  • Serves Rensselaer, NY

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.

Underfloor MUSIC was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding! From the moment we connected with Kyle, their communication was quick and efficient, which was so helpful as we were navigating a venue change from New York to Massachusetts. The travel fee they charged for the move was very reasonable, and we were thrilled to have them there to keep the energy high all night long. Underfloor MUSIC brought the absolute best energy and kept the dance floor packed the entire celebration. They played the perfect combinations of songs that had our guests of all ages dancing the night away.

We couldn't have asked for a better musical experience on our special day!

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 not only offers DJ services but also Audio Guestbook and Photo Booth Services as well. Reach out for pricing and packages!

Awarded Best of Zola
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!

As soon as I got engaged, I immediately started seeking a musician because music and ambience is so important to me. I listened to so many different options and was thrilled when I found Anthony. His voice, style and entire package was exactly what I was looking for and I will be forever grateful that he was a part of the most special day of my life and truly made it perfect. I remember just stopping and taking a moment during my wedding reception to just watch and listen to his performance and felt so incredibly lucky that he was singing at my wedding. His piano and guitar skills are incredible and his voice is beautiful. He is so incredibly talented. All night, my guests kept coming up to me to tell me how amazing he was and I felt so proud that everyone could enjoy the experience. Working with Anthony was so easy and positive. Planning a wedding is so stressful but Anthony being so accommodating, patient, helpful, attentive and calming made it much less stressful for me. Anthony is not only amazing and talented but he is a kind and genuine person and working with him was an absolutely wonderful experience. You can tell he puts his heart into his work and cares about the people he is working with. I will be forever grateful for him making my wedding absolutely perfect.

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Serves Rensselaer, NY

Wedding and event band based in New York’s Capital Region. We do cocktail jazz, wedding receptions, ceremony music and more. Today, jazz is a rarity, especially in its purist live form. This condition is a result of its limited availability, and the higher prevalence of rock bands in most areas. We at T. L. Holloway seek to alleviate this issue. As students of the jazz classics, we seek to provide authentic American jazz to venues and events all over the Northeastern United States.

Mellow jazz set the perfect mood for our son’s wedding - Steve worked with us to integrate the band into the festivities, and they know how to set the mood without stealing the show. Bravo!

We also shared our preferences for DJs beforehand, and Jordan executed them perfectly, even playing requests immediately. Joe, our videographer, was equally fantastic. He worked seamlessly with our photographer, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. I’m so excited to see the final video—I just know it’s going to be incredible!

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

Paul and the band are premier entertainment in the Capital District. We chose them for our wedding after seeing them perform several shows around the area. They are well versed in all of the components that go into your big day and that relieves a lot of stress. The only time the dance floor was empty was when we were eating. Every member of the band is extremely talented, from the bass and drums as the foundation, the tasty licks and riffs from the guitar and the incredible vocals. Their versatility impressed everyone at our wedding and cannot express how grateful we are for putting on a spectacular show. I will be recommending Grand Central Station to anyone who is looking for entertainment for their wedding. Thank you guys! J&K

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!

We sent them a playlist of our 'vibe' and the set list they created kept everyone dancing all night. This did not feel like a 'wedding band' it felt like the performers were enjoying themselves, having fun and doing what they love.

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!

We had an initial planning meeting, he set us up with our own timeline (an app that he created!), we had a follow-up meeting and then a week-of meeting! We felt so ready when the day came but were still so surprised about how much DJ Lou did for us. He was checking to see if we were okay, pulling us away to make sure we were eating, working with our other vendors so seamlessly- our ceremony musicians, our officiant, our family band, and our photographer! It made the reception a hit among all our guests! We can't recommend him enough!

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.

If your looking for an awesome, amazing DJ for your special event, soundz amazing DJ service is the way to go. Mike was absolutely amazing in everything that he did to make it an amazing night. My wedding was far from traditional. We had a disney themed wedding, Mike came up with ideas on how to incorporate the theme, he introduced the bridesmaids and groomsman as princesses and princes, and the bride and groom as queen and king. He came up with the idea of doing voiceovers to make the father and daughter dance and the husband and wife a little more special. There wasn't a dry eye in the room. He got everyone on the dance floor, the song selections were great. He listens to what couples want, he really spends time to get to know his clients before the event. He makes sure everything is correct even if there happens to be changes the day before or the day of. Mike and his wife were everything we were looking for in a dj service. We honestly can't thank them enough! Briana and Sperling

Not a single hiccup occurred throughout the night, reflecting their level of class and respect for their craft.

