FRED PAPPALARDO DISC JOCKEYS

Fred Pappalardo was the DJ for our wedding and I couldn't have asked for a better DJ. Going into our first meeting with hardly any ideas for music, Fred had many ideas on what kind of music would work for us. He had great suggestions from ceremony music, cake cutting songs and of course songs that were must plays at the reception. We put a lot of our reception in Fred's hands and couldn't have been happier. We would recommend DJ Fred to anyone looking for great DJ to keep the guests dancing all night long! Fred is a great guy and hard worker, he was wonderful to work with and anyone that uses him for their wedding will have a memorable night!

James McNally was the DJ for our wedding and he was fantastic. We would recommend him to anyone, he was extremely helpful well always remaining professional. When we sat down to plan out the music for the night we laid a lot of the set list in his hands and when we where stuck on a particular song to play during certain parts of the reception he was able to help us find the perfect song, he even suggested different games to help us get our guests more involved. Through out the night he played the perfect selection of music at the right times and he did not disappoint us with the selection. The music he chose was a hit with all the different age groups that attended, we couldn't have asked for anything more... Definitely 5 stars!

I HIGHLY recommend DJ Fred to anyone and everyone! I truly believe that the DJ is one of the most important vendors for a wedding, since the DJ who is going to set the tone for the wedding! We wanted our wedding to be a party, and for people to be up dancing the whole time, and DJ Fred really did that. The venue even said that they had never seen a wedding where people were dancing that early in the night! Fred also knew how to read the crowd, and put in some slow songs here and there. He also blended older generation music with newer songs so that all generations were out on the dance floor!

DJ Fred Pappalardo was our DJ for our wedding. He was amazing and a pleasure to work with. He was very professional, asked our opinions and gave great suggestions. Fred played a great selection of music and kept the dance floor busy all night long.
I would recommend Fred to anyone looking for a great DJ. He exceeded our expectations and we are grateful. I had been to a wedding previously where Fred was the DJ and when I got engaged I knew I had to have him!

Thank you Fred for being apart of a fabulous night that we will never forget and neither will our guests!!

We had DJ Fred at our wedding. He was AMAZING! He played the perfect mix of songs. Because of the weather we had some logistically challenges in that we had to take photos during our reception - despite us pulling out large numbers of people at a time, he kept the dance floor going and everyone has raved about the music selections. Fred did a great job of mixing in some of our obscure requests with songs that everyone knows and loves. What I really appreciated was that while Fred was more than willing to meet with us in person, we lived far from the venue and opted to talk over the phone. After filling out his checklist and having a conversation on the phone, Fred really understand the vibe we were going for. I was more than confident that he would make our reception an absolute blast and I was not disappointed. The dancing was the highlight of the wedding for me and I keep thinking back to those moments and smiling. He truly made our wedding a night we will never forget and we could not be happier with him as our DJ. I should also point out that both Mike and I are not typically dancers and he had us out there all night. THANK YOU FRED - YOU ARE THE BEST!

We just had a beautiful wedding this past weekend and Fred could not have done a better job! I would highly reccomend him, very professional, friendly, accomodating, and very patient . Also went above and beyond to make the night extra special for us!

Fred was amazing at our wedding. He kept the dance floor full, cued us in when we had to be places, very professional yet silly (because we are), very nicely priced...I could go on and on about how perfect Fred was at our wedding. He was the best choice! Thank you so much for everything you did for us on our day Fred! I would 100% recommend him to ANY bride :)

Clark Sillery provided DJ services for our wedding ceremony and reception at The Historical Society of Wells and Ogunquit and Village by the Sea. The entire process went by perfectly and we could not have asked for more. Clark provided amazing service and had everyone out on the dance floor having a great time all night long. Everyone that attended our wedding had nothing but nice things to say about Clark as our DJ. We would without a doubt recommend Clark's services for any type of ceremony.

James McNally, was the DJ for our wedding and I couldn't be happier! He provided the music for the ceremony as well as our reception. We didn't want to use traditional wedding theme songs for our ceremony and had found a couple obscure songs on YouTube that James was able to extract and use. He was very patient with us in our meeting with him and had some really great ideas. He worked with us to make our day a fun and memorable one. He adjusted seemlessly to requests and really kept the party going and dancing. He looked like he was having fun too, dancing it up while he played songs! Honestly, I could not be happier with his performance and professionalism. I could sit here and write another paragraph about how I would highly recommend him, but that probably wouldn't do him justice. So if you are stuck deciding between James and someone else, GO WITH JAMES! You will be glad you did.

