Sheila Cea
DJ
Our DJ Steve was so pleasant to talk with and his professionalism out of this world. He really made the ceremony and reception a memorable one. We were able to give him what kind of selection we wanted and he delivered. My daughter (the bride) was very pleased. You could tell by how much fun she had on the dance floor. And the Photo Booth was an awesome addition I definitely recommend. I truly dint want it but whatever the bride wants she gets and I was so happy that I listened to her. It was a hit with everyone. I would definitely recommend Steve to DJ for your event. You won’t be disappointed. Thank you so much Steve More...

Steven was so great with his Photo Booth for our roaring 20s party. He had the perfect backdrop & was on time and ready to go. He was soooo patient with all the kids wanting to take photos and helped everyone find props and feel comfortable in the booth. Would definitely recommend hiring him and getting lasting memories through awesome photos! More...

DJ Steven is the perfect person to have on our wedding team. He promptly replied to each inquiry, was detailed and concise and knew exactly to get the information he needed from us. He is kind and understands how crazy planning a wedding can be! We had an incredibly festive and beautiful celebration thanks in a large part to DJ Steven. It was a huge relief knowing he would be in charge of this very critical part of our important event...I would hire him again in a heart beat! He is a hard working professional DJ that knows how to read a crowd! Our guests loved him and his vibe! More...

Anita
DJ
Steven Feinberg is an outstanding DJ. He has a real gift of blending music together in such a way that it just flows perfectly. He played all the classics we asked for and also blended in music that fit with our likes and requests. I asked Steven to choose some current music and he chose songs that really got everyone up dancing and partying. This DJ never even takes a break and his passion and feel for the music is impressive. Our main focus was to get people dancing and he really got that done! Highly recommend this down to earth guy who really focused on making our party a success! Anita Stirling More...

Leybelis P
Awesome working with Steven as he worked for our non-profit fundraising event. He was responsive, professional and played all the music we wanted and was very accommodating. He even found some songs that are pretty obscure/not common, which I was pleasantly surprised. Can't wait to use him again for our future events! More...

Thank you so much, Leybelis! It was a pleasure working with you, and the event and location were amazing!

Kelly B
I hired Steven to DJ my 50th birthday celebration and Steven played a great selection of music and kept us on the dance floor for 5 hours just one classic after another that spread across my 5 decades. I chose Steven based on his song selection demo and he did not disappoint. All my guests thought he did a great job also, they only made a few requests otherwise Steven played a great selection of tunes that they all loved. Would most certainly hire him again. Nice guy too!

Tony P
We hired Steven recently for a private party. The gig was originally only for 3 hours, but we ended up extending it for a couple more since the vibe was so good and everyone was dancing. The guy knows a LOT about music and has an extensive collection to match. He was also punctual and quick to setup. Very professional. We'll definitely hire again for another party. 5 Stars. Highly recommend. Thanks Steven! More...

