Choosing DJ Terry Moran from Crown Special Events was easily one of the best decisions we made during our wedding planning process. My husband and I got married at Waterville Valley on July 20, 2019 and Terry was a phenomenal DJ. From the music to the ceremony and every part of the reception, we couldn’t have asked for more. Terry is professional, experienced and personable. We had many guests ask us about our DJ and where we found him. From the very first meeting to the wedding day, Crown Special Events did not disappoint in any way!

Experienced, Professional, Personal
We spent a great deal of time researching and interviewing DJs for our wedding and are so incredibly lucky that we chose DJ Terry Moran. Terry and the entire Crown team were incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and professional. From the first interview we had with Terry we felt confident that we were in great hands. His experience and professionalism meant that he was ready for any eventuality that that may come up and helped to put our minds at ease. As we went through the planning process Terry was fantastic about working with our vision and flow for the day while also offering great suggestions advice based on his many years of experience.
Terry did a fantastic job as both DJ and emcee. As the emcee he struck a perfect balance of directing everyone, assuring that events flowed properly, and introductions were clear while also not ever making himself the center of attention.
Most importantly as dancing began Terry did a fantastic job of selecting music and keeping the party going. He did an unbelievable job of working in songs that appealed to all ages and demographics and weaved them together in a way that everyone was constantly engaged. For the entire three hours of dancing 90%+ of the party was on the dance floor having the time of their lives. Two of our guests who had worked as professional DJs in the past came up to us at the end of the night and said Terry was the best wedding DJ they had ever experienced. Our reception far exceeded expectations and Terry’s DJ and emcee performance was a huge part of that.

Great Prom DJ
We used Crown DJ's for our Prom last spring and really loved them. They brought a photo booth that the students loved. We sent them a list of the songs the students wanted to hear and the students were so surprised that the DJ really played the songs we asked for. It usually doesn't happen that way. The lighting was great. Can't say enough about how happy we were.

Above and beyond!
I cannot speak higher of this company! We hired them for DJ and photobooth at our wedding and all I can say is wow. So much preparation went into making sure our day was exactly as we wanted it down to any little detail - all entered on a user friendly website form. Later in the evening we found out that their staffer got in an accident (he's ok) with the equipment in their van, but they still managed to make it to the event without so much as a hiccup and without us knowing there was even a problem! The photobooth was so fun and definitely worth the money. Everyone had a blast and said it was the best wedding they've been to...DJ Terry was amazing, thank you!

HOLY MOLY! We got married on 8..18.18 and we booked with DJ Chris Makiej from Crown and he IS AMAZING!! He was professional, fun, and did everything that we wanted!! Great listener and had some great advice. The party rocked all night long, he really got our crowd going and no one left the dance floor. The up-lighting and music rocked all of our socks off. If you're having a hard deciding on a DJ, look no further, ask for CHRIS M. He's amazing and so worth every penny!!

Everyone at Crown is very flexible and helpful and we could not have been happier! Their rustic decor matched our theme perfectly and our guests had so much fun with the amazing photobooth! We loved looking at the pictures in the book they made for us after!

We could not have been happier with Crown Entertainment and working with DJ Chris McClure! He nailed every request including some tough to pronounce names :) We also had a unique venue (The Rocks Estate in Bethlehem, NH that is a huge Christmas tree farm and required a couple of different set ups). He also had someone helping - Enrique who was awesome as well and did a great job with the photobooth that was a HUGE hit. We also ended up adding 2 hours of overtime as our party was going way past the standard package and DJ Chris definitely had a big part in helping keeping the dancing momentum going. Would highly recommend this company and DJ Chris!

DJ Chris Makiej provided the ceremony, cocktail and reception music for our wedding at Waterville Valley, NH. Chris was great to work with and definitely wanted to make sure we had a good time! From the very beginning of the planning process he was friendly, honest, and laid back. He listened to all our ideas, discussed his style, and gave us great advice. Everyone loved the music he played at our reception and guests of all ages were on the dance floor all night. We got tons of compliments from our friends and family after the wedding. Thanks again, we highly recommend Crown Special Events!!

