Frederick Hart Entertainment, LLC

Fred was the DJ for our wedding in April 2012 and we are soooo happy that we chose him. He provided excellent entertainment, tailored to our guests, and really fit the experience. Our wedding was held at a golf/country club in surburban Philadelphia and we were trying to complement the beautiful atmosphere provided by the club. When I was searching for DJs, I had several options, mostly those that normally played a variety of venues and were lower priced. I honestly struggled with the decision. Music can make or break your event, but we were not unlimited in budget. My husband and I are both in our mid-40s and so in our case, the demographic of the audience was a little older, mostly ranging from 40-80 yrs old. We needed someone who was able to play key music from several decades and really ‘read’ our crowd to keep things going. Fred did this extremely well. He was not the lowest price option, but he is just an expert in handling wedding crowds. He was able to get people engaged and set a festive mood early in the reception. He kept things rolling, had a good flow throughout the event and got people’s attention at appropriate points for the obligatory events like the groom/mother dance and cake cutting. Fred was very easy to deal with and played everything I asked for – and, just as important, did not play the things that I did not want. His mantra was that ‘the lady in the white dress is the boss’ and he held to that which I appreciated. Overall, he was very professional and really fit the experience we were offering to our guests. If you are looking for a quirky DJ who brings sunglasses and blow-up saxophones, this is not your guy. If you want someone who looks at this as a profession to create an environment for a fun yet elegant, successful reception, you should give Fred a call.

We highly highly highly recommend DJ Fred. We had an evening wedding with a reception from 8pm until midnight, in downtown Philadelphia, with heavy hors d'oeuvres instead of a sit down meal, and mostly young adult guests (20s-30s). Our reception was not traditional--we wanted it to have a real party feel for our friends and family. Obviously, our DJ choice would be the key component. As advertised, DJ Fred did not let us down. From our first meeting through the wedding night, DJ Fred was extremely passionate, professional and accommodating. He was an absolute pleasure to work with and he made our reception both classy and fun. When it was all said and done, we and our guests had a blast. A good portion of our guests were so riled up from the event that they went out afterwards--some until the sun came up. Mission accomplished. DJ Fred helped us achieve truly the most memorable night of our lives and we are forever grateful. Thanks DJ Fred! ~ Al & Tammy.

Fred Hart was a fantastic DJ. He came to our house and went over every detail of the wedding with us. He was very helpful as well as friendly, upbeat and professional. He guided us through every step of the reception. He knew exactly what was happening and when. He always knew where we were and kept tract of the time. He even took control of the lights during dinner when he noticed that they were way too bright. His introductions were personally chosen to fit each family member. He constantly reduced our stress and allowed us the freedom to enjoy our reception. Being an older couple, we asked him to remain low key (no props, etc). He was entertaining but professional. We couldn't have been happier. We recommend Fred Hart to any couple planning a reception.

Fred Hart was a fantastic DJ. We first met him at a wedding expo. Many DJ companies were represented, but Fred was the only one who came across with class and professionalism. The others were fake entertainers, wielding props and zany antics designed to make fools of wedding guests. Fred had a great personality, a nice voice and had a sharp appearance. He came to our house and went over every detail of the wedding with us. He was very helpful as well as friendly, upbeat and professional. He guided us through every step of the reception. He knew exactly what was happening and when. He always knew where we were and kept tract of the time. He even took control of the lights during dinner when he noticed that they were way too bright. His introductions were personally chosen to fit each family member. He constantly reduced our stress and allowed us the freedom to enjoy our reception. Being an older couple, we asked him to remain low key (no props, etc). He was entertaining but professional. His equipment was state of the art, his appearance was neat and clean. He hooked all speaking persons up with microphones so not a word was lost. We couldn't have been happier. We recommend Fred Hart to any couple planning a reception.

