Stag Entertainment

d professionalism and dedication to making our event truly remarkable. Their attention to detail and ability to cater to our specific needs were exceptional. As a preferred vendor for Varone Market Venue, Stag Entertainment went above and beyond to ensure every aspect of our event was perfect. From setup to teardown, their expertise shone through, leaving us and our guests thoroughly impressed. We wholeheartedly recommend Stag Entertainment to anyone seeking an unforgettable event experience. They truly are the epitome of excellence in event services!

there all night long!! He stuck to our timeline, checked in with us throughout the night, and made sure there were always people on the dance floor. Thanks to J and Stag Entertainment for being so great to work with and so affordable, too!

tag was perfect - communicative, organized, and professional. We had a really clear vision for what we wanted with the music and the general flow of the night and we were able to share all of this in person with Vince (the booking manager) AND in writing so it could be passed on to our DJ. Speaking of our DJ...she SLAYED! Marcella ended up being our DJ due to a last minute switch and oh my gosh she was INCREDIBLE. She completely understood the vibe we were going for. The song transitions were quick and well done and she was just a genuinely COOL person to work with. I cannot sing her praises enough! HUGE thank you for making our night so memorable!

edding. A month before our wedding we met with DJ Jay and went through the timeline and he asked us questions to make sure the music for our day was perfect and that was definitely accomplished! We also added further notes for what we wanted done during the dance part of our wedding and DJ Jay did exactly what we wanted, which we were very happy about and I know our guests truly enjoyed the music and could not get off the dance floor. We highly recommend Stag Entertainment and DJ Jay. Thank you DJ Jay and Stag Entertainment for an excellent experience!

tion. The day was perfect and it wouldn't have been as amazing without David / Stag there. If you want an exceptional DJ that gets to know what you want for your special day look no further. Hit up Stag!

vent, timely on arrival, will be very details and organized in all the music and sound system roles they fill, and had the crowd dancing and having fun all night. Definitely would recommend!

going and made sure he knew everyone’s names and how to pronounce them (in the bridal party). I would recommend them for your next event! They have an amazing price point compared to many others.

e DJ assigned to our wedding would work with us to provide suggestions, get to know us a little so he had context on how to DJ/interact with the crowd, and understand what kind of music we would want to hear at our wedding. This never happened. We only spoke with our actual DJ, the day of the wedding, as we were walking out of our ceremony, to find that he showed up 3 hours late almost RUINING our wedding (my wedding planner managed to play our ceremony music from her phone through a spare speaker she kept in her trunk, thank god). The DJ and owner both said it was a clerical error and the DJ was sent to the wrong location an hour and a half away. In addition, the DJ did not know a single thing about us or our wedding. During dinner, he even announced they would be dismissing tables to go get dinner, when we served a plated meal. I was less than impressed with our experience. The reason this review has 2 stars is because the owner was understanding, apologetic, and gave us a partial refund for the DJ missing our ceremony.

a bit weird and awkward, which I was willing to overlook. However he kept telling us he wouldn’t build a playlist for while people were arriving and being seated. OK fine, we made that for him too. Then he said of all the 25+ songs we had on there, he would just put the first 7 songs on a loop. Not what we wanted. So we ended up playing the music ourselves from the venue speakers. The company claims that they have no min/max hours, so during the reception when we asked the DJ to stay another hour (at 11pm, it wasn’t like 2 in the morning) he refused saying he was told to leave at 11pm sharp. My friends noticed he started packing up his equipment at 10:30pm. Again I would totally understand if this was agreed to prior, however when I spoke with the owner initially he said we can flex hours during the event based on what I’d like. On top of that he was hard to understand, was rude to my husband during dinner when he came up to us, and overall just not what I thought I was getting. I’d work with Stag again for sure, only if I had a different DJ though.

ow we wanted to be introduced, how we wanted the tables to be dismissed, how to handle song requests, etc.). The music selection was fantastic and he was also a great MC for the night. They really took a lot of worrying off my fiancé’s plate!

ake our day and evening flow flawlessly. Stag entertainment also made our first dance mix! Kaitlin also did such a great job at managing the photobooth. We loved the little props that where available for our guest to use. My husband and I loved how we were able to customize the photo strips and we also really enjoyed the transparency in communication during our call with Jay when planning for the big day.

