    Hartjen Wedding

    Tim and Marc single-handedly made my wedding day one to remember for the rest of my life! Thank you both for such an awesome night full of fun, laughter and joy! Also for including my family and playing their song of choice ( la vaca)! Hoping to work with them again for a different event in the future!! 300 stars out of 10!

    A gem of a Wedding DJ

    My husband and I recently had our wedding at Madonna Inn and decided to go with Tim as our DJ. From the beginning of the process Tim had been helpful. Making a Spotify playlist to organize for him was actually pretty easy and took the stress off us with planning.

    On the day of Rehearsal we weren't aware that we didn't have a Coordinator to guide us. Tim swooped in and saved the day by directing us and helping us understand the order of events. He went above and beyond to help us.

    The day of the wedding Tim helped keep things in order and helped supplement songs I totally spaced on. My husband and I highly recommend Tim for his patience, professionalism, and value in his work. Thank you so much!

    DJ Mark is the Best

    I always say that a DJ can make or break a wedding, and my wife and I could not have asked for a better DJ for our wedding than Mark. His transitions were seamless, he respected our musical choices, and there was not a single lull on our dance floor. Out of all of our vendors, he was the most communicative, respectful, and professional throughout the planning process, and was flexible with all of our needs. My wife and I attended nine weddings in 2023, and DJ Mark was far and away the most talented DJ we experienced. We are still having guests come to us and comment about how great he was and asking for his contact info. If you want your dance floor to be an absolute party, book Mark, you won’t be disappointed.

    Best dj/mc for our wedding!

    DJ Mark with Modern Symphonies was hands down the best we could have asked for to DJ/MC our wedding. From the planning stages, answering questions, song recommendations, getting specific song versions we wanted... to being flexible with hours when we needed him to have an earlier start time after we had already signed... he was phenomenal! Our ceremony & reception music was exactly what we had asked for, and his audio/mic set up was perfectly executed so there were no issues when it came down to having our guests being able to hear our vows, speeches, etc. ! He was friendly with guests and kept the party going all night! He made this part of the wedding process so stress free, we did not have to worry about anything other than picking our special songs. Could not recommend him and his services more! 10/10 recommend Mark!

    Best DJ ever!!

    DJ Mark did a wonderful job on our wedding day. The dance floor was packed for the entire 3 hours that it was UPenn during our wedding reception and he even made sure the slow songs had good participation. His announcements were all impeccable. We highly recommend DJ Mark for all your future event needs. He truly helped create the wedding day of our dreams!

    Mark was the absolute BEST!

    Mark did such an amazing job! My husband and I kept talking about what a great job he did and made sure to play all the good music! I would highly recommend hiring Mark for a DJ if you are wanting to have a blast! He was such a great vibe to have on our big day!

    Fantastic Experience With Steve!

    Steve was very accommodating to our specific music requests, and did a fantastic job managing sound throughout the day. Ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception all went flawlessly and we never had to worry about a thing. Very happy with all interactions and services, thank you Steve!

    A night we’ll never forget

    My husband and I had the most amazing time at our wedding! Tim and Mark were so helpful and made the transitions between songs during the ceremony, speeches during the reception and everything else before and after run so smooth. The music selection was awesome and I was dancing until the very last song.

    Best DJ for Wedding!

    DJ Mark was an amazing DJ! From the beginning he was very nice and accommodating. On the wedding day he made all the necessary announcements, mashed up our music nicely, and was exactly what we were looking for in a DJ! Thank you Mark!

    Beyond expectations

    We hired DJ Tim for our wedding and normally I’m not one to go out of my way to write reviews but he just blew us away. Besides the music and entertainment being phenomenal he ended up stepping up and helping with actual coordination in some aspects. His whole demeanor and presence added so much to the whole night. He made the wedding noticeably better and more relaxing. If you are wondering if he is worth the money is his. No question. 15/10. We would recommend him without hesitation to anyone for any kind of event

    Wonderful experience!

    Tim was absolutely amazing and easy to work with. He runs a family business and you can really feel the love in their work. Him and his daughter came to the rehearsal to practice which really helped this big day go very smoothly. We were not as on top of our music choices as we should have been, and Tim was quick to give great recommendations for songs for different transitions during the wedding. The day of the wedding he had at least 60% of the wedding on the dance floor!

    He also did beautiful videography for us as well. The video was beautiful and something I will forever cherish. I would highly recommend Tim and his team for DJ services and videography.

    The Best!!

    My guests can’t stop talking about how my wedding was the funnest one they’ve been to. Tim kept the dance floor full ALL night long. A DJ either makes or breaks a reception, and I can say with all honesty that it’s because of Tim that my wedding turned out to be the greatest night of my life! Tim is kind, professional, extremely responsive, and definitely knows how to keep the party going!

    Steve is the best!

    We hired Modern Symphony as our wedding DJ and Steve was the absolute best! His communication leading up to the big day was amazing and the guests loved the music! He kept the party going and was overall was just a very nice guy and very accommodating! He even went the extra mile to be at rehearsal so that the music was on point. Can’t recommend them enough!

