Cory is a top Boston based party DJ, A Berklee School of Music graduate (BA Music Business) and President of Murray Hill Talent.

As an accomplished musician, performer and songwriter, Cory has recorded and toured throughout the US , Canada and Europe for Warner Brothers and Monolyth Records. Cory also has an extensive background in Music Production & Engineering and has contributed music to MTV’s “Laguna Beach”, Fox TV’s “Dawson’s Creek”, and the “International Spy Museum Music Catalog”. He has performed live at many New England radio stations including WBCN, WFNX, WAAF and WERS.

His extensive background in private event management and coordination gives Harding an edge over most mobile disc jockeys. Cory devotes much of his time to expanding his music collection, sharpening his skills and staying in touch with up to the minute music trends. His technical background in music production/engineering, staging and lighting means that he can rise to the challenge of any occasion.

Cory’s approach is confident, upbeat, refined and stylistically low key. The music he chooses is based on a combination each client’s musical vision, guest reactions and the general aesthetic of the event. His ability to transcend the “generic-over-played” standards that so many DJs resort to is at the heart of his style.
Cory’s philosophy is to properly pre-plan each private function, ensuring that both client and artist are on the same page concerning the organization of the event. He arrives on site early with the highest quality equipment and a large collection of music gleaming with unmistakable diversity.

"Cory was excellent! He was just the DJ we were looking for! He was cool and easy going. We had people on the dance flor all night. That is a sign of a good DJ!"
Jessica & Carlson Mozdiez, 6/18/11, Turner Hill Mansion, Ipswich, MA

“We Just wanted to say thanks for doing such a great job at our wedding. You kept things moving forward nicely without overpowering the room. Great song selection as well! The uplighting made all the difference in the world, I would absolutely recommend you to all of our friends.  Thank you so much”
Joe & Tiffany Pappalardo, 2/5/11 Zorvino Vineyards, Sandown, NH

“We were looking for a DJ that would act professional and do a great job.  We wanted someone that wouldn't "take over" the reception with the stereotypical DJ announcements, games, etc.  It was important that the DJ played the kind of music we wanted and made the crowd happy. Several of my wedding guests told me he was the best wedding DJ they've ever heard--even the "old folks" loved the music! As soon as dinner was over the guests made their way to the dance floor and stayed there ALL night.  We liked that Cory took requests from guests, but also stuck with the "play" and "do not play" list we supplied him with.”
Caroline Reynolds and David Cevolani, 10/23/10, Fairmont Copley Plaza, Boston, MA

“Thank you so much for doing such an excellent job as our DJ. We know some of our picks for music were unorthodox, but you made it all sound great and kept everyone on the dancefloor! We will be sure to reccommend you and Murray Hill to all of our engaged friends! Thanks again !
Jim Pacella 10/16/10 State Room -Boston, MA

“We had a great experience! Cory was wonderful to deal with and made the evening go perfectly. We would recommend Murray Hill (especially Cory) to others. Thank you!”
Chrissy Siciliano, 8/13/10, Willowdale Estate, Topsfield, MA

“Now that we've recovered from the wedding, we wanted to send you a big THANK YOU! If our wedding is now being referred to as "the best wedding ever", it has a little bit to do with me, JP and the shots of green chartreuse and a lot to do with your fabulous DJ-ing skills. I swear, half of France is prepared to send you across the Atlantic to do their weddings! Thanks for kicking off the party and keeping it going until midnight. You did a fabulous job reading the room (not an easy feat with so many different nationalities) and everyone (even my mother) was dancing. Please let us know if you want us to write any kind of special testimonial for your marketing materials or please feel free to quote us.  We will totally recommend you to any friends looking for a DJ.”
JP & Court Riss, 6/26/10, Cambridge Multicultural Center-Cambridge, MA

“Just wanted to circle back with you and thank you again for taking care of all our entertainment needs on our wedding day.  The string trio ensemble was excellent and the cocktail hour tunes were great as well.  What really made the night though was the late night dance party that you orchestrated.  Many of friends/family have commented how much fun that was and how perfect the tunes, lighting and vibe were in the club at Locke-Ober.  We'll certainly be back to you when we decide to throw an anniversary or b-day party!”
Gavin & Kelly Macomber, 2/6/10, Locke-Ober, Boston, MA

“Cory was excellent..came as advertised. Could not have asked for a better performance”
Ken & Jen Kilduff, 7/4/09 Turner Hill Mansion, Ipswich, MA

“We had the BEST time at our wedding! We have received so many compliments about the music! Some of my engaged friends have asked for your info! Also I LOVED the lighting for the dance floor I really think it stepped it up a notch! Thanks again for helping to make our wedding so awesome! I really wish I could do it again.
Jesse & Katie Ahern, 6/20/09 Commandant’s House, Charlestown, MA

“We just got back from Mexico, and we still can't stop talking about the wedding and how awesome it was. The music was a HUGE part of that. Throughout the reception, I got so many compliments on you and the music - you did a fantastic job. So we just wanted to thank you again for everything you did for us before and during the wedding!!”
Emily & Colin, 11/15/08 Club Longwood, Brookline, MA



“Everyone commented on how great you were and the music selection got people up early and often. I think the only time we had an empty floor was for the last dance (damn you, bus driver guy). Anyway, just know that if you ever need a reference please don't hesitate to call/email Rachael or me. Cory and Murray Hill are at top of our list when people come asking.”
Dan Cordella, 10/11/08 Willowdale Estate, Topsfield, MA


“Flawless, professional and seamless!!!”

Julie Reeves, 9/23/08 State Street Corporation, Museum of Science-Boston, MA

“We would like to thank you for helping us create such a fun, relaxed and intimate atmosphere on our wedding day. We were very impressed with your services and with your demeanor when meeting us initially to discuss our wedding plans. You took the time to listen and understand what we wanted and captured that perfectly at our wedding. Your professional, unobtrusive style was a great match for us. We appreciated your arriving early, your tasteful announcements and subtle humor, and of course your excellent selection of music always seeming to play the right song at the right time. We would and have highly recommended you to others who are approaching a wedding day or other special event. In fact, many of our guests commented to us on how much they liked you as our DJ.”
Jim & Amy, 9/6/08 Millridge Manor-Moosup, CT

“You really did a fantastic job for our wedding! People got on the dance floor and didn't stop! We were even commenting how Steve's 85 year old aunt was dancing to some rap song! It was really fantastic and yes we would hope to have you to celebrate our 50 year! Again, really great job! We would totally recommend you to our friends looking for music.”
