A good DJ makes for a great wedding. Hire Nick and be prepared for an amazing, off the charts fantastic wedding! When I booked Nick 2 years ago I had a very streamlined vision of how I wanted my music. But at our creativity session before the wedding, the options and possibilities Nick suggested were insane. I never thought that my favorite rock bands could be incorporated into my wedding until that meeting. He took a few of my ideas and ran with them. He helped us figure out our ceremony music down to the cake cutting song-all with songs from our favorite bands and music that was non-traditional. The comments were endless about the music-during and after the wedding. Guests loved that he played music and got people to dance before the food was even served. Others loved the mix throughout the night of current stuff and GOOD old school. I wanted unique and he gave me unique. He was fun and professional and just made our day perfect. I only wish it lasted days not hours!
Nick from is simply the best. There is no other DJ out there with his talent. My guests continue to rave about the music at my December wedding. The best compliment I got was from my father in law who told me that he never dances, but Nick somehow knew how to keep him on the dance floor. Nick has unparalleled talent for keeping your guests moving. He will work with you to match songs to your specific taste. The dance floor at my wedding was never empty and I could not be more grateful to Nick for making my wedding such a memorable night. Start to finish it was the best day thanks to you!
From the first meeting with Nick to the last we were fully confident that he would do a wonderful job. We were not looking for a cheesy wedding DJ. As we met with several other DJs, we knew that Nick would make our wedding day fun and what we wanted. He was very easy to work with. We gave him about 8 songs that was a must play, as the rest he took into his own hands. The dance floor was packed the entire night and we are still getting compliments about the music. As we had a mixture of age groups he played music that everyone could dance to from the 20 years olds to the 80 year olds everyone was on the dance floor. Nick was very accommodating and open with us. He reassured that if anything was to come up the day of the wedding he would let us know first. ​
I can not find the words to explain how amazing our wedding turned out. Nick did a fantastic job! He kept in touch with us from the very beginning up until our big day. He walked us through every detail, and made us very comfortable and relaxed heading into the biggest event of our lives. The music, and the order it was played, was placed perfectly throughout the night. We could not have asked for a better turn out. Nick, again, thank you! 5 stars all the way!!!
Nick and his company are just the best! Whatever you want in your wedding music they provide! Nick was absolutely awesome to work with and he helped us pick the music for our ceremony and reception to make it fit our personality and musical tastes. Then he had the party dancing all night as promised. This crew is the real deal! We cannot thank them enough for how much they helped to make our day truly special and a blast!!!!! You would be lucky to have them do your event!!! My husband and I can't stop talking about how impressed we were along with our guests!
We can’t say enough about Nick. They were INCREDIBLE!!! From start to finish everything was top notch. Nick met with us and walked us through everything. Helped us pick songs and guided us the whole way! The ceremony was awesome! Music was amazing and everything flowed perfectly. The reception was incredible! Nick and his team made sure everyone was dancing the WHOLE time and truly listed to what we wanted to happen throughout the night. We are so thankful to him and his team! EVERYONE loved them! We received dozens of compliments during and after the reception. TRULLY TRULLY AMAZING! Thank you!
Nick was amazing and he made sure that all of the music was exactly the version and way that we wanted it to be. He gave suggestions when we asked for it but also made sure that we had complete control over the music in our wedding. He was the perfect MC and the dance floor was never empty!
Nick was AMAZING and his company ROCKS!!! Couldn't be happier with the services, professionalism and fun personality! He is SOOOOOOO easy to work with and made everything a stress free fun expirence. His company was recommended to us and we couldn't be happier!!! ​
Best DJ in New Jersey by far! I received so many amazing compliments on what an awesome DJ I had. Nick was a crowd pleaser. He got everyone up and dancing and kept the night running smoothly. I couldn't have been happier with my choice of DJ.
Nick provided fantastic music and entertainment for our daughter's recent wedding reception at the Avalon Yacht Club. The guests came up to us throughout the evening raving about the music, Nick's running commentary and his involvement with the party. Nick got right into the spirit of the crowd and even my 95 year-old mom remarked about how terrific a DJ he was. My wife and I especially appreciated that Nick played such a great mix of musical styles and genres, so there was something for everyone to dance to. He got all the guests out on the dance floor and no-one wanted the night to end. We couldn't have been happier or had more fun and would wholeheartedly recommend Nick to anyone who is planning a wedding event anywhere. Kudos for a job well-done!
