Five Star Entertainment was very easy to work with when preparing for the wedding. They were responsive to my emails and provided suggestions for setting my reception timeline. During the resection, the DJ and event coordinator were so helpful with ensuring everything went smoothly and sticking to the timeline while also maintaining some flexibility. My guests loved the music and I appreciated how independent they were with keeping the night going. Would highly recommend when considering a DJ in the Ft. Liberty area!

DO NOT USE OWBER IS MORE CONCERNED WITH PROFIT THEN YOUR EXPERIENCE!!!
Had a terrible experience with them DO NOT USE. THE OWNER HAS ZERO COMPASSSION AND WILL PUT HIS PROFITS ABOVE YOUR SPECIAL DAY> I had every vendor cancel on me and then when I called him to say I needed help, he told me to go screw off because I had already signed the contract, and he was gonna do me the favor and not sue me for the remaining 300$. can you believe that?
then he said it was all my fault because I went to other people and not him. DO NOT USE!!!!

Our experience with Five Star Entertainment was nothing short of pleasant! The planning, follow thru, execution and follow up exceeded our expectations. Our DJ was very professional. The worksheet was followed to the finest detail. Our guests were pleased and it was overall a great experience. I am happy we decided to go with Five Star and will continue to use them in the future.

Five Star Entertainment was an excellent vendor. They were detail oriented and helped us plan from conception to implementation. The DJ we got, Major, was excellent! He did a lot of day-of coordination, worked with our photographers easily, and guided us through the day with a deft hand. Absolutely recommend them again.

Five Star Entertainment was absolutely amazing, we can’t say enough good things about this company. My husband and I just got married this past weekend and we received so many compliments on our DJ. He was attentive, fun and easy to work with on top of being so friendly. I appreciate how easy it was to work with this company, especially with how stressful wedding planning was. They were quick to respond, helpful and so kind. Our wedding day was absolutely wonderful with their help, it was better than we could have imagined!

Cannot recommend 5 Star Entertainment highly enough. Our wedding coordinator gave us a list of vendors but mentioned offhand that 5 Star was known for getting people on the dance floor, which was definitely a priority for us.
Every step of the way, from booking to planning to set up to breakdown was so, so easy-- Vivian walked us through every deadline, and the survey that they had us fill out let us cultivate a fantastic wedding playlist. Two months later, people are still talking about how great the dancefloor and our DJ was the best wedding DJ they've seen all year.
We also used their equipment for our service, and it made things so simple. I'm glad we had them for our wedding-- it made everything a breeze. Would hire them again in a minute for literally any event.

Working with the team at Five Star entertainment was enjoyable from the beginning. Vivian was communicative and answered all questions promptly. It was great how customizable things were including the background of our photo booth pics, the monogram displayed on the wall, etc. They provided a comprehensive worksheet to complete to help us choose songs and styles of music throughout our event and really helped us get organized with songs that represented us. My favorite aspect was the "candid photographer" that took pics during the reception and were displayed on our TV/projector in real time - a super fun and interactive aspect of a wedding that I really enjoyed!

Five Star Entertainment, Don't look any further, this company is your one stop shop for DJ, lighting, photo booth, monogram, video screen and more......I was in your shoes once and nervous about choosing the perfect DJ for my wedding. I made the decision to go with Five Star Entertainment and I would choose them all over again. Major was our DJ and he kept our guest on the dance floor. Vivian was our person of contact/specialist that put everything together! Vivian answered any questions I had and assisted in giving different perspectives in regards to her experience. Let them do the work for you, choose your budget and discuss your vision with Vivian, and your wedding day will be just as you imagined and more with your DJ!

The was the most fun we’ve ever had at a wedding. Major was our DJ and he was fabulous, entertaining and very knowledgeable with everything and the timing of all the different events during our reception. All of our guest even commented on what a great job Major was doing during the event and after the event. I would highly recommend Major for any event. Thanks for a great evening!

