The Best DJs

le and easy to contact through text or email. He uses a straightforward portal tool to get all of the details and song choices for the big day. He has a great taste in music and a true sense of what it takes to put on a great party. He also did a great job MCing the event and kept us on task and on schedule. Finally, he was gracious enough to cut our first dance song to make it flow and sound like nothing had been cut at all. I got so many compliments on the DJ and his song selection. The dance floor was popping from start to finish and there wasn’t one single moment where I didn’t like a song that was playing. Working with Mike and Modern Era made our wedding perfect!

rom out of state. Our dance floor was packed all night, and our guests really enjoyed themselves! I highly recommend DJ Chris if you are in need of a DJ for your next event!

exceeded our expectations! He worked closely with us leading up to the wedding and knew exactly what we wanted. The dance floor was packed the entire night! Our guests cannot stop talking about the music and what an amazing job he did! I would highly recommended Modern Era Weddings if you’re looking to have an unforgettable, memorable wedding night. Mike took the time to meet us at our venue almost a year before our wedding to get a feel for the event space. He also did all of our up lighting for our reception space and it was exactly what I envisioned. Thank you, Modern Era and Mike!

I would hire him again and again

ent, his professionalism and his ability to throw a kick ass party. The two things I wanted for my wedding was a great dinner and a fun dance party. I had a smaller wedding and my absolute biggest fear was that people wouldn't dance and there would be an empty dance floor. I should have know that with Mike at the helm, that would never happen. Literally NO one left the dance floor that night. I barely made it to the bar because as soon as I would think about leaving, another incredible song would come on. People that I have never seen dance in my life were breaking it down on the dance floor. The next day, almost every guest I spoke with commented on how incredible the dj was and how it was one of the most fun weddings they'd ever been to. There is a HUGE difference between hiring a professional dj and an amateur with a laptop. Mike has an insane ability to read the crowd and immediately switch up the songs. There's no cheesiness, no annoying dj interrupting on the mic. Just amazing non-stop music. Do yourself a favor and hire the best in Pittsburgh.

tic it was my wedding! Hands down worth every penny!

hoto album at the end of the night with a disk of every picture =) I also went away after and emailed Kelly because I wanted the photos of my husband and I from the booth but left the disk at home and she emailed me the photos right away!!!! Jenni - our photographer and her husband captured every moment of LOVE throughout our day!!!!! Photos were very important to me, Jenni and I spoke a couple times on the phone - we got an idea of the locations we wanted and everything went smooth - I couldn't believe we had over 1200 amazing photos!!!!! We also got our pictures back so quickly I was the happiest person ever! DJ Mike was so incredibly professional with everything! I made a couple changes or wanted to double check our entrance songs the day before and even made a last minute switch right before the reception and he made it happen. He listened to EVERYTHING we wanted. The final week or so we texts back and forth! He responded immediately to every question! My husband and I had one request and that was to keep everyone on the dance floor and he did just that! The uplighting was so beautiful -- it added to the room perfectly!!!!! We were sooooo happy Modern Era did our Wedding Reception - we definitely wouldn't have found anyone better for our day!!!!!!

events, the timeline, and all details of the big day. We even were able to choose a playlist, a maybe playlist, and a do not playlist. My husband and I were very specific with our requests for the introduction songs and the special dances songs and Mike followed through with all of our wishes! He even listened to us and to our family and friends as we made new song requests as the night went on! Mike has such a great attitude and his only focus was making our wedding day music dreams come true! We were so happy with our choice!

op. Mike provided that in spades. Our wedding was in May 2018, and our guests still talk about how amazing the music was. Mike is a professional DJ - he doesn't just have a playlist or autoplay songs on an iPhone. He will play remixes, read the crowd to switch out a song if it's not working, and provides a high energy as a wedding MC. We met with Mike before the wedding to go over what we were looking for, both in terms of dance music and ceremony/cocktail hour. Mike was with us every step of the way. He even recommended glow sticks for our dancing - and he was right, they were a total hit! I wish every wedding I attended would have Mike spinning the music. He certainly will give you an awesome night that you'll never, ever forget.

ty and was more than accommodating to our specific needs. He was professional, friendly and highly skilled. He made sure all of our guests had fun and was a highlight of the night. 10/10 would absolutely recommend to a friend. Thanks again, Dave The Ciccone’s

with the schedule. He oversaw the ceremony, and music for cocktail, dinner and dancing hours, and was so versatile and spot on with the song choices & transitions. Highly highly highly recommend!

