    DJ Mike is a Gem!!!

    We initially booked Barry, but he wasn't able to make it to our wedding and instead got assigned DJ Mike. It was a bit stressful since the change happened without advanced notice. But honestly, we couldn't have asked for a more amazing wedding DJ than DJ Mike. From the moment the music started, he had the dance floor packed and the energy soaring. We heard from multiple guests how much fund they had. If you're looking for a DJ who knows how to create an unforgettable atmosphere, take into consideration your music tastes, we wholeheartedly recommend DJ Mike!

    New Jersey Sound Machine

    I cannot say enough wonderful things about Barry and New Jersey Sound Machine. Right from the start, Barry was so responsive and professional. From our first conversation we knew that Barry was going to be amazing. What we didn’t know was that he would exceed every hope we had. Barry truly read the room and knew what would get people onto the dance floor. In additional, he sang throughout the dinner service. The number of guests who came up to us and said it sounded like Michael Bublee or Frank Sinatra was singing was amazing. I truly cannot recommend Barry and New Jersey Sound Machine enough. He helped make every moment of our wedding perfect.

    Best DJ services around!

    First of all, I had so many last minute changes with parents of groom and a bridesmaid dropping out due to covid, and Barry was able to accommodate all my last minute requests, even those made the night before! So thank you for that!! He was the best wedding dj! He had guests up and dancing before salads were even served! The entire night was a party! He sang during dinner which all the guests loved, and we also hired their photo booth which was a huge hit as well! 1000% recommend!

    Best wedding thanks to New Jersey Sound Machine

    My wedding was AMAZING and a lot of that credit goes to New Jersey Sound Machine. The dance floor was always packed and there was never a dull moment. We spontaneously had karaoke happening when I grabbed the mic to rap to 'Ice Ice Baby', a mosh pit for my husband and groomsmen, and a full on dance battle. I don't think any other DJ/MC could have created all these great moments on the spot. We received so many compliments about Barry during and after the wedding. They were all super impressed by his talent. Guests also had a great time at the photo booth, making gifs. In addition, Barry was so easy to work with and always made himself available to me.

    Would recommend to everyone- amazing

    If we had the option to give them 10 stars, we would definitely do so! Barry & his team we so on the money with our wedding. He was so accommodating with our love for different genre of music & definitely hit the nail on the head when we asked for a DJAIS set. He checked in on us throughout the year- made sure we were definite on what we needed. Was MORE than helpful. He heard our wants and delivered. We had a 150 person headcount for our wedding & Barry engaged so much with the crowd. He gave us a run of show a week before & then reviewed it day of.
    The music- was INCREDIBLE. He even SANG for us during our dinner course. And the older guests, LOVED it. (As did my husband and I!) We even had some guests, who are getting married within the next year needing a DJ and wanted NJ SoundMachine for theirs! We cannot say enough positive things about this team. They were AMAZING and I would recommend them to EVERYONE.

    HIGHLY Recommend :)

    If you're looking for an upbeat, accommodating, PERSONAL TOUCH team; hire Barry & his team. They really cared about our experience, listened to our requests, & Barry even sang for our guests during dinner. Our guests STILL rave about this team.

    Incredible

    Cannot recommend him highly enough. If you are looking for a great experience - you found the one.

    Barry is incredible. From the first interaction we had with him to the very end of our reception he offered incredible service and made us feel like true VIPs.

    People did not stop dancing.

    One of the real keys was his phenomenal live performance. His voice is amazing (when he first started to sing people thought it was Michael Buble). It was a hit and something we will remember forever.

    Thank you, Barry for helping to make our reception truly unforgettable.

    NJ Sound Machine - just book them!

    Barry is an absolute gem and a true professional. He covers every little detail of the evening and was so incredibly helpful and kind. He takes the time to meet with you and help bring the night together. My wedding was an absolute blast! A great DJ and talented entertainer, I would absolutely recommend NJ Sound Machine.

