100/10 review! Gary and his team (including DJ Quil) are amazing. First of all they are just genuinly good people who care about their clients. But secondly, they are amazing at their jobs. They are communcative and they put on a hell of a performance. They DJ'd our Long Island wedding on 3/16/24 and we have a very diverse crowd. They played something for everybody there. They nailed it. We couldn't have been happier. The photobooth was also an amazing touch. Great job MNE! Will sing your praises for years to come. Xo K&K More...

Gary helped me through the whole process, he was very professional and very kind. His employees were really great and so friendly. They made everything so wonderful, they even helped me with my two huge balloon decors that I needed to add to the backdrop and they also added our bday banner as Gary said they would. It looked so amazing. And the price was affordable, thanks again Gary! More...

DJ and entertainment was by far my Husband's favorite part of the night. The team at MNE Events was spectacular. From the initial consultation to the very last song they were a dream to work with. Our package also included a photo booth, a 'dance on the clouds', and a monogrammed dance floor. All were executed wonderfully. They were super accommodating , from bringing in an additional vendor for the backdrop to the photo booth to finding a wall to display our monogram when our dance floor couldn't accommodate it. They were an integral part to keeping the night flowing and everything on schedule. I would hire them again in a heartbeat. More...

Couldn’t have asked for a better DJ crew and set up. With Calvin, DJ C-Smooth and DJ / MC Gary, G-Money Bass, our guests truly didn’t have a dry-eye for our ceremony and didn’t leave the dance floor during the reception. Our grand entrance and first dance songs were specially requested and made for us to perfection. Our guests also loved the photo booth! The transition and range in genres and tempos was exactly what we asked for but even better than we can have expected. They were entertaining and lively, engaging, and perfectly balanced letting us guide the night while also improvising and adding their fun and creative twists. Couldn’t have asked for a better DJ! I will always recommend and hope to utilize them for all of our future events. More...

I was a groom and Gary and his rude coworker ruined my experience at my wedding reception. My wife and I both requested songs that we liked and they agreed to only play those songs. They played random stuff we were not interested in and many songs that they promised to add to the wedding playlist were not added. Although they did play a number of the songs my wife selected, I did not get to dance with my friends to any of the 40 songs I added. I added four different songs from my favorite artist to the wedding playlist and marked them "must play" and they didn't even play one. It took me going up to them and going through the whole list on their computer to even get a few of my favorite songs played, and by that time it was late and a lot of people had gone home. More...

MNE events was beyond great I cannot say enough. They treated me like family from day 1. Gary was very flexible with me when I contacted him 20 months out before my wedding. Great packaging pricing and was available when I needed via text/zoom/email/call. My actual wedding took place 5/5/23 at the Guilford yacht club. MC rob and DJ TMiz held it down. Rob brought tf he energy and the music reflected whoever was on the dance floor. Everyone got their taste of music. From hip-hop, pop and reggae and even some Spanish music for my Dominican people to get funky too. The photo booth was a super plus. No one was sitting down for my wedding. Even with literal last minute changes, the mne team was responsive and on it. I cannot thank you guys enough. Consider this team family now. More...

They accommodated our request to have my brother play for our ceremony, micd us up for the main event and during the reception Rob was a fantastic MC who kept things moving and made sure people were where they needed to be . In addition we got the photo booth package and it was a hit - we chose the open-air booth and had it right next to the dancefloor which got a lot of traffic. They went above and beyond, Rob even grabbed my dad's camera (with permission of course) and ran around taking photos of everyone so my dad could dance and enjoy himself - the shots were great!

Our budget was limited and we did appreciate MNE Events accommodating that when many DJ’s would not have. They were also very friendly. However, communication was spotty- there were a couple times when I had to reach out twice in a row before I got a response. And when it came to our actual wedding we felt let-down.
I know they were trying but I felt like the DJ wasn’t very experienced and wasn’t familiar with the general gist of wedding music until towards the end. We gave them a list of songs we really wanted to hear, and heard maybe half of them. We REALLY missed the others, which we’d cut down from a longer list because we didn’t want to be too controlling. I kind of wish we had kept all of them now. I had requested 90s pop, which we did get, but that included one sad, slow, breakup song during dinner- as if he wasn’t familiar with it. That’s just the last thing anyone wants at a wedding!
Our parent dances were set to just the first minute of music, instrumental portions that weren’t recognizable, and not their choruses. And I did assume- wrongly- that the DJ’s would play the part of the songs that are recognizable. I can definitely see someone having a more positive experience with MNE than we did in the future, but it would require a closer degree of management than normal— and when you’re wedding planning, you don’t really want to micromanage anyone when it seems like a certain basic level of professional intuition should be expectable.
When the floor opened up for general dancing, the first few songs were what my friends later described as “2000s hip hop/club music”, the only one of which I recognized was “Bringin Sexy Back” (not the right vibe at all). Nothing like anything we recommended. We and a small portion of our friends were determined to dance anyways and I didn’t want to hover over the DJ so I didn’t keep coming back, but I sort of wish I did because we missed some great ones, and there’s no re-doing your wedding. Most of our guests were not dancing, I didn’t feel like the crowd was being “read” well. It did get better towards the end as he got into our requests and the general wedding songs you expect.
Me and my new husband were both fairly disappointed overall with the service, especially when all the reviews I saw on their website were pretty favorable. I feel like I missed something. I hate being critical and causing anyone to have a bad day but I feel that honest feedback is important for them to improve upon for future events and weddings.

Hiring Gary aka G Money Da Prince was one of the best decisions we made throughout wedding planning - hands down. Prior to contacting/hiring MNE we were provided a DJ through our venue which we started to become Uneasy about - poor communication and not really in tune with our unique needs as a couple etc. But from the first time reached out to Gary I knew this was different. It felt like family! He was genuine and willing to not only meet with me extensively but work with our budget. Which for a package including a DJ/MC duo that’s fresh off the radio - can’t be beat! We got the best surprise when the week before the wedding we had our final call and he told us DJ Billy Busch would be our DJ. They were both incredible!! The music was perfect for mixed crowd of 190 - the floor was never empty. My family actually got on the dance floor before dinner was even served lol! G money was the perfect MC, kept things moving. Perfect amount of funny and connected with our family and friends. While DJ Billy Busch kept the dance floor packed.

Professional, great energy, full of wonderful surprises and spot on with wedding music environment. Made my wedding! I was recommended to use DJ Dopegod and MNE events by a close friend and I have nothing but great reviews. Blown away by how the team went above and beyond to make my wedding day special. Affordable and listened to what the audience wanted to dance to. We had photobooth included, both an MC and a DJ, the videoagropher and photographer were a surprise bonus. As a bride the small things they did is what blew me away. As a gift to us they created a personalized back drop using our wedding theme, on our first dance they brought out the fog machine and it truly felt like we were dancing on clouds. Gary was able to make us laugh, happy cry, and dance the night away on one of our most special nights of our life. Lastly both Mr. Gary and Chris were positive and respectful.
