    Excellent work

    My wife and I want to give a big shout out to John W. at Staar Entertainment for being the best DJ we could have ever asked for! He worked hard with us to figure out the music for our wedding. Even when we were struggling to pick music, he was there with quick insights and recommendations only a true professional could provide. Also going above and beyond providing extra equipment to create a wonderful atmosphere for our guests, 10/10 would definitely go with this company again for future events

    I wouldn't have a party without Staar Entertainment1

    I used John Wendelken for my son's bar mitzvah a 5 years ago. He was absolutely amazing!!! He's such a nice, and easy going person and was great with my son when he met him. He was great to plan with. We met and discussed every aspect of the party. He was open to anything we wanted and had great ideas as well. The party went off without a hitch. He was so fun! All the kids had a blast and even the adults had fun because he included them in the festivities. I still have people telling me that it was the best party they have ever been to! So, when it came time to plan my other son's bar mitzvah, I literally brought the dates to John first to make sure he was available. I wouldn't have anyone else run my party!! He is top notch!

    Excellent One-Stop Shop Vendor!

    John and his team went above and beyond all of our expectations! Until now we have never used an auctioneer for our annual school function, and it made a huge difference in our bottom line. We raised more money this year than ever before. From the early planning stages, to the post-event wrap up call, John and his team provided top-notch customer service. It was nice to have so many services through one vendor- MC, Auctioneer, DJ, Photobooth, and Lighting. It is a one-stop shop for all of our function needs that we will continue to use for years to come!

    John and Ashley were an amazing duo!

    Staar entertainment was absolutely amazing at our wedding this weekend. Ashley and John were the perfect team. Ashley responded to all of my emails in a timely manner, answered all my questions and made the process so easy for me and my husband, especially considering how many changes I had to make on a daily basis due to COVID. John was incredible. I loved his energy and personality. He was easy to work with and he really helped make the wedding great. I felt like we really had a good vibe going with him. He made the wedding fun, even though a lot of people were nervous about dancing due to the whole social distancing thing, he was still able to get majority of our guests on the dance floor and made them feel comfortable. We received a lot of compliments from our guests about how great the DJ was. He really helped make the party come alive. Like I said, he was super involved, very organized, and had an amazing personality. Would definitely use this company again for any future parties.

    Fantastic!!

    DJ John has been fantastic! My fiancé (at the time) and I had been looking for a top quality DJ for our wedding reception; John replied promptly from our first contact, and our experiences with Staar Entertainment flowed smoothly since. I was pleasantly surprised by DJ John's attention to detail per our requests, as well as his creativity in encouraging our guests to the dance floor. 5 stars for Staar Entertainment; I would recommend them to anyone.

    For the Best in Customer Service, Party Music, and More!

    The moment our son told us he was getting married, my husband and I decided one of our gifts to the happy couple would be the gift of music, meaning that we would hire the best DJ we could find. Luckily, we already knew who that would be: STAAR Entertainment. In the past we had been to different events where DJ John was in charge, and every single time there was great music, incredible energy, and beautiful lighting. Prior to the wedding day, he or someone from his team promptly returned all phone calls, emails, and texts. John spent time with us on multiple occasions discussing every detail and made recommendations when we weren’t sure. In fact, John’s dedication to his craft is evident in everything he does.

    One of the most important points in this review is that DJ John made up for what the wedding venue (a local country club) failed to do. If it weren’t for DJ John, for example, our son and daughter-in-law’s ceremony would not have had any sound. John’s electrical equipment was ready-to-go, but the venue did not provide any extension cords, outlets, or anything else that was supposed to have been in place. Had it not been for John’s professionalism and foresight for things that could go wrong, the ceremony might not have happened. His out-of-the-box thinking – and quickly – allowed the ceremony to take place on time with the music and sound as planned. Thankfully, the wedding was a success due in large part to DJ John!

    In conclusion, I would trust DJ John and STAAR Entertainment with any event, large or small. You will have every detail taken care of, and in our case, if you were to have problems with the venue, John will know how to make it alright. As a DJ, John knows how to play a crowd, take requests, and keep the party going for everyone. What more is there to say except for all your DJ needs do not hesitate for the best in customer service, party music, and more. Finally, I personally loved the hometown-feel that I got every time I talked to John or his assistant, Ashley. Each communication was like talking to an old friend. With STAAR Entertainment, you will get what you pay for. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

    Made my wedding a hit

    John from Staar entertainment DJ'd my wedding this past July and was everything I could've asked for. He teamed up with my coordinator and got my processional perfect, and he got a room full of Baptists dancing for hours on a Sunday night (a difficult feat). A master at reading the room, accommodated for my budget, and he and his team are very easy to talk to and bug with questions. A great pick for any big event.

