After our wedding, we have received so many compliments about how fun the dance floor was. Frankie definitely kept the party going! We also appreciated that he sent us a video he made of our dance floor the next day.
I highly recommend CWDJ entertainment. Frankie was amazing start to finish. All the details we could ever wish for, he made happen. The ceremony was beautiful and exactly what we requested. He was so personable and made sure our night was perfect! The dance floor was unbelievably fun and he got everyone out there- even those who wouldn’t usually :) it was by far the best night of our lives and we are so thankful we chose Frankie to be the DJ!!!
Frank was very nice, but I had so many people complain to me that he wasn’t taking requests (which I noted in my paperwork he should). But overall he was good for a wedding dj and tried his best to be accommodating.
Could not ask for a better DJ! I only put in a few song requests, and told him he could play whatever else, and he KILLED it! Frankie kept the party going all night, and was super responsive during the planning process as well. I missed the deadline to submit songs on the portal, so I sent him a text in full panic mode, and he immediately responded and opened everything back up for me. Frankie is the best and I will forever recommend him to everyone. Thank you for making my day perfect!!
Best party DJ ever! We had so much fun and my whole wedding was on the dancefloor all night long!!
Frankie was phenomenal!! He was able to key in on our guests' vibe so well, and played all the music we requested. His process for working with couples leading up to the big day was very organized and easy to navigate. His presence throughout the event was the perfect amount of noticeable at all the right times, and spot on with the jams and keeping everyone wanting to be on the dance floor. I highly recommend Frankie and CWDJ and am extremely appreciative of all he did to make our wedding day unforgettable!
We hired Frank for our wedding on 10/10/21. His website made everything very organized. He was extremely responsive and helpful. The guests, venue and caterer all asked who the DJ was because they were amazed at how great he handled the music and hype. Even with some delays due to rain, dress changes, etc; He made everything flow perfectly!! Couldn't have asked for a better DJ!!!!
Frank and Austin with CWDJ Entertainment were such an awesome package deal! Our wedding was so much fun! The music choices kept people on the dance floor all night and everyone complimented on how great the songs were. The photobooth was a huge hit and everyone loved participating in it :) I would recommend this service to anyone that wants a fun and professional person to work with! Thanks for being a part of our special day! We had a blast and a night we will never forget!!
Frankie was absolutely amazing! The music planning process was so smooth with his online portal. Our friends and family keep telling us how it was one of the most fun weddings they have ever gone to and that of course is in thanks to Frankie and his DJ skills! Everyone had fun in the photo booth as well!!! Definitely hire CWDJ!
I would 100% recommend CWDJ for your wedding! It was so easy to work with them and they were all so nice. We had Chance as our DJ and he was amazing. I had talked to him a few weeks out to plan everything, and then we kept in touch up until the wedding to make sure everything worked out the way we wanted. He did a great job with music choices and everyone really enjoyed themselves! The photo booth attendants were awesome too, and it was so much fun! Would def. suggest getting the photo booth for your wedding!
We used Frankie from CWDJ and he did an amazing job!! Everyone is telling us how fun our wedding was and I know Frankie definitely is the main reason. It was such a fun night and wouldn’t have been the same without CWDJ. I definitely recommend them if you want to have the best DJ ever.
Using Frankie as our wedding DJ was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! Frankie made the process so easy and smooth with the online portal to get all our music requests in and talked through all our wedding timeline with us to make us feel really great before the big day. Our wedding night was SO fun and everyone remarked how amazing our DJ was - the dance floor was full the WHOLE night. Thank you so much to Frankie for an amazing job!
I want to give Frankie Carbone & CWDJ Entertainment 1,000 stars for being making all of our wedding music dreams come true! From start to finish it was exactly what we had hoped for. Frank did our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception, and we were able to submit our song choices for each part of the wedding on the client portal (super convenient). Even though I waited until the VERY last minute to submit all of our verrry specific song requests (…still SO sorry about that…), he didn’t miss a beat & the execution was flawless. Frankie kept the party going all night & guests of all ages were dancing the night away! Everyone had a blast & we got several compliments on the playlist! He also provided the up-lighting which I HIGHLY recommend! It added ambiance to our reception and really took everything up a notch. My husband and I could not have picked a better DJ. Frank is a true professional & his passion for what he does is palpable. Your search for the best wedding DJ ends HERE.
Frankie is the best! He is so personable, and he definitely loves what he does! I tasked the groom with picking songs for the reception and he forgot hit "submit" on Frankie's online client portal that had all of our bridal party information and song requests, we discovered this hadn't been submitted to him until about a week before the wedding. Frankie was patient and understanding and played all of our requests. We had an unforgettable experience during our wedding ceremony and had a blast with him at our reception. He reads the crowd very well, and adjusts accordingly to ensure that everyone has a fun night!
