ows how to keep the party going and reads the room very well throughout the night. We danced from when the dance floor opened to when we had to leave the venue. I would highly recommend Greg!

Young ASAP!!! Not only can DJ Greg pack the dance floor all night long, he proved to be the ultimate professional throughout the entire planning and preparation process. He guided us through the ideal timelines, announcements, setup location, and he was respectful / flexible with any special requests we had along the way. One such request was to remix two versions of the same song for our first dance and it was beautifully done after a single email! We are so deeply appreciative of DJ Greg and the tremendous professionalism he shared with us on our special day. The ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception were perfectly tuned thanks to him! Cheers and thanks to you Greg, the best DJ / Emcee in New England!!!

else supporting our day. Greg was attentive, fun, personable, and so incredibly skilled at what he does. He had the best line up of songs that kept all of our guests dancing all night long and everything ran so smoothly. When we had special requests prior to the wedding such as a mash up for the father/daughter dance, Greg mixed the tracks together and sent it over promptly, helping make our vision come to life! Greg is the best and you will be so thankful you chose him to take part in your special day!

ent above and beyond to ensure our special day was nothing short of amazing! First and foremost, his playlist was an absolute hit! The music selection was spot-on, playing all our favorites and ensuring that the dance floor was never empty. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how much fun they had and how much they loved the music/dancing! What truly set DJ Greg Young apart was his exceptional organizational skills. Leading up to our big day, he provided us with an in-depth questionnaire and took the time for a planning call to understand our vision. The result? A detailed timeline that ensured everything ran seamlessly. From the ceremony to the reception, every moment was perfectly timed, allowing us to relax and enjoy the celebration without a single worry. But it's not just about the music and timing; Greg brought an infectious energy to our wedding day! His enthusiasm, professionalism and passion for what he does was very apparent, creating super fun atmosphere that resonated with all our guests. It's not often you find a DJ who not only understands the technical aspects but also knows how to connect with the crowd and make our special day extra special – and fun! If you're looking for a DJ who goes above and beyond to make your wedding day unforgettable, look no further than DJ Greg Young. We wholeheartedly recommend him and can't thank him enough for being such an important part of our special day. He truly exceeded our expectations, and we're grateful for the memories he helped create!

ttended a wedding that he DJ'd, and we were sold on the fact that he kept the dancefloor going all night. Fast forward to our wedding, and that is exactly what happened. He was able to include music that appealed to all the guests at our wedding while keeping the energy high and the vibes even higher. Greg took the time to get to know my husband and and I during many email conversations, through dinner and made the effort to ensure everything was perfect (down to the font of our names!) during wedding day. From the song mixes, to the photo booth to the uplighting, it was a perfect blend of happiness. We cannot recommend Greg enough as a wedding DJ - he truly was the cherry on top of a perfect day!

ts the tone of the whole event. If there is any part of our wedding that could have been on autopilot, it would have been Greg. He set the entire tone - had a surprise screen on his booth (which took up almost no space) with our names and the wedding date. later in the night, it played portions of old music videos for songs and all the pictures from the selfie booth. you absolutely have to do the selfie booth - was the biggest hit of the night. He did not miss one of our "must plays" (you do have to have reasonable list so he can manage the crowd energy without a 50 song playlist of your own - for that you don't need a DJ). He was also present when needed but faded into the proceedings in a way that let our friends and family shine. He walked us through all our preferences (we had a few quirks with no parents on one side etc). Hire him and just let him do his job and I guarantee you - you will be thrilled. wish i had another night to dance all night with him mixing it up!

usic we wanted during our reception. He even worked with us to figure out logistics so that one of our friends could play the saxophone during our reception. Everyone - young and old - was on the dance floor all night!!

e felt he understood what we were looking for took that into account when doing what he does best. Almost every single guest was on the dance floor for the entirety of the night! We would highly recommend Greg!!!

