We had an amazing experience working with Matty & Nestor from start to finish! The planning process was smooth, communication was great, and everything came together perfectly on our wedding day. DJ Nestor was absolutely fantastic, and the music was one of the highlights of the night. The song selection was perfect, the energy was incredible, and the dance floor was so much fun. We were having such a great time that we actually booked an additional hour on the spot because we didn’t want the music to stop! We’re still getting compliments from our guests about the music.
We couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out and are so grateful for the role the team played in making our wedding so special. We would absolutely recommend MD Music to any couple looking for a team that is professional, organized, and genuinely invested in making their wedding an incredible experience!

If you’re looking for entertainment for your wedding, LOOK NO FURTHER than MD Music and Entertainment!! They absolutely knocked it out of the park, and we cannot rave about them enough!
From the very beginning, Matty was incredible to work with. He was so patient, accommodating, and helpful throughout the entire planning process, and his team truly went above and beyond to make everything perfect!
Dean and Devin, our guitarists/singers, were OUTSTANDING! They are both unbelievably talented, and we lost count of how many compliments we received from our guests! DJ Brian was just as amazing! He was so kind, attentive, and made sure everything flowed flawlessly throughout our reception. He walked us through every moment, kept our timeline on track, and made it so easy for us to just enjoy our day. The Photo Booth was also a MASSIVE hit with our guests!
Every single person we worked with was phenomenal. The talent, professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care this team puts into what they do is unmatched. They exceeded every expectation we had, and we genuinely couldn’t imagine our wedding weekend without them. One of the BEST decisions we made for our wedding, hands down! We would recommend them a million times over!

ade the announcements so easy for us. I asked him to play a song called “Shake It” it was a surprise for my Bridesmaid I’ve known since college and When she heard it she immediately grabbed me and we danced like crazy. These are the memories you’re going to remember from your event. The amazing music your DJ plays that surprises and fills your guests with joy. My husband and I both love music and going to concerts so our playlist was more older hits and songs from concerts we’ve gone to. Everything was wonderful. The photo booth was great. Who doesn’t love a Photo Booth? Matty thank you for everything. Can’t wait to book you again for another event!

nd I are big music people and if the music wasn’t right for our wedding, would’ve been very disappointed. DJ Brian seemlessly created a playlist with songs we selected that had the party going from start to finish until we closed down the venue. He was also very personable and just a kind person. This is what I would hope for anyone looking for a DJ for their wedding. You won’t be disappointed using MD Music especially if you get DJ Brian!!

My dad wanted a mash up of 2 songs for the father/daughter dance and they were able to produce it with a quick turnaround. We had the BEST night and didn't stop dancing for a minute. We cannot recommend them enough!
(Only note, but so minor, we received the wrong photo booth backdrop and wrong version of our photo booth strip. So would recommend double checking this before the wedding.)

uests would be interested in listening to at our wedding. Leading up to our wedding, he made sure to check in with us and have a thorough call to discuss all the fine details. As people who have never had a wedding before, he gave us great advice about ceremony and reception details and timing that really helped us! But where Matty really shines is on the wedding day. We received so many compliments from our guests about the music and atmosphere, and it was really Matty who cultivated that. He honored the songs that we added to the app, but also made them more danceable. The dance floor was full all night! On top of his talent, he really is just the nicest vendor to work with. You could tell that he was just as excited to celebrate us as our guests were, and that was so meaningful to us both.
10/10 would recommend, you will absolutely not regret it!

re every detail of our entertainment was covered and always keeping in touch along the way. Matty’s passion shines through his work, and our wedding wouldn’t have been the same without him! Not only was Matty the DJ for our reception, but he also helped us coordinate live music for our ceremony and cocktail hour, as well as a live saxophonist to play alongside Matty’s DJing during the reception. It was a fun and unique touch that our guests loved—the energy was incredible, and it really elevated the vibe of the night.
Matty also provided a photobooth, which was a huge hit! Overall, Matty went above and beyond to make sure our wedding was perfect, and the music and entertainment were seamless throughout the event. If you’re looking for a talented DJ who can offer personalized touches and keep the party going, we highly recommend MD Music & Entertainment for sure!

