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

DJ Dan Fudim

  • DJ
  • Starts at $2,800

After 14 plus years DJing weddings across New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut, I know the fear is not just bad music. It is awkward MC moments, dead air, generic playlists, and a dance floor that never connects. My style combines real wedding experience with NYC nightlife instincts: live mixing, clean announcements, calm planning, and room reading that keeps every generation included without making the night feel forced.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment we booked Dan, I felt this incredible sense of calm. I’d been told by others, “Your DJ will just do whatever they want”, but I quickly learned that Dan is different. He listens, really listens, not just to what you say, but to the things you don’t even realize you’re communicating. He takes those details, both spoken and unspoken, and uses them to craft a wedding experience that feels so personal, you’d think he’s known you for years. Dan’s kindness is the kind you feel, not just in the way he treats you, but in the way he treats your day. He takes his job seriously because he understands it’s not just about music; it’s about moments. And he works tirelessly to protect those moments. There are countless things he does behind the scenes that you’ll never even know about, all to make sure your day runs smoothly and exactly how you dreamed. Our wedding was especially tricky as we were blending Italian and Egyptian traditions, and I wasn’t sure how to make it all flow naturally. I told Dan how important it was to represent both cultures equally while also capturing us as a couple. He didn’t just nod and say, “Got it.” He researched. He planned. He asked thoughtful questions. He made sure every transition made sense, every song had a purpose, and every moment felt intentional. With Dan, you’re not just getting a DJ. You’re getting a guide, a sounding board, and someone who genuinely has your best interest at heart. You can ask him about things that have nothing to do with music— timeline issues, vendor suggestions, tricky wedding-day logistics—and he’ll give you honest, experienced advice because he truly cares about the big picture, not just his part in it. On the day itself, Dan wasn’t just playing music. He was quietly orchestrating the energy of the room. He made sure our guests were always engaged, that the dance floor was never empty, and that the flow of the night matched our personalities. Guests couldn’t stop talking about how perfectly the music blended our two cultures and one friend was literally Shazamming song after song because every single track was that good. Also, if you’re debating about a photo booth, DO IT and book it through Dan. The quality was insane. Everyone loves a photo booth, but these were hands-down the best photo booth shots we’ve ever seen at a wedding. Other agree.Crisp, vibrant, and so much fun—our guests are still raving about them. Dan sends you all the photos taken throughout the night and my husband and I keep going through them. It’s so fun to see our guests having a great time. Dan wasn’t just our DJ. He was our advocate, our cheerleader, and our behind-the-scenes hero. If I could give him 100,000 stars, I would. If you’re lucky enough to have Dan Fudim available for your date, book him immediately. It will be the best wedding decision you make.

From start to finish, Jeff nailed it with our wedding music. We had some crazy requests and his expertise helped bring those visions to life. We wanted to give our guests a fun transition from cocktail hour to the reception so we came up with the idea of having a Mardi gras style parade.

Renee, the band leader stayed in touch with us throughout the entire planning process and answered every question with helpful details. She worked behind the scenes with our venue and our schedules, providing a truly stress-free experience since the first inquiry. On our wedding day, the band kept the fun and energy up all night, our guests were dancing from start to finish with a perfect mix of songs. They're polished professionals who really know how to read the room and keep the party going. They even learned our first dance song (which they did a phenomenal job with). Renee also coordinated a song in honor of my late father which was so special and meaningful to myself and my now husband. We continue to receive compliments about Shaded Soul, even weeks after the wedding! Thank you so much to Renee and the entire Shaded Soul band for making a last impression on our wedding!

With me as your music coordinator, you'll be hearing more than just wedding bells!

We got married in July at Connecticut College in Southeastern CT as aggressive DIYers with a lot of opinions and family in from across the US. Jacob was our DJ and he kept the party jumping, nailed all the 'classic wedding' moments of first dance, etc... while still playing music that all the generations to boogie too. We were delighted to work with Jacob and highly recommend his services. On top of being friendly & positive during set-up and take down, Jacob brought the party and had a big smile the whole darn night. My spouse and I loved meeting to prep, and felt like all our hopes about the playlist were respected (and amplified!). Jacob even brought party lights for us as a delightful surprise!! I very much hope to never get married again, but when I'm looking for my next DJ or sound tech for an event of any size, I know I'll be calling Jacob. (Photos by Benjamin Allen at HudValley Photo)

The photographer, videographer, and photo booth was absolutely perfect and our guests had a blast! However, even after going through the work of submitting a Spotify play list and adding do not play songs or DJ played the wrong version of our first dance song (I checked and we had the correct version listed on our playlist we sent over), he also played songs from our do not play list to the point I, the bride, came over to ask if he had the wrong list. He admitted he was using songs from the do not play list as he was not paying attention. I would also like to note, though our wedding was more casual, our DJ was dressed in a sloppy manner. His shirt was half untucked from his pants, there were stains on his shirt and pants. Besides a few hiccups, direct Entertainment was wonderful to work with!

DJ Rubin was praised by not just us but by all the family there for being engaging and being able to blend both old classics with new modern Pop music along with EDM and a little bit of DnB near the end of the night. As a fellow raver, he understood what we wanted and was very thoughtful in his song selection. He was also teaching people how to dance on the dance floor to keep the crowd engaged, participating and enjoying themselves.

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!!!

