No Macarena was amazing! Brett was beyond responsive and played every song we requested. He kept the dance floor packed for over 3 hours. He helped us plan on the night where to do toasts and all of the traditional dances. The company was responsive and easy to work with. They also allowed us to pay via paypal which was very convenient.

Kim was fantastic to work with leading up to our wedding; she listened to all of our suggestions and was very quick to get back to us when we had questions. We had Grace as our DJ the night of our wedding, and she did a wonderful job! She played the songs that we had requested her to play, and she kept everyone on the dance floor all night. We didn’t want a lot of announcements or anything, and she just kind of jammed to herself doing her DJ thing. She was fantastic!! Highly recommend No Macarena to anyone!

We loved our DJ!! And so did all of our guests! We were lucky to have Evan Hoffman as our DJ. He did a wonderful job. Our music requests are really eclectic and he did such a good job of keeping every guest dancing no matter their taste in music. It was so much fun!

I am very happy that my husband and I decided to use No Macarena for our wedding reception. Kim was great, she took the time to meet with us before hand to work out the “sound” of our reception. She had great ideas and was very receptive to the kind of music we liked and the crowd that would be at our wedding. Honestly, I had the time of my life… there was never a lull in the party… the dance floor was packed!

Danny also was great about keeping us close to our wedding schedule, making sure we had time for toasts and dancing. I can’t recommend No Macarena enough!
Alexis Wojtanowski
Great communication and clarity throughout the process of planning music for a wedding cocktail hour and dinner with Kim and Josh. Despite our own mixed messages about what we wanted, Josh put together a mood that got praise and good vibes going throughout our event. Highly recommended!

We were thrilled with our experience with No Macarena. They DJ’d our wedding at Bok in South Philly in September 2018. Our initial communication was with Kim Alexander (owner), who took the time to understand our needs and work out our contract. A few weeks before our wedding, we had a great phone call with our DJ (Joe Pizzio) who was outstanding to work with. We had been considering doing the DIY/Spotify route and Joe was great about taking the playlists we had compiled and putting his own spin on them. He largely stuck with the songs we’d been considering (without making us feel weird about it) but had some great additions and really made the evening flow — lots of thoughtful transitions (Lauryn Hill’s “Doo Wop” into Drake’s “Nice For What”, which features a Lauryn Hill sample in the hook, wasn’t lost on us), wasn’t afraid to transition out of a song that the room wasn’t not feeling, etc. Can’t speak highly enough about how pleased we were with Joe and No Macarena in general. Highly recommended!

The music at our wedding was one of the most important aspects to us. As two people who really enjoy dancing and a great party atmosphere, we were so happy to have Dave Beck as our DJ. From the perfect wedding procession to the dinner music, all our favorite songs were there. I never had to worry about the flow of the night because he kept everything moving at the perfect pace. Someone actually told me that they had never seen a bride dance so much, and it was all because every time I wanted to take a break, he would play another amazing song. We really could have kept the party going for hours and hours more. We are so happy that we hired No Macarena!

We are so happy we chose No Macarena to DJ our wedding. We were looking for a DJ who could cater to our personal musical taste instead of just playing all the stock wedding classics. Working with Kim to coordinate was a breeze, she was super responsive and extremely helpful. On the day of our wedding, DJ Rod did an awesome job Doing and MCing the party. He played all the songs we wanted to hear, and added his own personal touch, which we really enjoyed. We are so glad we got to work with Kim and Rod and would definitely recommend them!

Josh was awesome for December wedding! He did such a great job of blending our *interesting* tastes in music and I kept getting told how great the music was. It was a blast and Josh was a big part of that!

My husband and I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dave Beck and Kim Alexander from No Macarena!! Even with having to change our wedding guest list from 100+ to just 25 people due to the pandemic, Dave had the entire group up and dancing all night long. They were responsive to all of our needs and checked in for support throughout the entire planning process. Dave was also absolutely wonderful handling requests from our kiddos in attendance and made them feel so included. Hire them immediately!!

Kim at No Macarena was awesome! She was quick to get back to me whenever I had a question to discuss with her and so professional! I didn’t have to worry at all that she would be there on time and ready to go which was such a relief the day of the wedding! Everyone at the wedding was commenting on how awesome the music was and Kim made sure the volume was perfect for everyone, which is so often an issue at weddings! At the end of the night Kim made sure to come and say goodbye to me which was just so nice! I would recommend Kim and No Macarena to everyone! Awesome wedding DJ!!

We are thrilled with our decision to work with No Macarena and Danny Madonna in particular. Everyone we spoke with was very informed and helpful in letting us know what we information we need to provide, and decisions we needed to make. We decided against walking down the aisle and opted out of a few of the traditional wedding moments, and Danny helped create a very smooth experience for us and our guests. We are music lovers, so we came with a lot of music recommendations which he primarily used. When he went off script (which he was allowed to :)) the music was still great. The guests had so much fun and so did we. Cannot recommend enough!
brigette r
Perfect! Kim was great from beginning to end and always took the time to answer all my questions even if they were repeats. Jonas was our DJ and he was exceptional! Whatever we asked of him he was able to take care of. HIGHLY, HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend this DJ company!
Marie M
Kim was an excellent DJ! She played all the songs we requested, and the rest of the playlist was a great mix that kept our guests dancing all night long!
Sarah Thomas
Kim did a great job at our wedding. She played music without being obnoxious. We gave her a list of songs and she was able to play nearly all of them – and we had quite an eclectic mix, from the Dead Milkmen to Lou Rawls! We were very happy with No Macarena.

Kim was absolutely wonderful. The lead up to the wedding was great and she chose an amazing playlist. She was helpful with changes and patient during the many speeches we had during the wedding. With all the delays she packed a punch on the dance floor and it was packed for the remainder of the night. She was so wonderful and my husband and I are still gleefully reminiscing of the music and the dancing of that night!

Kim was great! We didn’t give Kim a lot of direction, just a short list of songs, but she managed to infer our musical tastes for that small selection and put together a great playlist. We had a wide range of ages, but Kim kept everyone happy and dancing!

Kim from No Macarena was fantastic! She provided me with additional setup up for the ceremony and was able to fill in appropriate music/song choices on certain things I didn’t feel like picking ie. cake cutting. She had my guests dancing all night and even me! Every one danced the night away. Even friends of mine who normally don’t dance, Dance! The process was so simple. No pages upon pages of music choices, just gave her a decent amount of songs/artist we liked and she did the rest. Would highly recommend!
Olympia
I would absolutely recommend No Macarena in a heart beat. Exactly as involved or not involved as you wish. Totally sticks to your playlist. My guests raved about the music and they danced the night away. One suggestion: pick you last song…
Katie

Fantastic professional experience from start to finish. Kept us involved throughout and invited us to contribute as much as we felt necessary. At the beginning of the reception my mom gave Josh a list of traditional Greek wedding song requests (which were NOT on the playlist we submitted) and Josh, hero that he is, found and played them all and made a lot of Greek people very happy. He also played everything we did request and kept the party moving all night. Could not recommend him enough.

No Macarea was simply amazing! We had such a great time at our wedding thanks to the attention to detail and organization of Kim and Josh, our DJ for the night. Kim was very easy to communicate with during the planning process. Josh took the time to get our song preferences including songs we did not want to hear. He was very good about respectfully letting the guests know which songs we had asked not to be played. He played every single song we did request, and the flow of the evening went so well. Josh had some great suggestions for the event too. For example, my husband and I were feeling a little nervous about a traditional first dance with all eyes on us. Josh helped us structure a first dance that was much more relaxed and open to all the guests but still gave us that special moment. Overall, this group takes the time to get to know their clients and build the perfect evening. They have amazing music knowledge and were able to keep everyone on the dance floor. We received so many compliments on the music for the evening. Thank you Kim and Josh!

No Macarena provided the music for my ceremony, cocktail hour and reception on 9/15/12. I really enjoyed working with this company. Kim Alexander, the owner, is responsive and pleasant. Dave Beck was our DJ for the wedding day, and I am glad that we had him. A few weeks before the wedding Dave and I talked on the phone, and I was impressed by how organized he was and his attention to details (for example, making sure he had everyone’s names pronounced correctly for our introductions). My husband and I kept changing things last minute, and Dave wasn’t bothered at all by my emails (or, he didn’t let on to be!). I had given Dave a few specific songs, but other than that I gave him very general genre-type guidelines. On the day of my wedding, the music was awesome!! He kept everyone on the dance floor the entire night. And, yes, it’s true – they really will not play any songs that you list on the “don’t play” list. My brother tried to request one and got shot down! Dave even went the extra mile, setting up speakers in the cocktail area when my venue’s sound system wouldn’t work. I would definitely recommend No Macarena DJ to anyone having a wedding in the Philadelphia area. They were pleasant, affordable, and really made an effort to make sure the music at my wedding was personal.

