We used Astro Entertainment as our DJ for our wedding and they were amazing to work with! Nick was our DJ and was very friendly, professional and exceeded our expectations. Danny helped explain their services and get everything scheduled. They also completed check ins before the wedding to make sure all our needs and expectations were met. If we ever need a DJ again in the future, we will definitely be using Astro Entertainment ! read more

Update- 2 months later and still waiting for the partial refund they promised us. Had to cancel due to covid-19. Vendor told us we could only get 1/3 of our money back. read more

Hands down, I would hire them again and again, but happy to only marry one! I hired Pari for full wedding planning and a dj service for ceremony only. I'm Virginia's #1 Wedding pastor. I've performed over 5000 weddings and could have worked my own wedding just fine. But knowing the entire industry, I wanted to work with someone that I've worked with more times than I can count but also who knows just as many people as I do. When I first started planning, I needed to remain anonymous so having that wedding influencer coordinate for me meant that I could gain the same top industry standards that one would offer to me directly. But more than influence and connection, Pari and her team and I have worked with intimately over the years in the wedding world. They are professional, coordinated, organized, detailed oriented, and a "get it done" + "I got it" + "don't worry" vibe that I also needed and desired. The last reason, I hired my friend, a professional friend, but still my friend. All of my vendors were dear friends who I know also loved me. You see, I'm a man, and married the man of my dreams, my husband. I had not come out just yet, and this hiring was super personal for me. Not only was I joining my partner for life, but I needed a team that supports me whole heartedly and were like my family, even my "wedding industry family." I found all that with Pari and her team. My family didn't participate... not many pastors who are gay have family that would support that kind of decision, but Pari, she was my constant, my rock, my support, my guide through the entire process. Thats what meant the world to me the most. Can you imagine "handling" a virginia's most wedded wedding pastor who's used to running the wedding ceremony? I have to give it to her, my personality is louder than any bridezilla, though, as a pro, never happened. Pari did it with such ease and professionalism. There was a part in my rehearsal that I "let go" of things.. Pari gently placed both hands on my shoulders and looked me straight in the eyes and said, "Cory... do you trust me..." I'll be honest, there was a long pause, but the reality is that I did. I said yes, I trust you. That transfer of power was needed for me and she used her professional authority in such a way to ease even me and to place me in position where she needed me to transfer that moment to her. I smile when I think about it, but I realized after that moment, I was able to relax and drink and enjoy the moments of my wedding. My wedding day came, finally, it was my turn. Pari and the team arrived on time, sorted everything. I had nothing to do but be present and thats something that I can never be more thankful for Pari. They kept our timeline on point and made changes quickly when I asked. They packed things up and coordinated with my designees. My wedding was perfect and exactly what I wanted. Most importantly, my wedding was executed professional and just as I envisioned. She captured my picture and performed perfectly. There isn't, truly, any negative thing I can think of, not even a lil bit of that or some more of that. Finally, just one last thought. As my partner and I were sharing these moments in the ceremony, I scanned the logical family chosen to be there, including my vendor team. There wasn't a dry eye present, including Pari's eyes. The love I share for her and our friendship will be forever present. Hire this team. You won't regret it. And yes, you really do need a planner! Thank you Pari and Sara, from the deepest part of Justin's and my heart. Much love, always! Justin and Cory! read more

We just celebrated our 50th Year Anniversary party for our company, Lawson. I can not say enough great things about the Astro team. Jeremy is a delight to work with and made planning the event a breeze. He's super helpful, resourceful, full of ideas and energy. He even worked our event, and we LOVED him on the 360 video booth!! (By the way... this thing is a MUST at any party! Our folks are still sharing their videos from last week! Jay was very professional and set things up perfectly and everything worked perfectly! Then, Jay and another young lady helped our guests at the photo booths! Now... you want to talk about an incredible DJ/Emcee that has some mad skillz... DJ NICK is who you want! We worked so well together all evening and he kept that dance floor FULL the majority of the night! From planning to execution and everything in between, the talented and delightful team at Astro is who you need to make your night EPIC AND UNFORGETABLE! THANKS AGAIN! We couldn't have done it without you! read more

Roger was wonderful!!! We chatted on the phone a couple days before the wedding and he really made sure he understood our vision for our wedding night! People were on the dance floor the ENTIRE reception... it was never not crowded!! He was helpful in playing songs and stopping them at the specific points we wanted (for recessional, precessional, FoB and MoG dances) as well. Highly recommend him!!!! read more

