Amazing! So kind and easy to work with. They easily adapted to our wants and musical tastes. Everyone at our wedding had a wonderful time. I could not have asked for a better DJ to make our day go smoothly!
He was great and kept the party going. Very professional and highly recommend him!
DJ Stavros did an amazing job with our wedding. From the ceremony, to introductions, to cocktail hour and reception music - he nailed it.
I would 100% recommend him and hire him for another event.
We didn’t use a traditional venue and it was no problem. Sound was perfect and his professionalism was top notch.
Any questions?
DJ Stavros and his team were fantastic! The music and lights were great, and everything went smoothly from our first communication to the day of the event. We would definitely use him again!!!
DJ Stavros was the PERFECT DJ for our wedding! He was punctual, professional, and followed our timeline exactly! The reception music made for a night we will never forget! I’m a professional dancer so wanted to truly dance the night away, and he played the best mixes that got our entire crowd going- even the reserved family members! Couldn’t recommend him enough! Would hire him again in a heart beat.
From beginning to end, Crystal Dream was extremely professional and eager to meet our event needs. We hired this company to DJ our daughter’s Quinceanera and provide a photo booth experience. We were able to create a tailored music list with my daughter’s favorite songs and any other favorite genres. We customized our photo booth prints to fit my daughter’s theme. Crystal Dream worked with our coordinators and other vendors including the venue and samba dancers to ensure that the evening ran smoothly, the songs were on schedule and any introductions/announcements were presented correctly. The photo booth was a huge hit with every guest. After dinner, Stavros kept the dance floor full, including all of my daughter’s favorite music and incorporating some Latin hits for the adults. It’s expected that teens these days don’t really dance all that much but every single one was one the dance floor. Crystal Dream helped our party be a blast that left all my daughter’s friends impressed and inspired to have their own. I highly recommend them!
The best DJ, master of ceremony and Photo Booth! Stavros was an essential part of our beautiful wedding. He planned and even helped to organize the schedule of our wedding. The music was perfect, the quality of the sound was on point, he kept my guests entertained and on party mode. Everyone was having a blast with the Photo Booth as well. I highly recommend him and will definitely hire for future events. Thanks Stavros!
Crystal Dream Entertainment was a great addition to our New Years Eve Party. The DJ was absolutely fantastic and truly made the event a huge success. His team was professional, and set up seamlessly in multiple buildings and played great music! I especially appreciated how he seamlessly transitioned to kid-friendly music when the little ones wanted to take over the dance floor. It really showed his versatility and consideration for all our guests. And the professional phot booth was a major hit! The quality of the photos and the variety of props really added an extra level of fun to the party! The DJ's talent and professionalism did not go unnoticed and everyone had nothing but high praise for him and his team. I would highly recommend Crystal Dream Entertainment for any event, and I look forward to working with you again in the future!
We are so lucky to have found DJ Stavros and his team for our wedding! We got his lighting package along with his speaker setup and we could not envision our wedding without it. His setup is absolutely LEGIT! If you want your reception to look, sound, and feel like a professionally done experience, then we highly recommend his sound and lighting setup. Additionally, DJ Stavros generously offered to be our "MC" for the evening and he could not have done a better job with both the ceremony and reception. We are very thankful for his performance and efforts. We even had some special requirements and last minute adjustments that he was very accommodating for. Before you book with anyone else, I highly recommend hopping on a call with DJ Stavros as he is very easy to vibe with and check out some of his pictures or videos as the ambiance he can bring to a wedding or party is really exceptional!
I highly recommend DJ Stravos. His communication, professionalism, and ability to adapt to my guest was on point. All my guest were dancing and had a blast. We were able to hear the music, speeches, and announcements loud and clear. I highly highly recommended Crystal Dream Entertainment. Definitely a night that I will always remember forever.
DJ Stavros did an amazing job at our wedding! He was professional and so easy to work with. Thanks for accommodating our request. You kept the guests and myself dancing all night long. Phenomenal job!
DJ Stavros and his team were great to work with! As a bride it was reassuring knowing he was flexible to accommodate change. We almost did not have sound at the ceremony location.. due to no power. He made it work & everything was perfect. He was great with our guest even showing ones with interest what he does behind the scenes. Everyone enjoyed the music & hands down it was worth the price. Do the extra photobooth option I PROMISE you will NOT regret it! The photos are digital in addition to print outs, so we were able to obtain all pictures 😍
I can highly recommend DJ Stravos for any type of wedding. He is very easy to work with and provided us with great insight and recommendations. The equipment is excellent and anyone should book the additional lighting and photobooth... trust me its worth it. Our guests keep complementing the service and how much fun they had in the photobooth.
Stavros was very professional and easy to work with. He made our wedding reception great by playing fantastic music, but more importantly, he was able to read the room and tailored his music to what we liked. The lighting he provided created a party atmosphere and changed the ambiance of the room. I would highly recommend.
Stavros attended the photobooth at our wedding, and did an amazing job! All of the props were a big hit, and we got the digital prints of all the photos within a couple days. The photobooth was an absolute must have!
Stavros was great to work with! He kept people on the dance floor all night. Played every song we asked him too. Communication with him was easy and he was always quick to respond.