James McNally was the DJ for our wedding on September 10, 2011 in Alton, NH. He provided the music for both the ceremony and reception. James was open to our creativity in playing Star Wars theme songs recorded by the Boston Pops during our ceremony. He adjusted easily to last minute changes made on the day of the wedding. We also gave James a list of over 50 songs we wanted played over the course of our wedding day. He was very thorough and reviewed each song with us thus making suggestions about what would be appropriate music for cocktail hour, dinner music, and dance music. The catering staff even commented to us about how fantastic our DJ was compared to other wedding venues. Our guests were excited to see James having a good time as he mouthed the lyrics to songs and showed that he loved his job!

We had Clark from Fred's crew of DJ's. He was absolutely amazing! Our guests were astounded by how full the dance floor was during the entire evening. I highly recommend Clark and would definitely utilize his services again!

We booked Doug Bounds through Fred Pappalardo DJs. Doug was great! We met with him the week before the wedding and went over what our general likes and dislikes were. On the day of the wedding he did an absolutely great job reading the crowd and keeping everyone on the dance floor all night long! He has a great personality and does a great job getting the party going while not being obtrusive at all (I don’t like DJs that talk a lot). He worked seamlessly with the coordinator at our venue to make sure the first dances, cake cutting, etc all flowed well. And he had a smile on his face the whole time. I’d recommend Doug to any couple!

Our DJ, James McNally, was so fantastic. I would very highly recommend him!! He was great to work with, flexible, fun and gave very good suggestions when we were stuck on some of our wedding song choices. The wedding was so much fun, he did a great job MCing and keeping us informed of things like when to cut our cake, do special dances, etc. So many wedding guests commented on how great the DJ was doing and the good variety of music he played. He's got a great sense of humor, and I just cannot say enough about how comfortable we felt with him on the mic! Thank you so much James!! I would absolutely hire you again if and when we ever throw a big event.

Fred was great for us. The price that he quoted to us was all inclusive and straightforward along with being very reasonable for a 5 hour reception. He kept the crowd dancing and entertained and throughout the process was very professional, thorough and made sure that everything was exactly the way we wanted it. He even accommodated a last minute flash mob that my friends had decided to put together switching in their CD with ease and with no suspicion to anyone else whatsoever. We were very happy with his services and now no why he is known generally as the best DJ in Maine!

James McNally, one of the DJs with Fred Pappalardo Disc Jockeys, did our wedding on 8/13/2011 and we can't speak more highly of him. He was fun and personable, and always professional. He made himself completely available to us, responded very quickly to emails and communication, and his rate was extremely reasonable. As far as the music goes, he gave us as much control as we wanted and was there with plenty of song ideas when we had none! He paid attention to every detail, he even spoke with everyone in the wedding party personally to make sure he had the right pronunciation of their names. Our ceremony/reception went SO smoothly, and we do owe a lot of that to James.

If you're getting married, or need a DJ, Fred Pappalardo Disc Jockeys are a favorite for New Englanders, but ask for James McNally, he knows what's up!

James McNally was excellent! A consummate professional. James was proactive and thoughtful in every interaction we had with him. And he certainly came through on our wedding day! James delivered a stellar set and was a wonderful MC. We could not have asked for a better DJ. I recommend James to anyone looking for MC and DJ services.

We had our wedding at the Union Bluff Meeting House in York beach, Maine on 8/12/11 and Fred Pappalardo was included in our package, which I was excited about because I had contacted Fred a few months prior to get information since I had heard great reviews! Fred was so helpful and flexible during our music list meeting, because I am so not educated when it comes to music! He helped my sister coordinate our "Entrance Dance" with our wedding party which was a big hit! I have nothing but great reviews he kept our reception so fun, everyone was dancing all night, and the range of music was perfect to suit all of our guests! I would highly recommend Fred Pappalardo's DJ services for any wedding. Thank you so much for making our reception so fun! ~Christina and Patrick Giguere

Fred DJed our wedding on August 6th, 2011 in Kennebunkport, Maine. In a word, he was amazing. Extremely professional, superb music selections and transitions throughout the night, and perfect amount of interaction with the guests. Our dance floor was packed the entire evening, and our guests remarked as to how much they enjoyed our DJ. Fred is extremely flexible and will work with you to craft the event of a lifetime!! We would absolutely use him if we had it to do over again, and highly recommend his services!

Fred was our DJ for our wedding on August 5. He was an absolute pleasure to work with and made all of our music and entertainment choices incredibly easy. The music was everything we had hoped for and all night the dance floor was packed with happy guests. He emceed the entire night flawlessly and helped us make the most of our time. Book Fred! He is amazing!

