Our Team

Platinum DJ & Photobooth is owned and operated by Thomas and Laurie Kuerlemann, a husband and wife team who really love what they do … and it shows! Thomas loves music. He has been a musician all his life, and played the piano and bass with one of the top 8-piece wedding bands on Long Island when he started his career in 1990. He learned the in’s and out’s of the wedding industry and honed his skills in reading a crowd and becoming a professional entertainer in the Hudson Valley, NY. Additionally, he learned lighting and sound production from some of the best in the business. Thomas started his own DJ company because he wanted to give brides more options than just hiring a band for their wedding. This allowed him to really personalize couple's receptions and to get out in the crowd and engage the guests, getting them actively involved in the fun and excitement.

Laurie was a prominent member and vocalist of the same 8-piece band as Thomas. That’s how Thomas and Laurie met, and eventually fell in love and got married. Laurie’s years in the wedding industry had her in the spotlight, emceeing and guiding the flow, creating flawless and seamless events that guests won’t soon forget. Laurie’s warm and upbeat personality along with her knowledge and experience in wedding planning makes her the perfect emcee and wedding entertainment director for your event! Laurie’s genuine love for music and fun really shines through at every event and energetically engaging guests to join in the celebration.

Our Specialty

We specialize in uniquely personalized wedding receptions because every couple is different. We offer (2) packages, "MEMORABLE NIGHTS" and "REGAL AFFAIR". Additionally, we offer a large variety of personalized "add-on" options for you to choose from. You can keep your affair simple or make it as elegant and sophisticated as you want. . . it's really that easy and the choice is always yours! We find that more and more couples are enjoying the experience of being able to tailor their musical needs for their once-in-a-lifetime event rather than being limited to "prepackaged" deals that may or may not have what the couple is looking for. We will be here to hold your hand through the entire planning process and help you have the BEST wedding reception EVER!

Platinum DJ & Photobooth will create an extraordinary experience that precisely reflects your style, sophistication and taste. Platinum DJ & Photobooth provides:

* Beautiful thematic room lighting, coordinated to match your wedding colors or theme.

* Personalized spotlight monogram projection that can be displayed on the dance floor, wall or ceiling.

* Dancing on a Cloud effects so you and your spouse appear to be magically gliding through your first dance on a soft, white cloud.

* and other great add-on options.

Take a look at OUR SERVICES page for a full list of add-on options along with descriptions, pictures and examples of our work.

Your reception isn’t just a party that follows your wedding service and catered dinner. It’s a gala honoring the commitment you have made to each other and a chance for you and your guests to spend some time celebrating together. We offer a variety of options to intertwine the ceremony and the celebration, making it a seamless experience for you as a couple and all of your family and friends in attendance.

We believe so strongly that your reception is an extension of your ceremony that we've recently authored two books to help brides (and grooms) plan a successful wedding day. They are: “37 Easy, Cheap (EVEN FREE!) Ways To Make Your Wedding Uniquely You!” and “The 10 Wedding Insider Secrets.” SIGN UP TO GET YOUR FREE BOOKS and start planning. We offer these FREE, with absolutely no obligation!

Our commitment to excellence

We always strive to improve our services. We participate in continuing education on all topics related to the wedding industry through the American DJ Online University. Some of the training and classes we’ve attended include:

Our clients

We've served over 1,000 couples in our 15 years in business. We’ve maintained very good relationships with our past brides (some even have become very close friends of ours). More than 200 of them answered a recent survey about our services. We asked: "What was the number 1 reason you picked us over ALL the other DJs out there?" Their response was pretty overwhelming: "Because we felt more like friends and not just another client!"

Our business has grown primarily on word-of-mouth. We really want to thank our wonderful and loyal couples who have been our biggest promoters. It’s proof that when you do a job right, people remember.

Our promise

Rather than spending time and money on advertising and large overhead budgets, we focus our efforts on establishing and maintaining our credibility through the service we provide. You can trust that we will do our very best to add the touches to your special day that will make it more memorable that you ever imagined.

With our best wishes,

Thomas & Laurie Kuerlemann
Platinum DJ & Photobooth owners
