Our 25th Wedding Anniversary Celebration

Our celebration was a great success thanks to the DJ and his great talent of reading the crowd. We had a diverse group and everyone had a good time. The request for the different genres of music was amazing. The DJ played our wedding video all night which was a tremendous hit. Our guests were able to see themselves at our wedding 25 years ago.
Great music makes the celebration and Tommy was the best. I would 100% recommend him any celebration.

Best Wedding Ever !

The best part of Tommy was his patience and ability to understand what exact music my wife and I wanted. We spent tirelessly hours listening and playing music to which we really wanted. Not only for the wedding but the rehearsals also. So many people for so many hours “Danced the Night Away”. He MC’d the wedding to the umpteenth degree. Tommy was extremely flexible when it came to requests, so much so we got tremendous feedback from many of our guests on just how well the music was . Tommy is a true professional and is a “Needle in haystack” when it comes to DJ ing! I cannot recommend him highly enough ! You won’t be disappointed !

Excellent DJ!

What can I say about Needle in the Groove? Tommy Cerino is an amazing DJ. He recently did my daughters 30th birthday him and took the time to listen to my daughters music tastes and designed the night around her. The photographer he brought captured wonderful pictures all night which were displayed on his monitor. Tommy did her communion many years ago as well as functions at my marina and in fire island. He is a perfectionist and spends so much time and detail in everything he does. He takes pride in his work and it shows when he does a party. I highly recommend him and will never use any other DJ!

Top Notch and Sincerely wants your event to be perfect!

Tommy Cerino from needle in the groove Did my wedding 27 years ago and the reception was a complete success! so here I am today to report that he did my daughter’s wedding and he did not fail. He was the ideal DJ to have at my daughters day wedding. He kept the party going and make sure that everything was On schedule, on time, and truly cares about your event and wants it to be a success. He covered the ceremony as well, and made sure that the sound system was top notch and that the microphones were working nice and clear and it really made for a special outdoor ceremony. I highly recommend Needle in the Groove. I am so happy we had him and his team do our daughters wedding,

Went above and beyond

Where to begin. Tom was so accommodating right from the start. He listened to all our likes and dislikes, and designed music and lighting that was perfect. The photographer for the zap shots was amazing, the candid shots was perfect, he really captured all the high points. The percussionist was excellent, he really added a nice touch to our wedding.

Super accommodating.

Tom listened to our wants/desires and implicated them all without fail. Amazing job! Looking for a different experience, we also had hired Percussionist who was a lot of fun and played along with the guests. The photographer too, was great and captured really great moments.

Wonderful!

Tommy was our first pick to have DJ our wedding, but due to the distance we settled for his videographer services. He did a wonderful job with capturing our rehearsal dinner, wedding and reception. He is devoted to his craft, and produced a beautiful video that we will cherish forever! Highly recommend for any of your future events!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
