Through ongoing training to be the best in our field, to using special transitions to make your wedding flow as smoothly as possible, we guarantee that your wedding will be like no other that you, or your guests, have ever attended.

You are unique - let your day reflect you, and break away from the norm.

Let's talk. Let's plan. Let's amaze your guests.

The best!

DJ Chris was so much fun to work with! From the initial consultation phone call, to our actual wedding day, Chris took the time to get to know us, our music tastes, and what we envisioned for our wedding. You can really tell that he feels genuine happiness and excitement for the couples he works with, and wants to provide the best possible experience! His online portal website makes the planning process incredibly easy, as it can be accessed anytime, anywhere. Chris was there to provide suggestions and fun ideas as well. In my opinion, Chris has DJing down to a science. He knows exactly how to build up the music to create the most energetic and fun dance floor and get people excited, and he DEFINITELY knows how to read the crowd!! When he could see/hear our guests getting really into a song, he followed up with another hit. At the end of our wedding, we had multiple friends come up to us to tell us how much they loved the music playlist! I cannot recommend Chris enough for all musical/DJ needs!

Excellent DJ Experience

We hired Chris for a wedding at the Parkway Library in Philadelphia and he was, in short, excellent. Prior to our wedding, he was quite professional, and was very efficient during meetings we had with us. Our main prep meeting took place only a few weeks before our wedding, which was great for us because we were very busy leading up to our wedding and did not have much time in the months prior to pay much attention to music. On the day of, Chris and his team did a great job from a technical perspective. From getting the volume level right for the ceremony (indoors in a large hall), to the speeches, to making sure the music sounded great (outdoors under a tent), Chris and his team crushed it and made everything really seamless and easy for us.

And Chris brought great energy to the dancefloor. I have to admit that I was just a bit skeptical about the claim on his website about being really, really good at reading crowds (it sounds like something every DJ says), but Chris truly backed that claim up. The music choices were perfect for our group (a really nice combination of songs we specifically asked for and others that he came up with) and the transitions were excellent and pretty much always at exactly the right time. He did not speak too much, but when he did, it was effective and impactful. All of our friends had a great time and we got to see several older family members on the dancefloor that we had never seen dance before. And, although I know Chris does a lot of weddings, he truly made us feel like ours was special. Overall, I would highly recommend Chris and his team.

Guests said we had the best music they'd ever heard at a wedding!

If you want INCREDIBLY fun, personalized, thoughtful and absolutely energetic music at your wedding, book Marx Event Group ASAP!!!! Chris kept our friends and family dancing all night, and guests kept coming up to us during the party and afterwards to say that we had the best music they'd ever heard at a wedding. He went above and beyond, even accommodating last-minute additions from Taylor Swift's brand new "Midnights" album and a surprise mother-daughter dance to Carole King's "Where You Lead" that multiple people have texted me about in the days since our wedding. Seriously, book Chris ASAP - he's kind, accommodating and an all-around great guy to have involved in your wedding. Thank you, Chris!

Above and beyond all expectations

Chris was amazing and we couldn't have asked for a better DJ/sound technician/all-around all-star. He made the sound coordination with all our vendors incredibly seamless from the ceremony, to the cocktail hour, to the reception. Chris was also very accommodating, going out of his way to make a "mash-up" for the father-daughter dance. For the reception, we gave him two or three "must's" and a general feel of what we were looking for, and otherwise told him he had free reign of the dance floor. Chris provided an absolutely electric environment, which had everyone dancing the entire night. We had multiple soon-to-be married couples come up to us afterwards asking for his information because he was the best DJ they ever experienced at a wedding.

All our guests loved Ron!

After being to many a wedding prior to our own, we always said all we needed to make our day great was good food and good music, and Marx Event Group was everything we could have asked for in a DJ. We spoke to Chris a few times in the planning process, he understood our “vibe” right off the bat and made it clear he and his team were happy to make the day whatever we wanted. He was very responsive to questions and made himself available to us at any time. We were able to meet with Chris and Ron over Zoom prior to the wedding day to talk through the full timeline, which really helped put us at ease. On the wedding day, Ron crushed it. He made a last-minute suggestion to change up where we did our first dance and speeches – we loved it – and so many of our guests commented on how great it was (as though it had been planned all along). And he had our guests dancing and singing along the whole night. Everyone was on the dance floor. In the weeks after the wedding, people have specifically said how much they loved our DJ. Thank you to Ron and Chris for making the process so easy and for doing your job so well that we didn’t have to worry about a thing!

Amazing!!!

Chris Marx was an absolute joy to work with! He was extremely attentive, caring, fun, and knew exactly what he was doing. Chris was able to create and hold the different moods we were trying to achieve throughout different parts of our wedding. His overall knowledge of his trade made it very easy to plan the soundtrack of our wedding. Even after all of the planning Chris was able to make quick decisions during the wedding to make everything run smoothly. Overall Chris was the best DJ we could have chosen for our wedding and really made our wedding wonderful.
