Stephen at Music Caterer was absolutely AMAZING! He kept every single person on the dance floor the entire night. We received SO many compliments on how much fun our DJ was and truly was the highlight of our wedding day. On top of Stephen being so great to work with, Meggin also was incredible to communicate with throughout the entirety of wedding planning. She was so responsive, willing to answer questions, and always kept us in the loop. I could NEVER recommend Music Caterer enough. Thank you for making our wedding perfect!

We had the best DJ imaginable! During the reception and every day after people continuously raved about Steve and his team. Steve was on top of everything. He was flexible about song changes, and the timeline of everything, and he also helped keep things moving and on time. Having the photo booth and uplighting was a great addition to the party as well. Thank you, Steve and The Music Caterer for everything! You made our night unforgettable.

The music caterer and DJ Steve were amazing! I have never been to a wedding where so many people dancing literally all night! Steve consistently checked with us to make sure we didn’t need anything and was totally flexible with any changes we made to the timeline of our day. We could not have asked for a more fun night of dancing and music! Highly recommend to anyone!

We had the Adam from the Music Caterer for our wedding and all of our guests had a blast! They were also incredibly easy to communicate and work with when we had to move our wedding due to COVID.

TERRIBLE. Total amateurs from start to finish
Do yourself a HUGE favor and hire someone else!! When we booked Music Caterer at the Wedding show we were promised professional DJs.. at our wedding we had two total amateurs. A preloaded playlist would have been better
The guys were rookies from the very start of the day. At the ceremony, the bridal party processional song was started before we were even in the ballroom and lined up, the song ended as I was half way down the aisle(this song was definitely long enough for the girls to get down the short aisle).
For dinner, we compiled a long list of songs and only heard 3 from the list...the rest of the songs were not guest requests as all the guests were seated and not anywhere near the DJ.
As far as the dance goes, I have no idea what they were doing. To kick off the dance portion of the night, they called us by the WRONG NAME when introducing us during our first dance...our last name is 5 letters long and extremely easy to pronounce.
We were about 8 songs into the night and I had only heard 2 of the songs from our list. I approached them and asked if they indeed had the request list, they said "yes," I then asked why the majority of the songs played were not from the list and they said "well, we have to play songs that the older people will dance to." I asked them to get back to the list, which they did for about 45 minutes. I re-approached them and told them thank you and that they were doing a good job. This was apparently a mistake because then they went completely rogue again. My husband then approached them and asked them to get back to the list and to also turn the lights down because they had the lighting turned way up like it was a church dance or something. They turned the lights down and played a few of our songs before going back to doing their own thing again. That's when I just gave up on having good music for the night and turned my focus back to guests. My husband approached them again later in the night requesting that they turn the volume down because the long string of obnoxious 90's club music was just way too loud to tolerate and had driven many of our guests into Thornberry's separated bar area.
The whole music aspect of the day was very disappointing. We were so excited to have Music Caterer providing our music because we had a great experience when meeting with the rep at the GB wedding show. When talking with the rep at the show, my first question was "are you one of those DJs that insists on choosing all the music or can we give you a list of the songs that we would like played?" The response was "yes, you can definitely give us a list and choose all the music, lots of couples do that." That was my deal breaker question, so we booked with confidence that those words would be honored. During our wedding planning months, we I spent an extensive amount of time collecting requests from guests and selecting our personal favorites. I had 3 complete lists, one for the ceremony, dinner, and reception....and they were completely ignored. I just do not understand how this could happen....we kindly asked several times for our wishes to be honored and they just continued doing their own thing. The whole experience was very disappointing and felt super rude.
I wrote several emails to the manager and called him several times but he was "too busy coaching sports" to ever contact me back to address the situation. He already had our money, so what would he care, right??

We had Chris and Kevin as DJs for our wedding this last weekend. They were excellent! Very professional and friendly! We allowed them to choose the music for the dance, and their choices were awesome! They played to our theme and venue (a rustic barn wedding) very well but didn't just stick to country either. They kept people dancing! They also played for the ceremony and had all the songs we requested. They did a great job. Treena was excellent to work with as well. The planning worksheets were extremely helpful and made the night flow smoothly. Thanks for helping make our night unforgettable!

Great Job!
We used Music Caterer for our Photo Booth and they were wonderful. Our attendant was great! Very affordable and punctual. Very responsive to emails. Sent us a link with all of the pictures and provided us a book at the end of the night! The only reason they didn't get a 5 star was because some of the pictures were discolored/pixelated so I'm not sure if colors clashed or if there was a technical issue. Either way I'd use them again!

PROFESSIONAL, PATIENT, FUN & ENERGETIC!!! This place has got it going on :-) We had so much fun with our DJ's and Photobooth operator! (I forget all their names, but I remember Kenny as he was the one I was in contact with for the evening). Even though we didn't run on time with things, they made us feel like there was no pressure at all. They just kept telling us that it's our day and they are ready to roll with whatever our plans were. All music requests were played and our group was having such a great time that Kenny and staff agreed to play for additional time! The photo booth was a huge hit and everyone loved having that option to make our wedding more memorable. I highly recommend The Music Caterer!!

