There aren’t enough kind words to say about this couple and their exceptional services they provide. Both were 100% determined to make my day the best possible.
Bryanna not only s...
tepped in and helped coordinate my day to make sure things happened when others I hired specifically for that had not. She helped bustle my dress, change my shoes, made sure my bouquet made it home safe with me ALL WHILE TAKING THE MOST GORGEOUS PHOTOS!
Anthony also made sure to make this day special for my husband and I. Both were responsive and great to work with.
I could not recommend them enough.
We hired Anthony after meeting him at a bridal show for our 2020 wedding. Covid shut down our plans and we have yet to be able to reschedule even though we have paid in full. I’ve ...
sent emails and called but no answer. Every other vendor was very easy to work with considering the circumstances but not this one….
Party Starters were so easy to work with and very professional. Their web portal is a great offering and really made it easy. We also used their photo booth and were super happy wi...
th the images as well as the setup. Also they have a wide variety of add ins to really build the package you want. Great people who really know what they’re doing. Trust in them to make it a good party and you won’t be disappointed! Anthony knew exactly the right flow and points to hit to keep the party pumping. They didn’t just start the party, they made the party!!
Anthony and his wife are two amazing people that were fun and great to work with. They gave us everything we needed plus some. The two of them focus on the details to make your day...
perfect and special as you would dream of it being. I highly recommend these two and plan to refer as much as possible. 🙂
This was the one vendor I had my husband take care of researching. I compiled an initial list of DJs that were recommended and then he set up a few appointments with the companies...
he liked. Anthony with Party Starters Tampa was the very first one we met, and it went fantastic. We loved Anthony’s energy, his attention to detail, his background in radio, and knowledge of the business and our venue. He already came highly recommended, and his price was under what we had budgeted for. We were so impressed we didn’t end up meeting with any other DJs! Unfortunately, at the end of February Anthony had some health issues and informed us he would not be able to personally be at our wedding. He offered to provide a replacement DJ, and we were all able to meet and discuss things. A few weeks later when COVID-19 hit, Party Starters was very proactive in letting us know they would not cancel on us, and would work with us if we needed to make changes. Thankfully, either Anthony or the replacement DJ we were already set to use in April are able to be with us at our December reception. We can’t wait to get the party started!
**Only giving four stars now since we have not seen Party Starters in action yet**
Bryanna & Anthony went above and beyond our expectations from the moment we met them all the way through the reception. Anthony did a flawless job in helping us pick the best music...
suited for our party, keeping the party flowing, and keeping everyone on their feet dancing. Not enough amazing things can be said about Bryanna. Her attention to detail, attentive listening to our hopes, quality suggestions, quick thinking/flexibility, and ability to pull it all together in a beautiful symphony was pure amazement. She went beyond her job description on multiple occasions. I felt like Bryanna & Anthony were just as invested as my own family in helping make our day truly special. I can't express enough words of gratitude for how thankful I am I used their day of planning, DJ/party, and PhotoBooth services for our special day. ~ Ashley & Vini

You need Party Starters at your wedding!
Anthony and Bryanna did an incredible job at our wedding. They were life of the party! They did an awesome job keeping the flow of our big ...
day.
They had a great set up from the start. Anthony and Bryanna were well in communication with the venue coordinator, the officiant, and whoever else they needed to get the ceremony flowing beautifully on the day.
Our package included the Day of Coordinator, which was well worth it! Bryanna was one of the few people who really helped made our dream wedding day run smoothly and dare I say it.... perfect! She was there for me when it came to needing help with decision making and just straight up helping me keep my sanity. She finds time to be available for you and does an incredible job with the planning process. Anthony kept our families out of their seats and on the dance floor throughout the whole reception party time! He does an excellent job reading the crowd and choosing music that almost everyone wants to party to. They had a monogram made in our name that looked really nice in the reception area. The uplighting was excellent. Our guests had a great time with their photo booth, which was also included in our package!
They really went above and beyond making the day perfect for my husband and I. We really can't thank them enough!
If you want a day-of-coordinator and DJ/MC that goes above and beyond to making your day the way YOU want, then consider Party Starters. I 100% recommend them!
Anthony and his team were awesome! I found them at a wedding expo, and I'm super glad we did. We received so many compliments from our guests on how our wedding was the best weddin...
g people have been to in a long time and that had a lot to do with Party Starters. They kept my crowd dancing till the very end. I can't thank them enough!
