    Big Apple Entertainment Well Worth It!

    Harold at Big Apple Entertainment was incredibly supportive from our initial outreach onward. We had a mix of musical requests, and his depth of knowledge across genres of music was the main differentiator. Moreover, Big Apple was able to provide us with great live musicians which we wanted for cocktail hour, as well as a photobooth. After we locked in the wedding day, Harold was clear on timing and expectations. We provided him a must play and do not play list which were followed by DJ Dan. At the end of the night, even staff members at the venue commented on how great and diverse the music selection was, and we cannot thank the Big Apple team enough. Highly recommend!

    Personalized, professional, created fun and exciting atmosphere

    We appreciated the way Big Apple Entertainment handled the music and emceeing at our daughter's wedding reception! Harold and his co-workers did a terrific job! Everything was handled smoothly, and the management of the sequence and flow of events was perfect. The volume of the mic and the music, and the pacing of the changing of the songs, were just ideal. They were able to get the room up dancing and having fun, right from the start, and they created a great atmosphere. As an announcer, Harold's voice was chill and clear, but lively at the same time, and the wording of your announcements was right on the mark. All in all, our reception was an exciting and happy event because it was well-run, and it was well-run because of Big Apple Entertainment's professionalism. Thank you for the excellent job. Your business, and you as a performer, are first-rate!

    Incredible!!

    We can not speak more highly of this company! They did my sisters wedding and my cousins wedding and we just knew that they had to do ours as well. Our favorite part of their service is their ability to individualize each of the weddings. Each wedding was so unique to each couple even though it was the same company. Teddy was incredible and kept everyone on the dance floor for most of the night! We are so happy with their service (:

    Dance floor rocked all night

    Wow these guys really delivered!!! My husband’s family is Egyptian, mine is American, and both sides love to dance and party, so we needed the music to switch between English and Arabic over the course of the night (not that easy to do without losing momentum). We provided the team ~20 Arabic songs in advance and we were SO impressed at how seamlessly they incorporated and mixed the music- both sides of the family and our friends were dancing the entire night! They were also very easy to communicate with both leading up to and with the emcee on the night of the event (for example, moving up the cake cutting so our photographer could get the shots before he left, making sure they had the right pronunciation of our bridal party names for the grand entrance).

    Big apple is the best

    We were so happy with big apple. From start to finish. They made our wedding truly spectacular. We were so happy and our guests absolutely loved all the music. Big apple is very responsive and really got what we wanted. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a dj and would use them again in the future.

    Big Apple Brings the Party!

    Big Apple Entertainment was absolutely amazing during our Wedding Process. From the Start Jon Luc and Harold, helped us figure out exactly what our entertainment needs would be. From helping to choose music to lighting and photo-booths, they were very knowledgeable and personable through each choice.

    DJ Jon-Luc and MC Jason rocked our wedding and the party. Our Families could not stop dancing. MC Jason was wonderful as he was able to keep the party going and able to communicate with our guests in Spanish as we had Bilingual needs. The Photo-booth was a hit! Big Apple was extremely professional every step of the way. I would highly recommend Big Apple for any event you may have. Get ready to have a great time!

    We had an excellent experience with Big Apple Entertainment!

    We had a great experience with Big Apple Entertainment! MC Teddy and DJ Jon- Luc were amazing! Jon- Luc had honored all our requests and filled in all the blanks where it was needed. I heard so many compliments about the music selection after the wedding. MC Teddy is great at what he does! He maintained an energetic atmosphere and he got our guest out on the dancefloor! He also organized a Tarentella dance that everyone loved! I highly recommend Big Apple to anyone who is looking for a DJ/ MC for an event.

    Party of a lifetime!

    Jamie and everyone at Big Apple really made our day complete. Numerous people mentioned to us after the fact that it was the best party they had ever been to - which would not be the case without awesome music and dancing! Thank you, Big Apple!

    Can't be any happier!

    I was planning my wedding and our venue recommended Big Apple Entertainment. Upon our first meeting, Harold made us feel at ease by his understanding and knowledge of different music genre. During the planning process, he helped us narrow down our style and music choices. Harold and the team are always there whenever we have any questions. On the day off, MC Kayo and DJ Jon were phenomenal. They knew how to work the crowd without going over the top. I had the best time of my life. Our friends are still talking about how fun our wedding was, and it sure couldn't happen without Big Apple Entertainment.