Kept people on the dance floor all night! My mom wanted to do an "I want candy" dance where they would throw candy (we provided) on the dance floor for the kids and the dj was definitely willing to do so!

We could not have been more happy with The Music Caterer! They were extremely professional and easy to work with! They played awesome music and all our guests loved them. They were extremely flexible to the point where right before the grand march we had forgotten to pick a song for our ushers to walk in to and told them while everyone was lining up and we told them what song they wanted for them and within 2 minutes everything was set to go. We could not be more happy with everything they did at our wedding!!

We keep hearing from all of our guests that they had a blast dancing the night away. The DJs kept checking in with my husband and me to make sure the "flow" of music was okay and we kept telling them it was perfect. There were 200+ people on the dance floor at all times and the Music Caterer kept playing one great song after another. They sure helped to make our wedding memorable!

Shawn and Jacob did phenomenal. We are still hearing compliments from guests that said the music was excellent and they played a great variety. They listened to what we wanted and made sure to stay away from music that we didn't want to hear. We've heard from so many guests who said they haven't seen so many people stay so late into the evening. I am glad we chose you as our music entertainment!

They listened to us and played the music we wanted to hear. The dj got our guests dancing and having a great time! I'd go back to them and would recommend them to my friends and family.

We debated whether or not to get a photo booth and deciding to get one was one of the best decisions we made! The guests had so much fun with it and my husband and I really enjoyed looking through the photo book with copies for us. The Music Caterer had a great quality photo booth for a reasonable price. There was an attendant with the photo booth the entire time (my nephew even convinced him to take a picture with him haha.)

We were very satisfied with our photobooth! They were great in making our guests feel welcome and having a lot of fun! They even went above and beyond to get great props to fit our theme! We were very excited about the DJ but it switched DJ's twice between the time of booking and the night of. We came there the night of after talking about our very detailed grand march and entrance the DAY before to find that something happened (which I'm assuming was not expected but still) and we have ANOTHER person. That person was just okay and did not interact with the crowd like the other two would have (after talking with them a ton). Overall they were still good and we are happy but very disappointed that we got switched the night of to us not even knowing until we walked into the reception.

Good DJ service overall. They were friendly and returned calls quickly. Their music selection was vast and they kept people dancing with all sorts of music. DJ lacked personality I've seen at other weddings though. The photobooth was an amazing addition that I recommend and they ran it very professionally!

The whole process of working with them was amazing. We had 2 djs, one of which we met in person to discuss details prior to the wedding. He was easy to get along with and took everything we said into consideration. He even MADE a compilation song for us for our grand march, which we LOVED.
The photobooth attendant was also respectful and fun. Things got crazy,but he was patient with the older people showing them how to work the machine and laughed when people got crazy. It was perfect.

The Music Caterer was probably our best decision in all of our wedding planning. The DJ's were excellent and very professional, they kept the party going and had plenty of activities planned to keep people out on the dance floor at all times. We also used their photo booth and we ended up with some great memories of our wedding. I would definitely use them again if I ever needed a DJ!!

I was very impressed with the Music Caterer. We had purchased the DJ/Photobooth package and had both at our reception. I was nervous that some of my older family members may not enjoy the Photobooth, but nearly everyone jumped in! The Music Caterer puts all these pictures into a "Guest Book" that your guests can sign - it is so much more fun than a traditional guest book and my husband and I love it! (They also provide you with a CD with all the images at the end of the evening). Our DJs kept the music upbeat and were able to keep a very diverse crowd on the dance floor throughout the night - we were quite impressed! They were flexible and catered to our event - they even happily accommodated a surprise request to have my groom rap Ice Ice Baby!
The only minor hiccup - my husband and I sat down with one of the DJs prior to the event to go over our song choices and plans for the evening. The DJ we had met with was not the DJ who was there on our wedding night, though. As there were a couple miscommunications that we felt could have been avoided, I would recommend meeting with the DJ who will be there for your wedding event.
All in all, our DJs were very professional and so much fun to work with! We got a great deal of compliments and I would happily recommend them to anyone.

I was very excited about the photo booth. (We did not get the DJ.) I was emailing with Tricia and it was very hard to get answers from her; I felt like they were very rude if I did not purchase the most expensive package.
The photo booth in general was a HUGE it! The two gentlemen working the booth were not happy to be there. I didn't see them smile once and my guests even commented on them. They also forgot the props. (Thank goodness I had backups just in case.)
At the end of the night there were about 5 minutes before they were to leave and they refused to let in the last two guests. The one guy even said something rude to me...THE BRIDE who paid for them!
There are many photo booths out there. FIND SOMEONE ELSE!

We loved them because they offered two dj's. That way one was talking with guest and the other was prepare wedding party for grand march, garter toss and other things.
