Reviews for Affordable Entertainment DJ's
GUEST




Jerry was awesome! I was worried about everyone dancing but I had nothing to worry about at all! He made sure there was plenty of dancing with a great selection of music! Excellent work all around! Thank you!
GUEST




I would definitely recommend Affordable Entertainment DJ's. They were absolutely wonderful working with us before our wedding and did a great job of getting all the wedding guests up on the dance floor. Our guests had a great time and commented on the great DJ service that we had. THank you again!!
GUEST

GUEST




I highly recommend Jerry and Alan, they were wonderful to work with and made the night a ton of fun. I spoke with Jerry when looking for DJ's and he was so easy to talk to and was very understanding of what I wanted even when I wasn't necessarily clear. They worked with me to make sure my husband and I had a great night without going over our budget. The online paperwork about reception details and song choices was a huge help and a lot of fun to go through. It allowed my husband and I to get ourselves organized and put Jerry and Alan on the same page as us. They played every song we asked for and if there were any questions or issues they found husband or me immediately to run it by us before proceeding.

I was just married on 9/10/11 on the beach in Cape May. Thanks to Jerry, our ceremony was coordinated beautifully! He really went above and beyond his "dj duties" and helped out tremendously! So I wanted to comment on the wonderful job he did BEFORE we even got to the reception hall. Speakers worked great and everyone was able to hear the ceremony just fine.
The music played at the reception was wonderful! I completed a list to give Jerry an idea of what type of music I like, but told him he was the professional so he could mix it up and "do his thing". Well everything was perfect. Somehow all of my favorites were played, along with some great surprise songs. He interacted with the crowd very well and was very personable. He even took some great pictures for me! My mom made sure to get some business cards and we will DEFINITELY refer this company in the future (and use for any future parties we will need a DJ for!). I give 5 stars across the board!

Jerry did such a wonderful job at our Cape May wedding. The planning process was so nice and smooth it put our minds at ease, knowing we chose a DJ who was well organized. Jerry covered all the details with us for our special day. We planned out every part of our wedding, and Jerry double checked everything.
The music for the ceremony was beautiful.... not too loud, nor too soft, and sounded nice and clear. The microphone setups were great as well. Jerry's set ups were all nice and neat. For the reception the music was fantastic. Jerry played exactly what we wanted and kept the flow of the day moving nicely. When people were dancing, he kept that kind of music going. He did a nice job transitioning through the different types of music.
We can't thank Jerry enough for the wonderful day that he provided us with through his music. Thank you so much! We highly recommend Affordable Entertainment DJ's!

They might be a little on the expensive side, but they are worth every penny. I had so many guests come to me as the groom and rave about how impressed they were with the DJ's. It made me very proud that we chose them. They are very flexible with the payment plans...I paid over the course of 18 months and they were ok with it. We have no complaints...only wonderful things to say about them. They took care of everything and made it very simple...which I cannot say about our bakery! they were awful! Pick these guys...you will not regret it!
GUEST




Jerry and Alan were great! They were super nice and professional, played all the songs we asked them to, and kept the dance floor going all night. Their prices were also very reasonable. I would definitely recommend them!
GUEST




Jerry and Alan were great! The dance floor was packed from beginning to end! They understood the type of music we wanted to hear and they stuck to it. Our wedding pictures show just how much fun everyone! We highly recommend Jerry and Alan and Affordable Entertainment Djs!
GUEST




Great job! Found all the piano versions of pop songs for our ceremony, made our recessional timing just right and helped make our intros fun, as well as kept the night moving through toasts and special events, and everyone dancing! Thanks!!
GUEST




My husband and I were very pleased with Affordable Entertainment DJs. We had Tom Pacitti playing guitar for our ceremony and cocktail hour, and DJ Dan entertaining our guests at the reception. They both did an excellent job. We received many compliments from our guests and also from the other vendors at our wedding. There was one glitch with the music for the ceremony, but it was taken care of in a smooth, professional manner, and our guests never knew. Thanks again for everything!
GUEST




Jerry, you were awesome and and made our day even more special.
Thank you so much

