Pros: Everything
Cons: None
DJ Mannia is the ONLY way to go for a DJ in Punta Cana. We were VERY fortunate to have German DJ our wedding at The Paradisus Palma Real. He absolutely killed it. From start to finish, the entire dance floor was packed all night long. Any DJ can play songs, but German had such a great feel for when and how long to play certain songs. My only regret is not booking the venue and German for an extra hour because no one was ready to leave the dance floor. He even hooked us up with several "ext

Pros: played all the songs we requested
Cons: none
We just had our wedding at the Royal hotel. DJ Mannia met with us days before to go over the music. He was very patient and had all of the songs we wanted and played them the way a professional DJ does! Outstanding service ! Hats off to anyone who needs him.

Pros: Responsive and great service
Cons: None - we should of kept the party going longer
We decided to hire DJ Mannia shortly after booking our reception at the NOW Sapphire. Joann the sales rep was super responsive to my emails and answered all of my questions. Once the DJ came at 5pm, he set everything up and started playing the music genre we wanted during dinner. Carlos Martinez was amazing and loved how he kept the party moving. Not one person was sitting in their chairs during the entire 4 hours. Because we were having so much fun and Carlos was feeling our energy, we had wedd

Pros: Worth the extra money vs. just going through the hotel, they really deliver a 5 star service!
Cons: Not having them for longer (stole this from the prior post because it is so true)
I just got married 1/15/15 in Punta Cana so luckily it's still fresh in my head!
I can't begin to tell you how amazing DJ Mannia was from the very beginning of communication, through emails, to the moment I met them at my reception. I'm pretty indecisive when it comes to a lot of things and German (who I emailed with) was always super quick at responding to my emails, giving advice, sending photos and allowing me to continue to add things to the package.
I highly recommend doing the LED li

DJ Mannia was amazing on our big day. Unfortunately I didn't get the gentleman's name who was there but he was able to keep us dancing all night long, played great "dinner music", his announcements were flawless and everyone raved about him. So glad we went with an outside vendor!

Pros: On time - Listen to you - Play what you want - Great Service
Cons: We didn't have them longer!
Not having experience planning any sort of destination wedding can be stressful! We had to listen to the recommendations of our planners both in Mexico and Stateside. Thank goodness we did! We were married on 11-22-14 at Excellence Resort outside of Cancun. We are particular about our music and we were concerned we would end up with the run of the mill generic DJ. Instead, we had the most amazing crew who played exactly what we wanted, and took requests with a smile! I couldn't recommend these

Pros: Flexibility, professionalism, fireworks, props, great song selection
Cons: None!
I just had my wedding on December 20th at The Royal Playa del Carmen. We selected DJ Mannia as a recommendation from our wedding coordinator within the resort. She did not disappoint! Our wedding reception ended up having to get moved indoors because of rainy weather, and I thought for sure guests would be let down. I could not have been more wrong. The DJ put extra effort into making sure everyone still had a "beachy" vibe. We had props, limbo competition, such great dance music the entire time

Pros: Fast, knowledgeable, professional, trustworthy, competitive prices, great service!
Cons: none
Planning a destination wedding is stressful enough, but at least you can count on Mannia for making it easy! Joanne was the person handling my requests. She was professional, extremely helpful, she knew exactly what I wanted, and exceed my expectations time and time again. My emails with q's and requests would get responded to within seconds and everything would get finalized just as fast. Working with them was such a great experience and also enjoyable(least i can say with some of the other

Pros: fast communication, very professional
Cons: none
We were pretty happy with them, we ask to meet in person when we got there and they met with us, there was DJ and MC was bilingual so it was perfect. they were very responsive on emails and they had a form for the couple to fill out so they have a better idea of the party and song requests. we made some changes and they got the last song wrong but they were able to find the correct one and fixed it quickly. we also had a light up floor so it made the party a lot more fun since we had a dancing

Pros: Excellent communication
Cons: None
I was recently married at Secrets Capri and hired Mannia Cancun. My communication with Joann was great, and the company is very organzied. Joann came out to meet with us before the wedding day, and she provided us with good suggestions. I provided Joann with a list of songs that I wanted to be played at my reception and the DJ played all of them. They also avoided the songs that I did not want played. The DJ and MC were fantastic. We asked for mainly hip hop, soul, and a little bit of lati

Pros: Very professional and good taste
Cons: None
We had a wedding at Fiesta Americana Grand Coral Beach and had an amazing wedding. Our guest was on the dance floor the whole time till it started raining 10min before the reception ending. Almost everyone was on the dance floor and we were happily surprised that he was able to bring everyone to the dance floor. He totally grasp our taste and our guests loved every song he played. Prior to the wedding when my wedding planner wanted to have a meeting with the venders he was there on time and he t

Pros: On time and played our set of songs
Cons: Messed up the intros
DJ Mannia was great to work with. They responded quickly to my emails and did a good job of communication to any questions we had. The only reason I did not give them 5 stars is that the DJ messed up the intros. We are a same sex couple and he introduced us as Mr. and Mrs. but quickly realized his mistake and fixed it. I know he felt bad about that but we were actually laughing about it. He also kinda bungled the other names in the bridal party (and we had a small group). He also messed up

Pros: Great variety of music, flexible, efficient
Cons: none
We got married at Now Larimar on 8-30-2014. I contracted DJ Mannia's services months in advance because of the majority of positive reviews, and I'm glad I did! We had a group of about 90 people come down to Punta Cana with us, a very diverse group at that, in age and race. Therefore, we needed to ensure we hired a DJ who knew how to mix a good variety of music to entertain the entire crowd. I communicated for several months with the company, who by the way promptly responded to all emails withi

