We wanted a fun wedding without the constant chatter of the dj in the background and that's what we got! We loved Rob from the first interview! He listened to us very carefully and was thoughtful, knowledgeable and understanding about the kinds of music that we wanted. He collaborated with us on the music, providing feedback, thoughts and suggestions. The set up was excellent for our needs and he fully understood the sequence of events at the wedding from start to finish. He was also flexible, adjusting the music and responding to requests on the spot, as well as responding to the mood of the room. Our guests (and staff) loved our wedding, and Rob was a major element in making that happen! We can't thank him enough!

Joe was great and personable. He was definitely excited by our music choices and it showed on our wedding night. Aria Melody rocks!!

John Sinclair did an amazing job! He had everyone up and dancing before dinner was served! He was very professional – meeting with us several times and really getting a sense of who we are. Wish we could rewind and do it all again! Go with ARIA Melody and John Sinclair, you can’t go wrong!

I was so incredibly pleased with Aria Melody. John was wonderful to work with. Everything was extremely tasteful and well done. John has some amazing ideas and cleaver playlists that that we used to compile the perfect mix for the reception, bridal party entrances, dance floor, cake cutting, etc..... Our guests said that they have never had so much fun at a wedding......THANKS Aria Melody!!!....A perfect 10!

Owen was amazing, he made our reception a great party! he played all the right songs and knew when to bring it up and slow it down. He made the night about my husband and I and our friends. He really listened to what we wanted and made it better. He met us a couple times and made wonderful suggestions, not only about the music but about the flow of the night. He made sure no one was talking too long and people were never bored. I highly recommend Owen.

John was our DJ for our wedding. We had our wedding the Saturday after Hurricane Sandy and John went above and beyond to make sure that he was going to be able to make it to our wedding with all his equipment; and he did! We both had no power the week of the wedding and he STILL made sure he kept me informed. John played the music for our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. Everyone absolutely LOVED the music...and John's suggestions were wonderful and exactly what we were looking for. All our guests said that the ceremony sounded like it was out of a movie and people were on the dance floor all night long! We could not be happier with John and Aria Melody; we would recommend him to anyone!!!! :)

Owen came to our wedding and played exactly what we wanted him to. He was helpful, intuitive, and understanding. Our wedding was also the week of Hurricane Sandy and he was still there early. I would highly recommend using them.

Love, love, love the wonderful job Owen and Aria Melody DJ did for my wedding. Owen worked with me to create perfect playlists for my ceremony, cocktail hour and reception! People are still talking about the music! Even the staff at the reception was singing along as they were serving dinner! They are worth every penny! Owen was an absolute doll! He was professional, approachable and responsive. I wish i could give them 10 stars.

John of Aria Melody was amazing. Through the whole planning of our wedding, he was nothing but helpful and supportive and didn't put any pressure on us. He coordinated the wedding party to walk down the aisle which he did not need to do but stepped up when he saw there was no direction from other staff. He immediatley got our party going and turned into a all out 5 hour dance party. We had such a good time and his music selections were so relevant and so spot on we added a extra hour when we knew the night was coming to a end. We LOVED working with John, and we recommend him for any style wedding.

Music was such an important part of the wedding for us and John was by far the most easy-going and easy-to-work-with DJ with the best taste in music. Neither of us wanted someone that would make the wedding feel more like a cheesy Sweet16 by constantly talking but rather we wanted someone to feel out our guests and play music to get everyone in the mood for a fun night. John did just that! Everyone commented on his great selections and we had everyone from every age group up and dancing! The best part was his work on our processional, which to me had to be this all-encompassing movie-worthy moment and he timed the music perfectly so that we kissed at the exact right moment and it was beyond perfect! We can't thank John enough and would recommend him to anyone looking for a great DJ!

Owen spun for the dance party we held after our wedding and was absolutely fantastic. He totally understood what we were looking for, and kept people on the floor dancing the whole night. John organized everything and was totally responsive whenever we had a question or needed to make arrangements for the party. I would use Aria Melody for any future party and recommend them wholeheartedly.

John was a total professional from beginning to end. His only priority was making the music at our wedding awesome and he didn't self promote at all. Aria is the WAY TO GO if you are aren't into the typical cheesy NJ wedding DJ scene.

Owen was our DJ for our 8-19 wedding and he was fantastic! He was very responsive and super nice throughout the whole process. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ. He did our cocktail hour and reception and he totally listened to our suggestions and requests. He kept the people on the dance floor and there were even boo's when he had to announce that dinner was being served and we needed to be seated! No one wanted to leave the dance floor! We had a great time and I have the blisters on my feet to prove it! I wish I had another event I could book him for! Highly recommend him!

