    Simply the best

    OMG I have so many great things to say about Nick! We found out our DJ got COVID the Monday before our wedding and he cancelled. My husband and I were SCRAMBLING. 802 Events was the first DJ I called and Nick picked up. He was very friendly and said he may have a cancellation for the weekend of our wedding. A few hours later he confirmed that he could DJ for us. Nick sent a very thorough questionnaire and we chatted on the phone about the plan day of. When the day came he was on top of everything! Our guests could hear us at the ceremony (because my husband was mic'd up) and there was no weird feedback. He coordinated with our vendors and has such an eye for the details. He played all of the songs we wanted and really figured out our vibe. I would recommend Nick and 802 Events for any DJ needs! AMAZING.

    Hire Nick!

    Nick was an excellent DJ! Extremely professional and not at all cheesy. He sent us a comprehensive survey before the event to get a sense of our preferences/ requests, and then had a long phone call with us following up on it to make sure he understood everything we wanted. He did an excellent job, the dance floor was hopping all night long.

    Professional DJ service who could read the crowd

    We were extremely happy with 802 Events as our DJ and sound service for our reception. We were able to plan out an order of events for the evening that made handing off the mic for speeches and a candle lighting ceremony seemless. We were also very happy with the overall music selection which were based on a playlist and vibe we submitted, but changed based on the crowd. We highly recommend 802 Events.

    Professional, Thorough, a complete package

    Not only did Nick read all my crazy spreadsheets and timelines, he incorporated all our needs in a well organized and professional way. Nick worked with our last minute ceremony videographer to accommodate sounds needs during our ceremony. He played music everyone was happy with during our cocktail hour, and he helped move the event along through our wedding reception, announcing important things, pointing guests to the signature cocktail, setting up our photoslide show. Nick even helped us create a custom father/daughter song. And the photobooth was amazing and Nick created a custom design for the photos. He was familiar with our venue, Basin Harbor, and it made everything run so smoothly.

    802 Events Made Our Party a Party!

    Nick and 802 Events truly elevated our event! He engaged when appropriate with the right amount of energy, and stepped back when needed. I thought the mark of a quality DJ was the music selection, but I was wrong. Nick played our playlist, and other songs, but his overall orchestration was what made our celebration a party. By the end of the night he knew half the guests by name and roped unlikely friends and family to join in on the fun. And the photo booth was a huge hit!

    Nick’s attention to detail, before and during the event, put my mind at ease that all was taken care of. I couldn’t recommend Nick more strongly and I just want to go to another party he’s Djing!

    Nick with 802 Events was amazing! We had a lot of special requests in terms of the music we wanted played and he worked with us to make sure we got everything we wanted. He was fantastic throughout making sure everything was moving along according to plan and even found us near the end of the night to see if there were any last requests. The photo booth was also really fun - all of our guests loved it!

    Nick Stryker, Owner of 802DJ did an amazing job at our daughters wedding. His professionalism, attention to detail, preparedness and willingness to do whatever it took to make sure that the day was EXACTLY what she wanted will never be forgotten. We were able to totally enjoy every minute of the day. Nick was on it and made the day so smooth. We are so grateful to Nick.

    Not only was Nick Stryker the most professional, but he was always available for questions or concerns at any point in time. Weeks before our wedding, Nick was available to speak in person and on the phone, he asked for songs we absolutely wanted, songs we didn't, how we wanted the day run, not only spellings of names in our party but pronunciations, anything special we needed from him, or anything specific we didn't want there. The day of our wedding could not have run more smoothly, and I know it was because of him. I knew Nick/ 802DJ would be good, I had no idea just HOW good they would be. I would recommend them to absolutely anyone, and I can guarantee you will not only be satisfied, but you will leave wondering why anyone would pick any other DJ! Thank you 802DJ!!

