We hired DJ Entertainment for our September wedding and could not have been happier with him. We met about a month before the wedding to discuss the day and his suggestions really helped me get an itinerary in mind for our wedding. I did not have a wedding planner, so this was a huge help and stress relief for me.
He arrived on time and looked very professional, he quickly came up to me for a short run down of the day and confirmed the songs chosen hadn't changed. He even grabbed us drinks from the bar during our photoshoot! Definitely a small gesture that really felt above and beyond for us!
During the wedding he went up to all the tables and made conversation about how they knew us while letting people know it was their turn for the buffet, this kept things orderly and was a nice way for the guests at the tables to interact with him and each other. He came up to me several times to check in, took peoples recommendations, and played a great array of songs that got everyone on the dance floor. My favorite part was the game/challenge he came up with for us to get photos with all of our guests on the dance floor, everyone had a blast with it. All of my guests said they had a great time and that the dance floor was the most packed they'd seen at a wedding before. I highly recommend David and will not hesitate to hire him again for future events!
Dave did a great job with the DJ and Photo Booth at our wedding! He really listened to our preferences and responded to the room to keep the dance floor full the whole night! My husbands family is Portuguese and he found songs in addition to the suggestions we provided which everyone loved.
Communication was a bit challenging we were usually able to connect after a text or reminder email.
DJ Mike was awesome! So personable and easy to work with! He listened to what we were looking for and worked with us.
Any questions?
David was great to work with and he really worked closely with us to help make sure the night was everything we hoped for. His music choice resonated with both the older and younger crowd and the dance floor was packed! We are so grateful he made the night so much fun.
Dave was amazing. Energetic and friendly and listened to everything we wanted and kept track of everything
Dave was amazing! He really listened to every detail we wanted and really took the time to get to know us which we really appreciated. He had everyone out on the dance floor and my guests had a BLAST. It was truly the best night of our lives. We practically had to be dragged off of the dance floor at the end of the night! 10/10 would recommend Dave to anyone looking for a DJ & a GREAT time!
The DJ was awesome, the games Dave suggested were so much fun and everyone that came to our special day had a wonderful time!!! Dave had great communication and overall was great and professional. We had an untraditional entrance but he nailed it!
Awesome music and entertainment. The photo booth was a good way to get the guests up and mingling.
Dave was awesome! He was such a cool guy and had great communication throughout all of the planning. His music choices kept the party going and we couldn’t be happier! Dave was also really good with our 13 month old son (in addition to being social with our wedding guests) we will 100% be using him in the future!
DJ Dave was great! He was super personable, met with us beforehand to understand what we were looking for, an checked in the week of to make sure nothing had changed. ON the day of the wedding, he was great with guests and got the dance floor rocking. We highly recommend him!
DJ Dave was awesome! My husband and I decided on a small destination wedding in Vermont. Working with vendors remotely cam be challenging, but not with Dave. He made it super easy! He's warm and cheerful and really keeps the night moving! We played the shoe game and it was so much fun. DJ Dave chose an excellent mix of music! If you want someone who easy to work with and delivers a great experience, DJ Dave is your guy!
Dave was absolutely incredible. We are at a loss for words. Even with having to postpone with COVID, he followed us through to the end. So attentive and so fun. We will forever suggest him to other couples!
Dj Dave was great, he made sure our backyard wedding stayed on schedule, played our playlist and didn’t go rogue, he was also very flexible with changes in the days leading up to the wedding as well as during the actual wedding and reception. Dj Dave kept our dance floor full and was super easy to work with. Thanks Dave for contributing to our perfect day!
Dave was an amazing DJ! We had a Zoom call with him to talk about the high level overview. He is very flexible and wants to do what the couple wants. He sends out a survey where you can input song choices and timing of wedding that works really well. We tried to schedule 2 other calls closer to the wedding to finalize and talk through in more specifics, but he canceled on the day of after the time of the meeting. But he was still an awesome DJ, we got many compliments from our guests! He also stayed an extra 30 minutes because he and the guests were having a great time! Free of charge. Highly recommend!!
I don't think a review can do justice to just how good Dave was but I'll give it a shot. We had a few meetings before the wedding to go over the kind of music we were hoping to have played at our ceremony and reception and Dave hit the nail on the head. He got the party started and kept it going throughout the entire night, and he wasn't afraid to get out there and show everyone how to dance. His music choices were perfect and inline with what we were hoping for. He truly wants the event to be exactly what you were hoping for and gives great suggestions if you can't think of anything. We also added the photobooth which added another element of fun! Simply put, Dave was way better than we could've hoped for, and far exceeded our already high expectations.
I was not happy with this DJ. I specifically asked for a fun DJ who would entertain and create a fun party atmosphere. That did not happen. DJ was extremely hard to reach and get answers to questions.

