Dynasty Entertainment was great! They really brought the wedding to life with their great music. Our dance floor was def. rockin the whole night! Guests were even screaming "Encore!" when it was time to end. Originally when we visited Dynasty Entertainment my husband and I just wanted to get a DJ for the night of the wedding; thinking that having a band was def. out of our budget! But they were able to work with us and within our budget we had a 5 piece band and a DJ! The 5 piece band played throughout the dinner service and a piano player during cocktail hour. Once dinner was over the DJ came it to get the party started! He did an amazing job!

Thank you dynasty Entertainment Team!

Words cannot express how pleased I was with Dynasty Entertainment!!! My wedding night was on the biggest blizzard in October in NJ since 1869....Jack and his crew arrived ON TIME...and performed like nothing was going on outside!!! The Band was ROCKIN!!!! All of my family and friends danced the night away. The talent blew me away, the music selection was just what I had asked for. Jack ALWAYS answered my emails in a timely fashion...he gave me everything he promised1 I would recommend this band whole heartedly. They get a 10 in my book!!!

I had lots of crazy music requests for our wedding, and the DJ played just about everything. He even let me use the microphone to announce group pictures I wanted to take. He worked great with our reception place and made sure he was always ready for the next event. He wasn't overbearing like some DJs can be, but enough excitement to get everyone excited and dancing.

The music was fantastic! My ceremony was on the beach. I had flute and harp music and it was perfect. For my cocktail hour we had a saxophonist and pianist. I received numerous compliments about the musicians and their talent. It was just perfect!

Our experience with Dynasty Entertainment was absolutely wonderful. I found them while doing an internet search for bands that could play a wide variety of music. We met personally with Jack Goodman, the owner, in his office. We watched many video clips and I was pleased but still hesitant at not being able to hear the band live. We booked them for our wedding at the Venetian in Garfield, NJ, based on gut feeling and price. We felt Jack Goodman seemed like a fair and honest businessman – and trust me – we were right! We got an 11-piece band and 2 cocktail hour musicians at a very reasonable price. We shopped around extensively for a band because we knew that this could make or break the reception and we definitely made the right choice. Dynasty far exceeded other bands’ offerings as far as music styles and value. Other bands told us that they would need to supplement with either a DJ or recorded CDs to cover our range of music preferences, but Dynasty was able to play every style we wanted for the entire night! They were easy to work with from start to finish. We kept in touch periodically via email and when the wedding was getting closer, we were asked to provide the band with music preferences, etc. We returned our information and requests in a timely manner and mentioned some things that were highly important to us. The band was a hit! They played a wide variety of music including 70s, 80s, 90s, Pop, Latin, Disco, Rock, Oldies – you name it!! They even played Spanish Pasodoble for us (which no other band was willing or able to do) And they did it amazingly well! The two lead singers in the band interacted with our guests on the dance floor in a fun and playful manner. It was obvious that these performers enjoy what they do and their enthusiasm was contagious. Everyone had a great time and we received endless compliments on the band and their performance. I highly recommend Dynasty Entertainment for their professionalism, value, and quality.

Every step of the way Dynasty Entertainment was great to work with. They were wonderful and did a great job helping us plan our day. We had a keyboard player for our ceremony and cocktail hour then a DJ for our reception. Both did an amazing job! I was worried no one would be dancing at the wedding but to my surprise no one would stop dancing! They played a great selection of music while meeting our needs. Highly recommend them!

We were thrilled with our band! A) The value of cost was amazing. B) Everyone was dancing the entire event.... which is hard to do at a 2PM Sunday wedding, but they made it happen! Jack was so easy to work with and everyone was so very professional. Rave reviews all around!

Dynasty Entertainment made our wedding. We had a pianist playing music at our rehearsal dinner, a bagpiper at the ceremony, and a twelve person orchestra at the reception. The process to hire and work with them is simple, and their music is outstanding. Every guest wanted to be on the dance floor all night! Guests at our wedding hired Dynasty Entertainment for their son's wedding in the summer of 2011. I would recommend Dynasty Entertainment with no reservations to any bride looking for any musical needs.

Jack Goodman and Dynasty Entertainment did a wonderful job for my wedding! They played a great mix of all types of music continously, were energetic and had the crowd on their feet the whole time. They completely made my wedding. Friend are still talking about how much the reception was because of the music and the band!

Also, there were extremely easy work with, were flexible with music choices and open to learning new songs for my wedding day. I could not have asked for more!!

