We had DJ Paul Natale at our wedding and he was phenomenal. He really listened to our requests and DO NOT PLAY lists and didn't mess with it at all. Not a cheesy dj, really classy!

We hired Cory Harding for our DJ and we could not have been happier with his services. He played great music all night and really abided by the "do not play" list. He was always very easy to get a hold of and flexible with any special requests for the reception. We would highly recommend him!

I am not generally a fan of bands at weddings - too many competing tastes, limited playlists, etc. But Metro was *amazing*. They played impeccably - and presented beautifully and professionally - playing perfect jazz and standards through dinner and then had people on their feet from the end of dinner till the absolute last second of the reception -- and several of our guests who said they were leaving ended up back on the dancefloor! Our dance floor ended up being way too small because everyone was dancing, so we had to move the tables back for more room. Great band!

We had Flipside play at our wedding. We had heard them at a wedding a few years back and thought they were the best wedding band we had ever heard. When we got engaged, we contacted them immediately - since we knew they booked up so quickly. They can perform any type of music from Journey to Etta James to Michael Jackson! And it sounds amazing! We still get compliments on the band from our guests. In all honesty - we could have had the wedding anywhere...as long as they were our band.

Cory Harding of Murray Hill Talent was our DJ, and he was AMAZING! My husband and I are both musicians, and looked long and hard for a dj who wouldn't be obnoxious or silly and play the music we wanted. Cory Harding fit the bill perfectly! He has a tremendous knowlege of different kinds of music and was very open to a few unorthodox requests we had for the cocktail hour and dinner. Then, he was able to keep our guests dancing all night long! We really appreciated how he listened to and thoughtfully implemented our requests and we heard a ton of feedback from friends and family about how great the dj was and how he really seemed to "get" us! We've already referred him to a few of our (music snob) friends!

Murray Hill provided all of the music for our wedding - trio for the ceremony, guitarist for the cocktail hour and Paul Natale as our DJ for dinner and dancing. It was perfect! The trio did a fantastic job and Tom, our guitarist, really set the mood for a fun, relaxed evening. I think Paul may be the best DJ! The dance floor was packed the entire evening and everyone - from 5 to 85 - had a blast! The stress over music was eliminated because Murray Hill just took care of it all. We had a blast!

The Band Flipside and Corin, the DJ, were absolutely amazing at my wedding. From the time the band started till the end of the reception, which lasted from 7pm to 1:30am, people were dancing non stop. They are a definite for all weddings!!!!

Working with Murray Hill Talent was an excellent experience, the results were visible at our reception where the dance floor was packed. Our DJ really listened to our likes and dislikes and was extremeley knowledgeable about what to play when to really get people dancing. The flow of the night went so smoothly, the music during the cocktail hour led perfectly into the first dance and then after dinner things really kicked up. I had so many compliments from our wedding guests on the music and how great the dancing was, it was more than I could have asked for.

Josh Arekelian through Murray Hill: this was my least favorite vendor – he was nice & professional, but all we asked was for him to play 70s Disco & 80s Pop and nothing crude. Somehow this was too much to ask – he played songs out of our genre & played AC/DC’s Shook Me All Night Long. Not a HUGE disappointment, but this was my least favorite.
It kind of irked me to pay $1,000 for someone with a Mac computer to play itunes - not complicated! but then couldnt stick to a very simple guideline.

Other than that, he was very professional & just let us do our thing..

Paul was exactly what I wanted-not cheesy, played good music, definetly had the dance floor packed all night. I think I have received more compliments on him and the music than anything else! And a genuine all around good guy!

Our DJ was Paul Natale. He was fabulous! He's got excellent taste in music and doesn't play the same old, tired wedding songs. He's very classy, not obnoxious like so many DJs are. He even made the extra effort to find and download my parents' wedding song to play for them. So many of my wedding guests told me he was the best DJ they've heard. I would enthusiastically recommend him to anyone!

I booked Murray Hill on the recommendation of another bride and was very pleased. I initially worked with owner Paul Natale, who was able to suggest a DJ based on the kind of music we wanted to hear. That is how I hooked up with Brendan Howard. Brendan did a fantastic job and I would highly recommend him to anyone. My husband and I didn't want lots of games (which Murray Hill discourages) and were requesting some Shag music, which isn't typically part of a Boston wedding. Brendan accommodated both these points. He communicated very well with me over the long distance, and even provided the reception planning materials before Paul did. Additionally, Brendan was flexible working with me the day of the wedding. I had originally wanted cocktails and dancing to be on an outside terrace, but the weather was iffy all afternoon. He and I decided to put a speaker outside, and one inside by the dance floor and to have both areas open for dancing. It worked out perfectly and I was so thankful he was able to do that for me. Very professional, checked in with the venue staff and myself as needed. I would highly recommend this company! (Brendan especially)

Brian Delac was our Dj, he was great. He played all the stuff we wanted to hear and totally stuck to our do not playlist. He was able to download songs right from his computer if he didn't have them already. The party went all night long and we even payed him extra to stay another hour. Totally recommending them to all that want to throw a great party!! No silly props, annoying lighting and he didn't take over on the mic.

They were an amazing band, but they did not follow our requests. They suggested that we hire an extra guitarist for $400 to play the rock we requested, then did not play the rock and roll we wanted, in fact, they played the exact songs that were on our do-not-play list. Our guests had a great time, but if you are looking for specific music, make sure that you are clear from the beginning.
