We used Fred Pappalardo DJ’s for our wedding this past weekend, and Dave was excellent! He was on top of everything, was very organized with our select playlists, and kept everyone dancing all night long! We highly recommend Dave!
We used Fred for our wedding and he made the process so easy! He had a very simple worksheet to fill out and understood exactly what we wanted. It was so refreshing! Fred ended up having an emergency and had someone else fill in- but Fred made ...
sure he was prepared and he absolutely nailed it! The dance floor was hopping from the very first song to the very last. We had some really fun group dances and the energy was amazing the entire night! As the Bride I didn’t have to think about a thing and just enjoyed an amazing night of entertainment and I can’t put a dollar amount on that priceless experience. Fred’s expertise helped make it the best day ever!
DJ Fred was the perfect DJ for our wedding day! He is an absolute PRO and absolutely knows what he is doing. He was great to communicate with leading up to the day. And on our wedding day, he was amazing. He reads the crowd and our dance floor ...
was PACKED all night long!
Any questions?
We cannot say enough good about DJ Dave! We interviewed several people when thinking about booking a DJ because they play such an important role at your wedding! We knew we wanted to throw a big party and we are so grateful we trusted Dave to h...
elp us! He was so knowledgeable and put us at ease as the wedding approached. The day of the wedding he executed everything to perfection. He found the perfect balance of songs to get every person up on the dance floor all night long. We are so thankful we decided to go with DJ Dave. 10/10 would recommend him for your day. He is truly the BEST!
Fred Pappalardo absolutely nailed being our DJ. He was FANTASTIC from start to finish. I wanted really specific versions of songs and he pulled through and made my entire Wishlist come true. During our reception, the dance floor was never em...
pty. He had a perfect mix of current and throwback songs, which truly made the night amazing. Fred was easy to communicate with and I felt like he truly listened to everything we wanted!
DJ Fred was such a joy to work with! He worked with my husband and I to curate a fun, poppin playlist that included our favorites, but also mixed in solid bangers Fred knew would keep the party alive. He was also great at letting us know "ehhhh...
maybe not this song it kinda slows down" hahah. Really appreciated how DJ Fred kept the music flowing throughout the entire evening! From cocktail hour, to intros, through dinner, all the way to the end of the night. Everyone had an absolute blast, and there's a reason why DJ Fred comes highly recommended throughout the New England area!
Fred was amazing! We hired him for our wedding and he was so great and easy to work with! He got everyone out on the dance floor and kept them there all night!
James McNally (with Fred Pappalardo DJ’s) was amazing! He made everything run beyond smoothly — from our ceremony, to our cocktail hour, throughout the reception… Everything was stress-free. He honored every request we made, had us dancing all ...
night, and was so easy and great to work with.
Fred was so amazing from the beginning. He helped my husband and I figure out what songs we wanted to choose for the ceremony (walking down the aisle, walking back up) all the way to the reception and the end of the night. He was so easy to wor...
k with and our family and friends had the best night! They still can’t stop talking about it even one year later. The dance floor was grooving all night and had everyone of all ages dancing and having a blast!
One of my good friends recently used Fred for her wedding as well and again, everything was amazing! From the ceremony all the way to the end of the night.
Fred really knows what he’s doing and knows the different type of music people like. I didn’t have to worry about whether or not people would be dancing.
Definitely use Fred for all of your DJ needs! He was fabulous! Thank you Fred!!!!
James McNally was the perfect DJ for our wedding! James was incredibly helpful and so pleasant to work with while planning and on the day of our wedding. He did an incredible job with both our ceremony and reception. We highly recommend James –...
we couldn’t have asked for a better DJ!
Fred may have been one of my favorite vendors. When we met a Fred at the tasting, my husband was a little concerned that he wasn’t a “young hip DJ”. When I tell you Fred was amazing I can’t say it enough. He was great with the ceremony music, h...
e was great with announcing our party he even made sure everyone’s names were correct and we had some tough ones. He was funny and interactive when the time called for it and he really kept the party going with the right music and he played all of our requests and the lighting was great and it was just an overall great party and I think Fred had a lot to do with that.
