Best dj company ever
Words can't explain how lucky we were to have Total Events run DJ on our event! Jay is an absolute pleasure to work with and the communication is superb. Jay always comes with enthusiasm and caters to the specific event you're trying to have. He works with you on every detail and provides amazing suggestions to enhance your event based on his experience in the industry. We had to change our venue due to Covid and he was quick to accommodate with complete understanding and flexibility. Matt, our DJ the day of the event, was also a pleasure to work with. He followed the schedule and even reminded us of what it was! From the ceremony music to the wedding party entrance, to the first dance, dancefloor and everything under the sun, he was there to keep the party alive and having the best time. We could not have pulled off our event without Jay and Matt. The execution was flawless and we absolutely recommend hiring Total Events as your DJ for ANY event you might be considering. This company is experienced, professional, personable and made us feel like family. BOOK TOTAL EVENTS CT!!!!

Brittany and Alex, you're making us BLUSH lol. It was such a great experience working with you both. From long distance, or face to face (not this year) it was a pleasure connecting with you two and delivering your never forget moment!Jessica Muszynski · Getting married on 06/12/2021
Best DJ compay despite the chaotic times!
We absolutely loved working with Jay and his crew! We ended up booking Matt for our small backyard ceremony and everyone had nothing but great things to say about him! He was calm as a cucumber despite all the chaos of a backyard wedding and made the perfect mix of music for us. We can't wait to have them back for our larger wedding in summer of 2021!

Great time, all around!
Jay and Derek were super easy to work with! They were extremely flexible as we changed plans due to COVID-19 restrictions.

Jay sold us with his down-to-earth demeanor the first time we spoke to him. Derek really rolled with the punches the day of the wedding! He played a good range of the songs we requested and threw in some great choices based on our taste!