    Amazing music, Awesome voice, Great Guy

    I called about 10 different DJ’s and Barry was no doubt the most professional and nicest person we ever spoken to. We booked him 1 year out for our wedding and we had him do cocktail hour, and our reception, we used up lighting and he also sang during dinner. Where to begin., the singing was incredible, our guests were blown away by how good it was. The up lights were very cool and worth every penny. His music was the best I have ever heard at a wedding even the 80s songs that aren’t the best dance party songs but classic hits he edited them to be the best damn songs and we danced all night long. Barry was extremely reasonable with pricing and there was never a moment I felt he didn’t care about our vision for the wedding. Finally every wedding I have been to the DJ messes up the announcements or walks ins, Barry was perfect, everything was according to plan. IF you want to have the best wedding ever and have the BEST DJ EVER, book Barry.

    Would recommend to anyone

    Barry was a pleasure to work and CJ was everything we could have asked for in a DJ. We would absolutely recommend New Jersey Sound Machine to any couple getting married or in need of an event DJ. They were organized, professional, and wonderful to work with. CJ met with us a couple weeks before the wedding to finalize and run through our music genre preferences and was outstanding the day of. 10/10 would use again

    They are Awesome!

    Dealing with the owner, Barry, was a dream. He is super professional, not salesy at all, and really heard my "vision" for my big day. He recommended one of his DJs (CJ) who was fantastic. Our consultation prior to the wedding was really great. I came away from it feeling he understood the vibe I was going for (no cheesey stuff!) and based on a few of my "must play" song choices, he created an amazing playlist that all my guests loved.

    The team was great to work with and I highly recommend!

    A Great Decision !!!

    Barry is incredibly talented and easy to work with. He is organized and takes all the entertaining pressure off of you.

    For our wedding, Barry mastered our request of singing Frank Sinatra during dinner and turning our wedding venue into a “club” atmosphere after cake cutting.

    Wedding planning is stressful - Barry kept my husband and I organized, he made sure we were able to enjoy the night and every song we requested was played.

    We cannot thank or recommend him enough !

    . NJ sound Machine was terrific from start to finish, all for a great price!

    We are so glad to recommend NJ Sound Machine. From the start, Barry was responsive and professional. There was regular (but not bothersome) communication to ensure that everything was on track and that we were happy. Planning and payment were easy with the client portal. We had CJ as our DJ; he was friendly, energetic, and detail-oriented. He worked through all the details in our planner and even accommodated a few last-minute requests for announcements and replaying a song we wanted. He also had some helpful suggestions for things we hadn’t settled on yet. Everything from the ceremony through the last song of the night was terrific. CJ did a great job reading the room and ensuring everyone had a great time on the dance floor. We received many compliments about how great our DJ was and how well he managed the evening. We particularly liked that he was able to keep the energy up and the mood elevated without being cheesy or an over-chatty hype man. NJ sound Machine was terrific from start to finish, all for a great price. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great DJ!

    Simply marvelous!

    Barry was absolutely wonderful in helping us plan for our big day, with everything from making recommendations about certain areas or giving us helpful advice. He was simply great to work with in all the ways that matter-flexible, easygoing, professional, prompt, and quick. He was always available if we had a question and was very fast to respond about anything. He also offered us a great discount for a service which was a nice touch. He really helped ease the stress from this part of planning our wedding because he helped to make things so easy and accessible. And we would highly recommend having him sing for your wedding-it was a wonderful surprise to our guests and he has an amazing voice! Thanks again to Barry and his team for helping make our day so special!

    Absolutely stellar DJ!!

