Style Points DJs

5.0

Glastonbury, CT
  • DJ
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Hamden, CT

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.

My wife and I were very pleased with our experience with Style Points. I personally was impressed with how Matt continuously checked in with us throughout the process of booking and preparing for the wedding, as well as during the event itself. He made sure he had our approval and that we were on the same page before proceeding with any important parts of the night. MC-ing was great for introductions and announcements as well. As far as music, it could not have been better. We have an affinity for 90s and 00s hip hop, which Matt was very knowledgeable about. The song selection was great from start to end and the dance floor was lively the whole time. Highly recommend!

For the past 30 years, Jimmy Dee Entertainment has consistently set the standard in quality, class, experience and fun. Our mission is to inspire and collaborate with our clients to produce unique and engaging events invoking emotion, excitement and energy for the newlyweds as well as their families, friends and guests.

So thankful I went with Jimmy Dee for my wedding. We just don’t have enough good things to say about them! From their App that allowed me to add and remove song options and make specific notes so anything I wanted in a very specific way was easy and clear. After that, our team took creative control and when I tell you my guests did not sit down for even a second!! Dinner was being served and they had to make an announcement for everyone to sit. So glad we went with them and they truly made our wedding the BEST NIGHT EVER!

Celine and Ben were INCREDIBLE to work with! We have known them for several years, but this was our first time working with them. They were incredibly responsive to emails, answering questions, and providing recommendations for our ceremony selections and timing. They learned two new songs for us (one of which was a bit obscure from The Muppets!) and it was everything we wanted and more! Their professionalism is unmatched; they were great with working with our venue coordinator on a last-minute location change due to the weather and a slight delay as a result. We cannot thank them enough for providing their beautiful music on our special day!

O'Brien Strings was the perfect complement to my daughter’s garden wedding. The bride walked down the aisle to Pachelbel Canon which was played exquisitely and flawlessly by the TRIO. Their presence added a special, elegant touch to the ceremony. The guests raved about how wonderful the musical selection sounded and to this day we still receive compliments on their performance. Kate was a pleasure to work with and always responded promptly to my emails. Without a doubt, I highly recommend O’Brien Strings for any type of event.

I think beauty is important. Beauty is what inspires us to do something higher than our everyday. A wedding day should be full of beauty. Whether that means beautiful sounds or a beautiful place setting. In my opinion, the two are inextricably linked. Beauty is what I strive to create for each bride and groom.

Danielle and her amazing team at Divina Strings are a high energy and exciting group of performers that are a great fit for upscale clients looking for boutique wedding and event musicians. Highly recommend.

Nardella’s Music

5.0

Branford, CT
  • DJ
  • Starts at $850

At Nardella’s Music we understand that all clients deserve the absolute best in Service and Equipment at a reasonable price. With over 25 years of experience, over 200 hires on similar online platforms and more than 100 5 star reviews Dennis Nardella is rated a “Top Pro” for a reason. Every Client is different. I spend personal time meeting with each and every client working on a personal level to understand their needs and requests so their event is "their" event. I will put in the time that is needed to be certain your event is a success.

Dennis is the best DJ ever!!! My husband and I were absolutely blown away by how fantastic he was for our wedding. He put on a SHOW! There was a fog machine, up lights, and an entire light show, and microphones to sing along that kept everyone on the dance floor all night long! Dennis has an awesome personality and is a blast to work with. On the wedding day he did just the right amount of talking and was able to really feel the vibe of the night and play music accordingly. So many people commented that they thought I had given him the playlist because he matched the type of music we wanted so perfectly! Dennis played a great combination of music that had guests of all ages enjoying the wedding and saying it was the most fun wedding they’ve ever been to. He was also able to get almost everyone at the wedding into a conga line! He was extremely flexible and more than willing to do help us coordinate many unique items throughout the night (shoe game, husband singing live, “father daughter dance mash up, table dash, reverse anniversary dance). We had a difficult and unique timeline compared to most weddings due to it being a backyard wedding with a not so strict timeline, and two ceremonies (an American ceremony and a Moroccan ceremony) each requiring their own music. Throughout the day, Dennis was flexible and coordinated seamlessly with our other vendors to adjust the timeline when we were running late and made sure it worked for everyone. He knew the best times to do all of the events at the reception and we were easily able to extend him for an hour on the day of the wedding when we realized everyone was having such a good time and we didn’t want the party to end! Dennis was extremely helpful throughout the whole planning process by getting an idea of the type of music we liked and then offering suggestions he thought we would like. He was spot on and made the whole process of selecting music for the whole wedding (so many more songs than I would have anticipated) so easy and ensured we loved what we picked, giving us time to make decisions without us feeling rushed, while also making sure we were getting him the information he needed when he needed it. He always gave his advice but let us have the final say. Dennis went above and beyond the responsibilities of a DJ and dived in to help make our wedding special. When my husband wanted to have me walk down the aisle to a recording of him singing and playing the guitar, Dennis offered his own studio to him to record. My husband was not able to take him up on the offer since we live out of state, but when he sent Dennis a phone recording, without asking, Dennis took it upon himself to do a bit of editing to make the song even more beautiful. When my husband told Dennis he wanted to play the guitar and sing live at the reception, Dennis brought his own music stand and set up everything. He made a fun mashup of songs I requested for my father daughter dance. Instead of table numbers, we named out tables different Moroccan city names. Dennis looked up fun facts about each city that he announced as guests went to the buffet to get their food. Dennis puts his heart and soul into each wedding and it truly shows. Dennis – we truly can’t thank you enough for giving us and our guests such an amazing and fun night. From us to my grandparents to my college friends to my husband’s Moroccan family members who came from Morocco to attend, you gave everyone a night they will never forget!

Austin performed acoustic guitar and provided the sound for our outdoor wedding ceremony and cocktail hour this past fall and his performance helped to create exactly the atmosphere that my husband and I were looking for! From the very start, Austin was quick to respond and provided us with clear options for the music choices we were looking for. Even when we had to postpone our wedding due to COVID-19, Austin was accommodating and supportive. I highly recommend Austin to anyone looking for beautiful music to set the mood for any event!

I've never experienced somebody going so above and beyond their job description like Dan.

I hired this agency for our hedge fund company anniversary in London and as well for my daughter's wedding in South of France. Steve and Patryce were amazing listeners. We also loved the fact that they are a couple that work hard together for their family and have strong work ethics. We did not know that Steve was such a awesome drummer: My God! We thought he just ran the company. We understand why his network of musicians is so large. I will definitely hire them again. They made me look great in front of my high net worth clients and partners and everyone was on the dance floor at my daughter 's wedding.
