We were very pleased with Greg and Maria and so glad we chose them for our big day! From the initial meeting to the final one, they made us feel very comfortable and relaxed and did not rush us into making any decisions. They shared their experience that helped us make our decisions!

On the day of the wedding, they came in early to set up everything, read the room interacted with the guests accordingly, and made sure that the music did not stop until the very end! We had so much fun and the guests also had a great time!

My husband and I are so glad that we hired Greg for our wedding. From the very beginning, he was so easy to work with. He asked for our input on what types of music our guests might like and what our vision was for the ceremony and reception. He worked collaboratively with our wedding coordinator and our officiant to make sure everything was ready for the big day. We had the opportunity to choose songs that we absolutely wanted played during the night, and to put songs and artists on our “do not play” list. Greg paid close attention to the details we wanted for the wedding and asked follow up questions to make sure he understood our plan for the day.

On the day of the wedding, Greg literally saved the day. When there was an unexpected power outage at the wedding venue, leaving the welcome cocktail hour in the dark, Greg thought creatively and figured out solutions to get light and sound so the ceremony could go ahead (including turning the dance floor party lights into plain white lights so that we could see to walk down the aisle while the venue worked to restore the main power).

Greg played great background music during dinner, and when it was time to dance, he had everyone on the dance floor. He played a perfect mix of classic songs and pop hits and even dancehall and reggae for my Jamaican family. There was something for everyone. Greg created a contagious atmosphere on the dance floor - guests who I thought would never get up and dance joined in as he led everyone through the Cha Cha Slide. Our wedding was the first time most of our extended family and friends were meeting each other, and the dance floor really brought everyone together.

Thanks to Greg’s creativity and commitment, we got to have the wedding we dreamed of, and we’re so grateful.

Weddings can be so stressful and chaotic, but Essence Sound and Lighting helped take a big portion of that stress out of the way. Greg and Maria were very professional, friendly, and supportive throughout our planning process and wedding day. On the day of our wedding, we had 0 issues with lighting or sound and everyone had a great time. If you want a smooth, stress-free wedding, I recommend adding Essence Sound and Lighting to your list of vendors. You won't regret it!

My husband and I were so happy we found Greg and Maria. As an introvert of a couple, I had so much anxiety our wedding would be boring and that people won’t participate with the programs, but since hiring Greg and Maria, I noticed how organized and professional they both are. I had so much fun building my playlist and picturing how the whole event will go. We swapped our bouquet/garter tossing for the shoe game and scavenger hunt and everyone loved it! It was a night full of dancing, love and laughter. Thanks to you both. We highly recommend!

Essence Sound & Lighting is a professional and accommodating DJ service. Everything was well organized in advance and ran smoothly on the day of. They brought the tunes, party, good vibes, and even some dance moves! I definitely recommend them to others.

Greg and Maria did an amazing job for our wedding, they totally understood the crowd and catered to every one of our requests. They were great to work with and I would highly recommend them!

Very lovely DJ and MC combo. After giving them all the times, playlist, and details, they pulled off they're part well. Seamlessly made the various announcements, transitions from cocktail to dancefloor tunes, and kept the party going to the end. Fantastic stuff.

This team played for my daughter's Sweet 16 in February 2024 and were an absolute hit. They arrived early, set up early, used my daughter's Playlist, and the music was so well put together that teenagers put down their phones and almost forgot to take pictures and videos. It takes a lot of skill to mix reggae, soca, hip hop, Taylor Swift, random requests, and Miley Cyrus but he did what it took to accommodate this very diverse crowd. Even the photographer, the caterer, and the venue staff asked for the DJ's contact information. Absolutely consummate professionals from start to finish. The lights and sound were top quality. My daughter has the best memories from that night. We are so thankful.

Maria and Greg were very professional DJs during our wedding. We were really impressed by their attention to details and their preparation, as well as correctly pronouncing everyone's names! They're MC services were all timely and their music choices were well taken by everyone. Everyone was having fun, and Greg's ability to light up the dance floor was the cherry on the top of the cake! We truly appreciate their services and will definitely recommend them to anyone!!

Sincerely,
Jessica and Taras

Greg and Maria absolutely saved our big day after a previous DJ service cancelled on us 3 months before our wedding, they were recommended to us and we are greatful to have crossed paths and have them as our DJ for
our wedding. Greg and Maria were super helpful and gave amazing tips while we planned our wedding. Greg kept the party going and was super interactive with the crowd.
Greg and Maria definitely put our needs first and were flexible. During our wedding, Greg made sure to check in with us to see if we needed anything and if the music was too loud. Truly everything was amazing and Greg and Maria make sure your wedding experience is how you imagine it. Everyone at our wedding, and after, were saying the music selection was flawless and fit to both of our different music tastes (country & pop).
We highly recommend Greg as a DJ! Thank you again Greg and Maria for your amazing DJ service and help.
