George was FANTASTIC! Certain components of a wedding are definitely more important to some people…read moremore than others. For us, music was our top priority- we wanted to dance the night away (followed by great food, venue, décor etc.). Our one true desire was to have a great time and 5 Star Entertainment truly made that possible. We were very nervous about booking a DJ, (since neither of us had ever really done that before) and while we have been to quite a few good weddings, when we priced out our friends DJ's they were A LOT more expensive (and I remembered that they played the electric slide- despite our friends request so we were nervous that that same kind of mistake would occur at our wedding and we decided to do some research, and the reviews about Five Star were all very good and people reiterated that they really listened to them/followed their instruction and we liked reading that). Five Star Entertainment is a Knot pick, which we liked since clearly The Knot is the equivalent of a bride's bible, the go to place and they did not disappoint. We filled out paperwork, had a definitive layout for how we wanted to be announced, when we'd do the toast, the dances, certain songs that were "must plays" for us, as well as "don't dare play" songs and George really listened to us. I had an idea for our entrance and he made a mix that got the night started off right, he took my idea and cultivated it into something that blew my original suggestion away (while keeping with my idea). The dance floor was packed all night long with music ranging from disco to house. Our wedding was filled with a variety of different age groups, but none of that seemed to play a role in who was/wasn't dancing -matter of fact, I think EVERYONE was dancing. At one point a guest requested a song, which he put on (it wasn't a do not play, it just wouldn't have been a song I would have chosen but it def fit in with the freestyle 80's thing that was on at the time) I made eye contact with George, which was surprisingly easy to do in a room full of people dancing and he immediately mixed in something else- which gave my friend a small portion of a song she wanted to hear, while also giving me the ability to nix it (lol) and the confidence that he was in touch with us.
Obviously everyone thinks their own wedding is the best wedding ever (or at least I hope that is how they feel) not only did we feel that way, we were flooded with calls throughout the week after the wedding and beyond with people telling us the same thing. People had a wonderful time and the phrase" best wedding ever" was used repeatedly. That night surpassed my wildest dreams, expectations and Five Star definitely played a pivotal role in making that night remarkable. Tommy MC'd that night and he was great. He too had his eye on us all night long to make sure we were content with the music selection, the timing of everything and while I felt like he was always present- he wasn't obnoxious with the microphone (I hate when you go to a wedding and the MC doesn't shut up), he wasn't trying to dance with the guests (another pet peeve of mine), they weren't drinking etc. They were all extremely professional. They arrived ahead of time, set everything up in t-shirts and jeans and were decked out in suits and ties before you knew it.
He gave us a preview of our montage, a piping hot entrance remix and the packed wedding dance floor of our dreams. That night was magical, good friends, food, decor and GREAT music. If you are like us and you love to dance and are booking a DJ for the first time, or the first time in a long time, go with Five Star Entertainment-. We look forward to having them DJ many more events for us!
