We can’t recommend Joe enough for his entertainment services on our wedding day. I say entertainment services, because that is the only way to summarize his ability to DJ, MC, and play an acoustic set, all in the same evening. We continue to get compliments from our guests on just how well all of it was performed, including everything form the music choices, to the transitions, and the wedding party introductions. We were able to provide a list of songs from all different genres, and Joe did a great job organizing them so that it blended perfectly. We also choose to have him play the guitar and sing during the cocktail hour, which we continue to say was one of the best choices we made for the wedding. This gave a perfect change in tone from the wedding, to the cocktail hour, to the reception. I highly encourage anyone that is interested in hiring Joe for an event, to at least set up a consultation. Joe made us feel comfortable from day one, and that continued all the way up through our wedding. As the event gets closer, you review the timeline, venue layout, song choices, and any other questions that may arise to make you feel at ease. We can’t thank Joe enough, and we will absolutely reach out to him again for any other events we have in the future. Thank you Joe!

Joe was amazing! He listened to what both my husband and I were looking for in a wedding DJ and absolutely nailed it! My husband and I have very different families so we were worried about finding a balance to entertain both sides and Joe got it completely right. The dance floor was full the entire night! And while it may not be something that people feel too strongly about, but he was not the DJ who jumped on the microphone every 5 minutes- (I once attended a wedding where the DJ actually sang along with most of the songs!) He kept us on schedule, paid attention to detail, and I’d recommend him over and over and over again!

My husband and I loved working with Joe for our wedding! He was able to accommodate all requests we had and put everything together in a really cohesive way that our guests loved! He had people up and dancing all night and was even able to work in some last minute surprises! 100% would recommend Joe to anyone looking for entertainment for their event!

Joe Jr and Joe Sr were so much fun to work with! We had a wedding with both a DJ and a live cultural band (Greek) and Joe Jr seamlessly transitioned between the two groups playing music so the music never stopped (one of my biggest concerns was for a “quiet lull” between them)! I appreciated their willingness to work with other musicians and to highlight the varying cultures of our group. The dance floor was always full when Joe was playing too! He kept the party going for sure and played all my dinner time requests (ie an instrumental version of Beauty and the Beast, even making Vance Joy and Louis Armstrong seem like they were made for each other!)

Joe is an experienced, professional, and thoughtful DJ! My wife and I first learned about Joe through our wedding coordinator, and we wanted to book him initially because he had experience with our venue, Gramercy Mansion. We got the Emerald Package because we wanted to have music and a microphone during our ceremony.

The first thing that we loved about having Joe as our DJ was that we got to meet with him twice before our wedding—first, to meet and give a vision for our wedding after booking with him, and for a second time a few weeks before our wedding to solidify specific songs as well as general genres, artists, and “vibes” that helped Joe know what to play during the ceremony and reception. We trusted Joe to find songs that fit our vision, and he delivered perfectly! He found remixes of Taylor Swift songs to make them more upbeat/dance, and he played the exact songs with great audio quality as we walked down the aisle for the ceremony. The equipment that Joe used was great—the music had clarity and projection but wasn’t too loud for guests who wanted to talk rather than dance during the reception. He also provided microphones during dinner, which made it a lot easier for everyone in the room to hear speeches.

We would highly recommend Joe to anyone looking for a DJ for an event because he was perfect for our wedding. He came early and had everything set up in advance, got all the audio right throughout each part of the wedding, and was such a kind and friendly person to speak with before, during, and at the end of the wedding! Since one of our vendors was neither professional nor prompt, it helped us appreciate even more how Joe did everything right as a vendor. Please consider him for your event!

Joe was the best! Made sure everything was perfect. He knows how to read a crowd and when to play the right songs. Joe absolutely killed it! We had tons of people come up to myself and my bride to say how great the DJ was during the wedding. Highly recommend Joe for anyone looking for the right DJ!

Hughes Entertainment made our wedding the most fun dance party we have ever been to! Joe and his father were so organized and responsive throughout the whole planning process and our day went perfectly because of them. Joe has a keen sense of when to play which types of music to keep a diverse crowd entertained. So many of our guests have told us they have never seen so many people having fun on the dance floor at a wedding. I can’t recommend Joe and his dad enough. They listened to us and made our day perfect!

Hiring Hughes Entertainment was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! Joe and Joe Sr were immediately very responsive and set up a zoom call to discuss what my husband and I were looking for in terms of music, vibe, and basically every musical detail of the the day! Joe played acoustic for us during cocktail hour which was amazing and everyone loved it!! He even whipped out his guitar when the last song came on. That is something I’ll never forget and one of my favorite memories of the night. Music is a huge part of a wedding, and these guys truly listen to what you want and picture on your wedding day. We loved Hughes Entertainment!!

AMAZING!! Everything was executed perfectly. From the processional song, cocktail hour special requests to the different genres of music that we requested for the reception. Absolutely Amazing. Truly cannot thank them enough for making our special day even that more special. Highly recommend Joe Hughes for anyone’s special day.
Thank you.

Joe Jr. and Joe Sr. made our day a dream come true. They fulfilled every want and desire of ours without hesitation. We even had a last minute ask to lightly "roast" our wedding party during the reception intros, and Joe Jr. executed it perfectly! Our friends and family enjoyed the array of music picked and the dance floor was full the entire night...noone wanted it to end! They were so supportive and amazing to work with...we can't thank them enough!
