Nelson really helped make our wedding reception a wonderful success. He played a great selection of tasteful music at an appropriate volume, kept the energy going all night and really made it an amazing evening.

Nelson Cruz Entertainment was everything my wife and I were hoping for when we were looking for the music for our wedding. Nelson was extremely personable, professional, and sincere. Anything that we had questions about Nelson was there for us. The receptions was wonderful; their DJ booth was beautifully lit up and they were so very accomodating at every point during the night. The music was perfect! We filled out a Playlist/No Playlist and Nelson took it and played the best mix of music to get everyone out on the dance floor all night long (even Nelson and his partern were dancing behind the booth!) Thank you so much for such a memorable night! Highly Highly reccomended!!!

We booked Nelson Cruz Entertainment for both our wedding DJ and photo booth. Nelson was always prompt with emails and phone calls and is genuinely a great guy. He was there the night of our wedding to make sure everything ran smoothly. Our DJ was Hugo and he was amazing. The dance floor was filled the entire night. In fact, when Hugo announced that the first round of shuttle buses were about to depart for the hotel, the entire dance floor boo'd (that's a sign of a great party and a great DJ)! We have had multiple friends say they will book with Nelson when they get married, and even more friends have told us how awesome they thought Hugo was. The photo booth was really nice as well. It was a hard sided booth with the option of color, sepia, or black and white photo strips. We opted for the guest book package so guests could leave one of their two printed strips in the book with a message. You can even personalize the upper logo on the photo strip prior to your event. Nelson also brought along props (glasses, mustaches, etc) that kept the photos lively and fun. Overall, we were very pleased with Nelson, Hugo, and our whole experience with this company. You will not be disappointed!

Nelson Cruz Music and Entertainment was one of the highlights of my wedding. Dealing with Nelson was nothing but a pleasure and the DJ had the dance floor going all night (and the ages ranged from 16-85). The Photo Booth was a huge hit as well and will capture some fun, special memories from my wedding. Not only would I recommend Nelson to a friend, I would go as far to say you're not getting the best unless you go with Nelson Cruz Music and Entertainment. First class experience from beginning to end. Thanks again Nelson!!

Nelson and Fredo were amazing. From the moment we first met Nelson, we knew he was our guy. His talent and experience are things that he has passed on to his DJs and we knew whoever he gave us would more than live up to our expectations. Our reception was amazing, Fredo kept the party going all night long --- we honestly could not have asked for a better DJ! I would absolutely recommend Nelson Cruz Entertainment!!! Thank you Nelson!

DJ Neza was phenomenal! He understood our vision for our wedding music with little explanation and executed a top notch evening. The dance floor was never empty, which was what we wanted. He also has a coolness factor, unlike a lot of corny wedding DJ's.

Nelson Cruz Entertainment were referred to us through a family friend. We were having a hard time finding an entrainment company that was comfortable blending a Peruvian culture and a traditional Italian culture under the same tent. We were looking for someone who could bring both cultures together for an amazing night. Nelson decided to meet with us directly which made my wife feel really comfortable. My wife felt better knowing that he had such great experience working in NYC. He was able to understand the challenges we were facing and made some great recommendations on how to blend our cultures together. After the first meeting we were ready to sign contracts and leave a deposit with Nelson. His time management and his expertise in the area of Entertainment is by far the best! He really made you feel confident in what he was going to do. Nelson recommended DJ Neza which was the life of the party. He played the right music and blended the culture together to give us an amazing evening of Latin/Italian dancing. My parents and my wife's parents danced to music from their wedding and it really brought waves of nostalgic emotions across the room. After dinner was served DJ Neza turned the ballroom into a "NYC Club" playing all types of music. We were so happy to see our family and friends, and even shy nieces and nephews on the dance floor. Everyone could not stop thanking us for such an amazing night. We would highly recommend Nelson Cruz Entertainment, it was a pleasure having Nelson and his team entertain our wedding. DJ Neza was great, Nelson's entertainment staff really got the party going. They catered to both age groups, the older and younger crowd. We really had a blast and Nelson really went out of his way to make sure every detail was carried out as planned. Nelson... thank you so much for making our wedding truly memorable!

