Dave was absolutely amazing! He was so accommodating when plans kept changing throughout the night and even helped with ideas. Dave had the entire party of all ages up and dancing and having so much fun. Thank you for that crazy dubstep 😉 and for having Harris get to DJ his own set!! We couldn’t have asked for anyone better for our special day.Afino Entertainment's reply:

I was surprised and enjoyed every aspect of your special day. It was a wonderful experience, shared with friends and family.

Thank you so much! It was such an honor to be a part of your day. We had the perfect weather, and we were blessed with an entire newly renovated venue, long after the date was booked!

Thank you for taking the time to write a review, and thank you for being so kind and polite. We wish you peace, love, and happiness. Congratulations Mr. & Mrs. Burak! -

Absolutely Amazing!!
We had a complete ball at our wedding and I think the music was spot on and catered to every age group. Even my Grandmother was dancing! Don’t think there was ever a time where the dance floor was empty so thank you so very much. The night flew by. We aren't huge dancers, but we were that night. Dave answered all my crazy questions at all hours of the night promptly for 2 years straight while planning this wedding. From the first phone call I knew he was our perfect fit. Dave is very thourough and you can tell he loves what he does. His suggestions for the evening for our bouquet toss, shoe game, and anniversary dance were all a huge hit.
Thanks so much for all your efforts at our wedding. Was truly the best night of our lives. We had a fantastic night and the music was exactly what we wanted. You did a great job!
We suggest Dave at Afino Entertainment for any event! He is the best!
Love,

Ashley & Stephanie, thank you so much! We're so happy you put your trust in us to provide a memorable experience for you and all of your guests. It's always a pleasure performing at The Grand at 1600 in Lakewood. We had beautiful weather, a gorgeous outdoor ceremony, and all of your decorations and music requests were enjoyed by myself and all of your friends and family. I loved spending time with you going over every detail. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your special day. I wish you both peace, love, happiness, and continued success! Congratulations : ) -

Katherine Sent on 07/10/2019Wedding was a HUGE SUCCESS! Thanks to DAVE!!!
Dave did such an amazing job for our outdoor rooftop wedding in Midtown NYC! We received many compliments on our choice of DJ! Our venue was a little bit challenging in terms of loudness of music and noise as we are on a Midtown rooftop, but that limitations did not stop Dave from throwing such an amazing fun wedding party! He had such an awesome selection of music and had everyone dancing nonstop! The night before the wedding, me and my now husband can't decide on what music for our first dance, dance with parents etc.. and Dave's suggestions are very impressive! it feels like we've been friends for years and definitely knows our styles! everything turned out so perfect! Great sound and lighting equipment and phenomenal Emcee skills! very engaging! We are beyond grateful having Dave as part of our Special Day! SUPER HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! 10 STARS FOR YOU DAVE! WELL DONE!Afino Entertainment's reply:
Katherine & Jeremy, thank you so much! You two had such beautiful weather for the perfect rooftop wedding at the Midtown Loft & Terrace, right at the heart of NYC. It was such a breathtaking experience. Thank you for being so kind and caring to all of your vendors and guests. It made for such a wonderful night. We congratulate you and your family. It was an honor to be there to celebrate your special day with you. Congratulations Mr. & Mrs. Wildt! We wish you peace, love, happiness, and continued success :) -

The best Entertainer ever!! He was the absolute best from beginning to end, to putting our dream music together, no one ever left the dance floor! My guest are still raving about "Your DJ". He played the right music at the right time and was even jamming with us on the dance floor! I couldn't have hired a better entertainer than @afinomusic from Afino EntertainmentAfino Entertainment's reply:
Jolina & Larry, thank you so much!! You two are the most beautiful people, and you have a family that loves and cares about you.

Laura Sent on 04/04/2019Dave was amazing!! Incredibly easy to work with & knowledgeable! Definitely recommend him!!
Dave was extremely thorough and detailed in our meetings before the wedding and because of this, our day went perfectly. He was an excellent emcee for the whole day. His knowledge of weddings and current trends was great & he was extremely helpful with planning the timeline & all the music for the day according to OUR wants. He was an absolute pleasure to work with & incredibly professional throughout all the planning & our day!! I would highly recommend using Afino for any event. I will use him again for sure!!!Afino Entertainment's reply:
Laura & Greg, thank you so incredibly much! I'll always remember how beautiful your outdoor ceremony was, despite the fact that we anticipated bad weather.. because that never happened. The weather was perfect! : ) You two have a beautiful love story, and you have such a great group of family and friends! It was such an honor to be there. Congratulations Mr. & Mrs. Machnicz!