    My fiancé and I planned our wedding in one month bc we are expecting our first child in July. We called a few d.j.'s that we knew had done Albanian weddings before but struggled to actually get anyone on the phone. We finally called Big Apple Entertainment because they had done a wedding for a friend and we remembered the music was great. I was apprehensive about the whole wedding and process. Jamie took care of us when we went to the meetings. They were so professional, easy to get in touch with, and give our input about playlists. My fiancé loves music and had a vision of what the wedding should be. Big Apple nailed it! On our second meeting we met Vinnie and he guaranteed me I would have fun even though I almost cried in the office; I was dreading dancing in front of everyone so bad. He delivered. They took such great care of us. Everyone loved the music. They did an excellent job with the traditional Albanian/American mix we needed. The manager of the venue said it was the best mixed cultural wedding he'd ever seen. We had a blast and so did our guests. The music was amazing!

    These guys are the very best! They DJed my wedding at the Frelinghuysen Arboretum in Morristown, NJ on June 11th. It was outstanding. They got everyone on the dance floor (well, those that weren't out in the grass playing lawn games). I asked for a 90s-00s hip-hop flow - no Taylor Swift or Justin Bieber or anything like that - and WOW did they deliver! The music was excellent and they really set the tone and make the atmosphere so much fun.

    Big Apple Entertainment's reply:

    Thank you Jamie! It was our pleasure.
    Your entertainment team of Vinny & Nick.

    My fiancé and I met Paul at a bridal expo event that was taking place at our venue. He was a preferred vendor for the venue as well and was highly recommended. He gave a brief demonstration and my fiancé and I were both thrilled. We have different taste in music – he likes rock and I like country, but we both wanted to dance. I had wanted to surprise my fiancé by walking down the aisle to a Metallica song. Paul worked with me to find the perfect version and it was great! Paul was able to incorporate both of our music styles during the cocktail hour and reception and people were dancing the whole time! We had also opted to not take part in some traditional wedding elements, like the bouquet and garter toss. Instead Paul suggested a “longest couple dance” which was a huge hit. Everyone had a great time and we couldn’t have been happier.

    My husband and I first heard Big Apple at my cousins wedding and they did a wonderful job there and since that day we said we had to use them for ours. They were the perfect choice for our wedding. Paul was our MC and was so energetic and got the crowd moving. I would recommend Big Apple for any event. They made our night worth while. THANK YOU BIG APPLE!!

    Paul and the guys were amazing. People are still talking about how good they were. My guest never stopped dancing all night. Paul knows what he is doing. I'm sure they already lined up more weddings from the guest at my wedding. From the first meeting he helped with song selection and gave great direction on how the night should flow. He has been in the business for 30 years and really knows how to entertain a party. I am so thankful for Paul. My feet still hurt from all the dancing. They played music for the whole crowd and everyone is still talking about the "Shout" set. Would definitely recommend them to other brides if you want your guest to have fun!!

    The guys at Big Apple Entertainment are fantastic. We spoke to a couple of DJ's before booking them, and noticed that many DJ's are super flaky and not responsive. Paul always responded immediately, listened to all my requests, and gave me his professional opinion on the timeline, song selections and logistics. The night of the wedding was perfect and everything I had wished for. I told Paul I wanted the wedding to be like a night club and they nailed it. They read the crowd and switched things up to keep the guests dancing. My friends and I danced the night away, and we received many compliments. I will definitely use Big Apple Entertainment again. Thank you for making my wedding a dream come true!

    We first heard of Big Apple Entertainment at a bridal show nearly two years before our wedding. At the show, an MC and DJ performed a sample wedding, and we followed up with the company shortly after. When we first met with Paul, we immediately recognized his passion and energy for his job and his business. We hired Big Apple because we were confident that Paul would ensure a great party for us. In subsequent meetings, Paul only enhanced our confidence in his product. His attention to detail and high standard of performance removed provided great comfort.

    On our wedding day, we were excited to meet MC Phil and DJ Angelo. Phil met with us just prior to the introductions to ensure that he was following what we had previously requested. He did a great job getting the party started. Phil and Angelo have a great talent for reading the crowd and chose great music to keep the party going all night. Prior to the wedding, we decided to add an extra hour, and we feel that every penny was well worth it.

    We also appreciated that Phil checked in with us throughout the night to ensure we were enjoying everything - and we definitely were. We can't imagine having hired anyone else, and we would recommend Big Apple Entertainment to anyone and everyone.