Best. DJ. Ever. That pretty much sums it up. Since my friend's wedding 3 years ago where Nick was the DJ, I knew that I wanted him for mine. After booking the venue he was the next person I called. Nick did a phone planning session with us a few weeks before the wedding and helped us select music for the various parts of the ceremony and reception. He also figured out how to incorporate our favorite bands/artists to create an interesting and unique music experience. The day of, Nick checked in with me throughout the night to make sure I was happy and made sure there was a natural flow to the evening. I don't know what I could have been unhappy about because the music was AWESOME. People were dancing the whole night and he played music that everyone could enjoy. He rolled with the punches with my crazy family and friends, even wearing some of the props they brought. I'm hoping to crash some of his future weddings because they are just that fun!! You won't be disappointed - call to book him NOW!
I highly recommend Nick. We had an intimate beach wedding and he provided music for the ceremony and DJ'd the reception. He met with us beforehand for a "creativity session" so he knew our musical taste and we made selections for ceremony music, first dance, etc. He had lots of suggestions but also listened to what we like so that all the music for the reception was exactly what we wanted. He made sure that the vibe during dinner was relaxed and cool, but that the dance floor was packed afterward (and with a small guest list that isn't easy!). I would recommend him for small or large weddings, especially for couples that have an eclectic musical taste and want to work some unique or non-traditional songs into their day.
If you want your wedding guests to have an amazing time and keep the dance floor packed all night, then book Nick! He is seriously the best DJ we've ever heard and he knows how to work the crowd. He's so easy to work with and super enthusiastic about his job - you can tell he loves music and wants everyone to have the best time ever. The songs were perfect and the pacing of the reception was perfect. Nick knows when to get the crowd going and also how to slow it down at the right time. He is seriously amazing and will make your reception one to remember. He’s also a really nice guy – easy to get in touch with and easy to talk to. Don't even consider anyone else. He's the MAN.
Nick is the best!! We had a packed dance floor from the moment cocktail hour was over until the very last song. His energy level throughout the whole night was amazing and you can tell he LOVES what he does and does it well. We are still getting compliments on having "the best DJ ever." From the moment we booked him, to the creativity session to the wedding night we knew we could count on him to make it the best night of our lives-and he did just that, and then some. :)
Prior to getting married, my husband & I went to our share of weddings...about 15 in 3 years! Needless to say we've also seen/heard our share of music at all of them. At each of them there were always people dancing and having a great time; sometimes the floor would be more or less crowded depending on the type of music. BUT I can honestly say that there was not one single time when the dance floor at our wedding was not completely packed!!! Nick was absolutely amazing from the beginning to the end of our wedding and all of the planning in between!
Nick provided the music for our ceremony on the beach, the microphone so our guests could hear the ceremony, and the music for the cocktail hour and reception. He met with us twice for a good few hours and helped us pick music for everything. Leading up to the wedding day, he was always available for questions, changes, etc. We were able to have a really personal soundtrack to our wedding day that included Foo Fighters, Smashing Pumpkins, U2, and Dropkick Murphys - definitely not your everyday wedding music, but it worked amazingly! The dance floor was filled all night and everybody had a great time! Our guests commented on how great Nick was and they were disappointed when the night was over.
We were extremely impressed with Nick and his staff on our wedding day. Our guests are still raving about the music at our wedding and would love a copy of the soundtrack:) What we loved about Nick the most was that he was not only a "DJ", but a wedding coordinator as well. He made sure that the dance floor was packed and that the entire evening was orchestrated smoothly. He was extremely helpful throughout the planning process and we especially enjoyed our "creativity session" in which we were able to meet with Nick and plan our reception from start to finish. We can't thank him enough for being such a big part of our big day.
Nick was amazing!!! We finally got a chance to meet Nick a week before the wedding due to our schedules and somehow he was able to completely understand our needs and wants and the "feel" of the wedding we were going for in a very short time. He listened to what we wanted and didn't want and helped us choose the PERFECT music for each moment when we were unsure of what to pick. I feel like the DJ can make or break a wedding reception (he also did our ceremony) and Nick definitely "made" it! From the first song of the prelude to the last song of the evening, our expectations were exceeded! Our guests are still talking about it!! We would recommend Nick to anyone!