We could not be more thrilled with our choice to work with the Crown Special Events team. DJ Terry was absolutely fabulous to work with through the entire process, but especially in the few weeks leading up to the wedding as well as day of. Wedding day is such a whirlwind and DJ Terry kept us on track getting through everything that needed to be done so we could start the party! Due to some last minute crisis the week before the wedding, we didn't get everything done we were supposed to for Terry. He didn't miss a beat. HE KIlLED IT. DJ Terry really made us feel like we were his only event all summer. He really listened to what our vision was and brought it to life! He literally had people on the dance floor during the dinner music!! We also used their uplighting and it was absolutely PERFECT. I cannot say enough good things about Crown Special Events! Crown, Thank you guys for everything. We are so lucky you were able to make our big day so very memorable!!!

Working with crown entertainment was one of the best decisions I made! Our DJ Terry was awesome! The music he played during our wedding was perfect and he even created a video of pictures of us for our 1st dance. He also did jib jab on some of the music videos putting our faces on the people in the music videos and it was hilarious all of our guests loved it!
We also rented the Photo Booth from crown entertainment and it was such a hit! It went along perfectly with the theme of our wedding it had such an original and rustic look to it. Our guest loved going to the Photo Booth it was probably the most popular thing about our wedding!

My wife and I got married on June 11, 2016 at Waterville Valley in NH. Crown came highly recommended by a friend - and they definitely did not disappoint. Terry Moran was our DJ for the evening and he absolutely crushed it. It was a rainy day - and therefore the expensive equipment can't be outside. Our hearts were set on an outdoors wedding, so Terry set his equipment up under the reception tent and put on a beautiful ceremony. While talking to him before the ceremony started, it felt like we had known each other for years (even though it was the first time we met in person). Their online portal system made it easy to select music for both the ceremony and the reception, including "events" like first dance, intro song, cake cutting, garter removal, etc. I highly recommend Terry and Crown Entertainment - it was the best financial decision we made throughout the wedding adventure.

We chose Crown Special Events for our April wedding, and it’s one of the best decisions we made. DJ Terry Moran is AMAZING!!! He is professional, accommodating, flexible, down to earth, and so much fun to work with. I was really nervous about choosing a DJ, because I had read bad reviews from other brides about their experience with other DJs in the area, but as soon as I met with Terry he put my mind at ease, and he went out of his way to make our day special. The online portal Crown uses is awesome and makes planning and customizing your event so easy. They have really great packages, and their pricing is very reasonable. The package we chose included up lighting, a custom lighted monogram, and we added the photo booth. The up lighting and monogram were beautiful and really added the touch of elegance we were looking for. The photo booth was so much fun, and the pictures we have from it are hilarious. One of my biggest fears was that no one would dance, but Terry had everyone up and dancing all night long. It’s been a month since our wedding, and I still have family and friends calling me to say how much fun they had and how awesome our DJ was. If you really want your wedding to be amazing and unforgettable then trust me, hire Crown Special Events because they really are amazing and the best of the best!!

I used Crown Entertainment for my 40th birthday party. I had a small party with guests ranging from 3 - 70+ years in age. Chris did a wonderful job both playing music that everyone could dance to as well as a bunch of my requests. Chris and the rest of the staff were very accommodating throughout the process and worked with me to make sure my party was a success. Thank you!!!

Terry was awesome, affordable, accommodating and entertaining! Our wedding would not have been the same without him! He had everyone up and dancing all night long and the place was lit beautifully with an awesome monogram and some phenomenal up lighting! Our photobooth was also through Crown Entertainment, the backdrop not only matched our colors, the props were hilarious and we could fit a large number of people all at once! We had a cellphone charging station and even some pretty cool retro microphones for speeches and such! We would absolutely recommend Crown Entertainment to anyone!

Terry and his team at Crown were the only entertainment specialists I would trust with our wedding. We interviewed several DJ's and from the moment we met Terry I knew "this is the guy". He met with PJ and I, basically became a great friend as he learned about our plans for the day. And it showed. He did everything he could to work with other vendors. He is worth every penny. He deserves every accolade he is nominated for and more!

Professional in every way but more than that, Terry made us feel like family - as if our wedding was a top priority. He helped co-ordinate with the other vendors and did so with a smile. Our day went off without any issues that we were made aware of, meaning we could just relax and enjoy the weekend we spent more than a year planning. Thank you Terry for an outstanding job. You and your crew helped make our day even more special, and I could not imagine having hired anyone else.
