VIBE SPECIALIST
Hi! I’m Matthew Reate, a wedding private event DJ for the NYC region.
For years, I’ve made creating unforgettable celebrations my passion. I specialize in reading the room and crafting the perfect soundtrack for your special day.
Nothing excites me more than getting to know my clients music taste, understanding their unique style, and making sure thier family and friends all hit the dance floor.
Contact me, and let’s talk about how I can make your wedding one to remember.
a DJ For music nerds
If you’re getting married in or around NYC and nerd out over music as much as I do, we might just be a match made in heaven. I’m all about crafting playlists that actually make you and your guests want to dance, mixing killer tracks I know work with your favorite tunes, all while keeping the mic talk to a absolute minimum. My couples tend to want a wedding soundtrack that doesn’t suck, putting quality vibes and atmosphere over cheesy wedding standards. Let’s team up and make sure your wedding sounds as amazing as it should.
MUSIC FOCUSED
Just the essentials, no fluff. I make the necessary announcements and get right back to the beat. My focus is on keeping the vibe alive, not on the microphone. If you need 5 announcements, you'll hear 5 announcements, and thats about it.
PROFFESIONAL
Breaking away from the corny wedding DJ mold of the past, I bring a fresh spin to your special day. Expect smart attire, top gear without logos or company names, clean presentation, and just cool beats that'll keep your guests grooving.
YOUR VIBE
Your music taste, my skills. I mix tracks that resonate with your vibe, ensuring every song hits the right note. It’s your style, your vibe, with perfect sound. I’m not a club DJ, not a festival DJ, and definitely not a strip club DJ. I’m a wedding DJ, and that’s a very particular type of audience. Let’s team up and make sure your wedding sounds as awesome as it should.
