We are so glad that DJ Jon Blak performed at our wedding! Jon met all of our requests while adding his own flavor, and the dance floor stayed full all night long. Each set (ceremony, cocktails, and reception) was perfect and really helped make our special day complete. Scratch Music group helped us find the right DJ and made it easy to communicate our requests and vibe in advance of our wedding.
DJ Reshaun was awesome! He had amazing transitions into songs and different parts of the night. We danced all night! Everything was wonderfully coordinated and stress free, as the bride and groom, we didn't have to worry about anything. DJ Reshaun was professional, organized, and one step ahead all day.
DJ D-Twead was amazing. He played everything we requested and kept the party going all night. We had a variety of ages there and everyone was able to dance and have a great time.
DJ D-Twead was the most amazing DJ! Everyone is still talking about what an excellent job he did! The music was great and everyone was on the floor dancing the whole night!
We used Scratch weddings and in particular, DJ Cincere for our October Wedding at Terrain in Glen Mills. He was absolutely wonderful, got there on time despite hitting a ton of traffic, was a really good and hilarious MC, very smoothly covered up a few mishaps and did an amazing job getting everyone out on the floor dancing and reading the crowd. Got multiple compliments on the music and on his presence in general. Thank you DJ Cincere!
We hired DJ ADub for our wedding on 10.16.21. Picking a DJ can be hard but after reading all of his reviews we felt confident we were in good hands! He actually by far exceeded our expectations and did an outstanding job! My wedding guests were telling me he was the best wedding DJ they have ever heard and I have to agree! We were so happy with his performance - I literally danced the entire night and so did majority of my guests. His mixing skills were fantastic and he kept the party going until the very last song! People were begging him to keep playing! I highly recommend DJAdub for your wedding if you are looking for great music and a great time!
We heard about Scratch Weddings from The Knot and our venue. Through COVID and related wedding setups, Scratch Weddings was our easiest vendor to deal with, always responsive and extremely accommodating. Their process for reviewing prospective DJs by their music styles and selecting music for the wedding was easy to use and required a much shorter amount of time than I expected before finding Scratch Weddings. Their DJ arrived at the venue on time, set up the equipment (part of the package, i.e., one less venue setup piece to worry about) and knew exactly what to do without missing a beat thanks to his experience and Scratch’s planning process. If you want a worry-free DJ experience, Scratch is a great option!
Scratch Weddings is a fantastic wedding entertainment company. They are the epitome of professionalism and completely had our backs throughout the process.
DJ Qlassick was FIRE! He had the dance floor going ALL night and even checked in with my husband and I throughout the night. He was really great to work with prior to the big day as well. We had a meeting about a week out where we discussed our vision for the day, and he completely heard us and made it happen. I've had people ask me for their contact info after the event.
I would absolutely book Scratch/Qlassick again!
DJ Tweed and the staff at Scratch Weddings were super attentive, professional, and committed to executing our musical vision and the wedding playlist . To be perfectly blunt, DJ Tweed presided over and spun ALL the hits at an EPIC dance party. DJ Tweed and the Scratch Wedding team provided friendly and punctual service which was appreciated because planning a wedding has so many moving parts. Worrying about the DJ was never our concern. Highly Recommended.
I'll preface this review by stating that DJ D Tweed was a huge hit. He kept everyone dancing all night and totally understood what we were looking for. His energy was awesome and we could not recommend him more. He literally saved the night.
However, we can in no way recommend Scratch given our horrific experience over the last several months. The stress we were put through on multiple occasions and the incompetence of the entire staff at Scratch was truly astounding.
Our issues started in January after signing a contract with Scratch. We had selected a specific DJ, based on his demos and our tastes, and had paid our deposit (half of the cost) right then and there. Only after signing and paying were we told that this DJ would not be able to play, since he did not have a car to be able to drive to our venue (an hour and a half outside of nyc). This was surprising since this specific DJ was written into our contract, as was our venue location. While we were frustrated that we had already paid and felt taken advantage of, we put it behind us and picked another DJ.
They then tried to charge us the deposit amount a second time, which luckily we were able to catch before the money went through.
In the months leading up to our wedding, I tried to get on the phone with Scratch to begin planning our music choices, etc. Our appointed contact on the corporate side, Brandi, was unresponsive and said we couldn't begin discussing music until 3 weeks before. Planning a wedding is stressful enough, and we didn't want to leave anything to the last minute, but they were unflexible and refused to work with our schedule. Once we were finally able to schedule a call, she canceled it the day of. When we did finally get on the phone with Brandi and our second DJ, had maybe a 5 minute conversation, and that was it. We were a little confused, but trusted them.
