An amazing DJ! I always say that a DJ can make or break a wedding, and Nicholas Picholas definitely made our wedding. Very easy to work with, was willing and able to slow down songs, cut songs shorter, and did an awesome job making announcements and keeping the dance floor popping! We got multiple compliments on our playlist and DJ choice. I will recommend him to everyone!

Nicholas is very professional and knowledgeable. You can tell he really loves what he does!! He was easily reachable and responded promptly and professionally. He gave us suggestions on what to do without being pushy and we appreciated that. (Which we ended up going with what he said). The only thing I would change/was confusing was the paperwork that we had to fill out. The response lines didn’t line up with the questions and the wording he used could’ve been “simpler” (for a lack of a better word) - there was some misunderstanding between us because we misunderstood the terms he used. Overall very happy we chose Nicholas to dj our wedding! He also provided us a photo booth - was VERY happy with that and how he helped us. It was a HUGE hit at our wedding!

Used Nicholas for our wedding DJ! He was fabulous and very easy to work with. We also used his photo booth, which includes different backgrounds AND filters. Being fellow WNY'ers and long time listeners to Kiss 98.5, we had an idea of what to expect. Even still, he defied our expections, kept people on the dance floor and even didn't seem bothered when guests hung around and chatted with him. Super cool dude and great at what he does!

Five stars is not even close to enough. Nick was an actual dream come true. So much more than a DJ, he kept the whole day running smoothly and anticipated details I didn’t see coming. Our guests are still talking about the music & the atmosphere. We are so grateful to have had him DJ our wedding. Extremely affordable & worth every penny.

Nicholas is the best wedding DJ and emcee that I have ever seen. His talent is larger than life. We had the littest dance floor a wedding has ever seen thanks to his playlist and energy.

Nicholas is AMAZING!!! He will work closely with you to make sure you have the exact music you want for your day. I gave him playlists of songs we liked and he worked his magic. My sister wanted to do her entrance to a scene from a movie and he took the time to edit the scene sound for us. People were dancing all night, the floor was never empty. We had so many compliments about him and his DJ/MC-ing. You need him to DJ your day. You won’t be disappointed!!

Nick was the DJ for our wedding reception in the Finger Lakes area last week, and we could not be more happy that we chose him. He provided just the right level of energy for our very diverse (3 years to 97 years old) guests. Everyone had a fantastic time!

First, five stars isn’t enough. Nicholas is one of the most professional people I have gotten the pleasure of working with. We were the typical bride and groom, made changes past deadlines and threw curveballs even on the day of and he was so accommodating. Everything was smooth and flawless. There are were absolutely no hiccups and our guests are still raving about how good he was (even the non dancing folks). We are so happy we hired him for our big day!!! We’ve been to so many weddings where the DJ just wasn’t great and it totally killed the day. If you don’t want that to be you, hire Nicholas!!!! He’s terrific!!!

I can’t imagine there’s a better DJ. You’ve probably heard him on the radio for decades and his experience shows. He really knows how to keep the party going and his equipment quality is amazing. We had a 180 person wedding and everyone could hear us through the ceremony with the mics he provides and during the introductions and speeches everything was perfectly audible. His communication was great and responsive. He helped us with advice and made our day go by smoothly and so much fun. His pricing is more than fair for a DJ at his level. We would pick him as our DJ over and over again.

We highly recommend Nicholas for a wedding DJ or any event. He really went above and beyond to make our day so special. From mixing a special father daughter dance song to creating a slideshow of pictures of the bride and groom, he really makes your vision become a reality. Everyone had a blast on the dance floor. He did amazing with keeping the guest engaged and making sure things were on schedule. Very professional and highly recommend.

Nicholas was excellent! He made our wedding night memorable! All our guests loved the music he played!He was the best decision we could have made for a DJ for our wedding. Nicholas did an amazing job playing the music we had requested while still mixing in some things that kept our crowd happy and partying until the end of the wedding. He took the time to get to know us before the wedding and make sure that his style fit our vision for our wedding day. He handled our crazy guests and wedding party amazingly well and kept everything fun for everyone. I would absolutely recommend Nicholas Picholas! He is the best there is!!

