    Amazing, attentive DJs!

    Everyone we worked with at Philly Custom DJ was fantastic. Very professional and passionate about what they do. There was a lot of thought and meetings that went into creating the best flow for the night and the best playlist. The pricing was incredibly good for the service that is received and we recieved compliments all night about the DJs. 10/10 would recommend them for your event!

    Highly recommend Philly Custom DJ

    We loved every part of working with Philly Custom DJ. Adam did an awesome job helping plan every detail of the event and made a good wedding timeline. Alex did a fantastic job combining all our favorite songs together and making the dancing an experience we’ll never forget!

    Amazing experience working with this DJ!

    Working with Adam and his team was such a pleasure! He is very friendly, very organized and clearly a wedding professional with many great suggestions. If you have a clear music vision, he will help you enact this, and if you are more like me, where you don’t know exactly what you want, he has many suggestions and playlists to help you out. Adam was responsive and really made sure we had all the required songs for different parts of a wedding. Beyond just the music, he was very effective at coordinating all the toasts and the officiant, so that things flowed smoothly throughout the evening.

    I cannot recommend him enough! I had many people of all age groups complement the music and the DJ after the wedding, which was lovely to hear.

    Unforgettable

    Adam and his team were incredible in planning and executing our son's wedding. Adam helped us think through every detail, and Alex, part of his team, set the perfect tone for the day, keeping the energy high and guests dancing all night. They blended our favorite songs with crowd-pleasers, reading the room perfectly, especially during our family's traditional Hanbok moment. Philly Custom DJ was professional, organized, and attentive to our requests. They made our son’s wedding unforgettable, and we're so grateful for the memories they helped create. Highly recommended!

    Book these guys

    Absolutely amazed by these guys. Adam and his team went above and beyond for our wedding. Last minute, I added a video segment to play for my wife from her family and they added it with 0 hassle or problems. Their music is mixed perfectly and you have complete control over what they play. Everything we asked for, they did and more. I can’t say enough about how amazing these guys are. BOOK PHILLY CUSTOM DJ

    Pleasure to work with

    Adam was a treat to work with! He is organized, professional and fun. We rented his Photo Booth for a 75th birthday celebration and it was the highlight of the party. Appreciate his time spent in advance of the party getting all the details right and the custom colors on the printed photos to match our theme.

    Flawless performance!

    I really can't recommend Adam and his organization enough. He is a consummate professional with an incredible eye for detail - he does not miss a beat - literally! We hired him for our wedding and at our request he was able to provide many different complicated sound systems in different places, completed sound checks, provided different types of microphones, video screens, photo booths - he really has it all!

    10/10!- Adam and his team are the best!

    So happy we used Adam and his team for our wedding. Philly custom DJ truly spends so much time getting to know you so they can customize your day exactly how you want it. The photo booth was also a HUGE hit. It was also so affordable. 10/10!

    Awesome Tunes and Great Vibes

    Adam from Philly Custom DJ was an amazing addition to our wedding! He met with us several times before the wedding to explain his process and the logistics of everything. He was even able to customize our entrance music with a Grateful Dead procession! He played awesome music all night that had everyone grooving, and was extremely flexible about extending his time! I recommend Philly Custom DJ 110%!

    Amazing dj

    Adam was an excellent DJ. He met with us multiple times before our wedding. He was attentive to our needs and ensured that everything went smoothly on the day of the wedding. He mixed our song selections expertly which resulted in guests on the dance floor rocking out the whole time. His photo booth and props were also a huge hit at the wedding. I highly recommend Philly Custom DJ.

    Adam was better than we could have hoped for. Great vibes and reads the room well.

    He didn’t just help us as a DJ, he was the first vendor we hired for our wedding and he gave us tons of helpful advice along the way. Perfect personality for a wedding DJ, always kept it positive and read the room. We had someone performing a bit of live music and everything went to plan. I know you’ll read this Adam, thank you! 10/10 HIRE THIS MAN

    Philly Custom DJ's reply:

    Your wedding was fun and unique! Not many people are serenaded for their first dance, and I'm glad we were able to make that happen! Watching people get on the dance floor for Lola by The Kinks, and hearing you guys singing The Gambler from the other room are just two of the many memories that will always stand out in my mind.
    And since I know you'll read this:
    Have a wonderful marriage!
    Love is everything

    Excellent!

    We are so happy we chose Philly Custom DJ to be apart of our wedding day. Adam was eager to help us every step of the way, while also allowing us to customize and choose the kind of music we wanted to hear. Meeting with him through zoom allowed us to get to know each other better, which we loved. He truly enjoys his job and it shows. Don’t hesitate, choose them for your next event!!

    Adam is the best!

    Adam was wonderful to work with from start to finish. He's truly passionate about what he does and worked with us to create the perfect playlists for our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception that reflected who we are as a couple but also kept the dance floor packed. The client portal was a great way for us to add our favorite songs and details about the day of. He was so helpful with creating our day-of schedule as well and made sure we had every detail nailed down. Wish we could get married again so Adam could create more playlists for us!

    Simply Amazing

    We had Alex as our DJ for a small, intimate micro-wedding at Peddler’s Village and everything was PERFECT!
    Through the entire planning process, I had a lot of questions and Alex was so patient with me, making sure to explain everything, and never made me feel like I was bothering him. He was always so quick to respond and incredibly friendly.
    We had special circumstances due to some health concerns that my husband has and Alex was amazing about accommodating all of our requests and they were incredibly fair when working within our budget constraints.
    During the wedding and ceremony itself, Alex kept the energy going and played a great mix of music incorporating everything that was important to us. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!!!

    Best dj ever!

    Look no further - Adam is THE MAN!!!! From the very beginning, we knew our wedding day was going to be a breeze with Adam. He was incredibly helpful with music suggestions and helped us with major details (like the timeline and planning our untraditional ceremony!) Our meetings with him over zoom were so laid back it was like hanging with an old friend. Late in the game, we added a photo booth onto our package which turned out to be one of the best parts of the wedding! Adam even let us customize the photo strip to match all of the wedding stationary!

    The music was on point the whole night and a week later, people are still talking about how sick the dance floor was. Beyond the music, Adam offered a hand in anything we may have needed help with. For a DIY wedding, we were extremely thankful to have such an incredible vendor. Don't miss out on a seriously good time with a great dude dropping the beats!

    The do it all man

    We thought we were hiring a DJ. What we got was so much more. Adam became not only our DJ but our web designer, planner, event coordinator, and even taught us how to do the self unifying marriage. His photo booth is super customizable and had the most props I’ve ever seen. Adam was extremely helpful every step of the way and everything he did he went the extra 10 miles. It felt like he was truly invested in our wedding and was the best hire we’ve ever made. Thanks Adam! We’ll definitely be using Philly Custom DJ for any big future events.

    Best Custom Wedding DJ in Philadelphia

    It's impossible to overstate how pleased we were with Adam at Philly Custom DJ. We initially reached out to Adam because we wanted a DJ who would play our custom playlist, but what he provided was much, much more. During the almost 2+ years it took to plan our wedding (COVID), Adam met with us regularly and provided valuable input and advice to help our wedding vision take shape. He's was our DJ, our MC, our timekeeper, our audio-visual expert, and much much more. He helped us create a music filled ceremony, a fully DJ'd cocktail hour, and an amazing dance party with a number of musical tricks and set-pieces. Beyond his unmatched expertise, he was also just so fun to work with. While many parts of wedding planning are extremely stressful, we always looked forward to our planning calls with Adam. If you are looking to create a memorable wedding experience, want help building the wedding playlist of your dreams, looking for someone to run AV, MC, get the party started, AND have a ton of fun in the process, look no farther than Adam at Philly Custom DJ.

