WE WERE SO HAPPY WITH MYSTICAL ENTERTAINMENT — WOW WOW WOW!!!!! It honestly makes me sad writing this review because it means our wedding chapter with Mystical is officially over, but I am SO happy to say we have nothing but amazing things to say about them! From the beginning, Breanna in the main office was so easy to talk to, helpful, and made the process so easy. Our DJ was Anthony Moubayed and our MC was Nicco Direnzi, and these two were SUCH an incredible duo. Nicco is BORN to be an MC. 😂 From our first FaceTime when we heard that big “HELLOOO, HOW ARE YOU TONIGHT?!” MC voice, we knew we were in good hands. He was so energetic, personable, and patient with us. I also really wanted Anthony involved in our planning calls because I valued his input as our DJ, and despite both of their busy schedules, Anthony and Nicco made it work — even doing multiple calls with us to make sure everything was exactly how we wanted it. And Anthony UNDERSTOOD THE ASSIGNMENT. I told him how important it was that the mixes flowed perfectly and that the music never felt choppy or random. My husband and I have completely different tastes in music, and somehow Anthony blended BOTH of us perfectly. He played everything we wanted to hear, read the room flawlessly, and transitioned from music the older generations loved into the louder, crazier music as the night went on. It felt like one continuous party instead of a playlist. And THE ITALIANS WENT HARD when those classics came on!!! 🇮🇹😂 Anthony and Nicco brought such good energy that EVERYONE was involved. They had people dancing who I never expected to see move — my 90-year-old grandma was literally dancing in her chair! Even the little ones got to go up into the DJ booth with them and had the absolute best time. The live musicians were incredible too. Our violinist during cocktail hour was exceptional and created such a beautiful atmosphere. Kordell on sax was PERFECT. I was nervous about adding sax because I've heard it overpower the music at other weddings, but Kordell blended in seamlessly. Hearing him play The Beatles, Frank Sinatra, and Whitney Houston during dinner was PERFECTION. And once PJ joined on percussion, the energy went to another level. Anthony, Nicco, Kordell, and PJ together made the reception feel like an EXPERIENCE. The compliments from our guests have been OUT OF CONTROL. Mystical Entertainment truly was the HEART of our dance floor. As sad as I am that our chapter with Mystical is over, I can only hope every future wedding or party we attend has them there so Brian and I can get back on that dance floor and relive even a little bit of that same energy. Anthony, Nicco, Kordell, PJ, Breanna, our amazing violinist, and the entire Mystical team — THANK YOU. You were such a huge part of one of the best nights of our lives, and we would choose you all over again in a heartbeat. 🤍

Jared was our DJ and he was absolutely AMAZING! He was great to work with from start to finish and played such a huge part in making our wedding night so much fun. Before the wedding, Jared took the time to understand the vibe we wanted and what was important to us when it came to the music. He completely understood our vision and absolutely delivered. Our dance floor was packed all night long! He kept it high energy yet played the perfect mix of songs for everyone while playing our requests. We had so many guests compliment the music throughout the night and even after the wedding. We cannot recommend Jared enough!

iled it!!! Communication was always straight forward, effective and they were so helpful not only during the reception but from the very beginning of the day including helping set up the ceremony, making sure our officiant was all set, etc. They truly were just so much more than our DJ team. We even had a few guests ask for their information after the wedding to recommend to their friends/family because of just how amazing they were!!

r. Special mention for the saxophone player- the crowd LOVED him and he really added something special to the music. John was so in tune with the vibe I wanted to create leading up to my wedding. On the day of, he knew exactly what to do to get the crowd going and keep the energy high all night long. I was having so much fun on the dance floor that I missed (most of) dessert! People that were at my wedding are still asking me for my DJ's info. Mystical will make sure your wedding is an experience you and your guests will all remember.

ders, set list creation, and driving the atmosphere of the party. Jared, in particular, was FANTASTIC. The majority of the feedback we received from the wedding was about how amazing he was. Our guests joked about flying him out for destinations and the venue even commented that he was better than their regular weekend DJ.

We could not be happier with our experience using Mystical Entertainment Group for our wedding. I was most nervous about picking the perfect DJ for the wedding and I have absolutel...

y no regrets. Joe was incredible. The dance floor was packed all night even with the summer heat. He executed my vision perfectly and was so fun and easy to work with. We also had Mario play the saxophone, which was amazing. He added so much to the energy on the dance floor. Guests had so many positive things to say about our wedding! Don’t hesitate to go with Joe! & if you’re considering a saxophonist, I’d highly recommend that too! One additional note - We really enjoyed the photobooth scrapbook we were given at the end of the night. We have had some great laughs going through it since our wedding.

We had an incredible experience with Mystical Entertainment and DJ Jared West! From start to finish, the entire night exceeded everything we had envisioned. The music selection was...

perfect, the energy never dropped and the dance floor was packed all night long. We received so many compliments from our guests about the music, both during the reception and into the afterparty. Throughout the night, Jared checked in with us to make sure we were happy and having the best time. Before the wedding, he took the time to talk through our vision, listened to the songs that were important to us and offered great suggestions that helped create the perfect atmosphere. During the reception, he continued to check in to make sure the vibe was exactly what we wanted, and he absolutely delivered. We truly couldn't be happier with our decision to work with Jared and Mystical Entertainment. They played such a huge role in making our wedding unforgettable, and we would recommend them 100% to anyone looking for an amazing DJ!

