Hi! My name is Matt and I am the owner and head DJ of Style Points DJs. I began DJing in 2016 with my friend Jerry after discovering a mutual love for electronic dance music from the likes of Zedd, Martin Garrix, and Hardwell. I've found an overwhelming passion in DJing and event coordinating, so much so that I've worked tirelessly to do it full-time since 2021. I believe that the DJ is the cornerstone of wedding vendors and I do everything in my power to make sure that I can make the vision of your wedding into a reality.

Awarded Best of Zola
“DJ Style Points was incredible to work with and played a huge role in making our wedding night a massive success. Our guest list spanned multiple generations, so we really needed someone who knew how to read the room and keep everyone engaged. Matt understood this perfectly—he had the dance floor packed all night and blended the music seamlessly. Any concerns we had regarding song lengths or flow, he was already ahead of it. He uses a custom planning form that was incredibly thorough, which made it so easy for us to help structure our timeline and music preferences. It also didn't go unnoticed by our other vendors; they were all very complimentary of how well he managed the energy throughout the night. If you want a DJ who is organized, professional, and a true master at keeping the party going, look no further!”

She is a top notch professional, incredibly sweet, thoughtful and went above and beyond to make our day magical. Everyone kept telling me how wonderful Bianca and Dan were and how beautiful the bar trailer was. Not only was the trailer gorgeous at the venue, she went as far as to have custom napkins and drink stirrers made for us. It was such a small, sweet surprise and as the bride- there weren’t many surprises for me as I was involved in all the planning so that little touch meant so much.

On top of Rayleen being an amazing photographer, she is a gem of a human and a genuinely nice person! I have had the privilege of working with Rayleen for the past two years! She took our engagement photos, our wedding and I even did a boudoir shoot with her! She surpassed our expectations each time we worked with her! She is very responsive, easy to get in touch with, always willing to chat and answer my endless questions. She listened to my idea list for photo shots, respected the photos that were on my must list which included a lot of big family shots and she also has an incredible eye which I trusted and gave her creative liberty! I am in love with how the pictures came out, they are exactly what I wanted and had in mind! I also love her editing style, the bright true to color, and classic style are just perfect in my opinion! We got lots of photos in our gallery and I love them all! I just wish we had more time and could’ve taken even more photos because of how good they came out! Lastly, if you are thinking about doing a boudoir shoot, I recommend Rayleen! She made me feel so comfortable and I had so much fun doing the photoshoot with her and the photos are equally as amazing!! She has different options for packages which is great and so helpful to fit any budget!”

Wedding photographs you'll return to for fifty years. The moments you were too happy to notice, the portraits you'll frame, the room exactly as it was designed, made quietly by someone already standing where the moment is about to happen. I'm Shukhrat, based in Connecticut and photographing weddings wherever you're celebrating: Newport and the Rhode Island coast, Boston, the Berkshires, the Catskills, the Connecticut shoreline, and further afield. Every wedding has two photographers and an assistant. Digital, 35mm film and licensed aerial photography from one team, and your first gallery, around 500 finished photographs, within a week.

Awarded Best of Zola
“Shukhrat and his wife Rachel just shot our June 8th wedding and we couldn't be happier. They were amazing to work with and the photos are phenomenal! About the pictures: Shukhrat is versatile and very skilled. When we took our engagement photos he provided us with various styles of photos and editing, and then used our feedback to guide the photos he took at our wedding. He is also flexible. We got married in a city park and there were wayyyy more people in the park than we were expecting at 6:00pm at night. Without missing any of the candid details or true-to-life colors that we wanted, Shukhrat was able to frame the photos and/or alter the lighting so that the park goers were barely visible in the background. Both Shukhrat and Rachel are also very skilled at giving direction when needed, but letting you do your own thing the rest of the time. Neither my husband nor I have a lot of experience in front of a camera—they gave us enough direction to feel confident, without making us feel stifled or overly posed. We wanted photos that felt organic and genuine, and they were really able to capture that. Working with Shukhrat and Rachel: The two of them were a dream to work with. Incredibly professional--very communicative, punctual, quick turnaround time on photos. And they are also just lovely people. You spend so much time on your wedding day with your photographers, it's really important to feel comfortable with them, and we certainly did. They brought both a fun, but calming energy, easing our pre-wedding jitters before the ceremony, and leaning into the excitement as the night went on. Although we hardly know them, they felt like friends. We are so glad we booked Shukhrat for our wedding!”

We take the time to get to know you so that your wedding film reflects your unique journey together. We’re drawn to the beauty of those candid moments—the joyful smiles, heartfelt tears, and loving embraces—and we transform them into cinematic treasures that you and your loved ones will cherish for generations.