The music was fantastic, the lights around the room were done perfectly and the dancing on the clouds made the pictures look like a dream What stood out most was their approachability. They were incredibly easy to talk to, and my wife had zero problems making last-minute changes – they handled it with ease and a smile.

We booked Collins Entertainment for our October wedding at the Interlaken Inn in Lakeville, CT. We had an unbelievably amazing experience with this company from the top to the bottom. Our DJ, Jared, was exceptional with music selection, a master emcee, was accommodating and seemed to be everywhere at once. My guests left saying he was the best DJ they've ever seen at a wedding for how many hits he put out. He was able to read the crowd really well, and knew how to get everyone on the dance floor. Jared had battery-powered setups for both the ceremony and reception, so we didn't have to worry about outlets in a remote area outdoors, which was very nice. Our planning sessions with Jim, Mitch, and Jared were comprehensive and they gave us all the tools we needed to succeed. The package price was very reasonable too, and was a leading factor for why we chose them as well. We used their mirror photo booth as well, which was very fun. The mirror booth even came with a long red carpet! The operator, Randall, was very accommodating and helpful with guests, making it fun and easy for everyone. We highly recommend Collins Entertainment!

I am so impressed with how nice, friendly, easygoing, and talented this band is. Without them the day wold NOT have been the same, my Dad wants to throw another party just so he can use them!

Golden Scroll Soloists 

5.0

  • Ceremony only
  • Serves Rensselaer, NY

The Golden Scroll Soloists have been wowing Northeast audiences with a variety of styles for 20 years, melding familiar songs you love into an elegant string quartet experience. We helped popularize the "crossover string quartet", much like the Vitamin String Quartet, during the early days of classical crossover. Our style, now made mainstream by Bridgerton, predated the Netflix hit show by 15 years. We're ready to play for your ceremony, your cocktail hour, or maybe even your reception. Choose from a string quartet, string trio, string duo, or violin soloist. Let's start planning the soundtrack to your happily ever after!

The Golden Scroll Soloists delivered an absolutely exceptional performance that elevated our wedding ceremony to heights we never imagined possible. From our first interaction with Kevin, the director, until the final note played at our ceremony, their professionalism and artistic excellence shone through every aspect of their service. Kevin's communication was outstanding throughout the planning process. He was responsive, detailed, and genuinely invested in ensuring the music would perfectly match our vision for the day. This proved invaluable, especially given some unexpected challenges we faced during the ceremony. What truly sets this quartet apart is their ability to adapt and perform flawlessly even under difficult circumstances. Despite receiving no support or direction from our wedding planner (who was unexpectedly absent during the ceremony), the quartet showed remarkable poise and professionalism. When sudden rain threatened to disrupt the proceedings, they seamlessly adjusted without missing a beat. Even when timeline issues arose - again due to the missing planner - they demonstrated incredible flexibility and kept the musical program flowing beautifully. The musical performance itself was nothing short of magical. Their renditions of our chosen songs were deeply moving, perfectly capturing the emotion of each moment. The way they performed our most cherished pieces brought tears to many eyes, including our own. Their technical skill was evident in every note, but it was their ability to infuse each piece with genuine feeling that made their performance truly outstanding. We cannot emphasize enough how grateful we are for their presence on our special day. For any couple considering live music for their ceremony, we cannot recommend the Golden Scroll Soloists highly enough.

Your love is unique...so should be your Wedding Day.

Awarded Best of Zola
The first time I met Tony I knew he was going to be our DJ. He was so easy to talk to, and aside from that out of all the DJs we met with he was the only one that asked us what we wanted and what kind of music we had in mind. Hiring Tony was by far THE BEST decision we have ever made. Our dance floor was packed all night, and even the event staff were dancing throughout the night because he was that good. Everyone I talk to raves about how much fun they had and how awesome he was. Not only will he make sure the music is great and your dance floor is on fire, but he actually cares about what you and your significant other want. The week before our wedding so many vendors were reaching out to us about all the things that needed to be finalized; but when we met with Tony that Tuesday before our wedding he was such a breath of fresh air. After that meeting my finance and I were like okay we are ready, and we know we are going to have fun. Not only is Tony himself an amazing DJ and person but so are the other members of his team. One of his associates was the DJ for our afterparty and he was equally as amazing. We can honestly say that we had SO MUCH FUN at our wedding and a large part of that was due to Tony and his team. We would hire Tony and his team again in a heartbeat and we recommend that you hire him too!
