loved the DJ and helped make our wedding a fun and unforgettable night!
David was amazing and I cannot recommend him enough as a DJ! His charisma, taste, and ability to read a room are remarkable. He made our party so much fun and elevated the whole night. Almost all our guests have brought him up as a highlight when talking about the wedding.
He was very attentive from the start. David, my wife, and I had a lovely conversation about our musical taste and wedding’s vibe. He gave great advice about what songs tend to do well without being pushy. Closer to the wedding we had a second talk going over the fine details. His process was very professional, and I never doubted we were in good hands.
The day of the wedding was exceptional! Everyone from my older relatives to rowdy college friends were out dancing. He matched the energy well and I don’t think the dance floor was empty for a moment. All our queues and announcements were done well.
He really took the time to understand our taste and executed it flawlessly. I found him playing some of my favorites songs that we hadn’t even brought up earlier. I would hire him again in a heartbeat and highly recommend him for your event.

Hey James,
Thanks so much for taking the time to write this awesome review. Much appreciated. Please keep me in mind and recommend me to any recently engaged couples.
Best,
David
DJ David was the absolute perfect DJ for us and we cannot recommend him enough. He has the perfect combination of professionalism and fun. He has such a wide array of music knowledge from all genres….which was perfect, as my husband and I (and our guests) are huge music fans and like all different types of music. From the very first call with David, we knew we were in good hands and he was so helpful throughout the whole planning process. Our biggest goal was to ensure our guests had a good time….and they sure did. So many of our guests complemented us on finding the PERFECT DJ!
It was an absolute pleasure working with David. We started planning our wedding fairly late and there was certainly a lot of wedding planning anxiety going around for my wife and I. Upon meeting and speaking with David at our initial meeting, we immediately felt at ease. He was professional, personable, straightforward, collaborative, and knowledgeable in his craft. He understood where we were at in our planning process and was flexible in working with us.
He put in a lot of effort to get to know us as people and get a sense of what types of music we wanted at our wedding. His knowledge and love of music is expansive, he strives to learn all genres of music, and we were impressed. For context, we are ethnically filipino and chinese and he knew a lot of filipino and chinese hits that would be great for our guests and family. Additionally, he had great ideas and creative ways to engage the crowd and make sure that the guests were equally happy as well.
His attention to detail was unparalleled, he left no stone unturned and this manifested through a seamless progression of events throughout the night, precise and clear pronunciation of many very difficult names, timely and tasteful bits to get the crowd going, and friendly and approachable demeanor.
We had an amazing time and that was in huge part due to David Medina's spectacular work. We highly, highly recommend David and would work with him again in a heartbeat!!!
David was incredible to work with from start to finish. He was one of the first vendor meetings we had in our process and instantly gave us a sense of calm. His openness and flexibility across different genres was super refreshing and he’s definitely the real deal.
David’s experience was apparent from the second he started up the music and the consistent vibe check throughout the evening was very thoughtful. He kept the energy going the entirety of the event and we felt like we were able to communicate easily on the day of. We highly recommend David for your DJ needs and can’t thank him enough for his great work.
David did an amazing job! He was great at communicating before the event and hearing our requests, he was also really helpful doing the timeline.
During the event, what can I say? Everyone had a blast!!
He has a great sense to read the room, if the crowd started losing energy he would quickly switch and bring it back up again, he also noticed what the crowd liked more and went with it.
If you want a great time hire David!
DJ Medina was a wonderful addition to our wedding. We chose him for his knowledge of Brazilian music, and he was able to blend American and Brazilian music seamlessly for our mixed crowd. He was an energetic and positive presence throughout the evening and an overall amazing person to work with!
DJ Medina is very professional, knowledgeable of different cultures and provides guidance to couples like ourselves that were planning our own wedding.
From the beginning, DJ Medina was thorough yet easy going in terms of his interactions with us, making sure we had everything covered (speeches, dances, songs, announcements). He made us feel extremely at ease - we were in the right hands.
