    I could not wait to give a review for Vinny and his team at Cool Cat Entertainment. From our first meeting, it was clear that Vinny & CCE were what my husband and I were looking for. The service and attention we received from beginning to end was incredible. Each member of the team went above and beyond the normal call of duty to make sure that our event was perfect. My family & friends continued to talk about CCE well into the weekend after the event - they commented on the energy and the pure entertainment that Vinny and CCE provided all through the night. Nick our DJ played exactly what we were looking for - the dance floor was packed all night! Pauly "Bongos" was an unexpected and delightful addition to the night! So unique and fun! And of course Vinny - the best MC around! He made it his priority that all of our guests were having the time of their lives - and he succeeded! I would HIGHLY recommend this team of professionals for your next party!!

    Amazing wedding dj

    I can say this without a doubt that I've never heard a better wedding DJ in my life. Vince made the perfect mixes to get the party started and it never stopped!! Vinny MC'ed the entire night and kept everyone hyped for an amazing night! Couldn't have asked for a better way to celebrate our big day. Everyone had a blast and it wouldn't have been possible without Vince and Vinny. You guys rock!!!

    Used for 3 Bat Mitzvahs

    I have used Cool Cat for all 3 of my daughter's Bat Mitzvah's. The DJ really is the person who runs the party and Vinny and his staff have an extensive knowledge of how Bat Mitzvahs are organized. They provide everything you need from montage, candle lighting ceremony, party games and the hora. Every DJ and entertainer from Cool Cat has had so much energy and personality. The Cool Cat team works with you to plan your party, offers excellent advice and delivers what they say they will and more. They check in during the party and make any adjustments you may need.

    In a nutshell...they are reliable, professional and accommodating. They help get the party moving when it needs to and bring a relaxing mood when things need to settle down. Do not hesitate to hire Cool Cat. It is the best money you will spend.

    Amazing & Personable

    Vince is so down to earth. He knows all the great songs to play, and he knows when to play them. When he noticed that my guess weren’t really dancing he knew exactly what to play to get them on the dance floor. That was the moment I knew I hired the right person. He never gave us a canned response, or a general spiel at all. He was open, and honest, and all around the best vendor that I had.

    Call Vince Jr. FTW (for the win, and for the wedding)!

    Our wedding ended up getting cancelled because of COVID, and we paid a deposit but ultimately did not get to use this vendor (or any vendors). This vendor recently switched hands to the prior owner's son, Vince or Vinny Jr. He's been great to work with and has a clear vision for this business. He has a strong work ethic and is dedicated to client satisfaction. You're in good hands with Vince and the future couldn't be brighter for Cool Cat/Motions DJ.

    Events by Cool Cat's reply:

    Sincerely appreciate the kind words Nick! Best wishes to you and your family. Looking forward to continue building this DJ brand in the Saint Pete/Tampa area

    Fostered a great party!

    There are so many pros to hiring Cool Cat. Their website to add music is so easy to use. My husband and I had fun adding to the lists and searching music. Vinny went around during cocktail hour playing card games with our guests, which is beyond the expectation of a DJ! One of my favorite parts of the nights was when Vinny and the other DJ (I forgot his name!) played the dollar game before dinner. It was a competition to get people talking, laughing and dancing! So many amazing moments came out of this game! Our guests danced all night long and I don't think I sat down after dinner! Having Cool Cat as our entertainment took a huge stress off our shoulders. We did not have to worry about any piece of the reception as they handled the flow of everything!

    Party of the Year!

    As you can see from the other reviews, Vinny and the Cool Cat team are THE DJs to have at your wedding if you want it to be the perfect party. My friends are still texting me (almost 2 weeks later) talking about how they have never been to a more fun wedding and have never seen so many people on the dance floor the entire night.
    From the get go Vinny was amazing. I live in NYC so we have a few phone calls to plan everything and he was incredible. He made sure to play the specific songs that I wanted back to me over the phone to make sure it was the correct one, gave me recommendations and all in all put me at ease that the dance floor would be totally under his control.
    I also found it extremely helpful that they have an online portal that takes all the stress and thinking away from you. Every detail is listed for you to fill in with what song for the occasion and what songs must me played and what songs you absolutely hate. They even have a special comment section where you give finer details about the family that DJs should know (divorced parents etc) to avoid any awkwardness.
    The day of they were dressed and ready to go! Like I said they had everyone on the dance floor in the first song and the way they set up the evening they got all the "wedding stuff" out of the way so that the last 3 hours were all for partying! It helped move the wedding along and gave us all more time to just celebrate with friends and family.
    Like I said, if you want your wedding to be the party to beat - hire Cool Cats. You will not be disappointed!