We hired an Arabic band through Dynasty Entertainment for our wedding on October 1, 2010 and couldn't be happier! Jack was amazing in helping us find the perfect fit for our wedding. we had hired a DJ previously and were looking for a band to enhance our entertainment. We were concerned that the DJ and Band may not work well together, but the day of the wedding everything went perfectly! Leading up to the wedding Jack and Suzy were great in finding us a band less than 2 months before the wedding. Jack showed us several bands and made sure we got the perfect one. Every time we came to the office they were both so nice and pleasant to deal with.

The band worked so well with our DJ and kept everyone entertained throughout the night. We couldn't come up with a request list in time for the band, so they were able to choose with all of their own songs and did a fantastic job. All of the band members were courteous and professional, and Jack even stopped by to make sure we were happy.

I would highly recommend using Dynasty Entertainment!!!

We hired the reel time band and they were a hit. I liked how they played the genre of music we asked for (a little bit of everything), and they did an excellent job with introductions/MCing. I did leave the band with a lot of discretion in terms of what songs to play because they are the ones who know what brings people to the dance floor (and everyone danced!) Our biggest concern was that we didn't want to single out a specific age group at our wedding (with regards to song selection) and we didn't want the music to be very loud that people couldn't hear themselves conversing. We had neither of these problems that are common at other weddings I've been to.

I'm the bride and was pretty busy with work and school (up to the wedding) and they always kept calling me to make sure they had what they needed (ie song list, special instructions etc) and that was a plus to be working with professional/"on top of it" people.

One of our newly engaged friends who was at our wedding just hired them too for their wedding, which is the best way to say "your band rocked."

Hello my name is Joe Macaro and I am the father of the bride Desiree Macaro. We hired a DJ from Dynasty Entertainment for my daughters wedding Oct of this year at the East Brunswick Chateau in NJ and we had a ball. He played a variety of music that had all the different age groups on the dance floor all night. What I liked most was when we added a few things the night of the reception, he was on it. His job was to make the wedding a success and he past with flying colors. We got many great compliments on the DJ.
Thanks Dynasty
The Macaro’s

Excellent service!!! Dynasty Entertainment provided the music for my cocktail hour and my reception. At first I was hesitant because I didn't meet the DJ until the day of my wedding itself, however, there is so much thorough planning in behalf of this company that on the day of my wedding day it felt as if the DJ was a friend who knew us for a long time because everyones name was pronounced correctly, overall it was a smooth transition from one part of the reception to the other! Excellent service you won't be disappointed.

We were referred to this company from a friend for my daughter's wedding, but we were still very nervous. We have one daughter and we wanted her wedding to be perfect. After the initial meeting we couldn't believe how many options there are and at first we were totally baffled. After awhile we started feeling better. We finally decided on ceremony music and a band and was surprised that it didn't cost as much as we thought it would. When the big day came we were amazed. We always wanted this day to be special, but never could have imagined how wonderful it actually was. I couldn't stop crying. It was amazing. I even told my husband I want to have another daughter just so I can experience this again. The ceremony music was beautiful and the band was out of this world. We could not have been happier.

My husband and I couldn't be happier with Dynasty Entertainment. We had the 9 piece band play at our wedding on June 6, 2009 and they were outrageous! The dance floor was packed all night long. A few guests actually told us that they have never danced so much at a wedding. I couldn't believe how well the band played so many different varieties of music. They went from Bon Jovi and Guns n Roses to Sinatra and Jazz. It was a really nice mix and every age group enjoyed the music. If you are looking for a classy, professional band, I would highly recommend Dynasty Entertainment. They are also extremely accomodating. My husband's Uncle plays the guitar in a band in Florida. Dynasty let him get up there and play a few songs with them which was so much fun and a huge hit with our guests. I hope that we get invited to a wedding where the Dynasty band will be playing!!

We liked Dynasty Entertainment Band from the very first time we met with them. We had been told that they were good, and they more than surpassed our expectations. They provided outstanding music for our wedding! All our guests that we spoke with, raved about the band. The music, singers, etc. were AWESOME. We DID NOT have one complaint or criticism. They played all the music that we suggested. They definitely made our wedding one to always remember. If you're looking for a band, this is most definitely the one to have!!

This band was incredible from start to finish of our wedding day- and before! Jack came to our home to share samples of the band's work, and he was very flexible in working out pricing that worked for us. Jack and his staff were kind, enthusiastic, and helpful any time we needed anything- truly just a pleasure to work with.

The ceremony music was lovely and set the stage for an elegant and meaningful start to our marriage. The All Stars band, just one of the Jack Goodman Orchestra's groups, had all of our guests up on the dance floor the entire reception. They played a great array of music to keep everyone happy from grandparents to recent college grads.

