Engaged Entertainment is a full-time entertainment provider, which means that your event is our 9-5 job, not just a weekend “gig.” You get more of our time and attention to make your event an unbelievable success!

Ryan was amazing and truly made our day so special! He really took time to learn about us as a couple and what our vision was for the day (even if it was a little different from the norm)! He helped map out the day, share the plan with our vendors and execute it. He even went above and beyond with some of our requests like making a custom mash up song for us. The day wouldn’t have been the same without him and our guests couldn’t say enough good things about the music!

Awarded Best of Zola
Justin was lovely to work with from the start. He was booked for another wedding, but he paired us up with Rob, an associate DJ of his. Both Rob and Justin were so so fun to work with. Rob took the time to text or set up whatever zoom calls we felt we needed. For the actual day, Rob was amazing. We had dinner service, reception, and "after party". Robs killed it with his flow between songs, and was incredibly accommodating and flexible if we had any requests in the moment, and was able to dodge or handle any "questionable" song requests that came his way. We knew that he always put my husband and I's wishes first. We also had multiple people comment on how good the DJ was during the reception, and after the fact! He also went above and beyond to pull heroics the day of to get some of our DIY spot lighting set up that wasn't set up the night prior. Rob was incredible to work with, and just as fun to chat with. Will miss working with them, but absolutely will be following their journeys and would use them again in a heartbeat! So thankful for Justin and Rob!

Ryan went above and beyond as our DJ. He helped organize the craziness of dinner before killing it on the table. The majority of our guests (we had a lot) either didn’t leave the dance floor or kept coming back! As the bride I only left to cool off then right back out to the best dancing songs he was playing. He narrated our guys vs girls flip cup game and even judged (girls won by default). All around an amazing job and I’d recommend him to anyone looking for a fun DJ who isn’t afraid to lend a hand and help get the job done, even if it’s a bit out of his job description. Thank you!

We paid for a 6 piece band, but one of our singers also played keys, so they added in a saxophone player for free! Was such a surprise and we loved it. Herve our main singer also spoke and sang some French and was able to do our first dance song to a favorite French song of ours. I refused to leave until the band did!

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!

He’s provided creative services and musical direction for weddings, international conferences, corporate events, retreats, films, some of the world's most beloved nightclubs, and underground music events and festivals.

Awarded Best of Zola
Lucas was recommended to us as "the DJ you want to hire if you want someone you can trust to keep your dance floor full and to read the crowd to keep your party going," which immediately appealed to us. We live in Brooklyn, and got married in the Catskills, and found out that Lucas also DJs regularly at some of our favorite spots in Brooklyn. From our first contact with Lucas, he was responsive, kind, interested in getting to know us and our taste, and super professional. We connected on a personal level as well as on a musical one. Now, having had Lucas DJ our wedding and supply all of the audio equipment, we can't recommend him highly enough. The audio for our ceremony and speeches worked without a hitch (he also helped to professionally feed our ceremony audio/music into our livestream setup), Lucas knew exactly the right moments to take cues for music, and when the dance party began, he played great music that totally matched our vibe and tastes, and as promised, he kept the dance floor full all night (no small feat, especially because we downsized our wedding to 60 guests). In addition to being an excellent DJ, he's also a great guy to be around, and on your wedding day, it's really nice to feel like you are surrounded by people you want to spend time with. Multiple people came up to us to ask about Lucas during and after our wedding, because he was that exceptional. Hire him and you will be so glad you did! Couldn't ask for more in a DJ.

The crowd work and interaction, along with their attentiveness to our vision with the evening and their fun personalities truly make for an amazing combination!! We cannot recommend them enough! One thing they did that truly set them above all other DJ’s I’ve experienced is their interaction with all our guests during cocktail hour - it was noted and commented on by almost every guest I spoke to, who found it to be such a great way to get the feel for the evening. Everyone had such a great time, and we couldn’t have asked for a better night. Thank you guys so so much!!!!

Shawn provided the entertainment for our October 7 wedding and we could not be happier that we hired him! Hiring a DJ can be tricky because it's one vendor you really can't "trial" before your big day. Shawn took away a lot of that stress with a comprehensive questionnaire he had us fill out ahead of the wedding. We also sent him a list of do not play songs and vibe suggestions, but trusted him to read the room to keep the dance floor packed all night. We also really appreciated that Shawn was there to curate an enjoyable vibe -- not to hear himself talk on the microphone all night. He played a great mix of music that was suitable for guests of all ages and backgrounds, yet still felt cohesive when played one after the next. A true professional! Our guests had a blast dancing the night away, and many of them told us how much they loved Shawn's DJing in the days following the wedding!

