    The best!

    DJ Chris was so much fun to work with! From the initial consultation phone call, to our actual wedding day, Chris took the time to get to know us, our music tastes, and what we envisioned for our wedding. You can really tell that he feels genuine happiness and excitement for the couples he works with, and wants to provide the best possible experience! His online portal website makes the planning process incredibly easy, as it can be accessed anytime, anywhere. Chris was there to provide suggestions and fun ideas as well. In my opinion, Chris has DJing down to a science. He knows exactly how to build up the music to create the most energetic and fun dance floor and get people excited, and he DEFINITELY knows how to read the crowd!! When he could see/hear our guests getting really into a song, he followed up with another hit. At the end of our wedding, we had multiple friends come up to us to tell us how much they loved the music playlist! I cannot recommend Chris enough for all musical/DJ needs!

    Excellent DJ Experience

    We hired Chris for a wedding at the Parkway Library in Philadelphia and he was, in short, excellent. Prior to our wedding, he was quite professional, and was very efficient during meetings we had with us. Our main prep meeting took place only a few weeks before our wedding, which was great for us because we were very busy leading up to our wedding and did not have much time in the months prior to pay much attention to music. On the day of, Chris and his team did a great job from a technical perspective. From getting the volume level right for the ceremony (indoors in a large hall), to the speeches, to making sure the music sounded great (outdoors under a tent), Chris and his team crushed it and made everything really seamless and easy for us.

    And Chris brought great energy to the dancefloor. I have to admit that I was just a bit skeptical about the claim on his website about being really, really good at reading crowds (it sounds like something every DJ says), but Chris truly backed that claim up. The music choices were perfect for our group (a really nice combination of songs we specifically asked for and others that he came up with) and the transitions were excellent and pretty much always at exactly the right time. He did not speak too much, but when he did, it was effective and impactful. All of our friends had a great time and we got to see several older family members on the dancefloor that we had never seen dance before. And, although I know Chris does a lot of weddings, he truly made us feel like ours was special. Overall, I would highly recommend Chris and his team.

    Guests said we had the best music they'd ever heard at a wedding!

    If you want INCREDIBLY fun, personalized, thoughtful and absolutely energetic music at your wedding, book Marx Event Group ASAP!!!! Chris kept our friends and family dancing all night, and guests kept coming up to us during the party and afterwards to say that we had the best music they'd ever heard at a wedding. He went above and beyond, even accommodating last-minute additions from Taylor Swift's brand new "Midnights" album and a surprise mother-daughter dance to Carole King's "Where You Lead" that multiple people have texted me about in the days since our wedding. Seriously, book Chris ASAP - he's kind, accommodating and an all-around great guy to have involved in your wedding. Thank you, Chris!

    Above and beyond all expectations

    Chris was amazing and we couldn't have asked for a better DJ/sound technician/all-around all-star. He made the sound coordination with all our vendors incredibly seamless from the ceremony, to the cocktail hour, to the reception. Chris was also very accommodating, going out of his way to make a "mash-up" for the father-daughter dance. For the reception, we gave him two or three "must's" and a general feel of what we were looking for, and otherwise told him he had free reign of the dance floor. Chris provided an absolutely electric environment, which had everyone dancing the entire night. We had multiple soon-to-be married couples come up to us afterwards asking for his information because he was the best DJ they ever experienced at a wedding.

    What Complaints?

    Chris got the party going and still played all my beloved oldies. He’s fun to work with and made sure our wedding went smoothly. He’s a professional and it showed at our wedding. Very glad we had him 10/10.

    Amazing!!!

    Chris Marx was an absolute joy to work with! He was extremely attentive, caring, fun, and knew exactly what he was doing. Chris was able to create and hold the different moods we were trying to achieve throughout different parts of our wedding. His overall knowledge of his trade made it very easy to plan the soundtrack of our wedding. Even after all of the planning Chris was able to make quick decisions during the wedding to make everything run smoothly. Overall Chris was the best DJ we could have chosen for our wedding and really made our wedding wonderful.

    All our guests loved Ron!

    After being to many a wedding prior to our own, we always said all we needed to make our day great was good food and good music, and Marx Event Group was everything we could have asked for in a DJ. We spoke to Chris a few times in the planning process, he understood our “vibe” right off the bat and made it clear he and his team were happy to make the day whatever we wanted. He was very responsive to questions and made himself available to us at any time. We were able to meet with Chris and Ron over Zoom prior to the wedding day to talk through the full timeline, which really helped put us at ease. On the wedding day, Ron crushed it. He made a last-minute suggestion to change up where we did our first dance and speeches – we loved it – and so many of our guests commented on how great it was (as though it had been planned all along). And he had our guests dancing and singing along the whole night. Everyone was on the dance floor. In the weeks after the wedding, people have specifically said how much they loved our DJ. Thank you to Ron and Chris for making the process so easy and for doing your job so well that we didn’t have to worry about a thing!

