Something absolute can't be compared to others. It's the gold standard and should be treated as…read moresuch. I'd go almost so far as to say that about Absolute Entertainment. The DJ portion of their entertaining came pretty close to absolute level for my wife and I on our recent wedding day. Things started way before the wedding with the fact that Absolute was a preferred vendor to our venue and so we gave them a shot to start the DJ searching process. Well after meeting with Matty, we were sold. I don't know if it was his energy, friendliness, truthfulness, or the fact that he reminded us of Ryan Reynolds, but something clicked and we signed on the dotted line that day. This contract included their new mirror photo booth along with a custom rustic DJ booth that was specific for our venue (how cool is that!?). Now I mention the photo booth because that'll come back into play in a bit, but first let's jump into the lead up before the wedding and the big day itself. Absolute did a great job in contacting us prior to the wedding and making sure they had all of our information correct as well as the music choices we wanted. We also got a call from Matty (who happened to be our MC for the wedding) and he ran through all of our info again. They definitely did a thorough job of preparing. On the day of the wedding, the entire ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception was awesome with Matty and Cliff (the DJ). The music choices that we wanted were played throughout the wedding and all of our must-plays were heard. Yeah maybe here and there we had a song pop up we didn't love, but nobody's perfect. Well, Matty's ability to get people on the dance floor and pump everyone up was pretty close to perfect. He was definitely a highlight of our vendors and something we'll positively remember. Now I haven't mentioned the photo booth because we ended up removing it from our contract. The pictures of their mirror photo booth on Absolute's website didn't match up with the one they were showing on social media posts. Both were nice, but it didn't really fit into our theme/style. A small annoyance in the grand scheme of things, though it also took a little time to hear back from them via email in order to get the photo booth removed. Another minor snafu, but in the entirety of everything, I'd still stick with Absolute and the five stars I threw on this review. Overall, Absolute Entertainment is legit in their ability to bring the party and make your day feel special. Their DJs listen to your music preferences and the MCs are fantastic at making your event that much more enjoyable and fun. Perhaps some side pieces aren't perfect, but in the realm of performance and music, Absolute is pretty darn absolute.

Just had my daughters Sweet 16 at the Coral House in Baldwin, NY. I was referred to Drive Up DJs…read moreand Ivan by someone else that had used them and then I researched them by looking at all the social media they use, and then I decided DUDJs was really the only choice. They are that good, and their price was totally reasonable. From the beginning, I knew we were in great hands. They provided us with DJ / MC / Sound / Lights / Video in one simple package, they even created a beautiful 250 pic video photo montage for us that was beautiful. They communicated with our other vendors through out the night and followed the planned script perfectly and played all music as previously selected as well as all the typical dance standards. It was LIT as my daughter said when it was over (which we didnt want to end). Ivan and his team are total pros, very personable and very easy to deal with and that took a lot of weight ofs our shoulders as we trusted him to run with the program and he did not disappoint us. Thank you again!

What an amazing experience working with Drive Up DJ's. Everything was organized from the initial…read morecall, booking, pre-event, and post-event follow up. The questionnaire used for planning was all online as well as their catalog of services provided. Ivan was super accommodating and played all the songs we requested. He was on point with the wedding day itinerary and helpful with suggestions. We had some guests who also DJ and they came up to me raving about how his song mixes/wordplay was spot on. The photo booth was a hit - highly recommend and you receive a link to all photos/gifs taken. We also added on the saxophonist and 8 ft robot. Rob was also fantastic and I'm so glad DUDJ's provided him as the MC. High energy, big smiles, and these two were able to read to crowd and perform accordingly. Their DJ light setup was soooo much better than other DJ's I vetted (not to mention the others were upselling this and Drive Up provides this as a standard). I would have zero hesitation booking this team again and will be recommending them to all friends/family for future events.

Tommy's Tunes was the DJ for my wedding yesterday and I had to run to write this review because I…read morestill cannot believe how phenomenal they were. I had DJ Dominick, MC PJ, and Xander for Photobooth. Dominick's music was INCREDIBLE... he played every single song I asked for, timed all the music perfectly, and kept the party going all night... it was truly banger after banger. The crowd loved it and so did I. PJ was also an absolutely fantastic MC. He was so fun and really did a great job engaging the crowd to keep everyone partying all night! He did great job communicating with me about the schedule for the night too! Overall a 10/10 experience working with Tommy's Tunes. I personally feel that the music and overall DJ experience really either makes or breaks a party and everyone I spoke to told me that this was one of the best weddings they've ever gone to, and I owe it all to Dominick, PJ, and Xander!

