Hey! My name is Antonio McElroy, but you can call me Tony. I am a 32 year old Special Education teacher and DJ/MC. I began DJing under Robert Hilo of Hilo Productions in 2013.

My wife and I are so glad that we chose Tony to DJ/MC our wedding! In the months leading up to our big day, Tony was always available to meet with us throughout the planning process. His insights and experience were key to bringing everything together; he thought of so many details that we hadn't thought of, I really don't know what we would have done without him. Tony and his wife Jess are very friendly and easy to work with. It felt like we were working with our friends and not strangers that were there just to do a job. They really cared about making our wedding the best night of our lives, and it really was! Tony was great at reading the room and playing music that kept everyone on the dance floor. I saw everyone dancing, kids, adults, friends, even some people that I never thought would be out there on the dance floor! Tony made everyone feel welcome. I would definitely recommend Tony to anyone searching for a DJ. Tony and Jess, Thank you SOOO MUCH!!!! -J&J

The BEST wedding band! We loved them and so did our guests. We got countless comments during and after our party about how great our band was. Christina is easy to work with and very professional. They took care of running our event seamlessly from playing a short video, to transitioning to speeches and to getting our guests up to dance the night away. Christina's voice is exceptional. I look forward to having another party just to hear her again.

Can I give more than 5 stars?! Seth, by far, was the best decision we made with our wedding planning. We were really picky about our DJ/Emcee. My husband and I love to dance and having the perfect atmosphere accompanied by music was of utmost importance. Seth exceeded all of our expectations. He has the most amazing setlist that perfectly matches the energy we wanted to portray. He is easy to work with and works directly alongside you to ensure your vision comes to life. Our dance floor was packed the ENTIRE night - from start to finish. People of all backgrounds and generations had an absolute blast, from our youngest 6-month-old guest to our 97-year-old grandmother. Seth reads the room incredibly well. He knew exactly when to cut a song a little shorter and when to let songs play out. As an emcee, he is articulate and captivating, without being too over the top as you see with some DJs. He saw his role as the facilitator of the evening and that is exactly what he did.  In addition to his DJ services, we booked Seth's photobooth which was a BLAST. The quality of the photos was amazing. At the end of the night, the photobooth attendant noticed that my husband and I never got a photo just me and him in the booth - so he quickly pulled us aside before packing up to make that happen. The whole team truly went above and beyond. We felt so heard, validated, and loved by them in this process. I can say with absolute certainty our wedding day would not have been as amazing as it was without Seth and his team.

We hired Second Song as our DJ, in particular, Rob, after seeing what an amazing job he did for my brother and sister in law's wedding the year before. He was so easy to work with and communicate with through the entire process leading up to the wedding. We also had our photobooth through their company along with adding on a live saxophonist. He really understood our vibe and had all our guests on the dance floor the ENTIRE night! Could not have asked for a better DJ or experience overall!

I hired this agency for our hedge fund company anniversary in London and as well for my daughter's wedding in South of France. Steve and Patryce were amazing listeners. We also loved the fact that they are a couple that work hard together for their family and have strong work ethics. We did not know that Steve was such a awesome drummer: My God! We thought he just ran the company. We understand why his network of musicians is so large. I will definitely hire them again. They made me look great in front of my high net worth clients and partners and everyone was on the dance floor at my daughter 's wedding.

DART collective, while a little on the higher end of our budget for wedding DJ's, was well worth the spend. They took into account our wedding song requests and played everything we wanted during all of our special moments. Our DJ was very mellow and cool, a pleasure to work with, and filled in our playlist with songs that fit our indie tastes.

We had Lily and Simon play for our pre-ceremony music as well as the music during our wedding ceremony. They are both incredibly talented and dedicated musicians, individually and as a duo. Everything about working with them was easy and professional. We didn’t have a strong opinion about the pre-ceremony music, so Lily suggested we give them a time period/genre and they could put the rest together, which was so great to have taken care of. We had only one song request, In My Life, for when we left the ceremony, which they arranged for us. It was absolutely beautiful! Communication was very clear and they both so clearly care about not only the quality of their work, but also about making such an important day as special and seamless as they can. We had so many guests comment on how wonderful the music was as well. You can’t go wrong with Lily and Simon and I can’t recommend them highly enough!
