    Best DJ in NH!

    From day 1, Carlos (and his easy to use website) made planning the music at our wedding (in my mind the most important part) everything we could have hoped for!

    He was easy to communicate with, explained his awesome website that allowed us to pick music down to the littlest detail. We met a few weeks before, he spoke to us for over an hour about every single thing from A to Z of our wedding and the music.

    Then comes the big day and it's perfect, even the uplighting and monogram of our names blew me away. My biggest concern going into the wedding was a pandemic wedding, masks on, no one would want to dance - well Carlos sure shut me up! People danced from the second we started until the second we ended the night.

    Carlos is the best DJ in NH, hire him, you won't regret it!

    Thank you,

    The Marre's

    Had everyone dancing all night

    Carlos was incredible! He handled the music for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception at Church Landing. He worked with us to include all of our favorite (and sometimes obscure) songs. He brought so much joy and fun to the stress of planning of a wedding during COVID. During the reception, he mixed up oldies with electronic so all of our guests danced all night long! Also - the uplighting Carlos provided was fantastic! Our event was moved outdoors under a tent and the lighting was unreal.

    Amazing! Fun, easy, and professional!

    We worked with Carlos for our December wedding at Church Landing. He came highly recommended by our wedding venue and I could not be happier we chose to work with him! My fiance worked with Carlos to plan the music for our cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing, perfectly transitioning from one to the next. He had everyone up and dancing the whole night. If you are getting married in NH, give Carlos and Jamie a call! You won't regret it!

    Great to work with!

    Carlos was great from start to finish. He is very organized. Very easy to talk to and get along with. He wanted to meet with us to ensure we had what we wanted at our wedding. If there was a song request he didnt have he was sure to get it for us.

    Truly a 5 star experience!

    Hey Carlos,

    Hope all is well! Jon and I (and all of our guests!) are STILL talking about how amazing our wedding was and the feedback we got on you was SO AMAZING. We are so grateful that you made our day so special and it meant so much to us how you honored Haley (she is still in Kuwait but due home next month).

    Thanks again, Carlos!

    Carlos and Jaime made my wedding absolutely amazing! They were able to play a huge range of music for all of the age groups that attended. They really help get the party going and keep it going all night long! Highly recommend them!

    DJ Carlos was wonderful to work with and was able to keep up and follow through with all of our little detailed song requests and selections! People were up dancing all night long and didn’t want the night to end!

    The name says it all, 5 STAR! Your DJ is what really makes your wedding, not your flowers and, most certainly, not your cake. Carlos is absolutely amazing and I will recommend him to everyone I know! His humor, professionalism, and attention to detail are pristine. When we were looking for a DJ, what really stood out to us was the fact that many people said, "Carlos keeps the dance floor packed," and he did just that. He provided us with a personalized experience that our wedding guests are still talking about. Thank you Carlos for making our day such a memorable experience!

    Carlos and Jamie are such a great team to work with! From his first email after I requested information, they were incredibly professional and always seemed to know what we needed and wanted. Besides having a great price they also provided the easiest set up to request our favorite songs or have a “do not play list”. Carlos had an amazing selection of music to choose from and did a great job of keeping our guests on the dance floor the whole night! Carlos and Jamie did a great job of guaging what our guests wanted to hear which was incredible because of the age range and our guests were from all over the world.
    There’s definitely no need to look further for a DJ, you will be more than happy with the service, price and your guests experience.

    Our photographers recommended Carlos to us and we are so glad they did! Everything was spot on from the song choices, uplighting and interaction level with our crowd. Our guests had so much fun and the dance floor was packed the whole night. Carlos was extremely helpful with song selections and helped make our wedding day absolutely perfect. We highly recommend 5 Star Entertainment if you are looking for a high quality DJ who knows how to read a crowd and keep the party going!

    Carlos was amazing! We couldn't have asked for a better DJ to keep our guests entertained and on the dance floor! He spoke to each of our wedding party to make sure he pronounced their names correctly which we thought was great! His son saved the day when our ring bearer had a melt down - we can't thank him enough for! Pleasant, very personable and overall very on point with the music selection! Everyone thought he did a phenomenal job!

    Oh boy where to even start with this review other than "FABULOUS" This is the 2nd wedding they have done for my daughters and once again WOW! ABOVE AND BEYOND is an understatement. There was not a thing out of place through the whole night. We had a lot of requests for specific non english songs which they gladly played for us, the up lighting was beautiful and added so much to the venue, the guests had so much fun we extended them to stay at the last minute. Not only are the owners great at what they do but they are super caring, professional and above all just fun people to work with. I cannot thank you enough for all the great service you have given our family over the last 2 years and no worries we have some more weddings in the future to come :) We would never hesitate to recommend 5 star for any event. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! The Melo Family - Plymouth NH

    DJ Carlos is the best! He was so responsive to our needs and made our reception so special. Our friends and family were on the dance floor all night! Carlos was perfect at being that "in the background" MC who kept everyone informed and having fun without being self-indulgent or a stand-up comedian. He took the time to walk us through how to enter, cut the cake, etc. to make sure we were all on the same page. Song selection was exactly to our taste. The reception went so smoothly, we couldn't be happier!