My husband and I LOVED DJ Fred. He was the easiest decision that we made throughout the whole planning process. DJ Fred went above and beyond our expectations. He was thorough with EVERY detail. He sent us a music list to choose our favorite songs, so that he could get an idea of the kind of music that my husband and I like. Most DJs will play what is popular at the time, but DJ Fred incorporated our favorites. He also made up a "Love Story". He sends the couple a questionnaire that each fills out and complies an amazing story out of each of their answers. Our story was incredible. He did such a great job. Another thing about him is that he does not make the wedding reception about him. Most DJs are very loud and try to be the life of the party. DJ Fred was the complete opposite. He made great introductions and spoke with great elegance. He made the reception about us, not about him. I would DEFINITELY recommend DJ Fred for your wedding reception!

Working with DJ Fred was a wonderful experience for our wedding reception. He genuinely listened to our requests and playlists. He conducted his work in such a professional matter and played wonderful songs throughout the night. And his introductions are flawless. He is a great person to work with.

From the first time we spoke to Fredrick Hart, we knew he was our guy. My husband and I did most of our wedding planning for our PA wedding in Alaska due to the fact that he is military. Fredrick Hart was there for it all. He worked with our time difference and crazy schedule and was more helpful then my wedding coordinator! When we arrived in PA he came to our house and discussed his background, knowledge, and reccomendations with us before we paid him a dime. Minor hiccups occured throughout the day with the bridal party and such but our Super DJ was unphased. I was not one of those brides who wanted to chose every song to be played. I hired a professional so I figured I would allow him to do his thing. Everything from his announcements to the music selection were absolutley fantastic! His selection of music catered to everyone in attendance and I have been hearing rave reviews about him from every guest! He was worth every penny and then some. To give him a 5 star rating is truly an understatement because he made our wedding reception everything I had dreamed of.

DJ Fred was a consumate professional from our very first meeting all the way through the end of our wedding reception. He was accomodating and helpful throughout our special day, even going the extra mile at the last minute to include an additional muscian who required a microphone. DJ Fred had a keen awareness of the room's acoustics and set the mood perfectly with our selection of music. I would reccomend his services.

We all know that music is a big part of a wedding and when my husband and I were looking for a DJ, we didn't hesitate to choose Fredrick Hart. Fred is professional and loves what he does. Our wedding was amazing and there wasn't a sole sitting at the tables when the music started!! Very professional!!

"If DJ Fred had been playing until 6am, we would have danced until 6am!" This was just one of the many, many compliments we received in having you as our DJ for such an important day in our lives. Your level of professionalism and attention to detail made the experience for us and all our guests one to remember for the ages!. And your passion for helping us select the perfect music was second to none. Thank you so much Fred. You REALLY made our day! All the best- Chris & Fernanda

DJ Fred did an incredible job at our wedding on 9/23/11 at Knowlton Mansion, in Philadelphia. He was professional from start to finish. We met with three DJs before making our decision. Fred was the only one who came to our home. He asked us about our vision for the evening, sharing his thoughts on effective ways to manage the music and sound at our venue. This was all before we had a signed contract. Our wedding had been planned for outdoors but we ended up with a rainy day. Fred kept people moving with appropriate music. At the beginning of the evening he played music appealing to the older guests; then, he gradually played more contemporary music until we had only current top 40 hits (my request). Fred has an impressive speaking voice and took pains to properly pronounce both our surnames. My last name is particularly difficult, and Fred may have been the first person to ever pronounce it properly in public (including my college graduation!). My husband is Portuguese, and we gave Fred several songs in that language, which he played at a perfect time. All our Portuguese relatives jumped up to dance. Fred is a classy DJ, but he's also a classy person. He's extremely professional, but he'll also show your guests an awesome time. I married at an older age (40), but if you're a young bride and want to find a DJ both you and your parents will like, I highly recommend Fred. And if you're an "older" person like me, you'll like dealing with someone you know will show up on time, dress neatly, learn your parents' names and treat them accordingly, etc. I never worried about anything having to do with Fred. I called him from time to time with questions about the venue--many things not having to do with music but about food, the order of the ceremony, etc.--and he always responded respectfully and quickly. I highly recommend DJ Fred!

