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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

We got married on 6/30/18 and Kim provided the perfect soundtrack for our wedding! She was accommodating and easy to work with.

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

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!

No Macarena was wonderful! Our DJ was Kim, and she was terrific. She was responsive and easy to work with, and she was very flexible and tuned into what my husband and I wanted. The day before the wedding, we realized it might be hard for guests to hear if we didn’t have a microphone

Kim was AMAZING! She was so supportive of our music vision and was willing to work with our “no-play” list which was fairly extensive and got our music taste immediately.

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

We had Kim for our wedding, and she was absolutely fantastic. We gave her pretty much free reign (aside from a “no play” list) to play whatever she thought would work, and she did a great job keeping everyone dancing. I know No Macarena sells itself on being out-of-the-way DJs, but I asked Kim to

We used No Macarena for our wedding on 6/7/19. I would HIGHLY recommend them. Right from the start Kim was very responsive and professional. We chatted on the phone and I felt like they definitely understood the vibe we were looking for for our wedding. We went ahead and booked with Jonas – LOVED HIM!

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…

No Macarena provided such value for their price that I almost feel like we robbed them!

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

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

We choose No Macarena based on a recommendation from another couple that had them DJ their wedding, and we are so happy we did! Our DJ Evan Hoffman did an fantastic job keeping the party going, the dance floor was full the entire night. He is personable and outgoing, and in our pre-wedding meeting made

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

We hired “No Macarena” DJ & Custom Music Service for our recent wedding, and we could not have had a better experience.

Our experience working with Darrel from NoMacarena couldn’t have been better. Their process of having you fill out your preferences far ahead of time put our minds at ease. Later Darrel was in contact with us to make sure we were all on the same page. He was knowledgeable, polite, professional, and a mixed together

D.J. Jonas from No Macarena D.J.ed our wedding on March 31, 2012. 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

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

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.

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.

Kim at No Macarena is awesome. It was important to us to find a DJ who just wanted to play music and not constantly attempt to engage the audience and/or talk incessantly on the mic. Kim did just that–she was cool, sat back and played amazing music! People are still telling us how awesome the

Awesome to work with, great music, flexible, reasonably priced. Everybody at our wedding had a blast and commented on our music selections!
