This review is a week over due! I cannot recommend Adam high enough! I wish i could choose 10 stars. Adam was a huge hit at my daughter's one year old birthday party. He felt like family. All of our guests enjoyed the Photo Booth. He personally customized the background for the pictures to match our theme. The photo prints are high quality. Looking forward to having him at future events!! read more

You know your DJ was a success when your guests keep asking for the playlist! And luckily Adam sent us a link to it on Spotify the next morning. We wanted a 90s school dance vibe with the bridesmaids walking down the aisle to Spice Girls and groomsmen to Back Street Boys and Adam happily indulged us. The online system for us to organize our special songs as well as preference was very simple to use and made preparation and organizing super easy. The day of he worked with our speakers before the ceremony to make sure the audio would be perfect, and was even ready to hype up the crowd although ours came ready to rage. Overall, we're very happy with our choice! read more

I found Philly Custom DJ through a Yelp search and it was a total win! Adam responded to my message within minutes and was able to work with my budget for a two-hour event. When the party was still rocking, he had no problem adding an extra half hour (paid, of course), which I greatly appreciated. From our first communication, Adam was always available and he even created a shared playlist doc so that we could work together on the music for my event. Working with Adam was above all else easy - I can't tell you how many times I've had difficulty getting in touch with DJs in the past. That was not the case here at all. I'm looking forward to booking Philly Custom DJ for other events in the future! read more

When looking for a DJ for our wedding, I saw reviews of Adam that went something like, "Adam was the best decision we made for our wedding." I echo that sentiment wholeheartedly, and I believe my partner agrees. We couldn't stop talking about how great he is! Adam was the most organized, responsive, helpful, upbeat, thoughtful, patient, and flexible vendor we had. Our first meeting with him felt more productive than any other meeting we'd had about our wedding (which may sound like an exaggeration but is completely true.) He's great with music, of course, but we didn't even think about all the ways he'd be involved with so much more! I believe he once referenced himself as a "Master of Ceremonies" and it couldn't be more true. He helped us think through the flow of the day and gave great advice. As we spoke, he was listening for the emotions we wanted attached to each part of our wedding so he could use sound to guide the vibe. He made it easy for us, which was very much appreciated given how difficult some elements of planning a wedding were for us. When the pandemic hit, Adam was incredibly patient with the uncertainty. When we decided to move forward at the last-minute, he was right there with us. He was so understanding and was the only person taking the time to outline the exact day-of details we still needed to nail down (and he managed to do it in a way that was honest but didn't cause any stress!?! He's magic like that!) We appreciated his help so, so much. Lastly, my mom planned a surprise for us with Adam: his photo booth! It was a huge hit and really gave people something to do with down time. Even the grandparents got into it! This was especially appreciated given the pandemic made many of our guests hesitant to dance (and we LOVED seeing all the photos afterwards.) We'd love to hire Adam again and again. Highly, HIGHLY recommend. read more

It's impossible to overstate how pleased we were with Adam at Philly Custom DJ. We initially reached out to Adam because we wanted a DJ who would play our custom playlist, but what he provided was much, much more. During the almost 2+ years it took to plan our wedding (COVID), Adam met with us regularly and provided valuable input and advice to help our wedding vision take shape. He's was our DJ, our MC, our timekeeper, our audio-visual expert, and much much more. He helped us create a music filled ceremony, a fully DJ'd cocktail hour, and an amazing dance party with a number of musical tricks and set-pieces. Beyond his unmatched expertise, he was also just so fun to work with. While many parts of wedding planning are extremely stressful, we always looked forward to our planning calls with Adam. If you are looking to create a memorable wedding experience, want help building the wedding playlist of your dreams, looking for someone to run AV, MC, get the party started, AND have a ton of fun in the process, look no farther than Adam at Philly Custom DJ. read more

Adam and his crew are awesome! We met on Zoom a handful of times leading up to our wedding and Adam made the process of selecting songs and creating playlists very clear. You can be as involved in the process as you want and Adam has good advice for every decision. On the day of, Adam and his crew helped ensure the wedding went smoothly and of course, fun and entertaining! Many thanks to Adam for helping make our wedding very special. PS - We recommend the photo booth as well! read more