Then, TWO days before our wedding, we get an email from Brandi stating that our second DJ had to cancel because of family issues. She assigned us a new DJ, who we had to bring up to speed literally the Friday of our wedding weekend, when we should have been enjoying ourselves.
But here's the icing on the cake -- if you are going to have a DJ cancel on us due to “family issues”, they should be careful not to utilize social media during the evening in question. We saw on Instagram that the DJ was actually at another event, and had canceled on us to perform elsewhere instead. Guess we weren’t a priority?
Three DJ's later, we ended up having a great night. But this is incredibly unprofessional, and an absolutely unacceptable way to treat your clients. If you care at all about being a priority, I would not recommend going with Scratch. They could care less about the experience of the couples they are working with, and will dump you if a better opportunity comes along.
Scratch Weddings was so easy to work with throughout the entire wedding process. They ensured all our questions were answered and they were extremely responsive. They offer a variety of different artists that speak to a wide range of personalities and musical taste. Scratch Weddings will work with you to get a sense for the vibe you are looking for and work to match you with your perfect DJ / musical artist and that is how we got matched with DJ Jon Blak.
To put it simply, DJ Jon Blak was absolutely phenomenal. His music selection had every single guest at our wedding, no matter what age, out of their seats and on the dance floor the entire night. He captured the exact energy and vibe we were trying to exude on our special day. DJ Jon Blak put in the extra effort to get to know us as a couple, understand the music that speaks to us and gets us energized, and that truly came through during our wedding day. DJ Jon Blak was with us from start to finish on our wedding day - the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception - and he did not falter once. He was the perfect hype man for our special occasion - in fact, SO many of our guests, guests our age and our parents age, told us it was the best selection of music they have ever heard at a wedding. We HIGHLY recommend DJ Jon Blak and Scratch Weddings for your next event.
DJ Jon Blak was incredible - you want him for any party! Our guests were on the dance floor all night, ages 18-70. We were so relieved to find a DJ who wasn't cheesy or focused on lighting gimmicks. He was an excellent MC, hitting the perfect tone during announcements, and kept the energy high on the dance floor. We were very happy with the team at Scratch to prepare in advance, including their music match profile. We gave Jon some general guidelines and he really wowed us. Multiple guests requested his contact info from him and from us after the wedding. We had high expectations and Jon exceeded every one!
We went with this company because Action Jackson works for them. My husband was at a wedding that Jeff Jackson was DJing and really wanted him as our dj at our wedding. Jeff had his work cut out for him, as several members of our family are big dj critics and are not afraid to admit it! Jeff arrived early and had everything set up for our pastor at our ceremony. We had live music for the ceremony and cocktail hour, but Jeff was still there before it all started! Jeff reviewed everything with us throughout the night and checked for errors to make sure that everything went perfectly. He did a beautiful job with our announcements, did a fantastic job blending two songs together for our mother son dance and kept our dance floor packed all night! Jeff checked with us prior to playing requests and didn't play anything that we didn't want played. We received so many compliments about Jeff's DJing. Music can make or break a wedding and Jeff did a flawless job!
DJ Qlassick did a pretty good job at our wedding! He was very nice and has a great emcee presence and voice. He did mispronounce my parents last name, which was disappointing since we went over the pronunciation more than once and I provided him with a written pronunciation as well. He also announced one of my bridesmaids as a JR bridesmaid even though I filled out a sheet with all of the names and details. He did a great job of keeping the energy up and had great transitions between the songs! Besides the minor flukes, DJ Qlassick did a great job.
Scratch weddings did a great job with the music for our wedding. The DJ read the vibe of the room and got everyone dancing. Everyone commented on how great the music was and how much fun they had!
Beware of the DJ that you get. Mine yelled at my mother, went to the bathroom for over 20 minutes and yelled at my guests who asked if he was okay, played the wrong playlist and ended up just playing what he wanted and then was unresponsive when my wedding planner asked him to stop and to play the music I had worked hard to put together. They seemed disorganized as they initially had a playlist for another person with my name and played that for almost a half hour before I came in and caught it. They also charged my card without conscent because they forgot to charge...and they conviently charged an amount that wasn't approved (I had negotiated a discount because of the DJs behavior). Be really careful with this company, hopefully the change in employees is a helpful one.
Can't say enough good things about DJ Jon Blak. The guy is truly a master of his craft. He played crazy good music, kept the crowd dancing like wild all night, young and old, and no one wanted to leave when it was all over! Also a super nice guy and very easy to work with. Wedding wouldn't have been as good without him.
