Where do I start when writing about the services DJ Rome provided for my wife and I on our wedding day? Throughout the entire planning process, Jerome or DJ Rome, was attentive to...
every need we had for our guests to get out on the dance floor and what type of music to get that job done. Our guest list wasn't big per se, but thanks to DJ Rome's playlist the guests were out of their seats and moving their feet. Rome and I built a relationship through this process and made me feel as if he really took into consideration my wants/needs. Wearing professional attire, was respectful to guests and staff around him, DJ Rome should be the DJ any subsequent newlyweds hire for their wedding day! Thank you Jerome for our experience which my wife and I will never forget and we owe a good majority of that to you!
DJ Rome 802 is hands down the best DJ ever!! We got married in September at Burke Mountain VT. From the moment we first reached out to Jerome, he was responsive and professional an...
d we knew he was exactly the one to help us create the perfect wedding day.
Jerome worked directly with the venue to ensure an easy day for everyone involved. This saved us from any unnecessary stress because he was on top of everything the whole time. He came out a day early for the wedding and spent the night at the resort to ensure he had plenty of time the day of the event to set up and wasn’t late for any reason. The transition from one event to the next was seamless, despite having to move from the top of the mountain and back into the resort for cocktail hour and the reception.
The reception was absolutely perfect. We had a few announcements and special dances we wanted and Jerome was great every step of the way. I’ve never seen a DJ do such a good job at getting everyone out onto the dance floor all night long. He had 93 year old grandmothers out there dancing to “Get Low” by Lil Jon and everyone in between. There was never a quiet moment and everyone really enjoyed it. He did a great job at reading the room and playing a great mix of songs that catered to all age groups and dancing styles.
The Photo Booth was set up in the perfect spot right near the bar, ensuring that everyone saw it and was able to sign the book he left for us. He was so interactive with all the guests, which made for a really fun experience for everyone! He took some awesome pictures in the Photo Booth with one of my little cousins who befriended him instantly. He wouldn’t leave his side all night and it’s such a great memory to have. It’s been weeks and he still asks how his DJ friend is doing every time I see him.
Overall, we have received so many comments from guests on how much they loved the DJ. Everything about working with him was a great experience and I’m already ready to hire him again. He is such a genuine person who truly wanted to be there celebrating with us. Thank you Jerome for everything!
Jerome was amazing to work with! He was extremely flexible with music selection and requests throughout the night and was amazing at feeling out the crowd to decide what to play ne...
xt from our playlist. Jerome also went the extra mile for us and provided sound and mic support for the band and officiant throughout the entire day before he took over. We highly recommended Jerome and couldn’t have asked for a better person to DJ our wedding. Thanks again!!!!!
We LOVED having DJ Rome at our wedding! Everything ran SO smoothly from the ceremony to the dance floor! Highly recommend!!
DJ Rome was incredible!! Our special day would not have been as wonderful as it was without him. Everyone -- even my grandparents -- was out on the dance floor and danced until the...
night's end. He was engaging, entertaining, respectful, and flexible. I asked to change my father-daughter dance song the day before the wedding, and he happily accommodated my request.
He provides a thorough survey that dives deep into your music taste, style, and vision for the night and holds true to your responses/requests. The music and timing of each kind of song were perfect. It was a great blend of slow and faster-paced songs that kept the energy in the right place.
My wedding was in June of this year, and even in August I'm still hearing from guests how much they enjoyed dancing the night away. If you want a DJ who will make your day extra special, DJ Rome is your guy!
DJ Rome was the perfect choice for our wedding! He read the room extremely well, and his music selections were all spot on. The dance floor was packed all night! He listened to a ...
wide variety of requests including those from children, which really made their night. Jerome played some line dances to get people dancing but he wasn't cheesy at all, which is a very hard balance to strike. In addition, he was a very kind person to work with leading up to the wedding. We got so many compliments on the music and the party, all thanks to Jerome! We would recommend him to anyone having a Vermont wedding.

He even helped with some surprises, like the secret song I sang to my husband during our vows, which Jerome supplied extra equipment for. We are so glad we chose Jerome as our wedding DJ! I'd recommend his services to anyone.

ed it when it came to setting up the portable speakers and mic for our ceremony, and then dealing with the generator setup in the reception tent. The sound quality was great, and the song changes and transitions were perfectly timed. DJ Ray Hill was very well prepared, followed our ideas and suggestions for the music we wanted to hear, and threw a great dance party for us! Thank you, DJ Ray Hill!
DJ Rome did an outstanding job with our small, non-traditional wedding day vision. We wanted to keep the day simple and minimize the typical wedding traditions and cheesy announcem...
ents, which he completely respected. He effortlessly blended into the background and delivered us the dinner-party vibe turned party that we were looking for.
During the planning stage, he was responsive and pleasant to work with. On our wedding day, he made sure our ceremony music was right on cue and cut at exactly the right spots. He blended our favorite tunes tastefully during cocktail hour and dinner to set the mood for guest conversation. When it was time to hit the dance floor, he turned it up and kept us and all our friends dancing all night long (and on a Thursday!). I would highly recommend DJ Rome to anyone.

