However, he was already booked when we asked him and he assured us that Ron was equally as amazing and he did not disappoint! We talked to Ron over email and met up with him before the wedding to discuss music options. He had GREAT suggestions and was open to working with us even when my husband and I changed our first dance song multiple times (sorry Ron!). The website to set everything up was very easy and nice to be able to pick exactly what songs we wanted for different parts of the night so Ron could get a feel for what type of music we were looking for. The music and dancefloor started early on and did not stop! I have always loved Danny and he is even doing another cousin's wedding next year BUT Ron was amazing and I am so glad we had him as our DJ to make our night and dancefloor the best party I've ever been too...but I might be a little biased ;-)

I cannot say enough about Dan McCarthy and DM Productions! Our wedding was on 7/11/14 at Willowdale…read moreEstate in Topsfield. Dan provided the music for both our ceremony and reception, and everything was absolutely perfect. But the perfection began much earlier than the night of our wedding. Throughout the entire process of our wedding planning, Dan was available to meet with us as many times as we wanted and was always available via phone or email. Not only did Dan walk us through every step of the process, but he patiently helped us choose the perfect songs for all parts of our entire night by suggesting different songs/themes based on our preferences and personalities. The last thing I want to comment on is that Dan provided uplighting free of charge for us. When he came to Willowdale, he noticed that it might be a bit better if some uplighting was added. Dan took the initiative to add this for us, and it made the entire reception that much better. Dan was professional and cooperative with song requests, and made sure to keep the flow of the reception going. I could go on and on about Dan's professionalism and genuine care in order to make our wedding the best night of our lives. But all I will say is that even today, almost 5 months after our wedding, our guests are still raving about the music and the ambiance of the wedding. Without Dan, our wedding would not have been nearly as extravagant. Honestly, you don't have to look anywhere else for a wedding DJ. Dan is super personable and is a perfectionist, making sure that all details are taken care of. I cannot say enough about Dan McCarthy and his DJ company. They have truly perfected all aspects!!!!

He went above and beyond our expectations. Recessional songs had smooth transitions and everything sounded great. When we needed 2 last minute lapel mics, he found them for us. He checked in on us throughout the night. When I thought our first dance song was going a little too long, I gave him a thumbs up and he knew to fade it out. His uplighting was BEAUTIFUL!! If you have the budget, definitely get it. It just really created a wedding atmosphere. His photobooth was great, our guests' favorite part. We had 2 different cultures and types of people at our wedding and every single person was on the dance floor. He brought our families together through music and dancing and I'm so so happy. BEST DJ EVER!!!

ROB PETERS ROCKS! (literally)! Suffice to say, they will do all my events from this point on until…read moreone of us croaks first... Why? When selecting a DJ/entertainment for our family and friends festivity/elopement bash, I interviewed a SIGNIFICANT number of vendors. I found most of them to be WAY over priced and "sleezy"/ snake oil sales people. Rob Peters fit the "down to earth, love people/children, have a heart accommodating and reasonable" bill I was looking for. The chemistry was instant and I was hooked. My guests are still sending me emails raving about the food, cake AND the DJ!! (we may even consider flying him to Florida for a March event if we can get him cheap tickets!!!). The entire experience with Rob is stress free, interactive and he is very open minded. Above all, you will find them to be EXTREMELY professional, sophisticated without the "stuck up" / prissy attitude of many in the entertainment industry... They literally were the life of my party and had a great selection of latino music to make sure all my latinos had enough beat for their bones!

Rob stuck with us periodically checking in throughout and honored what we agreed to all that time ago. Any time we spoke, it was as if we've known him forever and he doesn't forget things spoken about. He promised us the best wedding experience and he came through. He had the dance floor moving and guided us smoothly through the evening. If you want a lively, energetic, and engaging DJ, Rob Peters is your man. He reads your crowd and makes it happen! We never second-guessed our choice after sitting with him at our initial meeting. I am so grateful for him and his staff. PS... His staff are saints for putting up with my toddler niece who did nothing but jump into everyone's photos in the amazing photo booth. ( Which the album was an amazing touch!)

Both of them were incredibly responsive and catered to all of our needs while making the right choices for the crowd. We had lots of specific music requests and DJ Scott met with us off-hours in order to make sure everything was right. We also ended up ordering a Photobooth from them which was a hit! The photobooth guy, Alex, was amazing. They created a guest book with all of the strips and made sure the close family and wedding party were in the front and it remained open all night! So many times they close for dinner, etc and that was not that case. I could not be happier with this DJ and vendor, I would recommend them a million times over! Thank you DJ Scott!

