It's been a couple of years since DJ Alan hosted my wedding, but after attending multiple weddings since, I can confidently say I still haven't had a better experience than with him! Most DJs focus on just the music and barely MC the event, but DJ Alan went above and beyond. He truly connected with our guests, kept the energy high, and made the whole day feel seamless and personal. I still recommend him to all my friends, and it finally hit me that a written Yelp review was long overdue! Side note: He even made a YouTube commercial (@apmeade) that completely sold me on his services -- definitely check it out! read more

We hired Alan for my daughter's 16th birthday dance party. I can't say enough about how the service and how much fun we all had! At least half of the guests (16 yo teens) said "Alan, the DJ was awesome. Way better than any other parties we've gone to and the music was on point!" Alan can really make the party and keeps the energy up!! Worth every penny and more! Thank you -Very Professional. Check -Extra effort and lots of energy. Check. -Easy to work with and accomodating.

I asked my coordinator for a recommendation for a DJ who could master a diverse wedding celebration, and I learned about DJ Alan. I scheduled a Skype session with Alan, and I immediately knew he was the DJ for us. Alan did an amazing job on the day of getting everyone feeling energized (on a Sunday wedding), while also delivering the classiness I wanted for the celebration. The timeline got rushed a bit (for venue related reasons), and Alan handled it all with finesse. Importantly, I absolutely loved working with him leading up to the big day. Thank you Alan!! read more

You couldn't ask for more consummate professionals than Alan and his lovely wife, Lacey. Alan's experience showed in every detail. Alan is so much more than a DJ.; he's a Master of Ceremonies! The pre-wedding planning offered great advice and ease of use in selecting music. We relied on Alan's expertise so that all attendees would have a lovely evening and the flow made for a perfectly paced event. The wedding reception flow was expertly handled which made for the perfect party! Alan and Lacey bring skill and joy to their business and I recommend them highly. read more

Professional. Check Extra effort. Check. Easy to work with. Check. On-time. Check. Take advantage of Alan's many years of on-stage professional experience to make your event amazing and most importantly, run smooth. We used Alan to not only provide DJ services but also MC our 30th high school reunion. From the booking process all the way through to the end of our event, everything was, well... easy. After reviewing his website and other Internet searches, it was clear Alan has made a career in this business and is also a star behind the microphone. We also booked his photo booth which was run by his beautiful wife. The photo booth was a great addition to our party. They showed up with everything needed for the event. All we did was book our date, then followed his planning process which walked us you through every step of the reunion timeline. In addition to music selection, Alan made suggestions and shared ideas about things he has seen work at similar events to enhance our guests' experience; ideas we had not considered that added nice touches to our reunion. Thank you Alan and team at 5 Star Mobile DJ! read more

From beginning to end Alan was awesome! He made the music selection process so fun and simple! He was also very responsive in all methods of communication which is great for an a-type bride like myself! Not only was awesome in the planning process, he seriously made our wedding SO much fun and SPECIAL! He captured some of our most precious moments and made all of our guests feel included (which was amazing for my international guests). I feel like Alan and his team are family now! read more

So, i completely forgot to give my DJ a rating so here it goes: when we 1st met Alan he made us feel very comfortable, he was very easy to talk to and funny as well. Our meeting went smoothly and never did he pressure us to chose him as our DJ. He had many great suggestions and ideas. Of course we decided on him and we are so glad we did. We didnt have a large wedding budget but Alan worked with us and we got great package for what we could afford. Nowadays you pay for your own wedding and being as young as we were, we had to really watch our budget. The day of our wedding 10-11-13 was amazing. He was very professional about his work, there were no incidents at all. He set up around my ceremony area (outside) as well as in the venue. We chose to do a little bit of uplighting and I loved it. Alan was full of energy the enitire night, he kept the party going. Of course our choice of music helped lol. He didnt yap all night or sound that terrible horn that most DJs do thruought their sets. (Thank goodness) Anyway Alan did such a great job we couldnt say goodbye, we paid for another half hour with the money we got from our "money dance." It was thee best night ever, til this day we get compliments about having the funnest and best wedding ever. We definitely partied hard and were so glad we went with him. Thanks Alan for the great memories and awesome music, you had it crackin!!! read more

