Our Wedding was Perfect because of Jared
We just got married end of May and we absolutely LOVED our DJ, Jared. I was diagnosed with a serious medical condition 3 weeks before our wedding, and we set up time with Jared to go over a bunch of changes surrounding that. He was eager to help, made suggestions and gave us a lot of assurance for our event.
The day of our wedding, Jared was communicative, SO nice, and easy to work with making decisions on the fly. He played every song we requested and read the room perfectly. When it was time to relax during dinner, to dancing on the dancefloor he did an awesome job. Every person in that venue got on the floor at least twice - even some I didn't expect lol!
Later that evening and all through this week we've gotten compliments on how wonderful our wedding was, and everyone mentioned the DJ. Bryan and I would HIGHLY recommend Collins Entertainment, especially Jared to handle their wedding. You won't be disappointed!Collins Entertainment's reply:
Jacqueline, thank you so much for this incredibly meaningful review.
When I read your comments, what stood out most was not the packed dance floor or the compliments from your guests, although we’re certainly thrilled to hear those too. It was hearing how Jared was able to help provide reassurance and support during such a stressful and unexpected time leading up to your wedding.
Life doesn’t always cooperate with wedding plans, and when challenges arise, our goal is to help couples feel cared for, supported, and confident that their celebration can still be everything they’ve dreamed of. I’m so glad Jared was able to be a resource for you, help navigate the changes, and give you peace of mind throughout the process.
I’ll be sure to share your kind words with him. Jared has a remarkable ability to stay calm, adapt when needed, and create an atmosphere where couples can focus on enjoying their day. Hearing that your guests are still talking about the wedding and specifically mentioning the DJ is one of the highest compliments we can receive.
Thank you for trusting Collins Entertainment with such an important day. It was an honor to be part of your celebration, and we wish you and Bryan all the best as you begin this next chapter together. -

August 2025 Wedding
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!Collins Entertainment's reply:
Lauren, thank you for taking the time to write such a thoughtful and detailed review. Reading through it reminded me of how much care and attention went into planning your wedding day, and it means a lot to hear that you felt supported throughout the process.
What stood out to me most was your description of wanting a classy, timeless celebration. Every couple has a unique vision, and our goal is always to help bring that vision to life while making the planning process as smooth and enjoyable as possible. I'm thrilled to hear that Charlie was able to capture the atmosphere you were hoping for, from the ceremony and cocktail hour to the reception and uplighting.
I also appreciate your honest feedback regarding the website platform and the song that briefly disrupted the vibe you were hoping to maintain. We are always looking for ways to improve, and thoughtful feedback like yours helps us continue refining the experience we provide for future couples.
I'll be sure to share your kind words with Charlie and Mitch. The fact that you would choose Collins Entertainment all over again is one of the greatest compliments we could receive. Thank you for trusting us with such an important day and for allowing us to be part of a celebration that was so meaningful to you and your families. We wish you all the best in the years ahead!

Collins Entertainment will have your dance floor packed all night!
Collins Entertainment is fantastic to work with from the planning process all the way through to wedding day! Their quick responsiveness to emails always made us feel prioritized and confident in our decision to choose them. We had DJ Charlie for our wedding and absolutely loved working with him! He paid attention to every detail, listened to our requests and kept the dance floor packed lthe entire night!! We even had the fire alarm go off at our venue which led to a 30- minute extension of the reception and he stayed without any hesitation which we appreciate so much! We definitely recommend using Collins for your next event!Collins Entertainment's reply:
Maddie, thank you so much for your kind words and recommendation! I'm thrilled to hear that you had such a positive experience from the planning process all the way through your wedding day.
What stood out most to me was your mention of the unexpected fire alarm. No couple plans for something like that, and those moments are often where professionalism and flexibility matter most. I'm so glad Charlie was able to adapt, stay calm, and keep the celebration moving once everything was back on track. That's exactly the type of support we want every couple to feel on their wedding day.
I'll be sure to share your comments with Charlie. He takes great pride in paying attention to the details, honoring each couple's requests, and creating an atmosphere that keeps guests engaged all night long.
Thank you for trusting Collins Entertainment with such an important day. We were honored to be part of your celebration and wish you all the best in the years ahead!

DJ Charlie is the best!!
Just had my wedding this past Saturday 9/13/25. We had DJ Charlie and he is AMAZING! Very communicative, helpful and super nice!! If I ever have events in the future that I need a DJ for I will definitely be requesting Charlie. Thank you!!!Collins Entertainment's reply:
Kelsey, thank you so much for the wonderful review! One of the greatest compliments a DJ can receive is hearing that you'd want to work with them again for future events, and I know Charlie will be thrilled to hear that.
We're so glad that Charlie helped make your wedding day special and that you found him communicative, helpful, and easy to work with throughout the process. Building strong relationships with our couples is something we value just as much as creating a great party.
Thank you for trusting Collins Entertainment with your wedding celebration. We truly appreciate your kind words and wish you all the best in this exciting new chapter!

Dance Floor was Packed!!
Collins Entertainment exceeded our expectations! Having an energetic and packed dance floor was a priority for me going into wedding planning, and Jared did not disappoint. We also added the live sax player, which was a huge hit with everyone. 10/10 would recommend!Collins Entertainment's reply:
Sam, thank you so much for the fantastic review! I love that you went into the planning process knowing exactly what you wanted, an energetic celebration with a packed dance floor. Hearing that Jared delivered on that vision means a lot to us.
I'm also thrilled that you chose to add the live saxophone experience. The combination of a great DJ and a talented live musician creates a unique energy that guests don't always expect, and it's always fun to see how much excitement it brings to the dance floor. I'm glad it was such a hit with everyone in attendance.
I'll be sure to share your kind words with Jared. Thank you for trusting Collins Entertainment with such an important day and for allowing us to be part of your celebration. We truly appreciate the 10/10 recommendation and wish you all the best in the years ahead!

An incredible NYE Wedding!
We had an incredible experience at our NYE wedding with Collins Entertainment and DJ Charlie. Charlie was very communicative in the lead up to our wedding and was very thorough in helping us throughout the wedding planning process. Their online platform is great for adding information. Our guests all said they had an incredibly fun time - our dance floor was packed all night and Charlie led us in the countdown to ring in the new year! We also HIGHLY recommend the saxophonist - he was absolutely incredible, all our guests loved him, he did a phenomenal job and was such a nice surprise for our guests! He helped keep a lively atmosphere all night and was so good! Would definitely recommendCollins Entertainment's reply:
Alyssa, thank you so much for this wonderful review! There is something truly special about a New Year's Eve wedding, and we were honored to help celebrate not only your wedding day, but also the start of a brand new year.
I'll be sure to share your kind words with Charlie. He puts a tremendous amount of effort into helping couples feel confident and prepared throughout the planning process, so I'm thrilled to hear that his communication and attention to detail helped make your experience a positive one from start to finish.
I'm also so glad you loved the saxophonist! The combination of live saxophone and DJ entertainment creates an incredible energy, and it's always fun to watch guests react when a live musician joins the celebration. Hearing that your guests loved the surprise and that the dance floor stayed packed all night is exactly what we hope for.
Thank you for trusting Collins Entertainment with such an unforgettable occasion. Leading the countdown into the New Year with your family and friends was an honor, and we wish you many years of happiness together!

So glad I booked!
Very happy with Collins Entertainment! They were professional the entire process and Maurice was very interactive on the wedding day. The dance floor was always filled and guests commented on how good the music was. Our requests and special songs were played and our specific requests were listened too. Maurice made sure to check in on us throughout the night as well, not just about the music but how we were doing in general which I thought was a nice touch! I was excited about booking Collins after seeing all the great reviews and my expectations were met!Collins Entertainment's reply:
Lily, thank you so much for your thoughtful review! One of my favorite parts was reading that you chose Collins Entertainment after seeing our reviews and that your experience lived up to your expectations. That's something we never take for granted.
I'll be sure to share your kind words with Maurice. What stood out most to me was your comment about him checking in on you throughout the night, not just about the music, but about how you were doing personally. We believe that great wedding entertainment is about more than keeping the dance floor full. It's about making sure our couples feel supported, cared for, and able to enjoy every moment of their celebration.
I'm thrilled to hear that your special requests were honored, your guests loved the music, and the dance floor stayed full all night long. Thank you for trusting Collins Entertainment with such an important day. We truly appreciate your recommendation and wish you many years of happiness together!

