Nico was amazing! We're huge believer's that the DJ makes the wedding and can turn it from a fun wedding to the best wedding you've ever been to.
Nico helped make our wedding the...
best wedding. 10/10 would recommend and was very happy with both Meritage and Nico!
The number one question we got from our wedding was, "where did you find your DJ?" -- we could not have asked for a better experience with Meritage - they handled everything we nee...
ded and did it expertly. Evan is incredible and the dance floor was absolutely packed all night. He also handled mics and music for the ceremony, which was a huge help and something we did not have to think about at all. We would hire Evan again in a heartbeat and recommend him and Meritage to everyone we know. It is so reassuring to know that there is a group involved, as well, so if an emergency comes up, then someone would be able to fill in.
My husband and I hired Meritage DJ for our wedding and it was such an easy decision. We wanted a team that had experience and would help us with our vision for the day. We wanted o...
ur cocktail hour and dinner to have a certain vibe that fit the venue with some old timey swing and jazz music and then our time on the dance floor would bring the party. I heard so many compliments from our guests about how much they loved the music selection during cocktail hour. It made us happy to hear how much our guests were enjoying it too. We hired Evan as our DJ. He did a fantastic job from start to finish. He made introductions, announcements, and speeches a breeze. The volume of the music was also perfect. I have been to some weddings where DJs are not aware it seems of truly how unenjoyable a night can become when you can’t hear anyone speak (even when they are screaming in your ear). This was NOT the case with Meritage DJ. They are professionals and experts in every sense of the word. They can really read the room and they know that a wedding isn’t a rave (unless of course you want it to be - then I’m sure they could accommodate).
We had happy guests the whole night! And my husband and I were also incredibly happy. I’d pick Meritage DJ again in a heartbeat. We had an absolutely wonderful experience with them! They are so on top of it all!
Working with Evan and the Meritage team for our wedding was an amazing experience from start to finish. Evan brought the perfect energy to the night and read the crowd effortlessly...
, playing exactly what we needed to keep the dance floor going. Their communication platform made planning simple, with all our conversations in one place and just the right number of check-ins to keep us on track without ever feeling overwhelmed. We would choose Meritage again for any DJ needs in a heartbeat.
Evan Healey was phenomenal to work with on our wedding day! The dance floor was full the entire evening. I kept trying to escape the dance floor to rest and drink water, but he kep...
t pulling banger after banger. My husband and I are both musicians, and we were impressed by Evan's surprising and seamless transitions - especially because we threw some oddball requests at him. Highly recommend him to any couple who loves to dance all night long!