BVTLive! was all around an excellent choice for our wedding. DJ Linx was amazing! His communication was incredible; he responded to our emails and messages quickly, usually within a few minutes to an hour. We ran through the whole night with him in a few video calls leading up to the wedding. We went through all family intro pronunciations and he double checked with everyone the day-of to make sure everything was correct. He worked with our day-of coordinator to ensure the timeline was correct and everything ran smoothly. We gave him a few spotify playlists that he stuck to very well, with a few additions that were perfect. He read the room very well and everyone had a great time - kids, adults, and older relatives. The midnighters were super easy to work with! They performed for both our ceremony and cocktail hour. They have a long list of songs they are able to play for the procession and recession, and learned one song from scratch for us - a song they had never played before - and it sounded amazing. We heard so many rave reviews from our guests about how great they were. We would highly recommend both of these artists and BVTLive! as a whole.

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!!!

It’s the one-on-one relationship that you have with your event host throughout your planning that will, and absolutely should, spill over into the atmosphere of your event. Getting to know you with the desire to personalize your entertainment, not simply customize, is a large part of where creativity comes from, and not just mine, but yours as well! I love to offer many suggestions and ideas for your event but also find it just as important to hear your "unique" and "awesome" ideas.

Caroline and her team are among my top favorite DJs to work with when I am photographing a wedding. Everyone with Upbeat Occasions is extremely professional, but also knows how to have fun and get the party dancing! As a vendor, Caroline is a great team player and always makes sure the photographers, videographers, and caterers are informed about the schedule for the reception.

I grew up with family members that DJ'd most of my family's weddings CA. But since I got married in PA they weren't really an option and to be honest I am glad they weren't. Stefan was incredibly professional, detailed, and fun to work with. He was so flexible with all the things we had going on. He helped me immensely to ensure that everything was timed well throughout the day. He was a perfect MC, had amazing sound equipment. And more importantly played DOPE A** music. My husband is a skater at heart and so he loves the classic early 2000 music like Mr. Brightside. So much so that he had a whole list of songs he wanted Stefan to play in a series. And Stefan DELIVERED. the entire crowd was pumped up by the songs and it made the whole night that much more amazing. When I say that DJ Stefan is worth every penny I mean it. EVERY PENNY. You will not be disappointed and neither would your guests. Worry free, awesome music, that's where it is at. Thank you Stefan!!!!!!

The Love Revival Orchestra was truly an enormous highlight of our wedding day! The band played for our cocktail hour with a talented Jazz Trio, a parade to get our guests into the reception (so cool and lots of kudos from the guests!!), and an outstanding reception performance. There was not one moment that the dance floor was empty and they truly brought the best energy and talent. Music was one of our biggest priorities for the wedding day and our expectations were blown away. David was very collaborative, helping us to plan the perfect set list and answering all of our questions leading up to the day. We were also so appreciative that the band was able to not only learn but perform incredible renditions of our first dance song, and themes from Vanderpump and Star Wars (truly amazing live!).

We hired Adam to DJ at our wedding. His price quote was the best we received and I was impressed with his attention to detail, professionalism, and warmth right from the start. We had a small wedding (about 50 people) and the crowd was older, mostly in their 40s and up. Adam is young, but he really knows his music! He spent lots of time meeting with us to understand what kind of music we wanted and he was able to throw out suggestions that we hadn't even thought of. He provided the music for our ceremony as well as the reception and everything flowed beautifully. He was able to read the crowd well and many of us were on the dance floor from start to finish. All of our guests commented on the great job that he did. We highly recommend his services and would use him in the future if we ever needed a DJ for an event again!

The Grand Central Station Band 

5.0

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Cortland, NY

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

Being that we booked our wedding 18 months in advance we had the luxury of listening to just about every band in the Albany area. What we loved about Grand Central Station was, consistency ( same band members all the time), professionalism, cost, and references. We spoke to couples who had them at their wedding and the general consensus was they exceed their expectations. Hands down the best band in the area. If you are looking for a fun time with a band that can play ALL styles of music, you need to hire Grand Central Station

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.
