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.

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!

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!

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! 🙂

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.

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

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!

We were so excited to have Kim as our DJ. She was incredibly on ball with the type of music we wanted to play and we had a lot more people out on the dance floor than we had originally thought. 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.

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.

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

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 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.

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! Thanks Dave!

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.

We had one coordination meeting by phone and a few follow up emails to provide her with a list of song/artist requests beforehand. We also sent her a Spotify playlist songs people like to dance to (we are not pop music people). Kim did a great job sequencing songs through cocktail hour and dinner and then transitioning into dance music. 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 sent him a list of songs we wanted to hear and we also had a call with him a week before the wedding to make sure we were all on the same page.

Also, Kim was very easy to work with and very responsive when we were booking them.

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!

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.

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!

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!

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.

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

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!!

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 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!

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 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 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.

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.

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!

Darrell Asbury of No Macarena were exactly what we were looking for – a solidly good, easy to work with, didn’t need a whole lot of direction kind of DJ. 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.

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.

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!

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

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.

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!

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!

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!

Would highly recommend working with Christian!

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.

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 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 do a few things like narrate an anniversary dance (which everyone LOVED) and make announcements about the toasts; she did all this perfectly and without the awkwardness that you usually hear from DJs at weddings. I was very impressed with her low-profile and professionalism, not yelling into a mic to get people to dance and not sounding like a car salesman; we really appreciated this aspect of No Macarena. Kim also provided a standing microphone for my brother who played his guitar for our first dance – free of charge! Definitely recommend her.

Ken Buono was our dj, and did an excellent job executing our “must play” list, and then forming a pretty good feel of other songs we’d want played. He definitely had people on the dance floor throughout the entire reception!

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 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!

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!

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!!!!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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 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.

No Macarena is very easy to communicate with, and our pre-event meeting with Josh was super helpful to finalize our vision for the music. 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.

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!

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!

We had the pleasure of having the duo of Mike and Joe for our wedding. They were absolutely incredible. Prior to the wedding, we had a phone call where we went over the thorough google doc provided by No Macarena about the music we were looking for for our wedding. They confirmed everything we had and asked great clarifying questions. They were very professional, showed up very early to make sure all their equipment was set up correctly, and communicated well with the event staff and my husband and I. Music is wildly important to both of us and we truly believe that the DJs can make or break a wedding. Joe and Mike MADE our wedding. They understood that we had a young crowd and we gave them the instructions of “keep everyone on the dance floor”. I can honestly say that once the dancing started, my husband and I never once left the dance floor. Joe was able to read the room like a book. He was able to build off of everyone’s reactions to what he had played before. Mike was great as our MC. He only cut into the music when necessary and went over the pronunciation of everyone’s names numerous times with us for introductions and nailed them all. At the end of the night, we requested a “Emo power half hour” and they DELIVERED. We received so many compliments about the music and had numerous people tell us it’s the best music they’ve ever heard at a wedding. I told Joe and Mike that I would recommend them to anyone getting married and I mean it!! We can not thank them enough for making our wedding unforgettable and the greatest party of the century. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!

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!

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.

This service was amazing for our wedding celebration. Our DJ Jonas really understood what we were going for and had a lot of great suggestions. Chris and Sarah were helpful and communicative all throughout, and Chris made it a point to learn some unusual special requests for the live music portion. We got a live duo for cocktail hour, a 3-hour DJ, and a photo booth. They were all huge hits. No Macarena absolutely made our celebration complete, they are worth every penny.

Peter from No Macarena did a great job! We did not have many “dancers” in our group, but he did a fun mix and got folks out on the floor. And Sara and Chris (the owners) were great to work with. Amazing!!

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!!

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.

I sent him a list of songs, and he really got the feel for what kind of music we were into. (Apparently one guest complained about how loud the music was, but I didn’t see the problem!) He kept everything on schedule (toasts, cake cutting, etc), and people were dancing all night. Highly recommended.

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!!!!!!!

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.

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.

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

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 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.

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!

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!

Boy was I wrong! We spent most of the night dancing with everyone and anyone.

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!

He was a pleasure to work with; he adapted to our somewhat challenging venue seamlessly, and he was helpful with questions we had leading up to the event.

Best of all, he had a great sense of humor, which showed through some clever song selections, so we had a ball. Even my sixty year-old mother thought Darrel did a great job, and that is high praise.

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!

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.

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!

Got married in the Philadelphia Distilling Company, and Jonas was our DJ. Kim was super helpful setting everything up and recommending DJs that were available, and very affordable pricing. 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.

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!

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!

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!!

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 now husband, family and friends had a BLAST with Jamya via No Macarena DJs! There was excellent communication before the day of and we felt confident that they understood our vision for the day. My husband works in music so it was a big deal for us on the day-of. The ceremony music was played without a hitch (I barely even coordinated this and it turned out perfectly!). Jamya did a perfect job of playing our requests while reading the crowd and keeping people on the dance floor. I danced almost the whole time! We got several compliments on the music in the days after our wedding which is always a plus! Highly reccomend Jamya and No Macarena–wouldn’t hesitate to hire them again!

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!

We cannot recommend No Macarena enough! The process was super easy, selecting our options was super clear and the end result was fantastic. Our DJ Darrel totally understood what we were looking for and how we wanted everything to go. So pleased!!!

We absolutely loved working with No Macarena from the very start. Our DJ Josh was so great to work with, took our playlist we provided and made the whole evening flow perfectly. He kept the energy up all throughout dinner and had everyone out on the dance floor all night. Highly reccommend!!

No Macarena provided fantastic DJ services for our ceremony and reception. We began planning with founder Kim Alexander, and based on our date she connected us with DJ Josh Landow. The planning process was incredibly easy, and Josh walked through the actual event with us over the phone the weekend before. The audio for the ceremony was perfect, we think the cocktail hour was great (we were off taking pictures, of course 😛 ) and the reception went off without a hitch. Wedding party introductions, toasts, first/parent dances–Josh kept everything flowing without any distracting “DJ chatter.” Best of all–our dance floor was packed! Thanks for making it such a fun party!

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!

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.

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!

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!

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!
