Horrible!!!

I hired AMAR entertainment for my wedding and I was assigned a DJ. After countless hours spent to plan out all the details, I learned one week prior to my wedding time that my DJ wasn’t available and Sam assigned two guys instead where one of them has no idea about Arabic weddings and the other one (who was an Arab DJ under training) to do my wedding. I learned about this fact literally one week prior to the wedding time and by coincidence during my final conversation with Sam. Unfortunately, it was too late to make any changes at this point and both DJs managed to ruin the vibe of my wedding making most of my guests leaving earlier than scheduled. I will never use AMAR entertainment for any of my future events neither will I recommend them to anyone as they showed lack of transparency, professionalism, and competency.

The Best in The Business!

If you’re reading this, you’re probably looking for some sort of DJ service for an event. I always read all the reviews before committing to anything. Well, look no further! I hired AMAR Music & Entertainment for my wedding day and I can’t even put into words how great DJ Sam and the crew were. They exceeded my already high expectations. Highly recommended!

COVID-19 Wedding with No Flexibility

Wedding was booked for June 2020 and for various reasons my husband and I decided to completely cancel the reception and proceed with a very intimate ceremony (5 people per restrictions at that time). Would like to mention that ALL of our vendors worked with us. Literally every single one with at least a portion of our deposits returned. Except Amar. Email attached telling me I could have “easily” rescheduled. Reason I am writing this is I was completely appalled by that insensitive comment.

Amazing amazing amazing!

We are so happy we went with DJ Sammy. He was our DJ, MC, and took of our lighting & the screens/video setup. From beginning to end he was not only so professional & responsiveness, but made the whole process easy & enjoyable. As the wedding date neared he was very on top of things - ensuring we walked through the timeline & all the expectations for songs, lighting & video. His level of detail made sure that the night went so smoothly. On the day-of he took care of all the setup well ahead of time & had the most fantastic energy throughout the night. He kept things moving on schedule as the MC and his music selection was AMAZING. We still get compliments & requests for the night's playlist from different guests even 6 months later. He is so experienced & talented at what he does - we are SO happy we went with DJ Sam and definitely recommend him to anyone.

You dont need a day-of cordinator when you have AMAR Entertainment!

I cant say this enough! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for not only making my wedding experience stress free when it comes to the entertainment portion of it. But for also managing the backend of things such as the lighting and the timemanagment.

For our wedding, we got the whole deluxe system; this included lighting, the dj facade, flutter (for our first dance), surround sound system, Wireless mics, DJ SAM (who is AMMMMAZING), our MC for the night; Tammer (who was hilarious and kept us inline) and our fun an exciting Zafee group.

Guests at our wedding were completely flored by the entertainment of the night.the Zafee at the begining of our entrance kept people engaged and they incorporated our cultures; Lebanese and Egyptian.

Tammer and DJ Sam followed our schedule and kept us informed of any changes or recommendations to keep us alligned with time. We literally danced all night until we couldnt dance anymore.


Working with Amar entertainment was the best decision I have ever made and I'm a pretty harsh critic!

Sam was a great DJ! We were so happy with his professionalism and responsiveness to us. Whenever we had any questions, sam was always available to make sure everything was taken care of. The day of the wedding, the songs were amazing. He played everything we requested for. He was there on time and ready with his team! Thank you Sam! We will not hesitate to recommend you!

We can't say enough good things about Sam, our DJ and AMAR Entertainment! Sam really is AMAZING! He is professional, down to earth, accommodating and so much fun to work with. It's clear he is passionate about his work and truly he is such a talented individual. The sound and music at our wedding was fun, energetic and everyone had an amazing time! The dance floor was packed the entire night. Sam got everyone dancing and we loved that he interacted with the crowd the entire night which made the night even more fun and the crowd ALIVE! We are happy to say we still get compliments about the music and playlist at our wedding! Everyone says they didn't want the night to end LOL. Thank you Sam for going above and beyond and treating us like your family.

Sam, is a great person to work with. He went above and beyond with helping us organize our wedding reception.
I'm the worst at remembering song titles and artist and all I had to do was say a couple of lines of the songs I wanted and he knew exactly what I was referring to! He made our song list in no time!
Sam, Tamar & Dimitri did a great job with sound and lighting and I also loved the flutter during our first dance! They definitely rocked the party at our wedding. They felt the crowd and kept the party going.
Sam also played my favourite song as the last song at the end of the night. He really pays attention to detail!!!
