So, you’ve got your venue locked in, and you’re researching the best wedding DJs in NYC…
As you know, it’s a big day coming. It's the biggest day of your entire life, some might say. And you've got one chance to get it right. Securing one of the best wedding DJs in NYC is crucial. You're bringing together so many vastly different people from all the different chapters of your life—some who haven’t seen each other in years and some who would never have the opportunity to meet if it wasn’t for you deciding to bring them together in the most joyous of ways (take a bow).
“I mean, in what other imaginable scenario would you get to see your gap year backpacking friend from Thailand twerking with your dermatologist?”
Now, how can you make sure that every single guest enjoys themselves to the fullest, giving themselves over to the night; sharing memories and forging new connections, walking away as one big newly joined family? You need one of the best wedding DJs in NYC to pull off the seemingly impossible, by uniting the entire crowd, blending their varying tastes and preferred music styles into one unforgettable night of epic celebration, keeping the dance floor packed all night. A great party starts with thoughtful planning and curation, and ends with masterful execution. (Go, DJ!)
Humbly speaking, I’ve been called one of the best wedding DJs in NYC—and by some, THE best wedding DJ in NYC. For good reason: I know how to read the room, delivering something for everyone, seamlessly blending and mashing it all together, switching styles and genres without your guests missing a step or even noticing; hands in the air, sweat dripping, smiles and laughter. And of course, I make sure your incredible music tastes are well represented, perfectly balancing your personal favs with crowd pleasers to achieve frenzied dance floor unity.
The right luxury wedding DJ will always keep the mood high-energy, yet elegant and chic. No cheesy wedding songs. Ever. The truth is, one bad song can kill the whole party vibe pretty quickly, and the crowd may never recover. As one client reported, a wide-eyed guest shouted to him during one of my dance sets, “There are no DUDS!” Those are the types of reactions I consistently deliver. There’s hardly a sadder sight at a wedding than an empty dance floor on a night that holds so much potential. What’s nearly as sad is seeing a couple of eager friends take one for the team and attempt to lead by example, while trying to act like they’re having a great time out there alone on the floor.
Yes, we’ve got to get Grandma and all the aunts and uncles on the dance floor. We’ve got to bring out that sleeping inner Carlton Banks hiding inside Uncle Bobby, but we also have to keep your college crew tearing it up until the lights come on. It takes a very astute NYC wedding DJ talent to strike this delicate balance, and do it with style, when such a memorable evening is on the line. This is more than just a wedding playlist; it's the soundtrack to the biggest night of your life.
9 times out of 10, when asked what they remember most about a wedding, guests say: the music, the dancing, or the (DJ-influenced) energy—though you’ll choose amazing vendors for all your other needs, I’m sure. But choosing the right NYC luxury wedding DJ of ALL the best wedding DJs in NYC can make or break your wedding. Guests will always remember your wedding music; good or bad… and that your wedding was the last time, or quite possibly the first time they’ve gotten lost on the dance floor and didn’t give a damn who was watching (we see you, Uncle Bobby). So let's make this THE night that your friends and family will be talking about for years to come.
I look forward to speaking with you about your own unique wedding music style and vision!
Love,
Adam Subtract’em

Brings the vibe and energy for your ultimate celebration
“We were so happy to find Adam for our wedding. It was hard to find a wedding DJ that could see our vision, more of a night club vibe with high level mixing, versus the usual wedding DJ. We had some diverse genres we wanted to weave together without feeling disjointed. He really mixed everything in a seamless way, creating a great energy within the party. Would highly recommend if you want everyone out on the dance floor all night!”

“Adam was awesome; I can’t praise him enough. We opted to do a cocktail party style wedding instead of a traditional seated dinner, so we needed someone who would really be able to read the crowd and not stick to the traditional “script” of a wedding. Adam was stellar; he followed the crowd’s cues and provided the right ambiance throughout the evening. I had several friends say that they hadn’t danced like that in ages.
In terms of music, we had a lot of good conversations with him leading up to the big day. My husband and I have VERY disparate tastes in music but Adam took the time to dig into our likes and dislikes and I feel he really got us. He also helped us pick our entrance music since my husband and I had different ideas on what it should look like. In terms of service, he was very responsive whenever we emailed with questions, thoughts, etc.. He’s also detail-oriented, such as making sure we had the right version of the Hora (I had no idea there were so many variations).”

“Adam absolutely crushed it! He managed the ceremony audio as well as the crazy party tunes (and everything in between). Kept the party rocking honestly until the last second... and even played a little encore for us! The dance floor was packed for 5 hours straight!
After a quick, super personable coffee meeting, he really got to know us and customized the playlist to our liking, from classic wedding tunes to bumping reggaeton... he really nailed it. Great talent. Great communication. Great personality. He just gets it. Totally recommend!”

My husband and I had a great experience working with Adam. He was super responsive and just a nice person to deal with. We had a mix of ages and cultures at our wedding and really wanted to make sure everyone had a great time and heard music they loved. Without much direction from us beyond that general idea and a couple of "do not plays", Adam absolutely nailed it. Everyone was on the dance floor the whole night, and 3 years later people still tell me how great the music at our wedding was. I would recommend Adam Subtract'em to anyone that wants great music at their wedding.
