Aaron Topfer, Nationally Award-Winning Musician/DJ

Aaron was great! As far as the prep work is concerned: I was a very flighty bride and Aaron dealt with it very well. The ceremony music was beautiful and timed perfectly. His DJ skills are awesome. He played all our favorite music, and more importantly, kept the dance floor packed all night. I can't recommend Aaron enough, I am so impressed.

Aaron was the dj for our wedding and also played piano at our cocktail hour (for no extra charge)! If you are looking for a non-cheesey, professional dj that actually listens to what you wantand follows through with what you discussed, he's your guy. My husband and I were so pleased with his services. We honestly could not have asked for better! Thank you Aaron!!

Aaron was AMAZING! He had everyone dancing all night! His pre-wedding planning techniques cover everything and he has an AMAZING list of mustic to look through. He really listens to the bride and groom to make the day perfect! He did beautifully at the ceremony itself. He played the organ for the ceremony. His timing and skills were quite impressive. I heard nothing but rave reviews of his cocktail hour piano playing as well. While we (the wedding party) were taking pictures, he entertained our guests with piano. I recommend Aaron for both ceremony music and DJ services! Hes a two-fer, he's a talented musician and a...

Aaron is extremely professional, we didn't have to worry about anything. The ceremony music was perfectly timed and just what I wanted. The reception was so much fun our guest had the best time! There was barely anyone sitting at the tables for most of the night they were all on the dancefloor! The music is a huge part of your big day. We really felt it was important that we had someone who was experienced and could just take care of all the details, that is excatly what we got. I even gave Aaron some kind of rare songs that we wanted incorporated and he had them within minutes no problem. Definately would reccomend.

I would give Aaron Topfer more than 5 stars if that were an option! Simply put, he is amazing and absolutely wonderful to work with. He has a professionalism and work ethic unlike any other DJ out there and his value for the quality of service he provides is unmatched! Aaron played live piano at our cocktail hours in addition to DJ/emcee-ing our reception and everything was beyond perfect! He respected our "do not play" lists while keeping the dance floor moving all night- Aaron has the ability to get everyone out of their seats and really made our reception- I would HIGHLY recommend Aaron to anyone looking for a quality DJ/musician without all the gimmicks- he's the best!

Aaron Topfer and his DJ services were simply AMAZING! My husband and I were married in Bar Harbor, Maine on October 29, 2011. I had talked to several DJ's and really did my homework on each one of them. Aaron was the last DJ I had contacted and right away he stood out from all the other DJ's I had spoken with and I knew he was what I was looking for. He was a "cheesy" DJ like most people get. I hired him immediately without any hesitation. He was professional and knowledgeable in all aspects of weddings and music. Just by talking with me he knew exactly what we were looking for in a DJ and for music. Out of all my vendors, Aaron was by far the easiest to deal with. He was extremely prompt and efficient and made the whole process so easy. And that was exactly what I needed, as wedding planning is very hectic and crazy! Living in Maine with him being in New Hampshire posed no problem at all. I was able to easily correspond with him by phone and email quite nicely which for me was great because I was working 2 jobs at the time did not have much down time. After our reception almost every guest came to us and commented on the fact that it was the best wedding reception they had ever been too! I was worried that nobody would dance or stay on the dance floor. I was worried for nothintg because nobody left the dance floor the entire night!!! The music and transitions were so amazing that you just did not want to leave the dance floor! The one thing that sticks out in my mind the most was the wonderful job Aaron did for our grand entrance coming into the reception. His announcing was perfect and right on time, as well has the song transitioning. Our friends kept telling us days later that the entire grand entrance with the music brought tears to their eyes! It was that amazing! My husband and I could not have asked for a better DJ!!! Many many thanks!!!

Aaron was extremely professional and provided us with exceptional service. Our guests enjoyed the piano and bass during the cocktail hour. His music selections during the night were fantastic, the dance floor was packed! We really had an amazing wedding reception. Everyone was having so much fun that nobody wanted to leave after the last song, we could have danced all night.

If you do not book him you are making a big mistake. He was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! He was so organized and includes you in all his music making plans. He played the piano during the cocktail and dinner hours and everyone commented on how nice it was. When dinner was over he played every dance song we requested and then some. Everyone was up and dancing till the end. He was just great and I am so happy we found and booked him. You will NOT be disappointed!!!!

