Harold and Matt did a wonderful job as MC and DJ of our wedding! Harold met with us prior to our event to go over details and was extremely helpful making sure our preferences and ...
the overall vibe of our wedding day was exactly as we wanted. Matt played our requested songs and also did a great job gauging the crowd to see what got people dancing. I appreciate how they both checked in with my wife and I to see if we had any requests or needed anything to make sure our wedding was just as we imagined it. Great job, Dance Time - we would definitely recommend you!
Hired DTE to create a bogo, run a photo booth, and set off sparklers for my wedding night. From start to finish, DTE was so professional, punctual, and did an amazing job on my d...
ay of. My bogo was beautifully lit, all photo booth pictures were clear and good quality, and the sparklers were a hit. Highly recommend!
Jamie and his team did a great job making our day absolutely perfect. We had lots of changes leading up to our wedding day (thanks to loosening COVID restrictions, we went from sit...
down dinner to full dance party about two weeks before the day) and he was so flexible and thought ahead on every detail. We worked with him quite a few years ago for my bat mitzvah and it was so nice to have someone who knew us. I would absolutely recommend Dance Time!
Jamie and the rest of the team were absolutely fantastic. Choosing Dancetime entertainment truly is a huge part of why our wedding was as incredible as it was. We received SO MANY ...
compliments from family and friends saying how the music and the general vibe on the dance floor was the best they’ve ever experienced. We had family and friends coming up to Jamie to compliment him at the end of the night and tell him how awesome the music was. There were people on the dance floor the entire night. Each song was better than the last and we didn’t want it to end! Jamie was also super helpful when coming up with our ceremony music and very patient and kind. He gave us great recommendations. The whole team was extremely responsive anytime we went an e-mail with questions. I chose Jamie from a personal recommendation from one of my bridesmaids after experiencing him at her wedding and will recommend him to my sister and anyone else looking for a DJ!! Thanks so much Dancetime entertainment!
Dance Time Entertainment provided the music for our wedding party, and it was an absolutely wonderful, fantastic, fun time, thanks to MC Harold and his DJ. We had many requests, a...
nd Harold was open to everything we asked for. From cocktail and dinner-hour jazz, to everyone-get-down dance music, to providing background for a surprise jazz saxophone soloist – they did it all. We couldn’t have been happier with them, and would hire them again for any kind of party. They were awesome!
Jamie and Dancetime did our wedding at the New York Country Club in November. From the moment we met him, we knew that he was the person to go with. Jamie really makes you feel lik...
e your wedding is special, and does whatever he can to give you what you want. There was no sense of feeling like you were dealing with a wedding factory, like you get at some other places. Even with that, Jamie still managed to exceed our expectations. Our dance floor was packed all night. Everyone from young to old was having a great time. He listened to every one of our requests, and was so in tune to the needs of the party all night. I would 100% recommend Jamie and his team and would not hesitate to use Dancetime again in the future.
Highly recommended!! We booked Dance Time for our wedding and they did an outstanding job. Leading up to the event, they were responsive, attentive and flexible. We had a couple of...
special request like a C02 cannon entrance and they were more than happy to accommodate it. Anything that Dance Time controlled on our Wedding Day went off without a hitch. Our MC, Jamie, made sure everything ran as planned and the DJ, Harold, kept everybody on the dance floor all night. Everyone had a blast and are still telling us how we threw one of the best weddings they've ever been too. Thank you Jamie, Harold & Dance Time for making our wedding day one for the ages!!! Matt & Steph
I just got married May, 2018 and I am extremely grateful and appreciative to Jamie and the dance time crew for being such a big part of our special day and making our wedding nigh...
t flawless and perfect. A five star rating isn’t enough to share how incredible and amazing dance time entertainment truly is! They were always available to answer any questions and were extremely knowledgable when guiding us in making music choices and deciding on the flow of the night. They were flexible and made things so much easier with their online system and were always personable with their meetings when reviewing everything. They took in every meaningful concern we shared and responded to the vibe of the crowd so well that the dance floor was never empty! If you’re looking for an event that will leave your guests raving about, dance time entertainment is hands down the only way to go!
My husband and I had a wedding last January 2018 and we couldn't be more pleased with Jamie and his DJ for the amazing job they had done.
Five months have passed by and our guests...
still talk about what a great time they had dancing all night long.
