Best vibes
If you are looking for a great wedding DJ, you have to hire James. He completely nailed the music for our July 4th wedding. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the perfect cocktail hour and dinner vibes, and the dance floor was incredible. What we appreciated most was his flexibility; he seamlessly blended our different music vibes and effortlessly handled our many requests, including a spontaneous mid-wedding singalong with a mic and everything. James also MC’d our event and kept us and our guests at ease as we transitioned through toasts and dinner. I had the time of my life on the dance floor. Highly recommend hiring James! -

James is the best!
If you are choosing a DJ...GO WITH JAMES!!! Even a year later, our family and friends can’t stop talking about how great the DJ was and how he kept the vibe going the whole night! James was the absolute best and so easy to work with. He is very talented, detail-oriented, and his communication is as good as it gets. He worked closely with us on the flow of the evening, and he is so experienced and smooth in his approach that we had the utmost trust and faith in him and he absolutely delivered! He read the room from start to finish and had the dance floor going all night. You will not be disappointed – he’s the best! -

Highly recommend!
We have nothing but good things to say about our experience working with James for our wedding. James is a true pro who clearly cares deeply about the craft of DJing weddings specifically – which entails so much more than just crafting a great dance set, though he's highly skilled at that part, too. Among other things, my wife and I really appreciated how he struck a balance between honoring our preferences (even our most eccentric requests, like playing a specific remix from a random Boiler Room set) and guiding us based on his experience (e.g., encouraging us to make sure we had enough music to appeal to our older guests). We're so glad we had James on our side through our whole wedding, from ceremony to last song! -

DJ James Mulry is the best !!!
James was out-of-this world great as our DJ for our wedding at the Bowery Hotel! From our very first zoom meeting, James was such a pleasure to work with; all the way through to my wife and I's first dance, we couldn't be happier. His music taste is impeccable, he is a total pro at collaborating with other vendors, and exploring how to include your favorite music in your event was a blast. Most importantly for us, James set the tone for the evening as an MC in a way I am truly grateful for. I cannot recommend him highly enough — if you book James for your event, you'll be in the best hands.-

A Multicultural Wedding
James was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding, and we'd heard the same from everyone we spoke to beforehand. He has a genuine gift for reading a room and shifting the energy exactly when it needs to, and he understood what we wanted for every part of the night. We built playlists and sent them over, and he helped us rearrange and refine them once he understood the vibe we were going for in each moment. He was generous with planning conversations whenever we asked, helped us coordinate our timeline after we presented it, and made sure our ceremony was everything we ever dreamed of! He handled all the major moments: ceremony, first dance, parent dances, and every transition in between. He provided full sound setup, mics, and speakers for the ceremony, and for cocktail hour at the hotel's lobby bar he supplied an iPad to run our playlist. He did the right amount of letting the music speak for itself, but when he did speak and MC, he brought real energy every time with exactly what we wanted.
What set James apart from other DJs was his wide range of music. We had a multicultural celebration, and he moved seamlessly between English, Arabic, Hungarian, and Spanish songs so that there was something for everyone. He coordinated with our Middle Eastern dance troupe / drummers. He is clearly knowledgeable about every genre and cultural element we threw at him, and you can tell he loves what he does. Our dance floor was full all night. We can't recommend him enough for a wedding or any event where you need someone who will deliver an amazing music experience. -

Cannot be beat!
We are so thrilled that James was our wedding DJ! He could not have done better. He was incredibly thorough and communicative leading up to our wedding so we had no doubts or stress on the day. James made very clear and helpful announcements when needed, and most importantly, multiple guests have told us that the music was the best they've ever had at a wedding! James had the perfect mix of older and younger songs to get everyone on the dance floor at different points in the reception, and we had many dancers going all night. He is truly the best! -

Perfect Wedding DJ
James was the perfect DJ for our April wedding at the Wythe Hotel. From the start, he took the time to meet with us multiple times to really understand the exact vibe we wanted for every part of the day—from pre-ceremony and the ceremony itself to cocktail hour, dinner, and the dance floor.
He absolutely nailed every moment. Not only did he deliver an amazing soundtrack throughout the night, but he was also an incredible MC who helped keep everything organized, on schedule, and running smoothly.
One of the biggest highlights was the dance floor. We’ve all been to weddings where getting people up and dancing feels impossible, but James had our friends and family on the dance floor for most of the night. He read the room perfectly and kept the energy up while still making the music feel true to us. He also worked in some of our more unique song requests seamlessly, which made the playlist feel even more personal.
If you’re looking for a wedding DJ who is talented, organized, easy to work with, and truly tailors the music to your style, James is an amazing choice. As an added bonus, he even went above and beyond his DJ duties by giving us honeymoon recommendations—just the cherry on top of an already fantastic experience. -

Best Wedding DJ Ever!
Hiring James as our DJ was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! We booked James as one of our first vendors after seeing amazing reviews online and are SO happy we did so. His well-organized wedding music worksheet was a perfect way for us to track our thoughts on cocktail hour/dinner/dancing songs as well as ceremony music/first dance songs over the course of our engagement, and we loved that we had a living document to make edits to over the months.
On the day of, James truly created the playlist of our dreams – our wedding guests are still raving over how good the dance floor was. He did a phenomenal job of adjusting the music vibe to fit the energy on the dance floor, moving seamlessly between new pop, mid-2010s pop, country, pop punk, alternative, and classics (just as we had hoped!). He was great about being flexible and running with changes to the day of schedule – he was able to accommodate a last-minute request after I realized that I wanted my processional song to start slightly later after doing the ceremony rehearsal, and was able to shift gears after speeches ran long and we had less time for a dance set. We also gave him “DJ’s choice” for the last song, and he absolutely killed it. Cannot recommend him enough if you want guests to be on the dance floor all night long! -

Couldn't recommend enough
James did our wedding in May and he was such a professional - he went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly. He even alerted us to a bike race happening the weekend of our wedding so that people could adjust their driving time! He got the musical vibe perfect and people were dancing all night (which is what we wanted). Many of our friends talked about him afterwards and what a great energy he set for our day. -

Amazing wedding DJ
We felt confident we had picked the right wedding DJ from our first meeting--James was organized, had online playlists we could reference, and clearly loved music deeply.
What we didn't know was that he would make 90 people, across different generations, music tastes, and fondness of dancing feel connected by the music he played, seamlessly blending our requests with his own perfect choices. He made an incredibly fun, emotive, and beautiful soundtrack to dance to. If you have the chance to hire him for an event, I highly recommend working with him. -

A must hire!
We originally hired James from the glowing reviews we saw here and on Reddit. From the start, we could tell he knew his stuff and really listened to us. We have been to too many weddings where the bad music completely ruined the vibe.
Leading up to the day, he was communicative & professional. Day of went unbelievably smooth! So many guests came up to us and remarked how incredible the music was and we were dancing all night. He took many on our list, but also mixed in some of his own that matched our tastes. One of my personal favorite moments is when he came up to ask if he should play a request that one of our guests made, which totally didn't match our vibe. I appreciated that he clocked that and asked me!
We had a fabulous time and he was a large part of it! Highly recommend hiring him! -

Truly the MVP of Our Wedding, 12/10 Experience
We didn’t realize how important the DJ would be to the overall flow and energy of our wedding until we worked with James. From our first conversation, he was incredibly professional, organized, and thoughtful. He helped us plan every musical detail, from guest arrival and the ceremony to cocktail hour, dinner, and the dance floor, and ensured the timing, transitions, and tone were seamless.
He made the planning process so easy and collaborative. He encouraged us to create a playlist of songs that represented our style and favorites, then curated a custom set that felt uniquely us. It never felt like a typical wedding playlist; it felt like our wedding.
James also went above and beyond during the reception, helping set up and test microphones and speakers for our speeches to make sure everything sounded perfect. What really stood out was how much he thought about every detail. He even helped us strategize how to get people on the dance floor by assigning a few “kick-off” guests to start the party, and sure enough, it was packed all night. The dance floor energy was incredible, and we’re still getting messages from friends and family asking for his info and saying it was some of the best wedding music they’ve ever heard.
From start to finish, James delivered a flawless experience and went above and beyond to make our day perfect. If you’re getting married at Audrey’s Farmhouse, or anywhere, honestly, hire him. You won’t regret it. 12/10 across the board. -

Best wedding DJ you'll find!
James was an incredible DJ for our wedding!! From our first call with him, we loved how organized he was and how thoughtful he was about crafting a wedding experience that reflected the tone we wanted for the day. He coordinated the audio for our ceremony flawlessly, the flow of events through the day was so smooth, and most importantly he did an amazing job of both listening to our _ and reading the room in a way that kept the dance floor full! We loved his mixes and transitions between songs. We're still getting compliments weeks after our wedding from all types of guests spanning all ages and musical tastes. Hire James!! -

