Aria Melody DJ

John is a perfectionist. From the moment we met him we knew he was the right DJ for us. He is not cheesy and does not scream into the microphone like so many popular NJ DJ’s. He is a true class act. He even worked with my maid of honor to create the best speech (rap) I have ever seen.

Choosing a DJ for our wedding felt like a huge undertaking: the mood of our reception seemed at stake as we were throwing a party for our nearest and dearest, and choosing a soundtrack for the most important commitment of our lives.Then we met John from Aria Melody DJ, and everything changed. Right away, we knew we'd found a consummate professional and the perfect DJ for our wedding. John is a pleasure to work with, expertly versed in music, creative and intuitive in putting together playlists, and he executed a flawless evening for us.There's a reason that Aria Melody is consistently rated 5 stars across wedding sites: John is a talented, top-notch DJ who brings class and elegance to his work. Book him right this second.

Our wedding was exactly what we wanted it to be...a fun party! Everyone had a blast and gave so many compliments on the music and flow of the night. Highly recommended!

Our wedding was awesome! The weather was cold and wet but you would never know from the warmth inside. Everyone was dancing from start to finish. We couldnt have asked for anything more!

We could not have been happier with Owen from Aria Melody DJ! When we first met Owen for coffee to discuss the music for our wedding, we immediately felt like he understood us as a couple. Before getting into specifics, we spent some time getting to know each other and talking about our favorite bands. His laid-back, personable demeanor made us feel like we were hanging out with a friend rather than meeting with a vendor. We had some very specific requests but we were also looking for suggestions, and Owen recommended songs that fit in perfectly with our playlist. On our wedding day, we were very impressed with Owen’s professionalism and ability to seamlessly transition between each part of our reception. During dinner, he played all of the songs that we had requested and mixed in a few of his own. We were amazed that Owen’s selections were some of our favorite songs! He knew our personal style so well that we could just relax and enjoy the wedding without worrying about the music. During the dancing portion of the night, Owen did an incredible job blending well known pop songs with some of our more obscure selections. He kept the party going on the dance floor the entire night, and our guests could not stop raving about him. After the wedding, many of our friends told us Owen was “the best DJ they’d ever heard!” We cannot stress enough how positive our experience was with both Owen and John from Aria Melody DJ. There are many difficult tasks that go along with planning a wedding, but working with Aria is not one of them. Make your life easier and book them NOW!

Aria Melody is class personified. Very professional. He brings himself and his DJ booth. No inflatable saxaphones or tacky party favors. He caters the whole night to what you want, when you want it. From the time we met him until the time the night was over, John is always responsive to your requests, whether it's a quick email or if you want to meet with him in person to go over pronunciations of names. He has the perfect taste of old and new music, and I guarentee your guests will only be sitting down to eat dinner. I absolutely recommend him, and already have.

Thank you for bringing our cocktail hour and wedding reception to life! The guests at our wedding were so energetic and thrilled with every song selection, and you really had the dance floor filled the entire night! Thank you again for being such a fabulous DJ!

Owen was our DJ for our Wedding this past October and we loved him! Before the Wedding both Owen and John were very quick to answer any of our questions, help us find important songs and Owen even helped us gently speed up our First Dance song which we thought was just too slow. During the Wedding his ques were spot on. Its with great confidence that I recommend both Owen and John. They are both great people, with a full arsenal of music in their database that satisfied our guests of varying ages and styles. Aria Melody is professional, responsive, talented, and classy. They are a no stress vender which, when planning my wedding, was very much appreciated. Use them!

Aria Melody was exactly what we were looking for in our wedding DJ. They are amazingly professional, in a friendly easy going way. When we met with Owen, who was our DJ, we just liked him instantly and we knew he was the right guy for the job. Both John and Owen were quick to answer questions not just limited to the music but the overall wedding. Now let's talk about the music- incredible. We are music buffs ourselves so it was important for us to have some of our favorites but also have people on the dance floor. Owen was able to take our list, and fold those in with some of the more popular dance music. Everyone was dancing start to finish! People have kept telling us just how awesome the wedding was and that had a lot to do with the music. Thank you so much Aria Melody!!

Very professional service and classy DJ'ing. The DJ'ing was great because (1) followed our song selections, (2) professional voice and demeanor as DJ (no wacky voice-overs and over the top DJ talking), (3) nice guy, and (4) good value. People had a great time.

