    Parties Alive did an amazing job for our wedding. Rich, Dan, and Greg paid close attention to all the little details of our requests and made our wedding the way we wanted it! Rich has made the whole process from the moment we sat down to create a contract to the day of the wedding a breeze. Everything I asked to be played at our wedding was played and even requests on the day of were given. Rich even spoke to us many times leading up to our wedding about little details we wanted for entrance songs and questions regarding our photo montage. He was always quick to get back to you and very accommodating. I cannot thank Rich, Greg, and Dan enough for making our wedding the best party. Everyone enjoyed the music and the dance floor was always packed out! I'm very happy we chose Parties Alive and plan on using them for future events.

    Parties Alive blew our expectations away!! We hired them for our wedding on June 2, 2018 in Montauk, NY and we could not have asked for a more personalized event because Dennis, Greg and Rich with Parties Alive took extreme attention to the details we wanted. I gave them a long list of songs and when I heard almost every songs I requested played at our wedding I was beyond excited. It was so personal and really made our wedding feel like OUR wedding. The MC was perfect on the mic, speaking just enough and not too much and the DJ really ensured the music was what we wanted, when we wanted it, and made sure it flowed with the crowd. When the crowd on the dance floor was low they motivated people to come dance. They really kept the party going and read the crowd and adjusted to make sure everyone was having a good time. From the exact timing of the entrance songs, cake cutting and dances, to the Congo line with my specially requested song and limbo it was SPOT ON!! We hired the live drums and saxophone player through Parties Alive and this was such an amazing and fun addition that I would highly recommend. The live musicians interacted with the crowd which was just one more thing that kept the crowd having fun. The music is really everything at a wedding and Parties Alive truly made our dreams come true! Everyone cannot stop talking about how much fun they had thanks to Parties Alive. Their professionalism and experience really shows and we are so lucky that we went with them. Beyond thankful to Dennis, Greg and Rich!!!
    P.S. They were easy to deal with and on time and ready to go!

    BOOK THEM NOW! Parties Alive provided ceremony/cocktail hour music, MC and percussionist for my Saturday afternoon wedding reception. They were reliable, accommodating, and initiated dialogue not only before, but during the event that helped them ensure that I was happy with the type and amount of music during the event. What impressed me the most was their professionalism and upbeat personalities. My Mom fell 2/3 of the way during the reception and broke her hip. After she was taken to the hospital, MC Rich asked me how I wanted to proceed with the last 45 minutes of the reception. It was my decision to spend the remaining time dancing. He and his crew got everyone back up on the dance floor. The DJ took old school songs and laid in a fresh EDM beat so older people and younger people were happy with the music. We got so many comments about how much fun they had and how much they loved the music and percussionist.

    My husband and I were married on April 15 2016 and Mitch from Parties Alive was our DJ. Overall, Mitch was great - he accommodated the last minute changes to the pre-ceremony and processional with ease, played music all night that kept the dance floor full, and MC'ed the evening with the right amount of talking and interacting with the crowd. He helped to direct the proceedings perfectly. Mitch was a super nice guy, smiled the whole night, and checked in with my husband and I, and parents through the reception to ensure all was OK.

    We provided a small list of songs we definitely wanted to hear (and we did), and Mitch chose the right songs to complement them perfectly. He also double checked with us re a few requests that came from guests that were on our no-go list, which was appreciated!

    Overall, Mitch was great and did a fab job! We had compliments through the event from our guests about how great the music was - can't ask for more than that.

    My sister hired Parties Alice to DJ her wedding ten years ago and they did such a great job that we ended up asking them to stay for three more hours! Ten years later when I got engaged the first thing my dad asked me was, “did you call the DJ?” Before we did anything else my dad wanted to make sure we called the DJ to check his availability because Parties Alive truly made the night! They were just as great ten years later, and I have been to other weddings since and there is never a complaint. My number one wedding recommendation!