Great tunes, great night
DJ Jared provided much more than the soundtrack to our wedding. He arrived early to ensure the sound for our ceremony - including mics for our officiant and readers. For cocktail hour, he played the perfect mix of classic and contemporary music and was a great emcee for speeches throughout dinner. Once the dance floor opened, he incorporated our must-play songs with some of his own selections, as well as requests from our guests. It all added up to a great night with great energy.Collins Entertainment's reply:
Mikala, thank you for such a thoughtful review! I loved your opening line because it perfectly captures what we strive to provide for every couple. Great wedding entertainment is about so much more than music. It's about helping every part of the day come together seamlessly.
I'll be sure to share your kind words with Jared. From making sure your ceremony audio was crystal clear, to setting the tone during cocktail hour, to keeping the energy high on the dance floor, he takes great pride in creating an experience that flows naturally from beginning to end.
I'm especially glad to hear that he was able to blend your must-play songs, guest requests, and his own selections into a soundtrack that felt authentic to your celebration. When all those elements come together, it creates the kind of atmosphere guests remember long after the wedding is over.
Thank you for trusting Collins Entertainment with such an important day. We were honored to be part of your wedding and truly appreciate your recommendation. Wishing you all the best in the years ahead!

Dancing feet 2 days later (IN A GOOD WAY)
We booked Collins Entertainment for our wedding on 6/7/24. From the initial meeting to the night of Jim and Jared were so very helpful. Jared was constantly checking in on us to make our night go smoothly, the music was so grest we didnt leave the dance floor all night! All of our guests said the music was awesome and all our feet hurt from dancing! Jared had the dance floor packed all night.Collins Entertainment's reply:
Brittany, thank you so much for this wonderful review! I have to say, the title alone made me smile. If everyone's feet were still hurting two days later from dancing, I'd say that's a pretty good sign that the party was a success!
I'm so glad you had a great experience working with both Jared and our team throughout the planning process. One thing that stood out to me was your mention of Jared checking in throughout the night. We want our couples to feel supported from start to finish, and those small check-ins can make a big difference in helping everything run smoothly.
I'll be sure to share your kind words with Jared. Hearing that the dance floor stayed packed all night and that your guests are still talking about the music is one of the best compliments a wedding DJ can receive.
Thank you for trusting Collins Entertainment with your wedding day. We were honored to be part of your celebration and wish you both a lifetime of happiness together!

Wedding day
We are so happy we booked Collins Entertainment. From day 1 they had great support and communication.

DJ Maurice listened to our music requests and did a fantastic job mixing all the different genres we like. You can tell he loves his job and is very easy to work with. Not only our families were happy with him but the hotel staff kept saying how amazing he is. We will highly recommend them to everyone we know!Collins Entertainment's reply:

Best entertainment experience ever
We used Collins Entertainment for our wedding this past Saturday July 15th, 2023. Maurice was our DJ and he was beyond phenomenal!!! He made sure everything was moving along accordingly; he improvised when he had to cover up any mishaps due to things out of our control, and nobody even noticed. From the moment I contacted the company and spoke with owner Jim, I knew that they were going to blow me away with their services!! I can't wait to book them/Maurice again for renewal of our vows at some point, or for my daughters HS graduation!! if you're getting married, GO WITH COLLINS ENTERTAINMENT!!Collins Entertainment's reply:
Krystle, thank you so much for this amazing review! What stood out to me most was your comment about Maurice stepping in and adapting whenever unexpected situations arose throughout the day. Weddings rarely go exactly according to plan, and one of the marks of a true professional is being able to handle those moments seamlessly. The fact that everything kept moving smoothly and your guests never noticed is one of the best compliments he could receive.
I'll be sure to share your kind words with Maurice. He takes tremendous pride in keeping couples relaxed, keeping events on schedule, and creating an atmosphere where everyone can simply enjoy the celebration without worrying about what is happening behind the scenes.
I also truly appreciate your kind words about your experience from the very first conversation. Our goal is to provide outstanding service from the initial inquiry all the way through the wedding day itself.
The fact that you're already talking about a future vow renewal and your daughter's graduation means the world to us. Thank you for trusting Collins Entertainment with such an important day, and we look forward to celebrating with you again someday!

Would recommend!
Collins Entertainment was fantastic to work with for our wedding! They were very organized, detail-oriented, and committed to making sure everything ran smoothly. We appreciated being able to use their online portal to plan out our day.
DJ Houston kept everyone on the dancefloor all night with perfect music selections and went above and beyond to capture audio of speeches from the microphones so we could relive those moments.
Collins Entertainment's reply:
Courtney, thank you so much for your kind words! I'm thrilled to hear that you found the planning process organized and easy to navigate. We put a lot of thought into our planning tools because we know how many details go into creating a successful wedding day.
I'll be sure to share your comments with Houston. While keeping the dance floor packed is always exciting, what stood out most to me was your mention of the speech recordings. Those heartfelt words from family and friends are some of the most meaningful moments of a wedding day, and we're so glad you now have the ability to revisit those memories for years to come.
Thank you for trusting Collins Entertainment with such an important celebration. We truly appreciate your recommendation and were honored to be part of your wedding day. Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness together!

Working with Collins Entertainment was fantastic start to finish! Jim answered all our questions and offered several creative ideas we hadn’t considered. DJ Jared was awesome too, communicated well with us throughout the night and quick to adapt to changes in the schedule. Great at reading the room to keep the guests dancing.

Aleina, thank you so much for the wonderful review! One of the things I enjoy most is helping couples think through ideas and possibilities they may not have considered, so I'm glad our planning conversations helped make the process easier and more enjoyable.
I'll be sure to share your kind words with Jared as well. Weddings are full of moving parts, and the ability to adapt when schedules shift while still keeping the energy up on the dance floor is such an important skill.

Collins Entertainment is Excellent
Collins Entertainment is an excellent choice for your DJ'ing needs. My brother used Jim and his company for his wedding a few years ago, and we had a great experience. So when I got married a few months ago we also chose Collins Entertainment and again had a great experience. Jim and his team are very organized and professional. Our DJ Jared was excellent. Would highly reccomend. -

Best Experience
Collins entertainment and DJ Jared saved our wedding day. We had a huge crisis as our DJ bailed on us the week of our wedding. We scrambled, found Collins and got in touch with Jim, the owner, and he got a hold of Jared to perform on 3 days notice for our wedding. Every single guest raved about Jared’s performance. Jim and Jared were so professional and helpful and made our day the best day possible. We can’t thank them enough and we highly highly recommend them.