He was energetic, engaging, fun, and completely invested in making sure every single guest had an unforgettable time. The saxophonist, drums, photo booth, and disco heads provided by Mystical were all HUGE hits and truly elevated the entire experience. The dance floor was packed all night long, and our guests are still talking about how much fun they had! My husband and I cannot recommend Mystical Entertainment enough. If you are looking for a vendor who will bring incredible energy, amazing music, and a fun, lively atmosphere to your wedding, look no further—you will not regret choosing them. Thank you, John and the entire Mystical team, for making our wedding night so unforgettable. You were truly a huge part of what made our celebration so special!

ped make our celebration unforgettable. From our very first conversation to final dance, he made us feel heard, comfortable, and excited to actually celebrate our marriage (a sentiment that’s unfortunately easy to forget amongst all the planning craziness) Our guest list was a generational and cultural mix. I was convinced that unifying people on the dance floor wouldn’t be an easy task, but I’ve never been happier to be wrong. John’s passion for his art is contagious on the dance floor, and shines through in every aspect of Mystical Entertainment’s work. His passion shines through in ME’s planning tools, above-and-beyond equipment, and every interaction that comprises the exceptional experience he creates for his clients. We grew to love not only working with John, but the entire team at Mystical Entertainment. By the end of the night, so many of our guests were complimenting the DJ and talking about how much fun they had on the dance floor. Hearing those compliments meant the world to us and was a testament to the energy, professionalism, and care John brought to our wedding. We are so grateful for everything he and the team did to make our celebration unforgettable. We can’t wait to recommend Mystical Entertainment to our friends and family for many years to come!

John is incredible at what he does and we couldn’t have been happier. 10/10 recommend mystical!!! We ❤️ you John and Anthony!

eting with John, he looked at our playlist and said “oh I know your vibe” and day of, he sure proved that!! Everyone was on the dance floor the entire time having so much fun. They read the room, quickly switched the music for the chorus of a song, and never let it be boring! I even had a Hungarian portion put together that he easily weaved into the night that it didn’t seem awkward or a hard switch into another genre. We also had a photobooth through them that had no hiccups and our scrapbook from the night was so nice to look back at. We highly recommend ME!!!

kage for us and it was perfect for our wedding day. We had sparklers, a sleek photobook and a saxophone player! They offered so many more things that would level up any party. Everyone wanted to take the saxophone player home, LOL. This add on was truly the best decision. Everyone was vibing and it added to the excitement of the night. Michael and the team understood the assignment and deserve all the positive reviews. They knew our venue, The Grand, and helped us design an order of events that made sense and was seamless. They hit every genre of music that we asked for and had the dance floor PACKED the whole night. I have already referred them to a friend for an event because that guest had such a fun night. I cannot say enough about their professionalism and genuine excitement for us. The Mystical Entertainment team is kind, helpful and communicates thoroughly. They send countdown emails and reminders to design your day so they can get a read on your vibe. We are so grateful for their professionalism and true party energy because our wedding day is a day our guests will never forget thanks to them.

inely excited to help make our big day unforgettable. The music was spot on—they read the crowd perfectly and kept the dance floor packed all night. Every transition was seamless, and they played a great mix of our must-haves along with songs that got everyone out of their seats. Their setup looked great and professional, and the sound quality was crystal clear the entire evening. We also appreciated how they worked smoothly with our other vendors and followed our timeline to a T. We’ve had so many guests tell us how much fun they had dancing—and that’s all thanks to our wonderful MC Mike and our DJ Steve! They are talented, reliable, and know how to bring the party, do yourself a favor and book them. They truly helped make our wedding night magical.

Thanks to Mystical Entertainment, our wedding truly felt like a dream come true. We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ to make our night unforgettable!

The night before the wedding the saxophonist had a family emergency and they found a replacement within hours. A few of my other friends have chosen Mystical Entertainment for their wedding and they are consistently the best entertainment option I've ever seen at a wedding. From the moment we had our first call with John we knew we made the right decision. Thank you again to the entire Mystical Entertainment team!

Stavroula K

We cannot say enough amazing things about Mystical Entertainment and John Macaluso! From the moment we first spoke with John, we knew we were in the best hands. His professionalism...

, attention to detail, and genuine passion for what he does made all the difference in making our wedding unforgettable. The music, the energy, the vibe—everything was absolutely perfect. Our guests were on the dance floor all night, and we’re still getting compliments on how incredible the party was. John knew exactly how to read the crowd and kept the momentum going from start to finish. There is no other DJ we would ever trust with such an important day. If you're planning a wedding, party, or any event where the music truly matters—do yourself a favor and hire Mystical Entertainment. If you don't, you're doing your party a disservice. It's that simple. Thank you, John and the entire team at Mystical Entertainment, for making our wedding the celebration of a lifetime!