Without the experience of Five Star, we wouldn’t have been able to have a smooth reception! Mark and his team coordinated the entire event for almost 200 people with ease!!! I requested to get through the “formalities” and get to the partying as quickly as possible and that’s EXACTLY what they did!!! Everyone knows the DJ keeps the party going so it’s very important to hire the BEST!
Vivian kept communication open for an entire year and a half! Communication and trusting your vendor to do their job is very important and Five Star experience is EXACTLY WHAT WE GOT!!!

5 Star Entertainment was a recommendation through Cape Fear Botanical Garden for our vows renewal. When I say top tier service and entertainment, I mean just that. Vivian helped make the arrangements flow so smoothly. The owner who was also the DJ had the reception rocking from start to finish without skipping a beat. He was the absolute beat. You made our event amazing.

Thank you so much for being part of our wedding day. We enjoyed getting to work with you and we’re amazed at how you made our dream day even better than we could’ve imagined. We appreciate the part you played in creating this unforgettable memory that will last a lifetime. We have yet to stop hearing “y’all wedding was lit” lol and the dance floor and sparklers played a big part in that. We cannot thank you enough for contributing to the best day of our lives.

Five Star Entertainment was amazing to work with from start to finish! From setup with Vivian Baldwin- She was on top of everything from the very beginning! She made sure to stay in touch and followed up on homework and zoom meetings (we were out of town). She knew the importance of having every detail to make sure the wedding was smooth and seemless. “Major” Darius Fryar is the absolute best DJ hands down! He worked the crowd, got everyone dancing, and “MCee’d” the entire wedding! His setup was super quick and clean. I would recommend this team to anyone and everyone!! Simply amazing! Thank you Five Star Entertainment!! You did not disappoint!

5 Star was EXACTLY what me and my husband had envisioned for our wedding day! We specifically requested Major for our DJ.. being a wedding vendor myself, I have first hand seen him in action countless of times.. and new I had to have him and his enthusiasm and passion for my own wedding! Me and my husband, my entire bridal party, family, and all of my guests truly had one of the best nights ever! We were constantly on the dance floor and we will never forget it! I will 100% recommend 5 Star to ANY couple in the process of wedding planning!

We chose Five Star for our wedding, our point of contact was Vivian. She was very nice and thoroughly explained each package options that would yield the best value in pricing based on our vision. The communication throughout the process was exceptional. On the day of our wedding, we chose the songs, but the DJ was spot on with the music. There wasn’t one person that wasn’t crying as I came down the aisle. 10/10 I recommend Five Star for any upcoming events!

There's a reason Five Star Entertainment is aptly named Five Star. They deliver exceptional service from the start, working with Vivian in the office coordinating, to finish with DJ and owner Mark Pezzella. I've seen Five Star in action and had no doubt who would be handling my son and daughter-in-law's wedding. As always, you guys went above and beyond to help make this day both amazing and fun!

Living in Fayetteville NC we’ve heard great things about Five Star Entertainment. So when it came time for our wedding in Charleston SC we contacted them. Vivian was awesome to deal with, she maintained communications with us, was very patient with us and ensured every detail was covered. We made several changes and additions to our special day and Five Star was very accommodating and provided us with many many options.
Once our special day arrived, the crew was there early to set up and what a set up it was from the up lighting, DJ set up to the wonderful photo booth it was perfect. Our DJ for the evening was the owner Mark Pezzella himself. From providing sound for the ceremony to the on site reception, He kept everyone entertained as did his staff and everone danced the night away. Superb candid photos.
The only thing we would do over for our wedding was to have Five Star Provide the day of coordinating as well (its provided but we opted to go with a wedding coordinator we had paid for and it was a huge mistake). Mark not only pointed out many issues that the wedding coordinator and photographer were not doing and took the “bull by the horns” and got our evening back on track and kept the evening fluid and special.
No matter how small or large your needs are you should definitely give Five Star Entertainment a call you won’t be disappointed. Like the old saying you get what you pay for well we got the best. We plan on calling Five Star for any future DJing needs.