We loved working with Owen from Aria Melody DJ! My husband went over a lot of details and music with him and always found him friendly and responsive. He was prompt and did all his set up and sound checks without us even knowing it! His music was great and he never came out on the dance floor or shouted into the mic which was the #1 thing we DIDN'T want. Very pleased over all!

Aria Melody DJ did a fantastic job for our wedding. Our DJ, Owen, was so easy to work with. Leading up to the wedding, he helped us craft our playlists and came up with great suggestions as needed. In talking over our music selections with him, it was clear that he understood exactly the type of atmosphere we were looking to create with our music choices.Owen's work on the day of the wedding was perfect. We had a non-traditional reception venue that came with a variety of logistical challenges (cocktail hour outside, dinner in two separate rooms inside, and dancing in yet another room, with outdated and in some cases broken electrical hook-ups throughout the old building), but Owen figured out the best plan and executed it seamlessly. While dancing was going on following dinner, he even managed to have a separate, more low-key playlist continuing in the dinner rooms for guests who wanted a more relaxed environment.In addition to all that, Owen also came early to provide audio support for the ceremony in the garden outside the venue, which was basically the fifth separate space for which he needed to provide speakers. I honestly have no idea how he accomplished all of this by himself, but he did it flawlessly and without any sign that it was a challenge at all. I just can't say enough about what a huge role Owen played in making all parts of our wedding day a success. And all of that is not even to mention that the music he played was exactly what we wanted. For cocktail hour and dinner, we provided Owen with a mix of suggestions that ranged from classic Sam Cooke/Otis Redding, to more modern Wilco and Arcade Fire, and he managed to blend all of our choices perfectly. And he did the same on the dance floor, starting out with classic songs that all of our guests enjoyed dancing to, and then getting into more modern options as the evening got later. Finally, Owen did not draw any attention to himself at any time throughout the night. He just let the music speak for itself, which is exactly the type of DJ we were looking for.I am so glad that we hired Aria Melody DJ. We recommend them whole-heartedly.

Aria Melody DJ was great! No complaints whatsoever. Not an "emcee" party animal type of DJ, so if you want that, go elsewhere. Aria Melody is classy and elegant - unintrusive - and has an excellent selection of music. Vendor is VERY responsive. Not one email or call I made went unanswered; all responses were prompt and thorough. Would definitely recommend Aria Melody. :)

Owen and Aria Melody DJ were perfect. Owen was professional (look and demeanor) and he took the time to get to know us as a couple so that he was able to understand both our musical tastes and the atmosphere that we wanted to create--then he nailed it. All the guests danced for hours and we had a great time. I think the best thing I could say about this company is that we didn't have to worry about them. Planning a wedding (and the wedding day especially) is very hectic. Finding vendors that you know you can count on and trust is key--Owen/Aria Melody was that vendor for us. Everything one could want in a DJ (unless you want cheese and synchronized dancing).

From day one John & Owen worked with us to create the amazing party we dreamed of. Owen fulfilled all our musical requests as well as throwing in some fun surprises as well. He was professional and did an amazing job. Everything from the ceremony music to the last dance was perfect!

Owen did a great job as our DJ. He was in constant contact leading up to our wedding, making sure he had all of the details, people's names, song choices, etc. The day of the wedding went off without a single mistake. All of the songs we chose were played and he did a great job reading the crowd and keeping everyone up and having fun. You can't go wrong using this company.

My guests are still raving about Owen!Owen was amazing you need to book him for your wedding! The music he played kept everyone on the dance floor all night long. He was extremely professional and just did a beautiful job. I still have friends raving about Owen and how he played the best music and also how sweet he was! We love Owen and cannot thank him enough for making our wedding a celebration that no one will ever forget. Great job Owen you truly are the best!

From the very first meeting with Owen, we knew he was the right DJ for us. We wanted someone who played the music we selected, and only made the announcements we asked him to make - no laser lights or loud invitations to come to the dance floor. Owen did not disappoint.On top of that, he was incredibly responsive to every question and email, and didn't complain once as we changed the song list right up until the end. His patience and professionalism exceeded our expectations. He even came to a walk through with the caterer, at no extra charge.We strongly recommend Owen!

John was the best. He was very kind, smart, and has great taste in music. He totally blended seamlessly with the wedding, set the entire vibe for a fantastic night, and was really nice to work with. I hope to use him again for another event someday!