DJ Fred was wonderful!! Classy, professional, enthusiastic, and skilled. ALL of our quests have told us how much they truly enjoyed our wedding! We had a number of our guests tell us how wonderful they thought the dinner music was. And our reception spoke for itself - a perfect mix of "classics" and more modern dance songs had all but a handful of our guests on the dance floor! Thank you DJ Fred for a wonderful and memorable wedding reception!

From the first second we met Fred at our lengthy consultation, we knew he was different than "the rest". When we talked with him, we really felt like he was listening to our needs and visions for our wedding day. His dedication to his profession can't be topped. He takes an amazing amount of pride in his work, and it really showed at our wedding. The whole process was easy and comfortable. We always felt like we were in good hands and that our stresses over wedding planning could be directed elsewhere. He was quick to get back to us, whenever we contacted him, and he made us feel like his top priority despite having many other costumers. Fred will give you the flexibility to either plan your big day in its entirety or rely solely on his expertise. We did a mix of both, and we're truly happy with the results. Our venue was a unique two room set up reception with an outdoor ceremony. He never faltered, and was able to get people on the dance floor despite having a very unique floorplan. Many of our guests commented on his fun, easy going nature. Upon coming home from our honeymoon, we had an amazing surprise awaiting us. He had taken a 1 hour+ video of our ceremony and dance floor action. Not having a videographer, it was an extremely thoughtful act. We would highly recommend his services if you are looking for someone who will treat your wedding as if it were his own. He made an amazing effort to direct attention away from him, and place the focus on the bride and groom. So if you are looking to pay extra for cheesy party favors and a DJ that "steals" the spotlight then this is not your guy. Fred is professional in everyway. We couldn't have been happier to work with him. He captured our vision and truly made our wedding a day we will never forget. Thanks, Fred! ~ Brie Anna & Matt

I recently had the pleasure of working with DJ Fred because we hired him as a wedding DJ. Like you, I was a bride searching for the perfect DJ to provide services for my perfect day. I read through what felt like a ton of comments, and DJ Fred was the stand out because adjectives like: classy, professional, responsive kept repeating
for good reason. My initial correspondence with DJ Fred was very pleasant because he took the time to talk and LISTEN. He was beyond personable and charismatic, and before I knew it, we had already spent an hour chatting. All of our future interactions were like this. No request was every too small or too big. I was his “queen” for the day! So besides all of the above accolades, let me tell you how our wedding day went... FLAWLESSLY! After over a year of planning, everything rushes at once and you are now a part of a whirlwind that is your wedding day. There were times that I tried to step back and appreciate the moment, but it’s difficult to take everything in. So with everything going on around me and my new hubby, there were two things that I am forever grateful that DJ Fred provide to me: Piece of mind and a fabulous time! DJ Fred is based out of Philadelphia, which was almost 3 hours away and in a completely different state then my wedding venue- I was truly worried that I would have to settle for a local Delaware DJ(not the best selection). However DJ Fred, made the trip, was punctual and immediately set up for our outside ceremony and inside reception. He provided all state of the art equipment, i.e. cordless mics, lighting systems. It was such a relief to have that much trust in a vendor, he beyond delivered! Also DJ Fred is a wedding DJ only---note to other brides, this is a must in a DJ. You do not want someone who does this on the side or at similar kinds of events, because weddings are beast of their own. There is a certain finesse and amount of class needed for such a special event. I found DJ Fred to look the part too (very clean cut and professional), since we were having the wedding at our families country club. ALL of our quests have been talking about how “fun” our wedding was
not the food, not the flowers, not the favors, not the placement cards. The wedding held the same strong momentum throughout its duration, truly because of the music selection, which got everyone on the dance floor- oldies my grandmom loved and fresh current music I listen to now. I guess what I loved the most was how natural the night flowed- there were no forced games or tacky dances, it was just good music for good times. The first thing my mom said to me once we returned from our honeymoon and were reminiscing about the day, was how fabulous DJ Fred was and how much our family had fun dancing. My friends are all requesting his name. I can truly say with 110% confidence, DJ Fred made my wedding day what it was- a moment in time that I, with my husband, family and friends, will forever remember as one of the happiest and entertaining days of my life!