While we picked the majority of the songs, he made sure to sequence them and add some songs here and there based on our needs wherever we had gaps. His experience working with multiple cultures (e.g., Latino, Indian, and European, as select examples) meant that he knew all of the "hits" that would make people dance, and all of the "classics" of all the cultures at our wedding, that made all generations attending feel included.
We asked DJ Medina to cover the cocktail hour, dinner, and dance party (our ceremony was at a Church). We had a blast at the wedding reception and received so many compliments throughout the night because of the atmosphere he helped create.
We would recommend DJ Medina 1000 out of 1000 times to any couple who's looking for someone with the experience to know how to take care of you as well as the flexibility to work with your specific needs. What a memorable night - thank you DJ Medina!!
DJ David Medina was an incredible MC and DJ for our wedding. Music is very important to us and we could not have asked for a better vibe at our wedding.
Our wedding planner had forwarded us a short list of DJ's that would match our taste in music for the event. After listening to a couple of David's sets through his website, we knew he would be the right fit. David seamlessly mixed in what we like to listen to jamming out at home, with a spot on mix of genres we wanted to enjoy with our family and friends. The perfect mix of Indian and Western, our vibe as a couple.
We would work with David again in a heartbeat.
We had a fantastic experience with DJ David Medina at our wedding in Brooklyn! David was very professional and did a great job with the music. He did a perfect job coordinating with our violinist during the ceremony, and our guests had a lot of fun on the dance floor at the reception!
When we secured our venue The Box House Hotel, David Medina was consistently recommended as a DJ for our event. We set up an introductory phone call and found out that he has a lot of experience there, knows the staff, is familiar with the layout, and is experienced with the equipment and weddings in general. The biggest things that stood out to us during our call was his professionalism and wide range of familiarity with different music genres and artists. He was also super nice, patient, and understanding of our musical preferences and the vibe we wanted to create for our event. After the call, we felt confident that he was the one for us. We went on to fill out a document of songs/artists to play and not play, and then had another call near the event date to discuss our plan for our ceremony, entrance, and first dance. On the event date, David not only executed these details to perfection, he also played an absolutely amazing set of music for our cocktail hour and dance party that really had so many people dancing on the floor, even the elders. It was a pleasant surprise how lively that made our wedding and people had so much fun, it was truly like we hosted our own private club. We loved his music so much that after the event, we requested for his playlist that night and he shared it! Now we can relive the memories. David is the absolute perfect DJ, and I wish we can host another wedding just to have him play for us. We love David and can't recommend him enough!

Hey Kevin & Tiffany,
Thank you for your amazing review. Your wedding was amazing! I'm glad that you and all of your guests were able to party the entire night. Wishing you the very best,
David
David was awesome! We found him through our venue’s preferred vendor and he knew how to coordinate with the venue because he’s familiar with the setup! David is thorough and if we have trouble finding a song for a specific part of the wedding, he gave us lists of popular choices to pick from! Would highly recommended David to anyone getting marry!
Working with David was seamless from the beginning. He was very responsive and took the time to speak to myself and my husband as many times as necessary. He coordinated with the venue so that I didn’t have to be the middle man. David followed our plans closely and did not miss any details! He knew exactly what we wanted to hear and we were very happy with our choice in hiring him. Would recommend!
DJ David Medina was great. He really kept the dance party alive all night and was great about incorporating my music preferences which aren't typical wedding dance songs into the day. He was also really responsive and great in the planning process. Definitely recommend.

Thanks for your positive review Emily. I'm glad that you and Josh had such a great experience working with me. Please spread the word to any of your recently engaged couples!
Cheers,
David
David was so incredible to work with. Our families come from two different cultural backgrounds and he was able to incorporate music everyone could enjoy. So many of our guests told us how great the music was all night. David was one of the best vendors we worked with (which is saying something, becuase everyone was great!). So kind, professional, experienced, and thoughtful. Will absolutely be recommending him. Thanks David!!