The best of the best!
We are SO happy we partnered with Collins Entertainment for our big day!! DJ Elio was easy to work with, had such a positive and energetic attitude, and really took the time to get to know us, the details of the day, and what we wanted from a dance floor. Their online planning tool was so helpful to keep everything organized, and they periodically send emails with planning to-do's to keep you on track as well which was very helpful, and I felt above and beyond! Our dance floor never had a dull moment, and it's one of the top comments we've been getting after the big day. Specifically, that the playlist was "so you!" which we absolutely loved. We were drawn to a DJ over a band because you can play such a wide variety of music, and DJ Elio did just that for us - blending songs from my husband and my childhoods, college experience, wedding classics, and current top hits. DJ Elio also kept us on track all evening (despite speeches going long as they always do!), and flawlessly transitioned from ceremony, to cocktail hour, to reception (entrances, speeches, dance floor). He nailed it, and we are so grateful. We could not recommend more!! -

Highly recommended DJ Elio
DJ Elio gave us good vibes from our very first encounter. He’s professional, knowledgeable, eager to please, and most importantly- he has great taste in music. We got married outdoors, at my parents residence. We had our ceremony across the street in an open field with no power. The sound was perfect. Music was loud and the ceremony was mic-ed appropriately. Our original plan was to have cocktail hour, un-tented, in the front yard, and a tented reception in the back yard. On our day, it began to drizzle during cocktail hour. DJ Elio didn’t skip a beat. Half of our guests remained in the front yard and the second half stood under our “welcome” tent in the backyard. He essentially DJ’d two separate cocktail hours. That level of accommodation and professionalism goes unmatched.
We met with DJ Elio months prior and then one week before our wedding day. Both meetings were productive. He has a way of making you feel comfortable and confident in his skills. Our taste in music is unique and due to that we put all of our trust in him to keep the dance floor full. He exceeded expectations. We gave him “must plays” that he creatively incorporated throughout the night. The dance floor was full the entire night. His set up was aesthetically pleasing and his lighting was awesome.
The exceptional factor about DJ Elio is that he doesn’t make a playlist. He took our taste in music and mixed that with his amazing ability to read the room.
What solidified how great DJ Elio is for me, was a conversation I had during the reception with a long term friend of mine. She said “this playlist has your name written all over it!” The truth is… we gave DJ Elio very little direction. But through our meetings, he took the time to really get to know us and our music taste and found a way to make our personalities shine through while pleasing our guests at the same time. And that is PRICELESS! -

Jim and Ryan- The Perfect Pair For Our Perfect Day!
We got married at the Wadsworth Mansion in Middletown, CT. It was the perfect venue for our October wedding. What made the whole wedding planning process so easy and truly seamless was Collins Entertainment. From our very first meeting, Jim made us feel comfortable and at ease. Anytime we had a question, even the smallest thing, Jim encouraged us to hop on a Zoom call with him. This made the years, months, and days leading up to our wedding feel important and stress free. On the day of the wedding, Jim and Ryan were outstanding. Both are extremely professional, talented, and personable. From the ceremony to the reception, they became part of the party. They felt the vibe of the celebration and played music for all. What really stood out to us was the planning done with other vendors. Jim communicated with our officiant, venue, caterer, photographers, and videographers before our wedding. I believe that is what made our special day run smoothly. Thank you Jim and Ryan for being the center of our wedding! -

Excellent, from planning to dancing!
When we first looked into hiring a DJ, we thought it was as simple as picking someone to play music and get the dance floor going. But we were impressed with how much more there was to it, and Collins Entertainment had it all covered from start to finish! There were so many details that we had not considered, like doing a "farewell dance" towards the end of the night. They also offered perspectives that we had not considered, like the benefits of doing wedding party introductions since we had not done programs. Because there is a team of DJs and they take incredible notes, it also means that there is a seamless transition in case of any emergencies. Our original DJ had a family medical emergency, but his colleague was able to step in without missing a beat (pun intended). We highly recommend!Collins Entertainment's reply:
Hi Liz & Dillon!
Thanks for trusting us with your wedding! We always have a backup DJ available for every date in the case of emergencies to ensure we can seamlessly work your event. I was able to access the planning forms and your music on the online portal, so it was a breeze for me! So glad I could DJ your wedding at The Providence Public Library in Providence, RI! - DJ Maurice -

Amazing 10/10
We cannot say enough good things about DJ Elio from Collins Entertainment. He is one of the nicest people we’ve ever met, and is a PHENOMENAL DJ.
Elio took the time to meet with us before our wedding to go over every single detail of the day, and help get a sense of what music we enjoyed.
During the wedding, he always made sure we were happy, and truly enjoying ourselves. He played THE BEST music throughout the night, and could really read the room!!
Everyone at our wedding was giving him endless compliments, and didn’t want the night to end.
If you really want your wedding or any other event to be special, look no further than Collins Entertainment. -

Amazing experience with most entertaining DJ
I got married on September 18, 2021. My fiance and I did research for DJ's in the Enfield, CT area. I came across Collins Entertainment. Jim was so helpful and communicated extremely fast. Jim answered all of my questions and set us up with DJ Elio. DJ Elio was such a pleasure to work with. My fiance and I met via zoom with Elio and went over what we wanted our wedding to look and sound like. DJ Elio was extremely helpful and offered professional advice on certain music. On the day of the wedding, DJ Elio helped make our wedding day as perfect as could be. He made sure to play all of our "must-play songs" and to pump up the entire crowd. So many people got up and danced at our wedding. DJ Elio was very personable and it was evident he truly cared about us having a great day. Collins Entertainment was very reasonably priced and I highly recommend this business for anyone looking to have an amazing DJ experience! -

Fantastic Experience with Collins Entertainment
Jim and the rest of the team at Collins Entertainment are fantastic to work with. They made sure our ceremony and reception went off without a hitch, and they keep a regular pre-planning schedule with you leading up to the wedding, which made organizing everything a breeze. If we had any questions in between meetings, Jim was very quick to follow up with us via email or phone call.
Most importantly, everyone we spoke to at Collins Entertainment expressed genuine interest in making our wedding day perfect. Thank you!Collins Entertainment's reply:
Thanks for your kind words Steven & Angie! We loved working your wedding at the Pavilion on Crystal Lake in Middletown, CT! There were so many awesome moments and your first dance to Neil Young's "Harvest Moon" was beautiful!

the BEST DJ ever!!!!!!!
We got married on June, 12th and I can't express how much we loved working with Collins Entertainment and DJ Maurice. From the start DJ Maurice was so personable and helped us throughout the process, which was tougher because of Covid and original guest restrictions. I would pick DJ Maurice a hundred times over if I had to do it again we LOVED him!! He really made our wedding unforgettable and we honestly had 30 guests tell us how much they loved him.Collins Entertainment's reply:
Jillian & Austin!
I had such a blast DJing your wedding at Bill Miller’s Castle! From your first dance “Iris” by Kina Grannis, the AWESOME and fun moment for your mother/daughter dance, where you danced to “Don’t Stop Believing”, those are moments that no one will forget! So glad to be a part of your wedding and it was such an honor! That was some amazing party!!!!

Created the Most Perfect Day
We first met with Jim in September of 2020 for our 2021 wedding. He was wonderful and super responsive to any of our needs and we both quickly realized that Collins Entertainment was the DJ for us! We ended up working with Elio as our DJ and he was amazing! Super helpful and truly made our wedding day the most fun possible. Everyone at our wedding raved about how amazing our DJ was and how much fun the entire celebration was! Thank you so much Elio and Jim for making my wedding the most perfect day ever!Collins Entertainment's reply:
Thank you so much Meghan and Wade for allowing me to be a part of you special day at Misselwood! Your wedding was one of the best nights I’ve ever had and I could see your guests were really enjoying themselves. I think the dance floor was packed for almost all of the night!! It was so great partnering with you!!