Kim and No Macarena Deejayed my wedding, and I still hear about how awesome the music and party was over 2 years later.
Steve Gdowik
Our DJ did exactly as we asked, then had the good sense to switch it up when our playlist wasn’t working. They are professional, totally un-cheesy, sounded great and kept the party hopping! They’re relatively expensive, but worth it!

You put so much energy into planning a wedding- but ensuring your guests have fun is a burden on the shoulders of your DJ. Evan at No Macarena saw to it that our guests had an incredible time! Guests of all ages spent the entire night on the dance floor. He crafted a play list that met our style the whole evening through. From scheduling with Kim a year in advance, to a conference call with Evan the week of the wedding to confirm what we wanted- working with No Macarena was a pleasure. The evening of our rehearsal we realized the the nearby air conditioning unit was louder than we were. In a moment of panic I called Evan, who within minutes, less than 24 hours before the wedding arranged to bring and set up a second sound system for the ceremony. The music was seemless, and it is notable that in every photo of our reception, our guests were dancing- thanks to Evan at No Macarena!

Our wedding went fantastic and was in great part due to Joe Pizzio of No Macarena. He was incredibly flexible and has an in-depth, varied music knowledge base. We had asked for a more pop-punk inspired music list and with only a handful of examples he was able to fill out the music list in way that EVERYONE was up and dancing, having a fantastic time. We also had a close to last minute game we wanted to do that required multiple songs to keep the energy going and Joe was all over it. He was an absolute delight to work with and we had that many more memorable moments because of the energy he brought to the party.

No Macarena was amazing! Our DJ was Joe Pizzio and he was incredible from beginning to end. Me and my husband started making couple of long playlists months before the wedding. we gather all the songs that we really loved and the ones we had good memories with growing up: for dancing, slow dancing, reception, happy hour … We gave Joe those lists a week before the wedding. He was so great at receiving that huge list. I am Iranian and mu husband is American so there was a lot of International music there as well. Joe actually owned most of the music I sent him! He has a huge collection of diverse musics. we talked on the phone about what we really didn’t want and what we did want and he was so great at listening to all our needs and helping us through. On the day of wedding, he showed up dressed in a beautiful suit although it was a verrry hot day in September. He was absolutely professional. He played everything as it was planned. He had a great sense on seemlessly mixing all these different genres that we have given him. Everyone was on the dance floor having fun. He could feel the energy so well. He coordinated with the caterers and the photographer for every single detail that was needed in the back. We didn’t really want a loud DJ and Joe absolutely respected our wish. I would work with him again and again. Thank you so much for your incredible service!

My husband and I worked with No Macarena for our wedding and could not have been happier. We connected with Kim immediately during our first call and knew she would be the ideal fit for our wedding. Kim was very responsive and gave us great direction in planning the music for our wedding reception. As part of the planning processing, Kim had us complete an information sheet on our musical likes and dislikes. Initially, we went way over board, proposing at least 100 songs we thought should be played at our wedding reception at different times. Kim leveled with us (gently), and recommended that she work with the themes and play our top songs (thank you Kim!). Kim was 100% right. She responded to the feelings of the crowd and kept the party going all night. Kim made sure to save our favorite songs for when we were on the dance floor. No Macarena was a top vendor for our wedding. Kim was so professional, responsive, and easy to work with. We received countless compliments on our DJ from our guests and even other vendors. We found No Macrena’s pricing to be very reasonable, especially given the quality and overall experience. I would 100% book with No Macarena again and have since recommended No Macarena to other brides

My fiancé and I knew we were going to be asking a lot from our DJ. We had some goofy musical choices, a lot of song transitions for the ceremony and introductions, and we did NOT want any of the usual lame DJ chatter. From the moment I talked to Kim on the phone for the first time, I knew she was the DJ for us. She was responsive, totally understood the vibe that I was going for, and seriously reasonably priced. I actually felt guilty after filling out my music sheet for her because I felt like we were asking so much, but she delivered in spades and made our wedding so memorable. The transitions and announcements were perfect, and we had guests on the dance floor through the very last song. We received so many compliments on the music, and my husband’s sister even asked us if she could get a copy of the night’s playlist! It was that good. If you want a DJ with a chill vibe but amazing music, Kim is your person without a doubt. Thank you!!!!

Kim was our wedding DJ and she did an incredible job! I loved working with her. She was so helpful in coming up with the perfect playlist and even developing the timeline for the wedding. She worked with me to make sure my cousin and uncle (the family musicians) could play while I walked down the aisle and provided three extra microphones to allow this to happen. She read the room perfectly and played the perfect songs at each moment, transitioning seamlessly. She even put up with my husband had many, many song requests. It was a joy working with her and I would recommend her to anyone who is doing a wedding in the Philadelphia area!

Kim was an absolutely amazing DJ for our wedding. My wife joked that I was a bit of a Groomzilla about the music, but that’s just because I know that’s what really makes a wedding. Once we saw Kim I knew we had our DJ. She has an immense knowledge of music and knew exactly what to play and when to play it. We were able to talk beforehand and give her our ideas for what type of music we liked and she created an awesome set off of that. She was especially helpful with selecting the perfect music for that dinner/post dinner time before all the real serious dancing begins.

My husband and I are so happy we chose No Macarena as our DJ. Our musical taste can be a little different than what you may hear at other weddings. Kim worked with us to create a memorable playlist and our guests had a wonderful time dancing during the reception. Kim was extremely professional and kept the spotlight on the wedding and celebration, only guiding the guests when necessary. We were so happy to hear so many of the songs we wanted to hear be played on the actual day. I think No Macarena is a fantastic value with great musical taste.

We booked No Macarena after my cousin’s suggestion and could not have been happier with this decision. Our one goal for the wedding was to throw the most epic dance party and ensure that all of our guests had a ball. Our assigned DJ was Dave Devlin, and we were so impressed with him. He called us the week before to finalize arrangements and get a feel for the wedding. He assured us he could steer the ship well, and we had complete faith in him. However, nothing would truly prepare us for just how well he did it. He gracefully navigated our large bridal party and nailed the pronunciation of everyone’s names, seamlessly DJd between our three locations (outside for ceremony, barn for cocktail hour, and pavilion for reception), truly understood the feel we were aiming for, and flawlessly executed the most EPIC wedding ever. Kim (the owner) was even able to get music from random YouTube videos we found. I was blown away by the professionalism and talent. I don’t think one person sat down the entire time. Huge huge thank yous to Dave and Kim and everyone at No Macarena.

No Macarena was a great choice for our wedding. They helped us personalize the ceremony to match a variety of musical tastes. Josh was a great DJ and helped us plan the timing of the event. We highly recommend them for any couple looking for a personal and fun musical atmosphere.

Our DJ was Evan and he was GREAT. We didn’t give him too much direction but he still completely rocked it. He was incredibly professional, kind, and helpful. We received numerous comments from our guests that he did a great job (and even requests from our engaged friends to pass along his contact info!). He was one of our absolute favorite vendors. He had EVERYONE dancing, from age 3 to 91. I cannot say enough good things about Evan and No Macarena. You can’t go wrong with these guys!!

Kim was great to work with!! She listened to what we wanted- which was a very specific list of plays/do-NOT-plays and kept the party going all night!! She was exactly what we wanted in a DJ– someone who would simply give us the best party of our lives. No line dances, no choreography, and she was on the mic only to announce what we had specifically discussed (dances, cake cutting etc). Everything was perfect, THANK YOU KIM & No Macarena!!

We hired “No Macarena” DJ & Custom Music Service for our recent wedding, and we could not have had a better experience. Our wedding planner (an alum from the live music production industry) recommended Kim at “No Macarena” to us, and we were so happy with her services. After all the more traditional wedding elements, we wanted a great dance party where all of our guests would have a great time, and that’s exactly what we got. All communication with Kim was punctual, friendly and professional, and she was able to adeptly incorporate all (seriously, all) of our song requests, even the ones that were somewhat obscure or unusual. She took the time to have a detailed conversation with us ahead of time to clarify the genres of music we were going for, and she made sure to discuss any specific song requests that needed a place in the flow of the dancing. We landed on a mix of ’70s disco and ’80s-’90s hip hop, with some current dance hits mixed in, based on the age ranges of our guests and our preferences. She nailed this mixture perfectly and every song had a combination of the younger and older guests all dancing and singing along. She avoided all the stereotypical wedding songs we thought were overplayed, and of course avoided all the line dancing songs we didn’t want, too. Even though I was the bride and probably should have been visiting with guests more throughout the night, I was on the dance floor all night instead. I couldn’t get over the song selection and how she knew to play certain songs that we hadn’t even necessarily discussed in our phone conversation, especially those that had personal meaning to us even if they weren’t necessarily crowd favorites. “No Macarena” truly made our wedding special to us and a ton of fun for our guests – we highly recommend Kim and her team to anyone in the Philly area looking for a DJ. We can’t thank you enough, Kim!

