Our DJ, Tony Romano, was great to work with and entertaining to chat with. He did a great job keeping the dance floor full, and the crowd entertained. We also opted for the uplighting, which was a great addition, as well as the social photo booth, which was a big hit!
We hired Moving Music at a wedding expo in Niagara Falls. We specifically requested DJ Mike after talking to him there. He did a great job at our wedding. He kept things moving along, played music that we asked for, and even took a special request where a close friend of ours sang a song for us. The photobooth was a huge hit too. Everyone used it all night long.
Of all the vendors who worked effortlessly to make our wedding day a success, this company was hands down our least favorite. My husband and I selected this company because it was one of few that listed Afro Beats as a genre of music it’s DJ’s we’re familiar with. I’m African American and my husband is African and music plays a HUGE role in most celebrations - being second most important following the food. Days before our wedding we discovered that our assigned DJ was not familiar with that particular genre and was upfront about it which we really appreciated. As a result, he requested that we send a list of artists and songs that we wanted added to our party playlist. We did what was instructed and assumed the the issue would be resolved. However, we quickly realized otherwise during the reception. The DJ was very nice and did a good job with the ceremony but bombed the reception as he seemingly reverted to a generic playlist of songs typically played at weddings. That DID NOT fare well with our guests and they spent much of the night going back and forth to the DJ station making requests, in addition to approaching my husband and I with complaints. At one point it was obvious that the DJ became frazzled by the number of visits and complaints but remained professional, and tried to fill each request. My husband and I became frustrated but had to keep our cool so that our guest would remain calm, and tried to get on with the night as if everything was okay. We heard good things about this company which leads us to believe the issue had less to do with the actual DJ and more to do with the system used to assign DJ’s to specific groups. Our experience was very disappointing. 🫤
We weren't blown away by their DJ services. We were assigned DJ Danny D as our DJ for our wedding. From the initial phone call with him (which wasn't until just 1 week before the wedding) we didn't feel very good about this choice. But it was too late to do anything about it. He appeared rude and arrogant on the phone. He tried to make jokes about how I was "too picky" and continued to brag and tell me TWICE how many weddings he has done and that he is a "pro". I found him to be very full of himself and preoccupied with other things. He often spoke over me and didn't let me finish what I wanted to say. I was very specific that we didn't want many slow songs. Specifically 2 for the whole night. During the wedding, on 3 separate occasions he played 2 slow songs back to back (6 slow songs total). It really killed the mood of the dance floor. He also was rude to my guests who requested songs. The only way he would take a song request was if I personally left the dance floor and went up to him and asked. He did play some of our requested songs, but not all of them and he played songs I have never even heard. I was really excited by this DJ company because of their great reviews, but was really disappointed. On the day of the wedding, right before introductions, my maid of honor went up to talk to him and he went over the order of introductions and toasts with her. She didn't recognize any of the names on his list, and was confused. He had the wrong paperwork and was showing her someone else's weddings line up. He then came up to me to go over it all and make sure it was correct. In my opinion this should NOT be something you bother the bride with on wedding day. He should have had this done, and ready to go ahead of time. Also, no one knew we were cutting the cake. He just started our cake cutting song without saying anything. I had our wedding planner ask him to make an announcement. He didn't lower the music and very somberly said on the mic that we were cutting the cake. Not a single person heard him. Did people still dance? Yes. Did people still have fun? Yes. But I was not super happy.
We rented a photo booth for our wedding and everyone loved it! We decided to not go the traditional route with a formal photographer and thought this was a fun alternative. There was a line for it all night. They also put a complimentary photo book together of all of the pictures for us that our guests were able to sign. Both employees were polite, professional, and kept the very busy booth moving all night.
Great job! Great music and kept the wedding going and the dancing never stopped! The dance floor was always busy and it was a great time! The photo booth was amazing too. They made a special photo album for us as well.
Norm was the DJ for our wedding reception and he was absolutely amazing! He cared a lot about making it a fun reception and getting people dancing! He was super nice and easy to work with and with any changes my husband and I had, Norm was quick to do them! He was lively and played songs! We couldn’t have hired a better DJ!