It's taking me 2 years to write this review. I recorded a song to walk down the aisle to for my…read morewedding. They played the wrong song. They really weren't even sorry about it. I requested four specific songs to be played at the wedding and only one was played. I also had the phone that gas can leave a message on and we waited almost a month to hear the messages . My husband finally had to call them to see what the holdup was for them to tell us that the messages never recorded, something was wrong with the phone. So when were they planning on telling us ? If I can give them zero reviews I would. Do not hire them for your wedding.

Fresh Meadows, Flushing

I've had the pleasure of working with Mike, the owner of MVP DJ Entertainment, on two occasions…read more The first time I worked with Mike was several years ago, when I was a volunteer helping to run a trivia night fundraiser at my children's school. I wasn't the coordinator of that event and wasn't involved in the planning; I worked the concession stand selling refreshments and raffles. However, there was a good deal of down time and I was able to observe Mike's manner and how he interacted with the crowd. To say Mike was funny would be an understatement. He read the crowd perfectly, and everyone was kept entertained; at times the room would explode in laughter. He also kept things moving and always kept the players engaged. As a volunteer, just standing in the back of the room watching, not even participating in the game, I still had a lot of fun. It was my observations of Mike and how he ran that event that made me seek him out when I ran my own trivia night. The school year after I first met Mike, I transferred my children to a different school. After settling in, I approached the administration about running a trivia night fundraiser there. I had lost Mike's contact information and it took me several months of searching and asking around to find Mike (there are a lot of trivia hosts out there) but I finally was able to track him down. I contacted Mike initially on October 9th (with the event already on the school calendar for October 20th). We didn't have much time to plan but Mike was on the ball and got everything planned and coordinated at a moments notice. Unfortunately, Mike himself was not available but he assured me that his other hosts were just as fun. I was skeptical but took Mike at his word and he didn't let me down. We ended up having Jeremy as our host and he was VERY well received. Jeremy was as fun and engaging as Mike was. I also got comments for some of the women in attendance that Jeremy was "nice to look at." I got the impression that some of them wanted to try and take Jeremy home with them. Maybe that's a selling point for you, maybe not. Bottom line, trivia night was a great success thanks to MVP DJ Entertainment. We will definitely be using Mike and MVP DJ Entertainment again!

Chad was…read moreamazing throughout the whole process. he was so easy to communicate with, he always responded extremely promptly and answered our millions of questions. He kept us up to date on eveything, and was sooo organized it made a huge difference. Accomodated every little detail we wanted and every obscure song we wanted like the Buffalo Bills make me want to shout (which was so important to my husband), an irish song that means a lot to us and our ceremony instrumental music. on the night of our wedding he got all of our bridal party together and our families and explained everything. He always gave us a heads up when certain things were coming up like speeches, dances, etc because we forgot everything and couldnt think for ourselves. So many guests came up to us and said how great he was and its the best DJ /MC theyve ever seen at a wedding. He kept our dancefloor alive all night, it was amazing. He was also so kind and checked on us throughout the night asking if we wanted drinks, food and everything in between. Cannot recommend Ll Nights enough!! They helped make our night so special and everything run so smoothly

Each detail of entertainment was executed to perfection, with no request to large or small for their skill set. They made my husband and I feel like their top priority with ease and care. Every guest danced until the last minute of our reception, which for a wedding of 180 guests is unheard of! The photo montage, the energy, the professionalism was top tier. LI Nights entertainment is the ONLY choice for music and entertainment of any kind.

Working with her made everything super easy and it was so nice not to have to stress about this during my wedding planning process. Thank you Jennifer! Jacob was the BEST DJ! I couldn't have asked for a better DJ at my wedding. I am so so happy that I chose Fourth Generation as my DJ so I was able to have Jacob lol. From the ceremony, to cocktail hour, to the reception - the music was perfect. He played my requests and kept the party going all night long. I am not a big dancer, but I didn't want to leave the dance floor - that's how good he was! He was also so great at MCing when we needed it. I can't say enough good things about Jacob - I wish I would re-do the whole night so I could listen to him DJ again! We also had a Photo Booth with a wonderful attendant that helped everyone take pics all night long! Thank you Fourth Generation for an AMAZING night. Everything was so perfect and you helped make it perfect so THANK YOU!!