ofessionalism, thoroughness, and flexibility. It can be overwhelming to choose music and songs for an event, but he was more than willing to assist where necessary. He answered any questions I had without any hesitation and made sure he understood our style when we met with him. We had an outdoor ceremony in a location that was very important to my husband and me. In the last hour the weather forecast changed to 90% chance rain. I took a gamble and crossed my fingers it would be a light rain, so we could still get married in our favorite location. Unfortunately, it ended up raining pretty heavily but our ceremony went on. We were incredibly grateful that Greg stuck with us through the whole ceremony, while getting poured on. That shows huge commitment and dedication to his customers. During our reception, we also had the social booth which our guests LOVED. They were either at the social booth or dancing the night away. It was important to me that our DJ have a professional appearance as I’ve seen some messy looking set ups with cords all over, causing quite an eyesore. DJ Greg had a beautiful and professional set up that helped put the final touches to the clean look we were going for. My guests remarked how well the DJ was “reading the room” with his playlist, which is an important factor. I would hire DJ Greg again in a heartbeat!

so great during this entire process and even helped picked out our last song of the night. The form was so easy to fill out and update as we got closer to the wedding. He even made a custom song for me to walk down the aisle to. We bought the party pack and Photo Booth and they were such a big hit with our guests. It was such a great time and can’t wait to hire him again for our next event.

fessional, creative, and it felt like he really cared about making our day special and fun for everyone. Our ceremony and reception felt flawless! Having a great DJ made all the difference, we didn’t have to worry about a thing! Everyone had a blast and many guests mentioned how awesome the music was. The uplighting in our wedding color added a nice personalized touch to the event space during dinner and then the changing colors were so fun during the dancing. We also added the social media booth which was a big hit! We highly recommend going with DJ Greg Young!!

the music the crowd was loving! Highly recommend!

eciative of the professionalism Greg brought to our planning process as he was organized, responsive, and easy to talk with. We had the pleasure of meeting him in person before the wedding to talk through our day and he relieved a great deal of stress for us with his expertise of sound logistics, timeline, and music. When it came to our wedding day, Greg was incredibly professional and executed perfectly throughout the day. He brought a spark to our reception that had the dance floor packed all night long. Compliments were received from guests of all ages with how great the music was throughout the night - he truly played to the vibe of the crowd. We highly recommend that any wedding couples consider working with Greg, you will be very happy you did!

During the wedding he really felt the vibe of the room and had the best music! Even the very odd songs no one has heard of that we requested!

with our music requests. The day of our wedding he was crucial in supporting us and our other vendors to ensure the day went smoothly! On top of it all, he did AMAZING with keeping the music going throughout the night with music that totally matches our style! Our friends were raving about him immediately, and saying he was the best they’ve ever heard! Would recommend Greg in a heartbeat to anyone that is seeking an amazing DJ! Thanks, Greg!!

nvinced that Greg might be the best DJ…ever!? He threw an absolute RAGER for us - I’ve never had so much fun on a dance floor. He read the room beautifully, playing songs and genres that we had requested but also mixing in other jams that totally hit. I can’t tell you how many of our guests told us that DJ Greg was the MVP of the weekend. In addition to an absolutely lit dance floor, Greg spent time getting to know us in the months leading up. He puts a great deal of care into his work and treats his clients incredibly well. When I switched up the parent dance song 5 mins before the dance was supposed to start, he didn’t blink an eye. He’s flexible, fun, and so so talented. Do yourself a favor and book Greg, like NOW!

d hands regarding all things music. He led us through a simple and organized process of picking out all the songs/music that we needed throughout the day. When we needed some recommendations he was more than happy to help and was super fast to respond. The best part of our experience with Greg was the day of our wedding. Once the dance floor opened we didn't leave once! He kept the great music flowing all night and everyone who attended our wedding had the best time because of it. One of our friends even inquired about Greg's availability for their wedding date as they were leaving our wedding - if that isn't a sign you need Greg Young as your wedding DJ I don't know what is! Thank you, Greg, for the best night ever!

th other vendors and questions we had along the way. You can tell that Greg loves what he does. Our entire wedding from start to finish was executed perfectly - we gave Greg a list of guest requests and a short but specific do not play list... He perfectly incorporated all of our guest requests seamlessly and did a great job entertaining our wedding guests. I can't say enough about Greg's skill, energy, and professionalism. thank you so much!

ony, first dance, and parent dances. Greg not only offered up many playlists for us to listen to for inspiration but also helped us nail down a timeline for incorporating those dances into our evening. When it came time to open up the dance floor, we had family and friends out there from every generation until the last song. I would highly recommend working with Greg for your music needs!

