Wedding DJ at GreatHorse in Hampden, MA
Getting married at GreatHorse? We've been behind the booth there many times — it's one of the venues we know best, just minutes from our East Longmeadow headquarters. Hilltop views, an elegant ballroom, and a dance floor your guests won't want to leave.
Your wedding DJ for a GreatHorse wedding
MARX entertainment has DJ'd hundreds of weddings across the Springfield area — including many at GreatHorse. Perched on a hilltop in Hampden with sweeping Pioneer Valley views, it's one of Western Massachusetts' most striking wedding venues, and we treat it that way: a venue we know, not a venue we're figuring out.
Because GreatHorse is essentially in our backyard — our headquarters is one town over in East Longmeadow — your DJ arrives early, knows the drill, and coordinates directly with your venue coordinator on load-in, timeline, and setup. No travel-day surprises, no learning curve on your wedding day.
What a GreatHorse wedding day looks like with MARX
Many GreatHorse couples hold their ceremony outdoors to take in the views, then move inside for the reception. We cover the whole arc: a separate battery-capable ceremony sound system with mics for your officiant and vows, cocktail hour music while you take photos, and a reception DJ/MC who manages introductions, toasts, special dances, and keeps the dance floor moving until the last song.
Want to dress the room? Most couples pair their DJ with uplighting matched to their palette, a photo booth for cocktail hour and after-dinner, or monogram projection on the dance floor. One team, one point of contact.

What Springfield-area couples say
"We hired MARX Entertainment for our wedding and we're lucky enough to get Alonzo. His ability to adapt throughout the night was exceptional. He was an integral part in our night being as perfect as it was."
"MARX entertainment was great! We were so happy we used them for our wedding. They were quick to respond to all our phone calls and emails and their website let us set up playlists and timelines for the wedding. Our DJ was there for any questions or special requests we had and did a wonderful job the day of the wedding!"