Our DJs were amazing! They did exactly what we imagined. We loved their energy throughout the whole night. We were late arriving due to wedding pictures. The DJs adapted to this and played only the most popular songs from our pre-made playlist. We loved having an introduction song for each member of our wedding party! So many guests have told us they never even had time to sit or use the bathroom beaus the songs kept making them want to be on the dance floor! Highly recommend.

Their manager Vivian was very helpful and accommodating throughout the planning process. The dj was very friendly and apologetic for the mistakes he made with the music throughout our event. However, we feel that more attention should’ve been payed to other musical aspects such as the timing of the songs, and the music that was being played.

The service couldn't have been better! I would use Five Star for any future events. From start to finish everyone involved was extremely thorough and professional. They worked on every detail leading up to our wedding day, and let us choose everything.
During the wedding was no different. They let us adjust on the fly, and were great entertainers! We had a smaller wedding for the venue, and they did an outstanding job making it feel like a huge event. The DJs made a great effort to get everyone involved and keep the energy up. We loved it!

The Photo Booth crew was outstanding, somehow managed to broadcast all the pictures that the guests were taking on a screen. Both DJs were super accommodating to my latin background and played songs that probably americans never heard of! Highly recommended.

Five star was awesome! I enjoyed them from day one during our consultation. They did my sister's wedding in 2012 and did absolutely amazing, but since I work in events myself I had to compare other vendors. Five star out ranked other individuals throughout the Carolina's with no competition. Vivian walks you through EVERYTHING and exemplifies top customer service. The day of runs smoothly and everything is done with professional class. I recommend them to everyone. I live in DC so I had to plan my wedding out of town and they still utilized technology to make sure my day was the best.

I was able to use this company not only for the music entertainment, but as wedding and reception coordinators. The lighting during my reception was amazing. The photo booth with the venue as the background topped it all off. I thank Mr. Mark and Mrs. Vivian for being so helpful, patient, and making my wedding day a day I will never forget along with my guests! 5 star is truly a blessing and is constantly in my prayers!

We used Five-Star Entertainment for our wedding reception and they are "The Best" in the business. We used their DJ services and the photo booth. The photo booth was a hit with everyone and was a fun add on for the reception. Mark Pezzella was our DJ and MC and he was amazing. He was there early making sure that the caterer was in place, as well as the florist and he even lit the candles before we arrived at the venue. Everything was so organized, we had several people tell us how organized everything was, and how smoothly everything went, even the buffet line was orderly. We liked the fact that Mark and his staff met with us a few weeks before the wedding to get names and numbers and to plan the entire program for the evening. We have attended events where the DJ runs out to get this info when the bride and groom arrive, but not Five-Star. They are very professional. My mom and I did not have to worry about a thing, Mark was a great coordinator and MC and he kept the dance floor full the entire evening. We paid a few extra dollars because we requested a specific DJ but their prices are reasonable and their services are worth the money. We will surely be using them again and we recommend them to everyone. Five-Star Entertainment made our wedding reception a night to remember.

Mark Pezella and his staff at Five Star Entertainment were exceptional! From the 1st meeting through the end of the event, their focus was on customer service and making all our dreams come true! We were lucky enough to have Mark at our wedding in May of this year. The dynamic room lighting was breathtaking as we walked into the tent. It was just like a Fairy Tale. Mark is more than JUST A DJ...he is an event coordinator. He introduced the wedding party, and kept things moving right along with the cake cutting, bouquet toss and garter toss. The Anniversary Dance was a hit and got EVERYONE out on the dance floor. He knew exactly how to read the crowd and when to really crank it up! The photo booth was a hit! We had toddlers to grandparents striking a pose...also served as great party favors! I highly recommend Five Star Entertainment...they are professional, courteous, knowledgeable and full of energy and enthusiasm. My family has already booked him for my brother's wedding next summer!

The monogram design and display was what I hoped for and more. Mark was the reception coordinated and made sure that everyone was happy and entertained.