n excellent job keeping the wedding on track and making sure the night flowed flawlessly. The talent and professionalism of both himself and his crew were top notch. When we originally booked our DJ through Modern Era, we were supposed to have a different DJ. However, due to a scheduling error, our DJ was accidentally double booked. To remedy this mistake, Mike Willis jumped right in and told my wife and I that he would DJ our wedding instead. He was a lifesaver and a true professional. Thank you Mike and everyone at Modern Era!

ut some awesome EDM and actual House music and we loved it. The lighting was awesome, mixing was top notch, and we have been told by many of our attendees that they had never seen a wedding where the dance floor was bumpin so much with EVERYONE there. Cannot recommend him highly enough, it was so refreshing and different than typical wedding music which was exactly what we wanted. Even pulled out a few emo songs from our high school days! It's like he read our minds! Seriously awesome. If you're looking for electronic music with a lot of pop remixes, and if you're looking for actual DANCE music, Kevin delivers and then some.

ris mixed a fun mash-up of them. It was such a fun experience and were so happy we were able to secure Chris for our wedding!

and could do all of the introductions, first dance, etc., well, but also could create a young, party-like atmosphere after the formalities were completed. The company uses a great online planning tool where you can pick all of the songs you want for specific events during your wedding and add songs to must play or do not play lists. It was great to be able to do that over time and make sure everything was just right for our big day. At our wedding, Kevin did a great job of keeping people on the dance floor without any gimmicky line dance songs, and he made sure my husband and I had a great time. We already had friends who attended book him for their own wedding!

ns as we were planning! He kept the entire night running smooth and on time and kept our guests on the dance floor. Could not have been more impressed with DJ Chris!

ant part of the day!

e most awesome songs for the bridal party to come into. I definitely recommend him to everyone and let him help in the decision process. His artistic style brings a fun upbeat atmosphere and he leaves you with memories to last a lifetime!!

mixing our choices throughout the night. He engaged our guests just enough while still keeping us on schedule.

ed family was out dancing and having the wedding of their lives. We also used the photo booth through modern era. I didn't hear from the people doing our photo booth until shortly before our wedding, so I had bought markers and such I didn't need, and I was a tad nervous. BUT they were able to set everything up during our ceremony, and the guests loved it! They were friendly and ran it smoothly. The photo book was a great twist on a guest book. The flash drive has the photo strips and full-size photos, so we're going to use the pictures for Christmas gifts! Overall, great experience!

tact if needed.

dinator could not be located. He found and lined up the entire bridal party and parents so we could get back on schedule with the reception and introductions. We really appreciated that and are super grateful! We highly recommend DJ Chris!!!!!

from all of their experiences. Adam was so happy with TJ and Tom...their music choices, the games they put together, the flow of the entire evening and so much more. Even the adults loved them. It was not loud blaring noise. Instead, they engaged everyone doing all of the Jewish rituals and keeping up with the baseball theme. Amazing people and fabulous DJ and MC. Would not hesitate to use them...in fact we are booking them again in three years for our younger son's Bar Mitzvah!! Thank you so much!

to the wedding so as to make sure that everything went smoothly. Also, he has a smooth voice and doesn't try to force anyone to dance like I have seen some DJ's do. He'll do exactly what you want and makes sure to set up very early beforehand. Highly recommended. Note: This is for Modern Era Weddings in Pittsburgh, PA

met with us at my husband's office to explain the available services and he painted a picture of the MEW experience. We ended up using Kristen Vota for photography, Dan Fried for videography, DJ Scottro for our DJ, and Sarah Campbell for our day-of coordinator. THEY ALL WERE AMAZING! Kristen was so wonderful - she is truly a talented photographer. She did our engagement pictured and wedding pictures. All are amazing. Dan was awesome – we are SO excited to see the video! DJ Scottro was of course, AMAZING! He met with us before the wedding to get to know us better which made the experience all the more special. Lastly, Sarah Campbell was absolutely incredible as our day-of coordinator. I have no idea how the day would have went without her! She met with us several times before the wedding, helped us plan the day, worked with all of our vendors, managed every aspect of the day from sun up to sun down, and she did everything with a smile on her face. She also helped my mom assemble the cookie table since the Sheraton refused to do this. My mom still talks about how she truly was a life saver. Our cookie table was one of the biggest and best the Sheraton has ever seen and I owe that ALL to my mom and Sarah! SARAH AND HER MOM EVEN BAKED US GOODIES FOR THE TABLE! She even got us a wedding gift! I truly could go on and on about how wonderful she made the experience. Without a doubt, if you want vendors who are passionate about making Weddings special, the obvious choice is Modern Era Weddings!

