Mario and his team were excellent and highly professional. They worked well with us. They have accommodated our last minute changes to the program and music requests. He created a ...
party atmosphere that showcased our culture, our favorite songs while highlighting special memorable details of our wedding. We highly recommend them.
Mario and his team did a fantastic job DJing our wedding. His team was very communicative from start to finish and even made some music recommendations for different parts of the n...
ight. He played all of the songs we requested, including some Irish music, and kept everyone on their feet during the reception. We had a tribute video from some overseas family that couldn't attend due to COVID and he was very helpful in accommodating the video and making the tribute very special. We are very happy that we hired him to DJ our wedding and would recommend him to anyone!
Mario and Mary were a pleasure to work with. I am a nurse and work odd hours/weekends and Mario was great about catering to my schedule for our meetings. Mario and Mary were punctu...
al, professional, and I would work with them again!
Our DJ did a good job at our wedding. The volume was just right - not too loud to converse, not too quiet to dance. Our guests loved the playlist and to be honest, from a guest's p...
erspective it was probably a clear success. The DJ worked with us to craft a very unique song list ranging from Baroque classical to film scores (Pride and Prejudice!) to classic rock and Irish jigs. To our DJ's credit he stuck to that list and did not deviate into the modern genres and cliched wedding songs that I was so anxious to avoid. However, there were a few things that bothered me since I had an insider view as the bride. First of all, there was a bit of a difficulty with our pre-wedding meeting. This was probably a combination of my fault and unreliable technology, and not the DJ's fault at all. However, the result was that we were not able to meet again in person before the wedding. I sent some extremely detailed documents and youtube links and he uploaded everything to a file. He did not, however, send the file the following day as promised and I had to follow up a bit later. Some of the things on the file had to be altered, but he made the adjustments very quickly which I appreciated. However, even after all of this back-and-forth and my highly detailed instructions (down to the minute and second of a version that I personally sent to him of our entrance music) he played the entirely wrong music for BOTH wedding party AND bride and groom entrances. Thankfully it happened to be a song that I also love, but the piece(s) I had initially planned come from my favourite piece of music of all time and I was so disappointed that he did not use it. He never provided an explanation or even mentioned the deviation from our agreed plans. He also announced my name wrong (I am hyphenating) despite the written instructions and ALSO confirming with me verbally before-hand exactly how I wanted us to be announced when we entered the ballroom. He just used my husband's last name instead of acknowledging that I was keeping mine too. He tried to redo, but at that point everyone was already cheering and clapping and noone heard him. On the whole, the wedding was a success, but it really bothered me that a professional DJ would just ignore plans that we had agreed and not even apologize or mention it afterward.
Mario, Mary and their entire team was such a pleasure to work with! They helped us create an amazing slideshow, edited our songs seamlessly, and played a perfect selection of music...
for an amazing wedding night! All of our guests had such a fantastic time dancing and taking pictures in our photobooth. They listened carefully to our requests and were very accommodating. We would highly recommend!
WOW WOW WOW!!!! I cannot say enough good about these guys!!! I was not looking to spend a mint on my DJ, but we also were not willing to skimp out and have our DJ suck either. My...
guests are STILL talking and calling and messaging me about how amazing my DJ was and how much fun they had because he was so good. He truly made our wedding what it was. They are thorough and knowledgable, while still being incredibly accomodating and responsive. They are based a little far from where our wedding was but SOOOOOOO worth it!!! They are everything you could possibly want in a DJ. You will not be disappointed. Def the best decision we made for our wedding!!
Touch of Class was absolutely great! Mario and his wife were very professional, answered all of my questions, were on time and extremely entertaining. Though I was planning my we...
dding for over a year, I was a ball of stress the couple of weeks prior. I even forgot to do the list of songs we wanted played. The night before my wedding (I'm so sorry guys!) I emailed Mario a list of maybe 15-20 songs and also the type of music I like.
He someone turned that small list into a hit playlist for the wedding that all of my guests enjoyed. I have never seen my flower girls dance so much and my guests were sweating because they didn't want to leave the dance floor.
Highly recommend them!
We recently got married on 10/1/16 and used Touch of Class for both their dj services and video. Both Mario and Mary were a pleasure to work with throughout the planning process a...
nd on the wedding day. We loved that they are a family owned business, and they were very accomodating! Mario had everyone rocking on the dance floor and made sure our guests had a great time all night with a great variety of music! We haven't gotten our wedding video yet, but Mary also took candids at our wedding and they came out great! Both of them were great throughout the process offering their expert suggestions to make sure our day was perfect!
TOC DJ was amazing to work with for my wedding! I was planning from out of state and they took the time to have lengthy phone conversations to make sure each detail was perfect. Th...
ey provided uplighting for my winery wedding and it looked amazing, it added so much depth to the room. The DJs Al and Marco were so personable and they read the crowd perfectly. They had people of all ages dancing all night long!! My husband and I are so happy that we used Touch of Class DJ. We had a great and fun wedding and our guests can't stop raving about how much fun they had. I cannot recommend them enough for your wedding!! One phone call with Mary and Mario (the owners) and you will be blown away and impressed with their professionalism and attention to detail. Thank you for making my wedding day absolutely perfect!
Touch of Class was everything my wife and I could have wanted from a DJ. Mario was an excellent MC and was very east to work with. He did not push us to do anything we didn't want ...
to do and as promised wasn't pulling people out of their seats. Instead, his choice of music had out dance floor packed all night. My wife and I had a a general idea of what type of music we wanted played and it was everything we could have hoped for. I would absolutely recommend T.O.C. to anyone who needed a great DJ. My review is a little belated as our wedding was in July of 2015, but I had to make sure I let people know that Mario and company are worth every penny.
