Variety Music DJ Entertainment

o many compliments on the music and the party saying it was the best wedding our guests have ever been to. Out of all of our vendors, I can say Variety Music was the absolute best!! A pleasure to deal with, priced appropriately, and created an amazing time. I will be recommending them to everyone I know. :) Thanks guys!!!!

ecommend!

ith our playlists. My guests did not leave the dance floor, and everyone raved about what a great time they had at our wedding. I would definitely recommend them for any affair. :)

to answer emails. We ultimately woundup selecting Tom as our DJ and Serge for MC after attending a bridal expo and we are SOO happy with this decision! Our wedding was a blast and the dance floor was packed all night. Not only did they incorporate our personal preferences but they really knew how to read the crowd (mixed ages 20-60s). Tom even suggested some ideas on how to structure our reception that helped make our night so personal and special. This was a very non-traditional setting (backyard garden wedding at my parents) and they blended right in with an awesome rustic wooden frontboard in their setup. Overall, we couldn't be happier with our experience and highly recommend Variety DJs!

he entire night! We asked them to make it a dance party and thats exactly what they did! All of our guests raved about Sal and how much fun they had. We will be sure to recommend Variety to all of our friends getting married in the area. Thank you so much!

r our ceremony. We used the DJ for our cocktail hour and reception and they didn’t disappoint! They kept the party going from start to finish. The music and lighting was awesome! Everyone one is still talking about how awesome our DJ was. I want to thank Tom & Ray for making the Zablow wedding something we always will remember! ☺

can’t say enough about the Sinatra singer. He was absolutely fabulous!!! My guests LOVED him and I received so many compliments. The pianist was really great and was able to play a special song that I had requested. My guests also all had a great time with the photo booth. I highly recommend !

as nice to deal with such professional company. Tom, made the entire process so easy. We never felt like they wouldn't do a great job. From initial meeting, to picking out all the songs, he gave us suggestions and took his time with us. Great company and fantastic staff.

o persuade on a DJ as he preferred a band. After much discussion he felt comfortable with Variety and felt they were the best possible DJ we could get. We were really looking forward to our special day because of the great vibes we have been getting from Tom. Well day of... Tom showed up and Ray (our MC ) almost missed our reception. Okay.. I get it things happen. Now let's get to the music selection. We asked for 90's (r&b, hip hop, pop), some newer hits, and some cultural music as my family is Italian and my husband was looking for a few Jewish dances. Well aside from the cultural music.. the rest was a mess. Tom was playin 70's hits.. which is exactly what we didn't want. We had to go over to them and ask them to change the music selection multiple times. Additionally, we had some family from our of town (Texas) and they just kept referencing them and saying "Here's one of our Texas folks" it just got old real fast. I also wanted to recognize my grandparents for being the oldest couple in the room. I gave him their names in advance.. and then during the announcement he called my grandma Vivian. Her name is Mickey? I was mortified. As much as I really felt connected in the beginning of this process with Variety, I have to say they were one of our most disappointing vendors. We believe great music makes or breaks the event, so this was especially heartbreaking for us. The one thing I will praise them on, is the musicians for the ceremony and cocktail hour were wonderful.

he most important aspects and we are so happy we decided to use Variety Music. Tom & Ray were so easy to work with, very responsive, very reasonably priced and made it a very seamless process. At our final meeting, we went through every single detail, explained the genres of music we wanted, helped us decide the sequence of events throughout the night and everything went off without a hitch. Tom and Ray were AMAZING - they were fantastic at reading their audience and the dance floor was completely PACKED the entire night - this is exactly what we hoped for and our guests are still talking about how much fun they had. We also hired Howi, the percussionist and he was a HIT! He let the guests play around on the drums, and gave the party such an upbeat and exciting vibe. We also used them for lighting and the room looked perfect and exactly what we had envisioned. You will not be disappointed!

ss. Even more, we had so many compliments the day of the wedding! We know our friends and family will seek out there services!! Andrew played guitar for our ceremony and cocktail hour and he was Absolutely amazing!!! Tom was our DJ, Ray was MC and Drew played played percussions and i would recommend this combo a million times!

