Darren Sent on 11/11/2024The DJ Your Special Day Deserves
Barb was one of the least stressful and easiest parts of our wedding day - and ensured that the entire day went as smoothly as possible.
Despite some audibles in planning and the day of - she was a rockstar at keeping the show moving - and making sure guests were having a great time.
First off - she was incredibly professional and thorough in the lead up process for our wedding - we had originally planned on having a musical guest and some other wildcards - all of which she was very willing to accommodate. She was great about checking in for key beats in the weeks leading up, and even with minimal direction, we felt confident that Barb would have our reception covered.
We had a bit of an audible on the day of our wedding - with the weather shifting our timing off of the original schedule. I spent a good chunk of time on the phone with Barb the morning of our wedding talking through some adjustments to the reception timeline, and making sure we had everything buttoned up. Even with some last minute delays on getting guests to our venue she helped us to ensure we had our perfect entrance to the reception.
Throughout the evening - she checked in with us - the bride and groom - when she could catch us, to ensure the music was the vibe we expected - and if she felt the party needed something else was sure to ask.
Barb is not your cliche 'hype man' or airhorn and EDM DJ that looks to make the party about them with over the top mixes - she is a true professional that ensures the party keeps moving, and the music is exactly what the group there needs.Barb Fox's DJ Entertainment's reply:
Darren, what can I say but -- I LOVED you two! And your guests! JoJo (my assistant) and I are still talking about it -- what a fun, fun group! And ohmigosh, they danced to EVERYTHING! (I have to tell you, I have never in my life had someone request "What does the Fox say", but when they said the bride loves it -- they meant it! It was hysterical and adorable all at the same time. Seriously, you are a fabulous couple, and I (we) loved every minute of DJing for you. Best wishes to you both! -

Barb is an absolute professional! From beginning to end she made things easy and was extremely quick to respond. She brought all her own gear and was very flexible with our reception venue. Barb also did an awesome job with keeping events on track during our wedding reception, without being overbearing or pushy at all (seriously she’s great).
If you’re looking for a DJ with experience who meshes well with the event planners, Barb’s your gal.
Did I mention she’s also hilarious? 10/10!!Barb Fox's DJ Entertainment's reply:
Sean,
Thank you so much! I have to say, tho, that you two were pretty easy to work with, and your guests were all so much fun! When they requested "Come on Eileen" and formed a kick-line, it was adorable! Thank you for having me, and best of luck to you both. 🙂🙂 -

Nancy Sent on 08/30/2024Amazing!
Cannot recommend Barb enough. She is truly an experienced professional who understands the mission for the service she is providing. The dance floor was literally FULL ALL NIGHT LONG!! Couldn't ask for a better DJ. The whole process was easy from beginning to end. Don't hesitate to call her!!Barb Fox's DJ Entertainment's reply:
Nancy, ohmigosh, what a crazy crazy group! Nick and Natalie were so good to work with, and the guests never stopped dancing! When someone said "Nancy's (the mother of the bride's) favorite song is 'Copacabana' so I played it-- they all stayed out there and danced. They were really a fun fun group-- they made our job easy! -

Ashley Sent on 10/24/2023Amazing!
Barb was such a fantastic DJ from our first phone call to the night of the wedding. I knew right away from our first conversation Barb was going to be the DJ for my wedding. She was so professional, helpful and sweet! She offered advice on what to play for music throughout the ceremony and sent numerous suggestions to listen to before our big day. She went above and beyond on our day as well to help coordinate when things were to happen and help guide us to make for a smooth and fun night for all of our guests and us. 10 out of 10 would recommend to anyone!!!Barb Fox's DJ Entertainment's reply:
Ashley, thank you so much! You two were so easy to work with, you made it easy. And your guests were so much fun! I swear, they danced every single minute! Best of luck to you both, and thank you again for having me! -
![Julie]()
Julie Sent on 08/16/2023Barb and her side kick were fantastic!! Barb is flexible, and really strived to make our day perfect.
Barb and her side kick were excellent. We spoke to Barb many times before the wedding and she was always available and very professional. She advised us when we had questions and It was obvious she has a great deal of experience. Barb was also extremely flexible and honest. It was like talking to a friend when working out the details of the day.
Barb got the party going really quick. She definitely knows her music and how to get people on the dance floor.Barb Fox's DJ Entertainment's reply:
Julie, thank you for the kind words -- you guys were a blast! (And I loved seeing the castle, just an added "plus" for me!). But seriously, I knew ever since our first phone call that we would get along famously -- loved meeting you both! Best wishes to you guys! -