a lot of money on most wedding vendors and choose Modern Era Weddings because it was $1500.00 for unlimited hours, great right? Not so great for us. When I think back on my wedding at the reception, I will always remember feeling rushed. From our first dance timing being cut in half, to the worst Polish Wedding dance ever, to my grandparents being cut off when trying to give my husband and I advise. I sincerely believe DJ David Noel was trying to get this reception over as quickly as possible, forgetting all established timelines and verbiage. We had a singer come in to do a memorial song for my late grandmother and DJ David Noel, handed her the mic and didn't announce anything. Meanwhile he helped me develop a message in person just a week before, it was so awkward. The only consoling we received from his manager was the message below, no refunds for us because he didn’t want to “take money away from Dave’s family.” See his response below: Kayla, There are three sides to every story, and obviously various things happened here that upset you on your wedding day. My DJ believes that he played a majority of the song, and you state that he “cut it off before the first chorus”, so I am hearing two widely varying stories. There is one source of absolute truth in this case and that is the fact that the entire evening was recorded on video. The video will show us exactly how long the first dance was, and if he cut it off negligently. I could not determine this through my investigation because he played the first dance from an outside source and not through the normal DJ software that we use. I hope you understand, I am obviously sympathetic to your needs in this situation, and want to remedy it the best way possible. Before I take money away from Dave’s family to refund a portion of your cost, I need to truly make sure that I have the whole story. -Cheers Michael Willis 410.474.0968 2402 Sidney St Pittsburgh, Pa 15203 Modern Era Weddings contact@moderneraweddings.com

s the perfect MC and kept the wedding moving with the perfect enthusiasm. He also kept checking on us to see if we needed anything and truly worked hard to make our night perfect. Don’t think twice, hire now!

vent. It was definitely the highlight of the night. Til today we get phone calls from family members and friends talking about what a wonderful, fun, unique wedding experience they had. I highly recommend Modern Era for any type of event.

nd when he ran out of our selected songs, he played songs that perfectly matched the vibe of the dance floor. All of our guests told us how much fun they had at our wedding specifically because of the DJ. Simply put, John is the best.

en executed it flawlessly! We also had DJ Selecta handle the music, and really the only way to put it is that he KILLED IT! Rare is the DJ who can transition seamlessly from cocktail hour to dinner to dance music. Selecta is a master of all 3. Our dance floor was packed from beginning to end, and our guests weren't exactly dancing people. Selecta read the crowd perfectly like the true professional that he is. 5/5 stars for Mike, DJ Selecta, and the entire Modern Era crew. Thanks for making our wedding amazing!

n smoothly. Not only that, but our dance floor was packed the entire time. We also had several compliments from our guests when it came to the music at our reception. I cannot say enough wonderful things about him. I would recommend him to other couples looking for a wedding DJ.

most likely the greatest decision surrounding our wedding that we could have made. Tom was FANTASTIC - he kept the crowd alive for so many hours, kept everything moving very smoothly, and played amazing music the entire night...I'm talking from the moment our cocktail hour started at 5:00pm until after midnight when the reception ended. I honestly can't tell you how many people told my husband and me that they hadn't had so much fun in their entire lives! We met with Tom multiple times before the wedding, which was great! It was really nice getting to know him before the big day and he was super accommodating with meeting times and locations. My husband and I have been at too many weddings where the reception falls flat because the DJ isn't reading the crowd and playing the right music...you will NOT have this problem with Tom. Seriously, if Tom at Modern Era isn't your first choice for the DJ at your wedding/event, think again!

to meet with us in advance to go over all the details and ensure everything would go smoothly on the big day. He was easy to reach and answered any questions we had throughout the wedding planning process. We still have wedding guests saying how awesome he was and how much fun they had on the dance floor at our wedding. He also frequently checked in with my husband and I during our reception, asking if we needed drinks and kept us on schedule with our reception timeline. Would hire Mike again in a heartbeat. Thanks again for everything!