As we planned our wedding we put the music as one of our top priorities. We wanted our reception to turn into a dance party and knew that if that was to happen we would need a DJ with the right vision and personality to execute it. Fred Pappalardo was that person. We knew right from the start he was the man for the job, and his professionalism, input, and flexibility only served to reassure us in our choice. He took our ideas and music selections and wove them into a fantastic playlist that evolved with the energy and requests of our guests. There was not one song that did not have at least a crowd (more often a mass) of people out on the dance floor having an awesome time. He was thorough in noting and following through with all the details we laid down for him and we could tell he sincerely wanted to give us a party to remember. Fred definitely has a talent for what he does, and we can’t thank him enough for helping to figuratively and literally deliver “the time of our lives” (Yes, that was the last song of evening, and it was perfect). Thanks Fred!

We hired the one and only DJ Fred for our wedding, and I am so glad we did! Before the wedding Fred had us fill out a comprehensive worksheet about our musical tastes and preferences. From there, Fred had a pretty good idea about my fiance (now husband) and myself. At the reception, Fred indulged us by playing retro lounge music during the cocktail hour - we had a 1960s Mad Men inspired wedding. At dinner he played vintage music from the 50s and 60s - early rock and roll, rat pack, etc. - absolutely perfect - people wanted to get up and dance during dinner - high praise indeed, because my family is all about food! After dinner, Fred lit up the floor - it was terrific - everyone was out there. We asked Fred not to play any of the cheesy wedding numbers (Chicken Dance, Electric Slide, etc.). To Fred's great credit, he played one song we had asked him not the play: "Shout" (c'mon - it's a wedding, not Animal House). Actually, it was brilliant - Fred took the pulse of the crowd, and played it. The dance floor was PACKED. Arms were thrown up in the air - knocking our paper lanterns everywhere - but it was AWESOME! That's what's so great about Fred - he makes sure everyone is having fun - he has an uncanny knack for keeping the mood just right. He is wonderful!

Fred was awesome! Not only is he affordable, but he is so helpful in all areas of your wedding. Fred made sure to play only the music we specified and he helped to make sure every event from start to finish went smoothly. Fred knows the business of weddings and I recommend him and his team of DJ's as the only right choice if you're getting married in Maine. Thank you for everything, Fred!

Not only did Clark make our wedding day special but he also made the planning a smooth free journey. Planning a wedding is so stressful and time consuming. Having to worry about music selection and coordinating with the DJ was something overwhelming for me. Clark made this process so easy for me and it made the world of a difference. I am a "do it yourself bride". I made all the decorations and took care of all the details. Having to choose the music was something I wasnt looking forward to it because it just seemed like ANOTHER task on my LONG list of things I needed to do. My husband and I live in New York. Our wedding was in Maine. I thought it would be so difficult to work with the DJ so that he had a good idea of the music we wanted etc. Music is everything for your wedding day. Sure, you can work hard at all the details for your wedding day, but if the music isnt what you want, your day can easily not turn out the way ou wanted to. Clark and I communicated via email. Anytime I send him an email he would respond right away. He took care of everything for me. He provided me with an outline which consisted of what music to choose during the introduction to the last dance; all I had to do was fill in the blanks. He gave me great advise on what to do, when to have our special dances and he paid attention to everything I wanted. I am so grateful that we choose him to be the DJ. His price we beyond reasonable and the quality of work was superb. I will always be forever grateful for him and his dedication to music/ wedding and building relationships with his couples. We had a double wedding which wasnt an easy task. There were double the amount of special dances and both couples had music requests. It seemed effortless for Clark to be able to make this happen. We are so happy with the results and to our surprise he made us CDs with all the music we choose for our special dances. He paid attention to ALL the details. Thank you Clark for your hard work and for the wonderful friend we found in you.

Dave Smith, one of Fred Pappalardo's disc jockeys, provided the music for our outdoor wedding ceremony, indoor/outdoor cocktail hour, and indoor dinner and dancing reception at Clay Hill Farm, in York, Maine. Dave was wonderful to work with; we had very specific ideas about the music we wanted for all aspects of the wedding, and he was very accommodating. He used music from some CD's we provided, but also obtained many specific pieces that we were not able to send him. He was professional, friendly, and laid-back. His timing during the ceremony was perfect, as he faded long pieces during entrances and exits, etc. He played the mix of jazz we had asked for during the cocktail hour, which was not his usual jazz set, and he tailored an hour of classical music for our dinner hour, again, not his usual dinner set. We are not a big party crowd, but he did manage to keep the dance floor fairly busy for most of the afternoon. It was a pleasure working with Dave, he is friendly, open, and professional, and very responsive to our requests. We would highly recommend him to anyone needing a DJ in the York, Maine area!

