We worked with Carol Moore, and she was amazing. She was very easy to work with for all of the planning, and kept track of every detail. She got a good sense of what we liked and didn't like, and was super responsive. The night of our wedding, everything went perfectly. The dance floor was full from start to finish, and everyone had a great time. We received a lot of compliments on the music. It was perfect, and I'm really thrilled that we worked with Carol. I absolutely recommend her.

Carol was our DJ at our wedding two weeks ago and I am still hearing comments from our friends and family. Carol is not only kind, attentive and professional but she did a wonderful job incorporating many cultures into the music she played. Everyone was dancing and enjoying every minute of the reception.We also hired Beledo as our musician for both the ceremony and the cocktail hour and he was incredible! Booking "A Starry Night Music" was one of the best decisions we ever made and it ensured that our wedding was everything we had hoped for. Thanks to Carol and Beledo for helping to make our wedding day so special! -Veronica & Alex

Carol and her team are outstanding professionals, and were such a big part of creating a perfect day for us - Carol offers helpful suggestions throughout the entire planning and day of process, and works with you to gather insights and then fill in the blanks. This was so great considering we both work 60+ hours a week and did not have a wedding planner - there were things we wanted to influence but just didn't have the time - and Carol got us through it. Before our wedding with Belado, her guitar soloist, and during the wedding, Carol set the perfect tone and kept things moving in a fun, never-boring, but never rushed way - we continue to hear compliments about how fun things were.Carol also easily accomodated a number of soloists we had perform, as well helped us pick the perfect music for our diverse guests and musical tastes, including how and when to play certain songs.She's the best!

I wish there was an option for 10 STARS! My husband and I were married on June 18th. Beledo provided the most beautiful music for our ceremony and cocktail hour. He is extremely talented and provided an atmosphere of elegance and romance. Carol was the perfect DJ for our reception. She is kind, fun, organized, professional, not intrusive. I was worried that my 75 guests wouldn't be up for much dancing at 1pm on a Saturday afternoon, but I was wrong! Carol had everyone dancing and having a great time. My sister was married almost 10 years ago and Carol and Beledo provided the music for her wedding as well. I knew immediately I wanted to hire them for mine! From start to finish, my experience was flawless. I highly recommend A Starry Night!

Carol is a fantastic DJ - relaxed, easygoing, attentive, professional, with a love of music that's infectious. She truly seems to be having fun doing her job, and has an intuitive grasp of the mood in the room, switching effortlessly between slow- and fast-tempo songs depending on who is on the floor. Carol also listens to her clients, playing only things you tell her you like while adding suggestions based on her wide-ranging knowledge of domestic and international music. I enthusiastically recommend A Starry Night for any wedding, party, or festive event.

A Starry Night Music provided a wonderful experience for our wedding, from start to finish. They gave us world-class DJing and live music for a very reasonable price, and they made this important element of our event stress-free. I highly recommend them. Carol Moore was our DJ at the reception, and she also arranged instrumental music for our ceremony (the Joan Capra string ensemble) and cocktail hour (Beledo).Carol made planning the music for our wedding easy: she was always responsive, courteous, and patient with our many questions and ideas. Carol was a total professional. My husband and I never had to stress about the music, because we felt confident that Carol would take care of everything.Carol took our multicultural wedding music song requests and came up with a creative music playlist for our reception. At the wedding, Carol kept the reception running smoothly, and she spoke for just the right amount time, introducing speakers and dancers correctly. Carol's equipment was unobtrusive, which our photographer appreciated. Importantly for us, Carol, Beledo, and the musicians of the Joan Capra string ensemble were genuinely nice people that got along well with our guests and family, and we enjoyed having them be part of the wedding.

