I've never worked with a DJ as good as Drew and his crew. Drew had sent me an email a few weeks before the couples wedding with the reception timeline (a first) and kept me up-to-date with any last minute changes the day of. It is clear by working with Drew how much he loves his job and how much he cares about the couples he works with. He got the crowd going, the dance floor was always packed and he invited the couple up to DJ booth which was so fun for them and also amazing for pictures. If you are looking for a DJ who cares, gets the dance floor going and is easy to work with, BEG Event Group is it. I will be recommending them to all my clients!

DJ Dana did our wedding on 8/31/24 and we highly recommend him! He took into account my wedding playlists, and knew when to play the right songs. It took a lot of stress out of our day. He was very early, and set up with plenty of time to spare. His speaker system and microphones for toasts worked great. He brought his own lights to add to the party and even added some to our sweetheart table to spice it up! He was very thoughtful, and even sang us L-OV-E by Nat King Cole very tastefully and casually while people were finishing dinner. Highly recommend… thank you DJ Dana!

I cannot recommend Scott enough. From the day we met with him, a year out from the wedding, to the day of, he was nothing short of incredible. Not only is he an incredible person to work with, but he is incredible at every aspect of his job. Scott's personality radiates excitement and passion and his knowledge and expertise is second to none; he truly was made for this job. He was not only organized himself but helped us organize our entire event, including aspects that did not involve DJ or sound services and really did go ABOVE AND BEYOND in aspects we never expected to get from our DJ. He helped us edit songs for our first dances, coordinated our entrances, helping us with our overall wedding timeline, gave us suggestions and ideas for all aspects of the wedding, created a truly special NYE countdown, and so, so much more. Hiring Scott was probably one of the best decisions we made throughout the entire wedding process and we could not recommend him enough. I am saving his contact for when my own sisters get married someday, he's THAT good. And Scott, if you're reading this- we cannot thank you enough!!

We even gave his timeline to the wedding venue coordinator and she asked who he was because they were so impressed!

Awarded Best of Zola
We recently hired Press Play Entertainment for a Bnei Mitzvah celebration. Keith and his team were a delight to work with. Keith was very communicative and cooperative in the planning stages and fleshed out a great program for the event. There wasn't a single point during our planning conversations where I felt he was "pushing" services; in fact I felt that he really listened to what I wanted and even discouraged me from purchasing extra services when I inquired about them, which I really appreciated. At the event itself, he and his team were energetic and upbeat and managed to get even the most reluctant guests to participate in the fun and really enjoy themselves. Just like with many events of this kind, we encountered a few small challenges (larger crowd than was expected for the space rented, a few "non-compliant" teens) that Keith and team handled seamlessly and flawlessly. Most importantly, everyone had a great time! Many of the adult guests came up to me after the party to express how impressed they were by Keith and team and said they had never seen another entertainer be so effective and engaging at a party. I agree with them 100% and would honestly never consider hiring anyone else for any future events.

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
Worked with Style Points DJs at Seven Ponds Farm. The Dj was really friendly towards me and communicated with us on the things that we needed. We worked towards a common goal which is to make the client happy. It wasn’t a competition but instead a team work. It was the first time working with him but the energy was like we have worked together for ages. As a videographer that needed to use his connector for better sound quality, working with him was a breeze. We weren’t afraid to approach him for anything because he was so friendly and all smile. Style Point Djs rock and can’t wait to work with them again.

DJ Tay worked with us in the months leading up to the wedding to coordinate instrumental piano covers for our ceremony which turned out beautifully. We also gave him a spreadsheet with songs we definitely wanted to play, others that were maybes and a few not to. He worked off this list but there were still a lot of songs I’d hoped to play that we didn’t hear, and also a handful I hadn’t asked for - but it is what it is. He also brought some great colorful lighting and uplights for the space which really added to the vibe. Overall Taylor did a good job DJ-ing our wedding reception! (Some fun hora photos to share)

  • Serves Essex, MA

Have it your way! That is my philosophy. There are so many different tastes and styles to accommodate, so I work extra hard to make your day exactly how you want it. What's the secret? I listen! I pay attention to each individual client and their own needs. I've been using this philosophy for years, and it has been working quite well! I am constantly learning more about my first love: Music! As a Master of Ceremonies, the philosophy is the same. I never say too much, it is not about me! It's about the client, and I never want to outshine or take any of their attention away.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I had some strong opinions about the music that should be played at our wedding - for example, no classic wedding songs or oldies. We asked Graeme to cater to the younger crew at our wedding (70% of our wedding guests were 35 or younger) and he delivered. Once we opened the dance floor I never saw anyone sitting down again for the rest of the night. The tent rental company had told me that the dance floor I wanted to rent was much larger then needed for our weddings size but Graeme was able to keep it full and even over flowing all night long. He knows how to throw a party! In addition we had an outdoor ceremony and even though the wedding wasn't particularity large (98 guests) the space he needed to make music & sound work for was very large and far away from an electrical source. Graeme worked directly with my venue to ensure he had everything he needed to make the day go off without a hitch.

