My husband and I used Direct Entertainment for our DJ and videographer for our wedding and we could not be more pleased!! The team was professional, great at communication, very kind and professional, and they helped make our day absolutely perfect! Jeff, our DJ kept the dance floor alive ALL NIGHT!! When the music had to stop at the end of the night, the dance floor was still completely full and no one wanted it to end. He did a great job announcing the events of the night, made sure that our ceremony music was perfect, and he stuck to our wedding playlist with the exception for a couple guest requests (which we were happy to allow). We were so happy and thankful to have Jeff there! Sie, our videographer also did a wonderful job! We have not yet received our video as our wedding was less than 2 weeks ago, but I already know it is going to be amazing. He was so great with communication, was prompt with his timing, and he even set up a second camera for guests to break away and give us well wishes for our marriage, which I'm so excited to watch back. He was very professional and wonderful to work with. We decided to add videography at the last minute because we thought we might regret not having it, and I am SO happy we asked Jim at Direct Entertainment if they had someone available for our day just a month before, and they did!! Jim, the coordinator at Direct Entertainment frequently checked in with us, asked us questions about ourselves, and genuinely made us feel like he cared about us and our special day. He was great to work with leading up to being assigned our designated DJ and videographer, and even after, he checked in to make sure we were happy and that all of the planning was going well. Overall, we would 1000% recommend Direct Entertainment for any wedding entertainment needs! I know they also offer several other services that we did not utilize, and I'm sure they are wonderful as well! Photos courtesy of Lang at Wandering Wolf Photography.

The moment we chose our venue, booking DJ Peter Naughton was our very next step and we are so glad we did. After reading his stellar reviews, exploring his helpful blog posts, and hearing from the Lincklaen House team how amazing he is, we knew we’d be in good hands. But even with all the high praise, Peter still exceeded every single expectation. His organization blew our minds. He crafted a beautifully detailed wedding timeline that helped us stay on track and calm throughout the planning process. He was proactive, communicative, and so generous with his time and expertise. From coordinating our wedding party’s grand entrance to perfectly trimming down the verses of our first dance songs, Peter made everything feel effortless. He honored every single request and preference we had and then some. His thoughtful approach and seamless behind-the-scenes coordination made the entire day run smoothly. The energy he brought to our reception was unmatched, and the dance floor was never empty. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the music and how talented our DJ was! Peter’s uplighting choices brought our space to life, and his attention to every little detail was something we’ll never forget. He truly cares and that’s what makes him extraordinary. I’m actually writing this the very next morning because he deserves a review this glowing. He was simply the best decision we made. Thank you, Peter, for everything!

  • Serves East Syracuse, NY

We are a full production DJ company with extensive sound, light, and video options. Since 1993 our belief has been that each song needs to be the absolute best choice for that particular moment in your party – nothing inappropriate or overly cliché and no filler!

My number one wish for my wedding day was to enjoy the music and dance the night away. And the day of, I actually never left the dance floor! I knew from the moment I first met with Black Tie Entertainment that I was going to be happy with the service, and they delivered! Everyone at the wedding also got up to dance at some point and joined in the fun! This is huge for me because I have gone to other weddings in the past where I have barely danced at all due to lack of variety or lack of fun music. Black Tie is the way to go! And I will definitely reach out to Black Tie for any future major events!

Rd Entertainment Dj Services Inc.

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,395
  • Serves East Syracuse, NY

With 20 years of experience as a musician and entertainer, I understand the importance of flow, timing and reading a crowd. For over a decade I have been hosting and dj-ing weddings and private events. People ask me constantly what separates us from other dj services. It's simple, there is no ego or persona that is being represented. No hokey props, radio announcing or other tacky tactics. Honing in on what someone wants, is the key to a successful party. The Client is the window to the event. It just takes someone with experience to know what questions to ask in order to provide an unforgettable event that reflects your taste.

We could not have asked for a more organized, friendly, or FUN DJ in DJ Rocko!! As a dance teacher and lifelong dancer myself, the dancing part of the wedding was always very important to me. DJ Rocko was so easy to work with the I’m not exaggerating when I say the dance floor was full all night! We could not have asked for a better DJ or MC. Thank you Rocko!!!

Put my experience to work for you and I will make your wedding reception what you've always dreamed of.

Perfect Sounds was the perfect DJ Service for our wedding. They showed how professional they are when I forgot to tell them that "Otto the Orange" was coming to our wedding reception. I didn't even know Otto was there until he made a grand entrance with the help of Perfect Sounds. They handled everything without even mentioning this omission to me on my special day. They just took care of it. We highly recommend Perfect Sounds DJ Music & Entertainment. They are without question the best.

Each song blended into the next so smoothly. People were avoiding going to the bathroom and barely anyone touched our dessert because they didn't want to stop dancing.

Brian is one of the best wedding DJs in the business. In the past two years I’ve been to eight different weddings. Brian was the DJ for three of the eight, and the party/reception component of the events was never more fun than when Brian was driving the bus. He is an east coast DJ, but he spun tracks at both of my sister-in-laws’ weddings and as we were searching for a DJ for our own wedding we reached out just to see what he would charge for a wedding in Chicago. Turns out the price was right. Brian traveled to Chicago, MC’d our entire wedding, brought all of the equipment necessary and made our day exceptional in every way. I think there are a few things that really set Brian apart from other wedding DJs. Anyone can stand there and run through a playlist, but Brian went off book a few times to match and capture the energy of the guests. As we were in the midst of the planning process he added zero stress, and just calmly walked us through the process of selecting songs. He had suggestions and recommendations along the way. He even brought an extra speaker so that we could plug our digital piano in and the pianist would be able to play loudly enough. Overall, we can’t recommend Brian highly enough. You will not regret choosing him to DJ at your wedding, party, event. Whatever it is, Brian is a huge value add and a pleasure to work with.

We were able to do introductions, first dances and speeches all thanks to his set up. He extended his set and kept the party going despite the crazy turn of events. We are SO GRATEFUL to his preparation and our guests were so complimentary of his professionalism and fun playlist. Thank you!!!!

Wedding advice: hire Cover Story Entertainment! We worked with CSE for our July wedding. We went with the ceremony package, 6-piece band as well as their uplighting and photo booth services. Our experience with CSE from start to finish was 10/10. Chris and Elena are incredibly organized, communicative, and responsive. They always answered all of our questions (and I asked many!) Alec, Alex, Savannah, and the rest of the band members rocked it all night. One of the first things guests commented on about our wedding was how amazing the band was. One of our guests commented that they wish they could cancel their DJ and fly CSE to their wedding in Portugal because they loved them so much. Extremely talented musicians for an awesome price, which make a huge difference when wedding planning. When we reflect on our wedding day, Cover Story is a huge part of what made it such a memorable night. -MK AJ Dunne