He then kept the evening on fire by reading the crowd and playing what the people NEEDED, let alone wanted! Everyone raved about the music. Greg was professional and even helped make impromptu announcements when we were wrapping up. You won't be disappointed hiring him!

freaking fun our dance floor was. From a logistics standpoint, Greg was a pure expert in keeping our event moving right to schedule from the prelude all the way through the last song. He guided guests confidently and easily, making sure everyone knew where to go or what to expect in that next 'phase' of our event, just as planned. But you don't hire a DJ for the logistics craft (although it is important!). You hire them to make sure you have a party fit for you and your person. Getting married in our 30s meant we had been to our fair share of weddings with dull dance floors, so for us personally, it was incredibly important we hired someone who could throw a banger. And damn, did we get our banger. When I say we could not be an ounce of bothered to leave our dance floor, I mean it. Greg took our "love playlist" and "do not playlist" to heart, using those songs we requested but also adding in other songs he knew we'd love based on the style we shared. We loved every second of it, and so did our guests! Our planning with Greg was also seamless. He has an intuitive portal to work from -- to review your contract, pay installments and send information he needs to curate your event to your liking/schedule -- which makes it really easy. Lastly, beyond his DJ skills, Greg is simply an A+ human being - the kind of person you want, not just need, to work with. He's responsive, professional, kind and fun and someone we would often find ourselves chatting with beyond our allotted time to talk about "work", just because we wanted to. It should be obvious by now, but we could not recommend Greg more highly to any other couple. Thank you, Greg, for all you did to make our day magic!

y cared about our wedding and it showed in his work. He made sure all the details of our day were addressed; scheduling planning sessions far in advance to ensure nothing was overwhelming. He did a great job listening to our vision and giving his professional guidance. His equipment for both the ceremony and reception were noticeably high quality and sounded fantastic Greg's skills shone again at the reception. He did a great job reading the room and with his beat-matching transitions, no one wanted to leave the dance floor. The compliments on the party his music created keep pouring in - multiple guests wanted his contact information. Greg let his music and our guests be the real show. A great person and great DJ!

edding that statement doesn’t even do him justice! I had people coming up asking if we gave him a list of songs because they PERFECTLY captured everything we love! Everyone was impressed by Greg. He is an incredible DJ, so detail oriented, calm, prepared, fun, and might we even add that his voice is perfect over a microphone too? I give him the highest recommendation.

and personable. He checked in every few months during our planning and offered many helpful suggestions through our the planning. Greg took the time to get to know us on a personal level vs a business level. We hands down give Greg a 5 star review and highly suggest him to any couple looking for a DJ!

o elected to have his Photo Booth (stand) for our reception and it was a huge hit. We can’t thank Greg enough for his amazing service.

and Greg ended up connecting with my family to put together a little video with photos and videos from friends to commemorate the little backyard ceremony that we had last year. And he did this amazing gesture simply because he wanted to see us smile! Our wedding day was unreal - he had everyone on the dance floor the entire night, he knows how to read the vibe of the crowd and this combined with the awesome photo booth (his photo booth attendant was also amazing) and the up-lighting throughout our barn venue - it made our night that much more memorable. 12/10 stars for Greg - I can't say enough good things about him, so whatever event you are planning, please connect with him - it'll be one of the best decisions you'll ever make!