Prior to our wedding night Columbus Day Weekend in the Catskills, my husband and I spend a good amount of time going adding music to the Music Match System, and in a prep call with DJ, he made sure to understand all of our choices and our desired flow for the night. Come wedding day, DJ Revuleo was the perfect party starter, and he kept it going all night long! We decided to kick things off with dancing right away (vs. wait until after dinner), and it was the best decision. We had so many people complain that their food was cold, because they were too busy dancing to stop and eat, ha! The music so great, we even added extra time, because NO ONE WANTED TO LEAVE THE DANCE FLOOR. We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ. He killed it. Book Scratch and DJ Revuleo today!
DJ Rashaun was the BEST! The morning after our wedding, the owners of our venue told us that they had never seen a group that danced as much as ours did and that is thanks to Scratch Weddings. DJ Rashaun was fun, polite, attentive, and amazing at what he does! The energy in the room was so good. My fiance and I loved the software that let us craft our music playlist, too. I wish we could have a dance party like that every week. Highly recommend!
DJ Vida was one of the biggest highlights of our wedding! Our guests were raving about her throughout our reception. People kept saying to us: your DJ is amazing!! Even in the days after the wedding, we were getting messages asking if we could get her playlist! She definitely kept the dance floor going all night, which was exactly what we wanted. We also found that it was easy to coordinate and communicate our song preferences. The nice thing about going with a service like Scratch is their professionalism and the fact that in the worst case scenario, if your DJ can’t make it, they will send a backup DJ. Overall, we highly recommend working with Scratch and DJ Vida!
Scratch weddings were so great to work with. They provided samples of all DJs so you can choose a DJ to match your style. DJ Jon Blak was incredible!!! After speaking on the phone I could tell he knew exactly what my husband and I imagined for our wedding. I love that he took our playlists and added to them songs that he could tell we would love based on the music we chose. I also love that he played any song I randomly asked him to play the day of. Everyone at my wedding could not stop talking about how amazing he was!!! Thank you Jon Blak!!
DJ Trife was amazing! I got married 9/22/17 in Montauk and it was one epic party! DJ Trife kept the dancefloor going the entire night (it was packed!) & everyone has an absolute blast. Sandra & Kim made the planning process so easy & they were so kind & responsive throughout it all. Would highly recommend - you will not be disappointed!!
Our DJ (DJ Marvl) kept people on the dance floor all night. If you don't want a conventional DJ, this is the way to go. Brandi is also very helpful in getting everything organized. My dad had quite a complicated request for our dance song, and they made it happen. We did pick some songs that didn't get played, and heard a lot that we hadn't picked, but it seemed he was reading the crowd and playing to what they were getting into. Thank you DJ Marvl!
If I could rate more than 5 stars I absolutely would. Scratch weddings was easy to work with and always available to answer questions. We were very particular about our music choices- wanting a feel of a 90s block party with a mix of other throw backs, classics, and country songs. We told DJ Trife we wanted him to play everything we put on our list (they have a music program where you add all the songs you want prior to the wedding which was super helpful). He played everything we wanted and even threw in a few others that fit perfectly. The amount of compliments we received on the music was overwhelming and everyone was on the dance floor for hours. I cannot compliment DJ Trife enough and you would be making a mistake if you did not choose him for your event. Beyond thrilled with our decision and would choose Scratch/DJ Trife again in a heartbeat.
What a great DJ company! They were so easy to work with. The timeline setup was so easy to follow, the match music program they use was a great software to use. I love how we could go on and customize everything! DJ Trife was very chill and provided such a good atmosphere. He legit had ever single person up and dancing right after dinner. Very happy with the service!
Couples & interested clients beware: DO NOT HIRE SCRATCH!!! We are extremely disappointed and upset with the DJ Services we received for our wedding in May and lack of professionalism from the company representatives thereafter.
Before your wedding, Scratch provides a web-interface that allows you to select the songs you want to be played during the various segments of the ceremony, reception, etc. This seemed like a really great way to choose your set-list, and we spent a lot of time picking out our most important songs—including the song that my wife wanted to walk down the aisle to. On our wedding day, DJ Carver had forgotten to download that song (and others) despite us having a call to walk through the timeline. You can imagine our surprise when a random wedding song played instead of the song that had sentimental value to me and my wife.
As if this was not bad enough, during dinner, DJ Carver left a playlist running and stepped away from the DJ-booth. I totally understand that he needed to eat dinner (which we provided), but he left for so long that the playlist started to repeat. Our day-of coordinator spent 15 minutes trying to track him down to get him to change the playlist. He was absent from the booth for other extended periods of time throughout the night.