James knows how to throw a party!!
We have only good things to say about James! From our very first conversation with him, we knew that he was going to be the perfect partner in creating an incredible night. We knew from the beginning of our planning process that we wanted to have a reception that included both a dance floor and karaoke, but we didn’t know the best way to execute it. In our first meeting with James, he presented a plan for how to make the combination of the two activities work together and we felt immediately at ease, knowing that he had both the experience and the creativity to bring our idea to life. Beyond the ideas for the dance floor, he also shared more general advice on how we might structure our day, sharing his experience and expertise in a way that was genuinely helpful and affirming.
We were also grateful for his extensive experience at our venue - Brooklyn Grange Navy Yard - which we had been told could be tricky to navigate in terms of technical needs. The first-hand knowledge that he possessed of the venue gave us confidence to focus on the big picture instead of worrying about minute details. We felt thrilled knowing the technical aspects in addition to the artistic/party vibes were in excellent hands!
In the lead up to the event, James shared a very comprehensive worksheet for us to fill out, which not only helped us envision the party we wanted to throw, but the overall experience of the day. As we finalized details with James, he was very thoughtful in ensuring that our vision was well executed, and also taking into consideration the needs of our guests. He asked questions that revealed his clear experience and desire to make sure EVERYONE had a great time at our wedding.
On the day of the wedding, James had clear mastery of the AV domain, setting up equipment for both the ceremony and party. During our ceremony, he had even worked with our officiant to play some fun sound effects during a light-hearted moment.
For the reception, James delivered a party!! He immediately locked in on the vibe of our guests, playing songs that kept everyone on the dance floor, singing along at the tops of their lungs, and dancing full out. And the karaoke we mentioned? It was flawlessly executed! James suggested we have sets of dancing broken up by karaoke, and that structure worked incredibly well. It gave everyone a chance to take a break from the dance floor if they wanted, but as the night went on, no one left the dance floor, screaming along to karaoke, and treating the karaoke sets as if they were a standard set! He also did an incredible job balancing the karaoke songs played - mixing pop punk with musical theatre and 80s hits in a way that kept everyone fully engaged (even if the particular song wasn’t their style). He also found the perfect moment for a “screamo” karaoke number that left all our guests slack-jawed in the best possible way. We had no idea how everything would work on the day of, but James delivered and helped us create one of the most memorable nights of our friends, family’s, and our lives. We were SO blown away at how clear it was that James understood both us and our guests. Our last song of the night was James’ choice, and we will never forget him playing “Pink Pony Club” as we were surrounded by a circle of our closest loved ones (our entire guest list stayed until the very end, a true testament to James’ talent!!).
Finally, James was a true joy to work with! He is genuine, personable, and cares about his clients. Aside from his recommendations on the wedding itself, he took the time to share local events and locations to experience while on our honeymoon. He brought so much energy to our wedding, and entered every conversation with kindness and thoughtfulness that gave us confidence in his ability. Multiple friends told us that it was the most fun wedding they had attended and there is no doubt in our minds that James is a HUGE reason why. We could not recommend working with James more!! -

James Will Take Your Wedding Higher
We could not be happier with our choice to go with James as our wedding DJ. In addition to his encyclopedic knowledge of music, he also brings the perfect balance of fun and a professional approach to curating the wedding experience (not just the music) you’re envisioning. If you’re looking for a DJ who doesn’t just hit play or make hard cuts between songs, James is the DJ for you. James blends the songs togther in a seamless, thoughtful and tasteful way. His playlist was a perfect mix of the songs nearest and dearest to us and kept true to our vibe with the songs he filled in. Friends even asked for the playlist!
James also played a big part in helping our wedding ceremony shine. He provided top-notch audio support - both for our officiant and our processional, recessional music. We were well taken care of during one of the most intimate moments of the wedding day.
Your DJ is also your reception MC and James did a terrific job with that part of the evening as well. The night always felt on track thanks to James’ steering and coordination with our venue staff. He checked in with us throughout the wedding night, making our speakers comfortable, ensuring our conga line stayed on track, and so much more.
Working with James in the lead-up to the wedding was also seamless and a fun process. He provided ample guidance and structure, but also enough breathing room to support us as our vision for the wedding evolved. We had a blast working with James! We can’t recommend him enough for your wedding or event! -

Couldn’t ask for a better DJ and MC!
We could not have asked for a better DJ than James! He was the perfect mix of professional and organized, but also incredibly creative, fun, and a true artist. I actually handle a lot of large scale events for my day job, and it’s incredibly rare to find someone who excels in both the creative and the technical, but James is the complete package.
He went above and beyond to accommodate last-minute changes; my parents were going back and forth on whether they’d participate in the toast / parent dances, and he handled it with so much flexibility and grace. He also thought of the smallest details, like how to position the mic for each person and which sorts of transitions would work in between each toast.
James also paid close attention to our vows and surprised us with one awesome song in particular that referenced back to them. It was incredibly thoughtful!
He also collaborated incredibly well with our live sax player — they worked beautifully together in no small part to James’ leadership and initiative with the sound set up.
On top of all that, James was a fantastic MC, keeping the flow smooth and the vibes absolutely perfect. Our guests had the best time, and we’re so grateful to him for making the night unforgettable. Highly, highly recommend! -

James couldn't have been a better DJ to work with. From the start, he was receptive to our vision for our wedding vibe while also giving recommendations for what would work best. He was extremely accommodating with unique music requests, which truly brought our party to the next level. After our wedding, one of the first things our guests complimented us was how great James was the entire night! -

James Made Our Wedding an Epic Celebration!
James was incredible. His communication leading up to the wedding was clear, responsive, and super professional—he made everything really easy. On the day, he read the room perfectly and nailed the vibe we were going for. The dance floor was packed the entire night and turned into the epic dance party we’d been dreaming of.
Multiple guests have told us he’s the best wedding DJ they’ve ever seen—and we completely agree! Thanks again, James! -

James is the best ever
Working with James as our DJ was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day! From the very beginning of the planning process, James was such a joy to work with. He was incredibly helpful in mapping out the flow of our reception and made it so easy for us to share our must-play list, no-play list, and overall vibe we were going for. His attention to detail and organization took so much pressure off of us and allowed us to fully enjoy the experience. On the wedding day itself, James absolutely blew our expectations out of the water. He perfectly curated the cocktail hour with the exact vibe we had envisioned, then seamlessly transitioned into dinner and dancing music that couldn’t have been more spot-on. The dance floor was packed the entire night — our guests of all ages kept commenting on how incredible the music was and how every single person knew and loved the songs being played. Truly no one wanted to leave the dance floor!
One of the most special and thoughtful moments came during the Best Man speech. Our Best Man mentioned a song we used to always listen to back in college. Without us even requesting it, as soon as the speech ended and we hugged our Best Man, James played that song — just from catching it in the speech. It was such a small but incredibly meaningful detail, and so many of our friends noticed and commented on how sweet and personal that moment was.
We truly can't recommend James enough — he was one of the absolute best decisions we made for our wedding and helped make the day so memorable and fun. If you're looking for a DJ who is professional, thoughtful, and knows how to keep the party going all night long, James is your guy!-

We are so glad we worked with James for our wedding–he was super flexible, responsive, and easy to work with. Our taste in music is all over the place and he was able to create a cohesive playlist with music from 5+ languages that worked for us, our friends, and family (not an easy task). Even other vendors told us that they thought the DJ was doing an incredible job! -

How James Made Our Wedding Unforgettable (And Kept Everyone Dancing!)
Music and the venue were the biggest priorities for our wedding, so finding the right DJ was a top priority—especially since I’m a music lover and wanted someone who could truly bring our vision to life. James absolutely nailed it! He was organized, professional, and easy to work with from the start. He seamlessly mixed everything from soul and 90s R&B to early 2000s and modern hits, keeping the dance floor packed all night.
We had a special request for James to work with a live band performing a short set during the reception, and he coordinated with them effortlessly, ensuring the transition was flawless. James also proved to be a technical expert, handling sound design with multiple mics and making sure every detail—from speeches to music—sounded perfect. Plus, he delivered a full audio recording of the event within a week, letting us relive those amazing moments all over again.
Beyond his skills, James is just a fun, positive person to have around. He brought incredible energy to the celebration, and that made the experience even better. We couldn’t be happier with James—he played a huge role in making our wedding unforgettable! -

James Mulry was the best decision we made!
I have no notes for James Mulry. My wedding (devastatingly on Nov 7th, a day after the election results) was the best day of our lives, largely because of the artistry, professionalism, and overall excellent vibe that James was able to create on our day.
Firstly, I had an amazing introductory chat with him for nearly an hour where he joyfully and patiently answered all my questions and gave a detailed idea of how the night would go. He was so kind and present, I really felt like I was dealing with a peer and not just someone who wanted to book their next gig.
James dealt with my EXCESSIVE Do Not Play list (I mistakenly made it way, WAY too long) and he handled it with creativity and joy; he was happy to take on the challenge and of course included all of my "must plays". He mixed a lot of fun latin music for me + my family, classic rock for my fiancé and I'd dads, plenty of modern pop dance music for us and our friends, and SOMEHOW managed to get everyone dancing to my fiancé's favorite band the Grateful Dead at the end. It was truly unreal, the diversity of genres he packed seamlessly into one night. Best playlist ever. (I still listen to it!) I didn't leave the dance floor all night, and it was largely packed for most of the night, ending on the highest note. Dream dance floor come true.
Also, he has a really great tone/delivery as he emcees. He's not too performative or trying to get everyone overly "hype" in any contrived way- he's warm, professional, and happy- but lets his talent and music do the work for him. It was spectacular.
I can't say enough good things about James Mulry. One of the best decisions we made for our wedding. -

