Afino Entertainment

From the first time we spoke to Dave, you can immediately tell this wasn't just a "job" for him, it's his passion. We immediately knew he would be a good fit. He takes what he does very serious and wants you to have an amazing experience. He takes the time to understand your... Read More vision, musical preferences and program details. He is very knowledgeable and makes suggestions based on his experiences. He has an amazing personality, punctual, and very organized. He is very detailed oriented and didn't miss a beat throughout our wedding. He even stepped in to help us with the reception entrance line up (something he didn't have to do) and im glad he did! He saw an opportunity that could have caused stress on us and was quick to suggest something to make sure everything continues to run smooth. He made sure we stuck to our timeline and made all necessary announcements. He read the crowd and played the right music to keep the dancing going. He does this cool thing at the end by gathering everyone on the floor to take a group photo, I thought that was amazing! Also suggesting a bride and groom last dance was a perfect close out to our wedding day. He was definitely worth the investment. We are strong believers in you get what you pay for and what we received was priceless!

Working with dave was so easy and laid back, we could not have asked for a better experience. Our wedding music from start to finish was great! I honestly do not think I stopped dancing (: Dave was very accommodating considering our wedding was all the way in Philadelphia but he... Read More was happy to be there even with a long drive to and from the venue! I highly recommend dave for your DJ needs for any event.

From the very first phone call with Dave we knew that we didn't have to look any further for a DJ and had found the one! Dave is extremely passionate about what he does and that is very clear when you speak with him. He is extremely detailed and always willing to give you... Read More feedback to make sure everything on the big day goes smoothly. He accommodated all of our requests and everything played out super smoothly on the big day. My family is Brazilian and he did a great job incorporating the Brazilian songs into all parts of the wedding and we had a good mix of both cultures - it was truly incredible! He coordinated with the venue very well, all of our guests loved him and his energy is truly amazing! I had some friends that are getting married next year ask for his information and I didn't hesitate one bit! I'd recommend Afino Entertainment to anyone! My husband and I were so so happy and we couldn't thank Dave enough for everything and for giving us such a memorable day <3

Afino Entertainment is the best! My wedding was just this past Saturday, August 26, 2017 at Nanina's in the Park in Belleville, NJ. Dave DJ'd my entire wedding from the ceremony through the cocktail hour and reception. Dave was nothing but exceptional. His professionalism,... Read More attentiveness, kindness and experience are extremely notable. I highly recommend this outstanding company to anyone.

I planned my wedding in less than 2 months. Dave was recommended by a mutual friend and he exceeded all of my expectations. He was extremely kind and professional throughout the whole process. He worked with my budget, was very helpful and was accommodating with my Monday... Read More evening wedding!! He had the party going all night and almost everyone complimented me on how much fun he was! Thank you so much Dave!!

Dave always does an amazing job, me and my twin sister just had him DJ for our graduation party and everyone had so much fun. We also have a few friends that had him DJ at their sweet 16's and everyone was up and dancing and having a blast. I definitely highly recommend!! Dave... Read More always does such an amazing job!

We had the pleasure and joy of having Dave, DJ Afino, DJ our wedding this past Memorial Day weekend. The process of picking a DJ was for us one of the things we worried the most about. We had been to a few weddings where the music took away from the night and our biggest fear... Read More was that the dance floor would be empty. Both our families are big dancers and wedding people so we knew that we had to pick the right DJ – and boy did we pick the right one! At our first in person meeting with Dave we knew he was the right choice. Dave was warm, inviting, friendly and extremely professional. As a gay couple we were very impressed by his openness and that he had same sex wedding paperwork, since on so many of our wedding papers we had Groom and Bride signature lines. In addition to this we never had to ask any of our questions since Dave consistently soothed our worries by just explaining his process and approach. We wanted a DJ that knew and loved his craft and didn’t just hit play on a playlist, but could read a room and weave music and styles together and Dave did all this masterfully. Afino’s professionalism and respect for the job is demonstrated by his very detailed pre-wedding questionnaire he has you do before you big day. It may seem like a lot, but it was very enjoyable for us both and really helped us think critically about the type of music and night we wanted. Dave gives you a lot of options for the night, but remember everything is customizable and he is very, very easy and open to work with. By the way, if you are thinking this questionnaire is a glorified playlist you are wrong – it is a guide and that was clear to us on the wedding day when Dave played music and songs we would have never thought of, but fit the mood perfectly and kept everyone raging. At our wedding day Dave truly brought everything together for an amazing and fun night. That may sound like a cliché that everyone says about their wedding, but in our case it was absolutely true. With the few exceptions of during speeches and in the beginning of the main course that dance floor was never empty! We have had so many people come to us and say how amazing the music was and that it was one of the most fun weddings they have been to. To date at least 2 people have asked for his info to recommend for other weddings and our cousin is using Dave for her wedding in September. Picking a DJ can be hard work and something couples worry a lot about, but look no further folks. If you are here reading this – BOOK DAVE – DJ AFINO NOW! You will not regret it!

