Esteem Entertainment

Thank you Esteem Entertainment for helping to make our daughter's engagement party perfect from start to finish. You arrived well ahead of the party to set up and introduce yourselves to us. Everyone at the party complemented us on the choice of our band. Your song selections were great and so was your sound. Thanks again for a wonderful evening!

The band was amazing from start to finish. They played exactly what we wanted, took requests, etc. They were all extremely friendly and professional. I would definitely use them again for another event. Our guests are still talking about how great they were!!

Ronnie was on time , terrific and a big part of making the engagement party a success. He was engaging and professional… the music was fantastic. I’m so happy with the choice of DJ and your company.

Great band! We asked for country and got country with a fiddle in the band too! Perfect for my our party! The guys were so nice and played all the songs/artists we asked for.

We are so very happy we chose Esteem to play for our wedding. The band did an EXCELLENT JOB with our music. They were on time, very professional and again the music was outstanding!!We will definitely recommend you guys to anyone looking for wedding music or music for any other event. Thank you again!!!!!

They were quick to respond, set up and began the way we requested and everyone enjoyed the performance.

All my wedding guests raved about Esteem All Stars! My vision for our wedding was to have the dance floor packed the entire night and Esteem Entertainment did just that! They were also interactive with out wedding guests which we loved!

Jack Goodman helped me in my time of need. Great and quick responses to emails and texts. With all of the changes we had to make to my son's wedding, Jack was right there and helped me through it. DJ Bryan was excellent if not top notch, professional and very personable. Loved feeling like he knew the family and handled all the situations that could happen, which did happen, with ease and like a pro. Will definitely use them again in my future engagements and highly recommend using Esteem Entertainment.

Great Band! they nailed all the songs, and were accommodating with random jazz covers of contemporary pop hits.

Our Tiki Party was so complete with our Hawaiian dancer that we hired through Esteem Entertainment. Her fire dancing was fantastic, she was so great she taught some dances and our homeowners all joined in. So much fun, would highly recommend!

We are so happy with how accommodating Jack has been during covid. This is an uncertain time and he has been very supportive throughout this entire process. We can not wait to celebrate our wedding with the Esteem All Stars Band.

Jake's Rockin Country Band was awesome! Whole crowd had a fantastic time. Simply a great performance.

The Esteem All Star Band with Jack Goodman were amazing at our wedding Saturday night and we could not be happier!!! The band promised us an all night party and they delivered! Esteem Entertainment and Jack Goodman were always easy to get in touch with and were welcoming to our suggestions, while offering their own based off of their experience. They were able to play all of our requests while also feeling the vibe and energy of our crowd, and ensuring everyone was having a good time. Days later, we are still getting so many compliments about how much fun they had, and the how good the band was during our wedding. One member of the band also played during our ceremony and cocktail hour as well. They were able to create such a memorable experience that we as well as our guests will always remember. We highly recommend the Esteem All Star Band and Jack Goodman for your wedding- you won’t be disappointed!

Great band. Fun and music for all to enjoy. Will bring them back to our community for another event

They were the most lively and energetic wedding band I've ever seen! They had the entire reception dancing.

We used Esteem for our live ceremony & cocktail Music - a cello & violin duo, and DJ Vinny for the reception. As we were taking photos for most of our cocktail hour, we didn’t get to experience a lot of the live music for ourselves, but our families and guests loved the string duo, and we could tell they did an excellent job with our ceremony music. The processional and lead-up to the ceremony went seamlessly thanks to them. The cellist in particular made a point to come meet us at the end of their set and congratulate us, which was so nice. For the reception, DJ Vinny did a great job executing our featured songs for our entrances, first dance and slow dances, including our special request for a specific version of our first dance song. At first, he improvised off our playlist, and there were a few “typical” party songs we didn’t love, but our guests didn’t notice - upon chatting with him, he stuck with our requests and the night went on without a hitch. I do think it would have helped to have a call or video chat with him prior to the wedding so he could meet us and get an even better feel for our style, but overall he was easy to work with, and we were all dancing the whole night. We got lots of compliments on the fun music and non-stop dancing. Esteem was easy to work with, and they responded quickly to all our emails and questions. Even though they're located far from our venue, the DJ and musicians arrived early and were all set up and ready.

