DJ Johnny was great to work with, he understood our vision and really nailed it! I don’t think the dance floor was ever empty.
So many good things to say! From booking to day of great communication, and our event was great! Bryan was such a big help and really went above and beyond to make the day great!
We cannot recommend Center Stage and DJ Johnny enough! Johnny was very professional and helpful throughout the entire process. He brought the energy on the day of and kept the danc...
e floor lively the entire night! He got everyone involved and read the room perfectly to make sure all the guests had a great time. Johnny was very personable and after one call it felt like we had known each other for years.
We had a wonderful experience with DJ Steve from Center Stage Entertainment for our wedding. He did a great job throughout the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception, and was excel...
lent at reading the room.
My husband and I are not big dancers or “party people,” so we really appreciated that Steve found the perfect balance for us. He knew when to get people onto the dance floor and build up the energy, but also recognized when guests wanted to relax, enjoy the beautiful patio and lawn, and socialize. Nothing ever felt forced, and the atmosphere felt natural and comfortable throughout the night.
Steve also checked in with us frequently to make sure everything was going smoothly and to see if we had any additional requests or songs. He was professional, attentive, and helped make the evening exactly what we wanted.
TLDR- Steve was fantastic at creating a fun but relaxed atmosphere and reading the room throughout the night. He was attentive to us, kept everything running smoothly, and helped create a reception that felt very natural to us and our guests. We would absolutely recommend him!

g all night! I had so many people tell me that this was the best wedding they ever attended, and I believe that the entertainment played a huge role in that. I am looking forward to booking centerstage again in the future, as well as recommending them to future clients when our venue opens up to the public in 2027! Thank you so much for making our wedding so memorable, and by far, the best night of my life!
DJ Bryan Basara was absolutely amazing! I was honestly so stressed about the music and whether people would actually stay on the dance floor, but he completely understood the assig...
nment. The music was perfect, the energy was great, and our dance floor stayed busy all night. He really helped make our wedding reception so much fun!
The Photo Booth was also such an awesome add-on and our guests loved it. Highly recommend DJ Bryan Basara if you want someone who knows how to read the room and keep the party going. Thank you for making our wedding night so memorable!
Bryan and his teammate were very professional and played incredible music. Just what we wanted at the cocktail hour wedding reception as well as the wedding itself. I highly recomm...
end his up lighting at the reception. It added a great touch to the event. He’s been DJing for a very long time and it shows. He listened to what we wanted and executed it flawlessly.
Sam was awesome to work with! He was easy to communicate with, the music was great, and the energy kept everyone on the dance floor all night. We had such a fun time celebrating wi...

