I can't recommend FCW enough! First of all, Caitlyn was so responsive and organized for my initial meeting and answered all of my questions timely. We had DJ Mike Espo for our wedding on 12/21 and he did such an amazing job!! We had a phone meeting a week before to go over what songs and overall vibe we wanted for our wedding and he absolutely nailed it. He was so professional and personable. The dance floor was packed all night! Thank you Mike and FCW!

We created the soundtrack to our day very early on; we knew what our wedding would sound like prior to knowing what it looked like. Being able to list what songs we wanted for each special moment was important to us; we were able to communicate this with the Coordinator and the DJ and they made it happen! We did have some hiccups with the online portal, but when we reached out, we were able to have a meeting to resolve the technical issues and come to a solution. DJ Mike Espo was personable and funny, and kept our guests dancing throughout the evening!

Highly recommend booking with First Class Weddings!!! We had an amazing experience working with Caitlyn to make sure all the details were finalized. We absolutely loved DJ Josh and our guests have raved about how good the music was and how fun the dance floor was all night long!!! We also booked cold sparklers (or inside fireworks as our guests have been referring to them) through FCW. These completely elevated the wedding and were so fun for our entrance, first dance, and last dance of the night!

Our experience with First Class Weddings was great! We worked with DJ Mike Pardi, who was the best person for our wedding!! We wanted upbeat and party vibes, and we got exactly that. We had numerous compliments on his work. He lets you give specifics on “must plays”, “do not plays”, etc. He was extremely easy to work with and clearly loves his job!

We loved First Class Weddings as a whole. When we first inquired, they did an amazing job listening to our wants and matching us up with 2 of their DJs. We interviewed both that were recommended and truthfully thought either one would be perfect. Ultimately we went with Mike Espo. He was incredibly professional, attentive, and kind. He had everything covered from our ceremony, to cocktail hour, to the reception. All of the music went off without a hitch, even when we asked for specific versions of songs. During our reception, he really paid attention to our playlists and added similar songs that kept our dance floor busy all night long. This company really knows what they’re doing and put a lot of care and effort into their work.

We had such a wonderful experience with everyone at First Class Weddings from Caitlyn in the office to our incredible DJ Mike Espo. From the beginning, Caitlyn is so easy to work with, super organized and helps guide you towards a DJ that will fit your personal wedding needs. We relayed that we wanted someone who wasn't going to be on the mic the whole night but still able to bring a good energy to the day. We ended up going with Mike Espo and could not have been happier. He was simply amazing. He is kind, down to earth and really does it for the love of weddings and bringing joy to the folks in the room. He listens to what you want and reacts accordingly to the people and energy at the event. He set everything up perfectly, gave us tips on using the mic for our ceremony, played all of our requests and even checked in multiple times to make sure he had things going the way we expected. We also added up lighting the week of the wedding and highly recommend it. Mike made the room glow for cocktail hour and created such a fun party scene throughout the night that went perfectly with his song selections. Literally he made our day so great all while staying behind the scenes. We had so many people rave about him and we cannot thank him and First Class weddings enough!!

We had the pleasure of working with Josh from First Class Weddings as the DJ for our wedding, and he was absolutely amazing! He’s professional, punctual, wicked friendly. He played all the bops and had the guests on their feet all night long. I spent most of the night on the dance floor and I never wanted it to end! Josh’s ability to keep the energy high all night long was truly impressive. I think my feet hurt for 3 days after lol. Thanks to him, our wedding was filled with unforgettable dance moves; lots of loud, out-of-tune singing (mostly by me); and memories of the most epic dance party that we will cherish for a lifetime. You cannot go wrong with Josh @ First Class Weddings. One million out of 10 stars.

