5 Star Events

se the wedding nerves during any and all communication (over email, instagram, or phone). He was so open to us filling our playlist with any songs we wanted leading up to the day! And on wedding day, he played absolute bangers! Our guests were raving about him. He was professional, kept the schedule on time, was very nicely dressed, and really wanted to do everything for us to make our day special. If you're reading this, just book Dave!!!!

how much everyone loved wedding DJ😜 he helped make our wedding a dream come true!

h every question I had and made our vision come to life. Dave worked with us, making changes to our playlist that we wanted, all the way up until the very day of our wedding. Dave knows how to keep the party going, and hype up a crowd. If you're considering Dave for your event, you will not regret booking with him!

music was in line with our tastes. He always asked for our ideas, preferences, and thoughts, but had a knack for knowing when we could use his expertise. Not only was Dave outstanding throughout the planning process, he brought the energy and top-level service to our wedding day. He continued to display his strong communication skills by working with the coordinator and officiant. He was also a great, calming presence on a day that can be filled with anxiety. In the dancing portion of the evening, Dave really brought the house down. He really knows how to keep a party going. Our guests are still raving about how much fun the music was - 3 months later. I couldn't recommend Dave enough.

from every roof top!! My husband is not a dancer, yet was out on the floor all night! Stop looking and book Dave now! He is incredibly friendly, reads the room and mood, and knows how to keep the party going.

planning a wedding entails, this made the process easier. On the day of the wedding Dave was excellent with timing of the songs, announcements etc. We danced right up until the end of the night. You helped make this day perfect Dave. Love Mr. and Mrs. Hodges!

, but to my surprise he kept everyone on the dance floor the entire night by playing to the crowd (while still respecting our pre/determined requests) and we couldn’t have been happier with how the evening went. He made sure we were right on track when planning and was so patient with us the entire time, as we were very indecisive. We got a lot of compliments about how great our DJ was and I am not surprised based on his reputation. I will absolutely recommend him to everyone!

use and helped me stay sane/organized throughout the whole process. Then, he worked his MAGIC on our big day and the dancefloor was PACKED throughout the night!!! Our guests kept saying that Dave had the best wedding set list they have ever heard. No one wanted him to leave!! Thank you SO MUCH, Dave!!! You made our dreams come true!!!

ss. We had so many people tell us it was the best wedding dance floor they've been at, and the music was fantastic. We couldn't be happier that we hired him, and would do it again in a heartbeat!

e really had no idea what to expect or how to plan for our music and Dave was so great as he walked us through the process. His portal makes it so easy to add songs that you definitely want to hear as well as the "do not plays." The best part about it was that he really read our crowd and played the best songs ever. We had an absolute blast!

ever had more fun in my entire life and that is because of Dave. Every single song he played was a hit! He perfectly blended our favorite songs with the hits that everyone loves so seamlessly. We have received SO many compliments from our guests saying that they have never seen a dance floor so packed and the number one thing they rave about is Dave. From the first time we talked to Dave we knew he was the perfect fit. The entire process was so seamless and he was so incredibly kind. We are so grateful for Dave and there are truly no words for how talented he is!! Booking five star events will be the best decision you make!

on the dance floor! He dressed nicely and was very professional! Dave is a pleasure to work with!

out how much fun they had!! Dave is so easy to work with and he was super responsive. My husband and I highly recommend Dave. He is such a talented DJ and he helped make our wedding day the best day of our lives!

te from a guest was “I think this man is trying to kill me — I can’t stop dancing the music is THAT GOOD… he’s amazing”. No one left the dance floor all night — it was absolutely wild!!! Dave was so accommodating throughout the entire wedding process. He listened closely to me and my husbands vision for the night. Everything was perfect. The ceremony and cocktail hour was absolutely stunning with beautiful music playing in the background. Whatever you do… book 5 star events for your wedding if you want an unforgettable night full of of dancing. DAVE IS THE BEST. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

ly read the room, made announcements when we asked him to (for group pictures and whatnot) and was SO easy to work with. One of our family members had a lot of requests for songs (some of which my husband and I were less than thrilled about)… we talked to Dave about this beforehand and day of the wedding he handled it absolutely perfectly. He asked our family member to write down a song whenever he thought of one, and made an effort to play the songs that fit the vibe. It was absolutely perfect because the party continued and the person felt validated and included, which meant so much to us. We could not recommend Dave more!