The band was FANTASTIC, their playlist is amazing (like 300 songs - we found tons to request), they got the mood just right with quieter songs for the social hour and - after dinner - transitioned our party to a raucous, joyous, pull-out-all-the-stops dance celebration. The 3-piece horn section was amazing, the 2 singers were fantastic, and they kept the place rocking until the very last song. Our kids took over 1/2 the dance floor while the "old folks" commandeered the other half and it stayed packed all night, song-after-song. There was never that moment where everyone loses steam and sits down. As the night went on, even the single guys felt compelled to come out and join the fun. Months later, whenever the subject of our party comes up, we STILL get complements about the band. I can say in all honestly that they MADE the event!

I genuinely wanted to write a glowing review for BEL and the work they did for our wedding at The…read moreOlio this past April. Unfortunately, I can't ignore how disappointed I was with their overall execution and communication. Lighting was one of the few elements of our wedding my husband truly cared about--and entrusted to BEL. We contracted them to provide three key lighting features: a large custom GOBO sign, pin lights for 12 tables to highlight our floral centerpieces, and a disco ball to enhance the ambiance. To be fair, the disco ball was executed beautifully. It created the exact mood we were hoping for and truly added to the atmosphere of the evening. That, however, is where the praise ends. The pin lighting was a major letdown. Despite several conversations with Jason, Fritz, and the BEL team about our expectations--particularly that the pin lights should spotlight our centerpieces for optimal visual impact in person, in photos, and in video--the results fell drastically short. The lighting was virtually invisible throughout the event. It failed to appear in our professional photos and videos, and not a single guest I spoke to recalled even noticing it. I specifically chose this lighting to elevate the look of the tables I had spent a great deal of time and money curating. That effort was completely lost. I reached out post-wedding to get clarity, and instead of accountability, I was met with blame. Their response was that I didn't book a lighting tech with my package. But isn't that the reason we hire professionals--to ensure our vision is executed properly? At no point during the planning process did they offer meaningful guidance or advise me on the limitations or considerations of pin lighting. Instead, it felt like I was being upsold, rather than truly supported. A simple conversation about whether pin lighting would achieve the look I wanted could have saved me nearly $1,000 and a lot of disappointment. As for the custom GOBO, it was initially projected in a way that was visually unappealing--cropped and too small. Thankfully, we caught this during a private venue walkthrough and were able to correct it ourselves before guests arrived. That should not have been our responsibility. To any future couples considering BEL: be extremely specific. Ask every question imaginable. Do not assume that you're hiring a team who will take ownership of helping bring your vision to life. In our case, what we received felt incomplete and careless--all because we declined to hire a lighting technician for the day. We expected a professional service. Instead, we received bare-minimum effort.

We contracted Boston Event Lighting for our association's annual meeting and workshops, exactly…read morebecause of the great ratings and reviews. I am the CEO of a non-profit organization with an international membership, and we discussed our meeting needs (part in-person and part virtual) with this company in advance. They promised a flawless execution and, based on the reviews we were confident that they would deliver. As you guess from my rating, they certainly did not deliver. They messed up presenters' presentations where slides were not displayed well, embedded movies were not played, symbols and letters were skewed (although they claim to have tested them in advance). Their equipment look old and didn't work for half of the time - they didn't even have functioning microphones. Even working on AV for our board meeting (simple zoom connection) turned out to be a half-day program, using their equipment which failed along the way. And the attitude of "I know better" was really exhausting. They wouldn't listen to our needs and tried to tell us how we should be running our meeting. We spent 5 days where everyone involved in the planning of the meeting had to micromanage the AV staff and struggle to get anything done. A very stressful experience. Overall, unprofessional, poor execution, and unacceptable delivery. Definitely a NO!

He kept the dance floor full and really made the night so much fun for us. He provided the uplighting for the reception space and it made such a difference.

Couples use the Contagious wedding portal to track guest count, obtain vendor suggestions, and update financial spreadsheets. Additionally, the portal has a monthly tracker for couples to check off completed tasks. It makes the whole planning process so much easier to handle when you have all the information in one place, and broken down into easily digestible bullets. Joe also sets up monthly meetings to keep us up to date and on track with the planning process. Before I conclude, I also have to mention how absolutely helpful Joe was during Covid. Like so many couples, we had to reschedule our planned wedding in 2020 due to the pandemic. It was incredibly stressful and disheartening experience, but Joe really took a huge burden off of us when he reached out to all our vendors and ensured we were able to reschedule without hassle. That alone was worth every penny we paid. Joe is amiable, professional, organized and gave us great wedding advice! His assistance truly lifted such a burden off of my (now) husband and my plate during the hectic and stressful wedding planning process. Hiring the Contagious team was the best investment in our wedding we made! 5/5 stars!