asked him to announce our wedding party like they were being announced as the Boston Bruins starting line up and he completely nailed it!! (it was the one and only thing my groom asked for). DJ Rome was also able to mic up my officiant and worked with my bridesmaid to provide audio connection for a surprise video we played during my father/daughter dance. He made everything seamless and we didn't have to worry about a thing. Thank you DJ Rome getting everyone out on the dance floor and keeping the party going all night!

g. Dancing and music was very important to us and Jerome really came through. The dance floor was rocking and we danced our butts off. He also did an awesome job with lighting that really added to the experience and vibe.
Jerome also did the photo booth for your wedding. It was an awesome set up and so much fun. We were especially excited to receive copies of all the pictures in a book as well as digital copies.
We highly recommend Jerome and we will most definitely be hiring him again.

DJ Rome was amazing! Would 100% recommend him for your big day. Super professional and quick to respond. He knows how to get a party started! Our guests loved his music!
#CovidWedding in upstate NY. We hired Rome for our perfect day well before the pandemic hit. We chose him because , no offense to the other DJs in the area but Rome is the only DJ ...
in the area that's not 1 dimensional. We are party people and listen to ALL types of music. After tons of research we found that Rome was the only DJ for us. We had a huge party planned but unfortunately mandates forced us to cut it down big time. Rome rolled with the punches and still made the day PERFECT. Besides those challenges we had an outdoor ceremony and indoor reception, a huge list of do NOT plays and tons of MUST plays. Rome ran the show to perfection, mixing everything timely and smoothly. After leaving a lasting impression with all our guest we are 100% planning on a huge bash when things calm down with Covid and plan on DJ Rome being there!
DJ Rome was INCREDIBLE. He was very communicative and detail oriented to make sure our day went smoothly. He took the lead and ran the night perfectly. He knew exactly how to get t...
he crowd up and going. The dance floor was packed all night. DJ Rome even came out and joined us for a song when invited! He played every genre so everyone at the party was pleased. Have DJ Rome at your event and you will not only have an amazing time but you will make a lifelong friend.
DJ Rome was better than I could have ever imagined a DJ could be for our September wedding. From the beginning he was easy to work with, asked for our opinion to perfect the playli...
sts, and was flexible enough to incorporate a surprise happy birthday during our reception. He had people dancing the entire night, from reception to after party. He knows how to alter playlists for the type of party and crowd. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience with one of the most important vendors of a wedding night - would recommend him to ANYONE!
PS. Rent the photo booth!!! We were laughing and having fun with the props all night, and Rome’s team gifts an amazing book with the photos taken, what a thoughtful touch
I’m sure you’re shocked to see this one star review in a sea of five star reviews. That’s just a fraction of the shock we felt on our wedding day with DJ Rome. We booked him becaus...
e he had all incredible reviews and was recommended by other vendors we trusted.
I walked into the day with zero concerns about him after his intensive planning process and friendly phone calls but that very, very quickly changed. Our venue and other vendors soon realized during set up that he was behaving strangely, possibly under the influence of something, and not at all prepared for our wedding. He did not have our in-depth plan and our venue coordinator had to get our walk out lineup for the reception from me last minute. When we were introduced at our reception he announced us with a completely different last name. The schedule for the night and the playlists that we impeccably planned and discussed were completely ignored. This was very clear to us as the dancing began and we had MULTIPLE people from our bridal party, our other vendors, and even his own assistant for the photo booth go up to him and ask him to play our requested songs and stop harassing guests in the microphone but it was repeatedly not followed. During the reception he began making inappropriate comments to the guests and interrupting songs. He called one of my bridesmaids who made a request “thick” over the mic. He asked me (the bride) to twerk before he would play a song, he asked guests to cheer if they thought I was the hottest girl on the dance floor. All in all, extremely inappropriate. He would frequently stop songs and switch to different ones at times that don’t make sense (who would ever want Shout to be stopped mid “a little bit softer now” for Bad Romance??) I think he only played two of our requested songs. Our vendors who had worked with him in the past agreed this was not his typical style and something was wrong and we were right to be upset. Our bridal party continuously asked him to put on songs that we requested and stood with him as he seemed to aimlessly scroll on his computer before playing a completely different song. This is when it became abundantly clear that he was incapacitated. At one point he stopped playing music completely, babbling incoherently into the microphone and was asked by our wedding venue to leave and security got involved. An incident report was filed by security at Spruce Peak in which they note “an incident occurred resulting in negligence in services provided and harassment of individuals in the Lieb & Mulvihill Wedding Party”. In short, he ruined our wedding reception.
There were multiple other details that were not achieved as well, like cutting the parents dances short when he was the one who suggested we play the full songs, having only 4 of the 12 of the uplights that we paid for (and them initially being the wrong color), having an incorrect date on our photo booth prints (June 16, 2031? vs our date of December 11, 2021 - Not even an understandable mistake). All in all nothing he did was at all reflective of his other positive reviews and left a huge damper on our wedding day that was only recovered thanks to our amazing family and friends. He gave us a full refund but no amount of money can ever make up for a ruined wedding reception that we will never get back. There is absolutely no excuse for what happened on our wedding day. Save yourself a massive headache and possibly disastrous wedding day and do not book this DJ.

