Marcus Ho
Owner
Music has always been a conduit for my self expression. At the age of 16, I was mentored by a club DJ in Seattle. I quickly discovered music had the power to facilitate joy and connection between people. From then on I have worked hard to hone intuitive skills and an eclectic musical repertoire. I pride myself in being able to tune into the vibe of a crowd and and keep the dance floor full and engaged over many different genres. As a NYC Wedding DJ and DJ for special events, it's a different experience every time...and I love the challenge!

dditional 30 min. Dan went above and beyond to walk through the venue setup, sound needs for our musicians, and discussed the worksheet he had us fill out with music preferences etc. Dan was able to accommodate the eclectic array of music styles we requested from traditional Chinese songs to Bad Bunny, and country, and Jazz and handled everything SO professionally. We didn’t have to worry about a thing!

My wife and I booked DJ Marcus for our wedding in November 2025, and he ended up being the best DJ we could have hoped for. I usually do not love DJs who have that overly hype, spo...
rts announcer style when it comes to emceeing and making announcements, but Marcus is the complete opposite. I first met him at another wedding I was working a few years ago, and he immediately stood out. His emceeing had real class and warmth, and the dance floor was lit. I remember thinking right then that when I got married, he would be my first call.
He exceeded our expectations in every way. Marcus is extremely organized and thorough, and during our final meeting he went over everything in detail, including coordinating with the band I arranged for our ceremony so there was a clear plan for everyone’s sound systems. One of my biggest pet peeves is bad audio at events, and he made it so I did not have to worry about it at all.
On the wedding day, I was genuinely impressed by how much he handled as a one person team. He set up three different sound systems and all of them worked flawlessly for the ceremony in the on site chapel, the cocktail hour space, and the reception ballroom. Our bridal party also wanted very specific timing for entrances, including a moment where the girls interrupted the guys’ dance, and Marcus took the time to go over the timing with everyone beforehand. I have seen entrances like that get botched when the DJ does not pay attention, but ours came out perfectly, and it was because Marcus cared enough to rehearse it with them.
He also has a ton of technical skill. He helped my sister and dad set up a vocal and guitar performance they prepared for us and made sure there were no issues with the wireless pickups they were using. He is sharp, professional, and efficient, and everything sounded clean and balanced all day. As someone in the video industry who pays attention to AV, I really noticed the difference. No feedback, no wireless interference, just smooth audio that made the whole event feel seamless.
And when it was time to party, Marcus absolutely delivered. He gave great advice on how to get people onto the dance floor, kept every transition smooth throughout the night, and did a great job reading the vibe and culture of the room to keep the energy high. The lighting he brought was also a great touch and made it feel like we were in a club even though it was a daytime wedding.
Easy 5 stars. I would recommend DJ Marcus to any couple who wants a DJ they can trust to run a flawless wedding and throw an amazing party.

We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ for our wedding! From the very first song to the last, our guests (from kids to all the aunties in their 70s dancing like they were teens ag...
ain) were on their feet all night and having an absolute blast. So many people came up to us during and after the reception to compliment the music and the energy. Marcus paid close attention to every detail we discussed (seamlessly transitioning from disco to 90s to 00s to today’s music), read the crowd perfectly, and kept the dance floor packed. His passion truly shows in his work, and it made our night unforgettable. Highly recommend!

He was super professional and executed all of our ceremony music perfectly, ensuring every cue and transition was seamless. For the reception, he provided just the right amount of MC-ing and introductions to smoothly move the evening along without ever dominating the spotlight. Most importantly, he listened to our tastes and played all of our favorite songs! The energy was incredible, and Marcus kept the dance floor packed all night long with us and all of our guests. Hiring Marcus was one of the best entertainment decisions we made and we couldn't recommend him enought!