Highly, highly recommend!
Jim has been FANTASTIC to work with! From the very beginning he was attentive, accommodating and truly listening to what our vision for our wedding was! During such a crazy time to plan our wedding, Jim was a source of calm! He was extremely knowledgeable about music and offered great suggestions! Jim also was helpful in guiding the overall process providing details on what we should be aware of as we got closer to our big day! Jim was our master of ceremonies/DJ and our wedding and reception venue was the New Haven Country Club. My husband and I can't say enough about how great Jim was and we would 100% recommend him!Collins Entertainment's reply:

Must have dj!
What a wedding we had!! Thank you so much Maurice for being the best possible DJ we could have ever imagined. Maurice was there for us every step of the way and was always just a text or phone call away. On the wedding night, he kept checking in to make sure we were happy and that things were going well, which they were! He played all our favorite music and entertained our guests. He handled all of our last-minute changes with ease. If you need an amazing, energetic, talented, and professional DJ pick, Maurice!! We highly recommend him as well as Jim the owner!! You cannot go wrong with Collin's Entertainment!! They provide an exceptional level of service with great value.Collins Entertainment's reply:

Amazing DJ - flexible, responsive, helpful, and friendly
We booked Jim to DJ our wedding. Throughout the process, he was warm, responsive, flexible, and helpful.
When we first booked him, we had a phone consultation to talk through his different options and pricing, to find the package that would work best for us and our venue. We had several email exchanges to ask follow-up questions, and he always responded quickly and helpfully. We were scheduled at the Pond House in West Hartford, and ended up settling on Jim DJing and emceeing our ceremony and reception. We were impressed with the variety of packages offered, including lighting options and photo booths. However, for our small brunch ceremony, we only wanted DJ/emcee, and Jim was able to accommodate us.
Due to Covid, we had to change our wedding date. Jim was flexible on dates, sympathetic to our situation, and agreed to hold the new date for us instead. We hope that everything goes according to plan, so we are able to work with Jim in the future. It's been great so far.Collins Entertainment's reply:
Thanks so much Zoe & Heather! It's has been a pleasure getting to know you both and learn about your wedding vision! -

DJ Elio is Awesome - November 2020 Wedding
We are so happy we went with Collins! We originally scheduled our wedding with Jim but then had to switch to Elio a few weeks before our wedding due to scheduling issues. Our wedding was at the Lake House in Wolcott, CT.
Elio picked up right where Jim left off and came through for us as the DJ/MC for our wedding reception. After our first conversation with Elio we felt more at ease about our whole wedding in general (planning a wedding during a pandemic is not easy to begin with but Elio was ready to go!!).
Elio didn't miss a beat the whole night! We gave him free reign to read the room and play what was getting people on the dance floor. He nailed it. He played various genres and party songs and then pivoted to requests whenever we needed him to! Couldn't be happier!
Guests had a great time and despite the smaller size party than we originally expected due to the pandemic, we had an amazing wedding!
We would highly recommend Collins Entertainment and HIGHLY recommend Elio as a DJ.

Fantastic Wedding!
We had our wedding in September 2020 with DJ Elio - we just had the best day and so did our guests! DJ Elio was game for whatever we asked, and he NAILED the timing for my processional, which was really important to us. He also encouraged (socially distant) dancing even in the crazy times and our guests were so happy with that. Highly recommend Collins Entertainment and DJ Elio!Collins Entertainment's reply:
Katrina and Andre - Thanks so much for choosing us for your awesome wedding at The Farmington Club in Farmington, CT! I can't imagine how stressful it was planning your wedding during a pandemic. I'm really happy that you were able to still celebrate with your family and friends. It was a pleasure getting to know you both! - DJ Elio -

DJ Kevin Barnett
My husband and I hired Kevin Barnett through Collins Entertainment to DJ our wedding. Kevin met with me prior to the wedding and took detailed notes on my bridal party, what songs I wanted played, requests from my guests, and what songs I definitely didn't want played . Who knew there was a specific song for cake cutting? I didn't. We remained in contact in the weeks leading up to my wedding about finalizing things so I wouldn't have to worry about anything the day of. Kevin took the time to go over every little detail of our reception and what would be played during cocktail hour, dinner, and songs we wanted played for dancing. Kevin went above and beyond our expectations. He cultivated such a fun and exciting night, while keeping it very professional as he MCed through the events of our reception. He even helped us organize a group picture of everyone at our reception by calling them onto the dance floor. We got an awesome picture and it was a great way to get everyone dancing. Kevin even came up to me at the reception to ask if there were any other songs that i wanted to hear. Whatever I told him I wanted to hear he would play it next. Loved hearing all my favorite songs surrounded by all the people I love. My guests have told me that our wedding was one of the best weddings they've attended, and I believe Kevin's professional DJ skills created such a fun atmosphere. Would definitely recommend him for all my friends and family members who are currently engaged. We loved having Kevin be apart of our special day. -

A great experience from start to finish
We hired Collins Entertainment to DJ/MC our wedding on September 27, 2019 after a long online search. We knew we had chosen the right company after reading numerous, positive reviews. What really sold us was our initial video chat meeting with owner Jim. It was so convenient to chat through video rather than in person. Jim really took the time to get to know us and find out what we were looking for for our wedding. We were very impressed with how organized everything was. We filled out a form that outlined our music tastes and preferences. There was also an online portal we were given access to that helped us list songs that were “must plays” or “do not plays”. There were several meetings with Jim prior to the main event which were extremely helpful and fun. Closer to the wedding date, we had the chance to video chat with our DJ/MC Mike who quickly got a sense for our music vision and made us feel even more confident in our decision. On the actual wedding day, Mike did an incredible job. The ceremony music was seamless and just what we had outlined. The reception couldn’t have run more smoothly thanks to Jim’s organization. Everything was timed just right and we did not have to worry about a thing. Mike checked in with us frequently to be sure things were going as planned. Everyone was on the dance floor all night. The music mix was perfect for all ages. We couldn’t have been happier with Collins Entertainment and would recommend them to anyone! -

Experienced DJ/emcee who played numerous roles in helping plan and execute the day. Flawless coordination!
My husband and I got married at Great River Golf Club on September 14, 2019. We had Jim be our emcee, had another booth attendant during the reception, and purchased the mirror photo booth for 3 hours during the reception. Jim played the biggest part in making our wedding so perfect. His help throughout the planning process and assistance on the wedding day went beyond our expectations. He played so many different roles and made everything seem so seamless. He and his team are professional and were able to read the crowd so well during the reception. I've never seen so many people dance on the dance floor at any wedding before. Our wedding was unforgettable, a blast, hilarious, sweet and elegant all at the same time and our friends continue to rave about how wonderful our DJ was! -

A perfect reception
We had a bit of a rough start with the company as we got close to our wedding. Jim Collins stepped up and made our event wonderful. We had his mid-level package with uplighting and the room was gorgeous. We received multiple comments on how good our emcee was and how high the energy was on the dance floor. Everyone had a great time thanks to Jim Collins. -

Collins Entertainment was amazing. Jim was professional, detail oriented, friendly and amazing the night of our wedding. He sent monthly emails as reminders, provided us with additional information for any last minute items we may have forgot, and just overall super organized. We had our wedding at Bill Miller's Castle with Jim as the Master of Ceremonies. Our guests danced all night long. They really enjoyed the photo booth as well.

We really enjoyed the day of with DJ Mike, he provided coverage during the ceremony as well as throughout the entire night. Mike was able to really read the crowd and tailor song selections. The Mirror booth was well worth it and we all enjoyed this addition to our big day! Would highly recommend working this this team, as they took care of us. -

Amazing Experience!
Collins Entertainment did a wonderful job at our wedding! Jim was an amazing master of ceremonies! He kept the party going all night long! They were also great at coordinating our ceremony as we elected to have the service at the venue, Farmington Gardens. They also did a great job of introducing the wedding party to the reception! Our guests had a blast using the photo booth as well! Jim was great at staying in touch with us and being responsive to any questions that we had. Could not recommend them enough! -

Will recommend Collins Entertainment and MC Kevin to Everyone!!
We hired Kevin from Collins Entertainment, and we couldn't be more pleased! He was so attentive and helpful on the day of, it blew us away! My husband and I had a specific vision in mind when it came to our reception - we wanted everyone dancing the entire night and enjoying themselves, with no interruptions. We had several different genres in mind during the planning meetings (salsa, dance, soul, funk) and Kevin did a great job at making that happen! Between Jim planning and Kevin Djing/MCing the wedding we had a very specific vision beforehand that they were able to execute flawlessly. We were excited to hear so many compliments from our guests about what a fun wedding it was. We recommend Kevin without a doubt. Thank you Kevin and Jim for making our wedding a night to remember. -

