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 packed 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!!!
Steve at Center Stage Entertainment was the perfect DJ for our day! He ran the show like a true professional. He played everything we asked and filled in the blanks with the perfect mix to make all of our guests happy. His announcements as he moved the event along were confident, professional, and fun without being cheesy or obnoxious. 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!
Bryan was our DJ at our wedding and he did not disappoint! He helped a lot with any questions we had for special songs, and accommodated any edits to the songs/ remixes. Bryan kept the vibes up and was a great host in all our events on the day. Definitely recommend them. We also used them for our photo booth and we loved the scrapbook keepsake we got with it! Overall amazing company to work with.
DJ Pat made our wedding night! Music was our number one priority, and he knocked it out of the park. We got so many compliments on the music choices and transitions. I don't think people left the dance floor all night, and I was sore from dancing the next morning. He truly listened to our vision/requests and delivered!
We got married at Glen Foerd in Philly and our wedding DJ was Ben from Centerstage and he was INCREDIBLE. We knew he was the perfect fit after our first conversation with him and this was one of the easiest aspects of wedding planning thanks to Ben and Centerstage. He put us at ease, understood exactly what we were going for without over explanation, and gave us the best, funnest, most perfect wedding night. We got sooooo many compliments and rave reviews from our guests about how much FUN they had, how they'd never seen so many people on the dance floor, and how perfectly the music flowed with each aspect of the wedding. There was something for everyone and our guests loved it, from youngest to oldest. We added our special songs and favorite songs to their online planner, which Ben then looked over to confirm timing and details and proposed how he would layout the set list according to the evenings flow, which we okay'ed. It was flawless and required very little thought or stress on our part. The vibes were ON POINT. Highly recommend, wish we could relive this night over again!!
DJ Johnny absolutely crushed it at our wedding! From the very first song to the last dance, he had the perfect read on the room and kept the energy high all night long. The dance floor was packed from start to finish, and we’re still getting compliments from our guests about how amazing the music was.
Johnny has an incredible ability to keep the vibe going and knows exactly what to play to get everyone on their feet. He was enthusiastic, professional, and totally in tune with our vision and requests. You can tell he genuinely cares about making your day unforgettable.
Thank you so much, Johnny—you made our wedding night one to remember!
We cannot recommend DJ Johnny B enough! From our very first conversation, he was professional, responsive, and genuinely excited to be part of our big day. He took the time to understand our style, music preferences, and the vibe we were going for—and absolutely nailed it.
The dance floor was packed all night long, and every guest kept telling us how incredible the music was. Johnny B has an amazing ability to read the room, seamlessly blending songs that kept the energy high and everyone having fun. He also handled our ceremony and reception sound with ease—everything ran smoothly and sounded perfect!
We had DJ Pat Conlon as our DJ for our wedding and he was amazing! Any request that we needed that day, he was more than willing to help out and adjust. He kept the party going on the dance floor all night. He was an overall amazing person to work with! We are grateful that we had him as our DJ for not only the reception but the ceremony as well.
We had Bryan as our DJ and did absolutely amazing. He had a great communication throughout the process and was always able to answer our calls/ questions. He made the party come to life as the guests danced throughout the night. Thank you for making this night super memorable !
We booked center stage entertainment for our wedding and requested DJ Sean McCaffrey! Sean was the DJ at our friends wedding and we knew instantly that we also needed him for our special night. He was absolutely amazing! He read the crowd all night and kept the dance floor going and full! He truly made our day extra special and really took our vision and brought it to life. If you are in the search for a wedding DJ, Sean is your guy!