There's no one better!
There are not enough good things to say about James! My husband and I got married at Hayfield in upstate New York this past September and James was, without a doubt, one of the best decisions we made.
From our very first call, James' energy felt like an exact mirror of our own and we knew we had to work with him. Aside from being SO good at what he does, he's also thoughtful, prepared and just a great person to work with from start to finish. He's the very definition of a consummate pro!
James completely understood the vibe we were after and made our wedding the most fun party we have ever been to. We had some specific requests for our multi-generational, multi-cultural guests (like samba and more) and James masterfully transitioned from song to song. The result was music that felt like the perfect reflection of us as a couple and a dance floor that was packed the entire night. He couldn't have nailed our vision better if he tried!
After the wedding, James provided us with a live recording of our wedding set, which included speeches and toasts. We've listened to it a number of times since and are immediately transported right back to the best night of our lives. James, THANK YOU for this gift we'll now always treasure and for being so amazing at what you do. We are so thankful to have found you and are even more so to have had the opportunity to work with you!! -

The best of the best!
James is the best wedding DJ I've ever heard. Not only were we getting compliments on the dance floor mid wedding, we received multiple compliments after. He understood our story, what we liked, and wove it into his set. On top of that, he was communicative and professional. -

DJ James Brought the Party
We got married at the Brooklyn Grange in October of 2024 and had the best day, thanks in no small part to DJ James helping to create the perfect atmosphere and playlist. He is one of the Grange's recommended vendors and was very familiar with the setup of the space and managing the logistics of load-in. We had a bit of an eclectic wishlist for our songs, (including a custom mashup for our first dance) but also wanted to ensure all our guests had a good time and felt inspired to dance. James crafted a playlist wit the perfect balance and gave great recommendations for songs and order to avoid any jarring mood transitions. And of course the microphone, speakers, and sound all worked great for our ceremony and speeches. Highly recommend. -

Pick james as your dj!
DJ James was absolutely AMAZING you throughout the entire planning process, the actual wedding itself, and even with sending us the recording of the whole day. He truly went above and beyond as a vendor. When we initially met him, we knew that our vibes had matched. Then, casually, I was talking to coworker at work, and she asked me who our DJ was for our wedding, and I said "James Mulry", and she said (I quote), "OH MY GOD, DJ James was my DJ, and I want to get re-married just so I can have another wedding where James will DJ". Now that I've experienced DJ James magic both as a DJ on the wedding day and during the prep, I fully agree with my coworkers sentiment.
He was so helpful throughout the planning process and so generous with his time, opinions, etc. He helped us remember that with daylight savings, we'd miss the sunlight if we were to have the ceremony at 5pm. All these little details, he was so so helpful with, going way beyond his scope!
Lastly, the day of! The music and everything went so smoothly, and all my friends said they had an absolute blast. We had an absolute blast!
To end, we absolutely recommend DJ James, and hope that you reach out to him for your wedding and event! He was truly amazing to work with. Wedding planning is not easy, but DJ James made the music portion of the event so easy! -

Do yourself a favor and hire James for your wedding.
A packed dancefloor and high energy throughout the night was our number one priority, and it couldn’t have been done without James. From the second we signed on with him, he took the time to understand out taste in music, our vision for our wedding, and meticulously walked us through his process. In the weeks leading up to the day, he was in constant contact and made sure he was clear on every detail—even checking in with us periodically throughout the night to make sure we were enjoying ourselves.
You can tell James took time to read through our song requests, study it, and figure out exactly what would keep the energy high throughout the night. The dancefloor was quite literally never empty. Even down to the lighter music played during dinner—I don’t know how he did it but it’s as if he accessed our most listened to songs on Spotify and managed to curate a playlist of all our favorite music.
Looking back, there’s not a single thing we would have asked James to do differently. He understood the vision, he read the room incredibly well, and we received dozens of comments from guests about how much they loved the music. All around perfect DJ, and a really great person to top it off. Wedding planning can be stressful, so make your life easier and hire James. It will be the easiest and best decision you’ll make.

James is the best!
James was a truly exceptional DJ for our wedding in October 2023. He was far and away our favorite of the seven DJs we interviewed on the recommended vendors list shared by the Wythe Hotel. He made us both feel so comfortable, he was experienced handling a wide variety of social circumstances and musical preferences, and he was so familiar with and beloved by staff at the Wythe that they had him DJ their own internal events. This all paid off. In the run-up to our wedding, James jumped on multiple calls to help us think through our plans, including some tricky transitions we had envisioned, which he ended up executing beautifully. During the wedding, he checked with us regarding an unexpected speech request (which we said yes to) and advised us on the timeline to keep the evening on schedule. We highly recommend James to anyone looking for a DJ who feels both like a friend and a deeply experienced advisor who can smooth over any situation and make sure the celebration is a success. -

A perfect Picnic House wedding
We really couldn’t have imagined a better DJ for our October wedding at the Picnic House in Prospect Park than James. He is so organized, thoughtful, creative, and calm - making everything about the day being exactly as we hoped it would be and somehow even better. From planning through every detail of our ceremony and reception to managing and supporting two live bands to DJ’ing the best set. We can’t recommend him enough or thank him enough for an incredible process of planning and an absolutely perfect day. -

James gave us a BANGER of a wedding
James was honestly the best DJ and so integral to the dance party vibe! James was recommended by our venue in the Catskills, and after talking to him, we knew he would be the perfect choice for our wedding in late September 2024. He is charming and kind, and knows how to take the edge off, which was helpful when we were navigating day-of jitters and a last minute medical emergency. For planning, he has a thorough worksheet but also can work with as little guidance and go off the cuff. We provided lists of songs and genres/vibes, but limited must plays, and he executed perfectly. He also has a very in depth planning meeting a few weeks out to go through all details, sends back notes, and is very responsive through to the day. He even cut the first dance and parent dance music for us based on our limited comfort level with dancing. He traveled to our venue 3 hours away from Brooklyn with all of the equipment himself. He gets everything set up, and all guests sitting anywhere during the ceremony and reception could hear the sound crisply. He's also not cheesy like some other wedding DJs and was a very classy MC. We also had included Greek songs requests to kick-off the dance party, and he suggested additional songs based on his previous experiences. We had so much fun and our guests had so much fun! James really knows and understands his audience and picks songs to get people up and dancing, even ones we hadn't requested. Guests were shazaming songs left and right. He also completely reflected the vibe we wanted and the vision we had. He also had DJ's choice for the last song and played the perfect last song to end the night. We highly recommend selecting James, he was amazing and made our wedding day simply epic. -

Book James ASAP!
Once you've got your date and venue set, do yourself a favor and make sure your next call is to James!! He came highly recommended by the Wythe, our wedding venue (he DJ's their staff parties - that said it all to us!), and he was truly amazing. From a planning point of view, he made everything so easy. We had a lengthy form to fill out that covered absolutely everything, from music requests, to the timeline of the day, to pronunciation of our VIP's names. We loved knowing that absolutely everything was covered! From our initial Zoom call with him we knew we could totally trust him to "do his thing" - we gave him some genres (90s hip hop & RnB, please) and a few examples of songs we liked, and boy did he deliver. EVERY. SINGLE. SONG he chose was a 10/10. And that included some not so common Australian hits that wouldn't be on his usual rotation. On top of that, he MC's so naturally and kept the reception moving so smoothly. Our friends were on the dance floor the entire night (even chanting "one more song! one more song!" at the end) and that was truly the greatest gift. Thank you, James!! -

We love James!
We met James through our wedding planner friend and were so glad we did! We loved working with James leading up to our big day (so calm, cool, and collected) and dancing through the night. He was so thorough in every step of the day and we really appreciated how he incorporated Chinese songs for my family. James was also a great MC, keeping the night moving forward as we had to hit a few cultural traditions. If Rule of Thirds is your wedding venue, hire him! And if it's not, still hire him! -

A perfect wedding DJ!
James knocked it out of the park. He took our suggestions, mixed in some fun surprises, and kept everyone on the dance floor all night. He was super communicative and easy to talk to leading up to the night. We had full confidence that he would be great and then he was somehow even better than that! Couldn't recommend him more. -

Incredible DJ and person - hire James!
We cannot recommend James highly enough. His selections are unique and fun without being alienating, and he kept our dancefloor crowded the ENTIRE night. A month has passed since our wedding, and we still have guests (young and old) telling us it was the best music they've ever heard at a wedding. It's not hyperbole - he's that good!
On top of his skills as a DJ, he's incredibly organized, professional, and easy to work with. We met James at our very first wedding vendor open house, and he was incredibly helpful and kind in answering our questions about the preparation process, even those that extended beyond just music.
In short, hire James for your next wedding or party! It'll be the best decision you make when planning. -

James was absolutely INCREDIBLE to work with. From our first meeting, we were completely blown away by how organized and knowledgeable he was. We got married at Brooklyn Grange, and his knowledge of the space made us feel really confident that all the details would be taken care of. He worked with us to create a playlist that incorporated tons of our favorite songs & kept guests on the dance floor all night, and checked in with us throughout the night to make sure we were having a great time. (We were!) It was a perfect set list, and we’ve been listening to the playlist and recordings he sent us on repeat ever since. Definitely work with James if you can!! -

