Style Matters

Matters shared a detailed DJ Questionnaire, which required some time to fill out but was very helpful to share our vision with our DJ. We met with Max 2 weeks before the event, and aligned on our schedule and song choices for the evening. Max was an awesome DJ and kept the dance floor lively throughout the night. He played 99% of our must-plays and was attentive to what music resonated with our guests. We definitely recommend Style Matters and Max for anyone planning a wedding/event!

ections as well as go over the details of the ceremony. During the reception, he did a great job with music selections, though the song transitions tended to happen really early on in a song, making for long stretches of song mixing, which was not quite to our preference.

gn on our vision, which gave us so much confidence that the music would fit the vibe we wanted. On the wedding day, he absolutely delivered—keeping the dance floor packed all night long! Our guests are still raving about how much fun they had. Couldn’t recommend Style Matters and DJ John more!

ng ensemble for our garden themed wedding. Spencer matched us with DJ Duke who was incredibly easy to work with. He understood all the facets of our program and executed flawlessly on coordinating the audio and music for the ceremony and reception, we had no issues the entire day. Duke also really understood what we were looking for when it came to the music - we love a range of music (electronic/house, disco, pop) and Duke knew how to perfectly mix the styles together to keep everyone dancing all night. If you're looking for somebody who can read the crowd and keep the energy high, and especially somebody who knows how to weave in electronic/house music, we highly recommend requesting Duke!

ofessional who kept most of the butts on the dance floor all night!

e pricing, and matched us with our DJ, Jonathan who totally understood the assignment! We created pretty extensive playlists because we are big music people and he nailed it! Great dj skills mixing and making all the transitions fun! He was on time and everyone had a blast! Thank you Jonathan and Spencer!!!

ication and understanding of curating an awesome experience for our guests was exceptional. Would highly recommend Style Matters and Duke!

ked with Spencer throughout the planning process, and he was an absolute gem—kind, super responsive, and genuinely helpful with every question we had leading up to the day. For the ceremony and cocktail hour, we hired their string trio, and they were absolutely amazing. The music was beautiful and truly elevated the atmosphere—so many guests commented on how lovely it sounded! Our DJ for the reception was Margot, and she was fantastic. She struck the perfect balance of being fun and energetic while also staying professional and respectful of our preferences. She followed our "do not play" list carefully, but still read the crowd perfectly and played a great mix of songs that kept the dance floor packed until midnight! Her announcements throughout the evening were clear and well-timed, and the overall sound quality for both the reception and earlier parts of the day was excellent. We’re so happy we chose Style Matters and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-tier music and service for their big day!

ive phone consultation with Spencer Lokken (owner) and completing a detailed questionnaire, I clearly communicated our vision for our wedding DJ. Spencer confidently assured me he had the perfect match for our event. Unfortunately, what we received was the complete opposite of what we requested. What we asked for: A highly skilled, charismatic DJ with creative mixing abilities and exceptional turntablist skills who could energize our celebration. What we got: A DJ (Margot/Diskokitty) who delivered a lackluster performance with below-average technical skills and zero enthusiasm as an MC. The Impact on Our Wedding Day The DJ’s performance was so noticeably poor that multiple guests approached us asking, “What’s wrong with the DJ? It’s like she doesn’t even want to be here.” This was embarrassing and became a distraction on what should have been our perfect day. Honestly, I could have achieved the same result by pressing play on a Spotify playlist—and saved thousands of dollars in the process. Poor Communication and Planning Beyond the disappointing performance, Spencer’s communication throughout the planning process was untimely and disorganized, creating unnecessary stress during an already demanding time. Broken Promises Style Matters markets themselves with bold claims: “25 of the most talented DJs this city has ever seen.” — They are not. “We will create a unique and incredibly enjoyable experience” — They did not. “There’s simply too much (music) out there to waste people’s time on the stuff they’ve heard a million times before” — We received exactly that: a generic, cookie-cutter wedding DJ set with zero creativity. Final Thoughts While we managed to salvage our celebration and create beautiful memories with our loved ones, the DJ performance was undeniably one of the lowest points of our special day. Save yourself the disappointment and look elsewhere for your wedding entertainment.

