    Very happy with the Top Hat Entertainment team

    We decided to work with Top Hat based on the recommendation from our venue, their price estimate and services offered. Mike was outstanding during our initial scoping calls and fully understood our goals. As we got closer to our wedding day we continued to refine our ideal music and shared that with the Top Hat team, they were really helpful with narrowing down the best versions of our selections. Our DJ was Mark and he absolutely crushed it, playing music across all the genres we identified and keeping with the vibe of our guests - the dance floor was activated the entire night and more importantly everyone was having a blast. We knew our guests would have fun, but looking around the dance floor we were blown away by the energy! We also had Christie supporting the Magic Mirror, she was so kind and helpful, making the PhotoBooth a huge hit. We were incredibly happy with Mark and Christie, they were an absolute dream team, executing our vision and ensuring our guests had the best time. We knew we were in great hands with Top Hat!

    Best Decision We Made for Our Wedding!!

    Top Hat was recommended to us by our venue and they did not disappoint! From the initial meeting we had with Mike before booking, the booking process, and their communication and professionalism leading up to the day, Top Hat was top notch. We had Rob as our wedding DJ and from our initial meeting with Rob we knew we were in good hands. Rob really took the time to get to know us as a couple and what was important to us for the wedding, which was keeping the dance floor going all night! We expressed to Rob the importance of the DJ for our wedding day and he absolutely delivered. Seriously could not recommend him enough. He kept the energy high all night and our guests are still raving about how the dance floor literally didn't stop all night. Rob went above and beyond, even taking photos for us for our private last dance as our photographer and videographer had already left. 10/10 would recommend!!

    Hit of the Night

    The mirror photobooth provided by Top Hat was the hit of our wedding. Our guests had so much fun and we enjoyed looking back at all of the photos taken. The mirror was easy to use and the attendant was extremely friendly and helpful. She helped assemble a photo book for us of the extra pictures that everyone printed. They provided fun props for us and guests to use throughout the evening. It really was the hit of the party! We loved receiving digital copies of the photos too. I recommend everyone get one for their wedding!

    Great Photobooth

    We hired Top Hat Entertainment to set-up a magic mirror styled photo booth. It was an excellent experience from start to finish. All our guests thoroughly enjoyed the ability to take their photos with a wide variety of props, and we really appreciated the attendant that encouraged guests to place their photos in our album so we could have a keepsake from the wedding. They even sent us digital copies of the photos so we can have access to them later. We would definitely use Top Hat Entertainment again.

    Amazing DJ!

    We had DJ Tyler for our wedding and he was AMAZING! During our pre wedding phone call, we told him the most important thing was to get as many people on the dance floor as possible. He definitely delivered! Nobody was sitting down, and he knew exactly what music to play to get people excited. Throughout the night he was organized, flexible, and super easy to work with. Top Hat also provided a photo booth and photo booth operator for us. They had a variety of props, and the operator was so patient and fun! If you are on the fence about a photo booth, do yourself a favor and book it. Our guests loved taking photos with the props, and Top Hat emailed us all the copies a week later. They were so fun! Overall, we would not hesitate to recommend Top Hat to anyone who asks!

    Fantastic Wedding Sound and DJ Experience!

    Top Hat provided sound and DJ services for our wedding and they were phenomenal! Our DJ, Robert, worked seamlessly with us, our wedding planner, and musician to ensure that things went off perfectly on our big day. We provided playlists for inspiration at dinner and the reception, and Robert brought it to life and kept the energy high until the very last song!

    Your ultimate hype man and DJ!

    We Couldn't be any happier to have had Top Hat Entertainment (DJ Mike!!!) for our wedding! We're still getting texts and notes from friends and family about how much fun they had thanks to Top Hat. Planning was an absolute breeze, Mike was always willing to help us with whatever we needed and we always felt we were in the best hands. He read the room perfectly, played our favorite dance floor jams, and helped give us the wedding of our dreams. He is your ultimate hype man, he got us so excited for our wedding and he kept the energy going throughout the whole experience! We would recommend Mike and Top Hat a thousand times over! Your guests will have a blast! We love you DJ Mike!

    Fun, professional, and rolls with the punches!

    Mike was amazing. We had to reschedule our original date, and that was no issue whatsoever.
    Mike kept the party going all night long, and even brought a TV so our guests could watch the ball drop while celebrating (NYE Wedding). He also worked with our bridal party to facetime a missing Best Man (darn covid) so he could make his toast remotely! It was above and beyond.
    He stuck to our both play/don't play lists and also added wonderful songs in between. Our guests had a fantastic time and Mike helped make it so! I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a DJ.

