Jack went out of his way to make sure that we had the music we wanted at our event. He was positive, flexible, and helpful in his feedback. He kept our day moving and provided a wonderful ambience to the day. Having him as part of our vendor team made the day flow more smoothly!

We hired DJ Stoney for our wedding back in June 2019 and he was so crucial to the success of our wedding! One of the most important things we wanted out of our wedding was that it was fun - and that was MORE than satisfied with Stoney's charm and emcee skills and how he kept the atmosphere of the night upbeat and enjoyable. Weeks after the wedding, we repeatedly heard from guests complimenting Stoney and expressing how much fun they had.

Leading up to the wedding, Jack was actually our main point of contact - believe he's the owner of Music Now. For music preferences we mainly communicated with Jack, and he had us fill out the questionnaire describing our style and any strict do-not-plays. That questionnaire was then passed on to Stoney, who had a check-in call with us one week before the wedding to make sure we were on the same page. Ultimately Stoney did a great job playing all the best songs that would appeal to both younger and older crowds. I would highly recommend DJ Stoney!

We retained Music Now DJ Services to provide the DJ services for our wedding held at the Seymour Marine Discovery Center in June 2019. We worked with the Owner, Jack Crawford, and DeAndre James, the DJ who ran the wedding day event. Music Now provided all of the equipment needed. And by working with Jack in advance, we were prepared with the customized playlist we wanted to create the various moods we wanted throughout each part of the special event. DJ DeAndre responded immediately with all live adjustments requested, and his DJ skills were matched with a great attitude and friendliness that several guests commented on. This is a first-class operation, and we recommend their services to anyone who wants to enjoy their celebration without technical difficulties or other unwanted surprises.
