I'm Angelo, Founder and Lead DJ-MC of Hollywood DJs & Productions, the company my wife Cassandra and I built to do weddings the right way. Our clients meet with me and get to experience our Exclusive Vision Suite, giving them the opportunity to actually see your reception vision come to life in the comfort of your own home. We do not send you a junior DJ you've never met. We read the room live and build a generational mix that pulls every table onto the floor, from your grandparents to your closest friends. Our job is to carry the stress so you don't have to, and make sure your guests still talk about your night for years. You show up, you get married, you celebrate. If that sounds like the day you want, I'd love to meet you.

“Working with Hollywood DJs & Productions LLC was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Their team communicated clearly throughout the planning process and made sure everything was aligned with our vision. The quality of their work on the day was top-notch—they kept the energy high and had guests engaged the entire night. They came prepared with the right equipment and technical expertise to handle any request that came up. I'd recommend them without hesitation to any couple looking for a DJ that takes their job seriously and genuinely cares about making the event special.”

“We couldn’t be happier with Taylor Events LLC! They provided amazing DJ services and a photo booth for our wedding, and Alain and I were so pleased with everything. One of the most meaningful touches was that he even livestreamed our ceremony for loved ones who couldn’t attend in person. Being able to share that moment with them meant so much to us!

“When we first looked into hiring a DJ, we thought it was as simple as picking someone to play music and get the dance floor going. But we were impressed with how much more there was to it, and Collins Entertainment had it all covered from start to finish! There were so many details that we had not considered, like doing a "farewell dance" towards the end of the night. They also offered perspectives that we had not considered, like the benefits of doing wedding party introductions since we had not done programs. Because there is a team of DJs and they take incredible notes, it also means that there is a seamless transition in case of any emergencies. Our original DJ had a family medical emergency, but his colleague was able to step in without missing a beat (pun intended). We highly recommend!”

“As the father of the bride, I had the tremendous, good fortune of finding Sandro, to perform at my daughter's wedding! He was AMAZING! Without reservation, if you are lucky enough to have found Sandro... look NO further! Well over a year after the wedding, I know that Sandro made the day so special, that it will forever be a lasting memory for everyone that attended. Sandro simply exceeded every detail that my daughter and I asked for from the request for song titles performed during the wedding ceremony, to the cocktail hour! Hard to put into words... Sandro honored my request to accompany me and surprise my daughter, while I played the guitar and sang to her. It was so special that he graciously shared his impeccable talent as a violinist to allow me as a dad, to provide my daughter the best gift of love that I could ever imagine! I will never be able to thank him enough for this incredible memory... it turned out amazing! Please do yourself the favor of making Sandro a part of your special day... I promise, you and your guests will also be mesmerized by his awesome talent as simply the most accomplished violinists around! -Joey”

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
“DJ Style Points was incredible to work with and played a huge role in making our wedding night a massive success. Our guest list spanned multiple generations, so we really needed someone who knew how to read the room and keep everyone engaged. Matt understood this perfectly—he had the dance floor packed all night and blended the music seamlessly. Any concerns we had regarding song lengths or flow, he was already ahead of it. He uses a custom planning form that was incredibly thorough, which made it so easy for us to help structure our timeline and music preferences. It also didn't go unnoticed by our other vendors; they were all very complimentary of how well he managed the energy throughout the night. If you want a DJ who is organized, professional, and a true master at keeping the party going, look no further!”

Hello! We’re the DJs at AXETOWN Entertainment, and we know choosing the right DJ can feel overwhelming. You’re probably wondering if they’ll match your taste, read the room, connect with your guests, and still be worth the investment. That’s where we come in. We don’t just play music—we curate moments. Every event tells a story, and we tailor every beat to your vision and your crowd, from timeless classics to today’s hits with custom remixes and live mash-ups. Proudly based in Canton, CT, we bring 27+ years and 4,000+ events of experience. AXETOWN Entertainment—more than music. It’s a vibe.