y, and professionalism, making him an easy choice among other vendors. He filled our wedding with fun, excitement, and unforgettable moments. MDMusic was a one-stop shop for all our entertainment needs: providing musicians and microphones for our ceremony and cocktail hour, while also bringing in uplights and DJ lights that set the perfect mood for our reception. Matty’s DJ skills were on point! He expertly handled our vision for the music, ensuring every moment was perfectly timed. He even went so far as to create a custom song mashup for a bride/MOB dance!
What really stood out was how Matty went above and beyond to make sure all of our guests in our multicultural wedding were included and entertained. He particularly helped our Muslim guests, who were initially hesitant to dance. We came to him with a big ask, and he more than delivered. From an air hockey table that brought joy to the younger guests, to a dance floor saxophonist and electric violinist that absolutely wowed everyone—MDMusic had something entertaining for everyone. Thanks to their efforts, even those who were initially unsure about dancing felt welcomed and joined in. Matty gave us a true gift, creating memories that will last a lifetime!

We couldn’t recommend hiring Matty from MD Music & Entertainment more! On a recommendation from our wedding planner, we hired Matty as our DJ and MC for our wedding this past July ...
2024 at Gather Greene in Coxsackie, NY. Upon our first meeting we knew Matty was the perfect fit for us. He was extremely professional, enthusiastic, experienced, welcoming, reassuring and kind throughout our entire process. Matty welcomes any vision you have for your day, like our Italian-pop inspired cocktail hour. He also provides such insight and experience in decision making, he helped us with looping our special instrumental processional song to accommodate any unpredictable delays, which came in handy when we had to walk down the aisle in the rain! Using the streamlined app Matty provided us with, we curated customized prelude, cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing music which Matty honored while enhancing each part of the night with his vast library of songs and mixes. He prioritized the “flow” of the evening and everyone was on the dance floor the entire night. When MC-ing he kept everything classy and professional. Matty was one of our vendors we had absolutely “no worries” about during the entire process. If you want a DJ that provides lots of experience, keen social-awareness, professionalism, along with a non-judgemental, reassuring and excitable demeanor in your wedding planning process, look no further than Matty!

Matty was perfect in his execution- never stealing the spotlight from the bride and groom and he didn’t sing and shout over the music which we appreciated! (That has a time and place but not for this wedding). He pulled together instrumentals for the ceremony and managed the artists and added musicians at the reception and it really brought out the celebratory vibe of the night. We were all smiles and many and he was too! Amazing job! Hire him asap or you will miss out:)

s able to bridge them together beautifully on our wedding day! He hired musicians to perform at our ceremony that played a beautiful rendition of a song by Odesza and a lesser known John Legend song. The music for cocktail hour was exactly what we wanted and he gave us the playlist, which we love listening to! Finally, for our reception, Matty delivered exactly what we asked for which was a fun dance party that had our guests on their feet throughout the entire night! I don’t think I ever left the dance floor except to cut our wedding cake! In addition to the music, Matty was a great emcee and did a great job of being the host for the night.
I also really enjoyed the planning process with Matty. We used an app to put in the music we wanted for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and dancing and I think Matty did a perfect job of translating our selections there into the playlist for the wedding day. I cannot recommend Matty highly enough and you should not hesitate to choose him to DJ your wedding or any other event!