    Philly Custom DJ's reply:

    Dear Liz & Dixon,
    Planning your wedding was a lot of fun. You had great out-of-the-box ideas like waving streamers during the ceremony, the recession parade, and the Once In A Lifetime entrance. After two years of planning the result was phenomenal! It was a great time, not just for your guests, but for us as well!
    PS: I love that picture!

    Such an awesome team!

    Can’t say enough about our experience from start to finish with the Philly Custom DJ team!

    We first met with Adam who right away was super friendly and energetic about making sure our DJ experience was how WE envisioned it. He was so personable it felt like we knew him for years. Numerous video calls were held in the early months to make sure we had all of the resources we needed to make playlists and plan our timeline. Scheduling meetings was always super easy through their calendar and Adam’s communication was great & really put us at ease. He was always super responsive if we emailed him questions and was flexible when we had to make changes to our package. The portal was also a HUGE help during the entire planning process. It allowed us to listen to and add songs to custom playlists, create/edit the wedding timeline, pay invoices, assign songs to certain events, etc. The portal really made everything so easy that I can’t imagine not having it while planning.

    The DJs for our wedding were Alex and Jack. Again, leading up to our wedding there was incredible communication about song selection, our timeline, the venue and everything in between. I mean this as a compliment - there were many times where we didn’t notice the DJ team! By that I mean their setup and take down process and moving across our venue was seamless. Our venue had 3 different locations on-site for the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. They were able to seamlessly set up and move between each location without any break in music. At the reception, Alex & Jack kept the music on theme with our vibe but also played to the crowd so that there was always plenty of people up & dancing. If we had a change in plan or wanted to add something, they were fine doing it on the fly. We were having such a good time that we asked to extend for an hour (with payment) and they were totally happy to stay. They were incredibly accommodating!

    Philly Custom DJ was one of the first DJs we looked at and we knew almost immediately they were the people we needed for our wedding. So glad we had them!

    Great experience

    Adam and his crew are awesome! We met on Zoom a handful of times leading up to our wedding and Adam made the process of selecting songs and creating playlists very clear. You can be as involved in the process as you want and Adam has good advice for every decision. On the day of, Adam and his crew helped ensure the wedding went smoothly and of course, fun and entertaining! Many thanks to Adam for helping make our wedding very special. PS - We recommend the photo booth as well!

    Bride & Groom

    YOU NEED ADAM & HIS CREW AT YOUR WEDDING!!! The music was exactly what we wanted from start to finish & the crowd loved his hype man. Adam was easy to work with from the start & very professional and organized. He uses a planning portal that we had access to for uploading music and other information. This was super helpful. Oh, and the photo booth is a MUST. Our guests loved it and the photos were a nice take away from the wedding. We can’t thank Adam enough for everything he did to make our wedding a blast.

    Partly Time

    Adam was extremely helpful from beginning to end in helping navigate the process.

    Capturing our eclectic music taste was really important to us and he took that on as a challenge.

    He did an amazing job working with the venue to figure out the logistics and really helped define the party.

    We got a ton of compliments on how fun and smoothly everything ran and he was a big part of that.

    We can’t recommend him highly enough.

    Adam was so professional and organized in the planning process. Not only did he deliver on our playlist, but he also acquired cold sparks so that we could have a magical first dance and a memorable reception for our guests. Highly highly recommend!!!

    Your playlist was a pleasure - but the cold sparks took us over the top! Thank you for leading us into the cold sparks era!

    Absolutely Incredible

    Absolutely 100000000% would hire again. Adam is a great communicator, he got right back to me every time I reached out. When the venue needed his COI - he sent it within minutes of my request. He would send some playlists and we would tweak them, and always responded in the hour. We lived farther away so our meeting were through zoom and via email, which worked out just fine.

    He was so detailed, which helped by guide the timing of my entire wedding. He was even thinking of things I wasn’t. I haven’t been to many weddings, so he recommended songs, music transitions, even customized music for the toasts. It helped me so much, that I felt very confident going into my wedding day.

    The music he curated with us was perfect, and he was able to get people to dance and out to the dance floor during those moments it got a bit light. He listened to my guests and heard them talking about Madonna, so he played one of her songs. Adam’s really attentive to the guests and requests as well.

    He’s got a great personality and very easy to work with. He even took some photos and sent them to us. We had our wedding playlist the next day so we could listen and relive it again. He is a great choice, and I highly recommend him and will definitely hire again for any future events.

    Above and beyond

    Above and Beyond. The only way to describe Adam and his team. Adam absolutely smashed it at our wedding a little over a month ago where we had 4 different locations that required audio at sometimes overlapping times. He created a custom playlist for us that ended up being spot on for our audience. We got rave reviews from our guests for the music and the amazing Photo Booth. I would recommend him for anyone looking to put on a memorable party!!

    The best wedding DJ!! Thank you, Adam!

    I can’t imagine a better wedding DJ than Adam!! I don’t even know where to begin with thanking him and recommending him to every engaged person I know. He made our wedding so incredibly magical and memorable. Other wedding DJs we considered only offered one meeting where we’d discuss a general overview of music, but with Adam we had multiple conversations and with his planning portal we had the opportunity to truly personalize the soundtrack to our wedding day. I am still daydreaming about so many specific moments of our day linked to specific songs that played, and those moments only happened because of the incredible work and planning he did with us. We also rented his photobooth which was a huge hit with our guests! Adam is exceptional in every way. He is also a wonderful person. When you work with great vendors that are also really great people that makes everything that much better and easier. He made this process so enjoyable and fun for us. We cannot recommend him enough! Please do yourself a big favor and book him!!

    Must have wedding playlist!

    You know your DJ was a success when your guests keep asking for the playlist! And luckily Adam sent us a link to it on Spotify the next morning. We wanted a 90s school dance vibe with the bridesmaids walking down the aisle to Spice Girls and groomsmen to Back Street Boys and Adam happily indulged us. The online system for us to organize our special songs as well as preference was very simple to use and made preparation and organizing super easy. The day of he worked with our speakers before the ceremony to make sure the audio would be perfect, and was even ready to hype up the crowd although ours came ready to rage. Overall, we’re very happy with our choice!

    A Great DJ for a Beautiful Day

    We loved working with Adam! Philly Custom DJ was not just great at providing the music for our special day, but Adam also helped us through the process of planning out our reception. Our calls with him were fun and informative and really got us thinking about how we wanted our reception to go and what music we wanted to set the scene for our big day.

    He perfectly synthesized our musical taste for an amazing cocktail hour playlist we'll be listening to for years to come. And when it came time for the reception, he made sure everyone was up and dancing. I had several people comment on the great mix of music he played. Plus who else but Philly Custom DJ would offer an instrumental Miyazaki playlist for the prelude?

    On a more personal note, having to push our wedding back a whole year due to COVID was a stressful decision, but Adam was always a joy to work with and was so flexible throughout the whole process. We knew we could count on him, even during complicated circumstances. Our calls with him during the wedding planning process were always joyful, which is so needed during the stressful planning process. I'd recommend Philly Custom DJ to any couple looking for a world-class DJ!

    Best wedding dj in the area

    Adam and his team were absolute professionals. So talented, thoughtful, and thinking of everything we needed them to. Look no further for the best wedding DJ in the area. Adam was so organized and flexible as we planned for multiple wedding dates during a pandemic. He utilized zoom meetings for constant communication. If you’re like us and are particular about your wedding music, Adam will make sure you have every song you want and at the right point in the night. He even custom mixed a song for my father daughter dance that we’ll have forever. Everything was custom from no requests at the reception to multiple Spotify playlists for throughout each part of the wedding.

    Without Hester reminding us to get our photobooth pics, we wouldn’t have used it all night! Jack did an amazing job organizing the bridal party, getting mics to everyone, and working hard to make sure everything ran smoothly.

    Adam- We are so continually impressed by you. Over the past couple of years your organization, google spreadsheets, playlists, communication, and just overall empathy for our situation is more than we could have ever asked for in a wedding DJ. You went above and beyond for us and literally planned the entire reception timeline. It would not be NEARLY as legendary without you and your team. THANK YOU.