Mario was an absolute pleasure to work with. He was professional from our first meeting with him. We proposed a challenge to any DJ as our crowd was a mix of Indians as well as Ame...
ricans. Half the crowd enjoyed bollywood music while the others enjoyed pop music. My bride and I also differed in music tastes. Mario however, explained his approach to please everyone present. He had all the top songs saved and worked with us to pick our favorite songs. On the wedding day he did a brilliant job in gauging the crowd and playing the right type of song according to the crowd participation. He also took to the mic and got on the dance floor to introduce a few dances to get the crowd involved. He seamlessly transitioned to the songs and speeches as necessary.
He had a great photo booth package as well. He also gave us the idea to use Gobo source to create our own logo lens to project the logo on to the dance floor. His lighting system turned our elegant ballroom into a fun dance floor when the music was played. He also offered his sound system for our ceremony as it was performed outdoors. He provided all the connections and mixers and made the whole process easier for us. He also took care of the wedding slideshow my friend made for us and made sure it played correctly on the wedding day. We also worked with him to make a playlist of all the songs that our bridal party danced down to and mixed them remarkably well to ensure smooth transitions. He gave us these CDs in a timely manner so we could also practice our dances to it. Touch of Class was fun to work with and truly professional at all they undertook. They've been in the business long enough to expect what's coming and helped guide us in our decisions. We highly recommend them for all your event needs.
I cannot say enough about how amazing Mario and Mary are! They are honestly the easiest and most reliable vendors-- you can trust them to do their job over and above anything you e...
ver imagined. From the first time we met them, hubby and I knew they were for us. They made working with them seamless. A DJ makes an event and Mario was a great MC and mixed up our must plays like the pro he is. We gave them a long list of must plays and they spruced, spliced and made our guests never stop dancing. Mary took pictures all night that were displayed throughout the night on the two LCD screens by their booth. These pictures were not only priceless and fabulous, rivaling the real photographer, but she made us a CD copy of all of them to take home with us that night. Having images to relive the night was such a treat for us the next day. Our photobooth was the hit of the evening and we have an awesome guest book full of priceless pictures to prove it. Our photobooth attendant even rallied guests to go in and made sure that the book was filled in. We also got a CD copy with everyone's picture on it; we will always have these extra memories because of them. I rented a keyboard from them at the last minute and they delivered and set it up for my musicians earlier than expected. I'm telling you one thing after another they performed with ease and excitement plus they were always responsive and they were very affordable. For our slideshow, we gave them all of our scanned photos and as a surprise to my future husband I had recorded a song for him to be the background track. I was very nervous about him finding out but they made it easy to make it extra special for him and helped me pull off this great surprise. As a musician and a wedding professional, I cannot recommend this vendor enough. They truly made our wedding and if I could give them a rating of 6 I would.
I had contacted Touch of Class DJ's and I was able to book the last opening for my wedding. Super friendly awsome work. Candid Photos came out great.
Mario & Mary are a great team to work with. Super friendly and down to earth. They made the process so easy. The music was great-perfect actually. They had people on the dance floo...
r all night. Just the right mix! The candid shots taken by Mary are gorgeous! It was like having a second photographer catching all of the "non-posed" moments. The lighting was the exact color we were looking for and it made our reception room look even more beautiful.
From the bottom our hearts-we can't thank them enough. They did a WONDERFUL job :)
Great to work with. Mary is so nice and accommodating! Highly recommend.
Touch of Class was classy. Mario did a great job. Instead of going with a DJ that our venue recommended (the venues typically receive ~10% kickback), we searched for vendors recomm...
ended by our favorite vendor, David and Amy Lau Photography. Touch of Class ended up being priced lower than the recommended vendors, and high quality. One caveat though – make sure you deal with Mario directly. Don’t trust anyone else in delivering your detailed written instructions or song selections to Mario, because he will never receive it, and you won’t even receive a response. Also don’t bother handing in your song selections earlier than a week or two before your wedding, because Mario will lack the bandwidth to deal with you. But once you have his attention (1-2 wks before your wedding), he’ll be detail-oriented and responsible, and do a great job for you! We highly recommend him!
Both myself and my now husband have nothing but great things to say about this company!! They are extremely flexible with everything from picking the best package for your needs a...
nd some song choice (not to mention, best prices around)!! We went for their package that included a photographer at our ceremony and reception that took candid pictures and they were on display through out our whole reception. Everyone LOVED the pictures and on top of that they were ready for us to take home that night! Mario and Mary are simply amazing and we recommend them to everyone!!!

play at our wedding, creating a beautiful video montage, and suggested options that we never thought about such as uplighting to create ambiance. They are genuinely caring and willing to help you make your wedding dreams become a reality. I highly recommend Touch of Class DJ's because they excelled in every aspect of their work.
We loved this vendor!!!! They came highly recommended from a friend of mine who's entire family has used them and then when we met with them we realized they would do a great job!...
We got tons of compliments after our wedding about them and people continue to ask us about them to pass on the word to people they know that are getting married! They provide such exceptional service and they made sure that everyone was having a good time and that the party never stopped!!! Also, they package we picked provided slideshows during our dances with our parents as well as a slideshow of us growing as a couple which everyone loved and they even took candid shots all day and played those on the screens all night which was a great touch! On top of that they give you all the candid shots they take after the wedding without watermarks or anything which was so great! WE LOVED THEM!!!

Mario got the party started after dinner orders were taken & kept it going all night. We had a great time. I wish the night didn't end.
Mary took a few family portraits for us since we didn't have an actual formal photographer. She takes great candid pics!!
Get the photobooth. You WILL NOT be sorry! Everyone (even the older folks) had a great time with it. Makes for some funny pics.
