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.

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!

Our guests loved her so much they even pulled her out on the dance floor for a song! She did a great job at reading the crowd and playing exactly what they wanted to hear. Our dance floor was crowded for the entire reception, which was our dream come true!

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 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!

No Macarena provided such value for their price that I almost feel like we robbed them! They came highly recommended from a co-worker as a DJ that wouldn’t take over the wedding and play cheesy line dances, (unless you really want them to! ). I communicated with Kim leading up to the event, and she

No Macarena provided such value for their price that I almost feel like we robbed them! They came highly recommended from a co-worker as a DJ that wouldn’t take over the wedding and play cheesy line dances, (unless you really want them to! ). I communicated with Kim leading up to the event, and she has things down to science. It was easy as pie to contract and keep organized. We were assigned Dave Beck who reviewed our son picks and then spent 20 minutes with me on the phone testing out what I thought about other like songs/styles. The day of, he was on time, professional and approachable. The music was everything we asked for and many crowd favorites that we wouldn’t have thought of. He had everyone dancing without a hint of cheese or wedding cliche. And you know the DJ killed it, when, after the last song, the crowd on the dance floor begins to chant, “One more song!”

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.

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!

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 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!

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!

Sarah and Chris were INCREDIBLE. They had an easy but detailed form to fill out to make planning super simple and straightforward. They were very responsive and checked in often through and calls and emails leading up to our wedding. There were a lot of questions that we didn’t have answers to that they took care of, and were super knowledgeable about every single step. At the wedding, they were not only amazing DJs who kept the crowd dancing all night, but they also provided live acoustic music throughout the ceremony and cocktail hour. Chris emceed the entire event flawlessly. He hyped up the crowd leading up to every announcement and was accommodating and supportive when we asked for last minute changes. Finally, they checked in after our day and sent us beautiful photos from the DJ booth. I had a completely stress free event thanks to them, and I would recommend them to literally anyone for their day.

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.

My husband and I got married on 4/21/23 and we cannot say enough positive things about “No Macarena” DJ! From the beginning we had great communication and clear understanding of pricing and details. We were assigned Jonas early on and when we connected with him a few weeks before our wedding, we knew we got matched with the perfect DJ! He took the time to go through our lists of songs and spoke to us over the phone to confirm everything. We had to make a slight adjustment to the order of things the day of the wedding and he rolled with the punches. We wanted to make our wedding day feel special and intimate and the music was a huge part of that – they delivered! The dance floor was packed all night and guests of all ages were tearing it up. Jonas transitioned the songs seamlessly from all the different song genres we picked out. Our family and friends are still raving about how much fun they had at the wedding. I cannot recommend this company enough! Thank you so much!

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

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.

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.

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 an excellent evening of music using both our exact requests and inspired pairings from his wealth of experience. Darrel was amenable to changes during the reception as well. A couple times I went over to him and made a very specific music request and he did his best to accommodate. Our wedding wouldn’t have been nearly as fun without his excellent work as a DJ. We certainly recommend NoMacarena and, specifically, Darrel Asbury.

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!

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!

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!

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!

My partner and I were married in early September, and we had an amazing experience with Rod Pluviose through No Macarena! We initially booked with No Macarena back in November 2022; it was an easy process to get started, and then we didn’t really think much more about it until a couple months before the wedding. No Macarena’s policy is to wait to pair you with a DJ until a couple weeks before the event, which was somewhat stressful for us — but the moment we connected with Rod, we were at ease. He was so warm, personable, and attentive! We met via Zoom to connect and talk through what we were needing and hoping for with the music for our wedding (ceremony, cocktail hour and reception). He asked the right questions, and we felt confident that we were all on the same page leading up to the wedding 🙂 And everything went so smoothly on the day-of! The dance floor was full from the moment it opened until the last song — partially because we have family and friends who love to dance, and partially because Rod is so skilled at reading the room. We’d highly recommend working with him!

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.

The music was great and was so fitting for every part of the reception. They did their job wonderfully and just let the music run the event. The music was great and was so fitting for every part of the reception. They did their job wonderfully and just let the music run the event.

We booked No Macarena for our wedding in September, and Darrel Asbury was our DJ. Kim was so responsive and helpful with the booking process, and Darrel was AWESOME. 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!!!