We cannot say enough about No Macarena. One of our best wedding planning decisions was hiring Kim Alexander. She was FANTASTIC! From our first conversation with her, we were impressed. She was attentive to detail, incredibly knowledgeable, asked great questions to figure out our taste, and made the whole process super easy and fun. My now husband and I have quite an eclectic taste in music and we had some unique requests for dinner/cocktail hour – she absolutely nailed the song selection for the night and we seriously could not be happier. Our guests (almost all 165 of them, from all different age groups) were up dancing ALL night – from the first song ’til the last. We loved how simple everything was and how easy Kim was to work with. The music was a HUGE highlight of our wedding night and we have Kim and No Macarena to thank for that. Going into my wedding night, I did not anticipate dancing the entire time, but it turned out that I couldn’t leave the dance floor – it was too much fun.

She provided me with additional setup up for the ceremony and was able to fill in appropriate music/song choices on certain things I didn’t feel like picking ie. cake cutting. She had my guests dancing all night and even me! Every one danced the night away. Even friends of mine who normally don’t dance, Dance! The process was so simple. No pages upon pages of music choices, just gave her a decent amount of songs/artist we liked and she did the rest. Would highly recommend!

Kim did an absolutely wonderful job at our wedding. Our guests had a blast dancing, and many of them complimented us on the playlist. Kim was also super professional and prompt, which made planning a breeze. Thanks so much!

Kim was the best!! We had the best day, and she was a big part of it– not only did she do exactly what she promised, but she had great judgment on the music that would work for our crowd and she was so professional to work with. I got so many compliments on the wedding and reception music! Several friends told me that the music was very “me,” which was a testament to you knowing which songs to pick to go along with ours. Thanks, I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a wedding DJ!

Our guests raved about our DJ and everyone was out on the dance floor. Thank you Kim and Jonas! If you are looking for a responsive, reliable, professional and fun DJ I would definitely book with No Macarena.

Kim was great – it was easy to coordinate with her in the months leading up to the wedding and she had good advice about how to handle parent-child dances and toasts, which we greatly appreciated. I can’t remember hearing a single song I didn’t like and – miracle of miracles – our friends were dancing the whole night, despite it being an outdoor wedding in >95 degree weather. I’d recommend her in a heartbeat.

Kim was our wedding DJ and she did an incredible job! I loved working with her. She was so helpful in coming up with the perfect playlist and even developing the timeline for the wedding. She worked with me to make sure my cousin and uncle (the family musicians) could play while I walked down the aisle and provided three extra microphones to allow this to happen. She read the room perfectly and played the perfect songs at each moment, transitioning seamlessly. She even put up with my husband had many, many song requests. It was a joy working with her and I would recommend her to anyone who is doing a wedding in the Philadelphia area

We are thrilled with our decision to work with No Macarena and Danny Madonna in particular. Everyone we spoke with was very informed and helpful in letting us know what we information we need to provide, and decisions we needed to make. We decided against walking down the aisle and opted out of a few of the traditional wedding moments, and Danny helped create a very smooth experience for us and our guests. We are music lovers, so we came with a lot of music recommendations which he primarily used. When he went off script (which he was allowed to :)) the music was still great. The guests had so much fun and so did we. Cannot recommend enough!

The day before the wedding, we realized it might be hard for guests to hear if we didn’t have a microphone for the ceremony, and Kim was willing to come early and set up a microphone even though we were using musicians for the ceremony and cocktail hour so we hadn’t booked her to start until the reception. She did that for a very reasonable additional cost and was extremely gracious about the last-minute nature of the request. She also did a great job of balancing our requests with guest requests and her own choices. Everyone loved the music!

At the beginning of the reception my mom gave Josh a list of traditional Greek wedding song requests (which were NOT on the playlist we submitted) and Josh, hero that he is, found and played them all and made a lot of Greek people very happy. He also played everything we did request and kept the party moving all night. Could not recommend him enough.

We gave her a list of songs and she worked off those and nailed it! She listened to what we liked and added more songs. Unfortunately at the last minute the guitarist for our ceremony did not show up, so Kim took charged and played for us down the aisle. It actually was even better because she knew exactly what to do. Our guests were on the dance floor all night thanks to the great music! Thank you so much Kim for the amazing night we won’t ever forget!

We got compliments from our guests on the music. We would definitely recommend them and use them again at future social events.

My wife and I have some interesting musical tastes. Think: Michael McDonald, ABBA and the Spice Girls. Kim found a way to blend together our ‘must-haves’ with similar songs in the genre and when we gave her our “no play” list, we could feel the high-five through the phone as we could tell she was tired of playing them too. So many guests remarked how our set list was incredible. At a typical wedding, the music hits and misses with a few solid dance songs that get people out there, a few groaners that people begrudgingly dance to and some “huh?” songs that people use as an excuse to nibble their dessert or grab another drink. At our wedding, it was non-stop dancing and fun and our guests let us know how awesome it was. Thank you Kim!

Dave Beck was the DJ for our wedding. What a great experience we had! We wanted music that would appeal to a very wide range of people (we had kids and grandparents at the event). The dance floor was occupied all night long! We also wanted Indian music as well and Dave was very accommodating.

One of the highlights of the night was a spontaneous “dance off.” Dave just went with the flow! If you want a true professional who does his job with a smile on his face – Dave Beck is your guy!

No Macarena was great! Joe Pizzio was the DJ for our wedding, including ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. Both he and Kim (the owner of the company) were easy to work with and professional. Joe did a great job listening to our music preferences and our vision for the different parts of the event, from 60’s pop during cocktail hour to soft indie during dinner. His playlists perfectly matched our musical taste. Joe did a great job during the dance party at the reception. He kept our crowd dancing and having fun! He mixed well-known songs and our more idiosyncratic requests in a way that kept the dance party going while still giving us the chance to dance to some of our more offbeat favorites. We highly recommend No Macarena and Joe for anyone who wants music choices that are a little unconventional.

We are SO happy that we decided on No Macarena as our DJ. They are exactly the type of DJ we were looking for. We were just a little nervous not knowing which DJ would be assigned to us. So we were set up with Evan and he agreed to meet with us before we made our decision. As soon as he walked into Starbucks I knew he was the DJ for us. He was so so nice, genuine, engaging, and interesting. We spent over an hour just talking and laughing with him. I booked No Macarena that day and I told my husband I would be heartbroken if something happened and we ended up with another DJ. Well everything went perfectly and Evan was there for our day. He did an amazing job and had everyone dancing. He even found a Nicaraguan song that my cousins needed to do a traditional Nicaraguan dance. He understood our eclectic taste of music and played all types of music that we loved and kept the guest on the dance floor. He is fun, talented, professional and such a nice guy.

We can’t say enough good things about working with No Macarena. We had the pleasure of having Kim DJ for our wedding and she was amazing! Kim and I spoke a couple weeks before our wedding and she went through all of our music choices with me and definitely understood the vibe we wanted. Kim played music for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. She did such a wonderful job being low key, feeling out our crowd and playing appropriate and awesome music! We received so many compliments afterwards from our guests telling us how much fun they had, especially on the dance floor. Kim kept the dancing going the entire night, which is something I was really hoping for! At one point we asked Kim to at “Let it Go” from Frozen, as it is our daughter and other flower girl’s favorite song, and Kim played it immediately! It definitely wasn’t a typical request, but Kim made it happen and our daughter put on quite the performance – it’s one of our favorite memories from the night! I would recommend No Macarena to any couple getting married, but especially to those who want a low key DJ who will only play music that you want and that will keep everyone dancing!

Kim did a wonderful job; our wedding reception felt more like a great party than anything else. Prior to the event, I was fully confident that we made the right choice and she certainly managed to exceed our expectations.

We had one coordination meeting by phone and a few follow up emails to provide her with a list of song/artist requests beforehand.

She incorporated most of our specific requests while filling in the blanks with complementary material. Everyone was dancing by the end of the night!

We gave him a huge random playlist, and he did such a great job putting the songs in an order that kept the party moving. We had him bring extra equipment with late notice and he made everything run so smoothly. My husband even reached out to him secretly before the wedding to coordinate a surprise for me in lieu of his mother-son dance, which Darrel helped him pull off flawlessly. We would definitely recommend No Macarena!!!

We loved Ken from No Macrena. He did exactly what we expected, played great music and stayed in the background! I have a little less on the responsiveness since I probably would have liked to be contacted earlier than 2 weeks before the wedding and I had to reach out to him, but once we got in touch, Ken was awesome! He continually sent me ceremony music as I struggled to pick something and even worked with me as I changed my mind only a day before the ceremony. His help was greatly appreciated and saved me a ton of time looking through the internet for songs.

I can not say greater things about Dave and No Macarena DJ for being so patient, flexible, and kind helping us reschedule our special day. This vendor really has their brides and grooms best interest during such uncertain times.

