Occasions Disc Jockeys

Matthew from Occasions Disc Jockeys was wonderful to work with! He was helpful in providing us with information and gave us easy to access forms to fill out so that the music at our ceremony and reception would be exactly what we wanted - and it was! He did a great job with everything, including playing what we requested, playing songs that guests requested, and feeling out the crowd to play the best dance music. We had a great time and so did our guests! Matthew was fun, professional, organized, very classy and all in all just amazing to work with.

What really stuck out was how understanding he was when I said we weren't sure about having the father-daughter dance and wouldn't know until the day of the wedding, because my dad is bipolar. He was super accommodating and understanding about it, and a complete pleasure to work with!

Matthew was so awesome to work with from day one. He was highly recommended by my wedding planner and it was a great pleasure to have chosen him as our DJ. The dance floor was packed all night long. He played all the types of music that I had requested. I had a blast. Thank you Matthew.

I can't say enough good things about Occasions DJs. I was impressed with the way they responded so quickly to my initial inquiries with such useful information. They answered questions I didn't even know I had! And they continued to be very responsive and helpful throughout. Their website ended up being my go-to resource, more than any other, because it is so rich, with everything from music catalogs to how to give a great toast. The reception itself went flawlessly. The DJ paced everything perfectly and every time I took a moment to enjoy the music, a great song was playing. I especially appreciated Occasions advice and ideas throughout the planning process. Since we only intend to get married once it was nice to rely on such an expert who really seemed to want our day to go as well as we did. Our friends are still raving about the party and asking about the DJ. I'd recommend Occasions DJs for any event.

We had a great experience working with Occasions. Our email inquiries and questions were also answered promptly and professionally. We used Occasions for both our ceremony music and our wedding reception. The questionnaire that we filled out in advance covered most of the logistics, but our DJ also called a few days before to go over all the details, as well as went over some last minute details the day of. The music played throughout the whole evening, and Matt kept things moving along (cake cutting, special dances, etc).

I highly recommend Occasions Disc Jockeys! Matthew did an excellent job with keeping everything on schedule. He also did the music for our ceremony and it went very smoothly. He played all of our favorite music during cocktail hour and dinner. The dance floor was packed the entire night. No one wanted the dancing to end!

It was awesome that the DJ (Matt) went over all of our song picks prior to our wedding & went over the bridal party names at the reception. We picked all the songs to be played & what type of music we wanted at the ceremony. Very friendly & professional.

Matthew was AMAZING. He did everything we asked and more. He was organized and professional. He talked us through everything. Whenever we had a question he was always right there with an answer. If your looking for a DJ Matthew's your guys

We were so pleased with the organization and structure of the website to form our MC sheet. It was very user friendly and so helpful to have suggestions for songs and/or the order of how the reception should flow. Matthew was extremely professional and willing to bend over backwards for what we wanted. He checked in with us regularly at the reception to make sure we were happy with everything. He kept the crowd engaged with taking their song requests and he kept things flowing so we had maximum participation in dances.

Occasions DJ was absolutely amazing. They played ALL the songs my husband and I asked for in advance, had EVERYONE at our wedding dancing and having a fantastic time. They are extremely professional, reliable, easy to work with, and really know how to make your night extra special. I highly recommend them (especially Matthew Cleveland our DJ) to any and everyone, its a guaranteed good time. We had so many compliments on our music! Thank you a hundred times over for everything and we look forward to seeing you at our future parties...The Bortz's

Matt, the owner, was great the day of our wedding. He came highly recommended to me by our wedding coordinator. On the day of the event, he was professional and nice. He played EXACTLY what we asked for because you fill out all these questions of the music you want to hear. He was not annoying to our guests in the least bit.

Steve was AMAZING. The perfect balance of being involved and fun, wihtout being "too much." He had great song suggestions and kept the flow of everything going perfectly. Plus, we also loved the uplighting.

Occasions DJs did a wonderful job for our reception! They responded to emails very quickly and adjusted to changes with no problems! Our guests danced the night away! They play an excellent selection of music and kept everything running on time!