    Highly recommend!

    We are so happy that we chose Top Hat Entertainment as our wedding DJ! They helped us through the planning process and kept everyone on the dance floor all night, which was exactly what we wanted. They played all of our special request songs, and the sound quality and volume were great all night. We also added on their open air photo booth package. Guests loved getting to use the photo booth, and the attendant made sure to print plenty of copies for everyone in the photo. We were pleasantly surprised that they sent all of the digital copies of the photos after our wedding, so we got to see everyone’s pictures (even the ones we weren’t in).

    Awesome DJ and Photobooth

    Top Hat Entertaiment was an incredible vendor to work with. The mirror photobooth was a HUGE hit and they played our playlist but also added in some of their own suggestions that ended up making the party SO much fun, multiple people complimented us on the music and how much fun the party was. They were super nice and great to work with.

    Amazing experience

    Damon was our DJ, and we cannot recommend him enough! He was communicative before the wedding, and set up a phone call to go over details and timeline. We are less traditional and cut out a lot of the "fluff" of a wedding reception, and he completely understood the vibe we were looking for. During the reception itself, Damon checked in with us at each point before toasts etc, and made sure we were ready and kept us running on time. His music choices were fantastic, and he was incredibly experienced with reading the crowd and the energy in the room. We had an early bus departure option, so at 10pm there was a lull in the dance floor as some guests were saying their goodbyes. Damon was able to revive the dance floor and everyone was dancing again by the end of the night. He was a true example of why experienced DJs are always worth it, and are much more than just a music playlist. Book Tophat for your wedding, you will not regret it!

    You can’t go wrong with Top Hat!

    Top Hat was so easy to work with. Tyler was our DJ and he was awesome. We told him the type of music we were looking for and he nailed it. Everyone was on the dance floor all night long. We had a call with Tyler the week of the wedding and were able to ask any questions and get any recommendations we were in need of. He was great to work with, kind, and professional. Thank you!!

    So happy we went with Top Hat!

    We used Top Hat for our recent wedding in Vermont, and had the best experience! Mike was our DJ, and leading up to the wedding he was responsive, easy to work with, and helpful. His energy in emails/phone calls was contagious, and we'd leave interactions with him feeling that much more excited for the wedding. Day of, he provided ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception music and was phenomenal! My big hope for our wedding reception (especially with Covid) was that people would dance, and he did such a great job, the dance floor was full all night! He had the best energy, and was great to work with. I'm so glad we found Top Hat!

    I should also mention, we rented Top Hat's "magic mirror" photobooth. Our guests thought it was so cool, and it made a great favor. I was originally on the fence about a photobooth, but it was so fun, and made for some hilarious pictures! Thank you Mike and Top Hat!

    Mike is the best!

    Mike at Top Hat Entertainment did an AMAZING job DJ'ing our wedding! I can't recommend him highly enough. He is a total pro; just let him do his thing! We gave him a huge list of music we loved, and he played the right songs at the right times, and knew exactly how to get the crowd up and moving. We had over 3 hours of dancing and people were just loving it! Mike really made the party and we are so grateful!

    We had an absolute blast and Mike kept everyone dancing all night!

    Mike was absolutely amazing!!! He was super friendly and attentive to little things I didn’t even think of, like making sure we had mics so people could hear our vows!! We had a table right next to the DJ that I was nervous about but Mike somehow made sure the music was loud enough for all of us to hear but not loud enough where the table was unhappy with the sound! It was amazing. Mike was more of our wedding coordinator than our actual coordinator was and made sure we stuck to our timeline and were aware of any changes! He gave us advice and suggestions to ensure things ran more smoothly! Can’t say enough how amazing TopHat and Mike was. Made our night even more memorable and fun! One month later and people are still talking about how amazing Mike was!!

    Excellent, Responsive Service

    Working with Top Hat Entertainment was easy and stress free! The process was very simple and they were quick to answer questions. Daren, our DJ, was kind and professional. He called during the week leading up to the wedding and asked all the questions he had! He struck the right balance for our group and kept everyone dancing until the end of the night! I would highly recommend Top Hat Entertainment for folks looking for sound/DJ needs in Vermont!