We had Stavros DJ our wedding in March and as a type A bride I gave him way too many details and instructions but he handled every single direction and exceeded our expectations! He was able to beautifully weave together music from both of our cultures and kept the crowd dancing all night. He was amazing at making announcements & keeping the energy up. If you need a DJ book Crystal Dreams! You won’t regret it
I can’t thank Stavros enough for such an amazing wedding reception. He requires few conversations leading up to the day of the reception. He made sure to include all of our requested songs and was very flexible when there were requests from guests or sudden changes from us. He made our reception perfect from beginning to end. If you’re looking for a professional MC and DJ this is the best you could ever find!
I've been to a lot of weddings. Some were great and some were ok. My wife and I wanted a fun and great wedding and I can tell you Stavros and his team made it happen. People at the wedding really enjoyed the music selection. We gave Stavros a list of music we wanted to hear and the type of music we wanted to listen to. He delivered. We danced all night. The lighting looked amazing. The photo booth was a hit so many great pictures. I definitely will hire Crystal Dream Entertainment again. Thanks again for a wonderful time.
Stravos did a great job at the ceremony and reception and kept the party going. Definitely would recommend!
Ceremony services went smooth and without a hitch. Stavros came to us once trying to find an outlet well before the ceremony but other than that never bothered us the entire day. He was so easy to work with. The music sounded great and Stavros was very professional and got the party going. We should have had a larger dance floor because Stavros had everyone in the room on their feet.
DJ Starvos was amazing! We were so pleased with his work! Our ceremony was outdoors and he provided microphones and speakers so everyone could hear our officiant and our vows! Our reception was just as wonderful, he did great with introductions and we had no issues at all with our important dance songs or our reception! Also, the photo booth was a great investment and all of our guests LOVED it! Highly recommend using Crystal Dream Entertainment for your wedding!
DJ Stavros was the perfect person to DJ our reception! We got his information from a friend and was instantly impressed with his professional and knowledge in our initial meeting. Throughout the wedding planning process, he was very responsive to emails which is a bride's dream!
During the reception, our guests came up to us to rave about how amazing our DJ was. His playlist was carefully thought out and a representation of what we discussed in our meeting. From Mr. Brightside to Zombie Nation (Go PSU!), he engaged everyone on the dance floor. I cannot recommend DJ Stavros enough! The dance portion of our reception was the most important part of our day and he absolutely crushed it!!!
Dancing all night long!! Crystal Dream Entertainment LLC had our guests dancing up a storm! DJ Stavros provided high quality sound with an incredible light show that truly set the mood for the entire wedding event. From Ceremony tracks to reception and into the after party, we were hyped up! We wanted a Greek, Latin, & American mix and DJ Stavros delivered! All announcements and song intros were done as requested without error in pronunciation which added the cherry on top! We also added the fog machine and confetti cannon, which were totally worth it and huge crowd favorites!
Thank you for such a memorable experience! You were fun and easy to work with without a doubt, and hoping we can book another event together in the future!
❤️The Benitez Family
Was extremely pleased with the service! I hired Stavros to do 360 booth and photo booth for my 20 Aug wedding. It was a hit and all my guest absolutely loved it! He was very professional, kind, well prepared and on time. If I could give him more stars I would. I highly recommend using him for all his services and definitely plan to use his services again. Thanks Stavros for an amazing job!
We used Crystal Dream Entertainment for a Preschool Event. They were fantastic to work with! Booking was easy, they showed up early to set up and communicated with us the entire time. The music was great and they kept our families engaged! We will definitely use them again!
I don't have a lot of room to write this review so I will try to be as succinct as possible while still singing all its praises. I got married on 8.6.22 and we booked Crystal Dream. First and foremost I would absolutely recommend Crystal Dream to everyone. We had them for both Ceremony and Reception. The ceremony was beautiful. The music was perfect, very subtle and yet created a wonderful atmosphere. The microphones and sound systems were fantastic. We had around 200 guests and everyone could hear the officiant and us perfectly.
When announced to the reception DJ Stavros really took the time to make sure every name was pronounced correctly and gave each member of the bridal party the proper time for each introduction. He was a fantastic MC and helped move the reception schedule smoothly. From entrances, to dances, to speeches, to opening up the dance floor, all seamless transitions. The lights, the music, the sound system, the photo booth, everything was top notch and well worth the money. Our wedding was both a Jewish and Hispanic wedding and DJ Stavros did an AMAZING job integrating both the Hora and Latin music into the mix. We were able to give suggestions but most of the music choices were all him and I am very glad we trusted him.
His process is incredibly easy, it only took a few meetings with him and he was able to provide a wonderful night. Our guests are still raving about the music and the dancing.
In summary, the reception and ceremony were both handled flawlessly. Everyone at Crystal was incredibly professional. The sound system, lights, dj booth and photo booth were all incredible quality and well worth the price. If anyone is looking for a good DJ, Crystal Dream Entertainment is a 10/10 would recommend from me.
Crystal Dream Entertainment does not disappoint, I booked them last minute and they did everything to help me!! The pictures came out amazing too!! The little mask/costumes were a lot of fun too!! 10/10 recommend
DJ Stavros is best DJ! We booked him for our Pakistani-American fusion and given his multi-cultural experience he was the best fit for us. DJ Stavros met with us a few times to understand what kind of music and ambiance to create for our wedding. He worked closely with all of our wedding vendors to ensure a smooth wedding day. DJ Stavros was professional, and the guest danced the entire reception! Our guest raved about the music and loved how he brought South Asian and American music together. We loved the photobooth with the fun props and changing LED lights with the music. Our guest had a time of their lives!
Stavros absolutely killed it during our wedding! He was extremely easy to work with, and was even able to accommodate our request for some Chinese music we wanted, as well as some last minute changes to the introductions.