    Fantastic experience with Modern Symphony!

    Tim was excellent! He is incredibly professional, loves what he does, and made our night the best party there was!

    Tim had experience with the venue, which was a major plus for us and was also affordable. He hopped on a few calls with me, my coordinator, and my photographer to review the timeline and ensure everything would run smoothly. During dinner when he saw my husband and I weren’t being served dinner, he kindly took the initiative to get us some food, which was way out of the job description but grateful appreciated! Everyone was on the dance floor the entire night! He even got us some footage and made us a reel of the dance party!!!

    In all, I couldn’t be more happy with this DJ service!

    Highly Recommended!

    Modern Symphony was recommended to us by our wedding coordinator and had the most economical package offerings out of the different DJs we looked at so we went with them. We got paired with DJ Mark and were in contact up until the wedding. He sent us a form to fill in with what songs and when to play them and absolutely nailed everything. All our guests said they were able to hear us perfectly throughout the ceremony and all song requests were taken (by our request). We had a mix of families and DJ Mark was able to seamlessly include some Mexican tunes as well as the good stuff for our white guests too which we were so thankful for. DJ Mark even let me (the bride) accomplish my dream of getting behind the turntable and scratching the record (caught on video!!). He recommended us to do the photo with all tables in one song which we hadn’t planned to do but turned out amazing and made great memories. He kept the party on track with announcements and was an awesome emcee when needed. We can’t thank him enough and recommend him enough!!!!

    Mark brought the party!

    Mark with Modern Symphony was the best DJ/MC we could have asked for!! He was professional, he communicated with me about music before the wedding, he helped me make music decisions when I was indecisive, he came to our rehearsal to prepare and meet everyone. During the ceremony the mic was flawless (I’ve been to weddings where the mic doesn’t work well and that did not happen!). His sound system and music choices were spot-on. It was truly a perfect day and my husband and I couldn’t be happier. Thank you so much, Modern Symphony, for making our day flawless and bringing the dance party!!

    Added the perfect touch to our special day

    Modern Symphony was highly recommended by our venue, we decided to go with them based on the numerous positive reviews, and we were paired up with Steve. Working with Steve was a breeze and he was very friendly and professional. He met with us on the day of our recital to hammer out some last minute songs we forgot about and meeting him in person went fantastically. He did a wonderful job at the ceremony and the reception. We provided him a playlist of various songs to try and get the musical theming we were going for across and he got the music vibe and expanded upon it. Steve did great song transitions that kept the mood alive and people dancing all night and even took requests from our quests. We both fussed over the music the most out of anything else for our wedding and Steve really delivered on the experience!

    Best Wedding DJ

    From our first interaction with Tim to the end of our wedding night, we couldn't have asked for a better DJ. Tim was great at providing feedback to us during our rehearsal about when to step out. Yes, Tim was at our rehearsal to figure out how/where to setup as well as to incorporate our song choices during the rehearsal. What a pleasant surprise - talk about going above and beyond.

    With our luck, our wedding night was was the only night it rained in February in SLO and he created the perfect playlist that kept our guests dancing all night long. Our guests are still raving about how much they had fun they had, and it’s all thanks to Modern Symphony!!

    Best dj ever

    I truly don’t think that I could recommend Tim from Modern Symphony more if I tried. Talk about going above and beyond for a couple!
    Our wedding day it POURED and Tim made all the adjustments without a single complaint and even held an umbrella over his equipment which left everyone cracking up at his commitment! I truly left the evening so ecstatic with our choice to have Tim and felt like I made a friend out of working with him.
    I was amazed and everyone loved the music that he played, he worked with us on our ideas and no idea was too big. He even assisted with things so not in his job scope and I just was amazed with his talent! If you have an opportunity to work with Tim from Modern Symphony, DO IT!

    Mark is great!

    Mark was very responsive and flexible with our music selection. He was professional and helped us put on a great wedding. Our venue did not have a power source at the ceremony cite, but Mark was able to manage without the use of overpowering loud generators. Thanks for everything Mark!

    Best wedding DJ!

    We hired Tim for our 10/22/22 wedding in Santa Ynez at a private residence. Before the day, we had a couple of calls with Tim to review our wedding expectations. Tim was very friendly and responsive on the calls and helped put my mind at ease for all those little things we brides stress about leading up to the day.
    During our wedding, everything Tim did went perfectly! He even made sure to fade out our first dance song after enough time had passed to get the photos, but before it got weird having us swaying there in front of all our guests (this was one of those things we talked to him about leading up to the wedding and he did an amazing job!). We had many guests comment throughout the night about what a great job the DJ was doing picking and mixing our songs. He did an excellent job of reading the vibes and made sure to pick the perfect crowd-pleasers back-to-back-to-back.
    If you are looking for a reasonably priced, professional, fun, and experienced DJ for your wedding, look no further than Modern Symphony!
