    Book these guys

    Absolutely amazed by these guys. Adam and his team went above and beyond for our wedding. Last minute, I added a video segment to play for my wife from her family and they added it with 0 hassle or problems. Their music is mixed perfectly and you have complete control over what they play. Everything we asked for, they did and more. I can’t say enough about how amazing these guys are. BOOK PHILLY CUSTOM DJ

    Pleasure to work with

    Adam was a treat to work with! He is organized, professional and fun. We rented his Photo Booth for a 75th birthday celebration and it was the highlight of the party. Appreciate his time spent in advance of the party getting all the details right and the custom colors on the printed photos to match our theme.

    Flawless performance!

    I really can't recommend Adam and his organization enough. He is a consummate professional with an incredible eye for detail - he does not miss a beat - literally! We hired him for our wedding and at our request he was able to provide many different complicated sound systems in different places, completed sound checks, provided different types of microphones, video screens, photo booths - he really has it all!

    10/10!- Adam and his team are the best!

    So happy we used Adam and his team for our wedding. Philly custom DJ truly spends so much time getting to know you so they can customize your day exactly how you want it. The photo booth was also a HUGE hit. It was also so affordable. 10/10!

    Amazing dj

    Adam was an excellent DJ. He met with us multiple times before our wedding. He was attentive to our needs and ensured that everything went smoothly on the day of the wedding. He mixed our song selections expertly which resulted in guests on the dance floor rocking out the whole time. His photo booth and props were also a huge hit at the wedding. I highly recommend Philly Custom DJ.

    Adam was better than we could have hoped for. Great vibes and reads the room well.

    He didn’t just help us as a DJ, he was the first vendor we hired for our wedding and he gave us tons of helpful advice along the way. Perfect personality for a wedding DJ, always kept it positive and read the room. We had someone performing a bit of live music and everything went to plan. I know you’ll read this Adam, thank you! 10/10 HIRE THIS MAN

    Philly Custom DJ's reply:

    Your wedding was fun and unique! Not many people are serenaded for their first dance, and I'm glad we were able to make that happen! Watching people get on the dance floor for Lola by The Kinks, and hearing you guys singing The Gambler from the other room are just two of the many memories that will always stand out in my mind.
    And since I know you'll read this:
    Have a wonderful marriage!
    Love is everything

    Excellent!

    We are so happy we chose Philly Custom DJ to be apart of our wedding day. Adam was eager to help us every step of the way, while also allowing us to customize and choose the kind of music we wanted to hear. Meeting with him through zoom allowed us to get to know each other better, which we loved. He truly enjoys his job and it shows. Don’t hesitate, choose them for your next event!!

    Adam is the best!

    Adam was wonderful to work with from start to finish. He's truly passionate about what he does and worked with us to create the perfect playlists for our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception that reflected who we are as a couple but also kept the dance floor packed. The client portal was a great way for us to add our favorite songs and details about the day of. He was so helpful with creating our day-of schedule as well and made sure we had every detail nailed down. Wish we could get married again so Adam could create more playlists for us!

    Awesome Tunes and Great Vibes

    Adam from Philly Custom DJ was an amazing addition to our wedding! He met with us several times before the wedding to explain his process and the logistics of everything. He was even able to customize our entrance music with a Grateful Dead procession! He played awesome music all night that had everyone grooving, and was extremely flexible about extending his time! I recommend Philly Custom DJ 110%!

    Best dj ever!

    Look no further - Adam is THE MAN!!!! From the very beginning, we knew our wedding day was going to be a breeze with Adam. He was incredibly helpful with music suggestions and helped us with major details (like the timeline and planning our untraditional ceremony!) Our meetings with him over zoom were so laid back it was like hanging with an old friend. Late in the game, we added a photo booth onto our package which turned out to be one of the best parts of the wedding! Adam even let us customize the photo strip to match all of the wedding stationary!

    The music was on point the whole night and a week later, people are still talking about how sick the dance floor was. Beyond the music, Adam offered a hand in anything we may have needed help with. For a DIY wedding, we were extremely thankful to have such an incredible vendor. Don't miss out on a seriously good time with a great dude dropping the beats!

    The do it all man

    We thought we were hiring a DJ. What we got was so much more. Adam became not only our DJ but our web designer, planner, event coordinator, and even taught us how to do the self unifying marriage. His photo booth is super customizable and had the most props I’ve ever seen. Adam was extremely helpful every step of the way and everything he did he went the extra 10 miles. It felt like he was truly invested in our wedding and was the best hire we’ve ever made. Thanks Adam! We’ll definitely be using Philly Custom DJ for any big future events.

    Bride & Groom

    YOU NEED ADAM & HIS CREW AT YOUR WEDDING!!! The music was exactly what we wanted from start to finish & the crowd loved his hype man. Adam was easy to work with from the start & very professional and organized. He uses a planning portal that we had access to for uploading music and other information. This was super helpful. Oh, and the photo booth is a MUST. Our guests loved it and the photos were a nice take away from the wedding. We can’t thank Adam enough for everything he did to make our wedding a blast.

