Reviews for Okyne Medialab, Inc.
We highly recommend Okyne Medialab for your wedding DJ! They are an awesome bunch of people who are super professional and very fun to work with. They did an excellent job and everything that we asked of them! They are not you typical cheesy wedding DJ and my guest are still talking about the great music at our wedding! Al, the owner is very personable and great to work with. Seriously, you cannot go wrong if you hire Okyne Medialab for your wedding!!
Okyne media lab is awesome! They are very professional and easy to work! They seem to really love what they do and it shows! Everyone that attended my wedding loved the music! The dance floor was packed from the first dance until the very last dance! Al, the president personally DJ our wedding and he created a perfect musicial atmosphere Thank you!!
Okyne Medialab created a photo montage of my husband and I from the time we were babies to our wedding date, for our reception. He also created our wedding favors, which were CD’s of our “greatest hits.” He synced up the slide show to our first dance- the first dance song and the photos of our life together started when we were having our first dance. It was very professional and very well put together! Although I could have attempted to do these things on my own, it was so nice to know that he was taking care of everything. (He's also a professional and did, I'm sure, 120% better of a job than I could have ever done)! The best part was that he didn't charge me and arm and a leg!
Looking for a wedding DJ? Your search has ended!!
Seriously, I do not even know where to begin.
When I walked in that ballroom and saw Al there I was sooooo excited! From day 1 when I met Al at the bridal show I knew I had to have Okyne Medialab DJ our wedding. The style and vibe this company gave off was exactly what we were looking for.
After our first meeting it just confirmed my first instinct. Al was very organized and detailed and sent us our link to our website where we could update our song list, account, etc. It was all very easy to follow and since we are so internet savvy these days it was definitely a plus in my book to have that online event planner.
Then came our second and final meeting where I threw at Al a ton of info, including names and songs and special requests, etc. I had no doubt in my mind that Al, or whoever our DJ was, would hit it all spot on.
As far as the wedding itself, the party was AMAZING! The dance floor was PACKED the entire time. We had a special dance and I gave him the CD and he burned it in his computer right there and the dance was flawless. Usually at weddings I have been to they have some songs that people dance to and then others that people will take a break to and then return at another song, but every song that was played had people dancing and laughing and enjoying themselves (even my granparents!). Al was so professional and on top of everything! He kept cluing us in on the next order of events and everything went sooo smoothly even with our costume change! I have never heard sooo many amazing comments on a DJ and the dance party at a wedding in my life and I plan events for a living.
So trust me when I say this, Okyne Medialab DEFINITELY is my number 1 referral for all my events and friends weddings, etc. If I am going to these events I am looking for a party and without a doubt that is what you will get with these guys!
Thanks so much and I am just so happy with the entire day. Every bride should feel this way about their wedding and that is why you should definitely choose Okyne!
Okyne Media was one of the best parts of our wedding. We met with our Dj and he got ot know our personal style and our vision for the ceremony. We stated no group dances and he complied. he also let us pick our dinner music and several other songs and filled in the rest of the time with great, fun songs in the right genre. Everyone danced from the first song to the very last and stated how great the DJ was. It was a huge p[art in a very special night. We recomened them to all of our friends and most have used them and had the same great experience. Okyne media is perfect and you should use them if you can!!
Okyne Medialoab was the talk of our wedding!! So many people commented on how great the DJ was! Al was one of the best DJ's I have ever danced to at a wedding. He was so into the music and always a step ahead getting ready for the next song to mix in. He is truly a great DJ!!! So many people (from parents to hipsters) loved his style and choice of music throughout the night. So fun!!
It was absolutely perfect. Never once did I even moderately wish a song was different. Usually I am a total freak about music and make a million requests at every wedding... Al played every single song I could have wanted to hear and he kept the dance floor packed. I couldn't even talk to my friends, I was too busy dancing!
Possibly the best part abuot Okyne was the attention to detail. I loved his organization and how he kept the night flowing.... For control freak brides like me, this is the most ideal DJ! Love love loved him!! He really helped to make our wedding such a memorable party!!
Okyne Media lab’s president, Al Okyne personally DJ’d our wedding and did an amazing job. He was very professional, yet fun throughout the night. During the whole planning process, he was personable and down to earth, and made the whole experience easier on us. The website is very user friendly, and helped us keep our planning organized. It all paid off in the end because the dance floor was packed from the first to the last song. Our guests said it was the best wedding they have ever been to, due the constant flow of good music. They completed our wedding reception vision perfectly.

We were so happy with Okyne Medialab. Al was our dj and he did a great job. We received so many compliments from our guests about him. He is not cheesy at all and plays the music you and your husband want to hear. We filled out a must play and a do not play list which he stuck to which was nice. I DID NOT want to hear the chicken dance at my wedding! He's a good guy and easy to talk to which was nice too. We highly recommend.
Okyne Medialab did an absolutely phenomenal job at providing the perfect vibe that we were looking for at our wedding. Our dance floor was packed all night long and we still get compliments on how much fun everyone had. My husband and I got the whole package which included the video montage...I will be able to watch that video for the rest f our marriage and still feel the same feelings I did right when when we got married. I recommend Okyne Medialab to anyone who wants to have as good of a wedding as we did...
Hello Kerry,
Sorry for the delay in response. We have just returned from our honeymoon. (Boo! Back to reality!)
Everything looks good to me as far as the bill. We had a wonderful time. I could not rave enough about everyone on the post-event survey I was sent via email.
I also wanted to recommend my DJ from Okyne Medialab, for your preferred vendor list. I'm not sure how exactly that works, but he was great. Everyone continues to tell us that it was the most fun wedding they have ever been to and I have to contribute a lot of that to having a great DJ who kept the dance floor packed all night. (The open bar obviously helped too. ) Okyne Medialab was a recommendation from my sister and brother-in-law who have now seen them at 6 different weddings. (Her friends just keep passing them around because everyone loves them.) Our DJ is very responsive, great to work with, and can totally work a crowd. Apparently the "mixing was seamless" as well per some of our guests. Anyway, I would highly recommend him to others and want them to know how to contact him. Here is the link to their website: http://www.okynemedialab.com
Thanks again for everything,
Cynthia and Aron Rosenthal
