About

Exceptional wedding receptions with one vision in mind...YOURS.

Exclusive WEDDINGS ONLY entertainment. One company, ONE DJ, one commitment: "Excellence in Elegance" is my motto. As an accomplished professional voiceover artist, PA announcer, documentary narrator, and veteran Wedding Entertainment Director, I have mastered the artistry of presenting an event to reflect the discerning tastes of brides who envision an elegant reception conducted by a class act DJ / Emcee. Elegant and sophisticated but not stiff or stuffy, fun and entertaining but not wild or wacky. There are NO zany antics, NO inflatable props, NO plastic trinkets, NO group line dances, or goofy shenanigans to make a circus atmosphere out of your special once-in-a-lifetime reception. I won't force upon you MY vision of the perfect wedding reception - YOUR unique vision is my focus.

Thank you for your interest in Frederick Hart Entertainment and congratulations on your engagement. Now comes the daunting task of assembling a memorable wedding ceremony and reception. Using my professional experience, I will assist you in making the music and bridal party announcement portion of the reception the least worrisome aspect of your entire planning challenge. I anticipate bringing my 30 years of unique and elegant wedding expertise to your reception. Since 1994, the wedding reception has been the ONLY type of event that I DJ & emcee, and since 2001, my primary source of income. To date, I have personally conducted over 1,300 wedding receptions.

I adhere to the strict tenet that clients are given as much (or as little) control over every aspect of THEIR wedding reception. Not just music. I have had clients in the past who picked EVERY song. One last summer even specified the order that they were to be played. At the opposite end of the spectrum, there are those clients who pick nothing and trust their DJ's acumen. I work equally well with either extreme. Most clients pick a few of their favorites, select some special dedications, and proscribe all of the cheesy line dances and audience participation dances. I won't become an omnipresent character who takes over the spotlight and makes myself the star of the show...no guest will be coming to your reception to see the DJ. I can graciously and gently direct and maintain the spotlight on the bride and groom without ever stealing it...or even sharing it.

If a roomful of wedding guests are sitting and the dance floor is empty, it isn't because the DJ isn't being 'colorful' or animated enough. It's also not because he isn't 'working the crowd' on the mic or passing out plastic trinkets, inflatable instruments, or glowing necklaces. It isn't because he's not playing the right audience participation line dances or silly games. People dancing is a direct function of MUSIC. Infectious songs programmed in clever dance sets and inventively mixed in such a way that they create enthusiasm are what establish a celebratory atmosphere that packs the dance floor.

Bad DJs try to make people dance. Great DJs know how to make people WANT to dance.

I DJed my first wedding in 1989, became a 'weddings only' DJ in 1994, made it my only means of income in 2001, and to date have done over 1,300 wedding receptions. That experience and my ability to customize a completely unique affair are what set me quantum leaps ahead of the competition. It is my passion, profession, and livelihood, not a weekend hobby.

Thank you, DJ Frederick Hart!


We cant say enough great stuff about DJ Frederick Hart! From our very first conversation, it was clear that he was the right DJ for us. He asked thoughtful questions about our plan for the event and he paid close attention to the answers. Before the wedding, Fred was very accessible and a pleasure to work with. He talked us through the process and made sure that our lights and sound would be terrific. He even found us another vendor for a different event, and we were really happy with the price and quality of that vendor, too. Fred made a plan for the sound for the ceremony which was perfect--guests could hear every single word. We got multiple comments on the sound quality, and he did it all really well. Fred understood that what mattered most to us was that our guests felt loved and welcomed, and he made sure that the music kept the energy up without drowning out all the other ways people were connecting. One of our favorite compliments was from a guest who said it was impossible to leave the dance floor because our playlist and DJ were so great. We are so glad to have worked with Fred! You will have a wonderful experience with him, too.

An amazing experience with an AMAZING DJ!!!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We truly can't say enough great things about Fred. From the very beginning, he brought energy, professionalism, and a clear passion for what he does — and it all translated perfectly into our wedding day. He kept the dance floor packed all night, read the room flawlessly, and made the entire reception feel alive in the best way.
Fred isn't just a DJ — he's a full-on experience. He knows how to bring the fun, engage with the crowd, and keep things moving without ever feeling over-the-top or forced. He took the time to understand our vibe, tailored the music to match it, and then absolutely delivered. So many of our guests told us it was the best wedding dance floor they’ve ever been on.
Not only was the music incredible, but Fred himself is a joy to work with — funny, responsive, and incredibly kind. He even captured and sent us some photos from the night, which was such an unexpected but thoughtful gesture.
If you're looking for someone who will go above and beyond to make your wedding unforgettable, book Fred. You won’t regret it!!

