Music In Motion Entertainment

I'm so glad I went with Music in Motion for my wedding! The minute I walked into the office, I knew it was the DJ I was going to go with. They were prompt, professional, and quick to give me any information I needed. I had email responses within the day. Our DJ for the reception was Aaron, and I couldn't have been happier with him. He was easy going, but kept everything professional. He really pulled the ceremony together, and was receptive to working with a smaller reception. I would definitely recommend Music in Motion!

Mike at Music in Motion really came through for us on our wedding day and helped make the whole thing an experience we will never forget. Even weeks after the wedding we keep hearing that everyone had a blast and that it was the most up beat exciting wedding they had been to. Mike really helped make that possible. The value we were given for being off season as well as the flexibility to add a photo booth last minute was awesome. He really worked at making our experience personal. Really the best service we could have asked for. Not only was the DJ service excellent but the Photo booth was great value and So much fun - totally worth every penny.

Music In Motion was awesome! Aaron was our DJ and he was perfect. From the very beginning, he made us feel comfortable and we knew he would get in all our requests. Not only did he play all the music we had requested, but he was great about taking requests from our friends and family. We had fun and to see that all of our guests enjoy themselves on our special day made us very happy and there are no words that can describe the joy we felt. We are so glad we choose Music In Motion. They helped create a memory that will last a lifetime for all of us.

The owner himself was the DJ for my wedding. He couldn't keep people dancing and emptied the dance floor several times. The music at times was distorted and the choices the DJs chose were extremely cheesy. One of the lighting pieces for the up lighting was broken. The sales pitch given in our introductory meeting wasn't the service that was provided. The owner spoke of his lengthy experience in the field but his segways in between songs were terrible!! There is a seemingly helpful website that allows bride/grooms to outline their day, but many of the ideas written and specified were not followed during the actual event. I felt that this service was extremely impersonal at its delivery and the sales pitch was nothing but a way to get money. Very disappointed!!

My husband and I could not have asked for a better DJ for our wedding! Our guests are still talking about how much fun they had and how awesome our DJ was. He paid close attention to all the details of my wedding, whether big or small. I felt like I was annoying and changing things constantly but Mike NEVER made me feel that way and assured me that this was the most important day in my life and he would do whatever I wanted. Thank you for making my day so special.

" I could not have been happier with my DJ and Videographer. Jim was the DJ and Tom the Video man for our wedding. My girlfriend had recommended I book Music In Motion. So glad she did! Jim played all our music and was a great MC host. He was not intrusive at all but had the right amount of energy when it was called for. Tom captured all the memories without us ever knowing he was there! The video was received about a month after the honeymoon and we watch it ever week. It is so beautiful. "

"I can see why my friends recommend Music In Motion. I attended a friends wedding and Music In Motion was their DJ. We had a blast and just had to get his card. We signed up with them the next day. We were so excited because we knew the end result was going to be great!! Mike was our DJ. He was great and the wedding turned out to be success! He ran things smoothly and we were very comfortable with his music choices. He was very energetic and got our friends up off their chairs to dance with us. Preplanning was so easy. We loved the online planner that is available right on their web site. We were able to customize the music we wanted and all the special requests. Before the reception, Mike sat down with us and reviewed everything. He made us feel very comfortable. We made a great choice having Music In Motion!"

Music In Motion provided us a DJ Package, Architectural and the Dancing with the Stars Lighting and Photo Booth for our wedding. Everything was wonderful and the staff was so very helpful.We love our memory album from the photo booth and the guests just had the greatest time taking pictures. The DJ had the floor filled all night and the lighting was spectacular! When they turned the lighting on it instantly gave the room character and completely changed the atmosphere. It was very beautiful and stunning to see. We had one color for most of the night and had requested they change the colors for dancing. They changed the colors to the beats of the music which was pretty cool. They had executed it quite well . Everything was so easy, we had no problems and they gave us exactly what we wanted, which was a wonderful night. 5 stars and much appreciation to Music In Motion!

They rocked
Our DJs were amazing! The guests were having an excellent time and I got to stand back and watch what an awesome party we were having. Total fun had by all. Highly recommended!

Awesome people, awesome work!! We were so happy as were all our family and friends. They listened to all my crazy requests and made it perfect!

We had Aaron as our DJ! He was professional, courteous and really knew his stuff when it came to packing the dance floor. All our guests had a blast and the compliments continue to pour in. We are very pleased that we had Music In Motion for our special day!

We had Jim as our DJ. He was totally professional, courteous, and brought great enthusiasm to our wedding. He had an eye for the details. He was also wonderful to work with in the planning stages, and there for us. If we had a question, he would get back to us right away. Overall, Music In Motion exceeded every expectation we had set from our entertainment.

I hired Music In Motion to do lighting at our wedding. The DJ we had booked did not offer lighting so after meeting Mike at a bridal show, felt that adding uplighting would bring a nice touch. We just could not say enough about how beautiful the lighting was, and the fact that Music In Motion had a technician who stayed to operate things for the entire event. I can't imagine if we did not add the lighting. It was fabulous!

There were a couple of times I waited longer than I wanted to to hear back about questions, but- in the end- they made our wedding one great party. Maybe I was just being a nervous bride and they took things in stride more than me, but I can't even complain about it after the fact. Everything went flawlessly and all our guests were up dancing the entire night.