    Nick – and everyone from 802DJ – were an absolute pleasure to work with. We got married at Riverside Farm on 9/16/17. Our coordinator, Kim, from RF, referred us to Nick. We began corresponding with him in January and from day one he was extremely professional, helpful, organized, thorough, and always willing to jump on a quick call or provide more details, advice, suggestions, etc. Nick helped us with a plethora of services on our wedding weekend including speakers and a mic for Friday’s Welcome BBQ, mics, a guitar connection and speakers for our ceremony, speakers for our cocktail hour and an amazing photo booth setup for our reception (someone to manage the booth, the equipment and setup, props, and an incredibly thoughtful photo album we were given at the end of the evening). I will have to say, the photo booth was definitely one of the most coveted places to be Saturday night and the photos will be something we will cherish and laugh at for years and years to come. Nick went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. He managed the music throughout the weekend (even when the band took a break during the reception). He helped us with the flow – and, to be honest, the overall outline – of our ceremony which was incredibly helpful and helped put our minds at ease. Everything that Nick and 802DJ provided, executed, and helped us with went off without a hitch… truly flawless. My husband and I did not have to worry about a thing the entire weekend – which we had a feeling would be the case as he had been so reliable and helpful for the 8 months leading up to the wedding. It was such a joy to work with Nick and 802DJ – I HIGHLY recommend them as I can assure you, you won’t be disappointed! I really don’t know what we would have done with them!!!

    Nick was our DJ at our wedding last September and was a pleasure to work with. He was very organized and responsive to emails and phone calls, no matter how minor of a decision. He was also very honest - on the day of our wedding, he recommended that we forego microphones during our ceremony, given our outdoor conditions, and reimbursed us for the cost. The music was fantastic! We weren’t overly-picky with our selection but he read the room and dance floor extremely well. We had such a great time and would recommend him to anyone.

    Nick and his crew helped make our wedding day absolutely perfect. They provided a DJ, Videography, and Photobooth for our wedding day, and we could not have been more pleased. They were patient throughout the whole process, answering all our questions. On the weekend of the wedding, they arrived early to make sure they knew the venue and had everything they needed. Everyone involved with 802 was continually attentive, responsive, accommodating, prepared, friendly, and fun. Having them there and seeing how well they took care of everything put us at ease so we could just focus on having an amazing time and dancing our pants off. Nick was great at getting the crowd moving and played all the songs we had requested. Also, the video came out amazing! So many of our friends have told us how impressed they were with level of professionalism and emotion conveyed through the video. It was also great having all the services (video, photobooth, DJ) through one vendor because they were able to communicate and run the evening seamlessly. I highly recommend 802 for your wedding!

    Working with Nick of 802 Event Group was a tremendously enjoyable experience. We chose 802 Event Group for our wedding and it made our weekend both memorable and perfect. From our first information request, to the planning of the full details of our day Nick made everything easy. Nick's familiarity with the area and our venue allowed him to easily provide DJ, photobooth and videography services as well as helping me to coordinate my surprise guitar performance during the reception. Every aspect of the weekend was perfectly conducted in a professional and friendly manner. Nick and his team arrived the evening before to ensure everything was in place and stayed until well after the last person left the dance floor. I would highly recommend Nick and 802 Events to anyone looking to hire a DJ in the New England area.

    Above-and-beyond service from Nick Stryker on our wedding day! We highly recommend him. He worked tremendously hard to make our day extra special, even in face of some awful weather. Our wedding weekend was a monsoon with a tremendous amount of rain and mud, which flooded our reception sight. Nick not only delivered everything according to our detailed plan, but was flexible when our schedule fell behind, found solutions when lightning preventing us from going under our tent for the reception, even continually mopped up our wet and muddy dance floor so guests wouldn't fall and the party could keep going. He is incredibly hard working and helped us throw the most memorable party of our lives. Our wedding day took a village to pull off, and we couldn't have done it without 802 DJs and Nick Stryker!

    802DJ was the perfect music pairing to our perfect wedding.

