Style Points DJs 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Athens, NY

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
As a wedding photographer, I had the pleasure of working alongside Style Points DJs this summer, and it was such a fun experience! Not only did they keep the dance floor packed during the reception, but they also handle unique aspects of this particular wedding so professionally (ie: a violinist and an aerial hoop artist). Their playlist incorporated songs for all guests to enjoy, and the audio throughout the day, including the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and reception, was crystal clear. I would highly recommend Style Points DJs to any couple who is looking for an energetic, yet professional duo.

Kyle and Dave were SO great to work with. Every conversation with them was fun and they were so organized in walking us through creating the perfect soundtrack to our favorite day. Kyle and I hit it off immediately sharing a love of Electronic, Pop Punk, and HipHop; and Dave (who DJ'd the day of) was so in tune with my husband's love of Jam Bands, Bluegrass, and Jamtronica! They respected our wishes to check in with us about outlier song requests lol and added the flare our dream playlist needed. The photobooth was loved by all of our guests.

Our teams focus is always giving couples the best entertainment experience possible. We combine technology with knowledge and music to create unforgettable moments. Our team is dedicated to bringing you a party you'll never forget.

We got married in June 2024, and had Thaddeus as our DJ. Mackenzie took care of the photo-booth. Over the course of the 9 months leading up to the wedding I probably had 4 or 5 calls with Thaddeus to give him the general vibe we were looking for & work out details. He was professional, honest, and gave great feedback. We had many specific asks and Thaddeus made sure all of our wants fit into his plan. Once the party was going, we gave Thaddeus the creative freedom to do his thing & make sure our guests had a good time. He totally delivered. I absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ that can keep the party going! Mackenzie was great to work with as well. Empire State Events got more backdrops to choose from in the middle of our planning, so she gave me the option to switch! I’m glad we did, the eucalyptus backdrop fit perfectly with our vision. Mackenzie was incredibly friendly & ready to help anyone that needed assistance. Our guests loved the photo-booth & our kids/nieces & nephews were entertained too! Win-win!

Hey, I'm Anthony! I'm a Singer-Songwriter, Pianist, and Guitarist in the Albany region. I've always been about bringing people's visions to life, whether it be producing artists', taking an amazing story and turning it into music, or filling an event with sound that speaks to the people there. I'd love to get to know both of you and your story, and help create memories with music. While I live in Albany, I'm willing to travel almost anywhere - feel free to get in touch whether you want me to come to you, or if you're planning a destination wedding!

Awarded Best of Zola
If you're looking to add something truly unique, emotional and memorable to your wedding day, look no further. Anthony is one of the most talented songwriters I've ever heard, and his ability to feel, empathize, and tell stories comes together in perfect harmony through his music. It's not often you find somebody who has all the components to take a musician from great to one of a kind, but Anthony is absolutely that person. I wrote my vows and shared my first dance to a song that he wrote for me and my wife. We eloped on the black sand beach of Iceland, and brought a portable speaker so we could have this dance. Have you ever heard a song at the perfect moment and it feels like it could be included in the soundtrack to your life? Anthony will write that song for you, to pair with one of the most incredible moments of your life, and each time you listen to it again or it comes on shuffle, it'll take you right back to the moments you hold dear like an intimate journal entry only you and your spouse could ever truly feel. If you're even on the fence, don't hesitate to reach out. It was one of the best decisions I ever made.

Olivia and Bridie were wonderful to work with. They were able to learn our 2 custom arrangements within a month of the wedding which we so appreciated. The performance was wonderful! The music was beautiful and I'm so happy we chose to hire them to play for our ceremony. There's just something about live string music that makes a wedding even more special! They have a long repertoire list too, so we were able to choose lots of beautiful songs for the ceremony. And they were so nice and waited for us to finish our photos so we could meet them in person! Would definitely recommend them!