“Treefilms is a stellar photography and videography company! After our venue, they were the second vendor we booked as photography and videography was very important to us. Ashley was responsive and kind from the beginning! She was open to our ideas in regard to location and then made it look even better in the photo video! We felt so comfortable during that shoot and at our wedding in front of the camera with them. They gave us enough direction that it was easy to know what to do, but did not result in stiff or overly posed pictures. The candid shots that they captured throughout the wedding day are photos we will cherish; they were able to capture all the emotions so perfectly. The team worked seamlessly with all the other vendors, they truly know what they’re doing! (Shoutout to Ashley for doing up the buttons on my dress!) Our wedding video is a work of art, I don’t think it’s comparable to the standard videos produced by other vendors. Treefilms is the vendor we recommend most to friends and family, and we look forward to working with them again in the future!”

“As a wedding photographer, I work with a wide range of planners, but Tanya from Bookmarked Weddings truly stands out. Our most recent wedding together was a 2025 New Year’s Eve wedding, and it was clear from the start that this wasn’t just another event—it was a fully immersive experience, thanks in large part to Tanya’s vision and execution. The day was filled with intricate details: a balldrop at midnight filled with bubbles, an elegant champagne tower, and a timeline packed with special moments and intentional design. Tanya handled it all with a calm, confident presence and exceptional attention to detail. She built a full-day timeline that was both comprehensive AND realistic—which meant everything ran smoothly, and I was able to capture the day naturally without unnecessary stress or delays. Tanya’s coordination behind the scenes allowed the couple to stay present and enjoy every moment while ensuring that vendors like myself had exactly what we needed to do our jobs well. Her thoughtful approach and clear communication made a huge difference throughout the day. The energy of a New Year’s Eve wedding is already electric, but Tanya elevated it with a sense of elegance, organization, and creativity that made the whole celebration feel effortless and magical. If you're looking for a planner who can manage complex, high-energy events with grace, precision, and style, Tanya from Bookmarked Weddings is it. Every time I know we are going to work together, I fist pump the air in celebration because it will be FLAWLESS! — Cait Fletcher Cait Fletcher Photography”

“We booked Wild Wild Zest for a mocktail bar at my wedding in September of 2025 in Fairhaven, MA. They were AMAZING!! The drinks were incredible, people raved about them throughout the reception. I personally loved the customization process and the ability to make a bride's drink and the groom's drink that was showcased at the bar. Their syrups are mostly all homemade and SO delicious! Jasmine and her husband were extremely kind, helpful, and easy to work with!!! I would absolutely recommend them for your event.”

“I am extremely happy with how my hair and make up looked on my wedding day! Shelby listened and didn't neglected my preferences, she understood what I wanted and match all my expectations for the big day! I was so afraid of having over make up or lots of hair spray and excessive appearance! And that didn't happen at all because she was super professional! I just loved the way I looked natural and bright, I love my pictures and I will always remember that day as the perfect day. Shelby is part of it and a big THANK YOU to her!”

“Sal and the team at After Hours went above and beyond to make our wedding so special and fun. Beyond just being the DJ, Sal made us feel really comfortable because of his level of experience. He took his time explaining how the day and night would be structured. After Hours provided a great and easy to use form that allowed us a lot of customization for the music we wanted to hear throughout the day. The photo booth team was also fantastic and did a wonderful job with guiding guests and putting together a beautiful scrapbook. Overall, going with After Hours was one of our best choices about the wedding - going with a team that knows what they are doing really took the pressure off of us so that we could just enjoy the day! Thank you Sal and team!”

“Words cannot express how thankful my husband and I are for Rye Street Events! Caroline was absolutely amazing to work with. She was sooo personable, punctual and professional and friendly right from the very start. I knew we made the right decision from the beginning with her very fast response time. We chose to do month-of coordination for our wedding and Caroline met with us ahead of time to explain her role prior to us deciding to go with her. She ensured that our wedding rehearsal was organized and kept everyone on track, and that our wedding day was as smooth as possible, she took care of all the bumps, when we were running behind she was quick on her feet to move things around to keep us on schedule without feeling stressed. I cant thank Caroline and her assistant Maddie enough for their help making our wedding day truly unforgettable. They even broke everything down and helped us to clear out the venue when the wedding was over which was such a HUGE help! I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Rye Street Events and am so thankful that I can across them. You will not be disappointed!”

“Rachel absolutely blew us away. She brought our fall color scheme to life in the most beautiful way. The arch was stunning and the table arrangements tied everything together perfectly. I barely had to give direction, she just got it and took all the guesswork out of the process. Walking into our ceremony and seeing the flowers for the first time literally took my breath away. Everything felt so warm, romantic, and exactly like us. I can’t thank them enough for making our day look and feel so magical.”
