My wife and I used Xplosive entertainment for our reception in January 2020 and, to be honest, I don’t think you could hire a company as competent and caring about your experience. From the start, Mike and his crew were accessible for us throughout the entire planning process. Their online portal and planning tools made it comforting as my wife and I’s taste in music is eclectic. During the reception, Mike was able to perfectly read my guests a play music that matched each phase of the event. Notably, the placement of the Tarantella and, believe it or not, Reel Big Fish – Sell Out, made such memorable moments for even the most intoxicated guest… that guest was me. Thank you again for an amazing experience.

Mike L & Mike P are Amazing!!
Mike Langsner & Mike P are absolutely amazing! I highly recommend these two for your special day! As soon as we arrived at our venue they were right by our side making sure we absolutely loved everything. Mike P even took the time and walked us up to the Dome Room at The Manor to take photos! The music was mixed perfectly and they kept all of our guests out on the dance floor the entire reception. We cannot thank you enough for making our day so special. You both are the best!!

Jordan and his team are unbelievable and really know how to put on a show. He did such an amazing job with our intros that people are still talking about it. He's very energetic, easy going and just a lot of fun to have a party with. He was very accommodating with all of our request as well as our guests at the wedding. I've used him for every party I've had since and plan on using him in the future. Definitely one of the best out there and comes highly recommended by many!

One of the best decisions we made for our wedding day...
Walking out of our initial meeting with Xplosive, my husband and I knew that we had to book them for our wedding. We sat with the VP, Mike L. for 2 hours and we had such a great conversation with him... he is full of awesome ideas. That kind of attention followed straight through into our wedding day. Our MC, Mike P. called me a couple of days before the wedding to introduce himself and make sure we were all set and see if I had any questions. And the day of the wedding?!? That floor was POPPING. They kept the crowd out and having an awesome time. I'm still getting comments about how fun our wedding was. They really knocked it out of the park. Thanks so much to Mike & Mike for helping to create a day we'll never forget.
And let's not forget:
Besides the connection we felt from that first meeting, we were completely sold on a special enhancement that Xplosive offers -- Personalized Audio. My husband and I recorded a short message for each other that was dubbed into our first dance song. We didn't hear it until our wedding day. It brought the crowd to tears (but seriously multiple guests are still commenting about how unexpected and sweet that surprise was). We also got a copy of the song to keep as a memento. So freakin cool.

I'd give all the stars if I could!
I highly recommend these guys! Xplosive Entertainment DJ-ed for our wedding and were absolutely incredible. My parents booked them and I spoke with Michael a few weeks before the wedding. He was professional, courteous, patient, and tailored the music exactly to our requests! He and the MC, (also Mike), were outstanding! I ran into some trouble after the ceremony trying to bustle up the train on my dress- no joke, there were 20 clips we had to figure out. This held us up entering the reception, but Mike, the MC kept me calm, telling me not to rush and that everyone would just wait a few extra minutes. Both Mikes were fantastic and I would without a doubt hire them for future events. I give them 200 stars and highly recommend Xplosive Entertainment!

Our Wedding at The Hamilton Manor
We wanted to thank 'Mike' & 'Mike' for making our wedding an unforgettable experience that we will forever cherish. The music was mixed perfectly by DJ Mike and our MC Mike kept the party going all night. Everyone was on the dance floor having the time of their lives! Xplosive Entertainment by far exceeded our expectations and we would recommend them to anyone looking for a DJ & MC for their big day. The music is a big part of anyone's wedding and these guys are truly professionals.

Exceeding our expectations!
Jordan and his staff were amazing from the first meeting through to the end of the wedding. We explained to him what we were looking for and he and his staff delivered. Not just the music, but unique specials, like the wine barrel DJ booth and the enclosure for the Photo Booth. Jaymie also made the experience extra special. She was on top of everything!! When we had questions, I emailed her and responses were almost instantaneous. The guests attending the wedding had all good things to say about the DJ! I had no worries the day of the wedding and everything went perfect.