My husband and I have always thought that a DJ can make or break a wedding reception, so we knew from the start we had to do our homework to pick the right one. We had phone consultations with 1 or 2 other DJs (I can’t even remember) - before having a call with Caitlyn Wiseman from First Class Weddings. She absolutely sold us on all of their available DJs and we ultimately chose Josh from watching footage of his work at other weddings. From the moment we chose FCW, we didn’t have a single stressful thought about the music or the MCing. Josh was exciting and professional, and it is very clear how experienced he is. We picked out a handful of songs for the pre-ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception music, and Josh did his thing based on the vibe we gave him with those few choices. Josh was SPOT ON. Our guests raved about him all night and we’ve continued to hear the same since our wedding has ended. While we didn’t get to hear the pre-ceremony or cocktail hour music as bride and groom, we know it was incredible based on what our guests have said! We keep getting questions about the song choices and playlists for the day as if we had picked every song ourselves. He really got us and our guests took note that each song seemed perfectly curated for us. He worked hand in hand with Haylea from Owl’s Nest to make sure the ceremony and reception ran perfectly, keeping track of the timeline and making sure everyone was having a great time. We can’t say enough great things about Josh and Caitlyn!!

DJ Mark MacTaggart was AMAZING! We got so many compliments on our DJ throughout the night. He doesn’t talk over the mic a ton, instead he lets his music bring everyone to the dance floor. He came to find me a couple times to give me a heads up on timing or ask about a request someone had to see if I was ok with him doing it which is really appreciated. He is overall just so chill and we are beyond happy he was our DJ!

We used DJ Mike Pardi from First Class Weddings for our wedding in October and it was one of the best decisions we made! We had a few calls with Mike before our wedding and he was so professional and we could tell he was very experienced. We told him we would have representation from multiple different generations at our wedding and wanted everyone to be up on the dance floor all night. We got exactly what we asked for and more! We are still getting comments about how great our DJ/the music was and had a few of our engaged friends inquire about hiring him. Not only was the music right on par with our taste, Mike was an awesome presence to have and helped get the party starte/keep it going all night. He is the guy if you’re looking for a packed dance floor and seamless process!

Josh was beyond excellent! As a dance teacher, music is of the upmost importance to me and Josh went above and beyond our expectations along with all of our guests. Some of our guests are not the type to dance at weddings and they were out on the dance floor all night. Not only was Josh amazing the night of but the entire planning process with him was perfection. We are so grateful to have had the opportunity to have Josh be such a big part of our big day and HIGHLY recommend him to ALL!!!!

We worked with First Class Weddings for DJ and uplighting services and can't recommend them enough. Caitlyn was our main point of contact and was extremely responsive and helpful in assisting us in determining which services we needed. The uplighting contact that attended our wedding checked in with us and stayed for most of the event to make sure that everything looked great.
Mark was a better DJ than we could have ever anticipated and we're so grateful we found him. He was punctual, worked seamlessly with our wedding coordinator and the other vendors, and played the best music. He was very good at reading the crowd and the dance floor was packed all night. Mark was great at pivoting when there were a few last minute changes! We can't recommend DJ Mark enough.

We absolutely loved working with First Class Weddings and our DJ Mark MacTaggart. Booking and planning with Caitlyn was so easy and stress-free and she helped recommend Mark as a good fit for us (and she was so right!). He "let the music do the talking" and kept everyone on the dance floor literally all night long. Mark was not just an talented DJ, but he was so much help on our big day. He really went above and beyond by meeting up with our friend who was officiating to help him with cues and give him some tips. He checked in with us throughout the night to make sure we were happy and had some great ideas based on what everyone was loving out on the dance floor. Some of our best memories from the night were Mark's spur of the moment ideas! We cannot recommend him enough!

DJ Mike Pardi is the best!! We are so grateful to have had him at our wedding. Mike called us the week of our wedding to go through final details and get the vibe we were going for and he nailed it. Our dance floor was packed all night. He totally understood what we had envisioned for our wedding day and he was able to incorporate a good amount of Italian music we wanted to have a part of our wedding day. Mike was an absolute blast and knows how to get a party started easily 10/10 best DJ!

FCW (and DJ Mark MacTaggart) were a key part of our wedding day. They are so efficient and organized, which makes the planning process easier. Their website hub is such a helpful tool. We got so many compliments on our DJ (and our photo booth/uplighting!) and one of the best quotes of the night was "I need to sit down and rest but he won't stop playing bangers!" -- we couldn't be happier!

