    Wedding 11.12.2021

    DJ Joe and his team were wonderful during my wedding. His pricing was very affordable and reasonable. He had everything planned out and ready for each part of my special day. The Photo Booth was great and everyone had a great time taking fun pictures in it. He was super energetic and got the guests on the dance floor and payed close attention to the details I had requested. I would definitely recommend DJ Joe and his team to anyone in need of a DJ. They are great people.

    Joe and Greg are amazing! My family owns and operates a banquet hall and we have been working with these guys for at least 10 years! After working alongside them for years, we finally had the chance for them to work OUR wedding on Saturday, May 30th in Point Pleasant, NJ. They had the dance floor jam packed the entire night. They will work with you and give you the wedding of your dreams. Take it from me, i've seen them work at least 150 parties, and each party they DJ is off the charts! Book these guys!!
    Thanks again fellas!

    We loved Joe at Universal Entertainment! If you're looking for a great DJ who is going to take care of your night in style, he's the guy. Great personality, very flexible and responsive to work with, he paid attention to all the little details of the wedding that brides worry about and hope will go smoothly. Not only that, but the music mix was absolutely flawless! With some picks from us, Joe built the perfect wedding reception jam. These guys are fun to work with and will create a fun party at your reception. They also have a very tasteful, cool set up... if you are worried about crazy lights and signs. Put your worries aside and call these guys today!

    We love Universal Entertainment!! Joe has done numerous events for our families and we knew from the moment we got engaged he would be the DJ for our wedding. He has a great personality, gets everyone out on the dance floor and everyone has a great time.

    Greg and Bruce were fantastic! We first saw Greg at an engagement party and knew we wanted him for our day - he was available and we booked immediately. We wanted a small, personable company - not those mega-DJ outfits where you have no idea who will show up on your day and treat every event like a sweet 16 party. You get very personalized service with Universal. We were so pleased with everything - personality, professionalism, entertaining abilities, emceeing, sound system and music selection. The dance floor was packed the entire wedding and many people said this was the "best party and wedding ever!". We could not have been more pleased. We had guests from age 5 to 85 (we are in our late 30s) and their music lineup was incredible! Plus, their prices are awesome. They also provided the amps, microphone, and music for our beach ceremony and the sound and timing were perfect! We will only use them for any event in the future - they are fabulous!

    The best DJ’s around!

    Joe and his crew were exceptional. High energy, extremely fun and interactive. I highly recommend him for any and all parties you are having. He’s been our go to for 13 years and counting! The photo booth is always stocked with awesome props and such a fun ad on to any event.

    Love DJ Joe. A DJ can make or brake a wedding and Joe made it wonderful. Great personality, Great song selections and he even made me a cd of some of the music that was played during the evening. I highly recommend his services!

    DJ Joe was very sweet and very personable unfortunately when he announced my grandmother and my husband's grandmother he switched their names which was kind of embarrassing to have on our wedding video. Some of his song selections were spot-on but I think he could have done a little bit better tailoring to what we wanted to hear

    What jerks

    Don't hire these guys if you want a professional feel to your wedding. They completely ruined my the best man speech by playing jeopardy music in the middle of a speech that only was about 5 minutes. They cursed more than once while using the microphone. Completely unprofessional. During the cake cutting he tried to get the groom to feed the bride with his fingers which was not their wishes at all. We had to let him know this wasn't that kind of wedding... it.ruined what was supposed to be a beautiful moment.
    They made guest play these ridiculous table games where they ask you to mess up your the other guest hair and kiss strangers. No one liked them.. I feel like they were obnoxious and self centered.
    Don't book these guys unless you want your guest to feel bullied and uncomfortable.

    Stay away!

    Owner was extremely rude and unapologetic when photo booth malfunctioned for most of my wedding. Stay away if you are looking for a professional photo booth company.