Blew us away!!!
Xplosive was the absolute highlight of my wedding. I've never been to a wedding where evwryone was put of their chairs dancing. The dance floor was full the entire night! Jordan our MC live mixed ceremony music, blew us away during reception and was amazing and went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a great time. Frankie was our DJ and live mixed the entire reception. No boring playlist like other companies. I will refer them to every person I meet. All of my 200 guests raved about him and 3 couples getting married will be booking them too! You guys killed it. Thank you for being the most amazing piece to our wedding!!!!!! I loved the package add ons: dry ice for forst dance, gobo, lighting we did it all and you guys WERE WORTH EVERY SINGLE PENNY!!!

The best of the best!
My husband and I got married this November, and we used Xplosive Entertainment for our DJ, MC, Photo Booth, and entertainment enhancements. The staff at Xplosive makes you feel like family, and goes above and beyond to make every moment special. Our MC, Mike S., was the life of the party, and had such an amazing energy that radiated to the rest of our guests. Our DJ, Frankie, turned our wedding into a club, and had everybody dancing. Many of our guests said that it was the best party they had ever been to! Our photo booth was a highlight of the party, as was the AMAZING "dancing on the clouds" enhancement that we used in both the reception, but also on the grand staircase in our ceremony (the first time it had ever been done... it was amazing!). Xplosive also helped me pull off a huge surprise... singing to my husband in front of all of our guests! They worked with me every step of the way, provided the music, and managed to keep it a secret from my very-involved groom! I HIGHLY recommend Xplosive entertainment, and plan on using them for any of our future events!

Exceeded our expectations
Mike P and Cory were awesome! Far exceeded our expectations! They judged the crowd, played every thing we wanted and didn’t play what we asked “not to play”. They were energetic, the introductions were incredible and everyone had a fantastic time. Our daughters wedding was absolutely beautiful and having great music throughout the ceremony, cocktail hour and a half and the reception with MC & General Manager, Mike -he made it more memorable...
We can’t thank you enough Xplosive Entertainment, for providing us with an exceptional and unbelievable experience.

Imagine if your best friend you knew for years was also the mc/dj at your wedding.. that’s what it felt like. This was one of the best experiences I have had. Between personalizing it with telling stories about us throughout the night to becoming a part of the party .. we couldn’t have asked for anything better!

Jordan, Jayme and the entire Xplosive Entertainment team were an absolute dream to work with. When we began to plan our wedding my husband and I were worried that no one would be able to meet our music and entertainment needs. The moment we connected with Jordan and Jayme we knew right away we had found the magic unicorns of entertainment.. Our guests can't stop talking about the playlist and how they loved playing in the photo booth. From the wedding ceremony to the very end of the reception Xplosive delivered nothing but perfection!!

Xplosive Entertainment was absolutely amazing. They were a pleasure to work with, right from the start. A huge thank you to Chris who helped me plan everything for my daughter's sweet 16 and who also did the Pro Zap photography. Another huge thank you to DJ Valentine for playing such awesome music, and to our MC Frankie, who was absolutely the best!! You made my daughter feel so at ease all night long. She was a ball of nerves and you made sure that she relaxed enough to enjoy her big night. Let's not forget Tyler who sported his dance moves on the floor all night long. You all were amazing and helped to make her party a success!!!

Xplosive is AMAZING! We used them for our wedding last weekend and we couldn't have been happier. Frankie is THE BEST at his job, hands down! He is the best M.C., he kept the crowd moving with nonstop dancing and made our lives so much easier. He personalized our first dance and parent dances, and you could really tell he cared and wanted us to have the best time. A lot of our guests raved about how awesome he was. I would use them over and over again, it is worth every penny!

I could not recommend this DJ company any higher. Frankie Perez is truly a gem! From the very beginning when we met with him we knew that Frankie was the man we wanted to MC our wedding. Music was exactly what we wanted and even more with the way he mixed it up... The dance floor was packed the entire night. If you are having a wedding and are looking to hire a DJ - look no further! They are worth every penny and you will get a remarkable and unforgettable party.