We can’t wait to have Dave help us celebrate our big!

We used No Macarena for our wedding and they were amazing. First, working with Kim was very easy and a great experience. Our DJ ended up being Darrel and he was truly the perfect DJ for our event! We sent him a Spotify play list and he did such a good job bringing some of those songs into the playlist as well as elaborating on our taste to make it an overall great mix of songs. He was thoughtful throughout the entire evening and went with the flow when things were changed up a bit. He did a great job of announcing the events of the evening without being on the mic too much. Darrel was able to read the dance floor and kept the party going the entire night. Our goal was to have a DJ who wasn’t corny but we ended up getting so much more! Would highly recommend them for any event that you are having!!

Have been to several events where Kim and/or her cohorts have played the room. Such fine musical tastes, a great sense of the environment, and unobtrusive but fun. A solid, reliable business.

We love music, No Macarena loves music…GOOD music. We and our guests had the best time at our wedding…our dance floor was packed with all ages of guests the whole night. It makes your night when you see your guests having such a blast and making memories and talking about it for days/weeks/etc to come. We chose No Macarena after seeing them at a friend’s wedding. We wanted good music, not the electric slide or any of that stuff. While we know those kinds of songs DO have a place at a wedding, it didn’t fit ours. No Macarena fit us and our wedding. Kim is very down to earth and very straight forward, which makes things easier when you are wedding planning. There are so many moving parts to a wedding, it’s nice to have a very easy, smooth part! They ask the right questions and do exactly what you want. It’s important to let them know of any additional announcement you want prior to the wedding day. While they do all the annoucning that happens at a wedding, they spend their time playing music, not so much on the mic, which is great. So if there are any extras or important things, think of them before the day! I believe we loved every single song that was played. During dinner it was all about Norah Jones, LAdy Antebellum, the Temper Trap, Van Morrison and then dancing was a cross between Saturday Night Fever meets Dirty Dancing and then of course the likes of Journey, Michael Jackson, Marvin Gaye. It was a perfectly crafted mix.

Amazing experience working with Kim!! Highly recommend – we came with varied music tastes + a non traditional reception setup and she was flexible, responsive, and helped make our night awesome!!

Jonas and No Macarena DJ were terrific! Jonas was professional, played all the music we asked him to play, and expertly dealt with guests who requested songs we did not want played. After providing him with some music suggestions, he understood what we wanted immediately, and completely nailed it. We received complements on all aspects of our wedding, but almost everyone we spoke with mentioned that the music was fantastic. We would recommend Jonas, and No Macarena DJ to anyone planning an event. 10 out of 10!

She provided me with additional setup up for the ceremony and was able to fill in appropriate music/song choices on certain things I didn’t feel like picking ie. cake cutting. She had my guests dancing all night and even me! Every one danced the night away. Even friends of mine who normally don’t dance, Dance! The process was so simple. No pages upon pages of music choices, just gave her a decent amount of songs/artist we liked and she did the rest. Would highly recommend!

Kim from No Macarena was the DJ for our wedding and I couldn’t have been more pleased! I gave her a huge list of songs I wanted played at the cocktail hour/dinner and she worked in a few other songs she knew I’d like and I was extremely happy with the results. My husband and I spent most of cocktail hour taking family formals so we didn’t get to hear much of the music so she gave us a cd of all the songs used for the cocktail hour which was such a nice touch! She even did the music for our ceremony and edited down our song for our recessional which sounded amazing and added to the ambiance. The volume was perfect, no one was screaming to be heard but it still rocked and everyone was up dancing! If you’re looking for a wonderful, professional, friendly and affordable DJ, No Macarena is seriously the way to go! You won’t be disappointed! 🙂

No Macarena providing excellent service for our wedding day! Kim, the owner, was responsive, organized, and pleasant to work with. Dave Beck, our DJ, was energetic and lively, but still paid attention to the details. On the day of the wedding, Dave kept everyone on the dance floor the entire night. He played a great mix of new and older music, keeping many generations out on the dance floor. We look back on the night fondly, remembering how much fun it looked like everyone was having at our wedding – and No Macarena helped provide the entertainment for it! I highly recommend Dave Beck and No Macarena to anyone!

Then we came across No Macarena and Dave Beck made our late 90s/early 2000s hit list dreams come true. The dance floor was packed until the end of the night and our guests asked about our DJ multiple times. We can’t express our gratitude enough!

Kim was our wedding DJ and she did an incredible job! I loved working with her. She was so helpful in coming up with the perfect playlist and even developing the timeline for the wedding. She worked with me to make sure my cousin and uncle (the family musicians) could play while I walked down the aisle and provided three extra microphones to allow this to happen. She read the room perfectly and played the perfect songs at each moment, transitioning seamlessly. She even put up with my husband had many, many song requests. It was a joy working with her and I would recommend her to anyone who is doing a wedding in the Philadelphia area!

He played everything we asked for and also paced the evening really well – everything was perfectly timed. We have gotten so many compliments on how great the music was, from the pre-ceremony time to dinner to the dance party. The dance floor was literally packed all night! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience, thanks!

Kim was an absolutely amazing DJ for our wedding. My wife joked that I was a bit of a Groomzilla about the music, but that’s just because I know that’s what really makes a wedding. Once we saw Kim I knew we had our DJ. She has an immense knowledge of music and knew exactly what to play and when to play it. We were able to talk beforehand and give her our ideas for what type of music we liked and she created an awesome set off of that. She was especially helpful with selecting the perfect music for that dinner/post dinner time before all the real serious dancing begins.
Dan Tosti
Kim was great to work with and a wonderful DJ for our wedding day. We had a lot of songs we wanted but not a lot of ideas about the flow of the wedding, so she helped with that and it seemed like everyone had a great time!

We absolutely loved working with Kim at No Macarena. I am a music nut and I have pretty particular music tastes that I really wanted that reflected in our wedding. On the flip side, we also wanted the music at the reception to be fun and accessible for everyone. After speaking with Kim on the phone just once, we knew she’d be the one who’d be able to do this! She took on all my specifics and requests (admittedly there were a lot!) and asked a lot of great questions to get an understanding of what the guests at our wedding would enjoy hearing. She was organized, easy to get in touch with, and provided a perfect musical backdrop for our day.

Everyone we worked with at No Macarena was helpful, responsive, and eager to do the best they could to help our big day be stress-free. I couldn’t be more grateful to Kim for helping us set it up for for our DJ Josh for making sure everything ran smoothly. I provided Josh with a long list of songs and he added in filler when and where it was needed. Music cues were perfect all night and we got tons of compliments on everything. Seriously, it was a breeze to work with them and if you’re looking for a reliable, not-annoying, efficient DJ, I cannot recommend them enough. We’re so thankful!
Alayna
No Macarena was easy to work with, and DJ Dave Beck kept the dance floor jammed for two hours! He was also extremely helpful with planning processional and recessional music, making sure we had excellent sound for the ceremony and best man’s speech, and creating an overall sound for our wedding.

Jonas was professional and absolutely amazing. We gave him free reign with a playlist of only ~30 songs and he took it from there. The dance floor was packed immediately because of his approach – give him direction, let him do what he does best, and you’ll be really happy you chose him.

She was the first vendor we hired after booking our venue and we couldn’t be more pleased. She was amazing throughout the entire process and really went out of her way to make the day perfect. My wife and I have very different tastes in music but Kim was able to fuse the two and provide an amazing soundtrack which everyone is still complimenting us on. We have already recommended her to our friends and family.

We enjoyed working with Kim, and our DJ (Dave) was great! He was flexible about a few last-minute changes to introductions, and about working with the house sound system. He played appropriate dinner music so that the meal was served and eaten smoothly (we even got to eat!). Some folks commented that they were concerned about the low/slow music during the meal at first, but looking back realized that it was the perfect transition. Dave definitely drew from our list of requests, and stuck to the company name by refusing to play any tacky party songs. Dave did the intros for our entrance and for speeches and special dances, but other than that he didn’t make a peep. Some folks commented that they hardly knew the DJ was there — which is great! This was a wedding, not a sweet 16 or bar mitzvah! His unobtrusiveness let us enjoy ourselves and visit with our guests without interruption. Interactions with him and Kim were easy — other than the initial meeting we did everything by phone and email. We found having a DJ to be a great value — we got exactly the music we wanted for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception.

Kim was an excellent DJ! She played all the songs we requested, and the rest of the playlist was a great mix that kept our guests dancing all night long!