Our wedding day was May 4th, 2024, so we definitely wanted to embrace the Star Wars nod. On our first zoom call with Matty, he had a Star Wars light on his wall above him. That was...
our first sign. Talking with Matty was so effortless. We honestly had no idea what the process looked like finding a wedding DJ. Matty answered all of our questions and asked us questions of his own to find out what our vision was. We knew after our call together, Matty was the one for us. He is so knowledgeable about music and timing. We know we love music but we needed an expert to put all of our favorite artists together in a way that made sense.
Matty executed this perfectly. He gives his couples access to an app to add any songs they would like to hear. This made the process so much less stressful. You’re listening to the radio, hear a song, open the app and add it. Amazing. Two weeks before the wedding, we chatted about everything we had entered and the timeline of the wedding day. After that conversation we felt so good. He knew exactly what we wanted and we felt like we were in the best hands.
Our wedding day music went so smoothly. It was soft and subtle when it needed to be and an absolute blast the rest of the night. It felt like our personal playlist shared with our loved ones. Matty is a true expert at what he does and we are so grateful to of had him for our big day.

Dre was amazing!!! He truly listened to everything we wanted and delivered. My husband and I had a song list that was all over the map and somehow Dre was able to take us from Abba...
to Creed and make it sound intentional. It was awesome. He really listened to us and picked up on our vibe… he even played a random song I reposted on IG joking with a friend that we’d dance to it at my wedding. That was a cool moment and showed that he pays attention and genuinely cares about his couples. Dre stayed on schedule and moved the evening along perfectly without being overbearing on the mic. During the planning process, we corresponded mostly with Matty and can’t say enough good things about him either - he checked in with us (unprompted) multiple times in the months leading up which took a huge burden off of us. We were able to load our song choices into an app which made everything easy.

People were dancing the entire time and people of all ages had an awesome experience. We were so happy with how the night went - DJs can really make or break the ceremony and reception and he knocked it out of the park.

as a pleasure to work with from the planning, touch and go leading up to the event, and through the reception. We didn't have a wedding planner to manage vendors, so the clear description, steps and timelines that Matty provided was extremely appreciative during all the other planning, work, and general life stressors we had going on. Speaking with him felt natural, unforced, but also focused to get through necessary milestones. We went into our reception knowing that our friends and family would love to dance, but the flow Matty kept going, it was hard for anyone to stop! The blend between oldies and new age, salsa and slow dances - my wife and I listen to these songs again and they have new meaning and memories to us. We couldn't have hoped for a better track to celebrate our day and better person to work with than Matty.

If you are looking for a DJ, hire Matty and don’t look back. You will be so happy you did. Our experience with Matt was unbelievable from start to finish. Matt was incredibly re...
sponsive and even proactive in his communication with us, beginning well before our wedding. He provided an app that was simple and easy to use which allowed us to not only give him the specific songs we wanted played, but also give an overall sense of what we wanted played at our wedding. As we got closer to our date, we had a pre-wedding zoom meeting where Matt’s experience and professionalism came through as he immediately understood what we wanted for our wedding and gave us the best recommendations to accomplish it. He also made it extremely easy to coordinate two live instruments to play during guest arrival and our ceremony. On our day, Matt was everything he presented himself as. He made everything seamless while creating the exact mood and vibe we wanted for our wedding. The amount of guests that have complimented him both on our wedding day and since has become too many to count. He is not only amazing at his job, but a pleasure to deal with. Thank you DJ Matty, for helping make our wedding day perfect.

DJ Matty was absolutely incredible and definitely a top highlight from our wedding. So many of our guests could not stop complimenting how amazing our DJ was - and we couldn’t agre...
e more. People were still talking about it the next morning at breakfast! Every single song Matty played was great and had our guests on the dance floor all night long! Seeing the energy on the dance floor that night was absolutely incredible and all thanks to Matty and the amazing custom set he put together for us. He totally nailed the vibe we were going for and captured all the generational music that made guests of all ages happy and wanting to dance. It was such a pleasure getting to work with Matty and using the music app he provided that was so much fun, and easy, for planning. Matty was such a pleasure to work with throughout the planning process - he is professional and quick to respond to our emails and questions. As a bride planning my own wedding, I truly appreciated knowing I could count on my vendor to respond quickly. Additionally, the uplighting we rented through Matty was gorgeous and helped make the room really pop. Everything was simply perfect! DJ Matty is a true talent and we will be forever grateful! If you’re planning a wedding and contemplating hiring DJ Matty - do it! You won’t regret it!