We used Center Stage for our wedding at AC Country Club this August and we had the best experience! Justin was our DJ (from ceremony through reception) and we had Paul on the sax. ...
The guests at the wedding were raving about how good the music was and my husband and I had an absolute blast. Paul was a great addition and I am so glad we made the choice to add the sax. I would recommend these guys/ Center Stage to anyone!
Sean was our DJ, he was so attentive to detail, kept us on schedule, and had our reception popping all night. Our dance floor was packed until the last minute. Can’t thank you enou...
gh. A perfect night for us!
Sam was a fantastic DJ, and we had multiple guests come up to us throughout the night (and after) tell us how great he was. He truly listened to what we wanted and executed everyth...
ing exactly as we envisioned, including helping us pull off a surprise mother-daughter dance that meant so much to us. He even got everyone - and I mean everyone, including my elderly grandmother, dancing BEFORE dinner.
From the very first call with Center Stage Entertainment and speaking with Ben, we knew they would be a great fit. We really appreciated their approach—they never made the process feel overwhelming and immediately came across as people we could trust and work with. We didn’t want wedding planning to feel stressful, and we wanted reliable entertainment that would bring our vision to life, which is exactly what we got.
Sam was professional, attentive, and incredibly easy to work with. He kept the energy going all night while still making sure the music and special moments felt true to us. We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ and would absolutely recommend Sam and Center Stage Entertainment to any couple looking for an amazing, stress-free experience!
Johnny was amazing!!! From the planning stages to the last song! Our wedding had 250 people and people didn't want the dance party to end! Highly recommend Center Stage and Johnny!...
Johnny and Centerstage were amazing! He crushed it and all the guests loved the music mix! 10/10
We had DJ Johnny B from Center Stage for our wedding in June, and we couldn't have been happier with our decision. Leading up to our big day, Johnny was easy to communicate with an...
d was available to answer our questions about songs, the wedding timeline, and anything else we needed. From the beginning of our ceremony to the final song of our reception, Johnny did a fantastic job with all of the music, and kept the dance floor going throughout the night. He incorporated all of our requests for certain songs and genres. We would highly recommend DJ Johnny B, and we would definitely have him as our DJ again!
We attended a wedding in November 2024 where Johnny B was the DJ and we immediately reached out to him to book him for our wedding after getting engaged in 2025. He was easy going ...
and professional. He asked us for a list of songs to play and not play, and asked what our vibes were and we told him to run with it. He asked for songs for specific moments like cake cutting, bridal party entrances, etc, and he nailed the timing of everything. He was able to play music that had all our guests of all ages on the dance floor all night long. He set up the spaces for our ceremony (which was outside), cocktail hour, and reception seamlessly and everyone was able to hear everything from every room. We wanted our wedding to feel less formal and more intimate, more like a party for all of our loved ones, and Johnny B made that feel so easy!! One of our bridesmaids just booked for her wedding in October. There’s a reason why once people hear him in action, they want him for their own events!
If you're looking for a DJ who will make your wedding the party of a lifetime, Sean McCaffrey and Center Stage Entertainment are it. People are still texting us days later saying i...
t was the most fun wedding they've ever attended. Sean has an incredible ability to read the room and keep the dance floor packed all night long. Every song hit at the perfect time, and the energy never dropped for a second.
What made our experience even more special was Sean's help in pulling off one of the biggest surprises of the night. My husband performed a song he wrote for me, and Sean helped keep the secret and execute it flawlessly. I was completely stunned, and it's a moment we'll never forget. He truly went above and beyond to make the night personal and meaningful.
The uplighting transformed the ballroom and completely elevated the ambiance of the room. The dancing-on-a-cloud effect made our first dance feel like a dream and gave us some of the most beautiful photos from the entire day. We also booked the photo booth through Center Stage, and it was a huge hit with our guests all night long.
Sean was accommodating, professional, organized, and genuinely invested in making our wedding exactly what we wanted it to be. We couldn't be happier that we chose him and Center Stage Entertainment. They helped create the best party of our lives, and it's a night we'll remember forever.
Thank you, Sean, for making our wedding absolutely unforgettable!
Excellent experience from beginning to end. Bryan was easily reachable, had great questions, suggestions, and ideas during the planning process. The execution of the day was magic...

Bryan was a big part in making the day special.