    Best Custom Wedding DJ in Philadelphia

    It's impossible to overstate how pleased we were with Adam at Philly Custom DJ. We initially reached out to Adam because we wanted a DJ who would play our custom playlist, but what he provided was much, much more. During the almost 2+ years it took to plan our wedding (COVID), Adam met with us regularly and provided valuable input and advice to help our wedding vision take shape. He's was our DJ, our MC, our timekeeper, our audio-visual expert, and much much more. He helped us create a music filled ceremony, a fully DJ'd cocktail hour, and an amazing dance party with a number of musical tricks and set-pieces. Beyond his unmatched expertise, he was also just so fun to work with. While many parts of wedding planning are extremely stressful, we always looked forward to our planning calls with Adam. If you are looking to create a memorable wedding experience, want help building the wedding playlist of your dreams, looking for someone to run AV, MC, get the party started, AND have a ton of fun in the process, look no farther than Adam at Philly Custom DJ.

    Philly Custom DJ's reply:

    Dear Liz & Dixon,
    Planning your wedding was a lot of fun. You had great out-of-the-box ideas like waving streamers during the ceremony, the recession parade, and the Once In A Lifetime entrance. After two years of planning the result was phenomenal! It was a great time, not just for your guests, but for us as well!
    PS: I love that picture!

    Such an awesome team!

    Can’t say enough about our experience from start to finish with the Philly Custom DJ team!

    We first met with Adam who right away was super friendly and energetic about making sure our DJ experience was how WE envisioned it. He was so personable it felt like we knew him for years. Numerous video calls were held in the early months to make sure we had all of the resources we needed to make playlists and plan our timeline. Scheduling meetings was always super easy through their calendar and Adam’s communication was great & really put us at ease. He was always super responsive if we emailed him questions and was flexible when we had to make changes to our package. The portal was also a HUGE help during the entire planning process. It allowed us to listen to and add songs to custom playlists, create/edit the wedding timeline, pay invoices, assign songs to certain events, etc. The portal really made everything so easy that I can’t imagine not having it while planning.

    The DJs for our wedding were Alex and Jack. Again, leading up to our wedding there was incredible communication about song selection, our timeline, the venue and everything in between. I mean this as a compliment - there were many times where we didn’t notice the DJ team! By that I mean their setup and take down process and moving across our venue was seamless. Our venue had 3 different locations on-site for the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. They were able to seamlessly set up and move between each location without any break in music. At the reception, Alex & Jack kept the music on theme with our vibe but also played to the crowd so that there was always plenty of people up & dancing. If we had a change in plan or wanted to add something, they were fine doing it on the fly. We were having such a good time that we asked to extend for an hour (with payment) and they were totally happy to stay. They were incredibly accommodating!

    Philly Custom DJ was one of the first DJs we looked at and we knew almost immediately they were the people we needed for our wedding. So glad we had them!

    Partly Time

    Adam was extremely helpful from beginning to end in helping navigate the process.

    Capturing our eclectic music taste was really important to us and he took that on as a challenge.

    He did an amazing job working with the venue to figure out the logistics and really helped define the party.

    We got a ton of compliments on how fun and smoothly everything ran and he was a big part of that.

    We can’t recommend him highly enough.

    Great experience

    Adam and his crew are awesome! We met on Zoom a handful of times leading up to our wedding and Adam made the process of selecting songs and creating playlists very clear. You can be as involved in the process as you want and Adam has good advice for every decision. On the day of, Adam and his crew helped ensure the wedding went smoothly and of course, fun and entertaining! Many thanks to Adam for helping make our wedding very special. PS - We recommend the photo booth as well!

    Best DJ for your wedding, period.

    The pressure is on. This is the most important review of my life. Why? Simple, because when you hire Adam and work with Philly Custom DJ for your wedding, he makes your wedding day the most important of his life.

    Not unlike a lot of you, my now wife Courtney and I knew we wanted a DJ for our wedding annnnd we didn't have much of a clue beyond that. We read review after review trying to get a sense of who would "click" with our vibe. Something about Adam's reviews stuck with us. People LOVED Adam. Well, I'll save you time...dont read any more reviews, just hire Adam!

    Adam takes the time to get to know you personally. Via phone calls or Zooms he asks questions about everything from musical likes and dislikes, to ceremony/cocktail hour/reception vibe, to sound cues so everything goes off without a hitch. He has good advice when needed but also is happy to go forward with whatever vision you see for your day. All of your information and preferences are kept on a google doc sheet, which you can update as well at your convenience, so nothing is ever forgotten or overlooked. Like I said, he really really cares. Adding in COVID could throw anyone off their game, but Adam was ready, willing and able to meet the challenge. He purchased extra wireless mics so every individual speaker during our day could have their own mic, with their own personal boom cover and personal equipment-safe sanitizer to keep everyone as safe as possible.