I first heard about Aaron on The Knot's Boston message boards. he was mentioned over and over again in rave reviews. I hired him to DJ our Labor Day Weekend wedding, and he did a wonder job. He also provided music for the ceremony, as well as the cocktail hour. The fact that he is a musician himself and can offer this service was a huge benefit. The ceremony music was beautiful (Canon in D, Grow Old with Me, Horn Pipe--Arron on the piano and a violinist), and although I was not at the cocktail hour, many guests told me that the music was great--and not so loud that you could not hear each other speak. During our reception, Aaron had everyone up on the dance floor, and did a great job sticking to our music list. Overall, he was a pleasure to work with--friendly, professional, and experienced. I also thought he was very fairly priced and a great value. I would certainly recommend Aaron to any future bride in the area!

I feel so fortunate to have had Aaron as the DJ and musician for my daughter's recent wedding. He was the consummate professional. Before the wedding, he asked my daughter a ton of questions so that he could know exactly what she wanted. He then made only the announcements she wanted and played only the music she asked for, and let me tell you, the dance floor was never empty the entire evening. He knew just how to keep the party moving. A good DJ is essential, and Aaron is that guy. I recommend him highly.

Aaron was just awesome. He listened to what we wanted for our Wedding Ceremony and Reception and did just that,exactly what we wanted. Aaron plays beautifully and all of our guests really enjoyed his beautiful music. We planned our New Hampshire wedding from Chicago and he was very flexible and easy tp work with. His knowledge about all types of genre was very useful for our planning. We would highly suggest Aaron if you are looking for a talented musician to help you entertain your guests in a very classy environment.

We were married almost 3 weeks ago and we are still getting constant feedback about our wedding day!! Most of all they are talking about the music. Everyone was so impressed with the styles that were played and how great the whole evening flowed together. Thanks to Aaron's expertise, our night was fun filled, and completely flawless. It was everything we expected and more!!

I would just like to say that now that you've found Aaron Topfer's website, there is no need to look elsewhere. Aaron was great, from the first phone call until the end of the reception. Aaron returned my emails and first phone call within minutes, which is more than I can say about most of the vendors with whom we dealt. I would have paid three times what Aaron charged for his services which was much more than reasonable. I thought we got Aaron and his fellow musicians for a steal. I also doesn't hurt that Aaron is just a really nice guy, who's musicianship is top-notch, and his professionalism is just as sharp. Choose Aaron Topfer, Nationally Award-Winning Musician/DJ, for your next event. You will NOT be dissappointed! Sincerely, Joe & Allison Fowler Married 7/9/2011 Kennebunkport, Me

Aaron Topfer provided the music for our daughter's July 3,2011 wedding at the Wild Center in Tupper Lake N.Y. He is the most talented musician who will also provide DJ music and have your reception flow seamlessley. Moving from the synagogue where he played keyboard magnificently accompanied by violin, to cocktails where he provided a wonderful jazz trio, more live dinner music followed by the best DJ reception I have ever heard. All of the music was outstanding. He is a pleasure ! The Bride and Groom were thrilled. LRG

Hiring Aaron was one of the BEST decisions my husband and I made during our wedding planning process. We hired Aaron the first time we met with him because we both had such a good feeling about his professionalism and experience as a DJ and Musician. We met with him about one year prior to our wedding and I was very happy with our decision. He was not about promoting himself; he was all about my husband and I and what we envisioned for our wedding day. When the wedding approached us, Aaron contacted us to discuss how to pronounce everyone’s name correctly and all the special touches we wanted for our BIG DAY. I thought this was very thoughtful of him. We decided to have a bag piper for our ceremony as well as Aaron play the piano for some of the special ceremonies like our Sand Ceremony and Rose Ceremony. It was absolutely perfect! We were very flexible with what kind of music we wanted Aaron to play. I just told him I wanted it to be fun and energetic. He told us that his talent is reading the crowd and making sure everyone danced the entire night, so I trusted him and gave a very limited play list. With all of the other things I had to do for our wedding, creating a play list was not the top on my list! I told Aaron things I definitely did not want played and songs that I definitely wanted to be played. That was it! We trusted Aaron with the rest, and we are so glad we did! He kept the crowd on the dance floor all night long! At one point my husband and I were dancing and we looked around and there was not one person sitting at their tables, it was amazing! We received so many compliments on how great of a job Aaron did and we will recommend him to all of our friends and family for future events. He was so flexible when it came to the wedding day. Our wedding was such a wonderful event that we will never forget and we owe a huge part of that to Aaron Topfer. He was a significant part in making our wedding a success and we couldn’t have been happier with our decision to hire him. They say your DJ makes or breaks your wedding, and Aaron will most definitely MAKE your wedding a day you will remember for the rest of your lives! We cannot thank Aaron enough for everything he did for us and will remember him forever! Thank again Aaron! Brent & Nicole Rowsell