It was truly a pleasure working with Matthew. He paid attention to our music requests (play and do-not-play lists) and kept the volume down during dinner, which was very important to us. He kept the music flowing throughout the entire evening, made all the necessary announcements and helped to make our reception lots of fun, while keeping it classy. I would highly recommend using Occasions for any party that calls for a DJ.

Michael was professional, on time, and flexible with our music choices. I enjoy country, where my husband enjoys more classic rock. He had a wonderful mix during our cocktail our and dinner service. He played the perfect music during our reception anywhere from current hits to hits that we used to listen to back in high school. He was wonderful and did not try to "take over" our reception. He provided us with a wonderful survey that we filled out before our reception that allowed us to choose the music we liked and did not like. He followed that selection to at "T". Occassions Disc Jockey is a wonderful choice for a great wedding!

Matthew was AWESOME during our wedding last weekend. The music was great and just what we wanted. He was very much on top of things, and even drive through a snow storm to get to us. We definitely recommend Occasions!

Matthew was very attentive to details throughout the night and checked with us throughout the eveing. He was very friendly and professional. We were very impressed with the online form we had to fill out prior to the wedding. We were also impressed at how he dressed and presented himself throughout the entire night. He kept the party going and the dance florr full the entire night!

We had an AMAZING wedding ceremony and reception!! All of the music we asked for was played for both! Matthew worked so well with us and spoke directly with us on any questions or concerns you had. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ for our wedding day!!

We hired Matthew to provide the music for our ceremony and reception. We were very pleased with not only his services but his professionalism and responsiveness. He was very flexible and easy to work with when our outdoor ceremony had to be moved inside due to weather. The forms that we filled out were very comprehensive and he called us a week before the wedding to walk through them and find out if we had any changes. Matthew played all of the songs that we requested and many of our guests requests and everyone had a great night of dancing!

We hired Steve from Occassions, we were extremely happy with all of his services for that day. He provided ceremony music (outside ceremony), cocktail music and reception music. He basically worked from 3:30 to 11:00 and was highly professional the entire time. He called us a week before our wedding to make sure I felt comfortable and to ask some insightful questions - things we hadn't even thought of...He was extremely patient and thorough with answering questions I sent him by email at several points. Through absolutely no fault of Steve's there was a slight electrical problem at the outdoor ceremony site and he was completely flexible and professional in getting the problem fixed ASAP. He never said anything to us about the problem, we only heard from a relative, I think this speaks to his extreme professionalism. I would highly recommend Occasions and in particular, Steve.

We were very pleased with Occasions DJ. Matthew did a great job. He played great music and the dance floor was packed the entire night. Matthew was very professional and played the music we asked for and other music we liked. He played a good mix of music. The form he had us fill out before the wedding was very helpful to prepare and included great ideas for music to be played. I would recommend Occasions.

We hired Occasions after hearing that they were great from 3 sources (our wedding venue, Cameron Estate Inn; our photographer, Graybill Photography; and our wedding coordinator, Planned Perfection).
Steve was our DJ for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception, and really did a great job!
They mail you a packet of questions/information ahead of time, so that you can come up with songs you like, songs you don't like, genres you like/don't like, the years you graduated (so they can have an idea of what songs might get people on the dance floor!), line dances you want or do not want, whether you want an interactive DJ or more formal style, whether guests should be allowed to make requests, etc. They also call you the week of the event to touch base and review the timeline/itinerary and any changes to be made.

We really felt like Steve did a wonderful job for us, we had a great time!

Matt was always very accessible through email. We loved that he had an in depth profile to fill out so that he knew exactly what we wanted for the ceremony and reception. He even worked with us on putting our slide show music through his system. The dance floor was full all night.

Very professional. Not cheesey, not corny. Really listened to what we wanted played and what type of atmosphere we wanted. Got along great with the rest of our vendors and really kept things moving and shaking!! Would definitely recommend! Pricing was very reasonable for what we were looking for!

Matthew did an excellent job at our wedding. He was very organized prior to the event, and we had no problems that night.

We had a great experience with Occasions DJs. Everything was very user friendly on their site. All of the forms are so comprehensive you know that the dj will have all of the information he needs. We had Matthew for our reception. He was very nice, professional, and friendly. He played everything we asked him to and the songs he filled in fit well with our theme. He worked well with our photographer to keep the night moving smoothly.

