Jim has been so friendly and professional throughout this entire process — he’s made this a really seamless and exciting experience! Our DJ Rick was great at reading the room and adjusting the music from our curated track list to fit the vibe we were going for (we really wanted people to work the dance floor!). Lisa helped run our Photo Booth, and it was such a blast. We just got the pictures back and they’re so fun! They really capture the feeling, which I love.

  • DJ

  • Serves New Haven, CT
  • Offer

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.

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

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!

We cannot say enough about how much we loved Covergirl. They took so much time to sit with us and listen to our requests before the wedding and boy did they deliver. They played everything we asked for. They dressed up for our Super Mario theme and even learned new music for it. We had guests say they were the best wedding band they’ve ever heard. Absolutely incredible.

DJ Konsept 
Rating: 5.0 (20 reviews)
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,900
  • Serves New Haven, CT

As a veteran DJ with 20+ years of experience and 250+ weddings, I create sophisticated, custom music programs based on your tastes. I handle all audio logistics—from timeline planning to day-of run-of-show. Pricing: Evening Celebration ($1,900): Cocktail, Dinner, and Dancing with 2 sound stations and polished MC services. Full Day Experience ($2,500): 3 sound stations plus my battery-powered ceremony system for vows on beaches or gardens—no noisy generators. My resume includes tours in the U.S./Europe/Japan, and playing alongside artists like Drake, Calvin Harris, and LCD Soundsystem. I bring elite professionalism to every event.

As someone with a background in the events and music industry, my standards for production are incredibly high. Edwin (DJ Konsept) completely exceeded them for my wife Emily and my wedding in Montauk, NY. From our first conversation, Edwin was the consummate professional. His communication is exceptional- he is highly responsive, asked detailed questions to understand our specific vision, took careful notes, and was completely open to direction. We gave him a complex, multi-stage run-of-show, and he executed every phase flawlessly. He managed our outdoor ceremony, providing perfectly balanced mics and audio so everyone could hear our vows. He then seamlessly transitioned to setting the mood for our outdoor cocktail hour, and ultimately closed the night out by crushing a high-energy indoor afterparty. He arrived over-prepared with backup equipment and intuitively grasped the distinct musical vibe needed for each portion of the day. Technically, Edwin is a master. His beat-matching, transitions, and ability to read a room's energy are unmatched. He completely avoided the typical "cheesy" wedding tracks, weaving together exactly the right mix to keep our guests engaged. Furthermore, his pricing is incredibly fair and transparent, offering immense value for the high-end talent and peace of mind he brings to the table. If you want an incredibly talented, stress-free professional who operates with style and a cool, collected energy, you need to hire Edwin. He made our wedding day absolutely magical!

Alex and his team are THE best. I found him and recommended him to my brother and sister in law who were also getting married, so we had him at all three of our weddings in NYC, in PA, and ours is CT. He was super communicative throughout the entire planning process and made each wedding their own. He felt like family lol. The app that they provided to create our own playlists and download our own songs was so easy to navigate and so nice to know we would have a good control of what kind of music would be playing. He was amazing as the mc as we are a bilingual family and he translated everything, everyone had such a good time and the vibes were always high. We loved the photobooth and even though for our day the printer wasn't working he made a way to print them all out with extras and send them over to us. Thank you Alex for being the perfect DJ for my perfect day.

  • Serves New Haven, CT

At Sweet Harmony, we love what we do! To us, it is a beautiful thing when we are playing music that helps you to feel the special moments of your life. We've grown fast since our founding in 2008, and Sweet Harmony now serves weddings across the United States with fine local musicians. As owner and pianist, I hold certain core values that inspire my work with our customers and our relationships in the professional world: honesty, teamwork, friendliness, strength, service, efficiency, and a commitment to excellence. Our musicians typically hold advanced degrees in music and care genuinely about bringing you the beauty of live performance!