We can't even put into words how amazing the music was at our wedding, thanks to Nick. His love of music, his personality and his ability to tailor the experience to us as a couple made the evening unforgettable. Every aspect of the music from ceremony to reception was flawless. We have received numerous compliments from our guests who have said, "he is the best DJ EVER!" In the initial planning stages, Nick took the time to listen to us and to make sure our needs were met. His professional advice and support was greatly appreciated. We envisioned an evening where our guests would be dancing from beginning to end and we were successful...thanks to Nick and his team. We can't thank you enough ​
Nick was the best Emcee . He seriously made our wedding night the best it could be. Nick took care of everything. I wasn't stressed about who was walking with who, or when to walk down the aisle. Seriously, the best. He is personable and had our guests on the dance floor the whole night. The next day, at least 40+ people called me to say they had a wonderful time and expressed how much they enjoyed the entertainment. The right music was always aged at the right time. Definitely get in touch with Nick at BeTheGood. You won't be disappointed!!!!! PS. Nick, you rock!
We met with Nick and from the beginning we knew that he would make our wedding day special. He is really passionate about music and his job. At the first consult, where we discussed our music likes and dislikes, he really listened to us and was able to tailor our wedding play list to represent us as a couple. People could not get enough of the music and were on the dance floor the entire night. We even had some of our family members that never dance on the dance floor. Our wedding was two months ago and my friends still talk about the music and how much fun they had. Nick was very easy to work with and was always just a phone call away whenever we had a question. He made our special day stand out from the rest. You cannot go wrong with Nick. I would definitely recommend him for your wedding or next event.
Nick was a pleasure to work with. Specifically because you could tell he truly loves what he does. He listened to everything we wanted, but also had awesome suggestions and advice. He also was detail oriented - right down to the seconds I wanted songs to start and end for entrances, walking down the aisle, etc.
Nick was everything plus more that we could ever ask for. Even my aunt who lives in San Antonio, TX called me and asked about him! lol He is truly amazing and talented and sat down with us to personalize every detail of our wedding. He worked with the other venders as well to make sure nothing went without a hitch. We had our ceremony in the middle of a field next to a tree and he figured out how to hook up our minister to a microphone as well as play the music we personally chose for our ceremony. He has the music from our ceremony transition to where our cocktail hour was (all the way across the huge yard) perfectfully. I highly recommend BeTheGood for anyone who wants an awesome DJ who will keep your wedding amazing!!
Not sure where to begin. But let me say to anyone reading this bride and/or groom that is currently underway with their wedding planning ( I was there not long ago) I know that I greatly relied on recommendations and reviews from other couples. If there is one thing I can help you check of your list of "to do's" (which I know is long!) is that of your wedding emcee/DJ. Before hiring Nick I was at an advantage that I had seen his work at other weddings. But seeing that, you may think, "well, is he going to make MY wedding different? unique? reflect us? The answer is YES, YES, YES! When you work with Nick he will make you feel like you are the only wedding on his plate. He does a wonderful creative session where he will truly get to know you as a couple, individually and really start customizing your wedding music as well as the "feel" you want throughout the event. There is a lot of coordination the day of that you as a couple do not want to worry about and Nick is great at reading the room and keeping the night moving smoothly. You want your guest to have a blast, and your dance floor will be PACKED! Best of luck to all new couples, you will not regret hiring Nick.
Having Nick as our wedding music and entertainment expert was one of the best decisions we made when it came to our wedding. Nick's enthusiasm, expertise and most of all professionalism won us over from the moment we met him. He is prompt to answer any questions or concerns you may have and makes you his first priority. We called Nick about a few things that came to mind during the wedding process and got an immediate response. So much was his experience that we left many of the music details up to him and he did not fail to impress! The guests had a blast! Dancing from beginning to end. Out of all the compliments we received from our wedding guests, the most repeated was "wow the DJ was amazing! He did such a great job!". I would never forget when it was time to start my walk down the aisle and there was Nick waiting for me to reach the perfect spot so he could cue his assistant to change the music. When that new song started I felt my heart come out of my chest, but throughout the emotions somehow I managed to smile just knowing he had nailed it! It was perfect! And you know what the best part of all of it was? it felt like Nick new exactly how it would play out, like he had done this exact same thing a hundred times! Definitely worth every penny we paid for his service. If you are looking for a reception/ceremony music and entertainment expert, you just found it. I cannot say enough good things about him. Thank you so much for making our wedding the perfect party!