We met Alan and Lacy at the Mission Inn Bridal Show in Riverside. We knew he was the DJ for us within 5 minutes! He is so cool and down to earth. Before our wedding, he met with us for 3 WHOLE HOURS at Starbucks to run through every detail and every song to make sure everything was perfect. He even made some suggestions to help us keep the party going throughout the long night. He offered to edit several songs for us to make sure they were perfect for the special moments (e.g., processional, first dance and grand entrance). We were married at the San Diego Safari Park, which has a lot of restrictions on vendor access and can be a very complicated venue. Alan handled the logistics so professionally, and never missed a beat. When the big day finally came, he was absolutely perfect! He gave us a big hug and a big smile and kept the party going all night long. What was most important to us is that our guests LOVED him! He would get out on the dance floor and show us all a new group dance. He played every song we asked for. The music was one of the best parts of the whole night. Lacy was great at the photo booth! We were so happy that we decided to get the whole package because it gave our guests something to do after they were done eating, or during the money dance. We absolutely love Alan and 5 Star Mobile DJ and highly recommend him! Love, The Dickeys read more

Our wedding day was amazingly stress free in thanks to our highly trained and professional vendors with Alan being one of them. Alan was recommended to us by my husband's friend, whom is also a wedding DJ, since my husband's friend already had a booking for the day of our wedding. My husband's friend stated that Alan was the only DJ that he would use when he got married. For a wedding DJ to make that statement was huge to us. Alan was amazingly professional yet super relaxed, down to earth, and fun to work with. We were vibbing with him right away when we first met him to discuss our playlist and what we were expecting. Alan is not only a great DJ, but he's also a kick butt MC and coordinator. He kept the timing of the party and did such great job keeping the party going that even my husband's 90 year old grandfather was jamming out on the dance floor. Remember the you get what you pay for. Been to many a weddings where the dance floor is empty because the DJ couldn't figure out the crowd or just was train wrecking the entire way through the reception. Alan is not just a DJ. He's also the guy that's MCing your wedding and making sure that everyone is having a superb time. read more

Alan dj'd my wedding and did a phenomenal job! From the very first contact, he was professional, had great energy and enthusiasm about his work, I was immediately impressed. I didn't interview any other djs after our first phone call. He made planning easy. Prices were fair. Be clear, he is not just a dj, he is a master of ceremonies... and that's what you want for your wedding. Anybody can play music, few can facilitate an event like a wedding, there is an art to it... and he's mastered it. I love to watch people in their gifting... he's got it... whatever it is you want for your wedding, look no further... he will make you feel comfortable, he will deliver the experience you envisioned. While planning my wedding, I found that many creatives (make up artists, photographers, etc) are good at their craft but aren't also organized and communicative or have a business acumen... but Alan does. You won't have to worry about him being unresponsive or overlooking details or being late. He's an ideal vendor and made the difference at my wedding. When you're thinking about skimping on a dj/master of ceremonies... don't do it! Hire the best and you'll thank yourself later. read more

DJ Alan is amazing! I could not possibly imagine any DJ that could ever or would ever be better. Even when we went in for our planning meeting at the Mission Inn our coordinator told us that Alan was the best out of all of their vendors--she said that he was so organized and on top of his game that he made their jobs easier! Alan truly cares about each of the couples that he DJs for and he is really wonderful about helping you to see through the vision of your event. We were doing a Halloween themed wedding, and not only did he dress up like the Phantom of the Opera for us, but he also watched the movies so that he could included some of the lines and dialogue into his announcements. During the dinner, he would stand over tables ominously and really added a great spooky feel to our reception. He also was great at suggesting songs that could fit our theme and protected our song list, so that no one could suggest a hokey pokey or chicken dance :) He is also wonderful with organization. When you book him (not if, but when), he has a computer program where you can put all of your information for what dances you want and organize all of your songs selections by when you want them played and if they are a must or a maybe. He has amazing ideas to keep the party fun too! In order to give away the centerpieces, he made a game where one person ties a knot in their napkin and the guests at the table play "hot potato" until the music stops and the person left holding the napkin wins the centerpiece. He also suggested an anniversary dance, where all the married couples dance and he eliminates them by years married until the last couple standing (the longest married), gives you some advice on married life. Of all the things I stressed about over the wedding, DJ Alan was never on that list. He is not just a DJ, but a friend helping you get through the process of your wedding and making it the best party that you could ever imagine! I would stop reading yelp reviews, and just book him right now! read more

5 Star Mobile DJ Service - Don't let the straight face fool you--he is the nicest and most helpful DJ you could imagine! We love DJ Alan!!! - DJs Near Me

