t will last a lifetime. Everything was organized brilliantly, and everyone has taken the time to tell me how great everything looked. Everyone raved about the music during the reception, and some of our friends are still talking about dancing to "Sweet Caroline." I know I'm still recovering from the festivities.
We had the pleasure of working with Bow Tied Weddings our whole wedding weekend. They were absolutely INCREDIBLE!! They helped run all the Friday rehearsal details, emceed and DJed...
our rehearsal dinner. On Saturday, wedding day, Bow Tied Weddings made our big day go so smoothly: from setup-details, emceeing, coordinating the whole day, creating the wedding time line and of course having the BEST DANCE PARTY we could ask for. For our Sunday wedding brunch, they were there to help us end the best weekend ever with playing fun tunes.
From the moment we met Bow Tied Weddings, they immediately offered to help us through this wedding process. They recommended vendors and answered any questions we had along the way. They made it a point to built a relationship with us & our other wedding vendors.
Bow Tied Weddings went above and beyond professionally but also personally. We think so highly of them and all they did to make our wedding weekend so special. We truly love them and will now always have a special place for Bow Tied Weddings in our hearts. By the time we had to part for the weekend there were definitely some tears because they put so much heart & soul into their clients. We would highly recommend Bow Tied Weddings to make your day or wedding weekend perfect!
Matt went above and beyond to make our wedding exactly what we hoped for and then some! From the start, he was personable and made an effort to get to know us as a couple and what ...
our guests might look for, rather than making assumptions or working off a "templated plan." He was nonjudgmental and offered creative suggestions/solutions on matters we didn't think of or didn't know enough about. At the same time, he took into account every tiny/unusual request or detail we asked for. Countless guests commented on how skilled he was at reading the room and keeping the energy high all night... guests who otherwise don't dance or party at weddings were on the dance floor all night thanks to Matt! While we only hired him as a DJ, from what I understand he has since added on coordinator services, and he showcased those skills as well! He was more than just a DJ who shows up to play songs- he worked seamlessly with our other vendors to ensure a smooth flow. He kept us on schedule, moving things along just as we had imagined, while staying flexible with our whims throughout the night. He even checked in to make sure we had drinks, food, etc. as festivities went along. He is truly dedicated to his role, and his passion shines through, making our day even better than we could have ever imagined!
Matthew and his team will go above and beyond to make sure your day is worry free and fun for all! Matthew took time to video chat with us a few times before the big day. He got to...
know us and our style and then took charge the day of. He thought of things I missed and fixed things on the spot to keep everything carefree and the best day ever! Him and his team go beyond your wedding day and care about being a positive presence in the world. You will not regret making this team a key part of your big day! Thank you, Matthew!
Bow Tied Weddings were THE BEST!!! They came highly recommended to us and the rest is now history. We met Matthew in person for the first time during a walk through at the venue. W...
e immediately realized how good we had it. Not only did we feel like we had a DJ but another strong advocate to make sure everything went as planned. He was more than happy to vocalize ideas which was MUCH appreciated. Our wedding night came with unexpected heavy rain and I remember looking out to find him dancing on the floor with towels on his feet so that everything would be dry. He was also soaking wet and could have cared less. He is so positive and of course an AWESOME DJ. All of our guests had a blast. He sure knew how to keep the party going. Bow Tied Weddings are worth every penny and then some. I am rarely impressed enough to write reviews. Book Bow Tied and you will not be disappointed!!!
Matthew was unbelievable. He was a blast to work with before the wedding, always made time to chat with us over the phone/meet and get drinks and even came to a wedding planning me...
eting with us and was so helpful! He’s so great at what he does, we had all 100 guests on the dance floor until the very end, nobody wanted the night to end! We’re so happy we chose him, our day went perfectly and Bow Tied Weddings was a huge part of why it was such an amazing day!
Matthew and Karese are such a fun duo! After a year delay due to the pandemic, the long awaited dance party at our anniversary vow renewal celebration was a hit. Matthew played all...
the best music that people wanted to dance to and have a good time with and none of the lame, worn out wedding songs! During the planning process they were super attentive, great with communication, and flexible with my vision for a slightly different run of show since it was a renewal event. They helped keep the party going all night long and appreciate all they did! We had a blast!
Matthew + Karese are amazing!! Not only did they SERIOUSLY get the dance floor moving, they are such kind, thoughtful people, and they put wonderful care and attention into their c...
ouples. We truly felt doted on, and they helped us throughout. A prime example of this is they worked directly with our ceremony musicians to ensure they were prepared with amplification. I can't thank them enough! HIGHLY recommend :)
We loved working with the Bow Tied team. We worked with Matt originally, and then due to postponing (COVID) we got to work with Bessan for our perfect day. We loved the process wit...

get every detail right. All of our guests had a blast!
Matthew and Karese are two of the most genuine, kind, and loving people we have had the honor of meeting. From the very start, their full attention was on us and our wedding day. W...
e had the pleasure of being able to meet them in person a few days ahead of time to get to know each other, finalize song choices and get a feel for how the day would go. Their experience helped us make our tough decisions in a matter of seconds. He was there when we needed recommendations for certain songs (because who knows what song they want to cut the cake to? not us.) Matthew and Karese even came to our rehearsal dinner so they could meet our families and bridal party and make sure everyone was comfortable with them. We felt like we had our long-time friends as our DJ and helping hands. Matthew did an amazing job at keeping the flow and making sure everyone was out on the dance floor. At the end of the night when our final shuttle did not arrive as planned, Matthew and Karese were gracious enough to take as many as they could back to the hotel, including me and my husband. They went above and beyond what we could have ever expected, and we are so lucky to have had them be a part of our wedding day!
