    Great Music and Lighting!

    We are very happy we went with Philly Star Events for our reception music and lighting. I was a type A bride and they let us completely customize the playlist and were so kind and flexible about it. DJ Joe kept everyone dancing all night long and made sure the energy was high the entire evening. We loved being able to have a harpist at cocktail hour and book it through PSE. Our venue had difficult acoustics to work around and PSE handled it perfectly. I would like to highlight that Natalie was a dream to worth with. She's just so patient, and truly committed to making sure your wedding is exactly how you want it to be. I had many questions and requests, and I also had trouble picturing the lighting for our venue. She worked with me until I was comfortable and the lighting was perfect! A great team. Highly recommend.

    The Best Philly Has To Offer!

    Natalie, DJ Joe, and Micah are the best Philly has to offer in terms of wedding production. Each of them are masters of their craft in paying attention to detail, execution, and delivering on everything you ask for and extra! They truly elevated our epic wedding and we couldn't have been more thrilled and grateful for their services. Seriously, hire them. They have the best rates and packages out there -- and they are seriously worth every dollar!

    The Perfect Wedding DJ!

    DJ Joe was absolutely fantastic! He mastered the tone of each part of the wedding throughout the evening. He and Natalie were great to work with. Their online client portal brought up questions we didn't even think to ask, and as such ensured we had every part of the evening covered. Natalie is so kind and efficient, Joe was the perfect leader and kept the party going! The price was also incredibly reasonable. I cannot recommend Philly Star Events enough!

    Philly Star Events is a Fantastic Team!

    From the moment I spoke with Natalie on the phone for our consultation I knew their team was exactly what we were looking for. DJ Micah was the perfect DJ for us and he did an absolutely phenomenal job. The up-lighting was done by Natalie herself and was gorgeous! Everyone kept talking about how beautiful and cool our custom light monogram was! DJ Micah literally played every song I had on our playlist and then some. My dad performed Elvis and wanted the song list to be a surprise so he worked with Natalie and DJ Micah personally; he was so impressed with the customer service. Honestly, throughout the planning process and the night of our wedding, a beat was never missed. We are so grateful to the Philly Star team and will definitely be recommending to everyone we know!

    Dj joe is amazing!

    DJ Joe was absolutely INCREDIBLE at our wedding. The music was exactly what we wanted, and all of our guests were blown away with how much fun he was. The entire process with Philly Star Events was so streamlined and they made the planning so simple. We can’t say enough good things about them. THANK YOU Joe and Philly Star Events!!

    First-class service and performance from Philly Star Events!

    We had high expectations for Philly Star Events and they surpassed those expectations. Natalie set up the lighting very elegantly and it was exactly what we wanted. The guests spoke highly of the monogram they designed and thought it was very tasteful. The music was perfect!! DJ Joe was a true professional and integrated both the bride and grooms requests but also gauged the crowds flow for improvisation. He mixed in the Motown classics (which we requested) that the older folks like but with a dancier modern twist that got everyone moving. He also got in the bride and grooms staples of old school hip hop and modern new hits. He played enough of the ones we wanted and improvised perfectly. Philly Star prepared and set everything up so that we barely noticed any wiring and things getting in the way. We really enjoyed the pre-wedding meeting to help iron out the song list, lighting, and monogram. Highly recommended, couldnt have done it any better!

    Best DJ Service!!

    I cannot say enough good things about DJ Joe and Joshy (percussionist). From the start of wedding planning, I knew that music was one of the most important elements. I listened to samples from a lot of different DJs but did not feel like any of them had the party feel I was going for. When I listened to DJ Joe, I knew immediately that he was the DJ for my wedding. I've been to a lot of weddings where the DJ just plays one song after another. Not DJ Joe- he mixes songs and makes sure to play songs that correspond to how the dance floor is reacting. I cannot say enough good things. I watch my video back and find myself dancing again. If you want a DJ who will make sure the dance floor is packed all night, hire DJ Joe!

    The entire process with Philly Star Events was so easy. Natalie is so incredibly accommodating and answered all my questions in a timely manner. Philly Star Events is the very best!

    Professional and genuine!

    Natalie and DJ Micah were so genuine, kind, and all around great to work with! From beginning to end, Natalie was thorough in her communication and just made planning easy for us. Micah graciously accommodated our special situation of switching between DJ music and a two-person Greek band for traditional Greek music throughout the reception. The transitions were so seamless, and DJ Micah did a wonderful job hosting. We loved working with PSE!

    AMAZING! Danced 'til our feet hurt!