de our day perfect in every way possible. His attention to detail is unmatched and we would 10/10 recommend to anyone. Thank you Greg for helping to make our day so special and fun.

task. Greg was phenomenal throughout the entire process. He walked us through every one of his services, and helped us visualize how each would look and feel on the day. He never pushed us in any direction and maintained a level of excitement that was both professional and energizing for the two of us. As the event approached he worked with us to get every detail correct and to really get a feel for what we wanted musically. Again, my wife and I are not big on detailed planning so we gave him some general ideas, but for the most part trusted him to curate something amazing. To say he DELIVERED would be a gross understatement. The ceremony and dinner service was flawless, neither my wife nor I had to think about a thing and Greg’s MC-ing and song choices were amazing. When the dance floor opened up, the guests practically RAN to it and they remained on that dance floor until the final song of the evening. Our families were adamant that they had never seen anything like it. Not only did the two of us love every selection he made, but we heard endless stories of how great he was from practically all of our family and friends. Greg, thank you so much for being such a huge part of our special day and for absolutely crushing every aspect of it.

for anyone…or so we thought. Greg was on it! He traveled to meet us and took his time to listen and understand not only the type of music that we liked, but also what type of experience we wanted to have. Greg's professionalism, experience, friendliness and energy made us feel comfortable making the choice, and he did not disappoint. He followed up with us several times, kept us on track and even spoke with the venue and other vendors to coordinate the timing and details. Personally, I was a little nervous with the timing of transitioning between the various ceremony songs. However, the transitions were flawless, and I was worrying for nothing. He made sure to play the specific songs we wanted to hear but also had tons of hits ready to go. Something we really appreciated was that he modified the play list depending on the age of the crowd. As the night progressed and our older family members began to leave, the music began to get "younger" as well. The crowd had a great time and there wasn't a single occupied seat. If you want the chicken dance experience, he can probably do that. If you want a modern or custom experience unique to your day, he can do that too. You will not regret hiring Greg.

got married at Linekin Bay) and he was calm, cool, and collected throughout it all along with a few different set ups. Would highly recommend him.

His extensive experience was immediately apparent, allowing us to feel comfortable with letting him take the lead for all things music related. To completely trust someone during the wedding planning is a rare experience and I cannot convey how valuable this it. We had a friend of ours sing live for our first dance and he coordinated all the logistics with her - allowing us to concentrate on practicing our dance moves! On the wedding day things could not have gone smoother. The music was amazing, Greg kept the guests on the dance floor all night by reading the crowd and picking songs that everyone enjoyed. At the end of the night no one wanted to leave with the entire party chanting "one more song"!! Thank you so much for making our wedding a party to remember! Frano and Morgan

reaming & a photo booth. We took full advantage of almost all of it & our ceremony/reception went far beyond our expectations. He met with us on several occasions (where & when it was convenient for us) & was always happy to go over details & answer any questions we may have had. Plus, he was so super friendly & engaging (yet professional), it made the whole process enjoyable & seamless. I could go on & on, but I will just say if you're looking for a DJ, go with Greg. End of story!

wedding day complete. He is not just music. He does the lighting, photo booth/lounge, custom light heading! You can rest assured that he will help make your day perfect.

over at NorthEast Event Design. Let me begin by saying planning a wedding is not easy and at times can be very stressful. Greg made everything so easy..not once did I stress about anything DJ or MC related. He made us feel like we were his number one priority every time we spoke. Any request we had or advice we needed he was there for us. I can say he bent over backwards for us and went above & beyond for all of our needs. He was friendly and professional..he made us feel at ease and less stressed for our wedding. His uplighting was beautiful and it made our reception look really good. We gave him a lot of control over what songs to play and he got people on the dance floor! We had a tiny wedding of only 36 but there wasn’t a moment the dance floor wasn’t packed. There’s not enough kind words I can say about Greg and how incredibly happy we were with choosing him to be our DJ. Great guy..made our lives easier and less stressed..professional & takes his job very seriously...provides superb entertainment..would highly, highly recommend his services!
