I say "shopping" in quotes because our search started and ended with DJ James DiNanno. We knew immediately that James was no salesman, just a charismatic guy who genuinely loves what he does. Throughout that first conversation we discussed our style and vision. You could say that my husband and I have a pretty eclectic taste in music.. (We talked about the Fleet Foxes. Our intro song was "Life on Mars" by Bowie). To our surprise, James was not only knowledgeable about our tastes but also enthusiastic. We left there knowing we made the right choice.James promised that he would not be center stage at our wedding, and he truly wasn't. I've seen my fair share of wedding DJ's who take away from the meaning of the night by making it about themselves. James was present, fun and interactive but he was never overbearing. We've had countless guests comment on how likable and professional our DJ was. James is an artist, skilled at reading a room and creating/maintaining a buzzing energy level. My dad, a product of his era, remarked that there weren't as many slow songs as he expected. We know that this is because our guests drove the music, James could sense that we were a particularly wild group, and he played off that skillfully. And believe me, even my dad got DOWN.Last but not least. Unfortunately for us, the event coordinator at our venue was less than stellar at her job...but I'll leave that for another review. Due to lack of direction and communication, the entire bridal party felt a bit lost and frustrated at pivotol points throughout the night. Without even needing to be consulted, James and our photographer Katherine Taylor sprung into action and worked together seamlessly to bring everyone on the same page. The result? Not a single guest knew that we had ran into any trouble at all. The night was perfect, and we could not be more grateful to have such an amazing team there to take care of us.I would not hesitate to recommend DJ James DiNanno to anyone. And since we were the first of our friends to get married, my husband and I have our fingers crossed that we'll get a chance to party with him again some day. read less

We were absolutely thrilled. Having a wedding during a pandemic is unbelievably stressful. Tom took control from the first meeting until the last dance. He always stayed in touch, had fantastic ideas and custom edited songs for us. We had a lot of changes due to COVID but it never threw him. He was so professional and looked like a million bucks at the wedding. We were a little uncertain about having a DJ because we were having a smallish 2nd wedding but were so ecstatic in the end that we went for it. Tom kept the music going with a perfect mix for our crowd! The whole AllStar Entertainment is a class act that I would recommend to anyone! Mary and Steve 8/9/20 read less

We were looking for someone who could blend top 40 with Hispanic beats and he delivered! It was also great that he spoke English and Spanish. My Colombian side of the family really appreciated it.

We had a great experience with this company and DJ Tom for our wedding at the Westin in Copley Square on 9/6/14. DJ Tom listened to all of our requests in the pre-event meeting and played everything we wanted and much more. He was very patient with some rowdy wedding guests and the flow of the music was perfect the entire evening. I would highly recommend DJ Tom for your wedding or any event. read less

He even took the time to meet with us prior to our wedding to go over the details and then he read our crowd like a book! If you know your music.... and want your guests to dance all night, DJ Brian is the way to go! We also got the uplighting which was a beautiful accent at our venue! We would not have changed a thing! Thank you DJ Brian for making our wedding night a night to remember.... not only for us but for our guests as well!!! read less

I will review them separately: DJ-We used Anthony as our DJ and he was absolutely fantastic. He was the only one of my vendors that would occasionally check in just to see how our planning was going. It was such a nice touch and really made us feel like he cared about our day and that we weren’t just ‘another wedding’ to him. He was always super quick to respond and very easy to work with during the process of planning. On the day of, he was always upbeat and never hesitated to fit in a song request.

Anthony was super helpful and responsive throughout the entire process. We had some odd song queue time requests that Anthony coordinated with us on and did a perfect job with them. We selected a few songs and Anthony chose the rest. The crowd was dancing all night long. The uplighting was amazing too. Would definitely recommend! read less

I really felt like he listened to what kind of music we wanted. My husband isn't big on dancing so James made several suggestions on what we could do for the song after our first Dance. He played "Save the last dance for me" and got everyone on the dance floor! it was great and my husband felt really comfortable with not being the center of attention. I got so many compliments from my guests. He played the right amount of slow songs to keep the mood romantic while playing classic dance songs to get everyone on the dance floor. For the ceremony James made several suggestions for what we could use for the processional and I loved them all! read less

I would 100% recommend him if you need a DJ!Harpist-We used Theresa Tafuri to play the harp during our ceremony and cocktail hour. She was the first vendor to reach out to me about the planning process once we were close to the big day. I appreciated her early planning! During the planning she had great suggestions and was very helpful with helping us figure out what type of music we wanted her to play. The music was absolutely beautiful on the big day. We had so many compliments from our guests on how different/unique the harp was. They really enjoyed it and thought it was a nice touch. If we ever want to add a special touch to another event in the future, we will definitely be working with Theresa again! read less
