Groove events was amazing to work with and we are so glad we hired them! Graeme was our DJ at our wedding and he was a pleasure to work with. He did an amazing job executing our vi...
sion for the day and seamlessly played every song we wanted for each special moment of the day. He kept our dance floor alive all night and guests raved about how great the music was at our wedding. Graeme did a perfect job with all introductions and hosting the night and we couldn't recommend him enough to anyone looking for a DJ for their special day!
My husband and I hired DJ Matt Toto & Team for our wedding, and we can't say enough great things about them! Matt and his team took care of all of our DJ services, uplighting and o...
ur audio guestbook for our wedding day. They were all incredibly kind, organized and made us feel such at ease. From the moment we spoke to Matt, we knew he would be the perfect DJ for our day. From our first phone call to the wedding day, Matt was incredibly easy to work with, organized and brought the best energy for our day. He kept our day running smoothly, handled all of our last minute requests with such grace, and kept the dance floor going all night long. He understood the vibe we were going for perfectly! Our guests still rave about Matt, the music, vibes and our audio guestbook. If you are contemplating an audio guestbook for your day, just do it! We promise you won't regret it. We are truly grateful for DJ Matt Toto & Team, and we highly recommend them to anyone!

Groove is the #1 choice for everything you need at your wedding - they are helpful, patient, and THOROUGH. They will walk you through every step from the music, lighting, order of ...
events, etc.
They are masters at what they do - DJ Carl is a veteran of thousands of weddings and knows the song choice for ANY situation (cocktail hour, dinner, dancing, etc).
Let groove take the wheel and your wedding is going to be INCREDIBLE
We knew early on in the planning process that getting the music right was one of the most important parts of the wedding and DJ Matt was exactly what we needed. He did a great job ...
with the flow of the reception. For music choices he did a great job balancing the various tastes of the guests, mixing in songs for the older generations, newer stuff, Latin and Italian songs so everyone was satisfied. By the end of the last song, people were clamoring for more!
DJ Matt Toto brought our vision to life and it was truly an all night dance party! Matt set the tone of our wedding from the ceremony through cocktail hour and all the way through ...
the very last song - the dance floor was electric and our guests had the time of their lives thanks to Matt (see photo for proof!)
He was so open, communicative and easy to work with throughout the planning process, he truly brought our vision to life!
We also added on the photo booth option and uplighting that were both gamechangers for our reception!
We cannot recommend DJ Matt Toto enough for your wedding or any honestly any upcoming event!
Joe and the team at GrooveEvents made our wedding celebration a blast! Everything from the Photo Booth to the uplighting contributed to a fun atmosphere that we and our guests love...
d. One of our most special memories was the anniversary dance that Joe coordinated ending with my husband’s grandparents as the last couple on the dance floor with the most years of marriage. It made such a difference to have announcements so guests didn’t miss important parts of the night. My friends and I were so excited to hear our favorite songs and danced the night away. We are so grateful Joe was a part of our special day.
Joe was a great DJ! He went the extra mile to talk with me and my husband to make sure all the details of the wedding were worked out and the day will go smoothly. A change in cont...
ract meant that the services should have stopped sooner but Joe happily stayed the extra hour for serve our whole wedding.
I can't recommend Joe Toto from Groove Events enough! Him & his team were incredible for our August 2022 wedding at Granite Links. From the beginning of our planning, through our w...
edding day Joe was amazing. The Groove Team set up the sound for the ceremony, the uplighting for our reception & Joe was the MC & DJ for our reception. Joe called me the week before our wedding to check-in, share his excitement & make sure he understood the vibe we were going for. I really appreciated this, as the music was a very important factor for me and my husband. Joe greeted my husband and I before our ceremony & even adjusted to make a last minute change to the entrances to our reception. He and his team had smiling faces all night & kept the vibe of our night upbeat & fun, just like we wanted! My family and friends didn't leave the dance floor all night & are still talking about how fun it was! Thank you again Groove events, you're the best!
DJ Matt Toto was the DJ for our wedding. Matt was very easy to work with. Prior to the wedding he set up a meeting to go over what we wanted at the reception in terms of music, and...
announcements. When the wedding day came, he followed our requests perfectly. He gave off great energy and the guests loved him! The music was awesome and many of our guests commented on how great the DJ was. We would highly recommend Matt in the future!

Joe and Matt blew our expectations for a good time out of the park. Our dance floor was roaring all night thanks to these guys and they were so much FUN! I knew from the first time...