Ian H. Sent on 11/28/2022Barb Fox is the Best, Hands Down No Question About it.
My now wife and I were looking for a DJ for our wedding a few months ago and found Barb Fox on wedding wire. I had forgotten over the years that Barb had actually DJ'd a relative's wedding years ago and she was an old family friend and we quickly got in contact with her to see if she would be willing to DJ our wedding. Barb was very responsive and excited to talk with us and answered all of our questions about the process of hiring a DJ for our wedding and what she could offer.
A few weeks before the wedding we met with Barb and had a great experience going over our wedding playlist and first dance songs. Barb assured us that she would keep the dance floor full and the party going from start to finish and boy did she deliver on that promise. Barb used our suggested songs and made them special moments throughout our reception. She was extremely helpful keeping things moving along for us all evening and gave us great advice throughout the night as she guided us through our memorable reception. She kept the dance floor full all night and our friends and family have since told us that they haven't had that much fun at a wedding in a long time.
Barb is an absolute pro's pro and can handle any question or request with ease on the evening of your reception. If you're looking for an affordable DJ who will bring the fun and bring the party and make your night as memorable as possible, Go with Barb Fox, you won't be disappointed, I promise you.Barb Fox's DJ Entertainment's reply:
Ohmigosh, Ian -- your wedding was SO...MUCH...FUN!!!!! Such a dancing crowd -- and you guys were so easy to work with, you made my job a breeze. Just so you know, I was at my gym a couple days later, and one of the coaches was saying that she was wondering what was going on at the Doubletree Saturday night (she was across the street at a restaurant), because people were in and out, looking like they were having so much fun! And wow, wow, wow -- your bagpipe band is amazing!!! Thank you for having me -- my best to you and Maggie. May your days be filled with joy and laughter and love. -

Sue J. Sent on 11/20/2022Highly recommend this vendor!
Barb was WONDERFUL! She has a vast musical library and there was music for everyone. She excelled at watching which music got the guests up and dancing. She also acted as an excellent emcee as we requested. She is lively and full of fun. We had three separate areas… cocktail hour, dinner and then dancing. She was asked to play music in each of the three rooms and she did, playing appropriate music for each. She motivated the crowd to party. I have to say it was an excellent time!
Barb was super easy to work with and listened to us. Her pricing was excellent…..Big Bang for the buck! She was set up and ready to roll when we got there. She was extremely knowledgable and she delivered beyond our expectations. Highly recommend!Barb Fox's DJ Entertainment's reply:
Sue, you are such a sweetie! I so appreciate you having me! The venue was simply gorgeous and your friends and family were fun, fun, fun! Thank you for the kind words -- I love my job, and I try to really follow the vision of each bride and groom, so it's always good to hear back. Thanks again! :)

Tara Sent on 11/06/2022Look no further- seriously!!
Barb was the best DJ we could have hoped for! We wanted a folk/acoustic vibe for our cocktail hour and dinner, which Barb absolutely nailed. When the dance floor opened, hits from every decade made an inclusive variety so anyone could feel comfortable dancing. Barb is an expert at reading the room and adjusting the music to the energy of the folks on the dance floor. Towards the end of the night, we were even doing impromptu karaoke to 2000's hits (it was wildly entertaining). Our guests LOVED the selection of music Barb was playing. I'm still getting compliments a month later of friends expressing that they have NEVER seen a dance floor packed from start to finish at a wedding, except ours. Barb was extremely open to suggestions, responsive to our inquiries, and friendly. Also, Barb has a talent for making announcements and being a fabulous emcee. We've been to a few weddings in the past year when the emcees made cringe jokes and messed up the wedding party entrances. We didn't worry AT ALL about that with Barb. She is amazing. If you are looking for a DJ for your wedding, you should definitely give her a call. You will not regret it. She even got me a plate of appetizers when I was running around, which I would not have been able to try without her noticing me trying to shove cheese and crackers in my mouth while on the go. Huge thank you to Barb for making our wedding AMAZING!Barb Fox's DJ Entertainment's reply:
Tara, you guys were AWESOME! JoJo (my assistant) and I couldn't stop talking about it the whole trip home -- I think we had just as much fun as your guests did! Thank you so much for having us -- it was totally our pleasure -- and I feel honored to have been part of your day! :)

Cheri Sent on 07/04/2022Love her! Amazing DJ
Barb was an amazing DJ and more. She kept the reception going, knew how to read the crowd and had everyone dancing. She is amazing. I had numerous comments after the wedding on what a great DJ she was. She even got out there and lead a conga line! Love, love, love her!Barb Fox's DJ Entertainment's reply:
Cheri,
Ohmigosh, you guys were awesome! Once they started dancing, there was no stopping them! And everyone was so nice, they couldn't have made my job easier. Thank you SO much for having me!💖💗

