LOOK NO FURTHER!! DJ D Monti exceeded every expectation we had for our wedding day. His professionalism and communication throughout the entire process were top notch. He is so per...
sonable and truly the best at what he does.
I can’t count how many times guests came up to us during the wedding telling us how amazing the music and DJ were. The dance floor was packed the entire night, not a single empty moment. Every song fit perfectly, and he completely understood the vibe we wanted without us having to over-explain anything.
If you are looking for a DJ who will keep the energy up all night and make your wedding unforgettable, book DJ D Monti immediately. We could not have asked for a better experience!
Any questions?

We can’t say enough good things about DJ Monti!!! He was highly recommended to us by a few people and boy were they right! He was great from the very first meeting we had right thr...
oughout the whole entire process. His energy was amazing and the dance floor was packed all night! He was so good about playing all the songs we wanted with a mix of his own too! He really knows how to read the crowd that is for sure! We got so many compliments on the music and were told by so many guests how much fun they had on the dance floor! The uplighting was beautiful & elegant during the ceremony and was so fun for dancing afterwards! Our monogram was also beautiful!! Highly recommend DJ Monti!!!

DJ Monti is the absolute best! We could not have wished for a better DJ. He was very detail-oriented and walked through every minute of our ceremony and reception with us beforehan...
d. He was very fun to work with and understood our vibe and vision instantly. On the day, DJ Monti executed everything we asked for flawlessly and with extremely positive spirits. We received rave reviews from many of our guests. He played our pre-made playlists with minimal mixing, read the crowd and deviated when necessary to keep the party going, and kept commentary and announcements to a minimum (as we had requested). After the last song, he even played an encore when asked to by the best man. We are so happy to have worked with DJ Monti and couldn't recommend him more!

I cannot say enough great things about DJ Monti!! He did our wedding on 9/27 and I think I only left the dance floor one time all night, and that was to change my dress so I could ...
dance even harder. From the beginning, he was incredibly thorough and asked all the important questions in order to put together the best playlist to match our vibes. Our guests also had nothing but great things to say, and kept raving about how fun the evening was. We have a fun group of friends/family and a pretty wide variety of music genres that people enjoy, but everyone loved the music that night. His co-DJ also killed it that night. We frequently saw him joining in on the dance floor, and even got into our little conga line we formed around the room to The Proclaimers "I'm Gonna Be (500 miles)". Thank you again!

We had DJ Monti as our DJ at our wedding at Kirkbrae Country Club and he absolutely crushed it. From the moment the night started he kept the energy high and the dance floor packed...
. The vibe never dropped once.
We also had some very difficult last names for announcements and he nailed every single one without missing a beat. Total pro.
He was so easy to work with, super friendly, organized, and honestly one of the most affordable vendors we had. Days later people are still texting us saying how much fun they had and specifically mentioning how great the DJ was.
If you want a packed dance floor and a DJ who knows how to read the room and keep the party going all night, DJ Monti is your guy. Absolute 10/10. 🎉💃🕺

We had the pleasure of having DJ Monti as our Dj. He was hands down the best DJ!! Super helpful when creating our time line and exposing their wedding questioner. Day of the weddin...
g he showed up early got set up quickly and came over and spoke with again about our time line and made sure we were still on the same page. He got together with our other vendors also and made sure they were also on the same page. Once the wedding started he was great at getting peoples attention, and his introduction of the new Mr. And Mrs. Orellana was perfect. Once the dance floor opened up he had everyone either dancing on the dance floor or if they were too shy, he had them dancing at their chairs. Great job ! PS.. get the uplighting !! Thank you Monti !!

r of our wedding night. A true stand up guy, so professional, and truly cares about everyone having a wonderful time. He was incredibly organized which can be tough with an over 200 person wedding! The dance floor was packed the entire time, he matched our guests vibes perfectly. There is nothing I would’ve changed, I just wish it wasn’t over! Thank you from the bottoms of our hearts Monti, YOU ROCK!!

DJ Monti absolutely crushed our wedding. Leading up to the wedding, he had a meeting with us to go over everything and make sure that our wedding would run smoothly. On the wedding...
day, he arrived early and set up everything at both the ceremony space, the reception hall and took care of all of our uplighting. Everything looked great and the setup was so professional! Now for the fun stuff, DJ Monti kept that dance floor packed all night and had seamless transitions between songs that kept everyone entertained and dancing! We got SO many compliments from our guests about how good he was. He also made sure to check in with my husband and I throughout the night to make sure that we had everything we need and that we were staying on schedule without feeling rushed at all.
We could not recommend DJ Monti and Music Machine RI enough for future couples!

Monti was absolutely incredible from the start. He was so responsive, organized, and easy to work with-he made the whole process feel effortless. Every detail was handled with care...
, and I felt completely at ease knowing he had everything under control.
The energy he brought to our wedding was unmatched. He kept the dance floor packed all night and knew exactly how to read the room. Monti, I can’t thank you enough for being such a professional and such a genuinely great person. I’m already looking forward to working with you again-and I highly, highly recommend you to anyone looking for an unforgettable DJ experience!