Adam Sent on 10/28/2018Dave was great!
Afino Entertainment was absolutely amazing!! Dave was extremely helpful since my wife and I were not sure what a typical wedding format was. His online form not only helped us pick the songs we wanted, but outlined what the entire night would be like. One of the extras that is a MUST is the uplighting that he provides. It is well worth the price and made our wedding night that much more special. Dave was also very personable and flexible and is probably one of the best DJs for weddings in the tristate area.Afino Entertainment's reply:
Adam & Valerie, thank you so much!! I had such a great time with you and your guests at your wedding. We were blessed with a beautiful day, gorgeous weather, to celebrate your special day at the South Norwalk Boat Club. It was an absolute pleasure working with you to create a playlist of music and a timeline to follow that everyone enjoyed. I loved getting to know both of you. We share similar stories. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your special day. It was an honor to be there! You're the best : ) -
![Gina]()
Gina Sent on 10/15/2018Great Experience
Dave was great from start to finish. He was very knowledgeable and very responsive to any of my questions. From the customized slide shows, to dancing on the clouds, to my custom light logo on the wall, he did it all. He knew exactly what music to play based on the questions he asked me and also played some of the Greek music I requested, the crowd went NUTS and are still raving about him. I will definitely use him again for any future events and I highly recommend him.Afino Entertainment's reply:
Gina & Ben, thank you so much! I'm so glad that you and your family enjoyed the party. It was an honor for Stephanie and I to be a part of your special day. I had a great time organizing multiple photo slideshows to display during your special dances and your engagement photos during dinner. Your first dance (on the clouds) utilizing the dry ice fog machine was absolutely beautiful! It was my first time at The Hanover Manor. You chose SUCH a GORGEOUS VENUE! Everything was absolutely stunning. I loved working with you to put together a great playlist of music for both sides of the family, including our Greek songs and dances. Thank you for such a great experience. We wish you and your family peace, love, happiness, and continued success for many years. Congratulations!! : ) -