I chatted with Joe, that he had a great personality and that we would jive. He made me feel confident all of the details of our big day and ran through the whole event with me live on the phone a few weeks prior, giving me assurance that everything was going to be fine! Joe was more than a DJ, he brought a vibrant attitude and friendly face (though I had never met him in person) to our wedding and we couldn’t have been more pleased. Thank you Joe and the Groove team!
GrooveEvents created the exact atmosphere we were seeking for our event. Our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception was specific to what we envisioned. The music was perfect, the...
uplighting was stunning, and we just can’t wait to see the wedding video. We highly recommend GrooveEvents for all of their services!

DJ Matt Toto was the absolute best! He was so easy to communicate with and effortlessly followed through with everything I asked for including playing the songs I wanted during our...
ceremony, providing microphones so that all of our guests could hear the ceremony, and rocking our reception! His energy was contagious and really helped make it the best night ever! We had so many compliments about how great he was and we couldn’t agree more!
DJ Matt Toto was the DJ for our wedding. From the planning until the last song, Matt went above and beyond. He worked hard to provide sound at the summit of a mountain for our cere...
mony. Come time for the reception the energy he gave off was great! The music was awesome, many of our guests have told us how much they loved the DJ! Our wedding coordinator also spoke very highly of him. We would highly recommend Matt in the future
We were lucky enough to book Joe Toto as our DJ AND his wife Marcia as our photographer. Marcia was so lovely to work with! She came early to capture some pre-wedding moments and ...
then stayed through the reception. We have just recieved the photos and she did such a fantastic job capturing our big day. We also cannot say enough about Joe. He was the greatest DJ! Somehow he took the list of music that we gave him and included all of our important songs while adding tons of crowd-pleasers. He kept all of our guests (literally everyone-- from age 2 to 80) on the dance floor through the very last song. They really brought the fun!
DJ Matt Toto made our wedding dreams totally come true! As a girl who loves to dance, he totally rocked the music and knew how to get EVERYONE on the dance floor and having a blast...
! He knew exactly what to do and say and put my mind to ease whenever I was unsure of how something worked! I recommended Matt to EVERYONE who is looking to have an amazing time and who loves to dance and have fun!
We can't say enough about our experience with groove events! One of our guests asked if our vendors were friends of ours because they were all so personable. This is what they do...
, they make the event ALL about you as it should be! It isn't about capturing their next gig, it is about capturing your event. The photos and video are a perfect reflection of their talent and something we will cherish forever. I am so glad we were able to provide us with everything we wanted - DJ, Photography and Videography! Thank you, Joe, Marcia, Paul Kerianne and Aziz!! Hope our paths cross again someday soon! ❤️
Joe at Groove Events did our bistro lighting for our wedding on September 22 in Falmouth, MA. It was an outdoor ceremony under a tent, and Joe did a wonderful job with our lights. ...
He has asked for photos of what we were thinking before our big day, just to ensure that he could do exactly what we wanted. In addition, Joe was very organized and his follow up was great – he would get back to us on any and all questions right away. I felt like I could really trust Joe and his business because he knew what he was doing, and he was happy to proactively share details about his services and his professional opinion on what was best. Joe is a true professional who takes a lot of pride in his work, and I would highly recommend working with him.
Joe Toto and his crew were the best! The DJ had the whole crowd dancing all night long. They accommodated any and all requests and I would recommend them again and again!! They ...
also did my up-lighting which was perfect and the video which I cannot wait to see. So happy we chose groove events!!
Groove Events went far and beyond in helping to make our wedding day very special. Out of the set of things that could go wrong in a wedding, they moved forward flawlessly. When we...
realized we were missing a microphone for the rabbi, they offered to fill in the gap with their own.
Their lighting was amazing and helped make the venue appear even more stunning. Joe Toto the DJ was very friendly and great to work with. He did an amazing job in the music selection and pushing requests. His charisma encouraged the guests to dance and really helped keeping the dance floor packed.
Would really like to thank Groove Events team for helping make this day special, and would highly recommend them.

If you want your wedding to be over the top, look no further then Groove Entertainment! We worked with Groove to have up lighting and photo booths at our wedding. The up lighting t...
ook the look of our reception venue over the top and made the room look better then we had ever imagined. We’ve had multiple people come to us after our wedding who loved the photo/GIF booths and thought that the people working the booths were fun and professional. Joe Toto and his entire team knocked it out of the park and we would highly recommend them for your wedding!
Derek Campbell went above and beyond for our wedding. He had people dancing the ENTIRE reception, before dinner was even served! He worked with us to incorporate what we wanted but...
then made it far better than I had dreamed. He's great at reading the crowd, and keeping the music flowing. I can't recommend Derek enough!