Bryan did an AMAZING job! He encapsulated the vibe we were going for perfectly while also playing what we asked him too. He played what we wanted with a mix of songs that completely went with our vibe and had our guests so excited!! You can never think of every good song to play but he did! He was so kind and easy to work with too. We had a couple specific requests and he totally followed through without us having to worry about it. I felt the price was good as well. Couldn’t be happier and couldn’t recommend him/his team enough! :)
I used Center Stage and specifically asked for DJ Johnny B and I could not be happier. Everything from booking with him, to planning, to our final phone call, and then the day of… everything was amazing. Guest of all ages said how wonderful the music was! We used him for the ceremony, cocktail hour and then the reception. I would HIGHLY recommend Johnny B and the company as a whole. He made my wedding so much fun and had the dance floor packed all evening! (Also, booked the photo booth through them- and there was no issues with that either.)
DJ Johnny Ballerini with center stage entertainment will literally go down in history with all our family and friends! He did our wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception and absolutely killed it! SO many people have been giving such compliments for how much they loved the music and DJ Johnny.
Sam and the entire Center Stage Entertainment team were a joy to work with. From our initial call to our wedding day, Center Stage made our reception dreams come to life! Sam was able to mix our favorite songs and created an incredible party atmosphere. If you want a DJ that you and your guests will remember for years to come, Center Stage Entertainment is your DJ!
Ben was such a pleasure to work with and was the best decision I made for my wedding! I am very picky with music and gave Ben my vision without sending him much of a playlist. He took all of my requests and made the most PERFECT wedding playlist for every part of our wedding night. Not only that, but he created the most epic after party set that had everyone partying on the dancing floor until after 1 am. We have received so many compliments about how fun our wedding was, and I truly credit it to our amazing MC and DJ. Thank you again Ben for everything!!!
Sean McCaffrey was our DJ and he was absolutely phenomenal! He made sure the dance floor was full all night and played exactly what we wanted! He was also attentive to detail and checked with us before he made any decisions which we appreciated. The company as a whole was great and very responsive to questions. In my opinion as a dancer, the DJ makes or breaks a wedding and he definitely made it! Thank you for everything Sean!
Everything Pat Conlon did for our daughter’s wedding on 8/2/24 was perfection. Pat’s attention to detail is spectacular. When we asked for dinner music to be played so that guests could easily have conversations, he made sure that the volume stayed low. He worked so well, also, with our live musicians (the quartet for the cocktail hour and string band to open the dance floor). And never once was the dance floor empty! The song selections had everyone moving all night long. Would highly recommend Pat and his assistant to anyone!
Center Stage was the perfect DJ service for us. They were professional and affordable. My husband and I have been to a lot of weddings in the past few years and the two we had the most fun at had Johnny B as the DJ. We knew we had to have him for our wedding! He played all the songs we asked for and threw in his own to keep our guests on the dance floor all night. We had the party of our lives!
I went with Center Stage Entertainment after both of my cousins did for their weddings and I remembered how much fun I had. I requested the same DJ- Bryan Basara and he absolutely did not disappoint. I had some pretty specific requests and he hit them all on the head. We wanted our wedding to be a party wed never forget and he nailed it. Two weeks later and people are still telling us how much fun they had on the dance floor. 10/10 recommend Bryan with Center Stage
We love DJ Bryan Basara!! We had the time of our lives at our wedding in Avalon this past weekend. I had so many of my guests tell me this was the funnest wedding they have been to in a while and that the playlist was so great!! We had everyone on the dance floor all night. I told Bryan from the beginning that the music was one of the most important things for my husband and I and that we wanted to be on the dance floor all night and that we were! He was super accommodating and was quick to hop on a phone call whenever I had some questions or wanted to go over some things last minute for the day of. The music blended so effortlessly and he picked the best songs to go with what we already requested. I had requested a specific song for my grandmother who has dementia and when he played it, she was on the dance floor and knew every word. That was a special memory among many from that night! We would recommend Bryan over and over!! Book him now !
We used Center Stage Entertainment for our 10/13/24 wedding and we couldn't be happier! Bryan Basara was our DJ and he completely understood our vision and absolutely killed it. Bryan and the owner Sam were both wonderful to work with and communication was great.
