Giff and Susan's wedding

We had a marvelous experience working with Mike and Mike at Top Hat in planning our wedding event. These guys at Top Hat are first class, and very entertaining! They very professional and responsive to our specific requests. Wedding was eld at The Essex Resort And Spa, which they have a great working relationship with, and is perfect with full services. Mike was willing to help me with the Spotify music playlist and made it work, supporting me with my own custom selections I sent. It was used in the ceremony for our specific goals. We had a happy marriage ceremony and fun reception, lively dancing, and memorable music for our time period (60s and 70s). We highly recommend Top Hat Entertainment for anyone wanting a Vermont personalized music mix in a fun venue. They responded immediately to our requests always. It was our moment to be with 90 friends and family with a non traditional wedding. We were very pleased with the outcome. Make them a first on your list of DJs to us on a first class wedding event. Thank you to everyone!

Our wedding rocked with Mike Czarse from Top Hat! He took the Spotify playlist that I put together, and mixed the songs so it created the mood of love and true companionship. The guests got into the spirit of two 70 year somethings joining in marriage for the second time. Every moment was filled with the right tunes that we had chosen. Mike went the extra mile for us. Golden music and keeping the floor rocking with dancing! Getting married in Vermont, go to Top Hat first.

Excellent timing, sound, mixing a Spotify playlist that we provided. Wedding in Vermont go to Top Hat first!

Kept our dance floor packed all night long!

If you want a packed dance floor and zero stress, hire Mike from Top Hat Entertainment! He absolutely nailed the music and energy for our wedding. As an MC, he kept the night running smoothly without ever being overbearing. Mike was incredibly receptive and enthusiastic to our wants and needs, going as far as helping us pull off an amazingly unique surprise by playing the Kentucky Derby live during our reception! From the ceremony to the reception, he took our loose vibe preferences for the whole evening and curated playlists that fit every single moment perfectly. He effortlessly transitioned from the beautiful, crisp audio of our ceremony to a sophisticated, upbeat playlist for cocktail hour, dinner and dancing, that all of our guests enjoyed, proving his incredible ability to master the vibe for the entire day. Our guests are still talking about the Derby, the music, and what an incredible party it was.

The value Top Hat added to our wedding experience far exceeded the cost that we paid. We even took advantage of some of their additional perks, like the enhanced DJ booth facade and the Magic Mirror Photo Booth, which elevated the look of our reception hall and increased the fond memories we captured from that day. Thank you, Mike!

Absolutely phenomenal DJ!

We had a wonderful time working with Top Hat! We found them via a referral from our venue and right from the get-go Mike (the owner) was friendly and communicative. He actually ended up being our DJ on the day-of and he was fantastic!! Mike clearly knows what he’s doing and had everyone dancing all night long (and multiple guests have said our DJ was awesome!). We also chose to do a photobooth with them and Christy was lovely, making the photo experience so fun and seamless. If you need a DJ and/or a photobooth - look no further.

Top Hat Entertainment for the WIN

Hands down the best DJ for a fun-filled night and a jam-packed dance floor! We used Top Hat Entertainment for our wedding in Vermont and cannot recommend them enough. They were incredibly organized, really listened to our wants and needs, and were an absolute blast to work with.

Mark, our DJ for the night, was funny, professional, and perfectly on point with our music choices. He kept the energy high all night long.

We also took advantage of their photo mirror service as a gift for our guests, and it was a huge hit! Everyone loved the interactive mirror, and it created amazing memories—not just for our guests, but for us too. We received digital copies of all the photos, which was such a fun keepsake.

If you want a stress-free experience and an unforgettable party, Top Hat Entertainment is the way to go.

Awesome DJ & Sound!

We had an amazing experience using Top Hat Entertainment for our ceremony and reception at our wedding at the Old Lantern Barn in November 2025! Top Hat gave us a great price for our event and they were very responsive and helpful during our communications throughout the planning process. They helped me create an awesome mashup song for my father-daughter dance that was a crowd pleaser! We met with our DJ before the wedding over Zoom to check in about the schedule for the day, the songs for the ceremony, and the overall musical vibe for the night. DJ Rob absolutely delivered and we had such a great time dancing with our guests to music we loved all night long. We highly recommend using Top Hat Entertainment for your wedding!

Amazing night!

From the start, working with Top Hat for our wedding was absolutely seamless! We received their information from our venue's preferred vendor list and they did not disappoint by any means! Our entire process was easy and enjoyable, from our first initial calls to feel out the vibe that wanted all the way down to the week of the wedding when the last few details were falling into place, Top Hat was communicative, professional, and trustworthy. Tyler DJ'd our wedding and the dance floor was filled the entire night! He did a great job mixing up genres, decades, and felt the crowd out as the night went on. Our guests are still raving about how much fun they had! Thank you so much for being a part of our special day!!

Best Wedding DJ!

Everyone we worked with at Top Hat Entertainment was so friendly and helpful. DJ Tyler was absolutely incredible! He was great during our pre-wedding call and made sure to build a playlist that fit our vibe. And he outdid himself. Our dance floor was full the entire night. Our guests could not stop raving about our DJ and music. Top Hat Entertainment is the way to go if you're looking to dance all night!

Grateful for Top Hat

Hiring Top Hat legitimately made our wedding. They took the time to figure out our taste in music, and match us with the right DJ. And man, DJ Robbie was electric. He did our reception and after party and just brought it. The dance floor was packed all night, he was super professional with timing, organization, and helping things flow. Couldn't be happier with our decision to work with Top Hat and we'd highly recommend them to anyone else.
