Omari's Boston Wedding DJ Reviews and Testimonials

Beat Train Productions DJ: Omari Hayles 5

Beat Train and my DJ Omari were great to work with. Omari has a professional and calm demeanor that puts you at ease during the planning process. The planning process was so easy that I kept worrying we were overlooking something. My fears were completely put to rest the day of the wedding. Omari was punctual and well prepared. I barely had to think about any of the sound logistics at all thanks to him, which is exactly what you want on the day of. As for the dance portion of the night, my wife and I had multiple guests approach us on the dance floor to tell us how great the DJ was. Our dance floor was packed the entire night. Afterwards many guests commented they had never been to a wedding with such a full dance floor for the entire reception. During the planning I gave Omari a few must play songs and he was able to build an hours long playlist with the exact vibe I wanted. You will not regret booking Omari.

Omari is a great DJ. He is super kind, responsible and responsive. He is a good communicator. During the whole wedding preparation and process, it’s super smooth. He also knows when and how to inject high energy into the dancing floor. Everyone love the music and the atmosphere he created. I can’t be happier to have him be our wedding DJ. Also, he has a really fair price. What he promises he will definitely give to you. The lighting, monograph, photo booth and music are all great and perfect. My wife was also so happy about him. Don’t feel doubt about your choice. Just go with him. That’s my suggestion after I compared about 10 different DJ groups. He is the DJ that you can depend on. Finally, thank you, Omari!

Beat Train honestly put together the best process leading up to our event – communication was seamless, the questionnaire they had us fill out was so comprehensive and we felt so prepared and taken care of! And Omari DJ’d the best wedding dance floor we could have ever dreamed. We had an absolute blast, and so did everyone. We were hearing from friends for several weeks after about how epic the dance floor was! It was all thanks to Omari, reading the room, picking up on our must-plays and running with the perfect mix of throwbacks and hits, but nothing that felt too overplayed or cliché. He went above and beyond in so many ways. The lighting of the stage, the music that followed our guests from arrival, through cocktail hour, and into the reception. Omari cued up our speeches and dances at just the right time, wasn’t overly chatty on the mic, and even recorded our loved ones’ speech audio for us to have as a keepsake. We cannot say enough about the whole process! Prep, party, and post. Thank you Omari and Beat Train!

Due to COVID, we had some last minute changes and were looking for a band about a month before our wedding date. Beat Train Productions was prompt and responsive – every couples dream when looking for a vendor in the midst of a pandemic. We quickly connected with Jake who helped make the process seamless (thanks Jake!!). From there we chose Omari for our big day and we are so grateful we did! Omari was fantastic! We were unsure about what dancing would like with smaller wedding but the dance floor was full and everyone had an amazing time! Thank you Beat Train Productions, Jake and Omari!

Omari was great! He was the DJ at our wedding this weekend. He made sure we stayed on track. Even our event manager said he was awesome and arrived early for set up. I would definitely recommend Omari.

Omari is an incredible DJ. From the very start he was a super clear communicator and made the planning process very easy. His great organizational skills made sure our musical choices and tastes were apparent and understood before the event. He was by far the easiest vendor to work with during the whole planning process of our wedding. He setup the ceremony perfectly and in a way that was very clear for everyone to understand and use. Omari also has a superb ability at reading the dance floor and knowing what to play to keep everyone happy. We were all so impressed with how he was able to just know what to play us. The songs he played, many by his own intuition, will never be forgotten by so many people at our event because of just how perfect they were and the memories we made during them. I can’t recommend Omari enough. He’s so easy to work with and really helps create some of the best memories you’ll ever have.

DJ Omari was a pleasure to work with! We completed a worksheet to include all the must have and must exclude songs. He and his team provided the uplighting, music and photo booth with props for our 140 person wedding. When there was a bit of a mixup with our first dance, Omari quickly acknowledged it and worked hard to make the rest of the night flawless. To our surprise, he was able to coordinate playing a music set for a dance that some of our guests had created for us. He reads the dance floor very well, never keeping a song on too long or too short. Dancing was the thing I looked forward to most at our reception, and I did not leave the floor once. We received lots of compliments on our DJ choice! Thanks Omari 🙂

Omari was amazing! We discussed type of music ahead of time and he read our crowd well. He even was able to play some Scottish folk dances for our Scot contingent. The dance floor was packed the entire time, they wouldn’t let him leave at the end of the night.

Omari did such a wonderful job DJ-ing our wedding. He made the whole process very easy and fun. He was very responsive and answered all of our questions, and he worked with us to get exactly the kind of music we wanted. We got so many compliments on the music from our guests. We had a great experience with Omari.

Omari was our DJ for our barís entertainment kick off, his playlist kept everyone dancing and singing. Huge success!!

Kristen Kelley
Beat Train Productions DJ: Omari Hayles 5

Omari did a good job! He deejayed our wedding reception and provided uplighting and was professional, personable, and reliable. He had a great tool (spreadsheet) for ensuring there was an outline covering both the songs we wanted to hear and dance to, as well as a schedule of events. We recommend him to those looking for a deejay in the greater Boston area!