Matty is hands down the best wedding DJ my wife or I have ever encountered, and we have been to a lot of weddings. He is so kind and professional, and pleasant to work with. But mo...
st importantly, he has a great understanding of music and an equally brilliant ability to read the room/dance floor.
One cool thing Matty offers is an app on which the wedding couple can create playlists of songs they like. We took advantage of this and, in our meeting a few weeks before the wedding, he told us he thought he had a good sense of our vibe. We were a little skeptical because we have very different tastes in music, but he proved us wrong, and put it to good use. The dance floor was packed the entire night, and both of us loved every song he played, even though he played songs we had not included on the app. We had a huge range of ages and backgrounds at our wedding and the majority of our guests were on the dance floor the entire time. We hardly have any pictures from our friends because they were too busy dancing.
The day after the wedding, we received this text from one of our most judgmental friends: "By the way... not sure how you found that DJ but he was amazing! Not a bad song all night." This is generally representative of the comments we received from friends and family alike.
We really cannot recommend DJ Matty enough. He will not disappoint.
Response from MD Music & Entertainment
Thank you both for the lovely words. It truly made my day to see this review. And I was ...
cracking up about the "judgmental friend"-- I'm so glad I won them over!!!
Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness. Let's find another reason to celebrate together soon!

We absolutely LOVED working with Matty as our wedding DJ! It was super important to us for our wedding weekend to bring together western and Indian cultural traditions in new ways ...
that felt true to us as a couple, and Matty helped us do that in ways we never thought possible — for us, that meant creating a non-traditional Indian baraat, and seamlessly incorporating everything from hip hop, to Bollywood & bhangra, to Abba, and beyond. Our friends and family couldn’t stop raving about the music all night, and I couldn’t have left the dance floor even if I wanted to! He took our song selects to another level with his transitions, timing, and final picks.
Not only was the music incredible throughout all parts of our wedding day, but Matty was so much fun to work with leading up to the wedding and we loved hanging out with him the day-of. He was an awesome MC, and he even checked in with us a few times throughout the reception to make sure we were feeling good about schedules and song choices (not that we ever had any complaints because everything was perfect!). His DJ setup also looks super sleek, and the uplighting and photo booth he and his team provided were awesome as well!
Thank you for the happiest day ever, Matty!

Matty is the best!! If you’re reading this, you should go ahead and book him now. There is a reason he’s basically the resident DJ at The Roundhouse in Beacon. He is an amazing DJ,...
and a genuine and extremely kind guy. He was prompt in answering any questions we had throughout the planning process, and went above and beyond in helping edit our first dance song down prior to our wedding day. He helped the day run seamlessly and checked in from time to time on how we were doing, which was greatly appreciated. We added on the photo booth his company provides and were very happy we did. An attendant assisted guests with putting their photos in the guestbook and signing, and we ended up with a full book we will be able to look back on for years to come. Most importantly, Matty knows how to read the room and keep the dance floor packed - we got so many compliments on the music from all generations. There is a true art to how he brought us from the ceremony music to the last song of the night. We couldn’t recommend him and MD Music more!

DJ Andy Merlino from MD Music & Entertainment did AMAZING work at our wedding this past weekend. Starting at the beginning - my daydream of walking down the aisle to a very unique ...
song came to life and it was one of the most special moments of the day. Seriously, it was even better than I pictured it in my head. The ceremony itself went off without a hitch, the audio was perfect for all the guests even in the not so glamorous patio setup on a stormy day. Then during cocktail hour and reception, all of the transitions and music queues went perfectly. The cherry on top of it all was a *PERFECT* reception where we partied til the end of the night - and then some!! Even after the last song, our guests wanted to keep going and DJ Andy gave us all the perfect send off when he played just ONE MORE SONG!!! What a special night for us. Thank you so, so so much - I can't sing his praises enough. Thanks to Matty, too, for connecting us with Andy and putting us in such great hands. We are really pleased with everything and will be recommending MD Music and DJ Andy to everyone we know.