Awarded Best of Zola
Our wedding on January 17, 2026, at The Wave Hotel in Orlando, Florida, felt like a living fairytale. The soul-stirring music of Sweet Harmony was the heartbeat that made every moment unforgettable. From our very first Zoom call to the final shimmering notes that lingered in the warm Florida evening air, this quartet didn’t just perform; they transformed our day into pure magic! Planning a destination wedding can be overwhelming, but Sweet Harmony made it effortless and joyful. Kasia Dolinska was an absolute dream to work with, warm, brilliantly organized, and genuinely excited about our vision. Her quick responses, thoughtful suggestions, and deep understanding of how music shapes emotion took all the stress out of the process. Their pricing was not only competitive but an incredible value for the level of talent and professionalism we received. We were especially blown away by their vast, beautifully curated song list; everything from timeless classics to modern indie favorites, which let us create a playlist that felt completely, authentically “us.” My musician husband even had the chance to discuss possibly performing alongside them, and Kasia’s enthusiasm made us feel like true collaborators rather than just clients. On the wedding day, Sweet Harmony arrived perfectly on time, elegantly dressed in classic black, adding an air of refined sophistication to our outdoor garden ceremony. But it was their sound that left us breathless. Rich, vibrant, and impossibly crisp, every note floated on the gentle breeze like liquid gold, wrapping our guests in warmth, romance, and pure joy. You could feel the emotion in the air, smiles widened, eyes glistened, and people swayed gently as the music wrapped around us like a loving embrace. The seamless transition from ceremony to cocktail hour was flawless: they simply turned their chairs and continued playing without missing a single beat, keeping the elegant atmosphere flowing effortlessly as guests mingled and celebrated. The absolute pinnacle of our day, a moment we still get chills thinking about, was their breathtaking rendition of “Turning Page” by Sleeping At Last during our processional, walking hand in hand down the aisle. The music was delicate, light, resonant, and so deeply moving that I instinctively slowed my steps, wanting to savor every exquisite note. It felt like the entire world paused; the strings poured out love, hope, and forever in a way that words can never capture. That single piece turned the beginning of our forever into something transcendent. We can’t wait to relive it in our wedding video. If you’re dreaming of a wedding that feels intimate, elegant, and emotionally unforgettable, Sweet Harmony is the only choice! Their extraordinary talent, heartfelt passion, and flawless professionalism elevated our day in ways we never imagined possible. Kasia and the entire quartet truly gifted us the most beautiful, memorable day of our lives. We recommend them with every ounce of our hearts! They don’t just play music; they create magic! Thank-you! Más & Vin

HiMotive Entertainment & Photobooth did a great job keeping our wedding reception fun and upbeat. While their communication was a bit delayed leading up to the event, they were ultimately effective in executing on the day-of. The DJ kept the party going all night with a good song selection, though they did play 3 Taylor Swift songs in a row at the start, which we would have preferred more variety. The MC's ad-libs got a little overbearing at times, but overall they did a nice job sticking to the schedule and making important announcements. We'd recommend HiMotive to other couples looking for an energetic DJ.

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.

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!!!

BOOK. THIS. BAND. You will not regret it. We booked a solo violin for the ceremony, 3 piece jazz trio for cocktail hour, and a 7 piece band for the reception. Silver Arrow Band brought all the energy and more to our wedding. They followed our do's and don'ts perfectly and were great at reading the crowd. I am not exaggerating when I say that every single guest told us that Silver Arrow Band was the best wedding band they’ve ever seen. Guests were mad that they didn’t have them at their own wedding. Our dance floor was packed all night. I wish I could get married again just to experience it all over. Please book them.

Golden Scroll Soloists 
Rating: 5.0 (35 reviews)
  • Ceremony only
  • Serves New Haven, 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
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!

Can't recommend Rob and his team enough! They did an incredible job with our wedding. I was still noticing trees that they uplit late into the night. They hung about 10 disco balls for us which was just SO fun. They were VERY professional and prompt. Will be suggesting them to everyone we know!

From the very beginning, Scott and The Music Boutique were an absolute pleasure to work with. Music was such an important part of our wedding day, and Scott truly took the time to get to know us. He really listened to our wants and needs, and personalized every detail for both the ceremony and cocktail hour. It never felt like a "one-size-fits-all" experience - he made everything feel uniquely us. One thing that really stood out throughout the planning process was how responsive and attentive Scott was. Every conversation we had mattered, and he genuinely remembered the details we discussed, making us feel heard and confident that our vision was in the best hands. The live strings added such an elegant and emotional touch to our ceremony and cocktail hour. Walking down the aisle to beautifully performed live music is a moment we'll never forget, and so many of our guests commented on how incredible the musicians were. The cocktail hour music created the perfect atmosphere and tied everything together beautifully. Everything was executed flawlessly, allowing us to simply be present and enjoy every moment of our wedding day. If you're looking for live music that will truly elevate your wedding, I cannot recommend The Music Boutique enough. Scott and his musicians brought so much beauty, elegance, and personality to our wedding, and we are incredibly grateful they were part of such a special day.

Kevin's DJ set was awesome that several guests of ours who were planning on having a band at their own weddings actually changed their minds and decided to go with a DJ instead! The dance floor was packed the entire evening!
