Our dance floor was FULL all night with people singing and dancing because Mark did such an amazing job! We also have some hilarious photos from the magic mirror photobooth that wa...

Easily our favorite vendor we booked!!! Mark and his wife Maddy have been so friendly and great the whole process. We couldn't wait until wedding day to party with them! We added i...
n the photobooth and lighting package and those both were so necessary!! Our guests used the photobooth all night long and loved it. I had a guest book where they would tape in the photostrip and write a note next to it - it turned out amazing and the perfect memory to always be able to look back on!
I am STILL receiving compliments from our guests (of all ages!) about how great the music was! Mark killed it and definitely knows how to 'read the room', keep the dance floor crowded, and still play the bride/groom's favorite songs! It was truly a party that I didn't want to end!
Our friend booked them for their DJ for this year and we can't wait for their wedding to experience the party again!

within the same day, anticipated my detailed questions close to the event, arrived early, had an exquisite setup and delivered exceptional quality music. They are both also very friendly, which made it easy to communicate with and discuss even the smallest details. The photo booth experience was outstanding with Maddie. Our guest have still not stopped talking about it. They truly made our wedding a memorable one. 10/10 would recommend them for your wedding.
Mike had our dance floor packed all night!

ow husband cause he wasn't able to dance to his favorite song, and I LOVED IT!! Their communication was great! There was even an issue with a third party vendor that attempted to make our templates for the mirror pictures and Mark was soooo communicative and helpful with us and my coordinator that it made it feel seam less! I could never thank them enough for making this celebration that much better!!
We had our wedding last month and WOW are we so thankful for Mark Aria Entertainment! Everything was perfect! He had everyone out on the dance floor all night! The Photo Booth was ...
a huge hit as well. Wonderful people who just happen to be EXTREMELY talented at what they do. Highly recommend!
We celebrated our wedding last November and Mark was our DJ. He was so great and professional and asked us in advance of our music selections. So we were able to send him our Spoti...
fy playlist for the cocktail hour and dancing portion of the night. When the reception came, he played with the crowd. Our family and friends love to dance and sing and looking back at videos, it looked like everyone enjoyed themselves because of the music. We had the traditional Filipino money dance and Mark was great in explaining it to family members that were not familiar with it. We also had a big military presence at our wedding and I thought it was fitting to hear the Top Gun’s anthem. The crowd went with it! Overall, from the start of our first dance, to our last dance, we had so much fun celebrating our wedding with Mark. Looking back at our photos, it looked like Mark had a great time too! Highly recommend this service for your wedding!
Mark was the DJ and Maddie did the Photo Booth at my daughters wedding and we couldn’t of chosen better people. I don’t think the dance floor was empty all night and so many loved ...

