About

Since 1995, Spinners Entertainment, a full-service wedding entertainment company based in Wyckoff, New Jersey, has been providing couples with an unforgettable wedding entertainment experience.

My name is Jay Della Valle and I believe that hiring the right entertainment service for your wedding or special event is responsible for the majority of fun anyone is going to have at your celebration. As a commercial DJ and Singer/Songwriter/Guitarist with over 20 years of experience, I have cultivated a unique approach to wedding and event entertainment services by incorporating live instrumentation as I DJ. This extremely niche DJ /Acoustic Hybrid style has helped my band Owls & Lions and me to gain local and national attention as leading event and Wedding DJ entertainers, particularly in New Jersey and New York. We have been rated as the top wedding band and DJ services in New Jersey from 2011-2024!

Because of the success of Owls & Lions and our unique DJ/Band Hybrid teams, my team and I have been able to build a division within Spinners that focuses on cultivating unique musical talent and then customizing dynamic entertainment packages that suit the needs and desires of clients that tend to crave the extraordinary.

We believe that making it personal is the key to making it a special and memorable experience.

Absolutely Amazing!

Owls & Lions was the best entertainment we could’ve ever chosen! We did the hybrid mix of live band and DJ, and it was absolutely perfect — the dance floor was packed the entire night. I’ve truly never been to a wedding where every single person was dancing! Our guests are still raving about how it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to. The vibes were unreal, and Owls & Lions brought so much energy and fun from start to finish.

Owls and Lions are the best

We cannot rave about Spinners (Owls and Lions) more. From the beginning, with soft acoustic music while the guests were arriving. To me walking out to a toned-down version of shipping up to Boston (awesome), and my wife walking out to Nicole playing Cannon in D on the violin. Transitioning to cocktail hour with Jay and Nicole playing upbeat acoustic and finding the perfect music for the mood. And finally, Jay turning it up and being the best DJ ever for the reception. They were the absolute best from first song to the last, we picked Irish goodbyes (an Owls and Lions original). We have guests of the wedding now turned onto their music, and we will all be going out to see them live again and again.

Highly recommend DJ Lou!

We wanted a DJ that would keep the vibes high energy from start to finish and DJ Lou more than delivered! The music was incredible - he played the perfect mix of songs from every era based on our suggestions while also playing our "must haves." Lou was so much fun and such a talented DJ - the dance floor was FULL from the minute we entered the reception until the very end. Highly recommend!

The Beverlee’s

Working with Jay, he set us up with The Beverlee’s and we couldn’t have been happier with the outcome. Molly and her bandmates/DJ were a HUGE hit as all our guests raved about them during and the days after the reception. They learned our first dance song and nailed it. Everyone was on the dance floor from the first song to the last. Annie and I highly recommend them - you will not be disappointed!!

Fantastic! The Best of the Best for weddings !

Jay and the team at Spinners were just incredible! Highly communicative and understanding - from the ceremony through to the reception everything was perfect!

The Owls and Lions treatment for our cocktail hour and ceremony was such an amazing touch, that left our guests wowed! Just the coziest, classiest vibe!

The music for the reception was perfect, they hit it out of the park! Several of our 180 guests came up to us and said it was the best wedding music they’d ever heard, with many not wanting it to end !

Book your wedding or celebration with Spinners now you will not regret it!!

Professional, Organized, Kind, and SO MUCH FUN!

Our DJ Lou was great to work with. He took our requests and put together a spectacular set for our wedding cocktail hour and reception. People were dancing even before we’d finished dinner! Couldn’t recommend Spinners enough.

Just the Best!

Jay Della Valle and his partner Nicole have so many rave reviews for their acoustic music as Owls & Lions, and DJ work as Spinners Entertainment, that they hardly need one more, but we enjoyed them so much, we couldn’t not post our biggest thanks. From the moment they appeared at our daughter’s wedding (with Nicole immediately reminding everyone of the best of Daisy Jones), they were gracious, cheerful, accommodating, patient, and brilliant musicians. It is no mistake that everyone loves these guys, and we enjoyed their work so much, we’re trying to come up with another event idea to have them back. We could go on and on, but since so many others have given this team five stars, we’ll simply say we can’t imagine having found anyone anywhere who would have been a better fit for our day. Just the best!

Owls and Lions made the day!

From ceremony to the last song of the night, we couldn't have asked for a better soundtrack for the day! Everyone raved about how much fun they had at our reception and the dance floor was full beginning to end! So much fun! Hire them!

So much gratitude

I have nothing but amazing things to say about Jay and Spinners Entertainment! Getting married is a beautiful but extremely stressful process, however working with Jay made things not only easy but wonderful! Jay was recommended by my friend who got married and after having Jay at my own wedding I would undoubtedly recommend him to anyone! From our first conversation and he was kind, accommodating, down to earth and extremely knowledgeable. Owls and Lions offers a truly unique and special wedding entertainment experience that I feel so grateful to have had on my Wedding day! The music selection was great, the acoustics and volume were perfect, and Jay got everyone on their feet. We all had a blast! Thank you Jay you rock!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