Fred was the DJ at our wedding on 5/28/2011 at the Red Barn in South Berwick Maine. He did a fantastic job in both song choices and in running the events of the evening. Fred is very organized and professional. Both my husband and I met with him prior to hiring him and found him to be the most professional of the DJ's we spoke with. I also felt as though he was easily accessible if I had questions or concerns and we had many opportunities to review the wedding plan with Fred prior to the event. We received many compliments through the course of the evening from our guests saying that he was a great DJ and the dance floor was never empty, which speaks of his talents. He did a great job reading the crowd and I would highly recommend DJ Fred to anyone looking for a DJ for their big event.

Fred was wonderful! He was professional and courteous. Fred handled last minute changes with ease and was able to go with the flow at the reception. All of the guests thought he was great.

Clark was our wedding DJ and he was awesome! Clark was laid back, easy to work with, and comforting. He asked a lot of questions in order to determine what type of evening we were hoping for, and followed through perfectly. He played the music we asked for and more. Clark was fun, upbeat and entertaining yet classy. He was easy to reach, and was accomodating to a few last minute changes we made. Clark communicated with our reception site when needed and did an overall EXCEPTIONAL job! I highly recommend Fred Pappalardo DJs.

DJ Fred was excellent. The dance floor was packed the entire wedding and Fred did a great job reading the crowd. Fred has a great personality and will cater to your needs. I have zero complaints and know that I made the right decision with Fred.

We used Fred Pappalardo for our wedding at The Stage Neck Inn in York, ME. We couldn't be happier with our decision. Fred is very courteous, helpful, and professional. He helped us customize our wedding and it came out exactly how we wanted. We highly recommend Fred for your upcoming event!

My wife and I had a great experience with Fred Pappalardo Disc Jockeys. We were especially impressed with the responsiveness and flexibility of the service. We had a number of very specific and obscure song requests for the ceremony and introductions. We also wanted DJ Fred to play to the mood of the room on the fly during the reception. DJ Fred did both to perfection.

My wife and I got exactly what we wanted in the music department. Our guests later complimented us on the music and how seamless and fun our wedding was.

Glenn and I can not say enough great things about DJ Fred!! From the first time we met Fred we knew he would be a perfect match for our wedding entertainment. We had an original idea to have our wedding party be announced as a basketball team. He was just as enthused as we were and went above and beyond our expectations! Our guests had nothing but great things to say about Fred and people are still talking about what an awesome time they had. Thanks for helping create such a perfect day Fred!!

I worked with James McNally and he was an absolute joy to work with. I had done a lot of research online and made calls but I made my choice when I actually got to see his work at my soon to be (and now are) in laws anniversary party. He did an amazing job there and everyone had a LOT of fun. He was very clear when speaking and always had a smile on his face. He treated everyone with the utmost respect and the energy he offered to the room was exactly what I was looking for.

We did a formal-semi formal winter wedding with a modernized traditional theme. We had a few personalized odd requests and he was very open and had a lot of fun with. When I approached him at the end of the anniversary party he was very nice and patient while I told him our thoughts on dates and times and gave us his card and a quote on the spot. When we followed up a few months later after a bit more scouting he honored his quote as we knew he would and was very easy to talk with. We had a sit down meeting where he worked with us to form a plan for everything that would happen that day. He was very patient and played a LOT of music for us and had suggestions that he'd come up with based on talking with us. He was willing to totally personalize any and everything. He was very professional and easy to get a hold of. On the day of he was right on task even more so then myself lol! He did a great job of keeping the music soothing and soft during our formal sit down dinner but was great with getting everyone pumped when it came to dance time! He was very witty and even helped us to put together a game to play that got everyone laughing and having a blast. He took a lot of requests (including a lot from myself lol) and did a great job of keeping a nice wide variety of music as our families are rather eclectic in tastes. Everyone was able to have a lot of fun together. Which was exactly what we wanted :)

Over all I couldn't have asked for a better DJ! I'm really glad I got the chance to see him in action and picked him!

From the first meeting with Clark to the last song of the night we were so impressed with everything he did. Our first meeting was right at his home, the fact that he let us into his personal home to discuss our personal day was amazing. The music selections and the overall knowledge of the music made us feel so at ease. At our wedding Clark felt more like a friend then the DJ and we seriously can not wait for our next party (maybe my 30th?!) to meet up with him again. We can not thank Clark enough for everything and the CD with our wedding playlist on it was a surprising plus, absolutely amazing!!