GUEST




We are so glad we chose this company for our wedding DJ. They are all very professional and friendly. Everyone loved DJ Dancin Dan and he really helped make our night go smoothly! He was happy to add in our additional little touches and made our night so much fun! Our guests had a blast and he kept everyone on their feet the entire night! We couldn't have picked a better DJ!
GUEST




Jerry was very accommodating to everything we asked for regarding both music and how we wanted the day to flow. He was very professional and appropriately dressed. We highly recommend him!
GUEST




We were married in Beach Haven, NJ and had an outdoor reception at a fabulous Ocean Block residence.
Our DJ was amazing! Our guests had such a wonderful time dancing that we had to extend our reception for 1 hour! Affordable Enterainment DJs staff was so accommadating - changing the music as each guest put in their requests with no delay.
I have been told by many of our guests that our reception was the most fun they had ever had at a wedding and I give kudos to the DJ for making that happen!
GUEST




Jerry and Al were awesome and the perfect DJ's for our wedding reception! Jerry was quick to respond to my emails and calls prior to the wedding, and made my wedding planning easy. During the reception, they made sure they infused our own personal style into the cocktail hour (a little bit of country), and kept the dance floor packed with our family and friends for the rest of the night. We received tons of compliments on what a great mix and variety of music they played. I would absolutely recommend Affordable Entertainment DJ's!!
GUEST




We had a great time at our wedding reception. The DJs were great! You guys played all the music everyone wanted to hear and had everyone out of their seats dancing, laughing and having a great time! No one could have done a better job. We are still getting compliments from our guests! Thanks so much for everything. We will definately recommend and use you for anything that may come up in the future.
Sincerely,
Danny and Jody
GUEST




Jerry and Alan,
We want to thank Affordable Entertainment DJ's and both you guys for the outstanding service you guys provided at our daughter's wedding and reception at
First Landing State Park in Virginia Beach, VA. The wireless sound system (microphone and speakers) and
music that you provided for the marriage ceremony at the beach was
impeccable. You guys did an awesome job coordinating and announcing all the
reception activities, kept the dance floor jumping, and made the entire
reception very memorable. Many of our guests stated that it was one of the
best weddings they had attended.
Sincerely,
Gary and Carol Whitley

Jerry did a fantastic job. He was very helpful the day of the wedding as we made some extra requests on the spot during the reception. The music was great, not too loud, which our older guests appreciated. All of the songs we requested to play were played, and our guests had a great time.
I also appreciated the run through on the phone a couple days before so I knew what to expect that day. Especially going over how to pronounce the wedding party members names for the introductions.
We had a fantastic time and I will request Affordable Entertainment DJ's to anyone who wants one less thing to worry about during their reception!

I am a professional photographer who worked a late June wedding with Jerry & Alan (6/25/2011).
Obviously, being a photographer I can't accurately rate their customer service in the areas of responsiveness/quality of service, but it appeared to me that they responded to every guest's song request and they seemed to have a great rapport with the bride & groom!
As far as professionalism, and flexibility - (from what I could assess) they were top notch! Alan immediately & warmly introduced himself to me at the very beginning of the reception and once Jerry was done being tied up doing his set-up thing, he did the same. They always kept me abreast of every upcoming event in the evening with plenty of advanced notice (i.e. dances, bouquet/garter toss, special songs, etc) which is very important for your photographer to adequately capture every important moment!
Many couples don't know how important it is for your vendors to be able to work well with the other vendors at your event! These guys were fantastic!
Here's a great shot of Jerry & Alan IN ACTION!

Thank you so much for playing at our wedding! We had an awesome time, and we
had tons of complements on the music! Everyone was asking where the dj came
from! It turned out to be the perfect wedding, with great music, good food, and
awesome people. Dan and I couldn't have asked for more, we're both still on
cloud nine. Next time we have another event, we know who we will be calling!!
Again, thank you so much for helping to make our wedding a dream.
GUEST




The music selection was truly outstanding and the DJs really did an amazing job - we could really feel the energy and it definitely made for a FUN wedding. Our guests are still talking about it and telling us what a great time they had. We really owe it to the DJs because we couldn't have asked for better music and energy! I have been to weddings where the DJ just isn't very into what he does, and that kind of rubs off and the guests can sense that. But these guys really got out there, livened things up and really encouraged people to get out on the dance floor - that is no easy task! They were really able to get a feel for what the crowd was looking for and we truly appreciate that. We would definitely recommend them to any couple!
GUEST