ly to other vendors!

helpful and profession in making our day exactly what we wanted. He was able to read the temperature of the dance floor and kept people dancing from first to last song. 100% would recommend!

er! Super responsive and communicative during our whole planning process. Great find!

tailed Zoom with us, and followed our plan with attentiveness but also flexibility. J quickly learned our personalities, vision, and solidified what pieces of our day were non-negotiables versus what he could chose based on the in-the-moment vibe. His pacing of the day was perfect! We loved working with him. His communication and professional experience/judgment of reading the room put him above our expectations! Regarding the Photo Booth—it was a hit for guests. I’m so glad we opted to have the Photo Booth. The props provided were great, and I want to make it clear that the service was highly appreciated. However, the communication regarding the booth was disappointing. Someone from the company, anonymously, reached out the week before the wedding to design our print outs (background, names, wedding date). This design was never confirmed, then did not show up on guests’ copies. Actually, guests didn’t receive printed copies regardless. (They were pleased with digital copies, though.) The awkward blank place felt trashy. After the wedding, Stag shared all digital copies of our Photo Booth pictures, but the folder contained photos that were NOT OF OUR GUESTS! At this point we don’t care about getting those copies, which is unfortunate as that was a big draw as one of Stag’s listed inclusions for their Photo Booth service.

son when I flew in for a holiday and also to come out to my folks' property and answer my dad's questions and queries! Paired with the Zoom meeting we did a few months prior to the event, we felt very comfortable and at ease! Andy rolled with the punches as our plans changed to inside the tent for the ceremony as a downpour rolled in right when the ceremony was to start. We got many compliments on the dancing during the ceremony and that's all due to Stag Entertainment for following our song and MC wishes to a T and having a great sound and light system. I would recommend them in a heartbeat!

rt of the day. He was on point with our wedding procession production, in particular with timing and sound quality from the beginning until the end of our ceremony. For our reception, DJ J made a very smooth music soundtrack transition to introduce our wedding party, and for me and my husband’s entrance. Between the wedding party dance performance, our first dance, and our emcee/host entertainer Lulu Alnite’s three performance numbers and games, DJ J did an excellent job coordinating all of it and had no issues with the sound quality and was perfect on start/stop times for each one of them. DJ J is also one of the most professional and respectful person that me and my husband have ever engaged business with. It was at least 2-3 months prior to our wedding day that we started making connections and dialogues with him via direct phone calls, video calls, email and text messaging. We were synced up with his structure and felt at ease with his musical knowledge, professional sound system, and event hosting experience. His flexibility to tailor and care for our individual needs was also well refined, and was able to produce things when we needed them. He was also praised by the venue where we had our ceremony, as they said he was one do the most tidy, flexible, and hard working dj’s she has ever had the pleasure to work with. He was never pushy about what he knows and believes when it comes to event music and sound systems; it was all about how we as his clients felt, and our wants for him, to make our wedding day truly the most special day of our lives together. We were always respected, heard and followed by him with mutual understanding and respect. Indeed, DJ J added his expert craft that made our special day magical for us to remember for all time!

s unparalleled. Our DJ included all of the songs we wanted, but beyond that, did a great job of incorporating appropriate songs as needed to help keep the party going. There is no other DJ company I would go with for my wedding.

of linking songs we wanted, and he got them no problem. On the actual day he got there early and set everything up, and despite the timeline being completely off (on our side) they were super flexible with moving things around and making announcements. Super glad we went with Stag on our big day, 10/10 would recommend.

pectations with how professional and prepared they were compared to our larger vendors. Not only did our DJ have a few meetings with us prior to our event, but he organized all our songs and playlists. Throughout the time leading up to our event, we were able to easily give him the songs we wanted. Our wedding day went off without a hitch. We got to listen to most of our high priority songs, and will always remember our amazing entrance to Heat Waves by Glass Animals. Well done!

to Jay. Not only did he pay attention to detail but my husband and I were happy to find an LGBTQ friendly DJ company. Highly recommend and will definitely be referring them to everyone.

t introductions and kept the dance floor crowded with some great music! No need to hesitate on booking Stag Entertainment for your wedding!

ns and always had the right songs playing at the right time. I love that there is only a flat rate to pay and it doesn’t matter how long the party goes on. I 10000% recommended stag entertainment for your next event.