Mike, you did a GREAT job!!! All of our guests commented on how great the music was and the music selections. We only had a 100 person wedding and you kept the dance floor packed! You did great keeping the party going and there were no slow/dull points at all throughout the night. People actually commented to us, how great the DJ was. THANKS for such a great performance. A good combination of fast and slow songs. We LOVED our up lighting and monogrammed lighting with our names and wedding date. Our guests commented on how nice the room looked with all the different color up lighting. THANKS again for making our wedding reception a great party!!! From, Amanda and John

We booked Music In Motion's Ultimate package, which basically bundles together everything they offer. They provided us DJs, Photo Booth, Lighting, a live Jazz Trio and Videography. I can say that from top to bottom, everything was exceptional and all the players total professionals. It was great to cut one check and receive so many great services under one roof. Great work MinM!

Let me begin by first saying that we used MIM's services for 2 DJs, a photobooth, dance floor lighting, and up lighting - a big chunk of the bill. That being said, we are so disappointed in this company

1- DJ asked the bridal party how to pronounce their names, but did not ask how to pronounce mine, even though I had corrected him previously at our consultation meeting. He pronounced my name wrong a total of three times before I was able to correct him.

2- My bridesmaids had a bet going with me that I lost, so they were able to take ONE song off our do not play list. I specifyed the song to the DJ and told him it would be okay to play. However, some of our family members were aware of another song we did not wish to be played, and as a joke, asked the DJ to play it as well. In our initial meetings, we had asked him how he would handle such a situation, and we were assured that he would not play the songs we specified no matter how many times he was asked.  Imagine our surprise when we heard the song being introduced and played all the way through. After the song, when I went over to the DJ to tell him that no other songs were to be played off the do not play list, he got very defensive, saying that certain family members were asking him several times to play it. I told him that the song was on my list for a reason and he should have cleared it with me first, at which point he said, "Well, sorry" and turned away from me without another word.

3- The quality of the photo booth was not to our expectations.  Our guest book looks cheap, and the photos were not the great quality that was boasted in our initial meetings. My phone could take better pictures than the photo booth did.

Even though this company appears professional from the start, I did not find that the professionalism translated to their work when it actually mattered.  I would not recommend this company and if I could do it all over again, I would definitely look elsewhere for all of these...

We had a great experience with Music in Motion for our wedding this past August 17, 2012. Our reception was at the Riverview in Simsbury, CT, which Mike from (MIM) was very familiar with. We purchased the two DJs, Uplighting, Dancefloor Lighting, Ceiling Illumination, Videographer and Photobooth from them. Everything was great, the lighting was powerful and made for a beautiful reception. The Ceiling Illumination was an extra package that was well worth it and made for beautiful dancing.

The Videographer was contracted out through MIM, and he was great. Very personable, not pushy at all, very professional and easy going (which was great given all the other stress of the day!).

The DJs themselves were awesome as well. Mike was the Master of Ceremony and he is great on the microphone. He too is very personable and likeale to the crowd of guests. Weddding games, announcements, all of it was taken care of by him. The way you select music through MIM is so easy too, it's all web based! Special songs were not an issue, as they could pretty much get you any random, odd based song you request!

Overall, this company is the best of the best. You get what you pay for with them! They are not the cheapest out there, but who wants a budget entertainment for your wedding? It was worth every penny we spent on them and would recommend them to anyone looking to have an awesome time at their wedding!

-Michael and Megan

If you want personal touches added to your wedding, this is your DJ!

We loved our DJ and the lighting! Music In Motion also provided us a videographer and the video is excellent. Every guest was up and dancing. All our requests were played and the floor was jammed all night with dancing feet.
A wonderful job by Music In Motion!

Music in Motion did a wonderful job from start to finish. They were very professional and easy to work with. The website used to select your music choices and set up wedding day details is straight forward, well organized, and very user friendly. I loved it! It is every bride’s dream. On the wedding day, DJ Aaron did an amazing job. I couldn’t have wanted it to go any better, it was perfect. Overall, I would definitely recommend Music in Motion. They were the best!

Music In Motion, was definitely worth every penny!!!! We hired Mike Fernino for our wedding and couldn't have been more pleased We only had one initial meeting and I knew immediately that he was the DJ for us. Wedding planning is time consuming enough, I didn't want to hire someone that we would have to check up on every minute. I wanted someone that knew exactly what we wanted and trusted to carry out our requests and he did just that! We also wanted him to please our guests and make them as happy as we were and HE WAS RIGHT ON and then some! My family and friends were RAVING ABOUT WHAT A GREAT JOB THEY HAD DONE!! Mike knew how to make everyone happy.

Mike is a cool dude! Excellent at his job. Professional all the way and showed up extra early to set up. Very reliable! I would highly recommend him to anyone and use his company again in the future. You cannot go wrong with Music In Motion! HIRE Music In Motion for your event, you will be glad you did!!!

We loved our DJ and lighting guys! Dave Krevalin and Miguel. DJ Dave was awesome and had great ideas when it came to intros, timelines, etc...These two really made our wedding amazing! Thank you so much DJ Dave and Miguel!!! Couldn't have done it without you!!!

I had the pleasure of working with Mike and Steve and they did a fantastic job with my music and entertainment. I was a bit nervous about the lack of communication between when we booked and the date of our event. Although I emailed questions and called, I was frequently not called back. I became distraught when, three days before the wedding, I had still not heard from them. However, on the day of the wedding, Mike and Steve were very professional and calm and handled absolutely every aspect with ease. They were flexible in incorporating some of our alternative music and requests and it was great to have them handle everything for us.