cember 2019 and spent hours searching for the right DJ. After inquiring with Dave, it was a no brainer that he would be the perfect fit. Shortly after booking, we unfortunately had to post pone our wedding, not once, but twice. Dave was more than flexible and made this process seamless. Fast forward to December 2021, and the final planning process was very easy going when making music selections. Dave had plenty of recommendations and suggestions which was super helpful. Once wedding day came, everything flowed very nicely from ceremony to reception. The second dinner was over Dave had people on the dance floor until the very last minute of our wedding. He did not disappoint. We can’t recommend choosing Dave enough as he massively exceeded our expectations. He was very a very personable person and great to work with!!

helpful. Then, COVID hit and we made the difficult decision to postpone. Dave was EXTREMELY flexible and understanding. Once we let him know our new date (and new venue) he remained flexible and attentive to what we wanted. He continued to be so easy to work with and spent time with us on the phone before our wedding day, helping us with the flow of the evening and various songs for each part of the night. Once the night began, he was awesome start to finish. The dance floor was packed all night and he really knew how to work the room. It's impossible to keep track of how many guests said our wedding was a blast, in large part to the great work done by Dave! Thank Dave for being a part of our special day and for making it so memorable! We highly recommend Dave!

revised wedding date. Dave was so flexible, responsive and willing to work with us through all of it. He made the experience so easy, listened to what we wanted and delivered exactly what we were looking for. Our dancefloor was packed the entire time, all due to Dave's ability to read the room, and his awesome music selection. We would recommend him to anyone looking for a great DJ in the Cape Cod area!

ur wedding. He is professional, has years of experience, and is so relaxed and chill, we loved his vibe! My husband and I both loved working with Dave throughout the past 2+ years. When we decided to postpone in 2020, he was quick to make the rescheduling easy to do for August 2021. Picking our songs for the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing was easy with Dave's platform. I felt like after Dave took a look at our song choices he knew exactly what to play all night. Our dance floor was PACKED as soon as he announced the floor was open! Dave read the crowd and knew exactly what to play next to keep the party going. I swear I thought the dance floor was going to break. Thank you Dave for everything, the night could not have been more perfect!!

ked with us to create the perfect timeline and communicated with us throughout the wedding to make sure it flowed perfectly. His platform is user-friendly and is designed to ensure that he plays all your favorite songs. I would HIGHLY recommend Five Star Events and DJ Dave and hope to have the opportunity to utilize their services in the future!!

was perfect. Dave is SUPER organized and helped guide us through the process of picking songs for the ceremony, dinner, and reception. Thank you Dave for everything; we will never forget you!

ave was empathetic and kind. I would recommend him several times over to anyone with an upcoming event!

or our wedding too. Not only did he provide the music for the reception, but he also coordinated the music for our ceremony - which was perfect. He was easy to work with and he gave great advice throughout the months leading up to our wedding. His online wedding planning tool is also very easy to use. I had the utmost confidence that he could read the crowd and play all the right songs to keep the dancing going - and he did just that. All of our guests raved about how much fun they had. I would recommend him to all engaged couples! Thank you Dave!

many questions regarding music choices and was awesome at recommending songs. During the ceremony and reception, he was great at choosing music for us in places we were unsure of, and it totally matched our taste. He also respected our wishes when it came to music genres and not playing certain songs. I am so happy we chose him! We had so many compliments on the music and everyone had such a great time.

absolutely recommend 5-Star Events for your wedding!

to Dave through the wedding night, he was informative , personable, reliable, and true to his word. Dave played what the couple wanted, kept a perfect flow to the reception, and never took the spotlight off of them. I highly recommend Dave for any event requiring a DJ. My own feet still hurt after 2 days because every time I tried to sit down and rest , another favorite song would play and force me to dance! Even our guests who consider themselves non-dancers found it impossible to resist dancing!! Absolutely wonderful vendor!!!

