Unforgettable DJs

Phenomenal! People danced for 4 hours! We had a Sunday brunch wedding, so I thought it was going to be difficult to get people to dance. Not so with Unforgettable DJs in the house.
Nick was incredible from start to finish. He listened to our wants, helped with our ideas and made good on his promises. He worked closely with the venue on timing and never missed a beat.
I highly recommend Nick and Unforgettable DJs.

Nick Cavaleri was our wedding emcee and he was fantastic! From our first phone call to the day of our wedding, Nick was great to work with. I’ve always been that girl at parties throwing on her ipod/​iphone and putting on her playlists, so music is something I’m really into and care a lot about. Everything that we discussed during our creativity session, he delivered to the wedding. From our ceremony, to our cocktail hour, to our reception… he handled the flow of it all. Nick is full of music knowledge, has a fun personality and was so easy to get a hold of and chat about anything that may have come up along the planning way. If you are really into music, trust this guy and you’ll be so happy. He’s wonderful and I highly recommend him to other couples!

We used UFDJ’s for our wedding and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the initial meeting through the last song of the wedding they were on point with an amazing attention to detail and great understanding for the flow of the reception. You will not be disappointed!!!

Unforgettable DJs helped make our wedding amazing!
Planning your wedding can be difficult, especially when it comes to choosing the right vendor. Will you get along? Will he/​she live up to your expectations? Will they take the time to listen and understand your individual wants and needs? Listen, you have a lot of daunting decisions to make, so let me help you with this one: choose Unforgettable DJs. You will not be disappointed.
When my wife and I started planning our wedding, she told me that she already knew the best DJ around: Chris Garrow with UFDJs. She promised that I would not be disappointed.
I wasn’t.
Chris and the whole staff at UFDJs are amazing! We hired UFDJs for music and lighting, but Chris did more than put together an amazing night of music, he helped us plan and execute a solid agenda for an awesome evening! We paid extra for a maitre d’ from the venue, but Chris was truly the one who ensured the night went right as planned and that we were a happy couple all night long. We loved every minute of our wedding, and our guests couldn’t stop raving about what a great party we threw and it was all thanks to Unforgettable DJs.
I’m so glad we chose Unforgettable DJs. Having Chris onboard ensured our wedding went exactly the way we wanted it to. We worked with a lot of people to make our wedding great, but Chris and UFDJs were by far the best!

If you love music, love bands who have stood the test of time, know lyrics by heart and appreciate people who do… look no further. Unforgettable DJ’s are the best! Nick Cavaleri was a pleasure to work with from our first phone call to the night of our wedding reception! When my husband and I first met Nick, we trusted him instantly and so happy that we both went with our gut and did not shop around. Everyone at our wedding reception was up and out on the dance floor from beginning to end. If they weren’t on the dance floor, they were dancing in wherever they were. I would also like to add that we have a very picky music crowd, a very high bar for customer service and our wishes were exceeded. Everyone was blown away by the energy he kept the room at all night. We were all very impressed and I cannot stress enough how great Unforgettable DJ’s are. Call them for your next event! You will be in great hands!

We highly recommend Unforgettable DJs.
From the beginning Aiden was always very responsive, extremely professional and super helpful. He guided us through all the little details and managed all the DJ emcee duties on the actual wedding day without a hitch.
We never once had to worry.
The music was perfectly suited to our personalities and everyone had a blast. I would definitely recommend the Unforgettable DJs.

Outrages prices. They wanted to charge me $ 1395 for a 5 hour luncheon for a intimate 25 person wedding, with a $ 450 deposit. That was for the most basic package. Crazy.

Kyle was able to work within our budget and provided the high quality work that Unforgettable DJs has become known for. Everyone said how much they loved the music and there was so much dancing. We also felt heard and respected in his playlist choices. He even sent us a disc with our songs when we asked! Unforgettable DJs is willing to work with customers to provide a great DJ at the price that works for them. We recommend them.

