DJ Lou Paris 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Rensselaer, NY

DJ Lou Paris is a Wedding DJ out of the Hudson Valley area of NY, providing an extraordinary service to my clients. From gathering all the important information about your wedding in detail to having emergency plans in place to make sure there are no interruptions. I go the extra mile in everything that is done.

My wife and I had Lou DJ our upstate wedding and it was more than we could have dreamed of. From the beginning, he was nothing but professional. He met with us multiple times prior to the event to go over music selection, flow of the ceremony day etc. His website was very easy to use and allowed us to have a large role in our music selection for the day, even for the reception dance portion. Everything was reviewed at least 3 times to ensure there were no hiccups, and also to make sure we wouldn't have to worry about anything on the ceremony day. On the day, Lou came in very early to setup and his equipment was extremely unobtrusive and sounded amazing. From the ceremony to reception (and especially cocktail hour), the sound was fantastic and there was not a single hiccup (even with an outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour!). His flow through the reception was so smooth - and as a former college radio DJ, his music choice to fill in the gaps between the 'must plays' we sent him were impeccable!!! If you have a big heart for music and want it to be the backbone of any great party while having one of the most professional guys out there - Lou is 100% your guy. Thanks again Lou!!!!

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.

Style Points DJs was fantastic to work with for our wedding! From the beginning, Matt was quick and easy to communicate with, always responding promptly to our inquiries. He took the time to thoroughly understand our song preferences and timeline, incorporating our suggestions into a fun and high-quality reception playlist that had everyone dancing all night long. The value he provided was excellent - the service was fairly priced and the quality of his work was superb. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ! My family members aren’t all big dancers, but he had us all out there cutting a rug!

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!

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!

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

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!

BEST BAND EVER!!!! The whole experience was INCREDIBLE, not only was Trevor amazing to work with but also all my guests couldn’t stop raving about how amazing the band was. I’d book them every single time and have already sent their info to friends with weddings coming up. We got married at Saltwater Farm Vineyard with the ceremony and reception all in one place. Silver Arrow band did our ceremony sound, cocktail hour music, and reception and it all went PERFECTLY. For the ceremony, they played a Spotify playlist for our guests as they were seated for the 30 minutes before the ceremony, perfectly played the processional and recessional music (shout out Bridgeton for making quartet versions of Taylor Swift songs), and had the microphone and speaker set up for the ceremony. For the cocktail hour, I kept imagining a saxophone player (for no apparent reason) and Trevor let me know it’s usually just a keyboardist who plays during this time, which was absolutely fine, but they ended up adding a saxophone and keyboardist to make my vision come to life. We also had an MC who helped narrate the night. But I cannot highlight enough about how amazing the band was. My best friend who is a big fan of Broadway was in awe of the vocalists and my family literally started dancing on the tables because they were having so much fun listening to the band. It was a perfect blend of old school favorites and new songs. I strongly believe a band makes or breaks a wedding and Silver Arrow Band can absolutely make your wedding everything you want it to be and more. Not to mention they are the BEST price around for a 9 piece band and they deliver. Do not hesistate, you’re in great hands! Book them now! We also used their videography services and when you use both you get a discount, TOTALLY WORTH IT!

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.

When we first looked into hiring a DJ, we thought it was as simple as picking someone to play music and get the dance floor going. But we were impressed with how much more there was to it, and Collins Entertainment had it all covered from start to finish! There were so many details that we had not considered, like doing a "farewell dance" towards the end of the night. They also offered perspectives that we had not considered, like the benefits of doing wedding party introductions since we had not done programs. Because there is a team of DJs and they take incredible notes, it also means that there is a seamless transition in case of any emergencies. Our original DJ had a family medical emergency, but his colleague was able to step in without missing a beat (pun intended). We highly recommend!

Beach Nights - Live Band & DJ Combo 

5.0

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $8,500
  • Serves Rensselaer, NY

You’ve seen wedding bands before. But you’ve never seen one like us. Our wedding nights are, in a word, unforgettable. We specialize in epic dance hits, teary-eyed singalongs, and everything in between. Book us for your event and you'll get our award-winning Boston Wedding Band & DJ combo, PLUS our professional sound and stage lighting system at one simple rate, with absolutely NO overtime charges. We travel all over New England and beyond, so when you’re ready for our industry-leading talent and a game-changing event package all at one affordable wedding band price, we’re ready to celebrate with you.

We are still on a high from the most fun night of our lives all thanks to BeachNights band, Chris and DJ Connor!!! If you want to have music at your wedding that everyone will be talking about for years to come, book BeachNights for your reception and the DJ combo for your other music needs (ceremony, cocktail hour, afterparty). Booking BeachNights for all our music needs was the best decision we made for our wedding day. BeachNights far exceeded our expectations. Chris is so professional, organized, and easy to work with. They have so much experience in all types of venues; you will be glad you have a band who knows exactly what they need to do to put on a seamless performance. They keep the music process worry-free so you can focus on other aspects of wedding planning. A piece of unsolicited advice if I may, book BeachNights for everything: ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, afterparty. It was so much easier being able to talk to ONE person and coordinate all music through ONE group rather than having 4 music vendors involved in the planning process. They take time to learn about you as a couple, your music wants and needs, likes and dislikes so that every single song is exactly what you want and how you pictured your music on your wedding day. THANK YOU Chris and team for making our wedding dreams come true!

I don’t even know where to begin, but before I go into it. Don’t think- HIRE TONY. We worked with such an incredible team of vendors, and one of the most amazing thing about Tony is that he is so in tune (pun intended) with the wedding industry that he works so well with everyone, is a true team player, and helps to make sure every single aspect of your wedding runs smoothly. We had an initial meeting with Tony before we even signed a contract and within seconds of hanging up we knew we had to work with Tony. He just gets it. He gets everything about weddings. He knows how to curate the perfect vibes and music. He is a phenomenal MC. He has your back throughout every step leading up to the wedding. We had a few meetings with Tony to discuss our goals for the wedding and every time we met with him we got more and more confident that Tony was going to absolutely kill it. Little did we know that Tony was going to create the most perfect set list of songs, create the most perfect mashups, and create a night that every guest and every age group would enjoy. My 86 year old grandma danced the ENTIRE night thanks to Tony’s expertise. You can tell from the minute you meet Tony that he loves what he does. We have had so many friends and family members tell us how incredible Tony was and how we had the most fun wedding they’ve ever been to. We’re biased but we agree. Tony made such an incredible impact not only on us, but all of our guests. Also to add, Tony brought cold sparklers and extra lighting for us that absolutely blew our minds. Our dance floor was PACKED from the minute it opened. Tony is a top notch entertainer and a top notch person. If you are given the opportunity to work with him, don’t think twice. Do it. I promise you will not regret it.

Music makes the wedding! In fact, it's the centerpiece of your wedding - and a great, joyous, dynamic wedding band will make your event truly special and memorable. The Love Revival Orchestra is not your typical Wedding Band. We are able offer boutique-style service because we are a REAL band - with world-class musicians who've played hundreds of gigs together and are great friends!

Awarded Best of Zola
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!). The Love Revival Orchestra is a truly incredibly talented band that played everything from The Beatles to The Cranberries to Taylor Swift and so much more. We are so grateful for everything and have the highest recommendation for Love Revival Orchestra.

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!