    There are only a couple of things that your guests will remember about your wedding reception, and the music is probably the Number 1 thing. My husband and I are so grateful that we chose Parties Alive for our 3/4/16 wedding. Rich was our MC and Sean was our DJ; we also had saxophonist during our cocktail hour who was great. They definitely kept our party alive all night; the dance floor was packed until the very end of our reception. We received so many compliments about the DJ and their awesome music selections. We had only requested a few key songs that we wanted to play, and the rest was in the hands of the DJ. We loved every moment on the dance floor thanks for Parties Alive.

    Parties Alive Entertainment was truly an unforgettable experience, and wowed us from the moment we sat down to the end of our wedding. After reviewing several DJ vendors, there were many distinguishable aspects that made Parties Alive our top choice. In the beginning, were able to meet Rich (MC) and Greg (DJ) before we made our final decision. They thoroughly went through the details of the evening which put our minds at ease. Rich and Greg helped make many of the song choices and are truly great at what they do. From beginning to end, the dance floor was never empty and the party never stopped.

    Thank you Parties Alive for making our wedding an unforgettable experience!

    Rich & Greg were awesome! They took in everything we spoke about from the tone of the wedding, upbeat music list and no line dancing. They were both great to work with. Giving us ideas when we had trouble picking our entrance song to adding more songs to our long extensive list - ha! We really loved every song they played and so did our guests. We couldn't get over the fact that it was just a DJ an no band, they definitely out did themselves, as we haven't been the biggest fan of DJ's at previous weddings because the MC is always a bit too much. I am so glad we booked them and will definitely look to book them again in the future.

    To start off my wife and I fought for several months about whether we were going to have a band or a DJ, lets just say Rich and Parties Alive helped me win my first argument as husband/wife. We met with Rich (owner) and Greg(DJ) a few times before the wedding and every time they were more than accommodating, and gave great song recommendations when we couldn't decide. They were not pushy in any way, nor did they try selling us additional add-ons that they knew we did not want( these were some of the issues our friends ran into when booking a DJ). We explained to Rich and Greg everything that we wanted and we never had one complaint. We gave them a playlist consisting of about 60 songs ( a typical wedding has around 120 songs) and just by looking at it for only a few moments Greg was able to figure out exactly the style of music we were looking for.

    The night of the wedding multiple guests kept coming up to my wife and myself telling us how great the DJ was. They had the dance floor packed throughout the entire evening, which is exactly what we wanted. We've been to weddings where DJ's talk way too much on the microphone, or make the guests play games. Rich and Greg did none of that, they kept the music going from the beginning all the way to the end, making it the best night ever. A few guests made a request, and Rich came straight to my wife asking if the songs were okay, which we were very happy with (of course we said yes). Greg's playlist was incredible, and Rich as the MC was exactly on point.

    For anyone looking to book a DJ who really listens to what you want for your wedding, Parties Alive is the way to go. We look forward to booking our next event with them!!

    Parties Alive's reply:

    Thanks so much Kevin, it was an honor being selected to be such an integral part of your wedding celebration. I'm so glad that we were able to help make some beautiful memories. Best wishes!

    Greg was our DJ/MC for our wedding and he did an awesome job! He was very pleasant and accommodating while deciding on music to be played during the ceremony and cocktail hour, etc. he had a lot of music to choose from to get ideas, and was more than happy to download anything he didn't have. During the wedding he played a great variety of music to dance to and had a great energy to him. I received many compliments from my guests regarding the music selection, and Greg! I couldn't have been happier with Greg and Parties Alive and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to have a great time with great music to get everyone moving! Thanks so much Greg and Parties Alive you made our wedding so much fun!!

    Ari and Jacklyn (wedding couple) looooved it. Parents of bride and groom looooved it. Guests loved them too, especially the percussionists! But everyone was wonderful. We wouldn't change a thing. We used you from another wedding my parents attended--Eric and can't remember; Labor Day weekend wedding--and was even more fabulous! Thank you!!!!!