Mike Pardi is the best! We had pretty specific requests for our procession (we wanted an instrumental song to flow into a version of the song with lyrics) and Mike had no problem making this happen for us. There wasn't a dry eye in the room! Most importantly- the dance floor at our wedding was packed all night long thanks to Mike! We had requested songs that everyone would know so that our older relatives and younger friends alike would want to be on the dance floor and that is EXACTLY what Mike did. People could not stop telling us how phenomenal they thought he was. He really made the whole day so special and enjoyable for us and our guests! Our DJ selection was really important to us and we thought our money was really well spent by going with Mike from FCW.

Working with First Class Weddings was a dream!! From day one, the communication and responsiveness were top-notch. Caitlyn was professional, helpful, and super friendly. She answered every email and question so quickly and made sure everything was organized and ready to go. We booked DJ Josh and he had the dance floor packed the entire night!! During our planning phone call, he took the time to go through every detail with us and made us feel comfortable to ensure our vision would come to life. So many of our guests complimented how amazing he was! If you're looking into booking FCW, do it!! You won't be disappointed!

We worked with First Class Weddings for DJ and uplighting services for our wedding on August 26, 2023. Our day was an absolute dream and more perfect than we could have ever imagined. We had a wonderful experience with the entire team from start to finish - from our initial conversations with Caitlyn and Josh through our wedding day. Josh worked with us to determine which DJ would be the best match to the experience that we were looking for, and paired us up with Mark MacTaggart. It was important to us that the music selection at the wedding represented us but also kept the crowd alive… which can be a hard balance sometimes! Mark absolutely nailed it - he was so communicative with us leading up to the wedding, understanding of our wishes, and truly kept the party bumping all night long. He was responsive to the crowd and made it his primary goal that everyone was having a good time. We got so many compliments on the music & dance floor atmosphere. We were told several times by our wedding party and guests that it was the best wedding music set they had ever heard and that they hadn’t sat down in over three hours! Thank you Mark, you made our wedding so special and a day we will truly remember forever! If you’re looking for this type of experience, Mark should be your DJ!

FCW and DJ Mike Pardi were awesome to work with for our wedding. Coordinating with the team until the day of was a great experience. They said DJ Mike Pardi was the ultimate hype man and they weren't wrong! He brought the energy to the wedding and truly made the night unforgettable from having the guests wave their napkins in the air to bringing my husband and I behind the DJ booth! He gave great advice on songs and was invested in knowing our music genres to ensure the it was exactly what we wanted. I highly recommend working with FCW and Mike Pardi!

We got married on 7/7/23 at Harrington Farm in Princeton. I highly relied on reviews before booking vendors. From the beginning, Caitlyn was extremely responsive. Her and the team made the process so much easier than I could have imagined. She suggested a DJ based on what we were looking for. We used DJ Mark MacTaggart and he was amazing! My husband had been deployed right up until 2 weeks before our wedding, which was stressful enough but Caitlyn and Mark were about to help us out with the online portal and give us a little extra time to complete it. I had been so worried about the music and had felt like we didn’t have enough songs in mind. In our meeting with Mark, we told him what we liked and gave a few songs in different genres and what we knew we didn’t want. We also had Mark do the ceremony music. We weren’t sure on how long the music would need to be but he assured us he could figured it out in the moment, and he did! The music flowed beautifully. We had so many compliments after the wedding and the dance floor was always packed! Mark played a little bit of everything and as the night went on he would change things up based on the current energy of the guests. Mark was extremely professional and personable. If you’re even questioning booking first class for a DJ, this is your sign to just do it. You will not regret it!

He was professional and so easy to work with. He made our day everything we dreamed of and more. The amount of compliments we received from our guests on how much fun they had was insane.

I cannot say enough about DJ Mike Esposito! He got to know us before the wedding and we could immediately tell we made the right choice for our big day. Mike ensure all logistics for our ceremony ran smoothly and understood how important it was to us to get everyone on the dance floor as soon as we could! We have had countless people reach out to share how amazing Mike was and how hard it was to leave the dance floor as he played hit after hit. Mikes passion for his work is evident in how he carries himself, but also in how invested he is for your big day. I would choose First Class Weddings and DJ Mike Espo time and time again!