10/10 would recommend Anthony AND Bryanna!! Anthony was who I hired first - and I admit it was for his pricing (WHICH IS REALLY, REALLY GOOD) but I am so glad that I did. He was pr...
ofessional, very communicative (for an anxious bride like me) and he knew what kind of music and mood I wanted after having talked and REALLY pulled it off. The wedding was a GREAT party, all because he was there!!
I also hired Bryanna through Party Starters as my coordinator, and that was without a doubt, the best money we spent during the whole process. I can say, without a shadow of a doubt that the wedding would not have gone over as well without her. She talked me through every crazy question, thought and what if. She set up all of my intricate crazy centerpieces, archway, a BIKE! and literally everything else. I cannot thank her enough - AND she took it all down!!! I know this is what you should be paying a coordinator to do but Bryanna did it without complaint and was just the sweetest, most perfect coordinator for us. I am SO glad Anthony suggested her to us. THANK YOU BOTH SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING. If I ever get married again you guys are my people!!!!!
I can't even begin to explain how amazing they were! From Dj to MC to coordinating, they did it all. They played every type of music we wanted, played games and kept the schedule m...
oving. Professional, experienced and best customer service. I won't ever refer anyone else!
Anthony did a fantastic job with our reception! We were thrilled with the music selection and our DJ choice! The group photo prior to starting the party was the BEST idea! Thank yo...
u again!!
Anthony and the entire party starters team were wonderful! They went above and beyond to make my day special and kept everything on track!
DJ Anthony was awesome! He was very professional and responsive. The dance floor was packed all night and everyone commented on how great the DJ was. Definitely recommend!
Anthony is a magician. I swear. My beachfront summer wedding was insanely fun and all around perfect and a huge part of it was because of him! 1 - Communication. Hands down - the b...
est of any person I worked with over two years planning my wedding - 100% available and responds right away. 2 - Price and Value - OMG - we got everything and more than we needed for hundreds less than competitors with shaky reviews. 3 - Professionalism. Anthony knows his stuff and is a true master at his craft. He mixed and emceed our entire five hours (ceremony and reception) and didn't skip a beat, pronounce a name wrong, or fall behind on schedule. Arrived early. Stayed late. Met us in person multiple times beforehand. 4 - Personality. Honest, genuine, funny, gets people who can't figure out how much rap vs country to play before it gets uncomfortable - just a cool guy! Our wedding was non-stop dancing without the cha-cha slides and typical things - he mixed it up, and gave me, my husband and our closest group the night of our lives! Anthony made my wedding - he's not just a party starter. He IS the party! I'd pay him ten times what he charged if I could afford it because what he provides is far greater than what he charges. If you're calling around to a few Dj's - make sure you call Anthony, too! You must meet him! I still can't get over how perfect the blend of music was and how much non-stop fun we all had. All of these years of dreaming of the perfect wedding and it happened! Thank you so much, Anthony!
We recently had our wedding with Anthony from Party Starters Tampa. He really kept the party going at our wedding! To say they did a great job is an understatement. From the moment...
we met Anthony, he immediately captured our attention. From his knowledge of how wedding receptions flow, to the music choices, to the games that he included, etc., everything was fantastic. Anthony was very professional, very flexible, and went above and beyond to make our day extra special. Party Starters Tampa outdid themselves by creating a fun, engaging atmosphere through the use of numerous uplights (which completely changed the ballroom), excellent song choices, and adapting their set to the audience. We would highly recommend Party Starters Tampa for any event.
The DJ literally makes or breaks your wedding and Manny was AWESOME! Working with Anthony from Party Starters to set everything up was super easy. They are extremely efficient and ...
know all the right questions to ask. They let us personalize things and make playlists as we wanted and provided the rest. Manny was super fun and kept our wedding on schedule while keeping it relaxing for us. The compatibility game was so fun!! Definitely 5 stars!!
I knew i hired the perfect Dj from my first meeting with Anthony! He was professional, organized and i could tell he knew what he was doing! my dance floor was never empty. Jackie...
the day of coordinator was ontop of everything and consistently making sure i was happy and when my bustle broke she whipped out safety pins and saved the day! The photo booth ran by Mike was such a fun addition and he was awesome to work with!
Party starters was awesome. Very experienced, and the online system with must play, do not play, and play if you can is clutch. It made it so wonderful since it's your day you ca...
n be super specific to what you want to hear. The uplighting was an awesome included touch - no extra charge! Did both the ceremony and the reception, and the sound was SOUND-sational. Very good exciting atmosphere. The wedding planning booklet was great and really helped with making decisions. Great experience, have already recommended him to other friends who are getting married.
Party Starters was so fun and upbeat at my 11AM, Sunday brunch wedding! You definitely wont regret choosing them!
