Murray Hill Talent member Paul Natale DJ'ed at our wedding. He was simply fantastic! Every announcement and introduction was perfect, our "must play" list was completely met, and people were dancing all night long. Paul is an experienced DJ and we had total confidence in him from the minute we booked. We wanted a broad range of decades and genres represented and he blended them all fabulously. And, the rates at Murray Hill Talent are totally fair and reasonable. I couldn't be happier.

Cory Harding DJ'd our wedding and was great - very easy to work with, very professional, handled all of our special requests, including a couple last-minute ones, with ease.

I am trying to review their band Redline, but they are only showing up under DJ. We had a 7 piece band called Redline from Murray Hill Talent and they were AMAZING! I can't say enough about this band. People who NEVER dance were on the dance floor ALL NIGHT! They stuck to our play list very well and knew exactly which songs to transition to. They played an excellent version of our wedding song and were just amazing to work with. Book them!

We were very please with Murray Hill. The price was a little expensive, but they did a great job and were very professional. We didn't want any toys or someone who took over the party. We just wanted a DJ to stay in the background and just play really good music. For this, Murray Hill did a great job.

Scott was very helpful in getting everything we needed. He recommended to us Brian Delac for our DJ and he was great!! Really listened to everything we wanted and didn't want and got the party started right after dinner! It was great. I have to hand it to him he did our ceremony music, cocktail hour, and reception!! We had him running around but he didn't skip a beat. Brian was a wonderful DJ and Scott at Murray Hill was very easy to deal with. I highly recommend this agency...especially Brian!

Brendan Howard was the DJ at our wedding last month and he was fantastic! He was easy to work with, responsive, understood the vibe we were going for, and played some GREAT mustic... the dance floor was full all night long! He was professional and non-cheesy, we'd use hiim again in a heartbeat!

For our wedding, we used the band Redline from Murray Hill talent. The band was incredibly talented and sounded fantastic, keeping everyone dancing all nice and pleasing both the older and younger generations. The only thing that I wasn't 100% happy with was that I feel like they ignored a few of my specific requests. For example, i specifically asked for no Black Eyed Peas, which they put on one of the CD mixes during their break, and definitely catered a bit more to some of the older people at first with more oldies as opposed to all contemporary music. That being said, they were very receptive when I asked them to pick things up a bit and everyone had a great time dancing.

Scott Arrington was our DJ at our 9/10/11 wedding. His choice of music was very throughtful and tasteful. My grumpy uncle who rarely says anything nice exclaimed in the middle of dinner how much he liked the music!!! Awesome job Scott!!! One concern was the $$$ ($1400). Also, 4 people had to request Justin Beiber before he'd play it (I could care less what he played - too busy having fun!) but according to my sister she got some attitude about her request. Odd.
Overall, Soctt was very very knowledgable in both music choices and how to start/keep the party going. Thanks for a great time! :)

I absolutely loved my band, Flipside. They were phenomonal and just what I was looking for. Murray Hill was so easy to work with and so responsive to my calls/emails. They made it really easy for me to get Flipside for my band. I can't say enough good things about them! Played what I wanted and did a great job.

We hired Scott Arrington to Dj our wedding this past August and I cannot say enough good things about Scott. He is a true professional, he was highly responsive during the planning process and made my wife feel comfortable as we went through the timetable/song list for the night. He met with us face to face and followed up numerous times by email and phone as we planned our evening. He is a creative DJ who appreciates music and caters to the crowd, Scott considers all ages of the crowd and genres. He is NOT the type of DJ who will use props and lead the congo line around the dancefloor and he is NOT looking to steal the show merely create a backdrop of music for an unforgettable night. We would highly recommend Murray Hill Talent.

We had Paul as our DJ and we used Caribica for our cocktail hour and ceremony. Caribica were brilliant, perfect music for the ambience we wanted. And Paul was AMAZING. As we planned everything from abroad we never actually met Paul and had to do everything on email. He was such a huge help with planning and so responsive to my hundreds of questions. He even help us cut some songs for the father/daughter dance. He kept the dance floor going all night and played the perfect mix of music. And his light show was AMAZING, def, def worth the money!

