    DJ Crewz did great!

    Guests were raving about the DJ who did a great job keeping people on the dance floor the entirety of the event. Pre planning meetings helped ease any concerns and displayed top notch professionalism.

    Breakthrough Entertainment is next level

    Absolutely the best DJ around. Walked us through the day and what they offer and suggest, listened to what we wanted and made the day outstanding. The DJ can make or break your wedding. Mike and the Breakthrough entertainment crew took our wedding to the next level.

    Tremendous

    My husband and I got married on Friday April 9th, 2021. Due to all things covid this was our postponed date. Our original date was September 26th, 2020. Postponing and wedding planning for our destination wedding in the Finger Lakes was hard enough. Trying to navigate a pandemic and the rules and regulations was even harder. Angel/DJ Ara and Breakthrough Entertainment went above and beyond to help make us feel reassured in the unknowns of wedding planning. Angel was fantastic through all the phone and video calls. My husband and I keep talking about wanting to redo our wedding just to have Angel DJ again. The music was fantastic and he did a great job incorporating any and all requests. We highly recommend him to anyone. With all the unknown of the Pandemic it was reassuring to know that Breakthrough Entertainment would work with us on what we decided was best even when we postponed.

    Amazing experience!

    Working with Mike (DJ Napps) was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. We were overwhelmed with finding a DJ at first, but after hearing from a friend who had attended a wedding he played RAVE about his skills, we immediately looked him up.

    Right from the start we were met with quick responses and clear information (Melinda, the general manager at Breakthrough was absolutely wonderful to work with when we first inquired). Mike was flexible with setting up meeting times, and amazing when it came to helping us map out the night, and really got our timeline nailed down (he was like an event planner and DJ rolled into one). He made us feel more than confident that every aspect, from the ceremony to the cocktail hour to the reception, was going to be perfect.

    He and his team exceeded every expectation, and truly made it a night we will never forget. Every song he played was exactly the kind of music and vibe we were hoping for, and he kept the energy going throughout the entire reception. We still have people talking about how much fun they had dancing the night away -- there wasn't a time when the dance floor wasn't completely full!

    I cannot recommend them enough, so if you are on the fence, or are just finding Breakthrough Entertainment, look no further, these guys are the BEST.

    Amazing DJ

    Angel (DJ Ara) DJ'd our wedding this August and it was flawless. He took care of getting the timeline for the day created and keeping everything organized from start to finish. We even had a few last minute things pop up during our dances that he accommodated on the fly to keep everything moving seamlessly. I'd 100% call him again for any other DJ needs in the future!

    Wonderful to work with!

    My husband is all about his music. DJ Jestyr worked with us to create an evening of music that pleased all at our reception AND included a diversity of genres. Our dance floor was full all night. Thank you!!!

    My experience with this vendor was phenomenal. Angel is truly a great DJ.

    Angel did an amazing job at our wedding on 7/26/19. He was extremely helpful, professional and kind. His organization and responsiveness made planning the music at our wedding very easy. We had all different types of music and he knew how to keep the party going. Angel truly cared that we had a great experience-and thanks to him, we certainly did!

    Amazing Wedding Experience!

    DJ Crewz at Breakthrough DJ just did my wedding and I couldn't have been happier! He was able to keep the wedding timeline, while staying flexible to changes AND he was able to keep guests on the dance floor! (my number 1 priority!). It was a flawless wedding thanks to DJ Crewz! I HIGHLY recommend DJ Crewz & Breakthrough DJ!

    -- I also got the photo booth which my guests had a TON of fun with! Days later we are still talking about all the fun photos! Definitely worth it!

    DJ A-Live was a blast!

    We hired DJ A-Live (Adam Main) as our DJ for our wedding in May. He was so flexible and professional with every meeting and delivered a perfect night! My husband and I have very conflicting tastes in music and he was able to craft together an incredible playlist for our cocktail hour that reflected us. He had never been to our venue but researched the layout and had no problems with sound or set up. He directed the whole entire night perfectly and kept the music and energy going until the end. He made special requests for shout outs and found a couple of Greek dancing songs for my husband's family. The music reflected exactly what we planned for and DJ A-live was a blast!

    Dj ara was amazing!

    We had great service from DJ ARA! He mixed all types of music together to make it more like a club atmosphere. He had the dance floor packed all night long. We had a blast thanks to him! We are so particular with music that we love and he met all of our requests. He was super personable and professional. We would highly recommend him for a great party!!!!!

    DJ Hogan was absolutely incredible. He had many suggestions to help us keep the party going, what order to do things in that made the most sense for our timeline and to keep our guests happy, and was very professional. He checked in with the bride & groom regularly (but without being distracting) to make sure everything was going to plan, and made sure to play our favorites for us. He also did a great job mixing songs together so that transitions from one song to another made sense, and he put our requests into an order that kept the party going all night long. I loved working with him and recommend him to anyone in the market for a wedding/party DJ.

    We lived out of town from our wedding. DJ Ara spoke with us on the phone before booking which made us feel comfortable and confident. We had a final meeting where we went through some cultural specific songs we needed and announcements. Dj Ara came to the rehersal to ensure everyone was on the same page. Everything went so smoothly. He kept the dance floor filled all night. He got all of the songs we needed, and edited our first dance just like we needed. His calming demeanor brought a good energy to the wedding, and he has an excellent taste in music. He really tailored songs appropriately throughout the night. I just couldnt have asked for anything better. We highly recommend him.

    DJ Hogan is Amazing!!

    We are so happy we went with Breakthrough Entertainment, and DJ Hogan to be our DJ. He made our special day perfect and personal. He made time to talk to us several times leading up to the wedding and was very good about being organized and had tons of great ideas for how to have a spectacular party. He really pays attention to details, and took things he heard from the speeches into account (example my love of The Beatles and Red Sox), and would incorporate that into the music played. DJ Hogan is so friendly and is the best DJ I have seen! I have recommended them to several friends getting married, and would definitely hire him again!!

