Aria Melody DJ

I knew Aria Melody was «the one» after seeing their straightforward, «no gimmicks» website, and they totally delivered. Joe S. was a dynamite DJ – I’m kind of bummed that I was busy being a bride during some of the music bits, because I would have LOVED to have been part of the surprise funk session that broke out in the middle of the night.
Joe was great at moving in and out of songs that weren’t getting people on the floor, something that only happened maybe twice. He was very easy to work with (so mellow that I was even a little nervous about his potential energy levels – I shouldn’t have wasted my time. He was totally on his A-​game), and even sourced a few songs that I was worried would be difficult to get.
Four months later, and people are still talking about how fun our wedding was. Joe was a huge part of that, and I’m so grateful.

Rob just DJ’d my wedding. He was a pleasure to work with. Leading up to the wedding he seemed extremely competent and reliable which is such a gift during the wedding planning process. He came early to the venue on the day of the wedding and kept the entire part dancing all night. He stuck to every detail we discussed and delivered on all his promises.

Amazing. The only word we can use to describe Aria Melody. Music was one of the most important elements for us for our wedding, and every penny spent on Aria was worth it.
Rob was our DJ and he was great. The process was flawless from beginning to end. During our calls leading up to the big night, you could tell wanted to understand us and our vision for the night so he could put together the best playlist possible.
Night of, he was professional, flexible, and did an amazing job reading the crowd. Multiple people came up to tell us they loved the music. We had a perfect wedding, and Rob and the music were a HUGE part of it.
Bottom line, I’d give them a 6 if I could. They will work with you to get your vision and be responsive leading up to the day. Most important, on the big day itself they will do an amazing job, play the right jams at the right time and be completely flexible. Trust me, you’ll be in great hands with Aria and Rob!

We are the 9^th review to give Aria Melody 5 stars and we would give them 10 stars if we could. We first met John when he did my wife’s brother’s wedding in 2011. After getting engaged, we knew we had to book him. He was amazing to work with from start to finish. We told him the type of music we liked and a couple songs to play /​not play. He took it from there and was absolutely amazing. He read the crowd and had the dance floor overflowing from start to finish. We got so many compliments on how amazing our DJ was. He even helped us customize our first dance song when we couldn’t decide between two.

We hired Joe to work our wedding in September. Our wedding reception went better than I could have ever imagined! Joe got the party going right away and we could barely sit down to eat, we danced all night. Our parents and older family members were raving about the DJ just as much as all of our friends. We’ve had a few friends ask for his information for themselves or friends. In addition to keeping the party going all night, Joe was also great with last minute requests. We completely changed the order of the whole party at the last minute (½ hour before the reception) to accommodate a grandmother who was not feeling well and needed to leave early. He was so easy to work with and made up a new schedule on the spot that worked with everyone’s requests.
Joe was professional, easy to work with, knew how to work the party and the room without talking too much and he got everyone dancing– young and old. We truly had the best wedding with the best DJ.

This review is a long time overdue! Sorry for the delay Rob! The whole process was just awesome. My wife and I were looking for a great wedding DJ that wasn’t going to be corny or talk too much or any of that jazz. One that could get a good feel for the crowd and keep the party hopping.
Aria Melody, John and Rob Sicat (our wedding night DJ) were just awesome. We (my wife and I) had planned so many meetings but being a pilot I was unable to keep them, and John was very understanding. We were able to share a Spotify playlist and discuss options via a tele-​conference.
The afternoon of the wedding Rob came, setup everything while the ceremony was taking place up on the balcony and had everything ready to go well in advance. Didn’t have any worries at all.
What made it truly special and different was that Rob was able to really feel the crowd, play our must haves but honestly it was non stop dancing and fun. Outstanding work, professionalism and would not hesitate to recommend to anyone looking for the perfect DJ.
Thanks again, gents!

I heard an Aria DJ at a wedding and they were very good. E-​mailed and called John Sinclair a # of times to book. He arranged for us to meet a DJ and cancelled at the last minute — he promised to follow up and never did. Pretty disappointed at the lack of courtesy.