One of the most important parts of our wedding day was our reception. We had said for years our wedding would be a dance party, and Clark did an amazing job keeping everyone out on the dance floor! The dance floor was packed all night with all ...
ages participating, and my heart was so full! He did a great job using the songs that I requested for all of the important moments, as well as additional songs I had asked for throughout cocktail hour, dinner, and the reception. We had our wedding at the Dockside, which is where Clark has done many weddings. Since the ceremony and cocktail hour are outside and reception is indoors, we definitely felt at ease knowing we had a DJ that had worked the venue before and knew all the right equipment and set up for the venue. If you are getting married at the Dockside, we highly recommend Clark!
Clark was our wedding DJ, and overall a friendly and easy going vendor to work with. He took care to make sure names were pronounced correctly, and overall the music selection was great. My guests were dancing all night! The only criticism we h...
ave is about the songs we chose for big moments: he played the wrong song for our recessional (my husband picked out the song, so he was pretty disappointed), and for our entrance song, he played the song of our choice but there was another song playing in addition to that at the same time. There were also a few times throughout the evening when the music would stop for a few seconds.
We were lucky enough to have Dave as our DJ for our wedding this past Friday. I do not have enough good things to say about him. He was extremely professional, organized, covered all of his bases, and was on top of everything, which made everyt...
hing much easier for me. I have had so many guests come up to me in the last few days raving about the incredible song choices he had and how he was able to keep the dance floor packed the entire reception. i could not be happier to have him as our DJ!
Dave did a wonderful job at our wedding and was very easy to work with! Pre-wedding interactions were organized and efficient and made for smooth planning. Dave's experience with receptions and helpful recommendations took a lot of the weight o...
f planning off of us. He was able to curate an excellent playlist based off only a few songs we wanted to include. Dave did a great job reading the crowd and the dance floor was packed all night!
Fred is incredible. He was able to read the room and our guests to make music choices that kept the party alive. Not only that, he did an amazing job with pronouncing our entire bridal party's names (not an easy feat with the volume of people a...
nd the trickiness of their names). He was a huge part of our A-Team to making our night truly memorable.
DJ Dave made our night so fun! Personable, reliable and entertaining! He helped personalize our entrance with dubbing a voiceover, made our night perfect!
Dave worked well with our other vendors to make the ceremony and reception seamless and s...

If you are looking for your wedding DJ, you have to book Dave!
Our DJ Dave was absolutely amazing! Words cannot describe the friendliness, thoughtfulness, attention to detail, and overall knowledge he has. He made this overwhelmed bride truly at ease!!! He did everything and more that we asked of him. ...
The equipment was top notch and the music selection (I left all songs except for the specific dances up to him) was fantastic. I don’t think there was a person in the room not dancing. All of our goals of the night far exceeded expectations! I would recommend him to everyone!!!
Fred is THE MAN! Great sense of humor and our wedding night went off without a hitch. Fred made sure to get all the details right, even double checking with us to make sure he had all requests and names in order. He matched our vision exactly a...

DJ James did a great job at our wedding, He was so professional and organized. Our ceremony and reception were perfect and our guests had a great time. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a DJ .
Fred was our DJ for our wedding on 2/20/22 and he was wonderful!! Our guests even made comments about how friendly he was and how flawless everything went. He was extremely easy to work with leading up to the wedding and answered any questions ...
I had. He helped with song selections when I was struggling with them and made our day feel so special! He was so great will all the kids in attendance and kept our small group (40 people) pumped up and ready to have a great time! Would recommend him over and over again!
DJ Fred is the absolute best!! We knew of him prior to our own wedding because he played at 2 of our friends weddings and everyone loved him! We were so happy that he was on the preferred list at our venue in Berwick, Maine and that everyone th...
ere loved him too. We enjoyed speaking with him since day 1 as he is friendly/personable, professional and even gave us suggestions what people have done in the past for music introductions and what not. We had to postpone our wedding once with COVID and he was there every step of the way. He played a variety of different music for all types and no one wanted to leave the dance floor! We highly recommend Fred for any wedding event! 10/10
Fred was super easy going. Unfortunately due to circumstances beyond his control, he was unable to DJ for our wedding but when he contacted us he had already set us up with someone he trusts, who also did an amazing job. Would highly recommend ...
Fred!!!
Our wedding was absolutely perfect in every way and a large part of that was because of DJ Fred. He was extremely easy to work with! We postponed our wedding reception multiple times due to covid and he was so accommodating. He was very profess...
ional with all of our meetings before the event. He played the best music that everyone would want to dance to. We had almost everyone at our wedding reception up and dancing the entire night, which I honestly have never seen before at a wedding. If anyone is looking for a wedding DJ, I highly highly recommend DJ Fred!
