    The Best!!

    We absolutely loved working with First Class Weddings and our DJ Mark MacTaggart. Booking and planning with Caitlyn was so easy and stress-free and she helped recommend Mark as a good fit for us (and she was so right!). He "let the music do the talking" and kept everyone on the dance floor literally all night long. Mark was not just an talented DJ, but he was so much help on our big day. He really went above and beyond by meeting up with our friend who was officiating to help him with cues and give him some tips. He checked in with us throughout the night to make sure we were happy and had some great ideas based on what everyone was loving out on the dance floor. Some of our best memories from the night were Mark's spur of the moment ideas! We cannot recommend him enough!

    Simply the best!

    FCW (and DJ Mark MacTaggart) were a key part of our wedding day. They are so efficient and organized, which makes the planning process easier. Their website hub is such a helpful tool. We got so many compliments on our DJ (and our photo booth/uplighting!) and one of the best quotes of the night was "I need to sit down and rest but he won't stop playing bangers!" -- we couldn't be happier!

    Can’t Recommend First Class Weddings Enough!!

    We worked with First Class Weddings for DJ and uplighting services and can't recommend them enough. Caitlyn was our main point of contact and was extremely responsive and helpful in assisting us in determining which services we needed. The uplighting contact that attended our wedding checked in with us and stayed for most of the event to make sure that everything looked great.

    Mark was a better DJ than we could have ever anticipated and we're so grateful we found him. He was punctual, worked seamlessly with our wedding coordinator and the other vendors, and played the best music. He was very good at reading the crowd and the dance floor was packed all night. Mark was great at pivoting when there were a few last minute changes! We can't recommend DJ Mark enough.

    DJ Mark MacTaggart was incredible!

    We worked with First Class Weddings for DJ and uplighting services for our wedding on August 26, 2023. Our day was an absolute dream and more perfect than we could have ever imagined. We had a wonderful experience with the entire team from start to finish - from our initial conversations with Caitlyn and Josh through our wedding day. Josh worked with us to determine which DJ would be the best match to the experience that we were looking for, and paired us up with Mark MacTaggart. It was important to us that the music selection at the wedding represented us but also kept the crowd alive… which can be a hard balance sometimes! Mark absolutely nailed it - he was so communicative with us leading up to the wedding, understanding of our wishes, and truly kept the party bumping all night long. He was responsive to the crowd and made it his primary goal that everyone was having a good time. We got so many compliments on the music & dance floor atmosphere. We were told several times by our wedding party and guests that it was the best wedding music set they had ever heard and that they hadn’t sat down in over three hours! Thank you Mark, you made our wedding so special and a day we will truly remember forever! If you’re looking for this type of experience, Mark should be your DJ!

    Our Favorite Vendor!

    We cannot recommend First Class Weddings enough! Everyone that we talked to at FCW was very professional and got back to us in a timely manner. Caitlyn was so helpful throughout the planning process and incredibly patient with all of my questions! We hired DJ Mike Esposito for our wedding and he was absolutely amazing! He played all of our must-play songs and nailed the vibe of the whole day. All of our guests raved about how good he was, he took the time to get to know us before our wedding day to make sure everything was perfect, and he even went above and beyond during our reception to make sure my husband and I got to eat our dinner and enjoy our party after some things went wrong at the venue. I recommend First Class Weddings and DJ Mike Esposito without hesitation! Thank you for helping to make our day perfect!

    The best dj!

    Working with First Class Weddings was a dream!! From day one, the communication and responsiveness were top-notch. Caitlyn was professional, helpful, and super friendly. She answered every email and question so quickly and made sure everything was organized and ready to go. We booked DJ Josh and he had the dance floor packed the entire night!! During our planning phone call, he took the time to go through every detail with us and made us feel comfortable to ensure our vision would come to life. So many of our guests complimented how amazing he was! If you're looking into booking FCW, do it!! You won't be disappointed!

    Dj mike is amazing!