Professional, great DJ’s who make the party and flexible and accommodating when plans change. Book with Moving Music for a great wedding experience.
We had DJ Danny for our 8/1/2020 wedding and he was amazing!!!! Due to Covid-19 restrictions we were not able to have a dance floor but DJ Danny kept the party going! All of my guests said they had an amazing time, I cannot say enough about how wonderful of a job he did! I (the bride) ended up severely dehydrated and was out of commission for around an hour and he kept the party going to the extent that not many people realized that I was gone! He really put in the extra effort to make it a beautiful, memorable night! I cannot say enough about what an amazing job he did! Thank you Danny!!!
Norm was very professional and did a lot of pre-work to ensure our reception was perfect. We had some special requests, both before and during the event and Norm accommodated every one. We highly recommend Norm and his company!
We had DJ Dan on our wedding day, 2/8/2020 and he was awesome. He was so nice and was genuinely caring about how things sounded and looked. He truly wanted us to have exaclty what we wanted and he did a good job of feeling the crowd. He did all the things you would expect from a professional DJ. We didn't want the classic wedding playlist and our "do not play" list was longer and more important to stick to than our "please play" list. We knew what we DIDN'T want so we gave him that list (over 50 classic wedding songs) and my husband and I created a joint spotify playlist of all the songs we liked so he could get a feel for our taste. Dan clearly reviewed that list because all night long he played songs from it. It was so awesome listening to songs we knew and loved at a wedding, and not just the everyday songs you get at every other wedding. the price was good and the service was perfect. I looked around at other places before choosing moving music, and they really offered the most. Especially because lighting was included. I would highly recommend these guys.
DJ Dan you rock! I got many compliments how awesome the music was and how the night kept moving & flowing! I appreciate you taking the time to sit down with Cody & I to go over everything ahead of time. Thank you for helping make our Wedding perfect!
Chuckie O is Amazing!!! Everyone raves about the DJ. I was so impressed!
The photo booth was so worth it. To be honest I didn’t even think about getting one until my daughter asked for it! & it was so great!! I highly recommend this company!! So great & reasonable!
DJ Jeff was so fun! He was easy to work with and added in a few fun touches to our reception. He was also very flexible when it came time to do the Tarantella with my husbands family and they were too busy taking pictures.
The photo booth was also very well received and I loved having a book of everyone's photos at the end of the night.
Used Moving Music as the photo booth vendor for our wedding. Dan and his entire organization was an absolute pleasure to work with, putting everything together with ease on short notice. They had everything we were looking for in a photo booth - great props, timely prints and text message gifs of the photos sent to guests right about when everyone was sobering up two days later. Highly recommended!
We had such a positive experience with Moving Music! Dan was accommodating, responsive, and worked with us to understand what we were looking for. He helped us find a package for DJ, photo booth, and uplights. DJ Danny D was our DJ for the night - he was an absolute hit and kept our guests dancing all night! Afterwards, we had so many guests tell us how awesome our DJ was and ask us for his information. The photobooth was being used all night and our guests loved the ability to get the photos sent to their phones and get a copy of their photo strips for everyone! Overall, we're so glad that we chose moving music and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for the full package at an affordable price!
Norm was our DJ for a 30th High school reunion at Pearl Street Grill.
There is nothing that he wouldn't do to help with the planning & Setting up of this event. He has the years of experience and a wonderful personality. At one point we needed help applying decorations to the brick walls , getting a little frustrated because nothing we had was working but Norm had Gorilla Tape and that saved us!
We also ran out of helium for the last of our balloons and he offered to go to the nearest store and get them filled. I didn't let him but, the fact that he offered was up and above his call of duty.
We had an amazing time, he played just about every song I requested and a few I forgot about. .
I would highly recommend Moving Music & DJ Norm for your next event.
The company was great with correspondences and replying to concerns and emails. They were flexible as far as contract changes. Anthony was great as our DJ and very receptive to song suggestions!! Very polite and cordial!!
Thank you Moving Music for providing an outstanding DJ and Photo Booth experience for our daughter’s high school graduation party! We had a great time!