Clark was so easy and nice to work with. I recommend going with a DJ who has worked at your venue before. I didn't worry at all since Clark has done so many weddings at the Dockside. He did an awesome job and highly recommend him for your bre...
ad and butter of a classic wedding DJ. Thanks Clark!
Would 10/10 recommend. I had planned a small 55 person wedding from out of state. I was worried about having a difficult time keeping guests on the dance floor with such a small wedding. Fred did an AMAZING job. There was no shortage of that. W...

Fred was amazing!!! I had multiple people come up to me during the night to say how fantastic the music was. The dance floor was packed and every song was better than the next. He played to the crowd and it was so memorable just seeing all of o...

Fred did an amazing job at our wedding! The dance floor was packed all night. He was so professional and accommodating and helped guide us through the whole process. He was also so helpful with postponing due to COVID. We can't have pictured up...
a better DJ - make sure you hire Fred!
Fred did an AMAZING job as the DJ at our wedding. Having worked weddings and functions in the Southern Maine area I have seen Fred work from behind the scenes and knew I had to book him for my own wedding. He plays exactly what you want with ex...
cellent sound quality. Very organized and thorough as well! Would absolutely hire him again and recommend all of our friends to do the same.
Fred was awesome at my wedding! He kept people on the dance floor all night and was great to work with! He was organized when meeting before the wedding and had great suggestions for music that we hadn’t decided on yet!
DJ Fred did an incredible job with the music for our wedding! There wasn't a moment from when our wedding reception began until it ended that the dance floor was empty! He played a variety of music that pleased all of our wedding guests. Fred's...
professionalism and expertise allowed for the reception to go smoothly! I wouldn't have any other DJ for an event!
Look no further than Fred & Dave for your DJ needs. We worked with Dave & from beginning to end he was great. Very pleasant & organized . He perfectly transitioned our ceremony music (lots of comments from guests about how nice it was) & kep...

Fred was incredible! He is so easy to work with and helped make our day so very special. He knew exactly what to play and when to play it to ensure everyone was having the GREATEST time. He is very detail oriented and made sure he had everythin...
g exactly right for announcements. I couldn't have asked for a better DJ. His photo booth services are a must! Such a nice touch.
Fred did an amazing job as our wedding DJ! He was great to work with and did a great job also as the MC for the night. He was able to get ALL ages on the dance floor too!
Fred came highly recommended as a DJ who could meet our unique needs. My husband has a prior head injury leaving him very sensitive to noise and flashing lights. Fred quickly put us at ease during our first meeting by assuring us he would tailo...
r his services to meet our specific circumstances and preferences. Fred worked closely with us on the details of providing music for our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception along with emceeing our reception. My father is a violinist. Fred was more than willing and able to incorporate music of my father playing violin into our ceremony. He included detail pieces with special meaning to us and our favorite songs. We were among many who had to postpone our ceremony & reception due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Fred was flexible, understanding and straight forward with us in regard to what to expect. Fred also became an advisor as we made decisions about postponing our event. He made honest recommendations and spoke from a wealth of experience. We highly recommend Fred as the DJ who will make your event unique to your needs and a night you will not forget.
If you are looking for a fun DJ for your wedding, look no further. James McNally with Fred Pappalardo DJs was AMAZING! He not only took the time to get to know us and our music preferences beforehand but he had some awesome suggestions. I liter...
ally couldn't leave the dance floor, that's how much fun it was. We had some special requests and he nailed all of them. His energy and transitions kept the party going all night. I wish we could have James DJ for us every weekend!! HIGHLY RECCOMEND!
James was so flexible and friendly! He ensured every part of our reception- and even the last portion of cocktail hour- went perfectly! He is so sweet and even ensures the bride gets all the desired music played! He is amazing with requests. Th...
ank you so much James!
We used Dave Smith for our small, September 3rd 2020 wedding and he was incredible! We wanted someone who could manage the flow of the day without being overly intrusive and Dave really nailed it! Our ceremony was at Nonantum in Kennebunkport ...
and he had an extensive working relationship with the wonderful team there
so we really didn’t need to do much to prepare. Dave worked incredibly well with all of our other vendors to make sure our wedding was orchestrated perfectly! Our reception was at Pearl, and Dave was the perfect MC for our small and intimate reception. He even sang the song for our first dance!
