We had the absolute best experience with our DJ for my daughter’s Sweet 16! From the moment the music started, the dance floor stayed packed all night. He knew exactly how to read the crowd, played an amazing mix of songs, and kept the energy high from beginning to end. Matt and his team was professional, organized, and made the entire night so much fun. My daughter and all of our guests had an incredible time, and we’ve received so many compliments about the music and atmosphere. Thank you for helping make such a special milestone unforgettable. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for an amazing DJ for their event!

What a fantastic night at our 50th birthday celebration dancing on the beach at Wall's Wharf Beachfront with DJ Mark playing the best 80s and 90s songs. It was exactly what I wanted and envisioned and it was truly fantastic. DJ Mark was friendly and easy to work with. Famous Entertainment was reliable and professional. Made the night unforgettable and magical

If you’re looking for a DJ who knows how to throw a party, book Famous Entertainment! Rob absolutely crushed it at our wedding. The music was perfect, the energy never dropped, and he had everyone singing, dancing, and having an amazing time. We honestly didn’t want it to end! Matt was just as great to work with. He made the planning process so easy, answered every question, and made us feel like we were in great hands from day one. We couldn’t be happier with our choice. Thank you, Rob and Matt, for making our wedding so much fun and giving us (and our guests!) a day we’ll never forget. We highly recommend Famous Entertainment!

DJ Matt played our event and I’m glad we went with him. He definitely made our party better. He was great with the kids (played games, gave out prizes) and made sure everyone got out of their seat and had a good time. Everyone also loved the Photo Booth. I highly recommend and would definitely hire him again.

We hired Matt for our daughter’s Sweet 16 and we were very happy with our experience. He kept the crowd entertained and ran the whole night for us so we could just sit back and relax and enjoy the event. Highly recommend him for any sort of party. He also provided karaoke and a photo booth for us. All in all it was amazing experience. Highly recommend!

We booked Famous Entertainment for our event and had the absolute best experience with Matt as our DJ! From start to finish, he was professional, attentive, and really understood the vibe we were going for. He listened to every one of our song requests and blended them in perfectly throughout the night. The house music he played was amazing—exactly what we asked for and kept everyone on the dance floor having the best time for my fiances 30th. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how fun the music was, and the energy never dipped once we started dancing. Matt made the whole night flow seamlessly and truly elevated the party. If you’re looking for a DJ who is talented, easy to work with, and knows how to keep the crowd going, I highly recommend Famous Entertainment and Matt. They made our night unforgettable!

Matt was the DJ for our wedding including cocktail hour and reception. He really went out of his way to engage everyone, and tried to make sure all the guests had a good time and played songs he felt matched the crowd. We chose the package that included a photo booth and everyone really loved that. The pictures came out great, and we loved the scrap book with photos and good wishes. He even shot some photos on his own and created this amazing AI video for us incorporating all the pictures he took. Matt definitely went above and beyond to make sure we were happy.