Aria Melody DJ did an absolutely incredible job on our wedding day! John was easy to work with, let us decide the music we wanted for our day, did not interfere with cheesy talk or announcements, and provided the atmosphere we wanted...fun! We were really passionate about not having fog, strobe lights, dumb jokes and all that nonsense that goes along with most DJs...and Aria Melody delivered. It was nice after talking to John not to have to worry, "would the music be right for our reception?" He took a lot off our plate and made our day even more enjoyable!

I was so thrilled that we chose Aria Melody as the music for our wedding. Owen was the consummate professional and went above and beyond for our wedding. He made suggestions for songs and the schedule of events. He also remembered all of my personal requests for individual songs, times of the night, and set an amazing atmosphere. EVERYONE was on the dance floor all night long! We have quite the eclectic taste in music and it flowed seamlessly because of Owen. He even took the time to recognize whether a song would be too long and made suggestions for its length before I even thought about it. A few times I recommended the editing of a song and he already had thought of it and done it. It was like he read my mind! He has an ear for music and knows the right songs to play for your atmosphere or crowd. You cannot go wrong with choosing Aria Melody. They are well worth the money because the music makes the wedding, and it was amazing! Thanks so much, Owen.

Owen was phenomenal! We loved him and all of our guests did too. If we ever have another event that we need a DJ for we're booking him.

Owen was a pleasure to work with. He was, by far, the nicest and most accommodating vendor we hired for our wedding. He struck the perfect balance between being receptive to our preferences and making suggestions based on his experience. Most importantly, the music was fantastic!! Owen had people on the dance floor the whole night. Afterward, our guests were raving about how much they loved the music. We couldn't agree more.

Awesome DJ! Joe from Aria Melody DJ was great. No typical wedding cheeziness just good music and a few announcements. He kept the crowd lively and helped us to craft a playlist that was unique to our wedding. He was even good about rolling with the punches when we decided on a last minute bouquet toss/garter fling. Thanx Joe, and Aria Melody! You really helped make our day one to remember.

Aria did an excellent job, honoring our song requests and throwing down their own quality spin at the same time. They provided no issues, but rather made their service look effortless. Excellent job!

We had a terrific experience with Aria Melody. John is a consummate professional and it shows from the first meeting to the day of the wedding. We loved John's accessibility and his suggestions when it came to picking entrance songs, etc. We enjoyed and appreciated being able to select certain songs and genres, eliminate others and then having John weave all of the music in to one cohesive evening. John did both the music during our ceremony as well as the reception and the transition was seamless. We are fans of Aria Melody and would recommend them to anyone interested in hiring a DJ.

Our experience with Aria Melody and Owen as our DJ could not have been better. We found Aria Melody through recommended vendors on numerous wedding websites and the rest was history. Our initial meeting with Owen was informative, casual, and gave us a real sense of the company's professionalism and attention to our desires. He was able to talk to us about what he envisioned our wedding to be like and help us fill in the gaps we were unsure about. Every email we sent him was quickly responded to, even up to the morning of our wedding when we were still making last minute decisions about music choices. As for the wedding itself, I have had more people ask about our DJ than any other vendor. The dance floor filled up before the food was served, which is exactly what we wanted, and there was never a lull in the party the whole night. Our wedding was attended by people as young as 20 years old and as old as 87! Everyone complimented the music and Owen was able to determine the right selections for all the different points in the evening. If you are looking for a DJ for your wedding, do yourself a huge favor and hire Aria Melody.

Aria Melody & Owen did a fantastic job DJing our wedding. We couldn't be happier. We got so many compliments on the music. Owen's song selections were perfect. I didn't provide him with a last dance selection but he selected the two songs I probably would have picked if I were DJing. Amazing! I highly recommend Aria Melody to anyone looking for a first-class DJ for their event.

Amazing experience all around with John at Aria Melody DJ. He was attentive, patient and all around professional. We met twice before the big day to discuss our music tastes and ideas - he was very helpful in answering questions and accommodating to make things work they way we wanted. On the wedding day the music was perfect - he followed our requests for music as well as improvised to match the mood of the wedding. He also was very attentive to the timeline of the night and made sure everything went smoothly. Words can't describe how great our experience was working with John - 200% recommendation. Thanks again John for helping make our wedding day amazing!

John truly made our wedding a night to remember! I envisioned a night of fun and dancing and it was so much more than I could've imagined!! We danced the night away and friends and family are still telling us how they loved every sngle song that was played and never wanted to sit down! John was friendly, professional and there every step of the way. Highly recommended!!!!

We could not have asked for anything more from DJ Aria. He played all of the music we requested, in addition to his music that seemed to go perfectly with our crowd. He was extremely professional, and followed through on his promise of no "cheesiness", which was very important to me and my wife! He's a great guy to with work with, very knowledgeable and confident about what he provides, and he definitely backs it up on the day of the event. We never worried once about what to expect from him, which was nice because we had plenty of other things to worry about! We HIGHLY recommend him if you are looking for a DJ.