We had an incredible experience with Meritage Entertainment, especially DJ Cam, at our wedding. From start to finish, their professionalism and organization stood out. They were at...
tentive to every detail and made sure our preferences were heard and executed perfectly.
DJ Cam brought an amazing energy to the night—his talent for reading the crowd and keeping everyone on the dance floor was impressive. He knew exactly how to keep the momentum going, and our guests are still talking about how much fun they had.
What really set them apart was how easy they were to work with. They were responsive, accommodating, and genuinely invested in making our day special. Our wedding would not have been the same without them.
We highly recommend Meritage Entertainment and DJ Cam to anyone looking for a seamless, fun, and memorable event.
Andrew (DJ Tumi) was an absolutely amazing DJ for our wedding. We couldn’t have asked for anyone better! He knew how to keep people on the dance floor all night long from our grand...
parents to our college friends. Everyone was raving about how the music was perfect all night long. We will be recommending him to everyone we know!!
Christian was awesome and followed through with all of our requests!!
We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ for our New Year’s Eve wedding! We had DJ TUMI and he CRUSHED it. He perfectly captured the vibe we wanted, kept the dance floor packed all n...
ight, and somehow managed to appeal to every age group in the room. The transitions were seamless, the timing was spot-on, and the energy never dropped!!!
He read the crowd effortlessly and adjusted the music to keep the celebration going strong right through midnight & long after!
The New Year’s countdown was perfect—the timing, the hype, everything—and the song he chose for midnight was so perfectly curated it felt like a movie! On top of all that, he was professional, easy to work with, and just totally nailed the vibe we were hoping for. THANK YOU!!!
Rob from Meritage was absolutely incredible to work with. From the very first intro call, we could tell he truly cared about making sure our music taste came through and that the n...
ight felt authentically us. He listened, understood our vibe immediately, and executed it flawlessly. Our dance floor was amazing all night long, and every single song reflected who we are and what we love. We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ experience, and I truly cannot recommend Rob enough!
Cam was literally the best DJ ever and I’m so thankful I trusted him! He just knew the vibe of the Reception and crowd at all times and no one left the dance floor all night.
The ...
transitions from different songs/genres to the next were unreal and flowed seamlessly. He knew exactly what to play and when and had such a great mix of songs with little guidance given. What I really loved was that he went outside of the traditional practice of always playing a slow song which tends to get people off the dance floor. We skipped that and it was the best; just happy good vibes all night. We are still getting compliments about how amazing our DJ was. Cannot recommend him enough! 12/10
Evan was the absolute best! He was our venue’s preferred vendor for a reason. From the moment the reception started, he completely understood the vibe we wanted. He took all of our...
requests, blended them perfectly, and knew exactly how to read the crowd. The dance floor was packed the entire night which is exactly what we wanted! So many of our guests commented on how amazing the music was and how much fun they had. 10/10 recommend Evan!!!
After we heard DJ James at two of our friends weddings, he was our first choice when the time came to book our own wedding DJ. He did an amazing job with everything from the ceremo...

h fun. From our very first conversation, they were incredibly easy to work with, organized, responsive, and truly invested in understanding the exact vibe we wanted.
They took every detail we shared and turned it into the perfect soundtrack for the best night of our lives. The transitions were flawless, the energy was nonstop, and the way they read the room was on another level. So many of our guests came up to us to rave about the DJ, and even weeks later people are still talking about how fun the dance floor was. Gotta say, they were a huge reason our wedding was as incredible as it was.

We have never seen so many of our friends and family dancing and they are all still raving about how amazing the music was. We cannot recommend working with Meritage and Evan enough, they are truly great at what they do!
All their testimonials about the dance floor being packed all night with the best set list was absolutely true. We understood why Meritage Entertainment was a preferred vendor from...
our venue! DJ Greg was great and easy to work with. He went over our questionnaire with us and knew exactly what we needed/wanted. He played bop after bop. Our guests were telling us for a month straight after the wedding how amazing the DJ was and how they almost wished he didn't play a good song so that they could grab a drink of water. Needless to say, he helped make our wedding the party we wanted it to be and one of the best weddings our guests have been to! It certainly was one of the best dance floors we've been on!
Our wedding was 10.18.25 and DJ Greg made it the most memorable night!! Over a month later and I am still hearing from our guest that he was the best DJ and it was the most fun wed...
ding they have ever been to! Our ceremony was outdoors, and DJ Greg made sure all of the mics and speakers were all set. He gave us such piece of mind to know we could count on everyone being able to hear our vows. My husband and I like a wide range of music, and DJ Greg was able to keep everyone on their feet the entire night!! Our wedding will forever be one of the best nights of our lives and we are so happy we chose DJ Greg to be a part of it!