    AMAZING!! Alex & Adam were SO great to work with!

    Adam was beyond amazing to work with. Our wedding music was 100% customized and absolutely perfect for our event. I think my husband now has a friend for life :)

    Alex was so helpful in keeping our timeline and reminding us of what was coming up. Thanks for being so flexible with our changes AND for playing all of our favorite music. 100% recommend!

    It was our pleasure, Shannon! Your wedding playlist is the stuff of legends - a jam band dream come true.
    As for Kyle, friend for life is an understatement!

    Adam is amazing, he was so accommodating to our wants and needs to make our dream wedding a success. He is thorough, responsive, and an all around great guy. We can’t recommend him enough!

    Philly Custom DJ's reply:

    Thank you, Michelle. It was great having an opportunity to play such excellent music at your wedding. I appreciate that Tom was able to help me reignite my love for Ahmad Jamal. Your wedding had many highlights, but the Mule Train will always stand out for me!

    Adam is the BEST

    Adam is just the best. We seriously cannot express how amazing he was at helping us to finalize the planning for our wedding in the middle of this pandemic. When we said we wanted to include a virtual portion of our wedding including a Zoom chat live with some of our virtual guests he didn't even bat an eye.
    In many ways, Adam was even more organized than our wedding planner! He handed us a spreadsheet that included ALL of the information we could want and more for our ceremony music, cocktail hour and reception playlists, and also had suggestions for all of the above. Without this we would have been lost when trying to plan our ceremony and reception.
    We got many comments from our guests about how much they loved the music selection, and GET THE PHOTO BOOTH!
    Seriously, the photo booth was amazing - it was given to us as a surprise and it knocked our socks off. We now have an amazing keepsake from our wedding with the photos of all of our guests.
    We love Adam and can't wait to hire him for our next big party!
    We can't recommend him enough!

    You need this DJ in your life!!!

    Let me tell everyone something right now - you NEED Adam to be your wedding DJ. If you’re having your wedding in PA, he’s a MUST. I first spoke with Adam in October 2019. We had a zoom meeting with my husband to be soon after, and it was very clear that we made the right choice. He exudes so much enthusiasm about you as an individual, the couple getting married, and the wedding itself that you can’t help but be hyped for your wedding as he’s helping you compile your list of music for the wedding. He does not push any agenda, he’s very supportive of the couple doing their own thing and doing whatever makes them happy. If you don’t want to do a father daughter dance? He’s with it. If you want to have a special dance with you and your two best friends on the floor before you do anything else? He’s with it. He’s very knowledgeable of “traditional” wedding elements if you choose to have them as part of your day, but does not push the issue if you don’t and is open to any and everything else you have in mind. During covid we had a number of zoom meetings with him, and he remained supportive and positive which really helped us keep our heads in the game. On the day of the wedding when we finally met him in person, it was like seeing family. He’s just such a great person to work with. Not to mention he’s an AWESOME dj! He arranged everything EXACTLY how we asked. Everything was executed perfectly and I got so many compliments from everyone about the music and how cool he was! I highly recommend Adam of Philly Custom DJ - you will not regret choosing him!

    Best DJ for your wedding, period.

    The pressure is on. This is the most important review of my life. Why? Simple, because when you hire Adam and work with Philly Custom DJ for your wedding, he makes your wedding day the most important of his life.

    Not unlike a lot of you, my now wife Courtney and I knew we wanted a DJ for our wedding annnnd we didn't have much of a clue beyond that. We read review after review trying to get a sense of who would "click" with our vibe. Something about Adam's reviews stuck with us. People LOVED Adam. Well, I'll save you time...dont read any more reviews, just hire Adam!

    Adam takes the time to get to know you personally. Via phone calls or Zooms he asks questions about everything from musical likes and dislikes, to ceremony/cocktail hour/reception vibe, to sound cues so everything goes off without a hitch. He has good advice when needed but also is happy to go forward with whatever vision you see for your day. All of your information and preferences are kept on a google doc sheet, which you can update as well at your convenience, so nothing is ever forgotten or overlooked. Like I said, he really really cares. Adding in COVID could throw anyone off their game, but Adam was ready, willing and able to meet the challenge. He purchased extra wireless mics so every individual speaker during our day could have their own mic, with their own personal boom cover and personal equipment-safe sanitizer to keep everyone as safe as possible.

    The day of our wedding is where Adam really shined. He set up his sound system for our rain contingency ceremony (we had a lot of bad luck leading up to this wedding) and when the sun shined an hour before the start, Adam moved like lightning to get his equipment outside/getting sound check completed/welcoming guests and we never skipped a beat. He mixed an incredible set for our cocktail hour that we still listen to every time we are boozin around our house. As for the reception, I think Adam had as much fun as we did dancing to the music and taking requests from our masked up guests who weren't going to let this pandemic stop them from having a safe, socially responsible blast on the dance floor. What more do you need to hear? Hiring Philly Custom DJ was the best decision we could have ever made. You don't need to read any more reviews, just schedule a phone call with Adam and see for yourself. He will NEVER let you down. Thanks for everything Adam!!

    Dear Ben & Courtney,

    Like the sun breaking through the clouds on your wedding day, your wedding was a bright light in my life after months of darkness because of the pandemic. It warmed my heart to see your guests dancing all night. Thank you for letting me be a part of your special day.

    Your cocktail hour mix is still in heavy rotation on my stereo.

    Wishing you the best in your marriage. Love is everything.

    Adam

    Where to begin?

    I guess I'll start by saying Adam (note the first name basis with the CEO) and his team instantly gave us the impression this was the only wedding they were planning that year. They were constantly in contact months before the wedding with updates and home-made gifs to make us feel special.

    Then COVID hit, and we feared all was lost. But that's when this company's true colors shone through, as Adam didn't skip a beat and kept on planning. Without hesitation, he tailored our wedding to stay safe without losing any of the party, which is something we never could have done on our own. He coordinated closely and professionally with all of our vendors, even helping us with the timing of the ceremony and events. Above all, we had several older relatives who were unsafe to travel during the pandemic and Adam independently created a Youtube stream specific to our wedding complete with a crystal clear audio and video setup.

    I hope it comes through that not only do we sound biased because we had a personal connection with this team but they were truly consummate professionals from beginning to end, seamlessly holding our wedding (and marriage) together during a pandemic.

    Philly Custom DJ's reply:

    Hi William,
    Glad to be on a first-name basis with you as well! Thank you for letting me swoop in and play my part. Your playlist choices were a pleasure to work with! Such a great range of music!
    I don’t think I can take credit for holding your marriage together. You and Kate are wonderful individuals - the love between you is beautiful to see. The two of you have what it takes to go the distance!
    All the best,
    Adam

    More than just a DJ

    When planning a wedding there are so many details that are important. Music being one of the most. I can’t say enough about Adam and his team. He paid attention to who we were as a couple from the 1st meeting to our last pre-wedding meeting (yes, he does meetings with you!) He was extremely passionate about making sure everything would be perfect for our wedding day. Even asking us to approve what he should wear. There were check-in’s, playlist scrubbing, even attention to artists that we may not want played for ethical reasons. We hadn’t considered a photo booth, but it wound up being the hit of the wedding! Everyone commented to us on how much fun they had, and how much they enjoyed Adam and his assistant. I felt like Adam was a family member by the end of this process. We would recommend him a million times over. He truly was one of the top vendors for our wedding.

    Would recommend every time

    I'm patting myself on the back for having chosen Philly Custom DJ/Adam to be our DJ and officiant. He has such a way about him as to make everything more calm and organized. If you have any questions as maybe this is your first time doing this (wedding) he is a wonderful sounding board, if this isn't your first time you will appreciate his professionalism and friendly energy even more. I never felt like an imposition with my silly questions or last minute changes. Adam wrote a beautiful ceremony for us as well that was exactly what we wanted to be said. He is fantastic!