“Mario with Axetown DJ was phenomenal, and honestly, hiring him was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From our very first conversation, he was attentive and communicative in a way that put us completely at ease. He asked the right questions — not just about song choices, but about the vibe we wanted, the moments that mattered most to us, and the ones we absolutely did not want to happen. He responded quickly every time we reached out, checked in as the date got closer, and never once made us feel like we were bothering him or like our wedding was just another booking on his calendar. That kind of reliability is worth more than people realize when you're juggling a hundred other planning details. On the day itself, he was personable in the best possible way. He wasn't just a voice behind a booth — he was warm, easy to talk to, and genuinely invested in making the night feel like ours. He kept things moving without ever making it feel rushed or scripted. Announcements landed naturally, transitions were seamless, and he read the room like someone who has been doing this for years and truly loves it. And the dance floor? It was packed. Everyone who could be on the dance floor was on the dance floor, all night long. Our guests ranged from kids to grandparents, and somehow he found something for every single one of them. There were no awkward lulls, no empty floor, no moment where people drifted back to their tables. He built energy early, kept it high, and knew exactly when to bring it down and when to bring it back up. People are still telling us how much fun they had. What we didn't expect was how much he'd feel like part of the day rather than a service we hired. By the end of the night, Mario felt like a part of our family rather than a vendor at our wedding. He celebrated with us, he cared about the details, and he treated our people like they mattered to him too. If you're looking for a DJ who is professional, responsive, genuinely kind, and capable of keeping an entire room on their feet from the first song to the last, book Mario with Axetown DJ. We would choose him again in a heartbeat.”

“Believe it our not music was the MOST important thing to me as a bride. Ive had the privilege of working with Atmosphere Productions for many years now as I am a wedding photographer myself. One thing I always knew was, when I’d be working with Sam as a vendor, it would be a stress-free, well coordinated and energetic wedding. His pure love for music is infectious and even on the days when I was exhausted from working for 12 hours, you’d always catch me out on the dance floor if he was the dj. So when I choose him for my own wedding, it felt like a no-brainer. One thing I made clear up front is that a lot of our music might not be typical and that we wanted the music to literally be the soundtrack to the day through our eyes. Music has been a BIG part of our relationship and we wanted that to be part of our wedding just as much. When I worried that my choices in music might be too obscure or not even available- Sam assured me he had everything we choose and more. He understood the “feeling,” we wanted and simply took our suggestions and filled the rest with his picks which we loved since he is the expert! The preparation prior to the wedding was what surprised me the most. Being a wedding photographer I had NO idea what was involved for the DJ. This was very eye opening and Sam took the time to sporadically check in, throughly go through each step of the day and easily accommodated our not-so-traditional families. He asked questions and mapped things out so that by the time the day came I KNEW Sam had everything he needed and even when a couple things changed that day he took care of it like a rockstar. All the care, time and energy Sam provided for our day made him the best choice and his rates match his quality ten times over. Thank you so much Sam for sharing your talent with us and being part of the best day of our lives!”

There is an art to entertaining. To create a memorable wedding celebration, you need quality entertainment. Most events I do start with some common elements: guests, music and the client’s desire for the event to be successful. It’s the inspiration in the execution and preparation before the event that distinguishes me from the ordinary. While others may do events by number, I make each event an original, a unique reflection of my client…you! I take inspiration from your dreams and desires. I do not ask you to follow someone else’s format because I will thrive in yours.

“We are so incredibly grateful to have had DJ Butch as part of our wedding day! From the very beginning, he was an absolute professional, organized, responsive, and genuinely invested in helping us create the perfect vibe. He was available for phone calls and helped us choose songs when we felt stuck! He never once put any pressure on us and was one of the most reassuring voices throughout the planning process. Leading up to the wedding he helped us feel that we were on track and doing great and reassured us that we were in good hands. On our wedding day unexpected rain forced us to change our plans but Butch handled it with ease. He adapted seamlessly to the new setup and made everything work for our ceremony! At the reception he absolutely crushed it! The dance floor was packed all night, and we’ve heard from so many guests that it was the most fun they’ve had in ages. If you're looking for a DJ who is not only talented, but calm, supportive, and completely committed to making your day amazing, Butch is your guy. We can’t recommend him highly enough!”

