Variety was awesome to have as part of our wedding day! They came recommended from our venue so it was a no-brainer to go with them as we felt they would be most familiar with the ...
flow of the day - which was 100% the case. Variety had a beautiful all-white DJ set up and we were also able to hired our live musicians through them, which was so helpful. (Saxophone during cocktail hour was PERFECTION). MC Ray and DJ Tom made the day completely effortless for myself and my husband.
They played everything we wanted (BIG SHOUTOUT to playing Italian music throughout our Italian dinner - our favorite part of the night), seamlessly blended genres, and had people of all ages on the dance floor all night. Guests texted us the next day saying how they “haven’t danced that much in years”, “every song was a banger”, and “the music was SO good”.
Thank you, Variety for an unforgettable night!!
Our wedding wouldn’t be complete without the sounds provided by Tom, Ray and the Variety music staff. We had such an amazing time dancing through the night. Our guests have had suc...
h raving reviews about the music that align exactly with our thoughts as well. We chose to have Tom dj the ceremony and it added such an amazing atmosphere to our entrances and conclusion. We had the piano player with vocals set the scene for cocktail hour, and added a saxophone player to perform on the dance floor with the dj playing during the reception. Absolutely exceptional performances! Tom incorporated our music requests flawlessly into his sets. Besides the amazing time we had that night, going back to our video and seeing all our family and friends have a blast brings us such joy. Thank you Tom, Ray, and the entire Variety Music staff for their outstanding work and helping to bring our wedding day vision to life.
Variety Music was absolutely amazing! We are so glad we used them for our wedding. They did an excellent job communicating with us and getting to know us and exactly what we were l...
ooking for on our wedding day. We worked with Tom and Ray and they were fantastic and an awesome DJ/MC Team! We got so many compliments from our guests about the music and how it was such a great mix of current and past music and truly everyone had something they could enjoy. Tom and Ray kept everyone up and dancing the whole night and they kept the energy high! It was such an amazing party and we had an absolute blast and so did our guests! Not to be forgotten, we had an excellent solo violinist for our ceremony who played beautifully!! We are so glad we added that touch! We could not be happier with Variety Music and our entire experience and wedding day! We will be recommending them to any and everyone!
Ray was extremely professional & organized throughout the entire process. The day went seamlessly and everyone had a great time at the reception - most guests stated it was the mos...
t fun wedding they have been to. I'm still getting compliments on the percussionist & sax player!!
We used Variety for our wedding with a DJ, MC and photobooth. Our DJ Serge and MC Sal were unbelievable. The music they played was fantastic and exactly the type of music that we d...
iscussed in our meetings. We had a day time wedding and were a little worried about people not being in the party mood, but the guys at Variety shut those worries down immediately. The MC Sal had everyone dancing the entire time and was on the dancefloor himself all night! We got so many compliments on the wedding night and the following days about Sal, he was an absolutely joy to have at the party.
We had Variety Music as our entertainment for our wedding on 8/24/23 at Sea Cliff Manor. They were so chill and awesome from the start. We had an amazing steel drum player for cock...
tail hour which set a really cool vibe. Definitely calmed my anxiety! We had Ray and Tom as our MC and DJ. They were an incredible team. I gave them a list of songs to play which they did and then played all these other songs I didn’t even think of that were a huge hit! Watching some videos back from the wedding, I didn’t realize how many guests were singing along to all the songs. So many friends and family were on the dance floor all night. All our friends were raving about how good our entertainment was. Everyone had such a fun time I will always have these amazing memories! I highly recommend Variety Music you will not regret it and you will have a blast!!
Variety Music was truly amazing!! They were really responsive and communicative throughout our entire wedding planning process. Everything ran so smoothly and they executed things ...
exactly as we wanted. Variety Music was open to and really helpful in making our vision come true with specific requests (ex: having an outside wedding singer for dinner, playing a cultural dance song). They played really good music that truly had everyone dancing all night! We would recommend requesting to work with Ray and Tom - they were an awesome team. We also hired a violinist for the ceremony, saxophonist for the cocktail hour, and had a photobooth during the reception all from Variety Music, which were well received by our guests. Would highly recommend Variety Music for your next event!!
We had a blast with variety DJ!! They listened to and executed all of our requests without flaw, and gave us the playlist of our dreams! My friends raved about them and kept asking...
how I found them. We also did a photobooth through them which guests absolutely loved, and looking at all the files helped us relive the night. Thank you, Variety, for giving us a great party!