Everything we could’ve asked for and more!
James is the best! My wife and I had the time of our lives working with James. Music was an incredibly important part of our wedding, as we come from families rooted in music and dancing. He carefully and meticulously worked with us to create a playlist that would allow our friends and family to enjoy themselves on our special day. James is highly professional, thorough, and detailed. We married at the Prospect Park Boathouse, and he knew any and everything about the space. You are in safe and talented hands. Cannot recommend James enough. He had our friends and family partying and dancing till the very end!-

The g.o.a.t!
James was absolutely incredible to work with! He created the BEST wedding dancing floor one could ask for! We got married at an untraditional wedding venue, which is a club, House of Yes in Brooklyn. Going off the main-stream event style scared us a bit, but James totally understood how to make this still feel like a wedding, but the party we wanted! It was hard for my husband and I to put together a list of songs we like, which sounds silly, but James really listened to our small list we put together, our vision we had and took it and made our dreams come true! James had ALL ages dancing on the dance floor- the entire night- which created incredible memories! THANK YOU, JAMES! -

Amazing, must have for your big day!
If you are considering to hire James - walk, don't run, and book him! I hired James after a recommendation from my (non traditional) venue and had a great kick-off call. He was incredible from one year out up to the day-of the event in every single way. Our wedding was a clash of two cultures -- American Midwest and New York Dominican -- and James was exceptional at following our feedback about mixing country music, bachata, salsa, pop, reggaeton, dembow, oldies, rock, and so much more. And he did it with such ease, grace, and elegance that it felt so natural for everyone attending! Everyone felt included and had the best time. He also provided great suggestions on where to cut-off songs for first dances, as well as how to get the party started when it was time to dance. My only complaint is I wish we had a longer reception for more dancing because I never wanted the music to end! Seriously, must-have for your big day!-

Hire james
From the moment we met James, we knew he was going to be the perfect addition to our big day. He was so helpful in building out our timeline, including all of our must-play songs and making us feel so at ease throughout the entire process. His ability to get the party started and keep it going all night long was incredible and exactly what we were hoping for. It was truly a night to remember and one I wish we could relive again and again.
James, we are so lucky to have been able to work with you. Thank you for helping make our wedding absolutely perfect. -

The best, hands down
James is the best! From the beginning of the process he was extremely organized and personable, clearly taking a genuine interest in understanding us and our vision for the wedding. We had multiple musical performances during our ceremony, and he took all of that easily in stride, recommending mic setups, helping people get comfortable with the arrangement on the day of. Just the consummate professional.
And the results were exactly what we’d hoped! All of our sound went off without a hitch, it sounded great. People in the back during the ceremony remarked that they felt that they were right up there with us. He even sent us a recording of the audio from the wedding, something which we didn’t realize he would have and came as such a lovely surprise.
When it came to the dance floor, everyone was blown away. He did such a great job of working in the songs we wanted to hear, filling in gaps, managing everyone’s energy. I was honestly stressed out because I knew I had to go chat with friends and family but I simply did not want to stop dancing. People across generations kept the dance floor completely full all night.
Great guy, absurdly good DJ, he’s unbeatable you simply must hire him.

James Mulry - The Perfect DJ
I can’t recommend James enough, he was simply amazing. During the planning process he was very thoughtful, responsive, and thorough. He planned for anything & everything, he walked us through every little detail.
During the ceremony he MC’d with elegance, had a great sounding & great looking setup, and was able to coordinate 120+ people with poise. He never missed a cue, and was able to coordinate with our live musicians seamlessly.
When it was time to party, he executed perfectly and we kept a lively dance party going for 3 hours straight. He transitioned beautifully from music that worked for all our guests of all ages, to the final party group at the end (the rowdy youths).
When we initially found James, we were excited to chat with him because he was a DJ that had played shows in all of our favorite venues around NYC, he knew what a real party was like and how to keep the energy up. What made us choose James after talking to him was his calm, cool, and suave demeanor. We felt confident that he’d make our special evening perfect, and that he did. -

James Brought the Party
We loved working with James for our October 2023 wedding. We had a lot of offbeat ideas for our playlist, and James found a way to make everything so fun, seamless, and intentional. A personal highlight for me was dancing to "Bizarre Love Triangle" with my 82-year-old grandfather, and watching the crowd light up with each track.
We had the best night, and so much of the party was a credit to James! -

Made the wedding of my dreams come true
James exceeded all expectations we had. I'm super picky about music and a very particular vision for what I wanted with music (no cliche wedding music, edm heavy, throw in disco classics, keep the crowd going, etc.). James took all my feedback and playlists without complaining about how overbearing I was being and truly put together the best mix of all time. On top of that he brought in a disco ball to light up the barn we were in at M&D Farm! M&D was 3 hours out of NYC and he drove out from Brooklyn to come DJ for us. I can't say enough good thing about James. If you're looking for a DJ hire James!!! -

The best DJ we could have asked for
James was the best choice for a DJ and was absolutely everything we could have possibly wanted!!! Our biggest request was to keep people on the dance floor the entire night, and James very much understood the assignment. The entire wedding was an absolute BLAST because of James. He was responsive, kind, and thoughtful throughout the whole process (and during the wedding!). We honestly cannot recommend him more - what an absolute pleasure to work with you James, and thank you so much for an unforgettable party!!! -

Stop Your Search - You've Found the DJ
If you are reading this, go no further with your DJ-search, just pick James, we promise you will not be sorry. My husband and I got married at the end of June, and still get compliments from all of our guests on how amazing the music was from prelude to reception.
From our initial meeting, James listened to us when we said we didn't want our wedding to feel or sound like any other wedding. We primarily wanted 90s and early 2000s music, but not the songs one traditionally hears on repeat at weddings (think Ludacris, Busta Rhymes, Nelly Furtado etc.). James has an extensive knowledge of music, ranging across decades and genres, and because of that out did himself on the playlist, having everyone (young and old) dancing the entire night, regardless of the song's genre.
James was also very communicative with each of our vendors which was crucial in making the night go smoothly. There was never a lull in the events or any confusion on where to go and when. We owe a lot of that to James for ensuring that what was going on behind the scenes was communicated to our guests without coming across as pushy or too assertive. As a result, our guests, and ourselves, felt at ease throughout the night, and for that we are so grateful.
While we could go on, we hope the above sheds a bit of light into how much we adore James and would recommend him to anyone looking for an incredible DJ. We can't wait for the next opportunity to dance the night away with him in the city. -

The Amazing DJ James Mulry
We cannot recommend DJ James Mulry enough! We got married at the Ace Hotel Brooklyn, and it was the perfect day in big part due to him. Although he was only DJ'ing the reception, he was at the venue before the ceremony, provided a microphone for the officiant, and had a cocktail hour playlist ready in case our live music fell through. Amazing! For the reception, he was an excellent emcee and helped the event flow perfectly. He was very flexible in incorporating the order of events that we wanted (an early dance set, table game, etc.) and adhered to the timeline. He very much incorporated our music preferences and we got so many compliments on our music for the whole night (both dinner and dancing)! Also a super sweet and warm guy, definitely book him! -

James Mulry - the best Wedding Dj :)
We are so happy we chose James as our Wedding Dj - we got married at the Brooklyn Winery. Prior to our wedding we spoke with multiple DJs and immediately clicked with James because of his professionalism, being client-focused with a very strong music industry knowledge. Being an international couple, for us it was important to get a DJs who understand our culture and/or can adapt to our preferences and James was the perfect fit in that regards, he knew of so many different traditions across multiple cultures which helped feel immediately comfortable. He also made the whole prep process easy for us, sharing clear instructions/advice prior to the event making sure we have everything we need. During our wedding he also made sure guests were happy and helped our guest speakers/ceremony officiants/other performance be fully set up for success. He created a unique cosy vibe, our friends and family spoke all very highly of James. It was a blast to have him, we love his style and personality. A huge thank you James! -

Hire James! He's the best!
Good news! Your wedding DJ search is over: hire James.
From the very beginning, it was evident that James is not only a talented DJ with impeccable taste, but also extremely professional, organized, and thorough.
His systems for preparing for your wedding makes the entire planning process fun and stress-free. His vast experience and knowledge gave us full confidence in him, and he was able to offer tips that improved our planning and the experience of the day.
A few (of the many!) reasons why James shines: he’s able to execute the timeline without things ever feeling rushed. He’s attuned to and able to manage interpersonal dynamics that may arise. He has stellar equipment and expertise in handling tricky logistical setups. And, on top of it all, he’s able to craft set lists based on your tastes, but with surprises you didn’t even know you wanted (the seamless transition from the White Lotus theme into JLo’s “Waiting for Tonight” during the dance set was bananas).
Our wedding was at Eastwind Hotel in Windham, New York in June 2023, all events were outdoors, in three different locations. It was not the easiest setup, but James arrived early and handled all the load-in himself. He worked seamlessly with the other vendors: providing audio inputs for the videographer, coordinating with the planner to make sure there was amplification throughout the day. He brought all of his own equipment: great quality mics, speakers, extension cords, etc. He also handled curveballs that came his way: the reception was outside under a tent, and about 30 minutes in it started raining. James kept the party going while moving all of his gear out of the rain. We were completely unaware that he had to multitask, only realizing how brilliantly he had handled the inclement weather after the evening was over!
Icing on the cake: the day after the wedding, he sent us audio files of the ceremony, the toasts, and the music sets from the cocktail hour, reception, and the dance party. The audio quality is phenomenal, and listening to the recordings brings us right back to the day. It’s such a gift.
On top of it all, James is kind and thoughtful and a total joy to work with. We can’t wait to go to his next set in Brooklyn! Hire him! You’ll be grateful you did. -