    Adam is awesome!

    Adam was our first vendor booked, and working with him was a serious pleasure from start to finish. He was friendly from the beginning and by the end felt like a friend instead of a vendor.

    First, my husband and I are seriously passionate about music and the music at our wedding was a HUGE deal to us. We are a little alternative in our music, where we might not like the regular "wedding classic" music. Adam was PERFECT for us because he worked with us through every detail of the music. He offered us expert advice on his point of view from going to many weddings, and ultimately made us feel like we could be ourselves and we felt very accepted despite our quirkiness. We could not have asked for someone better for us to DJ our wedding. We were able to work with Adam to curate a playlist that we would love and ceremony and cocktail hour playlists we would love. We were complimented over and over again about our music. He was able to weave in our more punk music with classic dance songs and songs for the older crowd perfectly. Everything went so well and we had such a good time, and so did our guests! I was so overjoyed watching our guests have fun and dance to the music, and that is all thanks to Adam! Thank you for making our reception so fun, and thank you for letting us be ourselves!

    This is your DJ. Amazing!

    If you are even remotely questioning what DJ service to use for your wedding, go with PhillyCustomDJ! Adam and his whole team were incredible! We couldn’t believe the level of organization and professionalism. Adam was basically our mini wedding planner, asking all the right questions to make sure the whole evening went smoothly. We appreciated the personal interaction with Skype calls to work through the songs and logistics for the evening. He even built us a personalized spanish guitar playlist to go with our theme, and it was awesome! Our DJ Jacob H. and Emcee Jack Z. executed a perfect event and killed it on the dance floor. They also were great at monitoring the wedding, reading the crowd, and making adjustments during the evening as needed. We had so much fun with them. Thank you guys!

    Amazing! We love dj adam!

    We cannot say enough good things about Adam and Philly Custom DJ. He is amazing and goes so far above and beyond for his couples. Having a custom playlist was something we knew we wanted from day one, with Adam, we got that and so much more! Originally, we were going to skip a photo booth, but his costs were so reasonable that we got one as well - it was the HIGHLIGHT of the night and we're so happy we went with it.

    Beyond that, Adam was our go-to man during the process. We had several chats with him where he helped us pick music, create the processional, recessional, and order of events, he helped us write and finalize our ceremony, and he designed custom photo booth strips for us. During the event - he was a great MC, was able to keep the party going, and took lots of videos and photos that he later shared with us. Another fun bonus is that we got digital copies of all of the photo booth pictures as well!

    You cannot go wrong using Adam and Philly custom DJ.

    Organized, professional and fun

    Adam was fantastic from start to finish. At the first meeting he throws a lot at you but its all followed up with an organized spreadsheet and meeting schedule. He is incredibly flexible with timing and everything can be handled via video conferences. Adam brought up things we didn't know we needed to plan and he even helped us schedule our ceremony/reception for music cues. Most importantly he is a great DJ. He can find any song you throw at him and will play anything you want. We had a fairly extensive "must play" list which he accommodated. The rest of the music that he picked completely fit in with our list and general theme of the night. Really top notch guy that I couldn't recommend more. If your having a tropical themed wedding, demand that he wear the greatest shirt of all time!

    Absolutely the best!

    My husband found DJ Adam in a desperate google search, for our wedding DJ and I am so glad he found him!! So if you are looking for an amazing DJ, look no further!!!! DJ Adam from start to finish did an incredible job!! He took time to plan with us several times prior to our wedding in the most convenient form - FaceTime. He was so knowledgeable and helpful in organizing every aspect of the wedding (schedule, playlists, people involved, etc.). He made it so easy to navigate through the hectic wedding planning process. All of my guests RAVED about the music and how fun Adam made our wedding night!! Music is really important to me and my husband, Adam played our favorite tunes and got everyone on the dance floor! As usual, our wedding had a couple unexpected events occur and Adam handled it with grace and assured me everything would be fine. He truly was a life savor for me on this stressful day! I cannot day enough good things about him!

    Philly Custom DJ was the perfect choice!

    Adam was the perfect choice for my daughter's May 2019 wedding. He had numerous conference calls to map out their plan and he certainly delivered. Everyone was on their feet dancing and having a great time. He even knew where to add music after the speeches. He also had a photo booth which added to the fun. I would HIGHLY recommend Adam and Philly Custom DJs for a perfect wedding!!

    Philly Custom DJ's reply:

    Worth every penny!

    Adam and his team are the absolute best. The DJ choice was really important to me because they essentially would be the MC for the night and I wanted good vibes and Adam was it!! He was fun, funny, efficient, professional, knowledgeable, and helpful. After each meeting I had with him, I felt completely at ease about the big day. Planning a wedding is so stressful and Adam made it so much easier by contacting my bridal party and other vendors himself! He helped me create the schedule for the day of and fine tune other little details that I’m pretty sure weren’t even his job! Also! The photo booth! I had other ladies ask me who I booked for the photo booth because it was so amazing. I truly cannot day enough how awesome Adam and Philly Custom DJ was. I would recommend them 10 times over to any bride! And I will!

    Adam is amazing!

    My wife and I came across Adam months ago looking for a dj for our wedding, and we couldn’t be any happier. Adam was attentive, caring and heavily involved in many aspects of our wedding. He went above and beyond to making sure everything went perfectly. He created the perfect playlist for us and it was exactly how we envisioned it. Even on the day of our wedding he stepped in several times when things started to fall off track and in the end it was an amazing wedding. I am so happy we found him and would recommend him to anyone looking for a dj for an event. We are proud to have had him at our wedding and even prouder to call him a friend. Thanks again Adam!!

    Thanks, Emil. It was such a pleasure to be a part of your wedding. I wanted it to be perfect for you and Skyler - you deserve the wedding of your dreams. So happy with the way it worked out - and your wedding playlist is the gift that keeps giving! It's going to be in heavy rotation for a while!

    The best wedding DJ ever!

    Wedding planning can be overwhelming and stressful. The last thing you have on your side during the process is time. Luckily we found Philly Custom DJ.

    The first meeting we had with Adam took all of the weight off of our shoulders. He was very personable, kind, funny and honestly felt like someone we had known for a very long time. Every meeting we had with Adam was exciting. We looked forward to seeing how he was tailoring our playlists and going over all of the little details and honestly we looked forward to just hanging out with him. He also made sure that we were comfortable and stress free. At the end of every meeting he assured us that everything was going to be amazing and he expressed how exited he was to be a part of it. His kindness, humor and professionalism guided us not only through the DJ portion of our planning but through our entire wedding process.

    We knew that on the day of the wedding that Adam and his crew were going to do an awesome job but we didn’t know that they were going to be part of the family that night. It was really special and we’re going to miss our meetings with Adam.

    If you want a wedding DJ that will give you a copy and pasted experience that you see at almost every wedding then go with any DJ. If you want a truly custom wedding DJ experience that will amaze your guests and make sure the dance floor is always packed, stop your search now and call Philly Custom DJ.

    Also we can’t forget about the photo booth. It was an absolute blast! We have so many incredible pictures and our guests loved it so much that there was a line for pictures the entire night. It’s a must have at any wedding!

    Thank you Adam for helping us make the night perfect. You went above and beyond and handled the curveballs thrown at you perfectly. If we ever need a DJ again you will be getting a phone call.

    Michael & Megan Mgrdichian

    Philly Custom DJ's reply:

    Dear Megan & Michael,
    Thank you for making me feel like part of your family! I’m so glad we were able to feature the unique musical talents of your family during the wedding. I have to admit, I got very emotional when your dad started playing the oud during the procession. The live music set during the reception was an experience your friends and family will always remember and cherish. It was such a great time!
    Live long and prosper,
    Adam

    Excellent Music Experience

    I hired Adam for my daughter's wedding reception and he did an excellent job in every aspect of the event for us.
    His music choices were spot on and he spent time ahead of the event to make sure he knew what we were looking for. He achieved this very well!
    We would definitely recommend Adam again for any event that we are having.
    Great job!!

