DJ Marcus Ho - New York, New York

John & Ha-young

Marcus was an amazing DJ and helped us achieve our dream wedding. If we could go back in time, we would’ve contacted and engaged Marcus as our first vendor. His attention to detail and experience in the industry is priceless and helped us figure out all of the small details and timeline for our big day. Marcus met with us multiple times throughout the planning process - during our last meeting we spoke for almost 2 hours meticulously going through details. With such careful planning, my (now) Wife and I were able to enjoy the day stress free as everything was entirely figured out. Lastly, and most importantly, Marcus absolutely lit up the dance floor with his DJ set. Our guests loved the music, the dance floor was never empty, and the transitions and announcements by Marcus were perfectly executed. We highly recommend going with Marcus as your DJ - he’ll go above and beyond!

Marcus was the first DJ we spoke to for our wedding and we immediately knew he was perfect for us! He has a deep wealth of knowledge on all music genres and was incredibly easy to work with. His background as an experienced NYC club DJ really shines in his music library. He accommodated all of our requests, incorporated our music interests (kpop, metal), and even provided perfect suggestions for recessional and cake cutting music when we didn't know what to pick. In all our meetings with him leading up to the wedding, Marcus was warm, inviting, and energetic. This was exactly the mood we wanted to have on our wedding day and he really came through. On the day of, he was fully prepared with mics, speakers, etc. and helped prep us for each event with extreme professionalism. Our dance floor was never empty and Marcus made our wedding feel like truly our wedding, not just another typical, mainstream wedding.

My husband and I agree- Marcus is the best wedding hire we made. He is the ultimate professional and just a very nice guy to be around. He gave us the dance party of our dreams. We've gotten SO many compliments from friends about how much fun they had at our wedding, thanks to the music. Marcus also helped me pull off a musical surprise for my husband. He's just the best, hire him!!!

Marcus was the best DJ we could ask for! He met with us for an in person consultation and immediately was so friendly and knowledgeable about weddings. As as Asian couple, it was important to have a DJ who was an expert in not only our music preferences but also with cultural requests (ex: line dancing for our Filipino fam/friends). The DJ worksheet he provided really helped us brainstorm and understand the flow of our wedding and the brief but effective pre-wedding meeting really made us feel at ease. Finally, he was so professional and charismatic on our wedding day -- he helped edit our first dance song and he even went above and beyond and helped us prepare two surprise dances (one I planned, the second our friends met with him during the wedding to setup). He was truly the best and we recommend his services 10/10.

We loved working with Marcus for our wedding. Not only is he talented artistically, he is very organized and professional. We appreciated that he took the time to get to know us and supported us in creating a great vibe for our guests! It was an amazing dance party! We were blending many different cultures – Turkish, Bangladeshi, Canadian, American. It was fun to work with him on incorporating these different cultural aspects to our ceremony and reception. He was so diligent in understanding our run of show, pronouncing our family members’ names correctly, helping our day of coordinate manage the schedule as he MC’ed. On top of that, Marcus was very prompt and responsive in our communications, which helped us stay organized leading up to our wedding. We would recommend him wholeheartedly.

Marcus DJ’d our wedding at Midtown Loft and Terrace this past weekend and we couldn’t be happier with our choice. We knew instantly upon our first meeting with him that he would bring our music vision to life. He was a delight to work with throughout the planning process and helped coordinate the steps during our ceremony and reception so that music was played at the perfect time, down to the seconds. His attention to detail is unmatched and the transitions between songs on the dance floor were seamless and smooth. We even asked him to combine two (very different) songs for our Mother/Son dance as a surprise and our guests absolutely loved it. We had guests come up to us multiple times throughout the night to tell us how awesome our DJ is, and we agree 100%. Thank you again, Marcus, for an incredible evening in the city!

DJ Marcus Ho is the best DJ and one of the best (if not the best) vendor we worked with for our wedding. He was extremely professional, communicative, and played fantastic music. He answered me same day when I had initially started reaching out for DJs and his initial email had a good amount of information I needed, including cost, packages, and other details you are looking for with a DJ. Also, Marcus not only did his DJ duties, but was able to MC as well for us. We weren't looking for an over the top MC - like the ones who do too much on the dance floor. Instead we were looking for someone who was able to make the proper announcements and also keep the hype up, which Marcus was great at!

The whole process of working with Marcus was extremely painless and wonderful. He was very fast with answering emails and addressed any questions we had. We had 2 meetings - 1 initial introduction meeting, which immediately after I knew he was the DJ for us, and a 2nd meeting a few weeks before our big day to discuss details. Marcus provides a worksheet for the couple to fill out with Wedding party details, music picks, etc. It was very detailed and during the 2nd meeting, we discussed it in detail so he is able to ensure that your day goes well. He also above and beyond to contact the venue for our wedding as I believe it was his first time working at our venue. He wanted to make sure that he would be able to set up properly for cocktail hour and reception, and he did so without me having to be involved at all (all I needed to provide was the contact information). Marcus was also able to work on the fly with accommodate a last minute change we had to our wedding and it went off without a hitch. I had emailed him the evening before with the change and on the day, he was 100% able to make sure it was taken care of.

Marcus is not one of those DJs where you give him a list of must plays and he takes them as suggestions. He does his best to play everything that you want played at your wedding. We had so many requests that I was worried not everything was going to be played, but after our 2nd meeting, he ensured us that we could even provide a few more songs, which was fantastic! Right before our wedding, he provided his mix of songs he was going to play for our guest arrival and cocktail hour. All the songs he picked fit the vibe that we were going for. On our wedding day, he played all the songs plus some more that went perfectly along with the songs we requested. He read the room and knew what our guests would love dancing to. We had a ton of fun, and our guests seemed to have as well - all thanks to Marcus immaculately curating the vibes.

DJ Marcus Ho was such a wonderful person to work with and we were extremely glad to have chosen him to DJ/MC our once in a lifetime day. You should definitely use him for your wedding!

PS - One additional detail I did not want to leave out, as it may be important for some people looking for wedding DJ/MCs - initially, we had thought about having a bi-lingual Chinese/English MC and Marcus was able to provide some names he worked with. Ultimately, we did not go with that option, but having the connection was extremely helpful.

From our first meeting with Marcus, we knew we were in good hands. We had a few calls with other DJs & Marcus stood out from the beginning. Not only was Marcus so personable, but he was truly determined to match the vibe my husband & I were looking for in our wedding music. Our venue was a restaurant with multiple rooms & he managed to have the sound play wonderfully throughout the place. He even went above & beyond by scoping out the restaurant the day before to ensure his set up for the day of.
Marcus did a great job of announcing our toasts, clearing the floor for first dances & providing thoughtful and meaningful announcements when needed. He kept our dance floor packed all night long by playing our “must plays” while also feeling the vibe of the room to keep everyone (regardless of age) dancing and having fun.
Looking back on our wedding, there were little mishaps & things we did not expect for. The true ONE thing my husband & I never had to worry or think about was our music. Having Marcus be our DJ alleviated any potential stress because we know he truly cared about our wedding. He was extremely flexible with the venue, personable with our guests, and exceptionally talented at what he does. I would recommend him 100x over! Out of the different vendors we had - restaurant, hair/makeup etc THIS guy is the absolute #1 recommendation.
