Afino Entertainment

Dave was absolutely amazing! He was so accommodating when plans kept changing throughout the night and even helped with ideas. Dave had the entire party of all ages up and dancing and having so much fun. Thank you for that crazy dubstep 😉 and for having Harris get to DJ his own set!! We couldn’t have asked for anyone better for our special day.

Dave was incredible. We had so many compliments about how awesome his style and selections were. He was honest with me about the way our night was set up and super helpful about ways to make it feel longer. He was interactive with the crowd but not over the top.

Throughout planning Dave was extremely responsive, professional and helpful. When it came to our wedding day, I received so many compliments on how great he was from both venue staff and guests. The music selection was absolutely perfect and Dave’s energy is great! We loved him! Thank you for helping to make our day perfect!

Huge thank you to Dave for just listening to our needs and bringing them to life! Unfortunately, not enough DJs do this. You were professional and really went above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect. Thank you for all your suggestions and late night convos! I was one anxious bride haha.Everyone loved you Dave they really did! Thank you for adding the magic we wanted everyone to experience. We loved every minute ofboyr ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. The uplighting was gorgeous. We had an anniversary dance, and also played the shoe game. Perfect touch! We suspect there will be many social events requiring your expertise and will not hesitate to refer or call you anytime we have an event. You are awesome. If I could give 1,000 stars I would. Highly recommend Dave for DJ services. Love, Ashley & Stephanie

My husband and I hired Dave to be the DJ and emcee for our wedding. From start to finish, Dave made our lives easier when it came to planning our wedding. Not only is he professional, he is also very friendly and easy to talk to! In the months leading up to the big day, Dave was helpful in answering questions we had. Coming out of our scheduled call to discuss logistics and music requests, we felt comfortable knowing our wedding music and overall programming was in his hands. He was thorough in reviewing the typical run of show, helpful in sharing advice based on his extensive experience, and extremely knowledgeable of ways to make our wedding as seamless as possible. It's clear Dave cares about each and every one of his clients—whether it's a wedding, birthday, or a corporate function—and he takes the time to truly understand your wishes and expectations. Our wedding guests raved about the music on our special night, and we credit that to Dave's expertise in reading the crowd and tailoring the music based on his client's preferences. We would absolutely re-hire Dave in a heartbeat!

Dave did such an amazing job for our outdoor rooftop wedding in Midtown NYC! We received many compliments on our choice of DJ! Our venue was a little bit challenging in terms of loudness of music and noise as we are on a Midtown rooftop, but that limitations did not stop Dave from throwing such an amazing fun wedding party! He had such an awesome selection of music and had everyone dancing nonstop! The night before the wedding, me and my now husband can't decide on what music for our first dance, dance with parents etc.. and Dave's suggestions are very impressive! it feels like we've been friends for years and definitely knows our styles! everything turned out so perfect! Great sound and lighting equipment and phenomenal Emcee skills! very engaging! We are beyond grateful having Dave as part of our Special Day! SUPER HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! 10 STARS FOR YOU DAVE! WELL DONE!

Dave did an awesome job as the DJ for our wedding. After sending him the list of songs and vibes we were going for he took the lead and made sure the entire night went smoothly. Can't think of a better person that could have done our music that night!

The best Entertainer ever!! He was the absolute best from beginning to end, to putting our dream music together, no one ever left the dance floor! My guest are still raving about "Your DJ". He played the right music at the right time and was even jamming with us on the dance floor! I couldn't have hired a better entertainer than @afinomusic from Afino Entertainment

Dave was a fantastic DJ and kept the crowd dancing all night. Our guests raved about him afterwards. He was also very friendly and responsive during the planning process. He took all of our requests into consideration while infusing his own style/creativity into his set (which is what we asked for and wanted). His prices are very reasonable and honestly great value for what he delivers. Highly recommend!!!

Dave was the DJ at our wedding, and we were happy to have him as our DJ. There was never a dull moment at our reception. Dave was able to understand the environment quickly, and he got people dancing in no time. Dave is very easy to get along with and he understood what kind of music we liked in no time. From our initial conversation to the end of the reception, Dave is attentive and dedicated to his craft. He understood our personalities, quickly, and figured out the best layout for our reception. Our bridal party and guests couldn’t stop complimenting on his work, and he was able to find music that everyone liked. We would recommend Dave to any event and are incredibly grateful that he was the DJ to our wedding. He’s talented, professional, and all around good person.