We are so happy that we hired John Sinclair as a vendor. He is always professional, personable and best of all he's an amazing DJ! Leading up to our wedding he reached out to ensure that we were prepared for our formal dances as well as the dinner and dancing portion of our wedding. He is always quick to respond to emails and calls if you have any questions or concerns. We had a lot of ideas for him and he made everything happen flawlessly. The dance floor was packed the entire night and we received many compliments from our guests on the fun vibe that was created on our big day! If you are looking for a sophisticated, fun and memorable reception John will definitely not disappoint!

Owen did a fantastic job at our wedding. He incorporated our desired play list with a great mix of new music. It blended well and the vibe in the room was excellent. Not for a second did Owen try and bring any attention to himself.He is a class act. I was dead against paying for a dj and now I am glad we did.

I can not say enough about John!!! From begging to end he was a true professional. He was accommodating to our entire playlist, and gave us input and quick responses when we needed it. It was a Grade A experience working with John on our weeding and all of our requests were meet with 100% compliance. John doesn't need lights and fog to make a statement, his ability to keep a party going says it all. The lights went up at our wedding and people were still there-- not wanting to leave--the sign of a great party-- the sign of a GREAT DJ!!

We looked long and hard for a wedding DJ that wasn't obnoxious, tacky and aggressive and that we felt would understand the kind of music and atmosphere we wanted to create at our wedding. We found all that and more in Aria Melody. Our DJ Owen was incredibly responsive, professional, and knowledgeable...not to mention a general nice guy. He did the music for our ceremony as well as the cocktail hour and reception, and indulged our exacting demands on editing the length and timing of the music to match the number of people in our processional. The music and the transitions and timing were all executed flawlessly. We highly recommend them!

I was planning my wedding with a limited time schedule and John Sinclair was flexible in every respect. His musical assortment left no stone unturned and he went above and beyond his scope of DJ . It was very clear to me from the moment he approached us that he genuinely cared about making our day perfect. Additionally , every outlandish and obscure song my friends asked for , he had. Not in any sense your typical bells, whistles, smokescreen kind of DJ. Definitely recommend. Unbelievable value. as well as proffesional and

I knew just by looking at the Aria Melody website that John would almost definitely be our DJ. After 30 minutes of sitting down with him, he was the first and last DJ we met with. I wanted exactly what he was promising - none of the cheesiness that almost comes hand in hand with most DJs, the shouting over the songs, the dancing with crowd, the constant announcements - and he delivered just like his tag-line. John was extremely professional, he mixed the list of songs that we gave him with some amazing song choices throughout the night that may as well have been on our list! I was initially a bit worried about the mixing of song genres - but any crossover was totally smooth and perfectly blended. He completely exceeded my expectations - I have never been to a wedding where people are on the dance floor before the first course has even been served! Yes, he's THAT good! He also sticks to the "Do Not Play List" and has a good feel for things that you would shut down even if it's not on the do not play list. Throughout the night we were REALLY thankful for that! If I could give more stars I would because he is EXACTLY what we wanted in a DJ. John is completely tasteful, professional, and he will work with you or help you if you have any trouble with song choices. For us, the music is what really makes the wedding, so this vendor was the most important to us. Aria Melody DJ could not possibly disappoint you. John is amazing and you can tell just by talking to him that he has an extensive music catalog not only on his computer, but in his head. Thanks for making our wedding, John!

I was thinking about throwing in a couple 4-star scores just so everyone reading this would think it's more believable, but that would be dishonest. 5-stars all the way.There's not much else to say other than Aria Melody was perfect for us. John was everything we wanted in a DJ and nothing we didn't. His customer service skills were top-notch, basically doing anything and everything we asked him to. He was prepared and professional and the reception went perfectly. If you care about the music that plays at your reception at all, Aria Melody is perfect for you. Really, with everything he did he actually helped make the best day of my life even better.

John is the best! Of all our vendors, he was the most organized and quick to respond to every email of ours. He spent a very long time trying to help me find a specific type of music for our introduction and it was perfect. We got exactly what we wanted...a great party that had the dance floor full, with music we either picked or within the styles we told John we liked. He had a great feel for timing and the flow of songs were spot on. If you want a DJ that is running the show instead of trying to be in the middle of it, John is who you want. No excess talking, no self promoting during your event, and very professional. So much so that a bridesmaid already recommended John to her brother in law! John, many thanks for a day that ended way too soon and best wishes for your own wedding to be just as perfect as you helped make ours!

