Winners of the "2012 Bride's Choice Award" (4 years in a row) AND "2012 the Knot Best of Weddings/Boston" (5th year). Recently engaged?  Give us a ring.  Top Rated DJs, UpLighting, Photo-Video Booth, Custom GOBO name projection and more... plus the convenience of "one-stop shopping" at the Bridal Center in Andover.  One building filled with all your wedding needs.

We realize there are tons of DJs, PhotoBooths and UpLighting services out there and you've probably never searched for such services before. Its' a bit overwhelming since the vendors you hire can make or break your wedding.  With all vendors, your first step must be to determine which ones are the "real" dedicated professionals and which are actually amateurs whose bargain rates make you wonder "why are they so much less?". Thank goodness smart consumers do their homework, checking out numerous websites and reading reviews.

Many DJs are suddenly offering low-end uplighting and hoping you don't know the difference.  The number of lights they suggest you need is often the exact number they own.  As a safeguard, please ask to see their uplighting portfolio of work.  Ask to see how their uplighting will look at your venue.  We do wedding entertainment and uplighting "full-time" and understand that your wedding day will be the most important day of your life.  We take a lot of pride in what we do and our 10+ pages of perfect 5 star reviews and year after year of annual industry awards really go a long way to prove it.  In fact, we were recently hired to plan, DJ and uplight a wedding on the Oprah Winfrey Network Reality TV Show, "Don't Tell the Bride" (Season 1, episode 8). AllStar Entertainment & UpLighting is proud and honored to have been the DJ & UpLighting company selected for this nationally televised show.  Someone did their homework... and dealt with only top-rated professionals.

Your Budget...  There are thousands of inexpensive amateurs out there...  and unfortunately when someone has hired the cheapest quote, everyone can tell at the wedding right away.  The opposite also exists...and some of our top competitors are charging over $1,000 more than us, but no service in New England is rated higher than AllStar Entertainment & UpLighting

. The key is to prioritize correctly.  The entertainment is solely responsible for keeping all your guests dancing and having fun until the very last note. We are amazed that some people spend more on a cake or their centerpieces than on their DJ.

Most wedding planners and professionals agree, you should prioritize your budget by the "importance" of each vendor or service first, then allocate a greater portion of your total budget to those things that YOU feel are most important to the success of your wedding day.

AllStar DJs

DJ pricing will depend on what you need.  You should contact us if your entertainment budget falls anywhere between $1,250 and $1,750 dollars because we have different DJ pricing levels, multi-service package deals, discount programs and options to choose from. We will listen to what you want, explain all your choices without any cheesy sales pitch or phoney gimmics and arrive at an entertainment package that's a perfect match for your style, musical preferences and budget. Unlike many others we've seen come and go since 1990, we'll still be in business when your wedding date finally rolls around.

AllStar UpLighting

UpLighting prices are based on the number of uplighting fixtures your venue space needs to accomplish the effect you desire.  From simple, warm elegance during your on-site ceremony to dramatic color changes during your reception... we'll match your vision exactly.  Basic uplighting packages start as low as $750 when added to any AllStar DJ booking... and we ALWAYS include a professional lighting designer with a degree in lighting design to help you plan the lighting in advance and then also attend your wedding for 5 hours to maintain and operate the remote controlled, pre-determined lighting changes you've helped plan out. Don't settle for one color all night when each formal moment can be enhanced with a sweeping and dramatic change in the ambiance of the room to compliment that magical moment.... this type of unique and amazing wedding will be remembered by all, and frankly, it's a lot different than a DJ with no lighting experience placing cheap light cans around the room wherever there's an open plug and then concentrating on the music for the rest of the night.

Some DJs seem to "specialize" in everything... we only specialize in weddings.  Even our office is in "The Brial Center" at One Main Street in Andover, MA.... convenient "one-stop shopping" with uplighting, bridal gowns, dresses for Moms and the bridesmaids, tuxes, limos, photography, photobooths and much more... all in one building!! In fact, since April 2011, TV's Chronicle, the Boston Globe, "North Shore" Magazine and "I Do" magazine have already done feature stories on us. Come in and see why.