Jerry and Alan were a wonderful DJ/MC pair. We received many compliments on the music selection, the volume and the variety of music played. Prior to the wedding, we mostly dealt with Jerry, who was nothing but professional, helpful, friendly and great. He responded to all my calls and questions with professionalism and speed. He allowed us input on our playlist, while also giving us great suggestions. The weekend before, we spoke with Jerry and went over everything, so that my husband and I would know exactly what would be happening on the night of the wedding. We also went over the song selections to make sure we were all on the same page. On the night of the wedding, Alan was a wonderful MC, who was fun, relaxed and really got the crowd up and dancing. Affordable Entertainment DJ is a great company that takes pride in their work, which is evident in the excellent service they provide. We couldn't have been happier with the service and the value. We will definitely be using them again for future parties and will be recommending them to all of our friends and family. Thanks again Jerry and Alan!!
GUEST




Ed was great, just married feb 11 2012. Booked dj only one week before, Jerry was very accommodating to our needs, and very reasonably priced. Would recommend to any bride and groom. Thanks Ed and Jerry...
GUEST




Everything was great on my wedding day! The only thing that was brought to my attention by my mother was the fact that we had selected songs a couple weeks before the wedding and many of them were not played. I would like to say that DJ Dan did go over the list with me thoroughly and did explain that he would try to play as many of the songs as possible. So, in the future, I guess I would just have selected the most important songs prior to the wedding, that I wanted to have played as opposed to selecting enough to cover the full 4 hrs. Other than that, everything was great and DJ Dan did a wonderful job of communicating with me prior to the wedding and on the wedding day. Thanks again for contributing to my special day, it meant a lot!
Vendor response to review
Jessica was exteremly happy with our performance, she however did choose more music than could be played due to time constraints, and was made aware that we would play as many as possible. We did not deviate from her play list or guest requests. We love ya Jess!
GUEST




These guys are spot on! They call you back. They show up on time to any appointment you make prior to the actual event. The website is easy to use so you can set up your music. They were very helpful and they made the night fun. Thanks to all of them. I wish I could remember all of their names, but Greg, you are the man!
Thanks Again,
The Keatings
GUEST




Everything was great - except that the DJ took 3 or 4 times to play the correct song when the bride was about to walk down the aisle. He was supposed to play 'here comes the bride' - the classic song that's used for this moment.
Vendor response to review
At Affordable Entertainment DJs, we strive for perfection at every one of the many events that we do annually. We are usually successful as evidenced by our overall review ratings. Unfortunately, once in a blue moon , there is a technical glitch. In this case it was corrected by our DJ in a matter of seconds, and, as stated by our customer, The rest of the night was "Great".
GUEST




