“We absolutely loved our experience with Karin from Stylus DJ. She was fun and had great suggestions, and our family and friends were so happy with the DJ-ing at our wedding. Stylus DJ was extremely easy to work with and I would definitely use them again if planning an event in the future.” -Rachel B. – The Knot & Google

“Simply put – Jane and Stylus DJ Entertainment and her musical artistry was one of the best parts of our wedding. It was an honor of a lifetime to work with this company and I will always – always – remember the music Jane and Stylus tailored for us and the art she made at our wedding, both spinning vinyl and digital DJ’ing. I am BIG BIG into music – a huge fan of 80-90s rock and an electric guitarist myself (aspiring :)) so when it came to finding an artist that truly could capture this love for music, my fiance and I were very very intentional.
The People: We picked Stylus in part because it is SO AWESOME that it is run by women – and inclusive of all people. AND it is run by a bad ass artist named Jane who is a musical genius on top of being a kind soul. Her and her staff care deeply about their work and the art they make. Collaboration: Jane was so intentional in our planning process in incorporating our musical perspective and opinions as we built playlists on playlists together for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception – shifting between genres and vibes. Simultaneously, I will say however, we could just simply give her a vibe like Goo Goo Dolls and Hootie & the Blowfish and she could create a welcome playlist that seemed to read our minds – deeply resonating with me and the songs I cherished from my family and childhood without me even having to list them for her. I still listen to this playlist at work and on runs because it so resonated with me.
Art Form: Jane did it ALL, spinning vinyl, MC’ing, and digital DJ’ing. She spun vinyl for our colorful vinyl cocktail hour bringing her own cherished vinyl records to the wedding. The vinyl cocktail hour was a deep tribute to 80s rock/pop. To find someone who cared more for 80s rock/pop than I did I didn’t think was possible – until I met Jane. She curated a cocktail hour that had our guests reminiscing on their past shouting “I LOVE ZEPPELIN.” She spun surrounded by my paintings, and it was just art surrounded by art. She also MC’d our wedding in the most graceful and loving fashion, seamlessly transitioning us between dances and toasts. She ended the night digital DJ’ing the dance portion of our reception incorporating both my and my fiance’s wide range of tastes from Rufus Du Sol to Marc Anthony.
As I said – Jane and her staff are musical geniuses and so well versed in all genres. I know this because I got to see Jane work and I got to see her colleague work at my sister’s wedding too. I can not recommend this company enough. If you appreciate art and music is of the utmost importance to you – what you will find at Stylus is a community of musicians that mirror your passion and amplify it. Thank you Jane – for the soundtrack of a lifetime. Forever forever grateful.” -Carly H. –Wedding Wire, The Knot & Yelp

“When we started planning our July 2023 wedding, we knew we were setting the bar high for DJ entertainment. My husband LOVES music, and we love entertaining. We wanted a DJ that wouldn’t just play the cookie-cutter variety wedding music that everyone has heard so many times before.
Working with Jane ahead of time, she was able to answer all of our logistical questions, and get us set up with Karin, our DJ.
Karin took the time to Zoom with us prior to the wedding day, answered all of our questions, went through everything from the timeline of the day, to milestones, musical preferences, etc. She paired her professional expertise and opinion with our vision, and we truly could not be happier with how everything turned out! She was so friendly and always looking out for what was best for us as the bride and groom. 5 stars aren’t enough for Karin and Jane!! Thank you for everything!”-Nicole C. -Google

“Going into the wedding planning process, I had the most anxiety about finding a vendor who was the right “fit” for our music. I knew DJ Jen was that person during our first meeting when I described that I wanted our reception to feel like the end of the night in someone’s backyard after a house party, when someone puts on just the right playlist & it ends up with the whole group pushing the furniture out of the way so dancing can commence (preferably barefoot). As I was describing this, Jen started smiling & nodding along & I knew we had found who we were looking for.
Any communication over the year leading up to the wedding was prompt, organized & thorough. Jen was able to get a feel for who we genuinely are as a couple & the ~vibe~ we wanted for our wedding & the music played throughout the day reflected who we are perfectly! The very best memories of our day are the best because of the role Jen was playing in them – can’t recommend highly enough!” -Rebecca U. –Wedding Wire, The Knot, Yelp & Google

“I have nothing but amazing things to say about DJ Mariko! From the start of planning she really took the time to understand us as a couple and our music needs; as well as, providing knowledge and guidance in making the best decisions for our wedding. Our wedding day was so much fun, DJ Mariko really picked up off the vibe of the crowd and really got the party going. I can’t count how many people came up to us and said how much fun they had and how great Mariko Dj’d. I would highly recommend DJ Mariko for anyone’s wedding; it will feel very personal to your wedding and everyone will leave having a great time!” -Christina W. –Wedding Wire, The Knot & Google

“Thank you Stylus for helping us have the most amazing wedding experience. DJ Jen was awesome and kept our guests dancing all night. It was such a pleasure working with her! DJ Jen’s communication, professionalism, and expertise was everything we could have hoped for (and more!)
Also thank you Jane for helping with all the logistics prior to our big day. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience – highly recommend working with this team!”-Matthew J. -Google

“We had a fantastic experience working with Stylus as well as DJ Mariko. We initially picked her because she has many reviews raving about her DJing, and then had the good fortune of (unintentionally) seeing her DJ at a local venue before our wedding and danced that night away.
Our wedding followed suit – everyone was blown away by the music, and we had a packed dance floor throughout the entire night. To quote one of the many friends that texted me about the DJ: “we haven’t had that much fun on a dance floor in AGES – it was the perfect combo of 90s/2000s classics and latin hits”.
DJ Mariko’s attention to detail is unparalleled and surely contributes to her excellence. We had a thoughtful questionnaire sent to us prior to the event which insightfully asked about many of the wedding logistics and song preferences, and then throughout the night she sent over trusted friends (e.g. sister, maid of honor) to check in with us about the way things were going, any song requests, et cetera.
It was the cherry on top of the (wedding) cake that DJ Mariko was an absolute pleasure to talk to, both over email and in-person. She is kind and made us feel cared about throughout our day!
In summary: DJ Mariko is absolutely everything her numerous 5-star reviews make her out to be. We enthusiastically recommend you hire her for your wedding or special event!
P.S. Stylus Entertainment was also an absolute pleasure to work with, particularly Jane. Good vibes all around!” -Gaby M. –Wedding Wire, The Knot & Google

“Karin was exceptional! She listened to the type of music we wanted and went above and beyond to create a fun vibe with lots of variety. The dance floor was full the whole night. She also worked seamlessly with our band that we had (a traditional klezmer band for our hora). Karin was also friendly, professional, and so fun to work with!! Highly recommend.”-Hannah S. -Google

“Working with DJ Karin to plan the music for our wedding was incredibly fun. She’s not only a wonderful person but also has impeccable music taste and can make any dance floor stay busy all night long. Friends and family all mentioned how memorable the music was in both the cocktail hour and the wedding.
She’s truly a gem and if you’re able to book her for your wedding you shouldn’t think about it one second longer!”-Daniel S. -Google