His sound and lighting systems were top notch which really set a fantastic ambiance for dancing. We also included his photobooth in our package, and the photos that came out of it were super fun! He had a ton of props, the photos were great quality and we even got a digital copy of all the photos after the event!
We got multiple compliments on the set he played during the reception and everyone was on the floor dancing (even the grandmas). I would recommend Stavros to anyone looking for a great DJ and announcer for their wedding!
DJ Stavros was the best leading up to the big day and on the day itself! He created a reasonable payment plan for my husband and I that was easy to keep up with. The day of was awesome! The only thing was that our first dance song was a different version than we anticipated, but only my husband and I knew and it was the same song just a different version so it really didn't matter too much. The music throughout the night was lively and kept up with what our guests wanted to hear! He was easy to work with and very professional, I would certainly recommend them to anyone in the area!
DJ Stavros did a phenomenal job at our April 2022 wedding.
We hired him to do sound and music for the ceremony and sound, music, and lighting for the reception. We could not be more pleased we hired him. He was super easy to work with and to talk to, and he had super helpful tips on how to keep the wedding vibe fun.
The ceremony went smoothly (music, mics, and the like). DJ Stavros adhered perfectly to our music selections. The reception lighting was amazing, and DJ Stavros flawlessly executed all our pre-selected song choices and our unique anniversary dance.
The absolute best part of hiring DJ Stavros is that he has a great instinct for keeping the dance floor going. He does not just sit back and go into playlist mode but, instead, actively engages and encourages the energy in the room through song selection and strategic mixing of songs. He absolutely nailed the vibe we were going for, the music genres we wanted, and he kept the dance floor going all the way through until the end.
I highly recommend hiring DJ Stavros and his team.
I would highly recommend Crystal Dream Entertainment with DJ Stavros for any event you want great entertainment. DJ Stavros was professional, arriving Early to set up equipment and very accommodating with playlists and requests. He has a photobooth for guest to have extra fun and all the accessories that go with it. The special lighting really adds to the fun and entices everyone to hit the dance floor. Additionally, DJ Stavros was on point with his introductions and announcements. All of our guests really enjoyed how he made the night very special. I would definitely hire him again in the future.
DJ Stavros met all of our expectations and was easy to work with. His pre-wedding worksheet covers everything if you have any questions of what you need to cover. He was also accommodating to some unique aspects to our big day. On the day of, a simple 5 min meeting before was all he needed to get our day going. He clarified any areas that we missed in order to make sure our day was perfect. Once the reception hit, DJ Stavros had our dance floor packed the whole night. The music selection and transitions were great. If you're reading this review, you can stop your search because you have found the DJ for your event.
DJ Stavros was fantastic for our New Year’s Wedding!! He was able to find that delicate balance between playing the music that we love as a couple, and music that would keep the crowd on the dance floor—and everyone definitely stayed on the dance floor! He was also really thoughtful in his approach – he played our entrance song at the right moment when the song hit its peak; and we didn’t want to play the full songs for the first dance and father/daughter dances – DJ Stavros was able to read us and stopped the songs at the right moment without it feeling like there was an abrupt stop. DJ Stavros also proactively got a chair for the father of the bride for his speech, which was incredibly thoughtful. We also had family members who played music during our ceremony – DJ Stavros was incredibly accommodating with equipment for the ceremony. I would HIGHLY recommend his confetti canyons!! DJ Stavros set them off at midnight and they were a hit! It really made NYE. His song choices are really spot on – our guests talked about what a great DJ he was even weeks after the wedding! He made sure our wedding was completely entertaining and enjoyable for all guests. Finally, DJ Stavros surprised us with a YouTube video of dancing at our wedding – it was really lovely and sincerely the icing on the cake! We so appreciate it. It is worth noting that we had to reschedule our wedding due to COVID, and DJ Stavros was incredibly accommodating when we had to change our wedding date. Thank you, DJ Stavros! It was sincerely a pleasure having you as part of our day!!
Stavros did an amazing good with a photobooth for our cultural event at the University of Maryland. He set up the equipment before our event started, and was extremely cooperative and proficient in managing the photobooth. The digital photos were sent to us the next day, and our guests absolutely loved the prints, props and overall experience. I highly recommend Crystal Dream Events and will definitely have them back at any future events.
DJ Stavros was top of the line!!! What an amazing DJ! My wife and I highly recommend him to anyone having an event or wedding!!! We purchased the elegant package for our wedding and it did not disappoint!! The lighting was awesome and the music was amazing! We also ordered a photo booth which our guests highly enjoyed! We also got dancing on the clouds which was a memory we will never forget! He was awesome and made our dream wedding happen! He was almost super easy to work with and accommodated on the spot! Thanks so much! We really appreciate your services!
Look no further if you are looking for the best party you’ve ever been to! DJ Stavros professionalism and expertise in this industry is the best you can ever ask for. Even the aesthetics were the best I had ever seen, from the uplighting that made our venue the most magical place I’ve ever seen to our custom monogram he displayed on two massive TVs that he also displayed pictures of us on throughout our cocktail hour! The microphones were just the right volume as well. He had the best personality for our unique wedding party intros, and was able to find a song in seconds when there was a slight mishap during the father/daughter dance, which made for amazing pictures! All of our guests said it was the best and most fun wedding they had ever been to. I would 10/10 hire Stavros again and thank him for making our wedding the best and most memorable day of our lives!!!
