DJ Alex Brown Entertainment 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $2,700
  • Serves Essex, CT

DJ Alex Brown has over a decade of experience providing dance floor filling DJ and MC services for weddings and events. He offers a full range of standard services for weddings such as uplighting, custom monogram, ceremony and cocktail music, and more.

We hired Alex to be the DJ for our wedding in May 2025 and he did such a great job! I had mentioned to him that my dream was to have a disco ball at the wedding, but having the reception in a tent made that a little tricky. However, unlike some other DJ’s I met with – Alex was hyped for the disco ball idea and immediately started thinking of creative ways we could make it work! Flash forward to the wedding day – the disco ball was PERFECT! The systems this team uses to plan the wedding day is really easy to use and we appreciated the option to be able to recommend a few songs, but also have a do-not-play list as well. We had let Alex know the varying ages of our reception guests and he made sure to create a playlist that hit the older and younger generation, so the dancefloor was always bumping! I’d recommend Alex as a DJ for anyone in the Rhode Island area, but definitely recommend the disco ball set up with him!

Eliza was the florist for our Jewish/Hindu wedding in late October in the Berkshires, and we cannot say enough wonderful things. She helped our vision truly come to life, but also gave guidance when needed which I appreciated. She created a custom mandap/chuppah and incorporated some personal family heirlooms which made it so special. Eliza is a true professional and also a lovely person to work with.

A photographer with 10 years of experience specializing in love stories, portraiture, and immortalizing a moment filled to the brim with feeling.

When I am not behind the camera I enjoy eating good food and drinking wine (again, I’m French), going on roadtrips with my wonderful boyfriend, Max, and cuddling up with a good book - my favorite is The Pillars of the Earth - and my cutie pie cat, Jack.

Coco was an absolute dream to shoot our engagement photos with! Before our shoot, she really got to know our story, our style preferences, & then created the perfect shoot that really encapsulates who we are as a couple. She made us feel so comfortable while shooting & came with so many fun ideas that really helped us show up as ourselves. She also made sure to include everything that is most precious to us—our home, our doggo, & the city we fell in love in! We will cherish these photos forever.

Vibrant was fantastic for our March wedding. They brought amazing energy and class to our event, and guests are still raving about them a month later. The dance floor was packed for the entire evening. Lauren and Marlon are a dynamite lead-singing duo, and the instrumentalists are each incredibly talented. Justin was very responsive and easy to connect with leading up to the day, and accommodated all of our requests and needs with ease. They were also very helpful with recommendations based on extensive experience, and even allowed the bride's sister to play their keyboard for the ceremony, which was an over-and-above request they did not have to agree to. Overall can't recommend this group enough!

In today's world everything is extremely overpriced and service is terrible. My wedding was very stressful for me because of this. I did not have a DJ or a Photographer and honestly was considering just something small scale, until I talked to Ed from DJ Double E. I would give them 10 stars out 5. From the minute I talked to Ed it was a breath of fresh air from the million other outrageously priced DJ's. The price is unbeatable but that's not why I would recommend them. They are absolutely phenomenal and made my entire wedding. The music was perfect from ceremony to the last dance. They were so professional, so involved and so fun. We had a daytime (early) wedding. It is so challenging to get people up and have a good time at 12:30 in the afternoon, I was having meltdowns about it, they reassured me but had the entire place up and having fun. You didn't know if it was day or night. They helped us more than the attendants at the venue. Over 100 guests said how amazing they were. The pictures they took could not be any better. Any other DJ who had packages like this (photo booth etc...) were THOUSANDS, yes THOUSANDS, more!!! I really hate to admit but I'm not easily pleased however I would put my name on the line for DJ Double E after how they made my wedding. DJ Double E exceeded all my and my husband's expectations and -consider yourself lucky if you hire them for any event. I'll be calling them again!!!

The photographer was so friendly and personable, and even helped tie the groomsmen's neckties and had a sewing kit that saved a strap on one of the bridesmaids' dresses. I can't say enough about how much we appreciated their professionalism and dedication to making our day special.