We had planned on having laid back wedding and the music was something that was very important to us. We strongly believe that music is a very big part of what makes a wedding great. But we both didn’t like the idea of a “Wedding DJ”. Someone who yells in that radio jockey voice trying to pump up the crowd into having a good time. No Macarena, specifically Kim, was exactly who we were looking for. Sure we went over what we wanted to hear but Kim put her extra special spin on it and one of the things our wedding guests keep mentioning to us is how incredible our DJ was. Her sound system is also incredible. She played the acoustic song for my walk down the aisle and people said they felt like the person was there performing the song live. Zero complaints, only praise. If you want to make your wedding extra special you will look into Kim and No Macarena before you even waste your time researching anyone else.

Numerous brides to be who attended our wedding asked for your information for their future nuptials. Thank you thank you thank you!!!

My wedding ROCKED thanks to DJ Evan from No Macarena. He knew what to play, when to play it to get the crowd going and everyone was on the dance floor from dinner until the end of the night. He stuck to the playlist, talked minimally and when he did it only got the crowd going more. I highly recommend them. Note: I booked with Kim, the owner, nearly a year in advance and she assigned me another DJ who I spoke with and got references for. About two weeks before the wedding, Kim emailed to tell me there was a change and Evan would be our DJ. I was a bit nervous, but Evan made me feel better immediately by responding quickly to my intro email, agreeing to meet me to review our songs and just being friendly, helpful and awesome. It couldn’t have worked out any better.

No Macarena was recommended to me by a friend of a friend who had them at her wedding. From my first interaction with Kim she was upbeat, helpful and professional. Darrell was our DJ and when we met with him to discuss our plan, he was knowledgeable about the playlist and agenda we sent over to him, and clearly reviewed it all thoroughly prior to our chat. He respected our wishes of staying off the mic except for a few announcements (which I think is just their “thing” anyway!) and not allowing any ridiculous requests to be played — but did so in a respectful manner with our guests. He kept the entire night flowing, not just with the music, but with each event that happened (first dance, dinner, etc). The music was appropriate for the time of the evening each step of the way, and he was just truly a great person to work with. We’d recommend No Macarena to anyone, and I hope my friends have them at their event so we can experience it as guests!

Looking back at our wedding video, seeing everyone dancing and having fun was definitely one of the biggest highlights. She was so sweet and we really felt like she was our friend by the end of the night. Plus, you can’t beat the price for the quality they are delivering.

Kim was our No Macarena DJ for our wedding at the Horticulture Center in October 2015. I can’t say enough great things about Kim. I’ve never hired a DJ before and she made the entire process really straightforward and easy. We had a few special needs that evening (our cocktail area was in a separate room, my husband had some very specific tastes with music, and we had a surprise musical guest) and Kim handled everything like a pro! Our dance floor was full the entire night and the energy was great. I would definitely recommend No Macarena to ANYONE in the Philly area.

Dave Beck was the DJ for our wedding day, and he did a great job as MC during the day of. He was very conscientious about making sure our names were pronounced correctly and that everything was timed perfectly during our ceremony. Our big qualm with him was the selection of music that was played on our wedding day. We sent a list of song requests and songs not to play, which he was fantastic about sticking to, but we felt that the music he used to fill in the gaps for our requests was dated and didn’t fit the vibe of our younger crowd. It felt like contemporary music was significantly lacking among his song selections, and we were particularly miffed that he wasn’t familiar with an entire genre that we had specifically requested. Dave was truly a great guy and a pleasure to work with, but perhaps didn’t fit the demographic of our party.

After we had to move our wedding date and lost our wedding DJ, we reached out to No Macarena for help at the last minute. We worked with Christian who was kind and understood what we wanted. He had a great mix of crowd pleasers and our requested songs. We weren’t terribly specific because we wanted some element of surprise and we were pleased with the result. Dancing wasn’t allowed due to Delaware COVID policy, but he really brought a sense of joy without too much energy. To be frank, as the bride I wasn’t paying attention too much to the music, but it was so nice to hear a song I recognized once in a while. We really wanted a party that took care of our guests, and Christian did a great job of maintaining a good mood. I saw glimpses of people enjoying the music and my conservative mother dancing in her seat, so that’s always a good sign! They’re great if you want a reliably good time.

From the first time we spoke, we were impressed by her professionalism and how easy she made things. On the day of, she was prompt, friendly, and flexible as we had to make changes to our day based on the weather. We didn’t have to worry about a single thing as far as the DJ and music was concerned, and that’s a testament to the great service Kim and No Macarena provides! We got compliments from our guests on the music. We would definitely recommend them and use them again at future social events.

We hired No Macarena primarily because it was one of the preferred vendors of our venue. Being that we live 3,000 miles from our venue, we really relied on word of mouth from trusted sources. No Macarena comes highly recommended not only by our venue/caterer, but also from other vendors within the Philadelphia area. From my first conversation with Kim, I knew I wanted to work with No Macarena. She was extremely professional and personable. She worked with us early, and touched base occasionally during our planning. We talked more during the last month, finalizing playlists, going over the ceremony, and finessing the details of the first dances. She worked incredibly well with our day-of coordinator. While we had a playlist, Kim was able to read the crowd to determine what would work and when. I didn’t select every song, but it didn’t matter–each time I looked at the dance floor, there were people out partying it up! No Macarena is not your typical wedding or Bar Mitzvah DJ–there’s no MC-ing, no showboating. Kim knows her music and she plays it.

Awesome, finally a D.J. that caters to the tastes of the people. No cheesy songs or rude interruptions. Hire them for your wedding and it will only make your day better. She drove all the way to Eatontown NJ from Philly for us. The music was perfect and everyone loved her selection of songs, plus you get to give her ideas. The name says it all, NO MACARENA means no more outdated D.J. playing the same boring music that you’ve suffered through in the past. A+

Dave made sure to come early to work through the ceremony music with our soloist and our outdoor ceremony went off without a hitch… thanks to his handy work our guest could actually hear what was going on! He worked well not only with us, but with all of the other vendors to make the whole event run smoothly and get guests out dancing! I’d recomend Dave and No Macarena to other brides and grooms without hesitation!

Choosing to work with Kim Alexander, founder of No Macarena DJ & Custom Music Service, was one of the best decisions we made. I first reached out to Kim in December of 2013 for our October 2014 wedding — she was recommended by one of my coworkers, by one of the caterers we were considering, and by Adriana Robinson (site manager of our venue). She replied to my email on the same day with a copy of her standard contract and some additional site-specific info on our venue. I was sold on booking No Macarena, but my husband wanted to pursue hiring a friend. Four months later we were left high and dry. I frantically sent an email to Kim to see if she was still available. She was prompt in her response and four days later we sent her our $500 deposit. We loved how transparent Kim was with her fees, you won’t find any nickel-and-diming here. Our wedding venue, the Colonial Dames, is a 2-story, early 1920’s house with several beautiful, private gardens. We had our ceremony outside in the garden, moved inside on the first level for the cocktail hour, and then upstairs for our reception. Kim was with us every step of the way from ceremony prelude to the last song of the night. Kim listened to our varied tastes — we requested Pride & Prejudice (BBC & motion picture) music as well as Nirvana, Texas is the Reason, and Alice in Chains — and tailored her selections to our crowd (30% baby boomers, 60% Gen X/Y). Kim was phenomenal! She pulled back on the volume during our tapas style dinner so our guests could mix and mingle without having to shout at one another, then got the party started with some oldies (but goodies) when it was time to dance. We highly recommend Kim and No Macarena.

She was exactly what we wanted in a DJ– someone who would simply give us the best party of our lives.

It is clear that this is group of people who are passionate about music. Both Kim and her staff are responsive, enthusiastic and professional.

My wife and I have some interesting musical tastes. Think: Michael McDonald, ABBA and the Spice Girls. Kim found a way to blend together our ‘must-haves’ with similar songs in the genre and when we gave her our “no play” list, we could feel the high-five through the phone as we could tell she was tired of playing them too. So many guests remarked how our set list was incredible. At a typical wedding, the music hits and misses with a few solid dance songs that get people out there, a few groaners that people begrudgingly dance to and some “huh?” songs that people use as an excuse to nibble their dessert or grab another drink. At our wedding, it was non-stop dancing and fun and our guests let us know how awesome it was. Thank you Kim!

Josh was great! We had a fairly simple reception planned, and he was easy to work with and suggested some things that we hadn’t thought of. We also had a massive playlist for the reception that he was able to pull from and put together into a cohesive dance party! Great value for the service!

We went with No Macarena because they were a recommended vendor from our venue, and I’m so glad we did! Kim was really down to earth and easy to work with. We wanted to go with a mix of mostly 60-70-80’s pop and rock music, and Kim definitely got our vibe and kept the dance

I gave him the most absurd and random list of songs that my now-husband and I might like to hear, and somehow he was able to figure out our taste from that. He really seemed to get us and what kind of songs we wanted to hear throughout different parts of the day. Everyone had an amazing time and said how great the music was, and we asked him to stay later than expected so we could keep dancing. Loved him and totally recommend him!
Sarah
Kim was fantastic! She made our dreams come true for our wedding. She took the time to understand our eclectic tastes in music, and was very communicative during the planning process. Highly recommended!