    Excellent experience

    Chris and Jon were wonderful to work with! Since Chris was not available on our wedding day, Jon DJ'ed and he was awesome! He read the crowd well and received many compliments from my guests. We would highly recommend. Thank you!!!

    Simply the best!!

    From the moment we talked to Chris a year ago, we knew he was the DJ for us. Now a year later, after postponing our wedding twice, Chris has been a calmness for us in this chaos! Every call we’ve had with Chris has put our nerves at ease. He has been so accommodating and helpful in every change we’ve made. We’re so looking forward to the day we get to break it down on the dance floor with him.

    Best Party DJ

    We loved working with Chris for our wedding! He was so quick in his responses, so easy to work with, great at listening to our wishes, and just so much fun to talk to! We had a few requests for our music & he incorporated them flawlessly. He had EVERYONE on the dance floor for the ENTIRE night! People who hadn't danced at a wedding in years were on the floor with us (my uncle emailed me & told me he hadn't been on a dance floor in 30 years!!) We had people coming up to us during the wedding to compliment the DJ & people kept talking it well past the wedding date. All we wanted was for people to have fun and Chris was instrumental in that, it was the most fun night of my life. We also used his photobooth, which was so cute and our guests loved it.

    Best DJ ever!

    Chris is so easy to work with and so good at his job. He provided mics and music for the ceremony as well as the reception. The ceremony I could not even tell I was speaking into a mic. It's just subtle enough so that everyone can hear, you won't feel like you are on a stage. My husband and I made a Spotify playlist for our wedding music and Chris worked with our list and damn did we dance. Everyone told me that had never been to a wedding with such good music. People were dancing all night me especially! Your may think a DJ is a crazy expense but I can assure you of you hire Chris it's a worthwhile one. The whole day will go smoother with a DJ to help direct the guests and provide the proper musical ques. Absolutely hire Chris he's simply the best.

    Best Wedding DJ!

    When it comes time to book your DJ, look no further and choose Chris Marx! We received compliments all throughout the week about how awesome the atmosphere was, and we must specially thank Chris Marx for this! He is a preferred vendor of a lot of places in the area, and the second we booked with him we could tell why. Chris is so up to date on all the latest technology so when it came time to make payments and changes, they were immediate and seamless. We chose him for our reception early in the planning process, but about 3 weeks prior to our wedding day I needed to book music last minute for the ceremony, he was able to add that service on with no problem. During that same meeting he answered all my questions before I could even ask them! That night was seriously the best night of my life. He had to line everyone up for introductions, all 25 of us, it can be overwhelming to do that and he did it with no problem and stuck to the timeline. Some DJs I have seen in the past try to steal the show and Chris just made it all about my Husband and I. He played any requests that we had and had every single person up dancing the whole night! We are so happy we chose Chris, he had the best attitude and fit right in with our crowd! If you are looking for a professional DJ with the perfect mix of music for your wedding, you have to choose Chris Marx!!!!!!

    We had a blast!

    We used Chris for our wedding recently and can not give him enough praise. We knew we wanted to work with him as soon as we first talked to him. He really listened to what we wanted and had great suggestions on how to accomplish it. He had an answer for every single one of our questions leading up to the day, and was so fun to work with the day of! He was engaged and on top of everything and it really helped make our day. We'd absolutely recommend him and would 100% work with him again for future events!

    Amazing DJ with an awesome photobooth!

    My husband and I had Chris Marx recently DJ our wedding and I can't say enough good things about him! Our guests were up and dancing all night long and I had a BLAST. He was able to perfectly read the dance floor and play the best songs - he really listened to us and understood the vibe we were looking for. He made the planning process so easy and I felt like I never had to worry about anything - and I was right! Chris was there early setting up for cocktail hour and played relaxing music throughout. He perfectly opened up the dance floor for the night - even catering towards our younger guests at the wedding. His MC skills were great and the transitions betweens entrances, first dances, garter/bouquet toss, etc was perfect. We also used him for our Photo Booth and our guests had so much fun - we even received a USB with all the pictures that same night. We can't say enough good things about Chris - you definitely will NOT go wrong booking with him!!

    Truly excellent! Chris saved our ceremony and got our guests dancing!