Omari was the DJ at my wedding last month and I would recommend him to anyone else getting married in the Boston area. My wife knew Omari socially, so he came to mind quickly when searching for a DJ. After our initial chat with him, I knew that he would be great for our special day; he had worked for weddings with a range of styles and had a great demeanor for hosting events. He was organized in the weeks leading up to the event, as we went through the run-of-show and song preferences. I appreciated his responsiveness to my questions, both via email and phone, right up to the night before. At the wedding, the logistics went smoothly and his mix of music was the perfect range of styles. He showed up on time and worked with our event coordinator to set up his equipment in a way that could handle the multiple rooms used during our event. I was moved to hear all the songs my wife and I had spent the previous weeks selecting. During the cocktail hour and dinner, he selected just the right ambient music and handled the logistics of our speeches well. Several people commented on how much they enjoyed the music after the reception: a mix of 90’s hits with a splash of Bollywood. After giving Omari a representative list of songs (as well as a “do not play” list), he did a perfect job of filling in the rest and had people dancing all night. Overall, the music added an additional dimension of meaning to the event, largely thanks to Omari. I highly recommend him as a DJ.

Omari was awesome! If you are are on Insta, Finsta or Snap, you could see 100 kids totally jamming out with him. He was totally professional, very helpful and considerate, and EXTREMELY ENTERTAINING. I’d give him the highest recommendation for anyone who was looking for a DJ. So glad we snagged him for our event at the AC Hotel in Boston!

Erin McGarry
Beat Train Productions DJ: Omari Hayles 5

Omari was our DJ + MC for a small wedding this fall. He was both easy to work with and very professional! We spoke on the phone and via email a few times beforehand to lay out the scope of the event and what would be needed; he took a few complex requirements in stride (e.g. needing a mix of indoor / outdoor speakers and microphones, mixing two songs together for a special dance). On the day-of, he was responsive to our changing schedule, and did a great job handling announcements and moving folks from one space to another. He was very independent in setting up, which was great, because it freed us up to deal with other vendors with last-minute questions. Finally, the music selection was great, and folks of all ages ended up on the dance floor!

Matthew Keeter
Beat Train Productions DJ: Omari Hayles 5

Omari was amazing as our wedding DJ! Everyone the next morning raved about the music all the way from my grandpa to my college age cousins. He really played for everyone which made the party so much more fun! He was also incredibly organized, professional, and reliable which is all we could have asked for during the wedding planning process. He gave great suggestions and added the little touches that made working with him flawless. Thanks again Omari!! PS. We are looking forward to our five year anniversary party! ??

Tara Kelly
Beat Train Productions DJ: Omari Hayles 5

Omari was amazing! He asked all the right questions about what my wife and I were looking for at our wedding, and it went off without a hitch. The entire night was a blast and everyone we spoke to was very happy with the music choices. We were very broad with our requests in terms of what to play, and Omari interpreted what we wanted perfectly! If we ever have a need for a DJ again, Omari is our first choice!

Sean Benoit
Beat Train Productions DJ: Omari Hayles 5

Omari was great to work with! He helped us every step of the way leading up to the wedding making sure every aspect of the reception was planned out and all of our favorite songs were ready to go! Omari wasn’t able to be at our wedding (he told us this upfront, so no surprises), but the DJ he had come was very professional and handled everything exactly as we had expected and hoped! The night went off without a hitch and everyone had a blast! We highly recommend his services!

Cassandra Shaw
Beat Train Productions DJ: Omari Hayles 5

As my high school’s prom coordinator, I have had the pleasure of working with Omari for 3 years now. He has always been wonderful to work with, completely reliable and very accommodating. His music selection has always been exactly what our students ask for and his colorful up-lighting adds a beautiful ambiance to the dance floor. I plan to use him for future events and enthusiastically recommend him.

Michelle Secor
Beat Train Productions DJ: Omari Hayles 5

Omari was great to work with! Personable, with professional and clear communication through the entire process. 90’s hip hop playlist was exactly what we ordered and everyone had a blast! Make sure you get this guy for your party needs, he pulls it all together for you. THANK YOU!!!

Angela Harrington
Beat Train Productions DJ: Omari Hayles 5

We worked with Omari for two events in Boston for a corporate client. Omari was collaborative and awesome to plan with. Most importantly, it was apparent that he is passionate about his music, intuitive about his crowd adjusting flavor and vibe as the dancefloor dictated. Would definitely work with Omari again.

Brandon Morrison

We had a great experience working with Omari. He is very professional and easy to work with. He paid close attention to our special music preference and did his best to make our day so special. We highly recommend his service!

Omari was professional from beginning to end. He balanced a diverse set of music genres for our multi-cultural wedding extremely well. Also, he made the entire process so easy. People were dancing from start to finish throughout our reception and it would not have been possible without Omari. We highly recommend Disc Jockey Boston

Allan Blanchard
Beat Train Productions DJ: Omari Hayles 5

Omari is the best! He put together an incredible playlist for our wedding last summer. The dance floor was packed the entire night and we had guests yelling “one more song!” by the end of the night. He makes the whole process very easy and works with you to create a customized playlist for the night. We would definitely use him again in the future!

