5 Star Events DJ

I was not one of the easiest brides to work with - due to my insane life - but I trusted Dave's music choices and he totally pulled through for me. All his song choices were perfection and EVERYONE loved the music - shown by the flash dance party during dinner! People just couldn't stay off the dance floor. Dave was certainly flexible and had excellent taste. He also firmly kept me on track and made sure that I picked songs while never being pushy. Dave was beyond amazing and his DJ skills honestly made the wedding!

Greg was the DJ for our big event and he was phenomenal! Before the party, communication with Greg was so easy. He responded to emails quickly and called us exactly when he said he would. At our party we had a lot of people, both adults and kids, and he was able to keep everybody on the dance floor. He played all the music we asked him to and kept the fun going seamlessly. All our guests had a great time and Greg was a huge part of that.

Ok so when I started looking into wedding DJs on here, I was a little skeptical. All 5 star reviews? really? BUT YES REALLY! Greg DJ'd my wedding 2 weeks ago and everyone is still talking about how great the music was. People who never dance at weddings were cutting a rug and having a blast all night. Greg was so genuinely nice and great to work with thru the whole process too! He has an entire on-line music request/planning website that is SO helpful to us. We gave him a list of songs we liked (and ones we didn't) and he played all our "must plays" and mixed in some selections based on our crowd and our taste. Highly recommended!

Dave did a fantastic job. He did the music for both the ceremony and the reception. He found our unique music requests. He was very sweet. He was also on-time for the wedding despite being rear-ended on the way there. He always had a smile on his face the entire time, and was very attentive. He worked very well with the other vendors. I hope he continues to be a DJ!

Amazing!! Greg did such a great job at our wedding, everyone can't stop raving about him. He does a great job of directing the flow of the wedding with out being overly involved. He had some great ideas that we used and everyone thought they were so creative. Not only does he do a great job getting everyone on the dance floor but he is also the nicest guy and very easy to work with. I would definitely recommend Greg to all future brides!!

We are RAVING about the awesome job of 5-Star Events at our wedding reception last weekend. Now, Dave is the younger brother of the founder and owner, but from the moment we met him, I felt that our party was going to be in great hands and it was! Our wedding had a large and varied guest list and Dave kept the dance floor full the whole time (and our reception involved a LONG dance party, so that is saying something!) My guests were enthusiastic and effusive from the very beginning and I heard someone say, "the great songs just keep coming!" Dave catered to all ages and the older (parental) crowd had a great time early on... and my mom was even joining my friends in the club-type dance-party late in the evening. You will NOT be disappointed by Greg and Dave at 5-Star!

Greg Hodges was an amazing dj! He played all the songs we wanted and didn't play any that we didn't want! He kept everyone on the dance floor all night! At 1 am majority of my guests were still dancing and didn't want to leave! I highly recommend 5 Star Events!!

Greg was absolutely amazing!! He was incredibly easy to work with--available through email, in person, and even in skype (which was very helpful!). With each request we had, he was extremely accomodating and helpful, and also had many great suggestions. Being a dancer myself, having great reception music was important to me, but I did not have to worry for a second about the music on my wedding day because I knew Greg would be fabulous--and he was! Thank you Greg for a wonderful night of music!

Greg was the most professional wedding vendor among all the vendors I worked with. He was extremely responsive and so easy to work with throughout the whole planning process. The music was GREAT and exactly the style we were looking for! I would recommend him to anyone!

Dave Hodges is fantastic. From the moment we contacted this company, we had wonderful service. Both Dave and Greg were extremely prompt in answering our questions and put us at ease right away. Also, they have plenty of state-of-the art equipment. Dave was our DJ for the wedding, and he surpassed our high expectations. Our crowd danced all night, and many many guests told us that we had a great DJ. At one point it felt like every person was dancing. But more than anything else, I was impressed by Dave's warm and calm demeanor, his organization, and the way he handled our large party for introductions. He was low-key, which is just what we wanted. We had a wedding coordinator to run the ceremony and tell the party when to walk, but, had I to do it over again, I would have Dave do that part too. Don't hesitate to hire him!

Greg was awesome! We were so impressed by his DJ services- he is really organized and was able to judge our crowd and what they'd dance to so well! Our friends and family had the best time and the dance floor was packed all night. Greg was very responsive and fun to work with, and kept things flowing smoothly on the night of our wedding. He also did cocktail hour music for us & had a great playlist going during dinner! When we first booked with 5star, I was a little apprehensive about how a DJ company could have so many great reviews. As it turns out, he is even better than the reviews say!

Greg Hodges is an incredible DJ. Prior to the wedding he was quick to respond to any questions I may have had and he made sure he knew exactly what we wanted for our wedding and he gave us an outline of exactly how our reception would flow. He made sure I was comfortable and happy with our wedding timeline. During the wedding he was amazing! The music at our wedding was the perfect soundtrack for my husband and me. Our guests are still talking about our excellent DJ and how all of the genres and styles of music flowed together. I did not stop dancing all night and the dance floor remained packed! Our wedding was wonderful and Greg Hodges played a huge part in making sure everyone had a great time! I offer no hesitation in reccommending him as a DJ!

Dave was just what we wanted. He listened to all of our input and made sure that everything was done correctly. He was easy to contact and went out of his way to make sure that details were taken care of. He uses the latest tech seamlessly, and was able to make sure that even our most out of left field song request was fit in perfectly. He never gave up on a tough crowd and made sure that everyone kept dancing. Dave was exceptionally attentive and professional, we highly recommend 5 Star Events.

Dave did a great job and we had a great time at our wedding. All we've been hearing is how much fun everyone had and that the dancing was out of control. Everyone was into it and we've heard compliments of the DJ from many of our friends. He met with us beforehand not only to go over the planning but to get to know us, and he definitely read the crowd perfectly and kept the party at a great pace. We had a blast and couldn't have planned for our wedding to go any better. Dave made the party even better for all of us.

