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! -

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... -

Becky Sent on 01/09/2025James 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... -

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... -

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. -

Christina Sent on 12/03/2024Do 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... -

Tiffany Sent on 09/20/2024We 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! -

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. -

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!! -

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! -

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! -

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!!! -

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! -

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... -

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... -

Ian P. Sent on 06/28/2023Excellent 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... -

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... -

Tony Sent on 03/29/2023Best 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)! -

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,... -

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!!!! -

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... -

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,... -

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... -

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...
