    Amazing wedding DJ!

    It has been such a joy to work with John and Cyndi. They went above and beyond to ensure the event ran smoothly and John was an amazing emcee. I highly recommend Dance Syndicate! :)

    40th Anniversary Celebration

    My husband and I were exceptionally happy with everything about Dance Syndicate. From the first exploratory phone call to follow up calls prior to the event. We never worried about the music and keeping the party moving! We would use them again!!

    Best Day Ever!!

    It is not often my wife and I can let total control of anything go. With John and Cyndi, we did just that! We used their timeline and let John play whatever music he felt. The dance floor was full all night long and the timeline we followed with them, made it feel like we were dancing the whole reception!! We cannot give a higher recommendation or approval for Dance Syndicate services. Just know, if you want to have the best day ever, they must be a part of that day!!

    So happy we chose Dance Syndicate for our wedding!

    We cannot say enough great things about having Dance Syndicate provide DJ and master of ceremony services for our backyard wedding. Cyndi and John were easy to work with for planning, and Mark was a fantastic DJ the day of the wedding. Every element went smoothly and guests of all ages enjoyed dancing into the night! Would highly recommend Dance Syndicate to a friend for their wedding!

    The DJ for Eclectic Tastes and Mosh Pits

    “We love music, and we don’t want the standard top 40 at our wedding”- that was our introduction to John, the DJ at Dance Syndicate. During the interview process, John and Cyndi took their time to get to know our musical taste and our love story. With an easy “fill-in-the-blanks” schedule where we plugged in songs for dances, and their presence on Spotify for any playlist you want them to mix up, Dance Syndicate was the best choice to keep the life of the party going. I gave them a playlist that had more than enough music and John knew exactly what to do with that! From the entrance to the first dance, to the big party on the dance floor, everyone’s attention was held, and the dance floor was never empty… there’s not many weddings that can say this, but there was a mosh pit at ours! Dance Syndicate comes with our highest recommendation!

    Highly recommend!

    We cannot overstate how much we loved working with John and Cyndi. From the first meeting we could tell they are very experienced and love what they do. They genuinely cared about making our wedding great and man John came through! We've been to many weddings and never had a MC/DJ like John, the music created the right ambiance at all times and John had so many tricks up his sleeves to rally up a great mood for our guests, he had us cracking up all day! John made a world of difference for our wedding, we were so lucky to have found him and you would be too!

    The Party Never Stopped!

    John, Cyndi, and their team provided the best DJ services we could ask for! They took time to get to know us and our music tastes, as well as helped us better understand how to create the best possible timeline for our special day. Their team is always available for questions and knows our venue (Castle Green) inside and out! The day of, we did not have a care in the world as John kept the timeline on track and the party going all night. His seamless transitions between parts of the ceremony and reception made the day flow perfectly! We are so grateful for their team and cannot recommend Dance Syndicates highly enough!

    John & Dance Syndicate are wonderful, making our parties special!

    I am so happy to have found John & Dance Syndicate a few years ago and use him and Mark for all of our events. Our last event had almost 300 people and John was wonderful. I received so many compliments from attendees telling me that John truly made the party special. Thank you again John and Mark!

    Amazing MC and very professional

    Johnny is an absolute amazing MC. He has a wide variety of music and it extremely good at getting everyone on the dance floor. My family has used Johnny for multiple weddings and we are happy with his work every time! Cyndi is amazing at creating a timeline and making sure everything runs smoothly in the planning process. If you book, you will not be disappointed!

    Book Now, You will not regret it!

    I cannot say enough great things about my experience, booking them was the best decision I could have made. From our first meeting with John & Cyndi, we knew they were the perfect fit for us and were ready to make sure that our special day was everything we dreamed of, and they did not disappoint. Leading up to the wedding they made sure that our timeline was in perfect order and ready to share with all others needed. They communicated to all other parties to make sure everything was in order, and I just felt so relieved that I was not having to stress about any of it. Wedding Day... It was perfect! John did everything as imaged and more. A month later and everyone is still talking about how amazing and fun our wedding was, and that is all thanks to John. Best decision I made was to book them! Working with them both was an absolute pleasure.