I can’t speak to their DJ services. However, we utilized their services for a photo booth for our wedding and the quality of the pictures and their customer service was very poor. You would expect that if you pay over $1000 for a service that the vendor would be sure to deliver a quality product. After going back and forth with technician several times prior to our wedding they still did color pictures instead of black and white, transposed the date and formatted the spacing wrong. In addition, after reviewing the thumbnail drive that provided us we found several pictures that did not make it our guestbook. When I finally got a chance to speak to the owner he told me that I would have to speak to the technician as opposed to him, only offered to reprint the pictures again and was not willing to provide me with any type of partial refund. It was by far the worst experience I had with any of the people we worked with for our wedding and in no way would be able to recommend them to any of my friends.

Great job! Beautiful uplighting, fun music, the photobooth is a MUST!! If you're thinking about it, it's totally worth the investment. Gets guests off their butts and has them interacting!
We were very happy with Music in Motion!

My husband and I couldn't be happier with Music In Motion. From the very beginning at out first appointment planning to the end result played out to be a huge success.

They are very reliable, accommodating, and resourceful. I remember we got there early for our appointment and Mike was very well organized and ready to meet us right away. He met us with a smile and was very well educated and had an awesome personality. We automatically knew he was serious about his business and that we could trust that he would do a great job at our wedding.

On our wedding day, we had a few last minute changes to our music and our dj was able to reorganize the playlist without any problems what so ever. He also took requests with ease. Our family and friends had a great time! We also had gotten the architectural lighting with them and the colors were AMAZING and UNFORGETTABLE! Definitely worth the extra money.

Everything was perfect! Thank you Music In Motion for making my dream wedding come true!

Music in Motion did an AMAZING with our wedding!!! Mike and Steve were professional, easy to work with, and knowledgeable. Their online planning tools were very helpful and offered a ton of song selections and ideas for the wedding. They also had some creative and unique ideas that our guests had never seen at a wedding before and loved! Everything went very smoothly from the early planning stages through the very last song. We received numerous compliments from our families and friends, commenting on how well the event was run and the song selections. The dance floor was packed all night, and everyone had a blast!! They really got everyone involved and set the energy high from the moment the reception started. We could not have asked for a more perfect day : )

Was VERY unhappy with the service. Songs that were not on the song list were played others that were on the list were not played. The wrong song was played when I walked down the aisle. The dj was very low energy. The opposite of what we asked for. Did not respond to emails for long periods of time. And was not responsive to our concerns after the wedding.

If you are looking for a DJ service that goes above and beyond Look No Further!! They have been in business for over 25 years!!! We had an April Wedding, we had Mike and his brother Steve I believe was his name. He not only offered DJ services and was super easy to work with, but also has wonderful blogs, and helpful tips for the busy bride. He played all the music that was our favorites, and after meeting with us a few times knew our style and what kind of wedding we wanted to have. The dance floor was packed all night it was a blast. Thanks Music in Motion for making my wedding the best day of my life. I would recommend to everyone!!!!

If you are unsure of who to go with for a DJ look no further! Music in Motion is beyond amazing. You will not go wrong and will not regret the decision to book them. They are experienced, professional, and their work is beyond words! I had a day wedding and to pull off having the dance floor packed and moving is quite a task but they pulled it off with ease. THEY KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING! I know it gets overwhelming trying to guess who to go with but seriously if you want a day you wont forget and can have one less thing to worry about book Music in Motion. They are unbelievable!

I have had the absolute pleasure to attend a few weddings that Mike and his colleagues entertained and at every single wedding they did an exceptional job at fulfilling the bride and grooms expectations and made the guests feel really comfortable to have a wonderful time. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Mike and his staff at Music in Motion!!!! They listen to your needs and only provide the best out there and set the standard of excellence in their field with terriffic lighting and music entertainment.