When my wife and I were ready to start dancing later in the night, DJ Carver was nowhere to be found. When we finally located him, he rudely said to my wife: “What do you want? I heard you were looking for me.” (Are you kidding me? We want you to do what we are paying you to do—play music!)
His unprofessionalism was mirrored by the staff and mangers at the company. I had a call with them to explain how upset we were, and they promised to investigate and get back to me. It’s been 3 weeks, and they have completely ignored me. They don’t care whatsoever about the service they provide and clearly have no cares about whether their clients had a miserable experience with their DJs. DO NOT USE THEM.
Scratch Weddings and DJ Twin-T provided the most amazing music selection for our wedding reception! Scratch Weddings was recommended to me by two different friends. Music is so important to me, and I wanted a reception with music that I love. We wanted our guests to be dancing, because that is one of the best things of any wedding. We were so happy that all of our guests from ages 6 to 80 were out on the dance floor from the very beginning of the wedding reception. DJ Twin-T created a beautiful, fun vibe. She played our favorite songs from so many genres, and made them flow. Many of our guests commented on how great our DJ was! I wish we could do our wedding reception all over again! The day went by so quickly, and that is because DJ Twin-T brought our guests together with music.
We were recommended to Scratch Weddings by our venue as a preferred vendor.
The sales process was great, the coordinator OK and from the DJ onward, it goes down from there. Our DJ was DJ Alkaline (aka Tommy).
Our wedding was a production in itself so it needed much more precision than a typical wedding.
Before the wedding, we had a call with both the coordinator and the DJ to go through the schedule and activities minute-by-minute.
The ceremony and exit song was played without a hitch so that went well.
The first problem was we hired a famous performer to be the emcee and performer and the DJ was supposed to announce her based on a script we prepared. No one could hear the DJ's introduction properly. She even had to re-introduced herself when she came on.
The second mess up was we had 3 video clips that needs to be played in a certain order. My brother was controlling the video playback and needed to stream the audio through the DJ's mixer. The DJ kept asking my brother to play the last video, which needed to follow our first toast and speech, not at the beginning.
The Day of Coordinator tried to do his job and coordinate with the DJ but the DJ simply was not listening to him, despite the fact they requested for them to remind them on the schedule.
Finally, the DJ messed up our first dance song mid way through, not from the beginning.
Thankfully that was the last of the mess ups. I wouldn't recommend anyone to Scratch if they had precise instructions for their wedding.
Scratch was recommended by my venue and after talking to numerous DJs we decided to go with them. They were extremely easy to work with and DJ Fingersmith did a fantastic job! He used the songs from our playlist, but also read the crowd to make sure everyone was dancing. Everyone had a blast!
I was specifically referred to a DJ who works for Scratch. My largest issue with the company itself is that I wasn't ever able to directly communicate with the DJ. This was concerning for me, since we had a choreographed first dance with two different parts of two different songs. It ended up working out because we used the music created for us by our dance teacher. There was one conference call with the DJ, myself, and the Scratch representative a few weeks before the wedding. However, if I had anything to communicate with the DJ about the events of the night during the wedding planning process, every single point of communication had to be emailed to the rep, who forwarded it to the DJ, who responded to the rep, and communicated it back to me. It all seemed like an unnecessary game of 'telephone', but I suppose that's how franchises work. They were very professional and organized though. The communication between myself and the DJ wouldn't have been as complicated, nor would I have been as frustrated, had the rep been more responsive via email. Every time I tried to call her on her direct extension, she never picked up, nor did she call me back. She would always email me back, at her convenience, relaying an excuse as to why she was unavailable via phone. On the night of the wedding, the DJ was great minus a few hiccups, which are bound to happen. However, I do believe they could have been avoided, had I been allowed to directly communicate with him regarding the events of the day. Minor hiccups are as follows: 1) In our signed contract, it stated that we were able to add lighting options at an additional cost. When I told the rep we would like uplighting, she simply stated that the DJ we requested does not have uplighting anymore. Ultimately, we ended up getting the uplighting, but it was due to my aggressive tenacity vs. the company attempting to comply with the services stated in the contract. 2) We attempted to do a version of the "dollar dance". I verbatim wrote how I wanted him to explain it to the guests, so they could understand the gist of the situation. I did say that he did not have to word-for-word quote what I wrote but did want him to include all of the information, so the song choices and our version of the "dollar dance" was understood by all. This was not properly explained, in the moment, yielding confusion about the whole thing. 3) Rather than saying my dad's name for the father/daughter dance, he announced mine and my husband's name...soon after we just completed our first dance. 4) Because my husband and I had a choreographed first dance, I was unable to wear my wedding dress. The plan was to change right before the reception entrance and change right back into my wedding dress after the speeches, which followed our first dance. After the best man's speech, I got up and left the room to change, but there was a noticeable awkwardness in the room. Guests thought something was wrong, which was why I was running out of the ballroom. I'm a strong believer that the DJ controls the events of the night and significantly impacts the energy of the evening. This strange pause might have been able to be avoided had he smoothed it over by saying something like, "Enjoy your salads, etc..." and played a song. Idk, anything but silence. This slight detail was not communicated to him though, so it's not like he messed up. Again, it goes back to the communication issue as previously stated. Had I been able to easily communicate with the DJ, it would have helped me to be able to notify the DJ of more minor details like a dress change. One the aspects I really liked about Scratch Weddings was their Music Match website and the layout. It was easy to use and allowed for great customization with the ability to comment.