Some of my clients recently had a lot of positive things to say about this place. Thank you soo much for opening up your arms and hearts to my dear friends and their next adventure in life. Rafael - you are sir are going to be a busy, busy man... I will make it my job to send you as many clients planning a wedding as I can, I really enjoyed hearing all about your vision and wedding professionalism. Tre Bien, read more

Had the besttttt wedding week and Danny at Astro was nothing short of awesome! He walked us through everything a couple days before. During the ceremony and reception he knew how to get people all together and how to really keep the party going! I would def recommend Danny for any event! He was truly amazing! A real stand up guy. Funny. And made our wedding day a blast! read more

Let me start off by saying I've hired Astro Entertainment over 5 times probably in the past 8-9 years. I've had Jay as our DJ three times and he was great! He played the perfect type of music after doing his research on the demographics of our parties. He also engaged with the party which in turn made for a wonderful time. I'm not sure how much we spent, but the price was pretty reasonable. Fast forward several years... we hired Astro to do a Christmas party for a local restaurant at the Chesapeake Golf Club. We had Raphael. He was hired from 5-8pm on a Thursday night, 12-21. He was horrible. He played ok music for the occasion. He did NOT engage with the party. He probably spoke 2 sentences the whole time. My brother in law is in a local Motown band and actually had to finish his job. He did start a game of musical chairs and during this he played awesome music, then when he finished, he went back to boring 80's music. He was absolutely horrible. There was no smile on his face the entire time he was up there. I'm thinking something horrible went on with him that day for him to be so sullen and unprofessional. So I'm giving Astro 4 stars because of my past experience with them. If I were to review them from their job last week.. it would be 1 star. So... DO NOT hire Raphael. read more

Astro provided the wedding coordinator (Shaw), the dj as well as the lighting and projections for my wedding at the Chrysler museum in December. The coordinator Shaw was incredible, as an overly hetero guy if someone told me they were a wedding coordinator in the past I probably would have giggled to myself like "hehe get a real job". After the fact...I get it, they do a ton, Shaw was nothing short of the mvp of the whole day. This review gets 5 stars from her alone. I'm not exactly sure how but my wife got some really good package deal from Astro involving everything else. The lighting and dj were great and we got a photo booth as well at a very fair price. All said and done I'm an extremely pleased with the services provided based on the money spent. Anyone wondering if they should acquire the services if Astro in the future...that is a firm yes coming from me. read more

See all

We used astro entertainment as our wedding DJ and rented their photo-booth. I was very impressed with everything. Our DJ was Danny Gray- and he was great! Super energetic and played to the crowd. Have you ever been to a wedding where everyone starts to get into the music, and the DJ changes the song? That's the worst! Our experience was nothing like that. We danced all night to excellent music. We made a playlist for cocktail hour and dinner because we're a little picky, but the dance music was all him. He also MCed for us and had guests involved at every opportunity As far as the photo-booth, I only have positive things to say. First of all, it's huge. I think we fit 8-10 people at one time. I loved the video message after each photo session. When we got the DVD they sent, I honestly laughed so hard I was crying. Of course I also loved the book of photos they gave us that night, but the best part was that everyone in the picture was given a copy (no limit on prints!). I definitely recommend astro entertainment! read more

I was responsible for setting up my command's holiday party this year and seriously struck gold with Astro Entertainment. Jay was super friendly and helpful. He was also very understanding that we were trying to put on a nice event on a budget. The DJ for our event, Kurt, was really easy to work with and I would recommend him to any other command in a heartbeat. He had a few crowd-interactive games that were really fun and I think kept the pace of the evening going when normally people would have started to become bored. Worth every cent of the cost, which, considering that we are in holiday season was reasonable. We have used Astro Entertainment for the past two years to DJ our holiday parties and I see absolutely no reason why we would stray from them in the future. They are consummate professionals and great to work with! read more

