Steve with Good Note DJ was absolutely wonderful! I would highly recommend him. Very professional, thorough, attentive and insightful. We had a wonderful time at our wedding, and everyone had a great time and danced the night away!

Our experience with Steve as our wedding DJ was tremendous! From the first meeting to follow up emails and phone conversations to the big day, Steve was professional, organized and highly responsive. His business is well-established, and he took the time and energy necessary to give us individual attention. I honestly felt like we were the only clients on his plate in our wedding planning experience! (Of COURSE that wasn't true, he is quite popular!) Steve manages to find this wonderful balance between your musical choices and what he thinks a crowd would want to get moving. He also is terrific at keeping a nice pace for the evening, and being very IN ADVANCE about extensions and his expectation for knowing the plans of the bride and groom. As an organization freak, I really appreciated his clarity. We would hire Steve again in a heartbeat, and have already given his information to friends. Check his availability and book now! He might not be the cheapest gig in town, but it's because his service won't cheapen your wedding reception! Worth every penny. Happy planning...

We used Good Note DJ for our wedding and it was great! We met with Steve twice before the wedding to go over what we like, don't like, and listen to his valuble suggestions. The event went perfect and the music was great! Steve really took all our suggestions and it was great to hear the music we love during our event. I would highy recommend Good Note to anyone!

We hired Steve for out October 2011 wedding reception. The wedding was small and was held in an indoor/outdoor pavilion. We were initially turned on to Good Note DJs by the several positive reviews on various wedding websites and the wealth of information on his own website. Our only apprehension with getting a DJ was that our wedding was small and the challenges with getting at least one side of the family to dance. Once we contacted Steve, he sent us plenty of information and helpful direction to make this part of the wedding process easy to plan. We met Steve to discuss our desires and thoughts on the reception. Steve was very easy to work with in planning the reception. He covered all the bases, even when we forgot a few things. We didn’t have many specific requests, but we did ask to incorporate a game and some crowd interaction into our reception. Steve was very receptive to this and worked it in perfectly. On the day of the wedding, Steve showed up well in advance and was ready to go. Steve was professional, fun, and helpful on a day where we were running around with a mind full of excitement. Everything we asked of Steve, he did it, and more. The game we suggested went off without a problem and our interaction with our guests (with his microphones) was a lot of fun (despite the groom’s inability to use a mic properly). But the most important thing was that our gests had a GREAT TIME. His selection of music and when to play that music was excellent. It was all about the music and people having a good time, not about him or to talky. All of our worries about people not dancing were unfounded; the dance floor never seemed to be dead. Steve was bombarded with requests and did a great job of balancing requests with the music types that we suggested to him prior to the wedding. He was prepared for anything. Thank you Steve. I highly recommend Steve with Good Note DJs to anyone with any type of event.

Steve Hoffman went above and beyond our expectations for DJ services for our September wedding on Maryland's Eastern Shore! We feel blessed to have had excellent wedding vendors across the board for our event, but of all of them, Steve was the most organized. He responds promptly to questions and always has good suggestions when needed. His flexibility was much appreciated and he went to great lengths to fullfill our particular needs. He is pleasant and fun to work with, his prices are very reasonable, and he is always professional. On the day before our wedding, Steve noted that one of the street signs on the route to our wedding site was down and was concerned that guests might get lost on their way to the rural bed and breakfast where our wedding was to be held. Without any prompting, he went to a craft store, hand made a new sign, and drove out to the intersection to post it. I only found this out from my aunt and uncle a few days after the wedding, but I mention it because it sums up how Steve really treated us like family. He is terrific, and if he is available for your wedding weekend, we absolutely recommend him!

We hired Steve from Good Note DJs off of a referral from our amazing photographers (Ever After Visuals). I was pretty lost when looking for a DJ and after reading a million Wedding Wire reviews thought it might be smart to ask someone who attends weddings all the time if they knew someone who had stuck out in their minds as a great vendor. Mindy, our photographer, mentioned that she had worked with a DJ on a wedding that mixed two different cultures and she could tell that the DJ had put a lot of time and thought into planning how he would mesh the two together – she added that there was a great mix of people on the dance floor all night. I called him right after speaking with Mindy and was told that he had another couple that had inquired about our date, but hadn’t signed a contract yet. We met at a central location that evening and after spending about an hour with Steve, my fiancé and I decided that he would put lots of time and effort into insuring that our event went exactly how we wanted and sent in our deposit the next day.

I work in the hospitality industry, and I know how rare it is to find a vendor who really cares about the quality of their work enough to have meetings (we had 2 that lasted over an hour), send e-mails, and make numerous phone calls to ensure that his part of our celebration was the best that it could possibly be. His equipment was small but powerful (one of my biggest requirements was nice looking equipment to avoid big black box speakers in every one of our reception pictures) and was all but hidden during the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. We provided some CDs for him to use to make sure that we had the correct arrangements that we wanted for our ceremony and he was quick to return them after our event. He even noticed that on one of the CDs there seemed to be a lot of music that would work for the feel we had talked about for our cocktail hour and asked if it had any special meaning. I told him that my dad had made the CD of his favorite songs and it would be a great touch if he could incorporate them. He did, and even came to find me during our event to make sure I found my dad before he started playing the special songs. What a great touch!

One of the best parts of our wedding was the personalized introductions Steve did for our bridal party. It was Steve’s idea, and my fiancé and I ran with it. We wrote a little personal blurb about each one of our attendants and it was a complete shock to them when he said their name and read not only some facts about them, but some of our inside jokes as well. I still get comments about the looks on our best friend’s faces – priceless!