We hired Scratch Weddings for our wedding at Brooklyn Winery and used DJ Twin-T. The whole process was smooth and guided from beginning to end, which I very much appreciated since I hadn't planned big events in NYC before. They are clearly seasoned experts. Some of the best things:
1) They coordinated directly with the venue to arrange things like the sound system, arrival time, setup, etc. It was very seamless for me.
2) They let you choose your own DJ based on sound clips they send you. If you don't like any of the initial ones they send over, you can request more.
3) DJ Twin-T was AMAZING at reading the room and understanding our vibe for the wedding. We weren't really sure what exact songs should be played for the pre-ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner time, etc. (basically background music), so left it in her hands, and she did it perfectly. For the songs that we did tell her we wanted played, she put them on at the right time and didn't leave any out.
Unfortunately, choosing to book with Scratch was the worst decision I made.. and really the one and only thing that went wrong with our wedding.
It was horrible to say the least. The DJ seemed confused and unprepared. He started out by playing the wrong first dance song. He wasn’t interactive and made awkward and unclear announcements. When he introduced the toasts for the best man and maid of honor he asked the guests on the mic if that’s what was supposed to be happening at the time... didn't use their names or guide the process in anyway. It was very awkward. He had horrible song transitions. The music would go from an awesome fast song and everyone on the dance floor dancing, then the music would just stop... literally there would be a break in the music and then switch to a un-danceable song. So all my guests were left just standing around on the dance floor watching each other... He played my must play dinner songs during prime time dancing time and vice versa. He played awesome dancing songs right when everyone was sitting down to eat! It seemed like it was his first day ever DJing. Luckily, i have a great group of family and friends so guests were electric and excited, everyone was on the dance floor all night despite the music weirdness and awkward choices.
I wrote this review and emailed the company not to complain but it hopes that they can do something to prevent this from happening to another couple. The DJ we had should not be booked for another wedding until he has some better training and understanding what a DJ should do. He is not a professional. My photographer, wedding planner and venue maitre'd were astounded at how terrible it was. If i had to do it again i would go with a smaller company that knows their DJs well and uses the same ones over and over.
It seems that Scratch sub contracts out different DJs, some of whom they have never met before so you might not be getting accurate reviews on the DJ you choose. I was surprised because the final meeting seemed to go pretty well. Guess i was wrong! They still haven't responded to my displeased email.
We were pretty disappointed with the DJ. I'll start at the beginning: The process for engaging Scratch is seamless and the account people are responsive. Our issue is not with them but with the actual DJ - Tommy, formerly Alkaline.
During the introductory call with Tommy, I felt the chemistry was off and expressed that concern to our account person. She reassured me that the issue was because we had a poor phone connection (my now-husband and I were out of the country) and that he was fantastic. So we moved ahead. I should have trusted my gut. These were the prevailing issues:
- The biggest was sound. The volume was intense - three of us asked him to turn it down (me, the day of coordinator AND my maid of honor). He didn't. My uncle blew out his hearing and the doctor is not sure he will regain it.
- I specifically asked that everyone be invited to the dance floor following the parents' dance because I do not like the "invite married couples to join." He invited married couples to join.
- By the end of the evening, he was not playing songs that got people on the dance floor and I didn't recognize a single tune.
- My mother asked him to place two country songs and he continued playing that genre afterwards. I asked him to move to something else as no one was dancing and he gave me a dirty look.
There were a few other minor things. None of this was "ruin the wedding" bad but definitely made for a disappointing experience.
It's not that I wouldn't use Scratch to source a DJ, but I'd definitely follow my own gut in the selection process.
Scratch wedding DJ's helped make our wedding the awesome party we had envisioned. Andy (aka DJ AK Vybz) did an amazing job. We had 2 calls prior to the wedding and he really got what we wanted. They also have this amazing tool on their site to help select music for every possible event within the wedding. We wanted everyone on the dance floor all night long and they were! I would highly recommend them for their professionalism and great customer service.
