I have had the privilege of Dejaying for many happy couples over the years. These are just a few that I have been involved with since my time in Ithaca.

Thankyou so much Nicky

You did a totally awesome job at our wedding this summer , July 21st , It could not have been better. Everyone had such a great time and commented on how wonderful your choice of music was & mixing skills too. We all danced and partied right up until the end of the night , it was such a shame that it had to finish.

An extra special thanks for the way that you handled the organising of your part of the day too , it could have been difficult with us in California & you in New York , but you made it so easy and so much fun. Your attitude is excellent!

Please don't hesitate to put us at the top of your list for reccomendations , you are brilliant. Thanks again Nicky.

Dear Nicky,
When I started planning my wedding, I knew one thing, I did not want to have your typical cheesy wedding DJ. I wanted to have real music that real people dance to, not just the same assortment of songs you seem to hear at every wedding. I'm a firm believer that the music at a wedding can really make or break the night. I know a lot of people get a DJ and then hand him/her a list of fifty songs they want to hear. What good does that do? You might as well hook your own iPod up to a stereo system. If you're hiring someone, you want not only their ability to put the music on but also the expertise on what to put on and when to do it--Nicky has that and then some. I wanted someone who could look at my husband's and my taste in music (which isn't really very danceable) and find songs that would match our style, and Nicky did just that.

Our wedding night was amazing. I can't tell you how many people told us it was the best wedding they had ever been to. I really think a lot of that had to do with having Nicky Wood as our DJ. He started with an assortment and quickly read what the crowd was receiving the best. After dinner, nearly everyone was on the dance floor for the rest of the night. It was a blast.

Thanks so much,

Hi Nicky,

Steve and I wanted to thank you again for the amazing job you did at our wedding.. We knew that a big part of setting the scene! for the reception was proper music selection - you made sure it was perfect. All of our family and friends raved about DJ and a few even requested a wedding soundtrack! It was such a great party- we'll have to do it again soon!..... Remember to let us know when you are next in Boston!

Kate Bills Woods and Steve Woods

Hi Nicky!

When we first started planning our wedding, we knew exactly what we didn't want in a DJ - games, props, group dances, etc. We were so relieved and excited once we met with you and realized you didn't want these things either!

Giving you an extensive do-not-play list and a short list of what we did want to hear, you did a perfect job - songs we forgot to put on our play list and songs we never would have thought of but that were perfect for our party The dance floor was full all night, which is how I had always imagined my wedding. So many of our guests commented that our wedding didn't feel like a wedding, but more like a big party, and that was exactly what we were going for.

We cannot thank you enough! We are firm believers that the DJ can make or break the wedding, and ours was a huge success! People are stil! l raving about you, your music choices, and your accent. Thank you again and again!!

Chris and Caroline

Dear Nicky,
We just had to send you a letter to thank you for your awesome performance at our wedding this summer. It was important for us to make the reception an exciting and fun event and that all starts with the music. The music that you played was geared to everyone at the party and you had everyone dancing from our 5 year old flower girl to our 86 year old grandfather. Our family members still can't stop talking about the great music you played and many comment on how our dj made the wedding. We had seen you previously at a friends wedding and knew then that you would be the perfect choice for our wedding!!!

Dear Nicky
When Chris & Melissa first started brain storming wedding ideas, the first thing they were adament about was having you as their DJ. Having a band wasn’t even considered, they would settle for no one but 'Nicky Wood'. You were the first person they booked!
After Saturday night, I can understand why…. you had family & Cornell friends having a great time dancing & celebrating. I don’t think Melissa missed a dance and didn’t stop dancing until the music stopped. The music never took a break-no silly talking, just fun music to dance too for all ages. My poor feet hurt so much that night, but I had so much fun & would do it again in a minute! Thankyou for making the Kalvestrand/Jennings wedding a great evening of celebration.
Julie Kalvestrand (Bride’s mother)


Nicky Thank you so very much for being a part of our wedding celebration. You truly made our wedding fun for all. Of all the weddings we have been to, you are by far the best with mixing songs to keep everyone dancing through the night. Thank you so much! Melissa & Chris

"Having enjoyed Nicky's fabulous Haunt performances and radio shows, we were very excited to learn he also DJ'd for weddings when planning our own reception. Knowing that we had a seasoned professional with worldwide experience was important to us because many of our guests were from the UK. As a result we didn't have to worry about a thing. From the very start Nicky was extremely professional, organized, and attentive to our wishes for our event. During the reception, Nicky's ability to read the crowd and draw from his diverse record collection, combined with his enthusiasm kept the dance floor packed and the crowd moving until the very end of the night. Nicky's professionalism and experience make him a great DJ and his enthusiasm and talent make him the best! Our guests will remember the fun he created for years to come."