ther that statement will remain true! My
Fiancé and I as well as our guests did not leave the dance floor! We did not want the night to end, we had the most fun we’ve had in a long time! The smiles and laughter was like nothing I’ve ever felt and boy did we move like nobody was watching! All in all, AMAZING!!!
I don't think I can say enough kind words about DJ Rome to do him justice. After a hectic morning working with our venue folks, DJ Rome's professionalism and music really made it a...
ll fall together. We had a really small and intimate wedding, and I was afraid nobody would be dancing. However, DJ Rome's music really got the whole crowd dancing. He answered all my questions in a timely manner, and seriously was my only vendor who responded in a timely manner haha. I didn't have to email multiple times or anything! His voice is super calming and he did a great job MC'ing the event. He got all my music down pat with just me answering a questionnaire. No regrets...cept I just wish I had more events that I could have him DJ for LOL. Our wedding was sooo much FUNNNNNN, and DJ Rome played a huge role in that.

e of wedding me wanted, and our guests were out on the dance floor ALL night, even for a few extra songs. DJ Rome went above and beyond to make sure our music, speeches and entrances were just what we wanted. Everyone at our wedding loved him just as much as we did. If you’re looking for a DJ who rolls with the punches and will do anything to make your day perfect and memorable, DJ Rome 802 is the choice. You helped make our wedding day (after two and a half years of planning) so special, Jerome! Thank you!!
There just isn't enough words to explain all the good things to say about DJ Rome. Like most brides, the idea of planning a wedding started off exciting and then quickly became dau...
nting. There were moments where hiring vendors was tricky. DJ Rome, never made it tricky. He made it easy and comfortable and is such a kind human being. He answered every anxiety-induced question I had with kindness, he replied quickly to all of my emails (there were a lot) and he was so supportive and thoughtful throughout the whole process. He is the guy for the job. My family is not big dancers, and he still had people out there moving. He timed the entrance songs for the ceremony perfectly. He even handled some drama that was happening at the venue, and I never even knew about it until after. He was so flexible with us and went with the flow of the day perfectly. Simply, he felt like he was an old friend instead of someone we hired. He was the best, and both my husband and I are so grateful to him! Hire DJ Rome, you will not be sorry.
During both the ceremony and reception DJ Rome absolutely crushed it. During the ceremony, everything was really well timed and he was able to fulfill our requests that likely dif...
fered from other weddings! During the reception he also welcomed the idea of trying a new challenge with open arms and it was executed flawlessly. After dinner the dance floor was NEVER empty, and stayed that way until the end of the night! 10/10 recommend.
J was very responsive with any questions we had in the planning process and flexible with changes we had to make due to COVID.

ick to return emails, and couldn't be a nicer guy. He listened to all our ideas and made it happen, just like we imagined. The musical atmosphere for the entire wedding was perfect. He also helped make the wedding flow really well. You did such a great job!!!!! Thank you so much, DJ Rome 802!!!!
Due to COVID, my partner and I were unable to hold the wedding we had planned and instead, are now planning
a small intimate gathering. Although I did not witness firsthand Jerome...
's DJing, I can speak to his friendliness, organization, and professionalism. Before deciding to change the look of our wedding altogether, we postponed our large wedding to one year later, hoping that COVID would let up. Jerome was understanding and flexible, two things that are not guaranteed in the wedding industry. I would book again in a heartbeat. Lastly, if you need an extra boost of organizational support for your big day, Jerome is your guy. He is practically part wedding planner with the check-lists and organizational documents he provides couples for overall wedding planning. Thank you for everything, J!
Unfortunately due to COVID & being out of state, we were unable to hold our initial wedding. We had an immediate family ceremony that didn’t allow for a DJ.
I can’t speak to his ...
Dj skills but I can speak to his professionalism, response time & overall greatness. If our budget & time allowed a large wedding- you bet your booty we’d have Jerome there. He was so incredible with our schedule, putting things on hold, rescheduling & even our deposit. We knew we were in good hands from the moment we spoke to him on the phone prior to hiring.
Just on that alone- I’d recommend DJ Rome & his crew.
Thanks for being so wonderful in such a crummy time!
I highly recommend DJ Rome 802! From the moment we reached out for booking, Jerome was extraordinarily communicative, organized and professional - and his services go well beyond d...
ay-of music needs.
As a couple who planned a wedding during a deeply challenging time in our world, Jerome was one of the few vendors who was truly “on our side.” His realistic perspective, flexibility and empathy did not go unnoticed. Thank you, DJ Rome 802!