We worked with Owen for our wedding and he was amazing!! He was extremely professional, responsive and easy to work with. The dance floor was packed all night and we're still hearing compliments from our guests about the music! He really got a sense of what we wanted and his music selection was spot on! Save yourself the time and headache and go with Aria Melody- we are so grateful to have found them, they made our wedding fantastic!

Working with Owen from Aria DJ was a breeze. He was so thorough and friendly throughout the entire process. He wasn't afraid to question things and offered great recommendations. I feel so lucky to have had him DJ our ceremony and wedding. When I woke up this morning I had so mant texts and emails from guests who said they had such a great time, and that the music and DJ was awesome. The guests danced all night, and my music list was pretty all over the place (my fault), so Owen did a fantastic job of blending all the different genres together and making the entire crowd happy. I cannot recommend Owen and John from Aria DJ highly enough. You will have a great seamless experience if you choose DJ Aria for your wedding.

John is a perfectionist. From the moment we met him we knew he was the right DJ for us. He is not cheesy and does not scream into the microphone like so many popular NJ DJ’s. He is a true class act. He even worked with my maid of honor to create the best speech (rap) I have ever seen.

Choosing a DJ for our wedding felt like a huge undertaking: the mood of our reception seemed at stake as we were throwing a party for our nearest and dearest, and choosing a soundtrack for the most important commitment of our lives. Then we met John from Aria Melody DJ, and everything changed. Right away, we knew we'd found a consummate professional and the perfect DJ for our wedding. John is a pleasure to work with, expertly versed in music, creative and intuitive in putting together playlists, and he executed a flawless evening for us. There's a reason that Aria Melody is consistently rated 5 stars across wedding sites: John is a talented, top-notch DJ who brings class and elegance to his work. Book him right this second.

Our wedding was exactly what we wanted it to be...a fun party! Everyone had a blast and gave so many compliments on the music and flow of the night. Highly recommended!

Our wedding was awesome! The weather was cold and wet but you would never know from the warmth inside. Everyone was dancing from start to finish. We couldnt have asked for anything more!

We could not have been happier with Owen from Aria Melody DJ! When we first met Owen for coffee to discuss the music for our wedding, we immediately felt like he understood us as a couple. Before getting into specifics, we spent some time getting to know each other and talking about our favorite bands. His laid-back, personable demeanor made us feel like we were hanging out with a friend rather than meeting with a vendor. We had some very specific requests but we were also looking for suggestions, and Owen recommended songs that fit in perfectly with our playlist. On our wedding day, we were very impressed with Owen’s professionalism and ability to seamlessly transition between each part of our reception. During dinner, he played all of the songs that we had requested and mixed in a few of his own. We were amazed that Owen’s selections were some of our favorite songs! He knew our personal style so well that we could just relax and enjoy the wedding without worrying about the music. During the dancing portion of the night, Owen did an incredible job blending well known pop songs with some of our more obscure selections. He kept the party going on the dance floor the entire night, and our guests could not stop raving about him. After the wedding, many of our friends told us Owen was “the best DJ they’d ever heard!” We cannot stress enough how positive our experience was with both Owen and John from Aria Melody DJ. There are many difficult tasks that go along with planning a wedding, but working with Aria is not one of them. Make your life easier and book them NOW!

Thank you for bringing our cocktail hour and wedding reception to life! The guests at our wedding were so energetic and thrilled with every song selection, and you really had the dance floor filled the entire night! Thank you again for being such a fabulous DJ!

Aria Melody is class personified. Very professional. He brings himself and his DJ booth. No inflatable saxaphones or tacky party favors. He caters the whole night to what you want, when you want it. From the time we met him until the time the night was over, John is always responsive to your requests, whether it's a quick email or if you want to meet with him in person to go over pronunciations of names. He has the perfect taste of old and new music, and I guarentee your guests will only be sitting down to eat dinner. I absolutely recommend him, and already have.

Owen was our DJ for our Wedding this past October and we loved him! Before the Wedding both Owen and John were very quick to answer any of our questions, help us find important songs and Owen even helped us gently speed up our First Dance song which we thought was just too slow. During the Wedding his ques were spot on. Its with great confidence that I recommend both Owen and John. They are both great people, with a full arsenal of music in their database that satisfied our guests of varying ages and styles. Aria Melody is professional, responsive, talented, and classy. They are a no stress vender which, when planning my wedding, was very much appreciated. Use them!

Aria Melody was exactly what we were looking for in our wedding DJ. They are amazingly professional, in a friendly easy going way. When we met with Owen, who was our DJ, we just liked him instantly and we knew he was the right guy for the job. Both John and Owen were quick to answer questions not just limited to the music but the overall wedding. Now let's talk about the music- incredible. We are music buffs ourselves so it was important for us to have some of our favorites but also have people on the dance floor. Owen was able to take our list, and fold those in with some of the more popular dance music. Everyone was dancing start to finish! People have kept telling us just how awesome the wedding was and that had a lot to do with the music. Thank you so much Aria Melody!!