James was wonderful. Having never put together a wedding before, we relied on the expertise of those more experienced and James did not let us down! His advice and guidance were instrumental in the success of our wedding. I have and will continue to recommend James to all my family and friends.

After booking our wedding package, we met with our DJ, Fred P. Music selection was one of the most important things in the wedding planning process to me. I had a lot of requests and many genres of music that I wanted to incorporate(and not incorporate). Fred listened carefully to every single request I had made including researching and finding more obscure songs that were not easy to get copies of. He was enthusiatic about my music choices and made me feel confident he knew exactly the type of music I wanted. On the night of the wedding everything came together perfectly. Fred played the music for our ceremony as well as reception. He worked so well with our wedding coordinator, Justice of the Peace, and photographer to make sure everything was timed perfectly. At the reception, Fred played exactly the music I had requested and made sure to play my most important requests at the perfect time when I would be able to enjoy them. He incorporated classics, country, dance, a little reggae, and rock songs, and they all flowed together seamlessly. The dance floor was going all night with people of all ages. Everyone said our wedding was so much fun and they have never danced so much, and Fred deserves a lot of the credit! Great DJ and great service!!

OK, the ceremony is complete, and now it's time for the real test....how to keep a crowd participating in the festivities. We all know that the music sets the tone for the evening. These are the occasions that require a professional like Fred Pappalardo to read the dynamics of the crowd. A fantastic playlist, request willingness, proper volume control management, fun crowd interaction and top notch equipment separates Fred from the rest.I don't know what else to say other than Fred exceeded all our expectations. Great Job!!

The one thing my husband and I were most concerned about for our wedding - was the dancing! We found a BIG dance floor and then needed a DJ to keep the floor full all night!! Fred P came highly recommended from a friend who said he played great music and had affordable prices!! After our first meeting w/ him - I knew that we had made the right choice. He knows what he is doing! He is fun, personable, professional - he has great suggestions and absolutely read our crowd and kept everyone on the dance floor ALL NIGHT. He even played a few extra songs for us at the end AFTER our contracted time was up. It was above and beyond our expectations. We strongly believe that the music can make or break the night - and he shook us ALL NIGHT LONG!! THANKS FRED!!

Clark Sillery was the DJ for our wedding on Oct 2, 2010 and we couldn't have been happier. Clark worked with us from the beginning to create the perfect playlist that we envisioned for our wedding. The cocktail hour and dinner music fit our musical tastes pefectly and after he kept our guest on the dance floor for the rest of the night. Clark is flexible, accomodating, a great guy, and a great DJ. We highly reccomend him.

DJ Fred Pappalardo did an AMAZING job at our wedding on Oct. 2, 2010. I received tons of compliments from the guests after the wedding saying that they've never had so much fun at a wedding. I'd like to take all the credit but the fun starts with the right music. Fred was professional and made living in MA and getting married in ME a piece of cake. Thanks Fred for an amazing wedding!

Fred was terrific! He was very professional and helped guide the night along perfectly! He wasn't obtrusive, he made the event about us and entertained when necessary. We had a great time and so did all of our guests! We did not sit down once after dinner, everyone danced until the night was over. He played everything we wanted to hear and music genres we told him we liked (he knows all the best songs to get people moving!) It was a great night and we were so happy we went with Fred Pappalardo! Thanks Fred!
-The Corsons

Our wedding was SO much fun! We would totally do it all over again! We worked with DJ Fred. When we were looking for DJs, we did not want any props and there were songs that we did not want to be played (and then a ton that we did)! DJ Fred was amazing at listening to all our requests and assuring us that it would be a blast. He was so great at editing our music to just how we wanted (we had a live version for our first dance song). Since our reception ended at 8PM, we were even able to book DJ Fred to play at our after-party! Our guests are still talking about what a great time they had and asking when we can do it again! The dance floor was always packed. DJ Fred did a great job of reading the crowd and making sure everyone was having fun. Thank you so much for everything! We would highly recommend working with DJ Fred!

My fiance and I chose to work with Clark Sillery of Fred Pappalardo Disc Jockeys for our wedding reception, and were very happy with the service we received. At our initial meeting, Clark made us feel comfortable about how he would handle the order of events of our reception, and even showed a video clip of a wedding he emceed at our chosen venue. On our wedding day, Clark kept our guests dancing all afternoon! He also provided my fiance and I with a CD of our selected wedding songs.