, we had a few non-English names in the wedding party and he really took the effort to learn how to pronounce them properly when announcing them. Marcus also has a super well-organized process to really get to know our music tastes, and he curated a customized playlist with the perfect vibes for the whole 6hrs, from ceremony to cocktail hour to reception dinner to dance floor. Marcus was also super flexible with some last-minute changes to the schedule when some things got delayed and kept the evening going smoothly. Thank you so much Marcus! We're so grateful he was part of our big day :)

He completely understood our vision for what we wanted and gave us such a great confidence that he would deliver (spoiler: he totally did). Marcus was truly such a pleasure to work with from start to finish. His professionalism, gentle demeanor, and overall vibe cannot be understated.
He kept our dance floor going all night, listened to all of our requests, met with us several times throughout the planning process, and was overall just wonderful. Thank you Marcus for everything! We so enjoyed working with you.

dding, my wife and I had a call with him to go over the run of show and the overall vibe we wanted for the night. He listened closely, asked thoughtful questions, and truly understood the kind of energy we hoped to create.
The day before the wedding, I sent Daniel a playlist with specific music requests for different parts of the evening — and he executed it all flawlessly. At one point during the wedding, we had to make a last-minute shift while our band was setting up, and Daniel quickly pivoted to play Spanish music that perfectly matched the moment. Without skipping a beat!
His attention to detail, ability to read the room, and warm, professional demeanor are just a few reasons why I highly recommend him. If you're looking for a DJ who will elevate your event and keep the energy just right, Daniel is your guy.

Marcus did s...
uch an amazing job DJing our wedding, we couldn’t be more thrilled. He is extremely thoughtful with his work. He took careful note of my husband and my musical tastes and preferences, as well as the vibe of our wedding, instead of playing a standard tired playlist. Per our request, he blended in some Latin music seamlessly. The dance floor was full and lively all night long, exactly as we had hoped for! He played songs we hadn’t requested but that we love, leaving me wondering how he could have known so well what to play. He also respected our “do not play” list, as I found out multiple guests requested songs on it and he politely declined.
Marcus is very thorough and organized which made working with him so easy- he was on top of all the details, order of events/cues, even reviewed proper name pronunciation with us in advance. The event manager at our venue said she loved working with him and was very impressed.
Marcus has such a kind and warm personality, and a really special talent- we feel so lucky that he was part of our big day!

Marcus was incredible! He was the best wedding DJ we could have ever asked for. Right from the beginning, he was thoughtful, prompt / responsive, and such a pleasure to work with. ...
We are not huge music people, and he was incredibly helpful in guiding us towards a collection and vibe that was fun for our guests, included our favorite songs, and kept everyone dancing all night. He even singlehandedly designed the cocktail party mix because we weren't sure what we wanted. As an emcee, Marcus was a poised and tasteful presenter, who was very organized and well-spoken around our "run of show." We had many friends tell us Marcus was the best wedding DJ they had ever heard - and we agree!

He was also very helpful in talking through our indecisiveness on doing a first dance. We really debated and ended up deciding to skip it and we have no regrets. Marcus made us comfortable in how the dancing would kick off naturally without it and we never looked back. I’d recommend Marcus to anyone getting married and we still reflect fondly on working with him.

and experience in the industry is priceless and helped us figure out all of the small details and timeline for our big day. Marcus met with us multiple times throughout the planning process - during our last meeting we spoke for almost 2 hours meticulously going through details. With such careful planning, my (now) Wife and I were able to enjoy the day stress free as everything was entirely figured out. Lastly, and most importantly, Marcus absolutely lit up the dance floor with his DJ set. Our guests loved the music, the dance floor was never empty, and the transitions and announcements by Marcus were perfectly executed. We highly recommend going with Marcus as your DJ - he’ll go above and beyond!

We used Marcus Ho for our 2024 wedding! From our first meeting with Marcus, we knew we were in good hands. We had a few calls with other DJs & Marcus stood out from the beginning. ...
Not only was Marcus so personable, but he was truly determined to match the vibe my husband & I were looking for in our wedding music. Our venue was a restaurant with multiple rooms & he managed to have the sound play wonderfully throughout the place. He even went above & beyond by scoping out the restaurant the day before to ensure his set up for the day of.
Marcus did a great job of announcing our toasts, clearing the floor for first dances & providing thoughtful and meaningful announcements when needed. He kept our dance floor packed all night long by playing our “must plays” while also feeling the vibe of the room to keep everyone (regardless of age) dancing and having fun.
Looking back on our wedding, there were little mishaps & things we did not expect for. The true ONE thing my husband & I never had to worry or think about was our music. Having Marcus be our DJ alleviated any potential stress because we know he truly cared about our wedding. He was extremely flexible with the venue, personable with our guests, and exceptionally talented at what he does. I would recommend him 100x over! Out of the different vendors we had - restaurant, hair/makeup etc THIS guy is the absolute #1 recommendation.