We LOVE to make people dance !!!!!! Our music library is enormous, if you can dance to it, we probably play it. Great party music that will have EVERYONE on the dance floor. We play all styles of music and sound amazing. Our goal is to make your event AMAZING

Paul and the band are premier entertainment in the Capital District. We chose them for our wedding after seeing them perform several shows around the area. They are well versed in all of the components that go into your big day and that relieves a lot of stress. The only time the dance floor was empty was when we were eating. Every member of the band is extremely talented, from the bass and drums as the foundation, the tasty licks and riffs from the guitar and the incredible vocals. Their versatility impressed everyone at our wedding and cannot express how grateful we are for putting on a spectacular show. I will be recommending Grand Central Station to anyone who is looking for entertainment for their wedding. Thank you guys! J&K

We had the absolute best time at our wedding with Silver Arrow Band. They play showcases in NYC at the bar below our apartment so it felt like fate! We utilized them throughout the whole day - our consultant Loren was very helpful in figuring out what groups of musicians would work best to shepherd us from the ceremony, through cocktail hour, and then on to the reception. I love that they will learn three special songs that are outside the regular repertoire. My only regret from the wedding day is that I didn't get more pictures - I literally could not get myself off the dance floor all night. I'm already looking forward to my best friend's wedding in September, because I get to see Silver Arrow Band again as a guest!

The Music Boutique was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very beginning, Scott was extremely helpful and responsive, and always providing us with great ideas, suggestions, and guidance to make our day special. We had a duo playing for our ceremony and during the cocktail hour and then we had a small 3 person band playing for our reception. And it was the perfect amount of people. We had spoken to some other bands and they all kept saying we need some big band for the reception, but since we were having less than 100 people at the wedding, we didn’t think it made sense to have like a 10 person band, it just seemed like it would overwhelm the whole wedding. And we knew we wanted a band component since my father plays guitar and I had a feeling would want to play a song at some point. Then we spoke with Scott, he seemed to understand our vision of having a small band. He loved the idea of my father playing a song, and made suggestions on when was the perfect time for him to play, and even laughed along with our idea of playing “September” by Earth, Wind, and Fire, over and over again, since we were getting married on “the 21st night of September” (we did not do this)! The day of the band was amazing! They even took the time to learn our first dance song, which was a fairly unknown track, and played it beautifully, and surprised us with playing it. Since we thought it was just going to be a recorded version of the song. That was very special to us! And they were more than happy to let my dad play his song to us. Overall, the band's performance was lively and engaging, and they kept our guests dancing all night long. We couldn't have asked for a better band to help make our wedding celebration so memorable, and couldn’t have done it with Scott!

We had Lucas DJ our wedding in Holbox recently. It was originally scheduled for March of 2020, but we had to cancel and move to Jan 2022. He was a true professional and so wonderful! He made himself available for our new date and didn’t even change his rate (even though he very well could have and all our other vendors did). At the wedding, he was incredible and created the most amazing vibe on the dance floor! The most common comment of the night from everyone, including myself: “I have had to pee for hours but don’t want to leave and miss a song!” He also made the most beautiful remixes of Persian dance numbers and other bangers (I am Iranian and my husband is Irish Catholic). Every single guest was on the dance floor for every single minute. On a personal note, he is also just an awesome and nice person. The best money spent for our entire wedding. I can’t recommend him enough and hope to hire him for every party we ever have!

Brian is one of the best wedding DJs in the business. In the past two years I’ve been to eight different weddings. Brian was the DJ for three of the eight, and the party/reception component of the events was never more fun than when Brian was driving the bus. He is an east coast DJ, but he spun tracks at both of my sister-in-laws’ weddings and as we were searching for a DJ for our own wedding we reached out just to see what he would charge for a wedding in Chicago. Turns out the price was right. Brian traveled to Chicago, MC’d our entire wedding, brought all of the equipment necessary and made our day exceptional in every way. I think there are a few things that really set Brian apart from other wedding DJs. Anyone can stand there and run through a playlist, but Brian went off book a few times to match and capture the energy of the guests. As we were in the midst of the planning process he added zero stress, and just calmly walked us through the process of selecting songs. He had suggestions and recommendations along the way. He even brought an extra speaker so that we could plug our digital piano in and the pianist would be able to play loudly enough. Overall, we can’t recommend Brian highly enough. You will not regret choosing him to DJ at your wedding, party, event. Whatever it is, Brian is a huge value add and a pleasure to work with.

