DYNASTY ENTERTAINMENT

Words cannot express how pleased I was with Dynasty Entertainment!!! My wedding night was on the biggest blizzard in October in NJ since 1869....Jack and his crew arrived ON TIME...and performed like nothing was going on outside!!! The Band was ROCKIN!!!! All of my family and friends danced the night away. The talent blew me away, the music selection was just what I had asked for. Jack ALWAYS answered my emails in a timely fashion...he gave me everything he promised1 I would recommend this band whole heartedly. They get a 10 in my book!!!

I had lots of crazy music requests for our wedding, and the DJ played just about everything. He even let me use the microphone to announce group pictures I wanted to take. He worked great with our reception place and made sure he was always ready for the next event. He wasn't overbearing like some DJs can be, but enough excitement to get everyone excited and dancing.

The music was fantastic! My ceremony was on the beach. I had flute and harp music and it was perfect. For my cocktail hour we had a saxophonist and pianist. I received numerous compliments about the musicians and their talent. It was just perfect!

We were thrilled with our band! A) The value of cost was amazing. B) Everyone was dancing the entire event.... which is hard to do at a 2PM Sunday wedding, but they made it happen! Jack was so easy to work with and everyone was so very professional. Rave reviews all around!

Our experience with Dynasty Entertainment was absolutely wonderful. I found them while doing an internet search for bands that could play a wide variety of music. We met personally with Jack Goodman, the owner, in his office. We watched many video clips and I was pleased but still hesitant at not being able to hear the band live. We booked them for our wedding at the Venetian in Garfield, NJ, based on gut feeling and price. We felt Jack Goodman seemed like a fair and honest businessman – and trust me – we were right! We got an 11-piece band and 2 cocktail hour musicians at a very reasonable price. We shopped around extensively for a band because we knew that this could make or break the reception and we definitely made the right choice. Dynasty far exceeded other bands’ offerings as far as music styles and value. Other bands told us that they would need to supplement with either a DJ or recorded CDs to cover our range of music preferences, but Dynasty was able to play every style we wanted for the entire night! They were easy to work with from start to finish. We kept in touch periodically via email and when the wedding was getting closer, we were asked to provide the band with music preferences, etc. We returned our information and requests in a timely manner and mentioned some things that were highly important to us. The band was a hit! They played a wide variety of music including 70s, 80s, 90s, Pop, Latin, Disco, Rock, Oldies – you name it!! They even played Spanish Pasodoble for us (which no other band was willing or able to do) And they did it amazingly well! The two lead singers in the band interacted with our guests on the dance floor in a fun and playful manner. It was obvious that these performers enjoy what they do and their enthusiasm was contagious. Everyone had a great time and we received endless compliments on the band and their performance. I highly recommend Dynasty Entertainment for their professionalism, value, and quality.

They were awesome! The band - ReelTime - had the dance floor packed all night. The only criticism I would have is that the lead singers came onto the dance floor, and that's not something we discussed. Had I known they would do that, I would have requested that they didn't....

This band was incredible from start to finish of our wedding day- and before! Jack came to our home to share samples of the band's work, and he was very flexible in working out pricing that worked for us. Jack and his staff were kind, enthusiastic, and helpful any time we needed anything- truly just a pleasure to work with.The ceremony music was lovely and set the stage for an elegant and meaningful start to our marriage. The All Stars band, just one of the Jack Goodman Orchestra's groups, had all of our guests up on the dance floor the entire reception. They played a great array of music to keep everyone happy from grandparents to recent college grads. We could not have asked for a better band to help us celebrate our big day. We would highly recommend this group to anyone who wants to make sure their wedding reception is the time of their life!

Every step of the way Dynasty Entertainment was great to work with. They were wonderful and did a great job helping us plan our day. We had a keyboard player for our ceremony and cocktail hour then a DJ for our reception. Both did an amazing job! I was worried no one would be dancing at the wedding but to my surprise no one would stop dancing! They played a great selection of music while meeting our needs. Highly recommend them!

Band was amazing, they were able to perform most songs that I requested and did a beautiful job singing "Lauretta Mia" in Italian. We had asked if they could perform a variety of music from hip-hop, sinatra classics, rock-n-roll, italian classics, latin music, 70's and 80's music to todays top current songs. We asked for a variety and they were able to provide us that service 100%Would recommend this Dynasty Entertainment to any bride looking for a variety of music to be played at their reception!