Honestly, I had the time of my life… there was never a lull in the party… the dance floor was packed!

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 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!

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

Chris’ piano renditions of the songs we chose for our ceremony were beautifully performed and exactly what we envisioned. Zach took the time to listen to our vision and made great suggestions for the cocktail hour and dinner playlists. He incorporated our song requests for the dancing playlist and did a fantastic job keeping the crowd engaged and dancing for the whole reception. Finally, our guests loved the photo booth — the background and props were so fun! We highly recommend No Macarena DJ!

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.

They made the whole process of booking very simple and worked with us to understand the kind of music that we wanted to hear. Rod did an amazing job throughout the actual event. He really understood our music taste and the general vibe of the room. Even the guests who don’t like to dance were still grooving in their seats! Can’t say enough about what an amazing job he did. As a bride, the whole day is a blur so it’s important to have vendors and a team that you can trust to take care of what’s needed. Rod and No Macarena totally nailed it and helped make the whole evening run smoothly.

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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.

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 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

Fantastic DJ! I was contact with the owner and the DJ that worked my wedding reception. I had a long conversation with the DJ before the event in order for him to understand what music my groom and I wanted to be played. He was very easy to talk to and understood exactly what we wanted. The music played during our cocktail hour, dinner and dancing was perfect. Guests danced all night long and wanted more music once the reception was over. The DJ traveled from Philly to Cape May, NJ for the wedding for a minimal travel cost. It was well worth it! I recommend this DJ to anyone!

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 couldn’t have asked for a better experience, thanks!

We couldn’t have been happier with Evan from No Macarena. We provided a list of artists and songs we like and don’t like and he created an amazing playlist from that. 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 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.

I went to another wedding that used No Macarena as the DJ at the same venue where I got married, so when it came time to pick a DJ, I didn’t need to do too much searching since I’d already had a blast with No Macarena before! 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!

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!

Which, to us, was one of the most important pieces of the event! Highly highly recommend, especially if you’re into crafting your own playlists with the help of a skilled DJ.

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!!

We got to pick our own playlist, and our wonderful DJ, Rod, went above and beyond to make preparing the songs and the night itself seemless and perfect. Rod gave us a wonderfully personal touch and was flexible whenever we needed to make tweaks to the program or songs. He also sent us songs before hand so we could double check that what he would play during the first dance etc was exactly the version we wanted. The owners also had a baby while we were planning and still went out of their way to help us. I would recommend no macarena to anyone!

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.

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 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.

Alex set up a microphone for our outdoor ceremony and the whole DJ set up at our outdoor reception. It POURED. Alex quickly saved his equipment, but still got our officiant the microphone he needed to keep the ceremony going. They were also able to move everything for the reception inside last minute and it was an absolute party. Alex could not have been more accommodating. Everyone had an absolute blast dancing the night away and taking photos at the photo booth. Meghan was tremendous. Alex took our provided playlist and made it a night to remember. Truly could not recommend them more. No macarena was a huge part in making this the best night of our lives!

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!

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

Kim from No Macarena was amazing! I was a little concerned since my venue had two separate areas for eating and for dancing so I thought it might be difficult to get people up on the dance floor. 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!

We couldn’t have been happier with our service from No Macarena. We threw Kim a few curveballs day of and she nailed them all. Kim felt out the vibe of our crowd and carried on accordingly. Easy to plan and work with.

Josh Landow was the DJ for our wedding and he was awesome. We discussed the timeline and music the weekend before and he had a number of helpful suggestions. On the night, everything flowed very nicely and Josh did a great job at checking in with us at key points on the schedule (introductions, speeches, first dances, etc). Guests were giving him tons of compliments during the dancing. Overall, extremely professional and kept everyone on the dance floor. Couldn’t ask for anything more!

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!

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.

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! 🙂

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

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!

DJ Rod was so detail oriented and took so much time in advance of the wedding to make sure our day was special and cater to our individual tastes. Our guests had a blast and so did we! He played all the songs we really wanted and didn’t leave any out which was so important to us. We also utilized No Macarena’s photo booth services and that was better than we ever could have expected! High quality photos printed for our guests and sent to use digitally after! Don’t hesitate to work with this company, they are amazing!