Only 5 stars were available for this review, I'd have given them 100 if I could. When my daughter told me she wanted to use Astro Entertainment out of Virginia Beach, VA for a wedding in Beaufort, NC because she knew Danny's work from her job at a VA Beach hotel I was skeptical. As her mom, I was worried about so many things, I didn't want her disappointed. He wouldn't know the venue, he was at a distance and working with the other vendors would be challenging, what if something happened as he was trying to get here, 3-1/2 hours away, on and on. So much could have gone wrong. Now I know why she insisted. She was SO right. Danny was AMAZING. So many people said during the evening and after, "Where did she find him? He's Amazing." The best evening of music and dancing ever. Thanks Astro, and especially, Danny. read more

I hired Astro Entertainment once again for DJ, Casino, Lighting and Photobooth and 5 star all the way. Jerritt the DJ was amazing and the attendees loved the trivia games and scavenger hunt and the music kept them dancing and entertained for 4 hours during their holiday party. They assisted me with the raffle prizes and calling out the winners. Greg made sure the lighting and everything was up to my standards, which were and I am very particular and it was perfect. Never a doubt in my mind when it comes to Astro Entertainment and they do delver. Karen Clements Event Coordinator Events In Every Occasion www.eventsineveryoccasion.com read more

Mike from Astro did our wedding on May 8th at Cahoon Plantation in Chesapeake! He did an awesome job and kept the music playing all night! Make sure if he DJs your party or event you ask him to sing! The dude sounds just like Frank Sinatra! Larry did the streaming of the ceremony and did a great job as well! I highly recommend Astro for all of your events! read more

Our group was having a 125-person event in the Virginia Beach area and I found Astro DJs online. So happy I did! Setting up the event with Danny via email and over the phone was so easy. Their services were very competitively priced. Kurt was our DJ. He contacted me the week of the event and I was able to send him a playlist and some songs that are special to our group. So easy! Not only was the actual music at the event amazing, but Kurt was a great MC and brought some personality to the dancefloor. He had everyone sing happy birthday as one of our group was turning 21 and even got on the dancefloor and danced with us at one point. He also took requests from our guests. The music was great and Kurt read our minds with what we wanted to hear. Everyone was on the dancefloor until late! 10/10 would recommend Kurt and Astro DJs! read more

I hired Astro for my wedding 05/12/2014- best plan ever. We had Freddie and he was on top of things. I had a family member sing during the wedding ceremony and he made the process so smooth. I have everything wonderful to say about him. During the reception everyone was up and dancing, he got the party started! He also was directly on queue for activities planned- like the speeches, cake, ect... My family will be raving about how much fun they had for years and a big thank you goes to Freddie- you are fantastic. Thank you. Kudos to Astro for having you. Thank you Astro Entertainment for helping make my wedding a success I will be proud to tell my grandchildren about. read more

Astro provided partial wedding planning, rentals, and a DJ for our Covid-redo wedding. We booked them for an initial wedding in 2021, and rescheduled due to Covid for a year later (without issue). Fast forward to 2022 and the MORNING OF OUR WEDDING the venue cancelled on us because of bad weather (indoor venue). Pari and the events team were not only able to secure another venue to accommodate 120+ guests, but also reroute everyone to a location, and secure shuttles for everyone to and from our new venue. They organized all of our vendors, decorated the entire venue, and ensured everything went off without a hitch--all in a few hours. I can genuinely look back on our wedding day and say it was perfect, and Astro played an immeasurable role in that. Almost all of our attendees said it felt like this was the plan all along. As the bride who had a (very much unplanned) venue change day-of---I can honestly say after a couple phone calls with Pari, my biggest concern was being able to adequately express our thanks to this team!! Aside from the quick-change plans, Rodney the DJ had everyone dancing the entire night. The feedback we've heard the most from friends and family is how great the music was. I can't recommend them enough. read more

