The City

New York rooms ask more of a DJ

A Fifth Avenue ballroom, a pre-Civil War Brooklyn warehouse, a rooftop with the skyline for a backdrop — New York City weddings happen in some of the most demanding rooms in the country, and each one changes how the music has to work. Sound that fills a landmark ballroom without fighting its marble. A rooftop set that respects the building’s sound rules and still moves the floor. A load-in that fits a Manhattan venue’s window to the minute.

Genesis has curated wedding entertainment from our Flatiron office at 22 West 21st Street since 2008. We know the city’s rooms, their house rules and their sound, and we bring the same open-format DJs, bilingual MCs and live musicians to a 60-guest loft as to a 500-guest ballroom.

Your Day, Curated

One DJ, every moment of your New York wedding

From the processional to the send-off, every transition is planned and every room is tuned.

Ceremony

Clean processional sound, mic'd vows and music timed to the moment — indoors, on a terrace, or on a rooftop.

Cocktail Hour

Elegant open-format sets as the skyline lights up — or layered live with saxophone and strings.

Reception

Read-the-room sets that build the night, with production scaled to the room and its rules.

The Send-Off

A last dance that lands, timed to the venue's clock — and an exit your guests remember.

The Experience

Sound that knows the room

Every New York venue has its own acoustics, its own load-in window and its own sound policy. We plan for all three before the day: a site visit or venue call, a sound design sized to the room, and a timeline built with your planner and the venue’s team.

On the night, your DJ works from that plan with a host and, if you choose, live musicians — so a Manhattan ballroom, a Brooklyn loft and a Queens rooftop each get the set they deserve.

Planning & Investment

What a wedding DJ costs in New York City

Pricing is quoted to your celebration, not sold off a shelf. A professional wedding DJ is the foundation, and many New York couples build from there with a bilingual MC, live cocktail-hour musicians, ceremony sound and lighting design scaled to the room.

Because every element is optional and every venue is different, the most useful next step is a tailored quote. Tell us your date, your venue and your guest count.

We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ and MC for our wedding! They were so easy to work with and made the entire process stress-free. We loved being able to customize our playlist and have the music reflect our style and vision for the day. They did an amazing job reading the room, keeping the energy just right, and making sure everyone had a great time on the dance floor. As our MC, they kept everything flowing smoothly and helped make the entire evening feel seamless. They truly played a huge part in making our wedding so special and memorable. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a DJ and MC who are professional, accommodating, and know how to keep the party going!

We hired Damian and Genesis for our wedding, and they truly went above and beyond with all the bells and whistles! From our perfect GRAND ENTRANCE, they made every guest feel like a superstar. Everyone got to walk the red carpet and have their picture taken, and the photos made such a fun favor for everyone to take home. The vinyl photos of us on the doors were AMAZING, and the smoke machine for our first dance, along with our names shining on the dance floor, made every moment feel so special. Every little detail was perfect. And then there’s Damian! His attention to detail, professionalism, and that cute smile made everything even better. 😂 He made sure everything ran smoothly and helped make our wedding day absolutely perfect. I was so impressed that I recommended Damian to friends who were getting married at the same venue, Sand Castle — and he was just as spectacular! Damian emceed their wedding, and the energy, music, and entertainment had everyone on the dance floor ALL NIGHT. If you’re looking for someone who will make your event unforgettable and truly treat your guests like stars, I highly recommend Damian and Genesis! You will not be disappointed! ❤️

Genesis Events was the ABSOLUTE BEST for our wedding at the Ravel Hotel! Damian was our MC and Yianni was our DJ, and they were both incredible. The team was so easy to work with. They set up calls, answered every question without hesitation, and used everything we put into the app. They exceeded our expectations in every way! No one sat down the entire wedding, and we are still hearing from guests about how amazing the music was! We couldn’t recommend Genesis Events more! All our love, Gia and Stephen

We cannot say enough amazing things about Genesis Events!! We had our wedding last night, and the music was absolutely INCREDIBLE! From start to finish, everything was exactly what we wanted and more. The dance floor was packed, and we had so many guests coming up to us throughout the night telling us how much they loved the music! DJ Ikonic was AMAZING! He knew exactly what to play to keep everyone dancing and the energy going all night long! MC Joseph was AWESOME too! He brought such great energy and made the entire night so much fun! A special thank you to Angelina for making the entire planning process so easy and stress-free! She listened to every little thing I had to say, answered all my questions, and truly made sure everything was exactly how we wanted it. I appreciated that more than she knows! The entire team truly went above and beyond to make our wedding night unforgettable. We couldn’t have asked for a better team, and we are so grateful! Thank you, Genesis Events, for making our wedding the BEST NIGHT EVER!! ❤️

We used Genesis for some rentals for our wedding and could not have been happier! The stage was perfect and the band said it was amazing!! We were super happy with everything and you made the experience seamless and were so easy to work with. Thanks for all your help and hopefully we can work together again in the future on another occasion.

Good to Know

New York City — FAQs

Do you DJ weddings across all of New York City?

Yes — Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens most often, plus the Bronx and Staten Island, Westchester and the tri-state area. Our office is in Flatiron and most of our weddings are within an hour of it.

Do you know our venue?

Very likely. We have played many of the city’s landmark rooms — see the venue pages for the rooms we know best — and for a venue new to us we arrange a call or site visit in advance to plan sound, load-in and timeline with their team.

What about rooftop or terrace sound limits?

Many New York venues have sound policies and end times, especially outdoors. We design the sound to the venue’s rules and the room’s size so the floor stays full without a complaint from the building.

Can the DJ perform with a bilingual MC or live musicians?

Yes. Most Genesis weddings pair the DJ with a dedicated host, and many add live saxophone, percussion or strings over the set — one team on one timeline.

How far in advance should we book a NYC wedding DJ?

For peak-season Saturdays we recommend booking nine to twelve months ahead, as prime dates are reserved early.

How much does a wedding DJ cost in NYC?

Pricing is customized to your celebration — date, guest count, venue and the elements you add. The best next step is a tailored quote.