Ryan Parsons
Beat Train Productions DJ: Omari Hayles 5

Omari was fantastic to work with and did a great job at our daughterís wedding in Newport, RI. He is very professional and has a nice, really warm personality. I knew from the first day that he was the right DJ for us. I highly recommend Omari for your special day and look forward to working with him again.

Nuray Anahtar
Beat Train Productions DJ: Omari Hayles 5

Omari did an AWESOME Job! I highly recommend him to others to use. We had a small wedding for my daughter with the coming together of two different backgrounds and cultures. He worked in music to make us all feel comfortable and he was very professional. He helped with us to meet our budget needs and excelled at his profession. If you need someone that is friendly professional and fun to work with call this DJ for your next party. You will not be disappointed.

Nicole Smith

Omari DJed our wedding and we really enjoyed working with him. He was very responsive and helpful throughout the whole process. We were planning the wedding on a condensed timeline but he kept us on track and helped us plan the reception in addition to the music. We danced all night! Thanks, Omari!

Melis Anahtar
Beat Train Productions DJ: Omari Hayles 5

Omari was a great DJ to work with he really knows what heís doing and takes his career seriously but with a fun approach. We did a venue walkthrough before hand and we talked about the music that I wanted to be played. I sent him tons and tons of songs titles before the event and everything I asked him to play he played but what was also great was that he added his own choices that were even better and he really got the party started. He was professional and reliable. An all around pleasure to work with. I would hire him again and again.

Roger Clap
Beat Train Productions DJ: Omari Hayles 5

I’m the CEO of a nonprofit organization in Somerville. We hired Omari Hayles to DJ at portions of our annual meeting and dinner, and annual celebration attended by over 200 people in Somerville. Omari was a complete pro to deal with, from contracting and scheduling all the way through delivering a terrific mix of music for our event. Omari was well organized and timely in engaging with us at the Somerville Armory through all the typically hectic period of setting up for such an event. I know Omari does a great job DJ’ing for private events as well, but I’d highly recommend him for a public event such as ours.

Danny LeBlanc
Beat Train Productions DJ: Omari Hayles 5

Omari’s services were prompt, professional, and through–AND his taste in music rocks! He can put together a fantastic playlist for your wedding or event. Don’t think twice–book Omari! I can’t say enough good things about him or thank him enough. Five stars, A++++++++ rating!

Beat Train Productions was amazing and our DJ, Omari, did a fantastic job at our wedding. From the planning phone calls, to picking out the best DJ fit for us, to making the payments online, everything was simple with Beat Train. Omari’s skills as a DJ are superb, and he we received many comments from our guests about how great the music was.

DJ Omari Hayles from Beat Train Productions was fantastic! He was easygoing, organized, and created the exact wedding ambiance we wanted – no easy feat considering we gave him a wide variety of music we wanted! He was on top of every moment and had the dance floor full all night – we actually had a few guests request the playlist! It was hard leaving the dance floor at the end of the night. Beat Train was also very flexible in rescheduling our date due to COVID-19 and we really appreciated that.

Omari did a wonderful job with our wedding. We really wanted to make the reception as much of a party as possible and HE DELIVERED. He gave us tips on how to keep the event moving and then helped us get the party started and keep it going until the bitter end. Side note: Omari, thank you for not judging us for the conga line. It wasn’t our idea. He was professional, communicative, and definitely captured the spirit of what we wanted. Thanks!

Omari was truly amazing throughout the entire process and made the whole thing go incredibly smooth. Ben and I are both the first of our friends to get married so there was a lot we did not know about the “flow” of everything. Omari’s detailed planning sheet and cues throughout the wedding were EVERYTHING! He was also so skilled at reading the room and had everyone on the dance floor from beginning to end. If you are looking to hire a DJ we would both highly recommend Omari!!!

We selected Omari for our wedding and he knocked it out of the park! The guests never left the dance floor. I didn’t expect to get a chance to dance as much as the other guests because I had duties as the bride. The music was so good however, I literally couldn’t stay off the dance floor!! So much fun, amazing selections of songs, and fun transitions between them!

Omari from Beat Train was an awesome DJ who incorporated all the hits we asked for and avoided what we didn’t want to hear. His mixes kept our guests guessing and it was fun to see people wondering what he was going to play next. He worked with our photographer last minute to do a table dash so we could get a photo with each table, and he was the consummate professional in announcing toasts, reminding guests about our audio guest book, and more. People kept asking who our DJ was and our dance floor was packed from my dance with father to the moment our last song played. Beat Train is also helpful with planning before the day, using an online platform to keep track of the music requests, payment, and timing considerations for the wedding day.

My husband and I hired Beat Train and DJ Omari for our June 2022 wedding. Both Beat Train and DJ Omari were super easy to work with from the start. We made a Do Not Play/Must Play list ahead of time which was honored (and super appreciated). We specifically picked DJ Omari out of the recommended DJs because I really liked his song transitions. We received lots of compliments about the music and I was on the dance floor the entire night. Can’t recommend Beat Train and DJ Omari enough!