XPLOSIVE Entertainment helped turn our wedding into the party we wanted it to be (and then some). Every aspect of their service was phenomenal. From Jordan (MC) to Frankie (DJ) to Jaymie (event coordinator + photo booth attendant), it could not have run any smoother.
After we signed the contract with them, we were given access to an online portal where we could provide them with all of the necessary information that they would need for the wedding (i.e. first song, parents of the bride/groom, bridal party members, etc.). We were also able to provide them certain songs that we needed to hear that night and also songs that we did NOT want to hear.
Most DJ's I've encountered would take your request and say they'll play it later, then not even play it. Not only did Frankie play every song that we had listed on the online portal, but when we requested a song the night of, that was the next song played. It may seem simple, but it meant a lot to us. Frankie was the perfect fit for our group and was great at reading the room.
Jordan was an excellent MC - he was truly a professional. We've been to weddings where the MC was narrating every move of the wedding and others where there was no involvement whatsoever. Jordan was the perfect balance of both. Our guests loved him. He and our maitre d' worked together to ensure each aspect of our wedding was flawless.
Jaymie was always so accessible. She responded to emails immediately and answered many of our questions. Any requests that we had went through her and she made sure they were accommodated. Jaymie was also responsible for the photo-booth the night of the wedding. Our guests had so much fun with her and it reflected in all of the photos (which we were given on a USB drive from them). We were also given a album with the pictures and signatures from our guests.
Our only regret was that we didn't have enough time with them!
Thank you so much for making our night XPLOSIVE!

I had Mike L. As my DJ and Mike P. As my MC and both were absolutely fantastic from start to finish! I can not say enough good things. They were helpful every step of the way when I had no idea how to chose songs or what to chose they were more than willing to share ideas and point me in the right direction. Their office staff is extremely nice and helpful with ANY questions. They were the icing on the cake for my wedding day and it was perfect!!! Highly recommend Xplosive Entertainment!

Xplosive Entertainment, including Mike L., Mike P., and the lighting and photo booth crew made our wedding reception on October 20th an absolute blast!!! Leading up to the reception, they were an absolute pleasure to work with; Mike Langsner is so knowledgeable and professional, and he made the entire process so easy and stress free. My husband and I loved the online portal/tool that Xplosive gave us access to so we could share the timeline with them as well as song requests and any other details we felt they needed to know. Not only did they play all of the songs we requested, they completely understood our style and ran with it... the vibe the entire night was perfect!! The guests had a great time, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thank you so much for making our wedding so much fun and so unforgettable!!

BEST. WEDDING. EVER.
So it's taken a few months for the dust to settle, but in October 2017, Jordan and his team went above and beyond our wildest expectations and delivered a party truly like no other ..... First things first, Jordan and his Xplosive team are head and shoulders above any entertainment company we have encountered as far as service, skill, and options available. We met briefly at a Bar Mitzvah as I was impressed with the production quality of his team, so inquired more about his operation. He has adapted with the times, and built a company that is truly flexible with whatever type of party you want, and is willing to take on any out of the box ideas you may have.... We were by no means bride/groomzillas, however we were VERY specific in our music selection (likely more-so than any other of his clients), going as far as banning most of your typical wedding playlist. We worked with Jordan to incorporate a live drummer and a saxophonist with a DJ and our music direction, and WOW!! There are no words to explain how lively and bumping the party was. Truly epic.
On top of this, Jordan's service throughout the year leading up to the wedding was nothing short of perfect. You will find quickly that he has invested in resources and people that help make the planning process seamless, and give you unlimited options. On top of that, on the wedding day, we didnt have to talk to Jordan until 15 minutes before the reception, and everything was set up as expected. He is a true professional, (in an industry where you find many amateurs), and we will be hiring Jordan and Xplosive for any event we have for as long as we walk the planet. They are THAT good.

I have two words Unbelievably Incredible. Our DJ was Valentine and he literally rocked our wedding the entire night. He was fabulous at keeping everyone on the dance floor from beginning to end. He made every song flow into the next and timing was perfect. And our MC?? Frankie Perez you my friend were born to do this. Every single person came to us at the after party asking who he was! He made our wedding. If we had to do it all over again, we would do exactly the same thing. He built every moment up to exactly our expectations. He did not miss a beat! Thank you so much! You were both incredible!

Jordan and his crew were beyond amazing at our wedding at the brownstone in Paterson, NJ on 9/1/17. It's been a little over a month and my guests are still raving about how much fun they had at our reception because of the DJ and MC. I am soooooooo glad that we went with Xplosive Entertainment because they were fantastic, easy to work with, accommodating, FUN, and most of all, dedicated to making your wedding A BLAST.

I truly cannot say one bad thing about them. The dj was fantastic, the MC was incredible, the photobooth was a blast all night, and the lighting they provided set the tone.