We also got uplighting and a photobooth through Center Stage Entertainment, both were wonderful enhancements to our reception. I would highly recommend this vendor to anybody!
Bryan DJed our wedding and was fantastic! Bryan was the DJ at a friend's wedding and we were so impressed we knew we wanted to hire him. He was very helpful answering our questions and providing advice leading up to the wedding. During the ceremony and reception, the audio quality was great and everyone could hear during the ceremony and announcements/speeches during the reception very clearly. He did a great job mixing the songs to provide smooth transitions. Bryan also did a great job of making sure the music appealed to both the older and younger crowd (per our request) at the wedding which we heard afterwards was much appreciated. Overall we have a very positive experience!
I coordinated a wedding a few years ago, and that is when I met Steve. I was very impressed with his professionalism and ability to read the room. He knew what kind of music to play to keep the party going all night. That's when I knew I wanted to call him if I ever got married.
Fast forward two years, and I got the opportunity to reach out to him. He responded and was very real from the beginning. He's a family guy who wanted to check his availability before he could commit.
I am SO glad he said yes. He was amazing. He touched base a few times before the wedding to make sure we were on the same page with the songs and schedule. He checked in frequently throughout the night to make sure we were okay. He was able to organize my crazy wedding party with ease while maintaining professionalism. He kept the guests busy while we were taking photos and had everyone going crazy on the dance floor all night long. Everyone had a blast, and it's all thanks to Steve.
Johnny B absolutely CRUSHED it! He was incredible from start to finish. He played every song we requested (and we had some pretty obscure requests). I couldn't be happier with how the night went and Johnny was a huge part of that. 10/10 highly recommend!
Steve from Center Stage was AMAZING. Our wedding felt like a nightclub, which was exactly what we wanted. Steve had everyone on the dance floor the entire night. He was so easy to work with and made sure our night went exactly how we pictured it. I truly cannot say enough good things about Steve & the entire team at Center Stage.
Sean from Center Stage Entertainment was a fantastic DJ for our wedding. He did a great job of keeping everyone on the dance floor, playing our requested songs, and checking in with us throughout the night. Highly recommend!
Johnny Ballerini and Center Stage Entertainment did a wonderful job making our wedding quite the party! My wife and our friends really love to dance all night and Johnny made sure that we did just that! He was able to ensure we had the instrumental versions of Wrecking Ball and Birds of a Feather for our ceremony, to cool vibes like John Legend for cocktail hour and dinner, to our pumped up dance floor with 2000's hits from the Disney Channel and beyond! We lived our Princess Diaries Fantasy while also getting down to current hits by Chappell Roan and Lady Gaga. We gave him the most obscure tastes in music and he made us the ultimate party playlist and performed it with hype vibes and an amazing presence. He was kind and fun to talk to during the planning process and always attentive to our needs and questions leading up to the wedding and even on the day! All of our guests were impressed with DJ Johnny and we will continue to recommend his talents and the team at Center Stage Entertainment!
If you want people to never leave your dance floor, then you grab Bryan Basara for your event. We could not have had more fun, and it all really comes down to the music. The true test of good music at a wedding is if guests continue to dance even if the bride and groom aren't on the dance floor, and the dance floor was completely full at all times. We didn't make it easy on him either, my wife and I like completely different genres: Harry Styles, Blink-182, House Music, Pop, Emo Rock. He blended it all together seamlessly. We wish we could relive the night 1000 times over, and every single one of those 1000 times would have Bryan on the sticks.
The photo booth was also AMAZING. Everyone had so much fun with it, and after the night was over having a thumb drive of all the pictures to look through was so much fun.
Center Stage is an all around class act, all services.
Johnny was our DJ for our wedding in August 2024. We were so happy with him. He played a good mix of music so that everyone of all ages was able to get up, dance, and have a great time at our wedding. He spoke with us on the phone prior to our big day to make sure everything went smoothly. He was friendly, professional, and fun. I would definitely recommend booking with this company.
