All we have to say is AMAZING. Julio is by far the best wedding DJ we have encountered. From the first conversation we had with Julio, we knew he was going to be a great fit. He is so gifted at his craft, and comes to the table with such a relaxed energy you are left feeling assured that he’s got you on one of the biggest days of your life. During one of the first conversations we had with Julio we told him we wanted songs to blend seamlessly from hit to hit so that people wouldn’t want to leave the dance floor even for one song. And wow did he deliver. Our guests were on the dance floor all night, and some even relieved their babysitters a little later than expected because they didn’t want to leave the dance floor. We had a few special requests that Julio was able to accommodate with ease - from blending two songs into one for our first dance and mother/daughter dance, to playing a selection of Greek music for our families to enjoy. Truly cannot say enough positive words about Julio - don’t think twice about this choice - Julio is hands down the DJ to go with!

For any couple who is looking for the perfect DJ to create the optimal environment for their wedding night, look no further.
Theresa & I could not have been more happy with picking Scott as our DJ to manage music for our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception portions for our wedding at Glen Magna Farms. From the get-go, Scott was incredibly professional, communicative and easy going. He was amazing at listening and taking into account our vision for the evening while politely interjecting to give his credible expertise on what type of flow/type of vibe would go best at which portion of the evening.
When Theresa & I shared that we wanted a live saxophonist to pair with his DJing, he introduced us to Chuck who also brought the stage down and was a huge crowd favorite for all of our guests. So many of our friends loved the DJ/live saxophonist combination and we're so appreciative of Scott and Murray Hill's support in turning our dreams into a reality.
We could not recommend Scott more to any couple getting married in the North Shore area!

Redline put on an INCREDIBLE show for our wedding! From the beginning of our planning process, we said we wanted a packed dancefloor more than anything else, and Redline delivered!...
The band was just incredible. They were so accommodating to our requests and even learned a new song for us. The incredible party and music is still the top feedback we hear on our wedding, and we are so grateful to the band, Steve, Matt, and Paul for making the whole process a breeze. 10/10 recommend!

so easy to work with. We had a great initial planning meeting and were all on the same page. He did a great job with the ceremony and sound levels!

Everyone commented how great the music was the whole evening! We had such a great time celebrating, and music was a big part of it! Would highly recommend Scott and Murray Hill!

Unity was phenomenal!! Their energy was off the charts and the dance floor was packed all night - we've never seen a dance floor like that at a wedding! The band clearly put a lot ...
of care and effort into crafting the setlist around our style and accommodating our requests. They set the tone right away and did not let off the gas for the next 4 hours, even on breaks. Our guests keep telling us how impressed they were - Unity is one of the first things they mention when they talk to us about our wedding. The performance was so memorable, from the vocals to the horns (!) - we loved it all. We can't thank Unity and Murray Hill Talent enough for making our wedding so special - we'd recommend them to anyone in a heartbeat!

tarist Tom Pendergast for our ceremony and DJ Niko for our cocktail hour and reception. Both were excellent and easy to work with! The ceremony music was beautiful, and Tom even started playing a little early as we were taking photos in the ceremony space. Throughout the planning process, Niko was so kind, and was available to answer questions and help us plan the perfect night. Niko had the dance floor PACKED on our wedding night, and played such a fun mix of music that had everyone up and dancing. He did a great job reading the room, and played all of the songs we wanted to hear. The dance party was a highlight of the night for us and our guests. Thank you!

Our DJ Scott was amazing throughout the night. He kept the dance floor packed and played hit after hit for all of the generations present. Many people told me they had a hard time ...
leaving the floor because each time they tried, another good song would come on. Scott also did a great job mixing songs to keep people engaged! His energy was spot on!
There were a few issues though. First, I wanted a specific song and wanted to enter at a specific point in the song. In our final meeting, Scott told me he knew exactly what song I wanted and would play it in time with my entrance. Unfortunately, it was the wrong version. No big deal, it was still the song and I barely remember it, The second issue was that my name was mispronounced all night. Now, this could be on my husband and I as well seeing as we did not say anything the first time, but still was annoying to enter the wedding with the wrong name.
All in all, Scott was wonderful aside from a few blips!