It gets even better... all the businesses in the "Bridal Center" offer extra discounts and savings once you use any other businesss in the building. Learn why so many brides choose an AllStar DJ and UpLighting package. 

Email us with the day and time that you'd like to meet (1st and 2nd choice) and we'll gladly schedule a consultation at your convenience... 7 days a week.  You'll find at AllStar, it's "all about the bride & groom!"

Or... simply call us for an appointment today!  978-470-4700

Former AllStar bride quote:
"Amazing! The dance floor was packed the entire night! I couldn’t have asked for a more classy, fun & intelligent DJ!"
Amanda Nee/Dave Tramontozzi  ( see photo below taken by Cook Productions at Tewksbury Country Club)


 

We've done thousands of amazing weddings since 1990 and that translates into "peace of mind" for you... knowing you've got a full-time DJ company providing you with a classy, reliable, professional, experienced wedding DJ and MC who will personally help you plan your timeline, music and formalities in advance and then pack the dance floor with fun, energy and great music while also MCing and coordinating your day flawlessly, exactly as you've planned. Amateurs DJs, part-timers and iPods set on automatic pilot don't provide the advice, planning, MC skills, pro sound equipment, amazing lighting and packed dance floor that we do... every time!

Our AllStar UpLighting is your best choice for decor lighting, since all our uplighting designers & technicians are real lighting professionals (we require a college degree in theatrical lighting design and a lighting design portfolio of prior lighting design work just to get an interview!). Starting with talented designers and adding the best wireless, battery-operated LED remote-controlled uplights on the market, the results speak for themselves.  Just compare photos of our work to any other uplighting service with pictures online... anywhere in the country  In fact, we get emails from uplighting companies across America asking us which fixtures we use to get the amazing, stunning uplighting results we produce at every event. It's not just the fixtures we use, it's our professional lighting designers who work with you on your initial color scheme and pre-planned color changes in advance and then attend your wedding reception from start to finish, as your dedictated uplighting vendor. By the way... a daytime wedding is no problem for a our uplighting designers.

In case you're wondering, we're not the least or the most expensive DJ service.. and we don't let our repeated wedding industry awards or A+ Better Business Bureau rating go to our heads.  Our DJs and lighting team perform every wedding with the same dedication and goal: to exceed your expectations and make it the best wedding anyone there has ever attended... and our 200+ reviews allow our former clients to tell you exactly what they think... after using us for their weddings.

We set the bar high for ourselves...

Click the FAQ tab above for a list of "tough" questions to ask all the DJs you interview... this will help you determine which DJs are professionals and which "DJs" are actually amateurs. If they answer no to 3 or more questions.. you should say "no" too.

Our DJs and UpLighting services have won the "2009, 2010, 2011 and the 2012 Bride's Choice Award" from Weddingwire.com. We've also been voted (for the 5th time) the "2012 Knot Best of Weddings/Boston" in both DJ AND uplighting (lighting & decor) categories thanks to our happy former clients who rave about our planning, DJ services and event uplighting after their weddings, year after year since first winning it in 2007. All DJ companies have an equal shot at those coveted awards... but only those who consistently do the best work win them again and again.

With any DJ service you are considering, be sure to check out their company with the Better Business Bureau. Real, professional companies will be listed there.  An A+ rating, like we proudly have at the BBB, means the highest level of professionalism and top quality service. An A+ rating also means no consumer complaints were filed for the last three years or more and that is a proven track record of customer satisfaction. Some national DJ services have numerous complaints on www.ripoffreport.com.... so don't get burned using an out-of-state "package deal" company.

We received the following thank-you note after another recent wedding at Tupper Manor in Beverly:

"Boy!! You blew away our expectations!! I have received so many compliments on our DJ selection. Phil's father actually fast-danced - UNHEARD OF! Michael, you are one of the first people I've worked with that surpassed all of their claims.  You really put my mind at ease because of how seriously you take each and every client's event and how much you love what you do.
Thanks you... loyal client for life." 
Kara Mann * & Phil DelMonti.   

*All our brides are special, but that recent AllStar bride, Kara Mann is a celebrity... search Google or YouTube and watch her appearance on the "Today" show.

Please read all our online "rave" reviews... our former brides tell it like it is.... and they rock!