ductions to last dance), but I had so many guests tell me that it was the best reception they'd ever attended. Our party went non-stop from 5-11, and Mike, our DJ, never missed a beat. He made sure that everything went smoothly, and he had our guests on the dance floor the entire night! All of the details of the day are important, but it's the DJ who makes or breaks the party, and ours was the best party EVER!!! Mike is an absolute professional. I am so thrilled that he was there to make our day so spectacular.

utifully. Our wedding was the best day of my life and John was a big part of making it that way! I would recommend him to anyone!

hecked in with me to make sure I knew what was happening and what I should be doing. Mike is a busy guy, so I didn't always hear back from him quickly, BUT I filled out the planning forms and left things up to him (e.g., ceremony music) and he nailed it. It was nice to have someone who knew exactly what was up because the last thing you need on your wedding day is one more thing to think about. I could not be happier with Modern Era or Mike. Book him!

sold! Mike was amazing! We got a ton of compliments on him afterwards. He kept the entire night flowing and people on the floor from the moment it opened up. Their online portal was so easy to use and allowed us to make a play and do-not play list for the night. A DJ is so important to the night and this was such a great decision! I would highly recommend!!

I recommend him to anyone having a wedding you will not regret it .i would never have anyone else

ompt, and helpful before the wedding regarding all of our questions and concerns. He was with us all day for our wedding. He did the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. He kept everyone on the dance floor all night. The dance floor was always packed. Anytime we had a request, he took care of it immediately. That includes announcements and song requests. He even helped get the crowd started in singing happy birthday to the groom's grandfather. He did an incredible job and we couldn't have asked for a better DJ. He was more than easy to work with which is great considering all the stress of planning a wedding. We still get compliments to this day in regards to DJ Chris. Chris made our day extremely fun, but also made it very easy and personable. I would recommend Chris to anyone. I know if I need a DJ anytime in the future, I will be using Chris. You definitely won't be disappointed!!

r our schedule given that we live out of town. When our wedding day came, he was prepared and greeted us with open arms. He had the music we requested and then some! He was playing hits all night, and the dance floor stayed packed from beginning to end. Modern Era is definitely on the pricier side when it comes to DJ's in the Pittsburgh area, however, their all-inclusive, unlimited hours makes it worth it when compared to other companies. Also, the expense is worth it when you have guests on the dance floor having the time of their lives. Thanks for making our wedding day a success Modern Era!

diverse as our guests! I would highly recommend giving him a call for any of your events!

hly recommend him for your wedding!

little notice to meet with our wedding coordinator. What stands out for me is DJ Chris's passion. He is all about the music and you can tell that when you watch him do his thing!He is awesome at this job. He knew what songs to play and when to play them. He had both of our families up and dancing the entire, which is something I was worried would be a difficult task. I highly recommend DJ Chris. He will make any event awesome!

sic, continuing to accommodate the crowd, and we had so many compliments on how much fun people were having. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone - he was the absolute best!!! Thanks so much Mike!!

the music. He was so nice and super fun. He really worked with us and helped keep the reception moving but was not pushy. Great music mixes and so professional. Definitely use Modern Era, it's worth the money and requst DJ Tim (TJ) Harris!!

ed the music. I would definitely recommend him to anyone!

pt people on the floor, and somehow was simultaneously checking up on me and my groom!! He was an absolute gem!!!!!!

work with. I have had multiple comments when talking to people about my wedding about how much fun they had and what a great DJ we had! I think I danced the whole night!!

was extremely professional and accommodating to our needs. He truly gave us the sense that he wanted to make our special day the best it could be. Thank you for everything Scott & Modern Era!

es not dance but that night he never left the dance floor. I knew immediately when we got engaged that I needed to find this DJ!! First I booked Mike, then uplighting, then the photobooth, and finally videography with another Mike all through Modern Era. It was amazing to be able to book all these services with one vendor and helped diffuse a lot of stress. The day of, everyone was on time, the uplighting looked spectacular, and DJ Mike and his assistant Nate were on point. I felt like I could really enjoy my evening with my husband and the people we love without worrying about what song was coming next or what event was next. Mike kept things moving and always gave me updates throughout the evening so I knew what to expect and where to be. His song selection was on point and not only got people out on the dance floor but kept them out! Guests are still writing us to say it was the best wedding they have ever been to. We truly had the best day of our lives and cannot thank Modern Era enough for making the day beyond what we could have ever imagined!!