We were thrilled to have Dakeya Christmas as our DJ through Murray Hill Talent! We had a fusion Pakistani wedding in June 2022. We searched for a very long time for the perfect D...
J, and wanted someone who would play music that would keep our guests dancing and the dancefloor full all night long. Dakeya not only met our expectations, he blew them out of the water!
From the beginning, Dakeya was available to answer our questions and walk us through the process. He made it easy by letting us share Spotify playlists for our various wedding events. We had separate playlists and musical vibes for our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. Dakeya executed the music for each event perfectly. Dakeya was also an excellent emcee!
It was very important to us that we had an energetic atmosphere for our reception. So, most importantly, Dakeya took my suggested playlist and curated the perfect mix for our dancefloor. He played hit after hit, and people stayed dancing all night. We had several people compliment us on our DJ selection. Many guests remarked months after the wedding how much they had enjoyed dancing at our wedding. And other friends getting married asked which DJ we used.
Thank you, to Dakeya and Murray Hill for your hard work, incredible talent and emphasis on customer service! Dakeya is a true professional and highly-skilled at what he does! We highly recommend him and choosing Dakeya as our DJ remains one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.

Murray Hill was among a short list of vendors recommended to us by our venue. We looked through their list of DJs and ended up meeting a couple, eventually deciding to go with Feli...
x Herbst. Felix was amazing to work with, and we were so thrilled with how everything ended up. From our first meeting, it felt like he really listened to us and what we wanted (and importantly, what we didn't want) and his goal and priority was to make us happy. Other DJs we talked to were so focused on the party, but we wanted a more laid-back tone and Felix totally got that. From the violin played for the processional, to the music during the cocktail hour and reception, and including the dancing portion, the music was always fun but never over the top or too loud. Felix was respectful of our request to keep the volume slightly lower, both so we could enjoy talking to our guests and also to accommodate some guests with sensory issues. He did the perfect amount of emceeing, keeping guests aware of what was going on and guiding the party along, but never felt like he took over or was trying to be the center of the party. He made us different versions of our first dance song to choose from, worked with us to create the perfect cut of our entrance song, and was always so responsive and easy to work with. He even checked in with us a few times during the wedding to make sure we were happy and ask if we wanted to hear anything specific. We absolutely loved working with him and would recommend him to anyone looking for a fantastic DJ!

was perfect for our event. We had a violinst, guitarist, and saxaphonist throughout the day and Brian was our DJ for the full event. We completed forms of what songs we wanted when but then Brian called us to make sure everything was right and we were on the same page ahead of the big day. During our event, he read the room perfectly and played the perfect music that kept people dancing right until we had to stop. We had a mixup with announcements (bridal party went to seats instead of waiting to be announced) and Brian adjusted on the fly and made it perfect. Murray Hill Talent can truly make your music/lighting vision come true, and they helped make our wedding perfect!

We hired Zeke Stern for our wedding and I cannot recommend him enough.
A wedding DJ can truly make or break the reception. A bad DJ can ruin everything. But with Zeke, the mor...
ning after everyone raved about how awesome our DJ was.
We had very specific, detailed instructions for our music because we wanted to avoid the possibility that our reception would not be a non-stop dance party. Many of friends warned that they had also done this, but the day of, the DJ went rogue and completely ignored the instructions. But Zeke isn't like other DJs - he's there to serve his clients and give them what they want. We did not want a boisterous DJ who was going to make the reception his own concert or show. Zeke respected our wishes and absolutely KILLED IT. Even when our reception went off schedule a bit, Zeke read the room and knew which songs to play to keep the party going. That combination of taking instructions well and also having good intuition and judgment is rare, and it is such an important skillset to have to be a good wedding DJ.
Zeke was also so easy to work with - extremely kind and very calm. I cannot recommend him enough.

Scott was AMAZING! I honestly cannot say enough good things; everyone of all ages had a total blast at our wedding. He completely listened to all of our “must play”/ “do not play” ...
requests and he chose an awesome playlist of music that kept people on the dance floor all night - truly perfect! I don’t think there was a single song that made people want to sit down. We spoke with Scott the week of our wedding to go over everything and he was super detail oriented. He made sure he pronounced everyone’s names correctly, took the time to listen to our preferences and made us feel so comfortable. He has a great personality and was beyond easy to work with. If you are considering Scott, don’t give it a second thought. My husband and I agreed that he could not have done any better and should we need a DJ again in the future, we know where to look. Thank you Scott for making our night SO much fun!

