Here at DJ Double E we strive at five star reviews and cherish and handle your wedding as it was our own we have lots to offer from three stages of dance floor lighting up lighting packages dancing on the clouds cold spark introductions monogram gobos excellent MC service setups for every occasion projection projects economical photo booth bundles bubbles fog machines laser lights moving heads and we even offer photography for every event possible please check us out and check all our reviews Google us!

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!!!

Dylan was absolutely phenomenal as our wedding DJ and emcee! From the very start, he was incredibly communicative, professional, and so helpful throughout the planning process. He gave us great suggestions and made sure every detail was perfectly planned. On the day of our wedding, he truly exceeded our expectations. Not only did he keep the energy high and the dance floor packed all night, but the flow of the entire evening was seamless. As the emcee, he guided us and our guests through every key moment—from introductions to speeches, to special dances—with such ease. His timing was flawless, and everything transitioned so smoothly that we could just relax and enjoy the night. The vibe he cultivated was unbelievable—it’s hard to even put into words just how perfect his song choices were. He expertly read the room, adjusting the music to keep everyone on the dance floor and having the time of their lives. It felt like he knew exactly what we wanted without us even having to ask. The transitions were seamless, the energy was high, and everyone (of all ages) was up and dancing. We had so many guests tell us this was the best wedding they’ve ever been to, and a huge part of that credit goes to Dylan. He truly brought our celebration to life, and we couldn’t have asked for a better DJ. If you’re looking for someone who will make your wedding unforgettable, Dylan is your guy!

  • Starts at $800
  • Serves Poughkeepsie, NY

Jesse and Justin have been playing music together since they met performing in a band at Disneyland in 2001. After moving to Beacon, NY around the same time, it made sense to start an official wedding music business to share their love of music with some of the many happy couples getting married in the Hudson Valley. One thing they love about playing music for weddings is the variety that is required of them. Every gig is different and they all happen on one of the happiest days of the clients' lives!

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Skylark to perform the ceremony and cocktail hour music for our wedding and they were amazing.! We were able to communicate with them efficiently and hash out our “music vision.” Unfortunately, due to issues with our shuttle buses our wedding had to be delayed by an hour and a half, but luckily Justin and Jesse were there to keep the guests that had arrived entertained with their music while they waited. I also appreciated that they learned the songs that I envisioned my bridal party and I walking down the aisle to, which helped make the moment even more magical. My now husband and I were very happy with their services and would hire them again!

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!

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!

Well, I have and couldn't be more thrilled that she's on my team! She's easy to work with, eager, and my couples love her. Our company produces nearly 200 events a year, with most of them being weddings and we are committed to have exceptional talent, so I would never have anyone on my team that I couldn't hold up our values. She's awesome!

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!

Cooper Union was the life of the party! We are beyond grateful to have found Brennan to work with and that he was willing to travel to NY for our wedding in the Hudson Valley. Music was important to us and Cooper Union absolutely delivered, and exceeded expectations. We had ceremony, cocktail hour and reception music all included. The band was able to learn and play all of the songs for first dances and parent dances. We had a few phone calls to talk out our music taste and the set list they put together was right up our alley. We have not heard the end of the compliments from guests and other vendors about how awesome the band was. Our only wish is that we had more than just a few hours to spend dancing and partying with the band! Would recommend booking to any and every couple. Thank you so much!!

Elegant Music Group is a full-scale entertainment company offering Bands, DJs, Lighting, Photo Booths, and Event Production. EMG has been providing the highest level of service in event entertainment for over 30 years, and our experience has taught us to prioritize two things above all else: Event Talent + Customer Service. We pride ourselves on creating spectacular and immersive experiences.

We couldn’t have been more thrilled with the music for our reception and cocktail hour! We went with The Gramercy, a DJ/band combo, and they were absolutely amazing. From start to finish, they kept the energy up and made sure the music was exactly what we wanted. They were incredibly interactive with our guests, which really added to the fun. It wasn’t just background music—it was a key part of the celebration, and everyone felt engaged. They played every song we requested perfectly and seamlessly filled in with other tracks that hit the mood exactly right. The vibe was always on point, and we had guests commenting that it was the best wedding music they had ever experienced. Beyond their talent, they were also so easy to work with. The whole process was super streamlined, from submitting song requests and details through their app to coordinating with the venue. They were professional, responsive, and just an absolute joy to work with. One highlight was when they played "Shipping up to Boston" and all of the Boston College alumni went crazy on the dance floor! See the pics below, from our amazing photographer Carolina Rivera (who we also recommend!) We had the best time, and the music made the night unforgettable. We can’t thank The Gramercy enough for helping us create such an incredible celebration!

