Working with Matty from MD Music & Entertainment to bring our vision to life was a breeze and so fun! From the start, he was so professional and easy to communicate with, making sure 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!

Matty and Brian were incredible throughout the process! We loved getting to add our favorite songs to the playlist prior to the wedding and how DJ Brian ended up using them. Our dance floor was full the entire night. Would 100% recommend to anyone getting married in the NYC area!

I cannot stress this enough, every person I've spoken to during and after the wedding absolutely LOVED your set for our wedding. You were perfect, we are so happy to have worked with you! The music, the help with the speeches, and the photo booth made our day so seamless and everything we could've imagined. You played all our favorites, the perfect mix of the oldies and the new hits, all the genres we love and your mixes were EVERYTHING! I'm so excited to see all the different photos taken at the booth!

Booking Matty to DJ your wedding is a MUST!!!! We loved working with him for our September 2024 wedding. It was a pleasure to work with from our first intro call up until our wedding day. He's very professional, communicative, and made sure our guests had the best time. We added on a percussionist as well which I highly recommend to have something a little more interactive with guests. Matty had an app which made it super simple to add all songs for every part of the day, he offered us a lot of advice throughout the process, and along with that, he made a remix for my father-daughter dance. Everyone was dancing the night away and didn't want to stop! Highly recommend working with Matty for your wedding!

We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding entertainment experience than the one Matty provided. From the moment we first connected with him, we loved his upbeat energy, positivity, 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!
(P.S. the blurry pics are evidence of a GOOD time on the dance floor!)

DJ Matty was absolutely incredible! He made our entire wedding day run so smoothly, working seamlessly with all of our other vendors to ensure everything went perfectly—all while keeping a big smile on his face. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the music! He mixed all the different genres we requested flawlessly, making sure there was something for everyone to enjoy. The photo booth was also a huge hit—there wasn’t a moment when it wasn’t being used! For any future event where I need a DJ, Matty will definitely be my first call!

Incredible top notch experience working with Matty. He was extremely professional, easy to work with, and most of all we really valued his expertise regarding what songs to play (based on our inspiration) and even reception logistics. He had the party bumping all night and made it such a special wedding for us. He is also an incredibly nice, calm individual who brought great vibes when we interacted with him throughout what was a stressful day. We cannot recommend him enough.

We felt very confident when we hired DJ Matty to DJ our September 2024 wedding that he and his team would be amazing, but we have to say, they exceeded our expectations. My husband and I received multiple comments throughout and since our event that DJ Matty was the best wedding DJ they had seen. The dance floor was packed from start to finish! He did an excellent job incorporating and building upon our song requests to keep the energy level high. Matty also did a great job keeping enthusiasm up and directing the flow of the night without being intrusive. We would recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking for a DJ for their event!

DJ Matty was absolutely amazing! Working with DJ Matty was so seamless. He was super responsive throughout the whole wedding planning process and did everything to make sure we had a perfect night. Everyone we spoke to couldn't stop talking about how great the playlist was and how much fun they had on the dance floor! Every time they thought about leaving the dance floor, Matty would put on another hit and they couldn’t resist dancing more. My husband and I didn’t leave the dancefloor the whole night! We're so grateful to DJ Matty for bringing our vision to life and couldn’t recommend him more as a wedding DJ!

DJ Matty was excellent to work with in the planning phase and was great at understanding out vision for the event. DJ Brian, our actual DJ for the wedding, was so great and professional. His sound setup was excellent and never too loud and he understood the vibe of each space perfectly. The team really met our needs exactly as we needed them to.

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!

From our first meeting I know Matty would be the perfect fit. He is super kind and incredibly professional. He led us through the wedding process with ease and smiles. He listened to our requests and added his own magic which I knew he would do. The dance floor was packed!!
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:)

Everything day of was perfect, and we are still receiving compliments from our guests about how incredible the DJ was. He kept the dance floor moving all night and we’re telling all of our friends when they get engaged to book him so we get to party with him again. Don’t hesitate to work with Matty!

Matty from MD Music & Entertainment rocked our wedding! He was on point with everything from start to finish. Super professional and easy to communicate with throughout the planning process. He totally understood our vibe and made sure the music was exactly what we wanted.
On the big day, Matty kept the party going non-stop. Seriously, there wasn't a moment when the dance floor wasn't packed. And those live drummer and saxophone additions during the reception? Incredible. People are still talking about how awesome it was.
Overall, Matty and MD Music & Entertainment nailed it. If you want a DJ who knows how to keep the energy up and make your event unforgettable, Matty's your guy. Highly recommend!