Caitlyn was so helpful throughout the planning process and incredibly patient with all of my questions! We hired DJ Mike Esposito for our wedding and he was absolutely amazing! He played all of our must-play songs and nailed the vibe of the whole day. All of our guests raved about how good he was, he took the time to get to know us before our wedding day to make sure everything was perfect, and he even went above and beyond during our reception to make sure my husband and I got to eat our dinner and enjoy our party after some things went wrong at the venue. I recommend First Class Weddings and DJ Mike Esposito without hesitation! Thank you for helping to make our day perfect!

This is your sign to book First Class Weddings with Mike Pardi. 10/10 would book him over and over and over again!! We had the best night of our lives! We could not have imagined a better DJ for us! I’m a “go-with-the-flow” type of person and we put all the trust in Mike—his passion for music is obvious! The way he read the room and executed the music was perfect! The amount of compliments we have received— “that DJ was the best” “ what is that DJs name, he was awesome!” “ we couldn’t stop dancing!” Just when we thought we could take a little time to chat with our guests—the next best song was played and it kept going till the lights came on! Outstanding! We can’t thank you enough Mike!

The dance floor was packed the entire night and he played a wide variety of music to keep everyone engaged. Mike was incredibly prepared for the event, he was professional and provided the perfect amount of enthusiasm and class to MC the entire event! Caitlyn, was also incredible in helping us plan our event and the online portal was super helpful in keeping it all organized. We have received SO many compliments from all of our guests about how great of a job DJ Mike did and how great the atmosphere was. A DJ has the ability to really impact the evening and we couldn't be happier with DJ Mike. Would hire again, every time!

First Class Weddings is amazing to work with!! After browsing on their website and reading some reviews, I knew I had to book FCW for my wedding. Caitlyn (the coordinator) is so sweet and easy to talk to. She is also very professional and organized. Any time I sent her an email with a question, she would respond back so quickly. We had Josh Wiseman (the president) as our DJ and wow he was amazing! Just by talking to him on the phone during our meeting, I knew he was going to be the real deal. He knew exactly what songs to play at all the right times and played a perfect mix of oldies and newer songs. He had everyone on the dance floor before we even ate dinner. My guests are still talking about how awesome Josh was and how much fun they had. We literally were on the dance floor all night. If you want to have a great time and party all night, look no further than Josh!! You won't be disappointed!!

Working with their team was so easy and our DJ Mike made sure that all speeches and dances went smoothly during the night. He took in my requests while also throwing in some classics to keep the dance floor full all night long. I also recommend using their uplighting service, it helped set the vibe for the entire night!

We booked first class DJ for our wedding in Sept. 2022 with Mike Pardi. He is absolutely incredible! and very professional to work with. His energy is fun, welcoming and he definitely knows how to keep a celebration going. We can confidently say once the dancing started, no one stopped! We have been told by most of our guests, which it was a big wedding, that our wedding was unforgettable especially when it came to the entertainment, music, dancing, and dialogue. Mike was wonderful to work with and first class dj made our planning as smooth as it could've been. Thank you all so much for making our wedding memorable!

Josh Wiseman and First Class Weddings were a joy to work with! Josh’s wife, Caitlyn, coordinated the booking process and helped us find the best fit – Josh was exactly what we were envisioning in a host to guide our guest through the evening’s formalities and then just absolutely kill it on the dance floor! Josh’s style was so effortlessly cool, high energy but in an understated way, and he let his skill at reading the room and enhancing the vibes guide the night flawlessly!
First Class Weddings also did the uplighting for our event. We were going for a very classic look, and at first I wasn’t sure if uplighting would compete with that goal, but he and his team used “candlelight” colors to elegantly highlight the architecture of the elegant Omni Parker House ballroom which was very festive and harmonious with all of their holiday decorations. Then he transitioned to a bit more color at the end of the evening to match the energy of the crowd – it was very, very well done.
After intros and our first dance, he invited guests onto the floor to help us finish our slow waltz of a first dance (at our prior request!) which they did and then he brought in some great high energy songs to formally open the dancefloor at that point! People were dancing in between food courses – they were absolutely itching to dance to Josh’s mix. We gave him a wide ranging request list from disco to classic rock to current hits, and he knew just when to play all of our favorites! He also has some great remixes deployed towards the end of the night that the crowd absolutely loved.
The night went by so fast, and our guests danced all night to the very end – what more could you ask for?! We are so, so grateful to Josh, Caitlyn, and the team at First Class Weddings for making our wedding so fun and memorable for us and our guests.