Thank you to DJ Felix Herbst for everything he did for our wedding! Our original DJ had to back out last minute due to a medical emergency, but he connected us to Cory at Murray Hi...
ll Talent who quickly set us up with Felix who did an amazing job at our wedding. Felix kept things running smoothly and made appropriate announcements and intros, but he was never cheesy or annoying like some other wedding DJs! His music selections were perfect and totally got the vibe we were going for. He also accommodated all of our weird and very specific requests. Felix was just great, and we loved working with him! He made an already special day even more special. :-)

Planning the DJ was by far the EASIEST part of our wedding thanks to Murray Hill Talent. Paul provided several highly qualified DJs for us to interview. We chose Felix to be our DJ...
(and ceremony/cocktail hour violinist!) and could not have been any happier. What a talented and organized person! Our guests could not stop commenting on how much they enjoyed the DJ/Violinist. Both Paul and Felix were incredibly responsive and flexible. Felix setup several phone calls to review our music selection and sent us samples to listen to and to practice timing. If we could give 6 stars we would.

Murray Hill was so great to work with! Through them we hired Chris to sing and play guitar for our ceremony and cocktail hour and then Dakeya to DJ for the reception. Unfortunately...
we only really got to hear Chris during the ceremony because we took photos during cocktail hour, but I loved what I did hear and he was so talented that I wish we could’ve listened to him for hours.
We spend more time with Dakeya and we also highly recommend him! He was SO friendly and did a great job playing a variety of music and also getting people out on the dance floor. He also was attentive to playing requests, and simultaneously kindly turning down the requests that we had on our “do not play” list, haha. Great day overall!!

Zeke was our wedding DJ and he was wonderful! He kept everyone on the dance floor all night! He made sure to reach out to us a few days before the wedding to ensure he had all the ...
pronunciations correct and make sure he was able to uphold all of our requests. Zeke delivered far beyond our expectations. The DJ is such a big part of the wedding reception and we could not have been happier to have chosen Zeke to play such a big role in our day. We would definitely recommend him for any of your events!

We couldn't have been happier with Murray Hill! We worked with Tom Pendergast to secure the band Search Party for our wedding and he was extremely kind and easy to work with. We al...
so had Tom play acoustic guitar during our ceremony and cocktail hour and he was absolutely amazing! He played all of our requested ceremony songs and completely knocked them out of the park.
We also can't recommend Search Party enough. They kept everyone on the dance floor all night and every person in the band is incredibly talented. Everyone couldn't stop raving about how talented and fun they were.

Murray Hill was great to work with! We had DJ Brian Delac and he did an amazing job. We had people out on the dance floor all night long. We had a wide range of age in our guest li...
st and he made sure there was something for everyone. I especially appreciated that he just focused on playing the music and never really interrupted the flow of the night with speaking over songs. He perfectly understood the vibe we were going for with the dinner music playlist and then dancing.

I cannot say enough good things about Murray Hill talent. I had Eastern Standard at my ceremony and cocktail hour and DJ Scott Arrington for my reception. All my guests were raving...
about both! They listened to exactly what I wanted through only a few phone calls and emails and nailed it! Eastern standard did such a good job at the beginning of the day and Scott absolutely killed it at the reception. He kept everyone from every age group dancing all night. I didn’t leave the dance floor once! I could not be more grateful for their hard work (even though they made it look so easy!). You must use them for your next event, it’s a no brainer! Thanks again!!! ❤️

We’d really like to thank Murray Hill Talent for working with us. We had to reschedule and relocate our wedding multiple times and they were more than accommodating to make sure ou...
r special day included some musical talent. To Emilia, you absolutely blew everyone away with your skills playing the harp. My wife and I have received so many compliments on your performance. To Zeke, thank you so much for being the point man and master music generator on our special day. You did an awesome job at laying down the beats with a wide variety of music to keep everyone out of their seats and on the dance floor. We would highly recommend Murray Hill Talent, their portfolio of services and talent they provide is top notch.