John was wonderful from the moment we met with him. He was professional, friendly and was very easy to work with.We loved the idea that we both shared the "nothing cheesy" mindset as in no unnecessary talking/announcements, line dances and loved his music suggestions. He played everything, Motown, Hip hop, indie rock, pop and was great with helping us choose the right music.He was helpful,accommodating, and easy to get in contact with until the very last minute of the wedding which was great because I am soooo indecisive.All in all we loved having John as our DJ, the music was great, EVERYONE had a blast, and our wedding was perfect.Thank you for everything John!! It was such a pleasure to have you be a part of our special day.

John did an awesome job at our wedding. He was 110% professional but laid-back and fun; played all the music we wanted to hear; and we heard from both my parents and best man alike that it was the best wedding music they'd ever heard. We definitely appreciate how detail-oriented he was throughout and we just had an incredible time dancing the night away. We would definitely recommend him to friends getting married in the area in the future. All the best,Marian and Kaya Stone

We recently worked with John for the music for our wedding. John provided dinner music and dancing music. He was very flexible with our last minute additions even up until the night before. He also was great with providing suggestions and we ended up extending our wedding because everyone was having a great time. We have received many compliments that people said it was the best wedding they ever attended - and John was certainly part of making it a success. We would highly recommend working with John.

John did an amazing job. Everyone had a great time and he even got our most self conscious guests onto the door floor

We absolutely LOVED Aria Melody. John was so great to work with--he listened to us, gave great song suggestions, was super professional, friendly, and (most importantly!) played the best music! No cheesy tunes or line dances or crazy lights or blow-up dolls or nonsense. In fact, he was recommended to me by a friend when I bemoaned the lack of non-cheesy DJs in this city. From the moment we first met with him, we knew we'd found our DJ. We booked him right away and weren't disappointed. All our friends commented on how good the music was and I've been recommending him to everyone since. Music is such an important part of a wedding and we were so happy to have someone we could trust fully. HIGHLY recommended!

While we were incredibly happy with the overall experience of our wedding, we believe that our DJ--Aria Melody---really was the piece de resistance of the event. Our family and friends danced from beginning to end of the reception, which is exactly what we had hoped. John was prepared with every song we requested, and put together a beautiful mix for our cocktail hour and reception. He was exceptionally professional and easy to work with...you would be lucky to land him as your wedding DJ.

he was great to work with and we were happy with how everything went!

John was such a great part of our wedding!. He was such an easy vendor to plan and work with. We had been at a wedding two years back in which he was DJ'ing and we immediately thought of him when it came time to plan our own wedding. We liked the fact that he was the no gimmick DJ! No line dances, no lights, no fog machines, just great music for our guests to enjoy. John has a great website with a list and clips of songs to help you decide on songs for entrances, father/daughter, mother/son, cake cutting, etc. We found this really helpful since there were some parts of the night we weren't sure which direction to go. The music he played was just what we were hoping for. He had everybody out there dancing the entire night long, which is all I could ask for as a host. He even taped our speeches for us since we didn't have a videographer. Such a plus since we were going to ask a friend to do it! He was extremely responsive to all our emails and communication before the wedding and he came dressed for the occasion. I would highly recommend John to any bride looking for peace of mind and a good time.

John was the best DJ ever! We were looking for someone who had similar taste in music to us and was not cheesy and he fit the bill. He totally mixed our eclectic music style well. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

From the first time we met John he was extremely organized and professional. He did an awesome job DJing our wedding ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. He even kept in touch with the venue manager and our videographer in the weeks before the wedding to make sure all set-up would go smoothly. He played the songs we wanted him to and none of the cheesy stuff we didn't want. He did a great job feeling out the crowd and the vibe, and choosing which songs to play accordingly. He also was perfect on the mic announcing the necessary wedding stuff (grand entrances, speeches, cake cutting, etc). After the wedding, John took the extra step of sending us video he took which was greatly appreciated since we didn't have the video back yet from the videographer and we were anxious to relive the night :)

I just want to thank you for all your work last night. The music was exactly what I hoped for. I can't imagine any way it could have been better. You picked up my tastes and the mood of the crowd perfectly, and you gave the evening a wonderful rhythm. Many of the guests said they loved the music. One of my sisters told me she'd asked you for three things that were on the "do not play" list (thanks for your vigilance), but she still thought the music was great. Here's one my favorite comments: "Ed, who knew we had the same taste in music?" How could I have hoped for a happier guest?Thank you, again. I'm glad to have a great DJ to recommend now.