    I wish I could give more than 5 stars to the First Class Wedding team, they are truly TOP NOTCH! We had DJ Mike Espo and he was incredible. The dance floor was packed the entire night and he played a wide variety of music to keep everyone engaged. Mike was incredibly prepared for the event, he was professional and provided the perfect amount of enthusiasm and class to MC the entire event! Caitlyn, was also incredible in helping us plan our event and the online portal was super helpful in keeping it all organized. We have received SO many compliments from all of our guests about how great of a job DJ Mike did and how great the atmosphere was. A DJ has the ability to really impact the evening and we couldn't be happier with DJ Mike. Would hire again, every time!

    Best Party Ever

    DJ Mike Espo made our wedding absolutely perfect. Our most important thing was that we wanted everyone on the dance floor all night, and he made exactly that happen. It was truly magical. He really nailed down the vibe of the crowd and created the best party possible. Thank you so much!!!

    Top Notch DJ/lighting!!

    We booked Josh as our DJ for a few reasons, but primarily because of his experience and professionalism and let me tell you he exceeded ALL expectations. Josh made the whole process easy and absolutely crushed it on wedding day. Remember that your DJ basically runs your wedding day, they keep everyone on time, set the mood/tone, and most importantly are your MC so make sure they know what they’re doing— and boy does Josh know what he’s doing!!! Such a fun night, everyone was talking about the song selection for days. Couldn’t recommend first class weddings more.

    Perfect party. Perfect DJ.

    We wanted a DJ who would play great music, understand our vibe, and help create a fun, smooth atmosphere. We had met with a couple DJ’s who were certainly knowledgeable but we felt like we were going to have to fit their timeline and process. We had a call with FCW and discussed our desires and Caitlyn said, “You definitely want to work with Mark MacTaggart. He’d be perfect for you.” And he was!
    Mark made us feel comfortable from the first call. He knows music and stressed that his job was to make the day great for us. FCW has an awesome music portal that allowed us to put in our timeline, music requests, and must play/do not play songs. We met with Mark shortly before the wedding and he went through everything - even playing songs we requested for different portions of the evening to make sure he had the right song or the perfect start/end times.
    He was so personable, coming over at various points to check in on how we were doing and we even discovered a shared love of Disney! He had an excellent read on our guests and was able to adjust the playlist accordingly. Everyone from our 8-year old niece to our 90-year old uncle spent time on the dance floor. He curated the perfect dance party for special day. We highly recommend you book FCW and Mark if you are planning an event!

    Best Wedding DJ!!!

    We used First Class Weddings as our DJ service for our wedding in Topsfield, MA and we could not recommend them enough! Not only were they responsive and easy to work with throughout the planning process, but DJ Kenny Powers really made our night fun and kept the guests on the dance floor for hours! The DJ forms were easy to complete and detailed, which only helped make our vision and vibe for the wedding reception a reality. DJ Kenny was so awesome in understanding what kind of music we did (and didn’t) want played, but also easily matched the energy of our guests as the night went on and adjusted accordingly. We appreciated that there wasn’t an overplay of just one genre and each portion of the night felt unique and special. He hit all of our requested songs and made sure they flowed flawlessly, which is something we’ve noticed doesn’t always happen when being a wedding guest. Highly recommend their services and DJ Kenny Powers for your next event!!!

    Best DJ Ever!

    We had to reschedule our wedding twice because of Covid and Caitlin at first class weddings was so accommodating ! Kenny Powers did such an awesome job getting our party in the dance floor. I just wish I could do it all over again soon - we had a blast!

    Book FCW now!

