Ryan was prepared, professional, energetic, fun, and kept the good vibes going all night. We were pretty particular about the music we requested, and he honored our requests, while putting his own spin on the evening. He has a knack for knowing the right song to transition into at the right time. All of his song additions were well received, his segues were super smooth, and our friends can't stop raving about how much fun they had on the dance floor. Thank you, Style Matters and Ryan, for your passion and execution in making this the best night of our lives!

WARNING: Style Matters Failed to Deliver My experience with…read moreStyle Matters was deeply disappointing and fell far short of their promises. The Promise vs. Reality After an extensive phone consultation with Spencer and completing a detailed questionnaire, I clearly communicated our vision for our wedding DJ. Spencer confidently assured me he had the perfect match for our event. Unfortunately, what we received was the complete opposite of what we requested. What we asked for: A highly skilled, charismatic DJ with creative mixing abilities and exceptional turntablist skills who could energize our celebration. What we got: A DJ (Margot/Diskokitty) who delivered a lackluster performance with below-average technical skills and zero enthusiasm as an MC. The Impact on Our Wedding Day The DJ's performance was so noticeably poor that multiple guests approached us asking, "What's wrong with the DJ? It's like she doesn't even want to be here." This was embarrassing and became a distraction on what should have been our perfect day. Honestly, I could have achieved the same result by pressing play on a Spotify playlist--and saved thousands of dollars in the process. Poor Communication and Planning Beyond the disappointing performance, Spencer's communication throughout the planning process was untimely and disorganized, creating unnecessary stress during an already demanding time. Broken Promises Style Matters markets themselves with bold claims: "25 of the most talented DJs this city has ever seen." -- They are not. "We will create a unique and incredibly enjoyable experience" -- They did not. "There's simply too much (music) out there to waste people's time on the stuff they've heard a million times before" -- We received exactly that: a generic, cookie-cutter wedding DJ set with zero creativity. Final Thoughts While we managed to salvage our celebration and create beautiful memories with our loved ones, the DJ performance was undeniably one of the lowest points of our special day. Save yourself the disappointment and look elsewhere for your wedding entertainment.

Used these guys for our wedding. Great night and music was on point. Highly recommend.read more

"Oh! This girl is a real DJ!" Echoed again and again on the dance floor by our most discerning…read more(picky?) music aficionado guests, DJ Clare was a GODSEND to our special night's dance floor. A gem of a person to work with from the start, she takes the job seriously - crafting the night to fit our sensibilities (as a couple and knowing who our guests would be) perfectly, but also leaving room to feel the vibe in the room and adjust up or down accordingly. (Side bar: when my partner's mother demanded we release YMCA from the no-play list and do it, Clare knew exactly how to get the immediately evacuated dancefloor bumping again). She has fun, adds excitement with her announcements and personality and is willing to think outside the box to make your event feel like a true party. We were blown away by the final playlist. All DJs are not created equal! Groove is in the Heart (and DJ Clare specifically) are A+++.

We had an OK experience with Groove is in the Heart DJs for our wedding. The initial communication…read morewith our DJ was good. We made our own dance floor playlist and were expecting the DJ to play it all after they said it was great. But, the day of the wedding, the DJ told my husband they were having Wi-Fi issues and couldn't access the playlist. He didn't know why the songs on the playlist weren't downloaded by the DJ before the wedding in case there were Wi-Fi issues. Guests also requested songs multiple times and were told by the DJ that they couldn't be played due to the Wi-Fi issues. Then when I asked why our playlist wasn't played, I was told "You didn't say the playlist was a must play". I wish we were told by the DJ that we needed to say that the entire playlist was "must play" during the planning phase.The DJ also didn't read the room and hype up our guests to get on the dance floor until the last song, so it felt a little dead throughout the wedding. The guests that danced were OK with the playlist, thankfully, but the DJ experience was pretty disappointing overall. If we knew the DJ experience was going to be sub-par, we probably wouldn't have paid our venue's additional audio tie-in fee.

I followed up and was told I would receive the proposal by the end of the day, but I never heard back. I reached out multiple times over the following two weeks to everyone I had been in contact with and did not receive a single response. This lack of communication was extremely disappointing and felt unprofessional for a service costing $5,000+.

From our very first conversation, leading up to the big day, Harsh incredibly attentive to what we envisioned. On our wedding day, music was absolutely perfect -- every moment felt thoughtfully curated, from cocktails to the reception. Harsh read the room effortlessly, transitioned between songs seamlessly, and kept the energy exactly where it needed to be all night. Our dance floor was packed from the first song to the last, and multiple guests told us it was one of the most fun weddings they'd ever been to. On top of his talent, Harsh is simply a joy to work with. Kind, organized, flexible, and totally in tune with what mattered to us. We truly felt taken care of. If you're looking for a DJ who will elevate your event, keep your guests talking for weeks, and bring genuine heart to your wedding day, hire DJ Harsh. We're so grateful -- our celebration wouldn't have been the same without him.

Where to begin?! Working with Harsh was an absolute…read morepleasure! My new husband and I are actually trying to figure out when we may need a DJ again! Neither of us could imagine why anyone would choose a large entertainment company, where you don't know who you'll get, over this very personable and knowledgeable man. Although we've never been through the process of finding and working with a wedding DJ, what a difference it made to have someone so supportive and professional. We met Harsh at a tasting event put on by our wedding caterer at our venue. We had an instant connection, knowing Harsh could very well be our DJ. After discussing details (availability, price, etc.) we knew Harsh was the guy for the job! Yes, we researched other DJs, it's smart to shop around. But for the same price as a DJ from a large company where you never know you you're going to get, Harsh was the obvious choice. Our first meeting was at a coffee shop as Harsh made it a point to get to know us (i.e., likes, dislikes, wedding details, theme, etc.). Future communications were via email or text. We also invited him to our new home a few weeks before the wedding to go through the final details. Harsh even made sure our fur baby, Saki, was attended to as she would be our flower girl. Although I'm very organized (Ok, I'm as 'Type A' as it gets...), I'm confident in saying our experience with Harsh would have been as flawless and perfect even if I was a hot mess express. He left no detail unmet, he truly cared not only about our big day, but about us, and I feel like we walked away with a new friend. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making sure our wedding day was unforgettable and a blast!

JPP was one of the easiest vendors to work with, reliable, and professional. During the months leading up to the wedding we worked on our playlists using Spotify. We had a playlist for pre-ceremony, ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing. We also selected special songs (some with specific start times) for things like newlywed introductions and cake cutting. We initially emailed with Jeff, who always responded promptly. A couple weeks before the wedding, we got the email from JPP to fill in their document with our song details and from then on we communicated with Miguel over phone and text. We texted Miguel with last minute changes, which he confirmed promptly and executed perfectly on the wedding day. The speaker and mic set ups (indoor and outdoor) provided wonderful sound quality and never was there a bad squeak.