The perfect wedding DJ
We couldn’t have been happier with James as the DJ for our wedding. He was efficient, organized, personable and catered to our musical tastes so perfectly to help make our evening so memorable. The dance floor was a nonstop party. Planning a wedding can very stressful but there was 0 added stress when it came to James. I basically knew within 5 minutes of our first meeting that we had nothing to worry about when it came to our wedding music. He was also willing to travel 3 hours upstate just for our event. Hire this man! -

James Brings the Party
If James is available for your wedding date, book him immediately! James is so fun to work with and has an incredible understanding of what makes a dance floor come alive. We got married at the Valley Rock in Sloatsburg NY in May 2023, and James had people on the dance floor moving (and coming up to us saying best DJ/dance floor at a wedding they'd ever been to). He is also an excellent steward for your event, knowing when to play the songs that will get guests out of their seats, transitioning from music for the "adults" to music for the "kids" in a way that everyone felt like the songs were for them, and ensuring that only those you want to have access to the microphones do. We had a blast at our own wedding and James was such a large part of the reason why. -

Excellent Music Taste, Even Better Service
As a music industry professional, the pressure to get the music just right for the wedding was incredibly important for our wedding - especially for a 250-person party 3 hours from NYC in Coxsackie, NY. Not only did James provide the best curation and sound quality we (and our guests) have ever experienced at a wedding, but his thoughtful and calm demeanor provided us the experience we could’ve asked for. He Is truly special.
From a curation standpoint, he worked with us to develop the overall sound and feel that fit our tastes but also those of our diverse audience, without relying on the line dances and “wedding hits” that so many other DJs lazily rely on. What felt like a hopeless endeavor because tangible with James’ help, and ultimately very successful. Friends and family, old and young, couldn’t believe how great the music was! I mean this with all sincerity: I’ve never seen a dance floor so packed with so much energy. Shirts being ripped off, ties being connected for a limbo line, songs being sung like anthems. Everything we wanted and more.
There were a few potential pitfalls with the audio for our wedding. The ceremony was outside next to the Hudson River, which frequents many motorboats and jet skis that could make our service inaudible. Also, the reception hall was large and not necessary built with acoustics in mind. James went the extra mile to make sure ensure the sound quality would be audible for everyone. He arrived early to run 100+ feet of audio cable between the main space and atrium, set up satellite speakers for background level on the sides of the room, used bigger speakers for the ceremony, and even bought extra gear. These pitfalls never became a factor, even with a parade of boats driving by during the ceremony.
Most importantly, James personable and calm demeanor eliminated any worries we had. He MC’d the important moments, chatted with friends and family, and came over to see if we were having a good time. His personality is the reason we picked him in the first place, but he exceeded our lofty expectations.
I wish you a fantastic wedding, and if you’re looking for stellar music and an even better experience then James needs to be your DJ. -

James is the man!!
James is absolutely amazing! He was recommended to us by our planner and we are so glad that we went with him. We are from different cultures and we wanted songs from both our cultures incorporated into our wedding. During our first meeting James was giving us recommendations based on our cultural backgrounds that we didn't even think about! It really showed how diverse his portfolio is. Also, his worksheet made our job so easy when it was time for us to give him the songs that we wanted. Our wedding venue, Seminary Hill was in the Catskills and even though James is NYC based he was there with us making our special day even better. His choice of songs made every generations in the wedding dance! James is very accommodating and will be there for you. Lastly, we never thought we would be able to listen to the amazing speeches given at the wedding after the event. However, James recorded them and sent them to us! We will cherish those recordings forever! -

Hiring James was the best decision we made for the wedding!
My now husband and I aren't huge on dancing/loud music, but needed a DJ for our wedding, and found James through recommendations (and everyone recommends him who knows him for good reason!). Every step of the way James was a BLAST to work with, and made everything easy. On the day of the wedding, he helped everything to flow SO well; the music he played was fantastic and had everyone dancing, including us and our shy-er friends! I cannot recommend James enough to anyone looking for a DJ-this was the best decision we could have made for our special day! -

Best DJ Ever!
My wife and I just got married at the Wythe Hotel this past weekend. Last year, when we were interviewing DJ's, we liked talking with James the best by far. He was extremely personable, easy to talk to, and a true professional throughout the entire experience. He was probably our favorite vendor we worked with during the entire wedding! He really knew how to read the room and play the right songs and the right time. And all of the timing, from the ceremony, to the speeches, to the reception were perfect. Highly recommended, and I would definitely hire him for my next wedding (just kidding :D)! -

The Best Wedding DJ in New York
We worked with James Mulry for our recent wedding in NYC (Second in the Kimpton Eventi), and he was a dream DJ. He made the planning process so easy by offering smart suggestions that matched our desired style. We were looking for a specific tone for the party, and James just "got it" instantly. On the day of the wedding, his DJ skills were flawless--So many guests came up to us saying that it was the most fun they ever had dancing at a wedding. Do not hire anyone else!! James is the best!! -

You NEED James!
My (now) husband and I were planning to contract James for our wedding, but decided to elope at the courthouse instead and had James DJ my birthday party at a bar & party space in Bushwick, NYC. As I had formerly worked events at The Wythe Hotel in Brooklyn, I had already seen James DJ tons of weddings and witnessed first-hand his incredible ability to keep people on the dance floor all night long, and he did not disappoint for my birthday party! We had a super diverse mix of personal and professional friends and he kept EVERYONE on the dancing while keeping the playlist super spot on to my music taste (shared via a very eclectic Spotify playlist ahead of the event, so this was no small feat!).
Texts I received from friends afterwards described our hours spent dancing as 'healing', 'freeing', and an 'absolute blast' - and I could not agree more. So, TLDR: having wedding or just a fun party: you NEED James! -

Best dance party
Hiring James Mulry was one of the best decisions we could have ever made for our wedding. James kept the dance floor alive the entire night, with both families and our friends. We especially loved his recommendations, and the process leading up the wedding was very thorough. James is a pro, and ready to answer any possible questions with a number of thoughtful solutions. I think his background in nightlife helps give James an advantage, and he's the perfect choice if you want a fun contemporary wedding that isn't traditional. We had a blast dancing to everything from Pixies to Sophie to Weezer to Donna Summer. James really spent time getting to know us and our musical taste beforehand, and this was very clear in his DJ set during the reception. We couldn't recommend him enough. If you want your guests to be talking about how fun your wedding was for weeks, definitely hire James Mulry! -

Best DJ Ever! 5 Stars is not enough
We hired James for our wedding celebration, and it was one of the best decisions we made. You can tell upfront that he is the ultimate professional through the questions he asks and the care he puts in to really getting to know how you want the event to go in advance. During the event, he kept the celebratory energy high the whole night, and also perfectly orchestrated each phase of the evening. Every song exactly nailed our tastes, and the vibe we were looking for. It was truly the best dance floor I could ever imagine thanks to his expertise. We kept hearing repeatedly from friends and family who attended about how awesome our DJ was (and we wholeheartedly agree). I would highly recommend James to any couple, or anyone looking to have an excellent party! -

Dynamite DJ Delivered!
James Mulry. A music magician. A soldier of sound. A rebel of rhythm. Our great photographer recommended James to us. As soon as we met him, we connected with his energy, his desire to know us as a couple, was extremely well organized, helped plan in advance, listened carefully, and happily made suggestions from his own curated music knowledge. The day of, James was professional, entertaining, spot on paying attention to the vibrant crowd and engaged our family and friends with an ongoing perfect play list. Following the moods throughout the afternoon and evening. James, was most concerned with the music, as any DJ should be. So as wanted and needed, we did not need any fancy ridiculous blinking lights and the silly club atmosphere. James brought sophistication and class to our elegant once-in-a-lifetime moment. He respected and followed the rules of our venue - the beautiful Prospect Park Boat House. He worked outside for the ceremony and seamlessly worked inside for the reception. He also respected our concerns regarding health risks/COVID (We had some immune compromised guests at our wedding). We wish we could have our wedding yearly, in particularly, so we could have James once again be part of our party. He’s a true artist in tune with his surroundings and the beats, symphonies, and hot diggity rock-n-roll he delivered! Everyone should have James part of their event.