Best DJ ever!
Out of all my vendors (20+ people/companies) Jim Collins was by far my favorite to work with. He was professional, punctual, detail oriented, friendly, and had great communication. From the time I signed the agreement Jim sent monthly emails checking in giving tips and details to keep in mind. He has an organizer online that helps you pick out music. He planned skype meetings two separate times with us as it got closer to go over the minute by minute night. He made sure everyones names were correctly pronounced and assured that he knew everything he needed. We also used Collins Entertainment for our ceremony audio and photo booth services. I think what I hate most is going to a wedding and you can't hear anything, I stressed to Jim how important it was that everyone could hear us clearly. Every person front to back of our ceremony that I've spoken to said could hear us perfectly. We were wirelessly mic'd with high tech equipment and it went so smooth. For the photo booth, he had tons of accessories and props, people had a blast! We picked the mirror booth, it was a little more money but totally worth it. Very unique experience. Overall Jim is such a great guy, he couldn't have been more of a professional. Anyone I know who is need of DJ services I would recommend him to! -

SO SO SO happy with Collins Entertainment
We used Collins Entertainment as a DJ/MC for our ceremony and reception at Lake Pearl in Wretham, MA. Mike was our master of ceremonies and was not only incredibly professional but also just really great at meeting all of our needs and checking in with us frequently to make sure we were happy throughout the whole night. I can't say enough how happy I am with everything they did for us. The entire wedding/reception was perfect because of them but even before that, the planning process was SO SO SO easy because of Jim and his system that has in place. He is incredibly organized and professional and knows exactly what you need. -

Wonderful!
After reading the reviews I knew we would have to reach out to Jim and so happy we did! The planning process was streamlined – reminders to keep you on track of your timeline, easy to use website and planning tools, meetings to brainstorm about songs and so he gets a feel for what you want out of the night. We didn’t have a lot of dancers in the crowd, but somehow Jim kept the dance floor going all night!! The mirror booth was a hit, some of our favorite photos were captured there! We would highly recommend Collins Entertainment to anyone getting married! -

Amazing! Highly reccomend
:::Attention::: -If you are in search for an awesome DJ/Master of ceremonies for your wedding, look no further!! Collins Entertainment is the one for you!!
They did our wedding a little over a week ago and we absolutely loved them. We got comment after comment from our guests telling us how much they loved the music and entertainment we had. Jim Collins and his assistant Kevin did a great job and we can’t thank them enough for helping us create our vision! About a year in a half before our wedding date we were in search for a DJ for our wedding and then I came across “Collins Entertainment” and I just knew we had to book them! We still had a whole year and a half before the big day but I’m really good at reading people and my instincts sure were right! I am so happy that we booked them so early because not only did it secure our date, but also put us at ease. Just talking with Jim gave me confidence that our night would be awesome!
He’s not only a DJ but a master of ceremonies as well. He helped with the timeline of the wedding and gives you an internet data base to organize your vision, save songs you want played etc. It’s a great and easy to use computer system that really helped us out with all the planning! After talking first with him on the phone we set up a time to Skype so he could get to know us a little more and talk about a plan.
We then set up a time to meet at a Panara to chat in person. I loved meeting with him because while planning a wedding you have so many thoughts and ideas running through your mind, it’s good to get them all out in the open to the guy who is creating your wedding! We Skyped one more time before the day to finalize everything and go through the timeline and order of events. Jim kept in contact our entire engagement and answered any questions or concerns we had. Even though we were a year and a half out, he kept in contact and was so excited to help! His professionalism and personality was definitely something to remember.
We had so many ideas for songs and he made all those ideas that I thought were impossible, happen! Literally can’t thank them enough for the time they put into our vision.
Throughout the whole wedding he is announcing things and keeping the guests up and enjoying the night with your music selections that you picked along with his expertise. He’s very good at reading the crowd and knowing which songs to play at what time. He even came up to our sweetheart table during the night to check on us to see if he could do anything for us which was so nice! All of our other vendors loved them too and said he was great to work with.
He definitely knows his stuff since he’s done so many different weddings, I trusted him when he gave me advice on things I was questioning. He did an anniversary dance and called up couples who were married 1 year, 5 year, 10 years etc and kept calling them up and to put an even better twist on it, he used my parents wedding song and my now husband’s parents wedding song for this special idea. My mom and mother in-law definitely had a good happy cry and loved that we did that!
After telling him as a kid that I used to make up silly raps just joking around for fun he game me the bride, the confidence to rap at our wedding lol! -
He is just full of ideas and it really shows in his work that he truly loves what he does!!
Collins Entertainment is the absolute BEST, and that’s a fact.

So GREAT to work with!
Jim was referred to us by a family member and we are so thankful. He is so easy to work with, listed to everything we wanted and made the night as perfect as we could hope for. He created a beautiful room with uplighting, and was very accommodating to our various song requests throughout the evening. The photo booth was, as it always is, a huge hit. The fact that we got copies of everyone's photos is so exciting, and make for some fun thank you cards! He also gave GREAT ideas for songs, introduced us to some great artists and knew exactly what to play and when. Thank you to Jim and everyone at Collins Entertainment!Collins Entertainment's reply:

Excellent!
Our wedding day went off without a hitch thanks to Jim Collins! He was extremely accommodating and organized- put in the extra effort to make sure the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception ran smoothly. He is extremely professional and made planning our wedding stress free and easy. He had wonderful suggestions for us and made sure that the dance floor was full the entire night!! Picking our music was very easy too as he provided suggestions as well as a website to choose music from! This was a HUGE help to us. Our wedding was perfect and Jim was a huge part in making our wedding day so memorable! I highly recommend Jim Collins! Thank you so much for everything Jim!
Shannon & DannyCollins Entertainment's reply:
Danny and Shannon,
We LOVED celebrating with you!!! What a great moment when we were able to get a full dance floor of your guests to stop for a moment to sing grandma Betty a happy 101st birthday!! That is a memory she will never forget! Great seeing you both at the Jack and Jill this weekend and seeing you again! 😀 -

Perfect experience from start to finish
Jim was so warm and personable and really helped us figure out what we wanted and followed through with absolute perfection. I was very picky and wanted specific versions of songs and even wanted my intro timed to a specific part of a song and he pulled it off perfectly. He totally understood the vibe we wanted and carried that through the entire night. Everyone told me it was the most fun wedding they've ever been to. With all the stress of wedding planning it was so great not having to worry about the music because from the first conversation we had with Jim we were 100% confident in him. Very nice guy, professional, and he just gets it!Collins Entertainment's reply:
Meg and Neil!
Thanks so much for letting us be a part of such a magical day! I loved learning about how you met at the birthday party at Foxwoods and how later that led to hilltop proposal at Henry Park! Your first dance to Van Morrison’s “Crazy Love” was beautiful. All the best to you both! -

Just the best
Hiring Collins Entertainment was one of the absolute best decisions we made for the entire wedding. Our guests were happy and dancing all night long, the process could not have been easier, and Jim was very patient with us as a couple during the planning, especially when we needed to make changes to what we already planned on! So many people told us that our wedding was the best they had ever been to, and we attribute so much of that to Collins Entertainment!Collins Entertainment's reply:
Carlene and Dan!
So great getting to know you through the planning process and discuss our love for the band Queen! I love how you mentioned that you put a universal ban on The Black Eyed Peas! “Here Comes The Sun” was perfect for your processional song during the ceremony and you walked down the aisle. Jim -