Fred was absolutely the best. Complete professional with a great sense of humor. Everyone had such a great time - our wedding day was unforgettable. We would highly recommend Fred and his company.
James was super easy to work with and did an amazing job the whole day! We had him begin with our ceremony straight through cocktail hour and then the reception. There was no lag at all, the music just flowed the whole time. We chatted with him...
about what we liked and what we didn’t like and he nailed all of the song choices. We were nervous people wouldn’t want to dance because of COVID but everyone was having a blast! We strongly recommend!
We had a fantastic experience with Fred. He went out of his way to make my requests possible and had everyone dancing all night. So many people told me how much they loved the Dj after the wedding!
We hired DJ Clark through Fred Pappalardo Disc Jockeys & he was so incredible! He did our music for the ceremony & reception. He met with us ahead of time to go through all of our music requests & he fulfilled all of them! We got so many compli...
ments from our guests with how great the music was. We wanted a good range of music from the 80s, 90s, 2000s & current hits which he accomplished. I'd highly recommend him to anyone!
During COVID 2020 unfortunately was when my now Husband and I were scheduled to get married and that made things challenging for all couples, venues, and vendors...DJ Fred was the DJ for our reception and his DJ, Dave Hawkins, DJed our ceremony...
and they both were phenomenal! They were so nice, flexible, and understanding throughout everything! They played all of the songs we wanted and made our day SO Special during this difficult time! Everyone just needed a party/celebration of something happy and DJ Fred definitely gave us that! I would highly recommend Fred Pappalardo’s Disc Jockeys to anyone looking to have an amazing time and great music for an event!
We had Clark Sillery as our DJ for our small, intimate adult wedding reception at Cape Neddick Lobster Pound. Clark met with us personally after he received our request sheet to get a better feel for who we were and what we were requesting. H...
e was able honor our ecclectic music taste and played everything from the classics to our alt rock preferences. He adjusted the volume of his sound system appropriately throughout the reception and also honored our guests requests. We highly recommend Clark for a wonderful wedding music experience. Paula & Darryl Hunt 7/27/19
Fred is a true professional! He was easy to work with and accommodated all of the requests we asked of him. Highly recommend! We all had a great time!
Fred Pappalardo was an amazing DJ! From the moment we met with him, a little more than a year before our wedding, we knew he was the right choice for us. Immediately , we loved that he had worked at our venue as well as with our photographer. ...
We loved that we were building a team of vendors that knew one another. I grew up in York and Fred knew many of the same people I knew and as we played that game, I got a great feel of the personality he would bring to our wedding! He was responsive to questions we had throughout the planning process and helped us through the process of choosing the best songs and how introductions would happen, first dances, the cake cutting, etc. He told us to choose about 20 songs that were must haves and that he would spend the rest of the night reading the group. He did just that and did a phenomenal job of it. We told him we wanted a dance party and he brought that! He was energetic, professional, and helpful throughout our whole wedding night. People kept telling us he was the best DJ they had ever seen at a wedding! He kept the dance floor busy until our last song when we didn't want the night to end. I can't recommend Fred enough!
As a surprise, my husband also rented the photo booth through Fred. There was a line for pictures all night and we will always treasure the book that we got to keep with the extra pictures. This was a fun addition that Fred offered and we are so glad we had it!
Fred was AMAZING. Not only did he accommodate our less than traditional playlist, he put a lot of time and effort into making it truly work. He trusted us as much as we trusted him and it made the whole evening unforgettable! We appreciated his...
honesty, professionalism and true talent for blending the playlist seamlessly. I'm still getting compliments on how no one's heard anything like it at any wedding they've ever been to. Thanks Fred!
Mark Anthony was great to work with! We had such a fun night and all of our guests had a great time. The evening flowed really smoothly. Our playlist was incredible and fit us perfectly (I've had a couple guests actually request our playlist)....
Thank you Mark!
Two people to thank in this - first, Fred was a champ. We came to him last minute after running into some problems with our original plan and he didn't even blink. Total professional, great rates, and great service. He arranged for Dave to DJ o...
ur wedding.
Dave knocked it out of the park. Followed up from our initial conversation with Fred, called us to discuss the plan for MCing and music, listened to all our plans and requests and was wicked helpful the entire time.