The G.O.A.T
I think I'm still recovering from dancing all night at my wedding from almost two weeks ago, and it's all thanks to James. His professionalism, communication, attention to detail, fun energy and knowledge of the wedding industry is unmatched, and he helped us throw the best New Year's Eve party we could have ever imagined. James did not miss a single music cue and kept our guests on the dance floor literally ALL NIGHT. He is the best! Do not look any further for your DJ needs—hire James!!!! -

Coolest and Best DJ, Absolute Master
Dear reader, this is a no-brainer. Hiring James to DJ our wedding at Threes Brewing in Gowanus was the best decision we made of all the hundreds of choices we had to make. He knows all the music in the world, but he's interested in your taste and wants to reflect it. He knows how to set the mood when it's time to relax and mingle, and he knows how to keep the party on the dance floor. He's like a puppet master. He is ORGANIZED. Easily best organized vendor we worked with. Top-notch, light-speed communicator. He is smooth and can manage the flow of the night with confidence and style. He does absolutely nothing to deliberately call attention to himself, but his excellence just kind of demands everyone's admiration. He looks amazing. He was absolutely the coolest person at our wedding, which you definitely want in your DJ. Each time a new song came on, that was some guest's cue to come up and tell us this was honestly the best DJ they'd ever witnessed. It really happened like eight different times throughout the night, maybe more. The icing on the cake was that when our plan to stay at Threes for the after party fell through, James shifted into overdrive researching alternative places for us to land, calling bars, and communicating the new plan to the guests. We ended up walking to a spot we'd never heard of and it worked out perfectly. He wasn't even DJing the after party! He was just making the night perfect like it was his whole job. If you're still reading this, just do yourself a favor and check this one off your to-do list. If James isn't available on your particular date, maybe pick a new date. -

The bessstttt
If you want your guests on the dance floor all night - you NEED to hire James! My husband and I were picky with who we wanted to DJ because they play such an integral part in the night. We knew we wanted who could manage a crowd and play some amazing music without overpowering our event (ya know what I mean). We met James through our wedding planner and my husband and I instantly fell in love with him. I swear we were talking about how great we thought he was for days after our first meeting. James was so organized, thoughtful, and friendly throughout the entire planning process. He reminded us of deadlines for music choices, provided lists for inspiration and listening, and was incredible about merging our taste in music into something cohesive and fun (we like A LOT of different genres). On the day of, it felt like we had a close friend DJing for us. To no surprise, the dance floor was packed the entire night and we had people commenting all night how amazing the music was (and some maybe liked James a little too much LOL 😉). From reminding me to eat, to transitioning from location to location seamlessly, to laughing with us about a wild guest - James was really just the best. I’m not kidding when I say everyone was on the dance floor, even our “I can’t dance” guests! Thank you James for everything! We miss ya! If you’re looking for the perfect DJ - look no further. -

No need to look any further for a DJ. James is 100% the best!
James was VERY professional and knew exactly what he was doing to make sure we had the perfect setup for our day. In our kick-off call with Jame it was very clear he was paying attention and had sent us a brief overview on what all he would cover to make sure we were prepared on what to expect. We trusted him fully on what he thought was best for our guests along with accommodating any artists to avoid and songs to make sure to play. After signing the contract to work with James - we met to discuss any other details he may need to know about for the day and made sure we were comfortable with all steps moving forward. All of our guests have said multiple times "The DJ was legit the best and had everyone dancing from younger to older". I have not heard one bad thing about James since our wedding day. He was for sure the best DJ we have ever witnessed at a wedding and we hope to see him at a future party. -

10/10 Highly Recommend!
We were so happy we went with James for all things wedding music. Having never planned a wedding before, my husband and I were completely lost about the flow, timelines, logistics, etc. Throughout the entire process with James, he was so professional and collaborative, answered all of our questions, worked directly with our ceremony musicians the day-of, and went above and beyond to make our day absolutely perfect. As a couple, we opted to forgo a few typical wedding ceremony and reception traditions and James was able to not only be accommodating to our wishes, but also offer innovative and fun suggestions for alternatives. My boomer father (who until our wedding assumed all DJs looked like they were ready to play a 7th grade gymnasium dance in a flat billed hat and jeans) was probably the most shocked when James showed up in a tux looking snappy, dapper, and professional. His vibes and appearance absolutely matched his level of service. Guests are STILL months later complimenting our music and seamless flow of the entire night, all thanks to James! -

Best DJ of all time
We absolutely LOVED James and were so glad that he was a part of our wedding at The Castle by Marlow Events in Red Hook, Brooklyn. Not only does he have exceptional music taste but he was so easy to work with through the whole process. He felt like a friend, super supportive and willing to make it all happen. He was also extremely professional, you can tell he knows exactly what he’s doing on all fronts – from planning to playlist making to emceeing to making sure all of the dads knew how to speak correctly into a microphone. He was able to take my eclectic music taste and make it into an experience that all of our guests loved. I also really appreciated that he vibe-checked with me a few times throughout the night (and gave me final approval on shooting down a cheesy song request that he correctly guessed I would not have enjoyed). And his dance party skills are unmatched. To quote my friend who came up to me mid-party, “All chutes, no ladders.” Could have danced all night. Highly recommend James to anyone considering him. 100000/10. -

James Mulry is a phenomenal DJ (and likely a witch)
Do you remember that scene in Hocus Pocus where Winifred Sanderson and the Sanderson sisters sing “I put a spell on you” and the adults dance non-stop into the night? Well, now presenting James Mulry, who is essentially Bette Midler/Winifred Sanderson in DJ form.
We’re so glad we chose James for to DJ our wedding reception at House Works Bookstore in Soho this Fall. He is a phenomenal artist (maybe a witch??) who holds that precarious line between professionalism and fun with perfect ease.
James is a genuinely kind, funny and interesting person who carefully listened our “must haves,” provided feedback on our playlist based on his experience, and helped curate our timeline to make sure his cues were seamless. He also made sure we had an open line of communication all the way up until the big day. The true MVP move was when he helped make sure our disco ball was properly set up and rotating - which was definitely not his job, but indicative of how he really goes above and beyond.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: James essentially murdered our friends and family with his killer beats at our reception. And we were NOT mad about it! No mercy was shown. He had everyone —across ages, friend groups, dance skill— grooving for hours. There were no survivors. -

Beyond amazing
James was everything we could have asked for in a DJ and more. From our first phone call to our last dance, he was a pleasure to work with. We threw a range of genres and decades at him, which he crafted into the perfect wedding soundtrack that got everyone up and dancing. From family to friends, old and young, everyone complimented us on the music — even the venue staff! Now we just need to plan another big event so we can get to party with him again. -

Wouldn't want any other DJ
James was the best DJ we could've asked for. He has such a passion for music in general and he does such a great job at making a playlist that is tailor-made to your specific tastes. He also offers up a lot of great suggestions how how the night should go musically speaking and I really felt like he understood what we wanted out of the night, and flawlessly executed. He really was able to do it all and I would absolutely work with him again. -

Better Than The Band
When you’re planning a wedding, you have to make a lot of compromises. Are you splurging on the booze? The flowers? The music? Well, I’m here to tell you on the other side of our wedding that I never once felt like choosing a dj over a band was a compromise. But that’s really all because of how special James is specifically. We got married at Gather Greene in the Hudson Valley town of Coxsackie (in upstate New York) just mere weeks ago and I can’t even begin to express how incredible it was to work with James. And that’s not just because he’s *so* on top of things (there’s so much more organizing, sound checking, wrangling, schedule keeping, mc-ing and other work involved with djing that it never even dawned on me to think about), or that he allowed us to dictate the vibe and specific songs we wanted to hear while adding his own flavor to beef up our list, but it’s really in the quality of the work and small details that play a HUGE role in your day that James sets himself apart. Here’s the perfect example: During our ceremony, our officiant called out a joke that had recently developed around me not having heard of the song “Escape” by Enrique Iglacias. It was a song my now husband and our officiant (friend) loved from their youth, and we hadn’t included it on our list of must plays. But James, listening perceptively during the ceremony intuitively knew that it had to come on our playlist and spontaneously added it. The crowd ROARED, and the party that erupted around my husband and his friend as they broke out into a dance to the song is hands down one of my favorite moments of our wedding night. It was one of those unplanned, incredible moments that really just adds to the magic of the night. Similarly, when my sister who I had vehemently told before the wedding she couldn’t lead a line dancing lesson at our party asked James to play the Boot Scootin’ Boogy, he checked in with me, again intuitively understanding from our previous conversations during the planning process that I just wouldn’t be down with that and squashed it before our party took a turn we wouldn’t have wanted. These are the kinds of pivots and additions you’re just not going to get from a band. Lastly, I didn’t expect we’d get SO many comments from guests on how incredible the musical transitions were, or how much they loved the playlist (“I don’t want it to ever end!”) but those comments kept rolling in on the night, and still are weeks later. In my opinion, the music is a huge part of the FUN factor of a wedding, and I couldn’t be more grateful we chose James to dj our event. -

The Best Wedding DJ
From the first call through the end of our wedding celebration, James provided a superb wedding DJ experience. He responded promptly to emails in the months leading up to the event and made planning calls easy by really getting to know my wife and my taste in music. He made sure he had every detail of our day right despite us changing important song selections and the schedule a number of times. He arrived early the day of the event and provided the perfect audio equipment for our small ceremony. During the reception he was able to get our dance floor going twice (interrupted by a picture in between). He seamlessly integrated our requested songs with other tasteful selections from a variety of genres that kept the energy high and our guests on the dance floor. Would hire him again in a heartbeat! -