Unfortunately Kathy's wedding was in the second wave of the covid-19 pandemic.
And her original DJ was infected with Covid shortly before her wedding.
DJ David was the replacement, I'm not sure what more of a fun atmosphere he could have provid...
ed with a guest list that was chopped in half.
Kathy mentioned the DJ not responding, I'll never blame a bride for their perception, but in response to that, if a client doesn't communicate with you after several months of emails, how do you respond??
Dave was wonderful to work with right from the first communication. He worked hard to make sure out wedding vision came to life.
Great experience - really made sure everyone had something to dance to and that the party kept going!
They took care of our wedding and absolutely rocked it! Knew how to keep the party going! Had everyone on the dance floor from start to the absolute end!
We know Dave from our favorite karaoke spot on Thursday nights and he is always incredible! He plays songs appropriate for the current audience in between singers, he gets a feel for the crowd, is very energetic and personable!
We hired Dave as our Photo Booth vendor (as we had already booked another DJ before discovering Dave) and let me tell you, that man did NOT disappoint! He was AMAZING! His Photo Booth was top of the line equipment, he custom designed our photo strip background to match our wedding colors, theme, and even had our names and wedding date on it! He was extremely upbeat and engaged with our wedding guests. His prop selection is very extensive and are of good quality. We also purchased a photo album that would specifically hold photo strips that had space atop the pages for guests to sign above their strips. Guests received 1 copy of their strips and as Bride and Groom, we received the other! By the end of the NIGHT Dave had given us our photo album/guest book, AS WELL AS a thumb drive with all the the images!
Dave was incredibly friendly, takes tremendous pride in his work, and is thorough through and through. His rates are more than reasonable for his services and his presence!
If we need a photo booth OR DJ for ANY occasion, we will always recommend Dave!!! A HUGE THANK YOU!!!
Dave was our DJ on 8.12.18. I am sad to say i was very disappointed. First of all, Dave makes you fill out a very long survey and we had one in person meeting, some emails back and forth and a phone conversation days before the wedding going over all of the details. I gave him painfully specific details of how i wanted things done and he assured me he could do it all. DJ Dave played the wrong songs for my ceremony entrance. For both the bridesmaids/ groomsmen and me as the bride! We had timed the songs perfectly and practiced with everyone the day before, and it totally threw everyone off. I spent months picking out the perfect song to walk down the isle to and i was on the verge of tears and didn’t want to walk because of the song being wrong. My dad finally got down the isle and i had put that behind me only to realize he didn’t put a mic on the officiant like we discussed. I was later informed no one past the 2nd row could hear a word that was said the entire ceremony. My father approached DJ Dave about the songs being wrong and he responded with “well she must have given me the wrong ones” which is impossible because i told him in the survey which versions (and parts down to the seconds) to play and he should have asked if there was any question. Then during the reception he approached me and i questioned him about not putting a mic on anyone and he said “could you hear each other? That’s all that matters” at this point i was pissed. $30,000 for 100 guests to come to our wedding and no one could hear our beautiful vows or anything the officiant said. DJ Dave was arrogant and took no direction from our venue and my wedding coordinator was often pushed aside by him as he completely took over everything. He forgot everything he was supposed to announce during the reception that we discussed on the phone just days before.The day after the wedding i cried myself to sleep because the song i had picked for my future husband to see me walk down the isle was taken from me and i didn’t even know what version DJ Dave had played. I texted him that day and asked him to send me the versions of the songs he used, and he told me he would send them that day. It’s now 6 days later and I’ve received nothing from him. I absolutely do not recommend him for a wedding and wish i had done more research because you only get one wedding and one chance to walk down the isle.