Extremely professional and elegant DJ :)

We loved working with Fred from start to finish. When talking with him before our wedding, he made us feel like we were the only couple he had. He was so easy to work with, and when talking to him, I discovered that I loved his voice!! Lol. His announcements were excellent and he did an amazing job with the songs we chose (and chose some other great ones based off our list.) He also helped my sister set up her piano and the microphone to sing a song at our reception which was so special.

Fred is very elegant and clearly seasoned in what he does. I would highly recommend him for your wedding. He is personal and sent us photos, videos, and screenshots of our playlist very shortly after the wedding to keep. Thank you Fred and Silver Sound!

Professional, Helpful, Fun, Above and Beyond

DJ Fred provided audio and microphones for our ceremony, music for the cocktail hour, and MC services and music for our reception at the Franklin Institute. Preparing for the big day with Fred was a pleasure, as he was extremely communicative and offered a lot of good advice on not just the DJ-related parts of wedding planning, but anything else about the planning process we asked him about.
In getting our music set for each section of the wedding Fred let us have as much control as we wanted, so we put together a playlist of enough music to fill the time, and he mixed everything together for seamless playing and transitions. Fred has tons of experience playing weddings and puts that to good use heading off any mixups in advance by practicing names, a bulleted list of reception details to fill out, and a thorough prep call during the week leading up to your wedding.
The music at the reception was a highlight of our night, and Fred expertly combined cultural music, pop punk, and wedding classics to keep our dance floor full all night, just like we'd hoped!

Bonafide Professional Who Champions Love

DJ Fred was spectacular and all of our guests loved him! He is a complete professional and we would recommend him to any couple who values having a reliable, helpful, intuitive, and passionate DJ/emcee for their big day!

Communication was a breeze with Fred - in fact, it would be rare for him to not have the resources or the information we needed to help with planning our playlists and programs. Fred is a seasoned pro and understands what it takes to have a great event, however he also understands the importance to be grounded in the couple's vision and accepts all suggestions/revisions with grace.

Fred also anticipated our needs exceptionally well. When we had only hired him for mic setup for our Friday events, thinking our personal speaker would be enough, but he went ahead and provided complimentary professional speakers which made the events even more special.

With that said, DJ Fred's services provided so much value to our wedding while meeting our budgetary needs. His professionalism and engaging attitude is truly unmatched and we couldn't be more lucky to have had him DJ our wedding!

Fred Made Our Wedding Unforgettable

We cannot recommend Fred enough! From the very beginning, he was professional, understanding, and so easy to work with. Even when we had last-minute changes, he handled everything with patience and care.

What stood out most was how thoughtful he was in honoring our backgrounds—I am Egyptian and my husband is Korean, and many of our guests don’t speak English as their first language. Fred went out of his way to learn a few phrases in Arabic and Korean, which meant so much to our families. He also curated and mixed Arabic, Nubian, Korean, and English music seamlessly, creating the perfect atmosphere for everyone to enjoy.

Fred arrived super early to set up, made sure the ceremony and reception ran smoothly, and kept the dance floor packed all night long. His presence and personality truly added to the joy of the day.

Fred, THANK YOU so much for being such a big part of our celebration—you made it unforgettable!

Fred was our DJ-dream come true! Simply the best.

Frederick Hart was the DJ of our dreams. We booked him about 10 months before our wedding, having selected him because he places such strong emphasis on class, elegance and commitment to stellar service. Our wedding was wildly gorgeous, but Fred’s professionalism, perceptiveness and graciousness took our event to the next level. His musical curation was seamless, his verbal guidance and emcee style helped maintain a high, yet very chic, energy from start to finish. Leading up to the event he was exceptionally attentive and proactive in communicating with me; he reached out frequently in the 2 months leading up to our date to help guide me through the process. Fred was a joy and an asset to work with in every way; his most base standard is above and beyond. He makes you feel as his client that you are constantly his #1 priority. If you are a bride dreaming of an elevated, stately, seamless fairytale wedding experience then Fred simply is “the one.”