No Macarena was so easy to work with! We had Kim. She was very helpful and made it so we didn’t have to worry about anything and we had people dancing all night.

Darrell was wonderful, kind, and fun to work with – he completely understood the type of party we wanted to throw, and helped put together the best soundtrack comprised of songs we selected and playing off the mood of the crowd. Everyone had such a blast on the dance floor – can’t thank Darrell and No Macarena enough! I would recommend to anyone!

My wife and I attended our friends’ wedding a few years ago which Kim DJ’ed. We agreed at that wedding that we would use her for ours when the day came. She was the first vendor we hired after booking our venue and we couldn’t be more pleased. She was amazing throughout the entire process and really went out of her way to make the day perfect. My wife and I have very different tastes in music but Kim was able to fuse the two and provide an amazing soundtrack which everyone is still complimenting us on. We have already recommended her to our friends and family.
Dan
Did everything we wanted and more! So great – people are still telling us how terrific our music was and they almost forgot to eat, they spent so much time on the dancefloor!

Kim was an excellent DJ! She played all the songs we requested, and the rest of the playlist was a great mix that kept our guests dancing all night long!

From the first time we spoke, we were impressed by her professionalism and how easy she made things.

We got compliments from our guests on the music. We would definitely recommend them and use them again at future social events.

Leading up to the wedding, Kim and Darrel were responsive and helpful. On the night of the wedding itself, Darrel was amazing. He had everyone dancing the whole time. It could not have been a better experience!

She then put us in touch with Dave who was our DJ. He was able to put us at ease with his experience and he seemed open to helping us achieve the vibe we wanted. My husband and I put together an extensive list of our preferred songs and Dave was able to weave them together to create a great mix that lasted through the night. Amazing vendors really allow you to enjoy the day to the fullest extent and Dave and No Macarena DJs were definitely a big part of that!!

Even with having to change our wedding guest list from 100+ to just 25 people due to the pandemic, Dave had the entire group up and dancing all night long. They were responsive to all of our needs and checked in for support throughout the entire planning process. Dave was also absolutely wonderful handling requests from our kiddos in attendance and made them feel so included. Hire them immediately!

I loved everything he played, especially during the cocktail hour and dinner. He provided and set up the sound system. The music sounded great and the microphones worked perfectly. Evan did all the announcements we asked for, but the rest of the time he focused on the music. That’s exactly what we were looking for. Working with this company is extremely easy. I found them to be very responsive. It was a good value and the price was comparable to the other DJ we interviewed. I would definitely recommend this company and especially Evan

We are SO happy that we chose to work with No Macarena for our wedding. Jonas was our DJ and he was great from the start. We had a call with Jonas after we submitted the form with our suggested songs and he was completely on the same page with what we were looking for. There were a few songs that he suggested removing to create a more cohesive theme and he helped us think through the flow of the entrance, first dance and cake cut. We were planning to have our friend play guitar and another friend sing for the ceremony. The night before the wedding, the guitar player let us know that his flight was cancelled and he wouldn’t make it to the wedding. We emailed Jonas to see if he could handle the music for the ceremony and, even though it was 11 at night, he emailed back right away saying that he could help. He gave suggestions of songs to play and worked with our friend who was singing to play background music for her song. We are so grateful that Jonas saved the day! The dance floor was packed the entire night and everyone was raving about the music. We had said people could request songs but asked Jonas to not play any line dance songs. One of our young nieces requested a line dance and Jonas, realizing who she was, sought me out to see if we were ok playing it. It was really thoughtful of him and totally made her night. We highly recommend No Macarena and can’t thank Jonas enough for the fantastic job he did at our wedding.

We provided her with a list of some songs that we liked, and she was able to curate a great playlist from that. Not only was Kim a fantastic DJ, but she was great to work with. She clearly has a lot of experience and did a great job of taking the lead with planning. Going into the wedding day, we felt confident that music for the ceremony and reception was something we did not need to be worried about!

We initially thought we’d do our music ourselves, but when it became clear we weren’t prepared to do that, we contacted No Macarena just a couple of weeks before our December wedding. They moved quickly and set up a time to discuss by phone what we had in mind for our wedding. They asked all the right questions and thought of details that never would have occurred to us. We had asked our guests who RSVPed through the website to name a song that would get them dancing. We gave our DJ, Josh, this rather eclectic list along with a considerable list of our own requests, including a number of foreign language songs (Italian) that I’m sure were not part of his usual lineup. He honored them all and did an excellent job of choosing other songs based on our tastes, reading the room and taking us seamlessly through different musical styles. Everyone from the disco-loving aunts to the Miami Reggaeton-fan cousins danced, and even my music snob friends commented on how much they liked the music.
Mary Migliozzi
We had such a good feeling about Kim from our first meeting, and she did not disappoint. She took our playlist and ran with it. No flash, just good music, and that’s exactly what we wanted. We kept saying, Kim just “gets it”! Our dance floor was packed all night!

Boy was I wrong! We spent most of the night dancing with everyone and anyone. The dance floor was so packed that I saw a lot of people dancing in the corners of the room having the time of their lives…haha. It was such a fun wedding and a lot that had to do with Kim. She picked such great music and I heard almost everything I requested at some point during the evening. She was great to work with leading up to the day as well and very quick to respond which I really appreciated. Thanks for everything!

After we had to move our wedding date and lost our wedding DJ, we reached out to No Macarena for help at the last minute. We worked with Christian who was kind and understood what we wanted. He had a great mix of crowd pleasers and our requested songs. We weren’t terribly specific because we wanted some element of surprise and we were pleased with the result. Dancing wasn’t allowed due to Delaware COVID policy, but he really brought a sense of joy without too much energy. To be frank, as the bride I wasn’t paying attention too much to the music, but it was so nice to hear a song I recognized once in a while. We really wanted a party that took care of our guests, and Christian did a great job of maintaining a good mood. I saw glimpses of people enjoying the music and my conservative mother dancing in her seat, so that’s always a good sign! They’re great if you want a reliably good time.

At the beginning of the reception my mom gave Josh a list of traditional Greek wedding song requests (which were NOT on the playlist we submitted) and Josh, hero that he is, found and played them all and made a lot of Greek people very happy.

No Macarena was recommended to me by a friend of a friend who had them at her wedding. From my first interaction with Kim she was upbeat, helpful and professional. Darrell was our DJ and when we met with him to discuss our plan, he was knowledgeable about the playlist and agenda we sent over to him, and clearly reviewed it all thoroughly prior to our chat. He respected our wishes of staying off the mic except for a few announcements (which I think is just their “thing” anyway!) and not allowing any ridiculous requests to be played — but did so in a respectful manner with our guests. He kept the entire night flowing, not just with the music, but with each event that happened (first dance, dinner, etc). The music was appropriate for the time of the evening each step of the way, and he was just truly a great person to work with. We’d recommend No Macarena to anyone, and I hope my friends have them at their event so we can experience it as guests!

He spoke on the phone with me a week before the wedding and was so detail focused that he helped me with things I didn’t even think of! All of our guests said how awesome the music was and how great Josh was! I also loved that he made sure to run things by me if it wasn’t on the list or thought I might have a problem. He was super personable and wasn’t talking on the mic the whole night (which really annoys me when DJs do that!). I would recommend No Macarena (especially Josh!) to everyone!

Kim of No Macarena is a breath of fresh air after attending so many weddings with sub-par DJs. So many guests complimented our music selection and even the volume (which allowed some guests to chat while others danced). I’d highly recommend Kim and No Macarena.

No Macarena was hands down the BEST choice we made for our entire wedding! From our first correspondence they were very responsive and easy to work with. Our DJ Evan absolutely nailed it! We were worried people wouldn’t dance at our reception but we didn’t need to be, Evan kept everyone on the dance floor literally the whole night! He played a perfect mix of modern and classics, everyone from my friends to my grandparents complimented us on it. My sister-in-law surprised us by booking him to play for our after party and he kept us dancing until 1 am! It was such an incredible, energy-charged night and Evan was such a huge part of making that happen, we can’t thank him enough! No Macarena has really reasonable prices as well, I cannot recommend them more highly.

Great! Kim was flexible, full of knowledge, & current. Price was great! If you do not want a cheesy MC shoving a mic into someones face or heading a conga line, this is the DJ for you. She will be as present or in the background as you want.

