DJ Dimitri Soteropoulos

DJ Dimitri Soteropoulos has been a professional DJ in the greater Boston area for the past 12 years. With his Nightclub background and Mediterranean flair, he has set himself up as one of the hottest young International DJs in the Boston area.

“I have an huge LOVE for music, I DJ weddings because with my love for music there really wasn't a more perfect fit. My favorite part of the wedding day is the cocktail hour. It gives me a chance to begin reading guests and helps formulate the direction I am going to go later in the evening.”

“I would have to say my most memorable Wedding Moment was doing a double wedding, two sisters married on the same day. It allowed me to really cater to both couples and make sure it was perfect for everyone.”

“If there is one thing that I would want everyone to know about me, it’s that I am the most organized vendor you will work with... hands down!”

DJ Anthony “CASE” Veliz

@djcaseboston [email protected]

Anthony Veliz (DJ CASE), a party rocker in the Boston Wedding and Nightlife Scene, is an open-format DJ with a passion for music and entertainment. He is known to incorporate live mash-ups, scratching, and remixes into his performances.

“Much like DJing a Night Club, I like to see people enjoying themselves to the music that I am given a chance to mix. Weddings, however, do provide a different feel when it comes to DJing because I am able to venture out of my norm (Top-40,Hip-Hop,House) to other genres, like Rock, 70’s, and 80’s. My favorite part of the Wedding day is when the party gets started. Honestly, any part of the wedding where I get people on the dance floor is what I look forward to “

“If I have to chose one moment from my DJ Career as my Most Memorable it would be being chosen as one of the mix-show / on air DJs at 103.3 AMP Radio Boston. I have DJ’d in a lot of places throughout the US, but being picked as a local DJ to be part of that team in my city is a highlight. If there is one thing you should really know about me it would be I love to party with you! Ok... two things, I LOVE tacos!”

“If I had to pick one favorite song to pack the dance floor it would be really hard... There are many to pick from. Not every single event is the same, so being able to pick one song that works for one, may not work for another. This comes with knowing / reading your audience. However, one of my favorite tracks is Yeah Yeah Yeah’s - Heads Will Roll (A-Track & Discotech Remix).”

guests RAVED about the music

We hired Chuck Uglietta from 617 Weddings to DJ our wedding at Misselwood. Chuck was highly communicative, always responding to our emails and inquiries right away. He made us feel comfortable that everything would be taken care of the day of the wedding and was accommodating to our special requests. Both Chuck and the 617 team was extremely professional and our guests RAVED about the music and energy on the dance floor. Highly recommend.

far above our expectations

617 Weddings was our number one pick for our wedding DJ and thankfully Jimmie was available when we called. Jimmie performed far above our expectations. He listened to exactly what we wanted to make sure all of our guests enjoyed themselves. Throughout the night Jimmie adjusted the music to the vibe of the dance floor perfectly. Countless of our guests came up to us during the night and after telling us that we hired the best DJ. We agreed too. Jimmie was without a doubt the best. If you want your guests dancing all night, hire Jimmie at 617 Weddings!

awesome experience with 617

We had an absolutely awesome experience with 617 Weddings — and especially our increeeedible DJ Chris Profenna!! He had DJed another wedding that my now husband and I attended a few years back, and the couple had nothing but rave reviews for him. From the first phone call I knew he would be perfect. By far one of the friendliest, sweetest guys we had the pleasure of working with. He was all about making our experience great and very much "us." The 617 weddings site made it really easy to select all our music, and when we met with Chris to go over the list, it was like he'd already memorized the whole thing 😊 plus it was nice to hear that we made good choices! Chris was so flexible and fun throughout the wedding day, we had no concerns whatsoever. Every second of it — from the ceremony to the dinner toasts and all through the reception — was 100% perfect, and every transition was seamless. We did have a semi complicated request for the mother/son dance (slow song for one minute that went right into a fast-paced one) and Chris absolutely NAILED it. He's truly an expert at what he does. And what makes all that even better is his passion for the job. You can feel how much he loves entertaining people and how genuinely happy he is to be there. He just does everything he can to make sure you don't have a single worry in the world on your wedding day. Anywh... I could go on and on, but I'll end with this: if you have the good fortune to choose Chris Profenna as your DJ, don't even hesitate. You'll have an unforgettable and insanely fun experience! Thank you Chris and 617 Weddings!