    We got married on July 25, 2015 and we hired Parties Alive to be our D.J. -They were FANTASTIC!! It was the best decision we made for our wedding! Rich and Greg make a fabulous team. From the moment we met them, we knew that we wanted them at our wedding. They are professional, knowledgeable, talented, and hardworking. They responded to all of our questions and met with us on several occasions to help plan our special day. They played all of the music we wanted and did everything perfectly! Our guests are still calling us to tell us how fabulous they were! Many of our friends have said that it was the best wedding they have attended mostly because of the music! Rich was our MC and Greg was the DJ. They dressed professionally and looked great! Rich spoke very well and knew what to do every step of the way. Greg knew how to read the crowd and play the appropriate songs to keep everyone dancing. We also used a zap photographer (Dan) through Parties Alive and he did a great job taking pictures/video clips of our party and then live streaming it on the big screens- Our guests loved that! Parties Alive also created a photo montage for us using photos from our childhood, dating years etc. The montage was very well done and our guests loved it!! We also used Parties Alive to rent lounge furniture for our venue and it looked beautiful! We loved everything that we hired them for and they made us so happy with their services. Our wedding was special to us for many reasons...and Parties Alive is one of the main reasons why it was so special. We would highly recommend them to anybody who is looking for entertainment.

    From the moment I met Rich I knew Parties Alive was the perfect entertainment company for our Wedding day. During our engagement, Rich and his team were really responsive to all our questions and requests. Words CAN NOT express just how amazing our wedding was and it was so AMAZING because of Parties Alive! They literally rocked our wedding from start to finish. Rich is the most amazing MC and Justin on the percussion was incredible! Even my 83 year old Nana told me she enjoyed watching him. I never had so much fun dancing in my life. Everyone was having the time of their lives which was so amazing to watch. They played music everyone liked- that’s skill! I would recommend using them in a heartbeat. I will be using them in the future as well!

    AMAZING!!! My sister used them for her wedding and they were awesome. They were just as awesome for my wedding. Greg was my DJ and Sean was the MC. Whenever I emailed or called them they were very responsive. I wanted a party atmosphere with top 40 and no cheesy line dances and they did everything I asked.
    They were so much fun and were great at reading the crowd and keeping the party going all night. Every single person told me how awesome the DJ and the playlist were. And the were very reasonable priced. Definitely could not recommend them enough!!!

    The one thing I wanted was for everyone to be up and dancing the whole night! They succeeded in fulfilling this task. They even went above and beyond by helping my maid of honor with her amazing speech/rap and the performance that I did not know about with my mom and the brides maids. Thank you so much for making my night an amazing one! I do have a piece of advice for brides... please please let your DJ be the DJ and don't provide them with a list of songs they must play. Let them feel the crowd and work their magic (that is why you paid them isn't it?)

    My Husband and I got married this past Friday (7/4/14), and we cannot say enough good things about Parties Alive. They were PHENOMENAL. The dance floor was packed all night, without the MC (Greg) ever being pushy or annoying. The DJ read the crowd and played the right music at the right time, ALL NIGHT! Everyone still keeps calling and messaging me how great the DJ company was and asking who we used. Even before the day of, their customer service was stellar, we booked with Rich the owner, and we loved him, then any questions we sent over to them was quickly answered, no problems. I really truly recommend them to any bride, great service, and an overall great company!

    My wife and I just got married last month and had Parties Alive provide the music along with percussion, saxophone, video montage, live streaming still shots, monogram lighting, white package and photo booth. They are definitely a top notch company and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone getting married. From the minute we met with Rich we felt comfortable and clicked with him. The entire planning process went great....we met with Rich a few times, gave him our song selections, bounced questions and ideas off of him and ended up with the perfect event. We were very particular about certain aspects of the wedding and both Rich and the DJ did a fantastic job of catering to our wants immediately.
    The live percussion and saxophone added a nice live element to the music, and the video montage was fantastic!! Our guests had a blast with the photo booth and the live streaming still shots that were displayed constantly on the screens throughout the wedding were awesome. The DJ played an excellent mix and had the whole place dancing the entire time.
    There was not one single thing that we were unhappy with and I seriously cannot say enough positive things about Parties Alive. Their price was right and their service was even better. We could not have been more pleased.