5/5 Stars for NYC NYBG May 2022 Wedding
5/5 Stars. James was our DJ for our May 2022 outdoor/indoor NYC wedding at the Stone Mill at the New York Botanical Garden in the Bronx. James met with us beforehand (virtually) several times and worked with us through the details of the evening. James was highly responsive and very easy to work with.
James executed perfectly the different musical vibes we wanted for the various parts of the wedding day: pre ceremony (string pop music), ceremony (classic strings) , cocktail hour (tropical house), dinner (easy listening), first dance (classic), cake cutting, dancing (disco, pop, energic). James played our ‘must play’ and filled in the rest seamlessly with his knowledge of music and our recommendations. The quality of service was outstanding.
James was the utmost professional. As the MC he didn't steal the spotlight yet facilitated key moments such as speeches and dances.
The technology was great. The music sounded crisp. The microphones were nice. And James had an indoor outdoor setup and was super flexible with us.
James was nice enough to share the set list with us after - Thanks James! -

The best. Period.
James was one of the best choices we made for our wedding at The Halyard in Greenport, on the North Fork. His musical talent and ability to read the room kept everyone on the dance floor all night long and his attention to detail and MCing skills ensured a flawless execution of our timeline (without being corny, which is what we were looking for). James knows his stuff. Both music-wise and wedding-wise, James was on it—balancing guests of all ages and from both coasts with smooth transitions and a progression that took the vibes from fun to party and brought even guests who never dance at weddings out on the dance floor. Ultimately, James created an EPIC night, not only for us but for all our guests, with multiple people coming up to us throughout the night saying how amazing our DJ was and that it was the best wedding they've ever been to. Not only was James amazing to have on our wedding day, but he made the planning process so easy and seamless as well. He's quick to reply, gives great advice, jumped right in to create our wedding day timeline within minutes when we didn't have one, and even went to visit our venue prior to the day to ensure everything would go smoothly. James went above and beyond to exceed expectations and we would HIGHLY recommend him for any event you need a capable and talented DJ, who can also serve as an MC. -

An amazing DJ - highly recommend.
James was our DJ for our wedding at Celestine Restaurant in DUMBO (Brooklyn, NY). He was a pleasure to work with as he was very relaxed and catered to all of our requests and needs. The way he carried himself throughout the ceremony, reception, etc. is second to none. We appreciate everything James has done for this wedding and would highly recommend him to anyone in the future! -

The greatest DJ!
James was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. We knew immediately that we wanted to hire him from his warm personality and deep knowledge of his craft. Our guests can't stop gushing about how great the music was - he took everyone's requests and knew exactly what songs to play when to keep the party going. He also flawlessly ran our ceremony including supporting multiple mics for all of our readers. If you're thinking of hiring James for your wedding, please just do it! -

The. Absolute. Best dj ever!
TL,DR: James Mulry is freaking phenomenal. Book him now.
We were introduced to James at one of our friends' weddings where he absolutely killed it. After that, we knew we had to book him for our wedding. He just knows how to read the crowd and keep the party going. From the ceremony music, to the cocktail hour, to the last song of the night....everyone was having a blast! The gradual build up from the electric slide after dinner to Queen at the end of the night. It was just...perfect. I wish we were having another wedding so we could book him again. He is courteous, fun, professional, and so incredibly helpful. Book him! -

Greatest DJ Ever
A fantastic DJ with an innate knowledge of what type of music makes a wedding great, James was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. After helping guide us through song selections in the lead-up to the big day, collaborating with our wedding planner on flow, and a million other little details, he kept the energy cranked allll the way up during our reception with a ton of excellent songs (I pretty much never stepped foot off the dance floor). -

Hire him!!!
James was such an easy pick for us. After our first call, we just knew that he was going to be the DJ for us. He made our wedding night run so smoothly & kept folks on the dance floor nonstop. Our NYC friends & our suburban families were both pleased with the music selection, which is a hard line to walk! Can't recommend him enough! -

James DJ'd our wedding at the Wythe Hotel, and I cannot overstate how great a job he did. The music choices were fantastic -- we had many of our guests say so! -- and he was an absolute breeze to work with. Absolutely would work with again and would recommend. -

BEST Wedding DJ & Just a kind soul
Our wedding was in December of 2021 at 501 Union in Brooklyn, NY. My husband and I are VERY into music, and cared very much about the playlist - from the ceremony, the cocktail hour, the dinner, and all the way to the reception party - and when I say cared, I mean painstakingly so. We really wanted to work with a DJ who understood that we would have very specific requests regarding the vibe of the night, genre of music, order of certain songs, etc. and be flexible with us, instead of putting his/her ego/pride over what our wants/desires would be. And we also wanted someone who really would make the night / party about us and our guests. We did NOT want someone in the middle of the dance floor with a microphone - we wanted someone to oversee and guide / facilitate the night as smoothly and as subtly as possible. And James was everything that we ever wanted (and more!) James made sure that we got on a zoom call to get to know each other, and he asked thoughtful questions to understand our story (how we met, how's long distance during a global pandemic), then he asked us what we wanted for our night - what our vision would be, what the most important things were to us when it came to the music part of our wedding. He took the time to really listen to what we wanted, and really worked to execute our vision on the night of the wedding. On the day of the wedding, he was there for support, and was present when he needed to be, but was mainly in the background cheering all of us on, and just throwing us the best party! But also, James is a REALLY nice guy. He's just a kind and humble soul. He genuinely cares about his work, and understands how important this night is to the couple. And he WILL care about you as a human being. We were able to fully trust James in this entire process, and honestly, our wedding was a magical night. He gave us great advice on how to smoothly have every part of the night flow into the next, and of course, the music was on epic!!! Thank you James, and we miss you! -

Best Wedding DJ and wedding guide!
A friend recommended we use James, and it was our best wedding gift! James was extremely responsive and helpful, and took his role seriously, and helped us figure out the flow of the event and even find other vendors. He was such a helpful and calming presence during the planning, and he absolutely did an amazing job at our wedding! Our guests, who came from French, Israeli, and American backgrounds had an amazing time and didn't stop dancing and were all so impressed by how James seamlessly incorporated the different musical and religious and cultural traditions, while also doing a great job moving the party along. He brings incredible value, and we are so happy we got to work with him! -

Your favorite DJ's favorite DJ
James did such an outstanding job DJ’ing our wedding at the Wythe Hotel this year! His impeccable selection, timing, and reading of the crowd really brought magic to the night and we cannot thank him enough. Our Friends and family are still talking about what an amazing atmosphere he created. Prior to the event we worked with James on music selection and event coordination and James proved to be a true professional and a pleasure to collaborate with on a vision for our big day. Above all else James’s taste level and deep knowledge of music set him apart from the crowd, it was so refreshing to be able to discuss nuances of various genres with him in preparation, and on the night of James delivered like a master at work :) Thanks for the great memories James! -

James is the best of the best!
Working with James was one of the major highlights of our wedding! We were a COVID-19 postponement, and he was super flexible and easy to work with from that aspect. What's more, he *knows his stuff*. My husband was very particular about the music, and about including some nods to his Latino culture, and James was a fantastic partner in crime. What's more, he knew every Jewish tradition and was extremely prepared when speaking with our Rabbi. But the best part? Our wedding was a DANCE PARTY and James kept everyone on their feet the entire night. He is the reason people should get a DJ over a band. 5 stars across the board. We will miss working with him!!! -

Nailed our karaoke reception!
We came to James with an unconventional request -- a karaoke reception -- and even though he had never done it before, he knocked it out of the park!! James took care of all of our music needs throughout the day -- our ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner music, and the karaoke. He was also our emcee -- he introduced us, helped direct our guests when it was time to shift from ceremony to reception, and helped us stay on schedule throughout the evening. For karaoke, he set up monitors so folks could sing along, helped our guests get to the mics when it was time for their song, and kept the party going nonstop. It was the best night of our lives, and a big part of it was thanks to James! -

Excellent!
I worked with James during a wedding in Brooklyn that I planned on behalf of Pollyanna Events and I only have good things to say! During the entire planning process James was very responsive and organized. I could tell he is a true professional and loves his job. He asked all the right questions and helped with preparing a surprise for the bride that involved using a projector that James didn't get to test out before the big day. This shows how skilled he is in what he does and how flexible of a vendor he is. Our timeline changed a bunch of times during the day and James was able to adjust in a calm and collected manner. He also served as a mentor to the MC that was translating the wedding to international guests by offering advice and tips. His song selection was amazing - marrying the current hits, cool remixes and songs chosen by the couple. Booking James will for sure make your special event unforgettable and the planning a breeze! -

James is the Best
James Mulry is a true gem. We are so lucky to have stumbled across him in our search for a wedding DJ and even luckier to have hired him. He was such a delight to chat to in our initial virtual meeting. We are so excited that we were able to have our wedding this past summer at the Green Building in Brooklyn and the dance floor was hopping the entire night. We also appreciated all the effort James put in to blend our musical tastes and incorporate seamlessly American and Arabic songs. Including a very successful Dubke group dance that had everyone at the wedding involved. The entire planning process went really well with James always on top of everything. He was instrumental in helping us setup a Zoom video to make sure our international guests could virtually be there with us. Also he was a large part in making it so my husband's sister could give a speech at the wedding over Zoom. Was really a magical moment and the next best thing to having her there with us. We will always be grateful to James for going above and beyond to make sure our wedding was exactly us. Hire James! He's just amazing :) -