When planning a wedding there are so many details that are important. Music being one of the most. I can't say enough great things about Adam and his team. He paid attention to who we were as a couple from the 1st meeting to our last pre-wedding meeting (yes, he does virtual meetings with you!) He was extremely passionate about making sure everything would be perfect for our wedding day. Even asking us to approve what he should wear. There were check-in's, playlist scrubbing, even attention to artists that we may not want played for ethical reasons. We hadn't considered a photo booth, but it wound up being the hit of the wedding! Everyone commented to us on how much fun they had, and how much they enjoyed Adam and his assistant. I felt like Adam was a family member by the end of this process. We would recommend him a million times over. He truly was one of the top vendors for our wedding. read more

My husband found DJ Adam in a desperate google search, for our wedding DJ and I am so glad he found him!! So if you are looking for an amazing DJ, look no further!!!! DJ Adam from start to finish did an incredible job!! He took time to plan with us several times prior to our wedding in the most convenient form - FaceTime.

All of my guests RAVED about the music and how fun Adam made our wedding night!! Music is really important to me and my husband, Adam played our favorite tunes and got everyone on the dance floor!

I cannot day enough good things about him! read more

See all

We hired Adam for our late May wedding in New Jersey and were blown away by him. From the start to the finish, it was obvious that Adam cared about making our wedding as amazing as possible and, in fact, Adam did help make our wedding amazing. During the several months leading up the wedding, Adam spoke with us several times (via skype and phone) about our wedding. He really took the time to understand what kind of "vibe" we were looking for during our wedding and what type of music was important to us. He created elaborate but easy to use spreadsheets for us to fill in with our favorite songs and the songs we wanted for each special occasions (e.g., first dance, mother/son dance...). During the weeks/days leading up to the wedding, Adam kept in constant contact with us about wedding details. He even emailed us a playlist he put together for one part of the evening for our approval. He also went above and beyond what was expected of him as a DJ- he coordinated with our wedding band, officiant, venue and photographer to ensure that the sound for our wedding would be perfect and flawlessly recorded. On the day of the wedding, Adam arrived earlier than expected and was ready for our big evening before we were! Once again, he went above and beyond - he kept checking in on us to make sure we were okay and even brought us bottles of water because he could tell we weren't hydrating. He helped group together the wedding parties and helped us line up the processional before the ceremony. Our venue was very complicated- we got getting married outside, then guests went downstairs in the venue for cocktail hour, then upstairs for dinner, then back downstairs for dancing. Adam somehow managed to flawlessly amplify and provide music to all three spaces and he made it look effortless. The music was perfect. Because he consulted with us before the wedding, he knew exactly what kind of music we wanted and he delivered. He took the list of songs we put together, added to it, and created the perfect playlists for each moment of the wedding. He was also more than willing to take requests during the night. We're not really sure what else could be said about Adam - he did an amazing job and we are so happy we chose him as our DJ. Not to mention the fact that he was just a really cool guy that was fun to have at our wedding. Our only regret is that we didn't get a picture with him! We highly recommend him. read more

Above and Beyond. The only way to describe Adam and his team. Adam absolutely smashed it at our wedding a little over a month ago where we had 4 different locations that required audio at sometimes overlapping times. He created a custom playlist for us that ended up being spot on for our audience. We got rave reviews from our guests for the music and the amazing Photo Booth. I would recommend him for anyone looking to put on a memorable party!! read more

I can't say enough good things about Adam: This dude possesses such a rare combination of competence, class, and kindness. My wife and I hired him to DJ our wedding and we could not have been more satisfied. We set up a meeting to discuss our expectations and hopes for our ceremony and celebration, and we were immediately charmed. He was incredibly communicative and promptly answered all of our questions from that first meeting to the wedding itself. In my ignorance, I expected to hand him a playlist and call it a day, and he helped me understand what my wedding would actually be like, what to expect, and what pitfalls to avoid. Adam is truly an expert; he leaves no stone unturned, no in-law alienated, no top 40 jam unvetted. Music aside, Adam is a professional. He arrived early with all of his equipment, set it up and broke it down within the allotted rental time. He coordinated with our vendors to make sure they were on the same page, and as a result the music was seamless from the ceremony to our final dance. He cracked jokes with our guests and was a highlight of the celebration for many of them. Like a loving shepherd he led them from the lawn to the tent to the porch and back again. He oversaw a raucous hora. He checked in with us when we looked thirsty and made sure we were hydrated. He made us smile when we looked overwhelmed. He did so, so much more than I would have ever expected, and I highly recommend Philly Custom DJ to anyone who wants to throw a party. read more