We HIGHLY recommend hiring Collins Entertainment for your wedding or event!! We hired Jim to be our DJ and Master of Ceremonies for our wedding at Camp Laurelwood in Madison, CT in September 2018. Jim and his assistant also did music for our ceremony, including wireless microphones for the ceremony, and music for the cocktail hour in addition to the reception. Everything went smoothly and we got a TON of compliments regarding Jim and the music. Many people told us he was the best DJ they'd ever seen at a wedding! My fiancee and I could not believe how much forethought and planning Jim puts into the events he works. His website and planning materials are extremely useful and easy to use. Together, over multiple Skype sessions, we went over every little detail regarding our timeline for wedding day, the music, announcements, toast, etc. Jim thinks of everything! His style for making announcements and introducing special dances was exactly what we wanted and matched our wedding's style perfectly. He had a great presence while speaking to our guests and got everyone's attention, but he was not overly talkative as some MC's can be. He worked flawlessly with our Day of Coordinator to keep us on schedule. We had an absolute blast dancing and so did our guests. Jim also put together some special audio clips of my fiancee and I separately answering questions about our relationship and how we met. It was such a lovely extra touch and I will treasure those audio clips forever. Jim went above and beyond what we ever thought we would get out of hiring a DJ and MC. I would not hesitate for a second to hire Collins Entertainment for your wedding or event. He is extremely professional, thoughtful, and easy to work with. He will listen to what you want for your big day, and make it happen! 5 stars all the way!!Collins Entertainment's reply:
Jenna and James,
There were so many highlights during your wedding reception! During dinner when a group of friends/family got in a huge circle and sang “Piano Man” and the dancing before dinner! It was great to be able to Kay and Henry as the longest married couple during the Anniversary Dance! -

My now husband Brandon and I had the pleasure of working with Jim and Mike while planning out the ceremony and reception music and timeline for our recent wedding! We first met Jim via a “no-strings-attached” web chat where we got to know him as a person and learn why it is he loves what he does. During that time he really worked to get to know us both as individuals and as a couple, this alone was already more than we were expecting when we first started looking for a DJ/MC. After listening to how passionate he is about his work and reading through other reviews, we knew we just had to hire Collins Entertainment as our DJ/MC for our ceremony and reception at Tyrone Farm in Pomfret, CT this past September 22nd!! The planning process working with Jim and Mike was a breeze! Both Brandon and I knew what main songs we wanted, but really trusted them and their professional judgement to fill in the rest! A couple months before the wedding we also got to meet them in person where they made sure how to correctly pronounce everyone’s names and talk us through how everything works. The day of our wedding we were pleased to have Mike come out as our MC along with an assistant DJ. They were both very professional and fun and everyone loved them, we had a blast the whole time! They really helped to keep a good flow going the whole night and there wasn’t a moment where anyone looked as if they weren’t having a good time. Overall we are very happy that we decided to do with Collins Entertainment for our wedding and would recommend them to anyone!!Collins Entertainment's reply:
Hannah & Brandon,
We enjoyed hearing about how you met in high school and Brandon’s proposal on The Eiffel Tower! Great to hear about the start of the relationship and of course, how it led to your wedding day! Tyrone Farm was the perfect place to have your wedding reception and we were thrilled that everyone had a great time! Mike and Jim -

A DJ can make or break the party and Jim Collins kept the party going. He made sure everything went smoothly. He even helped with the planning part and thought of things for our wedding that we didn't even think of. Jim was on time and very flexible with our busy schedule. He even came up with a fun game to keep everyone on the dance floor young and old which was alot of fun. He called vendors and worked closely with everyone to make sure our day would be memorable. I will be recommending him to any of our friends and family that will be getting married next. I promise he will not disappoint. We couldn't be any happier with our day.Collins Entertainment's reply:

My husband and I could not have been happier with Collins Entertainment! Jim was great to work with and since we live in FL he offered to do our planning sessions through Zoom (similar to Skype) and always made sure our communications were answered promptly. He is organized, very detailed, and asked all the questions that my husband and I never even thought of or forgot too! We would highly recommend to any couple looking for a DJ or MC entertainment! He reads the crowd and ensures he keeps the party moving. Thank you, Jim!!Collins Entertainment's reply:
Karen and Matt,
A Chicago Bulls Theme introduction for you and your wedding party was the BEST way to start off your wedding reception! Learning about the start of your relationship, where you first met at Keene College to the Newburyport , MA proposal at Brine Restaurant; it was awesome getting to know you both!!

Collins Entertainment was one of the best decisions my husband and I made! Our guests are still raving about Jim’s MC/DJ skills. We told Jim we wanted a party; he really delivered! Not only is Jim knowledgeable about music, MC, DJ skills but he is well versed in the wedding industry as a whole. With Jim’s help we were able to find a videographer. We highly recommend Collins Entertainment!Collins Entertainment's reply:

When my fiance and I were looking at djs, we looked at a few different options. Although the other djs were okay, we were looking for more then just someone reading off of a powerpoint. Jim contacted us by not only a phone call paraphrasing his services, but contacted us face to face and got to know us as a couple before getting into the details. This personalized service was exactly what made him stand out. Throughout the process, he met with us many times face to face online and went through every detail of our big day. He helped us with his website and gave us advice on songs, when our timelines should be, etc. On the day of, we had a last minute change and needed to have some of the reception inside and some outside due to rainy weather, and he was able to adjust easily and with a smile on his face. I would recommend Jim highly! He is personable, easy to work with, and his price is excellent for the services provided.Collins Entertainment's reply:

Jim was a fantastic DJ to work with! From our first online meeting we could tell he was on point and organized better than any DJ we had talked with at that point. His use of online forms and interactive music selection made it really easy to lay out our wedding reception. On our final meeting before the wedding we finalized everything in way less time than I would have expected. During the wedding he was very flexible since we had a couple delays and were a little off the schedule, but Jim worked around it and delivered a smooth performance. I would definitely recommend him to any of my friends or family. -

Jim is fantastic! We hired him for our wedding in June, and he was kind enough to recommend a great lighting designer and videographer to us. He was extremely easy to work with throughout the planning process. He had great advice from personal experience, and was always prompt to respond to any questions or concerns. It was really important to us that our guests felt comfortable and had a lot of fun, and he certainly delivered. He did a fantastic job emceeing the evening, and he kept our guests dancing up until the very end. We are still hearing about how much fun everyone had! We highly recommend Collins Entertainment! -

From the beginning Jim from Collins Entertainment was in contact. He has a great website to pick music from and it's easy to navigate. He sent emails every month suggesting what to do at that time of wedding planning. We were happy with all the music from the ceremony to the reception. The mics at the ceremony were on point not one issue. I would absolutely recommend him to everyone!Collins Entertainment's reply:

I felt very comfortable putting my trust in his hands. Everything went smoothly and the music was awesome! I loved that we were able to get a group photo on the dancefloor. I am so happy that we chose Jim and his team to take part in such an important role on our wedding day. You will not be disappointed.Collins Entertainment's reply:

First and foremost, Jim is just genuinely a nice guy. Remember your DJ is one of those wedding vendors who actually attends your wedding! He's simply the best. As a musician himself, as well as a DJ/Emcee with years of experience, he just gets it. The quality of his work is impeccable and it's plainly apparent that he loves what he does for a living. Music plays a lot of different roles at a wedding and can evoke so many different emotions. From his many years of experience servicing weddings, Jim was able to help us select different music for each section of our wedding - from the ceremony to the cocktail hour, to the dinner, to the party. He brought up great suggestions for both the ceremony and reception, which we would have never come up with on our own. Jim's services are an incredible value - you get a wedding coordinator, DJ, and Emcee all rolled into one. We'd recommend him over and over again. He was truly integral in making our wedding as unforgettable as it was!Collins Entertainment's reply:
Thanks so much, Liz! You wedding was fantastic and it was wonderful getting a chance to know the two of you so well! :) -

Jim was so helpful with all of the planning process. He had great suggestions and he was very easy to work with. We had Mike and Dan as our MC and DJ and couldn't of asked for anyone better. They were flexible and helped keep our dance floor going. We had many guests approach us letting us know how well they did.Collins Entertainment's reply:
Megan & Mason,
Thanks so much for your kinds words! It was an honor getting to know you both during our planning visits. I had a blast helping you incorporate creative ideas into your wedding reception. Best wishes and congratulations! :) -