We saw Variety Music at a friends wedding in 2021 and instantly knew we wanted to use them for our own wedding. We had Ray as our MC and Tom as our DJ and they more then lived up t...
o their first impression during our own wedding. Ray keeps everything under control as an MC and his centerpiece giveaway games are always enjoyable. Tom made a playlist with a perfect blend of songs to match mine and my husbands different musical styles. Even the songs that were played that were not on our request list were hits with our guests. Ray/Tom were very easy to work with and easily accommodated the unique requests that my husband and I had for our wedding. I would highly recommend them for a wedding and hope that one of our friends follows what we did so we can attend another wedding with them as DJ/MC!
Variety was amazing for my wedding in July! Great communication and they were very organized and on top of things. We had Sal as our MC and our dance floor was packed the whole nig...

Variety Music did an excellent job at our wedding on 11.5.22! We had an absolute blast with our friends and family hanging out, singing, and dancing. The DJ and crew made the night...
flow well, helped make speeches and ceremonial moments easy, created a chill dinner vibe, and then switched to an excellent dance party vibe. We got a good mix of what we wanted music wise and some smart additions. We were very concerned about having an overwhelming crew who wanted the spotlight, but our crew was awesome at stepping up when we needed them and fading back when we didn't. Would definitely recommend this company to others and will come back if we ever have another event we need a DJ for.
East Wind has one of the biggest dancefloors I've ever seen at a venue, and the Variety team kept it packed all night! They have so many options to make your day awesome. We had a ...
sax player and a drummer, as well as cold sparklers and zap photography. Everyone on their team was so sweet and so accommodating. They kept the party going even when my husband and I stepped off the dancefloor, which can be hard to do. They played a great mix of hits, and the live music was out of this world. The transitions in between the songs were so smooth and they didn't miss a beat. We had a few wedding DJs attending our wedding, so we wanted to pick a DJ who would impress, and they definitely passed with flying colors.
The music is one of the most important parts of your wedding. Tom (DJ), Ray (MC), Justin on the drums... ENOUGH SAID! They exceeded my expectations. If you're getting married, you ...
NEED this trio. The music was bumping and nobody left the dance floor. A month later from my wedding and I'm still getting texts from people about how good the music and atmosphere was. I also had a steel drummer for my cocktail hour. From the pass around props, and music, to their setup. They were a total WOW factor! These guys were energetic, professional, and made my wedding perfect! All I can say is, you need Variety Music for your event!
All around amazing experience. From working with Ray and Tom and getting all the details ironed out, to the amazing musicians and staff that made our day flawless, we'd recommend V...
ariety to anyone and everyone. Want to give a special shoutout to all those involved: Sal our MC and Christian our DJ - our guests have not stopped telling us how much they enjoyed these two. They were so professional and easy to work with and really just took our wedding to the next level. We also had Vinny and Paul at our ceremony, playing the piano and violin respectively. And Ed and Nick at our cocktail hour. The musicians were so great and so kind. We were so happy we added all four of them to our day. The music was perfect. With our wedding day being the most important day of our lives thus far it was nice working with a company that respected that and enhanced the overall experience.
We couldn’t be happier with the work done by Variety Music on our wedding day, 10/1/2022! We worked primarily with Ray and Tom who were easily accessible, responsive, helpful, and ...
enthusiastic at all times. For us, our wedding playlist was extremely important, and something we had been working on for quite some time. We had specific songs that we requested as “must plays” and we requested all the music played at our wedding to come directly from our playlist. Tom and Ray made it clear that if it was important to us, it was important to them too, and they followed through with all of our requests!! Not only that, we wrote specific introductions for the individual members of our bridal party with a different song to be played for each. Ray and Tom did an exceptional job with this and it was a huge hit! Ray even practiced the introductions for some time to ensure they went perfectly and they absolutely did, he did an exceptional job. With Tom as the DJ and Ray as the MC, our wedding was a blast, the energy was always up, and people were dancing the whole night! I would definitely recommend paying the extra money to have an MC in addition to the DJ. Overall, I would highly recommend booking Variety Music DJ Entertainment for your wedding, exceptional work at an extremely reasonable cost!

Variety did a wonderful a job from start to finish! The strings and the steel drummer made the ceremony and cocktail hour perfect. And of course Tom & Ray had ...
the dance floor going all night! It was the best night of our lives. Thank you to the whole Variety crew- the best in the business!!!
