James was the perfect choice for our micro-wedding in NYC at Gelso & Grand. We travelled from the UK in September to get married. We had to find someone online and James’ name kept popping up on reddit when searching for the ‘best NYC DJs’. It was 100% the correct decision for us and we can confirm reddit is correct, he absolutely nailed it. He read the room incredibly well, and kept all our friends dancing.

From our very first call, he was professional, super easy to work with and we felt we could put our trust in him to deliver a great night with all the experience he has. He’s got great energy, and just an all round lovely guy that understood our intimate wedding.

We was provided with a worksheet that allowed us to fill out all the details so he had an understanding of everything beyond the music, we actually gave him three different playlists for dinner, cocktails and a dance party and it was perfect how he delivered on our suggestions. I was personally impressed with the way he kept things moving so we could crack on with food and dancing.

To top it off, he provided recordings of our three playlists and our speeches, legend.

I highly recommend him and f you’re reading this and on the fence. Go with James, you will not regret it.

We hired James for our wedding at Gather Greene and can't say enough about his skill, professionalism, and how wonderful it was to work with him. He is so good at what he does. As many others here have said, he read the room perfectly and several of our guests noted how every song was a banger and at the exact right time. We also had a specific request for Jewish music at the start of the wedding, and he connected us to a band who fit the bill perfectly. James worked with them seamlessly to transition from live music to DJ elements. He also provided sound and microphones for the outdoor ceremony which did not have electric hookups. He had several calls with us to make sure that every step of the wedding met our vision, and he was incredibly knowledgeable, flexible, and receptive in all of our conversations. The music is the heartbeat of a wedding and James really nailed it. Don't hesitate to hire him!!

If you are looking for a great wedding DJ, you have to hire James. He completely nailed the music for our July 4th wedding. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the perfect cocktail hour and dinner vibes, and the dance floor was incredible. What we appreciated most was his flexibility; he seamlessly blended our different music vibes and effortlessly handled our many requests, including a spontaneous mid-wedding singalong with a mic and everything. James also MC’d our event and kept us and our guests at ease as we transitioned through toasts and dinner. I had the time of my life on the dance floor. Highly recommend hiring James!

If you are choosing a DJ...GO WITH JAMES!!! Even a year later, our family and friends can’t stop talking about how great the DJ was and how he kept the vibe going the whole night! James was the absolute best and so easy to work with. He is very talented, detail-oriented, and his communication is as good as it gets. He worked closely with us on the flow of the evening, and he is so experienced and smooth in his approach that we had the utmost trust and faith in him and he absolutely delivered! He read the room from start to finish and had the dance floor going all night. You will not be disappointed – he’s the best!

We have nothing but good things to say about our experience working with James for our wedding. James is a true pro who clearly cares deeply about the craft of DJing weddings specifically – which entails so much more than just crafting a great dance set, though he's highly skilled at that part, too. Among other things, my wife and I really appreciated how he struck a balance between honoring our preferences (even our most eccentric requests, like playing a specific remix from a random Boiler Room set) and guiding us based on his experience (e.g., encouraging us to make sure we had enough music to appeal to our older guests). We're so glad we had James on our side through our whole wedding, from ceremony to last song!

James was out-of-this world great as our DJ for our wedding at the Bowery Hotel! From our very first zoom meeting, James was such a pleasure to work with; all the way through to my wife and I's first dance, we couldn't be happier. His music taste is impeccable, he is a total pro at collaborating with other vendors, and exploring how to include your favorite music in your event was a blast. Most importantly for us, James set the tone for the evening as an MC in a way I am truly grateful for. I cannot recommend him highly enough — if you book James for your event, you'll be in the best hands.

James was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding, and we'd heard the same from everyone we spoke to beforehand. He has a genuine gift for reading a room and shifting the energy exactly when it needs to, and he understood what we wanted for every part of the night. We built playlists and sent them over, and he helped us rearrange and refine them once he understood the vibe we were going for in each moment. He was generous with planning conversations whenever we asked, helped us coordinate our timeline after we presented it, and made sure our ceremony was everything we ever dreamed of! He handled all the major moments: ceremony, first dance, parent dances, and every transition in between. He provided full sound setup, mics, and speakers for the ceremony, and for cocktail hour at the hotel's lobby bar he supplied an iPad to run our playlist. He did the right amount of letting the music speak for itself, but when he did speak and MC, he brought real energy every time with exactly what we wanted.

What set James apart from other DJs was his wide range of music. We had a multicultural celebration, and he moved seamlessly between English, Arabic, Hungarian, and Spanish songs so that there was something for everyone. He coordinated with our Middle Eastern dance troupe / drummers. He is clearly knowledgeable about every genre and cultural element we threw at him, and you can tell he loves what he does. Our dance floor was full all night. We can't recommend him enough for a wedding or any event where you need someone who will deliver an amazing music experience.

We are so thrilled that James was our wedding DJ! He could not have done better. He was incredibly thorough and communicative leading up to our wedding so we had no doubts or stress on the day. James made very clear and helpful announcements when needed, and most importantly, multiple guests have told us that the music was the best they've ever had at a wedding! James had the perfect mix of older and younger songs to get everyone on the dance floor at different points in the reception, and we had many dancers going all night. He is truly the best!

James was the perfect DJ for our April wedding at the Wythe Hotel. From the start, he took the time to meet with us multiple times to really understand the exact vibe we wanted for every part of the day—from pre-ceremony and the ceremony itself to cocktail hour, dinner, and the dance floor.

He absolutely nailed every moment. Not only did he deliver an amazing soundtrack throughout the night, but he was also an incredible MC who helped keep everything organized, on schedule, and running smoothly.

One of the biggest highlights was the dance floor. We’ve all been to weddings where getting people up and dancing feels impossible, but James had our friends and family on the dance floor for most of the night. He read the room perfectly and kept the energy up while still making the music feel true to us. He also worked in some of our more unique song requests seamlessly, which made the playlist feel even more personal.

If you’re looking for a wedding DJ who is talented, organized, easy to work with, and truly tailors the music to your style, James is an amazing choice. As an added bonus, he even went above and beyond his DJ duties by giving us honeymoon recommendations—just the cherry on top of an already fantastic experience.

Hiring James as our DJ was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! We booked James as one of our first vendors after seeing amazing reviews online and are SO happy we did so. His well-organized wedding music worksheet was a perfect way for us to track our thoughts on cocktail hour/dinner/dancing songs as well as ceremony music/first dance songs over the course of our engagement, and we loved that we had a living document to make edits to over the months.

On the day of, James truly created the playlist of our dreams – our wedding guests are still raving over how good the dance floor was. He did a phenomenal job of adjusting the music vibe to fit the energy on the dance floor, moving seamlessly between new pop, mid-2010s pop, country, pop punk, alternative, and classics (just as we had hoped!). He was great about being flexible and running with changes to the day of schedule – he was able to accommodate a last-minute request after I realized that I wanted my processional song to start slightly later after doing the ceremony rehearsal, and was able to shift gears after speeches ran long and we had less time for a dance set. We also gave him “DJ’s choice” for the last song, and he absolutely killed it. Cannot recommend him enough if you want guests to be on the dance floor all night long!