I am delighted to have a place to write a review for James McNally who was the DJ for my partner and I's wedding on 9/12/10. Prior to the wedding, James spent time on a Sunday with us to help us pick out music for our wedding. When we met with him he was open to whatever music we wanted to play and had great ideas and suggestions for what we might like that we hadn't thought about or didn't even know about. He has an amazing amount of music to choose from. When it came time for planning how music would help our service flow, James was great at helping us pick music that was just perfect for the different parts of the wedding and reception. He was great at guiding the two of us through the wedding, moving the order of ceremony along smoothly from the beginnig of us walking down the isle, through making announcements, our first dance, etc. Neither of us ever being married before, he even helped teach us how to cut our wedding cake. Our guests found him to be friendly and helpful and thoroughly enjoyed watching him play music as they would find him quietly moving and singing to whatever he was playing at the time. We can honestly say that our wedding was truly a great time for us and our guests, in part, by having James be our DJ. He is a wonderful guy, knows his craft, is professional, respectful and is really responsive. When we have our 25th anniversary party... James, if you ever read these reviews... we're only calling you, because in our book... you're the best.

Fred was the perfect choice for our wedding night. He gave us a nice introduction while entering the reception, kept the music at reasonable volume while eating, got everyone out onto the dance floor (from ages 20 to 80 years old), and he made sure that everything flowed in a perfect sequence. I can't say enough for how wonderful he made our night!

Fred was such an amazing DJ. He made our wedding so special for us. The music was perfectly set up. From beginning to end. All everyone wanted to do was dance, dance during dinner, dance before, after, and during. I gave him so many obscure songs to play and he put together the most beautiful array of music i have ever heard. He knew exactly what we wanted and what we liked. It was such a fun wedding! and i have Fred to thank for all the booties shaking! He was great, im so glad we picked right.

James McNally came to us by recommendation, which can always be a chance, I am so glad we took that chance!!!! We could not have asked for a better DJ!
We had a large range of music we were looking for and a few odd requests and he managed them all! The specific music we were looking for that he didn't have when we met with him prior to the wedding, he had at the wedding, which we most appreciated!
He stayed late at a moments notice, since our guests stayed long past midnight and he never faltered, just kept on playing! I am so glad we took the advice of a stranger and plan on using James in the future!

James McNally was the perfect DJ! Highly recommended!

Fred could not have come more highly recommended and he did not disappoint. He was friendly and professional throughout the process. He responded quickly, provided useful feedback, and could not have been more accommodating on the day of the wedding.

I took a chance and gave him very little instruction for "must plays" at the reception. I assumed that he knew better than I how to keep my guests on the dance floor and I was right. The only time we saw space at all on the dance floor were when he played a guest request!

At our wedding, we had the best time of our entire lives, and Doug Bounds from Fred Pappalardo DJs was a huge part of making that happen. Leading up to the wedding, we gave him an extensive list of what we wanted played (and what we didn't want played), and he figured out exactly what we were looking for. He was flexible, friendly, and was able to help us every step of the way. For us, the sign of a good DJ is when he fades into the background and everyone just enjoys the music. Doug did exactly that. He brought a top of the line sound system, played everything we wanted to hear and more, and he was subtle and understated. His prices are also more than reasonable - we got a great DJ without blowing our budget. Many guests approached us and told us how wonderful he was. We would highly recommend Doug to anyone looking for a DJ. Thanks, Doug!

Fred was not only an amazing DJ, but supportive with planning, the timeline of events and he even helped me connect with other great vendors. He ensured that the events flowed smoothly throughout the night. He has a fun, pleasant personality that is just the right balance. I would highly recommend Fred for any wedding or event!

I was very pleased to have James McNalley as a part of my wedding experience!!!!! Being an event coordinator, I was pleasantly surprised how organized James was compared to some of my other vendors. He was very on top of the details, and patient with my delayed responses during a very busy time in my life! My husband and I felt that he listened to all our concerns, and he provided excellent suggestions!!!

I was very specific about what I wanted, and I was very nervous that ANY person would be able to deliver.... considering all the details and playlists, and musicians performing and our large wedding party - he made it look easy!

THEN, our wedding ended around 10:15, and we told him that he was all set to leave for the night, and he insisted that he stayed until 11 because that's what he was paid for... even though we told him that he could go! So, he continued to dj while everyone cleaned up, and while family mingled.

Overall, he was very professional and an absolute pleasure to work with. He was very respectful, and you can tell that he loves what he does. All of our guests had an amazingggg time - I've heard from a number of people that it was the funnest wedding that they had ever been to, and I know that we would not have been able to achieve that without James.

We used Clark Sillery from Fred Pappalardo DJ's and couldn't have made a better choice. We liked Clark from the start! While we contracted with Clark long before the wedding, it was one of the last things that we got around to, meeting with Clark only days before our event (we live in VA)... Clark couldn't have been more accomodating and helpful. He worked with us on everything, including purchasing some out of the way songs that we requested.