I can honestly say that this was the biggest disappointment of my entire wedding day. To start with, when we booked our DJ, I asked who our exact DJ will be. I asked this often in the 11 months I was engaged. But they gave me the run around until a few weeks before our wedding, which was inconvenient because they knew we were coming in from out of town and assigning one this late made it impossible to meet our DJ before the wedding. Then, when I tried to contact the DJ, responding to the email he originally sent, he refused to email us back. Finally, 2 weeks before the wedding, we get ahold of each other and he liked the sound of his own voice more than mine because he refused to let me talk and refused to listen to my requests. I spoke with him twice on the phone and at least two times via email stressing the importance of specific things we did and didn't want during our wedding. He didn't listen at all. First he didn't introduce my second maid of honor who walked in with the best man and first maid of honor, but instead introduced a bridesmaid as my maid of honor, even though she entered after the two maids of honor. This was AFTER me stressing that I had two and they'd be walking in together with the best man. The worse that he did was during our first dance. I stressed to him that if our introduction song (which was the same as our first dance) ran too long, to rewind the song to a specific time. We had rehearsed our choreographed dance starting at that time. He didn't do it. So we ended up cutting our choreographed dance in half. Then before dinner, he played a game with my guests even after he specifically asked me if I wanted this. I said 'no.' That wasn't what he wanted to hear, I guess, because he proceeded to do it anyway. So my wedding planner overheard me angrily complaining to my husband and she quickly made him stop playing the gameshow games. We also requested that the parent dances be cut short since my husband's mom had recently broken her tailbone but didn't want to miss out on her chance to dance with her son. So we asked to have both dances cut short to save her from suffering too much, as well as to give us more time for group dancing. He played the entire songs for both dances, ignoring this specific request. As for the group dancing, it was made known to us by several of our guests (all not knowing each other) that their dance requests were being ignored. I would go to each table and ask "why aren't you dancing?!?!" Four or five of my guests replied with, "we asked for a song to be played but he has yet to play it." This is frustrating since he seemed to only be trying to appeal to the older crowd. It wasn't until I stood over the DJ and stared him down ON the dance floor, that he began to play some of the requested songs. This bride felt like all her special requests were ignored and that the DJ was going to do whatever he felt like doing. This was the only vendor we had an issue with - the others were so easy to work with, so I don't think that I was the issue. I would not recommend this company. read more

Honestly one of the most professional companies I have ever worked with. From start to finish every person I encountered was friendly and professional. We hired them for our company Christmas party and would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone for any occasion and will absolutely use them again! read more

We just got married on 11/3 and Rodney was our DJ for the evening. We have nothing but fantastic things to say about him! We had a last minute change and Rodney contacted me with all of his necessary information to get on the military base where our wedding was held and then called me to confirm some details. He was personable and professional, and boy, does he know how to read a room! We were supposed to go into our father/daughter mother/son dances right after dinner but had some folks on the dance floor so he kept going until I caught up with him. We bumped the dances back to just before our toasts and cake and everything went swimmingly! He played all of our requested songs and picked up on cues from throughout the night and played songs accordingly. 10/10 would recommend! read more

We hired Astro Entertainment for our wedding and our DJ was Mark. Man talk about entertainment! Mark was awesome playing the right music at the right time getting out on the dance floor with everybody and making our wedding just that much better it was just non stop fun! Mark is by no means a amateur DJ he knows what he's doing! If we ever need another DJ we will most definitely be going back to Astro Entertainment and asking for Mark! read more

I hired Danny from Astro DJ for my wedding and he did a phenomenal job!!! I recommend him to anyone. He made my reception sooooo much fun!!!! read more

My husband and I chose DJ Astro for their reasonable prices and customer service. We are both graduate students living in Boston, so we did knew that we wanted a fun, young party for our friends and family. We were thoroughly impressed with everything and they even exceeded our expectations. We planned our wedding from Boston, so it was important to us that we got to meet someone at DJ Astro before the wedding week. Our DJ Kurt Etheridge was so accommodating and friendly. He set up a meeting and we went over playlists, games, preferences...and he even made suggestions about how to make our wedding more entertaining for our guests, including the Newlywed Game! I even provided Kurt with a playlist and he really stuck to it! It made our night extremely personal and fun because our friends and family recognized the music from different moments in our lives. He was extremely professional and organized and got all our friends and family dancing all night. It was really unexpected how everyone from our parents, aunts, uncle, and even the shy friends got up to dance in the middle of a circle. We will have the best memories of our wedding because of Kurt and we cannot thank him enough for making our day so special. If you ever need a DJ for an event, I highly recommend DJ Astro, specifically Kurt Etheridge! read more