Thank you for everything, we had an abosulutely incredible time!!! Everything was perfect!

John was phenomenal. I really believe that a DJ can make or break your wedding and our DJ absolutely MADE our wedding. People I have never seen dance before we're on the floor all night long. The music was awesome and very impressive considering we gave VERY little guidance (though it was welcomed). John's professionalism was A+. He was so quick to respond before AND after the wedding. Without John our wedding would have certainly not been as much fun.

I just wanted to write a quick thank you before we take off for the honeymoon on Monday. Tony and I can't thank you enough for making our day SO MUCH FUN!!!! I definitely owe Maureen and John for recommending you to us....you were AMAZING! Let me know if you need any type of testimonials/references; It would be our honor and pleasure to do that for you!

We highly recommend working with John from Aria Melody. He was one of our favorite vendors! He was very professional throughout the planning and especially the day of our wedding. We even recommended him to be added to the W Hotel's list of preferred vendors. All of our guests had a great time. John definitely helped us plan the best party of our life! Thank you, John and Aria Melody!

John from Aria Melody was the best vendor decision we made for our wedding and our guests have not stopped asking for our "Playlist"!

This is long overdue. We can't say enough good things about Aria Melody (John Sinclair). We had a wide array of different age groups and cultures at our wedding (all with different musical tastes) and somehow, John got everyone up to dance. Our dance floor was packed the entire time! We were amazed to see so many different people dancing together and having a good time. It's been months since we got married and people still tell us about the great time they had dancing at our wedding.While the music was great and the dancing spectacular, John helped us out in a way that I did not foresee: John helped my wife and I relax on our wedding day by coordinating with the maitre'd and our mothers-in-law to address all the last minute changes at our reception. I'm a project manager by trade and I put a lot of time and effort into planning our wedding. Despite my efforts, there were a few unknowns that had to be dealt with quickly and properly (we did not have a wedding planner). Since John had invested the time to get to know us before our wedding day, he knew the details of what we did and did not want. On our wedding day, John was able to put our minds at ease with his thoroughness, thoughtfulness and professional manner. John was there to answer questions and "direct traffic" so that we could focus on enjoying our special day. We chose Aria Melody because their website states "No lights. No fog. No gimmicks." While all of that is true, I would also add "No Worries" because John takes ownership of his work and invests the time to make your day flow the way you dreamed it would. Thanks for everything John!

We had such a great time at our wedding and the music was exactly what we asked for. Our experience with Aria Meloday was fantastic and better than I would have expected. John was a professional and understood the style we were looking for and followed that through the whole night. Thank you John!

Aria Melody did a great job! Everyone is still talking about how awesome the music was...so thank you!

My husband and I went to a wedding of a former co-worker and John Sinclair was the DJ at her wedding. We remembered the music being great to dance to, and not overly loud so that we were able to have conversations with other guests at our table without difficulty. When my husband and I met John to discuss him being the DJ at our wedding, we got an excellent first impression of him. He was warm, professional and open to any suggestions we had.We received all positive feedback from our guests about the music at our wedding.We would highly recommend John to any couple looking for a DJ for their wedding. You will not be disappointed!

Working with John was a pleasure. We wanted our party to be both sophisticated and fun, and John made sure to have everything we wanted. Our guests ranged in age from 7 to 81, and everyone's tastes were accommodated. Before the party, if I had a question, my emails were answered immediately. John even checked in with us right before the party, and made sure everything was ready. I recommend Aria Melody highly, and will definitely keep them in mind for future events.

Thanks for your help making our wedding a wonderful event!

John was such an AMAZING DJ! We just got back from our honeymoon and every one of our guests so far has raved about the music and how it was the most fun wedding they've ever been to! THANK YOU John for making our special day so special for everyone we love! We HIGHLY recommend John. He's very talented, professional, can read a crowd so well, had a great mix of current and old school dance music to keep everyone on their feet. Many of our savvy music friends were blown away by John's mixing skills using his computer programs. Our wedding was the first I've ever attended where everyone was dancing WITH us from the first dance to the last song. Thanks again John for providing an awesome celebration on the most memorable night of our lives :)

John did an unbelievable job keeping people dancing all night. Extremely professional and as advertised. Would recommend him to anyone looking for a quality DJ for their wedding.