From our first meeting with Nick, we were very impressed with his professionalism, and fun attitude. He listened to our wants, as well as, got to know our music tastes, etc... I think my husband could have talked to him for hours! He is very personable and honest. During one meeting, Nick got up and danced... like he was working out the music/feel to see if it would work! The day of our wedding, he did not miss a beat! He was on top of setting up at the venue, the pronunciation of names, tunes, the flow of the room, and by the end of the reception, everyone was out on the dance floor, a large feet for a brunch wedding! Nick was extremely helpful in putting our ideas together for our wedding day. I would highly recommend any soon to be bride/groom to hire Nick! He will not disappoint!
Nick Cavaleri was our wedding emcee and he was fantastic! From our first phone call to the day of our wedding, Nick was great to work with. I've always been that girl at parties throwing on her ipod/iphone and putting on her playlists, so music is something I'm really into and care a lot about. Everything that we discussed during our creativity session, he delivered to the wedding. From our ceremony, to our cocktail hour, to our reception...he handled the flow of it all. Nick is full of music knowledge, has a fun personality and was so easy to get a hold of and chat about anything that may have come up along the planning way. If you are really into music, trust this guy and you'll be so happy. He's wonderful and I highly recommend him to other couples!!
My husband and I were referred to Nick through a friend who worked with Nick at the time. We attended a wedding where Nick was the Mc and the minute we stepped into the reception room, I knew that we would be booking him for our wedding. There was no questions asked. In fact he was the first person we contacted once we got engaged. And said ok we picked our date be available please. He was soooooo amazingly professional yet we literally felt like we have known him for years and our first meeting I believe we just sit and chatted for well over and hour if not more than 2. When it came time for our creative session we met at his studio which was beyond relaxing and chill that we literally just thought we were going to have some drinks at a friends house. We sat with Nick for over 2 hours and he went through everything from soup to nuts. He helped is choose songs that would make our day perfect. And when the day of the wedding came, it was just that PERFECT! Nick had not a single person sitting down, he was involved and danced and sang along with us on the dance floor. I can't even put into words how he has made our night perfect. Anyone who i know who is in need of a DJ or Mc I pull up his contact info and give it to them hands down no questions asked. We still get people a year later saying to us "who was that guy who was at your wedding he was amazing!" If I could give Nick 10+ stars I would. You can't make a better choice in having Nick and his company be the music to your wedding ​
My husband and I were married on October 18, 2014. Nick was recommended to us through a friend whose wedding I attended a few years prior to ours. The one memory I had from her wedding was that the dance floor was packed the entire night with smiling, dancing friends and family, which is exactly what we wanted for our special night. When we met with Nick for our initial consultation, he was very professional and created a fun environment that was easy for us to communicate our wedding vision. As soon as my husband and I got in the car we looked at each other and both said, "He has to be our DJ," and we booked him on the spot. This was one of the best decisions we could have made for our wedding day. As our wedding date got closer, we met with Nick again for three hours and he was able to help us blend our music styles and suggested a variety of songs that were meaningful to us and would keep our guests dancing all night long. Throughout the process I could tell that Nick loves what he does. His enthusiasm is contagious and made the process even more amazingly fun. On our wedding day, Nick helped to make our vision a reality. He was extremely professional and worked collaboratively with the venue staff to organize the night's events and kept our guests up on the dance floor the whole night. My husband and I received so many compliments (on Nick's behalf) about the music and fun environment at our wedding. Nick's personality, enthusiasm, and music knowledge are a sure combination for an amazing time. Thank you for helping to make our day so memorable. You're the best!