On the day of the wedding we had some curveballs - two separate tents near each other but requiring some shuffling of equipment and other challenges. Didn't phase him at all. Dave hit all the cues and then kept the dance floor packed till the end of the night with a mix of classics and modern hits. Super friendly guy, too. If you're planning a wedding or really any event that requires a DJ in mid-coast area, book Dave now and relax knowing everything's under control.
Planning a wedding long distance can be stressful, so I had to rely heavily on the reviews of others and my initial conversations with some DJs. I spoke to a couple DJs and after speaking with Fred I knew he was going to be perfect for our wed...
ding. He played music that kept everyone on the dance floor at our reception, while also honoring my requests of songs I wanted played or excluded. We chatted a couple times before the wedding so he could double check that he understood everything I filled out on the questionnaire. He was very professional and easy to work with, the up lighting he provided was also beautiful.
Clark Sillery was an incredible resource for our special day. Our event coordinator recommended Clark’s company which was a strong reference point for us. The process of working with Clark was professional and low-stress throughout. On the d...
ay of our wedding, Clark nailed all of his responsibilities and created a fun party environment for our guests. Would definitely recommend!
We really enjoyed working with Fred for our wedding a few weeks ago! My husband and I were very particular about the vibe we wanted for our reception - LOTS of dancing, high energy, a few throwbacks and NO MC-style DJ – Fred delivered on all of...
the above! He was very professional and only came on the mic when necessary. He listened to all of our song requests and kept the energy on the dance floor all night. Would definitely recommend working with Fred and his team!
Through The Stage Neck Inn, we had DJ Fred at our wedding on July 3, 2019. He did an amazing job overall. Fred took the time to meet with us multiple times over the phone and in person. He was a terrific guide in walking us through our ceremony...
set-up and the reception. He was very receptive to our must-haves and really drew from those styles to fill out the rest our playlist. We received nothing but compliments from family and friends of all ages throughout the night. We were very lucky to get Fred through The Stage Neck Inn and would strongly recommend him for your wedding.
I couldn’t have asked for a better DJ than Fred! Neither my husband or I are from the Southern Maine area, but Fred came highly recommended. It can’t be overstated how nice it was to have someone with dozens of weddings under his belt at our pa...
rticular venue. Fred gave us ease of mind, a professional experience and most importantly a FUN time! He paid great attention to detail and was more than willing to accommodate special requests.
Fred was amazing. Besides being such a genuinely great guy he is an even better DJ. Beginning with the ceremony Fred created such an incredible atmosphere. He knew exactly what my fiancé and I wanted out of our day. I couldn’t have been happier...
. Book with Fred!!! He rocks
Fred was fantastic to work with! Easy to talk to and he knows his stuff. Trust his advice! He helped me find the perfect, unique father- daughter dance song and my dad and guests loved it. He kept the party going ang kept things running on time...
, just how we planned. A DJ has a bigger job than I first realized. You need a good DJ to basically run things, and Fred is the best! We couldn't have asked for a better DJ. He played most of our songs, and also made the guests happy by taking some requests. My brother made sure to tell me the next day that the DJ was great!
We loved DJ Fred! We had an initial call with Fred then met him in person the week before our wedding. Among his many great recommendations, he came up with a really creative idea for a dance between the bride and her brothers. It was truly spe...
cial and many of our wedding guests were commenting after about how nice it was. He is truly a visionary and professional all around. We feel incredibly lucky that Fred could DJ our wedding, he helped create wonderful memories that we will never forget. Thank you, DJ Fred!
DJ Fred is the best!! From first meeting with him to phone calls leading up to our big day, he was great to talk with and had so many ideas from his years of experience. He listened to our requests and even surprised us with music for our tea c...
eremony! The dance floor was packed all night long until the very last dance. Everyone has continued to tell us how much fun they had at our wedding and I'm sure that is in large part to DJ Fred. You won't find a more professional and amazing DJ than Fred Pappalardo!!
Clark was outstanding! My husband and I got married at the Stage Neck Inn on September 29th and really appreciated the professionalism Clark provided throughout our planning process. We met with him several times to review timing and activiti...
es and on the day of the wedding he was spot on. He provided the music for our outdoor ceremony and then had equipment inside for a quick transition to the cocktail hour and then the ceremony. He managed to masterfully combine our play list with guest requests and the dance floor was full all night long. We honestly had so much fun out there and so did all our guests! Thanks so much to Clark for really helping make our day so special and so much FUN!
