Wedding was AMAZING!! Tommy and his company are very professional and provide the complete package. Lighting and video screens set the mood. Tommy knows how to keep the party going and had our guests dancing all night! He also provided "zap shots" that were displayed on plasma screens so our guest could see the party as it was happening. Had a bunch of music videos that played as well. We also decided to use the videographer, John, through his company. He was excellent and captured the whole day from start to finish. Even got interviews with our guest at the tables. It was exciting to see our wedding playout through so many different angles and outlets. Thank you for making our wedding so special and memorable. Wonderful Job!! read more

We celebrated my daughter's Sweet 16 Bday at Stewart Manor Country Club and had Needle in the Groove as our DJ along with the photo booth and pictures on video screen Tommy did everything that my daughter wanted there was never the word no. Tommy was in constant communication with us especially my daughter. Tommy had everyone on the dance floor..the kids and us "old people" as my daughter's friends called us. They couldn't believe old people were having as much fun as them if not more. The music was terrific and Tommy made sure Kaylee was the center of attention all night. Needle in the Grooves' crew were professional and just wonderful. Highly recommend Tommy. He is a great guy with a big personality. We loved him! Loretta read more

What can I say about Needle in the Groove and DJ Tommy Cerino? He is, by far, one of the best DJs on Long Island. I've been to a lot of parties and danced to a lot of music but the first time I heard Tommy and Needle in the Groove, I knew that I wanted to hire him for all my events. Most recently, he DJ'd my fiancé's retirement party. People are still talking about what a great time they had. He really knows how to get the party going and keep it moving all night long (literally, till the very end). I would highly recommend him to anyone considering hiring a DJ for their next event. You won't be disappointed!! Thanks again to Tommy and Needle in the Groove for making my party a memorable one! You're the best!! read more

Dear Tom and the Needle In The Groove Team, Thank you so much for playing at our wedding! All of our guests had such a phenomenal time and they are still talking about it today. I remember spending so much time on the dance floor because the music was so great.

They really enjoyed that small step back into time. Tom, you and the Needle In The Groove Team did an awesome job at providing us with memories that will truly last a lifetime. Sincerely, Arthur and Shannon Woodson read more

I recently went to a wedding where Tommy & his crew from Needle in the Groove were DJ'ing, and really brought the party to life. They engaged the guests in a way that not all DJs are able to do-- making everyone (guests of all ages) feel comfortable and in on the fun. They played awesome music all night, and took it up a notch with an accompanying drummer -- a super cool hyrbid of DJ & live music (I had never seen that before!) Definitely would recommend Needle in the Groove for any event, large or small as they really know how to provide top notch entertainment. read more

This summer was my second event I employed Needle in Groove for my charity event. Working with Tommy, the proprietor, was a pleasure and super easy.

Setup and breakdown was seamless and didn't have to worry about any issues with their team as I was juggling other things. Will absolutely be using this team again! read more