helpful and the pictures turned out perfectly! We got to customize the photo strip, they had a ton of great props and they provided digital prints so we can keep these memories forever. Thank you again to the Mark Aria Entertainment team. Highly recommend :)
The entire Mark Aria staff is absolutely wonderful. From Mark and Maddy handling all the details up front, to Andrew and the day of staff - couldn't be a better team to work with....
They kept the dance floor bumping all night long and even made my teenage dreams come true with an emo power hour. The photobooth was a huge hit and is one of my favorite physical things from the wedding. Hire them to make sure your guests have a fantastic time!
Mark & Maddy were fabulous to work with from start to finish. The DJ brings the party so this vendor selection was very important to us as we had 90% of our wedding guests travelin...
g from out of town. We wanted to show them a great time and Mark & Maddy did just that! They were responsive to our messages and questions, met with us via ZOOM at our request, and provided us with suggestions for our entrance songs. We also hired them for our photo booth. Maddy suggested we use a guest book to hold all the pictures taken in the photo booth and I am so glad we did! We will have these photos to look back on for years to come. If you are looking for a professional company to bring the party, I absolutely recommend Mark Aria Entertainment!
I am still so thankful to have found this company and used them for our big day! Mark and his wife were extremely helpful and communicative during booking. Flexible when we decided...
to add more time to our reception. We used their DJ who is also an officiant to officiate our ceremony. Andres is amazing!!! He was helpful and creative with our ceremony, readings, and vows. The ceremony had a perfect flow, he made sure our guests knew where to be, his high energy reflected into our guests during introductions, all of the activities during the reception were flawless, I really can’t say enough. Would recommend this company and Andres to anyone in the area! Thank you guys again!!
Mark, his wife, and their team were absolutely incredible! They blew away our expectations. The dance floor was packed and their was a line at the photo booth all night. Our weddin...
g was perfect!
This company was highly recommended by our wedding planner and after speaking at length with the company (although our assigned DJ remained very quiet on the call; should have been...
our first warning!), we were excited for our big day. Unfortunately, the DJ (Andrew) was awful. There were MANY unforgivable mistakes; our recessional song was delayed, so we stood at the altar waiting for it to play; he started announcing the next bridal party member before the previous one had even gotten to the dance floor (and they each planned a little dance which was ruined by announcement of the next person), my father-daughter dance song stopped mid-song; there was often a delay between the end of one song and the beginning of another; he played "dance" music during dinner, to which I marched up to him and explained this was an inappropriate time for such music. He was completely mono-tone and no one could understand OR hear him on the microphone. My bridal party, sadly, made fun of him all night. He had NO personality on the mic and DID NOT get the guests involved AT ALL. He basically played music, poorly, all night. Yes, we all danced to our favorite songs but he was not entertainment. My iphone and a playlist would have done just as well. My wedding planner even considered calling the company mid-wedding to complain. After the event, we had a conference call with the DJ company and my wedding planner but all I got were excuses and apologies. WE DID NOT GET WHAT WE PAID FOR and the company did not offer any sort of refund for services, that we truly believe, were not rendered. I warn against using this company or at the very least, against using Andrew. Communication is key. I thought may of these things would have been obvious for a wedding DJ (don't play dance music at dinner, wait for bridal parties to do their little dance intro...) but it was not. Every minute needs to be explained and planned and we left it up to the professional DJ, which was a HUGE mistake.
I can't recommend Mark Aria Entertainment enough. My husband and I hired Mark Aria Entertainment for our wedding in July and Marcus and Maddy did an incredible job! We gave Marcus ...
all the control on the music and he did a fantastic job keeping our guests on the dance floor all night. The photo booth was a great addition that our guests loved!
Hire the team for a fun time! Mark and Maddy are so incredibly nice and patient and make sure they get to know you before your wedding, which is really important because music is t...
he MOST important part of your wedding day! They're also very reasonably priced for what they offer (e.g. photobooth services)
Mark worked with me to make sure we had a fun EDM wedding. The photobooth was also super cool and the guests loved it. And as a bonus, Maddy was doing some nice IG coverage on the wedding, so I was able to walk away with some really cute photos/videos of our night :)
From the beginning to the end, Marcus was AWESOME. Professional, answered every question I had. My husband Dan’s I are from different cultures and we were big on making sure that w...
e had a mixture of music and the DJ assigned to us was DJ Andres and he did GREAT. Threw some salsa, bachata, good ol’ country by George Strait and everything in between. Everyone loved the music which makes the bride happy!! Thank you !!!
Mark Aria Entertainment was hands down the best team to work with. They were very responsive from the beginning to the end. We needed a DJ and an officiant and we were fortunate t...
hat they had someone on their team that did both.
No words can express how grateful we are that Andres was our officiant and DJ!!!
What a wonderful person to perform our ceremony. It was exactly what we wanted. He was on point with the timeline we provided, played great music and kept the dance floor moving. Our friends and family are still talking about how energetic the dance floor was! We were glad to have him celebrate with us.
You have to have this team at your event!!!!!! We had the pleasure of meeting Mark and Maddy at my sisters wedding shortly after we got engaged. We immediately booked their DJ serv...
ices and photo booth afterwards and it was the BEST time we could’ve ever imagined. So many guests complimented the photo booth and the super cool attendant that had everyone smiling and laughing nonstop! Mark had everyone dancing and on their feet. My husband has repeatedly told me that seeing me (drunkenly *try to DJ) behind the booth with Mark was one of his favorite moments of the celebration! It truly was the most FUN we have ever had all thanks to them! Thank you thank you thank you!
Mark and his team were amazing! People kept complimenting us on our wedding music! They were also so sweet at the wedding to both my husband and myself!
Choosing Mark Aria Entertainment for my wedding was one of the best decisions I made during the planning process! The team was so kind, prompt, and attentive throughout the process...
leading up to my wedding day. They offered advice for song choices and even secured a photo booth for us last minute (which was a huge hit)! Our guests had such an awesome time dancing the night away due to Mark and his fantastic team!
Hiring Mark Aria was the BEST decision we did for our wedding. I talked to him for less than 10 mins on the phone the week of and he picked up on me & my husband's vibe so well. ...
All of the songs he played were total bangers & exactly what I would want to be played. (And I never even made a playlist of suggested songs). The guests all had a ton of fun & the night was perfect!!
He also is super easy to work with and makes the ceremony music & song choices for garter toss, cake cutting and the other standard wedding traditions super easy.
Also - definitely suggest doing the photo booth. You can package it all in for a super reasonable price & the guests love it. You also have hilarious priceless photos you can save
Mark was fantastic. He did our ceremony music and Magic Mirror photo booth. The ceremony music was perfectly executed and the Magic Mirror was a huge hit. Mark was incredibly kind ...
and professional throughout the entire process. Probably the most well spent money in our wedding budget! Look no further and hire Mark.
Marcus was absolutely amazing. He kept the dance floor grooving all night long with a great mix of music. The photo booth was also a hit and Maddy did a great job with it and keepi...
ng up with all our crazy guests. They are super quick at responding to emails and really great with meeting or having phone calls when it is convenient for you. 100% would recommend them to everyone!
We were lucky enough to work with both Mark and Maddy and they were fantastic. Not only was Mark an amazing DJ and made my family dance the entire night but he also officiated our ...
beautiful ceremony. The atmosphere he creates is so fun and upbeat and I couldn’t have asked for anyone better for the job.
I can say with full confidence that Marcus and Maddy have become two of my favorite people in the world!! They did absolutely everything in their power to make sure we had the perf...
ect day twice (thanks COVID)!! Marcus is an incredible DJ and will make sure you and your guests have a night that they will always remember!! Maddy is the kindest person imaginable and made our photo booth something that our guests still rave about months later!! I cannot fathom a better team and I am forever grateful to them for making our day(s) absolutely unforgettable!!!
Mark and his wife kept the party until the venue kicked us out. The photobooth was a big hit at our wedding and the dancefloor was packed the whole night.
Mark was so awesome! We loved having him as our DJ, I would recommend them to anyone and everyone looking for a DJ! He played the best music, everyone was dancing, we even saw some...

