DJ T-Rex

moment, look no further! Leading up to our wedding, Thomas was incredibly generous with his time and was willing to meet, both over Zoom and in person over beers, to talk through music choices for all aspects of our wedding. He also provided a worksheet that was helpful for thinking this through, something we really appreciated. We wanted a big dance party for our wedding, and that’s what we got! We heard from so many guests how much they loved our music and that credit goes to Thomas. Thank you Thomas for making our wedding such a fun and special day!

t with Thomas, we knew he was the perfect match to bring the soundtrack of our wedding to life. He was extremely knowledgeable of music, he communicated fantastically with all of our vendors, and asked the right questions to make the music run seamlessly that day. We loved his questionnaire which let us pick the songs we needed to hear (and just as important, the ones we did NOT want to hear), and stuck to that list. Picking music ended up being our favorite part of wedding planning! We not only walked away from our wedding thrilled with our night - we walked away with a newfound friendship in Thomas. 10/10!

how much you could tell he loves what he does. From the first planning session he took all our ideas and easily helped us to create a vision for our big day and the ultimate dance party. We planned a majority of our Boston, MA wedding from Salt Lake City, UT, which was never an issue for Thomas as he was easily reachable and willing to accommodate and be flexible for planning. Leading up to the wedding, Thomas was there to help us pick music and to help us create a playlist that we knew would be so much fun for our guests during the reception. Thomas was ready for anything on our big day including being ready to lend a hand, if there were any technical issues for our string quartet we booked for the ceremony, and was ready to get the party started after dinner. Thomas had the right ideas when it came to creating the dance party of our dreams, and had everyone on the dance floor the entire night! I could not recommend Thomas enough, he will truly create an awesome experience for you and your guests.

lay List was EXTENSIVE), but he managed our preferences so well and played a mix of genres and artists that had a little something for everyone. He also included some traditional Portuguese music which meant a lot to me and my family. Everyone at our wedding from teenagers to 70-year-olds were raving about him, and that's hard to achieve! Thank you, Thomas, for making our wedding SO much fun and so effortless for us!

our ceremony. The dance floor stayed packed all night and everyone had a blast thanks to Thomas AKA DJ TRex.

nue’s list during our initial search for vendors. Jon Strader was not available for our wedding date, but he referred Tom to us, and we are so glad he did! We would not have met Tom otherwise. Surprisingly, my (now) husband and I felt that picking a DJ was one of the hardest vendors to choose from because they do not have a portfolio you can look at the way photographers, videographers, florists, and makeup artists do and unless you crash a wedding, it is difficult to hear them play. We were lucky to see Tom play at a local brewery and after meeting him in person, my husband and I knew we had to book him. In preparation for the big day, Tom's ‘homework’ was super easy to fill out and so comprehensive that we heard the songs we requested all night long. Without listing too many songs on our homework sheet, we told Tom the styles of music and several artists we were looking for and Tom ran with it. Fast forward to our wedding night, Tom had everyone on the dance floor all night long – so much that we almost missed our last shuttle to the hotel! Not only did he do a great job with cocktail hour, formalities, and the dance party, but he also MC’d our centerpiece giveaway and photo dash (if you haven’t heard what this is, I highly recommend doing it – it’s a great quick way to get a photo of you with every guest without having to go table-to-table, providing more time for you and your new spouse to enjoy the dance floor and it’s super fun!). Tom is also great at feeling the room – playing for all age ranges and all music styles. We had a few slow songs and an anniversary dance planned, but we had such a wild crowd, that while jamming out together, Tom jumped right in with us and asked if he could keep the high energy going and nix the anniversary dance – we immediately agreed as we trusted his judgment. He also kept to our ‘do not play’ list even when we had guests request some songs on that list. Tom went out of his way to develop a personal relationship with us leading up to the wedding, which made us more confident and comfortable with choosing him and made the night-of that much more amazing! My husband’s vendor-picking criteria was “Can I have a beer with this guy after the wedding?” and you definitely can with Tom! Tom is electric both on and off the job. We not only had a wonderful DJ for our wedding, but we have made good friends and cannot wait to watch as both of our families grow. We cannot recommend him enough!