I had a blast at my sisters wedding and was extremely happy with the DJ. The DJ played the best songs and had the greatest environment! I highly recommend it.
Tammy was excellent! She did a great job of reading the room, and including our requests. Guests continue to comment on how great the music was. Scratch made the planning very easy, and we appreciated their responsiveness.
We had a great experience with Scratch! DJ Jon Blak was the DJ we had for our big day, and he really did a great job. All we wanted was people dancing all night, and we certainly got that! The process of filling out our music work sheet and reviewing it with Jon prior to the wedding was great. We were able to talk through our ideas and ensure that things would be seamless on the big day. Thank you Scratch!
When it came to finding a DJ – we had no idea where to start. Photographers and videographers are easier because you see their work online, but DJs were a little trickier. My husband had found Scratch DJs through his research and we were instantly intrigued – they go through quite the process to pick their DJs, and they use actual turntables which was cool! We initially spoke with their Music Manager, Adrienne and had a great experience from the start. She was nice, super knowledgeable and we quickly got excited about the potential to work with Scratch. After picking a DJ from a list Adrienne sent, we then worked with their Talent Manager Liz to plan out the rest of the day and she was just as great! The whole process was easy and seamless.
Now onto the DJ we picked – DJ Adub. Our goal was to have our dance floor packed the entire time, and in short – DJ Adub NAILED it! He played quite the mix of music and our guests loved every moment of it. He was able to read the crowd and keep them moving the entire night! It was really really important for me to have awesome music (because I love to dance myself and I’ve certainly been to weddings where the music was so so and people were sitting around.) DJ ADub and Scratch absolutely exceeded our expectations!
Was very happy with our DJ, DJ Trife. The process of selecting a DJ was stressful at first but Scratch made it really easy to get matched with the right DJ for what you want. We were extremely happy with DJ Trife, he made the entire evening a blast. The music for each part of the night was perfect, I haven't danced so much in my life! All our guests had a great time too.
Our wedding was on November 11, 2017, and we had the pleasure of working with DJ Ollie. DJ Ollie was absolutely incredible -- professional, punctual, fun, and had all of the wedding guests dancing all night long. Our wedding was pretty diverse, with a ages ranging from five to mid-seventies, and several different races and backgrounds. DJ Ollie was able to read the room exceptionally well and made sure that a wonderful time was had by all. I'm still getting compliments from wedding guests telling me that this was the best wedding they'd ever been to, and there's no doubt in my mind that DJ Ollie and Scratch Weddings had a lot to do with that!
Sandra Usherov was the manager and point of contact that we worked with at Scratch, and she was also great. Very organized, kind, and knowledgeable. I was also a huge fan of Music Match, the database that Scratch uses which allows the bride and groom (and any friends or family members the link is shared with) to input all of the music they'd like played at all different points of the evening. It simplified and streamlined the planning process.
DJ Fingersmith was fantastic! Our playlist was a mix of funky 80s, disco and a fair bit of Turkish pop. For DJ Fingersmith, it was no big
deal :) He intermingled Turkish songs in the middle of English songs as if he knew the Turkish songs all along. All the guests were extremely happy with the music and the dance-floor was full throughout the night. We had a call with the DJ about a week before the wedding and roughly planned out the set; however, even in the night of, we and the guests had requests songs, etc. DJ Fingersmith was super accommodating and played those additional songs really well as well.
He was energetic and kind and was great to work with! Finally, Scratch weddings was also great to work with. They provide you with a software
that makes planning and choosing the songs to play during the wedding really easy. They were responsive and proffessional. We would
recommend both DJ Fingersmith and Scratch Weddings to everyone.
Excellent!! DJ Cool Out was amazing and very professional. We got many compliments on the DJ.
Scratch was fantastic! I loved working with them - their software for setting up our wedding songs and playlists was so fun and so easy to use.
Unfortunately, our original DJ had a family emergency a few days before the wedding. But, Scratch took care of it and found us a replacement DJ in no time and he was awesome! DJ Dave Ali kept everyone dancing all night and was so friendly and kind to us - I'm happy he ended up being our DJ.
Scratch was responsive and helpful throughout the process and it was so good to have a DJ who could work off the crowd and adjust his playlist accordingly. I can't recommend them enough!
Wonderful! They were very thorough and made sure all our favorite songs were played! A seriously fun time!!
I took a class at Scratch Academy and when my fiancee (wife now) suggested looking into Scratch, it made perfect sense to me.
