Modern Love DJs

500 stars out of 5. Run, don’t walk. Book her and never look back. After checking off credentials, reviews, etc., we booked a lot of our vendors off of vibes and interpersonal. connection, and with Norah (who came highly recommended and with tons of experience from highly, highly-rated Toast and Jam), we immediately knew we had the right person to DJ our wedding. It’s a beautiful thing to work with a vendor who doesn’t just care about doing a good job as a professional, but seems invested in your wedding being wonderful, magical, and important to you. Norah was warm, funny, cool (but not in an intimidating way), and deeply passionate about music (in which she has deep and excellent knowledge and taste). She felt like “our people.” We immediately liked her as a person and wanted her in charge of our party. We also really loved the idea of supporting an independent, women-owned business. We booked her shortly after our first Zoom call with her and remained thrilled with our decision throughout the process. Ahead of the wedding, Norah was clear and organized and gave us a very doable timeline to send her must-plays and don’t-plays. We had some unique live music moments at our wedding, which she was beautifully supportive of, and (without our asking) she volunteered to bring extra little things to help out, such as extra music stands for our guitarists. My husband and his mom planned to do “The Twist” as their first song, and Norah gave us the great idea to have 20+ designated friends ready to charge the dance floor on her cue and then to segue into dancing for the night. That idea kicked off our dance floor with such high energy that stayed full all night. At the DJ table, Norah is a beautiful blend of sweet, sassy, and a “warm demander” (as we say in teaching). My mom later called her “firm, but in a good way." Exactly what you need to get 120 tipsy guests seated from a cocktail hour! She was also warm and personal. Norah sweetly told the story of surprise my father-daughter dance song as an introduction to our dance as we went on the dance floor. My dad was moved to tears. And then there was the dance floor. The dance floor! The first part of the night was 5/5 excellent, with crowd pleasers galore and a nice blend of genres and speeds. The end of the night, though, was just so epic. We had joked in our welcome toast that "in the words of the great Rihanna, we found love in a hopeless place." (We met in June of 2020.) When the dance floor was really going, Norah played that Rihanna song, which we had not thought to request, and everyone went crazy and circled around us and cheered and danced their butts off. Man, what a moment. Guys. You have no idea what it feels like to have all of your closest friends -- across your whole life -- cheering around you as you dance and hug your life’s love. It’s a hell of a thing. Norah is a true artist of beautiful moments. I kept finding myself saying, “shoot! I can’t leave the dance floor -- it’s another banger!” She read the room and rode the energy of the crowd all evening, from a pair of friends who had just met doing the Wobble, to massive circle passionately belting “what’s going on!?!” to 4 Non Blondes. It was amazing all the way through the epic ending. Encircled by our friends and family, we belted and swayed and floated our way to the end of an epic, dreamy wedding night. Norah is the good stuff. We would rebook her any time. Can’t recommend her enough. We love you, Norah!