We went with Murray Hill after they were at a close friends wedding. We really enjoyed how quite the DJ was and how well they played the selection of song the couple picked.
We were surprised how long it took to hear back from them and how unprofessional their emails were. Seeing their work we decided to move forward, picked a DJ and signed a contract.
A few weeks before our wedding we received an email saying out DJ had been fired and we had one other option to go with... Not something we really wanted to be worrying about at that time... The new DJ was pretty nice and over all did a good job, his name was Zeke.
He was very flexible with needing to load his equipment onto a boat at a very specific time, set up on a Lake Winni island and then kind of be off in a corner.
The only issue we had was that it was really confusing our wedding party when he was trying to get everyone to line up and it took much too long. It also didn't seem like he followed the form they had us fill out. There were missing dances (not songs) and he never announced the last song... Other then that we were happy.

Scott Arrington was our wedding DJ and he was absolutely fantastic.
He played the perfect mix of great songs to keep both young and older guests happy. Everyone says people danced all night at their wedding...but literally people did not leave the dance floor.
We submitted some songs to Scott right before the wedding to give him an idea of what we liked and were completely on the same page. My husband and I even share one of our same favorite songs with him!
It was so nice to have such a professional MC for our special day. He lined everyone up for introductions which was so helpful and made the evening flow nicely.
We had the band Twilight for the first two hours to have some live music and they were a wonderful addition to the wedding. I'm so glad we added that. The lead singer has a really great voice and people were certainly dancing to them as well! They transitioned perfectly at 8pm over to our DJ, Scott.
You will be ecstatic with both DJ Scott and Twilight if you have them at your wedding.
Happy planning!

Had the Twighlight Jazz Trio for our cocktail hour and part of dinner and they were classy and wonderful. Great way to start the night.
Worked with Cory Harding who was wonderful and professional. Murray Hill Talent provided great tips for those giving toasts well in advance and other tips. Cory touched based with me a few days before the wedding and confirmed everything we wrote down at the wedding. He also went off of our playlist and did try out an older song to feel out the crowd but immediately went back to our playlist when my husband kindly mentioned to him that it will be all of our young friends dancing. He pronounced everybody's name correctly and mindfully stepped away from the DJ booth to allow for better photos of the person delivering a speech

We booked a DJ, Brian, and a jazz trio through Murray Hill. I am extremely pleased with my decision to use this company. The company is professional, responsive, and asks lots of questions to make sure they will play music to suit your taste. We threw a lot of "asks" at Brian and he delivered on every one. He had a tough situation to boot - it was a gorgeous night in Newport and all of our guests wanted to be out on the lawn. Yet he worked it and sure enough we had a packed dance floor until the end! He really did a great job. My only thought for how they could improve would be smoother transitions between the trio and the DJ, as the trio played for cocktail hour and then again during dinner. Sometimes the hand-offs between the DJ and trio weren't the smoothest but it wasn't a big deal. Overall I do highly recommend Brian and Murray Hill and am thankful they helped us throw quite a party!

Scott was our DJ for our wedding. He was brilliant! We left it to him to chose the majority of the music, but we also provided him with a list of \"must plays\" (some very obscure), \"must not plays\", and a fair amount of traditional Greek music to mix in over the course of the night. He took this all in stride and stuck diligently to our lists. He was never cheesy and only took to the mike for needed announcements. We could not have been happier with his performance, and on top of that he was so nice and professional- a joy to work with!

Brendan Howard and the entire Murray Hill team were amazing! We loved how Brendan listened to our suggestions and kept the party going exactly how we wished. He was able to get people dancing without being cheesy which we appreciated. Highly recommend!

Cory with Murray Hill did such a great job. He played all of the songs that we requested (and most importantly stayed far away from the Do not play list) but also took the time to really learn what our musical tastes were so that we were never disappointed. Each song got better and better. He also did an amazing job playing to the crowd and keeping everyone on the dance floor (including some family members that I've NEVER seen dance!) Both of our families raved about the music - all ages loved every minute!