Derek Campbell was the DJ for our wedding, and we couldn't have made a better choice! We sat down with Derek and started planning every detail, from introductions, to late night mu...
sic a few months in advance, and he laid out everything he'd need from us to make our event successful. Derek was very professional and took all of our suggestions and concerns into consideration, making sure he wasn't just playing music that we liked, but that he set the appropriate tone to reflect our personalities, and to make our guests happy. We had family from around the world and requested some cultural-specific music, and he integrated it in without skipping a beat. Derek kept everyone on the Dance floor until 2 AM when the reception staff finished for the evening. My husband and I had such an amazing time, and all of our guests commented on what a great job he had done, as well. Some of our guests have already asked for his information for their upcoming wedding. We wanted to not only have a great ceremony and wedding, but also an awesome party with all of our family and friends, and that's exactly what we got. We would highly recommend Derek to anyone looking for a professional MC and DJ, who will ensure your guests (and you!) have a great time at your event. Thanks again to Derek and Groove Events!
We worked with Graeme Ritchie for our wedding and could not have been more pleased with everything he did to make our wedding so wonderful! Graeme was easy to get in touch with and...
spent some time asking the right kinds of questions, but it was clear he knew what he was talking about, and didn't need a ton of direction. We sent him some songs and artists we liked, the kind of music we wanted played when throughout the night, and left a lot up to him. Day-of, Graeme was great - fairly hands-off but it was clear that he was on-top of everything that needed to happen and when it needed to happen. The music was amazing - really spot on at every moment of the evening, from the ceremony (which we did pick out which songs we wanted) to the dinner and dancing. Graeme's shining moments were during the dancing portion of the event. People loved the music and the dance floor was packed all night. Since the wedding, multiple people have commented how much fun they had dancing and how good the DJ was - and we agree! As a note, my wife and I are both women and it was a lesbian wedding. Graeme was just generally easy to work with around this and was welcoming, warm and, most importantly, a great DJ!
We came across reviews of Peter’s DJ work in our early stages of planning. It is almost unbelievable when a vendor has nearly all perfect reviews, but after seeing him in action, i...
t’s clear why! Peter is absolutely talented at what he does. We provided him a list of artists and songs to give a feel of what we were going for music-wise, and told him we were hoping for an all night dance party. That is absolutely what we got! He is amazing at reading the room and getting a feel for what will keep people on the floor.Peter was so great at getting everyone excited and amped up, people were even hitting the dancefloor between their meal courses. Everything planning-wise leading up to the wedding was smooth; Peter was in touch with our venue coordinators and everything went off without a hitch.
Joe Toto and his entire team were the absolute greatest to work with! You can tell that they love what they do - and that comes through in the uplighting, pin-spotting, DJ and emc...
ee services loud and clear. They worked incredibly hard to transform our reception ballroom into a sight that made our guests gasp as they entered. The music playlist was LITERALLY the best ever and it got better and better with each song that played! Our wedding ended at 12:15-12:30 and the dance floor was completely full until the very end with guests NOT WANTING TO LEAVE! Joe and his entire team are terrific - we couldn't have been happier!
We used Groove Entertainment for our wedding 2 nights ago - and everything was AMAZING! Joe, Marcia and their entire staff were attentive, courteous, and helped the day go off with...
out a hitch! Thanks, guys!!!
We worked with Graeme Ritchie at Groove Events. He was great! Took all of our requests and considerations into account to put together a lovely set of music for the cocktail hour, ...
dinner, and dancing. He energized the crowd when he needed to, but also took a step back when he found it appropriate. He was very nice and approachable, and a great deal for the price!
So when Todd and I where looking for our DJ and lighting we had one meeting with Joe Toto and he knew exactly what we where looking for music at our wedding. He knew some of the na...
mes of artist before we even told him. He and his crew did an amazing job with both the room lighting and music. He had everyone on the dance floor and the flow of music was great! Joe and his team went well beyond our expectations! What a great way to celebrate with a great team of expects!
Thanks again
Kevin and Todd
Peter Diozzi was the DJ for our wedding and provided the uplighting for the reception and cocktail hour space. From the minute I first spoke with Peter on the phone I immediately k...
new he was my DJ! We completely connected, he was so easy to talk to and I knew he would be perfect for our wedding. He was incredibly easy to work with and stopped at nothing to make sure everything was perfect, and it was :) The uplighting was perfect and gave the reception space the perfect glow I was looking for and his DJ skills were top notch! He kept everyone on the dance floor all night! Highly recommend
Where do I begin???? Joe and Marcia Toto and everyone at Groove Entertainment went above and beyond to make sure my special day was all I had ever imagined and more! Joe nailed eve...
rything when it came to DJing, sheers, lighting, montage, instant replay, etc!!!! Marcia stayed the ENTIRE night and let me tell you; the pictures that we received were to die for!! It's amazing the magic her and her crew could do with a camera! I would highly recommend using Groove for any special occasion you may have! If we lived locally, they would be the ones I'd run to for anything entertainment!! I could go on and on about how much I loved everything they did for my husband and I, but, honestly, one meeting with them and you will know exactly what I mean!!