We can't say enough good things about Nick Cavaleri! A photographer recommended him to us because she used him for her wedding as well. Nick is very professional, fun, creative, outgoing, original, and just excellent at doing his job. Friends and family still talk about him (almost 2 years later) and how great he was as well as our music choices (my husband and I sat down with Nick and chose almost all the songs that were played). He was always available via phone or e-mail if we had any questions (which I had plenty of). We would definitely recommend Nick for your next event!
Nick Cavaleri and his crew are nothing short of amazing. Nick didn't simply ask us what songs we wanted played, but took the time to get to know us personally, and took the time to learn about the people and things that were important to us, and made them a special part of our day. He truly went above and beyond to make sure that every aspect of our wedding that was in his control was perfect. He moved things along at a perfect pace, and never made things feel rushed. He kept the dance floor filled, and kept everyone going the entire night. Unlike (almost) every other DJ service, Nick did not use the day as a platform to advertise Be The Good, or to line up his next job...but with his hard work, dedication and sincerity, he earned several more jobs from various friends and family members after our wedding. He made it personal for us, and made the day unforgettable for us and our guests. I wish we had events that required Nick's services more often, because it is a guaranteed great time. Not only have we found a DJ for life, but we have made a great friend in the process.
Nick Cavaleri ..... Basically all we can say about him is if you want your wedding to be remembered and no one to stop dancing... Book him right now!!! My husband and I were married May of 2012 and to this day people still rave about him. The main reason we chose him (besides the fact he's a DMB fan) was that from the start it wasn't about business... He made us feel as though he was really truly excited to be such a huge part of our day, and that he was! You need 3 things to make a wedding great 1- good music 2- good food and 3- good people. Nick was by far the best money spent out of all of our vendors!
Nick Cavaleri was our wedding DJ and we could not have been happier with our choice. Nick was highly recommended by our awesome photographer. When we first met with Nick to go over the details for our wedding, we clicked right away. He knew what we were looking for and how to achieve it. We felt completely at ease with him and there was no question in our mind that he was going to be our wedding DJ. We had a planning session with Nick right before the wedding. This was the best part of the planning. Nick had so many ideas to share with us and he was able to figure out exactly what we wanted. We left that brainstorming session knowing exactly how our wedding was going to go from start to finish. He really took the time to get to know us as a couple and understand what we were looking for. We got so many compliments during our wedding and afterwards about the music choices. Everyone loved the music selection- young to old. We had some guests telling us that they felt like they were reliving their youth. Everyone had the best night and the dance floor was always packed. We are forever grateful that we found Nick and would highly recommend him!
In my opinion, a DJ will make or break your wedding and Nick by FAR exceeded our expectations and made our wedding day what it was. 5 years later people are still talking about our special day. From the minute we set up an appointment with Nick we knew we were in good hands. He wasn't like all the rest of the DJs we looked at; he had a very different approach and that's what we liked. He was extremely honest, professional and friendly from the second we met. He listened to our wishes in what we wanted out of our wedding day and he honored them. He made great suggestions to help make our day even more special. He paid a lot of attention to detail when it came to planning our day with us and I feel he went above and beyond what a "typical" wedding DJ would. I know they say a Mater Dei runs the flow of the wedding but I disagree, your DJ is the single most important part of your night. Nick made sure everything was in order and was streamline. When it came to the actual music, he paid a lot of attention to the guests and what they were into, our dancefloor was packed ALL night! Nick isn't your run of the mill DJ and that's what we LOVED about him. If you want a party you will remember forever, hire him!!
Nick Cavaleri is an amazing and inspiring person. He picked out the best of the best for our best and most important day. Just after one sit down had he managed to already put together a magical play list that was sooo us! Our wedding was rocking and no one ever sat down! It was an awesome party and no one wanted it to end. What was more special and without even asking, Nick made us a CD of our playlist and handed it to us at the end of the night. On days where I need to feel the magic, remember the fun times, or just break out my tissues, I play my wedding CD!!! Gets me every time! He is awesome with the crowd and gets personal with the families on a real person to person level. If it's done it's because it was In his heart to do it, not just because it's part of a "package deal" or a typical rote memory prefab dance selection! He was referred to us by friends of friends who all used his services. Word of mouth is sometimes best, especially to trust such a special day with a special job to do. But being able to tell the wedding world and potential clients how wonderful Nick is is even better!!! Enjoy him we did, almost 6 years ago!!! 
