Leah Sent on 10/18/2024Fantastic DJ!
Zach of Kernsy Events was fantastic to work with. It’s hard to find a DJ that understands your vibe, can guide the evening, and also not be overbearing. Zach was flexible, organized, and super helpful. He assisted with multiple choreographed dance numbers, a song that I sang, and even had Turkish songs ready to play for my husband and his family. I couldn’t recommend him more highly! -

Jenna Sent on 10/15/2024We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ. Highly recommended for anyone looking to create amazing memories with the perfect soundtrack!
We had the absolute best experience with Zach for our wedding DJ! He brought just the right level of energy, keeping the vibe lively and fun throughout the entire event. One of the highlights for us was when he called out my nephew, who was dancing solo on the floor—such a sweet gesture that made him feel like a star!
His timing was impeccable; he knew exactly when to play iconic songs like Horses and Johnny Farnham that had everyone singing along. He mixed in some great bangers, too, which kept the dance floor packed all night. Beyond his musical talent, he was so kind and respectful to everyone, making the entire night feel that much more special.

Claire Sent on 09/27/2024The BEST Experience!
DJ Kernsy was a joy to work with before and during the wedding. He is an excellent communicator and made us feel extremely comfortable throughout the process. On the day of our wedding, DJ Kernsy needed little to no guidance, he is the type of person to take initiative to ensure things go smoothly. Now on to the actual dancing portion of the wedding, DJ Kernsy absolutely killed it. Our guests kept raving about him! He has an incredible ability to read the crowd and get people excited.
We did not have a wedding planner and DJ Kernsy truly made it easy. Even the other vendors on-site were telling us how much they liked him. He is someone you can TRUST and he'll go above and beyond for you. -

Devin Sent on 06/26/2024Fantastic dj
We couldn't have made a better choice than going with Zach for our day! From the moment he started playing to the end, he had the dance floor packed and made it impossible to leave with such good music. Throughout the process, he was the perfect mix of easygoing and professional - providing his input to make the day better. Simply put, if you want to have a stress-free DJ that you know is going to make your party a true 'PARTY', go with Zach :) -

Hayley Sent on 03/05/2024Best dj ever!
I had the pleasure of working with Zach last fall for a wedding. The music was exclusively EDM for the dance floor, and it was the best party ever. Guest of all age ranges were up and dancing until the end of the night. He had seamless transitions and great song versions. His professionalism, experience, and understanding of music really shines. The entire experience was awesome, I only wish I had the playlist to bump in the car on my drive home. Choose DJ Kernsy for all your Brooklyn or Manhattan wedding dj needs, highly recommend! -

Kirsten Sent on 10/12/2023Wonderful experience
We had a pretty non traditional wedding, laid back, funky, moody disco vibes. I sent Zach a Spotify playlist to give him an idea of the vibes. He was responsive to all of our emails, showed up with plenty of time the day of, took care of his own setup, and we had an absolute blast with his set.
I danced the whole night, only sitting down to eat, and my guests had so much fun.
Not only did he knock it out of the park with the music I suggested, he branched out into other genres (with my permission) and really made it a night to remember. He also helped me pick a song for our processional, as I didn’t want a traditional wedding march.
He was professional, punctual, and he did an amazing job. -

Daniel Sent on 10/12/2023A seamless experience!
I hired Zach for my brother’s 120 person wedding about 3 hours outside of New York City. He was amazing from start to finish! He set up an easy process for choosing what type of music we wanted to hear, and even helped the bride with her walk down the aisle song. He arrived perfectly on time to set up all the sound including the microphones for the ceremony, and helped us find a solution for using two different rooms for the ceremony and party.
The music was perfect from start to finish, he took our suggestions and built on them in a fun way to keep young, old and in between dancing. To quote the bride: “I don’t think I sat down for more than two minutes!” In a very stressful process of planning the wedding, Zach made the sound and music the easiest part. Highest recommendation! -

Jenna Sent on 09/19/2023Perfect Match DJ
Zach was the absolute perfect DJ for our wedding. We (and our friends) like house music/new disco, but also cared about having music everyone knew (across generations) so everyone would be up and dancing. Zach totally understood us, and the progression throughout the night was perfect. We got aligned on vibes for different parts of the night (guest arrival, cocktail hour, dinner/speeches, start of party vs mid party vs end of party). He asked really good specific questions to make sure everything was exactly what we wanted (ie do you want this version vs this version; stopping this song at 48 seconds makes more sense that 52 seconds for an intro, etc.). He never made us feel stressed- he perfectly hits the balance of detail oriented and chill. We gave him a lot of base to work with (ie must hear these songs, this is the general vibe for this part of the night, here are a bunch of songs we'd like during cocktail hour but not a full hour worth) and then trusted his judgement to flesh everything out. He absolutely knocked it out of the park. All of our must plays were played, all of our "do not plays" were not played. Our parents were out and dancing all night, which is a tough feat to accomplish when playing music to also keep a younger crowd happy/engaged. There are a few songs that are special to our friend group, and singing/dancing to those at our wedding will forever be core memories. He made it SUCH a memorable party for us and our guests. It's clear that Zach is an experienced professional- it rained toward the end of cocktail hour and some of his equipment got wet. He needed to do a lot of pivoting in the moment, and guests were never aware of it. He kept the vibes going. Something people kept saying to us was, "I've never seen a bride and groom have this much fun at their own wedding." This had a ton to do with Zach, and we are so thankful we picked him to be there on our special day. 11/10; can't recommend him enough. -

