DJ DeafGeoff absolutely crushed it at our wedding. He was professional and organized throughout the planning process, instilling confidence for our big day. And when the day arrived, he was on top of all the details, from mic and speaker locations to timing and vibes. The owner of the wedding venue later told us how easy he found Geoff to work with, and how impressed he was with Geoff's ability to nail the sound levels perfectly for the space (loud enough to lure people to the dancefloor; reasonable enough so that people on the side could still hang and chat). He worked with our requests and added his own flair on top, chopping and mixing songs and keeping the energy going. And his final song selection ended up creating one of the best moments of our wedding. So happy we went with DJ DeafGeoff. 10/10 would recommend. Thank you Geoff!!!

Geoff did an absolutely amazing job at our wedding. We loved the entire experience with Geoff from the first contact to the final day. We provided a very wide range of songs in multiple playlists and he did an awesome job of mixing them all together. He kept the energy up the entire night and we received multiple compliments from guests on his performance.

Geoff did an absolutely amazing job at our wedding! He was always extremely responsive throughout the time leading up to our big day, and was very helpful with song selection and any other questions we had. Day of our wedding, Geoff went out of his way to ensure everyone was in the right spots and helped to keep everyone organized to allow for a smooth transition throughout the evening. He was an immense help for the wedding party and very communicative with our other vendors. All of our guests were very impressed by Geoff’s professionalism along with providing such a great and fun atmosphere. We could not recommend Geoff more!

Geoff was tremendous! Our reception was in Three Mile Bay and he set the perfect vibe for the perfect day. Geoff organization was similar to mine and I appreciated how we got the music set up to celebrate our special day. Thanks Geoff! - Connor & Sylvie Ruetz

Geoff was fantastic! I had high expectations for our pop-punk themed wedding and he really went above and beyond. I don’t know how he did it but he transitioned songs that were absolutely unconventional for a wedding and made it work. All our friends and family had a fantastic time. Very communicative up front with a clearly defined plan and google document.

Geoff was amazing through and through! He was extremely efficient when it came to communication, he understood our vision early on, and he accommodated all of our unique requests to make our wedding day special. He was on time and so willing to accomodate all of our sound equipment needs, even considering the nasty weather that our outdoor wedding faced from the start. Most of all he was organized pre-wedding and during the wedding to keep things running as smooth as possible that day. Could not recommend him more!

DJ Geoff was wonderful at our wedding. Music ran smoothly throughout the entire evening. Everyone had a great time on the dance floor (there may have been some who never left!)
From the start, Geoff was communicative and organized. He had an already built music planner which made picking songs for each moment much easier. He was awesome with making announcements and keeping the flow going. I would 100% recommend him to anyone in the NY area for their DJ needs!

Geoff is a gem. We had a low-key wedding (100 guests) and he was perfect. Geoff is a great communicator, patient, and sweet as pie. He has great energy and our guests adored him (so did we!!). His help with music was wonderful and his planner was very user-friendly. Geoff was attentive throughout the whole wedding and was down to boogie in his booth! Geoff, we loved having you and appreciate you bunches!!! 💕💕

Geoff is the best! He was extremely professional and communicative, from the moment we were interested in booking him to the moment our wedding ended. The wedding music planner that he shared with us as soon as we booked him was honestly the guide/key to planning our whole special day. On the day of our wedding, he stayed in super close communication from the moment he arrived. He constantly checked in to make sure things are the way that we wanted them, and he even thought to make announcements that kept things organized and efficient - things that we would have never even thought of asking him to do. Your DJ is the backbone of your event, and you definitely can’t go wrong with Geoff!

DJ DeafGeoff is the best wedding DJ you can ask for. His booking process and pre-event practices are detailed yet simple and quick. During the big day he was professional, quick to act and adapt based on the guests and mood. Three of our guests (who have attended multiple weddings) all shared that they believed Geoff to be the BEST wedding DJ they have ever worked with / experienced. Most of all, his smile and personality make him an exceptional "plus one" to you wedding/event. I would work with Geoff 100 time over and if I ever need another DJ, I'm calling him first.

I met Geoff at a weddding I attended, and I knew very quickly that I HAD to book him for mine. I was impressed that Geoff wasn’t just using a playlist, he was actually mixing songs together seamlessly. If he wound up playing something that didn’t get the crowd going, he was able to shift gears and bring them back to the floor, and stick with a vibe that people were enjoying. For my wedding, we gave him a long list (probably too long) of songs we wanted to hear, and when we looked at the list afterwards, he hit every single one. On top of just being a great DJ, Geoff was also proactive about keeping the whole production running smoothly; like when he came to find me to tell me it was time for the speeches, cake cutting, etc. I never expected him to take charge of keeping our timeline for us, but I’m so glad he did. If you book Geoff for your wedding, it’s gonna be a great party so please send me an invite, I’ll pay for my plate. If you don’t book Geoff for your wedding, you’re missing out.

We knew we made the right choice in our DJ from our very fist interaction with DJ Deaf Geoff. From the beginning, he was incredibly helpful and enthusiastic and made sure everything ran smoothly. He did such an incredible job with all preparations and every moment of our wedding and we couldn't be happier with how the night turned out!
