The greatest decision

We hired DJ Tumi through Meritage for our wedding and it was the best decision we could have made. We had one ask for Andrew: a packed dancefloor and high energy all night and he delivered. People were on the dance floor from the time it opened until the last possible second. Andrew took our music preferences and asks to heart and he delivered a set that was uniquely us. He was not just clicking through a playlist, rather playing mixes and mashups that kept people on their feet. People are still talking about the music - and countless people told us that our DJ was fantastic. This was the greatest decision we could have made for the fun, upbeat wedding we wanted. Thank you, Andrew!!!

Meritage was easy and seamless to work with from the time we started getting quotes through delivering on our wedding day. We used them for uplighting, ceremony sound, cocktail hour music, and reception. Everything was perfect.

Fantastic DJ Experience

Evan was a fantastic DJ for our 5 year anniversary party! He was responsive, listened to and turned our ideas into a great playlist, and made sure that the dance floor was bumping all night - would highly recommend Meritage and Evan in particular for any DJ needs!

Nico rocks

Nico was amazing! We're huge believer's that the DJ makes the wedding and can turn it from a fun wedding to the best wedding you've ever been to.

Nico helped make our wedding the best wedding. 10/10 would recommend and was very happy with both Meritage and Nico!

Best dj ever!

My husband and I hired Meritage DJ for our wedding and it was such an easy decision. We wanted a team that had experience and would help us with our vision for the day. We wanted our cocktail hour and dinner to have a certain vibe that fit the venue with some old timey swing and jazz music and then our time on the dance floor would bring the party. I heard so many compliments from our guests about how much they loved the music selection during cocktail hour. It made us happy to hear how much our guests were enjoying it too. We hired Evan as our DJ. He did a fantastic job from start to finish. He made introductions, announcements, and speeches a breeze. The volume of the music was also perfect. I have been to some weddings where DJs are not aware it seems of truly how unenjoyable a night can become when you can’t hear anyone speak (even when they are screaming in your ear). This was NOT the case with Meritage DJ. They are professionals and experts in every sense of the word. They can really read the room and they know that a wedding isn’t a rave (unless of course you want it to be - then I’m sure they could accommodate).

We had happy guests the whole night! And my husband and I were also incredibly happy. I’d pick Meritage DJ again in a heartbeat. We had an absolutely wonderful experience with them! They are so on top of it all!

The Perfect Night with DJ Tumi!!

Andrew (DJ Tumi) was an absolutely amazing DJ for our wedding. We couldn’t have asked for anyone better! He knew how to keep people on the dance floor all night long from our grandparents to our college friends. Everyone was raving about how the music was perfect all night long. We will be recommending him to everyone we know!

& we dance all night to the BEST SONGS EVER

Rob was the BEST! Our dance floor was full the entire night and he had the most perfect playlist customized to us. He didn’t just play the hits-he took the time to get to know us and our story and made our night unforgettable. We will be forever grateful to him for creating the energy and narrative of the best night of our lives!

Best DJ Ever!!

Cam with Meritage was literally the best DJ ever and I’m so thankful I trusted him! He just knew the vibe of the reception and crowd at all times and no one left the dance floor all night. The transitions from different songs/genres to the next were unreal and flowed seamlessly. He knew exactly what to play and when and had such a great mix of songs with little guidance given. What I really loved was that he went outside of the traditional practice of always playing a slow song which tends to get people off the dance floor. We skipped that and it was the best; just happy good vibes all night. We are still getting compliments about how amazing our DJ was. Cannot recommend him enough! 12/10

DJ Michael Lentz crushed it!

We hired DJ Michael Lentz to DJ/MC our wedding back in September and we absolutely could not be happier with his work. We wanted a packed dancefloor all night and he did not disappoint. Michael was a consummate professional, a pleasure to plan the night with, and really brought his artistry to his DJ set, which not only kept our dancefloor packed, but also had people asking who we hired to do it.

Michael incorporated each song we felt was a "must have" with the genres we loved in such a way that we could tell he (a) cared about our choices (b) knew his stuff and (c) took pleasure in his work. He even played some stuff we forgot we wanted on there. The songs got people out there and flowed so effortlessly into one another (across genres and language barriers alike) that no one wanted to leave the floor. Michael made transitions through big band, 2000s pop, Spanish language pop, hyphy music, emo, and dirty south rap feel effortless and exciting. That's money well spent!

Plus, he was totally professional when the night threw a slight curveball (a family member who wanted to "say a few words" outside the scheduled speakers). Michael correctly sensed that grandpa has a bit of a penchant for saying exactly the wrong thing at the wrong time, and he was cool, calm, and collected as he looked to us for guidance on whether or not to let it happen. He let grandpa have his moment, but looked to us for direction as he kept his fingers on the mic volume and the play button just in case things got out of hand (they did not!)

Meritage was also excellent to interact with on the back end. We felt totally taken care of. The sample DJ sets on their website were incredibly helpful to figure out what each DJ was into and where their specialties lay. We felt that both Michael's and Evan Healey's sets in particular were where we wanted to be musically, and Michael happened to be the one available on our wedding date. He was also nearby (western Mass, just over the mountain from us) which felt right because we love to support local people's work.

I would absolutely hire Michael again for a wedding. And I would recommend him to friends and family in a heartbeat. In fact, how can I get him to DJ our holiday party??

TLDR: Meritage is excellent and Michael is a gem. 10/10

Great Experience with DJ James

After we heard DJ James at two of our friends weddings, he was our first choice when the time came to book our own wedding DJ. He did an amazing job with everything from the ceremony, to reception and had our dance floor packed the whole night! James was great to work with and was so accommodating during the whole planning proccess and throughout the wedding day. We would recommend DJ James and Meritage to anyone planning a wedding!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

The Essex Room The Essex Room Banquet Halls

We interact with different vendors for each wedding held at The Essex Room. We are fortunate enough to have really great relationships with 97% of our vendors and James and Liz from Meritage Entertainment are now part of the Essex Room family. They were honestly just wonderful to work with on every level. The weather was looking dicey, but James was very proactive and understanding as we put off making the decision of the ceremony being inside or outside. Liz was held the lighting control and they transformed the room with beautiful lights that matched the music and the energy from the guests. They both went out of their way to offer photos of the room with the up lighting and we can't wait to see them. We look forward to having them back again.