We hired Intrinsic Groove to perform at our wedding in April 2026 and it was nothing short of INCREDIBLE. We watched a lot of videos and felt confident they were going to be great, but they far exceeded our expectations. They were high energy, crowd engaging, phenomenal performers who met the vibe every single time. Vocals were KILLER. So many of our guests said it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to and I credit a lot of that to the energy the band brought. On top of a killer reception, they also did incredible ceremony and cocktail hour music that made everything flow harmoniously. You just can’t beat a killer band for your wedding, worth every penny!

Book All In Entertainment!! Anthony is phenomenal! It's been well over a month since our wedding, and our friends and family are STILL talking about how fun the dance floor was. All because of All In Entertainment! Even our older relatives who couldn't really get up to dance talked about how fun it was to see everyone up on the dance floor having the time of their lives. On the day of the wedding, because we didn't do the bouquet toss and stuff, there was some extra time before dinner. Anthony did a fantastic job figuring out a plan to fill the time and worked with our photographer to make sure the evening went smoothly. He added no stress to our day and truly helped make it magical! I am thrilled that I booked All In Entertainment! And ending the night by joining us on the dance floor and dancing to Bye Bye Bye was a perfect cherry to the night!

The band was phenomenal; they completely exceeded our expectations and kept the dance floor packed from the very first song to the last. The energy, talent, and chemistry they brought to the night were unmatched. Every single guest has told us how incredible the music was and how much fun they had dancing. They nailed every transition, read the crowd perfectly, and made the entire reception feel like one huge celebration. You could tell they genuinely loved what they do, and that energy was infectious.

Golden Scroll Soloists 
Rating: 5.0 (37 reviews)
  • Ceremony only
  • Serves Groton, CT

The Golden Scroll Soloists have been wowing Northeast audiences with a variety of styles for 20 years, melding familiar songs you love into an elegant string quartet experience. We helped popularize the "crossover string quartet", much like the Vitamin String Quartet, during the early days of classical crossover. Our style, now made mainstream by Bridgerton, predated the Netflix hit show by 15 years. We're ready to play for your ceremony, your cocktail hour, or maybe even your reception. Choose from a string quartet, string trio, string duo, or violin soloist. Let's start planning the soundtrack to your happily ever after!

Awarded Best of Zola
Apparently, my now-husband is extremely picky when it comes to string quartets. When looking for a string quartet for our wedding in June 2026, we listened to recordings from every available vendor in the Rockland County/Westchester area. Golden Scroll were not only the best sounding, but also were incredibly friendly, organized, and accommodating to our requests. Their song list is MASSIVE and yet they included learning two new songs at no extra charge to allow our playlist to be even more meaningful to us. Kevin was extremely responsive, and was less worried than we were about the 15% chance of rain on the day of the wedding. The performance itself was amazing and our guests raved about it all evening. They didn’t flinch when our robot flower girl came straight towards them! Couldn’t recommend hiring Golden Scroll more for your special event!

  • DJ

I’m a bilingual (English/Spanish) open-format DJ & MC who specializes in weddings for couples who want a packed dance floor and peace of mind. I make sure every guest feels included and engaged from cocktail hour through the final song. I focus on smooth transitions, natural energy, and zero cheesy mic work. I provide professional sound, immersive dance-floor lighting, uplighting, and a photo booth guests love — so you can relax and fully enjoy an unforgettable night.

Booking DJ Ore was one of the best calls we made for our wedding. From our first phone call to the last song at 1am, he was on top of everything — quick to respond, organized, and genuinely invested in getting our day right. We got married at a camp in the Catskills with the ceremony out in the woods, which meant some tricky logistics: separate sound for the ceremony in the trees, load-in with the venue staff, a timeline that kept shifting on him. Ore handled all of it and we never had to think about any of it. The music was unreal, and he kept the dance floor packed the entire night. Our guests basically refused to leave it, and we honestly lost count of how many people came up to us throughout the night to say how good the music and the DJ were. The thing I'll always remember, though, is how he made space for my Tío to play. My Tío sang and played guitar, and Ore made sure he had everything he needed to do it right. He and Chris brought so much energy and just knew how to keep the room going. If you want a DJ who's professional, easy to talk to, and cares about your day, book him. Thank you for everything, Ore — you gave us a night we won't forget. Cannot recommend enough.

Pat works throughout the Berkshires, Hartford, the Connecticut shoreline, the Hudson Valley, Newport, and the greater Boston area.

DJ Pat was a pleasure to work with for our August 2025 wedding! He was extremely prepared throughout the entire day and made sure to provide extra microphones, as well as extras to the extras, in the event they were needed. We shared with Pat that my mother has a tremor and he provided us with mic stands for the speeches so that she would feel completely comfortable the entire time. He transitioned our ceremony music seamlessly and thoughtfully, and never failed to communicate with us throughout the day as the timeline changed. Inevitably, our timeline fell slightly behind, and Pat was flexible with his set to keep people dancing for the entirety of the shortened reception. He made sure all of our 'must-play' songs were played and ensured our 'do not play songs' were not. We loved his lighting setup and could not have asked for a better experience. He communicated with kindness to all of our other vendors, and we are so happy that we chose Rob Alberti Event Services for our wedding!

Working with Scott and his band was the best decision we made on our wedding day. We had a very specific vision where we would have a jazz quartet during the cocktail hour and have the pianist and bassist play classical music during the cocktail hour. While this was an atypical setup (usually Cello and Piano), Scott's band was up to the challenge and they absolutely nailed it! I even got to get up and sing a Sinatra standard, and play a tune on trumpet with the cocktail band to my now wife! What great energy the group had, they welcomed me in with open arms and smiles, and we really couldn't have asked for a more perfect day!
