Andres is the best!
He was one of our favorite vendors we worked with for our wedding! When my husband and I were looking for a DJ, we wanted someone who is bilingual in Spanish a...
nd English. We were so happy we went with Andres because not only was he able to take requests in Spanish from our guests, but he was also able to MC in both languages so no guest was left out and transitioning through events during the reception was seamless for that reason. He knows how to read the room and keep the party going! During the night, we had some impromptu speeches that were not planned in our initial sequence of events for the evening. Andres was able to incorporate it into our night so effortlessly, that no other moments were cut short. Leading up to the big day, Andres was so professional and easy to work with. If I ever had a question, he was always willing to make himself available and he would reply back quickly.
Besides being a great MC and DJ for our wedding, we also went with the photobooth at the wedding!
I am so glad we had the booth, it was awesome! The pictures were such great quality and taking them was a breeze! Our guests were able to take pictures and walk away with the prints right then and there! Also, they were able to have an extra copy put in a book for my husband and I where our guests could leave a sweet note. We were able to take that book home with us that night and go through it together. That was such a nice touch!
We also decided to go with the cold sparkulars, which added extra magic! No stress of crazy set
up or worried about tripping over wires. The sparkulars were able to be placed in different areas around the dance floor for those perfect shots of our entrance and first dance! We were so happy we added them for those special moments!
We absolutely loved working with Andres and we would love to work with him again in the future!

of itself. We cannot recommend him enough, and when we have another event, such as parties and or other festivities, we will be hiring him. Such professionalism is rare when it comes to people in the entertainment business, however he was one of the most professional individuals that we have met. A tremendous and fantastic service that we cannot recommend him enough to anyone who’s looking to have fantastic time at any event !!!!!!! 20/10 stars !!!!!

We had the best experience with Andres at our anniversary party! From the beginning, he was so professional, easy to communicate with, and really understood the vibe we wanted for ...
the night. We booked him without much anticipation, but he made everything so easy and guided us through all we needed to know.
Our biggest concern was having more than 130 guests of different ages and nationalities, but he read the dance floor perfectly and kept everyone dancing, seamlessly mixing Latin and American music! We know everyone had a great time because so many people complimented the music.
He also provided the photo booth, which was a huge hit! We got to choose and customize the photo design and backdrop, and on the day of the event, the setup looked amazing. His assistant did a great job too, the photo quality was excellent, and everyone had so much fun taking pictures. Plus, he sent us all the digital versions afterward!
If you’re looking for someone who brings energy, excellent organization skills, and amazing music to your event, Andres is the one! Highly recommend him for any celebration.

B that he played, as we requested. He was attentive the whole night, and managed to find us throughout the night to make sure we were enjoying ourselves, and that our timeline was staying on track (trust me, you need this- once your wedding/party is going, all thoughts leave your brain) he is the guy to make sure your night goes how you planned it! Thank you Andres, for being so great, kind, and attentive. Our wedding could have not been successful without you!

We had an amazing experience working with Andrés for our wedding. He's very professional, but also approaches the job with a friendly attitude that makes you feel comfortable.
As...
an MC, he was very organized and helped us think through our day-of timeline ahead of time, asking questions that made us think about things we hadn't even considered. He was able to make announcements in English and Spanish, which was very important to us for our bilingual family. Andrés even helped us pivot to Plan B's in the moment when things didn't go according to plan.
As a DJ, Andrés kept the music going from beginning to end. Through pre-wedding meetings, he got to know us and our musical preferences, incorporating our favorite songs while filling in the gaps where we didn't know what to play. He set a vibe before our ceremony, and kept it going through the ceremony, cocktail hour, and dinner. We're big dancers, and Andrés kept the dance floor packed all night. He knew when to change genres and how to keep people of all ages coming back for another dance.
We also feel he went above and beyond for joining us during a venue visit and working with a family member to connect sound for our ceremony’s virtual livestream.
We're thankful to have worked with Andrés and highly recommend him for any occasion!

night, he was professional, responsive, and completely in tune with the vibe we wanted for our wedding. All of our guests felt that he nailed the music! Because of his great talent and skill, our dance floor was packed all night. Our guests said they hadn't danced that much in years. Not to mention, he was fantastic with sticking to the timeline and helping organize the timeframes of the night events. He offers a Photo Booth with his services and all of our guests really enjoyed that! We highly recommend him for anyone's wedding or party, especially a Latino gathering!
Thank you for making our wedding unforgettable!

ct night!
From the beginning, Andres was patient, organized, and great to work with - a true all around professional with great humor! My husband and I were nervous about the entertainment aspect but Andres made the planning process fun and we shared lots of laughs as we worked through it with his online planning tools!
Andres met with us as needed since our wedding had a few festivities that were out of the ordinary and he made sure he took the time to understand everyone's role and created a timeline to make sure we stayed on schedule. We also didn't have a day-of-coordinator or wedding planner and Andres didn't hesitate to take charge!
The night of our wedding we received countless compliments about our music and how everyone had so much fun! My side of the family loves to dance and Andres had everyone dancing - from the kids, to my grandparents, and even some of the vendors couldn't help themselves to move along to the music while they worked. He made sure to play all of the music we wanted and blended it all perfectly. The vibe was never off, the transitions were smooth, and his MCing was tasteful!
We've developed a great relationship with Andres and plan to keep in touch with him since we plan to include him all of our future celebrations!

wide range of music was important to us. DJ Mero was able to make everyone feel included and involved with his MCing and skills on the DJ Decks! Both sides of our family were on the dancefloor and everyone had a blast!
Music was a big concern for us but DJ Mero made the planning process easy which put our anxiety at ease. His planning forms made it easy to organize everything and he took the time to plan it with us to really understand our vision. We could not thank him enough and we appreciate everything he has done to make our day so special!
