9/27/25 bride here. We first reached out to Jeremy with FM Productions because we saw that he not only offered DJ/MC services, but live musicians, as well. We loved the idea of live music for our ceremony/cocktail hour and a DJ for reception- and you couldn’t beat the price for both services! After our initial consultation with Jeremy, we were sold. As mentioned in other reviews, he never tried to upsell us on any other products or services, which is so uncommon these days. We opted to go with a live pianist (keyboard) Stephanie for our ceremony, classical guitarist Alex for our cocktail hour and we were provided two DJ’s Joe and Will for our reception. Communication was fantastic throughout the process, which is so appreciated when you’re a stressed out bride going in a million different directions. We were told that our DJ’s would reach out about 3 weeks before the wedding to go through all the details; while we weren’t able to connect until a week before the wedding, Joe covered everything you could think of in our 1 hour phone call. At one point, he asked if there was an outdoor power source for our ceremony, which, there wasn’t and we had totally overlooked that detail. Joe reassured us that he would connect with the venue directly and that FM productions frequently provides their own backup portable power source, which they did for our wedding day. It was so helpful knowing that it wasn’t something we needed to stress over in the week leading up to our big day. Stephanie also connected with us directly via email several weeks before the wedding to ensure she had all the correct information for the ceremony music. We sent over some specific instrumental versions for the songs we wanted, one of which she wasn’t able to pull sheet music for, so she had to create her own close version of the song. This song was incredibly important to me as I was walking down the aisle to it, and the rendition she played was such a close replication that it blew me away. It was everything we had hoped it would be. Although we were taking pictures during our cocktail hour and weren’t able to be present, we received several compliments for Alex’s guitar playing. Having live music was such a personal touch for us as my husband also plays the guitar. It meant so much for us to be able to incorporate it into our day! Will and Joe were absolutely a crowd favorite during the reception. So many of our guests complimented the music selection. My husband and I aren’t much of dancers, but frequently found ourselves on the dance floor. We even had our 90 year old grandmother dancing! During the course of the night, Joe (who was also our MC for the night) checked in with us on several occasions to make sure everything was going as planned and to ask if we needed anything from him. If we were in the middle of a conversation, he patiently waited until we were finished, allowing us to be fully present in that moment with our guests. It was such a simple but gracious gesture that meant a lot to us. At one point, a guest requested a song on our do not play list, so Joe sought us out to ask if we wanted to allow the song or keep it on our do not play (we honored it)! We are so happy with our decision to use FM Productions for our wedding day. Thank you Jeremy and team for being a part of it!

We had an outdoor tented wedding of 100ish people.  DJ Frank was a dream to work with, and a highlight of the wedding. In the planning process, he (and the rest of Powerstation) communicated everything they needed from us, and associated timeline, perfectly clearly. That made it very easy to check the DJ tasks off our list whenever the time came.  For admin stuff, I mostly interacted with Alex at Powerstation, and he was incredibly responsive, which was appreciated. About a month prior to the wedding, Frank had a pre-call with us to go over planning and logistics for the ceremony and reception.  We were incredibly impressed by how Frank handled this pre-wedding call - organized, professional, and intentional. He directed the call and made sure every question was geared toward what we needed and/or what he needed to make things go smoothly, and what the day of would look like. It was time well spent. As for the day itself, Frank followed through on every single thing we discussed, which was a source of enormous comfort. In the pre-call, he previewed that throughout the ceremony/reception, he would do X, Y, and Z (e.g., hook us up with the mics pre-ceremony, check in about the volume during the dinner, make announcements, etc.)  He did every single thing he said he would do, and everything we asked him to do, when he said he would do it, with no fuss. It was seamless, which is everything you could possibly want. Cherry on top - DJ Frank absolutely killed it with the music. We gave a playlist for cocktail hour/dinner, but gave him just a loose idea of music for the dance portion, saying our sole priority was that we wanted to get people dancing. He hit it out of the park. The timing and choices were perfect, we appreciated his flexibility to take requests, and the dance floor was full the entire night so far as we could see. We've gotten so many compliments on this aspect of our wedding, and we both consider it one of the top top best parts of the day. We cannot recommend DJ Frank enough.

Scott was great! So easy to work with and extremely professional. Everyone had a great time!

This was one of the best decisions we made for our entire wedding — Gary and his crew were absolutely AMAZING! We truly can’t recommend him enough. From setting up an incredible photo booth that everyone loved, to getting every guest involved and out on the dance floor, they went above and beyond. The energy, professionalism, and fun they brought made the night unforgettable. MNE Events is the only DJ you need to look for when planning your wedding — we can’t say that enough!

