Pros: prompt with emails, arrived on time, attentive to concerns
Cons: Did not play the right music for our crowd, did not match songs, artist suggested
If it was not for the fact that we received an immediate refund I would have rated this more harsh.  Music is very important for my hubby and I as this is how we met.  Since the reviews on the site were great, I set out to contact them.  They are very attentive, responsive, and friendly so I have no complaints at all when it comes to this.    They send you a sheet to list your first dance song, cake cutting etc.  In addition, a list of songs that they have however; the list is not inclusi

Pros: Customer service, communication, prompt, brought all their own equipment including lights and bubble machine
Cons: None
We recently got married at Dreams Palm Beach in Punta Cana and when we first started planning we had thought of doing the whole ipod thing, then thought that would be too much work and we would have to delegate someone to start and stop songs during speeches or anything else that might come up, and I didn't want that,and then I started to hear horror stories of ipods not working, or the speakers going all fuzzy. We then thought we would go with the DJ services that the resort offered but were a

Pros: communication, music variety, friendly, organized
We recently go married at the Majestic Colonial in Punta Cana.  Our original plan was to bring an iPod with our playlist on it however in the end we decided to go with DJ Mannia, and we are so pleased that we did!! The communication up to the weddig was fantastic, and when we met at the resort they were super friendly, and really put me at ease that everything would go smoothly. The way we did our setup was the guests would already be out on the balcony (we rented the presidential suite wi

Pros: Kept the party going, responsive to our feedback, helped keep the party on track as the schedule changed
We had a great experience with DJ Mannia. Carlos emcee'd our event and we're SO GLAD he did. Our ceremony ran late, as did our cocktail hour and the timing of food went totally off track. He reacted well and took our guidance on when to play what. We also let them know to play more songs faster (instead of entire songs) and they immediately adjusted. They were so great, especially about going with the flow and adjusting as things changed. Additionally, our guests were dancing the whole time,

I give my highest recommendation to DJ Mannia. All our guests had great compliments about all the music - and we had a range of old and young with several different tastes  and all of them stayed on the dance floor which was awesome. Great Job!

Pros: very helpful with song choices
DJ Mannia did such a wonderful job at my wedding!  So easy to work with, and I couldn't have imagined things going any better than they did. Everyone has been telling me how fantastic the music selection was and how much fun they had dancing.   The dance floor was full all night long!!

Pros: On time, professional, flexible, willing to negotiate
Cons: None
Just wanted to say that we had an amazing time with our DJ MANNIA (Carlos) on our wedding of November 27, 2011 @ the Jellyfish Restaurant.   This DJ really knows how to move the crowd, play top hits and get the party going. During the evening we even got white balloons thrown everywhere - it made things really fun, especially with my guests who were *slightly* tipsy, LOL!   This DJ is also willing to negotiate a price with you based on your specific needs, so don't be alarmed by revi

Pros: Kept the party going. Huge selection of songs. No Language Barrier at all
He hired DJ Mannia or our reception at Majestic Elegance and are so so happy that we did.  He had everyone on the dancefloor the entire night dancing in the pouring rain!! He has a huge selection of music and played whatever we wanted.  Although we didn't have to request many songs as he played top notch music the entire night. If you want to have an incredible kick butt party that your guests will remember for a long time hire DJ MANNIA!!! Feel free to contact me if you have any questi

We hired DJ Mannia last minute for a wedding at Dreams Palm Beach in the Dominican Republic and I cannot say enough good things about those people. They were very prompt at responding to all our questions about the services and the cost. They were very professional and accommodating for everything we needed. We got rain for a part of our wedding and they very quickly setup under a canopy and kept the music rolling. They had the entire party dancing, I don't remember a single person not up and da

Pros: Everything!
Cons: Nothing!
Our wedding at Dreams Palm Beach far exceeded my dreams! Tomas was our MC and he met with us a few days early to go over song choices and what songs for special dances. He not only played every song we had listed (and there were quite a few requests) he came up with perfect songs for the Father/ Daughter & Mother/ Son Dance. We had a unique group as my husband is Hispanic and my family is more country. But they delivered and not one person was sitting! Everyone danced! And to top it off they

Pros: WONDERFUL MUSIC AND CUSTOMER SERVICE
Cons: N/A
We are very pleased with the service of DJMannia in Punta Cana Majestic Colonial Resort.  From the moment that we contracted them through the Internet, they were very professional and helpful.  Before we traveled they contacted us to let them know the music that we like and the one that we did not like and then, at that moment, I knew that they were going to be good!  My daughter prepared a list and they played every single song that she had requested.  Carlos kept the party going and was an exc

Pros: best mix of tunes, good energy
Cons: none
DJ Mannia kept the party hopping at our Excellence Playa Mujeres wedding in June 2011. we didn't have an option because the resort only allowed them as the DJ, but it turned out to be way better than me choosing on my own. They sent me a list of their tunes and i picked some of them and sent a bunch of songs i wanted played that weren't on their list. They had all the songs i wanted and did a great job choosing when to play everything. People were dancing from the salad course until the lights c

Pros: Great music selection, great at appealing to all age groups
Cons: None, they were early and went over and above what we expected
Dj Mannia's Staff was excellent. They went over and above to make sure our night went amazingly well. We only hired them for dinner music, and they had everyone dancing about 1 hour into dinner, people had their shoes off and blisters on their feet the next day!!   I prepaid in full for their services, and they still showed up right on time for our meeting as well as the event. The guys were also great about taking requests from me and my guests. They checked with me on every little detai

