He was the least stressful part about wedding planning, and made the day go smoothly as we followed his lead and timeline. He was also very communicative and answered any questions I had prior to the wedding. We also had some random Polish songs on our must play list (husband is Polish) and he accommodated that as well. I highly recommend Tim. Thanks again for everything Tim!

Tony was an absolute dream to work with from the minute I inquired about pricing. He responded…read morealmost immediately with package prices, and answer any odd questions I had at the start of wedding planning. The booking process was simple and all done via computer. Once we made our first deposit, Tony sent us login info for our online client data base, which we were able to make our "must play, maybe play, and absolutely do not play" playlists. I LOVED that we were able to organize the music in this way, as I was much more at ease for what the evening would look like. For the entire year of our engagement, Tony responded to all emails within an instant. For my father-daughter dance, I had arranged it with my dad that he was to choose a song, and it would be a surprise to me up until the minute it played at our reception. Tony and my dad corresponded back and forth without me knowing, and this was pulled off without any issues! The day of our reception, which was the first time I was even meeting Tony, he put me at immediate ease. He came up to my fiance and I, introduced himself, and quickly ran through how the evening would go. I was worried about the amount of talking via DJ would be taking place (I HATE going to weddings and the DJ acts more like an emcee the entire night, rather than a DJ) but Tony was PERFECT. He checked in with us throughout the night and everything went as planned. Another thing I loved about this company was the way in which songs transitioned into each other. There was not a second where one song would end and silence took place. Each song went straight into the next. Our dance floor was full ALL NIGHT LONG! We also used Extreme Sounds for our reception uplighting. I had been emailing with Tony up until days before our wedding trying to nail down the color I was going for. I sent Tony two pictures of what I was going for, he said he would make it happen, and it was the exact amber color I was envisioning!

Tony is EXTREMELY dishonest and has horrible communication. For example, Tony said he is on the…read morevendor list for Trump Tower, Signature 95th, and Lasalle library. I checked all of their websites and/or called for references, and they each never heard of Tony or his company. Tony will also ignore you for days/weeks, even after multiple messages. I highly recommend avoiding this company that is deceptive, lies, and does not respond. RE: Business Owner's Reply- I do not know how you are surprised after ignoring me multiple times when I was ready to move forward with reviewing a contract. You ignored me over 2 weeks and we had a professional relationship. You also gave me 3 Wedding Venues that you said you are "preferred vendor" for, without me asking. I checked all 3 of them and you clearly lied to me. Also, Tony, you response to my review says "some of our reviews tells you that our customers were referred by their venues". This is factually incorrect of your Yelp reviews. I checked all 80 of them. None do. Another lie here.

Barry kept the whole night flowing perfectly, and gave us suggestions along the way which I really appreciated. He was in contact with us the whole night, and refused to play songs on my "do not play" list! When I think back, there is not one bad thing I have to say about this company, they were perfect! People were dancing all night and having a blast! If you are reading this and need a DJ, BOOK THESE PEOPLE! Also, you absolutely HAVE to book the photobooth, it was WELL worth it. Our guests just loved it, in fact they're still raving about it and we now have so many awesome memories with the copies they gave us! Love you Barry!

Phil kept the party going all night long. Couldn't have asked for a better DJ!

Honestly have never had such a bad taste in my mouth so quickly from a business.. event coordinator…read moreKenna was anything but helpful. Called her in the morning to inquire about dj services and it seemed like she couldn't get me off the phone quick enough. Instead of making a new connection with a potential client she made it clear that "it's easier for me if I just email you a brochure"... not a great start for a new bride looking for services. After emailing back and forth we made an appointment to speak over the phone and low and behold.. was still given the same bad attitude. Very short and vague answers, no attempt to share excitement or make me feel comfortable/that she wanted to be speaking with me. If you're the front line of a business I highly recommend making an effort to get to know your clients or just don't act like the people who want to spend thousands of dollars on your services are a bother. Will be going somewhere else.

A Great Wedding Band…read more Wedding Date 2.1.25 As Father of the Bride, I thought that DSR Music was the best and that the music helps make the wedding reception a great and memorable one. The band members and vocalists are so talented and energetic in all genres of music making each song fun to dance to. The dance floor was packed all night and we received complements for weeks about the quality of the band and how much fun the wedding was. David Rothstein does a great job as the MC for the night but the benefits of using DSR start long before the wedding day. David takes the time to get to know the wedding couple and their family, understand what is important to them at the wedding, learn the type of music they are interested in hearing and provides special touches for the bride and groom. I think so highly of DSR Music that I used them for my oldest daughter's wedding in 2016 and my niece used them as well.

His rates are extrrmely reasonable and you are not lacking any quality whatsoever. If anything you get more than your money's worth because Martin is a people person, not a cut-throat business owner just trying to make a buck.