o the most communicative, accommodating and organized DJ we talked to. After having our wedding, we were SO GLAD to have went with Marcus, and we've recommended him to a couple other friends as well.
Reasons why Marcus was awesome:
1) Was able to customize all the songs/playlists to our liking. We had individual walkout songs for each groomsman/bridesmaid pair.
2) Music was awesome! Transitions were very professional, fluid and sounded at times like we were at a club! Some of these songs are not easy to transition from one to another.
3) Good equipment, sound quality - I've been to way too many weddings where the ceremony/speeches you get feedback or it's not loud/too loud. Not at ours!
3) DJ + emcee all in one. You only pay tip once and only for one vendor meal!
4) Overly, very communicative, came early, video chatted with us a couple times before the wedding and overall a+++ experience!
P.S check out DJ Marcus' IMDB page! He was on succession!

Many were also impressed with his technology and hardware that were sleek-looking and had great sound. There was not a dull moment throughout the night thanks to Marcus. We cannot recommend him enough and know you will enjoy working with him as much as we did.

DJ Marcus Ho is the best DJ and one of the best (if not the best) vendor we worked with for our wedding. He was extremely professional, communicative, and played fantastic music. H...
e answered me same day when I had initially started reaching out for DJs and his initial email had a good amount of information I needed, including cost, packages, and other details you are looking for with a DJ. Also, Marcus not only did his DJ duties, but was able to MC as well for us. We weren't looking for an over the top MC - like the ones who do too much on the dance floor. Instead we were looking for someone who was able to make the proper announcements and also keep the hype up, which Marcus was great at!
The whole process of working with Marcus was extremely painless and wonderful. He was very fast with answering emails and addressed any questions we had. We had 2 meetings - 1 initial introduction meeting, which immediately after I knew he was the DJ for us, and a 2nd meeting a few weeks before our big day to discuss details. Marcus provides a worksheet for the couple to fill out with Wedding party details, music picks, etc. It was very detailed and during the 2nd meeting, we discussed it in detail so he is able to ensure that your day goes well. He also above and beyond to contact the venue for our wedding as I believe it was his first time working at our venue. He wanted to make sure that he would be able to set up properly for cocktail hour and reception, and he did so without me having to be involved at all (all I needed to provide was the contact information). Marcus was also able to work on the fly with accommodate a last minute change we had to our wedding and it went off without a hitch. I had emailed him the evening before with the change and on the day, he was 100% able to make sure it was taken care of.
Marcus is not one of those DJs where you give him a list of must plays and he takes them as suggestions. He does his best to play everything that you want played at your wedding. We had so many requests that I was worried not everything was going to be played, but after our 2nd meeting, he ensured us that we could even provide a few more songs, which was fantastic! Right before our wedding, he provided his mix of songs he was going to play for our guest arrival and cocktail hour. All the songs he picked fit the vibe that we were going for. On our wedding day, he played all the songs plus some more that went perfectly along with the songs we requested. He read the room and knew what our guests would love dancing to. We had a ton of fun, and our guests seemed to have as well - all thanks to Marcus immaculately curating the vibes.
DJ Marcus Ho was such a wonderful person to work with and we were extremely glad to have chosen him to DJ/MC our once in a lifetime day. You should definitely use him for your wedding!
PS - One additional detail I did not want to leave out, as it may be important for some people looking for wedding DJ/MCs - initially, we had thought about having a bi-lingual Chinese/English MC and Marcus was able to provide some names he worked with. Ultimately, we did not go with that option, but having the connection was extremely helpful.