Billy Sent on 11/07/2018Dedication, Professionalism, and Talent!
We used Dave / Afino Entertainment for our Wedding @ Sea Cliff Manor, in Sea Cliff, NY on 9/21/18. And we are so glad we did!
From the first conversation I had with Dave, I had a good feeling about him. My fiance (now wife) and I had something pretty specific in mind about the DJ we wanted for our wedding. We were not a fan of the separate emcee/DJ format in which the emcee obnoxiously over-hypes everything.
We wanted a DJ who could also emcee, but knew where to hype the crowd and when to just let the music speak for itself. We wanted a DJ that had some actual DJing skills: being able to read the crowd and mix tracks well, keeping people on the dance floor! We also wanted someone who could incorporate songs we wanted to hear during different parts of the evening (mostly during cocktail hour and dinner).
Well, Dave met and exceeded our expectations in all of the above areas. First of all, he is extremely organized and has an online format form for you to fill out. This covers just about everything you can think of, and most importantly to me, gave us the opportunity to provide a list of songs we wanted to hear in each part of the evening. What I found really great was that for the cocktail hour playlist, Dave took my suggestions and made a continuous mix to be played. Later on, he uploaded this to mixcloud so we could re-live that aspect of the wedding. Nice touch!
Dave is extremely responsive and answered all my annoying emails within a few hours, tops... but usually within minutes! Our last phone call before the event was over an hour long! I say that as a compliment of course... he covered aspects of the evening I had not even thought of, and gave me peace of mind knowing that he was taking care of the flow of the party. The day of the event, Dave worked so well with my videographer and photographer, having never met them before. I noticed them truly working as a team throughout the night, which was awesome to see! Also, his lighting system was awesome and very reasonable to add to the package.
Lastly, the next morning we woke up to find a highlight video that Dave put together! We are only just now (almost two months later) getting to see footage from our videographer, so how cool is that that Dave was taking little videos throughout the night? He keeps a "wedding VLOG" playlist on his YouTube, from all the weddings he works.
What more can I say? I could not possibly give him a higher rating.Afino Entertainment's reply:
Billy & Rebecca, thank you so much! This is the best review I've ever received from someone. I'm speechless. You actually noticed every little detail and that means so much to me! We try to go above and beyond to make the day as special as possible, and I'm truly grateful to hear that you and her enjoyed all of the moments we had with family and friends. It was an absolute pleasure working with you to create a special experience for everyone, and I loved the music and all of the specific details you included. It makes a difference when any couple decides to be creative so we have something to work with. You put in just as much work and we greatly appreciate that! Thank you so much for taking the time to write such an incredible review. I can't thank you enough. It was an honor to be a part of your special day. I hope that you two continue to experience many more years of happiness, joy, laughter, good luck, and peace with one another! Thank you, and once again, congratulations!! -
Tonya Sent on 10/07/20181. DAVE IS THE BEST!
2.If you’re going to read a review, this is the one you should read!!!
When planning a wedding, you have so many difficult decisions to make; from picking the perfect dress, the flowers/centerpieces, colors, and meeting demands of family members. It can be so overwhelming! Luckily, for me, the easiest decision (next to marrying my best friend) was choosing Dave as our DJ! As cliché as it sounds, this is not just a job for Dave; he goes above and beyond to make sure your event goes flawless by putting his all into it. At the time I was planning my wedding I was also going through graduate school, which was also demanding. Due to this, I found it helpful to get a jump on things as early as I could. Some people looked at me like I was crazy doing some things super early, but Dave didn’t! He understood my hectic schedule and really worked with me and met me where I was in the process. About two weeks before the big day he sat on the phone with me for about an hour and a half going over what music I wanted, when I wanted certain songs played and how I wanted the vibe of the room throughout the night (including the lights). He also threw out some ideas regarding entrances and placements of songs that I would NEVER thought of (but then again that’s what separates me from him as the professional)! As someone who planned the day out minute by minute, he understood and truly grasped what I was looking for. When I got to the venue after the ceremony, I was completely blown away with his set up and how he took control of making sure everything ran smoothly. As someone who is a type A personality, I was actually able to relax and have fun because I just KNEW it was in good hands! My husband and I can’t express how much we are thankful that Dave was the DJ for our wedding!
Afino Entertainment's reply:
Tonya & David, thank you so much!! It was an absolute honor to be a part of your special day. Stephanie and I had such a great time celebrating the occasion with you and all of your guests. You two were amazing! The number of tears and laughter experienced was well worth all the planning and preparation! I'm so glad that you were happy with everything. Your music requests were literally perfect. I play some of them now at other events (those beautiful country songs I never heard until you requested them). We loved the Photo Booth vendor you chose too! He was great to work with, and he shared with me a few other custom options he offers. That was a great addition to the party! Dave blew me away with his surprise entrance on his little toy motorcycle leading up to the garter removal. I was in tears witnessing how hilarious and adorable he made that special moment. Thank you for working with us to create an incredible experience for everyone. We love you both and wish you many years of peace, love, happiness, and continued success! Thank you for allowing Stephanie and I to be a part of your special day. Congratulations Mr. & Mrs. Molhem! : ) -

Gail Sent on 08/15/2018We could not have been happier with our choice of Afino to deejay our wedding at Yankee Stadium. Dave was professional, warm, friendly and so easy to work with from beginning to end. We especially appreciated how he paid so much attention to detail and took the time to explain how things would go. Very reassuring at each stage, especially when we worried rain might make us move the ceremony indoors. Thankfully the sun shone for us! Must say Afino was well-priced for all the work that went into our wedding. Afino’s online forms made planning and paying expertly efficient. Highly recommend!
Afino Entertainment's reply:
Gail and Drew, thank you so much!! Those photos are so adorable. You two are absolutely wonderful. When you asked me to be a part of your wedding at Yankee Stadium, I was astounded. It was my first time there! As you can tell, I don't get out much besides the locations I go to for work. What an incredible place to have a wedding. It fit your personality and style magnificently. I loved working with you to create a unique and memorable experience for all of your guests. The view was absolutely stunning, and I loved your vows to one another. It had me very emotional. I'm happy the two of you had the opportunity to do this for one another. Thank you so much for writing a great review! I wish you peace, love, happiness, and continued success for many more years. Congratulations! : ) -