t basically anyone could enjoy while also incorporating in some of our favorite songs that have to defined our relationship. They came all the way down to New Orleans for our destination wedding and the dance floor was packed the entire time, even in the rain. We would highly recommend Style Matters for any wedding or event needs, we couldn’t have asked for more from our wedding DJs.

wedding, Devin was great at reading the vibe and got our friends and family all on the floor. Many of our guests raved about how he was able to read the room and locked in on a punk rock vibe that we and our friends enjoyed. He also honored all our requests, including specific slow songs and not having any line dances.

big day and style matters did not disappoint! We were paired with Chris and from the moment we met him we knew he was going to bring the energy and vibe we wanted. Chris listened to everything we wanted and put together amazing music to keep our guests dancing and enjoying the night. He perfectly timed every song including our favorite moment of playing our recessional song right as we leaned in for our first kiss as newlyweds. We would greatly recommend working with them in the future and so would all our friends and family who raved about our music and energy throughout the wedding.

e 2 months prior to the wedding. After numerous emails and being put off, we were assigned Margo. Due to being assigned the DJ the week of the wedding, we had to make time to meet with her during an already very busy and stressful week. She seemed very uninterested in our meeting which was a huge red flag. She was nice, but unfortunately, the experience wasn't what we hoped for. She didn't play most of the songs on our “must-play” or “likes” lists (on the questionnaire provided by the company you put 20 must play songs, and an unlimited amount of songs you like and only about 7 or 8 were played) and instead played random songs we didn't request or want played. The dance floor was decently full throughout the event. Even though we agreed she could take requests after she asked us, she ended up telling our guests no when they asked for songs. Even when I, the bride, requested a song, she told me no and then it randomly started playing about 10 minutes later when I was off getting photos. It was a bit disappointing, to be honest. We had live strings for the ceremony and cocktail hour, they were AMAZING. We also had the live drummer to go along with the DJ, and he was awesome as well. I’m giving 2 stars because the live strings and drummer were amazing and helped elevate the event but our experience with the DJ was not great.

he first met us. He started by getting a sense of who we are and our vibe. Using that, his intuition, and our questionnaire, he presented an initial proposal that was spot on. He worked with our wide ranging song requests to cultivate a seamless dance floor experience; he also read the crowd really well and adjusted accordingly. From an emcee perspective, his timing was impeccable; he took our incorporation of certain movie themes and incorporated it masterfully throughout the evening. He even accommodated a song change for our grand entrance at the last minute and timed it perfectly with our walk to our sweetheart table. All in all, he exceeded any and every expectation we had. Duke is a phenomenal person and is the type of individual that you want guiding the evening and cultivating the vibes along the way.

e, but Max was so easy to work with. He knew that our priority was having people on the dance floor having a great time, and that's exactly what happened. He was very flexible with whatever sorts of things we wanted to do like when we wanted to take a break from the bops to do a traditional dance, and he was able to bring the dance floor vibes all the way back up to max level. EVERYONE was talking about how great our dance floor and dj was. Absolutely the most memorable and special part of our wedding was the dancing, and it's all because of Max. Thank you!

must play" songs. Highly recommend!

ght. 10/10 recommend!

true to our play & do not play lists and put his own flare on the night that was exactly in line with what we wanted. Scotty and the Style Matters team was a pleasure to work with!

he was incredible to work with! He took the time to walk through our vision for the evening from ceremony, to cocktail hour, to dinner hour, to reception/party on the dance floor. We asked him to make a custom mix for our grand entrance, help with the timing of our father/daughter/mother/son dances, and pay close attention to what was getting people on the dance floor, and he did an amazing job! He played all of our “must play songs”, did not play any of the “do not plays”, and read the room. We had a wide range of genres in our must plays and preferred plays - from salsa, to rock, to hip hop, to country, and somehow he found a way to blend them all together in a way that kept everyone engaged. The dance floor was packed ALL night!! We even had people reach out to us the next day and told us the DJ was playing “banger after banger”. We told Duke that we wanted the reception to be a party, and he 100% delivered!

eamlessly, and everyone couldn't stop talking about how great the dancing was at our wedding. We so appreciate Max and Spencer and everyone at Style Matters!