Throughout the entire process, Matthew was great to work with and was extremely flexible especially during the pandemic as we had to reschedule our wedding twice. He really took th...
e time to get to know us to ensure he understood our vision entertainment-wise for our wedding. Prior to the wedding we filled out a detailed questionnaire outlining song and genre suggestions, as well as our must-play list which we went over extensively with him and his business partner and fiancé, Karese, the week of. They were extremely knowledgeable and offered wonderful advice we didn’t even consider for our wedding night. They did ask if they could stop by at our rehearsal dinner to meet our family and bridal party to get to know them a little beforehand and hear their song recommendations to ensure everyone had a great time! I will say this threw a lot of people off especially since we were being served dinner at the time they arrived – which was not their fault. My only suggestion would be, if this continues, is to try and meet at the rehearsal instead of the rehearsal dinner since the dinner is typically a more intimate setting and it’s difficult to know when the right time is to show up.
Overall, Matthew is a fun and energetic guy and did a great job reading the dance floor and adjusted the music to keep the dance floor upbeat and lively. It seemed like everyone had a great time busting some moves! If you’re looking for a good time for your wedding, look no further 😊
Matt did such a great job DJing our wedding! The COVID pandemic certainly created a unique situation for a DJ, but he handled it with ease. He was very communicative during the pla...
nning process and held several video chats with us as we worked through the necessary changes. Even though we were not able to have the huge dance party we may have initially planned, the end result was a wonderful gathering filled with lots of fun and love. We are so grateful to Matt for his help in making sure we had a night to remember!
We were extremely happy with our experience with BowTied Weddings! Matthew was extremely responsive and easy to work with from day 1! He drove all the way to Warrenton from Richmon...
d for our walk-through and we are so glad he did! He was profoundly helpful in deciding where everything should be placed for our reception and strongly advocated for us with out venue coordinator. We also had a rather challenging ceremony site and he conquered it like the pro he is! Matthew did an amazing job with our song list and incorporating the eclectic requests we had! He even stayed late when we had an unexpected rain delay for cocktail hour and made the best of it- even dancing away the rain while drying off the dance floor! We could not recommend him or his company more highly! If you want a young, fun, energetic, and can-do-attitude DJ- look no further!
We did a last dance at the end of our reception, and Matthew was great about getting everyone to leave, and then he snapped some really sweet pictures and a video of us. Our photo...
graphers had already left by then, so it was great to still be able to capture the moment.
Matthew was the perfect DJ to have our wedding. He really helpful and his professionalism as well as fun-factor really set the tone for the night. Definitely recommend!
Matthew went above and beyond his call of duty. From our very first meeting, to the very last dance, he was on top of every detail and ensured that my husband and I had the best ni...
ght. He put drinks in our hands, he handled timing, he felt with day of issues. HE IS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT! We so recommend Matthew and Bow Tied Weddings to be a part of your day!
Do you want a DJ that enjoys what he does, makes sure you get exactly what you want, will entertain your guests all night long, and is super affordable? Then look no further, Matth...
ew Davey is your guy! Matthew was so much fun to work with throughout our entire wedding planning process. You can tell he really LOVES what he does. My wife and I were picky with our music but he was patient and helped with song selections. We were stumped on a few song selections but Matthew instantly came up with ways to make our ceremony/reception the best it could be. His day-of-coordination was also super helpful, he was there to help us with whatever we needed the day of. Not only did we find the best DJ in the business, but we have made a lifelong friend. "DJ Mface" is simply the best, our day wouldn't have been complete without him!! Thank you Matthew and Bow Tied Weddings for making our dream wedding a reality!!
Working with Matt was truly amazing ! Our wedding was perfect and it was all due to having the best dj ever ! Matt is more than a dj, he has worked with us for over the past year a...
nd has personally taken the time to get to know us and be a friend to us ! Our wedding was so well organized and he did everything we asked for and more. From greeting us and getting us drinks while we are taking pictures, to introducing us and playing our favorite songs and coming out to party at our after party, he was amazing ! We couldn’t be more happy and we would recommend bow tied wedding to everyone. Thank you for making our day so special!
Matthew is an excellent DJ if you're looking for an all-night dance party. Our dance floor was fun and filled throughout the entire reception. That said, despite filling out onlin...
e forms and discussing details the week of, our ceremony music wasn't done correctly and he used the wrong song for the best man's toast. He seems to do exactly what he wants, rather than follow the bride and groom's requests. Overall, great DJ for dancing, not for details.
I thought Matthew was fantastic! I didn't pick the music, but everyone was dancing and having a great time! He kept to the timeline and everything was great!
Matthew was fantastic! From the meetings before hand, to the actual day of, everything was a breeze and he was so easy to work with! Our guests have told us they had a fabulous t...

where we left the music choice up to him, and he was able to accommodate both. He went way above and beyond and was even able to work with us on last minute changes. He kept our evening on track and made sure everyone had a great time! He did a superb job and just put an extra touch on such an important day. Thank you, Matt!