    You won’t regret hiring Mark

    I can not recommend Mark and Top Hat highly enough!! Planning a wedding that is 500 miles away is hard but thanks to Mark I had way less to worry about. We had music for the ceremony and reception. He arrived early to set up and coordinated with our venue, caterer and officiant. He made sure all of my preferences were catered to and kept the entire event moving smoothly. All of our guests, of all ages, thoroughly enjoyed the music being played. If you want a true professional to create the perfect atmosphere and check so many worries off your list, Mark and Top Hat are my recommendation.

    Best night ever!

    We truly have no complaints about Mike and Top Hat Entertainment! The energy and organization that Mike brought to our reception was absolutely perfect. As soon as it was reception time, he stepped up and took control of keeping the entire night on track and tons of fun! From beginning to end, the timing of the music, the dancing, the lighting, everything worked out just as we had hoped. He kept the dance floor busy the entire night, and nearly everyone we spoke to, commented on how much fun they had at our reception. We know this had a lot to do with Mike, and everything he did to help make our reception the most fun we've ever had! Thank you again Mike!

    Incredible

    I cannot begin to express how grateful we were to have found Mike. To put it simply, he was our biggest blessing during our wedding. He was the EASIEST part of planning and was truly our saving grace as our original DJ began to back peddle and get weird 4 months before our wedding. I called Mike and he called me back within 1 minute, sent an email and replied instantly. He has such vibrant and amazing energy that is a great balance at a wedding…. He was energetic and fun without being cheesy or weird! Mike from our first conversation put me at such ease explaining my situation and one of the first things he said is we are going to make this THE best wedding and I promise to do all that I can to help make this day a dream. I had some fun things planned throughout the ceremony/reception and he helped execute them all immaculately and without stress. We constantly felt like we were a priority and that he truly cared and wanted to make this the best day ever! And he did just that and more. I can’t tell you how many family members and friends were complimenting him during and after the wedding just from their experience and brief interactions with him. Mike is absolute GEM and is worth every penny. The dance floor was full, he read the crowd perfectly, handled last minute requests with grace and ease, and made us feel so calm. Do yourself a favor and BOOK. HIM. ALREADY. Thank you Mike, we adore you!!!!!

    Awesome awesome awesome!

    Mike at TopHat was very accommodating to us and answered every question we had. The whole wedding planning went very easily. We were able to meet with Mike and fill out the provided questionnaire which truly hits every single aspect of the wedding ceremony and reception. We had Top Hat provide us microphones for our officiant and readers during our ceremony. They worked very well and everyone was able to hear each and every aspect! Damon was our DJ and he did a PHENOMONAL job. Every single person at our wedding commented on what a great DJ we had! He set up a call with us before the wedding to make sure we were all on the same page about music selections --- and we were! He mixed up music effortless and flawlessly! The dancing didn’t stop all night! He checked in with us numerous times throughout the wedding to make sure everything was going as we wanted it to! We could not have had a better DJ! He listened to all of our music selections and played them all in a great order and mash up! He was great with announcements on the microphone as well! Every single aspect of our wedding reception from the entrance songs and first dances to the toasts to the cake cutting was PERFECT! We cannot stress enough how much we would recommend Top Hat especially our DJ Damon!

    Great communication - Keeps the party going!

    Top Hat Entertainment is fantastic! We planned our Vermont wedding from Boston, but Mike from Top Hat was super communicative, both through phone and email, during the whole process. Rob was our DJ for our wedding and he was fantastic. He met with us a few days before to go over our requests, and he even handled some last minute song requests I had. He was super nice, easy to work with, and kept the party going!

    Great time!

    Damon from Top Hat did a great job at our wedding at the Barn at Smugglers Notch! We had a blast with our guests dancing the night away! He was open to all of our requests and played everything that was on our list. Such a great time!

    We love Top Hat!

    Guys - if you don't hire Top Hat, you're insane. Mike made our wedding run like clock work - every song, announcement and transition was perfectly timed and flawlessly managed. He even figured out how to wire a keyboard and speakers on a remote hilltop for our ceremony, without a single complaint or hiccup. We can't tell you how many guests said, "That was the best wedding we've EVER been to," and we credit that to Mike and his team. Get ready for the wedding/dance party of your dreams!

    Top Hat is the Best!

    Rob at Top Hat was an awesome DJ! He kept the party going all night long and was so receptive to suggestions from our wedding guests (which was exactly what we wanted!). He was flexible with us on timing and kept the flow of the evening going very smoothly. I can't say anything but great things about Top Hat as a company and Rob as a DJ. Thanks, Top Hat!