    Wonderful experience! Great with kids and families

    Cyndi, John, and Mark were the best to work with! We hired them for our son's bar mitzvah. Cyndi and John took a lot of time to explain their services and plan the day with us. Mark was our DJ on the day of the event and he was fabulous at getting the kids and adults up, dancing, playing games, and having fun! Many guests commented to us how great he was and good with the kids--he truly made the party! We would 100% hire them again to for any future event.

    John & Cindy Kept the Party Going

    John was our DJ for our wedding at the LA County Arboretum on 7/9/23. We had booked live music for the ceremony and the cocktail hour and Carlos at the Arboretum recommended Dance Syndicate for the dancefloor. We're so happy he did!

    We had a lunch meeting with John and his wife Cindy and immediately clicked. They were incredibly personable, had all sorts of templates to help with planning, and were quick to give recommendations when we were walking through the music we liked. Our playlist was pretty eclectic and John did a great job making it flow and getting the crowd going.

    John and Cindy were very on top of all communication and super helpful in figuring out tiny details. They jumped in to help us plan a mother-son polka that was a big hit. They even took special care to play certain songs in honor of my parents, who have passed away, at specific points in the night. They also get MASSIVE points for playing the Dropkick Murphys and Sweet Caroline without being asked - my big Boston family loved it!

    John was even kind enough to help our friends playing the ceremony and cocktail hour with their equipment, and act as an MC throughout the night. We couldn't recommend Dance Syndicate more!

    Incredible DJ!

    John and Cyndi were absolutely outstanding! They were a pleasure to work with and so helpful in coordinating our reception timeline. John put together a great set based on our interests and got people dancing! Cyndi was so kind, helpful, and responsive. We'd book them again!

    Epic wedding dj

    John & Cyndi were incredible!! Our favorite vendor we worked with for our wedding. They went above and beyond to make sure we had the perfect music & set up from the moment the guests arrive until the last song of the night. I have never seen a dance floor so wild!! there was not a moment where the dance floor stopped. We gave a vibe of what type of music we wanted and he ran with it, it was perfect for our crowd and everyone raved about the DJ the next day at our brunch. John even went as far as checking on us to make sure we had food and drinks all night.
    100% recommend John for your wedding (or any other event for that matter)

    The Kind of Personality You're Looking For

    John Villa is more than just a DJ. He brings positive vibes with him wherever he goes. He brings the right kind of atmosphere to the party. He's encouraging and soulful. It doesn't hurt that he hits those sound effects buttons at the right time every time. I'm one of those people who are dedicated to rehiring John every year for our event if the people I work for allow it. John & Cyndi, if you see this - Thank you for being you!!!!

    Dancing in the moonlight!

    We want to start by saying that Dance Syndicate is a phenomenal team. Johnny & Cyndi made a genuine effort to get to know us and execute our vision to capture the vibe we wanted for our wedding. Johnny is a true master of ceremonies. He did a fantastic job of directing the energy of the night. He was quick and adaptable to our timeline and the setbacks that inevitably arise, no matter how much time and planning you put into an event. It ended up raining on our wedding night while being outdoors. All of our guests were embracing the rain and dancing the night away, and Johnny put on “It’s Raining Men,” which was hilarious and so fitting. He kept the momentum going, and there wasn’t a single person not out moving on the dance floor. Everyone had a blast!

    It truly makes a difference to have someone who authentically cares, along with having the confidence and intuition needed to read the room and keep the party going. Johnny is that person! He had great instincts when choosing the order of songs to keep the pace and the energy of the evening moving along in the right way. Cyndi was an integral part of the planning. She didn’t miss a single detail and was readily available if we had any questions, concerns, or song change requests related to our timeline.

    Cyndi and Johnny are incredibly charismatic human beings, and it was a pleasure to work with them. We cannot recommend and rave more about them and how extremely grateful we were to have their outstanding services be a part of our special day.