We couldn't have been happier with Gabriela! The dancefloor was packed all night. She had a real feel for our crowd. She played something for everyone so all of our guests felt like they were part of the party. But the music was just part of what Gabriela brought to our wedding. She helped us line up our bridal party for introductions and she answered pretty much anything we asked about what to expect on our big day. Her experience was really evident and it gave us BIG piece of mind! And she was fun to work with...very enthusiastic.We'd happily recommend Gabriela to anyone who's looking for a DJ for their wedding!

Dear Carol, I wanted to thank you for the fantastic job you did both leading up to and during our wedding. Everyone raved about the music and our friends would not stop dancing! The preparation leading up to our reception was so effortless and even fun! The way that you worked with our limited music knowledge was so helpful and we couldn't have done it without you. I thought we had known each other before we ever met! Please keep in touch. Jessica

Gabriela is fantastic. She was easy to work with, gave great suggestions and was able to read our guests throughout the evening. Sean was awesome during our ceremony and played the guitar beautifully. He even learned a few songs for us which was fantastic considering he only played for an hour. The company is great to work with and I'd highly recommend them to anyone.

Carol was a dream come true. I so did not want a guy with bad highlights & a shiny vest behind some obnoxious sign screaming at our guests and playing songs that make my head hurt. A Starry Night is the antithesis of that AND, even better, you don't lose the banging party. Carol DJed our wedding and people have not stopped commenting on how great the music was and how she did not waste any time in getting the party started. Carol knew instinctively the exact vibe I wanted and made it come true. As a former DJ and a (recovering) control freak, it felt so good to just not worry about the music piece, knowing it was safe in Carol's capable hands. Beledo played beautiful piano for our ceremony music and guitar during the cocktail hour, then Carol took over for the reception and it was all just perfect (even with a rocky transition or two that snuck in). I worked exclusively with Carol in planning the music piece of our event and it could not have gone more smoothly. She was so responsive, calming and caring. She was the vendor I really looked forward to calling or e-mailing. It was also great just having their positive, calming spirits involved for the planning and execution of the wedding.

This is a review for Joan Capra, violinist, who works with Carol Moore. My wedding was in the Conservatory Gardens, and was a small and intimiate affair. The gardens do not permit music except for strings. I decided to try a violinist for the elegance it would add to the event. And it worked well.I let Joan choose all the music except for the recessional, which I wanted to be 'our song' and she played that once I got the sheet music to her. I did not need a dj as we did not have a typical reception, so a violinist work perfect as it was all about the elegance. Joan and I had a few conversations beforehand and it was clear what I could expect. Joan was willing to work with whatever I needed. And it was apparent that on my wedding day the ambiance was just as important to her as it was to me. Thank you Joan!

Carol was great. We had a lot of trouble finding a DJ who we liked, because we had a slightly unusual reception (dancing was in a separate room and wasn't a priority to us, but we still wanted a DJ and not just music playing). We had a DJ flat out tell us that he didn't want to work at our wedding, and were delighted at how excited and enthusiastic and eager Carol was about our wedding plans, right from the first meeting!!I, like many brides, got a bit flustered and stressed pre-wedding, and my plans of carefully planning the music, including play and do not play lists, went out the window. But based on the sheets I filled out for her, she built great song lists that were just what I wanted, and included all of our "must play" songs perfectly. One of my guests told me that she played all of the music that they wanted at THEIR wedding last year.We had a specific list of pre ceremony songs we wanted, leading up the processional, and she mixed them together so they faded into each other, which was great, and then built the rest of the pre-ceremony music off of that playlist, so it flowed really well. Her system was wonderful, and the wireless mic we used for the ceremony picked everything up really well. Timing was really good, too, and she was flexible - I changed my processional song about three days before the wedding, after having it picked out for months, and I had meant to double check with her prior to the ceremony beginning to make sure it was good to go, but I didn't need to.Our wedding was a little unusual, because the reception was in three connected rooms, with guests sitting in two and dancing in a third. We also had a lot of interactive food (stations, cake buffet), so eating was a little more action based than it normally was, so we didn't get as much dancing as a normal wedding - maybe three or four songs of dancing after the cake cutting. BUT, we're not big dancers, our family and friends were too busy eating cake, so it wasn't a big deal. But what was impressive to me was how concerned Carol was that no one was dancing - which was completely NOT her fault, it's just that our guests are, well, people who would rather eat cake and drink a cup of coffee and talk to their aunt than hit the dance floor, especially if you had to walk there. She was genuinely concerned that we would be upset that no one was dancing, which I could care less about. We planned to get everyone on the dance floor for the song before the last dance, and then the last dance, and then it was over.So, basically, she was awesome. Her equipment was discrete and well placed, she has a wonderful voice for announcements, is very nice, very on top of everything and into details. She called me on Friday night because she couldn't find a specific version of a song we had requested, and was willing to get the CD overnighted to her so it could be at our wedding - thankfully, my husband simply had the MP3 and emailed it over to her. Most of all, she really does everything that she can to make sure that you have the perfect wedding. I would highly recommend her.