Nick knocked our dj expectations out of the park! If you’re looking for the best dj available then book nick. He was the life of our party from start to finish. He nailed every single one of our requests for the ceremony and the reception. Our wedding party was a bit on the wild side and nick played along so well. We had a very large reception of 300+ people and so many of our guests have text us raving about how great our dj was! He brings a lot of extra options to the party other than just music. Book his premiere package option and don’t think twice about, it’s worth every single penny.

If you choose one vendor for your wedding to use it HAS to be Nicholas as your DJ! We used him for our wedding in June and he MADE OUR WEDDING DAY! The process with him was seemless and he was soooo flexible on day-of. He perfected every single song from our ceremony to the last song of the night. Literally you can’t go wrong with hiring him! Everyone is still talking about how amazing the music was. I’d give him 1000 stars if I could!

Nick made our wedding what it was. I had a vision for many different aspects and the overall feel of the night and Nick brought it all to reality. I am so so grateful. My husband and I had a couple surprises for our guests throughout the night, including surprising my Father with a Bagpiper during our Father/Daughter dance and Nick executed it so perfectly. The guests were literally hooting and hollering and my Dad was in full blown tears. Nick went above and beyond in so many different ways & made it a point to know special details about Scott & I and brought so many beautiful touches in throughout the night. It was absolutely perfect. Best night of our lives & he was a HUGE part in making it so. HIGHLY recommend. Professional, kind, creative, personal and FUN. Thank you Nick!!

Nicholas was amazing! He catered to all of our family’s song requests and played music the entire night that got everyone out on the dance floor! I’ve never been to a wedding with such a good DJ and so many people out of the dance floor. I would absolutely recommend him!

I cannot say enough amazing things about Nicholas Picholas!! One not only is he a LEGEND in Buffalo and probably the best DJ WNY has ever seen. But he is the sweetest most accommodating DJ !!!!

If you are looking for a DJ for your upcoming wedding or event, look no further! Nicholas is amazing to work with, super professional, and an amazing MC. All our guests at our wedding raved about the music that Nicholas played at our wedding, and how great he did announcing the bridal party. We had guests dancing the entire evening and didn't want the party to end. My husband and I cannot say enough good things about him.

Nicholas was more incredible than we could have ever imagined! He met on zoom with is multiple times to make sure we had everything we needed , and anything we didn't have he made great recommendations for songs. We made a playlist of songs that we liked for the happy hour and reception and he played those and then also surveyed the crowd to see what they wanted as well. Everyone was dancing and having an incredible time, the wedding wouldn't have been the same without him !

Nick did an unbelievable job. He exceeded our expectations, made us feel relaxed, and not only set the mood but adjusted his music to the overall group. He was organized, confident in his production, and kept the wedding moving at the right pace. My wife and I have been receiving text messages about the dance floor and we’re coming on two weeks since our wedding. It’s hard to put it all in words but I would recommend Nick for any wedding or event.

Couldn't have asked for a better DJ for our wedding!! Nick hosted the whole night flawlessly. From introductions, to cake cutting, to dancing well past midnight ! The dance floor was packed all night long! So much so that we broke down tables to make more space for all of the fun!! Lighting, sound, and photo/video slideshow was amazing! Such a great personal touch to the evening. We loved having Nick and would recommend him to anyone!! Top notch!!!

My husband and I were lucky enough to have Nick DJ and MC our wedding on April 14th, 2018!
I’ve been working with Nick in the hotel industry for the last several years and when we got engaged we knew that he was the one we wanted for our entertainment!
Working with Nick was very seamless, fun and organized. The dance floor was packed the entire night. He keeps the entire night flowing perfectly being an amazing MC as well. I am a wedding specialist at a hotel in Niagara Falls and whenever Couples ask me about a DJ he is the first person I recommend.