Absolutely amazing wedding DJ! Everyone was dancing the whole night, and I was told many times since that our DJ was fantastic (by all age groups). He played a great variety of music and was really able to read the room and keep the energy up. He was also able to get us a beautiful light projection that had our names and wedding date. I would definitely recommend Afino for your next event! He was great to work with, and I would happily hire him again! We could not be happier with how well everything turned out!

Dave was excellent to work with! He was very attentive to all of our wants as well as the things we did not want. He created a timeline for our wedding with us and was the emcee for our day. Everything went perfectly. Would highly recommend Afino entertainment to EVERYONE!!! And will definitely use him again!!’

Dave was wonderful to work with thought the wedding process. Very organized, professional, on time and knew how to keep the party going! Definitely recommended you won’t be disappointed!

Afino Entertainment was exactly what we were looking for on our wedding day. Dave is such a great guy who really listens and makes sure he’s providing exactly what you are envisioning for your big day. He spent time with us getting to know us, and paid such close attention to detail which made us know we were in good hands. Our wedding was on an intimate Thursday night, so we wanted to keep the music romantic and low-key for the most part. Dave immediately knew what we were looking for and went above and beyond providing that for us. Our family was beyond happy with the whole evening. They were so impressed with how romantic the whole night felt, and they absolutely loved the music selection Dave picked for us to keep the night going at a perfect pace. Dave is so verstitile and really wants to make your big day special. He will work so hard to make that happen. You can’t go wrong with Afino Entertainment!

Afino Entertainment was absolutely amazing!! Dave was extremely helpful since my husband and I were not sure what a typical wedding format was. His online form not only helped us pick the songs we wanted, but outlined what the entire night would be like. One of the extras that is a MUST is the uplighting that he provides. It is well worth the price and made our wedding night that much more special. Dave was also very personable and flexible and is probably one of the best DJs for weddings in the tristate area.

Dave was our DJ at our wedding and we were so impressed! He was extremely professional from the get-go, asking us questions that we hadn't even thought about! On our wedding day, we got so many compliments from our guests and of course, we had a wonderful time. Thank you!

I booked Afino Enterainment after seeing Dave DJ at my friends wedding (which was amazing!). I felt so comfortable working with him right from the beginning. You can tell just by speaking with him that he loves his job and he knows what he’s doing. A few weeks before my wedding day, he reached out to me and planned the entire day and made sure everything was okay music wise. He’s a super organized guy and broke every single detail down for me (which really helped my stress levels!) My wedding ended up being beyond what I dreamed it to be. Dave did both my ceremony and reception music, and did such a wonderful job with it all. I had a very short wedding, but regardless, all of my music requests were made and everyone had such a fun time! I’m so glad I booked with Afino! You really won’t regret it if you choose him!

Dave was absolutely amazing. He is everything you want in a DJ: professional, friendly, organized, knowledgeable, and experienced. Before our wedding, he sent a very detailed questionnaire that covered what music we wanted for all the different parts of our wedding. Once I saw how thorough this was, I instantly knew I was in good hands. On our call to review the questionnaire, he asked good questions and made sure he knew exactly what we wanted (and didn't want). We had lots of specific requests (for example, starting some songs at a certain timecode, placing the speakers in a specific area, playing a special cut down version of a song and not the version from Spotify). He took note of every last detail and executed everything flawlessly. He played every song we listed on his questionnaire and set the perfect mood for the entire evening. Thanks to him, our first dance was a huge hit! My husband and I had spent six months working on a complicated choreographed first dance, and the song we chose has very low audio in the beginning. We were afraid we wouldn’t be able to hear our cues (which would throw off the entire dance), so we mentioned to Dave that this was really important to us. He took the time to listen to the song beforehand and he knew exactly what we meant. He made sure the beginning was loud and clear and even gave us a little nod to tell us it was starting. He's also a magician when it comes to getting the energy up and bringing people to the dance floor. Our speeches ran long so we were behind schedule, but even given the limited time, Dave got all the guests out on the dance floor right away and everyone had a blast. He also (very kindly) wrangled my entire wedding party and organized their entrance into the reception. He didn't have to do this, but it was incredibly helpful. Also, during my maid of honor’s speech, she mentioned that we had taken a road trip to see a boy band together, and I'm pretty sure Dave played a song by that boy band later on in the evening! It was such a special touch and just another example of how thoughtful he is. It is clear he loves what he does. I can't say enough good things about him! He is so sweet and talented, and because he's so experienced, he has lots of helpful guidance and ideas. I am very grateful for all his hard work. Dave, thank you for making our day so special and unforgettable!