Johnny was our DJ at Blue Heron Pines in August and went way above our expectations. The music selection was exactly what we wanted and what we discussed with him. Our guests were on the dance floor all night and are still talking about how much fun they had! Center Stage was great to work with and we could not have been happier with Johnny as our DJ!
Johnny was our DJ for our incredible wedding this past Friday at Bishop Farmstead! He really was amazing the whole night playing the perfect mix of the songs we wanted. Everyone kept talking about how good the music was afterwards and how much fun they had. Center Stage was great to work with throughout this process. I would highly recommend them and Johnny to anyone. Thank you so much again for making our day so special.
We use Johnny as our DJ this past weekend at Abbie Holmes Estate and I could not be any more pleased! He went above and beyond and kept all of our guests and ourselves more than happy! We had guests coming up to us asking for his information for their upcoming weddings because they were so amazing. I would recommend Johnny in a heartbeat!
Bryan was incredible! The ceremony music and transitions were flawless - our ceremony was outdoors and there were no issues - and the dance floor was alive all evening with hit after hit. It was actually hard for us to find a time to take a breather because we loved every song! Also, ending with "Fly Eagles Fly" was perfect. HIGHLY recommend if you're looking for a DJ!
DJ Steve did a FANTASTIC job at our wedding reception! We had a call beforehand to go over everything, and we requested some more off the beaten path songs and covers for our first dances. Steve got everything right, checked on us throughout the night, and kept the energy up all night long. Thank you Steve and Center Stage for a fabulous evening!!
It was great working with the Center Stage Entertainment team! DJ Sean was so awesome! From the timeline to the music, he made sure everything went according to plan. He made sure our officiant had everything he needed. He periodically checked in with us to confirm the plan before each part of the day, from ceremony to the end of the night. He even reminded us when we had the opportunity to walk to each table during reception. He played every song that we wanted. We even warned him about certain guests bringing up their own lists of songs, and he handled it very professionally. The photobooth pictures look awesome and the guests had so much fun with the props! We received a book at the end of the night with the guests' messages and a USB with all of the photos. My only complaint is that the photo booth software crashed a few times during the night, but the photo booth attendant was able to resolve it each time!
Sean was the best DJ ever. He did everything we asked of him and so much more. Sean made sure to check in with us throughout the night making sure we were having fun and happy with the music choice. Our guests never left the dance floor and it was all thanks to center stage. I cannot express enough how happy we were with Sean and we have told everyone we know to reach out. Thank you for making our biggest night of our lives so memorable.
Bryan is an incredible DJ. Bryan was professional, met with us throughout our process, and ensured the night fit our plan. Our plan was to maximize as much dance time as possible, and Bryan had people on the dance floor the whole night. He not only worked in the music we wanted, but incorporated additional music that kept the good times going. Center Stage is an amazing company to work with for whatever event you need!!
It was so great working with the Center Stage team! We interviewed multiple vendors and chose them shortly after getting engaged. They were excellent from beginning to end. They provided everything we asked for and more! Our DJ Sean was awesome and made our wedding perfect. Everyone was perfect from the music selection software, to the ceremony, to the reception. We would work with them again in a heartbeat.
Our experience with Center Stage Entertainment for our wedding was absolutely amazing from beginning to end. We worked with Bryan Basara and the professionalism, communication, and enthusiasm that he brought was more than I could’ve ever asked for in a DJ! Leading up to our wedding and even the day of he was incredibly helpful with directions, made everything flow smoothly and better than I could’ve imagined, and was genuinely a great person! We could not have asked for a better experience! Could not recommend Center Stage and Bryan enough!
We booked Center stage entertainment for our wedding and were thoroughly satisfied. It was so easy and convenient to work through their online portal and coordinate with our DJ Sam to ensure we had the right music at the right time. On the day of Sam and Justin hit every cue we had asked for from the ceremony entrance to the end of the night exit song. These guys were fun and professional without any of the over-the-top mc antics.