Before our wedding, Evan met with us to review everything we wanted and was really receptive to the overall vibe we were trying to have. He kept everyone on the dance floor all night and we couldn't picture having anyone better for our DJ! I would highly recommend Meritage & Evan for anyone who is looking for a great DJ!
We had DJ Evan Healey from Meritage Entertainment for our wedding on October 18, 2025, and we truly could not have asked for a better experience. From our very first conversation, ...
Evan was an absolute pleasure to work with — professional, attentive, and genuinely invested in making sure our day felt like us. He took the time to really get to know our taste in music, our vibe as a couple, and the kind of energy we wanted throughout the night, and he absolutely nailed it.
Evan made the entire process so easy and enjoyable. He helped us think through details we hadn’t even considered, offered amazing suggestions, and was incredibly responsive every step of the way. You can tell he not only knows his craft inside and out but also loves what he does — and that energy shines through in every interaction.
When it came to the big day, Evan delivered perfection. Every moment — from the ceremony to cocktail hour to the reception — flowed seamlessly. The music was perfectly curated and timed, setting the tone for each part of the day. Our dance floor was full all night long — truly, people never left it! He struck the perfect balance between our must-play songs and reading the crowd, blending everything effortlessly to keep the energy high and the fun nonstop.
Guests were raving about how amazing the music was, and we’ve had so many people tell us it was one of the most fun weddings they’ve ever attended. Evan’s ability to mix songs, sense the mood, and keep everyone engaged is a real talent. On top of that, his friendly and calm demeanor made everything feel so easy — we never once had to worry about a thing.
We can’t thank Evan and the entire Meritage Entertainment team enough for helping make our wedding day truly unforgettable. It was everything we hoped for and more — a perfect celebration filled with laughter, love, and nonstop dancing. If you’re looking for a DJ who genuinely cares, listens, and knows how to create the perfect atmosphere, Evan Healey is your guy.
Evan from Meritage was amazing! Our guests didn't leave the dance floor. With only a handful of recommendations, he understood our vibe and played exactly what we were looking for....
He also helped set up mics for the ceremony and made introductions without a hitch. Would highly recommend!
We had DJ Cam Viola as our wedding DJ, and he absolutely CRUSHED IT. We had him for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. He was great working with my husband and our officia...
nt to ensure the sound was clear, and every single song that was played was a banger. We wanted a funky, r&b, reggaeton, disco, and hip-hop vibe. From the instrumentals he played as guests were being seated, to the songs he played at dinner, to the dance floor… we could not be happier! One of our biggest compliments of the day was the music. He even had the older folks dancing to Burna Boy and Fatman Scoop! 1000/10 recommend.
Hiring Andrew aka DJ Tumi was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding!!! He kept our dance floor absolutely PACKED the entire night, we even got almost every single guest...
to get into a reception wide conga line. His transitions were spot on into the next songs that guests were excited to hear what banger he was going to play next. He incorporated our must play songs in the most fun ways! He was a gem and we just had such a blast dancing the night away. Thank you DJ Tumi, you killed it!

Nick Anson as our DJ. He was the BEST!! He was not only extremely personable and kind to us, but you can tell that he truly enjoys what he does. Throughout the night, he checked in to make sure everything was running smoothly. Our guests were on the dance floor all night. I couldn’t recommended using Nick/Meritage enough!
We hired Meritage for our wedding on 9/25/25, and we had Evan as our DJ. I can honestly say I've never danced more in one night in my entire life. I had THE best day of my life, an...
d Evan only made it better! He was able to get everyone out on the dance floor, singing, dancing and raging together! We are so thankful we went with Meritage for our wedding, knowing that no other company, or DJ, could do what they did for us and make our night any more fantastic. Thank you Meritage!!
Last night, we had the absolute pleasure of having one of Meritage’s finest, Cam Ruwicki, DJ our wedding. From start to to finish, Meritage and Cam were absolutely incredible to wo...
rk with and I would recommend them over and over again.
James and Rob, the owners of Meritage, are running an extremely professional and smooth operation. They are the able to recommend which DJ of theirs would fit best with what we were looking for and they were spot on. Cam had everyone, young and old, on the dance floor the entire night. Maybe I’m biased, but my fiance and I had the best time we’ve ever had on a dance floor. It felt like Cam truly understood and was able to balance what we were looking for and what the crowded needed.
Thank you to Cam and Meritage for making our wedding the best night of our lives!
One of our major debates in wedding planning was to do a band of DJ - thankfully we found Meritage after attending a cousin’s wedding where the party NEVER stopped. We knew that wa...
s what we wanted and DJ Evan executed that flawlessly. Without giving too much direction other than to keep it lively, speak to all ages and keep the dance floor packed, DJ Evan kept the energy high from the first song to the very last. He also made our ceremony and cocktail hour flow seamlessly with the perfect music choices. Our guests can’t stop raving about how awesome our DJ was and we are so grateful for how much fun everyone had, including us!! We also did the photobooth which was a hit and provided lots of fun memories & laughs for all. Highly recommend adding in the uplighting too - you don’t realize how much it adds to the party!! We cannot wait to recommend Meritage to everyone we possibly can.