Stavros was the best!! We were so lucky to have him and his two assists at our wedding. All the audio during the ceremony perfect, the uplighting was beautiful, the equipment was all placed so that nobody noticed there was a bunch of tech sprinkled throughout the venue, and best of all, Stavros as a DJ was more than we could have asked for. He knew exactly how to pair our favorite songs with a mix of songs that all of our guests would enjoy. We mentioned we wanted a bit of a Latin flare as we had many Latin family members joining us and he knew exactly what to do! I have learned that though there are many things to worry about when planning a wedding, there is absolutely no need to worry with Stavros. It was very easy to trust him to do a wonderful job- he was personable, professional, and considerate. We are recommending him to everyone we know. Thank you so so so much, Stavros!!!
Crystal Dream Events and DJ Stravos performed amazingly for our wedding.
We chose him because we went to another one of our friends’ weddings and we were blown away by how good he was so when it came time for our nuptials we knew where to look. Stravo’s sound system is top-notch and sounds crystal clear. Wedding attendees were recording items with their iPhones the sound was incredible (surprising for even a phone!).
The reception was perfect, we provided a timeline of events, however, Stravos was able to adapt to the changes that undoubtedly happen at all weddings. Everything went very smoothly and we didn’t have any issues with him or his team. They were able to do set up very quickly as our venue did not allow us much setup time due to an afternoon event. His team and he was able to set up quickly and make everything look amazing. The lighting, the sounds system, his MC’ing, and most importantly of all his expert mixing of the music!
He was a bit pricier than other DJ we did look at however his professionalism, his setup, and his raw DJ talent made it worth it! Various wedding attendees after the wedding mentioned to my spouse and me how good the DJ was!
Stravos was always professional, punctual, and easy to work with, in all aspects of the event and contract. I definitely recommend him for a wedding DJ and would go to his shows if he had an event at a club.
Vendor arrived 2 hours before the wedding for setup. He was professionally dressed in a suit. Communicated very well through email and in person to hash out details. Played everything requested. Lighting was amazing and the cloud dance was worth the money. Definitely would hire again for a future event!
DJ Stavros was absolutely amazing for our wedding. He was patient with us during the planning process, as my (now) wife was very particular about her vision, and Stavros absolutely delivered on the day. He prepared perfect custom mixes for special moments, and was just as passionate as we were about using the right version of the right song at the right moment to create a wonderful environment. Even days after our wedding, guests are telling us it was the best wedding they've ever been to, and DJ Stavros was a huge part of that.
DJ Stavros was amazing. Everyone at the wedding commented on how good our DJ was. From the very beginning, DJ Stavros did an incredible job being the MC, warmly welcoming our guests and ensuring that the flow of the night was smooth and without any hiccups. He seamlessly transitioned from the dinner to the party and with the lighting package, he really set the tone for a fun night. We booked the photo booth and could not recommend it more. The guest loved it and we will always cherish the photos from that night. From now on, we refuse to attend any weddings without a photo booth and spend our evenings coming up with potential poses for future weddings. DJ Stavros was able to take requests, but also could read the room to make sure the dance floor stayed busy.
BEST DJ EVER!!! I poured over reviews and advice from my fellow brides and they had my back, so here I am! This is what worked for me, I hope it can help you too.
Music: Picked a song from a YouTube home artist for the ceremony and it sounded beautifully! Cocktail Hour, you won't be there, but he's got you for that too. I can tell you about the reception party, and it. was. popping. By the end of the night, our feet were basically shredded, but no one complained.
Lights: You're going to want to get these, honey. Trust. Before the wedding, I didn't know what "uplighting" even meant, but after seeing the pictures and video, I'm so glad I trusted the reviews and went with the works.
Photobooth: Where most have substandard props, this guy brings the real thing. All of the props were of substantial quality.
We got to choose the background and frame according to our theme (there are many!). Your photographer may take weeks to deliver your photos, but we got our photobooth shots the very next day!
Emcee: I POURED over reviews and videos on social media for the perfect MC and noticed Stavros gets SO excited about his client's events, that brought it home for me. He has a a solid presence with a crowd, which I loved!
Communication: Always answered my emails/ text requests... I had many. Stavros was always patient and professional with me. I even sent a last minute request the day before (my bad)!!! It was no problem at all.
Overall Experience: Super professional and organized before, during, and after the event. On the day of, Par-tay!! We all danced the night away. From our first dance to the very last! We also got their photobooth and cool lights for the party and it was worth it! Our guests loved the silly fun and we all had a blast! I had a wonderful experience and recommend Stavros and his team for all of your events!
Working with Stavros and Crystal Dream Entertainment was an absolute pleasure! Everything we asked for, even at the last minute, was done completely and without question. Stavros brought was was clearly extensive experience to add a sense of calm and order to our hectic event. We would recommend him in a heartbeat!
I almost can't put into words how amazing DJ Stavros was at my wedding. The sound system was perfectly set up for the ceremony and the music during cocktail hour and dinner was low enough that everyone could enjoy their conversations. He was able to flawlessly adjust when we had some last-minute changes with who was giving speeches. Where Stavros really shined was once the party started - his setlist was amazing and the dance floor was crowded from the first song to the last. My husband is Indian and Stavros was able to incorporate Indian music into the dance music with some really cool mashups. All of our guests had a great time and so many of them have told us we had the best wedding DJ they've ever heard. Highly recommend hiring Stavros for your wedding!