This company took their job very seriously. They required a detailed set of paperwork to be completed well ahead of the wedding date. We went over it all with our DJ and he did a great job at our wedding. He pronounced all the names correctly, followed our vision perfectly and played all the songs we requested. Overall, we couldn't have been happier.

Steve was the DJ for our (outdoor) ceremony and reception.

We had a great experience with Occasions, from the initial emails with Matthew to the way Steve interacted with us on our wedding day. Matthew was always very responsive to our questions over email, and we really appreciated the in-depth questionnaire. It really helped us imagine how the whole event would go and pointed out things we wouldn't have ever considered. We had a good talk with Steve a couple of weeks before the ceremony to go over the details, and we felt like he understood what our expectations, and we didn't have any worries.

We're very happy with Steve. He played all the songs we wanted and none of the songs we didn't (although somehow Unchained Melody got in there...). He touched base with us throughout the dinner and dancing to make sure we were happy and to go over the timing for the evening. Steve was dressed in a tuxedo, was very professional, and even stayed longer than originally contracted (we paid for the extra time, of course).

We highly recommend Steve and Occasions.

Matthew did a great job at our wedding. We had 240 guests and the dance floor was packed the entire night. Matthew did a good job of reading the crowd and providing a good mix of music that pleased the older and younger guests. He really listened to what we wanted and played the songs that were most important to us. Perhaps more importantly, he did not play any songs on our “do not play list” even though they were requested several times by family members. He was very professional, easy to work with and helped to make our wedding day perfect!

We had a blast and the music was perfect!

At my small reception he assured me that he would have everyone up and dancing, even the ones who didnt want to dance, without being "in your face." When dance hour came, no one hit the floor besides my hubby and I. We danced a whole song and still no one. I went over to Matt and asked him to play some type of interactive game to get people up. He said "games?" he didnt play one game at all. he tried a slow song, and a few people came out. That was not a game, he didnt do what he promised, or what I asked him that night.

Matt was terrific and came fully prepared to set up at three different sites for us. He was on time and took care of everything exactly as we had discussed. We asked that he not honor our guests requests for music and he handled it perfectly. Thanks for everything, it was a wonderful event.

Joanne and Joe were so wonderful. I talked to Matt to set up everything and he was very kind and easy to work with. Joanne later called me to finalize my line up of songs (which impressed me). The day of the event there were changes and this amazing couple took care of my needs like it was no problem at all. I was nervous about the timing of when I should walking down the aisle and so Joanne standed near me to give me a cue when to go. There were also problems before the wedding and Joanne and Joe helped me even though it had nothing to do with DJing. They played everything we asked for, and acted/dressed professionally. They were so sweet and kind, I would recommend them to everyone I know.

Steve was our DJ at our wedding reception, and he was great!!! We were in touch with Matt, for most of the pre-wedding planning. This communication was all e-mail based, since we planned our wedding from 350 miles away! We decided to go with Occasions *because* they were easy to communicate with via e-mail. Their website provides a *very* easy and effective planning tool, where we could identify songs we definitely did not want to hear at our reception. And, we could make it clear that we did not want a DJ who would be talking all night and not adhering to our requests and instructions. A few weeked before our wedding, Steve, who was matched up to us based on his personality and what we wanted, called me and we talked about our final details. He was courteous, and easy to talk to.

On the day of, he showed up in a tuxedo!!! We were not expecting this, and it was just awesome! He looked great, and he listened to us about not being cheesy or too talkative, and he kept the music playing all night. He also helped the nights events run smoothly by being the MC. He was wonderful!

We highly recommend Occasions DJs for wedding receptions, and if you can get Steve, you will be all set :)

We could not have asked for a better DJ on our special day. He exceeded all our expectations. He helped keep everything running smoothly all night long, and was very flexible with us for our reception was much different from most.

Occassions Disc Jockey is a very professional company that is easy to work with. They provide an online form that allows you to provide a schedule for your ceremony and reception, including exactly when you want certain events to take place. The form makes it very easy to indicate which songs you want played for special moments, such as the cake cutting, and the entrance. If you don't want to pick specific songs, you can also pick music styles and eras that you prefer for the reception.

