Mon Amie Events

I cannot rave enough about how amazing Mona was. My partner and I had an «atypical» wedding. It’s hard to describe what it was but it was really casual, and it wasn’t Indian or Jewish but was also Indian and Jewish. There was also a live band, and two different live musical performances.
From the beginning — Mona got it. She first spoke on the phone with us and then met us in person. Although she was «just providing music» she worked with our MANY live music acts to ensure that the sound was good, she offered to run mics around during our ceremony without us even asking her and she played music throughout the wedding from pre-​ceremony, to during our super casual unseated dinner, to dancing.
She managed to incorporate our musical tastes from the 70s, 80s, 50s, some current stuff, with some Indian music requested by my family (some that we sent her in advance and I think she managed to find random Indian requests on the fly as well?), along with requests from my 9 year old nephew. She never made me feel at all bad about my requests to include TLC and Tiffany (I think we’re alone now, of course) to Harry Belafonte. Also, I have heard of DJs in the past who say things like «well nobody will dance to that» or «you HAVE to include a, b, c or else nobody will dance» and she never questioned anything.
We actually had people ask us for the playlist at the end of the night.
When my 9 year old nephew decided he was going to do a speech, I introduced him to Mona and she ensured that he had a mic and felt confident on stage.
And both her and her assistant Katie were also just so warm, friendly, happy, and added to the overall atmosphere of a calm and casual event like we wanted. They were all smiles every time we saw them.
My final comment is that she was so great that we look forward to seeing her DJ at clubs in Brooklyn :)

I was going to write that contracting with Mon Amie was the best decision I made about my wedding, but need to edit that– deciding to marry my groom was the best decision, but Mon Amie was the second-​best! Seriously, I cannot recommend them enough. We found them through an internet search for non-​cheesy wedding DJs in the NY metro area. We’ve been to enough weddings with cheesy, overbearing DJs, playing the same twenty songs, and knew we wanted something different for our wedding. Our DJ was Mona Dehghan and from the first time we Skyped with her, we absolutely loved her. I was pretty intimidated at first because she has lots of music cred, and we have pretty mainstream taste in music. But, she was so sweet and funny and nice. What sold me was when we told her that we wanted our wedding to be a big dance party and she said that everyone should have the feeling of elation all night long. That was the perfect way to sum up how we wanted the reception! She was really respectful of our tastes and selections and gave us some great options for different special songs. I felt like she totally «got» our vision and our vibe.
During the reception itself, Mona was amazing. She had everyone on the dance floor. It was amazing to see the different generations and some very disparate groups of friends and families mixing it up on the dance floor– literally all night. She managed my sometimes overbearing family’s requests so well– at one point the Irish side kept requesting Irish songs and the Italian side said something about it– so she spontaneously played the Tarantella. It was really funny and fun– and perfectly timed.
So many people have told me that our wedding was the most fun wedding they’ve ever been too– and I think that was due to Mona’s flexibility and ability to read the crowd. I literally cannot say enough about Mona, she was the best– I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a wedding DJ that is not typical and cheesy but fun, classy, and energetic.