Cam was personable, professional, and so much fun—he kept the dance floor packed all night and created the perfect atmosphere for our celebration. We had an absolute blast, and so did our guests. If you’re looking for a DJ who will make your wedding unforgettable, Meritage is the way to go!

From the moment he arrived, Cam was attentive—making sure we and our officiant were set for the ceremony. He handled music for the cocktail hour, intros, and reception seamlessly, and the energy he brought through the mic was awesome. The dance floor was packed all night, and our guests are still raving about how much fun they had and how memorable he made the night. Cam was a pleasure to work with—professional, easygoing, and completely in tune with what we wanted. We couldn’t recommend him more!
Andrew and the Meritage team met, and exceeded, our expectations. Before the wedding, they were very helpful in the process leading up to the big day. They made sure to make every ...
detail we asked for come to light and worked in a relaxed, yet professional, way that made the whole process feel so comfortable.
The day of the wedding was perfect. I’ve been to so many weddings that had a lot of technical difficulties but the music, microphones, and everything DJ related went perfectly.
The dance floor was everything we dreamed of. Our goal was to keep the dance floor packed and Andrew kept the floor packed as promised. I had friends and family members approach me about the dj to say how great he was. His transitions between songs were flawless and he played music that fit all crows so everyone was entertained
We had Greg for our wedding last weekend and it was everything we hoped for. He was helpful in sorting out final music choices when we needed inspiration and covered everything we ...
were looking for over the course of the night. And, as promised, he helped keep the dance floor full and made for an amazing party we will never forget.
I am so happy to write a review about Meritage Entertainment. My brother and sister in law highly recommended using Rob like they did for their wedding. Rob did an amazing job for ...
their wedding and I knew I had to book him as well.
Rob was one of the first vendors I booked and I am so glad I did!
Rob and his team were SO responsive, organized and kind the entire time. He got back to us so fast with any questions we may have.
Leading up to the event, Rob and his team would send us helpful checklist reminders that made our lives so much easier.
Rob even remixed a fun father daughter dance for me that everybody loved!!
He also met with my husband and I the week of our wedding. Rob listened to our requests, went over how to pronounce everybody’s name and the day of plan.
Our family and friends can’t stop talking about the music. They were on the dance floor the entire night!
Rob is a remarkable DJ who knows how to bring the best music, entertainment and energy to your wedding day!!
I highly recommend Rob and Meritage Entertainment to everybody! Thank you again!!
We are so incredibly thankful for Andrew Tuminelli and everyone at Meritage Entertainment for making our wedding night truly unforgettable. From start to finish, Andrew went above ...
and beyond, especially when we had to shift our ceremony locations due to unexpected weather. He handled everything seamlessly.
We gave Andrew a general idea of the kind of music we liked but trusted him to bring his own artistic flair…and wow, did he deliver. Multiple guests told us he was the best wedding DJ they’ve ever experienced! Our venue had an outdoor patio with cozy fire pits, and we were a little nervous that people would drift outside as the night progressed. But thanks to Andrew, the dance floor was packed from the first song to the last.
He transitioned perfectly between speeches, dinner, and dancing, making the entire evening feel effortless and fun. We are beyond grateful to Andrew for helping create such an energetic, joyful celebration.