We have used Esteem Entertainment for the past 3 years for our annual party! They have provided excellent entertainment and we will continue to use them.

Great work, loved having them at our Non-Profit event. They can read the room and play any style!

As we all know, food and music make a wedding. Jack Goodman and Esteem Entertainment absolutely brought their best! We booked The Rick Martin Swing Orchestra and added an additional singer from the All-Stars. My wife and I were blown away by their performance and our guests couldn't have been more entertained. Working with them was a pleasure which has warranted our highest recommendation to anyone looking for live entertainment on their special day!

The band was awesome at playing music, and my guests loved them, but I was disappointed with how they ran the event. I had spent a lot of time and effort making a schedule that they choose to loosely follow. They made a few announcements that I needed to stop and tell them that it wasn't the right time for what they were trying to do (aka, announced the maid of honor speech while half of the guests were still in line for the buffet). I had also sent them a copy of our first dance with how we wanted it played. I was assured it was being passed onto the band. Right before our entrance the band leader came out to ask me how to play it (he clearly had not listened to the song). They ended up playing it way to fast and added an extra chorus, which was a disaster since we had choreographed a dance. They also took a break an hour before the wedding was over so there was 15 min of dead air in the middle of everyone enjoying the party. I had to ask them to have the automated keyboard play something as background music. I had been told on the phone when booking they did continuous play. All in all their price was the best we found, but in the end we got what we paid for.

The band was amazing I every body had a great time we also gave out your number people want you at there event

We hired Esteem Entertainment band, DJ and string quartet for our wedding day that took place on April 20th, 2019 in East Brunswick, NJ. The band was amazing, the two vocalist were exceptional and a whole performance by everyone was great. We and our guests were blown away by the bands performance during the bid day. Its a costly band but it is worth it every dollar for the quality of the performance provided. If you are searching for a quality live performance - Esteem Entertainment has it all. Laima & John

We are so incredibly pleased by the service provided from this company and the performance Ron The Piano man gave for my moms 60th birthday. All of his songs were spot on and he was SO good!! I recommend him for any time of event.

The Esteem All Star band blew the roof off our event! They played everything from Motown to rock and hip hop. The dance floor was jam-packed the entire night. We could not have asked for anything more out of our band. In fact, they far surpassed our wildest dreams! The day would not have been as amazing without them.

The Esteem All Stars band was absolutely incredible! They performed with such energy, listened to our requests, and even let us perform a song with them! The lead singers had an incredible vocal range, and worked off of the guests vibes in what they would sing next. Shout was definitely the song of the night! Highly recommend the All Stars--guests are still telling me a month later how much the band elevated the reception.

My daughter just had her weddig on October 5,2018 and Jack Goodman with Esteem Entertainment Allstars were excellent. They had the dance floor packed the entire night and every song sounded exactly like the recordig artist. They made sure that they came into the audiance to get everyone dancing. My guests didn't stop telling us that they were excellent. If you are planning a wedding or party you need to go and check out this band and i can guarentee you won't be dissapointed. I have one more daughter getting married in the near future and I will definitely be calling Jack up again. I want to thank the entire band for making my daughter's wedding a funtastic evening.

Had Esteem Entertainment at our annual conference in Cape May last week and they were awesome! Our attendees usually don't get up and dance but the dance floor was filled this time around. The band made the whole night so memorable!

Thank you very much for playing at my brother’s wedding and for backing me up during my very special tribute to Matt and Jess. You all were fantastic!