Jenni is an absolute gem of a human and a phenomenal photographer. She is so sweet and such a lovely personality. We first worked with Jenni to take our engagement photos, and my husband and I immediately felt comfortable and familiar with her. We are not comfortable in front of the camera at all, but Jenni somehow made us feel like we'd been taking photos together with her for years. After our engagement shoot, I knew Jenni needed to be our wedding photographer. We more or less picked our wedding date based on her availability! A few weeks after booking our wedding with Jenni, she sent us the loveliest care package with a typewriter-written note and a few goodies. She puts so much thought and care into everything she does! On the day of the wedding, Jenni immediately hopped into action. She was patient, kind, and had such confidence in what she was doing (which was so needed, considering you're dealing with not just us as the couple, but our families as well). We were barely past the weekend after our wedding, and we already have sneak peeks! Jenni is a master! Looking at what she was able to capture is truly amazing. I usually do not like looking at photos of myself, but I can't stop looking at these pictures!! I can't believe the gallery she sent is just the sneak peeks - I can't wait to see what else she captured when we receive the full gallery in a few weeks! Jenni is truly the best at what she does. I can't recommend her enough!!

WE'LL BE A GREAT FIT IF... You want documentary style photos or videos that capture those unscripted moments shared with the ones you hold closest to your heart. | You want a photographer and videographer that makes you feel confident, at ease, and thrilled to be in front of the camera | You want a simple and fun day full of celebrating with your friends and family, not spending hours away taking portraits. | You want your photos and video to focus on the things most important to you, especially documenting your friends and family. | You're madly love and want authentic and real photos and videos to look back on.

Sophie was a light during all of our interactions with one another! From the beginning with negotiations, to the final products, she was always attentive and so so easy to work with! When we first reached out, I had a million and one questions (frazzled bride haha) and she was so patient with me! On top of that, she was so accommodating! There were things that I would ask for that she may not have had access to immediately (i.e. a drone, 2nd shooter, etc.) And she would admit to not having these things, but no less than an hour after our correspondence, she would come to me beaming saying "We have a drone now!! We have a second shooter!!" She was always willing to do whatever it took to get the job done, and I absolutely loved that! Her attention to detail during the wedding meant the world to me and my now-husband - he can be a bit shy, but Sophie and her co-shooter Tim were so patient and kind! They got all the shots that we wanted and then some! Our final products were amazing - my favorite part was how receptive Sophie was to feedback! In the end, everything she produced was breathtaking, and boy did we shed a ton of tears while watching! Open and honest throughout the process especially if delays were to be had, we got all of our products in a beyond reasonable time, and now we have a keepsake to remember our wedding for days to come. I cannot recommend Sophie (and Tim!) enough. How lucky we were to have them be a part of our day 3

Hi! My name is Courtney. I am the owner and lead shooter of Courtney Cohen Photography. I am based out of Barrington, RI, and love to spend time with my husband, toddler, and dog by the beaches of Rhode Island. I have a very candid approach when it comes to photography. I want to capture the raw emotion that you will remember for years and years to come. I shoot mainly outdoors with natural light but am trained with OCF (off-camera flash) for any low light or indoor locations. I strive to work with my clients not only to give them amazing pictures but also to make their lives as easy as possible. I hope that you reach out and we can chat!

Courtney is fantastic! Obviously her photos are incredible, but beyond that she is just great to work with. She made my fiance and I both feel so comfortable during our engagement shoot- she was great with our dog too who we we included in our photos! Working with her along this whole process has been great- Courtney knows her stuff and has been so helpful with planning and executing everything so far during our wedding planning process. I can't wait to keep working with her! Also for our wedding day- I can’t say enough great things about Courtney. It was like having a friend with me the whole day- she was so amazing at making sure the day went smoothly. And the photos came out absolutely perfect. I will definitely be sticking with her for any of our photo needs in the future!!

Hi! I’m photographer with a strong passion for documenting love stories. I believe in allowing the natural flow and emotions ofthe day unfold on its own; capturing real unscripted moments thatcelebrate the beauty of each couple's unique love story. My ability toblend into the background, while still effortlessly capturing everyimportant moment, ensures a genuine and organic representation ofyour wedding day.I fell in love with the artistic charm of film photography that bringsa unique and nostalgic quality to your photos. And by combining that with digital imagery, I create a collection of photographs that are both captivating and timeless.

We got married in October 2024 and hiring Hiba as our photographer was one of the first and best decisions we made. Throughout the entire process from the engagement shoot to the saying goodbye on the dance floor - Hiba was a gem to work with. The photos are stunning, there are so many beautiful moments and a good mix of posed and candid. Truly there are some that I feel deserve to be on a magazine cover. Hiba has a fantastic eye for lighting, balance, and framing - all her shots are expertly taken but still come off casual and relaxed. She truly managed to capture the vibe of the whole day perfectly and we literally were checking daily to see the full gallery and it was totally worth the wait. Thank you Hiba!!