My husband and I have been to several weddings where, despite instructions otherwise, D.J.s will begin to play cheesy music totally out of sync with the couples style. We were hoping to avoid that. Prior to the wedding we submitted a list of songs we liked to D.J. Jonas. He called us and provided really good feedback on the list. He understand our taste in music and made a few good suggestions on songs we could add that would cater to some of our older guests. At the wedding, D.J. Jonas was great. He really took charge of organizing our fairly large wedding party for introductions and stuck to playing the music he requested. The day after the wedding, one of our guests complained that D.J. Jonas, despite taking some requests from guests, refused to play the Kelly Clarkson song she requested. That is when I truly realized D.J. Jonas’s value! I am so glad he stuck to our tastes and refused to play that song. He’s great

Kim was our wedding DJ and she did an incredible job! I loved working with her. She was so helpful in coming up with the perfect playlist and even developing the timeline for the wedding. She worked with me to make sure my cousin and uncle (the family musicians) could play while I walked down the aisle and provided three extra microphones to allow this to happen. She read the room perfectly and played the perfect songs at each moment, transitioning seamlessly. She even put up with my husband had many, many song requests. It was a joy working with her and I would recommend her to anyone who is doing a wedding in the Philadelphia area!
Anne Duckles
No Macarena was a pleasure to work with. We didn’t have to give them a playlist or even very much direction – they know just the right balance of accessibility and quality to pull together a great party that isn’t cheesy. Totally friendly, easy and great rates. We loved it! -Sam & Adam

I’m the first to admit I’m a bit of a music snob/geek and I’d have to say one of our top priorities for our wedding was to make sure we had good music and no cheesy DJ taking the focus away from the MUSIC! When I found No Macarena I knew they were right up our alley and we booked them, it was the 2nd thing we booked after the venue. Kim was our DJ and she was awesome! We needed music for our outside ceremony, the inside cocktail hour and reception so there was a lot to coordinate but the transition was so smooth and the sound was great. Kim worked from an extensive list of songs that we suggested and of course a “do not play” list. She also knew exactly what other similar bands and songs to play based on our tastes. I can’t say enough about No Macarena and Kim, they are professional, classy and play amazing music! The success of our wedding could not have been possible without them. Thank you!
Jaime
No Macarena was a great choice for our wedding. They helped us personalize the ceremony to match a variety of musical tastes. Josh was a great DJ and helped us plan the timing of the event. We highly recommend them for any couple looking for a personal and fun musical atmosphere.
Alison & Greg
They did a great job! Our DJ took our suggestions and added in some choices of his own that really worked with our style. He was great at announcing everything and movie the night along.

Kim the owner is lovely and easy to work with! The prices are very reasonable she is willing to work with you on prices. Another DJ did our wedding since the owner had surgery. They really listen to what you want and do not want in terms of music selection

Leading up to the wedding, she was great to communicate with – answered emails promptly and entertained all of my silly questions. The music was incredible, she knew exactly what to play to make everyone dance – old and young alike! We got compliments on the music all night, and for months after the wedding. Multiple people have even asked me for her contact info! They say that good music makes a wedding, and we couldn’t agree more. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!

In 2003 I was at a wedding and heard a Bjork song during the cocktail hour and thought, “Wow, who is this DJ!?” I went to the DJ table and took the business card. It was No Macarena and I was 19 years old. Ten years later, my best friend got married and the DJ was really on the mark, so I asked my friend who the DJ was and she said No Macarena! So I didn’t really shop around for a wedding DJ. My husband and I had had fun making a playlist of music we thought would be fun to hear at a wedding. I shared it with Kim so that she could get a read on us, and she wound up playing a lot of it, which was great. We had entertained the idea of just using that playlist on an iPod and foregoing having a DJ, but we’re so glad we had Kim there to keep the party going. The price was very reasonable, and we were so happy with the whole event.

We were incredibly happy with “No Macarena” for our wedding. The owner Kim was very friendly and professional. She listened to what we wanted and gave us exactly that. She got people on the dance floor. We got compliments all day about the great music selection. I would definitely hire them again for another event!

Kim was fantastic and had great taste in music! We gave her a lot of leeway for song selection, and we got so many compliments on the music we had to tell our guests we didn’t pick them! 🙂 Kim was also very helpful with setting up the microphone system for our ceremony. This wasn’t part of her own system, but we didn’t know how to set it up ourselves, so she stepped up and went above and beyond what we’d originally asked. We LOVED our experience with Kim!!

We found and hired Kim from No Macarena because of her slew of amazing reviews as a down to earth, friendly, and non-cheesy DJ. She definitely delivered! We really hate when DJs essentially harass guests into dancing or participating in wedding activities (garter toss? just….no.) so we immediately clicked with the company’s name. We had a couple of wrenches thrown into the reception, and Kim responded quickly and with grace. She’s flexible and is so professional that she doesn’t mind if plans need to change. In fact, it began POURING the hour before our outdoor ceremony and we stubbornly insisted on continuing plans for outside. Kim went along with it and made us feel better 🙂 Our friends had a great time dancing, and my favorite part by far was circling up in a huge group to the last song, “Closing Time.” Because ’90s.

We came across No Macarena online because we were drawn to the name! My husband and I had recently been to a couple weddings where the music was a little cheesy and the DJ hogged the mic all night. We were looking for something that didn’t remind us of a Bar Mitzvah from the 1990s… From our first phone call with Kim, we felt reassured that we had made the right choice with No Macarena. Kim was a great vendor to work with- she was always very professional and responded to our calls or emails promptly. Even more important, she was receptive to all our music requests. But we didn’t have to micromanage and give her a list of all the songs we wanted played- we just gave her a general outline of our musical tastes and she seamlessly filled in the blanks. On our wedding day, Kim was just wonderful! She provided sound systems for both the ceremony and reception and we had no technical or sound issues whatsoever. But the best part was how in tune Kim was with our guests and the “vibe” of our dance party. She seemed to be able to pick the perfect song to get the crowd out on the dance floor. We only wish we could have kept the party going longer! Kim of No Macarena was an amazing DJ and we highly recommend her!

We recently had Dave dj our wedding. He was fantastic and we’d absolutely use No Macarena again for another event. Dave was on time, he introduced himself, was very friendly and easy to work with.

We discussed requests prior to the wedding, we shared some styles of music we liked and Dave did the rest. We asked for a subtle Philly theme and he provided that by playing some hits without us having to give him exact details. The whole crowd was up and dancing for the entirety of the night. Thank you again so much, everything was fantastic.

No Macarena was great from start to finish. It made for a very lively wedding. She played all our suggestions and filled in other fun stuff. A wonderful DJ!

Our DJ MADE our wedding. We had, literally, the best day of our lives. We were referred to No Macarena by another couple. Kim, the owner, answered all of our questions/emails in a very timely/friendly manner. A customized sheet asking for requests/do not plays and information was given out specific for our event. Our DJ, Dave Beck, took into consideration our special requests and many of these slower, personalized, songs were played during the cocktail/dinner time. Requests were taken throughout the evening and no one stopped dancing. I cannot say enough about this company.

We were so happy we went with No Macarena. Working with Kim via email leading up to the wedding was a breeze, even though we were planning our wedding in PA from CA. Evan was our DJ for our reception. He was great to work with and very professional. My husband and I met as radio DJs in college, and therefore had an insanely detailed list of must play songs, requests, and no plays. He was very cool about going over our requests and suggestions the week before, and was able to play a lot of what we asked for. He did a good job organizing the wedding party line up to go into the reception, and played the songs we wanted for the wedding party entrance and our entrance. I was thrilled that everyone’s names were pronounced well. He made sure that we did the father/daughter and mother/son dances, and played the songs we wanted for the cake cutting and last dances. As promised, he stayed off the mic, and only used it to announce things which we had talked about. He did a great job setting up the second sound system for the ceremony outdoors. We are so glad because our guests could hear the ceremony and vows, which made a huge difference. The level of music was perfect during dinner, and during dancing it was loud enough for people dancing, and not too loud for people talking in the back. He was able to fit in a lot of what we wanted to hear and honored our no play list, which was awesome and the reason why we wanted to work with No Macarena.

We had an excellent experience with No Maracena and DJ Josh Landow for our wedding. My wife and I used to live in Latin America and had a lot of Latin music that you wouldn’t find on most playlists – Josh took the time to find all the songs we requested, helping to make it a memorable night. Josh also offered to record the ceremony and the toasts after dinner for a small extra charge. It’s not something that we would have thought to do, but we’re very glad now to have this as an extra memento.

Awesome to work with, great music, flexible, reasonably priced. Everybody at our wedding had a blast and commented on our music selections! As advertised, there was no hokey music or lame group activities. Other than the bridal party intro and toast intros, the DJ stayed silent and just kept the dance floor active. Bonus points

As advertised, there was no hokey music or lame group activities. Other than the bridal party intro and toast intros, the DJ stayed silent and just kept the dance floor active. Bonus points for fact that the No Macarena DJ for our wedding was none other than Y100 YNOT’s Josh T Landow. I got to relive some local Philly 90’s rock! Josh did a great job!

No Macarena provided us with a sound system for our ceremony and then supplied great music during our reception! The dance floor was packed, and we all had an absolute blast! DJ Danny Madonna was the best. Thank you!

