We recently had our wedding on May 3, 2024, and Jeff from BTSound was our DJ. Jeff was absolutely awesome to work with and really listened to everything we had to say. We had an interview with him beforehand, and it made me instantly want to work with him. As an avid music fanatic and house head, we didn't want just a "wedding DJ"; We wanted a real DJ, and Jeff truly is one. He has the background to back it up. Jeff was very easy to work with, incredibly personable, and willing to play whatever we wanted to hear. We couldn’t have found a better DJ for our wedding. If you’re looking for a DJ who understands music and will make your event unforgettable, Jeff from BTSound is the one to go with.

To tell the story of our couples on the most important day of their life is something our team takes to heart. We guarantee that after your wedding day has ended, your guests will be raving about the unique moments we helped create. No 2 weddings are alike when you book us because we make sure to bring light to the things that make you as a couple different.

Ken is an absolute pleasure to work with! He truly cares about giving you exactly what you dream of for your wedding. He listens to everything that’s important to you and then adds special touches that makes your day feel so special. He is compassionate and caring. I still remember when he “teared up” listening to our love story……he truly cares and wants to be a part of your love story to make the day perfect. He has your best interest at heart. He is an unbelievable DJ. He reads the crowd well and adjusts accordingly. We know he absolutely loves his work because he was always engaged and checking in with us routinely to make sure everything was perfect and he never stopped smiling when working on our wedding day. Our dance floor was full all night and never sizzled out, not even for one song. The CO2 cannons kept people cooled off on the dance floor. To this day, people still talk about how amazing and fun our wedding was and how amazing our DJ was. Several people have told us that our wedding is in their top 5 in terms of the best weddings they have been to and we know it has a lot to do with Ken and his hard work. He is the best!

We invite you to visit our new website for all the exciting details of our services, at www.parkavenueorchestra.com

Hank and the Park Avenue Orchestra were absolutely amazing! Throughout the whole planning process, Hank was extremely helpful and patient. He made it very clear from the start that they would do anything to make our day amazing – and they did not disappoint. I was completely blow away on our actual wedding day. My husband and I, of course, watched all of their videos (which were great), but they didn't compare to the live performance. The whole band was incredible – the drums, horns, guitar, the singers. All of our guests danced the entire time. They were also able to accommodate some of our special requests – our first dance song was not on their song list, and they were able to learn it in time for our day. They also let my father and brother play a song with the band (drums + bass) – it truly made our day! I can’t recommend Park Avenue Orchestra enough.

Felix & Fingers was the best addition to my wedding! We had a BLAST. It’s the best mix between a live band and sing along karaoke (but you don’t want your uncle to get the mic, you know?). They did beautiful ceremony music, incredible sax jazz during cocktail hour to keep it classy. Then, they kept everyone engaged and entertained for the reception, from my aunt in a walker to my college friends twerking. We danced the night away but lost our voices from screaming along with the songs too. 10/10 you can’t go wrong with dueling pianos - DJs and wedding bands are out, Felix & Fingers is IN!

I had the pleasure of attending my son's wedding this past weekend, and I am beyond thrilled to share my genuine appreciation for the outstanding services provided by Nicky Avalo Studios. As a fellow wedding photographer, I held high expectations, and I can honestly say that Nicky exceeded every single one of them. The DJ was nothing short of phenomenal.

The attendant brought was a lot fun and there was a line of people all night. But what truly stood out was Nicky Avalo himself.

I got into DJing by accident. After learning that working as an Industrial Engineer in a fortune 500 company didn't bring me much fulfillment, a friend suggested I join his DJ company. His company supplied DJ services for over 200 weddings a year! After my first wedding gig I was hooked. It gave me purpose, and an outlet I never knew was possible. I quickly became the most requested DJ in the company and within my market. Now I DJ on my own, and I'm so blessed to be able to curate an atmosphere of joy where families can connect.

He was really able to feel the pulse of the event & keep the party going, the dance floor was packed the whole night.

Jeremy and the New Vintage Strings quartet were incredible. Jeremy facilitated the communication for the quartet, was prompt, thorough, and extremely helpful from start to finish with all aspects. The New Vintage Strings quartet played the ceremony and cocktail hour for our wedding on Saturday, June 15th, 2024, and were a massive hit for all who attended. Their resources were user-friendly, and their repertoire was expansive. The New Vintage Strings quartet were also willing to find the sheet music for a song that was not on their list of songs. It was an absolute pleasure to work with New Vintage Strings and relatively cost-friendly given how expensive live music can be, particularly for weddings. I highly recommend having New Vintage Strings play your wedding or event where music may be appropriate. A massive thank you to Jeremy and the rest of the New Vintage Strings quartet for their lovely performance and making our wedding even more spectacular!

Hey there! I’m Trevor, owner of tH2o Entertainment. For nearly a decade, I’ve been passionate about creating unforgettable moments on the dance floor, DJing weddings and events both locally and internationally. My goal is to bring your vision to life with personalized service and exceptional care. My services are tailored to reflect your unique style, ensuring a truly personal experience. You can also elevate your celebration with stunning enhancements!

Trevor DJed our wedding after we saw him in action at another event and requested his info. We have since had people from our wedding ask for his info and he is now DJing their wedding. He communicates well and really got to know us so he could curate the perfect list of songs to achieve the vibe we wanted. He has great energy and made our reception so fun that we extended it for another hour just to keep the party going.

Pete with Pete's My DJ was an amazing DJ for our wedding! His communication throughout the planning process was great - he was very responsive, professional, and made sure he understood all the little details that were important to me. The quality of his work was fantastic. He perfectly executed my walk down the aisle song and timing, and knew how to keep the dance floor packed all night by playing the right mix of songs to appeal to all our guests. I gave Pete some special song requests that were meaningful to me and he seamlessly incorporated them while also reading the vibe of the crowd.
