Megan’s approach to DJing weddings, "I love DJing weddings because I firmly believe the music & the DJ are key to making a memorable event! Without a doubt, everyone remembers a killer dance session & my aim is always to flood the dance floor. Weddings are special because guests come ready to celebrate, but also tricky with a wide range of demographics. My approach is mix genres, play the hits, and push the boundaries, as I want each party to be unique. I also collaborate w/ my clients to create a unique cocktail & dinner hour that can personalize a wedding while creating a specific vibe."

She was a perfect combination of understanding the style we wanted but also using her awesome skills to make it perfect!! People were coming up to us all night saying BEST DEEJAY EVER!! I would recommend her to anyone looking to have an amazing time!!"

The most important thing for me at our wedding was for everyone to dance and have fun and you absolutely made that happen. Thank you so so much for helping to make it such an incredible night!"

"From our first meeting with Megan through the last note she played Saturday night, the experience was perfect. We were looking for someone who was NOT a typical wedding DJ but who WAS willing to be a true collaborator. We had a very specific range of musical tastes to satisfy, and she absolutely nailed it. Megan also brought lots of great ideas to the table and was so much fun to work with. Across the board, our guests loved the set of music she delivered, and it truly enhanced a flawless evening that we'll never forget."

– Michael + James 

"DJ Megan Taylor did our wedding this past April. We booked Megan three years ago and we had to push our wedding out because of Covid until 2021. Megan not only did an AMAZING job on our wedding day she was also very consultative throughout the planning process. She worked to understand the type of event we wanted to have, she asked thoughtful questions, and she shared with us what she has seen from her years in the business of what makes a great wedding from a music and entertainment perspective. Additionally, we were very concerned about the impact that Covid would/wouldn't have on our dance floor. We were unsure whether our guests would dance at all and Megan put our minds at ease with these concerns as she assured us she would be prepared for any of the paths down which our day would travel. Megan felt the energy of our cocktail hour and dinner very appropriately. And she was able to handle the change of the agenda for the evening with a lot of grace. When it came time to open up the dance floor Megan met the energy of our guests and then brought us up to higher and higher levels of aliveness, fun, togetherness, and rhythm that was amazing. It was the most energetic dance floor of any wedding we have ever been to and she kept the energy up for as long as guests were willing to dance which was well over two hours. Throughout the evening, she hit every song on our short-list of must-plays (which wasn't a very short list at all, it had over 20 songs on it). Our wedding was electric bliss because of Megan and we couldn't have asked for a better entertainer for our most special day. I would recommend her to ANY engaged couple who wants to have a great wedding."