They made our wedding so much fun. They had the crowd dancing all night, playing songs we requested along with their amazing picks. Their uplighting was also perfect to set the moo...
d. Highly recommend these guys for your wedding or upcoming event!
I had the great fortune of booking Joe Toto as the DJ for my wedding and his wife Marcia as our photographer. They both came highly recommended from a friend I have in the Boston a...
rea event-planning industry and from the first meeting I had with them I could see why. Both Joe and Marcia were so professional and easy to work with, and they both made me feel 100% confident that they could deliver what I had been dreaming of in my head.
Throughout the planning process both Joe and Marcia kept in constant contact with me to make sure that we were on the same page as far as details, and as we got closer to the wedding they were both able to provide me with a detailed outline of how their specific part of our day was going to go. On the day of, everything went off without a hitch. Marcia worked tirelessly getting every possible photo and Joe created the exact atmosphere that I was hoping for. Not only was their communication with me great, but the communication between them and my other vendors was flawless and it enabled the day to run smoothly and without problem. I would 100% use them again for another event, and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a quality DJ or photographer.
From start to finish Joe Toto did a fantastic job at our wedding. He keep the dance floor packed, pleasing guests from all ages. Everyone had so much fun dancing all night, and s...
everal guests told me it was the best wedding they had ever been to. That is all thanks to Joe and his team!
Groove events provided us with excellent service with the music, lighting and videography. I would definitely recommend using them for all of your wedding needs.

Thanks Joe!
Derek Campbell was our DJ, and we are so happy we used him! All our friends and family said the wedding was amazing, but the DJ made it. He kept the party going. The dance floor...
floor was never awkwardly empty! He played the type of music everyone liked. Noe elevator music here. I highly recommend Derek Campbell!
Peter was excellent from the moment we met to consider hiring him as our DJ. He was very clear that he would play exactly what we wanted to hear and at our wedding he did an amazin...
g job of reading the crowd and playing songs that got everyone on the dance floor. Even more important for my husband, who used to work weddings himself and has heard “Love Shack” more than he ever wanted to, Peter promised that he wouldn’t play anything we didn’t want to hear. He also made it clear that if we hired him, he would be our DJ, no matter what. Peter lived up to all of our expectations and more. We also contracted with Groove to provide some up-lighting, which Peter was responsible for setting up. When we arrived to the reception and were given a preview of the ballroom before our guests entered it looked better than we ever imagined. The atmosphere was warm and fun, but still classy, which our guests are still talking about. Peter was extremely professional and came over to greet us and congratulate us as soon as we entered the ballroom. He took a few minutes to quickly go through the checklist of events with us one more time to make sure he’d cover everything we wanted. We explained to him that we were going to try and take group photos with all of our guests before dinner, so that we may start a few minutes late and he was very understanding. He just rolled with things all night and checked with us several times to make sure that we were having a great time. Peter was fantastic at finding the songs that got the crowd involved. We heard every song we asked for, and despite our long playlist, Peter was able to get in most of the guest requests too. Our ceremony also included a lot of old family traditions that we peppered in throughout the night. We had originally asked Peter to MC for the audience’s benefit. In the moment, we decided it might be better if the family did the talking. Peter was very flexible and helped us introduce the traditions and then handed over the microphone so that we could take it from there. Unlike a lot of DJs, Peter did not make himself the show. He was involved when we asked him to be, but otherwise was in the background keeping the energy up all night. At the end of the night our guests had so many compliments about the reception, and a large number of those compliments were about how great the DJ was. Peter is a skilled professional who can find music to engage both young and old at the same time. He is extremely fun to work with and absolutely delivers on expectations. Our wedding would not have been as wonderful had we gone with someone else. Your event is in great hands should you hire Peter.
Groove Events is amazing! We used Joe Toto for our music and up lighting, and could not have been happier. He had insightful ideas about the lighting design. Also, he kept the d...
ance floor packed the whole night long. He also provided a photobooth, which was the hit of the reception.
We would absolutely recommend Joe Toto and Groove Events to future brides.