    Philly Custom DJ's reply:

    Thanks, Bob! I’m GRATEFUL for having the opportunity to play the deepest tracks I’ve ever played at wedding. You, your family, and your new family are a delightful group. And you all have great taste in music.

    Best decision we ever made!!!

    Adam was absolutely awesome!!! He went above and beyond to make sure our wedding was exactly what we were hoping for. He listened to every single detail that we wanted and helped us make our vision a reality! He meets with you over video chat several times before the wedding to go over details which is actually very helpful and much easier to share ideas and go over everything you are looking for face to face. We played some songs we liked and were able to view several photo strip designs to give him an idea of what we were looking for. He took our ideas and mixed them with his own. Everything - from the cocktail hour playlist, the photo booth and photo strip designs, and our personalized last hour playlist - turned out better than I could have ever imagined. He took away a lot of stress in our planning and was extremely organized with the spreadsheet he uses to go over all the details we never would have even thought of without him! He also uses Spotify which made our lives so much easier - over the course of a few weeks we added songs we wanted played at our wedding to a playlist and Adam incorporated them perfectly and made everything flow together. We are both into EDM music and had a lot of glow sticks and dance music and Adam was always finding ways to help us out... he got us AWESOME dance floor lighting and helped us hand out glow sticks when the dance floor was packed. We had told Adam that we wanted the last hour of our wedding playlist to be made completely by us with no requests and he gave us exactly what we wanted. The whole night was absolutely perfect and everything we wanted and Adam played a HUGE part in making sure of that. We couldn’t be happier that we chose him as our wedding DJ!!

    Philly Custom DJ's reply:

    Thank you for including me in your wedding! To be honest, it was a dream wedding for me too. I always wanted to do an all out EDM dance party at a wedding, and your friends totally brought the energy. Five stars to you, your friends and your family!

    Best DJ Ever!

    Adam and his team were incredible from day one. Beyond incredible. Adam was communicative, enthusiastic, thoughtful, organized, and fun! He thought of things we didn't think of before we needed to think of them -- not even just about our playlists, but about wedding planning in general, from how the ceremony would work to setting up our timeline. I don't think the night would have flowed as smoothly without Adam's help, especially because our wedding was heavily DIY. Everyone who attended complimented the playlists over and over, well after the day, noting how excellent every song was and that they could tell we were involved in choosing what played. And the props for the photobooth were the best we've ever seen at any event! People kept going back to take photos with new props. We are so grateful to have found Adam. He captured exactly the mood we wanted and helped us think through all of our decisions. After the wedding, he sent us amazing photos, videos of people dancing, and the playlists as they were played at the wedding, which was so thoughtful and so nice to have. If you're looking for a DJ who knows music, will learn what you like, and will help you balance that with what will get people dancing, then Adam is the best out there. 11/10 would absolutely hire again.

    Philly Custom DJ's reply:

    Thank you, Annalise! We had such a great time at your wedding! Your playlist was fun and your guests and friends were so energetic! We especially liked rocking out with the crew from across the pond!
    And those booth photos are too much!

    Adam is more than a DJ - he is a wedding guru!

    If you’re looking to feel secure, calm, yet still in control of your wedding day, look no further!

    Adam at Philly Custom DJ became our wedding guru. He was more than just our DJ and photobooth provider – he was our mentor.

    We live in FL but planned our PA wedding from afar. Adam was on top of setting up multiple video chats throughout our wedding planning process. He was there every step of the way, helping us to find our venue and other vendors, creating a wedding timeline, and of course, finalizing our music choices. He advised us about various wedding norms and explained the traditions and alternatives that we could incorporate. He complemented our unique senses of humor and encouraged us to stay true to ourselves. He made decision-making easier and exciting!

    He went above and beyond our expectations of a DJ, especially when we were frantically trying to complete the planning process in the last month before the wedding. This is rare in the wedding industry.

    Adam is organized, knowledgable, and an excellent communicator. Wedding planning can cause quite a bit of anxiety, but with him on our team of vendors, we were able to feel taken care of yet still in control of our wedding day. We trusted him to choose music based on our unique tastes, and he truly delivered!

    We were so pleased with how the music and photobooth worked out. Thank you so much, Adam!

    Philly Custom DJ's reply:

    Thank you for the kind words, Talia. You and Tony were a pleasure to work with. I loved all the personal touches, like the sand pouring in the ceremony and the slow-motion entry to Chariots of Fire. Glad to have played a part in such a fun and unique wedding!

    Thank you, Philly Custom DJ! I hired Adam for the photo booth, lighting, and photo montage screen for my daughter’s bat mitzvah. Adam responded quickly to all of my planning questions and offered so many creative ideas. Everyone had a blast with the photo booth! Even my 13-year-old daughter thought he was great and that says a lot! Adam was so easy to work with, incredibly professional, delivered a great product, and I highly recommend him.

    Adam was fantastic and he made our wedding absolutely perfect. He was a breeze to work with. From the start, he was extremely responsive. We had a lot of questions, and a lot of last minute changes, and he was great with it all. He took a ton of time over the phone to understand exactly what we wanted our day to look like. He did a great job balancing all our requests with his own recommendations. Day-of, he showed up with all his equipment and set up almost without anyone noticing. He was so professional and friendly--a great guy to work with and have at the wedding.

    Philly Custom DJ's reply:

    Thank you, Dani! Your wedding was beautiful!
    I'm so glad we were able to do the ceremony outside even though it rained all morning. I was especially happy to see your friends and family on the dance floor. The smiles on your and Dan's parents' faces were priceless.
    Here's to the happy years to come!
    Adam

    Adam did an amazing job with our wedding and my husband and I couldn't have been happier! Right away, Adam was so dedicated and organized - I knew we made the right choice hiring Philly Custom DJ. He worked wonderfully with my wedding planner and made the whole process so simple. Adam made sure that we had the exact music that we wanted and nothing else! Couldn't recommend him more... our whole wedding party was on the dance floor the whole night!

    Philly Custom DJ's reply:

    Thank you, Rachel! Your wedding was really special. I loved the way you and Ben were able to incorporate elements from your own traditions to create something beautiful. So happy that I could be a part of it. Wishing you continued joy and happiness!

    I would highly recommend Philly Custom DJ to any couple. Adam was an absolute pleasure to work with. He organized all of our information into a Google spreadsheet so that it was easy to go over suggested music, add more, and ask questions. We also had three phone meetings with him to make sure that we had all the details ready to go and were progressing through the process. Out of everyone we worked with during the planning process, Adam was by far the most responsive and easiest to communicate with. He helped us put together music lists that we and our guests loved, getting to know us and adding in great personal touches. Once the dancing started at our reception, it continued until the very end of the night, with our guests chanting for more! I couldn't be happier with this DJ.

    Philly Custom DJ's reply:

    Thanks, Jess! It was our pleasure. Your friends and family have such great energy!

    Adam and DJ Alex made our event an excellent time that everyone will remember!

I highly recommend you call this professional DJ team, they did an awesome job!

    We worked with Adam for our wedding in March and he did a wonderful job. His passion and enthusiasm for DJing weddings is truly contagious! My husband and I kept joking that Adam was not only our DJ, but our wedding coordinator too, because he spent so much time with us working out the specific timeline and details of our event. The music selection and overall energy level of our reception was very important to us, so we appreciated that Adam allowed us to play a significant role in curating the music selection via a shared Spotify playlist and a detailed excel spread sheet. In addition to DJing our reception, he provided the sound equipment for our ceremony, which went off w/out a hitch! A friend of mine recently told us how much better our reception was than another she had just recently attended, which she attributed primarily to our DJ and music selection. You can't ask for better feedback than that!