John Sinclair was very helpful and responsive throughout the wedding planning process. He would check in to see how our song list was coming along and ask if we needed any help to choose songs. His website was very thorough and had a helpful list of songs to choose from for the ceremony, cake cutting, etc. We compiled a long list of our favorite songs for John to choose from. He selected really great songs from our list and he played a variety of genres so that everyone had a chance to dance. John is very professional and personable and I highly recommend him for any wedding or event.

John was awesome! He was entirely on top of all of the details, was very professional throughout and did a great job during the wedding itself. John cost a bit more thn some other DJs we were considering but he was worth every penny.

I knew from the start that Aria Melody would be the perfect DJ for me, but I have to say that I was so incredibly happy with the wedding performance ESPECIALLY given our late arrival, the extremely varied musical tastes and most of all your ability to accommodate our spur of the moment decision to have the Grand March (which is the traditional Liberian dance) followed by Hava Nagila. I KNOW this was not something we expected to do or spoke about before hand so I was so appreciative of your commitment to giving us what we wanted! We all had a BLAST and absolutely had the best wedding we could have imagined!!

John did an excellent job at my wedding. In the weeks prior to my wedding I was extremely busy and John went out of his way to make sure that we touched base prior to the wedding to ensure that everything went well. He really took my requests seriously and we loved every song he played. Fantastic!

John - thank you so much for being a part of our wedding. We appreciate your guidance & making the music the one thing we never worried about. You did a great job, thanks for being a part of everything, we just couldn't have asked for a better night!

John Sinclair from Aria Melody not only did a fabulous job at my wedding but also did a great job for both my brother's and my sister's weddings before mine! He was a great DJ who understood the mood and tempo of our family perfectly and kept everyone on the dance floor all night. We are all slightly disappointed that I don't have any additional siblings to marry off just so we could have John DJ another Young Family wedding!

Brian and I valued your work and professionalism, but also being fun and easy going to work with. Everyone at the wedding (including us:-) was more than thrilled with the selection. John went along with everything we wanted/didn't want. When the crowd seemed to get a little restless, he threw some things in to get them going. It was a perfect New Year's Eve wedding. People were dancing all night long. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

What a great company to do business with. Very efficient, friendly and accommodating. I couldn't have handpicked a better DJ for our wedding I have had so many compliments from guests , "best wedding we have ever been to", they say. Thanks for everything!

We had John Sinclair for our wedding and he was so completely phenomenal!!! Pre-wedding he gave us a bunch of suggestions and help and was incredibly down to earth and cool about everything!! Our guests were dancing and commenting how great the music was the whole time!! It wasn't too loud so that you couldn't hear the person next to you if you wanted to talk. He only really spoke when we asked him to announce something and for the introductions. If you think most djs are cheeseballs and stupid (like we do), contact John since he's the complete opposite!!!

We cannot say enough great things about John. From the moment we met we instantly knew that he was the right guy for the job. He was a pleasure to work with, be it his quick response to any question we had, or his great song suggestions, all the way through to the amazing job he did the day of. We are still getting compliments from our guests about what amazing music we had at our wedding. In fact, my cousin got married a few weeks after we did, and I had a few of my aunts pulling me aside to whisper in my ear that they wish that my DJ was working my cousins wedding! Looking back at the video & photos of the day, I was thrilled to see that he had everyone up on their feet for hours and hours! I would highly recommend John & Aria Melody to any couple looking for a professional, easy to work with, tasteful and enjoyable DJ that will have everyone up on their feet for the entire event.

Many times on our honeymoon, we turned to each other and simultaneously exclaimed, "John was the best!" We'd go through all the songs we remember him playing... and as we recalled new ones, we couldn't believe how on point he was with our taste in music. Within the first 30 minutes of the reception, three guests had asked us if we had created the playlist ourselves... our response, "No, John is just THAT good." Not only does he have great taste in music, but through only a couple casual, fun meetings before the wedding he was able to understand us and found a way to seemlessly incorporate music from classic rock to country to the Chargers theme song. :) He is obviously highly skilled in what he does, but he is also very fun and easy to work with. From reviewing very hard to pronounce bridal party names (that he got right!) to talking about international travels, we enjoyed all communication we had with John. There are no words for how highly we would recommend John and Aria Melody - if you are looking for a no frills DJ that focuses on playing good music and maintains an elegant and fun atmosphere, then you can't go wrong with John & Aria Melody DJ.

