We were lucky enough to have AllStar DJ Anthony Arone at our New Years Wedding, and could not have been happier!! Thank you so much Anthony!! The ceremony was perfect, the dinner music choices were upbeat, but not overbearing just enough to keep everyone exited about what was about to happen. We LOVED the projector screen, from the family photos all the way to the Live audio and video feed of New Years Eve from Times Square, Everyone truly felt like they were part of a New Years wedding! Thank You SO much! can't wait to recommend you to ALL our friends!!

My husband and I hired AllStar Entertainment for DJ and uplighting services after some careful research in our wedding planning. The AllStar team was absolutley flawless. Our Dj, Todd DellaPorta, was professional, reliable, listened to our every wish, friendly on the mic, and kept EVERYONE on the dance floor all night. Knowing that the DJ you select can make or break your wedding, we were happy to see that we absolutley made the right decision. Outstanding! Our lighting technician, Andrea, was at our event all night to control lighting changes. The lighting changed beautifully according to the moment happening. Our wedding could not have been more prefect. My husband and I were totally at ease with these vendors. They walked us through every step of the preparation. Should we or any of our families need future DJ or uplighting services, Todd and Andrea from AllStar are our people. Many years of experience and expertise are apparent in the way this company runs it's business. I rate the AllStar team with 5 stars even though they actually deserve 10!

Michael Edwards is a DJ like no other. He has the experience you need in a great DJ - and he really cares!! We had a blast getting to know him, and having him MC or special day! He takes his job seriously, and that means we knew we didn't have to worry about a thing!
Andrea Duvall doesn't just provide UpLights - she is an artist! She bring a light show with her. Ending out night dancing under the stars was amazing! She highlights all the best parts of the room! People were blown away!

Want to know how good Josh from AllStar was? I flew him to San Francisco from Boston for my wedding. Josh has done over 15+ parties, weddings and other celebrations for my family and friends. We can't get enough of him.

I am pretty specific and picky when it comes to music. I'm always grabbing the mic, getting the crowd to sing a long and requesting the next song. I've had a vision in my head of how I wanted the music at my wedding reception to play out for about 5 years now. I was dead worried about getting any other DJ than Josh from AllStar. A lot of DJ's try to take over the show and make it about them. Not Josh. I gave him a list of about 120 songs segmented across the entire night. Him and I reviewed it several times. We both knew we couldnt play every single song I wanted but I had 100% trust in him.

Not once during the night did I have to go up and ask when my songs were going to come on or tell him to change anything. He had the dance floor packed the entire night. Honestly, there wasn't a person sitting down for over 3 hours. Every single person I spoke to in the coming months after the wedding said it was hands down the best dance floor they've ever been a part of. Josh was able to play music that everyone could enjoy - he never stuck on a certain segment too long. If he noticed some older people were dropping off after a few hit songs he would pull them right back in with some classics. It was honestly unreal. I wish I could relive the night again.

I am one of the most demanding people when it comes to music and he handled it like an absolute pro. I wouldn't have flown him out 3,000 miles if he wasn't! After my wedding all of my friends from Boston and the North Shore were requesting his info. I honestly can't think of ever having another DJ for any of my family events ever again.

If you don't believe me feel free to contact me at jbozarjian@gmail.com and I can give you even more details. I would vouch for Josh and AllStar Entertainment any day.

5 stars easily!

My daughter and son-in-law were married on 10/9/11 at Willowbend Country Club in Mashpee, Ma. and Michael Edwards of Allstar Entertainment was their extraordinary DJ. From the 1st time we met with Mike, we felt confident that he was a professional who would bring his very best to the reception...and he did. As soon as the formalities were out of the way, the dance floor was at capacity for the rest of the night. He read the crowd with pinpoint precision and kept the momentum going for the whole evening. Great sound...great songs...some personal touches and surprises...just the best of the best. Thanks, Mike

For our wedding we used DJ Brian McCarthy. He is unbelievable! He is very entertaining and knows how to get the crowd up and moving. We had children at our wedding and he did different things to keep them entertained as well. All my guest loved him.

We had DJ Michael Edwards and uplighting that was provided by Andrea Duvall. DJ Michael Edwards is awesome, he's truly a professional DJ and works very closely with you to go over all the details. He's also very good at reading the crowd to help keep them up on the dance floor all night long! We had so many compliments on how great he was and how awesome the music was. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a fun and professional DJ!
We also loved working with Andrea for the uplighting, she also works closely with you to personalize your wedding with colors and to set the tone for the different parts of the evening. She is really nice and professional. The uplighting really makes all the difference, it is a great enhancement well worth the money!