By far the best experience of all the vendors we used on our wedding day. I was a little apprehensive at first because Dave's prices were so much more reasonable than the DJ who tries to sell you these elaborate packages with a huge staff of personnel. We've been to a few... Read More weddings this past year and I've got to say Dave is fully capable of providing the same or superior atmosphere as those who charge MUCH more. The service he provides leaves nothing to be desired. He walked us through everything before the wedding and made sure everything was as we wanted it. My wife and I enjoyed picking out the music on the website Dave provides (optional) and he stuck to what we wanted and totally embraced the vibe we were going for. I can't imagine why anyone pay 2 - 3 times what Dave charges for a McDJ when you could have someone who takes pride in offering a high quality service.

Dave was the most amazing DJ! He did a great job keeping everyone on the dance floor and catering to both our Spanish guests and our Russian guests. Everyone had an amazing time, and it was very much because of Dave's wonderful and joyous personality. He really set the perfect... Read More mood for our wedding. Thank you again Dave!

AFINO entertainment is the absolute best! From the moment we connected, he was professional and knowledge. We hired afino entertainment a year and a half before our wedding date and I couldn't be more happier. We used his services for our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception.... Read More Every time I reached out Dave responded right away and made sure our day was perfect. I asked him to put together a dance mix for my father daughter dance, with in hours he emailed me the mix. His response time and customer service skills are exceptional. The dance floor was full of dancing the whole night. He was amazing! Thank you Dave for making my day perfect. You are amazing at what you do!

Dave went above and beyond for our wedding May 20th. We planned our wedding from San Diego, so distance was a struggle, but Dave made it seamless. We didn't even meet until the day of and I'm bummed because he was awesome! The uplighting was beautiful, he performed our... Read More pre-ceremony, ceremony, cocktail hour and long extended reception. We had an outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour and Dave used all of his wireless equipment. The crowd never stopped dancing and he read everyone's mood to keep the dance floor full. He even customized our first dance song, and managed to capture us completely. Music is a VERY important part of our lives and we're honored to say Dave was our wedding day DJ. If you're getting married in the tri-state area and haven't booked Dave, you're crazy. I already have friends booking him for Fall 2018! Thank you sooooooo much! ~ Matija and Joe

Dave is incredible! He dj'ed our wedding on May 7th at the Madison Hotel in Morristown, NJ and did an impeccable job. He was amazing from start to finish, and made our day so special. His process is extremely streamlined, which helped make things easy for us. He has a great... Read More presence, and voice on the mic, is very easy-going and was a real pleasure to work with. He played all the songs we asked for and added to that vibe by filling in the gaps with his own additions. Everyone had an awesome time and danced the whole night. We got amazing feedback from our guests all night about the music. We really felt he went above and beyond, and we highly recommend his services. Thanks again, Dave! G&J

Afino deserves 5 stars across the board! Dave is amazingly talented and was the icing on the cake at our wedding! He paid close attention to details, like pronouncing the bridal party names correctly to editing our songs as requested. He kept the party going all night and made... Read More sure our guests were up dancing and having a good time. He created a great atmosphere with both the music and the up-lighting... and not to mention dancing on the clouds for our first dance as husband and wife. We are so happy with Dave's professionalism and would recommend him to ANYONE!