John and Rob from Aria Melody were amazing. John was always responsive and professional. Everything was straight forward and easy.
Rob worked our wedding. He was responsive, professional, and very knowledgeable. He very quickly understood the vibe we were trying to go for. My wife wanted world music for the cocktail hour and Rob did the extra research to find the songs that appealed to her. We trusted him to make the dance playlist. After providing a few examples of songs we like/don’t like, he came up with a playlist that was perfect. He required very little input from us.
Rob read the crowd and kept the dance floor packed. He served as our MC, but talked just the right amount. Also, there was some push back from the venue to do short 10-​minute dance sessions in between courses. Rob knew that wouldn’t fit the crowd and immediately let me know. We agreed to save the dancing until after the entrée and it worked out perfectly.
I couldn’t be happier with John, Rob, and Aria Melody. I highly recommend them for any wedding.

We could not have been happier with Owen from Aria Melody DJ! When we first met Owen for coffee to discuss the music for our wedding, we immediately felt like he understood us as a couple. Before getting into specifics, we spent some time getting to know each other and talking about our favorite bands. His laid-​back, personable demeanor made us feel like we were hanging out with a friend rather than meeting with a vendor. We had some very specific requests but we were also looking for suggestions, and Owen recommended songs that fit in perfectly with our playlist.
On our wedding day, we were very impressed with Owen’s professionalism and ability to seamlessly transition between each part of our reception. During dinner, he played all of the songs that we had requested and mixed in a few of his own. We were amazed that Owen’s selections were some of our favorite songs! He knew our personal style so well that we could just relax and enjoy the wedding without worrying about the music.
During the dancing portion of the night, Owen did an incredible job blending well known pop songs with some of our more obscure selections. He kept the party going on the dance floor the entire night, and our guests could not stop raving about him. After the wedding, many of our friends told us Owen was «the best DJ they’d ever heard!»
We cannot stress enough how positive our experience was with both Owen and John from Aria Melody DJ. There are many difficult tasks that go along with planning a wedding, but working with Aria is not one of them. Make your life easier and book them NOW!

Choosing a DJ for our wedding felt like a huge undertaking: the mood of our reception seemed at stake as we were throwing a party for our nearest and dearest, and choosing a soundtrack for the most important commitment of our lives.
Then we met John from Aria Melody DJ, and everything changed. Right away, we knew we’d found a consummate professional and the perfect DJ for our wedding. John is a pleasure to work with, expertly versed in music, creative and intuitive in putting together playlists, and he executed a flawless evening for us.
There’s a reason that Aria Melody is consistently rated 5 stars across wedding sites: John is a talented, top-​notch DJ who brings class and elegance to his work. Book him right this second.

John is a bit of a renaissance man, a throwback to the times when DJ’s played good music and the event was about the people and not the DJ.
We had been torn between a band or a DJ for our wedding. It had little to do with cost bit more to do with us wanting an event where the DJ was only noticed because people never left the dance floor as opposed to for his smoke machine and strobe lights.
We hired John for our wedding a few years back and from the moment we met him, it was obvious that our wedding would be about us and John more than delivered. From the moment the dance floor filled up, it never emptied until the lights came on. We could not have asked for anything more. This fella is top rate class act. He’s honest and genuinely concerns himself with your event and what you want — and he delivers. He also has a knack for songs that keep you guessing — whether it’s the latest hit or an off beat old faithful that had been collecting dust for years — the guy just makes it work.
I will surely hire John for my next wedding. :)

I’ve personally worked with John twice now over the past two years and both times I’ve been impressed with his style and professionalism. Aria Melody brings some class to being a wedding dj. there’s no yelling into the microphone or making cheesy jokes. He plays good music and gets the crowd going without a fog machine. I’ve already recommended a bunch of couples to his website, and will continue to do so.

We hired Aria Melody DJ for our recent wedding.
John was PHENOMENAL from the time we booked until the end of our wedding.
— Communication was smooth and efficient.
— He took the time to get to know what we wanted and delivered.
— We gave him a long list of songs to play at the reception (that’s what happens when you start jotting down songs a year and a half before your wedding!)… but indicated that they were only suggestions. He played some of our suggested songs, but put his own creative spin and injected other songs. We have been to so many weddings where the DJ plays the song from beginning to end and then awkwardly plays the next song. John blended the songs so that the transitions were perfect. No awkwardness! He played a good mix so that the older and younger generations had a good time.
— We ran late, and even though he had plans afterwards, he stayed and kept people on the dancefloor.
— True to his word, there were NO gimmicks (i.e. no macarena, electric slide), and there was NO signage.
I would HIGHLY recommend Aria Melody to any couple who wants their guests to have a good time at their wedding.
