Best DJ Around

I don’t even know how to begin. We got married in September and Nick made sure the music and dance floor at our wedding was everything we wanted! Working with him was so easy and fun, and he made sure that the party thrived all night long. Our friends and family adored him and could not stop talking about how wonderful he was—- neither can my husband and I. Nick was responsive, professional, knowledgeable, kind, fun, and a delight to be around.

The Best!!!

Nick knows how to get a party started AND how to keep a party going! He was the DJ at our wedding this past September and we could not have possibly picked someone better. Not only was he super communicative, experienced and relatable, on the day of he brought amazing energy and everyone loved him (we're still getting compliments months later)! He's also super in tune with other vendors in the area further making the experience with him seamless and organized. Definitely hire him if you want a fantastic, memorable event!

The best dj ever

Nick was the DJ for our wedding a few weeks ago and he was AMAZING. Throughout the entire wedding process, he was responsive and personable, helped me plan out the day of timeline, eased all my stress, and was an absolute blast. All of our guests raved about the music and all of our guests were on the dance floor, thanks to Nick. He even came out onto the dance floor and was truly the life of the party. His energy was amazing and we can’t thank him enough!!

Mvp vendor

From start to finish, Nick made our wedding so incredible for us. We so enjoyed our lengthy phone calls filled with laughs, stories, and plans for the wedding night, as well as meeting in person a few weeks before to go over all the final touches. We had so much fun organizing all of our music and bonding over certain artists, learning how well certain music works, and what we'd prefer not to hear, which Nick followed perfectly. He checked all the boxes with our special requests for the night, provided more than enough sound and audio where needed, really got to know our guests, and even surprised us with some unreal remixes. He completely understood our vision and brought it to life at our reception- absolute perfection. We are so glad we were provided with his name on our venue's vendor list and wouldn't have wanted anyone else. Thank you, Nick, for making our wedding night completely unforgettable and perfect.

Amazing DJ passionate about his work

Nick was THE BEST. He was so easy to work with and we all had SUCH a blast at the wedding because of him. All of our guests complimented him and many people thought he was an old friend because he fit in so well with us and everyone else. He's just that personable and easy going! He played all of our favorite music and mixed songs so seamlessly. He even brought his own drum pad to play along. Cocktail hour can get a little slow, but Nick brought cards to play blackjack with our guests and keep them entertained. I couldn't imagine anyone else DJing our wedding!

The Absolute Best DJ — Nick Made Our Night Unforgettable!

Nick was absolutely amazing!
From start to finish, he brought such fun, positive energy and kept the dance floor packed all night. We had some pretty specific (and not-so-typical) music requests, and he went above and beyond to make sure we heard all our favorites while mixing in songs we hadn’t even thought of — but fit the vibe perfectly.

The transitions between moments were seamless, and you could tell how much he genuinely cared about making the day feel personal to us. He even suggested we have a private last dance while guests were loading onto the shuttles — something I’d never have thought to do, but it ended up being one of our favorite moments of the whole night.

And we have to mention how cool it was getting to play the percussion pad — the crowd went wild! Nick truly made our wedding unforgettable, and we can’t recommend him enough. Our guests are still talking about how fun the music was!

Nick Maddalone DJ Review - Thank You!

We had the absolute pleasure of having Nick Maddalone as our wedding DJ, and we couldn’t have been happier with our choice! Nick truly has a gift for bringing any vibe you want to your wedding. From the very beginning, he was incredibly engaging, flexible, and easy to work with. He made time to connect with us over the phone and offered so many creative ideas and recommendations to make our day extra special. One of our favorite suggestions was the wedding Mad Libs, which turned out to be such a fun and unique way to entertain our guests!

Nick went above and beyond to make our wedding personal and memorable. During dinner, he played the first dance songs of our family members, which was such a meaningful touch. Seeing our loved ones light up and get up to dance to their songs was truly heartwarming! His upbeat energy was contagious—he had everyone, from kids to grandparents, on the dance floor all night long. Our family and friends are a lively bunch, but Nick took things to the next level. The dance floor was packed the entire evening!

One of the standout moments was Nick inviting us to play his drums—it was such a fun and unexpected touch. He also made sure the kids at the wedding felt included, playing a special song just for them to dance to, which they absolutely loved! The mix of music was perfect, with a seamless blend of slow and upbeat songs, newer hits, and old classics, all tailored to our tastes. The online portal for song requests was super user-friendly and made planning so much easier.

Nick’s professionalism, responsiveness, and genuine excitement for what he does made the entire process stress-free and enjoyable. He was always quick to respond and so happy and enthusiastic during every conversation. He’s not just an amazing DJ—he’s an all-around great guy who clearly loves what he does.

If you’re looking for the best DJ in the Albany region, look no further. Nick Maddalone is the one! Thank you, Nick, for helping us have the best day of our lives—we’ll never forget it!

I have worked with Maddalone Entertainment many times, and it's always a pleasure (for me, as a wedding pro, and for the clients). The dance floor is always packed, and Nick is as accommodating, friendly and genuine as you'll find in the wedding industry.

Paul Saunders Photography Paul Saunders Photography Wedding Photographers

Nick Maddalone is unlike most typical DJ’s. He has such a wonderful positive energy and always works incredibly hard to make sure couples are delighted. He is a first-class professional and I have known Nick for more than 10 years since he first started as a DJ back in the day with Cool Cats. He never stops smiling and truly loves his job and will make sure everything is perfect. He also has incredible experience for someone still quite young and never fails to impress me. If Nick is available, don't think twice as you'll be beyond thrilled (your guests too) with how much fun your wedding party will be.