First Class Weddings was great to work with! They were responsive, helpful, and provided us with the most amazing DJ who made our wedding such a blast. Something came up with our original DJ and FCW had a backup ready to go before they even contacted us - they made the transition incredibly smooth and non-stressful for us.
Andres was AMAZING! Everyone at our wedding was dancing the whole time, he brought such an incredible energy and played songs that everyone could get into. The dance floor was full the entire time. We got so many comments on how great of a DJ we had. Prior to the wedding, Andres was super communicative and helpful. We would definitely recommend DJ Dres no question!

We had a great experience with First Class Weddings for DJ services!! It was super easy working with them from the start with quick responses etc due to their coordinator Caitlyn! She always came across as friendly (which is great by email) and I never had to feel weird about reaching out with a quick question! DJ Mark was wonderful! My husband and I are more low key and had interviewed DJs where we just felt overwhelmed or like it was too much. We think Mark was the perfect fit for our personalities! He made a point to briefly check in a couple times through the night which I wouldn’t have thought of but definitely appreciated!

If you want someone who is professional and will work with you to make your reception a dream come true, definitely choose Mark with First Class Weddings!

We used First Class Weddings as our DJ service for our wedding in Topsfield, MA and we could not recommend them enough! Not only were they responsive and easy to work with throughout the planning process, but DJ Kenny Powers really made our night fun and kept the guests on the dance floor for hours! The DJ forms were easy to complete and detailed, which only helped make our vision and vibe for the wedding reception a reality. DJ Kenny was so awesome in understanding what kind of music we did (and didn’t) want played, but also easily matched the energy of our guests as the night went on and adjusted accordingly. We appreciated that there wasn’t an overplay of just one genre and each portion of the night felt unique and special. He hit all of our requested songs and made sure they flowed flawlessly, which is something we’ve noticed doesn’t always happen when being a wedding guest. Highly recommend their services and DJ Kenny Powers for your next event!!!

We had met with a couple DJ’s who were certainly knowledgeable but we felt like we were going to have to fit their timeline and process. We had a call with FCW and discussed our desires and Caitlyn said, “You definitely want to work with Mark MacTaggart. He’d be perfect for you.” And he was!
Mark made us feel comfortable from the first call. He knows music and stressed that his job was to make the day great for us. FCW has an awesome music portal that allowed us to put in our timeline, music requests, and must play/do not play songs. We met with Mark shortly before the wedding and he went through everything - even playing songs we requested for different portions of the evening to make sure he had the right song or the perfect start/end times.
He was so personable, coming over at various points to check in on how we were doing and we even discovered a shared love of Disney! He had an excellent read on our guests and was able to adjust the playlist accordingly. Everyone from our 8-year old niece to our 90-year old uncle spent time on the dance floor. He curated the perfect dance party for special day. We highly recommend you book FCW and Mark if you are planning an event!

We had DJ Mike Pardi as our DJ for our wedding in June, and we didn't want the party (Pardi?) to end!!! He was so awesome and his energy was through the roof. Our friends and family were on the dance floor all night! My husband is Nigerian, so we did have a Nigerian part of the reception and he killed the music playlist finding all the songs my husband and his family requested. First Class Weddings was super responsive and it definitely helped having their portal and planning sheet. Would definitely recommend booking through them, and if you're lucky enough to get Mike, it will be the best & most fun day ever! Thank you again FCW & Mike Pardi!!