tions when we didn’t quite know how we wanted things to go (how does anyone know what they’re doing when planning their first wedding?!). The music was flawlessly executed from guest arrival to the final song of the reception. I can’t tell you how many people commented on the music! The dance floor was packed all night long, so much so that we had late night dessert and I think much of it went uneaten because everyone was having too much fun to leave the dance floor lol. We had a few “unique” moments of our wedding and Marcus not only supported our crazy ideas but implemented them perfectly. Thank you Marcus for making our best day ever unforgettable!

ng the work up to the wedding he was so helpful and had great ideas—he helped us think through and navigate the different transitions in our wedding and figure out what types of music we wanted played. He also worked very well with our band, providing equipment they needed and helping them set up. He is such a pleasure to work with, a true professional, and is a genuinely wonderful person—if you are looking for a DJ you should look no further!!

We hired Marcus Ho to DJ our wedding in NYC and we could not have been more pleased with our experience! From the moment I initially reached out, Marcus has always been quick to re...
spond, answer our questions, and reassure us all is taken care of. He met with us a couple times before the wedding to really understand our vision, our taste in music, the itinerary for the day, etc. He did not leave a single detail uncovered. The day of the wedding, we immediately knew we made the right decision trusting Marcus with entertaining our guests. The music was fantastic, the sound was great, he paid attention to our request of playing some Persian music sets for my husband's family. Guests just raved about our DJ. Thank you Marcus!!

If you want a REAL DJ, packed dance floor and people commenting about the music WEEKS after your wedding, Marcus is your man!
My now husband and I originally bonded over music and...
going to concerts back in the 90s, so having the right DJ for our wedding decades later was a huge priority.
We really wanted a DJ- not a chatty “motivator” or some kid with a few speakers playing the “standard” Long Island wedding mix. Marcus made everything from our first phone call to our last song 100% professional, personal and so much fun!
His music“worksheet” really helped us with have a great time listening to hours of music to let him know what we were (and were not) looking for.
We were pretty specific on songs and artists- awesome stuff, but not necessarily what you usually hear at a wedding and Marcus created a mix that exceeded our expectations.
His cues were spot on, speakers and system were phenomenal & he is genuinely one of the kindest people you could have the pleasure of working with (seriously- he sent us a thank you note right after our event!).
We would hire Marcus again for every event we plan from here out and are excited for everyone else who makes the right decision hiring him too!

morable event like a wedding. Marcus did our cocktail hour, dinner, and reception music - being super open to our requests and suggestions, while helping refine the song selection to make sure each playlist fit the mood. We also appreciated that he was able to adapt on the spot and change the vibe based on the tone in the room.
During the planning process, we felt very heard and Marcus was able to answer any question we had. From explaining his process, to his equipment setup, to working with other vendors, he was a true professional and we had no doubt we would be in good hands. Best of all, our guests had a blast dancing and we had many people talk about how great the music was.

We LOVED working with Marcus for our wedding. During our first call with him, we got a great gut feeling because he has such a kind, warm energy. This turned out to be a spot-on in...
dicator of what it would be like to work with him. We had our final call with him during crunch time before the wedding, and talking through everything with him was so calming because of his vibe as well as his capability - at risk of sounding dramatic, it felt like a port in a storm! And as for that capability - WOW. People came up to us all throughout the wedding to say how awesome the music was, and we have to agree with our guests. We gave Marcus only a handful of must-plays accompanied by an unreasonably lengthy and wide-ranging list of artists and genres we liked. He somehow distilled the perfect collection of songs from this information and created one of those magical nights where you gasp in delight at every single new track. And it wasn't just the WHAT, but the WHEN - he read the energy of the room perfectly and created an ebb and flow throughout the evening that made for the perfect party. He was also amazing on a technical level, working with the friends taking part in our ceremony to set up mics in multiple locations. All in all, it was a true joy to work with Marcus, and we can't recommend him enough!