Our wedding music was complimented by everyone, including the wedding coordinator at our reception location! We only had a small list of songs that we wanted to hear, and in addition to those Clark couldn't have picked a better line up!

We couldn't have asked for a better DJ. James kept the party going! He was good fun, played great music and was so helpful. Though the word helpful doesn’t seem to convey how James really came through for us. We put the wedding together fast… literally thrown together within 30 days, this wedding could have been a disaster. The wedding itself was outside and the reception was inside. James was all setup inside and ready go once the wedding ceremony was complete. But right before the ceremony we realized we hadn’t even thought of the bridal march song at all. James quickly jumped into action. He managed to get a portable player, speakers and of course the bridal march song all setup before the guests were fully seated. After the ceremony he helped us to corral the guest into the building where he proceeded to control the flow and altogether entertain the guests. James really helped to make our wedding day special and most of all carefree!

Experienced and very professional.

Fred was great. He kept our guests, young and old(er) out on the dance floor all night by mixing in music that he found the guests really dancing to. He listened to our must-plays and made the night very memorable for us and for our guests. Our guests loved the unique touches we put in by selecting different meaningful songs for entrance, dances, cake cutting, etc., and Fred played all of them for us. Music makes or breaks a party - Fred made ours. Thank you, Fred!

We used this DJ service and had a fantastic experience. James McNally was our DJ and he did an excellent job. He was very professional, but personable. He offered suggestions when we didn't know "which way to go" on entertainment matters, but he also really went the extra mile making us feel that it was OUR day. He worked with other vendors great, and just through an awesome party!! People had a lot of fun, and danced well into the night. I highly recommend Fred Pappalardo DJs and James McNally specifically.

We used DJ Clark Sillery from Fred Pappalardo Disc Jockeys service. He was amazing to work with! Very fun, easygoing, kept the dance floor packed with great music. We gave him quite a selection of songs that we wanted him to play,and he was totally fine with that. The music made our wedding perfect! We did not stop dancing at all! Everyone could ask requests and he played them within minutes! We would highly recommend this service, very affordable, good, reliable vendor.

James McNally was a pleasure to work with. He played great music, kept the crowd dancing, and was very flexible.

James McNally was the DJ at my wedding, and I couldn't have asked for a better DJ.

We had a Halloween wedding and we wanted to have a wedding that was definitely reflective of the holiday, without crossing the line of cheesy and kitchy, so we also wanted the sophisticated feel of a high end wedding mixed in.

Not an easy feat for most, but James mastered it! we gave him examples of songs we wanted, and he played every single one of them.

It was far from a traditional wedding reception, but he helped make it one of the best weddings any of my guests had ever been to. He even was able to help improvise on the spot changes when I couldn't coordinate some of the things I had originally planned to do.

I did most everything myself, including making my own wedding cake, because I had a hard time getting people to understand my vision. The few things I left to the professionals were the catering, the flowers and the dj'ing.

The florist did exactly the opposite that I wanted, they thought I should have a traditional bouquet, because all brides want that.....

The event hall and the DJ were completely understandable of my vision and were excited to be involved in such a "different" day. Because of that I had absolutely NO worries about the reception, James was beyond anything I could have imagined.

I even had given him the option to dress up in a costume if he wanted, but he insisted on keeping it professional and wear a tux. I would recommend James to anyone anytime, he is amazing!!!!

I am coming up on my 5th year anniversary this year and people still talk about that day and say it was the best wedding they had ever been to, I couldn't have done it without James!

I can't thank him enough!!!

Fred was great. He helped us pick our play list and was very professional. We were 100% happy with his services.

James McNally was the DJ for my wedding. Not only did I LOVE him as a DJ, my guests also had a great time! James was very professional and carried out all of my wishes to ensure that I had a PERFECT day. I could not have asked for a better DJ. He kept the events at my wedding running smoothly through out the reception and was entertaining every step of the way! My guests danced on through the night and were disappointed when the dancing had to stop...that my friends is because of our amazing DJ! I highly recommend James for your wedding!

Okay, Fred was amazing! Fred is five stars all the way. He listened to my husband and I with what we would want to hear on our wedding day, he made sure no corny wedding music was played, and by the end of the night he even mixed it up a bit with the music I enjoy dancing too. I absolutely recommend Fred to anyone getting married in the area.

Thank you Fred for a wonderful wedding! Rich and I celebrated our five year anniversary in August and I remember the day like it was yesterday. You made it a memorable experience.