We could not have asked for a better band to help us celebrate our big day. We would highly recommend this group to anyone who wants to make sure their wedding reception is the time of their life!

I was referred to Dynasty Entertainment by my friend who had hired one of their DJs for her daughter's sweet 16 and loved them. For my wedding we had a 5 piece band and a DJ/MC combo. I have nothing but positive things to say about this company. The office staff was great and made this tough process very easy. I was unsure of exactly what I wanted and Jack and the music adviser were very helpful and calmed my nerves (without any pressure!) The band was fantastic and the DJ played all the right music and took all of our requests. The dance floor was packed all night! Everybody was professional and courteous and the guests had a great time. I highly recommend Dynasty.

We hired Jack Goodman for both the ceremony and reception, it was a total of 4 musicians and 4 singers (since we needed bilingual singers). Jack has been in this business for a very long time and is incredibly professional in how he runs it. The band was great and we were very pleased with the singers. The only issue we had is that the band arrived later than we expected to set up and the ceremony musician did not arrive until much later (car issues) but no one has called us. Jack refunded us the money without any questions. My only recommendation is to get a contact person for the day of the wedding - ours was on sunday and the office was closed so it took a while to get someone to call us back. The price was fantastic!

My husband and I were a bit nervous about Dynasty because there were not a tremendous amount of reviews online about them. Not only did they exceed our every expectation, but they were the complete hit of the wedding. Within the first 10 minutes of them playing, everyone was on the dance floor. We received so many compliments about them, and would recommend them to anyone interested in a high-energy band. We had the 8-piece orchestra, and they were above and beyond anything we could have expected.

The music can be a make-or-break for a good reception. It made our reception a memorable one that friends and family are still talking about 2 months afterward.

Although we are probably outside their regular distance of travel, they were willing to travel to our wedding in VA. Planning took a phone extra phone calls but it all went well putting things together. We had a specific song we wanted them to use, so we bought the sheet music (for a couple bucks) and sent it to them. They learned the song- actually using an edited version we made and sent them on a CD! It was perfect.

We were nervous that were had a limit as to what songs we could pick ahead of time, but they said they were good at reading the crowd to see what kind of music they liked to dance to. They were spot on.

In most weddings, guests dance to 8-9pm then start to go home. We had a majority of the guests on the dancefloor until the band was done at 11pm. It was great.

It was easy to work with this company - they are very large and have many DJs and can accommodate even our unique situation - which was having our dance floor in the foyer of an old mansion. We provided a very detailed list of songs we wanted to hear and they really stuck to the list - for the most part. (When we arrived at the location and were outside taking photos I could hear the song from Aladdin strumming out from the inside. Definitely not on our playlist! but that was the only instance!)

I thought it was a little pricey - about $1800 for the 5 hours. Maybe I'm naive with pricing. At the time, we had some time constraints and I really wanted a company that I could trust and I could tell just from meeting the owner that they would deliver!

Band was amazing, they were able to perform most songs that I requested and did a beautiful job singing "Lauretta Mia" in Italian. We had asked if they could perform a variety of music from hip-hop, sinatra classics, rock-n-roll, italian classics, latin music, 70's and 80's music to todays top current songs. We asked for a variety and they were able to provide us that service 100%

Would recommend this Dynasty Entertainment to any bride looking for a variety of music to be played at their reception!

Overall our DJ was ok for the money spent. He played the same song twice during the reception and played some other songs that I felt weren't the best dance songs. They seemed to clear some people off the dance floor at times and I wished that he would have switched the songs when he saw this happening. He also cut some songs off at odd times. He was very nice however and was accommodating to what we requested. I am happy with him overall, I had just wished for some of the song choices to have been different.

We had a mixed experience with Dynasty Entertainment. We liked them at first, but then in the days leading up to our wedding, we found them a little difficult to deal with. All payments had to be made by cash or check, and had to be dropped off in the office during certain hours. As we got closer to the wedding, we recieved a packet in the mail with all of our information for the wedding that needed to be filled in. This is standard, but what was wierd was some of the other stuff that was in there. There was a page that stated that we must provide a meal to our dj. This wasn't a big deal because we were planning on doing it anyway, but at no point when booking were we told it was a "must". Also, the packet said that we would have to pay extra if they needed to track down any songs. We didn't need them to track anything down, but again, this was not mentioned when we booked. They also limited our list of "must plays" and "do not plays". The day before the wedding, our DJ got the flu. So, Dynasty sent a replacement DJ. We were told that he was being forwarded all of our information, and my husband even spoke to him on the phone. However, at the reception, he came into the bridal suite to ask for everyone's names again. I went through all of them again, and he didn't even write them down until my maitre'd yelled at him and made him write them down. The announcements went fine, but when we got to our first dance we had major problems. He announced us, but then didn't play any music for about 5 minutes. So my husband and I were standing up there with everyone straing at us with no music to dance to. It made us feel quite stupid. he got the music started and we danced to our song. But then it got worse. He announced that my husband and his mom would be dancing next, even though we have told him that I was supposed to dance with my dad first. After some confusion, I walked off the dance floor and let them dance before my dad and I. But then he started playing the father/daughter song instead of the mother/son song. So, my dad and I went back out on the dance floor. Afterwards, my husband had his dance with my mom. The DJ partially redeemed himself after that and played great music and kept everyone on the dance floor (however there was one more misstep at the end where he gave the microphone to the drunkest person there). But, those first few dances are once in a lifetime opportunities that we will never be able to get back.

