Shawn Williams was a great DJ. He carried the evening for our 50th wedding anniversary party. Creative, fun, spontaneous. Highly recommend Five Star Entertainment for any celebration . Our guests had a blast. Wouldnt have changed a thing.

When I was planning my wedding I already knew who I wanted to be our DJ, and it was Shawn Williams, owner of Five Star Entertainment. I've been to many great weddings and some not so entertaining weddings and the common denominator for the great ones was Five Star. You should expect to drop a chunk of change to get Mr. Williams "on demand", although he does have other impeccable staff (but I recommend you go with Shawn) at a less expensive rate. During my wedding, there was nev

My husband and I got married in 2012 and people are still asking us who did our music- because he did such an amazing job of reading the crowd and keeping the dance floor going. He also acted some what of a wedding coordinator, keeping the flow of the reception moving in a timley matter (time for the father daughter dance, toast, cut the cake, garter and flower toss). He set up amazing lighting that added so much to the venue- we barley had to decorate. We are so thankful that we chose Fivestar and would recommend them to anyone.

I hired Shawn for a family member's wedding and it was the best contribution to the wedding I could have made. He picked up the slack for the other vendors, kept everything on time, and got my entire family out on the dance floor. We all had a blast! Also, his room lighting was amazing! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Shawn with Five Entertainment was great! He was enthusiastic and open to my "out of the box" ideas. Although I was a little worried about the what the song list might be for the entire reception, I left it up to Shawn to "do his thing." The ceremony, cocktail hour and reception music was at a acceptable level (a few wedding's I've been to had the music up way too loud and the speakers were blaring). Everyone could hear us say our vows and could hear each other sitting at the tables. The reception dance music seemed to start off like all other weddings I've been too and people were not getting out on the floor, but Shawn caught that and immediately shifted the music to something more what the people wanted. By the end of the night we were doing the "Soul Train" line up dance and even ended the night off with a "Harlem Shake" video where everyone of our guests participated!

Shawn did a fantastic job of running the show from grand entrance to last dance! Of note he managed the time line in a very subtle and all encompassing demeanor. If the flexibility scale could go to 10 Shawn would receive an 11. Making a special last minute run for the bride and groom half way around town to retrieve the saber used for the cake cutting. Unbelievable and unforgettable job Shawn and Five Star Entrainment. Thank you for all of the memories,

This is the message I sent Shawn a few days after my daughter's wedding: Thank you so much for your services during Alli's and Christian's wedding reception. You were perfect for our family centered celebration and everything ran smoothly from beginning to end. The music was perfect for dinner conversation, then upbeat for fun and dancing. As Master of Ceremonies, you hit the right note, helping us flow from one highlight to another. We'd love working with you again sometime. Thank you!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