I highly recommend Dave for any event. My guests from my wedding are still raving about him! He kept the energy high all night and was very organized. The special effects were worth it and wowed everyone. He knew the right music to play based on the questions he asked me, and also played some of the Greek music I asked him to play, people went CRAZY! Would definitely use him again for any sort of event. Thanks for everything!!

I cannot rave enough about how amazing Dave was at our wedding! Throughout the night and now the days after, guests have complimented us on how great the music and atmosphere was and asked us where we found such a great DJ. Dave was professional from start to finish, timely to answer all of my questions leading up to the day, and on top of every detail. He helped us plan out the timeline so things would flow smoothly throughout the night and thought of things I never would have like talking to the officiant about moving the mic so our vows could be easily heard. Dave loves what he does and it shows through in his service and ability to read a crowd. There was never a down moment throughout the night. Thank you so much for an awesome night!

We could not have been happier with our choice of Afino to deejay our wedding at Yankee Stadium. Dave was professional, warm, friendly and so easy to work with from beginning to end. We especially appreciated how he paid so much attention to detail and took the time to explain how things would go. Very reassuring at each stage, especially when we worried rain might make us move the ceremony indoors. Thankfully the sun shone for us! Must say Afino was well-priced for all the work that went into our wedding. Afino’s online forms made planning and paying expertly efficient. Highly recommend!

Dave is the perfect DJ for a wedding. As a bride, you need to work with people that can easily work with your vision and that are reliable. Let me tell you, Dave from Afino Entertainment will exceed your expectations. He consults with you prior to the wedding to get a detailed understanding of what you have in mind and ever so tactfully makes suggestions that elevates your original idea. He follows up with a detailed questionnaire regarding the music and events for the day and then consults with you again to review it, and offers more suggestions to make the day go as smoothly as possible and of course to maximize the fun! He literally helped me customize a playlist that I was unsure how to go about designing, crafted my wedding timeline with me down to the half hour, and suggested creative ways to end the night (not to mention he's also just fun to chat with, like an old friend!). He's highly professional, super responsive, thoughtful, reliable and just an awesome DJ. He is also very eclectic and versatile when it comes to music, so he can easily DJ for any type of audience. I highly recommend Afino Entertainment!

I can't say enough amazing things about Afino Entertainment, I would highly recommend Dave to all of my friends and family for any event! Dave was always available to answer any of our questions and he helped us out a lot with our wedding format. He took the time to call us a few days before our wedding and go over the entire format with us. We had a lot of questions and he answered them completely. We felt more at ease after speaking with Dave and I trusted completely that everything would just go perfectly. My friends and family have been raving about Dave since the night of our wedding. There was a great flow of music throughout the night and it kept everyone on the dance floor. I was always so excited to see that he made a short video of the entire day. Of him setting up the event ,and all the hard work he put into it, to pieces of our vows, dancing, and the ending of an amazing night!

Dave from Afino entertainment DJ'd our wedding reception. He was phenomenal. We did a couple of calls with him before the event to figure out the flow of the evening and what genre of songs we wanted in each section. We gave him songs to play and songs to definitely skip. He delivered on all fronts. The dance floor was nearly always full, and all groups (parents, younger folks) danced the night away. He even was nice enough to record the toasts and when our band performed so that we could have that too. He also brought his own lighting - we were worried it'd be cheesy but it turned out to be great! HIghly recommend his services and would happily use Dave again for in the future!!