a couple of playlists of the general vibes we were going for throughout the night, and Tom knocked it out of the park using the lists as reference but not playing from them directly. He was a pleasure to work with - his 'homework' is so comprehensive that I heard our must plays throughout the night in perfect and unexpected ways. He also worked with us to incorporate our friend singing a song during the dance party so it was seamless. In the end, Tom had *everyone* - from our wild friends to the mother of the groom's friends - dancing. It's been four days since our wedding and people are still reaching out about the music Tom played and telling us how much fun they had at our wedding. Speaking of wild friends - we specifically asked Tom not to play Migos, and despite being cornered in the bathroom by our friends, Tom did not play Migos. He's the real deal and I cannot recommend him enough!!!!!!!

from start to finish. He was so good he had my uncle Ben dancing and he has no legs. He also went out of his way to develop a personal relationship with us leading up to the wedding which made it that much more incredible. If you dont have a great time at a DJ T-rex event it is without a doubt your fault. This man is electric, either hire him or be lame and boring the choice is yours. Choose fun choose DJ T-rex.

g a wedding fashion show come to life! He is so fun and feels like you are hanging out with your friend listening to awesome jams! All of our friends and family adored the music and kept complimenting us on how fabulous our DJ was! Even other vendors mentioned to us how lovely Tom is!! He’s the sweetest! Can’t wait to hang with T-Rex again soon - he’s now our lifelong pal! THANKS T-REX! Love ya!!! Xoxo

and groom as well as family,guest and other vendors. He truly went out of his way ahead of time with all his preparation and questions to be ready for the big moment and he rocked it out of the ballfield. Such a sincere and hard worker. You can not go wrong with DJT-Rex at your event.

re working with a good friend! We really appreciated and valued Thomas’ attention to detail - it really felt that he cared just as much as we did about everything going perfectly! Thomas took the time to get to know us, our music styles, and vision for the wedding. He “read the room” during the reception perfectly. We received so many compliments from guests about how fun the dance floor was and others saying they’ve never seen so many people dancing at a wedding. The dancing was one of the parts we were most excited about and Thomas definitely delivered. Thank you Thomas!!!

I didn’t know was that he would surpass all of our expectations. All it takes is that first call with Thomas to know that you made the right decision about choosing him for your wedding DJ. He was extremely professional and made it very clear that his job was to not only to take your vision for your wedding music and put it into action, but to help in any way that he could, which he did. On our wedding day we had some last minute changes to our wedding party introductions and some timing issues we asked him to work around and with a smile on his face he turned to us and said “don’t worry I got this” and he did. I can’t begin to tell you how easy it was to work with Thomas and how receptive he was to our ideas and the music we wanted played. If you have any question about his dedication to his craft and to ensuring that your day goes perfect just know that he had never been to our wedding venue before so he got there a few hours earlier than he normally would to familiarize himself with the venue, to setup and check his equipment and to speak with our wedding coordinator and other vendors to make sure that everything was going according to schedule. So you might be thinking to yourself, ok I get it he’s really easy to work with, he’s very professional and he makes it his mission to take your vision and put it into action, but can he rock a wedding? Let me put it like this, I’ve never had more people come up to me and say we’ve never seen so many people dance at a wedding before.That’s a testament to DJ T-Rex’s ability to not only play great music but to understand the vibe of the wedding. To know what songs keep people dancing and to continue to play those types of songs. If you’re not convinced that DJ T-Rex will rock your wedding, I’ll leave you with this: at our wedding we had a hard stop at 10:30. DJ T-Rex wrapped up exactly at 10:30 as a “one more song” chant echoed throughout the dance floor. After getting permission from our venue for one more song the dance floor remained packed until the cops showed up to shut us down. DJ T-Rex rocked so hard that the cops had to shut down our wedding. Now I’m sure you’re going to continue to read the other reviews below mine, but let me save you some time because they’re all going to say pretty much the same thing about Thomas: professional, easy to deal with and the wedding wouldn’t have rocked as much without him. Do yourself a favor, instead of continuing to read reviews and look at other wedding DJ’s; contact DJ T-Rex right now and see if he’s available on your wedding date. I can promise you that after speaking with him you’ll know that he’s the right DJ for your special day.

e cares deeply about his craft and is a true professional. Could not recommend highly enough. Down-to-earth as well, he likes to talk music. Even though my wife and I have very different music tastes, he was able to seamlessly create a playlist that reflected both of our tastes.

