Freddy and VIP DJ Entertainment were so great to work with! We appreciated the professionalism, enthusiasm, and the prompt communication for any questions, comments/concerns, or ideas. We also appreciated the affordability and close proximity the business provides. Everything turned out wonderful and fun! Freddy kept our friends up on the dance floor for pretty much the whole night! What I really appreciated was the open mindedness and flexibility that Freddy provided to create our perfect entrance. We wanted the music to start at a certain time, what we wanted him to say, and he followed through with everything! We were very pleased with our experience!

We cannot say enough amazing things about DJ Fred! From start to finish, he absolutely nailed it. He kept our crowd alive all night long! There was never a moment when the dance floor was empty or people weren’t rushing to the dance floor if they had just taken a seat. He managed to perfectly balance a very specific playlist and a long “do not play” list, and somehow still made sure every request we had was played exactly how we wanted.
Beyond the music, DJ Fred went above and beyond to keep the day running smoothly. He helped calm the bride and groom when things got hectic, kept everything perfectly on schedule, and made sure the energy never dipped. His professionalism, attention to detail, and ability to read the room were unmatched.
We’ve gotten so many compliments from guests saying it was one of the most fun weddings they’ve ever been to, and that’s all thanks to him. If you want a DJ who truly cares about your vision and can keep the party going all night, DJ Fred is the one!

We had 93 guests at our wedding with a mix of cultures and DJ Ren did a great job keeping the party going and getting everyone out on the dance floor. We had a wonderful time and I would recommend him for anyone looking for a great party! He also handled our wedding ceremony and all transitions nicely despite one song for our ceremony being missed when the groomsman came out. Only the groom noticed. Overall we had a wonderful experience and would recommend DJ Ren to anyone looking for a DJ to handle their wedding ceremony and reception.

We had the privilege of having DJ Fred for our wedding at Downingtown Country Club in October of 2025. He was extremely accommodating and kept the dance floor pumping all night. He made changes super easy and was everything we wanted. Couldn’t recommend VIP Entertainment enough!!

DJ Gino came and did the music for our wedding this past weekend. He was able to read the room extremely well and I don't think there was a single moment where the dance floor did not have people on it. My dad mentioned missing a Yes concert in his toast and Gino made sure to play a bunch of Yes throughout dinner service. My dad was absolutely thrilled.
Gino played one of the slow songs I requested as our last dance, which was not how I planned it, but made the night so much more special than it would have been had he played it earlier. That is 100% one of my highlights of the night, and I've been watching the video of our last dance over and over again.
Thank you so much Gino for making our night so special!!

Gino, did an excellent job for our wedding! The dance floor was full all night and the music he played appealed to our age diverse crowd. His interaction with the guests on the dance floor was a perfect balance for the night. We met with Gino prior to our wedding to make sure all the details were in order and he was easy to communicate with. Thank you, Gino for making our night unforgettable (our legs hurt from dancing so much!)

We were lucky enough to book DJ Fred for our wedding. Booking through VIP was super easy. I sent an inquiry and heard from Fred right away to go through the various package options. The cost was much more affordable than I was expecting. Fred communicated with us through the wedding planning process and made song choice and event planning one of the easiest parts. On the day of our wedding, we were nervous that our DJ would not play the songs as we requested, but DJ Fred did absolutely everything we asked and more. We had a blast and would recommend to anyone!

DJ Mike was the ABSOLUTE best!!! He was such an incredible part of our wedding! The reception was truly everything we had dreamed of! The vibe was absolutely perfect from start to finish. He read the room so well, the music flowed seamlessly, and our guests were on the dance floor all night long!! We have had so many people tell us how much fun they had, and it's clear that the energy you brought helped make the night truly so special and one unforgettable celebration.
DJ Mike knew that we loved Kenny Chesney and he sprinkled some of his songs throughout the night! That meant so much to my fiancé and I. Hearing them throughout the night made everything feel that much more personal and special to us!
We’re so grateful to you for helping make our wedding so magical and unforgettable. YOU WERE AMAZING!!!!!!! Thank you again for everything!

I was so picky on music leading up to my wedding. I was worried about finding the mix of what we want and what the people want. As soon as I had the final call with Fred I was at ease. I left it in his hands and he knew exactly what to play. He read the crowd very well. The whole night I was like “I love this song”. I did not leave the dance floor! When we asked, he would deliver with a smooth transition. I received so many compliments on how much fun people had. We had those moments where things didn’t go exactly as planned but Fred was very flexible and calm making adjustments. If you are unsure look no further! you will be in good hands here

Gino & VIP Entertainment were fabulous. Gino took the time out of his busy days to have multiple phone conversations with us about the big day. He supported us in creating our own playlists for cocktail hour and dinner and even got Apple Music for us. He created a special mix for our first dance song & was kind, attentive, professional, and a true pleasure to work with. He brought the energy on the dance floor and played dance songs that our guests and we requested. Overall, it was a 10/10 experience. We were so lucky to work with someone like Gino, thanks for everything!

From the very beginning, VIP DJ Entertainment has been so great. From our first phone call I know we made the right choice. When we chose DJ Ren, we knew our wedding was going to be awesome. The music is one of the most important parts of a wedding. We wanted to make sure our dance floor was full at all times. And that it was!! DJ Ren was always in contact with us leading up to our wedding answering any questions or requests we had. We are so thankful! If you want a full dance floor at your wedding, make sure you book DJ Ren!