DJ Ben Campbell was absolutely awesome for our wedding at Atlantic City Country Club! Leading up the wedding, Ben reached out with to discuss our vision, how we'd like the night to...
flow, and anything that we felt like were "must haves" for the dance floor. My husband and I were told multiple times, literally on the dance floor, how awesome the music was and asked what we told Ben to play to have such a fun set list - I told them nothing really! Let Ben do his thing and he absolutely crushed it! He was professional, fun, and had the wedding timeline down so there were no hiccups day of. If you have the pleasure of working with DJ Ben for your wedding, great ready for an awesome night!
Center Stage Entertainment / Bryan hit it out of the park. We went to another wedding Bryan DJ'd in Philadelphia and it was so great, we didn't look anywhere else. For our Jersey...
City wedding, Bryan nailed every transition and the vibes were immaculate. We enjoyed the song selection tool he sent us prior to the wedding and he was an expert emcee. I unfortunately did not have dessert at my own wedding because I was dancing. 6 out of 5 starts, highly recommend.
Center Stage Entertainment came highly recommended by my sister‑in‑law, as several of her family members had hired Sean from CSE for their weddings. We booked Sean as our DJ as wel...
l, and we’re so glad we did. From the start, the team was professional, responsive, and easy to work with. Their client portal made it simple to organize our special songs, must‑plays, and do‑not‑plays, which gave us a lot of peace of mind leading up to the big day.
Sean absolutely nailed the music. The dance floor was full all night, and our guests had an amazing time. He also found the perfect moments to incorporate meaningful songs that weren’t necessarily dance tracks, which meant a lot to us. We received countless compliments on the music, and several guests have already reached out asking for CSE’s information to book with them.
Highly recommend—thank you, Sean!
Ben Campbell from Center Stage Entertainment absolutely knocked it out of the park. From start to finish, he was incredible to work with. Ben seamlessly blended a wide range of mus...
ic, from 80s classics to Swedish House Mafia, and somehow made it all flow perfectly. He even worked closely with me to put together custom instrumentals so I could walk down the aisle to Star Wars, which was such a meaningful and unforgettable touch.
Our wedding was a month ago and guests are still talking about how much he crushed it. Ben was extremely responsive, helpful with song ideas, and kept the entire event running smoothly and on time. Most importantly, he kept the dance floor packed all night long. We truly can’t thank him enough and would recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking for an amazing DJ.
We were absolutely thrilled with Bryan Basara as our DJ for our wedding this past November. We had two friends who had used him in the past and recommended him to us. Working with ...
Bryan felt absolutely seamless. The online portal was so easy to use and communication was prompt and reliable. He was so professional in day of coordination. We didn’t have one thing to worry about in regard to audio set up and timing throughout the day. Brian is truly amazing at what he does. We wanted a packed dance floor the whole night and our wishes were absolutely achieved! We could not say enough great things. We felt pricing was extremely reasonable compared to other quotes we saw. We even decided to add up lighting to our package last minute. 10/10 recommend!!!
We booked CenterStage as they were a preferred vendor for our venue, and from the minute we hopped on the phone with Sean we knew it was the right choice. From the smooth booking p...
rocess with Ben to our phone calls and planning sessions with Sean, everything was seamless and put us at ease that we were going to have an awesome evening!
Sean made sure we were thinking about all aspects of our night, and provided suggestions on certain timing for songs. He perfectly understood our vision for an epic dance party, and with a small “must play” list, on the night of, he was really able to read the crowd and keep people on the dancefloor all night long. Our guests keep asking us for the playlist from the night! The cherry on the top was he went above and beyond to help us film the ceremony using one of our iPhones on a tripod, since he was set up in the back of the ceremony. Thank you Sean again for bringing such incredible energy and being a part of the night of our lives!
Bryan was absolutely incredible and kept the party going all night long at our winter wedding! He was so attentive, easy to work with, and totally nailed the vibe we were going for...
. He read the room perfectly, knew exactly when to turn up the energy, and made sure the dance floor was never empty. From start to finish, the music was on point and the transitions were seamless. Our guests are still talking about how much fun they had — and that’s all thanks to Bryan. If you want a DJ who brings the fun and keeps everyone dancing, he’s your guy!
I booked CenterStage based on seeing them at a friend’s wedding and they did not disappoint! From booking with Ben to having Sean as our DJ, everything was easy, seamless and just ...
great! We danced all night long and had the best time! Sean really cared about what we wanted and helped us arrange some special moments on the dance floor with my mom and brothers. Fantastic team! Thank you all so much! You allowed us to be worry free and have the best day ever!
Center Stage and DJ Sean plus our Photo Booth made the entire night come together perfectly. I absolutely love to dance and Sean executed our songs and vision perfectly. We were on...
the dance floor EVERY moment unless I was eating. Absolutely use this group if you want to dance and have everything streamlined to your ideal wedding day experience.
It was easy to put in song requests and DJ Johnny B was great with getting people of all ages on the dance floor! He helped the day run smoothly, from the ceremony, to cocktail hou...
r and the reception. We also booked our photo booth with Center Stage and were happy with that! We got a guest book for people to put their photos in with messages and got to pick out our backdrop and design the photo strip. We would definitely recommend Center Stage and specifically Johnny B as your DJ! We booked him after he was at a friend’s wedding and we couldn’t stay off the dance floor all night!
We cannot recommend Center Stage - specifically DJ Johnny B - enough! The company was very responsive and great to work with and of course Johnny was amazing! He was so great to wo...
rk with and kept people on the dance floor all night long!! My family kept telling me that every time they tried to run to the bathroom or the bar, another great song came on and they had to stay on the dance floor. We got married back in June and everyone is still talking about how great the music was. Johnny brought the energy and made the day go by so smoothly.
For our wedding, we chose Center Stage Entertainment for our DJ and Photobooth. They were great and we’d definitely recommend them! Our DJ was Ben and he did a great job of mixing ...
in all of our song requests, MCing and managing the flow of music through the evening. The photobooth was also a lot of fun with a prop table and photos strips for people to bring home. We even got a photo book of strips to take which was a nice touch and like a second guestbook.
We cannot recommend Center Stage Entertainment enough! From our first call with Ben to working one on one with Bryan Basara it was all so seamless. Bryan was AMAZING!!! He listened...
to everything we spoke about in our call with him and curated the perfect night for us! Our dance floor was PACKED!! It felt like we were in a club back in 2016 and it was perfection!

great our DJ was!!
If you want a DJ who will keep the party going all night long, DJ Sean from Center Stage Entertainment is your guy! From the start, Sean was such a breeze to work with — easygoing,...
responsive, and genuinely fun. He immediately handled all the behind-the-scenes details with our venue, planner, and speech-givers without burdening me. Everything was covered, and I didn’t have to stress about a thing.
On the big day, Sean was the ultimate hype man. He kept the vibes high, the transitions smooth, and the dance floor full from start to finish. He even went out of his way to find me whenever one of my must-play songs was coming up so I wouldn’t miss a single special moment — something I appreciated so much.
He also helped us sift through some questionable song requests and somehow managed to keep everyone — from grandparents to college friends — happy and dancing. The music was perfectly on point, and the energy never dipped once. We didn’t want the night to end, and honestly, neither did our guests — everyone was raving about how fun the party was.
If you want a DJ who’s professional, organized, attentive, and amazing at reading the room, hire DJ Sean and Center Stage Entertainment. I cannot recommend them enough — they made our wedding an unforgettable night.
Bryan was excellent, 10/10 energy all night long! He played exactly what we asked for, was able to gauge if the audience was into it, and max everything seamless. Communication was...

