    My husband, Mike, and I used Marlin Disc Jockeys for our 7/1/16 wedding and we are so thrilled that we did! This vendor came highly recommended from our Best Man, who had gotten married last summer. While we were planning last summer, he mentioned working with Marlin and we contacted Susan. Susan was very sweet and helpful and willing to work with us from the start! She set us up with the same DJ as our best man, DJ Pete Tursi, who was awesome! Both Susan and Pete were in contact with us throughout our entire planning process and were so helpful. They responded quickly to all calls and e-mails and were always happy to answer questions as I thought of them. They worked with us on what we could afford and provided both ceremony and reception music for our wedding. Pete was wonderful and had so many great ideas. He kept the guests up and dancing all night long and kept thanking us for the party crowd we promised him saying it was fun! This shows how wonderful this company is - they care about what they do and they perform well! We couldn't be happier with our decision to work with DJ Pete Tursi and Marlin Disc Jockeys. If we could do it over again, we would work with them again! THANK YOU SUSAN, PETE, AND ALL AT MARLIN DISC JOCKEYS FOR HELPING US CELEBRATE THE BEST DAY EVER!! XO, Ashley & Mike DeMarco

    I would highly recommend Marlin Disc Jockey’s to any couple looking for a DJ for their wedding. Dave was so accommodating and friendly throughout the entire process. When we had our meeting with him he had so many suggestions for us and made the whole process of picking our songs so easy. Our dance floor was packed the entire night. I still have people saying our wedding was by far the best they have been to in a long time. Dave was so interactive and made sure all of our guests were having a great time, especially my husband and I. We also used their photo booth/up lighting and I would highly recommend this as well. Our guests had a blast with the photo booth and marlin dj’s gives you an album put together with copies of the pictures your guests take with their signatures/messages next to the photos. I can’t thank Dave and the rest of the team at marlin dj’s for making our wedding unforgettable. Choose Marlin Disc Jockey’s as your wedding entertainment, you will not regret a thing!!

    One word to describe Dave Kim of Marlin DJ's - INCREDIBLE!!!! All of our guests loved the music, they really loved how Dave showed everyone how to do the dances - like the electric slide. I would recommend Marlin DJ's to anyone.

    WOW!! What a great wedding we had with Marlin DJs!! Our ceremony music was perfect and the reception was so much fun! All my guests were dancing until the last note! Dave made our day so special, he even came out to my bridal party to make sure he had all of their song requests and names correct for their announcements!

    We especially loved the special song/dance he had for the children that attended our wedding! It was so adorable to see them on the dance floor doing their dance! I also really appreciated how Dave announced the different dances/songs so that my guests were aware of what was going on during the reception!

    Marlin DJs even provided our reception guests with a photo booth and fun props so that we could take fun pictures! Then, my new husband and I were given a beautifully made book of all the photos from the booth as well as the loving comments from our guests!

    Thank you Dave and Marlin DJs for making our wedding ceremony and reception alive with beautiful music and amazing photo booth fun!!

    PERFECT.. Dave had everyone up and Dancing from the moment the dancing started. He did a great job introducing everyone.. Even getting their names correct.. and there were some hard ones. He was very interacive. I had a lot of people ask me who he was, and telling me how great he was. Loved that he taught a line dance. and the enitre reception was out on the floor learing what to do. I would reccomend Dave and his team to anyone! He kept the flow going and a good mix of oldies and new hits. He totally played to the crowd!

    Dave Kim with Marlin DJ was so easy to work with! He was very interactive with the guests and many guests had positive feedback. We had a list of requested music that he graciously played, including a song that was not in his portfolio. Overall, I would recommend Dave to everyone! I have been to about a dozen weddings over the past year and he is by far one of the most entertaining people out there!

    Marlin DJs were great. They contact you early and give you plenty of time to think about what you want to hear on your special day. They give you suggestions when you are stuck. They will play whatever type of music you want. They are flexible and caring and they want to make your day the best that they can. We really enjoyed our music and would highly recommend them to anyone.