I purchased a Groupon with Mr Cruz to provide a photo booth for my wedding. Despite booking via phone and e-mail conformation, without any notice...he DID NOT EVEN SHOW UP TO MY WEDDING. I contacted Mr. Cruz before I actually purchased the photo booth Groupon in order to assure he was available the date of my wedding (8/17/12). When he told me he was available, I immediately purchased the Groupon and called him back, booking with him using the Groupon purchase code for the date of my wedding. Several months before my wedding, I emailed Mr Cruz again for confirmation, which I received. When I arrived at my reception venue, not only was Mr. Cruz not there, my coordinator could not even get in contact him. Instead of him contacting my coordinator, I received an email from him DURING my wedding telling me that I was never confirmed and scolding me for not calling him that week. I responded to his e-mail with a voicemail message and e-mail proof of his confirmation. Once proven wrong, he then apologized via e-mail to me promising me a refund through Groupon and a photo booth at my next family gathering. (Too bad for me that I am not planning to get married again.) SO, Mr Cruz did not show up and provide the services that I paid for, denying me not only the favors for my guests, but the accompanying guest book he was supposed to also provide (which was INCLUDED in the Groupon I purchased) My wedding coordinator stapled together pieces of 8x10 computer paper for people to sign. Very embarrassing for both me and my husband. The rudeness of this man was a horrible experience for me and my husband, making us very upset on what should have ONLY been a happy day. Of course, not only will I not be doing any business with Mr. Cruz again, I would not recommend him to ANYONE.

> This was an unfortunate occurance. I can confirm availability but can not provide services until a voucher is submitted. I hope you can understand with no groupon voucher submitted, your name and groupon purchase code not existing on my groupon list (this in an oversight on groupons part) and no communication from you since March that we can't just show up to a job 5 months later. Off course I wanted groupon to refund you and yes I offered my services for future use at no cost because I felt that was the right thing to do. You are entitled to your opinion and I wish you the best, NC

Absolute pleasure to work with. Nelson Cruz sits down with his clients and gets to know them first hand to be able to provide them with exactly what it is they want for their event. A (5.0) rating does not do justice to what Nelson Cruz entertainment brings to the table, should be a 10!! We had a few friends at our wedding who are in the Dj business and they all had nothing but the highest praise for Nelson Cruz. One went on to say that it was the best DJ he has ever seen! Highly recommend to anyone looking to make their event one for the ages!!

Nelson's professionalism is outstanding! We were able to enjoy our wedding without having to worry about the details!

The photobooth options are the best around. The video review while you wait for your photos is priceless! Happy, helpful, and punctual! Nelson Cruz was awesome!

I had the pleasure to work with Nelson Cruz Music and Entertainment for the first time in Dec 2011. We hired them to provide photo booth services for our organization's 50th Anniversary Holiday party. The booth was a BIG hit! Everyone was having fun in the booth, especially with the props (wigs/hats/sunglasses, etc) provided by Nelson Cruz. The photo strips were printed moments later and given to our guests to take home. The photo strip included our event logo which adds a nice touch to the photos. The whole experience from start to finish was great. Nelson Cruz was very responsive to all my email requests, even weeks after my event was over. His staff was very friendly and helpful. The pricing was the best deal I was able to find too! Note: at the time of my booking, I wasn't sure if the video option was necessary. I am so glad we signed up for the video option. Guests have the option of recording a 30-second video message before the photo session starts. I was pleasantly surprised to see that when the photo session starts (four snapshots), there was video captured of everyone "striking the pose" before each snapshot. It was interesting and funny...like watching a reality show featuring people you know. It was great to see the pictures AND the video of how much fun guests were having. There were many funny moments that all guests were able to view and "re-live" even one or two weeks AFTER the event was over. When made available online for everyone to see, it re-created a buzz about the event again. The online access is something that Nelson Cruz handles for you! All you have to to do is forward the email, containing link and password. He also sent me the link to download the files to my computer so they can be treasured for as long as I want them. From my personal experience, Nelson Cruz gets high marks for all aspects of their services. I would definitely hire them again and highly recommend them for functions where you want to deliver memorable moments!

I recently purchased a groupon for a photo booth use from Nelson Cruz Entertainment. I confirmed availability and booked my wedding date prior to purchasing the groupon. The next day they called and said they made a mistake and would not be able to honor the date because they were already booked. They were very rude and offered little assistance in trying to remedy the situation. I am very disappointed!!