DJ Afino was the best decision we made for our wedding day. Dave truly made our reception stand out from the rest. From cocktail hour to our last dance we had THE BEST TIME! Unlike other receptions ours was broken into 3 different song sets where our guests were able to get up... Read More and dance throughout the night and throughout our sit down dinner.Dave was energetic throughout the whole night, he even jumped on the dance floor and danced with us. We had a custom entrance that he helped us orchestrate it was just perfect! We also had a custom monogram which Dave placed perfectly in our ballroom. At the end of the night he helped our guests all get together on the dance floor for a group photo (his idea which we loved). He even made a hilight video of the day which is something we have never seen from a DJ. I wish we were getting married again this weekend so we could do it all again. Thank you DJ Afino for making our wedding rock! We love You! Love Tony & Kym Lezotte

My wedding was amazing and it's all thanks to DJ Afino! Dave gave my guest the time of their life. At the end of the night they kept asking me, where did you find him? He was phenomenal. He kept the guests moving all night! He was very kind and knew how to keep everyone... Read More entertained. He even made sure the end of the wedding was amazing and even instilled a great way to include everyone. Which was a great hit!! The booking process was seamless, easy as 1-2-3 and prior to the wedding event he walked me through the entire night which eased any stress I had about how the night would go. He had us fill out a format and took our music requests and built an awesome night based off of it. He did not miss a beat throughout the night. He definitely is very professional and you can see he loves to entertain. I would recommend using DJ Afino for any wedding or party need!

Dave was superb. He spent the time to make our reception just what we wanted and I can't say thank you enough. Our guests stayed on the dance floor all night and I heard all the next day how fantastic he was. Dave can work within a budget and still provide stellar service -... Read More you won't even feel that you're missing out on anything because he is such a professional and personable guy.

Dave was great from start to finish. Even with a shortened timeline, he worked with my husband and I to create great music at an event where the ages ranged from 5-80! Literally 1 week before we were still tweaking the details, yet he took the time and effort on the phone late... Read More one night to go over the details of the day. Guests loved the selection of music which ranged from doo-wop to latin to popular music of today! And his signature ending of the night was something we had never seen before! Thank you for also getting the amazing logo up on the wall for our guests to enjoy. It was a surprise for all to see, and added that sweet touch to the picturesque night.

Dave was amazing. He answered all my crazy long distance questions and had a great tool developed to know exactly which songs I needed to know about and then also took cues from the make up of the audience to make sure everyone had something they knew and could dance to. He is... Read More clearly passionate about what he does and was so easy and fun to work with. All the guests really enjoyed the entertainment! He helped make our wedding day perfect!

Dave was really professional and passionate about what he does. His lighting was amazing and everyone was dancing all night

Look no further for your NYC wedding DJ! DJ Afino is the best! Dave was our DJ for our May 3rd wedding at the New York Botanical Garden. My fiance and I are quite picky about music and we loved him and got great compliments about the music. First of all, from start to finish, he... Read More is a reliable professional. Extraordinarily attentive and easy to talk to. He makes himself available to talk about any of your wedding details and always responds promptly and thoughtfully. He was a pleasure to work with, affordable for NYC and really delivered. He brings the party! His equipment and mixing skills are excellent. He provided the sound and equipment for our outdoor wedding ceremony, our cocktail hour in a separate tent and in the ballroom for the reception. The sound all day was excellent. He provides an entertainment form that helps make sure you give him all the details you need for the special songs you want and when they're being played (processional, recessional, first dance, parent dances, etc.). He follows up on everything with you too. He is on top of what he's doing. He even asked me exactly when in the song I wanted my processional song to start when I walked down the aisle. I loved his attention to detail. During the reception, people were on the dance floor all night! We provided glow sticks for the last hour of dancing and he had awesome lights to project on the ceilings and it just made for an incredible dance party. Friends told me they hadn't danced that hard in a long time. Seriously, don't even worry about looking any further. Call Afino Entertainment, book DJ Afino and you'll have a blast! Thank you, Dave!