    Amazing & wonderful DJ - tied the whole party together!

    I have used them in the past, and I will continue to use them. They are professional, responsible, and honestly, the DJ is the life of the party. If you don't have ideas, they help you; if you do, they work with you. Jerry was fantastic - all my guests are still talking about our reception!

    Wedding DJ

    Hired John Wendelken to DJ for my wedding. He went over every little detail with me, made me a full schedule for entertainment and played all music I requested. I even got so many compliments on how fantastic he was from the guests. Would definitely hire again!!!

    Better than we could have ever hoped for. Thank You!!!

    I just can't say enough because John went above and beyond and delivered on every aspect of our reception entertainment. From the lighting to the music and video, every part of our party was perfect. Our friends and family really like the live video screen that they could send pictures to throughout the party. The slideshow during dinner was amazing and I think at least half my family cried and it was really cool being able to include our friends and family in the entertainment by having pictures of them in the slideshow. When it comes down to it anyone can play some music, but John is a master MC, He played the right music at the right time, he was in tune with us and our guests, he was able to get all our friends and family out on the dance floor, which I didn't even think was possible, and throughout the reception he really did a great job making it a fun cohesive party that further bonded us with our guests with awesome memories of the reception that will last a lifetime. I didn't know how important the choice for a wedding DJ was until after we saw how John and his company delivered for us. This was leaps and bounds above what we've seen at any other wedding ever and truly made our reception the best. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!

    My wedding was FLAWLESS! John was the perfect man to choose to Emcee and DJ my wedding. Everything went on so smoothly and each transition was executed impeccably. He made everyone feel so welcome and allowed me to focus on being the bride - I knew he would take care of the rest and all I can say is WOW !!! John's professionalism and understanding of weddings and events was so helpful in planning the wedding, and I would often turn to him to help me make event decisions. He is so nice and personable and makes you feel like he's completely there for you. I live out of town and he met with me over weekends and took my late night phone calls and emails. In short, John was splendid, the music incredible, and John's topnotch understanding of how to deliver a great, fun event made me feel completely at ease, and I'll always remember how fun it was to know I didn't have to worry about anything and just dance the day away. THANK YOU STAAR ENTERTAINMENT!

    John and his team at STAAR ENTERTAINMENT were phenomenal. From the pre-planning to the day of, John knew exactly what was needed to make this event the best. He took every question and concern and made sure all our needs and requests were met. At the party the music and energy were non-stop and everyone is still raving about what a good time they had because of STAAR. The team had the whole crowd moving and smiling the whole day and we couldn't have asked for more!

    My wife and I heard about Staar Enterainment from vendors we are friends with in the industry. They were extremely professional from start to finish and we loved John's energy and enthusiasm for our wedding - he treated us with sincere kindness and wasn't pushy or a salesman. He truly loves what he does and it shows.

    I used John for my older son's bar mitzvah in 2015 after a friend recommended him. I was so impressed with him. I didn't even think about it when my twins had their b'nai mitzvah. We just told John to do his thing. I didn't have to worry about everyone being entertained. John knows exactly what the kids like as far as music and games. The dj is by far the most important part of the party and I promise your party will be a hit with John

    Staar Entertainment exceeded our expectations from the first minute of planning through the very last song at our daughter's bat mitzvah! Good music and a fun dance party were very important to us and John was so fully committed to making sure it was everything our daughter wanted and more. He went out of his way to talk with us and with our daughter many times as we prepared for the big day! John and his staff were light-hearted, flexible, accommodating, and kind while providing very thorough customer service all the way through! John provided beautiful and colorful uplighting, which made the event so festive and the kids had such a blast with his games and the big screen! John also facilitated a beautiful candle-lighting. It was one of the most memorable experiences of our lives and John and Staar Entertainment truly helped to make that happen. We highly recommend John and his team! Thank you Staar Entertainment! You made all the difference.