Highly recommend CWDJ Ent.!
Frank Carbone was absolutely FABULOUS to work with from start to finish. He deeply cared about us and all the moving parts of our rather challenging wedding day. He balanced our traditional ceremony, a Persian ceremony, cocktail hour and a reception with lots of unique items taking place FLAWLESSLY. The music and the Spark Photo Booth were all a hit and our guests raved and are still raving about how our wedding was the best wedding they had ever been to. So much fun! Frank was truly one of the highlights of our wedding and our favorite vendor that we worked with throughout our wedding planning. We LOVE Frank and his team! We can’t suggest them enough! Thanks, Frank! :)
Frankie and his team provided DJ services for our March 9th wedding, and they were awesome! Ours was a fusion wedding, celebrating my husband’s Indian culture and my American background, and Frankie made it all feel seamless. From the moment we met he was responsive, flexible, and willing to take on the challenge of playing songs he wasn’t as familiar with. Our guests had the best time and danced all night!
Frank is amazing- he was so accommodating above and beyond for us. He helped calm my nerves on an almost hour long call a few days before the wedding, he played the songs I requested exactly when needed with the timing lining up perfectly. I couldn’t have asked for a better DJ and I am extremely picky when it comes to music. Hire CWDJ for your wedding- you will love him!
CWDJ was amazing. We had Frankie and could not have had a better experience. We had a couple specifics that we needed catered to and he handled it no problem. He was so easy to work with and gave us exactly what we wanted. If you want a completely customized wedding playlist, someone who is easy to work with, and prompt planning communication, all for a great value.. this is the DJ company for you and Frankie is your guy.
Thanks again Frankie for making our day perfect.
Ashley and Bryan
Frankie was awesome! From the very beginning, Frankie was awesome to work with. I completely forgot to fill out our bridal party information sheet and music preference sheet until the day before the wedding. Frankie was so patient and matched perfect music to our reception. The photo booth was such a hit and created pictures and memories that we will look back on for years to come. We could not be happier with the way our reception turned out. If you want someone who is fun to work with and gets along well with your crowd, Frankie is your man!
I recently used CWDJ for our wedding May 2018. Frank was so easy to work with and accommodating of our wants and needs for our special day. We met at his office before the wedding to go over all the details. He always got right back to us when we emailed him with any questions or changes we had. We also decided to include the Photo Booth and our guests had a blast! The pictures are clear, and CWDJ provides awesome props for guests to use. Frank played all the hits (new and old) during cocktail hour and reception dinner. He kept the dance floor full all night. Our guests had an awesome time dancing the night away! I would highly recommend CWDJ for your next wedding or event!
They took the time to get to know you and see what works best for you!!! Definitely helped us with our reception timeline as well.
I recently used CWDJ for our wedding and reception earlier this month. Frankie was super easy and cool to work with! We were able to meet with him in his office to go over all of the details for our big day! My husband and I are big music fans, and Frankie allowed us to tell him exactly what music we wanted played and when! He brings great uplighting and really gets the party going! We also opted for the photo booth, which was a great idea! All of our guests, of all different ages, were able to enjoy the photo booth! They even had a special attendant for it that would have us our photos! I would highly recommend CWDJ for your event!!
We used CWDJ for our wedding in April and Frankie was super friendly, professional and accommodating. We opted to use CWDJ for our ceremony and reception as well as their photobooth which was a huge hit by our guests.We provided a handful of song requests and I gave genres and artists to Frankie during a phone meeting so he could get an idea of the time of music our crowd enjoyed and he did not disappoint! People were up and dancing from the second music started playing and almost didn't want to sit down for speeches! For the ceremony, we had a few specific songs that were covers, not your typical ceremony music and Frankie was able to pull and play all of them. The photobooth was beyond what we were expecting and a huge hit by our guests! There was always someone at the photobooth the entire night but never a huge line because the process and picture printing was so fast! The photo prints were a great souvenir and everyone had a blast! Highly recommend CWDJ to any and all on the hunt for a DJ for any event! We wish we could do it all over again!
Frankie was seriously so amazing. He was such a gem to work with - so easy and he put up with all of my anxious emails as we got closer to the day of our wedding. He was the perfect MC throughout the night and his team did an awesome job keeping everyone on the dance floor. All of my family and friends couldn't stop raving about him! Having the photo booth included in his package was so great and a big hit! I'd recommend Frankie for ANY event!
Frank was amazing! He took his time with my now husband when setting up our playlist. On the big day he was able to take on everything that was thrown at him, including my mother in law changing the mother/son dance at the last minute. Thank you Frank for making our day special.