    Adam at Philly Custom DJ truly went above and beyond to make our wedding day personalized to us. I had a very specific idea of how I envisioned the soundtrack of the day going and I went looking for a DJ that would take all my wants and ideas into mind when creating the playlists for our wedding day. I did NOT want a DJ that would tell us, "yes yes yes, I see your vision", and then play a bunch of terrible songs that we hated at the reception. Adam was definitely not one of "those" DJs. Adam not only understood what we were looking for, he encouraged us, worked through our requests with us and shared so many of his favorite playlists he thought we would enjoy and get inspiration from. Bonus: he uses Spotify making sharing playlists so easy! He truly took the time to ensure everything was perfect for us. We had more meetings with Adam than we did with any other vendor, and that just shows how much he wanted to make sure our vision was fulfilled. I had a very specific idea for music before the ceremony, during the ceremony and for cocktail hour. Adam did a great job taking all my songs and putting them in the perfect order with the smoothest transitions. I listen to the cocktail hour playlist he shared with us all the time because the flow of the songs is truly beautiful! For the reception, we weren't as picky, but Adam took all our requests for the songs we definitely wanted, and all the songs we definitely didn't want and made the reception truly one for the books. He even honored our crazy request for Die Antwoord, I Fink U Freeky (a real crowd pleaser for my husband's group of friends)! Over all the day tuned out perfect and Adam's work creating the soundtrack for the day played a large part in how perfect it truly was. Thank you again Adam!

    Philly Custom DJ's reply:

    It was my pleasure, Alison! I picked up a lot of great music from you. Your vocal covers playlist is still in heavy rotation in my Spotify player! The crowd reaction to Die Antwood was unforgettable. Your wedding was unique, fun and had an awesome soundtrack. Thanks for including me in your special day!

    Our wedding was less than a month ago. Now that we are back from our honeymoon and have spoken to almost everyone who was present, it's clear that we made the right choice hiring Adam as our wedding DJ. The dance floor was packed all night long, which is pretty much the most important criteria. In the months before the wedding, Adam was easy to work with for planning. He definitely put in the time to listen to our vision and make it happen. He added personal touches. He made the music selection easy and the results were clear. Young and old, slow and fast songs, everyone was having a great time. You could tell that Adam was into it and feeding off the crowd to keep the party going. Adam and his assistant did a great job preparing and making sure that the transition between ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception was flawless. The photobooth was a hit, and it did not keep people away from the dance floor as some might be concerned about. Overall, we are so happy that we chose Philly Custom DJ.

    Philly Custom DJ's reply:

    Thanks, Roey! It was great to be a part of your wedding. I'll never forget that group of Julie's work friends who were rocking out by my station! They were great! But the icing on the cake were the sweet emails that you and Julie sent the next morning as you were waiting for the plane to take off for your honeymoon. They made me feel all warm and fuzzy. Wishing you a lifetime of great times together!
    Love,
    Adam

    Aside from finding a venue, scoring the perfect DJ for our wedding reception was at the top of our list in the planning process. We wanted someone personable and authentic; someone who really cared about what we wanted music-wise, and didn't gravitate towards "Top 50" playlists.

    Adam from Philly Custom DJ is that guy. Through the planning process, he was quick to respond to my (many) emails, stayed totally organized, and we had several video chats to touch base on how things were going. My husband and I appreciated the openness Adam had towards our music choices, yet he offered helpful suggestions to keep us on track with our playlist.

    The day of, Adam and his assistant Sam did a straight-up excellent job. Adam kept the wedding party laughing before our announcements to the dance floor and was responsive to any questions I had (like should we have a code gesture in case my father-daughter dance gets painfully long since both my dad and I can't dance??).

    During dinner, they played an awesome selection of "deep tracks"—some of our favorite songs you can't really dance to, but are nice to hear. But as soon as dinner was over, people were ready for the dance floor and they were on it for hours! Seeing how happy everyone was and how much fun they were having was the highlight of my night, and Philly Custom DJ made it happen (thanks Adam and Sam!).

    I could go on and on about how happy we are with our experience with PCDJ, but you get the point. If you're considering them, I say go for it. You'll be so happy you did.

    Philly Custom DJ's reply:

    Thank you so much, Kelly! We had such a great time at your wedding. It was great having the opportunity to help make your special day a success.
    All the best,
    Adam and Sam

    Adam went above and beyond. From the moment we hired him, to the week of the event, to the event itself, my wife and I could not have been more impressed with both his customer service and DJing skills. The guests at our party have been asking ever since how we found him and telling us how awesome he made the night!

    We hired Philly Custom DJ for my 40th birthday party and he did not disappoint. From start to finish, Adam was absolutely fabulous and gave me every faith that the party would be exactly how I envisioned it. And it was. He knew the perfect way to build up the energy from start to finish, and by the end of the night, no one wanted to get off the dance floor. When he got requests from guests, he either made an executive decision based on what he knew I wanted for my party, or he asked me if that request was ok. He was patient and totally cool and collected the entire evening. I will definitely use him again and recommend him to anyone.

    Sam provided us with excellent service. In the planning process, he helped us think through all the aspects of the wedding from the ceremony to the last dance. Music is very important to my husband and I, and Sam was able to mix our musical style with lots of fun dance music.

    If you’re looking for a DJ that listens to you and has great musical range, look no further! Everyone still talks about how great the music was.

    Thank you, Sam!

    Philly Custom DJ did an amazing job with our wedding! Adam was referred to us by a photographer friend who had been to a wedding he had DJ'd. We are so happy to have found him! From day one he was incredibly organized and really created a great experience for our wedding! And of course, the music was amazing!!!!!! He really made our day that much better by having spent time preparing over a few meetings and phone calls. And we are so happy that we also used him to create our photo booth. Everyone loved it. Thank you Adam and team for helping make our day as special and FUN as it was.

    Adam from Philly Custom DJ was the DJ for my 50th birthday party in Livingston, NJ. I wanted to hear good music all night, and Adam delivered! The volume levels were appropriate, so my guests didn’t have to shout over each other during dinner.

    Adam has a massive library of music and will find whatever you want to hear that he doesn't have. He is sensitive to concerns, responsive, and puts your mind at ease during planning. Also really fun to work with!

    The Philly Custom DJ team was awesome! They were professional and very responsive throughout the whole planning process. On the day of the wedding they were there on time and everything happened on schedule. Adam and Samwise were able to engage our wedding guests and keep the dance floor was packed all night. We’re still getting compliments about the music!

    We’re also glad we went with the photobooth. It was a big hit, and looking at the pictures always makes us smile!

    I would highly recommend! We love you guys!!!

    Philly Custom DJ's reply:

    Thanks for including us in your wedding. It was a pleasure working with you and Meredith on making your wedding a success. Your photo booth pictures are a riot!
    Stay in touch,
    Adam
    PS: We've replaced the pirate hook since then.

    Adam was awesome to work with. He gave us plenty of guidance and suggestions on how to build a personalized playlist and was extremely flexible with any last minute changes we had. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ.

    Adam was an absolutely amazing DJ! He went well beyond what was required of him for our wedding event in Philadelphia. We had Facetime calls months before the wedding and gradually built up to weekly calls as the wedding approached. I never thought a DJ would be so involved in all aspects of the wedding but Adam was and we are so thankful for that. Regarding music, Adam read the demographics of those dancing most and catered the music to them. Cost wise, I actually would have paid Adam much more for his services given that he helped us with many other aspects of the wedding. Regardless, he is very affordable. I would highly recommend Adam for any event. Really good guy too.

    I can pretty much say Adam made our wedding the fun and crazy wedding it was. We got his number from a friend of a friend without really knowing him but he was so helpful and reassuring from the beginning we started actually seeing him as a friend. He gave us the feeling we were his only couple (although we knew he had other events going on at the same time...). He scheduled video calls (since we don't live in the same city) through which he guided us through everything that had to be planned, all via Google Sheets (very convenient). At the wedding Adam quickly learned our guests' preferences (combined with our's of course) and played the right song at the right time, making our mixture of guests all dance and continue to talk about the D.J. the next day.