ring dinner and then once we were on the dance floor, he had everyone out of their seats! We were so glad that we chose him as our DJ!
DJ Johnny came recommended by a friend, who is also a DJ-so you know he's good! Johnny had DJ'd their wedding. I was so excited when he was available to do our wedding. The process...
was very simple and easy to navigate. You can get as detailed as you want in terms of what to play and not to play. We thought we were going to be a challenging case because of how many genres we like- we wanted country, 90s grunge, some pop/dance and overall crowd pleasers. Johnny did not disappoint! I didn't want to get too into the details-just gave our main event songs and those genre requests and let him run with it. I also had this idea where I wanted the reception to start with everyone on the dancefloor and for us to come out for the big reveal and join the party that way. We weren't sure how it was going to go, but Johnny pulled it off flawlessly. The dancefloor stayed packed for the rest of the night! We received tons of compliments at how good our DJ was. I'd highly recommend Johnny and Center Stage Entertainment. We will surely be booking again for any of our future events that require a DJ!
Our DJ Ben absolutely killed it! We loved having Center Stage for our wedding. They arrived early to set up speakers for the ceremony, brought energy into the reception, and kept o...
ur group dancing all night! Request Ben Campbell!
Working with Center Stage was probably one of the easiest parts of our wedding and delivered by far the best reward! Ben MADE our wedding. I could cry just thinking about how much ...
fun we had on our dance floor, it was packed the whole time. His “let’s do it” attitude was motivating, comforting but he also wasn’t afraid to let me down easy—IE the “belt out in your car” songs I thought were “musts” but actually don’t translate well on the dance floor—I’m glad I listened to his advice. He was professional, fun, organized and understood our vibe. He read the room, got everyone—old and young dancing and no one ever felt or looked left out because of our music choices. It truly was the best party and the fact that people still talk about his playlist 7+ months later is a testament to that.
Book Center Stage, you will thank me later.
We saw Center Stage Entertainment was on our venues preferred vendor list and came here to check them out and saw glowing reviews for Bryan. After chatting with the CSE team we dec...
ided to book based on reviews, what their packages offered, and pricing. We specifically requested Bryan to be our DJ and they made it happen for us and he quickly reached out despite our wedding not taking place for almost a year and a half from booking. Bryan answered several of my questions as I bounced ideas off of him but was so reassuring that whatever I would pick he would be able to make it work. He saw my vision for different songs flowing together and executed every single one perfectly. I had a moments’ concern that our dance floor would die out when a glass broke on the dance floor but Bryan got everyone back out quickly and easily. I also got nervous it might die out when my husband and I left the dance floor for sunset photos as I’d heard that people go where the couple go and if we weren’t on the dance floor then we might lose people. That was NOT the case. We came back from sunset photos with a packed dance floor and we danced the night away with our loved ones of all ages. Bryan absolutely knocked it out of the park and I would recommend him for any event you have, any time. He even sent videos to us after the wedding that he had taken of the dance floor!. I am typically a very critical person but there is nothing Bryan could have done better he was flawless. Lastly, CSE worked with us to get a live saxophonist to accompany the music and our guests loved it.
Bryan has been a DJ for 2 of my cousins wedding so we automatically knew we were going to use him for our wedding, they are also the top vendor for our venue! Bryan kept everything...
dancing the entire night, and every song we wanted to use was used at the perfect time!!!
We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ than Johnny B for our wedding! From start to finish, he absolutely crushed it. The energy was incredible all night—he kept the dance floor pa...
cked and made sure every moment felt special. We’ve had so many guests tell us it was the most fun they’ve ever had at a wedding, and that’s in large part thanks to him. He read the room perfectly, played the perfect mix of songs, and made everything flow seamlessly. If you want your guests dancing all night and talking about your wedding for weeks, DJ Johnny B is the one. Highly, highly recommend!
Working with Center Stage Entertainment was a breeze! We loved the planning portal and the fact that we could add all of our songs ahead of time. DJ Sean McCaffrey was incredible! ...
He truly took our requests and merged them together so that everyone had something to enjoy! We received so many compliments from guests about how much they loved our DJ! Highly recommend booking with CSE if you want the dance floor to be packed!!!

Everything was personal to us and he communicated well with us in the week leading up to our wedding and during the event. We cannot recommend him enough!