Where do I even begin? Mike Esposito, the man, the myth, the absolute legend had our guests on the dance floor from start to finish. His personality & demeanor was the absolute best, to say we were taken care of is an understatement. Mike was in constant communication with us when it came to the timeline of the night and like I said, every single person was on that dance floor. We were looking at our wedding photos and everyone had the biggest smile on their face. We additionally had Mike play music for our ceremony and everything was perfectly timed. Also, we hired FCW for uplighting and Bobby did a fantastic job with setting the mood. I also want to mention working with Caitlyn. She is one of the sweetest people I have every worked with. If I had a question, she would respond in no time. She was able to tweak our contract if we needed to add anything, I felt so comfortable working with everyone here. Absolutely 100% recommend First Class Weddings.

We had such an awesome experience with FCW. From our initial meeting with Caitlyn, we loved that she shared her honest opinions and wasn't sales-y or pushy at all. She really listened to our requests and matched us up with Mark MacTaggart, who absolutely exceeded our expectations as a DJ. I really can't imagine having an experience better than the one we had with Mark. He was SO kind and attentive during our consultation, and as for the wedding day, wow - where do I begin! The music was a perfect blend of both my and my fiance's music tastes, along with the classic dance floor tunes, all played at the perfect moments. The dance floor was truly filled the WHOLE time, and something extra special was that Mark approached us a couple of times to check in/let us know what songs were coming up next. That kind of experience was so relieving on such a jam-packed and whirlwind of a day and we are so grateful. Mark is very talented at what he does and we can't thank him and First Class Weddings enough. Honestly - we are both hoping we get to attend a wedding soon where he is Djing because we know it will be a blast :)

I am so thankful I booked FCW after reading so many DJ horror stories. Caitlyn was so helpful and professional throughout the entire process, setting me up with the DJ who best suited my style. She was great with communicating the process and keeping in touch so I knew what was going on. My DJ, Kenny Powers, was awesome. Our dance floor was packed the entire night, he interacted with guests and everyone had a blast. He was very thorough with me before the wedding. We walked through the DJ portal form I submitted in a high level of detail. My first dance mash up song I had emailed Kenny stopped working an hour before the wedding (not Kenny’s fault). Thankfully, Kenny had been testing the music clip at regular intervals and caught it in plenty of time. Highly recommend this company!!!

DJ MIKE PARDI was our wedding DJ and he was absolutely phenomenal. Every guest we had, which was around 170 people said that was by far the best wedding they had ever been to. MIKE PARDI had everyone up out of their seats the entire night, dancing, hyping up me and Steve (my husband) and just having the best time of their life. We used the cold sparklers and CO2 gun as well which were the perfect additions to the evening. People are asking me for our DJ’s info because they were like we need him to work our weddings or other events. I seriously cannot recommend MIKE PARDI enough and if I could give him 10 stars I would without hesitation. Thank you for making my wedding the best night of my life!

We can't say enough about Mark MacTaggart. Within just a few minutes of speaking with Mark on the phone, we knew that we had found the perfect person for our wedding. First off, and most importantly, Mark was a great DJ and kept the whole wedding engaged and on the dance floor the entire night. He read the crowd, which was a large mix of both a younger crowd in their late 20s as well as many in their 50s and 60s, and was able to keep both groups entertained with nothing but great feedback from everyone. He was also very flexible and accommodating, even adding a 15 minute Greek music and dancing to the night, which was very special to us. My husband and I found that time escaped us throughout our wedding and we were lucky Mark was there to keep us on schedule despite multiple delays. He is incredibly experienced, friendly, caring, and very hard working. If you're looking for a DJ for any event where you want to keep your friends and family on the dance floor, then there isn't a better option out there than Mark. He added to our night as more than just a DJ, and our wedding would not have been the same without him.

DJ Mike Pardi was amazing! We watched his intro video and right away we knew we wanted Mike to be our DJ because of his contagious high energy and fun personality. We selected songs using the portal which was fun and easy. Mike used all the songs that we requested and did a fantastic job reading the crowd and kept everyone on the dance floor! Overall Mike was truly fantastic and we can't thank him enough for a wonderful wedding reception that we will always remember!