I can honestly say I feel extremely lucky for having found Reel Time Band to play at our wedding….when I had first begun the search for a wedding band, I instantly read every review I could, watched videos and compared prices. I wanted a band who would play a variety of music, get everyone on the dance floor and a band who was affordable. Reel Time Band did not disappoint! Jack was always available throughout the entire wedding planning process and answered any questions we had. It is so evident this band has so much experience and is so professional and the day went on without any glitches. The band played the ENTIRE night and there was never a moment where a recorded song was just playing in the background. They PERFORMED and involved all the guests. I can’t even tell you how many compliments we have gotten-a month later and it’s all people are talking about…”Where did you find that band?!!” They truly made our wedding night one of the most wonderful days of our lives; I can’t say enough good things about this band! An excellent choice and I highly recommend! Stephanie & Anthony 6.9.18

Dominic is awesome! We used him as our dj on May 12, 2018. Throughout the wedding planning Dominic was always available to go over details of the wedding. He has a great personality and is very professional. My husband and I were incredibly pleased with all of the songs he played and we were blown away by how many people he kept on the dance floor. Everyone was having a great time dancing and all of our family and friends raved about the music. He played all of our requests and made everything run so smoothly!! We would recommend his services for weddings or any event to all of our family and friends!!

BEST BAND EVER! From the moment I spoke to Jack on the phone, we got along so well! Everything went so smooth. All our requests were met and more! Dominic was so accommodating in our requests and reassured us that we had nothing to worry about. From providing the equipment at our outdoor ceremony to the cocktail hour music and the party itself was awesome! The variety of music they played was awesome! OUR DANCE FLOOR WAS PACKED ALL NIGHT! I even rapped Juicy by Biggie Smalls with the band! Our guests are still raving about them! It was so awesome, definitely one of our best wedding decisions!

My husband and I had our wedding 3/25/18 and we loved Dj Dominic! He was professional accomodating and kept our guests on the dance floor all night! I highly recommend him for your next event! We couldnt of asked for a better night! Thanks Dom!!!!!

My husband and I had the Esteem All Stars for our wedding as well as a pianist from Esteem Entertainment for our ceremony and cocktail hour at our September wedding a few months ago and they were incredible! I had my heart set on a band but so many of them are completely cost prohibitive. I had almost given up when my mom came across the Esteem All Stars and sent me the link. I was a little nervous at first because we live and work in NYC which made it challenging for us to attempt to see them live before booking, but we decided to take a chance based on what we saw in their video clips and are so glad that we did! We emailed back and forth with Dominic Longo who was always available to answer our questions and were amazed when he shared a quote that was reasonable. We had some special requests for our ceremony music- I wanted to walk down the aisle to a song from Hamilton and my husband and I had a plan for a surprise flash mob to Canon Rock during our recessional. No request was too big (or too strange) for them and they handled it all wonderfully. On the day of the wedding, they even came with an extra vocalist who ended up being the life of the party (and could do the old Frank Sinatra songs like a BOSS!) Our guests raved about the band for weeks after the wedding and even now, four months later, we are still getting compliments about them. I could not recommend them more highly!

We could not be happier to have chosen Dominic to DJ our wedding. He is professional, experienced, and fair. I found working with DJ Dominic to be stress-reducing, which is rare when hiring wedding vendors. Our Ceremony and Reception were on multiple floors of a building, we had a live singer, and multiple timed dances – all of which Dominic handled without breaking a sweat. He read the crowd, had 200 people dancing for hours on end, and left the room cleaner than he found it. He is the best man for the job, no question!

Our friends recommended Esteem and they did a fantastic job for our wedding this November! We had an acoustic guitar in the morning and the Piano man band for our extended cocktail reception in the evening. They nailed every song and we danced the night away. They are in Freehold but came up to Hoboken and Montclair for us. Can’t say enough - Jack and Dominic are both great. Thank you Esteem!