    We have had many wedding's in our family and our wedding still holds the record for most fun! People still talk about our wedding almost 2 years later. Dave Kim does an amazing job, keeping the music going, the props never end and everyone has a blast! On our wedding video, there is a clip where we can't even see the dance floor, it's covered with all of our family and friends dancing and no one is sitting down!!! How often does that happen at a wedding? I am sure only with Dave does that happen!!!

    Highly recommend DJ Dave

    Hiring DJ Dave may have been the best choice we made for our wedding!!! Our guests are still talking about how awesome he was! He kept the volume at the perfect level for our outdoor venue and for our guests to be able to have conversations if they did not feel like dancing. He does an awesome job making announcements as needed throughout the night and he was even willing to run the shoe game for us! His online portal was very helpful... it helped keep us organized and he played all the music that we requested. One of the best parts of having Dave at our reception was he led group dances and line dances, which were so much fun and got people out on the dance floor! I cannot say enough good things about Marlin DJs. We highly recommend DJ Dave!!!

    Marlin Disc Jockeys's reply:

    Thanks for letting Marlin Disc Jockey's Dave Kim (me) be a part of your special day! The shoe game was a big hit!

    We used Marlin's photo booth service for our wedding reception and it was fantastic. My friend used them a few months prior and we had so much fun, I knew I had to book them. Both the kids and adults had a blast and the resulting photos are hilarious. I love that they make copies for each person in the photo, one for us (in a scrapbook that guests could sign), and on a disk.

    Getting ready for my wedding from another country was a difficult task which at first Marlin DJ was wonderful and understanding. I met with the owner at which time told me that he personally would not be working my wedding but assured me the highest professionalism of the DJ that would be there. Upon my arrival to the reception the DJ was completely confused and not taking direction from my sister who was in charge of coordinating our entrance to the reception. She by the way is a professional event planner and has had to work with multiple vendors at one time. Due to his lack of organization he ended up not getting us started on time but did not start the "party" until much later then what the agreement was. We ended up having less than an hour of dancing for our wedding! When calling the owner to discuss possible reimbursement after extending our party and paying extra for an additional hour (obviously not getting it), the owner would not budge. I would strongly advise looking for someone else to DJ your wedding!
    **note there are great DJs out there for far less money and less headaches!

    Marlin Disc Jockeys's reply:

    Thanks for the feedback but only half the picture was painted here. She neglected to mention that the rings were forgotten before the ceremony and coupled with the fact that they were brought to the reception on horseback carriage also put them 45 minutes late. When Joe the DJ wanted to get things rolling for dancing he was instructed by the bride and groom to wait till they finished greeting their tables which put their event even farther behind Joe the DJ had two people trying to tell him what to do (mother of the bride and the so-called event planner - Sister) which contradicted what Joe got from the bride and groom. (Old adage everyone wants to be a chief) Joe tried to accomadate all three but he has been doing it long enough to know what the Bride and Groom says goes.
    My company Marlin Disc Jockeys did not charge them for traveling on this event (the event was 2+ hours away) and we went out of our way to make sure the Groom was hooked up to our system so he could sing his bride a song. Organization fault was not ours we know what to do at an event to keep things rolling but in this case there were individuals that obviously don't do weddings trying to call the shots. Joe the DJ has been with my company for 8 years and I have a stack of customer feedback and survey sheets that giving him exceptional praise of his energetic and enthusiastic performances at all types of events including weddings
    We did not refund money because it was not our fault that the event lagged. If we would have been at fault i would have been more than happy to.
    If they didn't like our services why did they even extend their event and hour? Joe said once the dancing got underway it was great.
    I would be more than happy to discuss this furthur and they can contact me anytime at my office line (215) 855-7688.

    It has been almost two years since my wedding. My wedding was perfect with one exception... the DJ. He was horrible. I paid a premium for amateur work. He started the entrance late-- almost played the wrong song upon our entrance... did not even announce the best mans name... had a cheesey top 40 voice... It was so bad, that at one point I told him to stop talking and just play music. He barely even played my list AND did not play guests requests. I am sorry but he was an idiot. I look back upon that day and only feel regret for a poor choice of DJ. Save your money and time-- go somewhere else.
