4 words for my wedding night: TEN OUT OF TEN. To say things went as smooth as ever would be an understatement. It truly felt like I was a guest at my own wedding because of how professional and good at his job DJ Stavros is. Prior to my own, I had not been to many weddings and so I really didn’t know what to do as for timelines, announcements, transitions - letting DJ Stavros do his thing turned out perfect. Our outdoor ceremony was well heard with the officiant and groom being subtly mic’d up. The music was great, lighting was awesome, entertainment has guests wondering where in the world I found such a great DJ. Along with DJ services, I also had the photobooth - 10000% worth it!!! The pictures came out great and the guests had a blast. Only regret of the night was not getting more pictures in there myself!!

We had DJ Stavros, from Crystal Dream Entertainment, at my son's wedding during the last winter storm in Maryland/DC area. ❄️☃️Winter storm and everything, he came thru for us and showed up with the best attitude and professionalism!! He paid attention to all our needs, the announcements and communicated perfectly with our coordinator to keep everything on time. The announcements where just what we had asked him for. He has so much experience so we didn't have to worry or ask... he just delivered !!!👍🏼 We had a full dance floor the whole night. He played the music we had selected, no unpleasant surprises. He was very helpful and was always available when we had questions. We had a mixed cultural wedding and he accommodated to our specific schedule and needs. I was the planner and working cross country, he was very nice and helpful. The lighting...🥰oh the lighting made the venue magical!!! He totally understood what we wanted... even if our description was not too accurate 😁 We had the photo booth and it was wonderful!! Guests loved taking their pictures with them!! The attendant was so nice and super helpful! DJ Stavros was worth every penny and more!!

Hiring DJ Stavros was hands-down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From our first conversation, he was professional, attentive, and genuinely excited to be part of...

our celebration. He took the time to understand our vision, music preferences, and the vibe we wanted—and absolutely nailed it. DJ Stavros brought the perfect energy. The music during the ceremony and cocktail hour was spot-on, and when it came time to hit the dance floor, he crushed it. The mixes were on point, he read the crowd flawlessly, and he not only stuck to my “no-play list”, but made sure to play all my special request songs. Our guests were dancing all night long—we’ve had so many people tell us how fun the dance floor was! Beyond the music, he helped keep the entire evening running smoothly. He coordinated effortlessly with our planner and other vendors, kept everything on schedule, and made sure we could just relax and enjoy our night. His teammate also ran our photo booth with ease and helped our guests ensure they got all the copies they needed! If you want a DJ who’s not only incredibly talented but also kind, easy to work with, and completely dedicated to making your day perfect—DJ Stavros is your guy. Can’t forget to mention his rad suit! Thank you for giving us the night of our lives!

personable, helpful, and did accommodate all requests, even last minute ones. Lights and music sound were amazing. DJ Stavros and his helper were professional, friendly, easy to work with and definitely worth it. The music choices aside from what we chose were awesome picks and kept everyone on the dance floor. I would definitely recommend Crystal Dreams and DJ Stavros. Oh and he went above and beyond trying to help with moving our cake and making sure things were flowing.

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!

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!

s 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!

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!!!

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!

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.

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!

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 m...

ore 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.

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 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 cr...

owd 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.

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 aest...

hetics 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 a...

ll 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 h...

e 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.