Variety music is amazing! We used two of their live musicians (Harp player and steel drums) for our ceremony and cocktail hour and they were both great. During our reception MC Ser...
g and his DJ killed it! They kept our guests on the dance floor all night and played everything we requested to hear. We highly recommend Variety Music!

e they had. Gerard took all of our requests and made any announcement I needed him too! Can’t say enough good things!!
Variety Music is awesome. After speaking with Ray on the phone back in 2021 for our 2022 wedding, I knew right away that they would be perfect. We wanted specific plays/do not play...
s and they completely understood that. Throughout the wedding planning process, Ray or Tom were always available via e-mail/phone. They were very prompt in answering and that’s always key when you are planning a wedding. We had the steel pan drummer/percussionist Howie and were able to add percussion to our reception with no issues. We were also able to change things last minute and everything was easy with no mistakes made whatsoever. I came in to our meeting before the wedding with a long play list and “ do not playlist”. I was worried about being judged for my craziness, but Ray was totally cool with it . When I called a few days later to talk to Tom to add a dance , based on our conversation, I could tell he actually went through the playlists and didn’t just brush it off. That meant a lot. He was also really enthusiastic about the 90s stuff we wanted played, and that just made me confident, when everything else about the wedding made me so nervous, that they were going to do a fine job.
As for the day of the wedding, it was perfect. All the songs I gave them for the ceremony and reception were played with no error. Ray and Tom came up to me and double checked with me on everything. People were on the dance floor all night, and if they weren’t on the dance floor, they were at the photo booth (also from variety ) , who gives you a scrapbook to take home with the pictures (hilarious alternative to a guest book) and gives you the files via e-mail (still laughing at these pictures nearly 2 weeks later). Ray was an excellent MC who the crowd adored and he was very interactive. He suggested a game which I never thought to do but it was so fun to watch and I really enjoyed it. Tom crushed it as the DJ. I could tell he loves his job and is very passionate about what he does. They all are really. Everyone was dancing, singing, sweating, including me. Our voices were gone from singing. Howie was such a vibe. I didn’t get to see him playing the steel pan at the cocktail hour, but he was amazing on drums and let us as well as my little niece and my uncle play drums too. The photo booth attendant was very friendly as well. Basically, if you LOVE music and the DJ is the most important vendor at your wedding, RUN to book Variety. I will continue to recommend them to anyone looking for wedding entertainment.
These guys are awesome !!!! We had 250 people at our wedding and they were up dancing the entire night ! The steel drum at cocktail hour was a hit and Howie even let our guests pla...
y the drums during the reception. Run don’t walk to book them !
Tom and Ray kept people dancing all night long and made sure every request we had was played!
Ray and Tom were the best and a complete pleasure to work with. I previously worked in this industry and did not appreciate the attitude and salesy nature of some of the other DJs ...
we interviewed. These guys were just down to Earth, nice people. The song selection was perfect and they did a great job of keeping everyone up on their feet all night without being “too much” for an older crowd. Thank you Ray and Tom for making our wedding a great success! We received so many compliments on the music and we would not hesitate to recommend or use you again for future events.
Overall we had a very positive experience. The DJ played the type of music that we wanted, not typical wedding songs. They were also able to play special cut versions of songs that...
we requested. The only negative was that they accidentally played the wrong song as I was walking down the aisle but it was an honest mistake.
Variety Music, Ray and his team are amazing! From start to beginning they have been awesome to work with! They provide amazing entertainment, and a truly exceptional experience. I ...
would highly recommend Variety Music to all of my friends and family, if I have another event I will be sure to book with this great group again, Thank you!
Such an awesome MC/DJ team - they did my brother's wedding and I had such a great time I booked them for mine! Tom was my DJ and Ray was my MC, every part of the planning process w...
as easy and fun. They are super nice and quick to respond, and they don't make things complicated, which is a breath of fresh air in the planning process. At my wedding they read the crowd well and had tons of unique ways to get guests onto the dance floor, I loved it and so did everyone else!

y as the MC were a great team! The party was so fun that Tom played for about 15 minutes after the venue turned their lights on to end the night!! HIGHLY recommend!!