We recently rented a photo booth from Crystal Entertainment for our daughter’s wedding. It was money well spent. Everyone had so much fun taking pictures. They had tons of props and everything looked brand new. They gave out numerous copies of photos to our guest. We also received all the digital photos 2 days after the wedding. We got such a laugh going through all of the pictures. I highly recommend using them for your wedding!
DJ Stavros was absolutely amazing and an integral part for our wedding. Up until 30 minutes prior to our ceremony it poured. We were unsure if we’d have an outside ceremony like I envisioned. We made the decision and he had everything needed set up. At our venue, the set up was beautiful. Lights were amazing, the dance floor looked fantastic! He was there for all of our needs, had amazing transitions from one song to another. We had numerous people tell us how amazing our DJ was! Thank you again!!!
If you need a DJ for your ceremony and reception, book DJ Stavros right away! Everything was perfect for my daughter's wedding! Ceremony went off without a hitch, music was perfect, people in the back could hear the officiant and the vows clearly. During cocktail hour and dinner, music was low enough so people could talk. Announcement of the bridal party was correct (DJ Stavros spoke to everyone prior to announcements to make sure he was saying their names correctly). Then the PARTY started. A great DJ gets everyone out on the dance floor and that is exactly what happened. The younger generation was amazed at how much the "older" generation was out dancing. The bride and groom wanted a "hyped up" wedding reception and that is exactly what they got! From the moment we booked DJ Stavros he was professional and responded to every concern and question we had. He was very accommodating and made everything seem seamless even with some restrictions the venue was putting on us. He is worth every penny and his rates are very reasonable.
Is it possible to give a 10 star rating??? DJ Stavros and Crystal Dream Entertainment put on one hell of a wedding for us! Stavros was extremely professional, took care of business without hesitating, and had crowds on the dance floor at all times. His music was exactly what I had asked for. He was so kind and fun. His services were the best I’d ever received! The up lights he provided were phenomenal and really got the party pumping. Stavros was punctual and respectful. His sound system and microphone were very clear and at perfect volume for all in the room to hear. If you are questioning something to splurge on for your wedding, this is 100% without a doubt the way to go. I will absolutely be recommending Crystal Dream Entertainment and DJ Stavros to all of my friends and family, and will use them for any future events that I may have!
Finding a DJ can be extremely overwhelming, especially in the DC area where there are so many great vendors. I was having a hard time finding a DJ for our wedding when a friend of mine recommended Stavros and his team with Crystal Dream Entertainment.
Stavros is amazing to work with. He is so calm and collected, which is exactly what you need when planning a wedding - it can be a stressful time! Before the wedding, he sends a questionnaire out to get to know you and your music likes. My husband and I have very different taste in music, and Stavros was able to accommodate it perfectly.
Stavros also provided music for our ceremony and it was beautiful. He set up everything at the venue without a hitch, and it looked great. We did a package with lighting and a photobooth, and it was a HUGE hit!! I received so many compliments on the photo booth the night of our wedding.
I would highly recommend Stavros to play at your wedding or event. Our reception was at least two hours long, and I don't think my husband ever left the dance floor! Our favorite was definitely Blink-182 and some classic rock, mixed in with top hits. Crystal Dream Entertainment helped make our wedding everything I imagined.
Crystal Dream Events (CDE) was a pleasure to work with and helped make our wedding day very special. We would easily recommend them. CDE provided the photobooth, photo props, up lighting, dance floor party lights, microphone/ PA systems, full DJ services, announcer (MC) services, and brought great energy to our wedding. CDE made it very easy to work with them by being very responsive, friendly, and providing a clear breakdown of their available services. As a DJ, CDE adapts and plays music that best responded with the party. He knows how to read the mood/energy to help keep the party going. They accommodated our requests (even the last-minute ones) professionally and well, for example, at the last minute we needed traditional Korean music to be played in the background during the Korean ceremony and it was no problem. CDE was one of the first vendors to arrive, and the last ones to leave. They are hardworking, and we and our guests loved it. Thank you Stavros and Russ!
Outstanding reception in part due to DJ Stavros. Received a lot of positive and unsolicited feedback from guests on how impressed they were with the DJ. Some commented that they started following him on InstaGram during the reception. Guests also complimented the music selections. Very easy to work with. Received great value for the cost. Very reasonable prices with great quality service. The uplighting and totem pole lighting features, in sync with the music created an awesome party-like atmosphere in the ballroom. Announcements/introductions were spot on - exactly what we requested. With a last minute extension of the reception, the professional photographers had already left for the evening. DJ Stavros took a few videos on his own of a few important moments that we would have missed had he not stepped in. Would definitely recommend his services to others.
DJ Stavros was recommended to me by my venue, and absolutely DELIVERED! From cocktail hour to the last private dance as bride and groom, he maintained a perfect atmosphere. The music was amazing and he knew how to keep the dance floor going - the experience was worth every single penny we paid for his services!
During planning he was incredibly helpful, accommodating, and flexible with any questions or ideas we had for our reception. A total professional and enjoyable to work with. He had amazing attention to detail that made the night go smoothly and completely unforgettable. We’d absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding DJ; you won’t be disappointed!!!
We hired Stavros because of his high ratings on the Knot and we are very happy we did. We used Crystal Dream for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. Stavros was great with his communication, always responding to my questions about the music. He coordinated the songs we wanted to use and was able to help trim them down to make them work best. We didn’t really know what kind of dance music we wanted at the reception and even with little direction, it turned out amazing. We had so many compliments asking if we had given him a playlist… but it was all him. The music and microphones were clear and the right volume throughout, along with the introductions/announcements, which Stavros walked through with us in detail before the wedding. 100% worth the price for peace of mind on your big day! I highly recommend him!