It was my daughters wedding day to her military fiance who was in Iraq until a month before the wedding date so i was helping my her out with everything.
I researched the choices given to my daughter as part of a Wedding Package for their reception venue and thought I found the perfect DJ. NOT!
As part of their reception package was Music in Motion as one of the DJ options. My daughter and I went there to speak to Mike the owner, who showed up late with no phone call to us as we waited in the parking lot, (business door locked), wondering if he was coming. When he finally got there and after listening to him I asked him specific questions. Mike knew; being one of the facilities vendors, exactly which room the reception was in, the decor of the room, and the color theme we were going with, and he showed us what they offered.
After showing what they offered we went with the gobo light effect, dance floor lighting, neon at night necklaces, and upon his suggestion the architectural lighting to change the color of the curtains in the room because we discussed how we didn't like them,(a gold bronze color), and even showed us picture on-line of how they could transform the whole room in purple. Even though the reception facility had architectural lighting, Mike guaranteed us theirs was better and he "could make the color of the curtains disappear" I believe were his exact words.
I specifically asked him if he would be the DJ that day or if they would send someone we didn't know. He told us it would him.
To our surprise a few weeks before the wedding someone other than Mike called my daughter saying that he, Dave Salonia would be her DJ that day. I called and asked Mike why and to my surprise he now stated "he never said it would be him."
My daughter and several of her family members spent several nights making a extensive song list and requests for DJ Dave as he requested. She met with him and went over everything and even though she wasn't comfortable with his attitude towards her, thought it would turn out OK.
The day of the wedding DJ Dave showed up late; not the hour ahead like stated on there web page, and they were walking through the guests that were waiting with speakers and equipment as the guests were told they couldn't be seated until the DJ finished setting up.
DJ Dave then proceeded to not even introduce himself or even say Hello upon entering the bridal suite where we were all waiting, wondering what was taking so long to start, He began ordering everyone in a hurry to get in line and no one even knew who he was except for my daughter who was not in the room when he first entered.
He rushed through everything, one after the other. The couples first dance, the parents of the bride dance, and the grandparents of the brides dedication dances, were done one after the other in a hurry.
I the person who was paying for the event and the special lighting went up to the DJ and asked him "where is the special lighting that was suppose to be on the curtains as i discussed with Mike" and he rudely told me "you have the lighting", and I said "but it's not the architectural lighting I paid for on the curtains" and he said "it is the architectural lighting, that's what it is." So let me help you visualize what we had. It was lighting in the front of the room and rear of the room in the same spots as the reception facilities lighting, and there was nothing on either side of the room where the curtains were, which was the whole reason I purchased the extra lighting in addition to what the facility had. Two sides of the room were in total darkness where the bridal party tables were, the Venetian table, and the cake, were all in almost complete darkness.
Then a birthday request was made by the bride as part of the extensive list she submitted to him weeks before the wedding, and he announced it with the parents of the brides names, twice getting it wrong, before he got it right and the guests didn't know what was going on nor did we.
Also, most of the songs we had on the list weren't played and if someone went up to him to request one of them he said he didn't have it. There was also a dedication song to the brides Aunt and Uncle he didn't play and when the Aunt went to ask him to play it he said he couldn't, the bride would get mad, so my daughter had to go up there and show him it was on the list and ask him to play it before he did.
In addition to all this, I paid for neon at night necklaces that my daughter wanted given out and played to a song and we never got either of them.
The only good part of the whole DJ package was the photo booth. The attendant, I think his name was Robert, was very nice and pleasant and we all enjoyed it very much except for my 70yr. old neighbor who tripped over the DJ's dance floor light stand that was set up right next to the booth. She was returning from the booth, trip over the leg of the stand, and without an apology to my neighbor nor an "are you alright", the DJ just put a chair in front of the stand,and went about what ever he was doing, (maybe creating the song list, not sure).
Within the next few days when contacting Mike about everything, Mike said he would have to speak to Dave and get back to me. When he finally did, Mike said that DJ Dave forgot the neon necklaces and was sorry, and would refund us what we paid for them, but Mike wanted nothing to do with excepting responsibility for his DJ's rudeness, lack of professionalism, (late set up, reason for most of the evening being rushed, and I believe the reason why the lighting wasn't what was discussed, nor the music not being available that an extensive list was submitted for), or concern for our guest. All Mike state,(per copy and paste of correspondence), was "He used his judgment not to put lighting on the curtains because of the purple color selected. Purple would not look good on the bronze curtains. That was his call and I stand behind it. When you saw photos of the lighting at my office, the colors were not purple as colors represent differently." So I then stated
"you new fully what the curtains colors were and looked liked, and that we wanted purple lighting per our conversation prior to contracting you. It was your suggestion and encouragement to get the lighting because you said you could hide the color of the curtains. I took your advice when you told me you would "change the color of the curtains so I would not have to see them", I believe were your exact words. I was not given what you told me would be done to the room lighting as per your on line pictures you showed us would be done. I was convinced by you to get the lighting to hide the ugly curtains, and I was not happy with the outcome. Are you now telling me that David is more knowledgeable than you as far as lighting? Did you just tell me it could be done without really knowing? Please let me know, so I am clear in what I let known." I received no response back from Mike!!
So now I ask, Is this a DJ's customer service or is this a company who can't handle every venue and make it special for all, to the customers satisfaction and agreement with them? Maybe it's just poor communication between their employees and Dave never new about the lighting discussion; hence why I specifically asked Mike if he, the person we were speaking to, contracting with, and giving all our concerns to, was going to be the one doing the reception. How does a service get ratings, and why are the ones that are not so satisfactory end up at the bottom of the reviews? Also on some review boards it only shows a couple for each year, so how are they rated so high per year? Where are the rest of the reviews. What happens to the other negative reviews? What will happen to this one when I post it?
I guess I will have to wait and see.
Being compensated for poor service that was paid for and discussed in minute detail is not really the issue here. If it was, I would just take Music in Motion to small claims for $35.. Owning up to and apologizing for errors made is!! In addition the fact that I see only some reviews on review boards; (because I can't believe that's all there are) and I now wonder how legit they are. I cannot believe the issues and poor service we had, not to mention items forgotten, like songs! We were not happy with the outcome and when expressed to the owner, he just didn't care and ignored correspondence. To me that is the issue!!!

Absolutly amazing!! Accomodating and so helpful! Photobooth was awesome!

Words can not say enough they are wonderful !!! They made my wedding so much fun And the lighting was beautiful!!!! Love these guys

Absolutely the best DJs ever!! They also provided us a photo booth which was awesome! We had a wonderful day thanks to Music In Motion!!!

we used music in motion for our wedding and had the worst experience ever with them. They were totally un profressional and they messed up everything. we were told you get what you pay for with dj's so we picked these guys cus they were the most expensive and promised to make our wedding flawless. well they did the total opposite. they werent even done setting up when our guests arrived. then they announced the father of the bride as the step fathers name. BIG NO NO!! they didnt play half of the music we requested. and to top it all off we payed extra for their architectual up lighting that we were told would be in the entire room. however when we walked in they only had the lights around part of the dance floor and the entire dining room had none of these lights. they totally lied to us. then when we contacted them to see if they would compensate us for their short comings, they basically told us we were S.O.L. they made excuse after excuse for their piss poor performance and took no accountability for their performance... If you use this company you will basically be paying for a Mercedes Benz and getting a Kia sephia.