    Incredible Wedding DJ with a Personal Touch

    Going with DJ Vinny and Cool Cat was the best decision we could have made while planning our big day. DJ Vinny's ability to turn our vision into a reality with his personal touch made it feel like he was part of the family before the night even started. Vinny accommodated all of our song requests and even added an extra hour of play to our reception during the reception when we decided that we didn't want the party to end! Many of our guests commented that this was the most fun wedding that they have been to, which is in large part thanks to Vinny. We can't recommend the Cool Cat team enough for your wedding. - The Tagliafierros.

    Dillon knows how to read the crowd!

    We had Dillon as our DJ and he was awesome! He is alot of fun, gets out there and dances with you and super energetic! He made our wedding so much fun and really knew the music to play to keep the party going! He could read the crowd to tell what to play to keep everyone on the dance floor! Dillon went above and beyond for our wedding and made it a night to remember forever! They have an online portal to make all of your music choices and was so easy to use to let you customize your wedding day playlist! We also booked the photo booth through Cool Cat which was super convenient and was a great addition to our day!

    Best dj ever!

    Vinny and his son did such an AMAZING job for our wedding!!! We found out about him initially 7+ years ago when we attended our friends wedding and had the best time ever. When we got engaged, we knew immediately we wanted to hire Vinny. He did an amazing job with the music, keeping the guests moving, dancing, and interacting with each other, and was a great MC! Vinny and team are very professional, extremely friendly, organized, and made out special day perfect from ceremony to end of reception. Thanks again Vinny! We loved your service and will recommend you to everyone!

    Best wedding DJ

    Dillon made our wedding reception amazingly fun, exciting and non-stop dancing. There are not even words for what a great job he did. Everyone said that he was the best wedding DJ they had ever seen (even an aunt who works in the wedding business). He was extremely responsive to my questions and concerns. He coordinated with the venue. We lived out of town and he skyped with us to plan the timeline. He was extremely energetic and fun. He made the party everything we wanted and more. We also got our up lighting and photo-booth from Cool Cat, and both worked out perfectly. I highly recommend Dillon, and the Cool Cat organization for your wedding!

    Look no further!

    Cory was an absolute rockstar in helping get our wedding music planned and delivered not only an amazing experience for us and our guests but was professional the whole way through.

    If you're looking for a vendor who is going to go over and above then look no further. Even with our weird music tastes, Cory was able to pull together a set list that had all our guests from 2-92 on the floor and having a great time.

    Excellent Energy & Professional Style

    Paulie was an awesome DJ with great energy. He was able to accommodate our unique venue (backyard wedding) and even helped us out with many items during the wedding, including putting the available power from his ceremony spot up to his wedding spot. He was very flexible in our requests and adjusted his style to exactly match our needs. I would absolutely recommend his services (and CoolCat in general) to everyone.

    No One Left the Dance Floor

    Vinny & his son, Vince kept everyone on the dance floor all night long at our wedding!! Vinny was a pleasure to work with since day 1, and we're SO happy and grateful to have had him and Vince entertain our guests! We've had nothing but positive reviews of our wedding and I know it's because we had Events by Cool Cat DJ our wedding. From the interactive cocktail hour to playing hit after hit at our reception, we couldn't be more thrilled with how our night turned out. Thank you Vinny & Vince for making our wedding night one to remember!! :)

    Danced all night long!

    Events by Cool Cat is the way to go! Mo had us dancing all night long! He was amazing...EVERY SINGLE ONE of our guests commented on not only how amazing Mo was but his music choice and ability to read the crowd were on point! He made a special mix for my father/ daughter dance which was perfect too! I really can't say enough good things about the customer service we were given throughout the process too!

    Couldn't be happier we went with Cool Cat

    Every step and every detail of our experience with Cool Cat was perfect. Vinny knew exactly what he was doing, had great recommendations for ways to entertain during the reception and knew exactly how to get the dance floor going from start to finish. There was not one point in the wedding that the dance floor wasn't full. He was more than willing to meet with us before the wedding to get an idea of what we wanted and then again to finalize our ideas and work on some music ideas for different parts of the day. You can tell he is very passionate about the entire wedding experience and really cares that your day is perfect. The entire experience from requesting a quote, to meetings and the big day was a breeze and would 10/10 recommend Cool Cat and Vinny to anyone looking for a DJ.

    Made an incredible night!

    Dillon completed our wedding! He was the best dj I have ever seen at a wedding! He kept everyone dancing all night and even came on the dance floor himself to join us with his amazing dancing skills! It felt like he was apart of our family that day! He even came up to us if someone requested a participation song to see if we wanted to play it or not. Most people were dancing to the last song and even took a picture for us of everyone on the dance floor. If you want an amazing wedding that everyone talks about weeks to follow then you need Dillon to be your dj! You will not regret it! He was the life of the party!

    Amazing DJ!

    Vinny was awesome! Everyone has raved about our dj since our wedding 2 weeks ago, and I have some very picky family members when it comes to dj's. Everyone had a blast. Vinny helped us from start to finish and but on quite the show for us. It was a perfect day and they helped make it the time of our lives.