Our Dj was Mike Rossi and we could not recommend him enough! He assured us way ahead of time that everything would go smoothly and it did. He brought the energy and had everyone on the dance floor ALL night all while sticking to our song preferences! People who never dance were dancing.

We used VIP for our October 2024 wedding and they were wonderful! They came highly recommended from our venue and did not disappoint. Their programming website was easy to use and helped personalize our day while also trusting them to fill in the rest. Mike did a great job of reading the room and taking our requests into consideration. Our dance floor was full all night, which was very important to me!

Working with VIP DJ Entertainment, specifically Dan Lizzette, was one of the best decisions that we made for our wedding! Dan was carefully planned, listened to everything that we wanted to happen at our wedding, and provided his own ideas and feedback that made the day even better. Our guests loved him, the music was INCREDIBLE, and he really made the day flow perfectly. Working with VIP DJ was so easy and so worth it!

We used VIP DJ for our wedding at the end of September and they were awesome! Fred Alvisi did such a fantastic job with our evening - we had a lot of guests tell us they loved the DJ (even our friend that is a DJ)! He was so professional throughout the entire planning period, and was very organized. He sends out forms to help you pick songs for different aspects of the night and goes through a detailed timeline the week of the wedding. He has also done wedding at our venue before which was so helpful for us, we knew we were in good hands. Our dance floor was lively from the moment it opened until the end of the night

Im just going to lead by saying Fred of VIP did a fantastic job. From set up to break down they did absolutely everything they could to accommodate our requests and wishes. We were by no means the run of the mill experience for VIP and simply put I could not have been more pleased. Fred worked with us consistently to meet our expectations, even going beyond VIP's norm to make sure that everything went the way we wanted. From the (Im so glad we did this) Photobooth recommendation to ceremony inputs/suggestions, I dont know if the event would have gone as well if someone else had been helping us curate the finer points of the evening.
Sound Quality was 10/10
- During the ceremony, speeches, cocktail hour, and once it was time to cut loose everything was the perfect amount of loud.
Communication was also a 10/10
-from the moment we booked with VIP, Fred was in constant communication with us regarding planning, selection, set up, accessories
and announcements
-he would nudge us about deadlines, which was critical for us as we did all of our planning and little things slip by you here and there
-day before and day of, I had no worries about where he was, or if he was good to go.
Fred called me to let me know he was on site and then got in contact with our coordinator and the rest was history
Execution 10/10
This is by far the most important detail for the DJ aspect of this interaction, knowing how to read the room and make changes accordingly to keep things lively is critical to having a fun evening, song choices, timing, and cuts can be the difference between a good and bad evening... Safe to say, he delivered.
But having done so, WHILE ALSO working within the very specific vibe we had in mind for the evening and KILLING IT could not have been more critical to the success of our wedding.
EVERYONE was constantly dancing, drinking, moving and talking and laughing. Young or old everyone was having a ball and we dropped everything from Doja to George Straight!
You did a great job man!
**I wasnt sure how to soft ball this bit, so Im just going to say it:
If you arent sure about the photobooth, I can tell you I wasn't certain at first either, thankfully Fred and My Wife convinced me, because once the evening got rolling...watching all of my friends and fam put on these corny hats and playful props while acting like clowns and carrying on and drinking/partying was absolutely worth every penny. Especially now after the fact sitting here flipping through the album they made us from the booth, in combination with the pictures/videos everyone took of everyone getting in and out of the photobooth(having a ball) I am SO GLAD we didnt skip out on the oppertunity. Simply put this was a priceless experience, and if you have plenty of heads at your wedding/event dont even hesitate, it will 100% be worth it.
I just want TLDR this here by saying
Fred did a great job, Im glad we booked with vip, and I couldnt be happier with the way everything unfolded. I honestly can not appropriately speak on how well Fred did putting up with all of us and keeping us entertained.
And I couldn't be more grateful. Thanks again Fred(and VIP) we could not have done it with out yall!

Freddy was ridiculously amazing right from the beginning with a no-pressure demeanor which made us feel comfortable right away. He is professional, outgoing, and makes you feel extremely welcomed! Right away, he asked about our vision and what we wanted for our wedding. Upon several discussions, he added his own flair and we put the ball in his hands. When we arrived at the venue, everything was amazing. Music played in the background for the ceremony, audio was spot on, the cocktail hour was fantastic, and the party was flawless. He advised us about the freeze frame wedding dance, where the bride and groom go from table to table, to get pictures with everyone. That was an enormous time saver and it shows the small touches mean a lot to him! Freddy was able to read the room and got so many people motivated to get up and dance. We had so many individuals say they never had so much fun and never danced so much at a wedding. Freddy is truly top notch from the beginning to the end! He will get the party started and continue it through to the last song of the night. Haley and I thank you for such an amazing event!

Freddy got there early to set up and coordinated with our caterer on the day of to make sure everyone was on the same page. He did a great job reading the room and matching the vibe to make sure everyone had a great time on the dance floor all night. He even checked in with us a few times to make sure everything was how we wanted it. The music and atmosphere was great and the pricing was a great value. We would highly recommend

As far as cost goes I felt like it was a great rate for how much value and fun we got out of our night and we could make payments whenever we needed to during our planning process online which was super convenient. I would pick this company over and over again if I had another chance!