Thanks to Jamie and his crew for the unbelievable memories we are going to have forever because you made our special day even more special.
DanceTime Entertainment was the perfect choice for our DJ and ceremony music. From our initial meeting with Jamie it was clear that he wanted to understand the vision of our weddin...
g and would work to meet our needs. In the multiple meetings we had with Jamie he asked all the important questions to make sure the services provided would fit the overall vibe we were going for. We were concerned we would hire a DJ who would turn our wedding into a club. We are both pretty laid back and more into classic rock than EDM. Our concerns were banished with Jamie. Not only did he play the best music but created a fun, relaxed, joyful atmosphere for the entire evening. In addition, we wanted a string duo for our outdoor ceremony. Jamie worked with our budget to give us exactly what we wanted. Long after the wedding was over we still have guests talking about how great our DJ was. DanceTime Entertainment should be your only phone call for your DJ wedding needs. We could not recommend Jamie and his team more.
We loved working with Harold! He made planning our big day fun and easy. We were happy that he could also work our special day. He was there early to set up our lights and ensure w...
e were happy. The music was great all night and my guests had an amazing time!
We were really happy with Dance Time Entertainment. They provided audio ceremony as well as music for the reception. They always kept the party moving and everyone had a good time....
Not only do they provide music, but they were also the masters of ceremony making sure each event moved along smoothly. I had a busy schedule so they made it easy to work around that by providing a website format to discuss what music we wanted for each moment. Everything was planned impeccably and Jaimie, our DJ, did an amazing job!!! We highly recommend Dance Time Entertainment.
Jamie and DanceTime were the absolute BEST DJ/MC we could have asked for!! Early on, we emphasized that we wanted people on the dance floor the entire time during our wedding and ...
Jamie and his team 100% delivered. The dance floor was never empty, we had so much fun as the bride and groom, and all of our guests are still raving about what a great party it was. The music variety was awesome, Jamie helped us incorporate different traditions and dances throughout the night, and also helped to coordinate everything so the night ran perfectly. Jamie always took his time in meeting with us and made sure we knew exactly how the day would run. The DanceTime team truly takes the time to make sure your day is so special and that you don't have to worry about a thing. Seriously, our wedding was one of the best parties we, or anyone, has ever been to and we owe our greatest appreciation to Jamie and his team. You can have full confidence in knowing that you will have an amazing even if they are involved. Thank you again DanceTime!!

the crowd dancing. We had a wonderful experience with Dance Time Entertainment!
Dance Time Entertainment was my clear choice when picking our wedding DJ. Dance Time did a fantastic job for both my sister and my sweet sixteen parties; therefore I had complete c...
onfidence when I booked them for our wedding.
Jamie walked us through the options and pros and cons, and made our choices effortless. A day that we had thought would be very stressful, we felt at easy knowing that Jamie would make our entrance and dances look flawless.
We also choose to go with a group photo booth we booked through Dance Time as well. We had a lot of out of town guests, so have some fun group shoots was perfect. We have copies of all the photos and can't express how priceless that is!
Guests danced all night! Perfect ratio of oldies to current songs and our personal playlist. Lighting gave our room at the Surf Club that extra punch!
We would undoubtedly book with Dance Time again. Their professionalism always goes beyond our expections!
Sincerely,
Happy newly weds
Jamie and his crew provided the entertainment and photo booth for our wedding. As a music lovers and experienced wedding guests, we knew we needed a DJ that understood what kind of...
musical feel we wanted for our wedding. When we first met with Jamie, he took the time to get to know us as customers and as individuals. Extremely professional and personable! From working with us on incorporating cultural music to coordinating a surprise slideshow with the brides father, Dance Time Entertainment supported us along the way in the planning process.
We added in a Photo Booth, which was so incredibly awesome to have. The props were the best I have seen. Shortly after our wedding, Jamie sent us digital copies of all the Photo Booth pictures along with an album and candid shots of all our guests.
We trusted them completely to set the tone for our night and to bring out the best in our guests! The dance floor was packed the entire night and kept the evening flowing effortlessly. The whole crew was amazing and we could not be happier with having them make our wedding day PERFECT!! Thank you so much!!!!
Jamie and Dance Time were the best! Our guests were dancing the whole night! They also made they planning process super easy. Would definitely recommend them to friends getting mar...