nd really wants to get to know you as a couple. We had to postpone our 2020 wedding to 2021, and he could not have been more accommodating or helpful. We had several meetings with him over the course of two years, and he totally got our vision and vibe for our wedding. Our guests raved about the music choices at our wedding! He kept the energy up for the dance floor, and made all the transitions seamless. He truly works on making the wedding music personal to you and your partner, and not just generic wedding music. If you are looking for a DJ I cannot recommend DJ T.Rex enough for a personalized wedding.

f-proclaimed beer snob), the meeting went great! We talked about the types of music we like and what we were hoping to hear played at the wedding. My husband and I felt like we clicked and would love to have him as our DJ. Then COVID happened, we postponed and were able to keep DJ T Rex on as our DJ. We continued to stay in touch during the re-planning and we arranged a video chat when we got stumped and needed some help with some of the ceremony and reception songs. Due to local ordinances, the DJ was required to use the venue’s own sound equipment, but DJ T-Rex was up for the challenge. Tom arranged a visit to our new venue so he could figure out what he would need to bring and what setup the venue was providing. At the wedding, Tom arrived early and had everything set up for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception which involved having equipment in multiple locations. He was able to play all the songs during our ceremony that we requested and had an awesome list of music for our cocktail hour. We got so many compliments (I even had a friend who has a wedding coming up ask to steal our playlist). His energy and professionalism made him a great MC to piece together all of the different parts of our wedding and keep our guests engaged and having fun. Our reception was great, I only wish it was longer because there were so many good songs and I didn’t want it to end.

or I mean you could, but). We were completely confident within minutes of meeting Tom for the first time. He had our backs the entire way and threw an absolutely incredible party. He's so on the ball and so easy to talk to, and brings a ton of experience to the table, so he was able to help us manage some of our nitpicky wedding anxieties beyond music and hosting. We met with Tom twice prior to our wedding; once to chat more generally about ourselves and our vision for the day, and once closer to the day for more specific planning. He was also super responsive to emails in between. He helped us blend in lots of silly requests seamlessly - we had a 2000s emo / classic rock vibe for our cocktail party, which went off super well with our entire Millenial-GenX-Boomer crowd; he helped us embarrass one of our cousins who was having a birthday; and he worked in a mosh pit so that my sister and I could surprise our dad with a mutual favorite band we love seeing in concert together. He was also an excellent sport with some difficult personalities (our family is extremely exuberant, if you will) as well as all the kids we had in attendance. Tom had us set up well ahead of time and we really didn't have to think about anything on the day itself. We're still getting comments on "how great the DJ was and how sharp he looked!" It's so clear that Tom loves what he does, and we felt super spoiled throughout the process. We absolutely cannot recommend him enough.

punctual, and knowledgeable. He was very attentive and helpful during our wedding planning. He always promptly replied to emails and met with us several times to go over the flow of the night. We relied heavily on his experience and boy did it pay off. And that’s before we get to the music part. He worked with us on lesser known classical and obscure foreign pieces for our ceremony, came up with an amazing set for our cocktail reception that mixed jazzy Sinatra-era songs with soulful R&B, and made it almost impossible for anyone to say no to the dance floor later in the night. Even our relatives in their 60s and 70s couldn’t resist. It was a sight to behold. He was also the perfect MC for the evening. He made announcements to herd our guests to the right places at the right times. He flawlessly hosted games during dinner. He even did a voice over on our grand entrance Beyoncé track to help us personalize it. His attention to detail and his ability to read the room are nothing short of impressive. Did we mention he was dressed perfectly in a three-piece suit for the occasion as well? We simply could not recommend him enough. 10/10 would work with again.

should back up and say that music means everything to me, so I was super nervous about hiring a DJ. I have a million weird opinions about music (I've worked in music for nearly a decade and my husband is a musician, most of our friends either work in music, play music of both). So it meant a lot to me to work with a DJ who wasn't going to mindlessly put on a bunch of cheesy or generic music. Tom cares about music just as much as I do, if not more. He knows music, like, he really knows it, he knows what people like, he knows weddings, he's dependable / reliable, he's detail oriented, and he took virtually all of the work and stress out of the process. But beyond that, he's a good human being and I just truly enjoyed working with him. If you're anything like me and find planning a wedding to be mostly a garbage pile of expensive decisions, boring details and desperately trying to please various family, it's even more important to feel at ease with all of your vendors. Tom had everyone dancing all night and even my most opinionated music friends thought he was incredible. I loved every song. I can't (and won't) thank him or recommend enough.

king it a fun evening for all.

