We worked with Cover Story for our wedding in July and had the best experience. From the beginning Cover Story went above and beyond, they were easy to communicate with, very organized, and even learned our first dance song, which made it so special. The dance floor was packed all night and our guests are still raving about how great the band was. Highly recommend if you want your wedding to feel like a huge party!

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
DJ Dan blew us out of the water from the very first call we had with him. His professionalism, communication, and positive, uplifting vibe was perfect for our evening. Constantly throughout the night our guests were complimenting how great the music was and how awesome Dan and his transitions were. He is the definition of a smooth operator.

John from elation Entertainment did an amazing job as the DJ for my backyard wedding in September. He was on time, set up with ease, and the quality of his music and announcements was perfect for the outdoor venue.

Awarded Best of Zola
We are so happy we chose Jeff and Mystic River Entertainment for our wedding at the Delamar Mystic. We spoke with several DJs during our planning process, but what ultimately drew us to Mystic River Entertainment was how straightforward and transparent everything was. The packages and services were easy to understand, and as a local vendor, Jeff was incredibly familiar with the Mystic area. It felt like fate when we learned that he had actually been married on the same property before the hotel was built. Even though the Delamar Mystic was still a brand-new venue, Jeff was already familiar with the space, having worked one of the weddings during its first season. From the start, Jeff was a pleasure to work with. He was communicative, responsive, and genuinely invested in helping us create the wedding we envisioned. We were very particular about our music selections and had several unique requests, including surprise performances and custom audio files. Jeff was accommodating every step of the way. He provided thoughtful professional guidance when needed, but always respected our preferences and helped bring our vision to life. Beyond the music itself, Jeff was instrumental in helping us personalize the event. He displayed our custom logo on the DJ booth, played a photo montage we created during the reception, and worked closely with us to coordinate a surprise musical performance by our friends by providing additional microphones and arranging a practice session during cocktail hour. He also allowed us to use a custom design for our photo booth prints, which added another personal touch for our guests. On the wedding day, everything was fantastic. Jeff did an outstanding job as both our DJ and emcee. He kept the event flowing smoothly, made announcements at exactly the right times, and ensured guests always knew what was happening next. When we needed to make last-minute adjustments to the program, he adapted seamlessly and kept everything running without a hitch. We never had to worry about the timeline because he had everything under control. The music was one of the highlights of the evening. Our family and friends loved the playlist, and we were especially impressed by how well our song selections were mixed and transitioned throughout the night. Jeff has an excellent ability to read the room and keep the energy exactly where it needs to be. The dance floor stayed packed, and every part of the evening felt perfectly paced. We also received numerous compliments on the photo booth. There was a minor hiccup with the printer, but Jeff and his assistant responded immediately and handled the issue professionally, which speaks volumes about their commitment to their clients and their guests' experience. If you're looking for a DJ who is professional, organized, flexible, and genuinely cares about making your wedding day special, we highly recommend Jeff and Mystic River Entertainment. We couldn't have been happier with our experience.

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!

Whether you want my personal DJ and live sound services, or you want access to any number of the professional musicians I work with, I will organize the entire day. 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)

We cannot recommend Bright Set Entertainment enough! We used Bright Set for our wedding at Mountain View Grand in May 2026 and hired them for our DJ, photo booth, ceremony and reception audio, and piano music. From the very beginning, Cassandra was incredible to work with. We spent over a year planning together, and she was organized, responsive, detail-oriented, and always willing to hop on a call, answer questions, or help think through ideas. One thing that really stood out was how invested Cassandra was in making sure everything ran smoothly. She wasn't just someone behind the scenes coordinating logistics — she was actually onsite for our wedding day and felt like part of our team. Unfortunately, we experienced an unexpected fire alarm interruption immediately following our first dance that temporarily paused our reception and forced guests outside. Cassandra, alongside our day-of coordinator, immediately jumped into problem-solving mode. When we were finally able to return to the ballroom, she creatively had us reintroduced to "Fire Burning" by Sean Kingston, which turned a stressful situation into a funny and memorable moment that had everyone laughing. We were so grateful for her ability to stay calm, think quickly, and help keep the energy positive. DJ Dennis was fantastic and kept the dance floor packed all night. He did an amazing job reading the room and creating a fun atmosphere for guests of all ages. The photo booth was a huge hit as well. Guests loved the glow booth and the customized photo overlay, and we ended up with so many great keepsakes from the night. Entertainment-wise, everything was seamless. The ceremony audio, microphones, piano music, reception flow, DJ services, and photo booth were all executed beautifully. If you're looking for an entertainment company that is professional, organized, talented, and genuinely cares about your wedding experience, Bright Set Entertainment is absolutely the team to hire.

We hired Matthew for our wedding, and WOW, he was the highlight of the night! His talent is absolutely next level, and the way he engaged with the crowd had everyone completely captivated. Our guests cannot stop talking about how amazing he was. He brought an energy that took our reception to another level. It was our wedding, but honestly, he stole the show (in the best way possible)! If you’re thinking about hiring him, do it. You will not be disappointed!

We worked with Paul for our January wedding. Originally, I was going to just create a playlist (I was having little to no formalities) until I saw he commented on a Connecticut Bride Facebook Group. Figured a DJ will give me one less thing to worry about, so I inquired and he immediately responded, provided a quick quote, and we set up our first meeting. He just made everything so easy! We had two one-hour long meetings to clearly identify our vision. My father passed a few years ago and we did many things to honor him at the party- signature cocktail, my sister spoke about him in her speech, his two best friends gave a combined toast on his behalf, but what made me really feel my dad was celebrated and “there in spirit” was when Paul intentionally played my dad’s favorite song prior to the first speech. It almost felt like that was my dad’s speech/toast to us. Family and friends picked up on Paul’s placement of my dad’s favorite song and commented that they were moved by it too. It was the only point of the night I got emotional. Paul really cares about his work and the people he works with. I’ve been to a handful of weddings where DJs play the couple’s Do Not playlist and just treats every wedding the same. I seriously can’t recommend Paul more.

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.

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.

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!

We hired Golden Scroll Soloists for our wedding cocktail hour and reception in Connecticut. Coordinating with Kevin was seamless, efficient and professional. They accommodated our highly specific setlist, executing accurate string arrangements across multiple classic and contemporary genres. They also were flexible with timing adjustments. Their pricing was fair and delivered great value for a live ensemble. They also operated autonomously with strict professionalism on the day of the event. Their execution of our custom requests was exceptional (we wanted certain songs played at specific times during the wedding day). Highly recommended for couples seeking reliable, precise musical accompaniment! Our guests actually thought they were listening to a DJ/playlist, that's how good Golden Scroll was!
