    Best time ever!!

    We had Variety Music as our entertainment for our wedding on 8/24/23 at Sea Cliff Manor. They were so chill and awesome from the start. We had an amazing steel drum player for cocktail hour which set a really cool vibe. Definitely calmed my anxiety! We had Ray and Tom as our MC and DJ. They were an incredible team. I gave them a list of songs to play which they did and then played all these other songs I didn’t even think of that were a huge hit! Watching some videos back from the wedding, I didn’t realize how many guests were singing along to all the songs. So many friends and family were on the dance floor all night. All our friends were raving about how good our entertainment was. I highly recommend Variety Music you will not regret it and you will have a blast!!

    Amazing work on our wedding day

    We couldn’t be happier with the work done by Variety Music on our wedding day, 10/1/2022! We worked primarily with Ray and Tom who were easily accessible, responsive, helpful, and enthusiastic at all times. For us, our wedding playlist was extremely important, and something we had been working on for quite some time. We had specific songs that we requested as “must plays” and we requested all the music played at our wedding to come directly from our playlist. Tom and Ray made it clear that if it was important to us, it was important to them too, and they followed through with all of our requests!! Not only that, we wrote specific introductions for the individual members of our bridal party with a different song to be played for each. Ray and Tom did an exceptional job with this and it was a huge hit! Ray even practiced the introductions for some time to ensure they went perfectly and they absolutely did, he did an exceptional job. With Tom as the DJ and Ray as the MC, our wedding was a blast, the energy was always up, and people were dancing the whole night! I would definitely recommend paying the extra money to have an MC in addition to the DJ. Overall, I would highly recommend booking Variety Music DJ Entertainment for your wedding, exceptional work at an extremely reasonable cost!

    Variety did a wonderful a job from start to finish! The strings and the steel drummer made the ceremony and cocktail hour perfect. And of course Tom & Ray had the dance floor going all night! It was the best night of our lives. Thank you to the whole Variety crew- the best in the business!!!

    Hire Variety

    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.

    Best DJ Company Ever

    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.

    Variety Music provided us with nothing but the best for our wedding! They were very flexible and willing to please. Our wedding party was on the dance floor the entire time! (Just like we'd hoped!) They dealt well with accommodating special requests during our speeches portion. Overall, my husband and I were thoroughly pleased with their performance and professionalism throughout our special day!

    Best night ever thanks to the DJ Team!

    I just want to share what an absolutely amazing job Serg, Sal and Justin did last night. Completely blown away as were all my guests! The dance floor was packed all night, we never wanted to leave. Music truly makes or breaks a wedding and they definitely made it! I already sent your information over to several of them who asked. The set up was beautiful and exactly what we envisioned for our wedding. Thank you all so much again! Hope to be in touch for any future events!

    Thank you!
    Jeff and Nicole

    Wedding at Brotherhood Winery 10.15.21

    Variety Music was absolutely terrific. They knew how to keep the party BUMPING along with catering to all ages. Our dance floor was packed the entire night. Tom as the DJ and Ray as the MC were a great team! The party was so fun that Tom played for about 15 minutes after the venue turned their lights on to end the night!! HIGHLY recommend!!

    Amazing - EASY Recommendation!

    We had our wedding on 8/27/21 and our experience with Variety Music Entertainment was phenomenal. Throughout the whole entirety of the planning process from booking to the day of the actual event, this team was nothing less than stellar and professional. They were timely, responsive, and experts of their craft. They gave us the freedom to select songs and they put together our vision of our day perfectly through music and entertainment. We had Ray (MC), Tom (DJ), and James (Photobooth). All three individuals' energy were amazing. We received so many compliments about the MC, DJ, and Photobooth and we would highly recommend them to anyone without a doubt and we are not surprised at all at the other amazing reviews they've received. Our party had sooo much fun and there was never a dead moment on the wedding day and everything flowed so well. Variety Music Entertainment is an easy recommendation from us

    Highly recommended DJ-exceeded expectations!

    We found Variety music at Long Island bridal expo. We met Tom, our DJ and Ray, our Emcee who we liked from the start. They are professional, quick to respond to all our questions. On the Wedding day, the music and energy level they provided were on point. We had the true hybrid experience of both DJ music and live music with the added on guitarist, Sinatra singer and saxophonist during different portions of the wedding day. Our guests were entertained and are still commenting on how great the music was on our wedding day. We are so glad we chose Variety Music!

    COVID 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!

    Packed Dance Floor The Entire Night!

    My husband and I used Variety Music and we were thrilled with them! They were extremely accommodating and flexible to our 2 date changes due to COVID. Ray was very responsive and great with answering all of my questions. As for the day of the wedding, these guys killed it! They tailored the music to our guests so the dance floor was packed the entire night! We had many guests come up to us during the wedding saying how great the music was and even had one guest ask for the playlist so she can use it for her wedding! Highly recommend Variety Music!!

    the BEST & GO TO for your music/entertainment needs

    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.

    Best of the best!

    Our MC was Sal, and our DJ was Joey. Sal commanded the room without being overbearing, which is exactly what we were looking for. He was confident and entertaining. The DJ was great; he played a great mix of oldies and new songs that got every generation dancing. I don’t think we had a single song where people weren’t on the dance floor. The photo booth was a great addition for people who aren’t dancers; my guests seemed to really enjoy it. Every time I looked over there were people in it. Sal even played a really funny game to give away the centerpieces that my guests are still talking about. We also added their saxophone player for our cocktail hour. He was so talented and made the cocktail hour memorable. We were absolutely thrilled with them!

    I cannot say enough amazing things about Sal and Tom and the whole company. They were one of my favorite vendors from the first time we sat down with them. The whole process we just felt so comfortable and felt that they truly understood what we wanted for our wedding. The night of they exceeded our expectations. The dance floor was packed all night and they really read the crowd and moved seamlessly through different genres. We couldn't have asked for anything better!

    Wow!!! Variety Music is the BEST!!!

    Best and easiest decision ever. Variety music kept the energy high and everyone on the dance floor!!! You must hire the zap photographer!!! He took incredible photos and you can never have enough pictures of your special day. I also hired strings for the ceremony. Everything was incredible from start to finish. They pay attention to detail and want your day to be just as special as you can possibly imagine. They exceeded all expectations!!!

    I 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!

    Excellent DJ

    Tom and Ray did a fantastic job with our wedding. Tom hit all the music we requested and Ray got everyone up on the dance floor. Our guest were dancing all night and we heard nothing but great things about it from our family and friends. Prior to our wedding Tom was easy to work with and very receptive to all our requests. Ray is a great MC. He got all our family and friends going, even those who never dance got up and danced at least a little. We were very happy with the job they did. No regrets with having Variety DJ our wedding.

    A night to remember

    I cannot put into words how happy I am to have found Variety music. But I’ll try so here it goes...

    My journey with Variety music started about a year and a half ago. I was recommended to them by a family friend. She raved about how wonderful her experience was with Variety. The level of professionalism was evident throughout. They walked me through all the steps and exceeded my expectations. They had everyone on the dance floor, even my 85 year old grandmother who walks with a cane.
