I was in charge of finding a DJ for a family wedding. Matt was the DJ at my wedding so I called Occasions Disc Jockeys. I am so glad I did. They provided excellent service, making ...
the wedding truly special. Matt’s professionalism, attention to detail and ability to accommodate last-minute changes created a smooth and memorable event. He made sure to play our special requests and offered suggestions that we hadn’t thought of that made the event even better. Matt kept the dance floor lively, with guests of all ages dancing throughout the reception. He was so prepared that it calmed any pre-wedding nerves. Thank you for making our event incredible!

ghout the night. It added such a fun, personal touch to our reception, and we loved that everyone could let loose, be silly, and capture some fun moments together. We’re so glad we decided to include it in our wedding, and we really appreciate being able to look back on all the fun memories from our special day. Thank you for being part of our celebration and helping make our wedding even more memorable, and thank you to the attendant, Logan, who made sure everything ran smoothly!

Interactions with Occasions Disc Jockeys were extremely formal and impersonal. I felt that they had their set ways of doing things and were not open to allowing us to plan the rece...
ption how we wanted. Additionally, their forms to fill out prior to the wedding are lengthy. Despite us providing some suggested songs, the DJ did not respond to the crowd very well, little dancing occurred on our wedding night. However, they were very professional, had all of their information correct, and provided mics the day of the wedding.
Matt is one of the greatest DJ’s to work with. From start to finish he exceeds expectations. You won’t be disappointed booking Occasions!

xact music we wanted for our wedding ceremony and reception. Matt called us before the wedding day to review everything as well. He listened to each and every request, and kept the music going throughout the night! Our guests had a blast on the dance floor under the party lights he provided. Something else we loved about Occasions was the “guest advice cards” that he put on every table. We loved reading them, and they gave guests something to do while waiting for dinner.

tive with us throughout the entire event, keeping us updated on the timeline, song choices, requests, and extra add-ons requested by guests. There ceremony was flawless, without any sound or mic issues. The music was great, transitions were barely noticeable, and everyone was up and dancing the entire night. (which was exactly what we wanted). Even prior to our big day 2.0 (COVID-delayed reception), Matt checked in with us a few times via email and called us the week of to go through all of our requests, name pronunciations for the intros, and any changes we had. Definitely recommend!

were amazing. No fumbling with microphones and wires while exchanging vows, and all our guests could hear us perfectly! He set up in multiple locations for us and emceed throughout the reception to move things along. He was very personable and entertaining but didn’t try to take over the evening like some DJs do. We loved reading through the free advice cards on our drive to our honeymoon. I’m so glad we opted to get those! As soon as you book, you get access to the online portal and forms to fill out to work on as details are figured out. While they are definitely overwhelming at first, they are super helpful as planning progresses.
You did an amazing job! the guests had so much fun on the dance floor all night and that's thanks to you! The music was just what we asked for with smooth transitions and variety. ...
Everything seemed to go so smoothly, and you did just the right amount of being present but not overly so. You were organized and thorough, would highly recommend!

leading up to the wedding to ensure that he knew what the flow of the wedding, dinner, and reception would go so he could tailor our playlist. The day of the wedding we had a slight change to the ceremony setup due to weather and he quickly adapted and had everything ready to go well before the start. He kept the flow of the reception going and made sure to keep the dance floor busy playing all the songs we wanted to hear. We would highly recommend his service.

remony and reception. We even opted for a scheduled phone call to go over last minute details. I cannot say enough great things about Matthew. To start you get so much more than just a DJ. This company clearly knows the business and it shows!! We were offered at no added charge their corn hole game and these advice cards for our guests to fill out. We did not use the corn hole (we had our own), but we did use the advice cards. I am so glad we did too because the answers we got were priceless. We did use Matthew for our ceremony. Everything went perfectly. During introductions due to a miscommunication (my fault) we had no one to say a blessing before dinner. Matthew came to the rescue. Thanks to him the issue was fixed and no one had any idea. He was also phenomenal at the reception!! He knows how to read the crowd. People were dancing and having a great time. We would hire him again in a heartbeat!!

the different parts of the night and everything really went perfectly. He has an extensive set of forms on his website you can fill out to customize your night quite a bit. He took a few of our oddball requests and nailed it! Highly recommended.
Very professional DJ. He helped the reception flow well, prompting everyone to move the activities along without distracting from the bride and groom.