    Barry from New Jersey Sound Machine is just wonderful to work with. We had our wedding on May 15 at The Valley Regency, and Barry took care of all A/V logistics. He worked with us closely and gave us insight/suggestions so that we could build out our perfect wedding!
    Barry uses a Wedding Planner that is thorough, yet easy to use. Before we talked with him, there were some things that we didn't realize we had to plan. Barry made sure that we covered all our bases, crossed all our i's, dotted all our t's.
    During our special day, we never had to worry about anything. Barry took care of all the announcements, music, audio-visual-related aspects, etc. He even helped us to set up a Youtube livestream from our personal laptop, which was not part of the original plan!
    All in all, Barry and his team are extremely professional, personable, and clearly an expert at what they do. From my experience, whatever we wanted Barry to do, he found a way to do it, and more. 10/10 would recommend to ANYONE looking for a stellar DJ team in the NJ area!!!

    The best dj/mc!

    Look no further! Barry and his team are THE BEST!!!!! When I was looking for a DJ for my wedding reception, I saw that New Jersey Sound Machine had 5 star reviews across the board, so I contacted Barry and after our first conversation I knew I wanted to hire him. We didn’t even contact anyone else. Leading up to our reception, Barry was so professional and easy to work with. Every time I reached out with questions he was quick to respond, reliable, and was always incredibly helpful. The day of our reception, Barry and his assistant Val showed up several hours early to set up and make sure everything was in place and ready to go. Barry and Val were completely fantastic from beginning to end MC’ing and DJ’ing - the dance floor was packed all night! Once the music started, everyone was dancing, and by the time we had to wrap up, no one wanted to leave. Barry had the perfect flow of music and knew exactly what to play to get our crew going. The MOST SPECIAL thing though was having Barry sing during dinner - if you have an opportunity to have Barry sing at some point during your night, ABSOLUTELY DO SO! His voice is incredible - we, and all our guests, were blown away. Barry and the New Jersey Sound Machine were worth every penny - beyond 5 stars! On top of it all, Barry is a genuinely great guy, who wants every one of his clients to have the most memorable, epic celebration. Would highly recommend Barry and his team for any wedding or special occasion!

    Amazing! The blend of music was really fun, energy was really high throughout the night, everyone loved the photo booth. We got away with doing our indoor Covid Wedding and Barry and team made it as perfect as can be. Thanks again and we’ll be referring you to family and friends.

    Best DJ lot work with!

    On my search for a DJ for our wedding, Barry was the first to reach out to us. He was honest, and he truly was a pleasure to work with. My husband and I had to postpone our wedding reception because of COVID. When we knew we had to make a change, Barry was able to accommodate to the new date. He has page where you can give detail of your nights events, helped what songs to select. He was on top of everything! He San during our dinner hour, and my family loved it. It brought something different to the day. I would recommend Barry in a Heartbeat !!

    Danced all night long!!

    New Jersey Sound Machine Group were incredible. Where to start..from day one, Barry was ultra responsive and always available when we had any questions. We work in healthcare and as first responders so our schedules make it super tough to talk, but Barry was always willing to do an evening or even weekend call to review Wedding details. The online Wedding Planning portal he gave us made it super convenient to enter our songs and details and saved alot of time and was stress free. On the day of our Wedding, Barry was fun, energetic, and had the crowd dancing all the way from Cocktail hour to the last song of the night. Every song he played was right up our alley and he played a variety of fun music all night. Our Wedding was on a Thursday night abd Barry made it feel like a Saturday night! We couldn’t have asked for more! Thank yoj to the NJ Sound Machine, a truly awesome experience.

    Absolutely Outstanding!!!

    Where do I start? Barry was soo professional to deal with. Always so prompt in returning messages and e-mails and texts. It was so nice to work with the same person from start to finish with no surprises. Barry and his team were unbelievable at our Wedding!!! They managed to play all of the songs I requested and also fulfilled several guest requests and made everything fit in perfectly. They provided the room uplighting and we also ordered the Photo Booth. The room looked beautiful and our guests loved the Photo Booth! Barry sang to us for our Dinner and he is like Michael Buble. Everyone was raving about how beautiful it was to have a live singer, it was soo classy and made things feel so elegant and was a really nice contrast/different from when the DJ is playing music. This is the part that my grandparents loved the most