I can't say enough good things about our experience with Matty. He was so kind, professional, and caring throughout the whole process. He has an amazing vibe, which was exactly what we were looking for, especially since he was also our MC/announcer. From the start, Matty set up a few calls to chat about our vision for the wedding day. He listened to our ideas and gave great advice on things we weren't sure about.
Matty was super flexible and was open to our last-minute changes (which I really appreciate). We even added an Hora Loca, which was new to him, but he handled it perfectly. The night was a dream!
Our guests also spoke highly of him, saying what a great DJ he was. Matty's energy kept the party going and made our wedding day so special. We're so grateful for everything he did and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding DJ.

We hired Matty for our wedding at Blue Hill at Stone Barns and he was absolutely amazing! My wife and I have very different music tastes (80s-2000s pop and electronic) and Matty was 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.

Matt was absolutely incredible for our wedding. The whole process of working with him is awesome. He's super organized and professional. He has an app where you can upload songs that you'd like to be played at different points in the night. In addition to DJ services, he also offers great add-ons like a guitarist who played at our ceremony (he was also amazing), a photobooth, and lighting. So it's very one stop shop for these important details that really make the wedding special. On the day of, he did an excellent job managing the energy of the crowd. 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.

I cannot stress enough how much my wife and I loved working with Matty for DJ services. Aside from being the most prompt and responsive that we had requested quotes from, Matty was 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 responsive 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 agree 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 most 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 on 10/12/2023
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.

We hired DJ Dre for our wedding last weekend and he did a phenomenal job! He accommodated all of our requests and did a great job MC'ing our reception. He came early and was really on top of everything to make the wedding go smoothly. Speeches, toasts, dance party, etc. he got everyone on the dance floor - even relatives we didn't even know had the moves! Going into the wedding, he was a great communicator who even sent us footage of previous weddings he did in our venue to show us optimal set-ups and positioning. Overall, DJ Dre provided a fantastic experience and we would highly recommend hiring him and Matty for your upcoming event!

Matty is an incredible DJ! Music is a huge deal to us and all our friends, so we wanted to find the perfect person that would understand the vibe we were going for. We had been to weddings in the past where the music really brought down the event and the DJ would keep interrupting. From start to finish, Matty was amazing and helped us put a timeline together for the event as this is something we were unsure about. He gave us great advice and was always responsive. Matty is not only incredibly talented at his job, but such a nice and warm person. He immediately made us feel comfortable upon meeting him and is very professional. He worked with our venue to ensure all went perfect on the day of. His timing for songs, the way he edited songs to fade and mashup, and his announcements were all perfect. Every day since our wedding, I have wished we could do it all over again. I have photos to back this up but everyone at our wedding ended up being on the dance floor as he catered to all generations and made it so much fun. Our cocktail hour was also perfect! So many of our friends/family members have requested a Spotify playlist of the music that day and commented on how amazing and fluid the DJ was. I trust 100% that his entire team at MD Music is amazing and if you are still looking for a DJ please stop and hire Matty & his team. You will not find someone better!

Matty was an absolutely incredible DJ. We had a pretty specific vision for our wedding and have eclectic taste in music - from the Grateful Dead to Lizzo to Beyoncé to The Rolling Stones - and Matty incorporated it all beautifully. Our guests told us they had never heard better music at a wedding, and the dance floor was never empty. And beyond that, Matty was absolutely lovely to work with. He challenged us where we needed editing for ~the vibe~ and every single one of his suggestions was right. Everyone from my parents to my party people friends was happy. As avid music fans, we cannot recommend Matty more highly.

We chose MD Music to be the DJ for our wedding. Matty was our contact from the beginning and our DJ for the day of. His experience, professionalism, and attention to detail was clear from the beginning. When reviewing our music suggestions, he asked all the right questions to better understand our music tastes and to align on how we envisioned certain songs to be played. Matty was incredibly responsive and helpful when answering any questions. He worked hand in hand with our wedding planners to ensure our wedding went perfectly.
On the day of, Matty absolutely knocked it out of the park! He respected our music choices and honored the vibe we were going for. Plus, the way he included additional songs really up-leveled my original music selection. Matty's transitions from song to song were perfect. He managed the room excellently and catered to all different generations on the dance floor. Our guests had a tremendous time and we must thank Matty for that!
Honestly, could not pick a better DJ for our wedding! MD Music and Matty did an excellent job. Highly recommended!!!