We used Occasions for the sound system only during the ceremony and for the music during the reception. Matt was our DJ. He was GREAT! One of our guests called him the DJ from Oz, because he kept playing great music but you never saw him. (we had asked for him to be low profile, but if you want him more involved in the party, he will do that as well.)

We wish we had a chance to thank Matt in person that night, but we were having so much fun on the dance floor, which was full all evening, that we didn't get a chance to. Thanks Matt!

I was very pleased with Matt at Occasions DJ's. He was very professional and performed the music for my ceremony as well. He brought three systems with him (one for the ceremony, one for the cocktail hour room and one for the reception) at no extra charge and I definitely appreciated that. We went over a very thorough list and everything was pulled off without a hitch!!

Matt was very professional and the price was good. He provided three different setups at no extra charge (ceremony, atrium and reception) and his equipment was nice (no wires everywhere and the sound system was behind a black curtain).

There were a few hiccups like we asked him to not announce the wedding song but just start the song but he forgot and announced it and a version mix up on a song I wanted played but all in all good service.

Occassions is such a well organized company. Matthew Cleveland, the owner is really on the ball. He's quick to respond to any questions or concerns you have. We were very specific in our music choices and in how we wanted the evening to progress. Matthew delivered on everything. He took the songs we requested and gave them the perfect order and flow. He was a gracious and unassuming dj who let the music speak for him. He matched our formal evening wedding perfectly.

Steve did a fantastic job! Exactly what we were looking for... a DJ who doesn't do a lot of talking, joking and NO props! Very classy and professional!

They provided a lot of paperwork to fill out to make sure that you were getting exactly the kind of music you wanted. They also have extensive song lists online, so you could almost choose every song you'd like them to play all night. We did not get the main DJ, and the guy we got was a little shy which meant that he didn't announce everything as enthusiastically as we would have liked. I would try to book them as early as possible to make sure you get your pick of DJ's.

My husband and I were very pleased with Matt's performance at our wedding. He made sure to have on hand every song we requested. My husband is a musician and had very specific requests for our intro song, first dance etc. Matt met and exceeded all of our expectations.

We used Occasions for our formal evening wedding, and we wanted a professional DJ who would keep the night fun without taking over the show. Occassions did a wonderful job ~ our DJ was professional, fun, and very polite.

Everything was great! They were really friendly and professional. The only thing that bothered me is that we had a bunch of songs we wanted to have played, but they played other songs during the dinner, even though we were pressed for time.

Matt kept the crowd dancing from beginning to end. He wasn't overbearing, but he directed the flow of events. He listened to our concerns and played/didn't play what we asked. Greatest DJ company in the area!

Matthew was wonderful! My coordinator recommended him, and he kep the party rolling the whole time! He was very professional and made sure to do exactly what my husband and I asked the entire day! I would recommend him to all my friends!

Occasions DJ's was a fortunate find for us. They came highly recommended on the Knot boards and lived up to every expectation. Matthew Cleveland was always prompt in his correspondence and our DJ (Steve? Unfortunately I forgot his name, it was a whirlwind day!) was perfect for our personalities. Our wedding was very small and relaxed and he fit in perfectly. He did screen a few requests which was appreciated, and managed to get to everyone's. He was never too cheesy or aloof as some DJs are and worked the crowd well. He mixed our favorites (not super mainstream) with some party songs; everyone was very pleased with him!

They were wonderful. We booked last minute and we got a great DJ! She spent a lot of time on the phone with us prior to the wedding going over playlists. She was very responsive to our needs during the entire reception.

Occasions Disc Jockeys are wonderful and professional DJs that know how to get a party started and keep the dance floor full! They will listen to your needs and work well with all of your vendors to make your wedding memorable.

There are so many wonderful things to say about Matthew and Occasions DJ's, it hard to know where to begin! Matt is a genuinely funny, kind and customer-service focused! His style is low-key but highly professional. As an officiant, I know I can count on Matt 100% to get all the music and cues right for the ceremony. Always remember--you get what you pay for (truly!) and Matt is worth every dollar and cent of his fee! I highly endorse him as a seasoned wedding vendor!