We have absolutely zero regrets about pur wedding, especially with choosing Mark Aria Entertainment to DJ!! He was amazing, thoughtful, and easy-going! Everything was perfectly tim...
ed and flowed with ease. My cousin actually recommended him for my wedding because every event that she has been to that he DJed had been wonderful. I am grateful that she did because he kept us all on the dancefloor! All off our guests told us that they had never seen such a relaxed bride and groom and it is really thanks to Mark and his crew! We all danced so much and it was unbelievably perfect!! He made our night unforgettable!
Planning a wedding was fun but overwhelming, however, Mark and has team made the DJ’ing aspect completely pain free and delivered an excellent experience for our wedding. The best ...
parts about working with Mark and his team were:
Great Communication- They we’re proactive in communicating and took the time to understand the needs I had for the wedding.
Pricing Options- They offered a good variety of packages at different prices. I felt like a I got a lot for my dollar which is always nice.
Hassle Free- From signing the contract to setting up and DJ’ing our wedding every aspect of dealing with Mark and his team was painless.

ng the growth of their business on social media. I saw countless videos of wedding parties and guests having an absolute blast and we couldn’t wait to bring that exciting energy to our big day. They played music for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception and provided party lighting and uplifting to enhance our space and get people on the floor! Marcus also MCed throughout the reception so guests were engaged and knew what was happening when. Everyone had so much fun and we were so thankful to have them on our big day!