Very professional service and classy DJ'ing. The DJ'ing was great because (1) followed our song selections, (2) professional voice and demeanor as DJ (no wacky voice-overs and over the top DJ talking), (3) nice guy, and (4) good value. People had a great time.

We loved working with Owen from Aria Melody DJ! My husband went over a lot of details and music with him and always found him friendly and responsive. He was prompt and did all his set up and sound checks without us even knowing it! His music was great and he never came out on the dance floor or shouted into the mic which was the #1 thing we DIDN'T want. Very pleased over all!

Aria Melody DJ did a fantastic job for our wedding. Our DJ, Owen, was so easy to work with. Leading up to the wedding, he helped us craft our playlists and came up with great suggestions as needed. In talking over our music selections with him, it was clear that he understood exactly the type of atmosphere we were looking to create with our music choices. Owen's work on the day of the wedding was perfect. We had a non-traditional reception venue that came with a variety of logistical challenges (cocktail hour outside, dinner in two separate rooms inside, and dancing in yet another room, with outdated and in some cases broken electrical hook-ups throughout the old building), but Owen figured out the best plan and executed it seamlessly. While dancing was going on following dinner, he even managed to have a separate, more low-key playlist continuing in the dinner rooms for guests who wanted a more relaxed environment. In addition to all that, Owen also came early to provide audio support for the ceremony in the garden outside the venue, which was basically the fifth separate space for which he needed to provide speakers. I honestly have no idea how he accomplished all of this by himself, but he did it flawlessly and without any sign that it was a challenge at all. I just can't say enough about what a huge role Owen played in making all parts of our wedding day a success. And all of that is not even to mention that the music he played was exactly what we wanted. For cocktail hour and dinner, we provided Owen with a mix of suggestions that ranged from classic Sam Cooke/Otis Redding, to more modern Wilco and Arcade Fire, and he managed to blend all of our choices perfectly. And he did the same on the dance floor, starting out with classic songs that all of our guests enjoyed dancing to, and then getting into more modern options as the evening got later. Finally, Owen did not draw any attention to himself at any time throughout the night. He just let the music speak for itself, which is exactly the type of DJ we were looking for. I am so glad that we hired Aria Melody DJ. We recommend them whole-heartedly.

Aria Melody DJ was great! No complaints whatsoever. Not an "emcee" party animal type of DJ, so if you want that, go elsewhere. Aria Melody is classy and elegant - unintrusive - and has an excellent selection of music. Vendor is VERY responsive. Not one email or call I made went unanswered; all responses were prompt and thorough. Would definitely recommend Aria Melody. :)

Owen and Aria Melody DJ were perfect. Owen was professional (look and demeanor) and he took the time to get to know us as a couple so that he was able to understand both our musical tastes and the atmosphere that we wanted to create--then he nailed it. All the guests danced for hours and we had a great time. I think the best thing I could say about this company is that we didn't have to worry about them. Planning a wedding (and the wedding day especially) is very hectic. Finding vendors that you know you can count on and trust is key--Owen/Aria Melody was that vendor for us. Everything one could want in a DJ (unless you want cheese and synchronized dancing).

From day one John & Owen worked with us to create the amazing party we dreamed of. Owen fulfilled all our musical requests as well as throwing in some fun surprises as well. He was professional and did an amazing job. Everything from the ceremony music to the last dance was perfect!

Owen did a great job as our DJ. He was in constant contact leading up to our wedding, making sure he had all of the details, people's names, song choices, etc. The day of the wedding went off without a single mistake. All of the songs we chose were played and he did a great job reading the crowd and keeping everyone up and having fun. You can't go wrong using this company.

My guests are still raving about Owen! Owen was amazing you need to book him for your wedding! The music he played kept everyone on the dance floor all night long. He was extremely professional and just did a beautiful job. I still have friends raving about Owen and how he played the best music and also how sweet he was! We love Owen and cannot thank him enough for making our wedding a celebration that no one will ever forget. Great job Owen you truly are the best!

From the very first meeting with Owen, we knew he was the right DJ for us. We wanted someone who played the music we selected, and only made the announcements we asked him to make - no laser lights or loud invitations to come to the dance floor. Owen did not disappoint. On top of that, he was incredibly responsive to every question and email, and didn't complain once as we changed the song list right up until the end. His patience and professionalism exceeded our expectations. He even came to a walk through with the caterer, at no extra charge. We strongly recommend Owen!

John was the best. He was very kind, smart, and has great taste in music. He totally blended seamlessly with the wedding, set the entire vibe for a fantastic night, and was really nice to work with. I hope to use him again for another event someday!