    Adam was absolutely wonderful to work with. He set up a meeting immediately to discuss all the specifics of our celebration and included a very detailed spreadsheet to review with us on our initial call. It really helped us finalize many aspects of our evening and kept everyone on the same page with our schedule. He was extremely flexible, easy going and paid great attention to the detail required for our big day. We were so happy to work with someone who wanted to be sure our day was as perfect as we hoped for. He was very responsive to all the questions we had and organized a follow-up meeting with us leading up to our celebration to go over any last minute questions. His music was a big hit the entire night and everyone thought he was really great. He followed all our requests and made sure the flow of the evening went smoothly and got people up on the dance floor. He truly went above and beyond to make our day special and we were so pleased we picked him for our special day.

The entertainment and energy was phenomenal and the photo booth was a huge hit. Thanks to Philly Custom DJ for a great experience and excellent addition to our wedding!

    Adam was just the DJ we were looking for for our wedding. We wanted to keep away from some of the more conventional top 40 focused wedding DJs and implement playlists that were more reflective of our tastes. He was extremely receptive to this and worked to generate an awesome set for the wedding. He reads a crowd very well and had something for everyone. Would highly recommend him, especially if you're particular about your music.

    If you're looking for a DJ for your special event, please look no further. Adam and Philly Custom DJ is exactly who you need to make your special day great. I had a unique event, I was planning a surprise party and surprise proposal for my girlfriends birthday. I researched around and was actually in the process of going with a different DJ service but it didn't feel right with them. I reached out to Adam and it felt right instantly! Adam took the time to make my playlist perfect, making sure we had the right mix of intimate songs along with party songs for everyone to enjoy. I even ran into a problem with my original venue and Adam went above and beyond to help me work through that difficulty and remained flexible for my location choice. We created a wonderful and eclectic playlist which everyone enjoyed. It was the most special day of my life and could not have gone better! I never second guessed my decision and I am extremely picky so in conclusion- you found the right DJ company for the job! They genuinely care and will make your day great!

    Adam is great! We highly recommend him! He DJed for our 11/2016 wedding. We spoke to him multiple times in the run-up to the wedding and he helped us hand-select songs for the cocktail hour and reception. We didn't want a DJ who was unprofessional or overly familiar on the microphone during the reception, and Adam was perfect. He announced all of the events so things were easy to follow, but never went overboard or took liberties. He made sure that the songs that were most important to us were featured, that everyone's names were said correctly, and that our guests had a great time. He is easy to work with, responsive and flexible. Days before the wedding he even changed the cocktail hour mix when we asked for additional songs. When it came time to dance, our guests were on the dance floor all night. Adam is a great choice - especially for people who love music and want to be involved in the process of choosing the songs. (Of course if that doesn't appeal to you, he'd take your input and run with it - but we got into it and he was incredibly receptive to all of our input and allowed us to be involved in picking songs). We can't say enough good things about Adam.

    The service Adam and his crew bring to your wedding rises above merely playing music; he was instrumental in the planning of our event as well as the guy who reminded us to keep it fun. It was also very important to me to play a custom playlist of music throughout the reception event, which he made possible through collaborative Spotify playlists and Google Drive spreadsheets to stay on the same page. If you're looking for a DJ who isn't afraid to stray from the typical YMCA and such weddings, you've found your man. Also, I highly recommend his custom photo booth. Very worth the small extra amount for this amazing addition! I would get married again just to have my wedding DJ'd by Adam a second time.

    One of the things I insisted on for my reception was a fantastic DJ. Philly Custom DJ came highly recommended, and they delivered.

    Our DJ, Adam, was in communication with us from the get-go regarding our song choices, and helped us shape a plan to ensure that the reception would go off well. He arrived on the day-of on time, fully prepped, and ready to go. He read the crowd perfectly, kept the entertainment flowing, and even plucked surprising but fitting songs to play for some of the unexpected moments during the afternoon. We had bunches of people coming up to us later telling us how much fun the event was, especially the music.

    Please note, I had originally intended to have our wedding in Philadelphia, but due to circumstances, we had to move it to the Washington, DC, area. I chose Adam because of his philosophy that his job was to play the music we wanted, and I did not want to switch to another, if possible. We gladly paid extra for him to travel to us down there because we knew he was worth it. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

    Adam went above and beyond all of my expectations! He accommodated our DIY plans, scheduled conference calls to discuss the event in detail, and took meticulous notes to make sure he delivered the best possible service. He also gave choice advice during stressful times, and was a very calming presence throughout the planning process. Adam is a pro, and not only did he deliver a spectacular DJ experience, he made me and my fiancé feel at ease throughout. I highly recommend Philly Custom DJ to anyone getting married or throwing a party.

    In a few words, Adam is the MAN. Such a great personality, excellent taste in music and wonderful to work with.

    He was very proactive in our wedding planning (directly communicating with the wedding party, providing the evening agenda for our other vendors, simple yet effective forms for our music/timeline organization, etc.) He really helped us along in all aspects of the wedding planning.

    His slogan says it all "I'll listen to you and play the music you love". We truly personalized our wedding through a collective effort in making our playlists for the cocktail and dinner hours and then left the dance party in his hands - and boy did he deliver.

    He loves what he does and that really shines through when he's manning that DJ booth. Highly recommended for any occasion. I'll definitely stay in touch with him; I loved talking music together.

    Book this man!

    We really lucked out when we found Adam. From the very first phone conversation, he was professional, engaged and so easy to work with. He encouraged our involvement and input, was always prepared and just made the process fun. One thing we didn't have to stress about on our big day was the music because we knew Adam had it covered and we were right! If you are looking for someone that can pull together a great playlist for a formal cocktail hour and then execute the greatest dance party EVER...Adam is your man! We can't thank him enough!

    Adam was a delight to work with from the first phone call to the last dance. He went above and beyond anything you would expect from your DJ! Every phone call we had with him just felt like we were chatting with a friend about our wedding plans and ideas. He made every little idea we had come to life and he made our wedding night perfect. All of our guests commented on our DJ and how the wedding, and the music, felt so "us". Adam contacted all of our vendors and speakers ahead of time and had a printed schedule to give to everyone the day of the wedding. He gave me multiple water bottles to make sure I was staying hydrated throughout the wedding, and he even brought a speaker with a garbage bag covering it outside so we could have music during our sparkler exit tunnel while it was slightly raining. I believe that Adam is the reason our wedding went so smoothly, I am so happy we made the decision to use Philly Custom DJ, and if you are looking for a wedding DJ you should do yourself a favor and book them!

    If I used as many superlatives as Adam deserves, this review would be very tedious.

    From reading the first word of a Yelp review to the final notes resonating in the air at the end of my wife and I's wedding/reception the experience was unforgettable.

    Adam went above and beyond to make the planning and understanding of what was needed for every segment of the event very logical and simple.

    I am very particular about music and Adam put every song my wife and I requested in the playlist (and kept the songs we absolutely did not want OUT of the playlist).

    He even went so far as to find a studio version of a VERY meaningful song to us that I thought only existed as a live version. It was incredible and meant almost as much as getting married to my wife!

    Our guests loved Adam! He is very sociable and interactive and certainly got the crowd up on their feet dancing and thoroughly enjoying our special event.

    My wife and I certainly go beyond thinking of Adam as being our DJ. He is now considered a friend!

    You should not hesitate if you're considering having or absolutely need someone to host your event!

