Endorsements
"We love Good Note DJ's. They are incredibly talented, professional and fun to work with. They are wonderful at getting a reception going while being relaxed, low key and easy to work with. Every event we have worked with Good Note DJ's on has been a seamlessly run event. A fabulous DJ makes all of the difference in the world! "
"Very lively DJ, wonderful attitude. Great with Names and making sure the clients get what they want in their reception music. Would certainly recommend."
"Steve Hoffman's quality is visible the minute you walk into your reception venue. I've seen other DJs using some ratty old speakers putting out distorted sound. Steve has some beautiful, costly, and top quality Bose L1 systems that mirror the excellence of his other electronics. Like his electronics, he goes out of his way to personalize your party, including talking to you about how you met and fell in love, so he can relay this at the reception. Special musical requests don't phase him. He'll find the song versions you want for the special dances. And through it all, he maintains his professionalism, his sense of humor, and his great cooperation with other vendors. He makes all of our jobs easier!"
"Steve Hoffman is one of the best DJs I have seen in action at numerous DC events over many years. He has the latest, streamlined equipment that makes his setup quite unobtrusive comparatively and he always wears a tux, MCs events tastefully, has an enormous breadth of music available to his clients and is friendly to boot! He also makes a concerted effort to update all the other vendors on changes to the timeline, helping us to be sure to be in place to capture any last-minute speeches, toasts or special dances that aren't otherwise on the schedule. I highly recommend him to any bride looking for a high-end, quality DJ!"
"Steve Hoffman has a sophisticated sound system and a cool, New York look and sound. He takes pride in his music selections and keeps the bride's guests dancing! We enjoy working with him. "

Steve Hoffman at Good Note DJs was an absolute pleasure to work with. He met with us several times prior to the wedding to hash out the details of the reception and make song suggestions. Steve was always prompt with responses to our questions, and I felt comfortable on the days leading up to the wedding that he would do a great job. His services on our wedding day were wonderful; he was professional and kept everything running smoothly. Highly recommended!

Steve is professional and efficient. He did a fabulous job as a DJ at our wedding this past weekend. I would hire him again. It is definitely worthwhile to spend the extra money for his services.

We recently used Steve as our wedding dj at a historic mansion in southern Maryland. We've heard nothing but compliments over the past week about how great the music was, how cool and collective he was and how he was the perfect DJ -- not too talky, with a great mix of music and a classy vibe. We were THRILLED with hid performance and absolutely loved the intro he read to the crowd for us prior to our first dance. It was romantic and true! Everyone is singing his praises. We couldn't have had such an organized, perfectly timed wedding without him. From our first meeting until the very last moment of our reception, Steve was a true professional! My husband said the cost was completely justified -- the quality of his services is impeccable and he's so responsive!! We are so pleased with our choice and would recommend Steve Hoffman of Good Note to anyone :)

We were very pleased with the DJ services Steve Hoffman (Good Note DJ) provided for our wedding. Our guest are still talking about the wedding and how great a job Steve did with the ceremony music and the music for the reception. They also enjoyed the way Steve personalized the wedding reception by reading the about how Steve and I met. Steve is a true profession and he takes the time to listen to the desires of the bride and groom. He will also help you if you are having trouble selecting music for the wedding ceremony and reception.

I cannot say enough good things about Steve Hoffman. He took our vague ideas about the kind of music we wanted, and added his expertise and creativity to come up with music for both the ceremony and reception. He listened to everything we said and made helpful suggestions, and he made our vision come true into a beautiful wedding. Our entrance music was fun, classy, and perfect. The cocktail music was ideal--fun without being at all intrusive. And the dancing music at the reception? The dance floor was NEVER empty. If we didn't have a time limit for the reception hall, I think people would have stayed and danced all night. Many of the guest have commented to me since then that this was the most fun they've ever had at a wedding, and Steve was a huge part of that.

Steve was great all around. He was very proactive in meeting with us and would always respond to emails or phone calls the same day. He had a great feel for the pulse of our reception and tailored the music accordingly.

He helped out a bunch beyond just being our DJ as well, offering advice on venues, timelines, transportation, and a number of other areas. He is certainly more than a DJ and will be as helpful and involved as you want him to be.

Would recommend with the highest of accolaids!

I had a very specific idea in mind for my wedding and the music was either going to make or break my entire theme. Steve helped me develop the song list and had a natural sense or intuition of what to play. It complemented my wedding extremely well and the guests really had a great time. His service and level of professionalism was exceptional. I was very pleased! You can't go wrong with Steve Hoffman. I would recommend Steve without reservation.

I cannot recommend Steve Hoffman highly enough. He met with us several times before the wedding to help plan the flow and organization of the ceremony and reception. He knew what would work and what would not. We gave him the idea of what we were looking for and he came back with the perfect compilations of music for each part of the evening. It set just the atmosphere that we were looking for.

Family, friends, the reception hall manager and even the caterer commented on how good the music was. The dance floor was full all night. He even suggested the song I walked down the aisle to, it fit our personalities and the mood of the wedding.

Goodnote is worth every penny. You will be getting much, much more than a few hours of music.

Steve was outstanding to work with from the beginning. He is extremely responsive, and he knows his stuff! For weddings, he is the perfect DJ. He took our suggestions to heart, and had great advice to offer as well. We met in person a few times to make sure everything was set in advance, and all the planning made the music for the day of our wedding just what we wanted with no worries at all. I would highly recommend him!!

Steve Hoffman is a superb DJ and I highly recommend him. He is a consummate professional and really takes the time to make your wedding special. He isn't cheesy or silly and he makes sure that YOU are happy with the musical selections. He met with us several times to plan the entire evening out and coordinating all of the details until everyone was satisfied. Steve's attention to detail impressed me and I knew that if there was one thing I didn't have to worry about, it was the music.