Barry Sent on 06/15/2023Dj zack really delivered the goods!
We had a bit of a non traditional wedding and Zack executed it flawlessly and with no judgement. We wanted a hyped up party and he really delivered. He was actually being a DJ and not just pressing play on a playlist. He was responding live to the vibes. 10 out of 10. -

I can't recommend Zach enough! From start to finish, Zach was thoughtful, communicative, and patient with our many requests and questions. Zach walked us through the entire process of what choosing music looked like, through to the small details on the day of. I have to emphasize the communicativeness of Zach--he was beyond my favorite vendor to chat with because he was incredibly responsive and thorough in his explanations of whatever question I directed to him. It was clear from the beginning that he was excited to celebrate our big day and when the day finally arrived, the dance floor was packed all night which was exactly what we wanted! We had a few last minute weather changes with our ceremony and again, Zach transitioned his setup seamlessly from what was supposed to be a partial outdoor wedding, to an indoor ceremony and reception. His calmness despite the temporary mayhem added to a completely stressless and lovely event. I can't recommend Zach enough! -

Zach was such an easy vendor to work with and he's a great DJ. Everyone was dancing til the very end and he played everything we wanted to hear. Do not hesitate to hire Zach for your wedding or special event. -

Andrea Sent on 11/16/2021If you want to have the best dance party of your life, hire Zach Kerns!!
We hired Zach to be the Dj at our wedding and I am beyond glad that we did. Our wedding was pushed back twice and he was accommodating, professional, and very responsive. On the day of, he arrived on time and did the most amazing job. He took care of the music for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. For the ceremony we gave him a list of songs we wanted to have played and he looped and timed them all perfectly. During cocktail hour I could hear the music from a distance while we took photos and I said out loud at least 3 times "I love this song." All of the music during the reception was perfect and once the dance floor was opened up to all it was a constant dance party until the end of the night. There was not a single song that had people wanting to take a break. He read the crowd perfectly and it was the absolute best. -

Michelle Sent on 10/20/2021Responsive, professional, and incredibly fun DJ
I highly recommend Zach! Our wedding was originally set for Nov 2020 and we had to move in a few times. Any time I had to update Zach with a new date, he responded so quickly.
We even had to deal with a last minute venue change 2 months before the big day. The venue change meant Zach had to bring more equipment and he was incredibly kind and responsive and was able to accommodate for all the last minute changes.
During the wedding, Zach killed it! Everyone was dancing the night away! -

Emily Sent on 09/21/2021Perfect DJ for a Great Party
Zach was exactly the DJ we were looking for. He has a chill vibe, is extremely professional, with great music compilations, and the ability to throw an amazing dance party. His range in music selection were the perfect mix of eclectic and crowd favorites, setting the mood from cocktail hour all through the last song. As one of the first weddings of the summer, our guests came excited and ready to dance. They did not leave disappointed. We've since gotten many compliments from our guests on the music being on point! We would highly recommend Zach for any wedding or event if you're looking for an experienced, professional, talented DJ. -

Mike Sent on 10/17/2019The Only DJ You Need to Research
Music is Life to my husband and I. We knew that picking a DJ we both loved was very important to us. We were so grateful to have found Zach because he made everything so easy and fun! He was so communicative up until our wedding day and always made us feel like we were taken care of. From the ceremony to the dance party til midnight, Zach delivered epically. Everyone kept telling us at the wedding and days later how amazing the music was. The dance floor was FIRE. I cannot thank the universe enough for bringing us DJ Zach Kerns. -

Zach was super professional, very accommodating, and I knew we were in good hands with him on our special day. If you are looking for someone you can trust to handle DJ your wedding, look no further. -

Iva Sent on 10/07/2019Great experience
Zach was a pleasure to work with! He is easy going, responsive, reasonably priced (especially for NYC), and he was open to all our suggestions / requests.
I had a very specific vision for the music played at our wedding (probably much more specific than a typical customer) & Zach was happy to work with me on the playlist & to play all our "must have" songs, including finding & playing some very rare songs in foreign languages (something that other DJs we originally contacted refused to agree to). This was very important for me.
Lastly, our guests were on the dance floor all night & everybody had a great time! -

Zach was great to work with! Very responsive and professional, he did a fantastic job doing some MC work and most importantly keeping the dance floor moving all night. Would definitely recommend! -

Jennifer Sent on 07/23/2019Great music, vibe, and energy!
Zach was our DJ for our anniversary dinner, and he kept the music and dancing SUPER LIT throughout the night. He really knew how to gauge the audience to deliver the best vibes. I couldn't have had a better DJ! Super professional and incredibly accommodating (we asked for additional hours on the last minute) - I can't recommend more! -
![Marcella]()
Marcella Sent on 06/14/2019The easiest vendor to work with!
Zach was so pleasant to work with! When our previous DJ bailed a month before the wedding we were in a panic to find someone else. Luckily Zach was available and came recommended by a friend. I truly believe everything happens for a reason because we quickly realized having Zach as our DJ really completed our wedding.
He was easy to work with, listened to our requests without hesitation and delivered an evening of tunes perfectly tailored for the different moments of the event.
Thanks, Zach! -

Matt Sent on 10/23/2018What a blast with DJ Kernsy Marfa, TX Wedding
With all the planning that goes into a wedding, nothing is quite as important as the music and I couldn’t be happier with Kernsy Events. My wife and I got married in Marfa, TX. Not the easiest place to get to. Zach made it a breeze. He said the travel wouldn’t be a problem and looked forward to being back in Marfa. We discussed the feel we were going for and suggested some songs and he played off that to rave reviews. Everyone was so happy and we danced for hours. I recommend Zach for a job well done, being easy to work with, and for playing music that gets people moving. What a night it was! Thanks Zach!! Matt and Marie