John was perfect from our first meeting to receiving this note for the survey. After many issues with vendors (and there were plenty), Aria Melody was one that I never worried about. John would take the initiative to reach out to me, something that was much appreciated as being a crazed bride, I would have forgotten to reach out to him. Everything was taken care of leading up to the event and during. As my Maitre D' was less than involved (another letter is being written to THAT company - not nearly as complimentary...) the fact that John took control and handled the evening's flow without missing a beat, was frankly what helped us keep our sanity. John's ability to "read" our guests was phenomenal, easily adjusting the music to what the crowd responded to. I heard comments all night and since that our wedding was one of the most high-energy they'd seen - something I know that John was responsible for. If people are looking for a DJ to simply show up and play some music, look elsewhere. If you are looking for someone who will work in partnership throughout the planning and go above and beyond the typical "DJ" requirements - Aria Melody is your company. I would recommend Aria Melody to anyone looking for a DJ who will help make the evening more special. I only hope that Drew and I host another event in the near future so we have the opportunity to work with John / Aria Melody again. John, are you free in 5 years for our anniversary party???

John from Aria Melody was the DJ at my daughter's wedding and provided exactly what she and her fiance had discussed with him. They are truly no pressure and are extremely professional and capable. John was wonderful, and we were very happy with his services.

Working with John was simply a pleasure. Once we met with him, asking Aria Melody to DJ our wedding was the easiest and probably the best decision we made in the entire wedding-planning process. We loved that you were willing to play as many special request songs as we wanted -- and that you didn't seem to mind us adding "must play!!" songs to the setlist even up to the day before the wedding! We loved your approach to the introductions, the toasts, etc. Most of all, you were so cool and calm when the unexpected happened -- and the unexpected elements, let me be clear, came all on our side, from our family members deciding on the spur of the moment to give speeches, etc -- that everything flowed along as if it had been planned that way. And with all of that, you STILL kept everyone from the grandparents to the our friends out on the dance floor the whole night long. Everything you did contributed to the wedding being fun and festive, but still elegant. We have been told over and over again by our guests that ours was the most enjoyable wedding they'd ever attended, and I attribute that to your musicianship, diplomacy and sense of style. We thank you so much!!

John always responded to my emails very quickly even in the last week before my wedding. After speaking or corresponding with him, I always felt that my wedding music was in good hands. And it was! On the day of he arrived early, had things set up and working with no problems and even accommodating a few on-the-fly requests. I would extend the highest recommendation of his services to any bride.

John did such a great job. We were really unsure about how to chose the correct music for our ceremony and he led us in the right direction. We were so excited for our music. You were such a professional at the wedding and everyone complimented us on the great music :)

John did an excellent job with our wedding. The music selection was perfect and people have approached us since complementing the music played at the wedding. He definitely got everybody up and dancing well. Also, he did the perfect job of controlling the party's tempo while staying in the background and not interfering.

I had a really great experience with John! He was mellow which made him really easy to deal with. At the wedding he was low key, and that was really important to us...and everyone noticed! Many of our guests actually said how much they enjoyed the music and appreciated a DJ that wasn't loud and obnoxious!!!

Aria Melody was a pleasure to work with. John Sinclair was professional, responsive and most importantly, he kept the party rocking so hard at our wedding, that the venue had to kick us out!!! Nobody wanted to leave! From our first meeting, we felt comfortable with how professional John was. Our last meeting, we went over the pronounciation of all the names to be announced and he even found a copy of our first dance song, which was in mandarin. Plus John gave great recommendations when we were looking for various reception entrance songs. He's great at reading the crowd and just an all-around great guy!

We, along with all of our guests, were not just impressed, but BLOWN AWAY by your outstanding services! Nearly everyone at our wedding asked for your name because the music was simply awesome and never stopped, and your unobtrusiveness was just so...perfect!John was friendly, professional, and just plain caring when it came to what we were looking for in a wedding DJ. I was personally very impressed when I ran over with requests -- twice --and he immediately took care of them, even though he had already played one song. Although I'm sure every bride says this, our wedding was spectacular, due in large part to the wonderful services provided by Aria Melody. Thank you, thank you, thank you!! (We're actually sad not to have a reason not to speak with John again! We're trying to think of other reasons to hire a DJ again soon!)"

