All around amazing experience. From working with Ray and Tom and getting all the details ironed out, to the amazing musicians and staff that made our day flawless, we'd recommend Variety to anyone and everyone. Want to give a special shoutout to all those involved: Sal our MC and Christian our DJ - our guests have not stopped telling us how much they enjoyed these two. They were so professional and easy to work with and really just took our wedding to the next level. We also had Vinny and Paul at our ceremony, playing the piano and violin respectively. And Ed and Nick at our cocktail hour. The musicians were so great and so kind. We were so happy we added all four of them to our day. The music was perfect. With our wedding day being the most important day of our lives thus far it was nice working with a company that respected that and enhanced the overall experience. -

Variety Music is awesome. After speaking with Ray on the phone back in 2021 for our 2022 wedding, I knew right away that they would be perfect. We wanted specific plays/do not plays and they completely understood that. Throughout the wedding planning process, Ray or Tom were always available via e-mail/phone. They were very prompt in answering and that’s always key when you are planning a wedding. We had the steel pan drummer/percussionist Howie and were able to add percussion to our reception with no issues. We were also able to change things last minute and everything was easy with no mistakes made whatsoever. I came in to our meeting before the wedding with a long play list and “ do not playlist”. I was worried about being judged for my craziness, but Ray was totally cool with it . When I called a few days later to talk to Tom to add a dance , based on our conversation, I could tell he actually went through the playlists and didn’t just brush it off. That meant a lot. He was also really enthusiastic about the 90s stuff we wanted played, and that just made me confident, when everything else about the wedding made me so nervous, that they were going to do a fine job. As for the day of the wedding, it was perfect. All the songs I gave them for the ceremony and reception were played with no error. Ray and Tom came up to me and double checked with me on everything. People were on the dance floor all night, and if they weren’t on the dance floor, they were at the photo booth (also from variety ) , who gives you a scrapbook to take home with the pictures (hilarious alternative to a guest book) and gives you the files via e-mail (still laughing at these pictures nearly 2 weeks later). Ray was an excellent MC who the crowd adored and he was very interactive. He suggested a game which I never thought to do but it was so fun to watch and I really enjoyed it. Tom crushed it as the DJ. I could tell he loves his job and is very passionate about what he does. They all are really. Everyone was dancing, singing, sweating, including me. Our voices were gone from singing. Howie was such a vibe. I didn’t get to see him playing the steel pan at the cocktail hour, but he was amazing on drums and let us as well as my little niece and my uncle play drums too. The photo booth attendant was very friendly as well. Basically, if you LOVE music and the DJ is the most important vendor at your wedding, RUN to book Variety. I will continue to recommend them to anyone looking for wedding entertainment. -

We hired Variety on a referral and I'm SO glad we did! We would recommend them to anyone planning a wedding or event. Ray was so easy to work with and responsive, as we navigated our COVID wedding date move and up to the fine details of including songs that have great meaning in my family. Aaron our MC and Howie our drummer were the LIFE of our party- and our guests just had the very best time. Easiest choice for any long island wedding. -

Due to the coronavirus, we had to change our wedding plans to be at the home of my now husband's parents. Despite the change in location, smaller party and the need to make things COVID19 friendly, Variety Music really made the party. Having a DJ brought some normalcy back to what I thought was going to be a subpar wedding (because 2020 just sucks) and they made sure all of our guests were enjoying themselves. Thank you to Ray and Tom for an amazing night. You made this 2020 bride very happy! -

Michele Sent on 07/14/2019I would highly recommend using variety music for your wedding!
My husband and I had an exceptional experience working with Variety Music. Tom was our DJ and Sal was our MC. Sal was articulate and fun when it came to announcing our wedding party and organizing games with our guests. Tom kept everyone on the dance floor the entire night from my grandparents to my parents friends to our friends. Tom played every song on our list that we provided him prior to the wedding at our last meeting as well as a couple of extra songs that fit with the genres of music that we like. He read the dance floor well and changed the music based on who was dancing at any given time. I would highly recommend using variety music for your wedding! -

Deanna Sent on 06/26/2017100% Variety music is the BEST choice! My MC, Ray & DJ, Tom were above and beyond! At my meetings with both of them they were kind, knowledgeable and funny from the start. I also used them for the photo booth services. So happy my husband and I choose them for our May 20th wedding! -

Melissa Sent on 01/03/2015I can't say enough good things about Variety Music!! The music at my wedding was amazing! My guest left tired because they never stopped dancing! Tom and Ray were incredible. We had Howie doing live percussion and that just took it up to a whole other level. Every request was played, every intro was correct and I still have people asking for their information! Variety was the first vendor that we booked and we couldn't be happier with how things turned out. Can't wait to use them again!! -

Lauren Sent on 12/30/2014We are so happy we chose Variety for our DJ. From the beginning, they were friendly and attentive when we were booking them which we appreciated!
We had a piano player for our ceremony, and even though we had some non-traditional songs, he played them beautifully and really made the ceremony special because the songs were very meaningful to us!
At the reception, we had a packed dance floor from start to finish. They really listened to what kind of music we requested, and played a majority of this. They even checked in with us halfway through the night to make sure we liked the kind of songs they were playing. Everyone is still talking about how great the music was at our wedding and what a great time they had. Thank you so much, I will definitely be recommending Variety in the future! -

Melissa Sent on 07/17/2013Tom and Ray were absolutely fantastic! My friend's Dad said at the end of the wedding "I haven't danced at a wedding in 10 years!" I'm almost positive every single person was out of their seats dancing! Tom was great as the DJ and Ray the MC was super professional and kept checking on us to make sure everything was going smoothly. They both went over everything with us before the wedding and it went off without a hitch! Fantastic! -

Jessie Sent on 01/09/2013Every time I spoke with someone days and weeks after the wedding, all I kept hearing was: “The music was GREAT! Your DJ was AWESOME!” I enthusiastically concur! I knew I made the right choice when I walked into the dining hall with my husband before the reception started, and they were playing Bing Crosby’s “White Christmas”—I just melted! Yes, it was a chance thing, but I knew then they had listened to my desires! Variety Music provided a truly entertaining evening for everyone, and me, especially—fussy me! Music is so important to me, so of course my reception was no exception. Getting married Thanksgiving weekend, I wanted the reception to invoke the beginning of the Christmas season, my favorite time of the year (and my favorite kind of music!). Variety took my Christmas music requests and fulfilled them, turning the reception into the perfect half/Christmas, half/standard party. I probably provided them with a request list muuuuch longer than they’re used to, but they played nearly everything! So many of my guests raved about the Christmas music (thank goodness!) and all the music in general, especially my extremely musically-selective father! And they made my husband’s family happy with the traditional Italian songs! I owe that to our remarkable DJ, Will—thank you for making me the happiest, danciest bride ever, and pleasing our family and friends! And our MC, Danny, was outstanding, too—passionate, engaging, and fun! Variety also provided the uplighting, which looked wonderful! I couldn’t recommend them enough. They truly went above and beyond to make our reception a tremendous success. -

Christie Sent on 12/12/2011My friends are describing my wedding as "the best wedding ever"!!! Thank you variety music!!!! Music was great all night, the games were fun, and the timing was on point. The staff was very patient and very professional. I found them as "the knot's #1 DJ" and I truly did hire the best wedding DJ out there. -

Rebecca Sent on 10/26/2011Ray and his crew did a phenomenal job at my wedding. Every guest mentioned that it was amazing the dance floor was filled non-stop. I have met with 4 other DJ's prior to choosing Variety, and Ray by far was the best at understanding and willingness to work things out for you.
Thanks Ray!
