Elevating Your Event—Your Way

Since 1999, Starz Entertainment DJ Services has been a go-to name for weddings and special events across Scottsdale, Phoenix, and Northern Arizona. Founded on the promise “Your Event… Done Your Way,” their philosophy blends professionalism with personalization—ensuring no two events ever feel the same. This is not a “press play and walk away” operation; it’s a team that listens to each client’s story, understands their priorities, and builds a musical and hosting experience that reflects that vision from start to finish.

Their reach extends far beyond Scottsdale city limits, regularly serving Sedona, Flagstaff, Prescott, Payson, and other destination spots. This versatility makes them a natural fit for local celebrations and couples traveling to Arizona for its stunning desert and mountain wedding backdrops. The team is equally comfortable in elegant ballrooms, rustic barns, or outdoor resort venues, adjusting equipment, music style, and presentation to match the space and atmosphere.

For couples who value both artistry and organization, Starz offers a complete planning toolkit: a secure online portal for selecting songs, creating timelines, and adding event notes anytime—day or night. This isn’t just a convenience; it’s a safeguard that keeps everything in one place so nothing gets missed, even when planning months in advance.

What Sets Starz Apart

Proven Track Record & Trust

With more than 25 years in business, Starz Entertainment has built a reputation for reliability and consistency. Every DJ on the roster is a seasoned professional, not a weekend hobbyist. They maintain memberships with the American Disc Jockey Association (ADJA) and the National Association of Mobile Entertainers (NAME), follow industry standards for performance and ethics, and carry full liability insurance—an important reassurance for venues and clients alike.

Technical Excellence

Their library spans over 50,000 songs across every genre—updated weekly to include the latest hits—paired with professional-grade sound systems capable of handling intimate gatherings or large-scale receptions with 500+ guests. Lighting options range from subtle uplighting to energetic, club-style effects that can transform a dance floor. Backup gear is always on-site, ensuring events stay on track even if equipment issues arise.

More Than Just Music

Clients consistently note that Starz DJs act as event directors as much as entertainers. They manage the evening’s flow—introducing the couple, announcing speeches, guiding guests through formal dances, and subtly coordinating with caterers and photographers so no moment is missed. This dual role keeps events running smoothly without the couple having to micromanage.

Client Voices: Real Experiences, Real Results

Jimmy kept the dance floor alive all night.

“Jimmy was AWESOME! He kept the dance floor going all night, played everything we asked for, and adjusted when the crowd reacted. He was communicative, flexible, and just a joy to work with.”

Every guest noticed the difference.

“BEST! DJ! EVER! The music was spot on, the MC work was flawless, and our guests never stopped dancing. Even people who never dance were out there with us.”

Planning was as easy as the party was fun.

“We loved the online planning tools—they made choosing music and mapping the night so easy. Jimmy gave suggestions where we needed them, but never pushed his own agenda. He made our night stress-free.”

Energy from first song to last.

“From the ceremony music to the last song of the night, the energy never dropped. He read the crowd perfectly and kept every age group engaged.”

With 4.9/5 on WeddingWire from 346 reviews and 5.0 on Google from over 240 reviewers, Starz’s ratings aren’t just numbers—they’re consistent endorsements from couples who found their celebrations exceeded expectations.
