    Great live music and mp3

    Guests loved the music & Joe was on time for calls even during a hurricane. He also had us fill out a worksheet to get exactly what we wanted.

    Hes the goat

    I cannot recommend Joe enough! He did a fantastic job engaging the audience - and honestly I was so overwhelmed with wedding planning that I hadn’t even thought about the songs he was supposed to play! He took my last minute requests and made me the most beautiful wedding and I cannot thank him enough. I would give 10 stars if I could!! The amount of talent and humor in this man - I can’t even explain! You will not regret having him on your special day

    We love Joe!

    Joe is the best! From start to finish, he was such a pleasure to work with as we planned our wedding day. He took the time to listen to our needs and made sure that all of our song requests were played during the reception. He is an expert at reading the room and knew which music to play at exactly the right time. He is truly a jack of all trades! He played the guitar beautifully during dinner and transitioned seamlessly to DJ for the remainder of the night bumping all of our favorite tunes. Guests of all ages were up on the dance floor the entire night. We truly lucked out with Joe and cannot recommend him enough for your next event!

    He does it all!

    Cannot recommend Joe enough! From start to finish, he was incredible and truly elevated our wedding. We entrusted him with the sound design (DJ services AND live vocals for our ceremony/cocktail hour), and he absolutely delivered. Guests have been raving about how lively the dance floor was throughout the entire night, and we completely attribute that to Joe’s ability to read the room and keep the energy high. Even with minimal direction on our music preferences, he seamlessly adapted to the crowd, making sure everyone stayed on their feet. We are so grateful to have had him as a key part of our celebration, and without a doubt, we would recommend him to anyone looking for a talented and professional DJ!

    Best DJ out there!

    My wedding was this weekend and people are still telling me how amazing Joe was. He played guitar and sang for our ceremony, He played live for our cocktail hour and while we ate and he was absolutely amazing. A lot of my new husbands family are musicians and the rave he received was incredible. They were all beyond impressed and wanted his information for events. Then he switched up to awesome Dj. We wanted a good mix and requested clean music due to kids in attendance. He was able to accommodate our request and still make the music killer. My husbands almost 90 year old grandparents down to the babies were all out on the dance floor loving it. Me and my husband even got some of our favorite emo music in there, in the perfect amounts! He is incredible and worth every penny. I would 100% recommend his for any event.

    Thank you!!

    We are so appreciative to Joe for everything he did to make our wedding special. Not only did he keep our dance floor packed all night, he also didn’t miss a beat when we decided last minute we wanted to add in more lighting and a custom gobo to project on our venue wall. Everyone commented on what a lovely ambiance his live guitar brought to our ceremony and he even went above and beyond to learn a new song for us. Whether you’re in Maine, Florida, or anywhere in-between, Joe is your guy!

    Thank you for everything, Joe!

    Ah-Mah-Zing!!

    Picking the DJ was probably one of the most nerve-wracking vendor choices we had to make, however, all of those anxieties vanished with the first phone call with Joe! He was a breeze to work with, has fair pricing, and I received so many compliments from our wedding guests! He added everything we wanted and kept out the songs we didn't want. Our dance floor stayed packed all night! We can't recommend Joe more!

    Joe is amazing

    Joe was so easy to work with! We had a destination wedding and he was always available by email and phone anytime we had questions. Our day would not have been possible without him. We ended up running ahead of schedule and he was so flexible and went with the flow. He is very professional and personable when it comes to the big day. I could not recommend Joe enough!

    Amazing DJ!

    We had Joe as the DJ for our wedding and we couldn’t have been happier with the job he did. He was super easy to work with and communicate with. Joe is very personable and organized. It made getting the details we wanted easy to figure out. He played live music for our wedding ceremony and dinner and it was amazing! He nailed exactly what we were looking for! I would highly recommend Joe! Easily the best vendor we worked with!

    Joe Farren is a fantastic DJ and singer!

    I highly recommend Joe Farren! He has a fantastic voice and really knows how to read the room. We provided some direction on the music we like and didn’t like and just trusted his experience. Everyone was very complimentary of him. His prices are very reasonable and we were very happy!

    Excellent!

    Joe was amazing! He is professional, friendly, and fun. He was able to perfectly capture the vibe for our cocktail hour and dinner with his acoustic performance, and then seamlessly transitioned into the all-time greatest dance party for the reception.

    Life of the Party

    Our guests are still raving about DJ Joe Farren! The mix of live music and DJ'ing was perfect for our wedding. We loved the live music during cocktail hour and dinner. He ramped up the party with our favorite hits and kept the dance floor filled all night long! We had so much fun and our guests keep talking about how our wedding was the most fun wedding they have attended! Thanks to Joe for bringing the party!

