I had a great Christmas shopping experience here last month. My son was looking for a twelve-string…read moreguitar (his six-string was a Christmas gift I bought at Crescendo in 2020). Luckily, Jason had one that had just come in on consignment. He and Dale took all the time I needed to demonstrate what an improvement in the sound the twelve-string could make (I am not a musician), and answered all of my questions. Jason restrung it and made sure it was in perfect shape for a gift within my budget, and it was the favorite Christmas present, once again! This is a professional shop and the staff are knowledgeable, patient and good at explaining pros and cons of instrument options. Exceptional personalized service. This is my go-to source for information and instrument purchases (over the years we have bought and serviced violins, trumpets and guitars here, plus many music lessons) and they are a pleasure to do business with, Thank you Jason and Dale!

From the moment I arrived at the venue and heard the music playing all my anxiety went away as Jerry and his team walked me through the day. The kids had a great time, and I still get compliments on the entertainment. My guests all asked me how I found him and to be honest it was all based on his reviews, I had never seen him in person. The best review was my daughter who said that was the best Bat Mitzvah she has ever been to, and I credit Jerry with making that happen!

I would strongly recommend MD Music & Entertainment. My wife and I were fortunate to have DJ Brian…read moreas the DJ for our wedding in the Catskills in late October, and we could not have been happier with the experience. From Day One, we found Matty and the MD team to be responsive, professional and easy to work with, especially as we navigated a COVID postponement. The team kept in touch with us during our long planning period, and everyone was very well organized in the leadup to the wedding day. On that day, DJ Brian arrived early and checked in with us frequently to be sure everything was to our liking. He curated a fantastic playlist and was a huge hit for his song selections during our dinner and reception. Brian was friendly, professional and clearly took the time to get a sense of our personalities and preferences. (He even incorporated a musical reference I made during our vows into our reception playlist, which was such a nice touch.) He also served as a great emcee during our toasts/speeches, was great about making announcements throughout the evening, and overall kept things fun and running smoothly. I would highly encourage you to consider DJ Brian and the whole MD Music & Entertainment team!

Look no farther. Use Matty as your DJ. Do it, do it now!! :) There were so many things about Matty…read morethat made him excellent. Really, I cannot give a high enough endorsement. Shea D and I found Matty through a family friend. We looked him up online and found that he had been a "Knot Pick" for 2014 and 2015. Until then we had been underwhelmed with the potential DJ choices for our wedding. Knowing that our family loves music and dancing, we were starting to get nervous! And as we all know, a DJ can make or break a good wedding reception! So we found Matty's website (which is linked in the Yelp description) and filled out a contact form. It involves the normal info - name, contact number, etc - but then also asked us to list at least 5 favorite songs or artists. I think that request was the first indication that Matty was a different kind of DJ; one entirely focused on ensuring that the music of your day reflects your own tastes and personalities. We submitted our contact form at about 9:30PM on a Sunday. I figured that we wouldn't get an email back for about a day or so. Wasn't I surprised when 15 minutes later, Matty called me himself and began to excitedly and enthusiastically discuss our wedding details! He was friendly, professional, and clearly knowledgable. He told us he would send us a few sample mixes for us to review over the next week before booking. When Shea D and I reviewed the samples with which Matty had provided us, we kept looking at each other saying "I like that song! Oh wait! I like that one too! And that one!" We booked Matty shortly thereafter for both our ceremony and reception. Matty was incredibly professional and friendly throughout our experience with him. I don't think it ever took him more than a few hours to respond to an email. He provided us with a detailed questionnaire, including approximately 6 pages of songs from each decade so that he could get a sense of our music preferences. He asked us which music was "must play" and which was "do not play." We knew that our crowd would love the typical "do not plays" like the Electric Slide, Celebration, and We Are Family, so we made sure to ask for those. We had very few "do not plays" - but they never came up on the day! About 2-3 weeks before the wedding, Matty met us at the venue to see the space and help us finalize a timeline. We did not have a "wedding planner" and so it was incredibly helpful to have a professional give us feedback on our schedule and provide advice regarding the flow of events. We left the meeting with a timeline for the day and a better understanding of how to use the venue. He told us where there were holes in the music that we had selected (for example, we had a first dance song, but didn't know that we needed a cake-cutting song). He asked about our theme, looked at our outfits and those of our wedding party, discussed our centerpieces, cake, and personal music preferences, and generally tried to get a feel for the entire event. I think his attention to detail is what ultimately made the music so seamless on the day. He took the time to get to know us and what we had envisioned for our wedding. As we picked songs over the intervening weeks for the "holes" that we had, he provided feedback and suggestions that improved the overall quality of the music. He also helped us to find an "upbeat" version of a traditionally slower tempo song that my parents had wanted to dance to for their special dance. On the day, he arrived early to set up and began the music exactly on time. The prelude music for the ceremony was exactly what we had envisioned. He helped our officiant to begin on time and coordinated the music perfectly. He provided us with microphones to use so that during the vows everyone could hear us (which was especially helpful to me since I had lost my voice). He announced events over the loudspeakers efficiently and effectively - helping the transitions from one segment to the next without "bogarting the mic." He took requests, which made all of our guests happy, and played one excellent song after another throughout the entire reception. He also came to find us before he announced things like the cake cutting or important dances, so that we weren't caught in conversations and were ready to go. He also warned us when there were only 5 songs left so that we got to dance the last few dances together. We got so many compliments on the music - it was so personal that many of our guests thought that WE had selected the entire playlist, when in fact we had only picked about 5-6 songs total and Matty did the rest! All in all, Matty helped to make our wedding day a seamless event that exceeded our (and our guests') expectations! We had a stellar day and a wonderful party. Thank you thank you thank you!!