Working with Dance Time was breeze. Jamie met with us on two occasions and offered great advice. We wanted a unique intro song and he was able to make it work. The lights he provid...
ed really set the scene for a great night! He was also very helpful in steering us away from potential "party killer" songs. We loved the website that let us list and change songs on our time. We had met with about 4 other entertainers (unsure if we were going to have a band, dj or a combination) and he was by far the most professional. Couldn't have asked for more!
The Dance Time Entertainment staff did an amazing job at our wedding reception!! Jamie was involved with us throughout the planning process. He reached out/met with us multiple t...
imes to make sure we were all on the same page regarding the music and organization of the reception. Jamie checked in with us throughout the night and was a big help in managing the events of the evening. Our guests rarely left the dance floor and had a tremendous time! We received many compliments about the music selection and overall atmosphere. Our guests especially loved the live percussionist who brought a different dimension to the music. Dance Time Entertainment played a large part in making our wedding reception even better than we could have imagined!!
I could not say more good things about Dance Time Entertainment. They were extremely professional in everything they did. They worked with us on nailing the finer details like pron...
ouncing all the bridesmaids and groomsmen's names, and discussing an outline of the night. Mark, our MC, was fantastic (and also did my sister's wedding four years ago). The music got everybody off their feet and everybody had an amazing time.
Jamie and his staff at Dance Time Entertainment are truly amazing!!! We are so thankful we chose them to provide the entertainment at our October 2015 wedding. Our MC, Mark, was th...

Our DJ, Mike, kept the dance floor full the entire night!!!! They were an amazing team together!! Our guests raved about how much fun they had dancing at our wedding and we have Mark and Mike to thank for that. We highly recommend Dance Time Entertainment!!!!!

e to the day of, Jamie was timely and the day went off EXACTLY as we had discussed a few weeks prior. I would absolutely recommend Dance Time Entertainment as they kept the dance floor full the whole night- our guests couldn't stop paying us compliments on our DJ selection.
Thank you Jamie for providing the perfect musical compliment to our wedding day.

Could not have been happier with the job Jaime and Dancetime did at our wedding on May 16th. From beginning to end my mind was at ease. We talked through who we invited to our wedd...
ing, the type of music our friends and family like, the order of events and then the day came and I didn't have to worry about anything. Everyone was up on the dance floor the WHOLE NIGHT. Even my mom who is in a wheelchair couldn't help but get on the dance floor. While we ate they played more low key music and people could actually hear themselves speak. After dinner Jamie asked if there was anything we wanted to change or adjust and we told him to just keep doing what they were doing. We also got the open air photobooth which was AMAZING. We got so many compliments from our guests as well, they didn't want to leave they were having such a great time. Overall there is nothing I would change about the entertainment on our wedding day, it was truly everything we wanted.
I used Dance Time as the entertainment for my wedding and could not be happier with their service! The MC and DJ had a great understanding of the types of music we wanted and the d...
ance floor was packed all night. We also had the electric violinist playing along and she was amazing! The Dance Time staff are friendly, professional, and fun. Our wedding was a blast thanks to them!
Jamie is great to work with - had the dancefloor packed all night! Highly recommend!
I can not say enough great things about dance time!! They did a great job at my wedding and were extremely professional!!!
Jamie and his team at Dancetime DJ have been nothing but great! I won their Free 2 Air Photo booth at a bridal show. It wasn't something we originally thought we would have at th...
e wedding, but in the end, the photo booth was one of biggest hits of the night. We were blown away at how much fun our guests were having and loved how easy the photo booth was to use (we could email photos to ourselves!). If we were to do the wedding all over again, the photo booth would definitely be #1 on our list to include. Randy attended our booth and made sure our guests had fun and that we made our way to take photos too - thank you! I would suggest asking for him and adding the guest book package too! It was so much fun to see everyone's photos and personal messages after the wedding. Thanks Randy and Jamie for helping make our wedding the best night for us and so many of our guests.
We met with our MC Michael prior to the wedding and we had total confidence in his ability. He assured us everything we discussed and told him would happen. Come the day of our we...
dding Mike did exactly as he promised. From the first dance to the final song of the night the DJ was in the mix and MC Mike had our guest up all night. Truly the best night ever! I highly recommend Dance Time and MC Michael !!!
Jamie & the Dancetime staff were fabulous. They guided us through every step, letting the event be "ours". Did not feel at anytime that they were just going through the motions. ...