    We worked with Chris Marx and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a flexible DJ and photobooth! He was super easy to work with before our big day and made the process of selecting music very painless. On the day of, it rained and we lost power right before the ceremony. Chris saved our ceremony by having a generator and quickly setting it up! Thanks to Chris, we were able to play all of our pre-selected music for the ceremony and our officiant was able to use a mic. During the reception, Chris was MC and really did an excellent job at keeping people's attention and getting people dancing! He also supplied the photo booth (at a tiny extra cost) and a book for people to place their photos, which turned into our guestbook! Thanks, Chris, for helping to make our wedding day one of the best days of our lives!

    Excellent wedding DJ and photo booth

    From our first call with Chris, we knew we were in good hands. I heard about him through a friend of a friend who said they had the absolute best wedding DJ. Intrigued, I did some research online and found stellar reviews everywhere I looked. Chris was so professional and easy to work with. His online system for putting in all the reception details, bridal party names, requested songs, etc. is a testament to just how many weddings he has done and that he knows his stuff. When our reception finally arrived, we were so impressed by Chris’ ability to read the crowd. Once the cake was cut, the dance floor was packed for two straight hours. Everyone had a great time and complimented the DJ. We also used Chris’ photo booth and the attendant was so friendly and helpful. Our guests loved it and it was such a great value. Booking a photo booth through another company would have been much more expensive. Marx Event Group was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day. If you’re looking for your wedding to be a great party, hire Chris. You will not regret it.

    Dance Competition Success

    Chris was great to work with! He kept everyone dancing all night long at our wedding! Our 4 year old nephew would not stop dancing until Chris announced him the winner of the dance competition. He called my 13 year old daughter up to do some DJing/scratching. She was my maid of honor and a bit nervous about her speech. Chris talked to her beforehand and helped to calm her down and walk her through what she needed to do. Our venue had several rooms Chris had to keep up with and he managed flawlessly. He was able to find some rather obscure songs we wanted played for ceremony and reception. I wasn't sure how he'd fit them but he did. He kept the dancing/party flowing all night long! He also provided our photo booth which was a hit with everyone. Our photo booth attendant, Chris, was awesome and everyone loved him!

    Unparalleled!!!

    As someone who has attended 9 weddings in 2 years I would like to start out by saying nothing compared to Chris! He was always easily accessible either by phone of email....his system for reservations and payment is flawless....his roll with the flow personality was essential to the hiccups of our wedding! And you absolutely MUST reserve the photo booth! He has a bunch of backgrounds and a hundred photo strip designs and he brings his own props...there is no way your event cant coordinate with his options! I left him a simple note on a chair and that was that! He setup perfectly and was remarkably respectful even though my wedding party constantly talked over him! Simply I could not have asked for a better DJ! I unfortunately dont remember the photo booth operators name (I'm so sorry) but he was AMAZING as well! Super helpful and he hung onto copies of mine and my grooms photo strips until the end so we didn't have to keep track of them! That was just fabulous!!! The photo booth is and "open air" style, which means it's a camera setup in front of a backdrop, no curtain, or tiny box, this allows more people to get into the shot, and he was able to angle the camera to capture some of my wheelchair bound guests!!!

    Best dj ever

    There are weddings, and then there are CHRIS MARX WEDDINGS. From the very beginning Chris was incredibly professional but also personable. He understood the stress of wedding planning and made the entire process incredibly smooth and simple. He listened to us and our requests and knew when to provide advice. Because of his expertise I knew we could rely on him with mics, schedules, lights, and sounds. Speaking of sounds, his entire system at the ceremony and reception was perfect. Chris as an MC was INCREDIBLE. The entire nights was about the bride and groom, and he knew it. He was able to get people up and moving in no time. That proved to be no trouble as he dropped beats all night. He flowed seamlessly through songs making it a huge dance party! He even sprinkled in some trollings with Christmas music as that was the groom's favorite. And to top it all of, without any requests, he allowed the best man to give a thrilling rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody and ended the night on the Eagles Fights Song (a staple for any true fan!). We’ve been to a lot of weddings, and we can say without a doubt that Chris is leaps and bounds ahead of them all. His professionalism, humor, timing, musical knowledge, and overall personality made him easy to work with. I would want to plan another wedding just to have him as a DJ again. THere are not enough words to describe how amazing Chris and his team are. 6 out of 5 stars

    Chris DJed my 6/2/18 wedding in Cape May and he was phenomenal! Not only is he the nicest, sweetest guy, but he was extremely thorough during the planning process and made me feel completely at ease going into my wedding day. I dreamed of walking down the aisle to a specific version of the wedding march and Chris tracked it down for me. He carried out every request my husband and I had and played fantastic music all day long. When he found out my family and I are huge Philadelphia Eagles fans, Chris surprised us and created one of my favorite moments of the day by playing the Eagles fight song during the reception. I couldn't recommend him enough!