If I used as many superlatives as Adam deserves, this review would be very tedious. From reading the first word of a Yelp review to the final notes resonating in the air at the end of my wife and I's wedding/reception the experience was unforgettable. Adam went above and beyond to make the planning and understanding of what was needed for every segment of the event very logical and simple. I am very particular about music and Adam put every song my wife and I requested in the playlist (and kept the songs we absolutely did not want OUT of the playlist). He even went so far as to find a studio version of a VERY meaningful song to us that I thought only existed as a live version. It was incredible and meant almost as much as getting married to my wife! Our guests loved Adam! He is very sociable and interactive and certainly got the crowd up on their feet dancing and thoroughly enjoying our special event. My wife and I certainly go beyond thinking of Adam as being our DJ. He is now considered a friend! You should not hesitate if you're considering having or absolutely need someone to host your event! read more

DJ Adam was amazing. He created a unique and personal experience for us and our guests. Everyone loved the photo booth. Adam made sure we were well taken care of and listened to all of our needs. He kept everyone one dancing and the wedding flowed quite well. Highly Recommend! Thank you Philly Custom DJ! read more

Adam DJed our wedding in Brooklyn, NY in August. We loved the music played at our wedding, and received many compliments on it from our guests as well. He was professional throughout the wedding planning process and asked us all of the right questions. He was able to take a bunch of different lists we created for our wedding, such as "dinner music," "dancing", "closing songs", etc. and streamlined them into a great playlist for the event that flowed just the way we hoped. He also worked very well with our caterers and other vendors at the wedding and took initiative to reach out to everyone before the event, making it stress-free for us. Highly recommend Philly Custom DJ. read more

So happy we chose Adam he was fantastic start to finish. He was our DJ and officiant and we are so happy we chose him. He responds to any question you have same day (the most responsive of our vendors). We weren't sure how we would start to select our vendors but once we met Adam we knew this would be the easiest choice. He puts you at ease, if friendly, light-hearted and very experienced. I highly recommend, my friend will be contacting him for her wedding later this year! read more

Adam DJed our wedding just a few weeks ago at the Knowlton Mansion and did a kickass amazing job for us. Adam made a great effort in preparing for our big day and it absolutely paid off in the end. Every song he played was one we loved and the process was a ton of fun. The dance floor was filled all night and we got a ton of compliments. Adam was up for whatever we wanted to do and really helped to make our day special and truly effortless. Bonus: as far as I can tell he's super reasonably priced and well worth any expense to ensure a great experience. I really can't say enough about how well everything turned out and how happy we were with Adam and his musical services. I'd recommend him and his company to anyone getting ready to tackle any big event. read more

I got married in the beginning of May. By the time finally rolled around I felt so secure in knowing that Adam would take care of any bumps in the road. He was so organized with google spreadsheets, and Spotify playlists. On the day he was able to accommodate all the little changes from an added announcement to crazy synagogue ladies. He was a joy to work with. Highly recommended. read more

I got married in June and Adam of Philly Custom DJ was my DJ. We had a wedding party worthy of a United Colors of Benetton ad - my Moroccan Israeli mother, his Russian parents, and a sister with an unhealthy love of terrible pop music. Adam was very organized and extremely patient with us, even fielding calls from our families to ensure a playlist that, in the end, included yiddish swing, Israeli pop, traditional Moroccan music, Russian songs, pop hits, some Italian stuff thrown in, and music from Glee. He has a TON of music at his disposal. Our venue was outdoors and the sound system was great, it carried over the grounds well. All in all having a DJ we could count on was one less thing to worry about and we were very impressed. Highly recommended! read more

Adam is great, he was the DJ for our wedding and was able to find every ridiculous song we requested (on a very demanding playlist) and has a great taste in music that helped us fill in the gaps. Adam was so easy to work with throughout the process. He accommodated a somewhat unusual ceremony and reception that involved expertly providing a soundtrack to events that we essentially made up. He also didn't need anything from us the day of; he totally had his ducks in a row so we could enjoy ourselves, which is nice after months of planning. We are so glad we hired him - he read the room well and made everything flow just right. Love him!! Thanks Adam! read more

We used Adam recently for our wedding. We found Adam calm, genuine and easy to work with. He worked hard to get to know us and what we like to hear as well as to learn about the crowd and their likes. With a wide mix of cultures and ages at our wedding, Adam found a really nice mix of tunes that kept the party on track the whole way through. When it was time, the dance floor was packed and Adam kept the energy going. We would use him again for sure. read more