Jeff Pelletier & Chris Pasco Nicky,
When we first started looking for a DJ for our reception we were very worried about what we would find (especially since we were looking from Seattle). Most receptions we had been to had given us examples of what we "didn't want" (tacky outfits, hoola-hoops, cheese-ball music) but we had a very particular idea of what we did want. When we found DJ Nicky Wood we were immediately impressed by his response to our email (and our various requests, we wanted 70's and 80's music and were extremely particular about what kind of vibe we wanted) and we hired him on the spot. It was hands down the right decision; Nicky was truly perfect. He kept the party going with the music we wanted and had the skill to find the right music at the right time to keep the party going. The caterers had to kick us out at midnight and NO ONE wanted to leave. We highly recommend him - he is world class and absolutely made our evening perfect beyond our imagination.

Meeting Nicky Wood at The Haunt a few years ago,loving the way he controlled the dance floor,we knew that he was the one to DJ our wedding,the only one who should. Nicky brought tears of joy to our eyes with his personnel touch,he made our wedding such fun,people are still talking about it.He played all the tunes he knew we liked as well as sup rising our Italian families with some Mediterranean classics. Although it felt as though we were the only ones
dancing in a dream,as we looked around we realised that everyone else was partying too ... Thanks to our favorite DJ Nicky Wood!
Nicky,we love you,thank you for the love,time,effort and skill you put into our special day,you made our wedding!

Nicky, from the first song til the last, Nicky Wood had the crowd at our daughter's wedding dancing - so much so that we overflowed the dance floor! Thank goodness we booked him for longer than originally planned. I didn't think we'd last on our feet so long, but the time flew. The music during the cocktail reception was great too. Just right to create a mood, but to stay in the background so folks could talk. We will surely hope that Nicky is available for any future events.

Dear Nicky,
As you well know, hiring a DJ for our wedding reception was something that we approached with a lot of trepidation. Initially, we avoided looking at DJs altogether because of our prior experiences at weddings where the DJ'd music ended up being cheesy and impersonal.
As soon as we talked to you, though, we knew it was meant to be. You put us right at ease with your kind and lighthearted manner, and you took the time to really get to know us - who we were as people, what our tastes in music were, and even the ethnic backgrounds of our families. You worked OVERTIME to get in our unique requests for impossible-to-find songs, nontraditional bouquet and garter tosses, and a spot for a bellydance performance. You made it your personal mission to create a unique musical atmosphere that everyone would enjoy.
As for the reception itself? I think the best quote came from a nine-year-old guest, who exclaimed, "I wish it would never end!" That sentiment has been echoed by many of our guests ever since. You have a talent for feeling out the right music for the moment, and the experience to make everything perfectly seamless. The party was absolute magic, and we owe it all to you. Thank you.
Love,
Catherine Casey and Tom Morrissette

Nicky was the best possible DJ we could have asked for. He played exactly what we wanted and got everyone shaking there arses on the dance floor. Even my grandparents. I would give anyone his number in an instance. Thanks for making are special day just that bit more special.
Cadi and James Tierney-Fitzgibbon

"Nicky, we are still getting letters and calls about what a great job you did at our wedding...I believe the reception is all about the happy couple, but it was amazing looking around and seeing that our guests were being taken care of and YOU were the main reason!!! Thanks so much for taking our song suggestions to heart and playing them for us. You really know how to feel the crowd, something a lot of DJs don't do...you saw what kept them happy and went with it...even with the "handicap" of a noontime wedding on a boat, you made it feel like it was midnite at a great dance club...you are the WOODMAN !!!"

TOP PHOTOGRAPHERS LUKE WALKER & ROBERT KAUSSNER meet NICKY WOOD at THE HAUNT!

This is the first time (but certainly not the last) Nicky has graced the blog, so for those of you who don't know... DJ Nicky Wood here in Ithaca is the best DJ in CNY. Nicky is a friend of mine, so myself and Robert Kaussner decided to go out last night and watch him tear the roof off THE HAUNT. In addition to Nicky being a friend, we also get to work together at weddings so it's always good to stay in touch and see each other (which we don't do enough of, so hopefully this starts a change in that!).

I know past couples have used Nicky and there are couples reading this for 06 who are using Nicky, If you aren't using Nicky and haven't booked anyone yet...... well you know who I like ;)