dding, he was fantastic to work with - so relaxed, patient, and flexible. He offered great suggestions and ideas we hadn't thought about. He listened carefully and was responsive to our needs and concerns. During the time when we were planning our wedding, we attended a friend's wedding where we felt the music and evening ended abruptly. This freaked us out so we told Dave about the experience; he assured us that was very different from what he does and talked us through his approach to wind down the evening (which he executed perfectly!!! We were so impressed with how he closed out the night - I still remember everyone on the dance floor with us and singing along to the final few songs). Throughout our wedding, our guests were on the dance floor the entire time! Dave played a perfect mix of music to keep the crowd up and dancing and having fun. He was very in tune to the crowd and the event. He is not a flashy / obnoxious DJ, which we appreciated. His focus is on playing great music and keeping the party going!! One small thoughtful detail (before the dancing started) that I loved - during my dad's speech, he briefly mentioned Peter, Paul, and Mary in one of the memories that he shared. Dave picked up on this and transitioned seamlessly into a PPM song as we were hugging my dad and the next course was being served. The evening was perfect and Dave was a huge part of this as he kept the crowd up dancing and having the best time. We were so happy and would very highly recommend Dave!!

e to talk over the phone helping her by answering some questions we had prior to meeting and she noticed right away how comfortable he made her feel. Shortly after we had a chance to met in person to go over some more details and Dave answered all of our questions and had a very caring, down to earth personality. Dave is very professional and we are so happy we choose him. He always had song suggestions and ideas and was happy to help. For you brides to be, look no further. We were able to come up with a list of a few of our favorite songs and he was able to get a good idea of what kind of music we liked to keep the party going! I also remember him checking in with us before our main introductions to see how long we wanted to do our first dance for which we thought was nice since we were unsure beforehand. One of our goals was to keep everyone on the dance floor as much as possible and Dave was able to do just that with our requests and some others had as well. Dave helped make our day everything we could have asked for and we'll always remember that. I hope he had a chance to enjoy the day as much as we did! If we have another opportunity to hire a DJ we will definitely choose Dave, Thank you so much! -Jon and Kim

tails. We met with him in person for the first time a week before the wedding, he was very professional and organized. Dave made sure to go through the whole timeline and go through the song list to make sure we were all on the same page. 5 Star Events has a very easy system to work with online to add your must play songs and to specify when you want a certain song to play during the reception. I highly recommend Dave Hodges and 5 Star Events as your wedding DJ!

ests from my guests! He had everyone dancing from the beginning of my wedding to the very end, no one wanted to leave including myself! If you are looking for a 5 star DJ, then Dave is your man!

n the dance floor from start to finish. We highly recommend Dave!!!

other. Their website was easy to use to pick out our songs and document our timeline. Dave had great recommendations during the planning process and accommodated the different tastes in music that my husband and I had as well as our guests. The whole night flowed smoothly and our guests had a great time dancing! I also wanted to mention that Dave even went out of his way to edit a song my brother wanted to use to propose to his girlfriend. Dave and 5 Star Events truly care about their clients, and they are great at what they do!

unded perfect. 5 Star Events also provided uplighting for us and was the most reasonably priced we could find. Greg is not an MC getting on the mic constantly, he makes the day all about you with great music. He has a very extensive music database, which I have noticed from friends' weddings that not every DJ has as up to date music as Greg has. Anytime my husband or I put in a music request, it was always the next to be played or he'd even fade out the current song he was playing. The dance floor was packed all night and everyone had such a blast! My friend who is in a band that plays weddings was even raving about Greg's style and equipment. We could not be happier and will definitely use him again if we have any other events. I highly recommend that you book this DJ!

m our first email onward and made sure we had everything we needed. We never thought of us or our friends as dancers but because of Greg we cut up the dance floor for hours and were so glad we could. Add in his very reasonable rates and you got yourself your DJ.

professional and accommodating. Our guests were, literally, dancing all night long. We also used Greg for a monogram which came out excellent and received many positive comments from our guests. All in all... Greg and his group are a sure bet!

oor all night! We couldn't have asked for a better DJ! They also have an awesome online system where you pick all your songs! It's so easy to use and made picking wedding songs so much fun! Dave also did a special request for us by splitting our first dance song, and he did it fantastically. I would highly recommend him!!

