They always know how to get the party started, and I felt like my wedding was just the same! The DJ provided music for my ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. We asked for party music with a mix of soca and rock (so a little bit of everything) and the DJ delivered. The DJ was so communicative during the wedding to make sure he was playing everything we wanted. The MC was a hit - he had the best energy to get the crowd amped and dancing. All I wanted was a huge party for my wedding, and that's exactly what Body Rock DJ gave to us! In addition, we added the "dancing on a cloud" for our first dance, and it was like a literal dream! I could not have been happier with Body Rock DJ and I highly recommend them!

The Process We met with Jana a few times in person and over email and calls to decide on our package. Jana was incredibly professional, kind and honest. She didn't try to upsell anything and listened to all of our asks. She was an absolute pleasure to work with and made sure we felt confident our vision was going to be executed. About 6 weeks prior to the wedding Body Rock sent us a questionnaire to confirm our song selections and provide information about our wedding. We talked everything over with Jana and we were good to go! About 2 weeks out, we were assigned John and Nico as MC and DJ. The Event John and Nico - thank you!- they really made our night special! They listened to all of our requests and respected it. John and Nico received a lot of compliments. They had a great mix of music! They were able to play some soca and Guyanese music as well as all of the popular songs we know and love! We danced the night away! Overall Body Rock was excellent. I appreciated that the focused on making our wedding as stress free as possible. They listened to us and gave us exactly what we asked for. I want to throw another party just to work with them again - LOL!

We recently attended my little cousin's sweet sixteen party here. And I must say, I really like…read morethe facilities at Charisma. Yes, it's a bit odd that the ballroom banquet is on the lower level and that the first thing you see when you come inside is a set of stairs leading downstairs. Once you get past this, you'll see that the venue is spacious, clean, and laid out nicely. You can opt for them to have your name in lights reflected on the dance floor, there's a smoke machine, bubble machine and various light options that you can request for the event. There's also a couple of screens that can run videos or photos on a loop during the event. The bar area is separate from the main ballroom which was great considering this was a sweet sixteen party. The DJ was wonderful. He provided a good selection of songs that got the guests dancing the whole time. The food was pretty good. It was served buffet style and there were plenty for all the guests. I wished they kept the food out all night instead of quickly putting it away after an hour. We had a few guests that arrived very late and came after the food was already packed away. The wait staff was nice enough to make up a plate for them when we asked. The pricing structure for the event was a bit confusing. Make sure to do your research and ask questions. Otherwise, you might get sticker shock from all the extra add-on options (linens, nicer chairs, balloon decorations, champagne toast, etc.) that can quickly inflate the overall price. We all had a great time at the party. Yes, there were some minor glitches and the event could have run smoother, but the main thing is that the guests had a good time and my little cousin thought the night was a success.

Throughout the whole communication process Eddie was always available and responsive. They came very early on the wedding day to complete their setup to make sure all of their equipment was working okay. I knew from conversations with Eddie that he has handled many large events and weddings before so it was a great feeling having zero concerns on our wedding day. The energy they brought to the reception hall was unreal and I can't believe they know how to perform such a great amount of songs. It's been a few months now but our guests still can't stop talking about their performance and how we had the best music of any wedding they have ever been to. NYNY Dueling Pianos truly made our wedding memorable not only for us, but for our guests. Thank you Eddie and team!!

The worst venue EVER!!! Besides the fact that they have no parking whatsoever, and a valet parking…read morecompany that takes your car someplace - The wedding ceremony was held outside around the corner. There wasn't enough seating for everyone so only family could sit. They had no way to get to this area from the inside without going outside. STUPID! Now to the venue. The place itself is very pretty, but totally impractical. There is marble everywhere, stairs too. Problem? Stairs have cracks in them and I almost fell down the stairs because my heel got stuck in a crack on the steps. There's what looks like a bucket open "elevator" that was out of order. How the f**k do you have a venue that holds 250 people with no working elevator. Plus everything was on different floors. There were elderly people and some with canes, that had to go up and down the stairs. Ridiculous!! Can you spell FIRE HAZARD? The "cocktail hour" - if you could call it that - was practically non-existent. There was no place to sit and there was 2 small trays of food - one with fruit and the other with rolled up salami on a mozzarella "stick" or wrapped around a sesame bread stick. Looked like something you'd find in a supermarket. All small amounts. Maybe there were 6 little bistro tables with 2-3 chairs at each table. Certainly not enough room for all 250 people who were in attendance at this wedding. The bar was a joke as well. Couldn't get a glass of water it was so packed in the lobby area. Do you see a way to get out of this venue should there be a fire? I didn't. From the lobby floor area you could look down on the tables where everyone will be sitting for dinner. There were salad plates at each place setting that was sitting out for at least 2 hours before we would be going down for dinner. Seriously?? Soggy and small. Yuck. There was just 1 bartender in the main dinner area. The bartender couldn't even get the drinks right! Now the waiters come around to take your order off of the menus on the table that the bride and groom chose. We were hopeful that all the food would be good. First course was Pasta alla Vodka. Trust me... this was NOT Pasta alla Vodka. There were these dark bitter herbs (tasted like Tarragon!) all over the pasta that was gross. Plus the pasta was so over cooked it was mushy and falling apart. Main course didn't fair much better. I got the salmon which sounded yummy from the menu. It was drowned in too much sauce and still managed to be dry. Plus the portion sizes were a joke. My husband got the steak which was also small and overdone. Others got the Chicken Marsala which sounded like it would be good. It was not. The music. The bass was so loud that you couldn't even decipher the song, and the music bounced off all of the marble ceilings, walls, and floors! You couldn't even hear yourself think it was so loud, let alone trying to talk to someone right next to you at your table. After hearing later that this sweet couple paid $30,000 for this atrocity makes me so mad for them. This is by far the WORST wedding venue I've ever attended. H O R R I B L E !!