MD Music was the perfect choice for our wedding! From our first email with him, Matty was absolutely awesome to work with. He was truly so professional and so helpful, answered every question we had, and was obviously extremely experienced and knowledgeable about his business.
DJ Michael was the DJ the night of our wedding and was also seriously the best! From our call with him before the wedding we were already confident that he had a good handle on our crowd and would do an awesome job, but he genuinely knocked it out of the park. Every single guest I’ve spoken to has said ours was the best wedding they have been to—and any picture of the dance floor from our wedding night would attest to that. From the minute our first dance ended to the end of the night the entire crowd was up, singing, dancing, and having the best time ever. We didn’t give a lot of song suggestions because we wanted to leave room for Michael to feel out our crowd and see where the night went, and we really just could not have asked for better. He also picked the absolute perfect vibe for pre-ceremony, cocktail hour, and dinner.
Genuinely the BEST DJ company!

Absolutely awesome experience with Matty. He is a consummate professional and music DJ master. He made our wedding planning process simple by getting every detail right. He made the mashups perfect, incorporating many foreign and multi genre tunes and beats. Additionally, coordinated for additional services including photobooth and Sax. Hire DJ Matty he will not disappoint!

Matt and his team recently worked our wedding in New York. Even through we were from the city, we had moved to California and so were planning remotely which was stressful. Matt was the most organized vendor we worked with throughout the process. Not only did he have the tools to communicate and a calendar already set up to help us map the day, but he was easy to talk to and a pleasure throughout. My husband and I loved using his app to map out the music for the day as well. It made it a fun bonding exercise rather than a chose. During the day itself, Matt was our MC and the adult that kept things moving. His staff was professional and warm as well and they just all felt like part of the day. We had an amazing day because of MD Music and their team. Can't recommend enough.

Matty was a DREAM to work with! My husband and I were very picky when it came to selecting our DJ. My husband, in particular, is passionate about many different decades and styles of music. We also wanted our guests of every generation to dance and enjoy the music. We did not want a cheesy MC and we did not want a club-like feel to our wedding. We stumbled on Matty’s IG where we watched a video of him skillfully mixing 90s songs. We scheduled a zoom meeting with him and once we started chatting we knew we found our DJ. Matty truly customizes his DJ sets to each couple he works with. He had us download an app where we filled out a detailed questionnaire about our wedding and then we were able to link entire spotify playlists and songs we wanted. Two weeks before the wedding we had our final zoom meeting with Matty to finalize everything. I was such a wreck with stress at that point and we were trying to figure out the logistics of how our ceremony keyboardist (our friend) would hook up to his sound system. Matty said exactly what a bride needs to hear: “Don’t worry. I will make it happen.” And he did! He was so awesome at the wedding and so many guests were raving about the music.

DJ Matty was amazing to work with from start to finish. He was so responsive and took the time to really understand our vibe and what we were looking for. We had a last minute request for live jazz at cocktail hour and he made it happen without a hitch. We barely left the dance floor all night, and we heard from guest after guest that our wedding had the best music of any they had EVER been to. Don't think twice just hire Matty.

The DJ was probably the vendor that we were most nervous about hiring. We've been to plenty of weddings where the DJ was the worst part of it. They're such a critical part of setting the tone of the wedding and making the whole event flow. Matty was EXACTLY what we needed and he executed perfectly. Handled the curve balls we threw his way with grace and reassurance. He was the calming and fun energy that we needed on what is always going to be a hectic day!

Matty and DJ Brian gave us everything we could have asked for and more. For context, we found ourselves unexpectedly needing a DJ about a month out from our wedding. In that short space of time, they managed to develop a perfect understanding of what we wanted our music and reception to be. Brian took a pretty disorganized hodgepodge of songs we wanted played from across genres and managed to curate a seamless, energetic, frankly awesome set, not to mention integrating a live sax player we hired. Exactly as promised, they kept the focus on us and our guest while keeping things on track. Their communication was top-notch and they were honest and genuine throughout, which really inspires confidence in the home stretch and gives you one less thing to worry about. Highly, highly recommend.

DJ Matty was only DJ we could've wanted! We had two years to plan our wedding and he was one of the easiest first picks. From our initial conversation, my husband knew he was exactly what we wanted. We love DJ'd weddings, but only a certain vibe (low key but always playing hits) - and DJ Matty was IT ! Selecting our favorite songs to hear was easy and fun and we couldn't have been happier with our wedding night. Multiple guests raved about DJ Matty saying he was the best DJ they've ever heard at a wedding and we'd recommend him to every single one of our friends and family! - Nicole & Mike