Best ever!
James is fantastic!! First off, phone calls with vendors have not been my favorite part of the planning process. Not everyone knows how to lead a call — James was so damn friendly and easy to talk with. He covered questions we didn’t know we would have and caters the event toward your particular style with so much discovery. I could tell he really got us. If it weren’t for Covid complications that led us to ultimately have to cancel our wedding, we were SO looking forward to working with James. When this happened, he was so flexible and helpful and could not have been more understanding. Times are not easy right now, and having vendors that are this amazing is really important. We can’t wait to use James in the future!! -

Wedding 4/17/21
My husband and I got married at the Old Field Club on LI on 4/17/21. Covid cases were beginning to decrease, but venues still had plenty of restrictions to follow. Having James as our DJ put all of our worries at ease. First, he is the kindest most genuine person to speak to and made the music selections as painless as possible. He cares about his clientele and truly wants the bride and groom to have the best day of their lives. He was covid conscious and even though restrictions were present, he had everyone on the dance floor. Our guests having to practice social distancing was never an issue. We had special music preferences and it made our wedding day unique and unforgettable. Thank you James! -

Could not recommend enough!
We worked with James for my brother's wedding and my own a year later and he did an excellent job at both. From walking us through the planning process to making thoughtful recommendations, working with the traditional Jewish elements of our wedding, and knowing how to flow the music along during the party - the experience was a pleasure. -

The Absolute BEST
I truly cannot say enough good things about James!! It was a joy working with him from day 1.
We got married this June at Audrey's Farmhouse in the Hudson Valley and cant imagine our event without him. Our reception was the BEST dance party we have ever had!! He read the room perfectly and our guests COULD NOT get off the dance floor because we were all loving the music so much. His unique combos of retro and modern hits kept everyone - old and young -
having the best time. James' calm and cool personality also shone when he MC'd our cocktail hour and reception. He helped things flow smoothly and kept everyone completely engaged.
James was beyond helpful when it came to helping us plan our event. He understood the feel we were going for and helped us create the perfect timeline. He came fully prepared with more than enough enough equipment and was able to handle last minute changes without a glitch.
I truly hope to work with James again and wish he could DJ every wedding we attend!

Amazing DJ & person!
From our first meeting, James gave us confidence that we didn’t have to worry about anything that had to do with audio for our wedding because he would handle it. He made himself very aware of our music tastes and preferences, and didn’t question what we wanted. In fact he even added value with his huge knowledge of music, so there were songs he used throughout the pre/post ceremony and dance that were a perfect fit that we didn’t even think of. He also coordinated with the videographer to make sure they had great audio quality for their recording. Another thing that was awesome was how he MC’d the night in a very natural way which made all the events flow together nicely. If you want a great DJ and someone who will be aligned with you musically and take stress away from your day, you should go with James! We even got a new friend out of it! -

Best DJ Ever
We just had our long postponed wedding and James was incredible! As the groom, I didn’t have much responsibility in planning the wedding aside from the DJ. What I really appreciated about James is his love for music. He plays great music and knows how to hold a dance floor. James was also super flexible for all of our postponements during covid. He is a great communicator and I couldn’t recommend him enough. -

Great experience - hire James!!
James was an absolute delight to work with, and we simply cannot recommend him highly enough. We got married May 15, 2021 in Chappaqua, NY. Planning a wedding during the pandemic was a challenge, but James countered that stress from our first conversation by being so thoughtful and such a professional.
His music selection, timing, and thoughtful, non-intrusive commentary during our reception were wonderful. So much more than that though, he went consistently above and beyond what we could have expected or hoped for. For example, without involving us at all, he drove a considerable way on his off day to scout our venue prior to the wedding day.
And on the day of, James adapted to every change of circumstance perfectly. Two examples (of many) (1) The family member who was running our livestream had audio issues during setup. Unprompted, James offered the use of extra equipment to better position the livestream setup and to record the audio for the ceremony, so we now have that as an additional keepsake. (2) Our site diagram had had multiple "dance zones" inside our tent for COVID-compliant dancing, but the vendor who handled the set up did not leave room for them. James seamlessly adjusted his plan by installing extra speakers to make the dance party happen on a lawn. This lead to us being able to have the dance party that we had hoped for on our wedding day, and it's completely thanks to James.
We feel so lucky that James was available for our wedding day, and we can't recommend him highly enough. -

DJ Extraordinaire
I was one of those crazy brides who didn't think I needed a DJ until my wedding planner introduced me to James. There are so many more elements to wedding day music I hadn't even thought of, but James did. From speakers to microphones, to speeches and dancing, James had us covered. I felt like it was such a great collaborative effort. He listened to everything I liked, and created the best playlists for each element of our wedding. He knew how to get the party started and keep it going! If you're a bride looking for the best DJ is the tri-state area, look no further. If you're a bride on the fence about hiring a DJ for your wedding because you think you can do it with an iPod, skip the hassle and hire James. Trust me, it'll be one of the best decisions you can make for yourself! -

Stop looking for a wedding DJ - book James!
We were introduced to James after having a blast at my sister's wedding a year prior! When it came to start planning our own wedding, we knew we had to look no further and immediately called up James. Although our wedding reception ultimately did not take place due to the COVID-19 pandemic, James was a true professional, proposing solutions and working with us through TWO rescheduled dates, even finding an alternative DJ when he was booked. His flexibility and support kept our spirits up during an incredibly difficult time. We never could have predicted this situation, but we are confident that James would have thrown us and our guests one hell of a party and he will be our first call for a future anniversary celebration bash down the road! -

Look no further - seriously. James is *IT*.
Wow. Just wow. James was an incredible DJ, and overall human, to work with for our wedding.
Our wedding at the Wythe Hotel was incredibly logistically complicated -- instead of dancing (due to COVID-19), we decided to enlist all of our friends to perform talents and put on a talent/variety show for our friends and family. This was quite a feat to pull off in terms of not just keeping track of all speakers and performers on the timeline, but also the multiple microphones, supporting musicians and laptops, three audio outputs to house speakers, recorders, cameras, Zoom feeds etc. James handled it all with incredible expertise and ease.
We'd hired James before we downsized our wedding from 140 to 40, and we couldn't have been happier to have made the decision to work with him early on. He was so willing to work with us, adapt to our ever-changing logistical requirements and desires, and to help us execute them perfectly.
He hopped on MANY Zoom calls before the wedding, spent hours coordinating with our videographer, the venue, and wedding coordinator, to make sure everything was perfectly set up, and THEN on the day-of, he proceeded to lead and emcee the absolute best day of our lives. Every single aspect of his performance and work, from the lead-up to the execution, and beyond, was insanely impressive.
James is not just a hugely skilled DJ and sound coordinator, but he is also an incredibly kind, warm, and FUNNY human being. We honestly will continue to dream up future events JUST to be able to work with him again. Do not hesitate to hire James for your event, because he will make it unforgettable. He also travels outside of NYC! We live in California and can't wait to have him out (when it's safe) for future events that we hold. JAMES RULES! -

Phenomenal DJ!
I cannot say enough GREAT things about James! From our first meeting with him, until packing up at the wedding, he was so professional and considerate. He makes it a point for the day to be about you and your partner, not about him on the microphone and that was SO important to us. Between every conversation and the worksheet he had us complete, he was able to curate a better wedding playlist than we ever imagined. Our wedding was a backyard wedding out East on Long Island, so outside of making the trek to be there, we also had to work around a not so traditional venue. He handled every situation that was thrown at him with grace and ease and really kept the positive vibe of the day going. To give you an idea of how great he kept the party moving, we ended up asking him to stay an extra hour after our scheduled time and it was a great decision! So many guests at the wedding approached us asking where we found James, so I am sure we will be seeing him at some weddings in the future. I know I will definitely use him for any future events as well! -

Hire James for your wedding (seriously, hire him)
We got married at Housing Works Bookstore on 3/7, and I could not be more glad we hired James as our DJ. He had our guests dancing for three hours straight, and read the room perfectly to know what to play, when to pick up the pace, and when to slow it down. He was so good multiple friends, mid-dancing, came over to us to say "This DJ is AMAZING! Who is he?!". Friends were texting us days after the wedding trying to recreate his playlist and joking "#DJJamesForPresident".
Beyond what an amazing job he does the night of, he was also so helpful during wedding planning. He's organized, thorough, and helped us create our timeline for the evening in such a way to keep the party flowing seamlessly.
We really appreciated the thoughtful and generous way James works. When I was stressed and overwhelmed with planning, when I talked to James I would leave feeling calmer, completely secure that he would help make our wedding amazing. He gave us suggestions for recessional and processional music when we were stuck, made sure to play songs from a relative's album that we had requested, and checked in with us the night of to give us a heads-up before speeches. If you're getting married in NYC, hire James!!! -

Great Experience
James always responded promptly and thoroughly to all our questions and was always highly professional while making us feel like we had a friend DJing our wedding.
He really understood our vision for our wedding and we can fully recommend him. -
