If you have the opportunity to hire DJ Valentina, do it…do not hesitate! She is the real deal! I hired Valentina to perform at my 60th birthday party. I hold a large & elaborate birthday party every 10 years. My 60th was the biggest ever, so I needed all service providers to bring their “A game”. Valentina did just that. EVERY one of my guests (without prompting) raved about how amazing and fun Valentina was. She did exactly what I wanted. My guests danced throughout the night and during the cocktail/dinner time, the background music was on point! Valentina factors in your event vision, provides advice and suggestions and then goes above & beyond! She will forever by my go to DJ!!!

DJ Valentina was a star! We were very particular about the music for our wedding. We didn’t want it to feel cheesy, cookie-cutter, or expected… but at the same time still wanted to get everyone on to the dance floor. She didn’t disappoint! The dance floor was flooded all night with people of all ages and backgrounds. DJ Valentina found the perfect balance of songs everyone loved, without just playing the wedding “top 40.” The music changed quickly, keeping everyone engaged. We got so many compliments from our guests! DJ Valentina was also super professional and easy to work with throughout. Thank you!!!

I do not even know where to begin!!!!!! My husband and I spoke with other DJ’s prior to Valentina and nothing seemed to fit. In speaking with Valentina I knew before hanging up the phone that she was the DJ for our wedding! Valentina was such a blast to work with. We expressed to her that the most important thing for us was that our guest were up on their feet dancing and man did she deliver. Valentina UNDERSTOOD THE ASSIGNMENT!!!!! I HIGHLY recommend Valentina for your next event! I wish I didn’t live in Jersey because I would hire her for ALL of my events!

I wish there were more than 5 stars to give. DJ Valentina was wonderful and kept the party going the entire night. Everyone told me this was the best event that they have ever been to–they had never been to a wedding with such great music and energy. Thank you thank you thank you Valentina for an amazing event!

Interview Transcript

My name is Valentina Marianetti and my company name is DJ Valentina. To state the obvious I am a female DJ which there are not very many of especially in this area. But also I'm different in that I go more by feeling. I feel like a lot of DJs have a curated playlist already set to go and they really tend to veer off of that playlist. And with me it's more of a feeling. It's more of whatever's going on on the dance floor, whoever is vibing to what I'm playing. I read everyone and feel them and take them on a musical journey, and that's what makes me different.

I have traveled the world, I have done many events, many different age groups to entertain, many different cultures. And I think that's a big part of who I am and what I do is because I'm able to play basically to any crowd. I'm open format, which means that you can put me in any setting and I will be able to keep the party rocking.

I think in the wedding industry it is very important to dress a certain way. It's very important for the DJ to not necessarily outshine the couple, but you also have to fit the aesthetics and fit the vibe and look presentable and look stylish. And I think that's something that's lacking in our industry and I'm here to change that.

The booking process is really seamless from the point of contact. The moment you submit, there's someone there to make sure that you're receiving an email reply. I try to make it as easy as possible because I'm a mother of two and I know that I don't need anything extra to make my life more complicated. So therefore, my booking process is pretty seamless. My end goal is to make sure that not only my clients but all of their guests are on that dance floor, having the time of their lives, creating memories with one another, provide an epic dance party. I want to make sure there's a reunion on the dance floor. People are having the time of their lives, something that they'll never forget, leaving here, talking about it time and time again. And ultimately, that's my goal is to bring people together. If you're looking for an epic dance party, someone who can rock the dance floor, someone who is not your standard cookie-cutter type DJ, look no further. I hope to work with you in the near future.