" list since before we even got engaged). So I put him in charge of finding a DJ. He contacted a lot of potential DJs, and complained that he just wanted to find someone normal and laid back, who would keep the dance floor packed. And once he talked to Greg, he knew he had found that. Greg worked with him to make sure all the must plays were there, and gave him feedback on how to make sure the dance floor stayed crowded throughout the night. Which it did! Everyone was dancing and having a great time throughout the reception. Greg was great, professional, and easy to work with throughout. Greg also has great and easy to use equipment especially wireless mics and speakers for the ceremony so everybody can hear everything. We loved Greg because of the quality of his work but also that he was just a regular guy with none of that used car salesman feel that you can get from other DJs. We would highly recommend him!

going or give them the slow-down break that they need. We had SO MUCH FUN at our reception in big part thanks to Greg and danced even more than we planned to. He was excellent at keeping it all very classy (what we asked for) and was right on with a few very specific timing requests for music transitions at the end of our father daughter dance. The bonus is that he is a tech nerd through and through and builds his own state-of-the-art sound systems that truly sound amazing both indoors and outdoors. Thank you so much Greg!

little bit worried about our wedding music because I tend to really dislike some classic dance/party music like Love Shack, YMCA, etc. But Dave talked to us multiple times before our wedding to ensure he had a very good idea of our personalities and music tastes. The client interface was really easy to use. There were three lists that we were encouraged to use: must play, maybe play, and do not play. This helped Greg to get an even better idea of our music preference. In all, the music and the MCing went great! I had multiple guests come up to me both during and after the wedding to tell me how great the music was. Our dance floor was packed from the first song to the last. Also elected to include the uplighting option and it added just enough sparkle to our venue. Can’t recommend 5 Star Events, and Dave Hodges, enough.

d was not disappointed during our consultation. Greg is so personable, and knows the business inside and out. I was very overwhelmed with all of the detail involved in wedding planning, but he jumped right in with suggestions for different music selections, advice about different things such as the introductions and centerpiece distributions, and patiently dealt with any questions and delays. He coordinated with our venue, and everything went off without a hitch on the day of the wedding. We had a diverse guest list, age-wise, and Greg played such a great variety of music, everyone was happy. The dance floor had a ton of activity, and he was happy to play requests. My husband & I were told by several people that they had more fun at our wedding than any other they had attended! I would not hesitate to recommend Greg to anyone looking for a DJ, whatever the event!

to all my emails. He has a wonderful website with every song you could imagine on it to help you set up your playlist. He has so much experience that he knows exactly what every couple is looking for and executes it flawlessly. He did an amazing job with the playlist at our wedding, blending newer songs to get younger people up on the dance floor, with older songs that everyone loves. Everyone commented on how great Greg was, and how much fun they had. I would and have, confidently recommend Greg to anyone!

uss details. His passion for music, technology and sound was apparent right off the bat. His enthusiasm was magnetic and he gained our trust immediately. He offered great suggestions regarding song selections, timeline of events, etc. His online music database and planning forms are amazing tools that will take all your stress away! In regards to the wedding day…Greg was phenomenal!! To start, his timing was spot on. He was an excellent MC for the introductions and announcements throughout the night. And as far as the music, he killed it! He kept the dance floor PACKED all night!! Our guests ranged from ages 10-80 and each and every person was up and dancing. Thanks to Greg, we continue to get rave reviews from guests about the awesome music and great time they had. He also set up dance floor lighting which was a great addition to the dance party! Believe me when I say, Greg is worth every penny. He gave us 110% throughout the whole process. He made us feel relaxed and confident in his abilities, and he proved us right! If you are looking for a fun, classy, great time with the best music, then choose 5 Star Events! You will not regret it!!!

n, I had a wonderful feeling about working with Greg. He is a great listener, and genuinely cared about bringing my musical vision to life for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. His patience and hard work are stellar. He has a huge music collection, and was open to sharing music files via Dropbox for specific Jewish songs, tangos, showtunes, etc that I wanted to have played. His website was easy to use. When my computer became ill, he was kind enough to track down some of the songs that I could not upload properly. I hope to work with Greg again in the future, and am certain you would love 5 Star Events too!

ia email, he has been so responsive, helpful, and extremely reliable. He has many years of experience and has developed great relationships with the venues and vendors in the area. As such, he was able to offer advice on everything, even something like which part of our venue would be best to hold the cocktail hour. On the day of our wedding, Greg arrived early and with a smile on his face. He kept things moving seamlessly, and our dance floor was packed from before the salads were served until the very end of the last song! So many of our friends and family have raved about Greg and his mix of both old and new songs which appealed to all of our guests. We truly cannot recommend him highly enough!