We hired an Arabic band through Dynasty Entertainment for our wedding on October 1, 2010 and couldn't be happier! Jack was amazing in helping us find the perfect fit for our wedding. we had hired a DJ previously and were looking for a band to enhance our entertainment. We were concerned that the DJ and Band may not work well together, but the day of the wedding everything went perfectly! Leading up to the wedding Jack and Suzy were great in finding us a band less than 2 months before the wedding. Jack showed us several bands and made sure we got the perfect one. Every time we came to the office they were both so nice and pleasant to deal with. The band worked so well with our DJ and kept everyone entertained throughout the night. We couldn't come up with a request list in time for the band, so they were able to choose with all of their own songs and did a fantastic job. All of the band members were courteous and professional, and Jack even stopped by to make sure we were happy. I would highly recommend using Dynasty Entertainment!!!

Jack Goodman and Dynasty Entertainment did a wonderful job for my wedding! They played a great mix of all types of music continously, were energetic and had the crowd on their feet the whole time. They completely made my wedding. Friend are still talking about how much the reception was because of the music and the band! Also, there were extremely easy work with, were flexible with music choices and open to learning new songs for my wedding day. I could not have asked for more!!

We hired the reel time band and they were a hit. I liked how they played the genre of music we asked for (a little bit of everything), and they did an excellent job with introductions/MCing. I did leave the band with a lot of discretion in terms of what songs to play because they are the ones who know what brings people to the dance floor (and everyone danced!) Our biggest concern was that we didn't want to single out a specific age group at our wedding (with regards to song selection) and we didn't want the music to be very loud that people couldn't hear themselves conversing. We had neither of these problems that are common at other weddings I've been to. I'm the bride and was pretty busy with work and school (up to the wedding) and they always kept calling me to make sure they had what they needed (ie song list, special instructions etc) and that was a plus to be working with professional/"on top of it" people.One of our newly engaged friends who was at our wedding just hired them too for their wedding, which is the best way to say "your band rocked."

Overall our DJ was ok for the money spent. He played the same song twice during the reception and played some other songs that I felt weren't the best dance songs. They seemed to clear some people off the dance floor at times and I wished that he would have switched the songs when he saw this happening. He also cut some songs off at odd times. He was very nice however and was accommodating to what we requested. I am happy with him overall, I had just wished for some of the song choices to have been different.

Dynasty Entertainment made our wedding. We had a pianist playing music at our rehearsal dinner, a bagpiper at the ceremony, and a twelve person orchestra at the reception. The process to hire and work with them is simple, and their music is outstanding. Every guest wanted to be on the dance floor all night! Guests at our wedding hired Dynasty Entertainment for their son's wedding in the summer of 2011. I would recommend Dynasty Entertainment with no reservations to any bride looking for any musical needs.

My daughter's wedding on, June 5, 2010,was a wonderful event. We received many compliments from our guests of their enjoyment of dancing and listening to the band at the reception. Everyone was on the dance floor having a great time!