> We did have a double booking and we apologized for the confusion and groupon gave them a complete refund within 24 hours. In 20 year of creating events for clients I never experienced someone so irate and threatening. He wanted the photo booth on a Saturday middle of the day which would make our booth unavailable all day. I offered him an afternoon booking but he was very rude and after threatening me and telling me he will go online and disparage my name I kindly asked him to please not call us again. He called 4 times that day and I wish he would post with his real name to at least give him some sort of validity. This site is for reviews of services rendered and I never serviced him. Please take a look at all the wonderful things people are saying about or services. I can offer you to contact over 200 clients that will be happy to share their experience with Nelson Cruz Entertainment. Sincerely, Nelson Cruz

I used Nelson Cruz for my photobooth and it was such a great decision. I was on the fence about booking one and I am so glad I did. Nelson was great to work with and really made sure I had nothing to worry about. He coordinated with my venue and took care of everything. The attendant they provided was so nice and helpful and all my guests said it was one of the best parts of the reception. There were copies of the photos for guests and I received a digital copy of every picture. Going through those pictures with my husband was so much fun after the wedding.

I was going back and forth on the idea of having a photo booth at my wedding. I had been to a couple that had one and they were a hit, but during my research I found it to be a little expensive on top of what we were paying for our photographer so I had given up on the idea. But right when I was deciding against it a groupon came out through Nelson Cruz entertainment for more than 50% off a 4 hour rental and I couldn't pass it up. I purchased this groupon and called and booked my date. The company was very responsive and friendly. During the months leading up to my wedding any questions I had they were answered right away. The wedding day came and the attendant was amazing. Everyone raved about how friendly and engaging he was. The line for the booth was all the way down to the dance floor most of the wedding and people raved about how amazing and fun it was. I would recommend them to anyone for your wedding. The booth was huge and fit a good amount of people and I would recommenced using the props, so fun! My friend is using them next October for her wedding and I can't wait to see them again!

Nelson Cruz was fantastic. He was SUPER easy to work with, professional, and made sure my guest had a great time. I can't recommend highly enough!!

Working with Nelson was easy and seamless from the beginning. He was very professional and made me feel comfortable and confident that everything would be perfect. DJ Neza was amazing! He was able to keep the dance floor packed all night long with a perfect mix of songs that appealed to both, our older and younger crowds. We could have kept on dancing all night long! I am still getting rave reviews from all my guests and can fully and confidently recommend Nelson Cruz Music and Entertainment.

We worked with Nelson for 2 Bat Mitzvah events and would work with him again in a second. He is professional, detail oriented, and great with the kids. Both of my daughters loved working with Nelson because he has a special gift of making them feel like a real star. He played the music and games they requested and knew just how to get all the kids involved. His team added special touches that set our day apart from any other event, making it unique and all its own. I highly recommend Nelson Cruz Entertainment.

I was pleased with the service. Our guest really enjoyed the selection of music and the DJ's courtesy to requests.

I am a New York bride who recently got married in South Beach Florida. After extensive research, I chose Nelson Cruz Entertainment. I was very impressed by Nelson’s stellar reputation in NYC and Miami. Nelson is AMAZING. His charisma and experience made him very easy to work with. His experience in the entertainment field is unmatched. Planning a destination wedding can be very difficult. I faced no difficulties with Nelson by my side. For the ceremony and cocktail hour he provided a Spanish Guitarist whose tone and elegance set the stage for our romantic ceremony. For the reception he provided DJ Neza who rocked the night. I extended the wedding, two extra hours, because he was that good. I had an outdoor evening wedding, by the beach, and needed ALOT of lighting. His lighting and effects were phenomenal; they made the ceremony space elegant and romantic and later transformed that same area into a pumping night club. He also provided a coffee bar and cigar rollers, which were a huge hit. Unlike other business owners, he was actually there; making sure every little detail was addressed. His presence allowed me to enjoy my wedding without having to worry about my vendors. Thank you, Nelson Cruz Entertainment, for making my wedding flawless and memorable.

We got married in June, 2010 and the one thing we did not have to worry about from the start was our DJ! Nelson did a fantastic job coordinating our event. They played all of our requested songs and kept everyone on the dance floor all night long. From the first time we spoke and met with Nelson we knew we had our DJ. He paid close attention to every little detail that we wanted and made it happen. I would definitely recommend Nelson Cruz Entertainment to anyone planning any kind of event. The style and energy he brings is top notch! Chelsea and Dennis K.

Nelson Cruz provided the dj for our October 2008 wedding reception on Cape Cod. The dj handled a challenging site (the middle of a farm!) and pulled off a perfectly coordinated cocktail hour and dinner reception. The dance floor was full all night, and we got so many compliments on the music selection and the dj's professionalism. Nelson was wonderful to work with; we couldn't recommend him more highly.