We were really exited to get the Jack Goodman All Stars, because we had been to a wedding that they played brfore hand and were awesome. I also felt comforable because confernce calls to set up play list had exuded profesionalism.
While booking we decided to book someone to play the piano druing the ceremony & cocktail hour in addition to the reception. The pianist at the ceremony was good enough, but by the time I made it to the cocktail hour he had finished playing, and I missed it (by the way-I had gotten there with at least 20 minutes left).
On the day of the wedding, the head member had met with me and went over the pronounciations of names and order of events that would take place throughout the night (including a sibling dance to be done right after dinner). We decicded that the wedding party would be introduced by first name only (the last name were a bit too difficult for him to pronounce). When it came time to introduce us, he mispronounce our last name, which is really not that difficult.
After dinner, the song never played for our sibling dance & my brother had to leave with his new born shortly after. All this stuff really didn't bother me--and trust me nothing bothered me that night, but now thinking about it-I'm upset.
Towards the end of the night, THE WHOLE BAND TOOK A BREAK. This would not had been an issue, but when we signed our contract with the band we were told that we would have "a reception of 4 hours of continuous music." There were so many things happening at this point that I didn't think to say anything-nor should I have had to.
If you hire them I would just be aware that these things happened to us. I do believe that they accomplished our goal of getting everyone on the dance floor, but when you take breaks there's no music to dance to.

We found the band who played at our wedding to be completely unprofessional. We felt like we were misled when we initially met with the owner of the company. The band was supposed to play more up to date music, considering it was a young couples wedding, but they played more of an "old school" variety. They forgot to play the Hora, which we specifically requested, and we had to remind them when the Matre D' was bringing out with cake at the end of the evening. They also introduced the bride to dance with her father, which was completely incorrect due to the fact that the bride was dancing with her brother bc of her father is deceased. We had to correct them in front of our whole wedding, which was very upsetting and embarrasing. We were not happy with the band at all and if had to do it again would hire a DJ. At least you know what you are getting with a DJ and its cheaper.

We found Dynasty Entertainment through Wedding Wire, and went with them based on cost and experience in the business. We first met with Jack Goodman, the owner of the company and during this meeting where we were supposed to be telling him what we were looking for at OUR wedding, he kept talking over us and showing us videos from 1998. The videos were mostly of Bands, and we were not interested in a band for our wedding. Ultimately we left the meeting frustrated but still went with them anyway based on price and other customer reviews. Bad idea....

We chose steel drums for our cocktail hour, and a DJ for the ceremony and wedding reception.

They emailed us forms that needed to be filled out with information for the DJ, however we had already filled out information on different forms during our meeting. The forms were extremely difficult to decipher and left no room for the information that actually pertained to our specific wants and needs.

As the wedding drew closer communication became more and more difficult. Throughout the process we had only been communicating with the office secretary and Jack, himself, however a month before the wedding we had 4 different people calling us asking for information we gave to them months ago. We finally requested that all communication be done through the secretary, who is the only one in the office who seems to have a clue as to what was going on. She was our saving grace with this company.

We had planned to meet with the DJ prior to the wedding to finalize everything, however after numerous failed attempts and as many non returned phone calls, we had to request to switch DJ's two weeks before the weeding, out of fear that no one would show the day of the actual wedding. If he couldn't make a simple meeting or return a phone call who was to say he would show up? The new DJ was very cooperative as far as returning phone calls, but he too, like Jack, was not the best listener.

Day of wedding:
Ceremony-
Even though we had given the office and the DJ himself specific time cuts for when we wanted certain music played we still had to go over it again with the DJ an hour before we were to walk down the isle - and even then he had all the timing incorrect. The bride didn't even know it was time to walk down the isle because the DJ didn't turn the music up as we specifically asked him to do.

