Matthew was an absolute blast to have as the DJ for my birthday party! He was super professional from the get-go and made sure to understand exactly what kind of music I was looking for. He nailed it with the vintage disco theme and had everyone on the dance floor all night long. One thing that really stood out to me was that during a lull in the party, Matthew played a surprise song that I mentioned I love during the planning phase, it totally turned the mood around and got everyone dancing again. He really knows how to read a crowd and keep the party going. The sound and lighting were on point and he was able to keep the volume at a comfortable level while still getting everyone pumped. I would highly recommend Matthew for any event, he made my birthday party one to remember and I can't wait to have him DJ for me again!

We're a Brooklyn Biergarten and we booked Matthew to DJ our NYE party. It was a great experience from start to finish. Matthew came early to set up. Was super helpful in song selection, read the room well and played what the audience wanted to hear. He took song requests from the crowd, got the bar dancing once the drinks started flowing, and was very professional and easy to work with. A total dream for a bar manager. We'll be booking Matthew again.

I recently hired Matthew as the DJ for my holiday party, and I have to say that he completely exceeded my expectations. From the moment he arrived, he was professional, organized, and ready to get the party started. Matthew was able to read the crowd perfectly and kept the dance floor packed all night long. His music selection was spot on, and he even took requests from our guests. He also had all of the necessary equipment, including lighting and sound, to really set the mood for the party. Overall, Matthew made my holiday party an absolute success. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of a DJ for their event. He truly knows how to get the party going and keep it going all night long. Thank you, Matthew, for an unforgettable evening!

Matt was our DJ and we could not have asked for a better experience. He arrived early to setup his equipment, and everything looked awesome with the lights. The sound was amazing, and he kept the party going all night, taking requests from my family and friends. He was professional and friendly, and his voice was just perfect behind the microphone. I would definitely hire him again, thanks again Matt!