Adam DJ'd our daughter's Bat Mitzvah last week and did an amazing job start to finish. From our initial phone conversation, it was clear that he was interested in understanding what music we liked and what would work best for our group. We worked on playlists together including songs to please the crowd of 13 year olds and those that were 13 in the 80s. On the day of the event he nailed it with a high energy that kept everybody engaged. He accommodated the kids requests with some guidance from our previously worked out "no play" list. I will point out that if you're looking for MTV style dancers, props and party games Philly Custom DJ is probably not the right fit for you. But if you're all about the music, and if your crowd loves to dance, you really couldn't do better. Thank you Adam! read more

Adam at Philly Custom DJ was simply awesome. Attended a 50th birthday party and he made the night a great success . He also introduced me to new music which I'm now in love with! read more

Oh the things you can luck into using the old search bar in google. My wife happened upon Adam and Philly Custom DJ through a quick search and after a brief conversation we arranged to meet for a drink and a bite to discuss what we were looking for. Within the few hours we spent talking about music, parties and ourselves Adam had won our trust and all he did over the next 6 months was keep reinforcing that this trust was warranted. He took everything we wanted and made it happen, he made additions that were spot on with the tone we wanted, he encouraged our weirdest ideas and more than anything he put our minds at ease that our dance floor would be jammed. When the day arrived Adam transcended DJ status and took on the role of master of ceremonies, helping us organize, get drinks and even make sure we were fed. I am forever thankful for him providing mini confetti cannons which I had mentioned off handed at a late meeting, and Adrienne and I couldn't have dreamed up a better person and crew than Adam and Philly Custom DJ to make our wedding a success. read more

I recommended Adam of Philly Custom DJ for a friend who was planning his daughter's bat mitzvah. Adam consulted with the family and my friend's daughter (who happens to have a particular fondness for the Clash and the Ramones) and she was amazed that Adam knew everything from the latest hip-hop to punk to alternative to French new-wave. The party was at an art museum and Adam projected ambient images that enhanced the already snazzy atmosphere. If you care about hearing the music that you love at an event, Philly Custom DJ is for you. read more

Our wedding was less than a month ago. Now that we are back from our honeymoon and have spoken to almost everyone who was present, it's clear that we made the right choice hiring Adam as our wedding DJ. The dance floor was packed all night long, which is pretty much the most important criteria. In the months before the wedding, Adam was easy to work with for planning. He definitely put in the time to listen to our vision and make it happen. He added personal touches. He made the music selection easy and the results were clear. Young and old, slow and fast songs, everyone was having a great time. You could tell that Adam was into it and feeding off the crowd to keep the party going. Adam and his assistant did a great job preparing and making sure that the transition between ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception was flawless. The photobooth was a hit, and it did not keep people away from the dance floor as some might be concerned about. Overall, we are so happy that we chose Philly Custom DJ. read more

Adam at Philly Custom DJ truly went above and beyond to make our wedding day personalized to us. I had a very specific idea of how I envisioned the soundtrack of the day going and I went looking for a DJ that would take all my wants and ideas into mind when creating the playlists for our wedding day. I did NOT want a DJ that would tell us, "yes yes yes, I see your vision", and then play a bunch of terrible songs that we hated at the reception. Adam was definitely not one of "those" DJs. Adam not only understood what we were looking for, he encouraged us, worked through our requests with us and shared so many of his favorite playlists he thought we would enjoy and get inspiration from. Bonus: he uses Spotify making sharing playlists so easy! He truly took the time to ensure everything was perfect for us. We had more meetings with Adam than we did with any other vendor, and that just shows how much he wanted to make sure our vision was fulfilled. I had a very specific idea for music before the ceremony, during the ceremony and for cocktail hour. Adam did a great job taking all my songs and putting them in the perfect order with the smoothest transitions. I listen to the cocktail hour playlist he shared with us all the time because the flow of the songs is truly beautiful! For the reception, we weren't as picky, but Adam took all our requests for the songs we definitely wanted, and all the songs we definitely didn't want and made the reception truly one for the books. He even honored our crazy request for Die Antwoord, I Fink U Freeky (a real crowd pleaser for my husband's group of friends)! Over all the day tuned out perfect and Adam's work creating the soundtrack for the day played a large part in how perfect it truly was. Thank you again Adam! read more

Adam is a walking, talking party with an encyclopedic knowledge of music. Absolutely outstanding ability to turn even the lamest party into a blast, no matter the number, and energy level of revelers. Cannot endorse highly enough. read more