Dimitri kept the partying going

One of the best decisions my husband and I made when planning our wedding was hiring DJ Dimitri Soteropoulos from 617 Weddings to DJ. We needed a DJ that could play a mix of both Greek and American music and he nailed it. He played the perfect amount of Greek and American songs and made sure all of our family and friends enjoyed themselves. We were dancing while salad was being served and DJ Dimitri kept the partying going all night! There was never a time when the dance floor was empty. He kept the energy high! The best part about our reception was the wedding party entrances. DJ Dimitri had everyone out of their seats and gathered around the dance floor for all of our entrances. It was like we were walking into one huge party with all of our family and friends dancing and screaming and jumping up and down around us. Once we got to the dance floor, DJ Dimitri had everyone join us dancing for the rest of the song and everyone at the wedding just stormed the dance floor - talk about a way to start a party, it set the tone for the entire night. It was amazing and something we will never forget! Once we got to the reception he took control of the whole night so that we didn't even have to think or worry about what to do next. Dimitri was also extremely organized, professional, and just plain awesome at his job. He was so easy to work with too. And I think everyone knows that a DJ can make or break a wedding, well this one will absolutely MAKE it. If you want to have the best night of your life and not have to worry about a thing, then I'd highly recommend Dimitri! We can't thank you enough Dimitri!!

617 Weddings is hard to beat!

We used Jimmie Espo from 617 Weddings for our 9/21/19 wedding at Renaissance Golf Club. We went with Jimmie because he personally called us when we submitted an inquiry online. He was so interested in our ideas and it got us really excited for our wedding (which was more than a year away that point). The online process they have is really great and allows you to of plan your ideas for the wedding as you go. The wedding was more than we could ever imagined and Jimmie did a great job at getting the bridal party ready for intros, kept my husband and I on our timeline for cake, dances, etc, and even helped our 7 nieces/nephews line up for intros (and they did great)! The dance floor was packed all night and we loved it. Jimmie also gave great advice about whether or not to call attention to certain things throughout the night, such as the early shuttle leaving. People will be talking for awhile about how much fun our wedding was, thanks to Jimmie. Oh and the uplighting totally transformed the room---do it! One piece of advice would be to schedule a final meeting ahead of time to help make sure everything is set. 617 Weddings is hard to beat!

kept the party going

DJ Julio Sanabia of 617 Weddings kept the party going from start to finish at our 9/28 wedding! From personalizing our ceremony to keeping everyone on the dance floor during the reception, he delivered. He was easy to communicate with and gave us his professional opinion to make our wedding perfect! He definitely will get more clients from our reception because all our guests loved him! Thanks Julio!

...he was AMAZING!

We had the experience of working with Danny T and he was AMAZING. I couldn't have asked for a better DJ. I recommend 617 Weddings to anyone out there getting married. When we first got the response back from Danny he was always on top of our e-mails and ready to work with us no matter what. Amazing DJ!! Thank you Danny T for everything, you made our wedding night perfect!!

absolute phenomenal job

I don’t think there are enough words to describe the absolute phenomenal job that Dimitri Soteropoulos from 617 Weddings did at our wedding this past weekend. We got married at Danversport in the main ballroom, and Dimitri’s songs had EVERY SINGLE PERSON on the dance floor the entire night. I gave Dimitri complete musical freedom, only giving a few songs we needed to hear and it was the best decision ever. Dimitri not only is gifted as a DJ, but had an amazing calmness that helped me and my whole bridal party before speeches. My wedding would not have been half as great if it weren’t for Dimitri!! I cannot say enough. BEST DAY EVER!

Chris Profenna was absolutely amazing

DJ Chris Profenna was absolutely amazing at our wedding this Fall. If you are looking for a true professional that can take your event from ceremony to cocktail hour to reception effortlessly, then Chris is your man. Chris did a great job reminding us of all the standard wedding timeline events (ceremony details, first dance, speeches, etc.) but he also readily adapted to our request for a unique introduction style. We were especially grateful that he was able to make our daughter feel extra special and give her a few minutes in the spotlight throughout the night. Chris flawlessly led us through the night until our cake cutting and then got all of our guests on the dance floor and kept them going all night. His music selection was excellent, and bonus: he respected our our do-not-play requests. We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ for our special day. Book Chris now! You won’t regret it!

more than just a DJ!