me! We highly recommend them for any wedding/party needs! Thank you for everything!!

main event it took a beautiful classical turn. Then they had a singer/songwriter for the cocktail hour with an acoustic vibe - just a warm up to the reception. Ray was our MC, had a fabulous DJ, percussionist, and sax player! I don't think I have ever seen a wedding have an entire dance floor hopping from the start to the absolute last minute of the reception. These guys are the real deal, very professional, and can read and feed a crowd effortlessly. Thank you. Kristie & Chris

very concern, request and in the end orchestrated an amazing event. Highly recommend Variety DJ to take care of any event.

in person as to what they had to offer. Tom was our DJ and Ray was our MC and it was great to get to meet with your actual DJ and MC each time you met with them. My husband was adamant about only booking a duo that we had met with so we knew their personalities before hand. Booking Variety Music DJ was one of our best decisions as our dance floor was packed all night. Tom was able to keep every body dancing to the music while Ray interacted with my guests on the dance floor. The music was perfect, and we got quite a few compliments on how good it was and that the volume of music just right. Not too loud that you can't hear yourself think yet just loud enough to keep people partying. We hired a saxophonist for during our cocktail hour, and he played beautiful, soft music. Mixing in some current tunes with the usual jazz songs. Lastly, we had a Photo Booth at our wedding that our guests absolutely loved. There was a constant stream of guests enjoying themselves in front of the camera and utilizing all the props. It was great that the attendant made us a little guestbook with the photos taken and had our guests write us a little note. That was a great personal touch that left an impression on us. If you are looking for a good DJ and MC team that will keep your party going all night we definitely recommend Variety Music DJ. They took all our tastes and concerns into consideration and really made our wedding a party to remember.

the time of their lives. They truly made our big day a success and a party that our guests will be talking about for years to come. They listened to everything we had to say and all of our crazy requests and it was a night that we will never forget!!! Thank you for everything you guys did to make our wedding reception a hit!

s! They know how to party!

rking with Ray beforehand to set things up and work within our budget. Definitely would use Variety again!

stened to our requests and were so nice to deal with. We got so many compliments about the DJ and MC. You can't go wrong with Variety music!

ng until they noticed him singing at the top of the staircase at cocktail hour. I gave Variety a few must play songs and genres we wanted to hear. He Hit the nail on the head with his mixes and song choices - it was almost like he knew us personally. The Music was hands down the best part of my reception- Everyone could not stop dancing. I could not be happier with Variety Music- Sergio & the amazing Sinatra singer.

e them for our May 20th wedding!

cking out other DJs, we knew that Variety was the right fit for us. After sitting down with Tom, we were blown away by how much Variety offers. We ended up adding the photo booth, live musicians, and uplighting to our package. We hired two strings players for our ceremony and a singer/guitarist (Michael) for our cocktail hour. We were so happy with their performances, and it really added something special to our day. The XL photo booth was a great way for our guests to have a little fun off the dance floor, and I love looking at my album of all the pictures. The pink and blue uplighting that we chose made an already beautiful room POP! We can't say enough about Ray and Tom; they were so professional and really got the crowd engaged. They played a great mix of music and kept the party going. We highly recommend Ray and Tom if you are looking for a DJ/MC for your next event!

ct for our wedding as he understood how to read a crowd and changed his approached to our crowd seemlessly. We wanted to thank Sal and his staff for making our day fun and entertaining. We would strongly recommend Variety DJ to anyone planning an event.

p-lighting for our event space and I could not be happier!Our guest were up dancing ALL night, Howie let tons of our guest on the drums and our ZAP photographer captured so many priceless photos and not to mention that he literally photographed every single guest that was at our wedding. That's not something your regular wedding photographer does so it's nice to have those pictures to remember every person that was there that night! Ray made sure everything flowed perfectly and Tom played the PERFECT mix of music throughout the night. For anyone who enjoys Sinatra I HIGHLY recommend adding him to your package.We kept that as a surprise for our guest for dinner hour and many of them didn't even realize that someone was actually singing. That's how good he sounds!!! If you want quality go with Variety they will NOT let you down!