We gave DJ Medina a tough job and he delivered with flying colors! We had strong opinions about the music and he had a mixed audience (different ages, backgrounds, and nationalities) to entertain. Nonetheless, he did an amazing job keeping the party alive at all times (even my grandma was up and dancing for a good while).
David listened to our requests and incorporated our preferences in a thoughtful way, while reading the room well. He coordinated well with our other vendors to make sure that our away guests joining via livestream were able to participate in the ceremony.
Overall, David was a joy to work with and we would highly recommend him!
David was fantastic! I have known David for almost 15 years now and had no doubt he’d be the perfect DJ for our wedding. He was such a pleasure to work with prior to the big day; very organized and gave helpful recommendations. He kept the party going playing all our favorite songs! I would highly recommend David.
Hands down my favorite wedding DJ ever!!! David was also my favorite vendor to work with during wedding planning/coordination. He is incredibly professional, responsive, has a wonderful personality, inclusive and open to all music types, communicates clearly and will follow up if there are any issues or reminders coming up. Music is what was going to tie our biracial/bicultural wedding together. It was so important for my Moroccan family to feel affirmed and acknowledged through music AND they did! David, even handled my very bossy aunt and her friends with so much grace and patience. He played my chosen must play songs which is just a mood booster. I danced sooo much, my updo almost fell apart lol
He cares and loves what he does. I just can’t recommend him enough!!!
Experienced DJ not your cookie cutter DJ
Loved David! He came highly recommended by several folks who knew him during his days of DJing at salsa spots. What I loved about David is he wasn't your cookie cutter wedding DJ. He plays a range of songs from Salsa, Samba, Afro, Pop, Funk, etc. And his run of show the week before is on point. He knows what he is doing so much so my MC said, just give it to David, he is the real deal. Thank you DJ Medina for making my wedding dance floor packed every song and making our wedding one to remember.
DJ Medina was amazing! He hosted our wedding at the box house hotel in Brooklyn on September 17th, 2022. He played a great selection of music and had everyone on the dance floor the entire night! All of our guests commented on how great the music was. Thank you so much!!!
David took the time to get to know our music tastes and knew what to play to get all of our guests up and on the dance floor! He was able to bring our processional and first dance song ideas from our favorite Youtube finds to a reality our wedding! We appreciate all of the work that he put into making our dance floor the place to be!
I recommend DJ David X 1,000 for anyone looking for a night that's full of dancing, singing, and laughing. It was better than what we expected in every single way. The way David seamlessly included everyone's music taste and culture was mind blowing. All of our guests have been talking nonstop about the music, vibes, and dancing. We will never forget the spectacular experience, it felt like a movie.
11/10 recommend! David was so beyond amazing and we had so many compliments on the music! We had a hard time finding a DJ that would play our music taste and David was totally down to play our weird requests! Every meeting we had was fun and exciting and left us so happy we picked him. With wedding planning, things can be so stressful but we never had any doubts/ stress after we found David which was the biggest relief! Can’t thank him enough for the great time we had.
David was absolutely outstanding as the DJ for our wedding. Our wedding planner had recommended David right off the bat given she had worked with David many times before, and we are exceedingly happy with the selection. The whole process was easy - David met with us a few months before to get to know us and get a sense of who we are, then in the month prior to the wedding met with us again to really hammer home our preferences. In addition to the usual popular songs, he was able to basically accommodate anything we asked - including abridged versions of songs, uncommon songs/tunes for different parts of the wedding. He is flexible as well - for some parts of the wedding we selected very specific songs, for other parts we selected a type/genre/time period and he basically filled in the gaps perfectly. During the wedding, everything went off wonderfully, from the elegant greeting period/cocktail hour, to our first dances, to the eventual rocking dance floor. David was energetic, seamless in his transitions, and made for an amazing party overall. One of our friends literally said that it was "the best dance floor she had ever been on". It was an amazing wedding from beginning to end, thanks in large part to David Medina. If you're looking for someone detailed, organized, energetic, who will produce an amazing result, yet incredibly easy to work with, we highly recommend David!
