Dave Hodges was the best DJ ever! We booked Dave as our DJ for our wedding at Shining Tides in 2019. After our first phone call, we knew immediately that we wanted to have him DJ our wedding. He is professional, has years of experience, and is so relaxed and chill, we loved his vibe! My husband and I both loved working with Dave throughout the past 2+ years. When we decided to postpone in 2020, he was quick to make the rescheduling easy to do for our wedding in August 2021. Picking our songs for the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing was easy with Dave's platform. I felt like after Dave took a look at our song choices he knew exactly what to play all night. Our dance floor was PACKED as soon as he announced the floor was open! Dave read the crowd and knew exactly what to play next to keep the party going. I swear I thought the dance floor was going to break. Thank you Dave for everything, the night could not have been more perfect thanks to you and we highly recommend Dave for your wedding DJ!

We are beyond grateful to have had DJ Dave Hodges from 5 Star Events as our wedding DJ! From the very first interaction, Dave was incredibly responsive, professional, and thorough—he truly went above and beyond to ensure that every musical moment of our day was seamless and meaningful.

Dave took the time to understand our vision and preferences, and his attention to detail was unmatched. From the ceremony music to cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing, everything flowed beautifully. He coordinated flawlessly with our planner and venue, so we didn’t have to worry about a thing.
What really stood out was how perfectly curated the music felt, from the first song to the very last dance. He read the room effortlessly and kept the energy exactly where it needed to be all night long. And to top it all off—his attire matched the ambiance of our wedding perfectly. It’s those thoughtful touches that made a huge difference and did not go unnoticed.
Our guests had an absolute blast, and we had the time of our lives. If you want someone who is professional, passionate, and an absolute joy to work with, DJ Dave is your guy. We can’t recommend him highly enough!

Dave is not only the best DJ on the Cape but he’s such a great guy and an incredible person to work with. Music was really important to us and we met with a few DJs but, after our first phone call with Dave, we knew he was the man for the job. His professionalism, enthusiasm, and expertise were clear from the start and evident all the way through the wedding and even after. A couple days after the wedding one of our family members posted on Instagram with pictures from the wedding and a song that was on our do not play list. As soon as Dave saw it, he messaged us with a funny comment about the irony of her posting pictures of the wedding with that song. We share that not only because it made us laugh but because most people would brain dump everything they know about their clients the minute the event is over, especially when you have weddings to cover the rest of the weekend, but with Dave you’re more than a client, he truly cares about making your wedding day special and goes above and beyond to make that happen. Dave was very communicative through the whole planning process, adapted to our specific music requests, matched the vibe we wanted perfectly, kept the dance floor thriving, and had answers to questions we didn’t even know to ask. When we say there’s none better than Dave, it’s not boasting or hyperbole, it’s just being honest.

Dave was all we could have asked for and more. He was supportive throughout our planning process. His communication was top notch. He ensured that the ceremony, dinner, and dancing music was in line with our tastes. He always asked for our ideas, preferences, and thoughts, but had a knack for knowing when we could use his expertise.

Not only was Dave outstanding throughout the planning process, he brought the energy and top-level service to our wedding day. He continued to display his strong communication skills by working with the coordinator and officiant. He was also a great, calming presence on a day that can be filled with anxiety.

In the dancing portion of the evening, Dave really brought the house down. He really knows how to keep a party going. Our guests are still raving about how much fun the music was - 3 months later. I couldn't recommend Dave enough.

We could not recommend Dave more. He was an exceptional DJ for our wedding in August, so easy to work with, and made us feel completely confident and at ease throughout the process. We had so many people tell us it was the best wedding dance floor they've been at, and the music was fantastic. We couldn't be happier that we hired him, and would do it again in a heartbeat.

We LOVE DJ Dave! Our guests could not stop talking about how much fun our wedding was and how they had such a great time on the dancefloor. Dave made planning an absolute breeze. We really had no idea what to expect or how to plan for our music and Dave was so great as he walked us through the process. His portal makes it so easy to add songs that you definitely want to hear as well as the "do not plays." The best part about it was that he really read our crowd and played the best songs ever. We had an absolute blast!

Dave Hodges at 5 Star Events is fantastic!! He was super helpful with planning the wedding's timeline and closely followed our desired playlist. He really knows how to get people on the dance floor! He dressed nicely and was very professional! Dave is a pleasure to work with!

I can’t begin to explain how great Dave Hodges was for our wedding. He was very thoughtful in his planning and collaboration with us prior to our wedding. While all weddings have last minute adjustments, he was thorough in ensuring everything would proceed as smooth as possible. Highly recommended for your wedding or event. We have found our DJ for any future events that come our way.

We could not have been happier with the services from Dave for our Wedding!! 10 out of 10 would recommend working with Dave for your event. From start to finish, Dave was responsive, friendly, and truly listened to what we wanted to make our special day so perfect. We even had a few extremely last minute changes that Dave was super accommodating with and made our day truly special. We really wanted a wedding full of dancing and fun music and that is exactly what Dave provided. We wish we could do it all over every weekend!! Thank you again Dave for everything, Best DJ / person ever!

My fiance and I had the pleasure of working with Dave from 5 Star Events as our wedding DJ. From the minute we began working with him, he was extremely professional, responsive and helpful. Then, COVID hit and we made the difficult decision to postpone. Dave was EXTREMELY flexible and understanding. Once we let him know our new date (and new venue) he remained flexible and attentive to what we wanted. He continued to be so easy to work with and spent time with us on the phone before our wedding day, helping us with the flow of the evening and various songs for each part of the night. Once the night began, he was awesome start to finish. The dance floor was packed all night and he really knew how to work the room. It's impossible to keep track of how many guests said our wedding was a blast, in large part to the great work done by Dave! Thank Dave for being a part of our special day and for making it so memorable! We highly recommend Dave!