We couldn't have been happier with DJ Fred's DJ services. He was professional, classy, responsive, and detail oriented throughout the process. He gained our confidenmuce from the first meeting. From that point on, he was receptive to all questions and changes. Our guests loved his music and the elegance he added to our event. It's amazing one person was able to do so much. Thank you for everything, Fred!

DJ Fred is professional, experienced and classy! After our first meeting with him we knew that the stress of making the most important decision for our reception was done! He accommodated all of our requests, even the last minute changes, with a smile on his face. We gave him a list of about 25 songs and told him to fill in the gaps keeping within the genres/artists we selected and the songs he chose were perfect! We were so impressed with the lights that he set up which really enhanced the room. All of our guests commented on how great the music was and were so surprised by how discreet he was in packing the dance floor. DJ Fred gets the job done by playing music, which is why he is worth every penny, by far the best investment we made.

Wedding DJ's have a bad reputation primarily because of wedding DJ's. Fred Hart is a refreshing exception. We can't recommend his services enough. He really was worth every penny! Every remark to us and our friends concerning the reception were variations of "I can't believe how much fun we had." Given the quality of our reception, his price was outrageously low! If you want a professional wedding DJ for your wedding, you cannot do better.

Dj Fred is absolutely phenomenal. As a bride it is difficult to juggle all the different decisions that need to be made, you have to prioritize. If I have one piece of advise it is that your DJ needs to be one of your priorities. No one will remember your table clothes or your flowers. They remember their experience and the DJ sets the entire feel of your night. DJ Fred made our wedding AMAZING. He somehow lead the night without being an intrusive part of it. EVERY song we asked for was played and from our short list of requests he somehow discovered all our favorite songs without being told. My only complaint is that I love every song and couldn't sit because I had to dance! He had everyone on the dance floor by sheer music genius instead of calling people out. His timing was perfect and made my job as a bride stress free. After a lot of money spent on the wedding my husband and I realized something... value exceeds cost...what you get for what you spend is something to notice I would have paid more than we did for DJ Fred.his value exceeds the cost ten fold

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Frederick Hart Entertainment (DJ Fred). I had a very short window of planning time for my wedding, and wanted it to be as perfect as I always imagined. Fred's professionalism and charm won me over from the start, and I am so grateful that he was available! I spent several hours on the phone with Fred through the planning process, sorting out how the night should flow, what type of music I wanted, when things should happen, etc. Fred would even give ME a call to follow up with how I was doing and to ask if there was anything else I'd thought of that he could do. Fred set the mood just right throughout our whole night. His charm took over the room. Cocktail hour and the beginning of the reception were classy and elegant. Then, when it was time to celebrate, my biggest request was to keep the dance floor packed, and that's exactly what he did. When our magical night had come to an end...I had one word...PERFECTION. After returning from my honeymoom, I am still receiving compliments as to how much fun was had at my wedding by all. Well worth the expense! Thank you, Fred, for being so great at what you do!

We were blown away by a DJ Fred wedding several years ago and knew someday that he would do ours. Our big day arrived this past Saturday and he far and away exceeded our heightened expectations. First, let us say that DJ Fred traveled over 100 miles to our event at The Hotel Hershey in Hershey, PA. That effort, in and of itself, made us feel pretty special. Once there, he worked our cocktail hour and reception to perfection. Each and every single name was pronounced flawlessly when announcing the bridal party and he nailed our entrance, which we wanted to occur simultaneously with a specific point in a song. Our dance floor was packed the entire night. If you are looking for a run-of-the-mill DJ that seeks the limelight with cheesy props and other gimmicks, then DJ Fred is not for you. If you are looking for a DJ that exudes professionalism through his demeanor and presence and measures his success based on how well he exceeds your expectations, then DJ Fred is for you. We would highly recommend DJ Fred and could not have imagined our event without him!