We are so happy that we hired John Sinclair as a vendor. He is always professional, personable and best of all he's an amazing DJ! Leading up to our wedding he reached out to ensure that we were prepared for our formal dances as well as the dinner and dancing portion of our wedding. He is always quick to respond to emails and calls if you have any questions or concerns. We had a lot of ideas for him and he made everything happen flawlessly. The dance floor was packed the entire night and we received many compliments from our guests on the fun vibe that was created on our big day! If you are looking for a sophisticated, fun and memorable reception John will definitely not disappoint!

Owen did a fantastic job at our wedding. He incorporated our desired play list with a great mix of new music. It blended well and the vibe in the room was excellent. Not for a second did Owen try and bring any attention to himself. He is a class act. I was dead against paying for a dj and now I am glad we did.

I can not say enough about John!!! From begging to end he was a true professional. He was accommodating to our entire playlist, and gave us input and quick responses when we needed it. It was a Grade A experience working with John on our weeding and all of our requests were meet with 100% compliance. John doesn't need lights and fog to make a statement, his ability to keep a party going says it all. The lights went up at our wedding and people were still there-- not wanting to leave--the sign of a great party-- the sign of a GREAT DJ!!

We looked long and hard for a wedding DJ that wasn't obnoxious, tacky and aggressive and that we felt would understand the kind of music and atmosphere we wanted to create at our wedding. We found all that and more in Aria Melody. Our DJ Owen was incredibly responsive, professional, and knowledgeable...not to mention a general nice guy. He did the music for our ceremony as well as the cocktail hour and reception, and indulged our exacting demands on editing the length and timing of the music to match the number of people in our processional. The music and the transitions and timing were all executed flawlessly. We highly recommend them!

I was planning my wedding with a limited time schedule and John Sinclair was flexible in every respect. His musical assortment left no stone unturned and he went above and beyond his scope of DJ . It was very clear to me from the moment he approached us that he genuinely cared about making our day perfect. Additionally , every outlandish and obscure song my friends asked for , he had. Not in any sense your typical bells, whistles, smokescreen kind of DJ. Definitely recommend. Unbelievable value. as well as proffesional and

I knew just by looking at the Aria Melody website that John would almost definitely be our DJ. After 30 minutes of sitting down with him, he was the first and last DJ we met with. I wanted exactly what he was promising - none of the cheesiness that almost comes hand in hand with most DJs, the shouting over the songs, the dancing with crowd, the constant announcements - and he delivered just like his tag-line. John was extremely professional, he mixed the list of songs that we gave him with some amazing song choices throughout the night that may as well have been on our list! I was initially a bit worried about the mixing of song genres - but any crossover was totally smooth and perfectly blended. He completely exceeded my expectations - I have never been to a wedding where people are on the dance floor before the first course has even been served! Yes, he's THAT good! He also sticks to the "Do Not Play List" and has a good feel for things that you would shut down even if it's not on the do not play list. Throughout the night we were REALLY thankful for that! If I could give more stars I would because he is EXACTLY what we wanted in a DJ. John is completely tasteful, professional, and he will work with you or help you if you have any trouble with song choices. For us, the music is what really makes the wedding, so this vendor was the most important to us. Aria Melody DJ could not possibly disappoint you. John is amazing and you can tell just by talking to him that he has an extensive music catalog not only on his computer, but in his head. Thanks for making our wedding, John!

I was thinking about throwing in a couple 4-star scores just so everyone reading this would think it's more believable, but that would be dishonest. 5-stars all the way. There's not much else to say other than Aria Melody was perfect for us. John was everything we wanted in a DJ and nothing we didn't. His customer service skills were top-notch, basically doing anything and everything we asked him to. He was prepared and professional and the reception went perfectly. If you care about the music that plays at your reception at all, Aria Melody is perfect for you. Really, with everything he did he actually helped make the best day of my life even better.

John is the best! Of all our vendors, he was the most organized and quick to respond to every email of ours. He spent a very long time trying to help me find a specific type of music for our introduction and it was perfect. We got exactly what we wanted...a great party that had the dance floor full, with music we either picked or within the styles we told John we liked. He had a great feel for timing and the flow of songs were spot on. If you want a DJ that is running the show instead of trying to be in the middle of it, John is who you want. No excess talking, no self promoting during your event, and very professional. So much so that a bridesmaid already recommended John to her brother in law! John, many thanks for a day that ended way too soon and best wishes for your own wedding to be just as perfect as you helped make ours!