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

Jonas, our DJ, was great to work with and the call we had the week before was so helpful. He really understood what we wanted and delivered! We got so many compliments on how great the music was and we had people on the floor all night! Plus, NM is super reasonably priced for the great service they offered. Thank you so much for making our wedding so much fun!!

Blown away. These two words genuinely can’t say enough about these guys. Our wedding was anything but normal, but Chris and Sarah of No Macarena made sure the live music and DJ set was above and beyond what we could have expected. Their deep love for what they do and for music itself was evident throughout the entire process. While putting everything together, Sarah and Chris asked detailed questions to make sure the ceremony and reception were exactly what we wanted. Some of the questions I had never even thought of, but they knew exactly how to make the event flow music-wise. They were very communicative in the time leading up to the wedding too, which we absolutely appreciated. The day of, they were early and ready with their setup well before guests started arriving. Sarah provided live acoustic guitar and singing for the ceremony while Chris made sure the sound was on point. (My husband is a musician too so the sound quality was VERY important and Chris definitely delivered.) Sarah’s voice though! The passion and soul in her voice provided the most romantic atmosphere as my parents walked me down the aisle. No Macarena took our extremely random song requests for the reception and used their professional experience to help them all make sense together. As an emcee, Chris kept the energy up and was extremely personable as we’d hoped our DJ would be! The lights they provided created an energetic atmosphere, which I wasn’t sure could even happen for a micro wedding! No Macarena maintained complete professionalism while being two of the most personable people my now-husband and I have ever met. I seriously thought about how much I would love to be friends with them! There is no doubt in my mind that I want to hire them again. The whole experience with them was phenomenal and I’m already hoping that we can have another event just so we can be around their DJ skills and musicianship. Like I said, No Macarena blew us away!

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!!

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!

“No Macarena” DJ was absolutely wonderful! I wanted a DJ that I could request specific music, and I am grateful I found them! Chris and Sarah were great with accommodating my requests, as I wanted dance floor lighting and equipment for karaoke. Our DJ, Peter, allowed us to choose songs for each part of the night. I gave him a few playlists, and he played what I wanted. I have been to so many weddings that don’t respect the couple’s wishes. “No Macarena” respects you, listens to you, and follows through. Peter’s DJ table was also super fun, and smaller– which worked wonderfully as we were in a smaller venue. I wanted a DJ that would let me play whatever I wanted, and prepare a karaoke song– and I got just that! They are truly a custom music service.

We had a great experience with everyone at No Macarena – the owners, Sarah & Chris, and our DJ, Rod – and would happily and highly recommend them. Sarah was always very professional, encouraging, and very quick to respond to any questions we had. She organized an initial call to get to know us better within a day of us sending them a message. Neither of us were based in the US at the time, and they were very accommodating to have zoom calls with us. Our DJ, Rod, was fantastic. He was very accommodating and not at all demanding, which is a great combo. He was very happy to work with whatever we wanted and had. He took the time to read our timeline and plan for the day, and made sure to have a call with us so we were on the same page. His execution of the ceremony, spotlight dances, table dash, toast, it was all perfectly on point. He also adapted very well to how the day was going. He kept the crowd on the dance floor the whole evening and night, so much so that we didn’t get to talk to all of our guests properly! Thanks again for making our day so special!

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!

We had Josh for our wedding on September 27, this past Saturday. HE WAS AWESOME! 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 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!

Dave Beck with No Macarena did our wedding this Saturday and his attention to detail and style helped make our event the wedding we wanted for ourselves and our guests. 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!

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!

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 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.

Jonas did such an amazing job, we were blown away at the playlist and everyone kept coming up to us saying how good the music was. We might be self-proclaimed “indie-heads” and didn’t want anything too cliché, but also wanted everyone to be up and moving on the dance floor. Jonas handled it with ease.

The sound quality was amazing and the vibe was impeccable. Sarah and Chris were also great in the organization process making it all very seamless and easy. Thank you again for everything and helping to create what was the most perfect night! NoMacarena absolutely killed it!

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!

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!

We could not have been happier with No Macarena on our wedding day! Kim was so easy to get along with, at one point, she even helped calm me down when another vendor had upset me. 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!!!!!!!

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.

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!!