    We had such an awesome experience with FCW. From our initial meeting with Caitlyn, we loved that she shared her honest opinions and wasn't sales-y or pushy at all. She really listened to our requests and matched us up with Mark MacTaggart, who absolutely exceeded our expectations as a DJ. I really can't imagine having an experience better than the one we had with Mark. He was SO kind and attentive during our consultation, and as for the wedding day, wow - where do I begin! The music was a perfect blend of both my and my fiance's music tastes, along with the classic dance floor tunes, all played at the perfect moments. The dance floor was truly filled the WHOLE time, and something extra special was that Mark approached us a couple of times to check in/let us know what songs were coming up next. That kind of experience was so relieving on such a jam-packed and whirlwind of a day and we are so grateful. Mark is very talented at what he does and we can't thank him and First Class Weddings enough. Honestly - we are both hoping we get to attend a wedding soon where he is Djing because we know it will be a blast :)

    DJ MIKE PARDI - would highly recommend

    DJ MIKE PARDI was our wedding DJ and he was absolutely phenomenal. Every guest we had, which was around 170 people said that was by far the best wedding they had ever been to. MIKE PARDI had everyone up out of their seats the entire night, dancing, hyping up me and Steve (my husband) and just having the best time of their life. We used the cold sparklers and CO2 gun as well which were the perfect additions to the evening. People are asking me for our DJ’s info because they were like we need him to work our weddings or other events. I seriously cannot recommend MIKE PARDI enough and if I could give him 10 stars I would without hesitation. Thank you for making my wedding the best night of my life

    Amazing Experience

    We initially booked FCW for our wedding in September 2020 and had to postpone. Caitlyn was incredibly helpful and professional as we tried to navigate rescheduling and rebooking. She is the best! We ended up working with Josh and it was the most amazing experience. He's an incredible person and DJ who kept the room lively and dancing the entire night. He seamlessly blended different music and accommodated our multicultural families. He also went above and beyond with making sure that everything was running smoothly and on time. You will be blown away when you work with the team at FCW.

    SUCH a blast! Highly professional

    LOVE the team at FCW! DJ Kenny and the lighting designer had great energy. Kenny was great at reading the room and seeing what songs really got us going, and also great at knowing when to have the songs break and play something a little more chill so we could catch our breath.

    The Perfect Vibes

    Josh Wiseman and First Class Weddings were a joy to work with! Josh’s wife, Caitlyn, coordinated the booking process and helped us find the best fit – Josh was exactly what we were envisioning in a host to guide our guest through the evening’s formalities and then just absolutely kill it on the dance floor! Josh’s style was so effortlessly cool, high energy but in an understated way, and he let his skill at reading the room and enhancing the vibes guide the night flawlessly!

    First Class Weddings also did the uplighting for our event. We were going for a very classic look, and at first I wasn’t sure if uplighting would compete with that goal, but he and his team used “candlelight” colors to elegantly highlight the architecture of the elegant Omni Parker House ballroom which was very festive and harmonious with all of their holiday decorations. Then he transitioned to a bit more color at the end of the evening to match the energy of the crowd – it was very, very well done.

    After intros and our first dance, he invited guests onto the floor to help us finish our slow waltz of a first dance (at our prior request!) which they did and then he brought in some great high energy songs to formally open the dancefloor at that point! People were dancing in between food courses – they were absolutely itching to dance to Josh’s mix. We gave him a wide ranging request list from disco to classic rock to current hits, and he knew just when to play all of our favorites! He also has some great remixes deployed towards the end of the night that the crowd absolutely loved.

    The night went by so fast, and our guests danced all night to the very end – what more could you ask for?! We are so, so grateful to Josh, Caitlyn, and the team at First Class Weddings for making our wedding so fun and memorable for us and our guests.

    Don’t hesitate – Hire First Class Weddings!

    Hiring FCW was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! From the moment we had our first consultation, we were sold on FCW and did not have any desire to meet anyone else. Caitlyn was so sweet and organized, and Josh blew us away with his personality and professionalism. He put us at ease through the entire process (postponement and all) and was just a dream to work with. Josh knows how to read the vibe of the room and play the best songs to keep the party going. And let me tell you, no one left the dance floor the whole night! I had several of my engaged friends who were guests come ask for his contact information for their weddings! Get him before he books, I promise you won’t regret it!