“The harpist and violinist were absolutely incredible — truly one of the most magical parts of our entire wedding day. My husband and I were completely in awe, and our guests couldn’t stop talking about how beautiful and cinematic the music was. It felt like something straight out of a movie, especially with the stunning ambiance of our ceremony location. From the very beginning, the process of choosing music through the company’s website was seamless. There were so many amazing song options to pick from, and we were so happy with our final selections. Hearing them come to life — especially on violin and harp — was beyond words. The musicians played so eloquently and gracefully, and their talent was unmatched. The music added a romantic, emotional, and elegant touch that elevated everything to a whole new level. Communication with the company was excellent. They were quick to respond, always friendly and accommodating, and remained professional and patient — even when unexpected weather challenges came up on the day of the wedding. They were flexible, understanding, and worked with us to make sure everything went smoothly. The quality of the performance was truly a 10 out of 10. Guests were completely blown away, and many told us how unforgettable and moving the ceremony music was. The transitions between songs were smooth and perfectly timed. I would 100% recommend this company to any couple looking to add something special to their ceremony. They are incredibly talented, professional, punctual, and just a dream to work with. We’re so grateful to have had them be part of our big day — they helped make it feel absolutely magical.”

“Jeff was an absolutely incredible DJ! My wife and I were initially worried about people not dancing at our wedding, but Jeff completely eased our concerns and far exceeded every expectation. From the very first song, he had the dance floor packed and it stayed that way all night long. With 160 guests, I think every single one of them was up and dancing hours straight. Guests are still telling us it was the best music they’ve ever heard at a wedding, and many said they couldn't leave the dance floor because it was too much fun. It was the best night of our lives with our favorite people. Leading up to the big day, Jeff was unbelievably organized and professional. We spoke with a number of DJs, but Jeff stood out immediately as the most prepared and thoughtful. His online planning tools made the entire process seamless and stress-free, and whenever we had questions, he was always quick to respond and reassure us. He took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and then delivered beyond our wildest dreams. He created the perfect edit for our first dance and seamlessly mixed so many of our favorite songs throughout the night Jeff doesn’t just play music he created an unforgettable experience for us. We placed all of our trust in him, and he knocked it out of the park, over and over again. If we could give Jeff 1,000 stars, we would. We cannot recommend Jeff enough to anyone planning a wedding.”

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.

“When my husband and I were searching for DJ's for our wedding, we were immediately impressed when we got to Dan's website. When we met Dan in person at an open house at our venue, the choice was made even easier. Dan represented himself and his company as professional, experienced and polished. He came across as a real and heartfelt guy who is just really passionate about what he loves doing, something we've found rare in our past experiences with DJs. As we began our music journey with Dan, he was consistently in touch with us with reminders, suggestions, playlists, timelines and was always ready, willing and able to take our questions and provide valuable feedback. Dan listened to our needs as a couple and really got to know us so he could make personalized recommendations, such as a private first dance so that we, as introverts, could have a few moments alone on a wonderful but overwhelming day. On the wedding day, Dan made sure every detail was ironed out and made us feel completely at ease throughout the entire process. Our wedding was phenomenal and every guest we spoke to had an amazing time! We would highly recommend Dan for any event and we are confident that he will surpass your expectations!”

“We highly recommend Mark from Jam Events DJs! He was so easy to work with and made us feel comfortable and ready for everything on our wedding day. We talked through what we were looking for, and he answered all of our questions and made us feel ready for our special day. We made a list of must play songs, as well a songs we didn’t want played, and he was a huge part of making our wedding so memorable! The provided lighting really made our wedding at The Barn at Wight Farm look so magical! We had so much fun on the dance floor and our guests are still raving about how much fun they had and how great the music was! You won’t regret working with Jam Events. Thank you, Mark, for everything!!”

“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!!!”

“Michael and Michelle from Nationwide Wedding DJs made our reception feel special from start to finish. They were professional throughout our planning and on the day of the wedding, which gave us peace of mind. What stood out most was how Michael kept our guests engaged all night, he had everyone dancing and feeling included, whether they were young or old. The attention to detail in their music selection and timing was spot-on, and everything ran smoothly without us having to worry about anything. We would definitely recommend them to other couples looking for a DJ team that truly cares about making their day memorable.”

“We were very happy with the band we chose for our wedding. They brought great energy, played a solid mix of music that kept our guests dancing, and added a fun vibe to the night. They were also flexible which i really appreciated. They were willing to work with our unique setup, including performing on a backyard stage we built. Most importantly, they really listened to what we wanted and tailored the music to match the tone we envisioned. Their professionalism and adaptability helped everything go smoothly. We’re really glad we had them as part of our celebration and would definitely recommend them to other couples.”