We love it when our couples tell us that they've booked Occasions. Matt Cleveland is fantastic when it comes to communicating with other vendors to ensure that the day goes smoothly.

Matt was great to work with. Organized and insightful. Played the music that the client wanted to hear.

Matthew is hands down one of the most professional DJs we have ever worked with. His personality and demeanor are perfect for someone that is as much a part of your wedding day as your DJ will be. Matthew puts in a lot of effort to meet the requests of the bride and groom, and handles any changes on the fly with ease. Occasions is a pleasure to work with, and I cannot recommend them highly enough!

Always a good choice. I can honestly say that these people deliver a great wedding reception every time. I'm always looking forward to working with them.

Occasions Disc jockeys is always professional and a pleasure to work with. They always play fun, fresh music that gets the crowd going, making it easy to create memorable photographs of guests having a great time at your wedding reception, party or event. One of our top recommended pros!

I've had the pleasure of working with Matt several times over the years and have always found him to be preeminent in his profession.

It's always great to find out I'll be working with someone from Occassions DJs. Some of the most professional DJs around. Sure to get the party started right.

We've with Matthew a couple of times and each one has been a great experience! He is great at determining the music style(s) the couple desires. He always keeps us "in the know"- something that is much appreciated as photographers so we can be ready with our lights. Also, he has a knack for seamlessly transitioning from playing romantic "ambient" music during the mealtime to pulsing pop for the dancing. If you want a hoppin' party, Matthew will certainly deliver. A++

I love Matt and his crew. Very nice guys that are willing to please their clients. Plus they play good music :)

Matt is very professional, without being over the top or corny.
He works well with other venders, and is very organized.

Always find it easy to work with them. Would highly recommend. Very good sound and selection of music.

Matt at Occasions Disc Jockeys does an amazing job! He timing for an event is wonderful, and he keeps a flow going throughout the event. He plays the right music for the crowd, and keeps everyone on the floor! I highly recommend Occasions for your event.

We absolutely loved working with Steve from Occasions at our wedding this past Saturday. He made sure the bride and groom were happy as well as all of their guests! Steve was organized and had a very cool, calm and collected demeanor. Very much looking forward to working with him and Occasions again!!!

I really enjoyed working with Steve from Occasions Disc Jockeys at a client's wedding on Saturday. Steve was patient, kind and willing to work with all vendors involved! He was extremely organized and the dance floor was PACKED the entire duration of the reception. My client was worried that no one would dance! It was quite exciting to see how happy everyone was and what a good time they were having.
I recommend Occasions Disc Jockeys 110% and I can't wait to work with them again in the near future!!

I have had the privilege of working with Occasions DJ's all over the South Central Pa area at wedding events. From Mechanicsburg to Lancaster to Hershey, every event has been a great success. Matt Cleveland and JoAnn Konopka are the two individuals I have worked with the most and I am very pleased from a vendor standpoint to see how organized they are and the attention to detail they focus on to make sure the reception experience is a success through music. The dance floor is always full and their experience has taught them how to mix the right sets of music and keep the interest on fun and dynamic dancing at all times.

From a vendor standpoint, I am always informed of the reception events and the times and how everything will progress through the evening so I am ready to shoot the video. They always make sure I am prepared also and do not start any formality without ensuring that all vendors are in place and ready. I think this is a huge plus!!

I look forward to the opportunity to work with Occasions Disc Jockeys again.

I have had the privilege to work with Occasions Disc Jockeys many times! They are fantastic and are always a delight to work with. Matthew, the owner is one top notch, respected dj. He keeps everyone on the dance floor and is a class act. This is your event, and he makes sure to play the tunes you request and tailor the music selections to your needs and wants. Don't know what you want...he has been in the business many years and has tons of selections and suggestions for you. Look no further...Occasions is where its at!

I do not stay for the wedding receptions, but can say that Matt from Occasions DJ is doing something right because he is the DJ for most of the weddings I work with! I hear raves about him from the brides. He is professional and pleasant to work with! I recommend Occasions DJ for your special event!

Matthew and his team at Occasions DJs are sure to make your reception a smooth event. They are professional and courteous, and always follow the requests of the bride. We love working with them at receptions, because we always know what to expect and that we are going to have a friendly face to spend the evening with.