    Mike pardi was incredible

    We recently had our wedding and we were blown away by Mike Pardi as our DJ! He made sure that we were comfortable with the schedule of the reception, checked in on us frequently, and really brought the party! I have never seen so many people on the dance floor at a wedding! I still have guests commenting on his professionalism and how incredible is music selections were. We gave him a few "must-have" songs and then let him choose the rest and it was simply perfect! Thank you, Mike, for making our day so fun - I would absolutely recommend him and First Class Weddings to anyone looking for an upbeat and professional DJ!

    Booking Mike Pardi as your wedding DJ will be the best decision you could ever make!

    Hands-down, Mike Pardi was the best decision my husband and I made in terms of our wedding. We got married on October 8, 2021, and yes it was the best day of our lives for so many reasons, but DJ Mike Pardi from FCW put it OVER THE TOP. We attended a wedding three years ago where he was the DJ, and we knew from that moment on we needed him for ours when we got married. Mike is an expert at reading the dance floor. We told him we were a high-energy group, and that we wanted music that would keep people of our age (late 20’s and early 30’s) on the dance floor. When we spoke to him on the phone the week of the wedding, he could tell we were a group that liked to party, and that’s when he brought up the Co2 gun that he offered for weddings. It was an immediate yes from us. There is nothing like being the bride and getting to spray your guests with Co2 as they are dancing. It’s three months since our wedding, and we still have people telling us our dance floor was one of the best they’ve experienced. Our dance floor was full the entire time and every single song was perfect. Mike also was enthusiastic when announcing us and our wedding party, and he made everyone want to get up out of their seats. If Mike Pardi is available for your wedding, book him immediately. You won’t regret it. P.S You also have an online portal you can add all of the songs you like to once you book with FCW. They are super organized and make the whole process easy! Keeping track of songs you like throughout the planning process makes that final call super productive!

    Best people to work with

    I cannot say enough good things about our entire experience with First Class Weddings. Caitlyn is a top notch communicator, which is so important when hiring one company for multiple vendors. She helped us move dates seamlessly when we had to postpone in 2020. We used FCW for photography/videography and our DJ. Please see my separate 5 star review for our AMAZING photographers, Jazz and Tara :) Josh was our DJ and people are still talking about how awesome he was weeks later. You can so tell when people love when they do, and Josh is a perfect example of this. He's very professional without losing the fun. He was also extremely kind and respectful to me when I was having an anxious moment at the reception. Simply put, my husband and I couldn't give a higher recommendation to FCW, and we've already told several of our friends who are getting married to look into their services!

    One Stop Shopping at its Best!

    My daughter was married in Boston last weekend and I cannot say enough about First Class Weddings! They are extremely professional and wonderful to work with. DJ Josh Wiseman hosted an incredibly fun reception and every detail was seamless. Traveling from out of state, FCW gave us complete peace of mind that everything would be perfect, and it was.
    HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION.

    FCW is the best!!

    Planning a wedding is stressful enough, now add Covid into the mix and it was even more stressful! I can not say enough about our experience with First Class Weddings during the process. Caitlin was fabulous to work with from the start. She was super responsive from the beginning and so kind and accommodating with rescheduling our date. We were so happy that both our dj and photographer were available for our new date. We worked with Mike Espo for our dj and Jill Mac for photography. They both are so amazing and so easy to work with. Seriously First Class Weddings is top notch!

    WOW! Where do I even begin. Working with First Class Weddings was the absolute best. We were one of the couples who had to reschedule our wedding multiple times due to COVID and throughout it all communication with Caitlyn was phenomenal. Caitlyn knew how stressful it was and she even offered a lending hand in anything else we needed help with during that time.

    Mike Pardi was our DJ and we are SO happy we chose him for our wedding! Everyone and I mean everyone commented on how much fun our wedding was! He kept the dance floor full the ENTIRE night!!!

    Stephen Cwiok was our videographer and he did such a great job. He perfectly captured our wedding day and transformed it into a beautiful video that we will have for many years to come!

    Thank you FCW for everything you truly helped make our wedding day unforgettable!