You will not make a mistake in hiring Valente from Astro as your wedding DJ! My husband is a big music guy and Valente totally catered to his music selections and let him be involved! He got everyone on the dance floor for the reception! We wanted a very short first dance - we hate attention -- and Valente promised to keep it short and cut it early. He was wonderful. Then after the daddy daughter dance, he did a wonderful really special dance that brought all the couples out to the floor- even people I didn't expect! It was all his doing! Valente included hilarious sound effects in my dad's never-ending speech to spice it up. He had everyone dancing all night! A big old dance circle of all ages!! Some priceless dance videos of my guests. Valente was one of the highlights of the evening with people asking me for his info after the wedding or telling us how amazing our DJ was. On top of it, he is just a wonderfully nice person! Thank you Valente and Astro!!! read more

We had a DJ from Astro at our wedding and it was an absolute hit. They played all of the right music and kept the groom and I extremely informed and involved. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ. read more

Rodney DJ'd my daughter's wedding this past Saturday. He was the best!! He took care of every detail from the ceremony to the reception. He was so entertaining and personable . His choice of music pleased every guest. Everyone was on the dance floor! He made it the the best wedding!!! I highly recommend Rodney! read more

DJ Rodney Charles with Astro did our wedding last weekend. He was amazing! He played all the right music and our requested tunes. Rodney also coordinated with the staff at Rockafellers to make sure every part of the event, from our first dance to the bouquet toss went seamlessly. The lighting and set up was very professional. His personality was lively while not overbearing, engaging, and friendly; perfect for a wedding. I recommend him highly if you are searching for the perfect experience. Astro Entertainment made the whole booking process very simple. With all the things we had to deal with leading up to the wedding, this was a last minute oh my goodness we forgot about getting a dj moment and Astro was super accommodating. It was one area where we had absolutely zero stress at all. Such a great company!!!! read more

Astro Entertainment - DJs Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

We contracted with Astro Entertainment about 18 months prior to our daughter's wedding in April 2019. From the beginning they were so helpful in suggesting different vendors (photographer, florist, cake baker, hair/makeup), that we had a guidepost to follow. Over time I worked with Pari, Suzie, and Shaw and each one guided me through everything I needed to know to make the event a success. I cannot say enough about how helpful they all were. My daughter and her groom were able to have a voice in everything, especially the music played. It was a great wedding and a lot of credit goes to Pari who was our onsite wedding planner who guided all the festivities. read more

I love Astro DJs and cannot say enough wonderful things about them! I would hire them over and over again! I want to have another wedding just to hire them again! read more

DJ Danny did an outstanding job at our wedding. When we decided to book with Astro, they asked which DJ we wanted. To help us decide, we looked through the reviews and Danny's name was coming up everywhere. Now we know why - he was phenomenal! The month leading up to our wedding, I had a meeting with Danny to discuss everything we wanted. The week of, he called me to confirm everything was right, and to ask a few additional questions to make sure he knew exactly what we wanted. Day of, everything was perfect. Danny would check in with us every so often throughout the event to make sure we were having a good time, and to ask if there was anything particular we wanted played. At one point, I asked if he could put on a few slow songs before the older guests left, and he immediately ran back and did just that. He had everyone on the dance floor the whole night. He played all different types of music, so every guest heard things they liked. Even my 90 year old grandmother said she enjoyed it! Since the wedding, everyone has been telling us how great the music was. Danny was incredible! We had so much fun dancing the night away. I would highly recommend booking Astro, and specifically DJ Danny, for any event! read more

Does Astro even need a review?? Their reputation is spread through word of mouth and it is AMAZING!!! We had JonEFlex and he rocked it!!!!! The night totally flowed, it was a dance party, it had all the right moments from speeches, to cake cutting, to slow dances to longest marriage dance, to PARTYING the night away!!! He sounded as if he knew us forever, totally a natural and made everyone feel welcome and ready to celebrate the night!! Cant go wrong!!! read more

My husband and I were honored to have DJ Roger Cruz with us on our wedding day and we could not be more grateful!! I can confidently say that he is in a league of his own! I have been to several weddings and events with DJ's and I feel that they can either make or break your celebration. Roger rocked our reception and several weeks later we still have people contacting us telling us how PERFECT he was! We couldn't agree more! I met with Roger to discuss details of our wedding including our styles of music, feel that we wanted for the reception, and all the details in between. We were on the same page on every point that we discussed and I knew he was going to be the perfect DJ for us!! He is very sought after and for a good reason! If you are looking for a DJ to rock your event and have TO DIE FOR mixes from all generations and genres, Roger is your man!! Thank you to Astro Entertainment and our man Rog for helping make June 26 a day we will never forget!! read more