John was wonderful from the moment we met with him. He was professional, friendly and was very easy to work with.We loved the idea that we both shared the "nothing cheesy" mindset as in no unnecessary talking/announcements, line dances and loved his music suggestions. He played everything, Motown, Hip hop, indie rock, pop and was great with helping us choose the right music. He was helpful,accommodating, and easy to get in contact with until the very last minute of the wedding which was great because I am soooo indecisive. All in all we loved having John as our DJ, the music was great, EVERYONE had a blast, and our wedding was perfect. Thank you for everything John!! It was such a pleasure to have you be a part of our special day.

John did an awesome job at our wedding. He was 110% professional but laid-back and fun; played all the music we wanted to hear; and we heard from both my parents and best man alike that it was the best wedding music they'd ever heard. We definitely appreciate how detail-oriented he was throughout and we just had an incredible time dancing the night away. We would definitely recommend him to friends getting married in the area in the future. All the best, Marian and Kaya Stone

We recently worked with John for the music for our wedding. John provided dinner music and dancing music. He was very flexible with our last minute additions even up until the night before. He also was great with providing suggestions and we ended up extending our wedding because everyone was having a great time. We have received many compliments that people said it was the best wedding they ever attended - and John was certainly part of making it a success. We would highly recommend working with John.

John did an amazing job. Everyone had a great time and he even got our most self conscious guests onto the door floor

We absolutely LOVED Aria Melody. John was so great to work with--he listened to us, gave great song suggestions, was super professional, friendly, and (most importantly!) played the best music! No cheesy tunes or line dances or crazy lights or blow-up dolls or nonsense. In fact, he was recommended to me by a friend when I bemoaned the lack of non-cheesy DJs in this city. From the moment we first met with him, we knew we'd found our DJ. We booked him right away and weren't disappointed. All our friends commented on how good the music was and I've been recommending him to everyone since. Music is such an important part of a wedding and we were so happy to have someone we could trust fully. HIGHLY recommended!

While we were incredibly happy with the overall experience of our wedding, we believe that our DJ--Aria Melody---really was the piece de resistance of the event. Our family and friends danced from beginning to end of the reception, which is exactly what we had hoped. John was prepared with every song we requested, and put together a beautiful mix for our cocktail hour and reception. He was exceptionally professional and easy to work with...you would be lucky to land him as your wedding DJ.

he was great to work with and we were happy with how everything went!

John was such a great part of our wedding!. He was such an easy vendor to plan and work with. We had been at a wedding two years back in which he was DJ'ing and we immediately thought of him when it came time to plan our own wedding. We liked the fact that he was the no gimmick DJ! No line dances, no lights, no fog machines, just great music for our guests to enjoy. John has a great website with a list and clips of songs to help you decide on songs for entrances, father/daughter, mother/son, cake cutting, etc. We found this really helpful since there were some parts of the night we weren't sure which direction to go. The music he played was just what we were hoping for. He had everybody out there dancing the entire night long, which is all I could ask for as a host. He even taped our speeches for us since we didn't have a videographer. Such a plus since we were going to ask a friend to do it! He was extremely responsive to all our emails and communication before the wedding and he came dressed for the occasion. I would highly recommend John to any bride looking for peace of mind and a good time.

John was the best DJ ever! We were looking for someone who had similar taste in music to us and was not cheesy and he fit the bill. He totally mixed our eclectic music style well. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

From the first time we met John he was extremely organized and professional. He did an awesome job DJing our wedding ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. He even kept in touch with the venue manager and our videographer in the weeks before the wedding to make sure all set-up would go smoothly. He played the songs we wanted him to and none of the cheesy stuff we didn't want. He did a great job feeling out the crowd and the vibe, and choosing which songs to play accordingly. He also was perfect on the mic announcing the necessary wedding stuff (grand entrances, speeches, cake cutting, etc). After the wedding, John took the extra step of sending us video he took which was greatly appreciated since we didn't have the video back yet from the videographer and we were anxious to relive the night :)

John was phenomenal. I really believe that a DJ can make or break your wedding and our DJ absolutely MADE our wedding. People I have never seen dance before we're on the floor all night long. The music was awesome and very impressive considering we gave VERY little guidance (though it was welcomed). John's professionalism was A+. He was so quick to respond before AND after the wedding. Without John our wedding would have certainly not been as much fun.

We highly recommend working with John from Aria Melody. He was one of our favorite vendors! He was very professional throughout the planning and especially the day of our wedding. We even recommended him to be added to the W Hotel's list of preferred vendors. All of our guests had a great time. John definitely helped us plan the best party of our life! Thank you, John and Aria Melody!

John from Aria Melody was the best vendor decision we made for our wedding and our guests have not stopped asking for our "Playlist"!