Rich and Dean DJ'ed my wedding in Boston this past weekend. Rich was my contact prior to the wedding and he was fantastic to work with - professional, helpful and pleasant. He an...
d Dean incorporated my song requests into the evening but also did a great job setting the right tone throughout the event with music of their own choosing. They had all the tracks that I wanted for special dances, etc., and were able to suggest others (i.e. last dance song) that I was stumped on. They also did a fantastic job with the uplighting - seemed like a bit of a splurge at the time but it really added to the ambience during the reception portion of the evening. Their prices seemed reasonable and the company also gave me a discount for booking DJ, uplighting, photography and video with the same company.
Highly highly recommend their services to future brides.
I found out about Groove Events through a quick search of Entertainment Companies within the Boston area. Seeing that they were located in the town I grew up in (attended school - ...
Lexington)...I was immediately interested! My initial request was simply for the uplighting-it was a MUST have for our wedding and based on their pictures from previous weddings, I knew we had to give them a shot! Once meeting with Marc and Joe, I was immediately smitten! Every idea I could think of for decorating, lights, music, photos...they were able to do! My husband on the other hand was a little skeptical but, come wedding day...he was more than pleased! Joe is by far one of the BEST DJ's we have ever seen at any wedding and we couldn't count the number of compliments we kept getting from our guests. His ability to entertain our very diverse crowd was impeccable. Marc handled everything from beginning to end but, seemed to be nowhere in sight...everything just seemed to get done somehow without him being noticed. And Marcia was for sure, the best photographer! She even stayed extra hours just to ensure she captured every magical moment. We can't thank you all enough and will definitely be referring Groove to EVERYONE we know of!
Truly Grateful,
Jerron & Katrice Gerald
We used Joe Toto, the owner of Groove events to DJ our wedding on 7/13/13 and could not have been happier. as a DJ, he was very professional and he kept the party going all night. ...
Many people have said to me how fun the wedding was and that the dance floor seemed pack all night and this is thanks to Joe! If you want your wedding to go off without a hitch Joe is the DJ to use, he has a ton of experience and is able to play off the crowd and keep the party going! I would highly recommend him!
Peter Diozzi had everybody out on the dance floor from the moment dinner was over! We heard over and over from our wedding guests how much they liked the DJ - he really was able to...
read the crowd! We did not give Peter a lot of requested songs to go off of - he used his professional experience to put together an unbelievable playlist. Thank you Peter!
Derek was a HUGE hit at our wedding!!
My husband, parents, and I had met with Derek and one of Groove's photographers over a year prior to our wedding. While we didn't book the ph...
otographer, we knew we HAD to book Derek! He was easy-going, funny, and professional. It was really important to me that I was able to see video of him in action at a wedding, as some other DJs didn't offer this when I was looking.
Between that meeting and our wedding we didn't have a ton of communication, but that was likely just because I hadn't needed to reach out for anything. When I finally did have some questions about a month prior to the wedding, he was super responsive and patient. We had a NYE wedding and he was willing to work with us to facilitate a few things like the countdown clock and NYE party garb. He even seemed enthusiastic and excited to be spending the holiday with us!
I can't say enough good things about Derek. He was one of my favorite vendors from the occasion and I'm STILL getting compliments about him even a month later... You will not regret booking him :) Thank you, Derek!!
I used Joe Toto of Groove for my wedding on 9/21.. and when I say he rocked the house- he had EVERYONE on the dance floor. This guy is skilled at getting everyone up and having a...
good time!! He and his staff have a great energy level and were so easy to work with. All the songs I wanted played were played, along with other requests such as shortening the parent dances.
Every time I called them for something Joe or someone on their staff got back to me, same with e-mails.
I loved all the people at Groove and would use them without question the next time I need some music!!
We used Groove for our October 2012 wedding. We were pleased 100% with the entire process from initial planning through the wedding. All of their staff are courteous, professional,...
and respond to emails and telephone calls quickly (24-48 hours). We were impressed when we had the option to do our DJ interview via Skype; since our work schedules made a weeknight commute to Groove's office difficult. We used DJ Joe Toto and we were so happy! He did an excellent job reading our wedding dancing crowd, kept people on the dance floor all night. Joe played our requests and did not play the songs/genres on our "do not play" list. Joe really made our wedding a fun party for us and our guests. I highly recommend this company to all brides!
I had Rich Moretti as my DJ, and thought he and his partner did an awesome job! The only thing I would have changed would be to have them play faster, younger stuff earlier on in t...
he dance (the oldies got a little old), but overall they were nice, professional, fun, and really great. I would absolutely recommend them!
I had lights and DJ services from Groove and it was truly perfect, I would highly recommend Groove to all brides, they are stress free, so helpful and the DJ made the whole wedding...
. Not one person sitting, everyone was on the dance floor all night.