![Ryan]()
Ryan Sent on 06/19/2022Best vendor decision of our wedding!
DJ Barb kept the dance floor absolutely bumping for almost 5 hours straight, right up to the end of the reception. We had an outdoor wedding in a beautiful location with lots of places to wander and explore, so we were worried about people dispersing too much to keep the dance party going. Instead, DJ Barb lit a fire under the party and the dance floor was without question the center of the night. She worked hard to figure out and match our tastes, and to work within those tastes to adjust to the crowd and moment to keep everyone hollering "YES!!!" every time a new song started. She also dealt with playing a tribute song for a recently passed family member, and then getting the dancing going again after without it feeling awkward or uncouth. DJ Barb is seriously worth every penny, and was by far the best of a group of excellent vendor decisions we made.Barb Fox's DJ Entertainment's reply:
Ryan, you told me you were a dancer, and you weren't kidding -- what fun it was! And all your friends and family -- I was SO excited to keep them going! How I get so lucky to find such fabulous brides and grooms, I don't know...but thank you for having me -- you both are sweethearts, and I wish you only the best! -

Kaitlyn Sent on 09/21/2021All You Could Ask for in a DJ/Emcee...And More!
Barb Fox is the epitome of an experienced professional. You will never feel like just another number with Barb, you can tell how much she truly cares about your event, and YOU! She works tirelessly to make sure not a single detail goes overlooked, and rolls with the punches to ensure everything goes off without a hitch, and on schedule!
I couldn't imagine having anyone else work our wedding, she adjusted accordingly when our catering was running a bit behind, and made sure we still fit everything into the evening that we told her we wanted! Not to mention she will keep your dance floor packed ALL NIGHT LONG! No one wanted the dancing to end, and she obliged us with numerous encores:)!
An industry expert through and through you will not find a sweeter, more caring, professional DJ/Emcee anywhere. You will never regret booking Barb Fox for your event, you can stop your searching now - you won't find better than her!!Barb Fox's DJ Entertainment's reply:
Kaitlyn, Kaitlyn, Kaitlyn.....omg, what an exhilarating experience! I absolutely LOVED doing your wedding! All the little extras that you wanted were just icing on the cake (no pun intended) to a perfect day, so there was no way I wasn't going to fit them in! Love you both, your friends and family were another crazy bunch--but those are thr guests that I love to work with! 😊😊💕💗 -

Hannah Sent on 09/20/2021Amazing DJ!
We could not be happier with our decision to use Barb for our wedding. Right from the start she was extremely responsive to our emails and really took the time to get to know us to play the right music for our crowd. She even took the time to double check she had the right versions of important songs for our ceremony and reception. Not only did she keep the party going with her choice in music, but she was an amazing master of ceremonies. She was also extremely accommodating when we had to postpone our initial wedding due to COVID and definitely helped make the wait worth it!Barb Fox's DJ Entertainment's reply:
Hannah -- holy cats! You guys were amazing to work with...and what a fun and crazy group of guests! They were SO much fun -- my assistant and I were laughing and talking about it for days! Thank you so much for having me -- it is always my pleasure to work for people as wonderful as you. :) -
![Taylor]()
Taylor Sent on 05/18/2021Couldn’t have been more amazing!!!
Barb Fox is the absolute BEST dj I’ve had the pleasure of coming across. A family friend that lives in New York recommended her to to me for my wedding in Virginia and I was not disappointed what so ever! She was more than willing to travel for me which was amazing!! We didn’t have a wedding planner and our wedding was fairly small so she offered to come early to the rehearsal and help direct our entire ceremony and reception entrance as she has done so many weddings in the past that she’s basically an expert in how weddings are organized!
Her entire planning process is extremely smooth and simple. She calls a few weeks before the wedding to get a feel for the type of music you like and then plans out all the little details. As for the actual wedding day, she couldn’t have been better! She knows exactly how to read a crowd and get their attention when they start drifting away from the dance floor. She even provided us with up lights and brought some super fun glowing wrist bands that everyone loved (especially the kids).
Overall, Barb Fox was the absolute perfect choice for our wedding and I’m so happy we found her!!Barb Fox's DJ Entertainment's reply:
Taylor,
It was so much fun! You guys were so easy to work with, and your friends ate amazing-- they were cracking me up! Thanks so much for having me!!!😊😊😊 -

Kelley Sent on 04/29/2021She makes a great party!
We hired Barb Fox for our wedding reception. She was fantastic to work with, provided spot-on music for dinner and dancing, and really knows how to read the room. It was a blast all evening as she knew how to get people moving and singing. There are a lot of little details that go into putting on a wedding reception which are more than just the music and Barb Fox clearing has experience keeping everything running smoothly. Thank you Barb! -