DJ Dan was absolutely amazing! My husband and I currently live in the United Kingdom and flew back to the states for our wedding. He was super accommodating when working with us. I was extremely specific with what music I wanted played throughout the night and had playlists already made. DJ Dan was on board with playing the playlists and then keeping the same vibe if the music ran out. DJ Dan was on top of everything which made the day seamless from the ceremony to cocktail hour to the reception. He had great energy which kept the guests up dancing throughout the night. He even allowed my ring bearer (ages 4 and 6) who were intrigued by the whole DJ booth to get up and check it out!! One of the biggest decisions when planning a wedding is getting the DJ. Not just any DJ, but a good DJ that matches your energy, sets the tone you're looking for, and making sure the guests have a good time at your wedding. We truly couldn't have picked another DJ - he matched our vibe, was beyond great with our guests, and was all around excellent. Would recommend him to anyone asking for a DJ!!

His Passion 4 DJ’n Transitioned 2 A Different Clientele, Although His Love 4 Entertaining Has Always Remain The Same!

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!!!

Awarded Best of Zola
We could rave about DJ Thrilla all day long, but in the words of our wedding guests: “Best dance floor we’ve seen in a long time!” It’s been weeks since our wedding and our guests can’t stop talking about how great the music was. Arthur did a great job with the ceremony and cocktail hour, and managed a tricky parent dance section (multiple sets of parents & timing!) We requested a Taylor Swift mashup and he exceeded expectations and made it the highlight of our night. The dance floor was always packed, and Arthur did a great job of taking into account our requests while playing music everyone would enjoy. We opted to use uplighting as well, which looked beautiful during dinner (we chose a warm lighting) and was so fun for the dance floor with flashing lights. By the end of the night, he even had guests asking him to travel to Texas to DJ their wedding! Booking DJ Thrilla was one of the best vendor decisions we made for our wedding and we could not recommend him more!

Had the pleasure of having Emmet & Naomi play at our wedding. They are kind, thoughtful, communicative people and of course, very talented. They contributed in no small part to the beautiful ambience of our special day! Just give their music a listen on bandcamp and you'll see what I mean -- it brought my wife to tears (of joy!) Thanks again for being a part of it! Much love, AJ Ari

Jimmy was the most incredible DJ for our special day at Loon Mountain Resort! He truly went above & beyond what I could have asked for. He ran the tech for our Ceremony on the top of our mountain, played cocktail hour music, Was the MC for Intros/Speeches, & played all of the songs we curated for him in an order that kept the dance floor going all night (to the point where people booed when the lights came on because they wanted to keep partying) Loll. Above all, he is a true professional & a joy to work with & answered all of my questions. I cannot recommend Jimmy’s Ice Entertainment enough! You will not regret it.

We knew we wanted to work with DJ Nazzy as soon as we started planning our wedding, because he was the DJ at my now-brother-in-law's wedding and did an amazing job. We can now say the same about him about our own wedding. After our detail meeting with him, my Day of Coordinator said his timeline is the most organized she's ever seen from a DJ! On the wedding day, from ceremony music to reception celebration, Nazzy was an absolute rock star! His enthusiasm throughout the night - but especially for the bridal party introductions - really added extra layer of excitement and personal touch to the reception. But where the truly shined was on the dance floor! Nazzy kept the energy high and the party going all night long. Seamless transitions and songs catered to all ages and genres kept everyone on their feet and dancing all night. He worked in some special requests we had with a welcome speech after our first dance, an anniversary dance, a special dance with my dad and cousins, as well as a bouquet dedication for my mom. Nazzy also includes a photo booth in most of his packages, which we and our guests had so much fun with all night long! If you want a wedding DJ who not only manages every aspect of your day with professionalism but also infuses it with enthusiasm and keeps the dance floor packed, look no further than DJ Nazzy! He made our wedding day and night an absolute blast and we would highly recommend him!

One of the biggest things our guests told us before the wedding was that they wanted to DANCE as much as possible. We also knew a DJ can make or break the vibe of the reception. Michael was awesome! He made the whole process leading up to the wedding easy and he kept our dance floor packed all night. He played something for every generation in attendance as was very in-tune with what people wanted to hear and when they needed a break. Far beyond your average mediocre wedding DJ. Would absolutely work with Michael again for future events.

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.