way up to the night of the wedding was so smooth. He answered my (many) emails so quickly and gave me honest feedback with all of my requests. Tom was our DJ, Sal was our MC and Howie was our percussionist. They all worked so well together to make the music flow from song to song. I still get compliments on how the dance floor was packed all night long because the music was so great. Last but not least, hands down the best part of what Variety did the night of the wedding. They played our last song, and when the lights went on the entire dance floor changed "One more song, one more song" without hesitation Tom played Bye, Bye, Bye and everyone went nuts. I could not have asked for a better DJ to provide entertainment for what was the most amazing night of my life!!!!!

he music was.

nded right away and was super accommodating. We had several people tell us "best wedding DJs ever". Thank you guys so much for making my night so amazing.

schedules closer to the wedding to hash out the details (i.e. what music the string quartet would play during our ceremony, order of events throughout the reception, providing song suggestions, being a gatekeeper on interesting song requests, etc.). They both stayed true to what we were looking for in terms of music and feel for the night, which we deeply appreciated. Music really makes or breaks an event, and I'm happy to say that Variety Music DJ far exceeded our expectations. Thank you, Tom and Ray!

music. My guests are HUGE party animals and love to dance, so playing up beat music was crucial. We didn't want a lot of slow songs and wanted to keep everyone moving. Variety 100% listened to us! They played exactly the type of music I wanted. No one sat down! Our DJ had to, literally, tell guests three times that dinner was served because no one was sitting down! It was AMAZING! I am so happy with their service and have already refereed the to my friends! ***We also got the Step & Repeat instead of the photo booth and it was well worth it. Our guests LOVED it. I highly recommend it!

we choose them!

anning a wedding

drums and we loved all the action shots the zap photographer took. I would highly recommend variety music . We couldn't have asked for a better group of guys to dj our wedding -Kaitlyn & Dan O'Connor

the do not play list. The MC got people up on the dance floor and made it a great wedding! I would recommend Variety Music to anyone looking for music for an event!

y. He really saved the day when he offered my husband black duct tape when his shoes broke right before the reception began. Ray did a wonderful job at keeping the party going (without being over the top) and keeping the night moving smoothly. Overall, we would highly recommend Variety Music for their DJ/MC services.

! Is anyone looking for great and professional people to take care of your party? Variety Music is the answer! You won't be disappointed! ❤️❤️❤️ Martyna & Jorge💕

way. They had everyone on the dance floor and I mean everyone! In a venue that should hold 220 guests, we only had 175 people and there was no room on the dance floor because no one left it all night. Bowie was amazing on the percussion, Jim Altamore was amazing for cocktail hour with the Sinatra music, and everyone had an incredible time. A dj makes the party and we are told that this one hands down made ours one of the best wedding people have been to.

veryone was dancing, the music flowed throughout the night and everyone had a great time. I highly recommend them to play at your next event!

ed the whole night. Our MC spoke just enough to make sure our guests were having a good time but not so much that it felt overwhelming. We also had a drummer play steel drums during cocktail hour and percussion during the reception both of which went over really well with our crowd! Thank you Variety for doing such an amazing job and for keeping the party going all night!

nd great. He had everyone up and dancing. He went out of his way to make our day perfect. So many of our guests told us that it was the best wedding they had been to. I highly recommend Variety Music.

ole song, blend the songs effectively, transition through genres based on the crowd's reaction, etc.), we were confident that these people knew what they were talking about! When our wedding was getting closer, we met with the actual DJ who was SO excited about sharing his vision for our wedding that all of our stress seemed to melt away. It has been six months since our wedding, and we have been to many weddings over the past several months, and our guests still tell us how amazing our DJ and MC were... We strongly recommend Variety Music, and if we could do it all again, we would choose this vendor every time!