We recently had Dave DJ our June wedding. He was unbelievable. I didn't have to worry about a thing. He made it so easy. From our first meeting with him till the end of the night Dave was very attentive to our needs. He listened and got to know us through some meetings and email. He did a really good job choosing the right songs that fit us and "making the wedding our own". The website they have made it very easy for us to plan our wedding and organize every detail. Dave was very organized and responsive to last minute changes we had. Dave knew exactly what to play to keep our guest on their feet. We had a great time and our guest can't stop talking out it. I highly recommend Dave at 5 Star Events. Thanks Dave!

We worked with Greg for our wedding that was a few weeks ago and it and he were exceptional! The dance floor was packed from almost the moment it began with people of all ages! Greg is the most organized person that I have met in a long time! He has a binder that he gave us that walked us through the reception event/ timeframe; provides you with songs and titles in different categories (i.e Fatehr daughter dance, first dance, etc); names and order of the wedding party, names of the parents, etc, etc. Additionally, hegives you access to his system where you can listen and download songs that you want him to play. We met with him twice prior to our wedding and talked out the logistics of the reception; set up a timeline for the reception that he then shared with all of the others involved in the event; sorted out what music to play when; and the overall feel we wanted at our reception- and he did it all of this flawlessly. Moreover, he kept things moving during the reception by working collaboratively with the site coordinator and wedding coordinator so that we were able to maximize the time we had at the reception. Everyone who met him loved working with him!Greg is smart, talented, intuitive, organized, friendly and is a wealth of resources. He is responsible for creating music software for DJs used throughout the country. He made the event so much fun and festive. He was able to sense when the songs were hits and when we needed to move on and did it flawlessly. During our first dance, the song began to feel too long so with one quick look, he knew to invite others to join us on the dance floor. Marvelous...Also of note, I began receiving calls the day after our wedding through as recent as today about how much fun it was, how great the music was and how ice Greg was when approached with requests!I truly can't say enough great things about him, his level of professionalism, organization and wonderful personality and his company. Anyone who includes him in their event is sure to have an exceptional event.

Dave recently did our wedding at the Liberty Hotel and he was absolutely fabulous. I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone. First of all, he was SO helpful during the weeks leading up to the wedding, keeping us organized with the online system and checking in just the right amount to make sure we were on track ;) I love how they enable you to build song request lists and outline the evening. On the actual night, Dave made sure everything went off smoothly and met with our coordinator at the hotel beforehand so all entrances and events (cake cutting, bouquet dance, etc.) were seamless. Then of course, there's the music and he did such a great job of selecting music that everyone would enjoy, mixing more contemporary and classic songs so EVERYONE (really, people I've never seen dance before) was dancing. Let's just say even my mom and her friends were doing the dougie and loving it. When midnight rolled around, we had to ask him to stay for another hour because there was still a big group partying. It's a night we will never forget and Dave was an instrumental part of that!

Greg worked with Jon and I for our wedding on Memorial Day weekend of this summer (2010). He was an absolute delight to work with leading up to our wedding. He was flexible, had great advice, and was always available to talk to us. He even helped us to fix a last minute seating arrangement snafu two days before the wedding!We have had dozens and dozens of our guests tell us that our reception was amazing and we have the pictures of everyone dancing to prove it. Greg gave us exactly what we wanted with a night of great songs, great dancing, and for Jon and I, the confidence that we were supported by the BEST DJ. Jon and I both feel that Greg got to know us so well that he was able to provide a personal experience which nobody else could have provided.Greg Hodges is an absolute professional and will give you exactly the wedding reception you've been dreaming of. We feel nothing but incredibly lucky that he was able to work our wedding. To all the engaged couples out there, you are missing out if you do not use Greg Hodges as your wedding DJ!!Sincerely,Brooke Lombardy

Easiest, most convenient, most professional DJ service I have ever had the pleasure of working with. My wife and I planned our wedding from New York and 5 star Events went out of their way to make it as easy and painless for us as possible. Dave and Greg work great together as a team and did everything under the sun to make sure that we had absolutely zero to worry about on the day of our wedding. Due to my work schedule a lot of my e-mails would go out around 11pm or later, and without fail I would have a response to any e-mail within the hour. These guys must never sleep!! They put together itineraries for us, and even sent them out to other vendors involved in the wedding so that they would know what to expect and when (was especially helpful for the photographers). Dave was so easy to work with, he was getting last minute important song changes, such as the father/daughter song less than an hour before the dance was set to take place and he didn't miss a single beat. His professional announcements throughout the festivities were welcomed by all. His ability to give them throughout the night with keeping the focus on the bride and myself not making the DJ the center of attention spoke wonders of him and his company. Dave even went to the extent of buying a matching tie to match the bridesmaids dresses!! He had bodies on the dance floor from the second we were introduced to 30 minutes after we had hired him for! Unforgettable night made extra special by having great music played all night long! Would recommend them to anybody, anywhere, anytime!

Dave from 5 Star Events was the DJ at our wedding and he did an outstanding job turning our reception into a fabulous party which all of our guests are still talking about five weeks later. We're an older couple and we wanted to have just the right mix of music that would cater to both young and older adults...our biggest fear prior to the wedding was no one would dance. With our first dance our fears were quickly dashed as the floor was packed with people and that was only the beginning as the night turned into a really fun evening for all ages. Personally, Dave is incredibly organized and extremely cooperative and easy to deal with. Many of my guests spoke with Dave during the wedding and they were all so impressed with his style and professionalism. In my opinion, Dave and 5 Star Events represents the Best of Boston in the world of DJ's.