Look, I know it seems lazy to mark 5 stars across the board for a review, but Esteem Entertainment absolutely deserves these high marks. Their team was absolutely dynamite for my recent wedding. They were fantastic with communication back-and-forth to ensure that they sent the right DJ accounted for all specific requests (attire, lighting, and playlists for dinner and dancing). Music and emcee services are something that can ruin an event, but you are paying for peace of mind with Esteem, because they are, in every sense, professionals. And if you're fortunate enough to have DJ Mike work your event, you're getting the best of the best... he's an absolute legend!

I had a Country Western Birthday Party and DJ Pete and the Dancer/Teacher were fabulous. They had everyone up and dancing the entire time. I highly recommend Esteem Entertainment. Very reliable.

Dominick was recommended by my sister to DJ my wedding. I am so happy I listened. Professional, prompt, great music, and an awesome time was had by all. Dominick was a very nice person to work with. I will be recommending Esteem!

Dominic Longo helped to make the night absolutely magical. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect Wedding reception. Everyone had a fantastic time and the dance floor was packed for much of the night. Dominic helped the night to run extremely smoothly. It was truly amazing. To anyone considering getting a DJ for their wedding, I highly recommend Dominic.

We want to thank Dominic for the great job he did at our daughter's wedding. The bride and groom had a very large eclectic list of music they like and Dominic seemed to play all that they had asked for. He is professional and easy to work with. No drama ! The evening went smoothly and everyone had a great time. Thanks again !

The band made the wedding--they were great--in their song selections, performance and generally just reading the crowd-- So many people commented that they had the best time because of the band, and so many joined in--those who generally never dance! Thank you so much--

DJ Dominic is fantastic! First of all he has a voice of gold. He and his brother worked with us to deejay our ceremony and our reception, (including a trivia segment!) and our guests really hit the dance floor. Afterwards people said that we really knew how to throw a party! He was a super emcee and kept the night moving along. Planning what music we wanted to play was easy and he advised us on our music selection. And the price point was spot on. Thanks, Esteem!

We booked with DJ Dominic and Jake's Rockin Country Band to work collaboratively at our wedding on August 12. While Jake's took breaks, the DJ played music. It was the best option we could have done! There was never a dull moment and everything worked smoothly and seamlessly to make a great time. As well as having a DJ and band, we also had a line dancer who Dominic recommended. She was amazing!! She had people off their feet and on the dance floor the entire event and everybody had a blast dancing with her. There were a lot of people that claimed they "couldn't dance" but the line dancer made it so easy to do, anyone could do it, and they did!! The combination of all 3 groups made an amazing wedding. They didn't have me worried at all and I was satisfied with the overall production.

We booked Jake's Rockin Country Band and Dominic from Esteem Entertainment for our wedding August 19th and could not have been happier. I highly recommend them as a combination because collectively, they were able to fulfill all of our expectations - and with a guest list of 350, we had a lot of requests. Dominic was invaluable as an MC. He was able to feel the crowd and improvise as any and all weddings require. He even showed up a day early to scout the venue and get a better understanding of what the evening would entail. He was willing to go above and beyond the call of duty, and as the bride, I truly cannot imagine what we would have done without him. As far as the band goes - country music is certainly their forte. I was sad that I didn't get to meet or work with Jack, whom I worked with initially to create a contract. Also, another band member became very I'll and was unable to make it last minute, but band and DJ were able to improvise accordingly and they even re-imbursed us for the trouble. We made some last minute changes and added Dominic as a DJ per recommendation. This troupe is willing and able to travel long distances and they will likely significantly underbid their competition. One reason for this is because depending on distance traveled, you may be responsible for providing their accommodations - but they are easy to please! I was impressed by their professionalism and general desire to please the crowd. I would have liked to have them play longer!