"We wanted a low key DJ who would not be too noticeable but classy and just play great music...very accommodating and wanting to make sure our wedding was exactly what we wanted. We gave them a very extensive play list of over 70 songs and they played every one! They were a pleasure to work with.We did have them make a couple of announcements when the little girls wanted to do a special dance and to announce the cake cutting and our first dance etc. and they did it perfectly and in a very classy manner. They are just genuinely nice, good guys!!!!!!! They did everything exactly as we wanted.We were extremely happy with them! They worked really well during the night with our maitre 'd, etc. I definitely recommend them!!! They were just perfect for what we wanted. For everyone who is using them now, I think you will be very happy!!!"

These guys really now how to charge a party. From the moment people entered the reception, they were serenading us with beautiful classical music and introduced my wife and I for our first dance so creatively...won't forget that. The dance floor was completely full considering many of the guests were over 35 and conservatives. We had a long list of requests and they managed to get just about every song and added some tunes that really made the floor go wild. Great job...worth every penny.

John did an excellent job in every way! Right from the start we were comfortablethat we booked a wonderful DJ. He was very informative during our first meeting and alwaysresponded to my many e-mails filled with questions. He was helpful throughout,especially when he gave us song suggestions for different parts of the day (1st dance, parent dance etc.) It was great to talk to him a few days before the wedding to finalize everything and go over correct pronunciations, which I might add he did perfectly!!The wedding went smoothly, and for an early wedding on a Saturday John had people up and dancing. He played music that appealed to our guests which was a wide age range.We had many guests come up to us during the wedding and tell us that the music was great and that John was playing the best songs! He played all of our requests andnone of the songs on our "Do Not Play" list. I strongly recommend Aria Melody. They were truly a pleasure to work with and the music they played made our wedding day even more enjoyable.

You did a great job at our wedding...your announcements were very professional - not cheesy at all or sounding like the typical DJ. Just as important, your service before the wedding was phenomenal. The quick and professional communications was great, and you guys are both so easy to work with. We were looking for DJs to just play good music without being cheesy. And you were just that!

John and Paul were both extremely professional and easy to deal with. Aria Melody did the music for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. Everything went very smoothly - no problems at all. We had no complaints from guests about the music being too loud or not loud enough, and the music selection was great. We wanted a lot of fun dance music, and that is exactly what we got. Thanks!"

John was absolutely brilliant at our wedding. Multiple guests commented and even asked for copies of the playlist. Not sure we have ever been to a wedding where people never stopped dancing - we are grateful it was our own. Thanks for all of your efforts and assurances and for making our day so seamless.

These dudes are top-flight blokes. Young, down to earth, friendly, helpful andwilling to do everything in their power to make sure we got the music we wanted, down tothe very last gypsy punk anthem. We're music fiends, as are a number of our closest friends, so we took itupon ourselves to create the entire play list and leave it up to John and Paul what the best order was for thesesongs to play in. It didn't matter that they'd never heard of half the bands on our list.They found the songs and gave 'em a listen and had them ready to go. And they were great withthe announcements and looked quite natty in their suits and ties.People were shaking it out on the dance floor all night. And nary a smoke machine or chicken dance in sight.

Martin and I were so happy with John and Paul. They were extremely professional. They answered all of my questions, responded to emails in a timely manner, gave me a contract that was very clear and explaining all terms, had a good payment policy, and were very helpful with the music selection. They arrived early and everything seemed to run smoothly. I didn't notice anything so to me that means there were no problems. The announcements were also great, they said what needed to be said and that was it."

We used Aria Melody for our September 2006 wedding.
Everything was perfect. We gave them a huge list of 70+ songs to play and they played them and threw in a couple of their own. I know my family and his dance but I was SHOCKED that the dancefloor was PACKED from the first song! I told them to NEVER say things like "come on and get on the dancefloor" or "its time to dance" or anything really - all they did was the introductions and it was PERFECT! I hate making people do stuff or giving instructions and I was right, we didn't need to. The dancefloor was packed the whole time and my parents were thrilled that it was loud enough but not too loud and you could talk at the tables. They were really hard on us about the music really hoping it was good dancing music and the right level and they were thrilled at our selection of dj! I really couldn't believe how perfect they were!!

John's logo really says it all: no lights, no fog, nothing that makes you cringe. His vast musical knowledge and consistently professional attitude allow him to be the musical concierge for your wedding celebration. From the processional to the last dance, the soundtrack for your day will be perfectly suited to your taste.