Our DJ Gary was awsome! He listened to our wants and requests and excuted them flawlessly. I will use you and your Djs every chance I get and recomend your Djs every chance I get! He kept the party moving and he kept us smiling. Fiona and I couldn't stop looking at each other and asking, "Whats better than this?" Thankyou and many thanks to Gary for making "Magic" I have no other words than that! =)

We hired Music in Motion Entertainment to DJ our wedding. We were very satisfied with the quality of service as well as their flexiblility and availability. Planning for our wedding was not easy and we knew that we wanted our guests as well as ourselves to enjoy our once in a life time wedding! We were given all materials to go over and pick and choose at our leisure. When we were ready to sign a contract it was mailed to us promptly. We were able to pay as we went and an invoice was sent to us via email confirming payment and balance. We were lucky to have 2 prime DJ's for our wedding. Dave Salonia was the primary master of ceremony and Roberto Velez. Our guests RAVED about how much fun they had! We were out on the dance floor before the food was served! Thats how great it was! We could not have been happier. We met with the DJs before the big day to go over last minute details and specifics. It was handled with up most care and professionalism that I had no worries on my wedding day. It felt so good to just sit back and enjoy. I had a couple of last minute changes that I wasn't sure were do-able but Dave Salonia came through for US! It was wonderful. I would recommend Music in Motion Entertainment for your wedding!

Mike & Steve were great. Very professional and organized, great MC's as well as DJs. All equipment seemed very advanced and music sounded great. Website was easy to use & I was able to personalize my wedding music. The website and Mike were also helpful at providing music ideas. Quick response to my questions. I purchased the up-lightly which looked so beautiful and really gave my reception venue character.

Our DJ service was included in our venue package however, the DJ assigned to us, Robert Wright, was professional, poised, confident and well dressed for our reception. We hit it off immediately upon meeting.

The only downside was that we had a day wedding so getting people up on the dance floor was a bit difficult but Bob did the best he could. By the time our guests drank the bar dry and were ready to dance, our time was up at the venue. We had picked a wide variety of music but had only a short time span. My guests only negative comment was "Where were the other line dances (electric slide, macarena) they wanted?" Other than that it was an excellent time by all.

Overall I was very happy with the end result. Music in Motion did a great job with transitions, introductions and providing a great mix with mostly all of our requested songs. Their energy and ability to work a crowd was also very good.

I think what I was most upset with was the preparation leading into the event which left me to feel a little anxious. We had to have our meeting over the phone a week before my wedding because our DJ had no other time For other vendors like the photographer or videographer this may work fine; however, for the DJ who has so much responsibility during the entrire reception, we would have liked to have met face to face. We also had a lot of trouble getting in contact with our DJ for other questions and reasons, and many of our voicemails were rarely were returned to us or returned in a timely fashion. .

I have been to my fair share of weddings where the DJ was absolutely atrocious and you think to yourself "I hope they didn't overpay for this shmuck".

Trust me, you will not feel this way if you go with Music In Motion, especially Dave Salonia. Their online planning tool is extremely easy and convenient, it's also very expansive. Just for the hell of it I typed in obscure songs and the system spit the song out every time. Dave was very quick to respond to any inquiries we had and made the whole process painless.

Everyone has heard the horror stories of how the DJ made the reception all about himself with ridiculous antics (I could tell you a story of a DJ that talked through the bride and groom's first dance but I'll spare you), Dave was not that way at all. His level of involvement and interaction was perfect.

I can honestly say that there wasn't a moment in the night that the dancefloor wasn't packed (Ok maybe at dinner time but that's expected). It was a great mix of music and everyone young and old were on their feet.

Thanks again Dave! You made our big day that much better!

B.J.

Steve and Mike were absolutely excellent! They were timely, professional, and were masters at the microphone! They added and style and personality to the event. They were very accomodating, as they listened to what we wanted, and more importantly, what we didn't want. They had plenty of helpful suggestions for updated versions of "traditional stuff" and help to really make our event our own, with our own personal touch! Very knowledgeable, excellent quality, and easy to work with! Steve and Mike were absolutely excellent! They were timely, professional, and were masters at the microphone!

They also have a videography part of the business that we used. Tom, the videographer, was great! He had lots of helpful hints, was unobstrusive that day, and is really easy to work with! Another A+.

We would highly recommend Music In Motion for your wedding or event! Our DJ, Dave Salonia, did an incredible job. We, along with our guests, danced the entire night. He had such great energy, and his experience is really evident in the service he provided. We have received so many compliments on how much fun our reception was and how awesome our DJ was. Dave was very professional and helpful through the whole planning process. He went out of his way to find special music we were looking for. He worked with the photographers and reception venue to ensure the night went smoothly and was perfect for us.

Music In Motion also provided us with our uplighting for the venue which turned out beautiful!

I wish there were ten stars to give Music in Motion. From the initial interview with Mike until our wedding day everything was professional and perfect. Mike was honest and helpful will all of our planning. Mike and Steve were wonderful and our dancefloor was full all night long. Even my three year old nephew brok...e the heels off of his shoes dancing way past his bed time! We debated the architectural lighting and once we saw it in person and in pictures, we can't beleive we even questioned it. It made the room even more beautiful than it already is on the West side of The Waterview on June 18th. Mike was a great MC and we wish the night never ended. I would recommend Music in Motion to anyone in need of a DJ for any type of event! Thanks again, we look forward to using you again in the future!! Marissa and Dan Esteves

Dave Salonia was our dj. We are an older couple with our guests ranging from 3-88, mostly older. We wanted this wedding to rock, and Dave made it happen. He was receptive to our needs, extremely easy to work with, and got back to us, from the very first phone call to the last, quickly and exactly. We had asked him for some very special requests during the wedding and were concerned they could happen. He not only orchestrated them beautifully, but went far beyond our expectations. We had asked him to play a certain piece of music as soon as we were pronounced man and wife and when he did (perfectly timed), the guests went wild. He had everyone on their feet all night long! He quality of his service was the highest, his professionalism impeccable and the cost was very reasonable for the amount of hours and work he invested in our wedding. Your dj can make or break your wedding,although our setting was spectacular, our menu over the top, Dave was, without question, the star of this wedding. I could not be more adamant on recommending the best dj I have ever experienced in my many, I mean Many weddings over the years. Dave is THE MAN !!!!!