oth, and had Tom as our DJ and Ray as our MC. Everyone did a great job and we have been getting nothing but rave reviews about all of the music-the ceremony music was beautiful, Andrew is very talented, and thanks to Tom and Ray the dance floor was full the whole time! Variety listened to what we wanted and made sure to follow through with all of our requests on our wedding day. Everyone we dealt with at Variety (we mostly spoke with Tom and Ray) was professional and we never had to wait for appointments to meet with them or answers to our many questions. They also had no problem accommodating us with wonderful music for the entirety of our wedding, which was longer than your typical 5 hour wedding. I would 100% recommend Variety Music (especially Tom, Ray and Andrew!) for any event you are planning -you will not regret it, and you will have peace of mind knowing that you are dealing with professionals who know how to throw a great party.

dding we met with Tom and after a few minutes he knew exactly what we wanted. Everyone at the wedding was dancing the whole time. We also had a pianist and saxophone for the cocktail hour, Then we had the saxophonist stay for an hour into the reception along with a percussionist till the end. They did the uplighting which added the perfect touch to the room. Everything Variety brought to the wedding was amazing!

He performed on the venue's piano pre-ceremony and brought his keyboard to play outside during the ceremony. Variety did a great job lighting up the three room that we used. I was very happy with the way everything looked. My only disappointment was with the MC/Dj combo. We did request that they be low key but it was almost too low key. My fiance and I agree that the party never really got revved up. Other than announcing us as we walked in, announcing the cutting of the cake and the toasts, the MC was silent. While we loved our wedding Variety Music was the only slight disappointment.

ed to hear. We had Howie do the steel drums during the cocktail hour and percussions during the reception and he was amazing! We also had the photo booth, which our guest had such a great time with. We got a photo book with all the pictures and the guests were able to write a little something to us, as well as a thumb drive of all the pictures! We got the room up lighting, which just looked great. We also got the plasma TVs where they put together a beautiful montage of my husband and I, and took pictures throughout the night and displayed them on the TVs (we also got a copy of these pictures). Tom, Ray and Howie were so friendly and such a pleasure to work with. We had a wonderful time at our wedding and highly recommend them!

to us and played exactly the kind of music that we wanted to hear. I couldn't have picked out a better playlist if i tried. So happy I found them, and I highly recommend them!!

ting special requests during our speeches portion. Overall, my husband and I were thoroughly pleased with their performance and professionalism throughout our special day!

re Egyptian, so we wanted to have 50% arabic music 50% American music and they did this PERFECTLY. I wouldn't have chosen anyone else for our wedding. Everyone told us after the wedding that the entertainment was amazing and that it was the best wedding they had every been to. I would like to think that Variety Music had A LOT to do with that. Thank you!!!

make it their priority to make us feel comfortable and left us with nothing to worry about. The DJ and MC were great; I still get compliments to this day about their fun, positive attitudes and how they kept the energy and party going all night. We also made the decision to hire them to do our ceremony music. All I can say is, perfection! The music was on point from beginning to end. They helped make our day special and memorable. I would recommend them to anyone! Thank you so much Variety, we couldn't imagine our day with you guys!

em was an absolute pleasure. They are very responsive, they were able to work within our budget to provide us with a fantastic show at an affordable price! The music is ON POINT! We have attended about 5 weddings since ours and the music has completely ruined the experience. NOT WITH VARIETY MUSIC!! Every single time I have seen them perform (whether it is an actual event like a wedding or sweet 16 OR even just a bridal show) they are 100% on their game. Their presentation is beautiful, and I can not emphasize how professional they were. They provided us with a sheet to fill out to notify them of our song requests which worked perfectly. The entire night we had the ENTIRE WEDDING OF 170 ON THE DANCE FLOOR, even til the LAST SONG! I have never seen that! These guys make it happen. One of the MOST MEMORABLE parts of your special day is in the music and the dances. I am certain that I will be using ONLY Variety Music from here on out for all of our events!

nt artists on it and they made sure not to play any of them! Very professional and very fun...you will not regret using these guys!!!