Variety had a beautiful all-white DJ set up and we were also able to hired our live musicians through them, which was so helpful. (Saxophone during cocktail hour was PERFECTION). MC Ray and DJ Tom made the day completely effortless for myself and my husband. They played everything we wanted (BIG SHOUTOUT to playing Italian music throughout our Italian dinner - our favorite part of the night), seamlessly blended genres, and had people of all ages on the dance floor all night. Guests texted us the next day saying how they "haven't danced that much in years", "every song was a banger", and "the music was SO good". Thank you, Variety for an unforgettable night!

The owner of the…read morebusiness, Bill Boettcher, told me less than 48 hours before my event that he would be sending a substitute when all along I was told it would be he at my event. All during the time before my event he was extremely difficult to reach but I let it go because my primary music was to be through the live band, who was fantastic. But there were reasons I also wanted a DJ and my reasons turned out to be valid. The DJ Bill ultimately sent was ok. the music was fine and really there was nothing in particular I needed to have the DJ do or to discuss with him so no complaints. But the motivator, as sweet as could be, did not seem to know her job. I had to tell her when to give out items and if I hadn't told her we would still be waiting. Only during the last hour did she do any kind of interaction with the kids. There were no games as I had been told there would be and items that were specifically ordered for my event, I never saw. All of this didn't leave me thrilled, but the worst was that I wrote to Bill after the event and let him know I just wanted to talk to him. I wasn't going to make too big a deal of it but I thought maybe the motivator was new and simply needed some guidance. I didn't hear back for a week and when I wrote again, I received a rather rude response admonishing me for not being more patient. He didn't like some of what I wrote in my second e-mail (which did indicate I was upset he hadn't responded yet)and indicated that was the only reason he was responding despite being so busy. Had he only written originally and asked me to wait until things quieted down I wouldn't be writing this. But he stated right out that he only responded to me because something upset him. Yet he didn't feel it important enough to answer me when I was upset, didn't feel it important enough to make sure things had gone well, and overall didn't think it important enough to provide good customer service. I don't know if things would have been better with a different motivator and if the owner had done my event, as originally planned. But he (Bill, the owner) is extremely difficult to reach when things are going well, and pretty much not at all unless he feels it is important. I would not use this company again.