    Couldn't have asked for better!

    Joe Farren created the most perfect and beautiful environment at our wedding. He played piano with classical songs for our ceremony, acoustic guitar with chills songs for cocktail hour and dinner and then DJ for the dancing and party! Often I see at weddings a DJ that can be (for lack of a better word) kind of annoying or in a way making it their personal show. Joe was the opposite. Our day was made by the relaxed, dream-like music he played for us that day. I will forever be thankful for his laid back, calm, focused, flexible, TALENTED and kind personality. One of my friends said afterwards, "I think the musician was challenging us to see how long we would stay on the dance floor...he won!" HAHA Dance floor was filled the entire night and everyone had an amazing time. I truly think so much of this was due to Joe. He brings so much to the table! Especially for a bride who is so stressed with planning and overwhelmed (I think we all are) - Joe can take a huge weight off your shoulders. He was the perfect answer for the music that day. I just could not recommend him enough! Cheers and congrats!

    All-In-One Musician and DJ

    We hired Joe to play both acoustic guitar, sing, and provide DJ services for our summer wedding in Maine. From the first interaction, a connection with Joe was instant. He helped make process simple, seamless, and professional. He even accommodated a few late changes to song choices and quick practice on our wedding day for our first dance. I can only provide the strongest of recommendations for Joe and for you to seek him out for your event. He kept the party going until the very last moment of our wedding.

    Joe is the. Best

    Joe had our guests on the dance floor all night. I didn't even want to leave the floor for a glass of water. Each song was better than the next. He did such a great job seeing what the crowd responded to! It was also so nice that he was able to do it all, from performing music at the ceremony and cocktail hour, announcing us, to DJ'ing all night, we would 10/10 recommend Joe to anyone.

    On a high note!

    Joe was great to work with! He played the piano for the ceremony and DJ'd for the reception! He was responsive and asked a lot of questions about our style of music and what we really wanted incorporated into the night. He played LCD Soundsystem for me!! Great guy great music!

    Truly Amazing

    My wife and I hired Joe for our wedding. Joe hit the mark in every category and really added to such an amazing night. He made planning the music for our reception and cocktail hour super simple and painless.
    What really sets Joe apart from other DJ's is his ability to deliver a really solid live performance. For our cocktail hour and during dinner we asked him to play instrumentals and to sing. He really set a great mood. And for his DJing, he can really read a room. There were one or two moments where people were moving off the dance floor and Joe played a song that packed the dance floor without missing a beat. I 100% recommend Joe to anyone as a DJ and certainly if you're looking to add some live music to your event.

    Thanks Joe!

    The best live DJ!

    Where do I start? If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Hire him. You won't regret it. We were thoroughly impressed by his creative energy and positive vibe that created a wonderful ambiance for our wedding. The dance floor was completely packed the entire night and he was so easy going and flexible with all our requests. He also preformed live music for our ceremony (piano) and live music during our cocktail and dinner hours the guests raved about it! So responsive to emails and calls. Highly recommend Joe. He does it all!

    Wedding Day DJ!

    Joe was an incredible DJ for our wedding day. Leading up to the wedding, Joe was always responsive in a timely manner and was open to hearing our music ideas for the wedding. Joe was a great guide in helping select music and even coordinated playing guitar with my cousin singing my first dance! On the wedding day, Joe performed live music beautifully and catered the music well for our guests. I would highly recommend Joe to DJ and perform at anyone's wedding!

    Amazing DJ and Live Music!

    Joe did such an amazing job with our wedding. He provides both live music and DJ services. Our guests loved listening to him play and sing as well as DJ! He played everything we asked him to including some very unusual music choices we wanted for the dinner portion of our reception. We wanted music from movies and video games we love and Joe made it happen flawlessly! He couldn't have made our night more perfect! Joe is an excellent musician and that is very much reflected in his work. He really knows how to read the crowd and play the right things to keep the party going. If you want a superb music experience for your wedding or event then hire Joe!

    Highly recommended!!!

    We were introduced to Joe by our wedding planner (Katy of Coastal Coordinating — also wonderful to work with!) and couldn’t be happier! From our first telephone meeting, it was easy to see that Joe had a great, positive vibe. He provided a very thorough questionnaire to help guide us through all of the music selections and provided knowledgeable input and advice in areas where we were stuck. On the day of our wedding (the first time meeting in person), he was very personable, and his delivery throughout our entire wedding ceremony and reception was seamless. We really enjoyed his live singing, acoustic guitar, piano, and mix of recorded music. Kept us all dancing and helped to make it a memorable evening for all! We can’t say thank you enough!!!!