Good DJs are hard to come by. GREAT DJs like Chris are one in a million and were glad we found him and unforgettable DJs. Here’s my review run down:
Pros:
— no pressure ever added from the beginning when we met Chris to our final meeting. As a marketer I appreciate when people are not pressuring me. I had enough things to think about.
— most responsive vendor we had. Very quick to respond to emails
— from the pick of our songs, knew how to keep the dance floor packed all night long (this was out goal)
— had a method to reading our crowd and keeping them entertained. We had a very diverse group of wedding guests from all over.
— asked us as the bride and groom questions that I never thought about or read about. You can tell they had the experience
— called me two days before to check on us to see if we needed anything, thought of anything else, etc. I was doing vendor calls the next day to confirm so I was glad they followed up with me.
— our guests throughout the night kept complimenting us on our dj and told us how much fun they had.
— my favorite part was when Chris was finished playing what we thought was the last song of the night, the entire dance floor chanted in unison ‘one more song, one more song’. Needless to say he did play one more and a few of our friends went over to hug him behind the DJ podium. I’ve never see that happen.
Cons: (not really)
— that I don’t plan on getting married again or have any future events where I would need to hire unforgettable DJs but if I did I would use them again in a hear beat. I am certainly recommending them to our friends who are getting married though so we can experience what they did.
Thank you again for making our wedding reception and the night perfect!

I try to avoid giving 5-​star ratings as they often seem disingenuous, but the folks at Unforgettable DJ’s absolutely hit it out of the park.
We met with several other DJs during the selection process. Despite our requests to the contrary, all seemed intent on jamming the «Vegas club”-style wedding down our throats (e.g. laser-​light shows, smoke machines, and nonstop mmt-​mmt-​mmt music). UDJ was the only team who actually *LISTENED* to what we were trying to achieve — classy, fun, but not overbearing — and the execution was flawless.
Our DJ was Aiden, and he was an absolute pleasure to work with. My wife and I are music snobs, so we were intent on avoiding typical cheesy wedding songs but still wanted to keep our guests entertained. Aiden toed the line perfectly, adhering to our playlists and do-​not-​playlists, and he filled in the gaps as needed. He was incredibly easy to work with, he met and spoke with us extensively prior to the event, and was altogether accessible the entire time.
The UDJ office staff was fantastic as well. Elayna holds down the fort, and she could not have been more friendly, accommodating, and responsive. The same goes for the owner, Chris, who gave us a very reasonable deal and would respond to our emails at all hours, even on weekends. It’s clear that the staff has a very «family» vibe, and while I can’t speak for all of their clients, they certainly treated us as such. This is an extremely well-​run business and we just cannot recommend them highly enough.

Aiden and his assistant, Louis, made my friend’s wedding and reception an absolute blast! They are super professional. They pay attention to little details. They’re great at setting the atmosphere. During the dinner, the music had a good groove. Nothing too loud or too fast. And when it was time to start dancing, they brought the energy up quick. They really did awesome by playing a Khmer song for the bride (my friend!) and her family to dance to. They were great at getting people to come out on the dance floor. They interacted with the guests and even taught folks how to do the Electric Slide, Cupid Shuffle, and Cha Cha Slide. The bridal party and guests had so much fun!

I am a bride and working with Chris was one of the BEST experiences!
Unforgettable DJ’s were recommended through word of mouth. I had heard of another Dj and spoke to Chris over the phone. His personality was great, went over pricing with me over the phone and I asked for time to go over pricing with my fiancé.
It was a couple of days before i got back to him (his prices were in our range-​PLUS he also offered uplighting which I think is necessary to make the room). He was always courteous on the phone! No pressure, no «selling».
Our meetings with Chris were great. He got to know us and our personalities, gave us great ideas, liked our ideas, and made it so easy to relax and not worry about the music and our guests enjoying themselves.
Wedding day!!! So when we arrive (into cocktail hour) we hear music at a great level, the music we discussed, people laughing and having fun. He met us and let us know how to work the grand entrance. When the party was announced it went just as planned and the time for the new mr & mrs to be announced was PERFECT.
The rest of the night was wonderful. All the music we wanted and Chris and his assistant were the bees knees! He got our guests excited and was in the mix without being that obnoxious dj that goes over the top in a bad way. Very classy, most certainly a pleasure to work with. You will not be disappointed! I especially liked the Bose speakers for quality sound :)
Note– book early! I recommended them to a friend a year out and that date was booked. :)