Where do we start with Alan!? He was absolutely AMAZING. We received so many compliments the day of and are still getting them about him! We met with him beforehand to talk about preferences, and both times we met he was so clear and helpful. He was good about explaining what he was going to do, and giving us suggestions when we asked. One of the things that makes him so good (I think) is his musicality. He has a really good ear for music and what flows together. Combine that with his personality, and his ability to read the crowd, and it was such an amazing night! Alan even showed up early before our ceremony to wish us the best, and during the reception he kept things moving with the right variations of songs and styles. Who gets to eat at their wedding? We did! Alan made sure to let the guests know we would be eating, but in a professional and witty way! He announced the different events, walked us through what needed to happen, and gauged the crowd on what songs to play when. We had such a great experience with him, we're recommending him to everyone. Just hoping we get another party opportunity to celebrate with him again! read more

I am SO glad I picked Alan for my wedding! He is so friendly and personable. I'm kind of on the shy side, but he helped me coordinate what to do when for the reception and helped with music choices. I didn't hire a wedding coordinator, so I was glad he was fast to respond to emails which is a huge plus for a stressing bride! I was afraid my wedding guests may not go up on the dance floor since over half of the guests were a bit older, but Alan got everyone up and on their feet! He knew the perfect songs to play depending on the vibe of the room. I'm so happy I picked Alan for my wedding, so you should too! You won't be disappointed!! read more

Alan went above and beyond expectations as our cocktail hour and reception DJ. He is flexible, accommodating, and easy going. And when it's show time, he gives 110%! The online planning tool was helpful for organizing our ideas and music interests. He's got a great way of leading people with grace and poise. Thank you Alan, you're awesome! read more

Recently, I had the pleasure to work with Alan from 5 Star Mobile DJ Services and I must say his work is OUTSTANDING !!! His skill, knowledge of his equipment and customer service ethic is second to none that I have seen nor experienced. As a professional photographer, I have photographed many weddings over the years and we are plagued with vendors that just do not care about their clients. This is certainly NOT the case with Alan and 5 Star Mobile DJ. He aims to please everyone at the event and I cannot recommend him high enough. 10 star recommendation if they would let me go that high. Rick Avery, Photographer Rick Avery Photography www.facebook.com/rickaveryphotography read more

Alan is one of the best DJ we have come across. He is very attentive throughout the whole process. The planning process in picking songs on the website is very easy. After sitting down with Alan to discuss the order of events at the wedding, we knew the night would be perfect. Even our venue was impressed with how easy Alan made it for their coordinators. We were running late during the reception and Alan was very attentive on helping us move all the events along. All of our guests loved the music, the games, the lighting (especially the gobo), and the atmosphere Alan helped create. We still get compliments to this day about how great the wedding and reception was. 5 star Mobile DJ played a big part in that. Alan went above and beyond for us. He took a song list of Middle Eastern music, that was given to him an hour before the ceremony started, and played the list as if he has always played that genre of music. A big plus for us was that Alan demonstrated the steps in the Cha Cha slide and Cupid Shuffle. Our guests loved that and the dance floor was full of Cupid Shufflers. My wife and I recommend 5 Star mobile DJ for all your DJ needs. DJ's make or break a wedding reception. Alan will make yours and then make it even better. read more

This is my very first review on yelp and I joined in 09! I finally got with the times...But only because I had to write a review for such a great guy and awesome DJ! Alan has such a great attitude and personality. He is absolutely professional and all around great guy. Being our DJ was just a plus! I would pay to hang out with him hee hee! My hubby and I hired him for our 3/22/13 wedding in OC and would hire him again in a heartbeat! We love you Alan! Thanks for making our wedding so memorable! read more

I have been a photographer and have been to hundreds of wedding. I am here to tell you that Alan from star Mobile dj is one of if not the best I have ever seen. Really a super nice guy and an amazing DJ. I hope I get a chance to work with him again. read more

At first, I was very wary of the price of DJ services. I told my fiancee before we met with Alan, "why can't we just plug in an ipod and play whatever we want?" I was just so down on the idea of spending money on someone playing songs. What I didn't realize was that there are wedding DJs who play music and sit back lazily....and then there's ALAN. He was, in a word, AMAZING. I can't count all the ways in which he held our event together and helped us create the perfect, most memorable evening through music. As a lesbian couple (his first, wooo!) doing a Harry Potter themed wedding, we were nervous that our wants might not match up with his or that he wouldn't want to play the specific songs we wanted and say the things we needed said to keep the night moving. We were so wrong! Alan went off our scripts for our "Snitch Toss" and "Horcrux Hunt" and made them even better adding his own flair. He was the one who made sure we were ready to enter for the reception and double checked that our songs were correct. He kept the party going the entire night. It wasn't just some guy hiding behind a table flipping through songs - this was an entertainer. He even walked around the room greeting everyone! And included a few call-outs to specific tables, which was such an adorable, fun touch. Everyone else has already raved about Alan's setup and online system, both of which were fantastic, so I won't bore you with more praise, but seriously, this guy rocks. I don't know what we'd have done without him!!! Thank you SO MUCH for making our wedding and reception magical. :) read more