    Could not have asked for a better experience. From start to finish Philly Star Events was great. Natalie was super helpful and responsive. DJ Joe got exactly what we wanted and kept people on the dancefloor the entire night! Everyone had so much fun!

    I was referred to Philly Star DJs by a friend of mine. I spoke with Natalie a few months before the wedding and she explained the entire process to me and was very helpful. Leading up to the wedding, I received informative emails and a link where I could input all of the information and songs for the ceremony/reception. It was better than I had expected. On the actual wedding day, Joe was prompt and professional and did an amazing job with the music. Everyone said how wonderful he was and I was really pleased we chose Philly Star DJs. I would recommend them to anyone getting married (especially if I'm going because the music was so good).

    Working with Natalie and DJ Micah from Philly Star Events was nothing but pleasurable. Natalie was there to answer ALL QUESTIONS and address any concerns. She sure knows her stuff and you can tell she genuinely enjoys helping brides (and grooms) make their wedding memorable. When talking to the staff at our wedding venue after the reception, several people told us “That was the best DJ/music we’ve seen/heard here!!” We would recommend Philly Star to anyone.

    Philly Stars was the DJ at our wedding DJ rocked it! They combined the music I requested with some of his own choices and got it right! We met with our DJ a month before the wedding in center city at the company's office and they helped us get everything together. Natalie is great, btw. She found a way for me to appease my new in-laws who asked us to do things during the reception that we really didn't want to do. Sigh of relief. My fiancée and I had a NYE wedding and our DJ did an excellent job at keeping everyone lively, even way after the clock struck 12! Our guests partied and had lots of fun. I could not be happier about hiring Philly Star Events

    We used the Philly Star team for our 155 guest wedding in October in Philadelphia. Our wedding was in a unique venue (the Penn Museum) and Natalie and Joe KILLED IT. Omg our friends won’t stop talking about how fun the party was. We initially just booked them for music - they did the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing all in 4 different rooms in the museum. We feel so lucky to have had such incredibly talented people making our wedding perfect. They very much earned their fee and are an excellent value. They made us feel like celebrities. A few months after we booked them for music we decided to book Natalie for lighting design. She nailed it. Neither myself nor my husband are creative types so we gave Natalie full artistic discretion and she created such a tasteful and dope set up for our wedding. Our families and friends were in awe. I talked on the phone with Natalie countless times in the year leading up to the wedding and she was always an absolutely joy. Joe did an INSANE job DJing. We had some non mainstream requests and he integrated them perfectly (Phish into Toto’s Africa?!? Hell yeah). People were dancing all night. He does so much more than just play a playlist. He taps into the energy of the room and helps guide it to even greater places. Bonuses were also the online event planning system and the ability for them to take guest requests! We put a link for this on our wedding website and people loved it. If you want a wedding experience that your friends will talk about for years to come, then Philly Star is the way to go!

    I'll be perfectly honest, the DJ had the hardest time of any vendor we used because I'm so particular/fussy about music. I honestly had picked out literally 80-90% of the songs. and even with the very little artistic freedom that I granted (this was my one bridezilla moment) he was awesome. The transitions and how he changed tracks was awesome. I'll be honest I wasn't expecting anything spectacular but it was like being in a club in NYC. They also dealt with a difficult set-up since there were a total of 4 rooms.

    Where do I start? Our DJ with Philly Star Events did an amazing job during the entire time our wedding reception! The music was incredible - I got so much POSITIVE feedback from countless guests who keep saying that the reception had the best mix of music that they'd ever heard at a reception! DJ Ariel really kept our crowd going until the very end of the night, which we loved. He paced the music just right and did a superb job at reading the crowd. He knew exactly what to play for younger crowds and the older crowds loved how he played the classics. The music definitely made our night! We highly recommend Ariel! He listened to everything we wished for our day.

    Micah was amazing! Hands down! There are wedding guests now-months later commenting on how good our dj was. His MC skills were exactly what we wanted: he subtly interacted with guests and played a variety songs that got everyone up from their seats and on the dance floor. I admit that we were at the top of our budget for our wedding dj, but Micah was well worth every penny. We highly recommend this company.