Oh do we love this DJ company! My husband was the last of three to get married in his family, and his two older brothers used this company when they both got married. They play what YOU want. Our DJ (Ken) was not over the top — he had just the right amount of interaction with the crowd. We gave him a VERY comprehensive list of what to play and what not to play — and he followed it to a tee — and even easily changed it up when things weren’t getting going. If you want no ‘cheese’, this is the company to use. We needed him to play our ceremony music, too, and he did a fabulous job. When our guests made requests, he was able to accomodate them quickly. We highly recommend them — and Kim, the owner, is organized and incredibly helpful!

We provided her with a list of some songs that we liked, and she was able to curate a great playlist from that. Not only was Kim a fantastic DJ, but she was great to work with. She clearly has a lot of experience and did a great job of taking the lead with planning. Going into the wedding day, we felt confident that music for the ceremony and reception was something we did not need to be worried about!

We are thrilled with our decision to work with No Macarena and Danny Madonna in particular. Everyone we spoke with was very informed and helpful in letting us know what we information we need to provide, and decisions we needed to make. We decided against walking down the aisle and opted out of a few of the traditional wedding moments, and Danny helped create a very smooth experience for us and our guests. We are music lovers, so we came with a lot of music recommendations which he primarily used. When he went off script (which he was allowed to :)) the music was still great. The guests had so much fun and so did we. Cannot recommend enough!
Brigette Reichart
Kim was truly amazing! She was so sweet, communicative, friendly, professional, and a delight to work with. The music could not have been better! Everyone commented on how amazing the playlist was all night long. She made our big day so special and so much fun! We couldn’t thank you enough!

She was attentive to detail, incredibly knowledgeable, asked great questions to figure out our taste, and made the whole process super easy and fun. My now husband and I have quite an eclectic taste in music and we had some unique requests for dinner/cocktail hour – she absolutely nailed the song selection for the night and we seriously could not be happier. Our guests (almost all 165 of them, from all different age groups) were up dancing ALL night – from the first song ’til the last. We loved how simple everything was and how easy Kim was to work with.

My now-husband and I were initially against the idea of a DJ, until we saw what the cost would be for a live band. As we started looking for alternatives, we quickly realized that not all DJs are made the same. No Macarena was EXACTLY the type of DJ company that we never knew we always wanted. None of the obnoxious/random yelling from the DJ booth and none of the cheesy line dances. We were lucky enough to get Kim Alexander, owner of the company, and she was awesome! Numerous people told us how great the music was at our wedding, from the prelude to the last song, and our guests kept the dance floor full at all times! Kim was professional, sweet, and very easy to work with. She played all of our “must-plays” and NONE of our “do-not-plays”. From the list of songs/artists we gave her, she NAILED our musical style for the entire 6 hours. We had such a wonderful experience working with Kim and No Macarena. We can’t thank you enough!

Kim was an absolutely amazing DJ for our wedding. My wife joked that I was a bit of a Groomzilla about the music, but that’s just because I know that’s what really makes a wedding. Once we saw Kim I knew we had our DJ. She has an immense knowledge of music and knew exactly what to play and when to play it. We were able to talk beforehand and give her our ideas for what type of music we liked and she created an awesome set off of that. She was especially helpful with selecting the perfect music for that dinner/post dinner time before all the real serious dancing begins
Dan T
We had Darrel as the DJ for our wedding! Darrel had great energy, he did not take over the mic like some DJs do and led the night perfectly. He was very easy to talk to and everyone loved him!

Kim the owner is lovely and easy to work with! The prices are very reasonable she is willing to work with you on prices. Another DJ did our wedding since the owner had surgery. They really listen to what you want and do not want in terms of music selection.

I’ll admit that what piqued my interest in No Macarena first was the excellent name. As soon as my now-husband and I spoke to Kim, though, we realized that the name was far from the only fantastic thing about the company. The whole ethos of helping to pick our own music was brilliant (and a blast for my music-loving husband). Even more brilliant? Joe, our DJ, who was such fun to talk to that I’m pretty sure we all gabbed for an hour each time he called to check in, and who worked flawlessly with our suggestions to create the perfect soundtrack to the whole day. He also had a mic ready to go when I lost my voice and needed help croaking my way through my vows, rolled with requests to rearrange songs on the spur of the moment, and emcee’d exactly the moments that needed managing without ever being intrusive. We lucked out beyond measure with Joe and No Macarena; I’d recommend both in a heartbeat!

We had a great experience with No Macarena! Kim was very easy to work with as was our DJ Darrel. We gave relatively loose instructions, but our DJ Darrel did an awesome job and had the whole room dancing. Thanks again!

We firmly believed in hiring great professionals for our wedding, and letting them do what they do best. We gave Darrel a list of our first dance songs, and a list of songs we liked, but not a specific play list. He took those “indicative” songs and ran with it. He played a great mix of oldies & newies, and the dance floor was full all night.

Dave Beck was our DJ for our micro wedding this year and he was an absolute pleasure to work with. He took the time to really understand what music we wanted and how we wanted the evening to flow. From the ceremony music to the reception music, the toasts to the parent dances, and our last dance and send off, he was on the ball. He incorporated our music into music that our guests loved, and really made the night feel like it was ours. We even had a few surprises we wanted to do and Dave executed them flawlessly. He was a wonderful DJ and emcee and we have already asked for him to be ours at our anniversary party next year

He played everything for the ceremony that we asked and exactly on cue. Our reception was awesome and it was largely because the music was exactly on point and what we had requested. The dance floor was full the entire night. Dave has a great personality – he interjected himself when necessary to move the night along but he never made himself the center of attention. We were extremely impressed as were all of our guests. Thank you very much!

We were lucky enough to have Kim DJ our wedding, and let me just say, she could not have been more perfect! She was absolutely wonderful to work with – incredibly friendly and very professional! We discussed our musical interests a few days before the wedding, and she worked her magic to make our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception AMAZING! She was able to flawlessly provide music for our outdoor ceremony, barn cocktail hour, and pavilion reception at the John James Audubon Center without missing a beat! At some point in the night, my husband and I noticed that there were only about three guests sitting at the tables – Kim had everyone dancing ALL NIGHT! Aside from that, we had an amazing time, and guests are still talking about how great of a time they had, especially thanks to the DJ for keeping the party going! I would highly recommend Kim and No Macarena for your wedding, or any other special event. Absolutely perfect!

My wife and I have some interesting musical tastes. Think: Michael McDonald, ABBA and the Spice Girls. Kim found a way to blend together our ‘must-haves’ with similar songs in the genre and when we gave her our “no play” list, we could feel the high-five through the phone as we could tell she was tired of playing them too. So many guests remarked how our set list was incredible. At a typical wedding, the music hits and misses with a few solid dance songs that get people out there, a few groaners that people begrudgingly dance to and some “huh?” songs that people use as an excuse to nibble their dessert or grab another drink. At our wedding, it was non-stop dancing and fun and our guests let us know how awesome it was. Thank you Kim!

DJ Evan Hoffman was amazing! We met with him before booking and we knew he was a perfect fit for our wedding. Evan was enthusiastic, attentive, and was genuinely happy to be part of our special day. We gave him a long list of songs we wanted to play during cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing and he played every single one of them without hesitation. He also seemed to find the perfect sequence for our song list and played each song at the right moment. When our venue offered an extra hour for our reception due to problems with the air conditioner, Evan was more than willing to stay. We made this extra time “all request hour “ and Evan played every one of our guests’ requests, even more obscure songs. Everyone commented on how great the music was thanks to Evan. He truly went above and beyond for us. Thank you for making our day so much fun, Evan!

Josh Landow was a great pick for our wedding, and Kim was very responsive and wonderful in coordinating with us throughout the process. Josh was great in communicating with me prior to the wedding through e-mail and phone. He was always quick to respond no matter how many questions I sent him (and believe me, there were a lot). He talked me through the entire ceremony, what songs we were going to play, and what times they were playing to ensure that everything was going to be just right. He played exactly what we suggested on our “play list” and did not play anything at all or like our “do-not play list”! He was very accomidating in setting up different sound systems for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception which were all in different locations at the Morris Arboretum. Overall, we had a wonderful DJ experience 🙂 Thanks!

Dave Beck was our DJ for our micro wedding this year and he was an absolute pleasure to work with. He took the time to really understand what music we wanted and how we wanted the evening to flow. From the ceremony music to the reception music, the toasts to the parent dances, and our last dance and send off, he was on the ball. He incorporated our music into music that our guests loved, and really made the night feel like it was ours. We even had a few surprises we wanted to do and Dave executed them flawlessly. He was a wonderful DJ and emcee and we have already asked for him to be ours at our anniversary party next year.

We had Jon Gill as our DJ from No Macarena. He was very responsive to our suggestions & limitations of music. My husband, being a musician, is very picky about his music & Jon did exactly as we requested.
