Kim’s goal is to provide every event with impeccable personalized DJ services, free of any corny gimmicks or annoying banter. The No Macarena team make it all about the music and strive to keep the dance floor full all night long. The No Macarena DJs will assist you in crafting the perfect playlist for your one-of-a-kind occasion with quality, professional DJ audio to ensure that every moment sounds incredible.

1000000/10 Amazing

Sarah and Chris were INCREDIBLE. They had an easy but detailed form to fill out to make planning super simple and straightforward. They were very responsive and checked in often through and calls and emails leading up to our wedding. There were a lot of questions that we didn’t have answers to that they took care of, and were super knowledgeable about every single step.

At the wedding, they were not only amazing DJs who kept the crowd dancing all night, but they also provided live acoustic music throughout the ceremony and cocktail hour. Chris emceed the entire event flawlessly. He hyped up the crowd leading up to every announcement and was accommodating and supportive when we asked for last minute changes.

Finally, they checked in after our day and sent us beautiful photos from the DJ booth. I had a completely stress free event thanks to them, and I would recommend them to literally anyone for their day.

Awesome experience !

We had a great experience with No Macarena. We used them for ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, and a photobooth!. They have a shared document that makes it easy to communicate all of your song preferences, speeches to announce, etc. Our DJ Alex was awesome! We told him we wanted a very "dancy" wedding and the dance floor was going the whole night. He also communicated with us throughout the night about certain things. Our photobooth was a hit and our photobooth attendant, Lawrence was very professional and friendly. Could not recommend No Macarena enough!

Professional, Friendly, High-Quality

DJ Rod and No Macarena deserve more than just a 5 out of 5 review. Quickly, for No Macarena they are exactly what they advertise. They allow you to take complete control of the playlists for all parts of your wedding, if you want, and they did no line-dancing or anything specific that we did not want. We liked No Macarena for the originality and freedom offered, and that is exactly what we got.

Regarding DJ Rod, as a couple who stresses professionalism and friendliness most of all, especially for our wedding, DJ Rod was perfect. He was friendly to speak and work with. He handled set-up and our requests with respect but also an eager attitude like he WANTED to do it. He was an absolute pleasure. It felt like he was on standby for our few specific song requests, and we gave him creative freedom for the dancing portion of the night and his song choices were great! Everyone who wanted to dance was dancing and very much enjoyed themselves.

As stated at the top, DJ Rod deserves more than just a 5 out of 5 rating.

"No Macarena" DJ & Custom Music Service is the best in the business. While other DJs play a canned playlist that's the same at every wedding (I should know, since I shoot one nearly every weekend,) No Macarena's set list is completely custom, and completely planned by you. This gives every party that No Macarena hosts it's own uniquely crafted identity, which is a great thing to say about a DJ. Not only that, their hosts are unobtrusive yet remain "in charge" during those key moments when the party needs some structure. Highly recommended!!!

We have worked with Kim at No Macarena for years and she is the best! She has great insight and knowledge of music and knows just what songs to play to make an event perfect. Kim is not only a true professional, but she's really cool, too!