    The day of our wedding is where Adam really shined. He set up his sound system for our rain contingency ceremony (we had a lot of bad luck leading up to this wedding) and when the sun shined an hour before the start, Adam moved like lightning to get his equipment outside/getting sound check completed/welcoming guests and we never skipped a beat. He mixed an incredible set for our cocktail hour that we still listen to every time we are boozin around our house. As for the reception, I think Adam had as much fun as we did dancing to the music and taking requests from our masked up guests who weren't going to let this pandemic stop them from having a safe, socially responsible blast on the dance floor. What more do you need to hear? Hiring Philly Custom DJ was the best decision we could have ever made. You don't need to read any more reviews, just schedule a phone call with Adam and see for yourself. He will NEVER let you down. Thanks for everything Adam!!

    Philly Custom DJ's reply:

    Dear Ben & Courtney,

    Like the sun breaking through the clouds on your wedding day, your wedding was a bright light in my life after months of darkness because of the pandemic. It warmed my heart to see your guests dancing all night. Thank you for letting me be a part of your special day.

    Your cocktail hour mix is still in heavy rotation on my stereo.

    Wishing you the best in your marriage. Love is everything.

    Adam

    Amazing 10/10

    Adam did such an incredible job for our wedding day. He truly tailored every detail to make our day personal and a reflection of us as a couple.

    The photo booth he provides is such an awesome detail to add for unforgettable memories.

    Highly recommend 10/10!!

    Cold sparks!!

    Adam was so professional and organized in the planning process. Not only did he deliver on our playlist, but he also acquired cold sparks so that we could have a magical first dance and a memorable reception for our guests. Highly highly recommend!!!

    Your playlist was a pleasure - but the cold sparks took us over the top! Thank you for leading us into the cold sparks era!

    Absolutely Incredible

    Absolutely 100000000% would hire again. Adam is a great communicator, he got right back to me every time I reached out. When the venue needed his COI - he sent it within minutes of my request. He would send some playlists and we would tweak them, and always responded in the hour. We lived farther away so our meeting were through zoom and via email, which worked out just fine.

    He was so detailed, which helped by guide the timing of my entire wedding. He was even thinking of things I wasn’t. I haven’t been to many weddings, so he recommended songs, music transitions, even customized music for the toasts. It helped me so much, that I felt very confident going into my wedding day.

    The music he curated with us was perfect, and he was able to get people to dance and out to the dance floor during those moments it got a bit light. He listened to my guests and heard them talking about Madonna, so he played one of her songs. Adam’s really attentive to the guests and requests as well.

    He’s got a great personality and very easy to work with. He even took some photos and sent them to us. We had our wedding playlist the next day so we could listen and relive it again. He is a great choice, and I highly recommend him and will definitely hire again for any future events.

    Above and beyond

    Above and Beyond. The only way to describe Adam and his team. Adam absolutely smashed it at our wedding a little over a month ago where we had 4 different locations that required audio at sometimes overlapping times. He created a custom playlist for us that ended up being spot on for our audience. We got rave reviews from our guests for the music and the amazing Photo Booth. I would recommend him for anyone looking to put on a memorable party!!

    A Great DJ for a Beautiful Day

    We loved working with Adam! Philly Custom DJ was not just great at providing the music for our special day, but Adam also helped us through the process of planning out our reception. Our calls with him were fun and informative and really got us thinking about how we wanted our reception to go and what music we wanted to set the scene for our big day.

    He perfectly synthesized our musical taste for an amazing cocktail hour playlist we'll be listening to for years to come. And when it came time for the reception, he made sure everyone was up and dancing. I had several people comment on the great mix of music he played. Plus who else but Philly Custom DJ would offer an instrumental Miyazaki playlist for the prelude?

    On a more personal note, having to push our wedding back a whole year due to COVID was a stressful decision, but Adam was always a joy to work with and was so flexible throughout the whole process. We knew we could count on him, even during complicated circumstances. Our calls with him during the wedding planning process were always joyful, which is so needed during the stressful planning process. I'd recommend Philly Custom DJ to any couple looking for a world-class DJ!

    Must have wedding playlist!

    You know your DJ was a success when your guests keep asking for the playlist! And luckily Adam sent us a link to it on Spotify the next morning. We wanted a 90s school dance vibe with the bridesmaids walking down the aisle to Spice Girls and groomsmen to Back Street Boys and Adam happily indulged us. The online system for us to organize our special songs as well as preference was very simple to use and made preparation and organizing super easy. The day of he worked with our speakers before the ceremony to make sure the audio would be perfect, and was even ready to hype up the crowd although ours came ready to rage. Overall, we’re very happy with our choice!