Clark was absolutely nothing but professional, had everyone on the dance floor but did not take the spotlight like some DJs do! He made sure the wedding was all about my husband, myself, and our guests and we had a completely full dance floor t...
he entire night. The song list was on point, he did not play anything that we put on our "do not play list" and the transitions in-between each song were perfect. Thank you thank you Clark, highly recommend to all!
We had a great experience working with Clark Sillery through Fred Pappalardo DJs for our wedding the Nonantum Resort. He played the music for our outdoor ceremony, which went flawlessly. Introductions in the ballroom went perfectly as well. T...
hen, the reception! We had less than 70 guests and were somewhat worried that it would be tricky to fill up the dance floor, but Clark was the reason that it turned into a giant party. He followed all of the requests/instructions that we provided to him before the wedding and also did a great job of "reading the crowd". I'm in my 30s and my groom is in his 40s and we had friends and family of ALL ages at our wedding, so we were thrilled at the way Clark really mixed the decades to get everyone dancing! It was so much fun that no one sat down. Thanks Clark!!
We felt extremely lucky to have Clark Sillery as our wedding DJ and MC. From the beginning, Clark was extremely punctual and organized, and was accommodating to our requested playlist which included some obscure and "non-traditional" wedding mu...
sic. Our guests ranged from millennials to geriatrics, and Clark played music that got EVERYONE up and dancing. We could not have been more impressed! He had a way of reading the crowd and knowing exactly what to play next to keep the party going right up through the final song. If you're looking a great DJ that will go out of his way to ensure your wedding is perfect, Clark is the DJ to book.
Clark is amazing DJ! He kept the party going all night and all my of our guests kept talking about what a great job he was doing. We've been to a lot of weddings these past couple of years and he is by far the best. We would HIGHLY recommend Cl...
ark to anyone looking for an outstanding DJ!
Clark did an amazing job as the DJ for our wedding. He worked with us extensively beforehand and his knowledge of music was impressive. We had picked out a list of songs that were more "dinner music" and he gave us some suggestions for more up...
beat selections in order to get our guests out onto the dance floor. We had an eclectic mix of guest and Clark made sure that everyone was having fun. We were very impressed with his professionalism and for the amount of effort he put in beforehand to make sure that our day was special for everyone.
Clark dj’ed our wedding and it is unfortunate that we have to report his work was very underwhelming. I give three stars because he met us in advance to review the wedding information and he showed up and did his job. Outside of that, his work ...
was nothing special. He’s been doing this for a long time and I think that showed - it was just another wedding for him. There were definitely some major hiccups in his MC duties but luckily it didn’t cause any big issues - tables were called in wrong order, father daughter and mother son dances were almost forgotten as was our drink share and I think the only songs played were on our list - we really hoped for more. Overall we couldn’t recommend him for the money we spent. However I know there are some great djs with this company including James. Wish he hadn’t already been booked.
DJ James McNally was amazing! He guided me through ceremony, cocktail hour and reception making sure all of my requests were met. Phenomenal energy & personality and great voice for announcing. Very easy to work with and knowledgeable. Can'...
t thank him enough for all he brought to our special day!
Fred DJ’d our wedding of about 150 people and the party was an absolute blast!! With the guest list including toddlers, 90-year-olds, and every age in between, he managed to get everyone on the dance floor and create the ultimate party vibe. My...
husband’s family is from the Dominican Republic and Fred took the time to work with us over several meetings to ensure we had the mix of different music just right! Every guest had a blast and the party kept bumping all through the night (the mix of Hispanic and American music only added to the big party vibe). He did an amazing job of coordinating guests’ requests with our must-plays and mixing in plenty of fun surprise songs as well. Fred also provided uplighting and dance lights which warmed up the entire room and added to the fun. He was extremely professional and responsive to work with, and provided plenty of amazing music and timing suggestions that we incorporated into our wedding day. Cannot thank Fred enough - we couldn’t have asked for a better night!
Fred was absolutely amazing! We extended our reception by 2 hours and he kept people dancing ALL NIGHT LONG!! From the first time we spoke and even after the wedding, he was easy to talk to, accommodating and so flexible. He is a must have for ...
any event where you want to have a great time!! We would recommend him to anyone and everyone!!
