DJs with taste! We had a blast!

We had an excellent experience with Style Matters DJs! Are music taste is the opposite of wedding music and these guys get it! Spencer was great to work with, responsive, reasonable pricing, and matched us with our DJ, Jonathan who totally understood the assignment! We created pretty extensive playlists because we are big music people and he nailed it! Great dj skills mixing and making all the transitions fun! He was on time and everyone had a blast! Thank you Jonathan and Spencer!!!

Awesome experience!

We had such an incredible experience with Style Matters for our wedding at the Honeycomb and Cafe Brauer! From start to finish, everything was seamless and so well-executed. We worked with Spencer throughout the planning process, and he was an absolute gem—kind, super responsive, and genuinely helpful with every question we had leading up to the day.

For the ceremony and cocktail hour, we hired their string trio, and they were absolutely amazing. The music was beautiful and truly elevated the atmosphere—so many guests commented on how lovely it sounded!

Our DJ for the reception was Margot, and she was fantastic. She struck the perfect balance of being fun and energetic while also staying professional and respectful of our preferences. She followed our "do not play" list carefully, but still read the crowd perfectly and played a great mix of songs that kept the dance floor packed until midnight! Her announcements throughout the evening were clear and well-timed, and the overall sound quality for both the reception and earlier parts of the day was excellent.

We’re so happy we chose Style Matters and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-tier music and service for their big day!

Amazing dj!

We had the best night of our lives thanks to Style Matters DJ! We used them for our wedding and couldn't have asked for a better DJ, we have been getting compliments nonstop post-wedding. Spencer paired us with Devin (DJ Archie) and he was phenomenal. We told him that we wanted our guests on the dance floor all night and he did not disappoint. He played hit after hit and was able to read the vibe of the crowd really well. Even after 4 hours of dancing our guests did not want to stop. Thank you for making our wedding so memorable and insanely fun!

10/10 would recommend!

We were lucky enough to get "Duke" as our DJ for our November wedding. He was the BEST! He came recommended by our day-of coordinator, and that recommendation was affirmed in our first meeting when he came prepared with a list of questions that really go to the core of my and my partner's music tastes, which are quite different. To be fair, I'm more a fan of pop and country fan, and my partner is a huge believer that country isn't real music, and EDM / dance pop is where it's at. Duke was able to help us find some common ground and create a playlist that played to both of our preferences and kept the dance floor alive all night long (though my partner would likely still argue that he snuck in one too many "pop country" hits to the playlist for his taste lol).

Duke brought so much fun energy to the evening (beyond just the music he also was an amazing emcee) and kept even our older guests engaged and excited to come out and party with some fun oldies toward the beginning of the night before transitioning to more traditional "club" vibes later on that the bridal party could vibe with. Duke was also great in helping us curate our bridal party intros and music for dinner, throwing in some fun Disney songs that had our guests laughing and singing along, absolutely setting the right tone for the night right off the bat. We knew we would be in good hands with Style Matters, but felt so lucky to have Duke be a part of our day and be our music deity for the night.

Thanks, Max

We got a Style Matters DJ as part of our venue—they spin at Greenhouse Loft. We were thrilled with Max, who was cheerful, responsive, and easy to talk to. We had a couple of special requests (ranging from special dances to "please don't use the phrase 'ladies and gentlemen'") and he handled it all, including a little light emceeing, without blinking. (Not literally.) Almost uniquely, he made it hard for me to want to leave the dance floor; he just "got" our vibe perfectly. Highly recommend.

Perfect Soundtrack

Spencer and Style Matters are a dream to work with. We had Ryan for our big day, and I cannot express how amazing the music was throughout the day. The detailed form provided before your wedding is fantastic, and was a major help for us, as we stressed about music for a long time! We received so many compliments, but we can honestly say that EVERYONE was dancing until the lights came on! Ryan did an incredible job keeping our crazy families on the dance floor, and everyone raved about the tunes all night! Major, major thanks for setting the tone for our day :)

Only book if you are serious about dancing all night!

Esteban was an absolute gem at our wedding! He kept the party alive and the dance floor hopping all night long. His music selection was on point, and he seamlessly blended different genres to cater to all our guests' tastes. He listened to our tastes and helped provide an awesome set list. Esteban's energy and enthusiasm were infectious, and he truly understood the vibe we wanted for our special day. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ to create the perfect atmosphere. We received so many compliments and many people asked how we found such an awesome DJ. Would definitely book Esteban again!

No one left the dance floor

No one left the dance floor once it opened up! Our DJ was Jonathan M and he was great to work with and matched up the music and energy we wanted for the night. Also, Spencer was quick to respond throughout the whole process. This is a great vendor

Perfect Match

We had DJ Larry. He was the perfect fit for us. We were complimented on the music all night. He played our favorite songs and more. The mix all blended perfectly together. He was extremely entertaining and attentive. In our must playlist we had Wonderwall. I had put that song in because it was in my vows. My now husband requested for me on New Years party ship. It was the middle of club music and he did it to make me feel more comfortable. He played it as our last dance and it was the perfect song for it. My husband found me and hug me and we danced and sang together. I thanked the DJ for playing that and how much it meant to me. He said that he was putting together last songs and decided he must play this one. I was surprised because I thought someone told him about my vows and planned it. He said he must of felt it. I am so happy we were paired with him.

Kept the dance floor going all night!

DJ Max sure knows how to throw a party! We’ve never seen a dance floor so packed from end-to-end, and we were pleasantly surprised to see how many “grown ups” (parents, aunts, uncles, etc) were out on the floor. Max took our brain dump of song ideas and seamlessly threaded them into a playlist that appealed to all demographics, including weaving in some songs that we hadn’t thought of. Our only trouble was finding a time to take a break from dancing… any time we tried to leave, another favorite song came on! Highly recommend DJ Max from Style Matters!

If you want solid music without the silly frills and contrived djay voices, Style Matters DJ's is the way to go. I've worked with them on several occasions and I'm impressed every time.

Fragola Productions LLC Fragola Productions LLC Wedding Photographers

This year we've photographed 3 weddings where the DJs were from Style That Matters. Each wedding the DJs showed up well dressed in a timely manner. Easy going, always responding to the crowd rather than playing strictly with their own taste. Looking forward to working with these guys in the upcoming wedding season.
