What People Are Saying
“We hired Ruggy to DJ our wedding in Manhattan and he absolutely killed it. He had people on the dance floor literally from the moment we said ‘I do’ until the venue forced him to stop playing music. He also managed to successfully fend off my old relatives who kept requesting slow songs or that he lower the music. He even agreed to take pictures and video of my wife’s half-sister who basically forced him to watch her dance by herself. 5-stars all the way.”

“Ruggy is a dream to work with. After hearing his stylings firsthand at multiple events and seeing how he keeps the dance floor full at even the most stale of corporate gigs, I knew I had to have him DJ my wedding. He’ll fulfill all of your greatest musical dreams, even if those dreams include playing “All I Want for Christmas is You” multiple times at a wedding in September.”

“Ruggy’s a responsive, personable, handsome* go-getter. He’s lots of fun and most importantly took my niche/esoteric (weird) musical taste and worked with me to create a fantastic wedding playlist with songs to get our guests up and moving. He also managed to troubleshoot some technical issues the venue had to make sure all of the audio went off without a hitch. I don’t plan on getting married again... but if I had to, I would choose Ruggy as my DJ in a heartbeat.”

“When Ruggy DJs an event, he brings an unmatched level of charisma and relatability to his performance. Sarah and I are so happy we put our trust in Ruggy to take the reins as our wedding DJ to make the night truly magical. I mean, who else can manage to set the stage for a magical, candlelit dinner with the soothing sounds of Kygo, get an 80-year-old Polish grandmother singing the words to Beyoncé’s Apesh*t, and have the crowd chanting “one more song!” an hour after the wedding reception has officially ended? Ruggy, of course. Put your trust in Ruggy and he’ll make your event one to truly remember.”