This is long overdue. We can't say enough good things about Aria Melody (John Sinclair). We had a wide array of different age groups and cultures at our wedding (all with different musical tastes) and somehow, John got everyone up to dance. Our dance floor was packed the entire time! We were amazed to see so many different people dancing together and having a good time. It's been months since we got married and people still tell us about the great time they had dancing at our wedding. While the music was great and the dancing spectacular, John helped us out in a way that I did not foresee: John helped my wife and I relax on our wedding day by coordinating with the maitre'd and our mothers-in-law to address all the last minute changes at our reception. I'm a project manager by trade and I put a lot of time and effort into planning our wedding. Despite my efforts, there were a few unknowns that had to be dealt with quickly and properly (we did not have a wedding planner). Since John had invested the time to get to know us before our wedding day, he knew the details of what we did and did not want. On our wedding day, John was able to put our minds at ease with his thoroughness, thoughtfulness and professional manner. John was there to answer questions and "direct traffic" so that we could focus on enjoying our special day. We chose Aria Melody because their website states "No lights. No fog. No gimmicks." While all of that is true, I would also add "No Worries" because John takes ownership of his work and invests the time to make your day flow the way you dreamed it would. Thanks for everything John!

We had such a great time at our wedding and the music was exactly what we asked for. Our experience with Aria Meloday was fantastic and better than I would have expected. John was a professional and understood the style we were looking for and followed that through the whole night. Thank you John!

My husband and I went to a wedding of a former co-worker and John Sinclair was the DJ at her wedding. We remembered the music being great to dance to, and not overly loud so that we were able to have conversations with other guests at our table without difficulty. When my husband and I met John to discuss him being the DJ at our wedding, we got an excellent first impression of him. He was warm, professional and open to any suggestions we had. We received all positive feedback from our guests about the music at our wedding. We would highly recommend John to any couple looking for a DJ for their wedding. You will not be disappointed!

Working with John was a pleasure. We wanted our party to be both sophisticated and fun, and John made sure to have everything we wanted. Our guests ranged in age from 7 to 81, and everyone's tastes were accommodated. Before the party, if I had a question, my emails were answered immediately. John even checked in with us right before the party, and made sure everything was ready. I recommend Aria Melody highly, and will definitely keep them in mind for future events.

Thanks for your help making our wedding a wonderful event!

John did an unbelievable job keeping people dancing all night. Extremely professional and as advertised. Would recommend him to anyone looking for a quality DJ for their wedding.

John was such an AMAZING DJ! We just got back from our honeymoon and every one of our guests so far has raved about the music and how it was the most fun wedding they've ever been to! THANK YOU John for making our special day so special for everyone we love! We HIGHLY recommend John. He's very talented, professional, can read a crowd so well, had a great mix of current and old school dance music to keep everyone on their feet. Many of our savvy music friends were blown away by John's mixing skills using his computer programs. Our wedding was the first I've ever attended where everyone was dancing WITH us from the first dance to the last song. Thanks again John for providing an awesome celebration on the most memorable night of our lives :)

John Sinclair was very helpful and responsive throughout the wedding planning process. He would check in to see how our song list was coming along and ask if we needed any help to choose songs. His website was very thorough and had a helpful list of songs to choose from for the ceremony, cake cutting, etc. We compiled a long list of our favorite songs for John to choose from. He selected really great songs from our list and he played a variety of genres so that everyone had a chance to dance. John is very professional and personable and I highly recommend him for any wedding or event.

John was awesome! He was entirely on top of all of the details, was very professional throughout and did a great job during the wedding itself. John cost a bit more thn some other DJs we were considering but he was worth every penny.

> Thank you, Jina for letting us play a small part in your day! Everything from the location to the weather to the photographers...amazing -- a perfect wedding! Best wishes! - John

John did an excellent job at my wedding. In the weeks prior to my wedding I was extremely busy and John went out of his way to make sure that we touched base prior to the wedding to ensure that everything went well. He really took my requests seriously and we loved every song he played. Fantastic!

John Sinclair from Aria Melody not only did a fabulous job at my wedding but also did a great job for both my brother's and my sister's weddings before mine! He was a great DJ who understood the mood and tempo of our family perfectly and kept everyone on the dance floor all night. We are all slightly disappointed that I don't have any additional siblings to marry off just so we could have John DJ another Young Family wedding!

> Thanks, Nancy! I wish there were more Youngs to get married, too! Best of luck to you and Steve! - John

What a great company to do business with. Very efficient, friendly and accommodating. I couldn't have handpicked a better DJ for our wedding I have had so many compliments from guests , "best wedding we have ever been to", they say. Thanks for everything!

> Thank you, Donald! - John

We had John Sinclair for our wedding and he was so completely phenomenal!!! Pre-wedding he gave us a bunch of suggestions and help and was incredibly down to earth and cool about everything!! Our guests were dancing and commenting how great the music was the whole time!! It wasn't too loud so that you couldn't hear the person next to you if you wanted to talk. He only really spoke when we asked him to announce something and for the introductions. If you think most djs are cheeseballs and stupid (like we do), contact John since he's the complete opposite!!!

