Damon W. Married on 06/10/2023Flawless execution, then rocked it on the dance floor
I always loved DJ Shakey, and she didn't disappoint at our wedding! Our pre-wedding discussions on what we wanted were very clear and straightforward. She did everything right with the processional, recessional, announcing speeches, etc. And then completely rocked it on the dance floor; quite a few of our guests complimented us on our DJ choice -

Moldover M. Married on 05/30/2023Whole Lotta Love!
I cannot thank DJ Shakey enough for all her hard work and positive energy throughout the process of pulling off our beautiful, but complex, international wedding. I’ve been a fan of hers in the underground music scene for many years but never had the pleasure to appreciate her DJ work from the perspective of a wedding client until now. Seeing her take a ridiculously hodgepodge collection of requests and turn them into a coherent (and frankly awesome) soundtrack to get married to, AND expertly deal with all the hassles that go along with the general role of wedding-DJ, I now have a much greater appreciation for her deep musical knowledge, skill, and wisdom. I heard so much of what I adore about all of Shakey’s music (the desire to rock a dance floor, educate some ears, and to share a bit of her loveable musical identity) in all the mixes she did for our wedding. Outstanding work! Thank you so much!!! -

Anna S. Married on 05/21/2023Hired Dj Shakey for my wedding after years of attending events when Dj Shakey performed
I’ve known Dj Shakey for years and have attended numerous events with Dj Shakey on the lineup or solo. When it came it my own wedding, it was a no brainer for me to hire her, not only for our shared music sensibilities but Also for her 1) experience as a wedding Dj 2) professionalism and responsiveness and 3) incredible music versatility. While I may like a specific genre a lot, Dj Shakey helped balance the wedding playlist flawlessly so that everyone had a great time. She was thoughtful about the details for venue considerations and gave a lot of guidance on that as well. -

Jason L. Married on 10/31/2022Shakey knows how to get things shaking
I have known DJ Shakey for some time. She is a veteran DJ in the NYC underground scene. I hired Shakey to DJ my wedding in up-state NY. She arrived on time and proceeded to play exactly the tunes we wanted to hear for the first part of the set. For the second part of the set, she let loose with the kind of beats that got things moving, including a somewhat reserved retired federal magistrate that found her way to the dance floor. I can wholeheartedly recommend DJ Shakey for your wedding. Whether you prefer the classics or cutting edge EDM from the underground, Shakey has what you are looking for. -

Shaun E. Married on 09/24/2022Book dj shakey now for the best party of your life!
DJ SHAKEY IS IT! You do NOT need to look any further for the greatest, grooviest, hippest, chillest DJ there IS! You and your party will be SHOUTING DJ Shakey’s name at the end of your event - we sure were!
She understood the mood of the room for EVERY moment! She predicted what we wanted to hear, and she presented songs that made everyone SCREAM with excitement! We had a Studio 54-disco wedding, and she mixed up 70s classics with 2000s grind music - it was UNREAL!
Not only did she know exactly how to get the party going, she was so spot on with every music cue in our ceremony, she was a SUPERB emcee, and was so communicative, helpful, and willing to help us throughout our entire wedding planning process. Nothing I can write will capture the sheer GENIUS of Shakey.
Please book her for your event, you will have the best damn party of your LIVES!

Cat F. Married on 09/10/2022Professional, creative & goes the extra mile
Julie (DJ Shakey) is a consummate professional. She is extremely responsive and incredibly easy to talk to. Julie is an expert at what she does yet she doesn't have ego. She also goes the extra mile: my venue wasn't being responsive or helpful. Julie offered to reach out to them directly and delicately (and persistently) communicated with them until they were able to supply the information she needed. She is personable; talking to her feels like talking to a friend. It's no surprise that she is respected member of the DJ community. We'd recommend her in a heartbeat. -

Shakey Made the Night
We've known Shakey as a party DJ for years, and so when we decided that a typical wedding DJ just wasn't going to cut it, we knew exactly who to call. She is a true master. So many of our guests told us how blown away they were by the music and the dancefloor energy. One couple that we invited hired her on the spot to play their wedding. Julie truly knows how to make an incredible party, and we'll be forever grateful for her contribution to our wedding. -

Katherine M. Married on 05/21/2022DJ Shakey - Queen of Vinyl
Julie absolutely killed it at our wedding. Music and vinyl are super important to us and she was an integral part of our party. Communication was always easy with her and she was able to incorporate traditional Croatian music with our vinyl American jams (not an easy task)... with great finesse. She is a true professional and artist. Thanks Julie! -

Kelsey E. Married on 12/18/2021Chillest DJ!
Julie was one of the first vendors we booked for our wedding. From our initial phone conversation, we really liked Julie's vibe: low-key, kind, calm, flexible, reliable, etc etc. This was so helpful, particularly planning a wedding during the rise of the Omicron variant. (Also, we are from NJ and were wary of the super-macho, cheesy, Jersey Shore wedding DJ--but she's not like that at all). Julie provided the perfect music for our ceremony and reception, and we all had SUCH a great time dancing under a disco ball. Thanks so much again! -

Hilary K. Married on 10/24/2021The best!!
We are so grateful and happy we found DJ Shakey, she was absolutely amazing at our wedding. We were looking for someone who wasn’t your classic “wedding DJ”, and Julie was exactly that. She was so easy to work with leading up to the date, and took the time to make sure she understood what we were looking for. We had some special requests for Israeli music which she was totally open to and did an amazing job incorporating throughout the night at the wedding. We wanted the night to just feel like a party - and it was! Everyone was on the dance floor all night, including my parents haha. Hire her now! Thank you so much Julie!! -

Carrie B. Married on 08/28/2021Excellent job in short order!
We were recommended DJ Shakey (Julie) after our DJ realized she had double booked herself just a month before our wedding date. We are SO grateful that Julie was able to step in at the last minute and drive up to the boonies from New York, first of all because we needed a DJ, and secondly (and more importantly) because she did an awesome job, was really thoughtful about making sure she was putting together a good play list for us, and was really communicative. So so many compliments from our guests on her music choices and mixes, and she is a really chill and cool person to boot :) Highly recommend! -

Rochelle Married on 08/17/2019Shakey rocked the party!
DJ Shakey did a really amazing job at our wedding. In addition to playing an awesome selection of songs, she handled a lot of logistics like coordinating different songs during our ceremony, setting up speakers in multiple locations, and introducing the speeches. When the dance party started DJ Shakey really rocked it and people went wild (there was line dancing, a mosh pit, and crowd surfing, but if you want something more peaceful we're sure she can deliver that too). Shakey is really easy to work with, super nice, and very professional - we definitely recommend her for your wedding! -

Perfect Collection of Music We Loved and Could Dance to!
We met DJ Shakey at another friend’s wedding two years ago and knew we had to have her at our wedding! She took the time to discuss the schedule of the night with me and made sure all our favorite songs were played. My guests and I danced ALL night and had the BEST time on the dance floor. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect collection of fun, dance music for our wedding! Not to mention, Julie is the nicest person and so easy to talk to and so flexible! Perfect night :) -