Overall we were disappointed, we started planning early and tried our best to communicate everything we wanted.
I'll start with this, first and foremost we were running a little late(that's on us). However, this is not an excuse for starting a first dance song before the bride and groom our on the floor. We had to tell him to replay as rush to the floor and rather than stopping and waiting for us to get to floor, he just started the song over as we still were walking over.
They use a website and somethings were not reviewed, such as a change to the bride's family introduction song, even though we communicated this several times. He did cut the songs correctly.
We asked for an announcement that the centerpieces were to be given away and whomever had a chip under there chair won it. This wasn't announced, so at the end we had some people that didn't get an opportunity to get one and others take 3.
Lastly, I called the owner and even though he said he will look into he didn't seem to have a concerned or want to try to do anything to fix the situation of feel any real remorse for issues.
Also, just something I noticed, our DJ is one of the people who wrote a 5 star review on google.
We had Dj Danny D and he was absolutely amazing!! The dance floor was full and everyone stayed and danced so long we extended him an extra hour! He followed all of our preferences and kept the night running smoothly!! I would highly recommend him! :)
DJ Danny D from moving music was the absolute best! He played such great music all night, the dance floor was packed the whole time! That was most important to us. He went above and beyond with the wedding and ensured everything went smoothly. He also had a photobooth set up that everyone loved. Would recommend to anyone!
DJ Russel was so great and easy to work with! He really set the mood for our wedding. I don’t think the dance floor was empty all night! The photo booth was amazing as well, the props were so fun and at the end of the night we were given a beautiful photo album with a copy of every photo strip our guests took in the booth throughout the night!
Our DJ was okay as was the customer service. He was very loud all night. It sounded like he was announcing a Sabres game. He missed on some of our special requests as well. What I did like was his energy. He kept everyone moving and had a good feel for what to play when. He was also very nice and had a great attitude.
DJ Danny D was amazing to work with. We had a strange request for a game to be played during dinner and he did a great job at figuring out to make it work! He played baby shark and everyone loved it!!
Moving Music was great! DJ Danny D kept the whole crowd dancing and the photo booth was so much fun. The up lighting they provided really made our venue pop too. I would definitely recommend them.
These guys are awesome! That’s what you should know first. Second, they come with the whole package. I got ceremony coverage, mics, gorgeous uplighting, a complete and superior photo booth compared to others I’ve experienced, plus a full photo booth attendant, AND my favorite dj in WNY, DJ Danny D! I worked with him at another wedding we both professionally attended and I hired him for my wedding specifically because he kept everyone on the dance floor all night! People won’t remember your decorations, so make sure they remember how much fun they had... I definitely recommend Moving Music for that!
DJ Dan did a great job at my daughter and son-in-law's wedding. The music was not too loud so people could still talk. Several guests inquired who our DJ was. They loved how engaging he was with the crowd. Dan was very good with reading the crowd and listening to the requests that we made. As we were loading up our cars at the end of the evening, Dan held doors for us, offered to help....Dan is the type of person you want to do business with and trust your event to.
Norm did an absolutely spectacular job at our son's Bar Mitzvah! He did a great job communicating before and during the event. He struck just the right chord and kept the kids dancing and playing games throughout the night. We could not be happier!
DJ Danny D was our DJ for our wedding and he was great! I trusted him to pick the music, feel out the crowd, and know when everything was happening. He did GREAT and my husband and I are so happy with how the night turned out. Definitely would recommend!
DJ Norm was absolutely amazing. So professional and helpful through the entire process. He went above and beyond with everything, even helping with things that were totally not his responsibility. He got the crowd involved and was so personable with all the guests even. I would recommend him to anyone.
Mike was our DJ and he was absolutely wonderful! He was professional, helped us get organized for the night (as we had no clue!), and everyone at the reception loved him. We had a backyard wedding that was very DIY and he adjusted to being outside and having to run cords everywhere so that it didn’t effect people walking. He even at one point helped set up our cupcakes on our cake table! I honestly could not have anything bad to say if I tried. He was amazing! The photo booth was also great and the workers for it were polite, professional, and on top of keeping it organized and going!