My wedding was July 30, 2011 at the El Dorado Royale in Riviera Maya, Mexico. I know it is terrifying choosing a DJ in another country because you aren't sure what sort of music you are going to get. With this company, you are totally safe. They were such a huge part of my wedding being as wonderful as it was.   My husband has traveled the world as a recording artist. Once the DJ found this out he was more than happy to play his songs, which made my husband very happy. At one point, they e

Pros: Good Communication Via Email, Great Lighting Effects, Friendly
Cons: Was Late, Did Not Always Play Music That Was Right for Our Crowd
We married at the Azul Sensatori, which is a resort within the Karisma chain.  We negotiated a rate with DJ Mannia, hired them, and paid Karisma the outside vendor fee.  We give DJ Mannia’s services a C+ because they didn’t seem to “get us” and our type of music; which was the most significant factor when evaluating our DJ.  We specified beforehand no Lady Gaga, Brittney Spears, Akon, Bruno Mars, or bubble gum pop, etc in preference of Seal, Melanie Fiona, Drake, Anthony Hamilton, Jill Scott, Ne

My husband and I were recently married at the Excellence Riviera Cancun.  We used Mannia dj service for our reception.  Carlos and crew kept us dancing all night long!!  Everyone had such a great time.  The communication with Mannia prior to the wedding was the easiest part of all the wedding planning.  I sent an email with a few requests and they all were met without problem or question.  they then used my selections to create a playlist that really kept the party going all night.  My husband a

Pros: Played all of the right songs, kept the party going
Cons: ?
We used Mannia Audio for our wedding at Excellence Riviera Cancun & had so much fun!  I gave them a very short list of artists we liked & they played great music during dinner.  After the cake cutting the party began & they had everyone on the dance floor.  The music was awesome!!  I have no idea what a DJ costs in the states, but it seemed a little high to me.  I would definitely recommend Mannia Audio & would use them again if I had to do it over!

Pros: Music was great, MC was great!
Cons: Nothing!
We hired DJ Mannia for our March 31st, 2011 wedding at the Grand Palladium in Riviera Maya.  We had Carlos as a MC and he was great!  He met with us right before the introduction, made sure we had everyone in order and that he had everyone's name correctly.  They played everyone song as requested and the music during dinner was great (their choice of songs).  When we were running behind on schedule, they gladly made some changes and accomodated us.  They really got the party started, brought out

Pros: They brought the sound system, music, and an MC
Cons: They had a limited music selection, they didn't play the right music for entrance and cake cutting
These guys did not do a stellar job.  First, their appearance was so-so.  They didn't look as sharp as the photographer and videographer from Arecife (Paradisus Punta Cana/Palma Real onsite photographers-- who were awesooooooome!!!!)  Second, they played our first dance song, Green Eyes by Cold Play, instead of Even Better Than the Real Thing by U2 for the introduction/entrance.  You can imagine how high energy and upbeat that was.... snore.  It was all I could do to keep myself from marching ri

Pros: professional, curteous
Cons: more expensive
They were the only DJ we were allowed to use at our resort, so admittedly I was a bit apprehensive because they were more expensive than Doremixx, but they agreed to provide the same things for the same price. The DJ they sent did a good job.  We enjoyed the song selection both during dinner and during the dancing.  We really didn't use him as an MC, so I cannot really comment on that as we skipped the bouquet toss, father/daughter dance, etc...  My only complaints were that we were told that we

Pros: Punctual, Friendly, Accomodating
Thank you DJ Mannia for the best time ever!  We were discouraged at the pricing the hotel gave us for a DJ and looked into outside options and found DJ Mannia!  They quoted us $990 for 4 hours of time which was perfect for us since our reception had to be done by 10pm.  Mannia had great communication with what songs I wanted, special requests, etc. They also confirmed payments and answered any questions I had.  They were very easy to work with and I had absolutely no issues.  They played every s

Pros: friendly, easy to work with, utilized the playlist provided
I used DJ Mannia for my wedding a few weeks ago and they were awesome!  We had them DJ our reception which was 4 hours (we extended the traditional 3 hour time to 4 hours).  I gave them my iPod which I had broken out by song type (dinner, dancing, slow dancing, first dance, etc.) and they did an amazing job of mixing up my songs.  My guests couldn't stop dancing... in fact I think we danced 3.5 hours out of the 4 hours of the reception!  Thanks again for making my wedding day wonderful :)

Pros: KEPT THE MUSIC GOING, PARTY WAS ROCKING
WE WERE HESITANT TO HIRE A D.J., RATHER THAN LIVE MUSICIANS, BUT EVERYTHING WAS GREAT.  ARMANDO AND CARLOS KEPT MY DAUGHTER AND SON-IN-LAW'S PARTY GOING, ONCE IT REALLY STARTED. EVERYBODY DANCED, EVEN THE 87 YEAR OLD GRANDMOTHERS!  THE GUYS WERE POLITE AND EAGER TO PLEASE. SOME OF THE SONG VERSIONS WERE A LITTLE STRANGE, MOSTLY IN A GOOD WAY. I FOUND IT NECESSARY, AT THE VERY START OF THE PARTY, TO ASK ARMANDO TO CUT THE SLOW STUFF AND GET THE PARTY STARTED FASTER, AND HE ACCOMODATED ME

We hired them for our wedding on 10/2 at Dreams Puerto Aventuras----they were awesome!  Professional, curtious, no language barriers and extremely prompt!  All kinds of music available---our crowd danced non-stop (ages 2-65)!  No way an IPOD can compare!  No regrets, hire these guys!