Jim did an amazing job from the first time we met with him through the reception. We had 2 planning sessions with him, the first he got to know all about us so he could personalize his service to us. The second session is all about the music, my husband was very specific in the music he wanted played and I was unsure about a few things, Jim made great suggestions that worked for the both of us and we couldn't have been happier at all the music he played at our ceremony and reception. The planning process was also made much easier due to their online planning tools, they helped a seriously disorganized bride (me!) stay organized and feel comfortable throughout the whole process.
Thank you so much!Collins Entertainment's reply:
Ali & Matt,
I was honored to serve as your Master of Ceremonies for your very special day! It was such a pleasure getting to know you both and understanding the vision of your wedding reception and helping you create a memorable celebration! -

Jim took the time to really get to know me and my fiancee. He made the wedding personal and special for us. Jim coordinated with all of our other vendors and made sure the day ran smoothly. He also reached out to my dad and our maid of honor and best man to talk to them about their speeches. We had our wedding in our backyard and we were extremely nervous it would all work out and we would be able to celebrate as opposed to feeling like the hosts......Jim was a true Master of Ceremonies and took over to be sure we felt like the guests of honor!! -

Jim did a great job as the master of ceremonies of our wedding! He was really helpful throughout the entire planning process and made sure that every detail was covered. He even reached out to our other vendors to coordinate with them and ensure that the day went smoothly. During the event, Jim was great at reading the crowd and playing music that got our guests onto the dance floor and having fun. Thanks Jim for making our wedding unforgettable!Collins Entertainment's reply:

I cannot even begin to express my gratitude for the work that Collins Entertainment did to make our wedding an amazing day. The preparation beforehand was truly appreciated and to be frank, really helped me focus on other things. The DJ services were COMPLETELY handled by the team and I did not have to worry about a thing on the day of.
To give more context - Jim and potentially another DJ or MC, depending on who will be at your event, will set up several meetings with the couple to better understand the atmosphere that you are looking to create. During my first meeting with Jim, I described what my family is like and he really got to know my fiance and me. Before our next meeting, Jim asked that I fill out a planning form. This task was a difficult one for me, due to my work obligations, but Jim and Mike helped my fiance and me fill it out on the spot during our second meeting. During this meeting, we made a lot of important decisions, including the music we wanted to play during our first dance, and our dances with our parents. This meeting helped ease my anxiety regarding the upcoming event.
Jim also sent emails every few weeks with reminders on what should be accomplished during that time period.
The actual event could not have been more successful. We had a blast. The pacing was excellent - Mike was an excellent project manager! And all our guests had such a phenomenal time that they didn't want to leave at the end of the night! Mike was very transparent and made sure I approved of the pacing. He was so flexible in accommodating the timing of events, especially considering that things started to get pushed back!
I cannot thank Collins Entertainment enough for the work they did to make this a truly unforgettable day.Collins Entertainment's reply:
Doris & Chris, Thanks so much for the great review of our services. We were happy to help create lasting memories for you and your family and friends! We enjoyed not only the celebration, but the in-depth planning leading up to it! Wishing you well wishes and congratulations! -

Our wedding was on October 9th. We knew from the beginning that having a good DJ was very important to us therefore it was the first vendor we chose aside from our venue.
My husband and I grew up dancing and met at a club so we knew that we wanted to dance the night away with our closest friends and family. Therefore we searched for days and finally found Jim. We were excited by his great reviews but what really sold us was our initial meeting with him via FaceTime. He understood our vision and also gave us many creative ways to keep our guests engaged and to embrace our love.
We were able to keep everything organized on a timeline on a website and choose particular songs that we liked or disliked to create a unique playlist.
Jim was even able to keep a surprise dance that my husband did a secret through our planning and it was composed seamlessly!
We can't thank Jim enough for all the hard work he put in to making our reception so fun and eventful! -

I just had my wedding on 9.10.16 and I highly recommend Collins productions. We live in NC and JIm made it very easy to plan the day. He was available with email or skype which helped out a bunch. His website and documents were very easy to use and he was very prepared to answer any of our questions. He is very experienced and professional with planning. The execution on the day was also amazing. He coordinated with the other vendors to make sure the day went by without any issues. He sends you a schedule of the day before the wedding and puts you at ease that everything has been planned for. If you do book Collins Productions I highly recoomend that you opt for the Photo Booth. The booth was one of our favorite add ons to the day and you get a cool photo album at the end of the day. Do yourself a favor and book a true professional with Collins Productions. -

Full disclosure - Jim is a lifelong friend, and was incredibly generous to give us his services as a wedding present. That alone, was fantastic, and more than enough. However, he also recommended to us a photographer (David Frost Photography) and videographer (Ryan Burns), both of whom we are responsible and professional as he was.
Our wedding was on 8/27, and went off without a hitch. Jim was all-about communication, every step of the way, to make sure he was going to give us exactly what we wanted, and nothing of what we didn't want. My wife and I are also pretty easy-going people, so we also appreciated his suggestions to help guide us when we couldn't figure out what we wanted.
He was also patient, as we were so busy we weren't always able to get right back to him.
On the wedding day, he was there as bright and early as I was, to set up both the reception and the sound system for the wedding. He played all the songs we requested, gave us a great introduction, and did a good job of engaging the people and getting them up to the dance floor when we wanted to make things a little more lively.
He was really big on making sure he was exactly as involved as we wanted him to be, no more or no less. We actually didn't require much of him, but I'm sure other couples who want a big party where the DJ will be the host, ringleader and Master of Ceremonies will be just as happy with Jim's services. We were thrilled! 10/10. -

Jim was the DJ at my wedding on 8/12/16 he was awesome! He was very helpful before the wedding making me feel 100% confident that my wedding would be the best! He listened to exactly what we wanted and everyone was dancing the entire time! I received so many compliments from the guests on Jim and how much fun they had dancing! Leading up to the wedding he was always there to answer questions, and he had ideas that I did not even think of for the ceremony and reception. I had nothing but a positive experience and I am going to recommend Jim in the future. -

Jim along with his recommended pianist played music at our wedding at The Simsbury Inn. Leading up to the wedding, Jim was responsive and supportive of us exploring different directions to take our day. At our request, he even mixed a custom song for our first dance just to see if we would like it!
It's my opinion that if the DJ is doing a good job, s/he is barely noticed and the music is at the forefront, and Jim did this perfectly. All the music blended into one another well. He interacted with the crowd just the right amount, although I get the impression that if the couple wants Jim to be more interactive he is perfectly capable of it.
Overall, without hesitation, if I were to do it all again I would choose Jim every time. -

Choosing Jim as our wedding DJ/Emcee was the best decision we could have made! He was extremely professional, organized and kept everyone on the dance floor all night. He made the entire reception flow smoothly until the very end. My guests still tell me how great the music was at my wedding and how professional Jim was! -

DJ Jim is the best in entertainment that you could ever have! We booked the DJ service and master of ceremonies service. Our wedding was well managed, amazingly well done, festive, and everyone danced the entire team. They kept playing hit after hit, and we had the best time of our lives! He also recommended a colleague for lighting who made our entire experience magical! You cannot go wrong with this DJ! -

My wife and I are very glad we went with Collins Productions! Jim was very courteous and responsive when he met with us to discuss the options we had for a great wedding reception. He provided a great photo booth for us and provided the lighting also. We both had songs that meant a lot to us and he played each one. He brought a high energy to our event and it was infectious. My grandmother even got up for two dance songs. That's something we'll always remember!
Jim also took the time to announce the birthdays of my wife's friend and my Uncle Jerry. He knew all the current hits that would keep our guests on the dance floor and threw in some great classics for our older guests. The party always kept rolling and my friends and family (even Uncle Jerry) are still talking about it weeks later. Your assistant that night (scott?) had great energy, too! Great job, Jim! Thank you so much for all you did!