DJ Kostas gave us the "kefi"! (greek term for passion). The way he adjusted the music and read the room really made it that no one in that room could stay off the dancefloor. Both DJ Kostas and DJ Stavros were amazing to work with, especially with adjusting schedules during covid. Greatly appreciate it, euxaristoume!
I am completely sold that this is the best deal on a DJ that you will find in the DMV area! I am able to say this with the perspective of being a guest at Stone Tower Winery in Leesburg and a bride at Airlie in Warrenton. Stavros first led the reception at my sister's wedding with dj/lighting services and I noticed the music selection had everyone on the dance floor - both young and old! The range of music selection was truly the best for catering to all audiences.
Fast forward to time to plan my own wedding, Stavros is the one vendor I knew I wanted to use from previous experience. While looking into packages, I learned Crystal Dream also provides photo booth services added on to packages for an unbeatable price for such high quality services! I cannot emphasize enough that the best part about Crystal Dream Entertainment is the packages made to best fit any couple's needs for the best price on the market - while completely uncompromising the quality of every service offered from music to lighting to guiding the energy and timeline of the reception , to photo booth. All excellent!
I also used Crystal Dream for some music and a lot of equipment during my ceremony. My sister and friends are wonderfully musically talented and Stavros collaborated with my sister seamlessly to provide everything needed for her and others to sing, play instruments, etc. live - as well as mics for those speaking during the ceremony. The speakers also played the song my bridal party and I walked down the aisle to. The volume and clarity of everything live and played was beautiful.
I was never worried about a single detail. Stavros arrived extremely early on wedding day to ensure everything for each location would be set up with plenty of time to spare. I had even placed the photo booth in a spot that may not have been the best for flow of people in my diagram without seeing how things were coming to life on the day of - and with more knowledge of these details than I - Crystal Dream Entertainment worked with my day-of coordinator to suggest a much better placement. I never had to worry and everything turned out much better than I could ever have imagined. I also had an extensive list of personal song requests that were communicated ahead of time and accommodated beautifully! The survey completed before the wedding helped me to think of every music-related detail necessary with ease.
At the end of the day, the dance floor was full all night, the photo booth was full all night and everyone raved about what a spectacular time they had. What also blew away both my friends and I was that the day after the wedding, Crystal Dream Entertainment already had short highlight clips of the fun we had at the reception made and posted to social media for us to watch, share, and relive the day. I had given previous consent to filming/sharing and this was no extra charge - but came in so handy since my photographer/videographer coverage ended after special dances, etc. Our friends/family all loved everything about what Crystal Dream Entertainment brought to the table and I believe I will be attending even more local weddings where they are involved in the future because of the impression made!
DJ Stavros was amazing! He got to know our style and made an amazing playlist. Our ceremony went smoothly and he did a great job introducing our bridal party. He played well off the dancing guests and accommodated their song requests. Stavros was easy to work with and many of our guests commented on how great he was. If you are looking for a dj, I could not recommend him enough! You can't go wrong with DJ Stavros!
I am so thankful for the wonderful job Cristal Dream Entertainment did the day of my wedding. I like that they were really early to set up, therefore also was able to talk about last minute changes and request songs, so easy to talk to, very respectful, friendly, very professional. The announcements were made accordingly as planned, even after making last minute changes (sorry about this, my fault). Music was great, sound was very clear, volume just great during the outside ceremony as well as inside during the reception and the set up of the lights around the venue just perfect and the most important the price well worth it. I definitely recommend Crystal Entertainment for any events. Thank you very much!
Dj Stavro and Dj Kosta with crystal dream entertainment were awesome and made our wedding day so memorable!
From the very beginning the responsiveness was on point any time I had a question I was getting them answered so quickly.
They did a great job on the lighting in the venue as well and the photo booth they provided was such a hit with our guests!
We had a mix of different music requests from greek / latin / English and they did a great job incorporating everything.
We couldn’t have asked for a better day!
Thank you guys ❤️
The DJ and his crew are very professional. Their setup for the lights, speaker and DJ station are very neat and organized. I love how they set up the Karaoke station per my special request one week before the wedding day. Our guests told us how much they enjoyed singing during the reception. The Karaoke was the big hit for your guests.
The best part is the dancing time, we preferred playing 2012-2014 dancing club songs. The DJ knew what we wanted and he lit it up. All the guests could not leave the dancing floor and kept dancing. They told me how they missed those days and how good the DJ changed this song to the other song. We didn't have to request to change any songs because they all very playing very good.
It is worth the money to hire DJ Steve for your wedding. His services are the best based on many weddings that I went to.
My sister is planning to ask Steve to be her DJ on her wedding whenever she finds the right date because she knows who can lit the party up!
Good job, DJ Steve!
Very responsive with emails and texts, makes sure you get the best service for your money, and has a lot of great add ons you can pick from.
From the very first email to the day of my wedding, DJ Stavros was there to make the planning super easy! He set up a call soon after I emailed to explain all the amazing features they have.
(I highly recommend getting the photo booth, it was a huge hit)
When it was close to our wedding he sent over an info sheet with the specifics: names of the wedding party, requested songs, type of music you want played, etc...
Overall, I'm super happy with how everything turned out and how professional he was. DJ Stavros is worth every penny!!
