We absolutely loved working with Mark and could not have asked for a better DJ for our wedding!
From the very beginning, Mark was so much fun and incredibly easy to work with. He has such a relaxed, informal, and personable approach that made the entire planning process feel so comfortable and enjoyable. We had multiple meetings leading up to the wedding where he took the time to walk through the details of the day, answer our questions, and make sure we felt completely comfortable with how everything would go.
On the wedding day, he was absolutely fantastic! He kept the energy up all night, was incredibly flexible and adaptable with the music, and made sure everyone was having a great time. He really knew how to keep things moving while still making the night feel fun and natural.
We genuinely had such a great experience working with Mark. He made everything so easy, brought such great energy to our wedding, and was just an absolute pleasure to have as part of our day. We would recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ who is professional, easygoing, and knows how to make a wedding fun!!

He was able to bring our vision to life and made the night run as smooth as possible. It was the most magical night of our lives and Mark made sure it all flowed perfectly, including a packed dance floor, so we could really be present with everyone. Mark has the best personality, is incredibly professional, and very experienced. He met with us numerous times and was always available for the inevitable questions that pop up during the planing process. If you want your wedding to be perfect, you have to hire Mark. We are so very grateful we were lucky enough to land him!

Mark McGillicuddy!
By far is the BEST wedding DJ on the south shore!
From his attentiveness to his amazing “stage” presence of his voice, he will blow you and all of your guests ...
away!
Mark was able to not only complete all of our requests but also did a fantastic job at playing music perfectly fit for our crowd of all ages! From the time we started planning our big day over 2 years ago mark was constantly reaching out to ensure we would be happy on our big day! Mark treated us like family and made us feel very comfortable during the very stressful planning process, he took so much stress off of us and made this part of planning seamless!
We had so many small touches we wanted to add to our day, from playing a surprise recording of the bride singing while walking down the aisle, changing songs midway through the father daughter dance and to planning each special song to stop and end exactly at the right time! He was able to accommodate and provide us with our very personal music choices! Not only did he bring the party but, he can sure read a room. From the moment the dance floor opened until the final song and the lights came on there was not a single lull in the energy on the dance floor. We cannot say enough about Mark and how unbelievable he is! Mark is absolutely amazing and he will not let you or your guests down! We couldn’t have had anyone better!

I was worried about finding a DJ that could incorporate some traditional Albanian music into our wedding but Mark made it all seamless. To all the couples out there planning mixed ...
culture weddings - don’t hesitate to go with Mark!
He was communicative, met with us in person before the wedding to explain the whole process, and made sure to pronounce all the names correctly when it came time to announcing the speeches. It’s a small detail that really mattered to me. Oh and he wore a nice suit, which I think shows that he cares about his job and how he presents himself to wedding guests.
Our guests had a blast dancing to the American & the Albanian songs and we loved having him as our DJ, highly recommend!

DJ Mark was PHENOMENAL! I cannot write enough positive reviews about his services! Mark was recommended through a family friend that had Mark as their DJ, as well as 2 other family...
weddings, and we booked him without meeting or hearing his work. Mark took the time to meet with Mike and I prior to the wedding to chat about how everything would work, he listened to our song requests/likes, and the dance floor was full the entire night. He worked so well with the band we had playing for 2 hours during the night as well and reached out to the band to discuss sets and make sure that songs were not repeated. Again, I could go on and on over how amazing Mark was throughout the entire process and during the wedding! We look forward to working with Mark again for other family functions that come up throughout the years. Book Mark as soon as you can to ensure an amazing experience for your wedding, or any other function that you may be hosting!

All I told every vendor was I don't care about anything except that people dance and let me tell you my wish came true because of him!!!! Best wedding decision I made was hiring Mark McGuillicuddy!

Prior to our wedding Mark made sure to get all the details and then checked with our wedding party before intros so that everyone knew what their role was. He did all the hard work for us!