Jim was knowledgable, flexible, and incredibly accommodating during the entire planning process. We wanted to hear songs he didn't have yet in his HUGE database of songs, so he purchased them just for us! We wanted a few non-traditional things during the reception, and he easily worked them into the flow of the evening. He kept everyone dancing the whole night, right until the last song, which was exactly the kind of reception we wanted to have. He was excellent and I would recommend him in a heartbeat. -

DJ Jim was recommended to us by two of our friends, and I'm so glad he helped make our wedding reception the lively dancing atmosphere we wanted it to be! Throughout the months leading up to the wedding day, he was professional and responded quickly to our requests. His website makes it very easy to select specific songs you "must play", "would like to play" or "really don't want him to play." He was optimistic about our ideas and has great taste in music! The dance floor was crowded all night, even my grandmother got up to dance! What a fun reception thanks to Jim Collins' music and glowsticks! Will recommend him to anyone in CT! -

My wife and I were looking for a DJ that would be able to keep people out of their seats and make sure they were having a good time. I can honestly say that Jim far exceeded our expectations. Our family and friends are by no means dancing people but every spare moment we had we were dancing and our friends and family were there right along side us. There was not a dull moment the whole night. He had plenty of things to make sure everyone could get involved in the fun and he played a great selection of music to accommodate to everyone's taste. Jim also did a wonderful job of listening and filling our requests for song selections for the special dances and for our wedding ceremony itself. He provided all the necessary equipment and made sure everything went smoothly. In terms of planning I am sure he cannot be topped. He kept in constant contact and answered all questions we had. He made sure we didn't forget anything and offered his opinion when we wanted/needed it. He was nothing but professional throughout the whole experience and I would highly recommend him for all those seeking a great experience.

My husband and I found Jim on this website and we live about an hour from Jim. Jim offered to meet with us via Facetime since our schedules were so hectic between work and my school. Jim gave off a good vibe as soon as we met with him and his personality, professionalism, and knowledge really sold us. Throughout the planning process Jim communicated with us via Facetime, phone calls, and emails to ensure that all of the details were covered. Jim's website is incredibly organized and helps you plan every last detail possible at a reception. He even has a page that allows you to state which songs you definitely, maybe, and do not want played at your reception, which was very unique! At our reception, Jim was an amazing DJ and an amazing emcee! He was personable and had everyone organized and in their places prior to each dance/event. Jim had EVERYONE dancing the ENTIRE night -- even between courses! People were asking us at the end of the night to plan our 1 year anniversary party already and to have Jim DJ again! I would absolutely recommend Jim to DJ your wedding without reservations!! If I could do it all over again I wouldn't change a single thing! THANK YOU JIM! -

We hired Jim for our wedding a few weeks ago and we where not disappointed! He was professional, very accessible every time we had questions or wanted to talk, never rushed us during meetings, and took his time to get to know us as a couple and what we wanted and expected. His online forms where very easy to use and really helped us form a time line which was extra important for our photographer. The best part was he got EVERYONE involved in dancing. When our guests left they could not stop talking about how impressed they where with Jim. It's been three weeks and we still here how great he was! I don't think we could have chosen anyone better to help us with our wedding and I'd recommend him to everyone. -

Jim Collins was an amazing Master of Ceremonies from start to finish. My husband and I had a Connecticut wedding that we planned from California. I had one weekend in Connecticut to choose all of my vendors and meet with them. Jim was so professional, organized, and passionate during our meeting that I felt very comfortable choosing him as our MC. He continued to reassure me that he was a great choice through the whole process through his organization, advanced prep-work, and knowledge of how to make a wedding run smoothly. Then the wedding day came and he really blew me away. Our wedding venue was tricky to say the least. Our ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing took place in four separate locations. Jim set up perfectly so the music could be heard in every location. His table looked discreet, neat, nice, and fit right in. Most importantly my guests were dancing the entire time and multiple people came up to me throughout the night and after the wedding to tell me how great the music was. I highly recommend Jim Collins for your next event! Thank you Jim for making our planning process and wedding so amazing! -

I would highly recommend Collins Productions DJ Entertainment looking into a DJ for their wedding! Jim was great during the entire planning process. He was energetic, easy-going, and dedicated to the process of planning our wedding. Jim and I planned the entertainment and flow of the evening step by step together, from start to finish. We left our meeting feeling relieved and assured that our wedding reception would flow smoothly. Jim takes a lot of pride in his work, and this passion always shines! During our reception he had EVERYONE up and dancing! Our friends and family are still telling us what a fun time they had, and how great Jim was. He made our reception fun, memorable, and personalized, just like he promised! -

Jim did such a wonderful job for our wedding. People were dancing late into the night thanks to his work. While my wife and I selected most of the songs that were played, Jim worked in some nice addition selections that the guests enjoyed and he did a solid job putting the playlist together to keep the energy going. I think what impressed us most though was how he was able to find all the songs that we wanted to play. We had some less than typical requests and yet he had them all. The most impressive being that we wanted to play the song "Somebody's Getting Married" from the movie "The Muppets Take Manhattan" right before the wedding started. We weren't able to find a recording of the song anywhere, but he managed to do it and everyone loved it. -

Jim Collins was an amazing DJ for our wedding! We had the night of our lives!! He was extremely professional and made it easy to plan our wedding from out of state by meeting with my husband and I several times over Skype to discuss our event. He was open to our song selections and our itinerary and also had a lot of great experience and ideas to add to our reception. He helped make our wedding a night we will never forget! The dance floor was packed the entire night! He had a great selection of music, an amazing website with song choices and great prices for wedding packages. Everyone at our wedding, including the event staff and our bartenders said our wedding was a blast!! You have to have him for your wedding!!! -

Jim was our DJ for our October wedding and he was absolutely amazing! He has such a welcoming and wonderful personality, just great to work with! Right from the first meeting, we knew he was the DJ we wanted to have.
He gave us an online website with extensive planning info. which really helped us feel organized (Helping us decide on songs and give suggestions for songs for each part of the reception.) It made things much easier!
Jim is a fantastic communicator, and is available whenever you need to discuss something.
He was very reassuring, even at my most stressed right before the wedding and he made sure everything flowed smoothly the day of the wedding. He is very on top of things and basically takes charge and makes everything entirely stress-free, so you don't have to worry about anything!
Most importantly, he kept the dance floor packed all night! I might be biased, but I don't think I've ever been to any wedding where there were so many people dancing and constantly throughout the whole night! There was never a lull on the dance floor at all! I am so pleased with Jim's clear dedication to his profession and his obvious desire to make sure everything was perfect and that we were happy and worry free! I cannot imagine having any other DJ for our special day and you will be very happy if you book him. I cannot recommend him enough! -

Thank you Jim Collins Productions for an awesome night! He was helpful with both planning the timing/schedule of the night's events and also making sure our dream wedding was fullfilled. He takes the time to get to know you and makes the day very personal. He also kept the party going with great music selection that kept everyone out on the dance floor! I would recommed his buisness to anyone looking for a fabulous master of ceremony for their special event. Thank you again! We had a great reception and party thanks to you! -

I could not have asked for a better DJ for my recent wedding reception. Jim was very accommodating and had a website set up for his clients to create a timeline to help the reception run smoothly. The website also allows the bride and groom to request songs that you definitely want played throughout the night as well as songs or specific genres you do not want played. The online system also offers lists of popular selections for the first dance, garter toss, bouquet toss, father/daughter dances, etc. which makes the process of choosing songs so much easier! Jim checked in with us several times before the wedding and answered any questions we had very quickly. He makes an effort to really get to know the bride an groom beforehand which really allows for the reception to be more personalized. He had guests dancing all night long and I was sad for the night to end because I was having such a blast! I will absolutely recommend Collins DJ Entertainment to any friends and family with upcoming weddings!! Thank you so much for making our reception perfect by helping everything run smoothly and keeping all of our guests entertained throughout the night! -