Variety Music was an amazing addition to our wedding on October 9, 2021! We had a DJ provide music for our outdoor ceremony and the sound quality was excellent. We also had Howi pl...
ay steel drums during our cocktail hour and percussion during our reception alongside Curtis on the Saxophone – they were OUTSTANDING! They are extremely talented musicians and Curtis was super engaging on the dance floor! We are still receiving compliments from our guests on how fun the music was. Having Howi and Curtis alongside the DJ definitely brought the party to a higher level and we loved having them be a part of our day. Variety Music is also very responsive and easy to work with during the planning process. They also are great at being able to read the crowd and play music fitted to everyone’s interests. I highly recommend Variety Music – thank you again for being a part of our big day!
Variety music did a great job keeping our guest on the dance floor! We’re very happy we went with them of all of our choices. The reason I am giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because...
we specifically booked MC Ray and to our surprise with no heads up MC Sal showed up our wedding day. He was fantastic but still we specifically booked with Ray. Another thing that bothered me was my ceremony entrance song, it was not correct and I had no choice but to just walk out. With that being said, I still would 100% rebook with them. They kept the party alive and thriving from the beginning to the end.
We had our wedding on 8/27/21 and our experience with Variety Music Entertainment was phenomenal. Throughout the whole entirety of the planning process from booking to the day of t...
he actual event, this team was nothing less than stellar and professional. They were timely, responsive, and experts of their craft. They gave us the freedom to select songs and they put together our vision of our day perfectly through music and entertainment. We had Ray (MC), Tom (DJ), and James (Photobooth). All three individuals' energy were amazing. We received so many compliments about the MC, DJ, and Photobooth and we would highly recommend them to anyone without a doubt and we are not surprised at all at the other amazing reviews they've received. Our party had sooo much fun and there was never a dead moment on the wedding day and everything flowed so well. Variety Music Entertainment is an easy recommendation from us
Variety DJ was the best!!!! I got the recommendation from a friend who said I had to book them and they were right! We had a large wedding at the Watermill, and ALL our guests dan...
ced the entire night away! Sergio (MC) & Tom (DJ) were awesome to work with and Variety was so flexible with the challenges of COVID and postponing. Curtis on sax was also the perfect addition to the wedding and our guests loved his energy! Howie was also great on drums! I also recommend the sparklers which were perfect for our reception entrance. The owner Ray also helped us a lot as well! I have nothing but positive things to say about Variety, and highly recommend them!
I really don’t like to write reviews, but DJ variety did such an amazing job, they work with us to designs an amazing night. It was a nonstop party everyone was dancing the whole ...
night and the night flowed perfectly. As Christians we had many restrictions on music but they blended our style perfectly where everyone can dance. Thanks Ray and the staff.

Variety DJ was fantastic! They were extremely flexible and understanding when we needed to change our date due to COVID, they made the replanning process very easy! We appreciated ...
the detail they took before our wedding day, meeting with us beforehand to make sure they played music we loved and working with us to make our wedding party entries and first dance a huge success. On our big day, they kept the dance floor filled all night long with high-energy music and tons of fun! We also loved having their steel drum player at our cocktail hour, it really helped add to our tropical theme. We would highly recommend Variety DJ for all your special event needs!
After meeting with numerous other DJ companies in LI, we decided to go with Variety. Ray is amazing, always making himself available and going above and beyond. They are very acc...
ommodating and flexible with literally any request you may have.
DJ: Excellent job with the song selection/timing during the course of the ceremony/cocktail hour/reception/etc. They were able to keep people on the dance floor partying all night.
Saxophone: We are very happy with our decision to include a saxophone player. He was on the dance floor with all our guests and really took the music/vibe to another level. Friends said how they want a sax player with a DJ at any future events they attend.
Worth every penny! Ray and Sal at Variety played a huge part in our Wedding Reception being a special event.
Sal, our DJ and MC for the event, was professional, knowledgeable, an...
d a great overall entertainer. Variety has shown the talent and experience to keep the party going, even when problems or issues may arise.
Sal and Variety took the time to incorporate the song requests we made, and helped keep us on schedule, at times knowing our schedule better than we did.
We signed up for the basic one DJ/MC package, and that was great, but had we known how good they were, we would easily have gone for a bigger package, now believing it could have just helped the party feel even bigger and better. Nevertheless, Sal was integral in making the event the special experience it ended up being.
Our wedding was held as COVID-19 restrictions were started to loosen, and even though it was a small event, Sal helped the event feel 10x bigger than it was. For many guests, this was the first event and/or gathering they had attended since the lockdown, and the praise for Sal was overwhelmingly positive.
We would easily recommend Sal and Variety for your wedding of any size and speed. Thanks Variety!