DJ Stavros was a fantastic addition to our wedding day. I can’t picture a more perfect team to execute our special day. From perfectly setting up mics, speakers, tables, and everything it was so perfect. Our ceremony and reception were both outside and he was able to accommodate everything. DJ Stavros rolled with all of our last minute changes and wants (we introduced the parties, not him) and he was AMAZING!! Our guests were partying from the very beginning till the end of the night!! He was so communicative and made sure every last detail was covered. I could not recommend DJ Stavros any more - you need him. I loved his sense of humor and way he commanded the room! Thank you Stavros, for an unforgettable night!
Crystal Dream Events was the right choice for our wedding! They are very responsive and easy to book. DJ Stavros was wonderful! He had meetings with us several times and had an amazing questionnaire, so he knew our wedding backwards and forwards before our big day. Our ceremony was outside on a windy December day and the ceremony sound, with mics, was flawless. Then when it came to the receptions, (we had two because of the COVID restrictions) DJ Stavros went through the grand entrances twice and even the first dance two times, one for each group. He accommodated a last-minute request by my grandfather to have a special dance with the bride and our 3-year-old niece’s requests for songs she could twirl to. He was able to provide us two separate feels, with the first being “family friendly” for guests ranging from 3 to 88 years old, then a more “adult fun” feel for the second with guests in their late 20s – 40s, which was exactly what we asked for! The lighting really set the ambiance and the sound was spot on throughout the day and night. He was so flexible and professional; we cannot recommend him enough.
DJ Stavros with Crystal Dream Entertainment was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. He was extremely responsive when we were looking to book a DJ and on the big day his professionalism and talent was beyond our expectations.
He had fantastic equipment that really complimented our space. We had many compliments that our ceremony went great because Stavros provided microphones so people could actually hear the music and our vows (our ceremony was outside).
Throughout the night Stavros was always on point. He kept track of both myself and my husband so that we didn't miss any special songs without being overbearing. If there was something he wasn't sure of he was sure to ask our wedding coordinator or find us directly.
Most importantly, though, Stavros' music kept our guests on the dance floor and the perfect vibe all night long. He made sure to follow our genre requests while taking his own professional liberty to fill in between. One of the most memorable moments of the day was his ability to accommodated our unusual ceremony music (anime theme songs from YouTube).
Bottom line, definitely consider DJ Stavros and Crystal Dream Entertainment for your DJ/music needs. It won't be a disappointment.
Wow- what a fun night! We found DJ Stravos and selected him because we wanted mostly 90/00s pop, hip hop, rap, R&B and man did he deliver! It was a PARTY all night and dance floor was always busy. We did the add on photo booth and it was a huge hit! (I highly recommend!!!) our guests loved it and the props/backdrop were wonderful and looked really nice and they were not cheap! I would highly recommend for you reception if you want a fun, popping party! 🥳
DJ Stavros did an excellent job at our wedding! Our original date was originally April 26th but it had to be moved due to COVID. Stavros was super accommodating and made the transition so easy. My Greek dad was very concerned about the music and was particular on the entrances but Stavros took everything in stride and did a wonderful job! He doubled checked with myself, my husband, and my dad on the songs, order of speeches, etc. He did a great mix of oldies and new music so people of all ages were on the dance floor! We decided to end the reception a little early and Stavros was super accommodating and made the announcement. Thank you Stavros for being great during this process! If you want a DJ that’s thorough and super accommodating, he’s your man!
Stravos was wonderful! I found his company on Bark.com and he immediately reached out. Clear communication through the entire process. Crystal Dream Entertainment definitely exceeded all expectations we had for a photo booth!! The photographer (Stravos) was so fun, friendly, and helpful making sure everyone put their information into the system to get digital copies of the photos! The props were so much fun and there was a wide variety, great for any party!! The fact that you could get a copy of your photo strip on the spot was icing on the cake! Thank you so much for making our birthday party so special and fun!!! Will use your services again in the future .
DJ Stavros provided great service. He worked with me to create a DJ, sound, and light package that fit in my budget range. He provided service from ceremony start to the end of the night. Everything went smoothly and without any issues. All music selections and name pronunciations were correct. Very easy to work with and professional. I would definitely recommend DJ Stavros for a wedding DJ.
I had the pleasure of working with Stavros this past weekend on a wedding event at Inn at Vint Hill . I have to say he really impressed me. He was very responsive throughout the planning process via email and by text! Very organized and detailed as far as client information and requests. He arrived on-time for set up and was ready to go prior to guest arriving. He has the latest equipment and lighting which most guest really enjoyed, specially once the party gets going. He also provided a photo booth and props which was a hit with all the guests and myself :) I will definitely be recommending him my future clients. As a wedding and event planner, it is important to work with vendors you can trust. I'll be adding you to my list ;) Thank you for all your help!
SO happy to write this review! Stavros was AMAZING and I would completely recommend him!! He was professional, responsive to my questions, & FUN! Our wedding ceremony went off without a hitch, and our guests had a BLAST at the reception!! I can't say enough good things about him!!
DJ Stavros was an EXCELLENT pick for our wedding ceremony! We found him late into our wedding planning phase shortly after COVID started and he was willing to work with us on changing plans as needed the entire time. At first, we signed on for a ceremony and reception, but as things progressed, we ended up going with ceremony only and he was very agreeable to that and refunded us accordingly.
During the planning phase, he provided a document to fill out with our song requests for each phase for the ceremony and was quick to respond with questions and provided guidance every step of the way. He was very professional and a pleasure to work with.