    Carlos and Jamie were amazing, I couldn't have asked for a better team to DJ my wedding! They left me with nothing to worry about and were so helpful with figuring out all of the small details. When it came down to the ceremony they created an amazing atmosphere for the guests and had everyone dancing! I would use them again in a heartbeat for any function needing a DJ!

    DJ Carlos Russin was outstanding!! He made our special day a one of kind. Guests raved about him, he was attentive to detail and knew what my husband and I loved listening to for music. Carlos is wonderful to work with, he is understanding and was willing to work with us if we had any questions or concerns. I would recommend using him for your next event :)

    I highly recommend DJ Carlos! Due to him our wedding was stress free. Having been a bridesmaid multiple times, before being a bride myself, I've seen so many couples stress out during their special day trying to make sure everything happens at the right time. DJ Carlos is the reason my new husband and I didn't have to go through that stress. He's not only an amazing DJ but he also lined up the wedding party for the procession and introductions, and announced when it was time for certain dances, dinner, the cake cutting, and various other parts of the day. My husband and I didn't have to do anything other than enjoy our day!! Your wedding preparation isn't complete without him as your DJ!!

    Carlos was recommended to us by our wedding coordinator and provided music for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception as well as uplighting.

    After speaking with many DJs and getting somewhat discouraged by their cheesiness, we were happy to find Carlos, who we could tell right away was fun but professional and not too over the top for us. He was very helpful in the planning process, meeting with us to go through our song list and make sure he perfected the pronunciation of names for entrances. When we discovered that a friend was using the same song we wanted to use for our processional, he recommended a cover which we loved and it ended up working out perfectly.

    One of the most important things to us was getting people up and dancing and Carlos made sure that happened. As soon as dinner was over, he got everyone up and dancing and the dance floor stayed packed the entire night...people didn't even leave it for ice cream sundaes.

    Carlos also did a phenomenal job with our uplighting. We wanted a soft, candle-lit feel in the room for dinner and Carlos was able to give us just that with amber uplighting and then once the dancing started he changed it to make it feel more like a party.

    We were very happy with Carlos' work and would highly recommend him to anyone who wants to get their guests dancing!!

    We knew from the minute we hired Carlos that he was to be our DJ! We clicked! It's hard picking a DJ as unlike a photographer where you can see their work, a DJ is a bit of a leap of faith! Well this guy rocked the house! Our wedding was jamming all night long! Hands down you will be so happy you picked Carlos to entertain your guests! I know we are! :)

    Carlos was excellent. He DJ'ed my wedding, which took place at my family farm this summer & my sister has already booked him for her wedding next year. Our guests have continued to rave about our great DJ!
    Carlos and I began talking about a year before the wedding, following recommendations from EIGHT different acquaintances. He provided great advice from the very beginning and was respectful of my opinions as well. I appreciated all of the pre-wedding guidance he provided with music selection and setting the timing of events throughout the reception, which I found to be a more complicated task than I had imagined.
    At our reception, Carlos took the reins and moved the night along smoothly and connected with our guests. He managed to ever-so naturally mix in my requests for country oldies/outlaw music throughout the reception, which I just loved! (In retrospect, realize could have been a flop if he wasn't so good what he does!) He also very kindly stayed an additional 2+ hours beyond our contract and had our guests dancing all night long -- this was my absolute #1 hope for my wedding! Our guests had a blast, we danced our butts off, and everyone complained of sore feet (sore abs, you name it) the next morning.
    If you have a dancing crowd, don't settle on anything less than a high quality DJ. They certainly help set the tone for the night & I felt that Carlos really "got" what I hoped to achieve for my wedding. It was a day/night we'll never forget.

    With 6 years experience in the wedding industry, I had a great deal of inside knowledge in planning my wedding. The most important of which was professional experience with many vendors. I had enjoyed working with Carlos previously and so considered him immediately. Approaching him as a client I received the same friendly yet professional and efficient service that I had come to know him for while working in the industry. From the early stages of planning through the end of our wedding, Carlos was an absolute pleasure. His timing and taste for music are perfect, causing our dance floor to be full for 4 hours of dancing! He kept everyone on their toes, offered just the right amount of commentary and was a great addition to our special day. I highly recommend him to anyone searching for a dj.

    Carlos was great to work with. He has an excellent web page to help plan out your event and pick music that you would like to hear. Our wedding day was wonderful and the music was great. We had a lot of people dancing and everyone had a good time.