Erin P
Steven was so great to work with. I chose to work with him for my husband’s 40th Birthday party because he was friendly and flexible. Originally I wanted a band but decided to go with a DJ in order to please everyone’s taste in music. He was open to playing any songs I requested. He was very professional and organized. He was on time and reliable. During the party he was also very accommodating to the guests taking as many requests as he could. I highly recommend Steven for any party or event! I would definitely hire him for my next party. More...
Thien D
Could not be happier with the choice we made to hire DJ Steven Feinberg. We were last minute planners and started the search super late, literally days before our event. But DJ Steven Feinberg was very quick in responding and answering all our questions and concerns. The day of the event, he showed up exactly when he said he would, setup quickly, and was the heartbeat of our event. I gave him very little direction in a very specific direction we wanted the music to go in, and he nailed it. He got the party started, knew when to kick it into the next gear, and then chilled it out near the end of the night with throwbacks. Thank you again DJ Steven Feinberg! More...
What’s the secret to keeping a party dancing all night long?
I've spent many years in the DJ booth connecting with crowds and figuring out what they would like to hear. There's nothing better than throwing on a song at an event that no one expects me to know is a favorite for that particular group, but that everyone in the crowd loves. It's also important to prepare ahead of time, get input from the hosts and play accordingly- is this a birthday celebration? Is there a theme? Do the guests of honor (or hosts) have favorite artists? Are there "special" songs that the whole crowd knows from school, expects to be played, etc? I also find it helpful to engage the crowd, talking to them and allowing them to request songs (if the hosts permit!).
How would you describe your ‘style’?
Every event is different and requires a different tone, but I'd say my overall style is "let the music speak for itself!" I am not the type of DJ to talk over all your favorite songs and self-promote, but I'm very comfortable with MCing and am happy to make announcements throughout the night for you and encourage the crowd (if necessary). I enjoy the challenge of seamlessly mixing songs from different eras and genres (as well as newer hits), engaging everyone in the audience regardless of their age. But most of all, it's about keeping the party going and making sure that my clients and their guests are having a great time!
What makes photo booths such a great alternative to traditional photographers?
Although photo booths don't replace the role of the traditional photographer, they have become a popular and fun addition to any event! Many guests enjoy the interactive aspect of a photo booth (and taking home a photo keepsake of the evening), and my clients love being able to keep all the images afterwards as a momento of the event! My photo booth offers a COVID-compliant touch-free option, with all virtual props and camera options available right from your guests' smartphones.
What photo booth props do you offer?
Currently, we have a wide variety of COVID-compliant virtual props available with a number of different themes including wedding, holidays, birthday, sports, etc.
What do you love most about your job?
I enjoy being able to share my love of music with people and help provide the soundtrack for all sorts of celebrations. I also enjoy the challenge of setting up and performing in new locations and situations- every event is a new experience! I have also been fortunate to travel the world as a DJ, playing in locations including London, Ibiza, Miami, New Orleans, and Playa Del Carmen.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I started my own business because I had seen a number of amateur DJ's providing substandard service and equipment at a number of weddings and other events, which ended up having a detrimental effect on the entire evening. Considering my knowledge of music and experience in multiple areas of the event services industry, I decided that I would provide a high standard for quality, service, professionalism and fun for my clients during their important occasions!
Why should our clients choose you?
Clients should choose me because I am a full-time career professional dedicated to consistently providing a great, hassle-free experience for my clients. I offer top-notch equipment, reliability and professionalism at a competitive price. During my twenty-year career as a professional DJ, I have worked thousands of events including weddings, corporate events, theme nights, art and fashion shows, radio programs, festivals, club residencies, and more. In addition to DJing, I am classically trained in music and hold a master's degree in GLS with a concentration in Ethnomusicology/Music History from Duke University. I also served as a Conference/Event Planner at Duke University for their annual "Across The Threshold" Music and Art Conference Series, was Co-Planner of the annual Mosaic Spring & Fall Music Festivals, and Owner/Head DJ of my own award-winning lounge and private event space (Mosaic Lounge) for 5 years.
My extensive background in DJing, event planning, and venue ownership has given me a comprehensive understanding of how to work well with venue staff, planners, and other vendors, and what my clients need and expect throughout both the planning process and at the event itself. With so many hosts opting to plan their own events nowadays without the help of a professional event or wedding planner (and the growing use of "day of" planners), the DJ is now taking on a much larger role in the timing and flow if the event. Therefore, it's vital that the modern event DJ have a solid understanding and feel for planning, timing, and throwing a party, and is not there simply to make announcements and play music.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
I am happy to connect with my clients via video conference for any pre-event planning needs and to go over the details of the event.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
I am fully vaccinated (card available upon request). In addition to following local and national health guidelines, I stay a safe distance from guests, use disinfectant, and wear a facemask at all times at all events. In order to keep guests involved, I have added a COVID-compliant phone app to my DJ software, allowing guests to request songs from anywhere in the venue while social distancing. I also use a full size DJ booth instead of the standard low catering table most DJ's use, which helps keep guests socially distanced from me in front of my setup. Finally, to prevent spread during microphone use, I have numerous microphones, as well as microphone stands and sterile microphone covers available for guests. My photo booth assistant wipes down any tactile surfaces after each use, we currently offer virtual props, and our photo booth can also be operated completely remotely by your guests through their phone and our QR Code system.