We liked the personal touch, and got rave reviews from our guests.
Jamie was very accommodating and very easy to work with. The DJ’s were great, kept people dancing all night. The only issue was they played the wrong song for my walk down the ai...
sle. Kind of a big disappointment but I would still recommend them. Everyone commented on how great the DJ’s were.
Jamie Villarie and everyone at Dancetime Entertainment did beyond what they had to to make my wedding day the best it could be. Jamie was honest and genuine. I would recommend them...
to anyone!
My fiancé and I can't say enough about DanceTime entertainment. Jamie and his team provided us with a wonderful wedding reception and they play a mean hora as well.
Our guests...
were raving for days afterwards.
We also highly recommend the photo booth. The DanceTime crew provided us with great props and the book of memories you get at the end is well worth the cost!
Everything was PERFECT! Dance Time Entertainment was so easy to work with! Jamie kept our guests dancing the whole night! Jaime is a professional in every sense of the word! He was...
a pleasure to work with and was a huge help with selections as well as helping to create a magical evening for us and our guests! Another bonus of Dance Time Entertainment is that they have their own photo booth which comes with a guest for the bride and groom and party favors for the guests! We would highly recommend using Dance Time Entertainment!!
Jaime was a pleasure to work with. Mike, my DJ, kept the party going. The dance floor was packed all night. If you have requests for songs, go over them first.
Jamie is so helpful. He makes planning a wedding easy! Must have DJ.
We had Jamie MC our event.
Working with him was easy and a total pleasure from start to finish. Professional, courteous and receptive to what YOU want out of your day.
The re...
al topper for me was having people who constantly bashed us for not using a band come up and APOLOGIZE after the fact. I'm not one for "I told you so's," but it sure made me feel good knowing that Jamie and Co performed at a level which pleased some pretty difficult people.
Can't recommend them enough. Fabulous. Fabulous. Fabulous.
We are so glad we booked Dance Time for our wedding DJ. We went to a friend's wedding and they were great- no one stopped dancing! Once we met Jamie we knew we would book him. He w...
as so personable and helpful. From the beginning to the very end when we couldn't decide on songs, Jamie helped us envision our wedding and plan the music.We went with the simplest package and he never pushed us to add on enhancements. He kept the energy up the entire night, everyone young and old danced the whole time. He helped us with every part of the reception and really became a part of our night. All of our guests commented on how great the DJ was. I highly recommend Dance Time. THANK YOU!!!
We met with dozens of DJ's in our search and some of them were awkward and none made us feel they could command a room.
When we left our first meeting with Dance Time, my wife...
and I both said to each other "what a breath of fresh air!" It was obvious that the head man Jamie was experienced and knowledgeable. He gave us a folder with all the details of the pricing/packages and gave us the option to mix and match ideas to fit our needs. Great value in comparison to other prices we received.
We set up a payment schedule(they take credit cards): one deposit, second payment, and final payment. They were in constant communication with me over e-mail throughout the entire duration.
We met two weeks before the wedding to discuss all the particulars and they exceeded our expectations. Our DJ Nelson really listened to our ideas and the types of music we wanted and it really showed the day of. In the end, we even gave them an additional tip because we were so happy with the way everything turned out.
Although we had a string trio play the ceremony, Dance Time provided us with one song during the ceremony for my wife to walk down the aisle. They brought one speaker and a small system outside and the sound blended very well with the string band and helped make the ceremony very special. They also gave us a wireless microphone for the amplification of the ceremony.
My wife's father wanted to put together a medley of three different songs for the father-daughter dance and we were very happy with the outcome of what Nelson put together for us.
Our dance floor was completely full the entire night. Since the wedding, people continue to tell us how much they loved the music. We highly recommend Dance Time Entertainment and especially the MC Nelson.
Dance Time was our choice for MC, DJ and music for our June 2013 wedding. My husband and I were very happy with them. Jaime, the owner, is very personable and professional. We a...
lso liked that they were very familiar with the layout and facilities of our reception hall- which really helped with the planning and flow of things. Dance Time did the music for our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception... So really think about choosing a quality entertainment company like Dance Time because the music and MC really do help to set the tone of your oh-so-special Wedding Day! You will be very satisfied with Dance Time!