Frankie with CWDJ is awesome!! From our first consultation I knew he would be a perfect. His pricing for a DJ and photo booth is literally the best value - you can't find anyone else that can beat it! He's very detailed and organized. There's a bunch of paperwork to fill out with all the little details of the wedding day to make sure he stays on top of everything and the night flows smoothly and perfectly - which it did! The dance floor was packed all night and there were constantly people having a great time in the photo booth - plenty of props for hilarious pictures. Highly recommend CWDJ!!
Frank did such an amazing job! He was very easy to work with and went above and beyond for us. He added so much to our wedding and he had people on the dance floor the whole night. Highly recommend!!
Frank made our wedding celebration an amazing event! He was very professional and responsive throughout the planning process, and we had fun working with him. Our guests had a great time! We highly recommend Frank.
I started to look for a DJ by first just doing a google search and calling several for quotes. After hiring our wedding planner, Jennifer Viscosi, she referred me to contact Frank (CWDJ). I was very happy with his quick response, his overall prices, his recommendations for additional services (photo booth) etc.. Even during the planning stages for the wedding he was always helpful and very easy to contact. His service during the wedding was flawless. He pronounced all names and order of the wedding party correctly. The songs he played were exactly what we wanted and he was very approachable by guests during the reception. I would highly recommend CWDJ for your DJ needs whether it's a wedding or some other type of event. The price you pay for the service you get was very reasonable and I for one was extremely satisfied with their overall service.
I hired CWDJ for my wedding in March and was so pleased with everything. I coordinated with Frankie, but Seth was the DJ at the wedding and they were both great and actually helped a TON with thinking through details of the timeline of events for my wedding. I provided a list of music that I wanted and they played all of the exact songs requested for the ceremony and they played a mix of my requests and songs that will keep people dancing for the reception. I got so many comments from my guests about how great the music was and how fun the DJ was.
I also rented the photobooth from CWDJ and boy was that a great decision. The photobooth was a huge hit for all guests - adults and children! It was super easy to use and we got two copies of each picture printed after each session for the guests to take home with them. I also got a USB with a copy of all the pictures taken and they are so funny!! You can rent the photobooth with or without the canopy and I would definitely recommend getting the canopy so that your guests can feel comfortable doing "silly" pictures.
Overall I had a great experience with CWDJ and will use them in the future if I ever need a DJ or photobooth at a party again.
A BIG five stars for the best DJ ever! If you haven't already booked Frankie for your wedding, you are wasting time! Best money ever spent. Kept the music going and everyone was on the dance floor. He provides options for fun games to keep the wedding guests entertained! I asked him to whip up a song mix for our first dance a few days before our wedding, and he had it ready to go. He is hands down the most professional, pleasurable individual I've had the joy of doing business with.
Frankie was so easy to work with, extremely helpful in picking song selections and absolutely killed it as our wedding DJ! Our guests had so much fun and were continuously complementing his work throughout the night. Honestly, we cannot say enough good things about him. Highly recommended!!
Best DJ in Raleigh!! Their photobooth is super nice too! We couldn't believe their price because of how good they were. Super affordable but they have a five star rating like some of the other guys that charge a fortune. Go with CWDJ. The owner is on the radio too which is pretty cool! Our guests stayed dancing all night tonight! Highly recommend!
Frank was amazing - throughout the planning process and on the wedding day as well! He was always available to meet with us, and was very personable. We had a few alternative music requests (Disney, GOT, Halloween), but he made sure to include all of it and sat down with us to pick out the exact versions of each song. During the wedding, he made sure to include our requests, as well as please the guests by playing their requests. Everyone was up dancing the whole night and had a great time. We would definitely recommend for any event. Thanks Frank!
We contacted CWDJ Entertainment and a few other DJs as we started our wedding planning. Frank set himself apart immediately by being incredibly responsive and communicative. Some other DJs I contacted took over a week to respond to simple questions, and one company never even responded to my initial inquiry! But Frank was on top of it. He always responded to my emails in a timely manner, usually within a few hours, and he was always professional, friendly, and clear. And once we booked him for the big day, he did a great job of staying in touch and continually responding to our questions. During our consultation meeting he was very thorough and it was clear he wanted to make sure he had everything exactly right, tailored to what we wanted. We were married at the Haw River Ballroom in Saxapahaw, and Frank was great about communicating and collaborating with the staff there to make sure everything went smoothly. And, perhaps most importantly, he kept the dance floor full all night! Thank you CWDJ Entertainment!
Frankie was an awesome DJ. I didn't have to worry about anything. He did things so smoothly and perfect! Loved his work and how he handled everything. All the music we wanted he played!