The most incredible DJ and MC!!!! Listened perfectly to every single one of our requests, played the best music, kept the party going, I legit have zero complaints. Couldn’t imagin...
e having had a better DJ for my wedding.
Variety Music deserves all the stars!!!! Our wedding reception was the most amazing party because Variety Music kept the energy going and made the night flow so well. My guests had...
to be dragged from the dance floor at the end of the night. I have gotten endless compliments about Variety Music. People were physically sore in the days after our wedding because they danced so much. Highly recommend the DJ and MC combo. Music is one of the most important details for a wedding and if you want the perfect wedding celebration/dance party, choose Variety Music.
DJ Tom and MC Tay are such a dynamic duo! We met with Tombefore the wedding to go over everything and he was so thorough. He was so awesome and genuinely seemed excited for us and ...
pumped to DJ our wedding. Anything that I asked, he replied of course and he had done crazier before! They make you feel so at ease. Ray does this awesome game at the tables to get people dancing after dinner and it was amazing and hilarious to watch too. Many of my guests complimented that specific game and how awesome our DJ andMc were at the end of the night. They know how to keep the dance floor packed! Would hire them in a heartbeat!
Amazing!!!! We used Tom and Ray as our DJ/MC, and we had the band pieces including drums and sax, violins for our ceremony and live acoustic singer for our after party. We were ove...
r 225 people and they kept people up and dancing. Everyone RAVED about all of them. The sax really added that extra touch we were looking for. They pulled out all the stops! They had confetti bursts and sparklers that really made our party stand out. What they played was exactly what we wanted too. Highly recommend !
We booked them as our DJ, MC, and to do the room up lighting. Our MC was Ray and the DJ was Tom. They were both great to work with and kept the party going all night.
They were amazing. We had a DJ and MC and everyone was dancing all night. We are more into rock music and they mixed all genres really well. We also had the electric violinist and ...
she was amazing! Our guests were raving about her.
I have to say Variety music was the best they had everyone up all night and dancing. they were great they did everything that we asked and were great with all of our guests.
Best and easiest decision ever. Variety music kept the energy high and everyone on the dance floor!!! You must hire the zap photographer!!! He took incredible photos and you can...
never have enough pictures of your special day. I also hired strings for the ceremony. Everything was incredible from start to finish. They pay attention to detail and want your day to be just as special as you can possibly imagine. They exceeded all expectations!!!
I cannot praise Variety enough! Ray and Tom, from the moment we meant, made us feel like family. They had done my sisters wedding and I knew then that they were the dj team for us....
They made planning easy, and affordable.
We had the guitar player for the ceremony and cocktail hour which I believe added a different flair to our event. Then came time for our receptions. And When the evening came I had no doubt in my mind that this was going to be a most fun and fabulous reception. We danced the night away!
Thank you to Ray and Tom and their fabulous team!!
We booked Variety Music for our wedding, and it was the best decision ever. Ray and Tom, thank you for making our day great! The team was on top of it! If I had any questions, they...
were super responsive! Do not hesitate to book Variety Music! All of our guests loved the way they blended all of the music, including the cultural requests! Thank you for making our wedding memorable! Will definitely book them again for future parties we hold! Highly recommend!
Best DJ, MC, and percussionist EVER. Our guests were dancing all night and my husband and I got to play the drums. The dj played our whole list of requested songs and the addition...
al songs were perfect. So happy we chose them to be our dj. Also had the photo booth which was tons of fun. The guitarist we had at the cocktail hour was also amazing. If you are looking to have a fun time where all of your guests are up dancing, then variety music is who you should pick! Thank you again for a great time!!!!
My husband and I had an exceptional experience working with Variety Music. Tom was our DJ and Sal was our MC. Sal was articulate and fun when it came to announcing our wedding par...
ty and organizing games with our guests. Tom kept everyone on the dance floor the entire night from my grandparents to my parents friends to our friends. Tom played every song on our list that we provided him prior to the wedding at our last meeting as well as a couple of extra songs that fit with the genres of music that we like. He read the dance floor well and changed the music based on who was dancing at any given time. I would highly recommend using variety music for your wedding!
We had Tom and Sal for our DJ and MC and THEY WERE AMAZING! There was not one bad song played the whole entire night! We met with Tom the week before and he totally understood our ...
style and music type and did not let us down! They are adorable and professional company. We also used the photo booth from them that was a big hit! They put together a scrap book and gave us a usb of photos at the end of the night. Everyone had such an amazing time because of the music and the way Sal interjected at all the right times!