On the wedding day, he arrived promptly and went over a few things with me beforehand. Everything went exactly as planned and we couldn't be happier with the end result.
The next time we have a DJ need, DJ Stavros will be our first call and we would highly recommend his services for your wedding or special event. Thank you Stavros!!!
Working with Crystal Dream Entertainment as my wedding reception MC & DJ was 100% worth every penny. They provided lights, music, and a photo booth. The lighting was set up very elegantly and really set the mood in the hall. The photo booth was a huge hit with our guests. Huge selection of props which was fun for big groups. When I first contacted Dj Stavros I told him it’s very important to me to keep my guests on the dance floor all night because I love to dance - DJ Stavros did exactly that. My guests loved that the music was fitting for all ages and kept people dancing! We requested each wedding party couple to walk out to a different song, he did exactly what we requested seamlessly. He allowed us to review his announcement drafts and make any edits we wanted to. He is so easy to work with before the wedding and even during. We was very accommodating to last minute requests. I’d 100% recommended DJ Stavros to a friend in search of a wedding DJ!
DJ Stavros provided the entertainment at our friend’s wedding in November. I can honestly say, I haven’t danced that much in years! His song list was a hit with everyone, including the amazing Greek dance songs we all totally enjoyed. His mix of music was well-planned, superbly played at the right times, and got everyone on the dance floor. DJ Stavros is highly recommended for any occasion - put your dance shoes on!
The sound was amazing— crystal clear and very loud.
We were introduced in a fun and professional manner— the tone was perfect— not too formal, and not too crazy.
The environment was great! Meaning, the lights were fun and made for a party feel.
The music was great— just the right mix to keep the party going, and slowed down enough for people to dance with their loved ones.
Stavros was very easy to work with. I would highly recommend you have him DJ your event.
I give 100 stars.
Stavro has been DJing a long time. I have known him for most of this time. When we were planning our wedding date, we had his schedule 1st because there was no doubt that he would be our DJ.
Every one from our party had the best time ever. Stavro reads the crowd and will play things and mix it up in a way to keep everyone dancing all night. Even my wife's grandma couldn't contain herself and was dancing all night.
This guy is 100% professional. He has the best lighting and sound system you could ever want. He is there an hour early doing set ups for things most people overlook. He brings back up gear to insure that there wont be any breakdowns throughout the night.
And yes...he is Greek. He played some of the best mixes to keep it interesting for those who were completely unfamiliar to the Greek songs and everyone had a blast!
I am still getting text messages about when we will have another wedding just to have the fun continue.
My husband and I hired Dj Stavros and his team as a suggestion from a good friend of ours and honestly it was one of the best decisions we made in our wedding planning. Dj Stavros and his team provided beautiful uplighting for the reception (color of our choice) which added to the ambiance for dinner, speeches.. etc. and then, when the music started, the lights went to the beat of the music and changed colors, which brought the party to a whole new level! I have heard numerous times how my guests haven't danced that much in YEARS and I account that all to DJ Stavros and his skills. He really brings his A game and comes prepared for the event.
As far as sound goes, there was no question, it was top notch for both the ceremony and the reception. He played the songs we requested at the right times and kept the party going throughout the entire reception. He changed things on the fly if/ when needed at our request and did so with ease. Do yourself a favor and hire Crystal Dream Entertainment for your next event or wedding, you will not be disappointed!
Ok DJ Stavros and company was amazing. I would easily give triple the stars if I could. They were so professional very friendly. My husband and I couldn't have asked for more or better. we are a same sex marriage and they were so amazing. I wanted both American and latino music and they provided both. Great music, great service, great attitude. DJ STAVROS WAS AMAZING!!!!
When I hired DJ Stavros for an October wedding, I explained that I wanted a dance-vibe, but no cheesy wedding songs that feel forced. We requested a few specific songs, but other than that, we fully trusted DJ Stavros to set the tone for the night and he definitely did. He MCed everything perfectly and had everyone dancing for the entire night. My mom even tore a muscle in her hip from dancing for so long. She said she felt like she was missing out if she took a break. We absolutely loved him and would recommend him to everyone who wants to have fun at their wedding!
Stavros did an amazing job with all the services we hired him for – ceremony music/microphones and reception music/MC services/lighting. The ceremony was perfect – the guests could hear us well and the microphones were inconspicuous on both the officiant and the groom. For the reception, Stavros did a great job of building up the crowd and announcing our family/friends just as we asked. We even had a few last-minute additions to announcements and Stavros didn’t miss a beat! The reception music was a perfect mix of what we requested, and Stavros was a complete professional from the moment we hired him to the end of the evening. He effortlessly read the crowd to ensure the music was what they wanted to hear and kept the dance floor packed until we had to leave (we didn’t want to!). If you’re looking for a professional, accommodating DJ to make your day go as smoothly as possible, look no further – DJ Stavros has what it takes to make your day the BEST DAY EVER!
Crystal Dream Entertainment was amazing throughout the whole experience!
The services that was provided were music and lapels for our ceremony, which was clear and the volume was at a great level. DJ Stavros and his team did an amazing job from the moment our guest arrived at the venue for the ceremony to the very last dance of the reception. It went flawless!!! The dance floor was packed with every song they played. Everybody was getting down. They have a lot to offer as far packages to entertain our guest. The photo booth was well worth getting. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a dj/entertainment services. Thank you DJ Stavros!!!
