1000000/10 Amazing

Sarah and Chris were INCREDIBLE. They had an easy but detailed form to fill out to make planning super simple and straightforward. They were very responsive and checked in often through and calls and emails leading up to our wedding. There were a lot of questions that we didn’t have answers to that they took care of, and were super knowledgeable about every single step.

At the wedding, they were not only amazing DJs who kept the crowd dancing all night, but they also provided live acoustic music throughout the ceremony and cocktail hour. Chris emceed the entire event flawlessly. He hyped up the crowd leading up to every announcement and was accommodating and supportive when we asked for last minute changes.

Finally, they checked in after our day and sent us beautiful photos from the DJ booth. I had a completely stress free event thanks to them, and I would recommend them to literally anyone for their day.

Extremely communicative and dependable!

No Macarena were super helpful throughout the entire process, giving feedback on our suggested playlists, helping sequence the speeches, and even recording our special day. We had Josh who was great and really helped us take our tastes and extrapolate them to pre-ceremony music, cocktail hour, and wedding reception. He had great suggestions to help make the day flow better. We would definitely recommend them for folks who know what music they like and want a great soundtrack to their day!

Rod @ No Macerena

Rod at No Macerena was amazing. He met with us to get our music taste and since we love all different types of music he alternated between song genres beautifully. Our guests said our music was amazing and they loved it! Would highly recommended. Booking with Sarah at No maternal was easy and in budget.

"No Macarena" DJ & Custom Music Service is the best in the business. While other DJs play a canned playlist that's the same at every wedding (I should know, since I shoot one nearly every weekend,) No Macarena's set list is completely custom, and completely planned by you. This gives every party that No Macarena hosts it's own uniquely crafted identity, which is a great thing to say about a DJ. Not only that, their hosts are unobtrusive yet remain "in charge" during those key moments when the party needs some structure. Highly recommended!!!