Carol was incredible, after one conversation with us she filled our wedding with the most best music we could have imagined, and found even hard-to-come-by recordings.She found wonderful music that spoke to our guests about who we are and what we wanted our wedding to be. Our family and friends noticed it because we are still receiving compliments about her.We cannot recommend her enough, or overstate how important she and Beledo were for the look and feel of our reception.

Carol DJ'd our wedding and I could not be happier with her performance. Our guests had such a great time at our wedding and are still raving about the music. We had a diverse group of guests at our wedding and Carol did an unbelievable job mixing different genres of music together so that everyone was able to dance and have a good time. Thanks again Carol for doing such a fabulous job!

Carol DJ'd our daytime wedding 3 weeks ago and was FANTASTIC from the first time I emailed her. She always got back to me immediately, or called to let me know when she would be able to talk in more detail. She took care of everything we asked for, she was fun and professional, complemented the ideas we came to her with for and offered suggestions in other departments. I had been worried that people might not dance as much since it was a daytime wedding, but, at several times during the day I looked out at the dance floor and couldn't believe how many of our guests were out there-even people who didn't know each other before that day were joining each other on the dance floor. She checked in with us during the reception to ensure that we were happy with everything, and the day was so much better because of her contributions.My husband and I keep saying we want to have another big party so we have an excuse to hire Carol again. I can't say enough good things about her.

We had Eric Lugo as our DJ and he did a fantastic job. He really felt the vibe of the crowd and played music accordingly. We are really happy with him.

My wife and I had the great fortune of having Carol Moore from A Starry Night as the DJ for our wedding; and from our initial meeting, up through our wedding day, Carol was a real pleasure to work with. She was very communicative throughout the process and allowed us to determine our song playlist, while offering valuable advice and suggestions, as well. I would highly recommend Carol and A Starry Night to DJ for any occasion.

Dan and I used Carol for our July 10th wedding and we were thrilled! From the first moment I contacted her at A Starry Night, I was so happy to find someone who listened and understood what we were looking for with our wedding music. We wanted someone who would play our music list and be able to make it work. (We are both somewhat picky with our music). And she really delivered! She always seemed to know instinctively what to play at every moment to rock the dance floor! The dance floor was packed all night! Also, she is really sweet and fun to work with throughout the whole process. Highly recommend!

Carol was AMAZING! She was everything we wanted for a wedding DJ - she is extremely professional, classy, and tasteful, but also knows how to keep people out on the dancefloor! We had a very random list of "must play" songs - running the spectrum from country music to hip hop and house, and Carol played everything we asked for, plus added in perfect songs that we hadn't thought of. We danced the entire night.Announcements were kept to a minimum, only the essentials, and were always elegant, keeping with the nature of the event, which is exactly what we wanted. We cannot say enough good things about our experience with this company - Carol was always responsive, always flexible, and just absolutely amazing.
