DJ Dave Smith is the best!

I have hired many DJs in my lifetime for both private and corporate events and we hired DJ Dave Smith for our daughter’s wedding and he was outstanding. You could not ask for more from a DJ. He carried out everything we asked for, and it was done with the utmost professionalism. Hire him you will not be disappointed.

Best DJ!!!

James exceeded our expectations. We got married a on 10.25.25 and all I have heard from my guests since is how fantastic our DJ was and how amazing the music was. The whole process with James was so smooth. He not only was the DJ but he also was my timeline coordinator as I’m terrible with those types of things. I had a bunch of questions and he answered them quickly and professionally. He helped me understand the timeline and when everything was supposed to happen as I had no clue. Reassured me it was going to be an amazing day and that it was! He made sure to communicate with our guests and get them involved with the dancing. We danced the entire reception and some even wanted to dance more when it was over. I’m so glad we hired James to DJ our wedding and be apart of our special day! Such a fun, laid back, and caring person. He wants your vision to come true. I am forever grateful for him and would highly recommend him to anyone wanting their wedding to be a memorable one!

Amazing Service!

James did an amazing job with our wedding. Everything was set up and ready to go when we arrived. He made sure that all of the songs were correct, gave us extra time when needed, did frequent check ins with us, and played some amazing music! James not only did a great job at DJing but he also helped out where he could! He helped some older guests with their dinner plates, he announced all the tables for us and he assisted with the sparkler send off. I would 1000% recommend James to anyone!! Thank you again James!!

James was amazing!

My fiancé (now wife) were a little uneasy to find a DJ, especially because of some horror stories we heard. We were ready to interview a whole bunch just to be safe, but when we were at the end of our interview with James, we hired him on the spot. He was very calm, knowledgeable, and put our needs as his priority.

During the wedding he was great. He went above and beyond, gave advice and recommendations, and was a great master of getting people onto the dance floor!

We love Fred!!

My husband and I got married in August and had the pleasure of having Fred as our DJ! Fred had us fill out a wishlist for all of the music that we wanted or didn't want for our ceremony and reception. He also took many recommendations from our guests which everyone loved!! Fred plays a perfect blend of music and he really elevated our wedding experience!! Thank you so much Fred!!

DJ James Crushed It!

From start to finish our experience with Fred Pappalardo DJ services was easy and convenient. Our DJ, James McNally, worked with us to create a set list that was reflective of our vision while incorporating songs that got the whole group dancing. Throughout the night, James was professional, kind, and kept the party bumping! A pleasure to work with :)