We are so happy we found the Collins Entertainment team for our wedding day! DJ Charlie was an awesome teammate in our planning process and made us feel at ease from start to finish on the big day. From the initial coordination with Mitch, to emailing back and forth with Mitch, the owner Jim, and Charlie to address our questions, to the respect for our song requests and capturing our overall theme, we were really pleased throughout. We appreciated the event planning platform, which forced us to think through all of the questions that a DJ, the Master of Ceremonies, really needs to know to make an event successful. The Collins team also sends periodic wedding countdown reminder e-mails that are extremely helpful and ensured that we were doing the right things at the right time. We only had two minor complaints. First, we were unhappy that one profane rap song made it into the dancing portion of the night - which in fairness may have been requested by one of our family members - but it really threw off the vibe for us for a couple of minutes (especially because we had a lot of family and older guests in attendance). Not sure if others noticed it as much, as the dancing continued regardless. Second, the website platform is a little unintuitive, and could probably use an update in the next few years: the site is also not integrated with any music platform (like Spotify or YouTube), which made it a little cumbersome to toggle between browser windows. Our ceremony was extremely important to us, and we were nervous about it because it was outdoors and we weren’t entirely sure how the acoustics and electrical setup would work at the venue. Charlie made sure that the prelude and processional music and ceremony audio were perfectly timed, at the right volume, and that the microphone and other equipment were functional without interruption. While it’s probably an industry standard, we still truly appreciated that Charlie matched our dress code for the wedding, and looked super sharp in his suit despite the August weather and the air conditioning failing in the reception area just before the wedding! Charlie captured our requested music themes for the cocktail hour and throughout the reception, made the right introductions and announcements throughout. He did a fantastic job of reading the room and keeping things moving, and provided the exact level of interaction and number of announcements that we were hoping for. It all felt very natural. People danced throughout, despite it being hot in the building, and Charlie kept everybody moving and built off our requested playlist very well. We were also so glad we chose the uplighting option - it made the reception area look so much better as the evening progressed, and we couldn’t imagine the space without that detail. We were really going for a classy, timeless wedding day, and Charlie and the Collins Entertainment team did a phenomenal job of making that a reality. They paid attention to the details, were extremely professional yet relatable, and demonstrated skill in their craft. We’ve been to so many weddings and the choice of a DJ can really make or break the day. If we had to do it all over again, we would choose Collins Entertainment for our wedding every time, and we strongly recommend their services to anyone planning a wedding or event!

Ronnie was the absolute prefect DJ. With just the few sample playlists we gave him he was able to match the vibe of the evening we were going for perfectly. He operates with the upmost professionalism and made sure our special day went smoothly. The photo booth was perfect as well! We'd highly recommend Musically Yours to anyone looking for a DJ at their special event!

Lights Camera DJs was outstanding to work with. Highly organized, professional, and responsive throughout the entire process. Pricing was competitive and fair. To top it off - DJ Frankie was a highlight of our wedding! He had people on the dance floor the entire night and all of our guests raved about him. We couldn’t recommend Lights Camera DJs more!!!

We reached out to DJ Marty after seeing the rave reviews. Although he was not available for our date, he connected us with DJ Donny. We could not be happier with how the event turned out. From the tasteful up-lighting, to the smooth transitions between events, Donny proved to be an absolute professional and was quick to adapt. He was energetic, a great speaker, and was able to keep the crowd engaged and excited through the entire night. To say our dance floor was popping is an understatement. The one thing we appreciated the most was that although we had a schedule of events, Donny and the day of coordinator were able to gently nudge us towards each event without us feeling pressured or rushed. On top of all of that, the mirror photobooth was a guest favorite. We had tons of fun joining guests in the photos as well as looking back at the scrap book that was put together at the very end. Thanks for a wonderful night to remember!

We are so glad that we chose DJ Elio to DJ our wedding! From the first phone call with him, we knew he was the perfect fit for us. Our wedding was small, but we wanted a packed little dance floor. DJ Elio delivered with bangers ALLLLLL night. Even Grandma was out there (she said she danced more at our wedding than at her own)! We're so grateful for all of the clear communication leading up to our wedding. Being able to iron out all of the details with him and give him a feel for our musical style made for a seamless wedding day. He really had such a calming presence when it came to planning, but absolutely brought the house down on the night of the wedding. Thank you, Elio, for traveling to our Rhode Island wedding and for being so wonderful! We highly recommend booking!!

DJ Scotty was a pleasure to work with and have at my wedding, he was very efficient, professional and very pleasant demeanor, he. helped organize my songs for the wedding, he let me know what was up to date on the Dj land as far as wedding songs very pleased with his service, I highly recommend him for any occasion :-)