We had Dave Salonia from Music In Motion...and he was great. My husband and I danced the whole entire night of our reception. He was friendly, and really made our reception fun for everyone. We would reccommend him for anyone looking to have a agreat day!!!

Dave Salonia of Music in Motion is definately a must have!! He provided us with an experience we will never forget.. His professionalism, and knowledge of the music industry is a true testament to his love for music and making your reception the best it can be....we got endless complements of how he kept the dance floor rocking with great music!! We also had a few last minute changes which he accomodated flawlessly........another aspect that dave was great at is we gave him the decision-making on what music to play...we gave ideas about what groups we like and some songs that had to be played but other than that we left it up to him(we are not that muscially inclined), and he did a fantastic job relating what we like to what he played!! We would highly recommend dave and music in motion for your wedding!! On a side note get the gobo lighting, it gives your day that special touch!! Thanks for everything dave!!!!!

Music in Motion Entertainment and, in particular, Dave Salonia, did a great job at our wedding. We engaged Music in Motion Entertainment because two of their DJs performed at a co-worker's wedding and they did such a fantastic job in getting everyone out on the dance floor. Dave did an even better job at our wedding. He spent a lot of time with us to make sure that he understood what we wanted for the ceremony music, which was very non-traditional and somewhat eclectic, and he made some very helpful suggestions. He also made sure that he knew what our music tastes were and what the age distribution of our guests would be so that he would play music during the reception that people could not help but dance to. He did such an incredible job that people literally danced from 8 pm to midnight. The place was rocking! He also did a great job in personalizing the introductions of people close to us, the "newlyweds", and some other special recognitions we asked him to make. We had the best time at our wedding and came home to three "thank you" notes from guests telling us that it was the best wedding they ever attended. Music in Motion Entertainment and Dave Salonia deserve a lot of the credit. We also rented a photo booth for the reception and everyone had a blast taking their "strip" of pictures. It also provided us with a nice keepsake since the guests could keep one strip of pictures for themselves and glue the second strip into a photo album and write a message to us. I highly recommend Music in Motion Entertainment to anyone who is considering a DJ for their wedding -- you'll end up with an invaluable partner in planning your special day.

I loved our DJ..he kept everyone on their feet.. it was so much fun.. music does make the wedding!! And our wedding was great.. we loved the music..Mike even helped my guest w/ the moves to one of the songs.. great dJ

My daughter just got married and Music In Motion Entertainment was UNBELIEVABLE”. Mike the DJ was FABULOUS. He kept the music flowing and the dance floor was never empty. I had an age range from 11 to 92 and I had so many compliments that it was the best wedding anyone has ever attended. The architectural lighting gave the vendor an elegant atmosphere that made it a dream come true. I would recommend Music In Motion Entertainment to all who are planning on getting married.

We hands down knew we wanted to work with Music in Motion because of their reputation, and they do not disapoint. I also recommend using their uplighting. My wedding was not only a blast, but it looked amazing!

Dave Salonia from the Music in Motion crew truly made our wedding reception unforgettable! He played just the right mix of songs to keep the dance floor packed all night long!!!! Our guests were raving about the music the entire time!! We also rented room lighting from Music in Motion and it added a beautiful glow to the room. It was a pleasure working with him and we would highly recommend Dave and/or Music in Motion to anyone looking for a DJ!!!

Thank you so much for everything you did for our wedding on Halloween. You were amazing! Everyone had a blast and we were so pleased with the sound. The live musicians went above and beyond our expectations making our wedding an absolute dream come true. I wanted to say how thrilled we were to have the day work as wonderfully as it did and to thank you for being a part of the most fabulous day of our lives.

I would recommend Music in Motion over and over again. From the moment my husband and I came to the office for our first consultation, we felt not only comfortable, but they made us feel their excitement, love, and professionalism in djing. Jim was our DJ this past October of 2009. He went over all of our choices, gave... us suggestions, and even mixed a preview of our entrance music during our meeting. He was fun, energetic, and professional. He took our playlist and tweeked it so that each song fit amazingly with the song before it. The dance floor was packed from dinner til the very last dance! Some people didn't even eat because they were dancing up a storm! We were extremely happy, and our guests are still talking about the fun they had!

-Jennifer & Andrew Grivalsky

Dave Salonia is the best DJ! He got all our guest up and dancing the whole evening! Dave was very professional and granted all our music requests. Our families backgrounds are very different and Dave was able to mix latin/spanish songs in with 60's oldies and bigband swing music to make everyone feel confortable. We would recommend Dave to any couple looking for a high energy, professional, fun DJ!

Music in Motion is a fantastic DJ service! We had our wedding in the beginning of October and our only request was to have our guests up and dancing the whole night and thats exactly what they did! Music was great, energy level was great, and we've had awesome feedback from many of our guests about the fun time that they had and about how they haven't danced that much in years! Our DJ was Dave Salonia, we were told he was great, and he more than lived up to it!!