Aaron was the DJ we hired for our 6/3/11 wedding. We could not have made a better choice or a better investment. After speaking with Aaron the first time on the phone, I knew he was very professional and would work with us to create a memorable, wonderful, and dance-filled reception. I expressed a bit about my vision to Aaron in that conversation: my fiance and I did not want a DJ who would make it his/her own show, talk over the music, play ridiculous "wedding" songs (i.e. the chicken dance, macarena, etc.), etc. Our vision was to hire someone professional who would play music that would draw our guests to the dance floor. Aaron was very honest and thoughtful in his response to my concerns and, perhaps it was his politeness and succinctness which assured me that he could deliver on his promise to create our vision for us. We could not have been more pleased with Aaron. Aaron was the epitome of professional in any manner I dealt with him. He was fully prepared with the questions he asked us prior to the wedding; also, having met with him in the few weeks before the big day gave us all the chance to smooth out the details. We additionally paid for two extra musicians at the cocktail hour and to play for dinner hour. Being a professional musician himself, Aaron selected two other amazing and talented professionals to play with him. Hands down, this was the best "unnecessary" expense/purchase we made for our wedding. All of our guests have commented on how classy it was to have a live jazz trio at the cocktail hour/dinner hour. I heard from my guests that people even started dancing to the jazz trio at the cocktail hour! I highly recommend this service - my fiance and I were beyond pleased with this addition. Aaron is such a pleasure to work with. He was very flexible about everything. I had hoped to sing for my fiance, but was feeling nervous. Aaron simply checked in with me a couple of times during the reception to see how my nerves were - I appreciated his sensitivity and accommodating nature. We could not have invested our money in a better way. Aaron took our suggested play list and elevated it to something magical. Our guests keep telling us that Aaron was the best DJ they'd ever encountered. What they echo is what my fiance & I experienced first hand: Aaron played excellent music to get all ages up and dancing. I don't think anyone was left in their seats! If you are considering hiring Aaron, do it! He is the perfect DJ and musician. He is very committed to providing you with the experience that you envision and fully delivers on that commitment. I cannot express my gratitude to him and his fellow musicians for making my wedding day so very perfect!!

Aaron provided live ceremony music and was the DJ for the wedding reception. He was extremely professional throughout all our communications, and provided the musical styles requested by the couple as well as by the parents. The dance floor was always full, and the guests reported loving the music! We highly recommend Aaron Topfer!

My greatest fear in selecting a DJ for my wedding reception was of having a DJ who thought he could really "get the party started" with lots of interruptions and announcements, and by playing "classics" like the electric slide to get everyone out of their seats. None of these were even a slight concern with Aaron. Aaron was extremely professional, helpful in planning the reception, and respectful of our desires (including play/do not play lists). He was able to provide many great suggestions for different parts of the ceremony and reception, but never tried to influence us. He was accomodating to some last minute changes to our selections and really took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for. Aaron also played/coordinated live music for our ceremony and cocktail hour, which was lovely. It was great to find someone that could both DJ and perform live music. As for the reception, our dance floor was beyond packed for the entire night, and EVERYONE was dancing. We have gotten feedback from several guests that it was the most fun they have had at a wedding, and I attribute much of that to Aaron's good taste and expertise in keeping the party going! I would highly recommend Aaron's services to anyone looking to plan a classy and FUN event.

Aaron was fantastic!! He played live for us for our ceremony on his piano, and did a great job on a couple of less-conventional choices we wanted for the ceremony. And for the reception, the dance floor was packed all night long! We've had many of our guests comment on how this was the best wedding party they'd ever been to, before running back out on the dance floor. And after the final dance song we'd selected, Aaron surprised us by playing our first dance song again, with the two of us dancing while all our family and friends stood around and watched us. It was such a great way to end the night and we really appreciated his choice to do that. If you are looking for someone to do the music for your ceremony and reception, stop here!!! You've found the best! And thank you Aaron!!!

As far as Aaron's piano playing for the ceremony, I had a specific version of Pachelbel's Canon that I wanted to walk down the aisle to. Aaron not only learned it, he did it so quickly that he played it flawlessly when we sat down a month before the wedding (we only decided on our wedding date 4 months ahead of time). Also, his advice on the ceremony and reception in general was spot on. As far as his DJ'ing, my husband and I are by no means experts, but we live in Los Angeles and basically spent our 20s going out to bars and clubs several nights a week. We have to say - Aaron is as good as any of them. During our approximately 4-hour reception, not once was the dance floor empty. He basically knew the perfect song to play at the right time. I have to admit - I was concerned when he initially said that he doesn't do the gimmicks that a lot of other wedding dj's do. What I realized during the wedding was he's so good at his job he doesn't need to use the crutches that other DJ's rely on. The most important thing in a DJ whether it's a party or at a bar is his/her ability to read the room and Aaron has it in spades.