David did a great job as DJ, and we are very happy we selected him. Several of our friends said he was fantastic and complemented the music as the best wedding music they've had at a wedding. David was very professional in his communication throughout the entire planning process, made sure to answer all of our questions, and was great during our wedding itself. Everything went as smoothly as we had hoped and we couldn't ask for anything more. In addition, he was able to accommodate non English songs we provided him into our wedding night and made sure he properly pronounced people's names. Highly recommended!
DJ David is the best! Highly recommend! We got married a couple weeks ago and he was professional, timely, and helpful. He did a great job working with us, while also providing great feedback for ideas we didn't think of! We had a surprise coordinated dance that he made sure to help it go seamlessly. The wedding was also half Indian and American, and he was respectful and did a great job integrating both cultures! He did an awesome job getting everyone on the dance floor the entire time, and keeping the whole event fun and lively! Thank you!
My husband and I met at a 3-day wedding celebration dancing through the streets of New Orleans. He’s from Bensonhurst (the streets where Travolta struts in Saturday Night Fever), my Cuban-Italian family hails from Miami. Needless to say, the music at our Brooklyn waterfront wedding had to be dance centric from start to finish. But no hokey New Jersey Sweet 16 playlists featuring Journey piano send-off’s or “Tonight’s gonna be a good night…” And no music too hardcore or niche to give any of our multi-generational guests a reason to take a boogey break unless they HAD to. Ya know, we all gotta eat.
We interviewed many DJ’s. Elite Miami club staples, highly-recommended NYC celebration experts. All lovely. But none of them, not one, compared to DJ Dave Medina. We’re thrilled to tell you why:
From the jump, DJ Dave was warm and welcoming. In our initial phone interview and every time we spoke leading up to our big day, you could tell he was invested in our guests having the musical experience we envisioned: a dance party to remember. He listened to us unpack our musical tastes, approximated all the genres we were open to, parsed out our do-not-plays (bye, Journey), and offered us the most reasonable quote we’d come across. Dave’s a family man, a Brooklynite himself; it was clear he wasn’t trying to gouge us. He’s also Dominican-American and ran a Cuban salsa show years back (bring it back, Dave!), so he understood the cultural importance of weaving in different kinds of Latin music to pay homage to our respective heritages. He didn’t bat an eye when we asked about additional live percussion to amp up the island feel, and offered his incredible percussionist Nestor at, again, a SUPER reasonable price. We didn’t want a ton of needless introductions or MC-ing to the nines; Dave totally understood why. Anything to strip down an all-too cookie cutter event to its purest joy—getting everyone, young and old, shakin their tail feathers. We also had a crazy idea to dance from our waterfront park wedding to the hotel reception celebration, much like a New Orleans second line. Dave made our dreams come true, and Nestor drummed us and our guests from our I Do’s straight into a beautiful, bumpin cocktail hour that everyone is STILL talking about.
They say your wedding day will be a blur. Truly, it was. But the most memorable part of that blur, the part we hold on to to this day and that others continue to echo is what a gorgeous ride our musical experience was. One hot feel-good jam after another, over and over, all reception long. Thanks to Dave, our parents’ LONG musical father-daughter and mother/son dance selections were finessed to a socially-acceptable clip. Every announcement was energetic, warm and real. Every shift in genre and mood was expertly handled. We couldn’t ask for a more perfect night of get-down. Oh and Nestor? Played alongside Dave till they finally popped the lights on. It was a dream start to finish.
Hire him, hire him, HIRE HIM. You’re signing on for pure magic, and true soul.

Thank you for the very detailed and beautifully written testimonial. I truly appreciate you taking the time to write and post it. It was a real pleasure working with you both. The wedding turned out to be an amazing party and I'm sure that if t...
he need for another BIG party arises; I will be first on your list. FYI, I just got re-hired to DJ a Bday/NYE party this year for a former couple ;-) So, you never know... ;-)
From our very first conversation with David, we knew he was the right fit for our wedding.