The process is pretty painless. You speak with a consultant to discuss the type of music you want and from there we got a list of DJ's. We frequent a hip hop club called Fat Buddha and we were able to get DJ Marvl who we've seen spin before. We also get to pick the songs we wanted to walk out to, play throughout the night and DJ Marvl made a very memorable night with some incredible music and scratching.
DJ Marvl also brought some wireless speakers and microphones for our ceremony and it was perfect. Overall these guys made our wedding super fun!
DJ Jon Black is the best. I had everyone come up to me at my wedding saying how amazing my DJ was and wanted to steal him for their wedding. He played songs keeping everyone on the dance floor and kept the energy high all night. He was so attentive to my husband and I throughout the night and threw an AMAZING dance party. The best at Scratch by far. Highly recommend.
We were referred to Scratch Weddings by a friend and after viewing videos, chose DJ Bent for our wedding day. We had several conference calls with Sandra and Bent, who were both instrumental in our planning process and were a huge help in putting together our wedding day timeline. We finally got to meet Bent on our wedding day, and he was awesome! He was great about moving everything along and keeping us on track time-wise and made several announcements for us, regarding food, our sparkler send off, etc. to help guide our guests through the evening. He definitely used our song requests throughout the night but also made several awesome additions. Bent kept everyone on the dance floor the entire night, and we had a blast celebrating!
I came across DJ Action Jackson of Scratch Weddings at a Wayfair wedding event and the tunes he played completely resonated with my friend and I. I had to have that guy DJ our wedding! Our choice was further confirmed when we met with he and the Scratch wedding coordinator, discussing the details we preferred and ensuring we were on the same page. The planning meetings, detail documentation and online music match page allowed us to know our favorite songs would be played, and all the details we envisioned would go off without a hitch. The night of our wedding was a blast and we can honestly say that the dance floor was full of smiling dancing guests from the second the music started! He was great at playing off the mood and hitting each generation of folks we had invited. There was a minor issue with the pro activeness of the Scratch coordinators- we had to reach out to them about final payment and a final meeting, whereas I expected the opposite to happen. But other than that, it was a dance packed wedding and we are forever thankful for the amazing job DJ Action Jackson did at keeping the dance party going until the very end of the night!
Our experience with Scratch Weddings was incredible and we highly recommend them! DJ Vida was the perfect fit for our wedding in Brooklyn. Our dance floor was busy all night, and several of our guests commented on how awesome she was. We had an absolute blast!! Jenn was the first person we came into contact with after our venue recommended Scratch. She was great and helped us choose DJ Vida. Sandra managed our wedding and worked with us through the entire process after booking. Everyone we dealt with was friendly, prompt, helpful, and professional. We were able to select our own playlists for each part of the evening through music match, which was fun and easy to use. Thank you so very much to everyone at Scratch! Our wedding truly was the best day of our lives, and you helped make it so, so fun!!!
DJ Bent was absolutely amazing! We could not have asked for a better DJ for our special day. Music was my husband's most important aspect of the wedding and he came in with high expectations- all of which DJ Bent exceeded. We required Spanish music (bachata, merengue, salsa) along with hip hop, R&B to accommodate all of our tastes in music. He really knew how to feel out the crowd and kept all of our guests dancing the entire night. We got married 2 months ago, and our friends & family are still raving about how great the entertainment was! You can't go wrong with Scratch Weddings- they give you the opportunity to pick a DJ that fits you. We highly recommend them.
We worked with Scratch to book DJ Alias for our wedding, and we couldn't have been happier. DJ Alias was AMAZING. We had such an amazing dance floor all night, and a big part of that was that DJ Alias was SO good at reading the room. If he noticed a shift in the average age of those on or around the dance floor, he would subtly transition the music accordingly. We even had one guest who said, "I didn't think I would ever think a DJ was the right choice for a wedding, but you proved me wrong." Thank you, Scratch and DJ Alias, for helping making our night so much fun!