Hiring ME for your wedding is a MUST. John and Steve absolutely killed it and kept the vibes high all night long. There was never one moment when we wished the music was different ...

/ needed a change / etc. The entire processes from day 1 with John was seamless. We clicked with John right away on our first meeting and appreciate his engagement with us during every meeting since. Everything we asked and hoped for was achieved and then some. All of our guests have been telling us how much fun they had at our wedding - that it was one of the best - and we attribute that all to John and Steve! We also used the Photo Booth and were not disappointed here either. So many options for photo strip designs and backdrops, and the pictures came out beautifully. We also got a scrapbook included in the package where guests could stick their pictures and write us a note! We can’t recommend ME enough!

Michael and Jared were a dream team! We had so many wedding guests tell us how great the DJ was and how much fun they had on the dance floor, even weeks later! They really made it ...

Thank you ALL for your hard work and dedication to what you do, and most of all, for making our wedding UNREAL!

If you're looking for a DJ who truly knows how to throw an amazing party and make your wedding unforgettable, Mystical Entertainment is the way to go.

If you want your wedding to be the most fun, unforgettable party ever, you need John from Mystical Entertainment Group! He is truly amazing. From start to finish, John brought the ...

energy, read the crowd perfectly, and kept everyone dancing all night long. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how incredible the music was. John seamlessly blended all the songs we love while keeping the vibe exactly what we wanted. Whether it was hyping up the dance floor or creating the perfect atmosphere for special moments, John nailed it. He was professional, personable, and so easy to work with throughout the entire planning process. He went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect, and we couldn’t be happier with how our day turned out. Thank you, John, for making our wedding an absolute dream and for keeping the party going strong! If you’re considering Mystical Entertainment Group, ask for John – you won’t regret it!

John, Steve, Mario and the rest of the ME team- When I say that the ME team MADE our wedding night, I am not exaggerating. John was the most amazing MC throughout the entire night...

and knew just what to say to keep the vibes high every second of the night. He poured his heart into our wedding and it showed. He made us feel like the most important people in the universe and our smiles didn't leave our faces the entire night (we are 4 days out and my face still hurts from smiling so much). Steve was our DJ and his skills and energy are unmatched. We still have people commenting that it was without a doubt the best DJ they have ever seen at a wedding. Our guests (both old and young) did NOT leave the dance floor the entire night. We gave him a general genre of songs and he knew just what to play the entire night. Mario was our saxophonist and let me tell you, YOU NEED MARIO. He added so much flare and fun to the the wedding. To sum it up, if you are getting married and want to throw the best party that all your guests will continue to talk about, YOU NEED TO HIRE MYSTICAL. Thank you ME team for making this the best day/ night of our lives. We will never forget how you made us feel throughout our day. Thank you doesn't even cut it. Xo The Redas

I went my friend’s wedding in 2022 and was simply amazed by the DJ (Steve) and MC (Anthony.) I never danced so much at a wedding! When I got engaged the following year, I knew I ha...

d to have them. My MC (Michael) and DJ (Steve), as well as the instrumentalists, Photo Booth attendees, etc… were amazing! Everyone was dancing and entertained all night. My family is Cuban and they honored our song suggestions/performances. Michael was super helpful every step of the way and also eased my nerves before the wedding. Such a wonderful group that does EVERYTHING (lighting, effects, DJ/instrumentalists, performers, videography.) Don’t think twice and go with them! When the stress of the wedding gets too much and the turn around time is near, you’ll be so happy you went with a group that does the work for you, trust me!

We used ME for our wedding on 10/12 and boyyyyyyy did it not disappoint. From our first meeting with John, we felt the decision to use ME was just right. We got paired up with Joey...

De Rosa who legit has become a friend through the process. My family ended up hiring him for some events leading up to our wedding letting us get to know him more and every single time the man DELIVERED. We were so thrilled with our choice, and Joey's incredible communication skills, and attention to detail. My husband is a picky guy when it comes to music (wanted big club vibes for an afternoon wedding) and he was beyond thrilled with how everything went. We will highly recommend ME and use them for any and all events going forward. =) Thank you all so much! - The O'Connors!

We almost didn't book a DJ for our wedding and now we can't imagine not having one!! Joe DeRosa was such a pro! He knew exactly what the crowd wanted and always had the right song ...

ready to go. But what we really appreciated was his flexibility. A week or so before the wedding, we had a professional singer in our family who could get up and sing a song or two for a slow dance, and with his great communication both before and day of, we pulled it off flawlessly! We highly recommend this group!

John and his team truly made our wedding unforgettable! The dance floor was packed all night, thanks to the fantastic mix of music. Working with John leading up to our big day was ...

smooth—especially during our finals meeting, where he ensured everything was perfectly arranged for our first dance and introduction songs. Our guests can’t stop raving about the incredible music as well as the beautiful violinist during the ceremony. John was super personable and easy to collaborate with, and we can’t recommend him enough!
