We had the absolute pleasure of having Jerry the DJ from First Class Entertainment at our event, and I cannot praise him enough! From our initial contact through to the end of the event, Jerry was the epitome of professionalism and communication. He was always prompt in his responses, clear in his communication, and genuinely attentive to our needs and preferences. What stood out to me was Jerry's incredible attention to detail. He meticulously planned every aspect of the evening, from the playlist to the timing of each song, ensuring everything flowed seamlessly. It was evident that he puts a lot of thought and effort into personalizing the experience for each client, and handled every aspect of his role with a level of care and precision that exceeded our expectations. His setup was top-notch, and his ability to read the room and adjust the music accordingly was remarkable. The highlight of the evening was undoubtedly the dance floor. Jerry kept the dance floor packed and lively throughout the evening, playing a perfect mix of music that appealed to all our guests. His energy and enthusiasm were contagious, and many of our guests commented on how much fun they had dancing the night away. I wholeheartedly recommend Jerry the DJ and First Class Entertainment to anyone in need of DJ services. If you want your event to be memorable and enjoyable for all your guests, Jerry's your guy! Thank you, Jerry, for making our evening so unforgettable!

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment I spoke to Chris on the phone I knew I found our DJ. He was knowledgeable, professional, and charismatic. He offered great ideas, solutions, and went along with all my crazy requests. The night of the wedding, everything was seamless and the uplights and photo booth were so much cooler than I thought they would be lol I also asked for the last hour of the reception to be an EDM hour and he delivered. He doesn’t just play music, he actually mixes songs too. My guests has so much fun and so did we. Definitely would recommend Chris and Excellent Entertainment.

Al has been delighting audiences for his entire career. With his souring voice & subtle phrasing, he transforms any song into a "musical journey." His vocal stylings will make you swear that Bobby Darin, Louie Armstrong, Stevie Wonder, Elvis or Sinatra are in the room, singing! His stage presence & comedic timing will have you laughing till you cry & then his romantic ballads and beautiful Broadway melodies, will put a lump in your throat. All truly does it all!

Al Fusco made my wedding the success it was ! Beautiful singing voice and overall professionalism.

We used Dave for our wedding on April 15, 2023. We are so glad we did! He setup sound and music for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception and we did a few add-ons with up-lighting and the cold sparks. Dave review: He was extremely professional and has a perfect voice and presence for a hype DJ. He arrived on time and setup without any issues. We spent a lot of time on the phone discussing the wishes we had and building out the timeline. He made plenty of great recommendations for minor changes to make the night go smoothly. He even had no problems with a last minute change we needed to make when a bridesmaid didn't show up which required a script change. Dave had the dance floor packed all night from 7:30-10:30pm! Up-lighting: so fun! It syncs with the music and colors can change. It added classy effects during dinner and fun energy for dancing. Cold sparks: we didn't add these until a few days before the wedding as a last minute splurge! We wanted them but weren't sure it was worth the cost. We are SO glad we did it! There was a tech that came out to run them and it was so fun to have them go off for our announcement into the reception, our first dance, and other random songs throughout the night. We had so many guests mention how much they liked it! And it helped get people on the dance floor when they could see the sparks go off from outside through the windows.