After our ceremony the DJ needed to be cued to start the recessional music for us to walk out to by giving him eye contact and nodding my head.

Cocktail Hour -
This was the truly one saving grace. We had steel drums and the drummer was amazing. I know many people asked for his card and he did exactly as we asked. He was very friendly when guests talked with him and just overall a great experience. This is the only reason I would ever call dynasty again.

The Reception:
Introductions-
This was by far his worst error of the night. Based on our previous communication with the office and with the DJ himself just 2 hours before the reception he STILL got the timing for our introduction wrong! We went over this at least 10 times and I even gave him exact times, to the second, on when he was to introduce the couples. He even stopped the introduction song when announcing the names which we specifically told him not to do.

Bride/Father dance -
During the father/bride dance the DJ looked to me and was motioning if he should cut the song short not even half way through the song. Whats wrong with playing it all the way through?

Mother/groom dance-
The DJ did the exact same thing for this song while I was dancing with my mom!

Dinner/Dancing-
Even though dinner started out ok with the background music the DJ disappeared to go eat after everyone was served and finished eating. We had to ask the matre de to go find him since we wanted to get the party started and guests were already up mingling. When he returned the music started out as we wanted, playing one song we requested but soon turned into a crazy club mix that was close to listening to jock jams! He needed to be asked 3 times to change the style of music to what we requested; once by the bride, next the maid of honor, then myself. When I asked he said "sure after i play one more song".

Overall:

- Horrible internal communication among owners/employees
- Lack of professionalism from DJ's
- Paid no regard to bride and groom's specific requests

Would NEVER go here again. STAY AWAY FROM DYNASTY!

Dynasty Entertainment provided the DJ service for our wedding on 10/16/2009. We were promised a certain level of service when we were at their office and the DJ they sent did not even deliver on the most basic wedding DJ service;

- First dance was interrupted by the DJ then restarted
- There were long period of silence between songs
- Preferred artists and songs were provided ahead of time, but it was obvious nothing was prepared ahead
- Some songs were started and played for less than a minute and cut off by a different song
- Inappropriate rude announcements made through the microphone while guests were having their dinner ("get on the dance floor, it's not rocket science" this is an obvious time for guests to sit down and eat dinner, not dance)
- threatened to play the music at a volume that's high enough to "annoy" the guests and actually turned up the volume to an unbearable level. (The Maitre D' had to ask him to turn it back down)

They show many videos that look acceptable, but the service we got is not nearly close to what we saw on the video. When we brought it to their attention, Jack Goodman came up with many excuses: that it was "technical glitches" and that we did not give him a playlist in advance. If we prepared our own playlist, then all I needed was ipod+speakers and a remote control.

$750 DJ for 4 hours- Dynasty Entertainment charged us for 4 hours of DJ. Showed us a perfect video that has nothing to do with the DJ showed up for our wedding. A contract that says they are not responsible for "technical glitches". A letter from a lawyer regarding the reviews I posted online.

$450 DJ for 4 hours- single hire DJs with equipment. We have to see a live performance of that specific DJ before paying anything. (at least we know what we are getting)

First few dances as husband and wife, Priceless...

We were very disappointed with the service provided. It all started when one and a half days before the wedding I got a call from the company telling me that the DJ could not play one of the Cd's we provided. We were told by them to try to recopy all the songs in as many different formats as possible! It was not possible for us to do all of that with in one day when we had relatives visiting and many other wedding details to finalize. We mailed them the CD one MONTH before the wedding. I was told they don't have control of when their DJ tests it out!
As a result, many of our must play songs were not played at the reception. Then the Dj,Tiffany told us that the MC - Nahun, was setting up to start singing. I told her we did not ask him to sing. She asked us if we could let him sing at least one song so he wouldn't be offended! This is our wedding, why should we be concerned about his feelings?? He then proceeded to sing at least three songs.
In our paperwork we noted that we wanted him to walk around the dance floor and encourage people to dance and he did not do that. He stayed behind the table the whole time, in fact he never even said one word to my husband and I. He was also suppose to repeat every thing in English and Russian which he did not do the entire time, only some of the time. My mother told me she went to request a song and was told by Tiffany that that song was not on our list. My mother told her she is the bride's mother and then Tiffany agreed to play it. We wrote on our paperwork that songs could be requested by all guests. They did the basics of the job and that was it. I was most disappointed that they did not play they type of music we wanted and most of the songs on our list were not played. They charged a lot of money for a crappy job. When we complained all we got was a form type letter saying they were sorry we were disappointed.