Fred did an outstanding job. My fiance and I like some weird s**T music, and don't like a lot of top 40, or classic wedding songs, but he was able to form a playlist around what we liked that had everyone up and dancing. Everyone had a blast an...
d were on their feet the whole time. It was a blast.
Fred was fantastic! He did an amazing job with our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception music. He kept people on the dance floor until the very end. In the process leading up to the wedding, he was very responsive to any questions I had and al...
so helped ensure our vision was completed for the ceremony. Extremely friendly and gave great recommendations. The music selections were on point. Just based on the songs we said were a "must" he found other songs that he figured we would like and he nailed it! When we told our venue (York Harbor Inn) that we were using Fred's services for the wedding, they were ecstatic and told us how amazing he is - and they were right. We also used the photo booth service through Fred's company and it was great. We had folks that wouldn't leave the booth all night and it was absolutely worth having there. Fred and his team did an amazing job and we're so thankful!
We used Fred Pappalardo's DJ services for our wedding and could not have been happier! Mark Anthony was our DJ. It was a relatively small wedding with guests ranging in age from 12 to 82 and everyone loved the music. The dance floor was pack...
ed all night! We would highly recommend their services!
DJ Fred did an amazing job at our recent wedding. He played a variety of songs that got everyone of all ages up and dancing, while still incorporating our input. We would highly recommend him for any other weddings!
DJ Fred is amazing! He really made our wedding day a special one. During the ceremony, he provided the processional music / microphone. He played music during the cocktail hour. And then he had us dancing all night at the reception. He did a gr...
eat job "reading" the room, and knew exactly what songs to play next. I highly recommend him for your wedding.
Fred was amazing! He kept everyone dancing for our whole reception! He definitely knows how to read the room and play what people are dancing to. He also did the beautiful music for our ceremony.
We chose DJ James McNally for our wedding this Saturday and had a blast!! Working with James was so easy and he made sure to get all the details right - including my difficult-to-pronounce maiden name! James was attentive to our needs and made ...
sure he had all of our song choices for both the ceremony and reception. By the end of the night there were people on the dance floor that I have never seen dance anywhere else in my life!!! Thank you James for helping make our day so fun, unforgettable, and special!!!
We had Clark as our wedding DJ and he was an absolute delight. We told Clark we were having a small wedding and didn't need all the bells and whistle. Clark immediately understood our vision and made our wedding day perfect. Our guests literall...
y danced the night away and they couldn't stop complimenting how energetic and fun Clark was. Thank you for making our day feel so special!
We worked with Clark for our wedding and he was great. He worked with all of our suggestions, including some very specific ones that he nailed! Our dance floor was full the entire night!
Fred is hands down the BEST wedding DJ out there! As a wedding photographer myself, I know how important a good DJ is at the reception. Fred kept things running smoothly, my guests were never wondering what came next, and he played the best mus...
ic - he kept the party going on the dance floor and my guests had the best time. My husband and I put all of our trust in Fred and he did not disappoint! We highly recommend him to future couples, you will be so happy to have him as your DJ!
We hired Fred as our DJ for our wedding at the Stageneck Inn on October 8th, 2017. It was the best decision we made! Fred was easy to work with from the start. He responded to all of my emails within a few days or would call right away if he fe...
lt we needed to discuss my questions in details. I emailed Fred at least 1-2 times a week and I never felt like I was bothering him with all of my crazy questions. I actually feel sad that I don’t have someone to email with song questions, lighting questions, etc.
Fred showed up on our wedding day with energy, a smile on his face and helped to calm my nerves. He went right to work and modified things as the night went on. Fred made sure to check in with us a few times during the evening to make sure we were doing okay and reminded us to take a moment for ourselves.
We also decided to add the photo booth to our package, which was a huge hit! Our friends and families said it was the highlight of their night. They were able to take a photo strip home with them and the second half went into a scrapbook. We had some good laughs looking at the scrapbook the next morning. We were also given a USB drive with all of the photos.
We highly recommend Fred to any couple looking for a top notch DJ for their wedding day. Fred is very easy to work with and you will appreciate his advice when it comes to planning your big day.

Great experience with Clark. He was thorough yet flexible. I sent him updates days before our wedding and he was able to accommodate. Highly recommend.