Alan was amazing from day one. I went looking through several Djs for my wedding and I finally stopped when I found Alan! He is professional, organized, and open to communication! He's so good at giving ideas, but he is also very respectful of your wishes and ideas. I had a very small intimate wedding and he made everyone feel comfortable and alive at the same time. He will play any genre or language that you want or need. If he doesn't have it, he will get it for you!! I highly recommend. I also rented the photo booth, the quality of the pictures in the photo booth is amazing and you can customize your own logo on the print outs :) thank you Alan for helping make our wedding day so much easier and fun :) -Argumedo's read more

When it comes to DJs and MCs Alan is your man. My husband and I could not have dreamed of a more perfect company to DJ and MC our wedding at the Misison Inn in March 2014. First off, Alan met with us 2 weeks before our wedding and helped up plan every single detail of our music and timeline. He was extremely patient, and had so many great ideas I had never even thought of. He let me have what I wanted but gave me his professional opinion at the same time. It was exactly what we needed. Alan, was very prompt in getting back to us via email or phone. He was always so nice when it seemed like I was bugging him daily :). When it came to our wedding day Alan was PERFECT. The music was everything we had discuss precisely and his MCing skills are amazing. He seriously knows how to get a party going, but at the same times remembers that it is a serious occasion and your special day. He made sure to communicate with out throughout the night and treated every guest as if they were in his own home. Alan even gets on the dance floor with you and teaches your guests dances. When it comes to DJs/MCs look no further. Alan is your man! read more

What can I say about DJ Alan Paul that hasn't been said about Chocolate Souffle? He is smooth as the summer breeze and super light and fluffy, by which I mean he very easy going. Plus he has a voice of pure audible chocolate! I hired him for some voice over work and he rocked the mic! This man is super knowledgable and gave me exactly what I needed for my project. I have had the privilege of working many live events with him and they have all gone smoothly thanks to his professionalism and ability to read a room. This is a man with the Plan, a true Master among Masters of Ceremonies. This man can rock the mic and the stage! Thank you Alan! read more

Alan is wonderful! He DJed our wedding this past September he was fantastic. We didn't have a wedding planner so he took control and helped us run the ceremony and everything worked out perfectly. He was also amazing in the planning stages and was easy to get ahold of and answered all of our questions. For the wedding he had great lighting for the dance floor and kept the pace of the wedding running smoothly. Our guests loved the centerpiece game and all of the great energy that Alan gave to the party. I highly recommend Alan for any event you need! read more

Alan is FANTASTIC! He is very professional, easy to contact, and a great DJ. Alan kept the dance floor FULL all night. Alan was able to read the crowd and get a feel for what kind of music we wanted. He is the perfect MC and kept the crowd going. He even got traditional Italian music to play upon our request. Alan took an extra step to get to know us as a couple and what our families were like. Made the wedding process so easy. Alan, you will be at our next party! Thank you so much! Laura & Tony read more

Alan is a total pro who really knows the ins and outs of putting together an amazing wedding. He's not only a DJ, but an MC as well!

He's very understanding and great at explaining everything that will be going on. Alan is very kind and patient, which makes working with him very easy.

Alan Meade is the best wedding DJ I have seen... Hands down. When we booked him for our wedding we could tell he would be good, and he ended up being excellent. He will work with you to craft the perfect wedding day. Everything went off without a hitch thanks to him. Alan set the mood during the cocktail hour and dinner, and got everyone on the dance floor during the reception. On the microphone he is entertaining and lively. I strongly suggest you give him a call you won't regret it. read more

Alan was absolutely awesome to have as our DJ on our wedding. I really could not ask for anything more. Our group was dancing the whole time and were celebrating till the end of the night. I really feel like he brings great energy and has a great feel for the guest who are at your wedding and is really helpful throughout the whole process leading up to the wedding day. I highly recommend Alan for your wedding Thank you so much Alan. Me and Katrina appreciate everything! read more

We had Alan at our Holiday Party and he was just plain awesome! Got the group up and dancing. Very professional from the beginning, prompt arrival, there to help, interacted with the crowd, and added a ton of fun to the event! Seriously, you can't go wrong with this guy and after 10 years of running our annual holiday event, we have had a few go wrong! We definitely will be using him again! read more

Alan is awesome! My husband and I were planning our wedding from out of state, and so only talked with him on the phone before booking. But that was enough for us to know that Alan was fun, energetic, and up to the task of keeping our party going. We had multiple people tell us it was the most fun they had had at a wedding in a long time. Alan was always quick to respond to emails, and clearly cares about his couples. He went out of his way to gauge our taste in music and our vision for the big day, and he came through in every way. Highly recommend! read more