    802DJ’s expert guidance ushered my bride and I through an efficient process to ensure we received a playlist reflective of our love, and our event. After the on-boarding, they worked independently, timely, flexibly, and quietly behind the scenes on our behalf to ensure the audio portion of our big day was perfect! They are so well versed in the music cues that make a wedding sound great, including the understanding of their role as a piece of the whole production. They were so reliable, going above and beyond the expectation we had.

    802DJ provided a pro-level audio service, with wireless recordings of all audio (ceremony vows, readings, announcements, and speeches) so that we could use the technically clean tracks in our post-wedding video. This added immeasurable value to the memorializing of the celebration.

    802DJ kept the wedding reception rockin’ all night! They did a great job of 'reading the room’ as every song was enthusiastically greeted by all guests, with a packed dance floor providing the ultimate proof.

    I highly recommend 802DJ for your wedding!

    Before our wedding day, 802 walked through our entire wedding day with us and made sure that we had every detail outlined and that they knew exactly what our wants/needs were. They were very accommodating and flexible. All of our guests had so much FUN! Thanks 802 DJ for helping make our special day so memorable and fun.

    Our wedding at the West Mountain Inn was such an awesome night and Nick at 802 Events was part of the reason why. He did such a superb job picking when to play our random artist track requests, mixing in guest requests and infusing his own fabulous get-on-your-feet-and-dance selections. His orchestration of the evening got almost every soul attending to dance (if you judge success by how much dancing was done that night, Nick got an A+!) The photo booth was also a must-have addition to the festivities (which was confirmed by smile after smile captured on the photo booth images). So, if you’re reading this, you don’t need to look any farther than Nick. His positive attitude and great service at 802 Events was one of reasons the celebration was so fun and such a success.

    Nick's service was excellent! He listened to what I wanted and helped plan with his professional knowledge and experience. He was very quick with his responses and makes sure you're completely happy with you're experience. He gives a great deal if you find him at a bridal shower, huge plus to already great service! I can't stress enough how flexible he was for our big day!

    Nick did amazing work at our wedding! He kept everyone dancing, and he helped create such a great energy flowing all around. Lots of our guests commented on what a great DJ he was, and he did an excellent job incorporating guest’s requests into the music flow.

    Overall, he is extremely professional, reliable, personable and made everything run smoothly – giving us gave us the perfect night (even with curve balls like my brother's surprise speech). I couldn’t have imagined a more fun night, or a better DJ.

    He was also great in the planning process, he made things easy and created a play list that was personal, yet enjoyable for everyone!

    Nick is amazing and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ/ Videographer for their wedding. Nick made everything so seamless and provided us with a wonderful photobooth and photobook as a keepsake of pictures after the wedding. Nick also made sure that my husband and I had a drink in hand the entire night and were able to eat our dinner. He worked very well with all staff and other vendors at the wedding as well. Everyone danced all night long and he keep the dance floor packed which was a must for us! Hands down the best DJ in the state. Nick gets 5 plus for his wonderful service and music!

    802DJ was fantastic! Eric kept us on the dance floor all night playing great songs for us. He was a great MC, introducing everyone perfectly, and announcing the cake cutting and first dances, even through the emotions of the father(mother)/daughter dance! Christian was awesome at manning the photo booth! we had several children at the wedding who thought the photo booth was such fun! Christian was so patient and accomodating! Everyone got in on the fun, even our waitstaff! We were extremely happy with every aspect of our wedding by using 802DJ! I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a DJ for their wedding.

    Nick was so professional and our guests had an absolute blast dancing all night! He checked in with us regularly about how things were going and was able to improvise well when plans changed unexpectedly. He had us fill out a lengthy questionnaire and talk to him on the phone a few weeks out to go over the details of our reception to make sure we were all on the same page. Our guests loved the music selection and he read the crowd beautifully. Everyone at our reception was on the dancefloor for most of the evening, just as we had hoped. We could not have had a better DJ and highly recommend Nick's services!