d all questions quickly and accurately. I trusted that with my music preference, they would take care of us, and they absolutely did! They played everything we asked for, and avoided anything that we didn't want played, along with coming up with great song suggestions during our meetings. Everything came together beautifully. Guests could not stop complimenting the percussionist who added a little extra to each song. Ray kept the crowd going all night long, and the zap photographer had a blast with our guests, while capturing some awesome memories that we will have forever! Also, the photo booth was a great hit, and everyone loved it. I cannot say enough about how happy we are with Variety Music, and they will be the first we call the next time we need a DJ!

elped answer all my questions along the way. Got the party going and kept people dancing all night! We also had a montage which was a nice add on for guests to see. Would definitely recommend them to future brides!

ocktail hour music to the last song was exactly what we wanted and more. Our DJ and MC were the life of the party and had everyone dancing as soon as we were announced and the party DID NOT STOP!!! they were so great I would recommend them for every party/wedding especially if you want your guests to dance!

n had us dancing as soon as we walked in the door until it was time to go home. They are flexible, courteous, prompt, detail-oriented, and affordable. Anyone considering a DJ in the NY/NJ area should consider Variety.

ing our ceremony and cocktail hour and he was GREAT! I can not tell you how many guests raved about him and asked me for his contact info. Tom was our DJ and he was very easy to work with from beginning to end. Ray was our MC at our wedding, he was great however he was a last minute stand-in (the MC that we had requested got sick and could not make it to the wedding) and he did not seem to know exactly what we wanted, however he did a nice job in the end. The night turned out great and we would both highly recommend Variety Music for your wedding or any event.

production was PERFECT! Our guests absolutely loved the steel drums during our cocktail hour, they were so incredibly impressed with the talent of the Frank Sinatra singer and there was NEVER a moment that our dance floor was not packed with guests dancing the night away. Our DJ , Tom was able to play music specific for every single guests taste so that each one of them felt comfortable and willing to dance all night long. Our MC , Ray did an incredible job at leading our reception and setting the exact mood for the evening that made all of our guests comfortable and ready to party. Our guests had the best time in the photo booth and our zap photos were incredible. Leaving our reception we already had over 400 fantastic photos of our day that captured every single amazing moment of our reception. We can not say enough wonderful things about this company. Amazing staff...knowledgable, professional, extremely friendly and personable. We would HIGHLY recommend this company to anyone getting married - you will not be sorry choosing Variety Music for your big day. Our guests have told us that our wedding was one of the best they have ever been too and we know that is due in very large part to Variety! Thank you for making our day beyond perfect! :) Peter and Jesica Lundberg - Married August 8th, 2014

c offered the most for our money. We met with Ray, who took the time to explain all of our options and really listened to what we wanted for our wedding day, without trying to “sell” us on anything. We booked their string trio for our wedding ceremony, music for both our cocktail hour and reception, and their Frank Sinatra singer during dinner. Not only did they cater to our music needs, but also provided us with up-lighting to help us create the atmosphere we wanted for our reception space. When it got closer to our wedding date, we met with Tom who helped us decide on songs and really listened to the types of music we wanted to be played at our wedding. On our big day, Variety Music definitely delivered. The string trio was beautiful, the Frank Sinatra singer was spectacular, and Ray (our MC) and Tom (our DJ), kept our guests dancing and happy the whole day! We received so many compliments about the wide selection of music we had at our wedding, and so many of our guests were impressed with the Sinatra singer’s voice. I would highly recommend Variety Music to any couple that wants high-quality, customized entertainment for their wedding day!

MC - we were so impressed! Meeting with them before the wedding was easy and fun...they get everything you want to do and they make it happen ! Fabulous job done by all at Variety...Thank You!!!

ple out to the dance floor. He also was very helpful with helping me get my point across.The MC and DJ worked together great! They were going back and forth on what to play next. I love how they remembered our guest names and made them feel special. Everyone was dancing the whole night. The way a wedding should be!

r choice!