It was about three days before my event and I needed a DJ!!! I left a vm for Alan knowing that he was most likely booked that Saturday and asked if he knew anyone GOOD he could refer me to. About five minutes later I received a call from a DJ (referred by Alan) who was able to do my event that coming Saturday! I thought that was awesome!!!!! ...AND, the DJ was pretty great!!! Lots of friends and family were complementing and asking for his card. Big THANK YOU Alan!!!! read more

There is a reason Alan gets 5 stars and great reviews every time. We just had our wedding a few weeks ago and it was awesome. Not only was the dance floor never empty, he is so friendly and professional. The guests loved him, the staff at the venue loved him, and the wedding coordinator loved him. He met with us prior to make sure everything went smooth and he did exactly that. We couldn't be more pleased. read more

From the planning process to the execution, Alan (5 Star Mobile DJ) was spot on in every step of our wedding at the Mission Inn. Alan genuinely cares about his clients and has the main goal of making your event turn out the way you picture it. Alan is very prompt in replying to any of your inquiries and is very educational in ALL types of music. We knew we made the right DJ selection for our wedding the minute we sat down and met with Alan. Everything about our experience with 5 Star Mobile DJ was smooth and professional from start to finish. We thought the reception might get pretty dull since we thought most of the guests at our wedding weren't really dancers. Well, we were wrong.....Alan had EVERYBODY in the room dancing until the very end. We heard great things from guests of all ages during the wedding and we are still hearing awesome feedback after the fact from our guests. The DJ is one of the most, if not the most important part of your wedding day. We HIGHLY recommend Alan with 5 Star Mobile DJ to anyone looking for a wedding, personal event or party DJ that will bring their celebration to the next level. An amazingly good time, a commitment to professionalism and a willingness to listen to our needs and requests...Thank you Alan. read more

DJ Alan was SO wonderful as emcee and DJ at our wedding reception on 2/17/13! He made the night flow perfectly according to how my husband and I wanted and truly made our special day that much more special and enjoyable! With his stage presence and radio-ready voice, he doesn't overwhelm the audience and doesn't take the spotlight away from the couple-of-the-moment...in fact, his professionalism casts the spotlight even brighter onto the newly married couple because you will be throwing the party of the year if you book DJ Alan Meade! We actually had the great fortune of seeing DJ Alan in action at my now sister-in-law's wedding last October before we booked him...and he did not disappoint on our big day!! I got SO many compliments from family and friends on how much fun the reception was, and how impressive our DJ was--we were confident that we would have the party of the year with DJ Alan and he absolutely took care of business! Once you book DJ Alan, he sets you up with an online planning account where you choose all of your playlist (including a "do NOT playlist" -- which is absolutely brilliant) and determine your own timeline so you can select how you want your evening to flow. This was an amazing tool and I got to select all of my old school hip hop and r&b jams (none of the more recent Top 40 garbage--blech), as well as choose special music for dinner time (Sinatra, other crooners per my husband's more refined taste ;) and of course specific songs for the first dance/bouquet & garter toss/cake cutting, etc. The online planning tool was super easy to use and was really helpful in determining the flow of the reception. I had SUCH a wonderful time at my reception because I didn't have to worry about my timeline -- thanks to DJ Alan!! DJ Alan is so awesome that another one of my husband's siblings has also booked him for his wedding in July! I can't wait to boogie down with DJ Alan again! I hope I get the chance to hire him again because I would do it in a heartbeat! read more

I can't say enough great things about Alan! He is awesome!!! He dj'd my wedding at the Mission Inn and his wife did the photo booth. They were both great. He really does a great job feeling out the crowd and getting the party started. Everyone brought up how great the DJ and the music was. The photo booth was super fun with great quality pictures and great props. Alan really made my day special and was so good to me when I gave him my music list a day before the wedding. He worked other weddings that weekend but still made time to add in all the music I repeated as well as some Persian music for my dads side of the family. My husband and I knew from our first meeting with him that he was the one! His prices are great and he gives you a deal if you add the photo booth. It's worth every penny and some! read more

What can I say that hasn't already been said. If you're looking for a DJ, you've found your man. I have been to so many wedding where they cut costs on the DJ and were disappointed. We could not have asked for better. Alan knows what he is doing and has a blast doing it. He is a leader of the party when he needs to be, and he steps back and lets everyone groove when he's not needed. He really keeps the flow going and makes it all about the Bride and Groom. We loved our DJ. If I could give 10 stars, I would. read more