We knew from the moment we met Jimmie Espo of 617 Weddings at his office that we were hiring much more than just a DJ for our wedding. From the environment 617 created to meet with the many future Mr. & Mrs., to the electronic wedding planners, and consistent email reminders to completing them, and the countdowns as the big day approaches. The thought and organization provided from the beginning was reassuring and impressive. On our big day at the Beauport Hotel, this became even more evident. Jimmie was not only the DJ, but an instrumental part of facilitating our entire day. He engaged the crowd, executed the timing of events, music, the wedding participants, and even helped calm down our very nervous friend acting as a first time officiant just for us. There are so many moving pieces on the day of your wedding, and Jimmie made us feel confident that there was no need to worry, and he and our wedding coordinator would take care of everything. And they most certainly did!! The two worked together to create a completely flawless day for us, that we will forever be so grateful for. Jimmie continued to show his expertise with his song choices on the dance floor and kept everyone moving. I had some concerns that it might be tough getting the crowed going on our Sunday afternoon wedding, but he nailed it! We couldn't sing enough praise for our entire experience with Jimmie and 617 Weddings. You will definitely not regret choosing Jimmie Espo and his team. He helped create the most fun and amazing day we could have ever hoped for!

Where do I even begin!

Where do I even begin! We booked Jimmie Espo of 617 Weddings for our wedding at the Renaissance Country Club on November 2, 2019. We had countless recommendations and heard nothing but the best about Jimmie and his team. I have to say, everything we heard was true. Throughout the whole process we were extremely confident that Jimmie would deliver and he did!! Leading up to the wedding Jimmie was so great to work with. He was extremely personable and professional and made us feel like his true priority. The music selection was by far perfect and the dance floor was packed the entire night. We’re two weeks out from the wedding and family and friends are still complimenting us on how great our DJ was! I 10000% recommend booking with 617 Weddings. They will not disappoint and you will have the best night of your life guaranteed. At the end of the day, there’s no one else we would have rather had DJ our wedding. The day was perfect. The music was perfect. Jimmie was perfect. We’d do it all over again if we could!!

DJ Julio Sanabia WAS THE BEST!

If you are looking for a non stop party look no further! DJ Julio Sanabia WAS THE BEST! Our dance floor was packed from the very beginning until the very end. Having an awesome DJ was a major priority of ours. 617 Weddings was phenomenal. From the beginning first phone call to the day of, they were super attentive and really listened to what we actually wanted! We were set on no traditional wedding music and really wanted a club vibe and let me tell you Julio NAILED IT! We also really needed a Spanish speaking DJ for my Husbands family so it was awesome knowing they had just the guy for us. I highly recommend 617 Weddings. You will not regret it!

...more than just a DJ

Chuck was more than just a DJ. We met with him and laid out the flow of our entire reception, and picked out all the different music to be played throughout. He was the MC, running the show and transitioning from our entrance, to dinner, first dance, and into the party with ease. The music was perfect - Chuck has a way of reading the room, and by the end I don't think there was one person who hasn't danced. I highly recommend Chuck, and 617 Weddings!

We couldn’t be happier!

Our wedding was 11/16/19 at Cruiseport Gloucester. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect experience. Our DJ, Dimitri Soteropoulos, was hands down amazing! Our ceremony music transitioned perfectly and every guest was on the floor dancing all night! The only complaint we heard was how sore they were from dancing so much!! Dimitri was so easy to work with and responded to every email quickly. He was great with our wedding party which consisted of our 7 kids combined! We couldn’t be happier!!!

617 Weddings truly has the best team!!

My husband and I couldn't have asked for a more perfect wedding. 617 Weddings truly has the best team. Danny T completely killed it at our wedding!! He had everyone of all ages, from 9 to 90, on the dance floor the ENTIRE night!! Not only was he so much fun to work with, but he knew exactly what we wanted and delivered it. I'll recommend Danny T and 617 Weddings over and over again. Thank you for making our night so special and magical!!