Hands-down, Mike Pardi was the best decision my husband and I made in terms of our wedding. We got married on October 8, 2021, and yes it was the best day of our lives for so many reasons, but DJ Mike Pardi from FCW put it OVER THE TOP. We attended a wedding three years ago where he was the DJ, and we knew from that moment on we needed him for ours when we got married. Mike is an expert at reading the dance floor. We told him we were a high-energy group, and that we wanted music that would keep people of our age (late 20’s and early 30’s) on the dance floor. When we spoke to him on the phone the week of the wedding, he could tell we were a group that liked to party, and that’s when he brought up the Co2 gun that he offered for weddings. It was an immediate yes from us. There is nothing like being the bride and getting to spray your guests with Co2 as they are dancing. It’s three months since our wedding, and we still have people telling us our dance floor was one of the best they’ve experienced. Our dance floor was full the entire time and every single song was perfect. Mike also was enthusiastic when announcing us and our wedding party, and he made everyone want to get up out of their seats. If Mike Pardi is available for your wedding, book him immediately. You won’t regret it. P.S You also have an online portal you can add all of the songs you like to once you book with FCW. They are super organized and make the whole process easy! Keeping track of songs you like throughout the planning process makes that final call super productive!

First Class Weddings was awesome to work with. Caitlyn helped us so much in the booking and preparation process. We had DJ Kenny Powers for our wedding and he was incredible. We wanted everyone on the dance floor for the entire night and he made that happen! He was a ton of fun and we couldn't be happier with how everything went.

First Class Weddings was amazing to work with! We booked our DJ (Mike Pardi) our videographer (Stephen Cwiok) and our uplighting (Bobby) through them and Caitlyn was such a huge help organizing everything and communicating with us every step of the way.
Mike absolutely got the party started and kept the party going!!! Our guests didn’t sit down the entire night and they are all still talking about how much fun it was and how great all of the music was. He did an amazing job mixing in something for everyone to keep all of the guests on the dance floor. He even suggested cold sparklers for our entrance last minute and I’m so glad we took his advice! It was a perfect addition to our night.
Stephen was amazing to work with as well! He had worked with our photographer before so it made things really easy during all of the photos. We did our first look and then went into the forest for pictures before our ceremony and Stephen hiked right in with us! Laying on the ground to get the perfect footage!
We really can’t say enough about how amazing these guys were! Such an awesome addition to our day which allowed us to relax and just have fun! Thank you so much!!!

Josh DJed my sisters wedding a few years ago and killed it so I knew I wanted him for my wedding as well. Sure enough, he had people on the dancefloor all night long. Him and Caitlyn were amazing to work with and were so helpful through the entire process. We can’t recommend them enough!

DJ Mark MacTaggart is the best! He is professional, knowledgable about music, and understood exactly what we were looking for when it came to song selection. Our dance floor was packed all night, the transitions were seamless, and the music catered to guests of all ages. We wish we could go to another wedding DJ-ed by Mark — the music was that good. We highly recommend him and FCW for any of your events!

First Class Weddings was phenomenal! We spoke with Caitlyn over the phone and after getting to know us and what we were looking for she recommended DJ Mike Pardi for our wedding. After speaking with him, we understood why he was the perfect fit for us! He knew exactly the atmosphere we were looking to create during all parts of our reception. He also knew how to mix American and Spanish music effortlessly to accommodate both of our families. He made the transition from dinner to dancing seamless with his special centerpiece giveaway that had everyone on the dance floor right from the start and was a huge hit! He started off with oldies and classics to appease the older crowd but then proceeded to ramp up the party with Pitbull and club music as the drinks started flowing and as the older folks headed out. He was a master at reading the room and keeping people on the dance floor. He even managed to work in a crazy family favorite song that had everyone going wild. The next morning at brunch everyone was talking about our DJ and asking how we found him! We would recommend DJ Mike Pardi to anyone who wants an unforgettable reception!