    Adam made our fun, garden party style wedding such a success. Everything was perfect from the ceremony to the last song at the reception. He also premixed our cocktail hour and gave us a copy so we have that as a keepsake. One of the main reasons I chose Adam's services was because he specifically said he would respect our playlist while also offering suggestions and advice along the way. I've been to other weddings where the DJs have "gone rogue" and didn't want that to happen at mine! I didn't live near my wedding venue, so Adam and I planned everything long distance via phone and email, which worked great. He always answered my questions and responded in a timely manner. Our wedding had some multicultural elements, and he even tracked down some very specific Indian music that I had trouble finding copies of.
    I would highly recommend Adam's DJ services! We couldn't have been more pleased.

    Oh the things you can luck into using the old search bar in google. My wife happened upon Adam and Philly Custom DJ through a quick search and after a brief conversation we arranged to meet for a drink and a bite to discuss what we were looking for. Within the few hours we spent talking about music, parties and ourselves Adam had won our trust and all he did over the next 6 months was keep reinforcing that this trust was warranted. He took everything we wanted and made it happen, he made additions that were spot on with the tone we wanted, he encouraged our weirdest ideas and more than anything he put our minds at ease that our dance floor would be jammed. When the day arrived Adam transcended DJ status and took on the role of master of ceremonies, helping us organize, get drinks and even make sure we were fed. I am forever thankful for him providing mini confetti cannons which I had mentioned off handed at a late meeting, and Adrienne and I couldn't have dreamed up a better person and crew than Adam and Philly Custom DJ to make our wedding a success.

    From the first conversation months ago to the last song of the night, Adam was absolutely perfect.

    We wrote our own ceremony and had music integrated for the processional and recessional. Adam was so helpful in planning this and nailed the music cues during the wedding. He also coordinated with our day-of planner extremely well. This came in especially handy when our caterer didn't show up on time. Adam rolled with the changes and stepped up big, making unplanned announcements and helping us change the schedule. We were able to re-order the plans of the night without sacrificing any quality.

    On top of all this, the music was awesome. We had an intercultural wedding, and he was able to find all the obscure requests (Brazilian pop hits of the 90's for example). He is fabulous at reading the room instead of just hitting play on a pre-assembled playlist, and nailing the timing for switching from one kinds of crowd pleaser to another (I swear he could read my mind whenever I was hoping for a specific song to play). We got a TON of compliments on our playlist, and a huge part of that was Adam's skill at managing a crowd.

    The music was epic, but what sets Adam apart more than anything is how much he really cares about your day being for YOU, and doing little things that make a difference. He practiced the pronunciation of the Father of the Bride's name for weeks, made a point of coming to meet us at our favorite bar, and took the time to sit down with my dad at the end of the night and compliment his speech. Every step of the way it was clear that Adam truly cared about making our wedding day everything we dreamed it would be.

    Adam with Philly Customs DJ was awesome!! He was so responsive to us from the very beginning. We had several skype sessions with him before the date of our wedding so that he could get a great idea of what we wanted at our wedding. Once we told him the songs we definitely wanted and the types of songs we wanted, he put together a sample playlist for us for our approval. And it was perfect!

    On the day of the wedding, Adam and his assistant were awesome. Adam was much more than a DJ. He helped coordinate several aspects of the wedding night. For example, he helped all the members of the wedding party line up and then he spaced us out for the walk to the alter. He also came up to me and my husband through out the night and asked us if we liked the way things were going and if there was anything he could do for us. In addition, he was very flexible throughout the night. For example, we had planned on having the fathers give speeches during dinner, but they way the night progressed, that just didn't work out. Adam was flexible and quickly coordinated things so the fathers could give speeches during the dancing.

    The music was also perfect. It was exactly what we wanted. But the music is not what stood out to us about Adam. What stood out was how much he genuinely cared about making our night a very special one.

    So Adam was fabulous in every way. We have zero complaints and we highly recommend him.

    (Oh, P.S., he was very inexpensive, especially for the amazing service we received!)

    Adam was the perfect wedding DJ. He was professional, fun and prepared. He is truly "custom" and understands pretty intuitively how much direction his clients need. We had a precise playlist of 12 hours of music to cut down, and he helped us narrow in to discover the necessary flow / music by getting to know us and the anecdotes behind our selections. It was a cool process. He also took initiative to communicate with our venue, collaborated with the technician on site, and day of he followed the script he helped us develop, and followed through on his promise to mix up our killer playlist. I think we can both confidently agree that was the best wedding playlist ever. Afterwards, he provided us a link to the timestamped setlist to share with our guests. Unlike most wedding DJs who are very boisterous, off-putting and on auto-pilot with the typical wedding hits, Adam was the cool, personable wizard behind the curtain. His efforts and style were appreciated by all!

    We were very fortunate to use Adam and Philly Custom DJ for our wedding in May 2015. We knew after our first phone conversation with Adam that we had found the dj for us. We knew that we didn't want a DJ who talked the whole time or played songs we didn't want; when we spoke, Adam immediately said he prefers not to talk and wanted to play music that we would really enjoy. Sold. We literally handpicked every song from the pre-ceremony lineup to the final song of the reception. Adam encouraged us to use songs that meant something to us or our family members/friends and designate certain ones for particular moments of the wedding. What resulted was a stellar song list that we LOVED and, turns out, our guests really loved too. Since it's his company and he does all the events he's hired for, I believe Adam takes special care and consideration. He's not just booking an event and sending out an employee. While we knew he had other clients and events, the amount of attention he gave us made it seem like we were the only thing on his mind! Day of, Adam and his assistant were on time and professional. He made it clear that all he wanted was for us to enjoy the day. We felt completely confident knowing that everything was in Adam's capable hands. He helped create the wedding that we envisioned and truly cared that we were happy. We received a number of compliments on our choice of DJ from our guests, but all we did was pick the right person for the job. Adam deserves all the credit! We can't thank him enough for make the day memorable.

    Adam DJ'd our daughter's Bat Mitzvah last week and did an amazing job start to finish. From our initial phone conversation, it was clear that he was interested in understanding what music we liked and what would work best for our group. We worked on playlists together including songs to please the crowd of 13 year olds and those that were 13 in the 80s. On the day of the event he nailed it with a high energy that kept everybody engaged. He accommodated the kids requests with some guidance from our previously worked out "no play" list. I will point out that if you're looking for MTV style dancers, props and party games Philly Custom DJ is probably not the right fit for you. But if you're all about the music, and if your crowd loves to dance, you really couldn't do better.

    Adam did a great job for us and made our evening and even the days leading up to it all that less stressful. He made sure every song that played was a song we loved and kept the dance floor full all night. I can't say enough good things about Adam and the hard work he put in so my husband and I could have a truly special and effortless event. Not to mention, he was half the price of other vendors recommended to me.

    If you're planning any even where you're considering a DJ, Adam at Philly Custom DJ is the guy to call.

    I don't have enough words to say what a joy it was working with Adam. While looking for a DJ, we wanted to find someone who would be willing to work with us to create a playlist tailored to our favorite music and what we wanted to hear and dance to. Adam met with with multiple times (usually quite casually at a local spot or our place to make things easy for us) and he got to know us, our musical tastes, and did exactly what we were dreaming of; customized the music for our entire wedding from the ceremony, to the cocktail hour, and each and every song of the reception. He had an awesome shared spreadsheet with all of our suggestions laid out and we worked on it together to narrow down to our top choices. He also happens to have great taste in music so if you are not looking to to put that much effort into what play- I trust he is your guy! He is fun and easy going and very professional so working with him was a breeze. All of our guests raved about how well things went, how great the music was, and how fantastic Adam was overall. He even provided us with CDs from the day which is so awesome to have! You will not find a better person to run the show (he actually went and checked out the venue a month prior to the wedding and reached out the the other vendors to coordinate with them) and unlike some of the other big companies who have 1000's of reviews and you don't even meet your DJ before the event, Adam's pricing is more than competitive (which of course is a big part of planning). I am so grateful for having found Philly Custom DJ and having gotten to work with Adam was one of the easiest and most fun part of planning!