Jennifer Sent on 09/02/2019You won't be disappointed! Exceeds expectations
Barb was absolutely amazing. She was quick to get back to us during the planning phase and was very easy to work with. The day of, she made sure we knew what was going on at all times. She kept the party going and got people out to the dance floor. We would definitely hire her again. She really goes above and beyond!Barb Fox's DJ Entertainment's reply:
Jen,
You are so sweet! I'm glad you thought I was easy to work with, but YOU guys were so easy to work with! And your friends (and family) were adorable. :) Loved the bridal party entrance -- a cool idea that worked seamlessly, and they all got into it (especially the ringbearer, hahahaha)! Take good care of yourselves, and enjoy much happiness in your futures! :)

Lindsey Sent on 08/19/2019Best DJ in upstate ny!!
DJ barb fox is the absolutely best. She was so easy to work with, made sure she got all the important details ahead of time and kept our wedding on track all night. The dance floor was packed all night long, playing the perfect mix of oldies, new hits and music from our high school years. Guests were even asking for a copy of the dinner playlist because they loved it so much. Barb is so good at reading the crowd deciding what to play next! She got everyone from age 23 to 93 on the dance floor! We moved our ceremony inside at the last minute because of weather and she quickly made adjustments to accommodate. She also brought lights to up - light our venue which added an extra special touch! She made our wedding stress free and so fun!Barb Fox's DJ Entertainment's reply:
Thank you so much, Lindsey, you guys were the best! It was absolutely my pleasure to DJ for you and your wild and crazy family and friends! 😊😊😊 -

Kristen Sent on 10/16/2018Barb is a Rockstar
We picked Barb after talking to quite a few DJs. We were having a barn wedding and I wanted someone who would not become overbearing when the dance floor was empty because guests were at a bonfire outside or playing a lawn game. She totally got it and we had such a great conversation on the phone I booked her right away. She also helped me design the flow of the ceremony. It was a week before and I was freaking out a bit and we got it done together on the phone. She’s laid back enough to roll with it but she was on it to keep us on time (at one point she even helped me bustle my dress!). Her cocktail hour playlist was amazing having some of our favorite bands. Her dinner set also was amazing everything we talked about was covered. She read the crowd so well and the dance floor was full. We had the best time and people keep talking about how wonderful she was. Her personality is key. You feel comfortable in her hands and don’t have to worry about anything. -

Brianna Sent on 10/14/2018Barb Fox is absolutely incredible and was a HUGE part of making my wedding the best day ever!! She did our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception music. Each event was better than the last! She was immensely helpful with planning the wedding, especially our reception timeline. She answers emails extremely quickly and was very accommodating with meeting in person or over the phone, which I always appreciated as a detail oriented bride! She plays the perfect balance of dancey music, slow songs and group dances. I may be biased because it was my own wedding, but I have never been to a better dance party at a reception. She even checked in with me throughout the night to make sure I was happy! When my husband's grandma requested that she play the hokey pokey, she got everyone at the wedding on the dance floor to participate and it was HILARIOUS - most definitely a highlight of the night!! I can't imagine that the wedding would have been as perfect without Barb guiding it. All of our guests are raving about the great night they had and I know it is surely in part to the wonderful reception Barb helped us throw. We cannot thank Barb enough for her amazing work and hospitality! Future brides reading this - YOU NEED BARB AT YOUR WEDDING! -

The best DJ!
I can’t say enough great things about Barb! From the second we booked with her, she was professional and timely with any/all questions! We had a meeting prior to our wedding and she went over in depth what we would like and helped us to pick all our song choices for every special moment. I had saw a song that I wanted to walk down the aisle to and she made sure she secured that song for me! She went over our timeline and advocated for us to have PLENTY of time to dance.
On our wedding day, she helped to organize all our rowdy wedding party to walk down the aisle, enter the reception and made sure the timing of EVERYTHING was perfect. As a bride, she really helps you have that special moment!! She wears more than just the role of DJ at the wedding!
And the party, let’s talk about the party. I think the photos speak for themselves. All my guests had the most fabulous time and we were all ACHING the next day from such a good time. She read the room to play the right songs at the right time. One of the BEST decisions we made for our wedding was booking with Barb! I can’t thank her enough for truly making our wedding such a success!Barb Fox's DJ Entertainment's reply:
Allison,
You are so adorable! I would not consider your wedding party rowdy, I would call them fun-loving. You all were so easy to work with, and so, SO crazy fun!! Thank you for having me DJ. I often wonder how I get so lucky to have such incredibly sweet people to work with, and I don't know the answer, but I am extremely grateful. You two are the epitome of a DJ's dream couple, and I wish you all the very best in your future. (And thanks for the photos, I love them!) -