I'm not sure how anybody could not get along with James Mcnally. Despite your claims otherwise, fl9wr, you apparently are bridezilla or the victim of poor planning. I am the head of event planning for one of the largest insuarance companies in the country, and have 20 years of experience in dealing with vendors of all types. I do have some clue what I'm talking about here. James travelled across 2 states to DJ our wedding, and did a spectacular job. Every detail was carried out exactly as we requested, every song played at the right time. In fact, towards the end of the night, at our request, he was playing songs that he did not have in his library off of our guests Ipods. It wasn't until later that we found out he was rather ill and barely made it through the reception. We could not have asked for more professionalism, caring and apt handling of our most special day. I would not hesitate to recommend him to friends, family and everyone else.

We used James for our wedding DJ and he was awesome. He played all the songs that we wanted and suggested so many that we hadn't even thought of. He did a wonderful job setting the mood. Everyone was dancing and having a great time. He was always polite to my guest and played songs that they requested. If I ever need a DJ again I will deffinitely use James again.

We are so happy we selected Fred for our DJ. We originally had thought about another DJ, until we spoke to Fred. We were so happy with his rate and his professionalism. His experience shone through while he was explaining his services. He invested a lot of time for preparation with our music selections, making sure things went smoothly. We had a vocalist, and Fred worked with her for the ceremony. Everything went just as planned. He was awesome. He was so nice and very accomodating. He had the top of the line equipment!! The sound was incredible and clear but not too loud for our guests. He helped to make our day so special. Music was a big part of our day, and Fred understood that and really cared. Thank you so much Fred!!!

DJ Fred is AMAZING! He was recommended to us by one of the other vendors and we couldn't be happier with his service! His service and experience are unbelievable. He gave us great suggestions for the flow and order of our reception to maximize social time. The music mix was perfect for all our guests. There was NO dead air or wasted moments with Fred, he made every second memorable and beyond fun. Please use DJ Fred!!

Fred was a wonderful DJ and we were so pleased to have him at our wedding. We received many compliments on how great his array of music was and how much fun it was, every one was dancing the entire night. We would highly recommend using DJ Fred for any event you may have. Thank you so much for a memorable night we will always be happy to recommend you!!

Fred provided our DJ services and was wonderful to work with. We planned our wedding from a distance, and he was very responsive to emails and phone calls. We actually only met once in person before the event, and felt completely comfortable with that. Fred played music that appealed to all our guests, and even had people dancing most of the day, despite our reception being in the afternoon on a beautiful day in an indoor/outdoor setting. Fred is a great DJ and I would highly recommend him for your wedding.

Clark was a great DJ- he got to know who we were as a couple, what our style is, and exactly what type of ambiance we wanted to obtain on our wedding day. He took detailed notes and followed through to perfection. He wasn't a DJ who was interruptive with ad lib. We were married on a sunny day at a venue that overlooked the ocean. And even with a gorgeous day and venue, Clark still got everyone to dance- even those folks who don't typically like to! He's a professional for sure. We highly recommend!

We nded up with James McNally (none of the other DJ's were available for our date)- he was horrible - where do I start?!. I gave him a list of songs I wanted played and when, and he skipped over half of them. I told him I wanted to allow for guests to request songs, and he was rude to more than one of my guests saying he wasnt going to play them - he was so rude that my guests actually had to come up to me and say something....so once I went over to him to tell him to let my guests give requests, he actually fought me! I also requested to skip ahead to certain songs, and he once again fought me when I asked him to skip ahead

He brought up at the end of the wedding night that we owed him the rest of his money for that day - in which we had already paid, and he had ALREADY CASHED! He looked into it, and realized he was wrong.
I was in no way a bridezilla, actually I am an extremely nice and friendly person who really gets along with everyone, but he was just horrible and was so hard to get along with and have him understand what I really wanted at my wedding.

On the other hand, Fred was very apologetic to me about James when he called to follow up with me and I told him our experience, and I know a friend of mine had Fred DJ and was very pleased. I just wish that after knowing the horrible way James handled our wedding he would have fired him - unfortuntely he didnt and other couples will have to blindly endure his terrible Dj'ing. The only reason I am even giving this 1-1/2 stars is because Fred really was a wonderful person to meet and he really was unhappy that we were treated so poorly.

I have had the pleasure of working alongside Fred Pappalardo DJ's at countless weddings and can honestly say that they don't come any better. If you want a DJ that will pack your dance floor to capacity, Fred and his crew are definitely the right fit for you.

It's with sincere confidence that I would endorse Fred Pappalardo and his team for your next event. His staff is both professional and well rehearsed in being your selection for your most special occaision, wedding or other life event.