I definitely had a great time at my wedding, and it's mostly because of the dj. I was kind of leery about using a dj instead of a live band, but in the end I figured guests would have more fun if we didn't have to worry about the quality of singing. These guys made it an awesome party. All of my friends who requested songs heard them, and we were all on the dance floor all night.
Jerry is best! He keeps the dance floor packed all night and plays the best dance music. For a great DJ call Jerry and he will make your wedding unforgettable!
Affordable Entertainment DJ's are an excellent choice for your special event! Jerry & Alan are hard-working, yet easy going and very fun personalities! They'll keep you & your guests on the floor all night!
From the perspective of a professional wedding photographer, one very important and often overlooked factor is the DJ's ability to interact with the other vendors at the event, keeping the videographer, photographer, etc informed about what special events are coming next so those moments and memories are adequately captured (special dances, cake cutting, bouquet/garter toss, etc). These guys were FANTASTIC about this, which made it so easy for us to catch everything as the event unfolded!
I had the pleasure of working with Affordable Entertainment just this last weekend, and I was totally impressed at their professionalism, personality, and style. It is tempting for a couple on a budget (and EVERY couple is on a budget of some size....) to think that anyone with a system and a microphone can host their wedding, but it takes a real pro to manage the flow of the ceremony and reception, and do all of that tastefully.
I would highly recommend them, and I look forward to working with them again.
About Affordable Entertainment DJ's
FAQ for Affordable Entertainment DJ's
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why are your prices so low?
Don’t let our name fool you! We are Affordable - not Cheap! If you’ve been surfing the net looking for a DJ you’ve probably noticed that we are one of the very few that list our prices. That’s because we have a different philosophy than most. Our goal is to provide the Best Entertainment at the Best Price anywhere! As a result we do not alter our pricing based on event date, venue, or geographical area. While it is true that quality entertainment may be the most important ingredient in planning a successful wedding reception, that shouldn’t mean that you need to break the bank to get it.
Q: Besides Price, Why should we choose Affordable Entertainment DJ’s?
1. We understand how important this day is to you and we will prepare for it as if it were our own Wedding.
2. Personalized Service - We will not book your date and forget you. We will be with you every step of the way to answer questions, offer suggestions, and help in any way that we can.
3. We are Professionals - From our Attire to our Equipment to our Performance, Attention to detail makes us the best. We know how to read a crowd, keep the music flowing, and keep your guests dancing!
4. The Music - Our digital sound systems feature top brand components including Yamaha, Mackie, Fender, Crate, Pro Audio, Audio-Technica, Shure, Yorkville, and more. Our extensive music library is computer catalogued, making any song available virtually instantly .
Q: Is setup time included in your price?
You never have to pay for setup or takedown time. We typically arrive an hour prior to your scheduled start time and will be set up long before your first guest arrives. But it’s on our own time! The same applies for takedown time after your event.
Q: Do you take breaks?
Our services are uninterrupted and non-stop. From our scheduled start time to our scheduled end time we will never stop the music. Much unlike bands that need to stop and rest, we can just keep playing straight through your event!
Q: Can we choose the music to be played at our event?
Absolutely! We’ve had customers that have chosen every song for the entire event and others that have left the music selection completely up to us. Our recommendation is to provide us with a list of "must play" songs and list of "play if possible" songs. This will leave plenty of room for requests from your guests and DJ selections. You may also stipulate that we not take requests from you guests. But have fun and select music you want to hear and dance to. After all, it’s your event!
Q: Can we have a Do Not Play List?
Absolutely! Not everyone enjoys the same music, and while most guest lists include a variety of ages and tastes, there may be some songs or types of music that you absolutely do not want to hear.
Q: What if we want a song that you don’t have?
While our song music library encompasses tens of thousands of hits from the 1940s to today, it’s possible that you may have a few requests that are not in our library. Our Event Music Planner form Includes space for unlimited requests. We will obtain all the music requested prior to your event.
Q; What about lighting?
All of our Wedding Packages include quality dance floor lighting. (lighting packages can be upgraded at your request)
Q: How loud do you play the music?
One of the most frequent complaints about bands and DJs alike is that they play the music too loudly. It doesn’t have to be that way! During cocktail and dinner hours the speakers will be strategically positioned for even sound coverage throughout the banquet room at a comfortable level. When it’s time to dance, the speakers will be repositioned for maximum sound coverage on the dance floor, and minimum sound exposure throughout the rest of the banquet room. This means that on the dance floor the music will be at a very comfortable, yet powerful enough level for dancing. Throughout the rest of the room, the music will be less predominant and your guests will actually be able to carry on a normal conversation without screaming!
Q: Do you have back-up equipment?
Always - We don’t leave home without it!
Q: How interactive are your DJs?
Our level of interaction is determined by you - the client. Your vision of the type of atmosphere that you want to create will determine our level of interaction. From Elegant to Electric, we are experts at creating the desired mood!
Q: Are you licensed and insured?
Affordable Entertainment DJ’s is fully licensed and insured
Q: What about tipping?
By no means is tipping/gratuity mandatory or expected. We charge a professional rate for a professional service. If at the end of the night you feel that we have surpassed your expectations and you want to tip, we would accept it as the ultimate compliment. But you’re under no obligation to do so
Q: How early should we book?.
We’ve taken bookings as early as 2 years in advance, and as late as 2 days. Generally speaking, 1 year to 6 months is most common.
Q: How do we book our date?
Contact us via phone or email (see contact page) We offer a personal consultation to discuss your needs. Once we determine the appropriate package for you, we require a signed event agreement and a 50% deposit to hold your date.