    Big apple ent was AMAZING!! All the meetings with them before the wedding were personable, easy and organized. Paul was excellent in setting up everything we needed. On the day of our wedding, the DJ's were perfect. They really listened to the crowd and played the best songs to keep the dance floor full & fun!! At the end of the day, my friends thought I had given the DJ all those songs on my "must play" list but I didn't... they just read the crowd so well!! I'm so happy with their services.. I 100% recommend them to anyone. They really helped make my wedding day special.

    I can't begin to describe how happy we were with Big Apple Entertainment/Visual Impressions. We met Paul almost two years before our wedding, and felt like we were meeting with family. He was personable, professional and so friendly. We got married 5/17/15 and he went above and beyond throughout the whole process, and worked flawlessly with our venue, The Fountainhead. Paul took so much time to go through everything with us in great detail. He helped us come up with the perfect music for the ceremony and everyone loved our unique choices. The energy in the room was amazing and everyone danced the night away. Everyone commented on the fantastic time they had at our wedding. We worked with Frank & George from Visual Impressions and our pictures/video are stunning. Frank and George, like Paul were so personable and professional. They kept our day running so smoothly getting everything we wanted and they needed without keeping us from our party or guests. One stop shopping at Big Apple Entertainment/Visual Impressions you will not be disappointed!!!!!!!!!!

    We couldn't be more happy with the service we received from Big Apple. Paul was very understanding and helpful. We discussed playing certain genres and Paul hit it right. He knew how to get the crowd going and what worked best. He was easy to work with so he knew what we liked and didn't like and he gave us his opinions based on that. Our wedding music was a hit! Wish it didn't end!

    Big Apple is by far the best in the industry when it comes to dj's! from the minute I met Paul, he was personable, professional, super friendly, and really talked to my parents and I for a while and made us feel so comfortable. Needless to say, we thought he was great and hired him for the big day! its so important to have great music at a wedding and I was really nervous as a bride that everything would turn out perfect (i'm a bit of a control freak and my dad had a huge playlist of what he wanted at my wedding too. Between the 2 of us I joked with Paul saying we were gonna drive him crazy! lol) but honestly I knew Paul and his staff would deliver and they actually went above and beyond what I could possibly even imagine! he had my guests dancing and partying to the point where we didn't want the night to end! he would come over to us to make sure all was ok and Paul was an awesome MC! every time i looked around people were out on the dance floor dancing and having a great time! i've already gotten asked who my amazing dj company was and I hope they use Big Apple for their special day as well! Thank you again Paul for going above and beyond for us and for being more than we could have ever hoped for! I enjoyed myself so much and so did Eddie. He raved about you guys!! I know my dad too had the time of his life when he heard the songs that he had requested and they were played! I can't wait to use you guys again in the future! If your a bride or a groom and you want perfect music on your wedding day (as you should!) then look no further than Big Apple! i can guarantee you will not be dissapointed! thanks again!

    My wife and myself booked Big Apple after hearing great things about them from a family friend. We ended up using all their services. Specifically their dj, photography, and video services. I could not express how professional, fun, outgoing, and meticulous he and his staff were from the beginning of the planning process to the day/night of the wedding. Paul and his staff customized everything to our liking. For example we are both huge Disney fans and we were both able to get a little bit of our favorite disney elements in with her instrumental beauty and the beast song for her walking into the chapel, and my muppet song on the processional out of the chapel. We both had an expectation of the night in our head already planned out, and they went completely above and beyond our expectations. Do not hesitate to hire them they do an above and beyond job with everything, more importantly they make you feel like family.

    No doubt about it Big Apple Entertainment/Visual Impressions did a fantastic job with our wedding. Paul is a true professional and was patient, attentive and helpful in every single one of our meetings. Planning a wedding is extremely stressful but when it came to the DJ/Photo aspect we had very little to stress about. On the day of the wedding they were on time and on top of their game from the moment they showed up at my wife's parents house. The wedding was quite an event and it wouldn't have been the same without Paul and his crew. They listened to every crazy idea we had and didn't deter us from anything we wanted to do. In fact, they helped enhance everything we wanted to do. In one word they were AWESOME!! Even after the wedding Paul went out of his way to help us out. My wife's father passed away a few months after the wedding and Paul gave us free 8x10 pictures of her dad free of charge to give to her mother and to keep for herself. We will never forget his generosity and kindness.
