Adam's style is full of energy and creativity!

The music was one of our most important vendors for our wedding and Adam was right on target with our very particular needs. My husband loves jam bands and I love dance music; in addition to that I knew my Filipino side of the family would want a lot of disco from the 70-80s and my husband's family would want to hear more American country. It was incredibly important for us to have our guests dancing the whole night and we really needed someone to help pull it all together. Adam was incredibly receptive to all our needs and we felt that he really listened to us and delivered. One of my bridesmaids recently recounted on how much energy there was on the dance floor and this was largely because of our DJ. He did such an amazing job and would highly recommend him!

Couldn't ask for more!

Adam was extraordinary. He worked so well with us to incorporate unique songs we love while keeping everyone on their feet and having a good time. Super-responsive, flexible, game, and a delightful human. Can't recommend him highly enough!

Truly listens and delivers a personalized experience

My husband and I are in the airport en route to our honeymoon, and we wanted to give Adam the most heartfelt thank you for such an amazing time at our wedding. We have gotten so many compliments about the music selection, and most importantly, we just had so much fun! He really nailed it and we felt that our music tastes were really taken into account and reflected in the party. It couldn't have been better! As one person there commented about the songs in the middle of one of the dance sets "THERE ARE NO DUDS!" :)

Great music all night!

Adam did a great job at DJ-ing our wedding. We were looking for a more traditional DJ approach to our wedding music as opposed to the standard wedding DJ/MC and Adam was very flexible and responsive to all of our requests. We provided some general guidance on themes for the music and Adam ran with it and put together an amazing night for us and our family/friends.

Everyone kept dancing all night and many of our guests commented to us on how much they enjoyed the work he had done.

I highly recommend Adam at Heart Beats for any and all DJing needs..

Brings the vibe and energy for your ultimate celebration

We were so happy to find Adam for our wedding. It was hard to find a wedding DJ that could see our vision, more of a night club vibe with high level mixing, versus the usual wedding DJ. We had some diverse genres we wanted to weave together without feeling disjointed. He really mixed everything in a seamless way, creating a great energy within the party. Would highly recommend if you want everyone out on the dance floor all night!

Wonderful wedding DJ

Adam DJed our fall wedding at the NY botanical gardens and was really such a wonderful find. Adam was recommended by another contact of ours and we are so grateful to have found him. Adam took the time to understand our musical tastes ahead of time, arrived early with all of his equipment and generally helped make our big day really magical and seamless. We loved Adam's tunes and got lots of really wonderful praise from our guests about how great Adam was. We would definitely use Adam again, and are already trying to come up with an excuse to have another party! Oh, and I nearly forgot... Adam also put us in touch with a string quartet who were also fabulous!

100% Totally Recommend!

Adam absolutely crushed it! He managed the ceremony audio as well as the crazy party tunes (and everything in between). Kept the party rocking honestly until the last second... and even played a little encore for us! The dance floor was packed for 5 hours straight!

After a quick, super personable coffee meeting, he really got to know us and customized the playlist to our liking, from classic wedding tunes to bumping reggaeton... he really nailed it.

Great talent. Great communication. Great personality. He just gets it. Totally recommend!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