Norman Weiler President of DJ Entertainment was our DJ/Emcee for our wedding. There will not be enough to space to tell you how great this guy is. From our planning meeting, to the final cleanup he was the ultimate pro, funny, calming, motivating, and exactly what we wanted. Norm was so well prepared that he knew more about the wedding plan than we did. I forgot most of it and Norm kept us on pace and plan. We had so many compliments on him that we had to write this review for him. We enjoyed ourselves and everyone had such a good time. He played my playlist, improvised, added some fun mixes to our choices and obliged some appropriate requests. We can’t thank you enough Norm. Keep up the great work!!
DJ Danny D was amazing! We could not have asked for a better DJ for our wedding. We pretty much gave him free range for the music (based on what we like), he had great selections and there were people on the dance floor all night long! From the phone meetings to the actual night, everything was perfect! Highly recommend DJ Danny D!!
Russell K did a great job for us!
DJ Danny D was our DJ for the night and he did an amazing job from start to finish. The dance floor was moving all night and everyone raved about the DJ afterwards. Would highly recommend!
Moving Music, from the moment we spoke, was the best choice for us. They had our best interests in mind and it showed. The DJ was more than accommodating with everything and the photo booth was a huge hit. I cant say enough how happy we are with the choice we made. I highly recommend Moving Music over anyone else. Thank you DJ Chuck and most importantly Dan.
DJ Mike did a great job for us. He was the first vendor on site, and the last vendor to leave. He kept the music going continuously, never a lull. He asked for our input on the music we wanted, and he kept true to most of our requests. He did cut off our first dance song without discussing it with us prior. Aside from that we were happy with the music the rest of the night. He was responsive to doing only a partial father/daughter dance, and helped us stay on schedule. I would recommend DJ Mike and Moving Music WNY, just make sure you are clear in your music requests, and they will take care of the rest.
We rented a photo booth through Moving Music for our wedding and were very happy with them! Our guests loved the props and everyone had a great time and could walk away with some cool pictures! We loved that we got a copy of every picture that was taken and they were all glued into a scrapbook for us to have. Would recommend!
We had "DJ Danny D" for our wedding and he was amazing, from the uplights to the music. He made sure it was everything we asked for and more!
He played a great mix of songs to keep everyone dancing and having a good time! He really did everything to make sure the day was perfect!
We also had Anthony for our photo booth, he was great, worked extremely hard on putting our photo book together, fun and social with guests who were going into the photo booth!
Tony was the DJ for our wedding last night and I could not possibly say enough good things about him. He met with us prior to our big day to talk about our preferences and wishes. He gave helpful suggestions but was not pushy and let us make all final decisions.
The night of the wedding was flawless. He read the crowd perfectly and kept the dance floor jam packed the whole night. We even extended the evening and he was the most accommodating! We booked Tony after hearing him DJ a friends wedding last year and we are pleased to say he knocked both weddings out of the park! Thank you Tony!
As a couple planning our own wedding, Moving Music (DJ Chuckie O) was our rock. Not only did he customize our playlist with us for the entire event, he also made sure everything was on time, made announcements, and took care of a ton of "behind the scenes" items we would have never thought of.
Moving Music also did our uplighting and photo-booth and that experience was also incredible. They made us a custom album with all of the photos in it, the attendant was genuinely nice and a pleasure to be around, and the uplighting was perfect.
The best part - after our meeting with Chuckie - he took care of everything. We didn't have to think about many of the little details we were after for our event. He was not just a DJ playing music, he was responsible for orchestrating the flow of the entire event, timing, lighting, music, announcements, sound during the ceremony, and most of all - peace of mind.
Had Chuck for my daughters wedding and the Photo Booth. What a blast we had! Chuck was so much fun and entertaining. Loved the game he did with the bride and groom. We also had the Photo Booth. That was a complete success! The photos ..... so funny! I still see the pictures on everyone's fridges. We couldn't have been happier with Moving Music! They are all very professional, friendly and their prices were better than other places. Would DEFINITELY use them again!!
Have been trying to book through them for weeks. I have never dealt with a business that is so disorganized and unprofessional. My fiancee and I have been hounding them for over a week now to get our contract and submit a deposit. Overall completely unprofessional and unwilling to help us.