We were incredibly fortunate and happy to have Marcus as our wedding DJ. From the very beginning, Marcus was attentive to every detail and helped us shape our vision for the music ...
throughout our wedding day. It felt as though he understood our personal tastes and style, and did a great job suggesting and selecting playlists. He even went out of his way to help us edit our first dance song, which was a mashup of several different songs.
Aside from his musical and DJ’ing talent, Marcus is a great emcee. He is very organized, professional, and well prepared – even scoping the venue before the wedding day and discovering that there was going to be a city parade on the day of our wedding that would affect traffic and transportation.
The highlight of the night was the dance floor during the reception. Marcus’s song choices were spot on, and he had everyone dancing the whole night. Many guests told us how awesome the music selection was, and specifically mentioned how Marcus is a great DJ.
If you're looking for a DJ who will elevate your event, Marcus is an easy choice. We can't recommend him highly enough!

arcus took the time to get to know us and he easily understood what we were looking for. He suggested a few songs for the mom and son dance, and the song we ended choosing off the list was perfect. The worksheet and meetings were incredibly thorough and helpful in guiding us through the planning. We even had the honor of meeting his cat over zoom! When we discovered a small issue during the planning process completely unrelated to the music, Marcus offered to help even though it was above and beyond what he signed up for. He is truly kind. Our guests had an absolute blast on the dance floor on the day of the wedding. Lastly, we also rented our photobooth from him and we love the photos that we got to look at right after. We would 100% recommend Marcus and hope we get to stay friends. Thank you so so much for being a part of our day!

Marcus truly livens up the party; from the minute our guests hit the dance floor, he had them hooked. Marcus is a master at reading the room and handles himself well, accepting nec...
essary requests and ignoring those that he knew weren’t what we wanted to hear. Marcus arrived early and worked closely with other vendors to ensure his set up was what he needed to succeed. His vast knowledge of music allowed him to seamlessly transition from genre to genre, pleasing the entire crowd.
Throughout the entire wedding planning process, Marcus demonstrated exceptional professionalism. He quickly responded to any email, made himself available when we wanted to chat on the phone, was flexible when things changed, and most importantly, respected and understood the vision that we had for our reception. The initial worksheet that we prepared with him created the template, but it was his attention to detail that allowed us to have full confidence on the wedding day that it would be exactly what we wanted.
Marcus is a delight and I cannot recommend him enough. With Marcus as your DJ, trust that your guests will dance their socks off and talk about how fun the evening was for weeks.

usic and Marcus KNOCKED IT OUT OF THE PARK. His song choices were incredible, read the room SO well, had the best transitions and catered to the type of music/party we wanted to throw. We had SOO many people ask us the next day what the playlist was for our party, people said it was the best DJ they've ever heard at a wedding!! 100/100 would recommend Marcus to anyone throwing a wedding party or any event on the dance floor. He nailed the cocktail hour music too that just got everyone SUPER hype for the main event. Marcus was THE BEST!!

Great DJ! Great mash ups, songs, getting people to engage. He even took responsibility for a mistake that wasn’t his - our venue (The Briarcliff Manor) purposely messed up our song...
and didn’t play the tape that was preloaded by Marcus - yet it was who Marcus apologized several times because he knew the venue made a big mistake and the venue had ruined our dance. This is an indicator of a person with empathy and compassion and we are so glad we had a genuinely nice person on our side.

Dearest Nancy and David,
Thank you for taking the time out to leave this review. I still ...
feel bad about the limitations of the Venue. There was only so much I could do to overcome some of the challenges and restrictions of the Venue. I thank you so much for understanding. However, I believe your Wedding was a huge hit! Your friends and family looked like they were thrilled and full of love to witness your Union. And the reception and dance party went on without a hitch and was a huge success.
Thank you again for the opportunity to serve you two.
Best Wishes,
Marcus

We hired Marcus as our DJ for our wedding just this past May. From beginning to end, he was responsive and collaborative when it came to creating a playlist for every moment of our...
big day. We even requested a couple of Vietnamese and Italian pop songs and he came through! He also, unlike some DJs, will put in the time to mix the songs together for smooth transitions as opposed to just playing songs off of Spotify, while being adaptive by expertly reading the crowd's energy. Would highly recommend hiring Marcus for any party, not just weddings!