!" It was the best dance party ever. She's also very easy to work with and clearly a consummate professional - she ran through everything she needed from us in one easy call, and then everything was so smooth on the day of. We cannot recommend working with her enough!! THANK YOU Margot, you are so wonderful!!!!

irst meeting when he came prepared with a list of questions that really go to the core of my and my partner's music tastes, which are quite different. To be fair, I'm more a fan of pop and country fan, and my partner is a huge believer that country isn't real music, and EDM / dance pop is where it's at. Duke was able to help us find some common ground and create a playlist that played to both of our preferences and kept the dance floor alive all night long (though my partner would likely still argue that he snuck in one too many "pop country" hits to the playlist for his taste lol). Duke brought so much fun energy to the evening (beyond just the music he also was an amazing emcee) and kept even our older guests engaged and excited to come out and party with some fun oldies toward the beginning of the night before transitioning to more traditional "club" vibes later on that the bridal party could vibe with. Duke was also great in helping us curate our bridal party intros and music for dinner, throwing in some fun Disney songs that had our guests laughing and singing along, absolutely setting the right tone for the night right off the bat. We knew we would be in good hands with Style Matters, but felt so lucky to have Duke be a part of our day and be our music deity for the night.

l requests (ranging from special dances to "please don't use the phrase 'ladies and gentlemen'") and he handled it all, including a little light emceeing, without blinking. (Not literally.) Almost uniquely, he made it hard for me to want to leave the dance floor; he just "got" our vibe perfectly. Highly recommend.

r questions (even when there were multiple coming at him about all kinds of different things!) The DJ we worked with on our wedding day, Margot, was exceptional, professional, and her DJing was beyond spectacular. Our meeting with Margo was about 2 weeks before our wedding, and we chatted with her about setup, which songs we absolutely had to hear (and which we really didn't want to). On our wedding day, she went above and beyond the call of duty. She set everything up herself, she worked with the other vendors for timing purposes, and most importantly, she had the dance floor PACKED from first to last song. She flawlessly transitioned one song to another, she played banger after banger, and we received SO many compliments on the music choices and the atmosphere. "Whatever you're tipping her, it's not enough!" one of our guests said. (Margot, I hope you're happy!) All in all, we were over the moon with the services provided by Style Matters.

asy for us to make sure the experience was crafted to our tastes. We were assigned DJ Archi, and it was clear (both in meeting beforehand and the day of) that he'd taken the time to thoroughly review our questionnaire. He had a great sense of timing and kept the dance floor full during the reception! We did take one star off for the delayed DJ match. From the original pitch, I was under the impression we'd get our DJ about 1-2 months ahead but in reality we got matched less than 2 weeks before the event. In the end, we felt like this didn't hinder the quality of the DJ-ing, but it was nerve-racking so close to the big day. To Spencer's credit, he was very communicative during this time about his efforts to match us as soon as he could.

t genres to cater to all our guests' tastes. He listened to our tastes and helped provide an awesome set list. Esteban's energy and enthusiasm were infectious, and he truly understood the vibe we wanted for our special day. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ to create the perfect atmosphere. We received so many compliments and many people asked how we found such an awesome DJ. Would definitely book Esteban again!

was very easy to work with Spencer to get everything scheduled and everything ran smoothly. I would highly recommend using Style Matters!

sed our must play, do not play list, and followed the genres/vibe we wanted. He also was so kind in coordinating music to go with my dad’s speech. Could not recommend him enough!

iled list of requests/flow of the night as it related to music and we really appreciated that.

e submitted about our music preferences was absolutely taken into account. We got so many compliments about the music during + after the event—Larry was attentive and smart with his curation, had impeccable taste, and totally went with the flow and adapted when there were some technical issues at the venue beyond his control. Huge, huge thanks to Larry & Style Matters for making our wedding absolutely MAGICAL!

ed, incredibly detail-oriented, communicative, and thorough throughout our planning process. He listened to our (many) musical preferences and desires and somehow managed to incorporate our lengthy list of must-have songs, keeping us and our guests on the dance floor all night long. DJ Duke kept the vibes immaculate and helped us throw the dance party of our dreams. We highly recommend!

ting. He did a great job taking our reception music "likes" and creating a fun party where everyone at every age was dancing. Would HIGHLY recommend.