Photobooth was great! The dj was super cool but only played a few requested songs. I didn't care for the music played and either did my guests
We had a lot of pains trying to get everything in-line with our DJ. I felt like I had to constantly follow up with them and what I was trying to do wasn't very clear. I felt like a lot of stress should have been alliviated. Overall, nice people but not very organized and I really had to work to get them to focus. And mistakes were still made.
I couldn't have asked for a better DJ if I had created his entire playlist myself! Jeff understood our theme (various movies) and suggested he play songs from the sound tracks of the films we featured. Perfect! The music he chose was so on point that the guests figured it out and started games amongst themselves to figure out what movie the song came from. Everything was great with the company; Dan, the owner, had no problem meeting with us when we had questions about anything. He even met with us the night his basement flooded because we had already set aside our time. A FANTASTIC company to work with. They did our music, lighting, and photo booth.
My whole experience with Moving Music was great... Since I am out of town they still made it seem so simple... no muss no fuss, whatever I wanted happened!!! Talked to DJ Chuckie O, for almost 2 days making sure I knew exactly what I wanted, the day of my wedding he did not disappoint! I would recommend them for anything and definitely use them again.
Tony from Moving Music did a fantastic job. While planning my wedding, there were 3 things that were most important to me: the dress, the food and the music. Those are the things people remember and Tony definitely kept the night moving! We met before the big day and went through every little detail, which made me feel so much more comfortable about how things were going to go. He made sure he knew the pronunciation of everyone's name and did everything we asked. He is a true professional and I would highly recommend him!
Chuckie 'O' was fun, funny, and knew just what music to play. He took over the reception and made sure everything ran like clockwork! Loved him! And their price was very reasonable. I highly recommend Chuckie!
We had Dj Chuckie for our wedding Dj. He played fun music and mostly everything went well except there was no music while people were being seated at our outside ceremony. He was friendly and fun but hard to get ahold of at times for certain requests. Overall he did a good job and everyone had a great
Time and danced all night!
We hired Moving Music to do both the ceremony and the reception music. Gregg was the name of our DJ and he was so friendly and kept the dance flow going all night. We didn't have to worry about a thing.
I live over an hour from the city of buffalo but moving music was wonderful in meeting my needs DJ Chuckie O worked ith me over the phone and through email, he was fun and layed back but still professional. I got both uplighting and dance floor lighting by moving musuc as well and it transformd the large open reception hall making it look better than anything i could have ever imagined. Everyone had a great time, Thank you!!
Our DJ was great! You know it was a good reception when we have to get asked to leave at 12pm by or reception hall! Kept the music and party going. Literally everyone was on the dance floor all night! Excellent planning help too!
We needed a sound system for our wedding and were just looking for the basics since we both had been married before. DJ Dan was great he helped us thru all of our questions and he delivered to the max and made our wedding reception just great. He really got our guest to participate in the event. No compliants at all
The actual Dj himeself Jeff was great, very accomadation, very knowledgable about music, the owner, Dan, was hard to get in contact with and he did not give a lot of information or help at all in the planning. I had to keep checking with him and asking him if he received our payments.
If you want everyone to dance and have a great time, use Moving Music. Tony took the time to get to know our style and found the best music to play. We had a few more obscure songs we wanted to hear as well & he got a hold of them all.
They were nothing but the best! DJ Tony was perfect. He was so understanding and flexible in preparing for our wedding. He kept the party going and everyone loved him. =0) Especially the ladies!
*He provided music for our "Jack & Jill" party prior to our wedding and everyone was saying how excited they were because the music there was great also!
It was incredibly easy to get set up with Moving Music because they have so many DJs to choose from. Their online music selection was a great way to get us started, and then when DJ Chuckie O called to confirm things we were definitely on the same page. His style was perfect for our wedding. We even got a discount for booking so early! Adding an extra hour wasn't a problem, that can be decided that night.
Moving Music is the best! We had the owner and DJ meet at our home. They were so personal, talented and professional. Our guests complimented Gregg on how great he was! He was so nice too!