I absolutely loved working with Scratch Weddings and totally recommend them as your wedding DJ, especially DJ Revuleo! After gathering estimates from several different DJs, my husband and I decided on Scratch Weddings because their rates were very reasonable and they didn’t charge for traveling to our wedding venue in upstate New York. My initial phone call was with Jenn, their wedding manager. During our telephone conversation, Jenn gathered important information such as our different musical tastes and how involved we wanted a DJ to be during the wedding and reception. Afterwards, Jenn provided us with a list of DJs that she thought would be a good fit for us, including their resumes and sample mixes of their music. I thought it was a great introduction to the different DJs as we was able to listen to their music and see if we liked them. Once we chose DJ Revuleo, we began working with Sandra, their operations manager. Sandra gave us a very detailed timeline on what to expect from them and on what they expect from us leading up to the wedding. They were organized, professional, and diligent, which I absolutely appreciated as I was long-distance wedding planning. In addition to giving us a timeline, Sandra also set us up with their Music Match account so that during the months leading up to the wedding, my husband, friends, family, and I could build a music playlist for the wedding party introductions, dinner, and dancing. It was so easy and fun! A couple of weeks before the wedding, Sandra, DJ Revuleo, my husband, and I had a telephone conference call about all of the details of the wedding – the day-of timeline, introductions, toasts, music to play, music not to play. Sandra and DJ Revuleo were such a delight to work with as they made everything so simple and stress-free. The day of the wedding, DJ Revuleo was on time, set up his equipment with no problems, and was great throughout the reception (was involved when he needed to be but didn’t take over the reception). Everyone absolutely LOVED the music that he played – the dance floor was always packed with people! Afterwards, several people came up to me to compliment DJ Revuleo’s music and to say that they had so much fun dancing all night long. To me and my husband, the reception music was one of our top priorities for our wedding as we wanted to make sure our guests were on the dance floor all night long. Scratch Weddings and DJ Revuleo helped us achieve this, and we can’t thank them enough!
DJ Fingersmith was awesome!!! We gave him a VERY challenging playlist and he made it all flow seamlessly throughout the night. We received SO many compliments from guests on the music and the dance floor was full all night long! Scratch Weddings made the planning/prep process easy and fun. They could not have been nicer throughout and really helped everything flow smoothly the day-of.
DJ Alias made our August wedding simply the best. During our call the week before our wedding, we explained the kind of vibe and music we wanted. He hit the nail directly on the head. Our dance floor was packed with both old and young guests the entire night. People almost forgot to eat their dinner because they were having so much fun. People on our wedding day and after continue to tell us how amazing our wedding and DJ was. Thank you so much DJ Alias for helping us have such an amazing day!
DJ Alias had the dance floor jumping all night! he and his team were such a pleasure to work with! If you want lots of fun and dancing book Scratch right away!!
Thanks Scratch Team!
Great job and reasonably priced! They read our crowd very well and played music according to what was getting the best reaction- even if that meant it left out some of the songs my husband and I requested (we would've preferred the full dance floor!). A definite recommend!
DJ Qlassick was INCREDIBLE! We are so happy we used Scratch Weddings for our wedding day. DJ Qlassick was kind, fun, truly kept our guests dancing all night long. Our wedding day was amazing, and DJ Qlassick/Scratch Weddings was a huge part of that. I highly recommend Scratch Weddings & DJ Qlassick for anyone getting married!
Scratch weddings was definitely the right choice to go with. They were always prompt with getting back to you about any questions or concerns you had. You give them a little taste of the style of music you're into and they suggest a few djs that they think you would like. You're also able to pick out all your options for songs and then it's up to the Dj to make a playlist up out of all your choices. We went with Dj tracktion who was great. He had the dance floor packed all night. He wasn't loud and obnoxious like some djs could be on the mic but was still entertaining and used the mic as he thought necessary. My wife and I could not have asked for a better wedding reception. All the guests said it was the best wedding they've been to, and a lot of that has to do with scratch weddings and Dj Tracktion! I highly recommend them to get your party going!
Scratch was fantastic. We hired DJ Fingersmith for our wedding. Afterwards, I had multiple guests tell me he was the "unsung hero" of the night. He barely spoke except when making announcements, yet kept everyone on the dance floor all night. It was so nice to have a DJ that sort of fell into the background yet kept the party going. I've been to other weddings where I've felt like the DJ tried to make it their personal show and was concerned about that going in to it. He shattered that concern from the first song to the end. I had multiple guests comment on the fact that they've never been to a wedding where every single guest was out on the dance floor. Great job, Scratch and DJ Fingersmith. I'd choose you again in a second.
FANTASTIC - If I could give Scratch 10 stars, I would! I got married on June 17, 2017 in Rockland County, NY and had DJ Cincere - who was phenomenal (HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM). He was the DJ at our friends wedding last year in PA and we loved him. Since he's based out of Philly we paid the additional travel charge for him to come to NY and it was definitely worth the extra $200. He had everyone up and dancing before dinner was even served and the number of compliments we have received from guests regarding the DJ made it pretty clear how great Cincere was!
The whole process was seamless and everyone we worked with was friendly, professional and helpful. My husband and I also loved Music Match and found it very user-friendly. Overall great experience and will be recommending Scratch Weddings to all my friends.