Overall, Steve did a great job! It is obvious how much he cares about his profession and the job that he does for people on one of the most special days of their life. His price was lower than I was expecting compared to others and he is definitely a choice we never second guessed.

Steve is the most organized person I’ve ever met. I never had to worry about making sure that everything was taken care of because he was on top of everything. He works with a ton of brides but will treat you like you are his only client. He will sit down one on one with you and come up with a concrete timeline for your whole day. It definitely helped relieve some of the stress during the planning process. He works super hard to make sure that your day is exactly what you want. Plus, he will put personal touches to your day that you won’t get with any other DJ. During the reception, he played exactly what I wanted and the music compilation that he selected was exactly what I had envisioned. The dance floor was packed the whole entire night! I highly recommend Steve if you are looking to hire the best DJ for your wedding. I loved working with him!

Steve is fantastic. He is much more than what you may think of as a DJ, and he will do much more than show up and play some songs you selected. Steve will think about your event and ways to make sure everything runs smoothly, from the readings to the first dance to the end of the party when people are tired but still want to move. He will take your music preferences and create an event that has everyone dancing, from the young to the old. We've gotten numerous compliments on what great music we had at our wedding, and Steve is the one to thank.

If you want a stress-free wedding, Steve is one of the best vendors to work with. He is so organized that while planning your music, you will find yourself pulling together your whole wedding timeline and making key decisions about all aspects of your wedding. Steve has the experience necessary to make your wedding music flawless. He plans so well in advance that he is prepared to handle anything that comes up at the last minute. He is also an excellent communicator. We were thrilled with our decision to use Good Note DJs for our wedding, and our guests were happy too! We can tell by the photos of everyone dancing with smiles from ear to ear.

Fabulous service! Steve was amazing to work with. He is very detailed oriented and helped me plan every minute of the wedding. We got married in a unique venue that had acoustic problems, but Steve had done his research and offered solutions to get the best sound at the venue. We also wanted different genres of music, to include latin music, and Steve was very well versed in each genre and was more than willing to download any music he didn't have. He was really good at keeping the dance floor alive! I would definitely recommend him!

We loved Steve! We interviewed a number of DJ's but Steve definitely was above them all! He is extremely knowledgable, professional, and fun! We were worried (being an older bride and groom) that we would have modern music that we didn't recognize all night but Steve balanced the new and the old so everyone had a great time. He even noticed I had missed my favorite song so he played it again! Thank you Steve, for the perfect music for our wedding!

Steve was wonderful to work with. He is very thorough with phone calls, emails, follow-ups after meetings, and gives you peace of mind with his organization and detailed plans. He has great ideas to make the day special! We had a small wedding party and he suggested we write something about each person as they were announced into the wedding reception. Everyone seemed to really enjoy that moment!
The music at both the ceremony and reception were great and exactly what we wanted. Everyone had such a great time at our wedding and I know the music was apart of that reason!

Steve was fantastic from the beginning. He is incredibly detail oriented. At first, the level of detail he asked from us in the planning stages was a bit much, but as the wedding day came, it became clear why. Steve paid close attention to our tastes and was able to perfectly match both his own style and the musical selections to the tastes of our guests. We also had a number of little things to deal with given out New Year's Eve wedding, and Steve was well prepared to deal with any contingencies. Wherever we did not give very specific musical selections, Steve managed to put together a playlist that worked perfectly for the night, with the dance floor never emptying out (and people spilling out well past the edges of the floor dancing). He was also able to react quickly to some of our last minute changes.

Steve was the DJ and MC at my daughter and son-in-law's wedding in Dec. at the Key Bridge Marriott. Steve's services are very reasonably priced. He's an incredible professional and has a commanding knowledge of music. He is dedicated to personalizing the reception and provides a long list of music selections and options. He met with us initially and closer to the wedding to finalize things including introductions of the wedding party and helped time all the major reception events. He was very flexible the entire evening with anything we wanted. The reception was a huge success and the complete dance party that we wanted. My son-in-law is a musician and he and his groomsmen played for and serenaded the bride. Steve was very willing to make that happen and he supported and helped the band with equipment, timing, etc.
I would HIGHLY recommend Steve since he was a VIP in making my daughter's reception flow well and our guests continue to rave about it!

My wife and I are music snobs. I am an audiophile and she has a Masters in Musical Theatre. Steve was the first DJ we interviewed and we decided almost immediately on him. His catalog and knowledge went far beyond the dance floor standards I expected into the obscure indie tracks I wanted and anachronistic Broadway hits my wife was looking for. He has a sleek equipment setup that is unobtrusive, but does not skimp on sound. Our reception was at a high-end location which generally only has live musicians, but Steve was able to maintain an elegant atmosphere that made having a DJ seem like the conscious choice it was rather than a compromise. Most importantly, his delivery and personality were spectacular. Not overwhelming, but not flat. And he knew how to work in all of our unusual song choices in a way that kept everyone happy and everyone dancing. I'll hire him for my next wedding too! OWW! (My wife just hit me.)

We had a tricky venue to work with and Steve did an incredible job getting the sound to work in all of the rooms and incorporating all of the special requests we wanted to make our night what it turned out to be! His advance work was phenomenal and he made himself very available to us - plus, you can't beat his price for the quality of service you are getting!