    Couldn't Have Asked for a Better DJ

    John and Cyndi were an absolute joy to work with when compiling the music and overall "vibe" of our wedding. They understood exactly what were looking for and even threw in suggestions that elevated what we had in mind! They were kind, communicative, and just so easy to work with and I can't recommend them enough!

    We found John through a family member and they recommended his dj services for our wedding. It was an amazing experience and never a dull moment. His attention to detail is wonderful and we will recommend his services to anyone

    John started us off on an incredible note!

    John went above and beyond to accommodate us. He was the first vendor we spoke to, and the last one we said goodbye to on the big night. Every meeting with John left my wife and I more and more excited about the big day, and he delivered to an amazing degree. His music kept everyone dancing and his MCing kept our entire schedule smooth. I cannot recommend this DJ more!

    Best DJ ever!

    DJ John and his wife Cyndi are the best! They drove over an hour for our first meeting and really made wedding planning fun. John went above and beyond figuring out what kind of music we liked, listening to lengthy Spotify playlists that we had made and including all of it during the reception. He’s excellent at knowing what to play to get your guests onto the dance floor, people were dancing all night!

    Best DJ to get the party going!

    John and Cyndi were absolutely wonderful during the entire wedding planning process. We found them on the list of preferred vendors at our venue and could not be happier with the result. We met a couple times during the year of planning and it was so easy to communicate last minute changes leading up to the big day. John was great at directing the flow of events and really understood our music preference choices to get the party going! Highly recommend John and Cyndi if you are looking for kind people who care, and know how to have fun!

    Best Wedding DJ Ever!!!

    John and Cyndi are truly the best in the business and represent so much more than a wedding DJ. They met with us several times in the year leading up to our wedding and helped us to plan most of our reception and ceremony, including the timing and structure of both. They were so enthusiastic about the planning that it made us even more excited for our big day. They even called us the night before our wedding to see how we were doing, make sure we weren’t nervous or anxious, and give us advice on how to best prepare for the day. As for the wedding, itself, it went flawlessly thanks to John and Cyndi’s ability to keep everything organized and on time, and they did so without making anything feel rushed. John is the best hype-man I’ve ever met and kept everyone at the wedding excited and energized the entire night. Almost every person at the wedding reached out to us the next day to say that it was one of the most fun dance floors they had ever been a part of. We truly can’t imagine what the day would have been like without John and Cyndi, and we are so grateful that we were lucky enough to have them there.

    Simply Amazing!

    John and Cyndi are so amazing. I planned our wedding in about 2 months and I was so stressed out before speaking with them. After our first phone conversation I started feeling so much better! They had the perfect time line for the wedding, and had things I haden't even thought of yet!

    Where our wedding was held at a hotel that normally doesn't host the ceremony but did for us. At our rehearsal, John and Cyndi took the lead because the hotel staff dont typically run the rehearsals.

    They were such a big help the day of! Our ceromony was supposed to be outside but due to rain we had to move indoors. Super felxible with that last minute switch.

    So friendly with everyone at the wedding. I am still getting told the music was so great and everyone had such a great time. The dance floor was never empty. I have already refered them to a friend getting married later this year. 100/10 recommend!!!!

    Absolutely Fantastic!

    John and Cyndi were so friendly and easy to work with. They're organized, flexible, communicative, and friendly. They worked super well with all of our other vendors to create a seamless experience for us and for our guests. John did a fantastic job of combining our musical tastes with the energy he read from our guests that night, and his engagement with the guests (as well as his attentiveness to the schedule and flow throughout the night) made the perfect party for everyone! I recommend him to anyone and everyone considering a DJ for their wedding!

    Amazing Experience!!!

    You will not be disappointed when you hire John to provide the best tunes and entertainment for your reception! My husband and I hired John to provide the entertainment for our reception, and he was nothing short of amazing. He is so personable, funny, and got the party going! He was so easy to work with from the very beginning. From setting up meetings, to discussing our wants and needs. I would highly recommend you use him for your wedding or event! We are so happy we did, and our guests are still telling us how much fun they had at our wedding. Thank you John, for ALL that you did for us! We are so grateful!
