great music all night long

Chuck was so great!!! We first heard about Chuck from a few friends of my mom who used him for their kids weddings in the past. He is nice and easy to work with - really a great guy. Communication was easy through phone and emails. He was very helpful with providing song lists to get ideas for first dance, etc. and our dance floor was packed all night! We got many compliments from numerous guests that they had a great time dancing. Would definitely recommend!

Exactly What we Wanted

With very little input from us, Chuck was able to put together a playlist that had everyone dancing. He was very professional and straightforward with us during our initial consultation, which allowed us to make the right choice hiring him. We also hired Chuck's very talented son Jonathan to play acoustic guitar during our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. Jonathan arranged a custom song for our processional. A great father/son team.

Chuck is the best!

Chuck was the DJ for both mine and my sister's weddings. He is great to work with and makes the experience easy. Chuck definitely knows how to read a room and keep the guests on their feet! He was also wonderful with cutting down the songs we wanted for the first dance and father/daughter dance to more reasonable lengths. Chuck also reviewed our playlists on Spotify prior to our wedding to get a good idea of what we like to listen to. His son, Jonathan, did a great job with playing the guitar for our ceremony. We had specific songs that we wanted and he was great about giving us multiple options of how he could play the songs. We also had his pianist, Martin, for our cocktail hour. It was wonderful to listen to the piano and start to bring up the energy level post ceremony and pre reception. I highly recommend having Chuck, Jonathan, and Martin at your event!

Chuck will have you dancing all night!

Chuck was so much fun to work with and to have at our wedding (October 2022). He is very professional, responsive, and accommodating. He has a great energy; I remember feeling uplifted and excited after going over plans with him on the phone in the midst of stressful wedding planning. He came through on his promise to have everyone dancing all night and made some excellent music selections to complement our requested songs. Everyone from our friends in their 20s to our grandparents raved about the music. His team also did a wonderful job with the uplighting, which gave a soft ambiance to the event. Thank you to Chuck and his team for sharing a special night with us.

Amazing! So many compliments from our guests!

Chuck was absolutely amazing! He 1000% understood the assignment and played all of our favorite songs. He was very open to our suggestions and very easy to work with. He gave us great advice on specific song choices which was appreciated. We received so MANY compliments on how great he was. During the ceremony and cocktail his son played beautiful music on his guitar which everyone really enjoyed. At our reception, EVERYONE was on the dance floor all night and having a great time. I was for sure dancing the night the way. He did a great job transitioning English songs to Spanish songs! The uplighting and ambiance was amazing and everyone enjoyed the photobooth! My favorite part was being able to keep a copy of everyone's photo and they were kind enough to put it in an album for us! We highly recommend Chuck! Thank you so much for bringing so much fun to our wedding.

Amazing DJ!

Chuck was absolutely the perfect DJ, we booked him for our NJ wedding and could not have been happier! He was a true professional, the planning process was smooth, and he was always available for a chat or phone call. The day of the wedding everyone RAVED about the music and several people told me they have never been to a wedding with so much dancing! We had an absolute blast and 100% recommend Chuck to anyone looking for a wedding DJ!

Use Chuck for your wedding!

Chuck was so easy to work with and very friendly. He has many calls with us to discuss our ideas and questions. He helped us choreograph the evening with songs, song selections, advice, and opinions. Everything was perfect – Chuck did our ceremony music, cocktail hour, and reception. He was on time, and it was all flawless. The uplighting and ambiance were wonderful, exactly what we asked for. He catered to our interests and requests quite well. Use Chuck for your wedding – he is great and played more actual songs rather than DJ hits/beats/transitions. We loved our music, would use him again, and had no problems nor complaints.

All that we could have hoped for and more!

Chuck was 1000% all we could have hoped for and more in a wedding DJ! He is the consummate pro. He made us feel like we were his most important clients. He was communicative, a great listener, and really did everything he could to make his job all about us. He made the entire day, from the ceremony, to cocktail hour, to the reception, so extra special, and absolutely nailed it every step of the way. A DJ can really make or break the life of the day, especially the reception, setting the tone musically. Chuck is an absolute master at it. He is a master of his craft. We can’t thank him enough for all he did and how he did it. Hire him, you will not regret it. He was without a doubt our favorite and best vendor.

Made our day magical!

If I had to pick one vendor from our wedding day that we would not change, it would have to be our DJ, Chuck Russo. Besides the obvious (playing great tunes throughout the night and keeping our dance floor PACKED), he managed the whole night beautifully (pronouncing names correctly, making announcements we had requested previously, etc.). My advice: We gave Chuck a few "must play" songs, one or two genres we didn't want to hear, and left it at that. Chuck is an experienced professional, so if you give him the freedom & flexibility to do his job -- he will SHINE & knows how to play a room. The phot booth was fantastic as well (we often pull out the album to look at the photos & laugh). Cannot recommend enough...11 out of 10 stars.

Everyone was on the dance floor the whole night thanks to Chuck!

We knew Chuck from my sister and brother in law's wedding and a few other family weddings he worked before we decided to hire him. At every wedding we've been to where Chuck provided the music, the dance floor was never empty! We had to postpone our 2020 wedding due to the pandemic and Chuck made the process of postponing to 2021 easy and stress free for us. Our guests all raved about how wonderful the mix of music was at our wedding and how much fun everyone had dancing all night! The photo booth was another fun thing that Chuck provided for our guests and we got the pictures to keep and look back on for years to come. We highly recommend Chuck to anyone planning a wedding- my sister in law is actually having Chuck at her wedding in October and we're looking forward to another fun night of dancing and music thanks to Chuck!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