Perception... We can not change Renee's perception of her wedding day. But we can tell anyone who actually reads this review that we played the proper songs, did not forget any events, and had a tremendously fun time with Renee dancing all nigh...
t throughout her reception, it is too bad her perception has completely clouded a beautiful ceremony and Super fun party / please visit DJEntertainmentNH.com for pictures of our events
We had a very unfortunate experience with DJ Entertainment of NH. We hired Dave a year prior to our wedding after speaking with him and were very eager to work with him given the great reviews he had. Unfortunately, shortly prior to our wedding we were told we would have DJ Mike. We had a significant number of issues:
Less than a month prior we had difficulty getting in touch with Mike as we would set date for a phone call and we would text us later saying he had picked up a trivia gig.
Mike arrived to our ceremony in shorts, which is not appropriate wedding attire.
We met him prior to the reception and he had us text our updated list of our wedding party. He did not use this list and called the wrong names in the wrong order, ruining the entrance.
He did not stop our entrance song when we were at the dance floor, so we had to awkwardly speed dance for about a minute.
After that he could not get our first dance song to play so we stood in the center of the dance floor in silence for another minute waiting for him to get our first dance.
Additionally, instead of playing our last dance song per our list, he played a guest request.
When we reached out to Dave afterwards with out concerns and pointed out the points in our contract that were breached (professional attire, following song guidelines) he was very apologetic at first. However, when we requested a 50% refund based on the items breached in the contract he became very evasive. Our last notice from him was 5 days prior to posting this review, when we told us we would have a reply in 3 days. As of this posting, we have gotten no reply. I would suggest avoiding DJ Entertainment of NH.

We are sorry to hear that Meaghan's wedding didn't go as picture perfectly as planned. We have responded (prior to this review) and we tried to communicate with this couple via phone to address this and they refused... But, we will be addressin...
g a number of these issues internally with better training and preparation as here at DJ Entertainment we strive for perfection every step of the way from initial contact through the last song. We require our DJ's to show up in normal clothes (pant/shorts + DJ Entertainment polo) before changing into proper attire before the wedding as we feel it helps keep them looking more professional throughout the night. We also assign DJ's at the beginning of the season based off of schedule need as each of the DJ's at DJ Entertainment is held to the same high standard.
We originally spoke with Dave last year when we signed our contract and very much looked forward to working with him for our wedding. We ended up working with his son who was awesome. My only things were that we were supposed to have 2 DJ's for that night per our contract and did not and I also had sent over a list of songs to be played at the reception and not all were played (some with special meaning), but other than that Dave was great and were very pleased overall with the whole process. Would recommend!

We had a last minute emergency and one of the two DJ's (Dave) had to cover a different event & we have also instituted a policy to play the songs when the couple can hear them as they were played but during times when the couple was not inside
We couldn't have asked for a better DJ. Starting from the ceremony (which we sprung on him at the last minute and he so willingly accommodated) to playing the last song, he was entertaining and allowed for a easy transition from each event that happens throughout the reception. Dave got everyone on the dance floor and even helped the photographers in capturing some of our most memorable moments! Dave is truly the best!

we had such a great time with Helping Karla celebrate with her family in friends Thanks for such a great review
Dave did a great gob! He was professional and fun to work with. No matter what type of feel your going for he'll get it done.
We had a Harry Potter/Disney (with a splash of twilight) themed wedding and he made it perfect.
He used a variety of music from Harry Potter and Twilight during dinner keeping everyone eating so we could get food done quickly then he kept everyone moving on the dance floor once we cut cake. He was very personable FUN and everyone really enjoyed the entire reception.
The addition of up-Lighting made the room sparkle with blue color and it was truly a MAGICAL day and Night
"I will be hiring Dave in the future!"