. We also loved Ernie the drummer and String Theory. Would highly recommend Style Matters if you want to have some fun!!

d the room and kept a perfect flow. We had so much fun in large part due to Style Matters!!

ick to respond throughout the whole process. This is a great vendor

ns and styles when choosing a DJ for your big day! My husband and I wanted the dance floor to be packed all night with some great hits, and Max went above and beyond. We have gotten so many compliments from family and friends following our wedding on how there was never a dull moment on the dance floor!! Max read the room while seamlessly including the music that we had requested. 100/10 could not recommend more!

solutely nailed the vibe of our wedding at each stage (ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner and rehearsal) and we got so many compliments on the music. Duke rally understood what we wanted and he did a great job editing the songs to fade together. I would recommend him to anyone.

with DJ Duke, who is so incredible! We completed a questionnaire and had a virtual meet and greet leading up to the big day, and just from that he was able to capture us as a couple and play some amazing music. Our guests could not stop talking about how good the music and how fun Duke was. We cannot thank Duke enough for creating such an awesome night!

matched with Duke about a month before our wedding. We had a call with him to go over what songs we did and didn't want to hear at our wedding and also what we wanted out of our wedding as a whole, which was to have people out on the dance floor all night! He did a great job taking what we said and then running with it. In addition to the music on the dance floor, he made sure to know exactly what music we wanted during the ceremony and during cocktail hour and dinner. Whenever we had places where we didn't know exactly how to phrase what we wanted, he was able to help us flesh out exactly what we meant. He even did a fantastic job of learning the particular style of music we wanted for the dance lesson we had so that it would go smoothly. Overall, we could not have been happier with how the evening turned out and the soundtrack to our wedding!

istened to or honored. it felt like Max had an agenda and that's what he delivered - which was enjoyable - but not custom. Spencer is really great, but the first time we chatted he took the call from his car which I tried to not to read into, but he sold us on the amount of communication and dialogue we would have with our selected DJ and that wasn't delivered on. it sort of felt like he forgot our wedding? Even though we paid the full fee upfront and early. I had to reach out to follow up on some opportunities he had promised to communicate including discussing DJs from the team that would meet our style. When we heard back, he said he was still trying to pick a DJ for us and then a short after told us we could have a chat with Max (no other options were presented). When we met Max I was really hopeful - he seemed super experienced and seemed to pick up on our vibe. He even said "check me off your list," which was encouraging. We sent a spotify playlist his way. We requested more old school classic wedding songs for the majority of the evening and then the last hour more modern pop rock - feeback from our guests was that there wasn't enough old school for the older guests to enjoy. We asked for an anniversary dance which did not happen. Our wedding coordinator needed to ask him to start the couple, and parent dances. We'd requested the final song be Meatloaf's "I Would Do Anything for Love" the musical recording - I had to go an ask him to play this after he'd started a different final song - which was kind of embaressing and not ideal. Max had also offered to trim our first dance. We sent him the time stamps for what we wanted cut about a week before hand. I asked if he could send the edited version for us to practice with and I didn't hear back from him until the night before. When we arrived at the venue I had asked if we could take 5 minutes and practice with the cut - it was disheartening and stressful to find that the cut hadn't been prepared so we had to listen to the entire song in front of early guests as they arrived so we could provide the cut (again). Overall, we felt super overlooked and a low priority. But I will say I think Max is really talented, and I think our experience may have been more a fluke - it felt like there were some bigger issues going on behind the scenes that made this a less than enjoyable experience for us.

cer was always quick to respond and listened closely to our requests and needs. We knew we were in good hands as soon as we booked Style Matters. Everyone is still raving about how much fun it was. 5 stars doesn't even do it justice. Thank you so much for giving us the wedding dance party of our dreams!!!

ed about a week before our wedding, we knew we’d been matched with a thoughtful professional. Marco was incredibly attentive to all of our requests on our wedding day and helped ensure the evening moved as smoothly as we hoped. We and our guests thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere he created on the dance floor—we are still getting compliments on it days later. Would book him all over again!
