Book DJ Taso For The Best Greek American Wedding Experience in New Jersey, Philly, & Beyond!

Greek American weddings are well known for their lively celebrations, delicious food, and vibrant music. One of the most important aspects of a Greek wedding is the music, and a Greek American DJ such as Taso can make all the difference. In fact, in this niche category of DJ’s, Taso has become one of the most sought after Greek Wedding Dj’s not just in NJ/NYC/Philly, but throughout the country, and has helped couples in over 15 states have incredible celebrations, including popular areas such as Florida, Texas, Chicago, Ohio, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina and Connecticut to name just a few!

First and foremost, aside from specializing in Weddings as whole, the best Greek Wedding DJ’s such as Taso, are often highly skilled full time Professional Wedding DJ’s who also have a deep understanding of Greek music and culture. One of the most important aspects of Greek wedding music is the concept of “kefi,” which can be translated as “spirit” or “passion.” Kefi is all about creating an atmosphere of joy and celebration, and it’s something that DJ Taso knows how to do better than anyone else. Taso will keep the party going nonstop, seamlessly blending cultures, genres, songs, and traditions in a way that flows and represents the couples desired vision and balance, as well as keeps guests engaged and excited all night long!

The most common traditional dance style at a Greek Wedding is called a “kalamatiano”. Typically, a Greek American Wedding will open the dancefloor up with a kalamatiano titled “Orea Pou Einai I Nifi Mas”. From there a medley of other popular kalamatiana songs are incorporated so that all the guests can join the line and enjoy themselves on the dancefloor with the couple! What sets a skilled Greek American DJ like Taso apart from others is his ability to create a lively medley of kalamatiana favorites that are mixed seamlessly and on step so that the line continues to grow as opposed to being cut short due to an improper mix or poor song choice that creates confusion on the dancefloor. In some cases, a traditional Kalamatiano can go on for 20+ minutes (up to the couple of course), so having a great DJ who knows how to properly mix this traditional style is crucial!

Another important aspect of Greek wedding music is the tradition of “zeimbekiko” (or “zebekiko”), a slow, improvisational dance that is usually shared by the bride and groom, as well as family and friends. The zeimbekiko is a deeply emotional and personal dance, and it’s something that the DJ needs to handle with care. A great Greek Wedding DJ will know how to choose the right music for the zeimbekiko and create a moment that the couple will never forget. Whether you seek to incorporate a small touch of zeimbekika at your wedding, or 30 minutes of Non Stop Zeimbekika, Taso has the knowledge to ensure the best songs are chosen for that crowd and mixed seamlessly to keep the moment going as long as needed! Aside from the zeimbekiko, there are other traditional dances from different parts of Greece that require in depth knowledge to incorporate properly! From the age of 9, Taso participated in Greek Dancing classes and competitions, so couples can rest assured that he is knowledgable in a variety of different traditional dances from various parts of Greece.

Of course, the very best Greek Wedding DJs don’t just play traditional Greek music. Greek Pop/Club music is often as equally important as traditional songs. Taso stays up to date on his library of Greek Music to ensure a high energy atmosphere for the couples seeking that vibe or looking to sing along to their favorite songs from their travels to Greece in the summer!

More importantly, the most sought after Greek American DJ’s not only know the best Greek Music, they must also know how to mix in popular American dance music from a variety of genres, from pop and hip hop to salsa and reggaeton, or EDM and Throwbacks… as well as possibly need to incorporate other cultures into the mix if necessary!