Thank God for Chris Garrow and Unforgettable DJ’s!
I have been planning parties my whole life; from intimate family functions to large corporate outings, to 3000 of my closest friends at Super Bowls. So I have experienced the best of the best. Chris Garrow ranks in that rare air of the cream of the crop. When our daughter and her fiancé said they wanted a DJ for their wedding, my wife and I showed our age. All we could think of were DJ’s of our youth; tacky guys with bad sound systems and strobe lights, spinning records and overpowering everybody with bad «group» dances. I wanted to «over-​rule» and hire a polished NYC band from a hot club or a group who had entertained us at one of our big industry parties. That is, until Chris and Unforgettable was recommended to us; and I promptly drove to their offices to meet Chris. I was quickly put at ease, and totally impressed with his relaxed demeanor and professional and thorough approach. Chris is a total pro. Chris took me through his process and I quickly realized there was a lot I didn’t know. After that first meeting, I knew we had the right DJ and everything music-​wise would be great, and that was a relief. After all, music and food are the two top ingredients for a great reception/​party. In follow up meetings, Chris met with me and the Bride and Groom, and scripted our entire day. The ceremony, cocktail hour, reception and after party. He hired a jazz quartet for us for the ceremony and cocktail party. When the Big Day rolled around, Chris and his assistant set the tone for one of the best weddings ever (our friends and family actually said it was THE Best ever). Their handling of the announcements, introductions and all were perfect. But most of all, the playlist went perfectly with the tempo of the evening, as they blended the traditional with the contemporary. The dance floor was never empty. The true testament to the music of the evening was this; friends and family requested copies of the «playlist of Theresa and Mitch’s wedding» for their Ipods! And BTW, Chris was so kind as to accommodate that request as well! Listen, as I learned so well, these weddings are a big deal, and a big worry. If you want your investment of time and money to pay off, and for everyone to have a memorable time, hire Chris Garrow and Unforgettable DJ’s. Email me or call me if you want. I feel that strongly about it! Good Luck!

My experience was definitely unforgettable… but not in a good way. :(my fiancé and i were really excited about potentially booking one of their dj’s, pj, for our upcoming wedding. i gave them a call and whereas i’d had no problems with any vendors coming into manhattan to meet with us, they told us that they had a «no driving into manhattan without a contract» policy. i thought that was understandable, so made arrangements with my fiancé to take the day off work on a tuesday to meet with the dj at our venue in clifton, nj.
before the meeting, not knowing the etiquette, we asked the dj if we were expected to provide a meal. his reply was very curt and told us that «in 12+ years of dj-​ing he’d never come across this question.» yikes. we definitely didn’t mean to offend and we apologized and assured him we’d be happy to pay for his meal. however, we scheduled another meeting with another dj just to have a back up. this dj was also in central jersey, came in to the city to meet with us, and gave us a great rate! my fiancé and i were impressed but we had already gotten the time off work and the wedding wire reviews were so great that we decided we still wanted to meet with unforgettable djs.
the meeting went very well! we thought pj had a lot of awesome, youthful energy. however, we wanted some time to think about it. my fiancé and i debated and while the packaging price was better with the other dj, we thought that pj seemed like he’d bring more energy to the night. we e-​mailed them explaining where we were in the decision-​making process and asked if the price was negotiable.
a few minutes later we received an e-​mail that was essentially an e-​mail RANT, accusing us of giving them «the bait and switch,» listing all the trouble they’d gone through to meet with us. they also stated, «To offer my services for one dollar less is to de-​value my services and I would never be able to do that.» they also accused us of trying to steal their ideas («I offered you input that you now will be able to use whether it’s with me or any other DJ that you choose.») which seemed both paranoid and arrogant.
i later called the owner of the company who apologized to me (hence the 2 star instead of 1). however, as a bride-​to-​be who is already stressed enough planning, having to tiptoe around one of my vendors is SO NOT WORTH IT. yes, maybe other people who used them loved them, but if you decide (or even LOOK like you’re going to decide) to not go with them, watch out! an intimidating exchange at best, a demeaning one at worst. bring your business elsewhere.
note: i was really surprised that wedding wire had ONLY glowing reviews about this place and looked up how the reviews worked. it seems that if there is a bad review, vendors can get that review pulled from the site. that’s MESSED UP. secondly, i feel like a good chunk of the wedding wire reviews are fake because this place ALREADY has 1 filtered review posted. YAY for Unilocal for posting REAL reviews by REAL people and monitoring it!