    From the initial planning sessions to emails updates along the way and to the last in person planning meeting, Philly Star communicated with us with great warmth and professionalism all the way. Our wedding day was a long work day for the DJ since it started at 2pm and didn't end until 930pm. He played music in 3 locations (on the beach for the ceremony, in a small room with a large bar for cocktails and in the main ball room for our reception). The team expertly transitioned from one location to the other with great ease. They had a lot of equipment for each of the spaces and executed the set up for everything with precision. Our DJ's choice of music and his ability to read the crowd kept even the most reserved folks in our group dancing ! I kid you not people! We were shocked. The groom had so much fun on the dance floor to the point of not wanting to be peeled away when our guests asked to take photos! The pink uplighting and custom monogram were PHENOMENAL! The pink colored lights perfectly matched everything that we chose. Natalie is so kind hearted and helpful and full of fun ideas. She worked as our lighting designer and created our custom monogram which everyone took photos of. Philly Star Events is a truly a professional company ran by great people that really love doing what they do. If you've envisioned a wedding with everybody (younger, older, and in-between ages) having fun on the dance floor, hire them!

    We hired Philly Star DJs for our wedding, and couldn't be happier that we did! Natalie was always there if we had any questions or if we just wanted to discuss our wedding. DJ Joe Broscoe crushed the 1s and 2s on our wedding night, and the party never stopped. From the moment that we met Joe, we were impressed by his energy and feel for a crowd, and on our wedding night, he really shined; his setup, song choice and feel for the crowd were second to none. Beyond his great talent and ear for music, Joe is a good, genuine dude that we'd be happy to work with again.

    My husband and I got married on June 26, 2015 in Old City-Philadelphia. As we approach our 6 month anniversary in December, we reminisce on what was literally the best day of our lives and how it wouldn't be possible without some really important people--DJ Joe and Natalie from Philly Star DJ's. These two amazing and genuine individuals made our wedding a dream come true and til this day I think about how grateful we are to them for making our wedding dreams come true. Best decision we've ever made, seriously. 6 months later we are still receiving compliments about how awesome the music and lighting was at our wedding, DJ Joe and Natalie left a lasting impression on not just Brooke and I but our guests as well. They were professional, honest, flexible, authentic and really took the time to get to know Brooke and I, they truly cared about what we wanted and wanted to make sure we were happy. Guys, the music was AWESOME! DJ Joe did an incredible job! Guests were dancing their butts off and Brooke and I had a blast dancing as well! There was not one dull moment and the transitions were so natural. It was almost as if DJ Joe was psychic! He read the crowd, he knew exactly what to play at exactly the right time, it was incredible! It's a no brainer people, take it from us, choosing DJ Joe and Natalie from Philly Star DJ's will be the best decision you've ever made!!!

    Joe was the absolute BEST. He was so fun to work with, and totally nailed our music personalities! Our wedding was a month ago and I still hear from people how much they LOVED the music, he kept it upbeat and fun the whole night! We couldn't have been happier with our choice to go with Philly Star and would recommend them to anyone.

    DJ Joe was amazing! We found ourselves in a pinch where we had to get a new DJ just a couple months before the wedding. Fortunately for us DJ Joe was available for our date. And man were we lucky. We had a tented wedding and started POURING rain toward the end of dinner, but as soon as DJ Joe started the dance music, the dancefloor was PACKED for the rest of the night! I forgot all about the pounding rain. He was able to work in our special requests and even pick up on other things we liked from the wedding speeches, and work that in! (He worked in reggae, classic hip-hop, motown, modern hits and even some swing for my in-laws) My husband is a huge music fan and loved everything about DJ Joe. Our meeting with him about a month before the wedding gave us the chance to talk through what we wanted, and he nailed it. He was one of the best wedding decisions we made.

    Our entire wedding reception was a fun, upbeat party thanks to the DJ. He followed all of our requests and our do not play list. He listened to our overall music likes and dislikes and kept the music appropriate the entire reception. He was not chatty on the microphone and he didn't make it about him. They also did our monogram on the floor, which Natalie helped me design. It fit exactly with our theme. The uplighting was perfect. The color enhanced the room without making it look like a cheap night club. Overall - excellent job - and great to work with.

    Can;t say enough about Joe and Natalie. Natalie is one of the nicest people I have ever dealt with. This is our third time working with them and every time was perfect. Joe blended my request for Mexican and Ukrainian music so well that all my guests enjoyed it. Everyone was dancing and happy. Joe made a custom list of music that I loved and it fit every generation. They did a great job on lighting. Couldn't be happier.

    Efficiency at it’s peak

    From the first point of contact, to the music brainstorm, to the day of execution, philly start events can best be described as extremely efficient. Their tools are sophisticated enough for the customer to easily relate their requirements. DJ Joe was very professional, experienced, accommodating and was able to decipher our taste very easily. We are grateful to have discovered them (rather late in the game:)!!!!
