    Highlight of our party!

    Nelson was perfect. He gave us guidance yet remained flexible to give my daughter the party of her dreams. His team was professional and full of energy. They answered all of our questions and even helped my shy daughter get excited to be the center of attention.

    Celestial wedding

    Nelson Cruz Entertainment was there for us when we had to find a DJ on super short notice. They made us feel we were in good hands and communicated with us consistently throughout the way.

    If I only could I would select 7 ⭐️

    I’ve recommended Nelson Cruz to very important clients of mine that had an event this past weekend.
    They wanted a DJ that would understand and be able to adapt to create amazing event even if was alittle smaller ...plus they are big music fans .

    The feed back I got was : “ Thank Uuuuuuuuu, Nelson and his team rock ! They made it all happen like magic”

    I would recommend anyone that’s looking for their event to actually be memorable tasteful,fun & a huge success to not hesitate .... Nelson Cruz is the place.

    Incredible Team for Event

    Nelson and his team were absolutely incredible at our event that we held for our non-profit. Nelson managed to not only set the upbeat and fun mood with great music choices, but managed an ever changing schedule that included going live through zoom and incorporating music from other instructors. The music backdrop helped to ensure we had a hugely successful team. I would highly recommend to any wedding, event, or party!

    Amazing work!

    I cannot say enough good things about Nelson Cruz and his entire team! From our first appointment till the day of the wedding, NC has been ready to answer any question and make any accommodation to make us happy. The day of the wedding, NC was so helpful to us and even did what the venue didn't in the sense that they made sure we had everything we needed! You can tell that each member of NC truly has a passion for what they do. EVERYONE danced the night away. With an amazing DJ and MC combo, how can you not?! My friends and family came back to me to tell me how much fun they had. All this thanks to Nelson and his team! Nelson Cruz is the epitome of a professional whose craft is so fine tuned that you will be guaranteed a worry-free experience. THANK YOU!

    The best entertainment experience for our wedding!

    Nelson made planning the entertainment for our wedding fun, exciting and EASY. He took all the pressure off us and provided top notch service from start to finish. From the lighting to music selections, he helped us create a beautiful ambiance for the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. It really was an elevated experience compared to the many events I've been to. When I think of our magical night, it's all the elements that Nelson provided that tied everything together and made it memorable! I can't imagine what our wedding would have been without Nelson Cruz Entertainment. BEST in the business!

    You need Nelson for your Big Day!!

    Nelson and Tony made our special day completely perfect! They truly pay attention to detail and care about making your day exactly how you want it. Some things that truly stood out to me is just how Nelson got all the guests pumped up and excited to cheer us into the reception. Our wedding was so much fun with the two of them that even when it was over the guests screamed for an encore and DJ Tony played for an extra 15 minutes! They were more than accommodating. You want Nelson and his crew!

    Amazing/Perfect

    Nelson and Tony were absolutely fantastic. Many guests commented after the wedding at how great the DJ was and how much fun they had. Nelson worked with us to pick the correct songs and order for the wedding. I can’t thank them both enough for making our wedding day the day we wanted it to be. I suggest everyone use Nelson and his team for their events.

    DJ Fredo was beyond amazing

    DJ Fredo killed it at my wedding ceremony and reception. I had a hard time leaving the dance floor because the music was so amazing. My guests loved the photo station. Nelson was fantastic to work with and listened to us and executed flawlessly. He had excellent suggestions for the pre-ceremony music and the processional song for the groomsmen. Having a fun dance party with our friends and family was my dream for our wedding and they truly delivered. Don’t hesitate to work with Nelson and DJ Fredo if you want an amazing event.

    Nelson Cruz Entertainment's reply:

    Hi Nicole,
    Thanks so much for the review. I'm so thilled to hear this. It was a pleasure to meet you and Matt.

    my best,
    Nelson Cruz

    Selfie booth station

    Nelson responded immediately too all my wedding inquiries. My wife and I ended up renting the selfie booth station for our big day. Planning for a wedding can be extremely stressful, however working with Nelson was painless. He was responsive, efficient and his team was extremely professional and on time! I would highly recommend using Nelson for all your wedding or entertainment needs! Thanks again Nelson!!

    I highly recommend Paul Leonard to be your party's dj. He showed up early to ensure he had enough time to setup and test the sound from various parts of the location. His music selection was perfect (exactly what my wife wanted). Without question I would have him dj a party for me again.

    Nelson had every detail covered for our wedding from the entertainment, to the lighting and the photo booth. The day went off seamlessly! Our DJ Fredo was amazing! He read the crowd perfectly and every song was a hit. The dance floor was packed from the moment we entered the facility until they kicked us out. I had numerous guests tell me it was the best wedding they every went to and that Fredo was the reason. Very talented DJ - highly recommend. And Nelson is a true professional.

    Nelson Cruz and his team helped me pull off a flawless 400+ company holiday party at The Castle at Park Plaza in Boston. Not only was Nelson Cruz Entertainment our DJ but I also used them for lighting, a photo booth station, and even furniture/bar/dance floor rentals and they nailed it all!

    During the 3-4 month planning process Nelson was absolutely amazing. He's creative, professional, responsive and more importantly always made me feel at ease even at the most stressful of times. Nelson and his team are full of life and were eager to keep everyone up on their feet dancing, at times they were even on the dance floor dancing with everyone!! Deciding on a DJ is not easy but I hit a home run choosing Nelson Cruz Entertainment for our event and would absolutely recommend them to anyone.
