    DJ Demetri killed it

    Demetri was amazing! He really paid attention to detail to make sure that all the versions of songs we wanted were correct (because I almost walked down the aisle to a remix version of a song instead of the string quartet instrumental!) We had to reschedule a few times, but then as we got close to the day, we were in constant communication, which was comforting. The execution of the music during the ceremony and reception was excellent. He was receptive to requests and didn't miss any entrance songs. Plus he had a good selection of Greek songs for us to dance to. 10/10 would recommend!

    Amazing!!!

    DJ Emporium came recommended to us by a family member, and they did not disappoint.
    I dealt with Fabio in the beginning and he was so great at answering all of my questions.
    We had also got them to do our vinyl flooring and it was the best decision we made!
    We had Dom and Angelo as our MC/DJ combo and they were absolutely amazing, I can't say enough good things about them. Angelo was entertaining and Dom was amazing at making sure everyone was enjoying the music, they played a great mix of what we asked for. All our guests could not stop complimenting us on our DJ & MC.
    If there is one company I will recommend to people it is DJ Emporium!

    Professional and Fun!

    We highly recommend DJ Emporium for your MC, wedding, or events needs - hire them and you can mark entertainment as handled for your event.

    My husband and I hired DJ Emporium for our wedding to provide MC, DJ Entertainment, and live saxophone. It was an excellent experience; the team really knows how to manage an event and the result was a professional, seamless, and most importantly FUN event.

    Cassandra did an amazing job managing and preparing our unique requests, and Demitri, our MC/DJ was excellent on the day executing our vision and integrating his own personality and flair throughout the day.

    Additionally the saxophonist was an absolute show stopper. Cassandra and Demitri were the main points of contact but the saxophonist did such an incredible job live on, really limited, information and planning beforehand.

    True professional entertainers, Demitri kept our wedding fun and on schedule, and the music and performance was concert quality! Thank you!

    Liuna Station Wedding

    We decided to go for DJ emporium since they were the preferred vendor at our venue. They only started the process of DJ (music selection) and MC selection 2 weeks before the wedding date (which is standard I guess). However, we did not have a conversation with our MC directly till the day of the wedding (we could only interact with their coordinator to explain all the reception schedule and other details). Also, the MC originally assigned to us cancelled on the morning of the wedding. A replacement was assigned immediately. But he got the name of the family wrong, and did a TERRIBLE job at the reception MC-ing. He did not include the game and LITERALLY just did the announcements. There was no crowd engagement, jokes, entertainment etc. Our crowd was super disengaged the entire time. Also, the MC was also part-DJ, so he had to leave the reception floor and go to the DJ station for music time to time. So 75% of the times, he was missing from the main hall. The DJ-ing itself was pretty great, and we have NO complaints about that. Our guests enjoyed the music.

    The feedback we got from so many of our guests was that everything about our wedding was a 10/10 except for the MC. I DO NOT recommend this company.

    Avoid this vendor at all cost!

    AVOID THIS VENDOR AT ALL COST!

    Horrible experience at our wedding. We got a very unprepared, careless and incompetent technician! This was one of the most expensive vendors we had. We paid them more than 4K and it was absolutely not worth it in any definition.

    We waited almost 10 minutes at the door for our entrance because the technician disappeared and then struggled to get the lighting ready after the MC got his attention to the issue.

    We had our first dance without the dry ice that we paid for, also because the technician was at the bar having drinks and chatting and was not prepared even though I had asked him if the dry ice was ready before announcing the first dance. I saw him running to the dry ice machine after me and my wife started dancing and he couldn't get it to work.

    It was a total scam. It was a lot of money to get very little. It's very sad when my wife and I feel that we worked very hard to make money to pay for a supposedly respectable vendor like this and get this kind of service.

    I understand what happened could have been unavoidable, but I am writing this review because after explaining all of what happened to DJ Emporium team in an email, I did not get a response or an apology for what happened, let alone a refund! I was ghosted. I never heard back from them after the wedding.
    I also feel the technician was clearly careless and I have a strong feeling things would have been a lot better with some more attention.

    AVOID THIS VENDOR AT ALL COST!

    Wasn’t awful but wasn’t great

    We booked with DJ emporium about 18 months prior to our wedding as they were the recommended DJ from our wedding venue. They apparently gave us a covid lockdown deal (I wouldn’t want to see their prices without the “deal”). When booking them I estimated our ceremony would start around 3pm. Quite a few months later when I was finalizing the events of the day, I emailed them and asked them if I could change the start time to 2pm and how that would look for us. They responded with “all of these details will be finalized in the final weeks before your event”. Fast forward to the DAY before our wedding. We had already finalized all the music and what time the dj needed to be there. My husband and I both received two different phone calls from 2 different people at DJ emporium. My husbands phone call was about how we added an extra hour to our contract and therefore had to pay an extra $200. Paying extra for the extra hour is not the problem. The problem was that they waited until the day before the event when they knew we would be stressed and would have no choice but to say okay. The phone call I received was from my DJ, essentially saying that part of the package we chose (the projector with a slide show of us during dinner) wouldn’t look good because even though we were told all of their equipment was already installed into the building, a projector wasn’t and therefore would be a huge eye sore in the middle of our dance floor. Thankfully he provided a solution for us and our service from the actual DJ was just fine and he did great through the night.

    So much fun!

    Our night was a blast because of DJ Emporium. Our MC Angelo really knew how to get everyone on the dance floor and kept our guests engaged! The DJ was more than I could ask for. Our families come from Italian and Caribbean backgrounds and he captured our cultures so perfectly and made sure everyone was dancing.

    We heard nothing but great things about these two from our guests, especially the MC. Thank you for helping our night be the absolute best! Highly recommended.

    All worked out

    Originally I was told I could pick my dj in advance but then they said not until a few weeks before the wedding, thankfully I got one of the DJs I wanted. There was some
    Mishaps with the dj saying the wrong name or pronouncing things wrong or playing the wrong song, which was annoying because I gave them all the information- there definitely should be a meeting with the actual dj and not just the company that way you can get all the kinks out.
    I had requested a photobooth from dj emporium, and found out it had been broken the week of my wedding, thankfully they got another one from another company for me to use

    DJ Emporium's reply:

    Hi Rebecca
    We are very happy your event turn out - just want to clarify that DJ Chris was the your DJ that was selected by you guys and your planner upon booking the event.
    Regarding the photobooth - yes one of our machines was damaged a few days earlier during transportation to and from an event however we have many alternative options that we can connect with to assist us in emergencies.
    I heard the event was a success and wanted to extend our sincerest congratulations to you and your husband!

    Great DJ, OK planning process

    DJ emporium was the preferred vendor for our venue. The DJ, Chris, did a great job and the music selection vibed well with our guests. He also did a great job coordinating with our MC. We had a lot of music that we mixed for performances at the reception and the timing and flow went as expected. Overall, the services were good.

    The form to fill out to indicate the flow of the music and our needs could use some work. Some of the text was cut off and it could be streamlined. Also when curating a unique wedding, they do not have places to write in comments, only their dropdown menus.