It's easy to plug in 5 stars when you've never had to hire a DJ before, but Afino Entertainment earned every single star. Every time I had a question, Dave would respond the moment he could, even if it was just an acknowledgement that he got my email, and followed-up when he was available with a thorough and USEFUL answer--even when I made things complicated and asked if he'd share his speaker system so my cousin could play keyboard during the cocktail hour! He provided specs, pics, and traded cell numbers. I joked, at one point on the phone, that I was just going to ignore him all night long and enjoy my wedding and he honestly told me I should: It was his job to make my guests happy and it was my job to enjoy my day. Boy was he right. Dave put together an instrumental playlist for the ceremony that had my guests asking for a copy the instant cocktail hour started and had the dance floor PACKED all night long. My friends and family had a blast. The real kicker? I didn't get to meet him until after cocktail hour! I'm glad I ignored him (and I say that in the fondest of ways!). That he was the Hand of the Queen all night, I have no doubt.

Simply amazing! Dave is professional, knowledgeable and very organized. Many of our wedding guests told us how wonderful he was and everyone had a blast! He made the planning process very easy and noted every detail we've discussed leading up to the wedding day. He was very responsive and gave us a lot of ideas to make our wedding day even more special! He showed up to the venue early to make sure everything was set up and ready to go. He seamlessly took care of the arrival, ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner music and the reception and created an amazing atmosphere for us and our guests throughout the night. We also greatly appreciated his kindness and true passion for what he does. We couldn't have been happier and would recommend Dave to anyone!

The DJ was just the best. He played all the types of music we requested and kept all entertained the entire time. They made my celebration one great day. Can't say enough on how great they were

Dave was very personable and made the planning process run quite smoothly. Our wedding was held at the Museum of the Moving Image and obviously film-themed. At our request, Dave played soundtracks from our favorite movies during cocktail hour and knowing my love for Disney, included some of my favorites during dinner. It was a hot day and the air conditioning broke at our venue. Despite the heat, Dave managed to get our guests on the dance floor to sweat even more! His recap video was quite touching as well.

Dave provided the entertainment for my wedding this past April 2018 and I couldn’t have asked for a better time! He was professional (being timely and accommodating) and ensured the night was fun and went smoothly! Before the wedding, he made it super easy to schedule times to discuss the set list and schedule for the big day, answering all questions and putting a bride-to-be at ease!

Dave was Incredibly nice and responsive through the whole process! We spoke before the wedding and he knew what we wanted to hear, there were a few more slow songs than we wanted, but I was also feeling sick for a part of the wedding and he played the slow songs while I was catching my breath outside. He was very attentive, and our guests seemed very happy and got up and danced! Seeing a recap video after the wedding was just icing on the cake!

Dave was the best choice for a DJ/mc for our wedding! He was very helpful with songs to play when to play them and even made multiple sing mixes for me bc we performed a 1st dance suprise with our kids. Everyone had a blast, no one was upset , all I saw were smiles and sweat lol. "my feet hurt from dancing so much" is what I kept hearing! will recommend him at anyone plus has a YouTube channel so you can view ours n other parties he has done.

I would give 10 stars if I could. I can't say enough how please I was with Afino Entertainment. I researched and interviewed numerous DJs. The thing that drew me in to Afino was not only the numerous positive reviews, but his response to one stand-out not so positive review. DJ Afino was cordial and professional in his response that I read online to that review, so I knew he was something special. We had conference calls and communication through e-mail was super easy. He aced everything that I threw at him including changes with only hours (and minutes) notice. Everyone loved the music. He read the crowd and played music that got everyone dancing. A++++

Dave from Afino is simply the best! The planning process was extremely well organized and smooth, his equipment and setup were the coolest, and he made our wedding shine! Despite a culturally diverse crowd, he filled the room with electric energy, got everyone on the dance floor having the best time ever. So many guests praised the playlist! He really brought our celebratory party to the next level - cannot thank him enough! A real Pro and we'd highly recommend him for any unique couple's special moments!

Great Service! Worth more then he charges! Great Value! I would use him for any future event!

Dave was the Dj of our wedding on 4.20.18. He was extremely easy to work with; just a few phone calls and a comprehensive questionnaire, he was able to perfect our set. He nailed the vibe we were going for at the wedding and the dance floor was packed all night! After the wedding, Dave sent us a follow up email with short video he created to remember the night. We would highly recommend DJ Afino for any wedding or event in the NJ/ NYC area!