Center Stage was amazing to work with. Our DJ was Sean and he has a fun, laid back personality and he set us at ease right from the beginning. He made things super easy for us with all of our special song requests by sending him Spotify playlists we’d made. We also had a call with him a week before the wedding to review all of the details. He gave us guidance on a few things but also listened to what we wanted. He was perfect on the day of— read the room and played all the best songs to keep the party going. The dance floor was packed the whole night. Our guests demanded multiple encore songs! Sean also worked really well with our day-of coordinator and photographer when we needed to get people together for a picture, move them into the next room, etc. but he never hogged the mic— just stepped back and let people party!
Center Stage was a pleasure to work with! From start to finish, the communication was phenomenal. The client portal is very user friendly and has so many curated lists to help in choosing you wedding music. Our DJ was Sean and we are so thankful to have worked with him. Sean kept us well informed of how the reception would go and worked with us on everything we needed. Once the dance floor opened, it was full all night! We truly danced all night long. After seeing lots of friends and family after the wedding, they all commented on how amazing the music was and how much fun they had (we couldn’t agree more)! It was such a gift to have our wedding day go exactly as we wanted, and Sean was a huge part of that! I cannot recommend Center Stage enough!
DJ Sean McCaffrey was our wedding DJ at Durham Hill Farm and we couldn't be happier with his professionalism and talent. Center Stage Entertainment has a great system for choosing special songs and requests that made the experience so easy (and fun!) to curate our perfect wedding playlist. DJ Sean read through all of our requests and knew exactly when to fade into and cut songs so that everything flowed seamlessly. He also checked in throughout the wedding to make sure everything was going according to schedule and our requests were played at the appropriate time. He also read the crowd well and played songs according to how our guests responded to certain genres. We received so many compliments on how great the music was!
If you want to take your wedding to the next level you NEED to book Center Stage Entertainment! From light up monograms, to indoor sparklers, to Photo Booth packages, Center Stage has it all! Along with that, they have the nicest, coolest staff (especially DJ Sean McCaffrey)! Sean had our dance floor PACKED all night long with the perfect mix of songs that included everyone from every generation! They truly made our wedding so perfect and so stress free! We wish we could relive our night over and over again forever and that’s all thanks to Center Stage Entertainment and DJ Sean McCaffrey!!
If you’re looking for a wedding DJ who will make your special day even more amazing, look no further than Center Stage Entertainment. They are simply the best! Bryan Basara was our DJ for our June 2024 wedding and did a great job! He was accomodating, communicative, and professional. He made sure that everything ran smoothly on our day of and was a delightful MC for the evening. My brother sang during our ceremony and he was also available for a sound check before the cermony. I can't recommend Bryan enough!
DJ Bryan was amazing! Our friends and family were raving about the music. Everyone was on the dance floor. You won’t regret hiring them as your dj!
I had the pleasure of having Ben from CSE as my wedding DJ and he did a phenomenal job! I cannot express how many compliments we received on the playlist. Every single guest was on that dance floor and it was exactly what we wanted. Ben is so talented and I am so grateful he was our DJ on our wedding day and we worked with CSE.
In addition to the playlist, he was been unbelievably professional, patient, kind, and respectful. It was such a pleasure to work with this team and I cannot express how grateful I am.
Sam did an absolutely amazing job at our wedding. We received endless compliments from both our young and older guests which I think is pretty impressive. He kept the dance floor going and really read our group well and listened to our requests we provided him beforehand. He was so thoughtful the entire night and we couldn’t be happier with our choice as Sam for our dj! We also used their photobooth and it was a big hit and was busy all night!
I can not say enough good things about our experience with Center Stage Entertainment and DJ Johnny B. The music was amazing all night long and he had everyone dance. I’ve received so many compliments from my guest about the DJ as well. If I ever need a DJ again I know who to call.