staurant venue but we are thrilled that we hired Tom. We had no idea how critical having a fantastic, organized DJ is to keep the night going- he was extremely helpful in helping us figure out how/when to do the toasts and first dances. We met twice before the wedding and felt immediately comfortable with his warm personality. His professionalism before and during the wedding reassured us that we made the right decision with DJ T-Rex. We had guests come up to us that night telling us how much they enjoyed the music! We absolutely recommend DJ T-Rex for anyone who wants a super, fun wedding!!

usic to keep a beautiful flow all night. Dinner music was calm and enjoyable. Once it was time to dance, you can see how much passion he has for mixing music. He reads the crowd, keeps tempo and our guests could not have been happier. As the bride and groom he hit all our requests, was steadfast on the do not play list and made us wish the clock could have slowed down. Make your wedding engaged, fun and memorable: Hire DJ T-Rex and make great memories

lented, energetic, and SO friendly. We had a handful of get together's prior to wedding where we sat down with Tom (and his awesome wife Melanie) to go through exactly what we were looking for for our special day. Tom is a true professional. He listens to all of your requests and also helps you make great decisions for music you may have not even been thinking of (because you have wedding planning brain!) On day of, Tom was prepared, polished, and the TALK of the entire wedding. He kept the flow of the evening going perfectly with toasts, parent dances, etc and kept everyone up and dancing the remainder of the night with his perfect selection of tunes for our crowd! I would recommend Tom to anyone getting married anywhere, with any style wedding. He was fantastic!

ted, but I took a chance since we loved every song he chose to play that random night. Thomas went out of his way to meet with us a couple times before the wedding to go over our vision for music for that night. We loved chatting and laughing with him! He really did “get” us and from pre-ceremony to ceremony through cocktail hour and then ALL night long he delivered! Everyone kept coming up to us and saying how much they loved the music and Thomas kept everyone on the dance floor all night. If we ever are in need of a DJ again, he’s the only person we will call on! Not to mention, recommend to EVERYone we know!

said absolutely and we could not have been any happier with him DJing the most important day of our life. He was on top of everything as far as music for the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception as well as announcing the family and wedding party and getting the mics set up for toasts. He really listens to the vibe of music you want and the songs on your play and do not play list. He had some great suggestions as well! He truly made our day and I cannot stress how much of a blast all our friends and family had dancing the night away. He reads the crowd so well in terms of the music to be played and all ages loved him. We got so many compliments how fun the party was. He is also the coolest most down to earth guy.

wanted played and didn't want played. The ceremony and dinner music was exactly the vibe that we had wanted. The dance party was so fun and he played all the songs that we wanted. Family of all ages were on the dance floor, and at the end of the night people kept chanting "TREX, TREX" to keep playing music. We could have kept dancing for hours longer if we had more time at the venue. Highly recommend Thomas!

it could be. It's clear he has a passion for music and his enthusiasm can't help but get you excited as well. He provided suggestions for everything from the processional to entrance songs (things that definitely slipped my mind!). DJ T-Rex was able to provide music for ceremony, cocktail hour and during the reception. During the reception, I truly think everyone was on the dance floor the entire night. I provided Tom with some songs we wanted to hear but he was able to feed off the crowd and kept everyone up and having a blast. We can definitely give DJ T-Rex a whole lot of credit for making our wedding an epic night. Could not recommend him more- what a great guy and even greater DJ!

sic of your event can make or break it. He wants to get the vibe just right, and he does. I am so happy my husband and I found him to DJ our wedding this past June. From the first emails that were exchanged between us, I was so impressed. It was clear from the beginning that he is a true music fan of all genres, which really came in handy for him to guide us through picking the big songs to reflect our unique selves! (I walked down the aisle to a Beyoncé song; my husband to The Rolling Stones :)) but he doesn't only care about the key songs, he makes sure every song is right. Pre-ceremony, cocktail hour and dancing music are all customized to your venue, guest list, and your vibe. He met up with us multiple times leading up to the wedding to get a feel for what we wanted, and he even visited the venue with us. He gave us a questionnaire to fill out which gave room for multiple "must play" and "do not play" songs, which I really appreciated! When it came to the wedding day, he helped us run our schedule even better than our event manager did. He read the crowd and gave them what they wanted while still including the songs my husband and I wanted to hear. We got so many compliments on how great the music was and the dance floor was packed all night! He truly was there for us every step of the way, and we recommend him so highly!