    BreathThrough Entertainment is the BEST!!! My Wife & I just got married on 8/18/18 and ANGEL was our DJ. By far the most Professional, Organized and Fun DJ we could have ever asked for. If you're looking for a DJ, stop looking, because this is your guy. From Ceremony to Final Dance of the night, ANGEL truly made our special day! We recommend BreakThrough Entertainment to ANY & ALL getting married. Thanks again for everything, we'll never forget our special day!

    Breakthrough entertainment was amazing to work with! We used them for both our DJ and photo booth. We had DJ Sweet and he was amazing. He helped us make our playlist and offered great suggestions. We ended up extending an hour because everyone was having such a great time on the dance floor!

    Professional Amazing DJs & Emcees Well Worth the Money

    The team at Breakthrough Entertainment is absolutely amazing and I can't recommend them enough. I absolutely love working with DJ Naps, Melinda, and the team at Breakthrough. As a wedding planner, it's important to me that I work with other wedding professionals that have integrity, professionalism, and will take care of my clients. Mike and his team are extremely professional and amazing at what they do. Melinda is super organized and responsive and their DJ's always get the party going and keep it going! They also make great Emcees, which is so important to me as the planner as they're moving the day along from one micro-event to the next. I recently had the pleasure of working with Mike, Melinda, and DJ Hogan on a wedding and, despite all the challenges this pandemic has brought, they were professional, responsive, flexible, and cognizant of keeping everyone safe. The music and cues went very smoothly and everyone loved the mixes by DJ Hogan. I'm so grateful we have Breakthrough Entertainment here in Rochester and highly recommend them to everyone. I look forward to working with them on many more weddings and events.

    We used DJ Jestyr for our daughter's wedding and he did a great job! Stuck with the couple's list for music, kept the dancing going. They had several meetings with him and we met with him once as well to make sure everything went according to plan and it went very smoothly. Everyone enjoyed the music, the lighting was perfect for our venue at the Century Club in Rochester. Dave was very easy to work with and professional and personable. Would highly recommend him and Breakthrough to anyone hosting a wedding.

    BreakThrough was awesome! DJ Chris Sweet was our DJ for our wedding and we are so thankful for him! He was fantastic throughout the whole planning process & wedding night. The planning sheets online were so helpful & the uplighting in the venue was perfect. The microphones for the ceremony & speeches were perfect. Chris was amazing and my family & friends loved him!

    Our photobooth attendant was also amazing! Everyone loved all of the props that BreakThrough provided and my family couldn't step away from the photobooth. I received all the pictures (both singles and the printed versions) just a few days after the wedding and I couldn't be happier with them!

    I definitely recommend BreakThrough for all of your wedding music & photobooth needs!

    The very best wedding dj!

    I want to take the opportunity to thank the team that made our wedding a true celebration, BreakThrough Entertainment led by the talented Mike DjNaps Napoli.

    Mike DjNaps Napoli was the VERY FIRST vendor we reached out to for our wedding. In fact, we cleared our possible wedding dates with him prior to booking our venue because it was so important to us to have him DJ at our wedding.

    I had the pleasure of working with Mike at the University of Rochester for various events, and I knew that when I got married, I wanted him to be our DJ. Many people thought I was crazy for wanting a DJ from upstate New York when we are in the tri-state area with plenty of great DJ companies, but having worked with Mike before, I knew he was in a league of his own and would execute our wedding exactly as we wanted- and he did indeed!

    We had a very specific musical vision as we had a traditional Orthodox Jewish ceremony and a more secular party. We opted for a band for the ceremony, and Mike worked seamlessly with our band- alternating between DJ and band for our ceremony.

    Mike was a fantastic MC, following our wedding timeline to a T and keeping the energy of our wedding up all night long.

    We also had Breakthrough Entertainment provide our photo booth, which added a great activity and was a lot of fun for our wedding guests to enjoy. We got all of the digital copies of the photos from the booth- both composites and individual photos- immediately after our wedding, which was great to share with guests and have in addition to our photographer's photos.

    Overall, it is Breakthrough Entertainment's professionalism, performance and personalities, that make them the very best DJs in the tri-state area. If you're looking for your Wedding Entertainment, look no further than BreakThrough Entertainment!

    We used DJ Sweet for our wedding and everything was perfect! People cannot stop talking about how much they loved the music at our wedding. People were dancing non-stop, and that's exactly what we wanted. We also used Breakthrough for our photo booth, another hit! I would highly recommend Breakthrough for both DJ services and the photo booth. The whole night went so smooth, and a huge part of that is thanks to DJ Sweet for being so accommodating and working with our vendor, so we didn't have one thing to worry about!

    We were referred to BreakThrough by our friends after going to their wedding and loving their DJ. After browsing their website and watching the DJ videos (highly recommend doing this to help you pick a DJ!) we ended up picking DJ ARA (Angel) and we could not have been any happier. We met with Angel on a few separate occasions to plan our event and he was always accommodating to our schedule and requests while planning. Getting through all of the details leading up to the wedding almost seemed TOO EASY!

    When it came down to wedding day, I honestly cannot thank Angel enough for nailing EXACTLY what we wanted when it came to our music. We had requests all over the place (obscure songs, classic rock, EDM) and he put together such a beautiful blend of music throughout the entire night. The dancefloor was NEVER empty. Angel did a great job mixing old and new, and keeping guests of all ages happy!! My bride and I have had so many compliments from our guests about the music at our wedding. I cannot thank DJ ARA enough for making our night the biggest party of our life!!! THANK YOU!!!!