Our wedding was 8/2/13, and we used Dance Time Entertainment for our DJ (per recommendation from a close friend). My friend also recommended Jamie Villarie, who was awesome. From t...
he moment we met Jamie, we knew we were in good hands. We trusted him to bring our party to life and he did that and more. He was so professional and kept everyone on the dance floor the whole night long! I would recommend Dance Time Entertainment to anyone! Thank you Jamie you really made our wedding AMAZING :) - Anya & John
I could not be happier with our the staff from Dance Time. Our friends are still talking about our wedding and the great time they had. I met with Jamie several times before the w...
edding which made me feel so confident and relaxed. We discussed the entire day and Jamie made all the right suggestions and recommendations! Which helped with our extra family situation.
And then the Party !! Dance Time provided the best music for our ceremony and cocktail hour a beautiful harp, violin and cello. And when we entered the reception Jamie and our DJ Mike had everyone dancing, our guest never left the dance floor, I am not even sure if I stopped to eat!
I highly recommend Jamie and Dance Time they truly crushed our expectations!
Hiring Dance Time Entertainment for my wedding was the best decision I ever made. Jamie was a huge help throughout the planning process and always available to answer any questions...
. I never had to wait more than a few hours to hear back by phone or email to any and all questions or concerns I had. The night of the wedding Mike and his coworkers did an amazing job with the music. It kept people up and moving when needed and when it was time to sit and eat, the music was never so loud that you couldn't hear the person you were talking to. I am still getting comments from our wedding guests about what a great job the entertainment company did. Thanks Jamie and Mike for making my night so memorable!
I couldn't be happier with my experience working with Dance Time Entertainment. The music at our wedding exceeded my expectations! Nelson was our dj and emcee, and he did such a gr...
eat job with the variety of music he played and his ability to keep our guests entertained. I trusted Nelson to come up with a playlist that would encompass all of our guests and that goal was accomplished and a great time was had by all. Jamie was very professional in the planning and helped us plan a night that we will always remember. The photo booth added another fun element to the night and we will have those pictures for a lifetime. I highly recommend Dance Time Entertainment for any of your party needs!
My wife and I used Dance Time Entertainment for our wedding this past spring and they were incredible! They helped turn our wedding into the party my wife and I always imagined, wi...
th people dancing to great music all night. 4 months later still get complimented on the music.
We worked with Jamie Villarie during the process, which was a real pleasure. He was professional, friendly, knowledgeable, accommodating, good humored, and made working with Dance Time one of the smoothest parts of our wedding planning.
Nelson was our MC at the wedding and I can’t say more fantastic things about him. We spoke prior to the wedding; he listened to everything I was looking for, gave his advice, and made it all happen. He kept the night moving and music pumping, without ever being an overbearing presence.
Overall, I would highly recommend Dance Time Entertainment. You won’t be disappointed!
My wedding was on June 7, 2013 and we had Dance Time Entertainment as our DJ. My wife and I had been to a wedding prior to ours where Dance Time was the DJ and thought they were gr...
eat so when it came time for our wedding, we went straight to Dance Time.
Jamie Villarie was who we worked with and he was amazing. He was extremely friendly and helpful throughout the whole planning process and especially with out in person meeting prior to the wedding. Jamie was great at making recommendations and helping us plan for the reception.
We couldn't have asked for a better experience at the wedding itself. From the moment the reception started, the dance floor was full and only emptied during dinner. Jamie & team did an AMAZING job of playing music that got our guests up and fitting into the types of music we requested. During the wedding itself, my wife and I had a number of our guests come up to us and compliment how good the DJ was!
I'd also recommend adding the live percussionist (drummer) to your package. It's an add-on, but really helped push our experience over the top and is definitely something all of our guests loved.
Can't say it enough, but we had a GREAT experience working with Jamie & Dance Time and they were amazing at our wedding!
We used Dance Time Entertainment for our wedding! Could not have been a better night! Jamie was awesome as usual! My friends and family only sat down to eat! Great music, great cha...
racter, awesome to work with!! I highly recommend Dance Time! Thanks again for a great night!!
Dance Time Entertainment was Terrific!! From our first meeting with Jaime, we knew this was going to be a great experience. Michael was our DJ for the evening, and he was awesome!...
We had various age groups and he catered to every single one. The dance floor was always filled with our guests dancing and having a GREAT time.
Every wish of ours was granted by both Jaime and Michael. I would so highly recommend DanceTime Entertainment. Thank You so much for making our day incredible!!!!
