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.

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!

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

Kim was super easy to work with and we handled everything that she needed pre-wedding from us in just a few emails and one phone call. Kim did the music for both our ceremony and reception and it all was great, including a last-minute switch indoors due to rain. She executed just what we had in mind and we even had multiple guests comment on what a great job she did. Definitely would use again.

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!

Great experience. We didn’t want some 80s style cheesy DJ, so we booked No Macarena after a friend used them for their wedding and we all had a great time. My dad did bring a CD to have a song played and they didn’t have a CD player like we were told he would, but that’s a small complaint. All in all, everyone had a blast.

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 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, 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!

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!

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

And, most importantly, they *didn’t* play the things that we explicitly asked them not to. There was an issue during our reception with one of the speakers, that kept cutting out, but Kim and Evan refunded me a significant portion of our deposit after the wedding to make up for it – and honestly, I would use them again.

All communications were organized and friendly. Such a nice perk being able to add all of the songs we wanted played! They did an incredible job mixing our playlist, with all of the uplighting and also providing live drums!! We are so glad that we found and booked their services!!

Kim at No Macarena is awesome. It was important to us to find a DJ who just wanted to play music and not constantly attempt to engage the audience and/or talk incessantly on the mic. Kim did just that–she was cool, sat back and played amazing music! People are still telling us how awesome the music at our reception was. Kim was very helpful throughout the planning process as well–she answered all of our questions in a timely manner and provided insight and suggestions when we asked for them. We highly recommend No Macarena!!

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

We 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.

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.

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

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!

“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 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!

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.

My wife and I attended our friends’ wedding a few years ago which Kim DJ’ed. We agreed at that wedding that we would use her for ours when the day came. She was the first vendor we hired after booking our venue and we couldn’t be more pleased. She was amazing throughout the entire process and really went out of her way to make the day perfect. My wife and I have very different tastes in music but Kim was able to fuse the two and provide an amazing soundtrack which everyone is still complimenting us on. We have already recommended her to our friends and family.

No Macarena was a pleasure to work with. We didn’t have to give them a playlist or even very much direction – they know just the right balance of accessibility and quality to pull together a great party that isn’t cheesy. Totally friendly, easy and great rates. We loved it! -Sam & Adam

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!

Sarah and Chris were absolutely wonderful. We had a hard time finding a DJ that meshed well with our personalities until we found Sarah and Chris. They took the time to hear what we wanted and make suggestions. The actual day was a dream! They read the crowd, played our favorites and were great with the announcements. Any changes or requests were promptly accommodated. We also got our open air photo booth through them which was a huge hit. The attendants were very friendly and great with the kids in attendance.

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

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!

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

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!

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!

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

We 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 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!

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

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.

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

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.

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 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!

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!!

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

Pete was our DJ and was great to collaborate with to ensure that we made the perfect playlist for our guests. No Macarena very much adjusts to the personality of the couple, and they are more than happy to accommodate to any timeline and music preferences. With Pete’s help and guidance, our wedding guests were on the dance floor all night!

We could not have asked for a better DJ than Darrel. He did a phenomenal job of knowing exactly what our guests wanted to hear. My husband and I have extremely different tastes in music, and somehow Darrel figured out how to keep both of us happy AND keep our dance floor packed all night. So many of our guests complimented us on our song list, and we had to tell them that Darrel deserved full credit; we told him what we generally like and dislike and let him run with it, and he absolutely crushed it. Plus, we told Darrel that volume and sound quality are important to us, and he made sure that the music was loud enough to keep the party going but that we did not have to shout to have conversations. We’d give more than 5 stars if we could!

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.

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!

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!

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!

She drove all the way to Eatontown NJ from Philly for us. The music was perfect and everyone loved her selection of songs, plus you get to give her ideas.

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.

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

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!

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.

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 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!!

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

My Bride & I were thrilled with our wedding experience with Sarah & Chris of No Macarena. From the professional and easy going process of walking us through how we wanted our wedding to go, to delivering a well done live performance, as well as dj set to get our people out on the dance floor for close to four hours.

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! 🙂

That’s not what we got- everyone was on their feet from the minute the dance floor opened up. Evan, our DJ worked with the general list of artists that we liked and really catered to everyone, young and old. My husband’s aunt even told us it had been 20 years since she and her husband danced! I would highly recommend them.

Great communication and clarity throughout the process of planning music for a wedding cocktail hour and dinner with Kim and Josh. Despite our own mixed messages about what we wanted, Josh put together a mood that got praise and good vibes going throughout our event. Highly recommended!

They were very easy to work with and gave us a form to fill out that helped us help them get our vibe and some info about the day. 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!

I can not say greater things about Dave and No Macarena DJ for being so patient, flexible, and kind helping us reschedule our special day. This vendor really has their brides and grooms best interest during such uncertain times. After hearing so many horror stories from other brides about rescheduling their weddings, I could not be more eager to let others know about such an amazing vendor to work with. We can’t wait to have Dave help us celebrate our big!

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!

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

Our 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.

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

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

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!

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

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!

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.

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.

After extensive research, we decided to hire No Macarena for our wedding DJ. Dave Beck was our DJ and he was great!! 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.

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.

He was easy to communicate with and we trusted him with the flow of the entire evening. The dance floor was packed from start to finish and our guests remarked at how much fun they all had. Thank you Jonas!

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.

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.

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

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

Our DJ Joe was so easy to work with before the wedding. I gave him the most absurd and random list of songs that my now-husband and I might like to hear, and somehow he was able to figure out our taste from that. He really seemed to get us and what kind of songs we wanted to hear throughout different parts of the day. Everyone had an amazing time and said how great the music was, and we asked him to stay later than expected so we could keep dancing. Loved him and totally recommend him!

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.

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

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

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