We had our wedding on August 29th, 2025….. The Masters of The Ceremony lived up to and beyond their name!! The vibe they set for the reception was amazing! The ceremony music was on point and exactly how my wife and I envisioned! Adolphus even did a little mix for me that i needed for my entrance song!! TMOTC were very easy to work with and contact! Questions were answered abruptly and professionally. The final “talk through” for our wedding day music was very smooth and communication was clear and concise. Honestly, i don’t think we could have hired a better company to service our wedding day! They are just awesome and we received numerous compliments on the DJ, all in which were forwarded to TMOTC! The day was just memorable as any day I’ve ever had and TMOTC gave it their all to make it that way. The audio guestbook was amazing as well as dancing on the clouds. We let our DJ (Adolphus) pretty much use his professional judgment on what to play to keep the reception as enjoyable for all ages as possible, long story short, he did NOT disappoint! Overall experience with The Matters of the Ceremony 100/100!! One of One!!! Best in the area for sure! You will not be disappointed. Thank you TMOTC for such a magical night!

As a fellow wedding professional it is always refreshing when you get the opportunity to work with other vendors whose values, customer service and professionalism is evident by the manner in which they execute their services. This is exactly what I experienced with the TMOTC's team. Wood and Kenan were professional but very personable and engaging. My clients were extremely pleased with their services ( Dj, Cold Sparklers & Dancing on the Cloud) as the Bride commented that her wedding day was perfect. Thank you to Adolphus and his amazing team for playing such an important role in the overall experience for the clients and guests!

We are still riding the high from our wedding, and a huge part of that is thanks to The Masters of Ceremony! From start to finish, they brought the energy, kept the vibes just right, and absolutely nailed the music selections all night long. They knew exactly how to read the room and keep the party moving every single song felt like a perfect choice. Our guests were on the dance floor nonstop, and so many people told us how much they loved the music and the overall atmosphere TMOC helped create. Their presence, professionalism, and ability to hype the crowd made the entire night unforgettable. We also had their audio guest book, which was such a unique and fun touch our guests loved leaving messages and it's something we’ll cherish forever. And let’s talk about the “dancing on the clouds” effect for our first dance… absolutely magical! It felt like a fairytale moment and looked incredible in photos and video! If we could do it all over again, we’d choose TMOC 10 times over. If you're looking for a DJ/MC who will turn your event into an experience to remember, look no further they are the ones!

A Celebration of Love and Inclusion As a same-sex couple, finding vendors who genuinely celebrate inclusivity and diversity was paramount to us. From our very first conversation with Adolphus and Kaila, we felt a deep sense of reassurance that The Masters of the Ceremony was not just another vendor. They were true allies. They made us feel seen, cherished, and embraced, not merely as clients, but as partners embarking on this incredible journey together. Seeing same-sex couples featured in their presentation during our consultation was both refreshing and deeply affirming. The planning process was a breeze, thanks to their thoughtfully designed app. It allowed us to curate a playlist that truly represented our story, a beautiful blend of classic disco anthems and modern pop favorites. This tool gave us the freedom to focus on the joy of planning rather than stressing over the details, ensuring everything reflected our unique love. On our wedding day, DJ Linwood was an absolute gem. Not only was he an exceptional DJ, but his warm, intuitive approach created a dance floor where everyone, from our lifelong friends to our chosen family, felt celebrated and included. The energy was electric, and our guests couldn’t stop raving about how joyous and inviting the atmosphere was. We also chose the audio guestbook and cold sparkler exit, and both were unforgettable highlights. Listening to the heartfelt messages from our loved ones in the days after has been a touching reminder of the love that surrounded us. If you’re looking for a team that will honor and celebrate you for who you are, while creating memories that you’ll treasure forever, look no further than The Masters of the Ceremony. They didn’t just help us plan a wedding. They gave us a celebration that felt like a true reflection of our love and community, a day we’ll hold close to our hearts forever.

Working with The Masters of the Ceremony was a 5-star experience from start to finish! My (now) wife and I initially reached out to Adolphus about ten months before our wedding, at which point he promptly set up a meeting to answer all our questions and provide a detailed breakdown of services and pricing. He also discussed the music selection process and how to use the company’s app (which was super easy) to create a playlist that could effortlessly be tailored to our preferences and tastes. The app was also a valuable organizational tool and helped us piece together our timeline for the ceremony and reception. Our DJ was Juan, and he absolutely killed it during our wedding! We first met with him virtually the week of to go over our playlist and timeline and to ensure that the songs we’d uploaded to the app were the versions he’d be playing during the ceremony/reception. His DJ skills and professionalism were apparent from the time he showed up at the venue (well before any of the guests arrived) to set up, embodying nothing but calm energy to counteract the natural stress of the day. He could flawlessly read the room during the reception and push and pull the energy as needed when the dance floor opened up to our guests. Several guests later told us that our wedding was super fun, all thanks to DJ Juan and the rest of the team. As an unexpected bonus, the company threw in an added feature—a phone that recorded our guests’ messages to us at no additional cost! All in all, my wife and I are beyond impressed with TMOTC and would 100% recommend that you book them for your event!