ving. We had our reception at the Carnegie Music Hall, and his speaker system sounded amazing. The photobooth provided unlimited prints, a TON of props and a book/USB for us to keep. They play regularly in Pittsburgh and have great relationships with other vendors we worked with. Highly recommend using this company!

tly answered questions, clearly communicated what he needed from us, and was simply a really nice guy. On our wedding day, he was prepared, organized, accommodating, and everything (from our ceremony and cocktail hour, to dinner and dancing) went perfectly. We also elected to add their uplighting services which turned out exactly as we wanted, and at a reasonable rate.

ot of people dancing all night!

ng was met. DJ Tim also stayed an extra hour because the weather ruined our outdoor ceremony and reception!! My wife and I will definitely be using DJ Tim and Modern Era Weddings whenever we have an event, as well as recommending him for our friends Weddings!

in the mix, but he must have been Egyptian in another life. The dancing was nonstop and everyone could not stop telling us what an amazing time they had. From the get go- DJ Mike was our most communicative vendor, who was the one reaching out to us to make sure we had everything we needed, etc. He has the most amazing website portal which you can make as detailed to your heart’s desire (includes timeline song choices, a must play/if time allows/and do not play lists) and online payment system. ModernEra weddings also offers a photobooth with amazing props and plans. Ok back to the wedding day, DJ Mike coordinated with all of the venue folks, and brought his game day gear for the wedding. The speaker system was beyond amazing; again we were a little anxious with the acoustics in the Carnegie Music Hall, but DJ Mike’s speakers raised the roof and had the entire wedding reception on their feet. Literally I have pictures with no one sitting at the tables, because everyone was dancing the entire night. He was so flexible with the song choices/genre of music we wanted for background music, cocktail hour, bridal party entrances, and every song choice that was made throughout the night. He played all of our favorites and some that we forgot. ALSO, before I forget, what a star DJ Mike was when the bridal party got there (before the entrances). He whipped them all into shape and got them ready for the entrances of their lives. AND ALSO, when the AV vendor had a glitch playing our wedding trailer, DJ Mike swooped in again to coordinate with the venue to save the day. I could keep writing this forever, but the bottom line is stop reading this and book DJ Mike for your wedding/event/MC needs, because A) he is awesome, B) communicative, responsible, fun, C) worth every penny and so much more, and D) should win awards for what he does (Oh wait, he actually has, and lots of them). Honestly, there is a reason he has a 5-star rating, and it’s real. So go ahead and contact him now and book DJ Mike. Thanks Mike for making our special day even more special.

he ceremony and reception when I wasn’t sure what to do. He kept me level-headed, stress free and organized through the entire process. I told him what songs I wanted and left the rest up to him for the ceremony, absolutely best thing I did, I was not disappointed! Mike kept everything organized and on time the entire day, making it so much less stressful for me. Mike and Dave Noel absolutely made the night! I have had so many compliments on how fun and elegant my wedding was and how amazing the DJ’s were. I would absolutely recommend Modern Era!! Thank you Mike and Dave for giving us an amazing night and memories to cherish forever!!

ly! We loved having them throughout the entire process--engagement to wedding. Bonus: they are LGBT-friendly!

well into the night. I would recommend his services to any of our friends.

g. I was not sure exactly what timeline to use and he was very helpful to my husband and I when deciding when to do certain events. I also opted for up lighting and he did a great job making the room have a wintery feel to match my winter theme. I had music for the entire day- ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner and reception. He did a great job! I would recommend this company and DJ to anyone looking to get married!

rom our guests on how wonderful the DJ was and that the dance floor was never empty. Great job Tyler, Brendan and I couldn't have asked for more!

s managed to mix in a variety of crowd requests without any jolting discord going from genre to genre. Both men had nice voices and didn't feel the need to scream through their microphone the way some other DJs I've heard do. They had the wedding guests dancing and laughing the duration of the reception. During clean up, I thought I'd take a moment to tell the young men how much my husband and I enjoyed their music and walked away pleasantly surprised at their knowledge and appreciation of all types of music. When the time comes to hire the DJ for either of my kids' weddings, they will be my choice.
