Joe Carson Music

Absolute pleasure working with Joe—very experienced professional with great suggestions and highly responsive. Very flexible and accommodating to specific customizable requests made for wedding dance floor music. Could not recommend enough!!!

Joe DJ’d our wedding in June of 2026. He did an absolutely incredible job. He played all the hits we were hoping for and knew exactly when to to play them. He also kept his announcements limited and professional rather than being overly talkative which we greatly appreciated. We can’t recommend him enough!!

Joe was a great DJ for us, and was easy to work with. We had 185 people attend our reception, and he kept the dance floor packed the entire time.

We talked over the phone before booking him, then talked again a few weeks before the wedding. He gave us a worksheet to fill out with information about the venue, timeline, wedding party introductions, dances, and music. We gave him some must-play songs and sent him Spotify playlists with songs that fit our vibe and with songs requested by our guests. Joe also helped us workshop the timing/order of formal dances, which we wanted to switch up from how it's traditionally done.

Joe did a great job as MC during the reception, and then did a fantastic job once the dancing got started. He worked in our must-plays, made some special announcements/callouts that we requested, and chose music that got everyone excited. The sound system was also good, and the volume was perfect. A lot of guests told us they loved the music!

We have absolutely no hesitation recommending Joe as a wedding DJ. Coordinating with him was one of the least stressful parts about the wedding planning, and he helped bring the party to life on the day-of.

Joe is awesome, he's super popular amongst a group of people that I know. I called him really last minute for an event and I totally knew that he was going to be booked. He went well out of his way though to actually go through a network of people that he would recommend and find someone so that I wouldn't have to do it myself, and that I could find someone that he knew would be good. SOoooo above and beyond! He makes sure every detail is taken care of because when you hire Joe, you're hiring the actual owner. And in his previous life he also was an executive so he knows how to work well under pressure and maintain a really high level of professionalism, a level head and can troubleshoot through literally anything! He will be handling details you never even knew were an issue! Thank you Joe!

Joe was very professional and helpful. He kept the party going all night and he was just all around a great addition to have at the wedding - he seems to love what he does! Exactly what you would want from a wedding DJ. Plays what you want but also knows how to get the crowd going

Joe did a fantastic job DJing our recent wedding! We actually found Joe attending a friend's wedding a couple of years back, and thought he was fantastic, so he was one of the first vendors we reached out to when it came time to plan our big day! His blend of live acoustic and DJing provided an awesome variety between our cocktail hour and reception, and he had our dance floor full all night.

Throughout the planning process, Joe was super proactive and responsive to our emails which we really appreciated. All around seamless, excellent experience working with Joe - would recommend him to anyone!

Joe was the perfect DJ for our wedding. The budget was very reasonable for the DJ services and lighting set up. He was super professional and accommodating to our requests and made sure the entire ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing sounded fantastic. Would highly recommend Joe for DJ and live music services!

Joe was an absolute pleasure to work with! His ability to do both acoustic guitar music and DJ services really drew us to him and ultimately made our wedding a huge success - everyone enjoyed the variety! Whether it was the acoustic instrumental songs he played for our ceremony, the acoustic music/singing he then played for our cocktail hour right down to the DJ music which kept the celebration on the dance floor going all night. We highly highly recommend Joe!!

Joe was exceptional. He was highly professional and so good at going with the flow and pivoting when necessary. It was so nice to fully trust and not worry about a DJ vendor because Joe had it all under control. He played from a curated playlist we put together but also put his own spin on things. We appreciated how he had everything in control and not only Dj’ed but sang and played guitar too! The best of all worlds.

I have spent years visiting Joe at various restaurant and bar venues across Greater Boston to listen to his acoustic sets. In the 14 years I've been seeing Joe perform, hiring him twice myself, I can truly say that he is top notch in both his dedication to his work and the quality of his performance.


Recently I was fortunate enough to attend a wedding that Joe was DJing and performing at.

Joe took the time to meet with the couple prior to the wedding day to build a custom set list, ceremony music, acoustic playlist, and party jams. Joe followed up with the wedding party on the day of to confirm various details without needing to text the Bride and Groom.

Joe arrived hours prior to the wedding and set up his equipment, guitar, microphone, and lighting in 3 locations around the venue, in 91 degree heat. He came prepared with the proper equipment for each location-outdoor ceremony, acoustic patio cocktail hours and indoor dinner & reception.

Joe started the ceremony off with a flawless classical DJ set with multiple seamless transitions for the wedding party and the Bride. He controlled the microphone volume for then officiant and vows, and played nice exit music.

During the cocktail hour, Joe played an outdoor acoustic set and everything sounded great. He then transitioned to a 3rd location to DJ the reception with entrance dance music, first dances, dinner ambiance, and party music. The transition between each piece of the evening was flawless, the uplifting was beautiful, and the sound quality was superb.

Me and the 120 guests were blown away by the quality, attention to detail, and flawless execution of the 6 hour event.

10/10 every time, and highly recommend!