Can we talk about how AWESOME DJ Dave Salonia was!? He created the best party for us, exactly what we wanted. He let me pick the music, then mixed it up added some more fun stuff and was just AMAZING!!!! The night ran so smoothly and everybody was on the dance floor ALL night long!! I cannot thank him enough for such a GREAT time had by all...not to mention all the compliments for the DJ!!!

Music in Motion was the heartbeat of our wedding! Mike was nothing but helpful throughout the entire planning process and definitely helped customize a playlist that had our guests dancing all night! If you want your wedding to be a party to remember...HIRE THEM!

Dave Salonia and the crew at Music in Motion were amazing. They definitely made our wedding an enjoyable day for everyone. Dave worked with us before the wedding to ensure that all the music we wanted was on our playlist and he also made suggestions for games to play and dances to do. I would definitely recommend Music in Motion for their DJ services!

Our DJ was Jason Cledes, and he was phenomenal!! We met with him before the wedding, and this nervous bride was set at ease! He was professional and confident, but had a great personality and sense of humor! He really clicked with us. Our guests raved about his work, and danced the day away! We couldn't have asked for more. He really made the ceremony and reception run smoothly. We were able to relax and enjoy our wedding day.. knowing he had it all under control!!

Thanks Jason!! We wish the day never had to end and could keep dancing!!

The company is really top-notch and the website really helps with the planning!

Tony Wise was great! He went with the flow of the wedding, playing appropriate music and getting people on the dance floor but without even knowing he was there. He did not dominate our wedding with the mic! Only complaint was that the DJ company wasn't very responsive. Also, i'm not sure if they even looked at our must play list. Next time I would just re-iterate to the DJ assigned what you definitely want played. But couldn't have asked for a better DJ than Tony. 7/10 wedding, Ridgefield, CT

Since I lived out of state when booking vendors for our wedding, my husband and I didn't have time to meet with a dozen different DJs, so we decided to only meet with a few who came very highly recommended. Mike and his staff at Music in Motion Entertainment stood out among the others for serveral reasons: 1- they were the most professional, 2- they offered a variety of reasonably priced packages, 3- they have an online database that makes it easy and convenient to pick out music, and 4 - everyone said this company is definitely a crowd pleaser.

We put our faith in Mike and his staff, and they exceeded our expectations! We had over 200 people at our wedding and Music in Motion found a way to make them all happy by playing a variety of music, particularly Italian music - which many of our guests enjoyed. Everyone also loved the lighting effects, the props, and the bride/groom game he faciliated, which was so much fun! If you are looking a professional DJ service that is worth every penny, then call Music in Motion!

Our Wedding Day was fantastic especially with the DJ! The only thing that went wrong was the slide show that was supposed to be played during dinner. They could not get it to play for a good 10 minutes due to a software conflict but they resolved it and guests did even notice a thing! :o)

I wanted to thank you for the amazing job you did at Chris and my wedding on May 24th. You paid such attention to detail and were so in tune (no pun intended!) with all of our desires and wishes on our very special day.

I appreciate all of the contacts made prior to the big night and the check-ins the day of. It was reassuring to know you were in charge!

Most of all, I would like to thank you for the copy of our wedding cd. Its awesome! I have been listening to it every time I get into the car and am instantly brought back to the dance floor... I relive the excitement of our wedding night with each song. Thank you so much!

Thank you Gary and Music in Motion!

Our wedding was PERFECT thanks to Mike and the gang at Music in Motion!!! So professional and so talented and Mike REALLY cared about making the day special for us and our guests! Even my boss, an older, sort of cranky type, raved about the DJ afterward! He said it was the best wedding DJ he had ever experienced! Everyone danced, old and young alike! That is thanks to Mike! He listened to what we wanted and has the skill to time everything just right and gets right out there and creates enthusiasm and excitement! Music in Motion also took care of the music for our ceremony, and had all of our choices, they even had the more obscure version we wanted of the song we chose for our first dance!!! When I think back to my wedding I will always be grateful to Mike and Music in Motion! I love them!

Music in Motion made my wedding the absolute best it could be! The DJ that did my wedding, Dave Salonia, was absolutely amazing in his professionalism and delivered the highest quality of service. I would highly recommend him to anyone and everyone in a heartbeat. With an extremely high level of energy and 25 years of experience he really proved how much pride he takes in his work and in making each event he does as memorable as can be. Dave Salonia really put a personalized touch on our wedding reception. He played everything we asked him to play—even recently released songs that have only been out for a few weeks! I was quite impressed with how up to date the music selection was and how wide the variety of songs there was to choose from. In addition to accurately pronouncing all my in-law's polish names correctly, he was even able to incorporate in some traditional Polish music as well to accommodate my husband's relatives from Poland! I was extremely grateful and honored to have him at my wedding.

Lastly, I had discovered Music In Motion when I went to a friend's wedding the summer before my own, about halfway through the reception I made the decision that I wanted these guys to do my wedding. When my husband and I first met with MIM to discuss wedding plans they told us, "anyone with an ipod can be a DJ, but it takes talent to be an entertainer." And they were 100% right on. This is one bride that can honestly say that thanks to Dave Salonia with Music In Motion I was able to sit back and enjoy every moment of my wedding! Thank you soo much!!!

Music and motion are very fantastic.would recommend for all functions.They are great wedding planners also.Played what you and your guest wanted to hear.

Music in Morion was fantastic! The DJ made our wedding a hit! Thank you so much for your help and services!