> Thank you, Julie and Matt! You've got a great group of family & friends - I had a blast myself! See you at Katie's wedding in August! - John

John from Aria Melody was the DJ at my daughter's wedding and provided exactly what she and her fiance had discussed with him. They are truly no pressure and are extremely professional and capable. John was wonderful, and we were very happy with his services.

> Thanks, Bonnie! Please give my best wishes to Erin & Warren! - John

John did an excellent job with our wedding. The music selection was perfect and people have approached us since complementing the music played at the wedding. He definitely got everybody up and dancing well. Also, he did the perfect job of controlling the party's tempo while staying in the background and not interfering.

Aria Melody was a pleasure to work with. John Sinclair was professional, responsive and most importantly, he kept the party rocking so hard at our wedding, that the venue had to kick us out!!! Nobody wanted to leave! From our first meeting, we felt comfortable with how professional John was. Our last meeting, we went over the pronounciation of all the names to be announced and he even found a copy of our first dance song, which was in mandarin. Plus John gave great recommendations when we were looking for various reception entrance songs. He's great at reading the crowd and just an all-around great guy!

> Aww thanks! What a great Battery Gardens wedding! And I can now say I have Mandarin music in my library! Best wishes! - John

These guys really now how to charge a party. From the moment people entered the reception, they were serenading us with beautiful classical music and introduced my wife and I for our first dance so creatively...won't forget that. The dance floor was completely full considering many of the guests were over 35 and conservatives. We had a long list of requests and they managed to get just about every song and added some tunes that really made the floor go wild. Great job...worth every penny.

> And what a beautiful First Dance you chose -- thank you and best wishes! - John

John did an excellent job in every way! Right from the start we were comfortable that we booked a wonderful DJ. He was very informative during our first meeting and always responded to my many e-mails filled with questions. He was helpful throughout, especially when he gave us song suggestions for different parts of the day (1st dance, parent dance etc.) It was great to talk to him a few days before the wedding to finalize everything and go over correct pronunciations, which I might add he did perfectly!! The wedding went smoothly, and for an early wedding on a Saturday John had people up and dancing. He played music that appealed to our guests which was a wide age range. We had many guests come up to us during the wedding and tell us that the music was great and that John was playing the best songs! He played all of our requests and none of the songs on our "Do Not Play" list. I strongly recommend Aria Melody. They were truly a pleasure to work with and the music they played made our wedding day even more enjoyable.

> Thank you, Kim! It was definitely one of the most fun weddings I've ever been to! And I'm still recommending "Wonderful Day" for introductions to this day! Best of luck to you and Lou! - John

John and Paul were both extremely professional and easy to deal with. Aria Melody did the music for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. Everything went very smoothly - no problems at all. We had no complaints from guests about the music being too loud or not loud enough, and the music selection was great. We wanted a lot of fun dance music, and that is exactly what we got. Thanks!"

John was absolutely brilliant at our wedding. Multiple guests commented and even asked for copies of the playlist. Not sure we have ever been to a wedding where people never stopped dancing - we are grateful it was our own. Thanks for all of your efforts and assurances and for making our day so seamless.

> Thanks Ryan & Thea! - John

These dudes are top-flight blokes. Young, down to earth, friendly, helpful and willing to do everything in their power to make sure we got the music we wanted, down to the very last gypsy punk anthem. We're music fiends, as are a number of our closest friends, so we took it upon ourselves to create the entire play list and leave it up to John and Paul what the best order was for these songs to play in. It didn't matter that they'd never heard of half the bands on our list. They found the songs and gave 'em a listen and had them ready to go. And they were great with the announcements and looked quite natty in their suits and ties. People were shaking it out on the dance floor all night. And nary a smoke machine or chicken dance in sight.

> Thank you Rachelle -- one of the most personal, unique, awesome, cool, gypsy rock weddings I've been to -- I'm so glad we could be there!! - John

Martin and I were so happy with John and Paul. They were extremely professional. They answered all of my questions, responded to emails in a timely manner, gave me a contract that was very clear and explaining all terms, had a good payment policy, and were very helpful with the music selection. They arrived early and everything seemed to run smoothly. I didn't notice anything so to me that means there were no problems. The announcements were also great, they said what needed to be said and that was it."

Everything was perfect. We gave them a huge list of 70+ songs to play and they played them and threw in a couple of their own. I know my family and his dance but I was SHOCKED that the dance floor was PACKED from the first song! My parents were thrilled that it was loud enough to dance but not too loud and you could talk at the tables. They were really hard on us about the music; really hoping it would be good dancing music at the right level and they were thrilled at our selection of DJ! I really couldn't believe how perfect they were!!

> Thank you, Janine and Brian -- I appreciate all of your kind words and referrals. Its so kind of you. Wishing you the best of luck! - John