We found Dynasty Entertainment through Wedding Wire, and went with them based on cost and experience in the business. We first met with Jack Goodman, the owner of the company and during this meeting where we were supposed to be telling him what we were looking for at OUR wedding, he kept talking over us and showing us videos from 1998. The videos were mostly of Bands, and we were not interested in a band for our wedding. Ultimately we left the meeting frustrated but still went with them anyway based on price and other customer reviews. Bad idea....We chose steel drums for our cocktail hour, and a DJ for the ceremony and wedding reception. They emailed us forms that needed to be filled out with information for the DJ, however we had already filled out information on different forms during our meeting. The forms were extremely difficult to decipher and left no room for the information that actually pertained to our specific wants and needs. As the wedding drew closer communication became more and more difficult. Throughout the process we had only been communicating with the office secretary and Jack, himself, however a month before the wedding we had 4 different people calling us asking for information we gave to them months ago. We finally requested that all communication be done through the secretary, who is the only one in the office who seems to have a clue as to what was going on. She was our saving grace with this company. We had planned to meet with the DJ prior to the wedding to finalize everything, however after numerous failed attempts and as many non returned phone calls, we had to request to switch DJ's two weeks before the weeding, out of fear that no one would show the day of the actual wedding. If he couldn't make a simple meeting or return a phone call who was to say he would show up? The new DJ was very cooperative as far as returning phone calls, but he too, like Jack, was not the best listener. Day of wedding: Ceremony-Even though we had given the office and the DJ himself specific time cuts for when we wanted certain music played we still had to go over it again with the DJ an hour before we were to walk down the isle - and even then he had all the timing incorrect. The bride didn't even know it was time to walk down the isle because the DJ didn't turn the music up as we specifically asked him to do. After our ceremony the DJ needed to be cued to start the recessional music for us to walk out to by giving him eye contact and nodding my head. Cocktail Hour -This was the truly one saving grace. We had steel drums and the drummer was amazing. I know many people asked for his card and he did exactly as we asked. He was very friendly when guests talked with him and just overall a great experience. This is the only reason I would ever call dynasty again.The Reception:Introductions-This was by far his worst error of the night. Based on our previous communication with the office and with the DJ himself just 2 hours before the reception he STILL got the timing for our introduction wrong! We went over this at least 10 times and I even gave him exact times, to the second, on when he was to introduce the couples. He even stopped the introduction song when announcing the names which we specifically told him not to do. Bride/Father dance -During the father/bride dance the DJ looked to me and was motioning if he should cut the song short not even half way through the song. Whats wrong with playing it all the way through?Mother/groom dance-The DJ did the exact same thing for this song while I was dancing with my mom! Dinner/Dancing-Even though dinner started out ok with the background music the DJ disappeared to go eat after everyone was served and finished eating. We had to ask the matre de to go find him since we wanted to get the party started and guests were already up mingling. When he returned the music started out as we wanted, playing one song we requested but soon turned into a crazy club mix that was close to listening to jock jams! He needed to be asked 3 times to change the style of music to what we requested; once by the bride, next the maid of honor, then myself. When I asked he said "sure after i play one more song". Overall: - Horrible internal communication among owners/employees- Lack of professionalism from DJ's- Paid no regard to bride and groom's specific requests Would NEVER go here again. STAY AWAY FROM DYNASTY!

The music can be a make-or-break for a good reception. It made our reception a memorable one that friends and family are still talking about 2 months afterward.Although we are probably outside their regular distance of travel, they were willing to travel to our wedding in VA. Planning took a phone extra phone calls but it all went well putting things together. We had a specific song we wanted them to use, so we bought the sheet music (for a couple bucks) and sent it to them. They learned the song- actually using an edited version we made and sent them on a CD! It was perfect.We were nervous that were had a limit as to what songs we could pick ahead of time, but they said they were good at reading the crowd to see what kind of music they liked to dance to. They were spot on.In most weddings, guests dance to 8-9pm then start to go home. We had a majority of the guests on the dancefloor until the band was done at 11pm. It was great.

I was referred to Dynasty Entertainment by my friend who had hired one of their DJs for her daughter's sweet 16 and loved them. For my wedding we had a 5 piece band and a DJ/MC combo. I have nothing but positive things to say about this company. The office staff was great and made this tough process very easy. I was unsure of exactly what I wanted and Jack and the music adviser were very helpful and calmed my nerves (without any pressure!) The band was fantastic and the DJ played all the right music and took all of our requests. The dance floor was packed all night! Everybody was professional and courteous and the guests had a great time. I highly recommend Dynasty.

Dynasty Entertainment took the guesswork out of planning for the DJ for us. They were very professional, provided a lot of ideas and advice, and were on top of their game. The DJ was great and played a great selection of music.

We were referred to this company from a friend for my daughter's wedding, but we were still very nervous. We have one daughter and we wanted her wedding to be perfect. After the initial meeting we couldn't believe how many options there are and at first we were totally baffled. After awhile we started feeling better. We finally decided on ceremony music and a band and was surprised that it didn't cost as much as we thought it would. When the big day came we were amazed. We always wanted this day to be special, but never could have imagined how wonderful it actually was. I couldn't stop crying. It was amazing. I even told my husband I want to have another daughter just so I can experience this again. The ceremony music was beautiful and the band was out of this world. We could not have been happier.