I chose to have Brian McCarthy from Allstar Entertainment as the DJ for my wedding and it was the best choice I could have made! He was absolutely amazing at creating the perfect atmosphere. Brian really got the crowd going, not only playing music but performing for the crowd as well. I also had a couple of rambunctious 6 year old girls at the wedding and Brian was so great with them. He let them get on stage and perform a Taylor Swift song! He even gave my niece the microphone to use! Everyone thought it was great - out of tune, but great :-)

I highly recommend Brian McCarthy because he is not simply a DJ. He is truly an entertainer. Brian knows how to have a good time and he knows how to make a bride happy. My husband and I got so many compliments at our wedding and after, everyone saying how much they loved our DJ. In fact, I know of several people that now want to hire him for their events! A bad DJ can ruin a wedding. A great DJ can make it unforgettable. Brian was worth every penny!! Our wedding was amazing and we have Brian to thank for that.

We booked Brian McCarthy for our wedding this past September. He was FANTASTIC! Our guests were entertained and danced the entire night! We were very impressed with All-Star Entertainment and the quality of service we received from all members of their team. We HIGHLY recommend All-Star Entertainment (especially Brian McCarty) to DJ weddings and/or special events for people who love dancing and want to keep their guests on the dance floor.

Allstar Entertainment, Michael Edwards was the DJ at our wedding last Month and did an amazing job. As all the reviews that I read before I decided on using them said, they got everyone on the dance floor and it was very true. My 86 grandmother even was dancing and had a blast. They really know how to read a crowd and keep the party going. We even had a few games that were introduced to us that night by the DJ and the crowd loved them as did we. We highly recommend Allstar Entertainment as they were very responsive, easy to work with and were on top of everything. A special thanks to Michael Edwards again for such a great job!!!!!!!!!!! We hope to be able to use them again in the future if the opportunity arises.

AllStar Entertainment/Michael Edwards was the DJ at my daughter's wedding and we are all so glad we chose All Star. Michael Edwards was great to work with and spent at least 2 and 1/2 hours with my husband and I and daughter and son in law before we even booked with him. He is knowlegdable, professional, flexible and listens to what his clients want at their wedding. Our guests raved about the DJ and said it was one of the best weddings they have been to in years. Thank you Michael for making our daughter's wedding so much fun and very special.

All Star DJ and SPECIFICALLY Josh Wiseman as the DJ and Andrea as the uplighting coordinator blew me away! I won a contest and had the task of planning the entire wedding in 3 weeks without my fiancees help. I literally had to plan everything! The entertainment was really important to us so I looked for the best and I found it! Josh and I only talked a couple times before the wedding because I had so much going on but that's all he needed. The music was exactly as I had asked for the ceremony, the intros into the reception were awesome, and the reception itself was a blast. Josh did a great job keeping the party going when needed and having great background music when needed as well. My wife, along with many guests, commented on what a fantastic job he did. And the place looked awesome thanks to Andrea! Mike, the owner was a pleasure to deal with too and you can see the passion he has for what he does. Weekend warrior dj's are ok, but I promise you that they can't compare to guys like Josh and All Star DJ. If you can book them for your wedding or any other party, do it!

We'd like to thank Joe, the groom (and the Oprah Winfrey Network's upcoming TV Show "Don't Tell the Bride") for hiring AllStar Entertainment & UpLighting to provide both the DJ/MC and uplighting design for this exciting, nationally televised show. We had a blast making your wedding so special... and all in less than 3 weeks from your first call. What a great couple!!

All Star Entertainment was amazing to work with, and specifically our DJ James DiNanno, Michael the owner did a wonderful job choosing him for us. James was so professional to work with and was there to answer all of our questions in a timely manner. He MADE our wedding day. Guests of all ages were dancing and kept raving " this is the best DJ". We highly recommend All Star Entertainment and specifically James DiNanno
Thanks James!

We love hearing that so many guests tell our brides, "Best DJ we've ever seen" no matter which of our 3 DJ pricing levels (Silver, Gold or Platinum) performed at the wedding. James had a great time at your wedding, and the team at AllStar thanks you again for trusting us with the biggest day of your life.

We had a fantastic experience with AllStar Entertainment. Choosing Peter Healey as our DJ was one of the best decisions we made. Peter was professional and so easy to work with. He did an INCREDIBLE job of keeping all our friends and family on the dance floor. There was never a lull on the dance floor, and we've had numerous guests comment on how much fun our wedding was because the music was so great.

Peter got everyone around the dance floor prior to us being announced, and after our first dance we had a 20 minute dance set which I think set the tone for the evening. People were enthusiastic, happy and that energy just carried throughout the entire night.

Peter is a true expert. He is willing to do what YOU want. We gave him a sampling of music that we liked and he went off of that. As I said, he made our wedding so much fun. I would hire him again in a second. If you want an enthusiastic DJ that will make your day exactly as you want it, then hire Peter Healey.