His calm and collected nature paired with his upbeat attitude and genuine love for music made him our perfect person to work with. As music lovers ourselves, we had a lot of strong opinions and ideas about how we envisioned our wedding playing out. From live performances to speeches, announcements, the ceremony, and our exhaustive list of what we wanted to have played on the dance floor, David was able to masterfully navigate the big event without a hitch. David made himself readily available and remained fully attentive, keeping a watchful eye on everything as the night unfolded. He was very dialed into what was going on and even made some quick on-the-fly adjustments to keep things running smoothly. One thing we were very admant about was not having was a lot of MCing/hype-up-the-crowd DJ sort of stuff. David heard our every word and acted with the utmost grace, tact, and professionalism. His announcements throughout the evening were clear, concise, and timed to perfection. Of course, this wouldn't be a complete review without mentioning the most important piece -- the DJing. David absolutely crushed it! He was somehow able to incorporate our niche, alt-indie favorites into an eclectic mix of high energy dance music that got everyone from ages 2-70 up and dancing. We couldn't be happier with how it all turned out and we owe a large part of that to David and his undeniable professionalism, expertise, flexibility, and guidance. I would hire him again in a heartbeat.
DJ David Medina is hands down the best dj for your wedding, not to mention his positive attitude and professionalism. We started working with David in 2020 and then the pandemic hit. He was so patient with us and was willing to continue working with us as we decided to wait until 2022 to have our wedding. Throughout this entire time, David was always responsive. When we finally had a date, he made it so easy and fun to create our wedding playlist. He understood our vision from the beginning and delivered 100%, playing exactly the tracks we wanted and having all the proper equipment to execute an amazing event. David is very professional and has a talent when it comes to music. He knows how to create a fun environment. Every person at our wedding was dancing and till this day, everyone talks about how much they enjoyed being on the dance floor. We would absolutely recommend David as your dj for your wedding!

Analaura,
Thanks so much for your review and for all the wonderful things you said. It was a pleasure working with you guys thru this journey to the end result. I'm so glad that the event went so well. Everyone did have a great time as did I. ...
Thanks again!
David exceeded all expectations we had for our wedding reception. He is so warm, friendly, and cool and just "got it" when I explained my vision for the vibe of our wedding. Our guests are still raving about the music and energy of the night. Would absolutely recommend hiring him if he is available!!!
Response from the Vendor on 08/09/2022
Thanks so much for your review. I also had a great time at your wedding. You picked the best music and made it so easy for me to just flow. It was hard not getting up to dance with you and your guests! Congrats again.
My husband and I knew DJ David Medina was our DJ right after our first phone conversation. He took our input and song list (which was long) and accommodated to our crowd! Everyone got on the dance floor and we did not stop the entire night long. We really appreciate him taking in our special requests and honoring our parents with some special songs. If you’re looking for a DJ who takes time to get to know you and will deliver the best curated music for your wedding, look no further. Again, we cannot recommend DJ Medina enough. Thank you!
From our first call with DJ Medina, we knew he was the right DJ for our wedding. He has a very calming presence and is very knowledgeable on how to command the dance floor. We trusted his music selection and gave him full control of what to play. He asked us a few genres we liked and kept us and our guests were dancing the entire night. Our guests keep talking about how incredible our DJ. We highly recommend DJ Medina! You won’t regret having him DJ your wedding!
David was an excellent DJ for our wedding! He really took our input as a couple to determine the different music and styles for our wedding. He is extremely professional and clearly an overly experienced wedding DJ. We loved him for our wedding and would recommend him to anyone else looking for one of the best DJs in the tristate area! He was great at fielding my (the bride) many song requests throughout the evening and keeping everything flowing and moving. The whole room was dancing for hours! Again, I cannot recommend enough. Thank you David!