Just amazing! From the moment we spoke on the phone, I knew he was the DJ for our wedding. Wedding planning is stressful, and you really need to have vendors you can trust will get the job done...and Afino entertainment was exactly that. Anything I asked for, any concern I had, Dave responded right away with a solution and some other options. It really made the process so much easier and made the night such a blast! He was so helpful, professional, and calm...basically a type of person you need at your wedding. He played music that had our guests dancing yet still very wedding/family appropriate, which is harder than it seems. 11/10 would recommend!

Want to make your wedding night that much more fun and exciting? Hire Dave, he really knows how to work magic and get your party bumping! My wife Jessie and I hired Dave back in September of 2017' when we married one another and it was the best day/night of our lives!. The music during the ceremony, cock-tail hour and reception were exactly what we had planned!. Dave is a great/active listener and very attentive when it comes to exactly what songs you'd like to play throughout each part of your wedding day. I was very impressed with how much time and dedication he took out of his schedule to meet with us and answer any questions we had leading up to the big day. He's never late to a meeting and always gives you a clear understanding of what to expect when hiring him. What stands out about Dave is that he is a creative soul and he isn't afraid to help you come up with unique/realistic ideas. I wanted to surprise my wife during our first dance with something different. I'm a musician and wanted to incorporate that somehow within the song we decided to dance to. I decided to pre-record myself playing the drums to our first dance song and then while dancing with her during our first dance, I'd run out of the venue. At that point, Dave would be responsible for projecting my pre-recroded video onto the big TV screen for the whole party to see. Dave helped me understand exactly how he'd be able to make this idea I had come to life. On the day of the wedding, Dave executed this plan flawlessly and made my wife so happy that she cried! It was a spectacular moment that I'll never forget. I'll never use another DJ Entertainment Company again!

We saw Dave at our friend’s wedding over the summer and we were impressed how into the event he was. He was genuinely happy to be at the event and brought so much energy to the room, it was contagious. We got his card at the end of the night and kept him in mind when we were planning our wedding. Our wedding was planned to be just a dinner party with 7 courses. We wanted a DJ to not only play music during the courses but also make the down time between courses more fun. From our first conversation with Dave, we knew we had our man. He knew exactly what we were trying to do and loved it. We went through all the songs we thought would be correct for the vibe and he built off that. The main thing we stressed to him was to feel out the room and play what the room wanted to hear. Once the dinner started, he played slower music to get people into the dinner feel then once the drinks started to flow, he played more and more upbeat songs (but didn’t force it). What started off as a dinner party became a full blown dance party. At the event he was professional, on time, had a great setup and knew what to do and when. We had several guests tell us the DJ was perfect and they asked where we found him. I cannot thank Dave enough for his enthusiasm, professionalism and skill as a DJ. We would highly recommend him for any event.

Dave is super professional and is genuinely a great guy. We could feel how much he really cares about his clients and the music and will go out of his way to make your wedding as perfect as he can make it. He nailed all the little details about how and when we needed certain songs to be played during our reception. Since we had a daytime wedding, we didn't think we wanted to dance and also didn't think our guests would spend much time on the dance floor. We were so wrong! We were out on the dance floor with our guests having a great time. We really have to credit Dave for that! He knows how to read a crowd and play what's appropriate in the moment. We couldn't recommend Afino Entertainment enough!

Dave was amazing! My husband and I got married on Oct 22 2017 at the Berkeley Plaza in Berkeley Heights NJ. He is very passionate about what he does and is an overall great guy! All of our guests loved him and were coming up to us saying how great he is! He did everything we asked and then some. He made our day stressfree and fun! His equipment is awesome and he takes pride in what he does. We would highly recommend Dave again . Thanks Dave, you rock!!!....lisa and Ian

Dave is incredible! As we started the wedding planning process, he was super helpful with guiding us through the flow of the night and was always offering fun and creative ideas. Not only is he a true professional, he is passionate about the music. Dave is extremely attentive to detail and knows how to both read and please a crowd! He played a huge part in making our wedding night perfect. It was such a pleasure working with him and would recommend Afino Entertainment to all brides and grooms! We hope to work with Dave again in the future.

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 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 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 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, attentiveness, kindness and experience are extremely notable. I highly recommend this outstanding company to anyone.