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!!!

Soundz Amazing was so great for us to work with at our wedding reception! We got married in 2021 but due to covid we did not have any of our friends and family with us to celebrate. When we were able to have our reception in 2022 we worked with Mike and he was so responsive. Our reception was very non-traditional as we did not do any type of ceremony, first dances, wedding party, or formalities that are typically associated with weddings. Mike was so flexible and worked with us to create the exact atmosphere that we hoped for. In the weeks leading up to the ceremony Mike met with us multiple times and asked us questions that we hadn't even thought to consider. He was so helpful throughout every step and definitely decreased the amount of stress we were feeling. We had guests request songs through the RSVP feature on Zola and then sent them over before the ceremony, and Mike made sure to play all of them, and used our own personal requests to set the tone for the night. We were nervous about having a DJ that wouldn't take our preferences into consideration but that was not the case at all, I absolutely recommend Soundz Amazing DJ Services for your events!

As the couple getting married, I'm so sorry we did not get as much time to enjoy The Poor Cousins as our guests did. They were wonderful. We asked them to play our outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour. I also asked if they would be able to play a cover of a song that was not in their repertoire for our processional, and they absolutely did. They were very sweet and professional, and we would absolutely recommend them for bookings.

I was blown away by the talent of the musicians, they really take their craft seriously. I requested a Roaring Twenties theme from Louis Pettinelli and they went above and beyond to make it happen. The singer Karlea was phenomenal and did an amazing job of keeping our guests engaged and entertained. The musicians were all courteous, professional, and exceptionally talented. They dressed appropriately for our wedding theme and many of the guests at the Hawthorne Hotel wanted to take pictures with Karlea in her Twenties attire. In addition to being a wonderful experience, they were also a great value for the price. These are top quality musicians and we paid a reasonable price for the band. I highly recommend this group for your wedding.

All of our guests commented that the music at our wedding was lovely and really tied the whole event together. Our venue did not allow DJ's or amplified sound and Astrograss had no problem playing everything acoustically. They were really great communicating before our event. They learned 5 songs at our request and let us pick plenty others for them to play from their extensive repertoire. They even coordinated with our friend (who is a singer) who wanted to sing something for us which ended up being one of the highlights of the night.

Together we will create a playlist for your day that represents your unique tastes and one that will provide the most enjoyment for you and your guests. Your love is unique...so should be your Wedding Day.

Awarded Best of Zola
You won’t regret hiring Tony and Platinum Entertainment, but you will regret not hiring them. Your DJ/MC is one of the most if not the most important vendor that you will book for your wedding. I didn’t believe it until I saw it, but it’s true. Tony was recommended to us by our wedding photographer, Hannah of Hannah Lux Photography. We set up a video call ASAP and after the first few moments, knew he was the right person for our wedding. It was evident very quickly that Tony is beyond passionate about what he does. Throughout the planning process, Tony guided us through everything we needed, made recommendations, and not only tolerated but encouraged my many Taylor Swift requests (or demands). Our wedding was less than 60 people including my husband and I. With such an intimate wedding, we were nervous for a while leading up to the event that people wouldn’t dance, or might even treat it more like a dinner party than a wedding. We were so wrong! The dance floor went ALL NIGHT because of Tony. Friends and family members that I have never seen dance, on the dance floor for our ENTIRE reception having the time of their lives. Our guests RAVED about our DJ all night and I can’t think of a day that’s passed yet that someone hasn’t mentioned how great he was. Tony is more than a DJ or an MC, Tony is a professional, an expert in his craft, a talented and creative individual, and a genuine, true person and friend. We can’t thank him enough for what he did for us.