The DJs were excellent.
They allowed us to choose the music we wanted, they were respectful of what we wanted in terms of their involvement.
They were reasonably priced and very, very professional.

Music In Motion did an excellent job. They listened to our needs and wants and executed them with a high level of professionalism. I would definatley recommend Music in Motion for any function!

Music In Motion DJS were great at my wedding....they were true professionals....played great music and kept the floor going all night long

They lost my music, only brought half the speakers (the owner told me he forgot to load it in the van that day, but he did not make a move to correct the problem even though he was aware of it). The DJ did not do announcements as he was supposed to, and I had to go table to table and tell people I was having my first dance, cutting the cake, etc. The DJ also failed to do the one special request I asked for, which was an anniversary dance instead of throwing the bouquet. I was absolutely shocked at the lack of quality I received, since I had seen so many great reviews online. They were an utter disappointment on a very special day.

Excellent, would definately recommend. Great service. Pick your music out online with really great forms. Really nice company with nice people. Had everything right! Best in Fairfield Connecticut!!!!!!

Mike and Steve did an awesome job. It was fun, and EVERYONE we talked to had a great time.

Music in Motion was the absolute best choice for a DJ in Connecticut. Plus, they work hand-in-hand with our venue, The Waterview on a consistent basis. We worked with Mike, the owner of the business. He was extremely knowledgable about the wedding business as a whole and was very professional. The music at the reception was amazing and the choices were endless!!! We received so many comments at the end like "this was the best wedding we've ever been to" and the music stands out as something that was a big component to that.

Unfortunately the DJ was the only thing at my wedding I regret. We went with this company because we found numerous 5-star reviews for them. The things that upset me include: Making me think I was getting one DJ when I was getting another, Not supplying party props even though we paid the more expensive package that included them, getting our name wrong during out first introduction as husband & wife (he said the best mans name), constantly asking me questions throughout the night -yes communication is good- but these things should have been worked out earlier, like at our meeting where our DJ proceeded to give us his real estate business card (?), he did not give the winning couple their boquet for winning the anniversary dance. I called the company after the honeymoon & was told I would recieve $50 for missing props. That was a year ago. No, we never got it.

Music in Motion were the DJs for our wedding. They provided live sound for our ceremony, background music for our cocktail hour, and the main DJ music and MC for the reception. Their service was second to none! The worked with our other service vendors and provided a great experience for everyone. The interaction with the crowd was great. They got everyone to participate in different activities that made our wedding reception such a wonderful experience. Every detail was planned out in advance, and there were no surprises the day of the event. I would highly recommend Music In Motion for DJ services at your upcoming wedding or other special event. I have referred many people to them since our event, and plan to continue to do so as they are one of the best service providers in the area! Bravo guys! And thank you for making our wedding such a memorable event, people are still talking about our wedding to this day - telling us is was one of the best they have ever been to.. Music In Motion played a large part in making that happen!

We loved the dj and MC. The night was ours and he helped everyone get loose. It was so much fun. I wanted a cheesy song the chicken dance and he did it along with the other little kids. It was a blast. They were professional and respectful.

I can't imagine not have used Music in Motion for my wedding. Mike was probably the most fun, energetic and entertaining DJ's I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with. I've been to 3 other MiM weddings and a MiM New Year's Eve Party. From having my 4 1/2 yr old son to my 75 yr old grandparents on the dance floor, no one was left sitting at the reception.

His professionalism and his professional contacts astounded me. The photog, videographer, and staff at the the hall all knew and respected Mike. If you want fun and a DJ who will make your day one to remember, you have found your DJ.

JHat has had the opportunity to work with many DJs in New England, as entertaining at weddings often involves several professional entertainers! While we have not worked with Music in Motion, we can attest to their incredible professionalism and their ability to provide an entertainment atmosphere like no other! MIM hosted the party for our very own leader, Danielle, and her new hubby, Jesse! We were all honored to be guests at this memorable event, and MIM had all of the guests on the dance floor all night long. In fact, many of us were sneaking out to dance before dinner was over! The architectural lighting they provided was also incredible---they were able to turn an open area into a distinctive dance hall. Thanks to Jason and Music in Motion for a great night!

We have worked closely with Music in Motion for over 25 years and we can highly recommend their services. It is always a pleasure to work with any of their DJ's or musicians. They make any event a great party !

I've known Mike Fernino at Music in Motion for 8 or 9 years now, and worked for his company Music In Motion for a few of them, and I still accept events from Mike as time permits.

Music in Motion is one of the few multi-DJ companies I feel endlessly comfortable working for and endorsing. Mike is out there personally doing 4 and often more events per weekend for his company. He genuinely cares about his clients and his DJ's

Music in Motion has a system that allows their DJ's to offer the best service possible as efficiently as possible. On weekends I have spent working for them, I am amazed at how effortlessly Mike handles a weekend where is company has 15 to 20 events.

It's this organization, attention to detail, and genuine concern for his clients and DJ's that ensures a successful event every time. If you are having a wedding in Connecticut, Call Mike Fernino at Music in Motion. You will be glad...

Music In Motion is one of the top Pros in their industry. King Vincent Storm has worked with them for years and they are always on top of their game. They are full of energy and will make sure that your event is one to remember!

Small party? Large party? Conservative or crazy fun? Music in Motion will give you exactly what you want you need! Always professional, they will take great care of you!

I would like to endorse M in M for absolutely awesome job of entertainment. I was a videographer for Jennifer and Brian wedding back in July '09, at the Waterview. All I can say, they've put on a show. Hope I get to work with you again.