They did a great job overall and got everyone dancing and were generally friendly and great to work with. No major complaints there. There was a small flub with the dj/mc but they were wonderful and helpful and it was all good, and they kept the party going all night! I would hire them again if there is ever a reason for me too. If you are just booking a DJ and and MC they are great and you can stop reading the review here! If you are booking live solo musicians though there is more. I am lowering the review not because of the DJ/MC, but because of the live solo musican we had booked as well. We booked violin and piano, and were told the musician can play anything reasonable that will have sheet music. My husband picked a classical piece, not an overly crazy one, it's one that most students can play, so for a professional it should be a non issue. But I heard from multiple guests (many of whom are also musicans...) that it sounded off and even I could tell it wasn't right as I walked down the aisle. We were told only a short time before the wedding that the violinist was having to practice the piece a lot, but not that they couldn't reliably play it at all, and if we knew earlier it couldn't be played, we would have gladly hired any QC student or a peer to do it instead (and for less money). The violinist was also the piano player, and for piano we had requested jazz music, which was pretty important to my musician husband. To our surprise when we walked into the cocktail hour we hear "beauty and the beast" on piano. Totally not our vibe at all, not what we asked for, and no one gave us any warning that it would be changed. Again, if we knew sooner that the pianist either wouldn't or couldn't do jazz, we would have found someone else, or we would have changed to a different genre, but definitely not sappy poppy love songs.... Just such a bummer. The piano killed the vibe for me completely and he and I were both so looking forward to it. Overall the player was nice and whatever, and I guess if you just want some basic piano covers it's fine, but we expected more of a professional service, like a heads up that the music was changed even. All in all I still definitely recommend the DJ and MC and the owner(?) is a pleasure to work with, but just letting people know if they have any sort of specific live music wishes aside from the most generic, to go elsewhere for that one aspect. The cocktail hour music not being at all what we discussed was a definite stain on the otherwise perfect night for us.

Do yourself, and your guests a favor ... Book them now!…read more We chose East End Entertainment and DJ Michael for our October 2022 wedding after one conversation with him ... and it was such a great decision. We had called/ requested multiple companies for pricing and availability, and from the first phone call we knew this company was different than all the rest, and that Michael really loves what he does. We had decided to do a "DIY" wedding, and honestly - probably could not have pulled it off as successful as we did without his help, talent, and personal investment in our event. He was easy to contact over both email and phone, and when we got busy and overwhelmed, he stayed on top of us to make sure that he had all the information he needed. The wedding outline he uses and phone/email conversations helped guide and structure our entire night and he worked to really get a feel for the atmosphere we were trying to achieve ... He managed to turn a ballroom in a historical house into a fun, yet classy, dance party that incorporated BOTH my wife's love for early 2000's dance music and brought out my 90's punk/ alternative! While still getting younger family members and parents and grandparents out on the dance floor. We used the North fork Rustic Decor DJ booth (which I'm pretty sure he built himself!) after DJ Michael saw photos of the space and recommended it, and it fit perfectly! And when we stumbled during the cake cutting (we did not have a Maitre D - and neither of us knew what to do next, or who cuts first) ... I look up and there is DJ Michael. He had stepped down from the stage and DJ booth, came to our table, and discreetly guided us through it, to flawlessly look like we knew what we were doing! There was at least a few more moments just like this, from nailing our entrance, to making sure we were served first from the Food Truck, and speeches went smooth... If you want your wedding or event to go seamlessly and have perfect music and DJ, this is definitely the one!

Thank you East End Entertainment for keeping the dance floor packed all night long at my wedding!…read moreThe music that was played was amazing, my husband and I did not want to stop dancing as we loved every song that was played. My questions, concerns, and emails were answered promptly and fully leading up to my wedding. Michael was very accommodating and tailored to my needs/wants. My venue recommended East End Entertainment and I knew I did not have to look any further after hearing the recommendation from the venue. The Hamptons beachwood white dj booth was beautiful. I was extremely happy with the music performance. Overall the dance floor was packed all night, my guests loved the music, and my husband and I were having the time of our lives. Thank You East End Entertainment.