Clark was great! He read the crowd well and did a nice selection from our playlist and his own to keep everyone dancing for the whole reception! It was a little difficult to hear him as the microphone was a bit muffled but the lighting he provi...

ciations, and to review the timeline. The ceremony acoustics were perfect as well. We absolutely recommend Fred!
Mark Anthony was recently the DJ for our wedding on 9-9-17. We can not express how amazing Mark was. I remember the first conversation I had with him on the phone and knew right away how much he loved what he does. After we met with Mark a few ...
short weeks before our wedding we knew that he was going to make it an experience to remember. From the ceremony, to cocktail hour, to dinner and to dancing he made the entire day piece together perfectly. Everyone was on the dance floor the entire night. Throughout the evening and night many times guests approached us and asked "who is your DJ and where did you find him?". We cannot praise Mark enough and would highly recommend him for any style of wedding! Thanks Mark for everything you did, and can only hope that many other couples use you as their DJ in the future so they can feel the way that we felt on our special day.
Fred did an amazing job at our wedding in Kennebunkport this past August! My husband and I wanted a DJ who could keep the dance floor busy all night and he did just that. Fred has been in the business a long time and definitely knows what he is...
doing. He was very organized and the night was flawless. He provided music for pre ceremony all the way to our reception. We also hired a photo booth through him which was a great price and our guests loved! We had the most perfect wedding and our guests had a great time. Hire Fred and you will not be disappointed.
Amazing DJ. My husband and I traveled from California to Maine to get married. We had friends fly in from all over the US and even from Europe for our wedding. All brides want a perfect wedding. I had one and Fred was a big part of the event. A...
ll our friends commented how Fred was exceptional. They loved the music. His positive friendly attitude throughout the event was noticed by all. I had guests ask me "where did you find this guy". Fred deserves more than five stars. My husband andI highly recommend Fred. So check him out if you get married on the East Coast. Jeff and Joan Connell
We had our wedding last night at Stage Neck Inn and could not have asked for a better DJ! Fred is amazing and we highly recommend him! I met with Fred a few weeks before the wedding and he really took all my requests and delivered. He had the c...
rowd going from the moment he started walk-ins for the reception till the very last song. Our dance floor was never empty!! Our family and friends had the best time. People who normally aren't big dancers we're up and moving all night. Thank you so much Fred!!
We booked Clark Sillery for our July 2017 wedding at the York Harbor Inn. He was great! We spoke with him on the phone, and he answered all our questions. Plus, he's very budget friendly! On the day of our wedding, we didn't have to worry about...
a thing. We also submitted a brief 'must play'... he covered it all. He interacted so professionally with our guests (especially when they requested songs on our 'do not play' list), danced along with the music... he had as much fun doing his job as we did at our wedding. Couldn't recommend him more highly!
The Fred, of Fred Pappalardo Disc Jockeys, DJ'd our wedding and he did a fantastic job! Fred made the planning easy and since our wedding was in our home he took special care to make sure the music would be right everywhere our guests were! Hi...
s suggestions regarding how to use the music throughout the evening were exactly right. We appreciate the time Fred took with our singer before the ceremony so the songs were beautifully performed.

We highly recommend Fred Pappalardo & company!!
We booked DJ Fred because of his amazing reviews and needless to say, it was a great decision. Fred played our ceremony music, dinner music, and reception. His music choices were spot on and even songs he chose that I wouldn't have thought wou...
ld be a crowd pleaser were often the ones that got people out of their seats. He is very helpful and supportive and great for your wedding!
We worked with Mark Anthony - a DJ under the Fred Papparaldo umbrella. We cannot speak highly enough of Mark's performance at our wedding, and even the process before. He was very professional, organized, outgoing, and flexible to our schedules...
. We got more compliments on his music selection throughout the night, and he even got people dancing on the floor who I have never seen dance before!
I would absolutely recommend (and have already) to all my friends/family planning wedding.
I can't say enough about happy we are with Fred's professional yet personalized service! He is simply the best. He provided music for the ceremony and reception, and all of the reception activity "guidance" like annoucing the wedding part, firs...

Fred is the best DJ! I did not give him a list of songs to play/not to play, I completely trusted Fred to read my guests. He kept everyone dancing all night long. I was SO happy with his work and so glad I gave him full control over the music. ...