Nick was absolutely perfect! We could not have asked for a better DJ for our wedding. He truly made our night exactly what we wanted. From the beginning, Nick was super easy to work with. We were planning our wedding from 1200 miles away, and he was so flexible about doing as much as possible with us over the phone. He answered all of our questions and made some great recommendations. We told him that we wanted the reception to have a fun vibe and for everyone to be out on the dance floor the entire time. He promised that he would make that happen, and he more than delivered. The dance floor was packed the entire night, he played the perfect selection of music that appealed to our friends as well as to our older family. As an emcee, he was great too! He made sure he knew how to pronounce everyone's name and kept the flow of our night running perfectly. Our friends and family are still talking about how much fun they had and how great the music was! I would highly recommend Nick ​
Nick Cavaleri is amazing! We were blessed to have Nick as the DJ for our wedding. From the very beginning, Nick has been an absolute pleasure to work with. My husband and I were delayed on a flight and thus running late for our very first meeting with Nick (before we had even decided to book services with him) and Nick offered to meet us at his home which was an hour closer for us drive and only 10 minutes from our home. He opened up his home to us and made us feel completely comfortable! It was a pleasure getting to know Nick and the experience of picking out songs for our wedding was a great way for us to stop planning for a day, relax, hang out, listen to music and really get excited for our big day! On the day of our wedding Nick and his team totally rocked the house. From the introductions to the first dances, the music, to the uplighting, to Nick encouraging people to get out and dance - they were truly awesome! We couldn't have asked for a better night. People danced till the lights came on and we were all kicked out! Thank you, Nick for being the best at what you do and for being an absolute pleasure to get to know and work with! Your positive energy and passion for what you do radiates from you
We used Nick with  as our DJ/Entertainer/advisor for our wedding at Mallard Island Yacht Club on 5/24/15. Throughout the entire process he was fantastic! We had two meetings with Nick prior to the wedding where he spent a lot of time getting to know us and understanding our vision for the ceremony/reception/party . From the second he started the wedding party introductions and all the way through to the last song of the night he delivered!! He was the perfect mixture of energy and coolness to keep the party going strong, but without being too in your face. Nick wasn't even phased when my 91 year old grandfather threatened to kill him if he didn't play polka (which was an absolute "do not play" for us). So if you don't want guests to make song requests then don't worry, Nick won't even let death threats stop him from making sure you get the music you want. I'm sure many other things happened that we weren't even aware of because he made sure everything went smoothly once the reception started. We can't thank him enough for helping to give us the perfect night!
They were so professional and well organized. I wouldn't have thought of half the things that they did as far as different songs to pick for different parts of my wedding. Nick and his team were AMAZING. Nick is not just part of the DJ crew. He directed everyone throughout the wedding including during the ceremony. He helped keep everything so organized. The dance floor was COMPLETELY FULL all night long. The music was such a perfect mix to accommodate everyones likes. We also used the uplighting and it made a HUGE difference in the room. I cant even imagine what it would have looked like without it. It made the room PERFECT. I highly highly recommend anyone from unforgettable DJs for their event but I have to especially recommend Nick. He was so informative/helpful/full of great ideas. Thank you so much to Nick and the rest of the crew!
I just experienced the wedding of my dreams, and it would not have been as exciting, complete or as experiential in every way if it were not for my emcee Nick Cavaleri . The energy of the music, the diligent fine tuned planning done by Nick with precision and excellence, combined with his creative genius led to an atmosphere of pure joy for me. In addition,he worked diligently with my husband to surprise me with an adventure involving the emcee at the start! Thank you Nick for all you did to make those moments magical.
Nick was our DJ. We had a hard time, choosing a DJ. I didn't want the cheesy, traditional DJ. When my husband and I met with Nick before the wedding, there was no question about it he was the DJ for us. I had planned most of the wedding, however in the first meeting, Nick wanted to meet both of us. Nick got my husband involved in part of planning the wedding which I was so happy about. He listened to all of the music we like. We had our wedding at my husbands family house. Nick met me there to help give ideas for set up. He was amazing to deal with! Never a time I didn't feel comfortable getting in touch with him. After our wedding, all of our guests said that it was one of the best weddings they went to.