We got married at Excellence Riviera Cancun on 6-12-14 and the DJ Mannia crew did a fantastic job!! There were 4 of them handling the music, lights, microphone for speeches, etc. My husband and I created a specific dinner playlist and a dance playlist and emailed that to them a week before our wedding. They did an excellent job and stuck to our list perfectly!!! We had 34 people at our wedding and everyone was dancing, the dance floor was NEVER empty!!!! Such a blast, and we would definitely rec

Pros: their set up is very nice, DJ/MC were very professional and very nice! good quality systems
Cons: not up to date in customers requests, didnt have correct information after having meeting in person days before event!
Let me start by saying they only played 5 songs out of the list I gave the person I met a few days before my wedding!! it was horrible! I had guests constantly going up to the dj booth to request songs because the ones they were playing were definitely not in our liking! they played the wrong garter toss song which just upset me even more, and to top it off they also played the wrong song for the LAST SONG!!! it was supposed to be our last moment to dance with all of our guests and surprise them

We used DJ Mannia for our wedding in Punta Cana at the Esmeralda Bahia Principe in April 2014. We are so glad we did! He was so attentive to our every need and made sure we were happy with everything. It made a world of difference for our reception and dance. He even made a special speech regarding marriage and love that was specific to us. I would recommend DJ mannia to any wedding! Thank you so much for helping make our wedding extra special, fun and stress free!

Pros: dj/mc they sent was nice.
Cons: amy and carlos martinez did not send the dj/mc my first dance song, they didn't send him our wedding timeline for reception, basically playing off your computer or iPhone without transitioning or with poor transitioning, misleading youtube ad
Hi everyone,
I just had a wedding in Punta Cana on May 8, 2014 at the Barcelo Bavaro Palace Deluxe. It was an amazing wedding, but the only downside was the DJ company I used. I used Dj Mannia because of the great things I've heard about them thru this forum.
HOWEVER, I have to let other brides know about my negative experience because for $1,300 US I was very disappointed at the company.
FIrst of all, the people who I had e-mail correspondence with did not tell me that the DJ is a

Pros: Played great tunes and kept people on the dance floor all night long
I got married at NOW Sapphire in Riviera Maya, Mexico on April 23, 2014 and am not exaggerating when I say that it was one of the best nights of partying I’ve ever had in my life! We hired @DJMannia and it was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Carlos was AMAZING and DJ’d our wedding like it was a club. The dance floor was packed all night long and people were still ready to party when the wedding ended at midnight, so we all headed to the disco and closed it down at 1am, then

Pros: professional

Joann from Mania is a pleasure to work with. She answered all of my emails promptly and was extremely professional. Luis, the MC was fantastic! He got the crowd dancing at the reception and kept them dancing through the afar party. I would definitely recommend Mannia without hesitation.

We got married at the ERC on 4/11/14 and DJ Mannia was great; i had a very specific playlist for dinner and after dinner and for our special songs and Raul Neyra the DJ got everything right! People danced non stop and said it was the best wedding reception ever; the DJ had to slow it down and ask people to sit down bc dinner was being brought out with the promise that the music would be back to dance music right after we were done dinner:) The DJ was easy to work with and followed my cues, playl

Pros: Got our style perfectly!
Cons: none
A+ We chose DJ Mannia and they were fantastic to work with as well. They sent us a list ahead of time to go over our music likes and dislikes, along with specific songs we wanted played or not played. They followed our specs to a tee. The DJ was very chill, which is what we wanted and his English was perfect. They had a couple of cold fireworks that they lit, and it was a really nice touch.

Pros: Listened to what I wanted and played exactly what I wanted the whole night

We got married at the Gran Caribe Real in Cancun on March 1st 2014. The resort let us choose between a couple DJ options and we chose DJ Mannia. Our reception was on the beach with the light up dance floor. I LOVE to dance and asked them to play music to keep everyone on that dance floor! Well, I have to tell you that once the party started, everyone was out on that dance floor until the last song!They were very professional and fun to work with. At one point my brother asked if they were playi

Pros: professional, responsive, courteous, detailed
Cons: none
My husband and I are so glad that we picked DJ Mannia for our Xcaret Park wedding last month. Joanna, Carlos, and their team were so helpful, responsive, professional, courteous.
We chose DJ Mannia after reading many reviews and plenty of research online. We were supposed to have DJ Xcaret for our wedding, but we could not find any reviews or youtube videos on who DJ Xcaret was, so we didn't want to take the risk and we're so happy we didn't.
Their pricing is definately reasonable and

Carlos and his team helped make our wedding one nobody will soon forget! We were going to do the music ourselves to save money but really wanted the lighted dance floor so I contacted Carlos about that. Then we decided we shouldn't cut corners on the music to ensure we had a great time and so didn't our guests. We made the right decision for sure! The dance floor a huge score and so wasn't Carlos!
Carlos and Joann were awesome with pre-event communication and even met us at the resort a few da

Although we wanted to book a DJ for our reception, we were only in the restaurant for supper and a couple dances then switching over to our own private beach bash so decided it would just be easier to set up playlists on our iPhone using the my wedding DJ app. We did however see pictures of the lightup dancefloor with cold fireworks and I fell in LOVE. Booked this through DJ Mannia who was so great with communication. They arrived the afternoon of our wedding to set up. Everyone absolutely loved