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.

My wife and I were very pleased with our experience with Style Points. I personally was impressed with how Matt continuously checked in with us throughout the process of booking and preparing for the wedding, as well as during the event itself. He made sure he had our approval and that we were on the same page before proceeding with any important parts of the night. MC-ing was great for introductions and announcements as well. As far as music, it could not have been better. We have an affinity for 90s and 00s hip hop, which Matt was very knowledgeable about. The song selection was great from start to end and the dance floor was lively the whole time. Highly recommend!

If you need a DJ who can play ANYTHING and EVERYTHING you want - then Kelton is the one for you.

Awarded Best of Zola
Going into my wedding planning process, I knew that our crowd would skew older and probably not be too into dancing. This was a bummer for me as I love music and dancing! We also were blending two cultures (Hispanic and Russian) as well as an eclectic taste in music, so I was concerned that a DJ wouldn't be able to smoothly transition between all these "vibes". When I met with Kelton to discuss our wedding and these situations, he was so positive and reassuring that it made me feel a lot better. We stayed in touch over the months between the initial booking and the wedding, and he was always SO helpful and detail-oriented that it even helped other parts of the wedding schedule! On the big day, he arrived right on time and ready to go. He worked flawlessly with my venue and the officiant to make sure all the cues, announcements, etc were correct and timely. The ceremony went off without a hitch, but the reception was even better! Kelton managed to get EVERYONE - even our 65+ year old crowd - on their feet!! He had a huge variety of music, so there was really something for everyone. It was everything I dreamed of, made possible by Kelton's DJ skills and experience. Can't recommend him enough for your event!

We hired Pat & Sean to help set the mood at our wedding ceremony with live music and it was serene. They rocked the party at our cocktail hour and our guests had an absolute blast jamming with them. When it came to the reception, Pat and Sean played music off the cuff with absolutely no direction/supervision and no playlist to work off of at all - and they KILLED IT. We danced through that last song of the night and it couldn't have went better. Thanks Pat and Sean! These guys are true professionals through and through and when it comes down to it they are a blast to party with too!

One thing about me, I’m going to leave a review! Having officiated several weddings over the years, I've witnessed a myriad of bands take the stage, but this particular band stands out. Living Jade’s remarkable blend of professionalism, talent, and passion elevated the atmosphere of the entire ceremony and reception. It’s refreshing to have musicians who understand volume control during the ceremony. I could actually hear myself think and I didn’t have to compete with their playing when moving the service along. Their ability to read the crowd, catering to both young and old, ensured the dance floor was never empty. The soulful melodies during the vows brought tears to many, and their vibrant tunes during the reception brought uncontainable joy. I wholeheartedly recommend them to any couple seeking a musical experience that resonates long after the last note. Exceptional in every sense!

Shawn did an awesome job! He did the music for our wedding ceremony, the music for the reception, provided uplighting, and the photobooth. My now husband and I enjoyed working with Shawn. He is funny, easy going, and patient. His questionnaire is very detailed and is very helpful for pulling the music together for the day. He also was very focused on making sure my now husband and I heard what we wanted to hear for the music. During the ceremony, Shawn timed the music perfectly. We saw later watching videos that he even cut the microphone out for my brother, the officiant of the wedding, when my brother almost started talking over parents walking down the aisle. Thanks for that, Shawn! Later in the night, we had other challenges with our timeline due to longer than expected speeches, too many tables to say hi to, and my own indecisiveness. Shawn handled all these obstacles very smoothly, kept an eye on the crowd and helped us stay in tune with when we needed to get the dance floor going. He played the songs we requested and helped us out with choosing songs for younger people. Since the wedding went by so quickly, I think the thing I am most grateful for is all the photos and videos he took of the night. The day was a bit of a blur and Shawn let us relive the night by sending us tons of photos and videos of everyone dancing. Thank you for that, Shawn!