We hired the Esteem All Stars for our outdoor wedding in Essex, CT. I can confidently say they were the best band I have ever heard at a wedding, and our guests said the same. We had 10 pieces, and wow did they sound hot! The managers, Jack and Dominick were incredibly responsive during the whole process. Getting back to me promptly via email, and having the band learn our requested songs. They absolutely blew us away with our first dance song, and played all of our requests. The keyboard and sax for our cocktail hour was the perfect addition, and helped set the tone for the evening. We were a little nervous not having heard them live before the event, but it was very evident that that was not necessary. Do not stop do not pass go, book the Esteem All Stars for your next event, they will not disappoint! Thank you so much for making our wedding the best night of our lives! We hope we get to use you guys again sometime.

DJ Dominic was fantastic! He handled our non-traditional wedding format in a very professional manner, even though it was something he had never done before. He was very accommodating, traveling all the way up to the "Berkshires" for our reception. He was easy to work with and kept was great about keeping us on track with wedding music selections right up to our wedding day.

Choosing Dominic as our DJ was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. He was extremely easy going and understanding of the "vibe" we wanted our reception to have. The mix of songs he played were very much in line with what we had conveyed, and the DJ-ing was lively and fun without being overwhelming. We were very impressed with his professionalism, ability to set up/work independently and attentiveness.

DJ Dominic worked our community's pool party this past weekend. We had 127 attendees of various ages - kids through 90 year olds. DJ Dominic was able to find a selection of music everyone could enjoy! Having worked with other DJs before through various work events and personal events, I find most in this area to be too showy and all about themselves. DJ Dominic was able to keep the party going without hogging his own microphone or making himself the star of the show. In a world of self-centered DJs, Dominic was a refreshing change. His price was MORE THAN FAIR and he made working with him so easy. DJ Dominic will be back to our community again in the near future and I have now switched to him as my preferred DJ for personal events as well.

We used DJ Dominic for our wedding, and all we can say is that he was great! Dominic kept the music flowing throughout the reception and made the crowd move!!! Also have to say that working with Dominic was one of the easier vendors, with low stress.

DJ Dominic came recommended from a close friend of ours whose wedding we had attended and had an absolute blast dancing the night away, so it was a pretty easy decision. Outside of a great dance party, he was just genuinely AMAZING to work with, from answering (very quickly I might add) all of my random questions to providing "smart" guidance on a non-typical wedding. THANK YOU!! We had a blast.

Awesome! Thanks Jack Goodman and Dominic for everything you guys did helping us prepare and then executing! My daughters wedding reception was great. Jakes Rockin Country Band was ROCKIN!! Most impressive thing was that we had all generations enjoying the music. You guys did a great job of mixing it up, giving the older folks some stuff they remembered but cool enough for young people to dance to. And the newer stuff you played was great! The last set rocked and brought everyone out. Awesome. Thanks so much for the experience. People are still talking about it.

Dominic and Nick did an amazing job at our wedding Saturday night!! We had an American/Jewish/Ecuadorian wedding and they nailed all the music we requested. The lighting also looked great! Brian and I are so thankful, everyone including ourselves had a perfect night.

We just had DJ domenic at our wedding a couple of weeks ago and all I can say is amazing ! From start to finish Domenic was extremely helpful and was able to meet all of our requests including some unique ones! We also booked our photobooth through nick associated with Domenic and all of our guests complemented him and the amazing photobooth! So many props and my husband and I received a great picture and photo Album at the end of the night! They worked very well together. I can't say enough amazing things about the both of them! If you want a stress free experience and a DJ that clearly loves what he does Domenic is your guy! Thanks again to both Domenic and nick!!!

Good Morning Jack & Dominic, Hope you enjoyed the holiday weekend. I would like to thank you and Michael for providing the entertainment and lighting for our Memorial Day event. It was a huge success. I would also like to say Michael was phenomenal. I just knew when he walked in the door he was going to be a great fit for our party. The residents danced all night and his selection of music was exactly what they love. I told him and want you to know he was the best DJ I’ve ever worked with!!

thank you!!! you guys were awesome! as the MOH, i got all the credit for your hard work!! we wanted you there to sing and dance all night!
