Carissa L. Sent on 11/12/2023Most Amazing Experience
It was an absolute breeze working with Jay for our wedding a few weeks ago. His online form is so organized, easy, and well prepared. Jay is so fun and easy to work with, he makes the process easy without any worry. We had the honor of working with John as our DJ and he was the BEST! He had everyone on the dance floor all night and made sure he played a variety for everyone. We added uplighting which was set an amazing scenery all night. The lights changed all night and gave club vibes to keep everyone partying. The Photo Booth workers were so nice and even partied with us sometimes. They were all pretty much family by the end of the night. They created an amazing book with all of the pictures taken which was so nice to look at the day after. We had such a great experience with Total Events I would book them 100x over again. Thank you so much for everything you do!Total Events's reply:

This company was great to work with! From the first meeting to the last, they were nothing but accommodating to what we were looking for on our big day. Our DJ Edwin was excellent! We got so many compliments from our guests about the atmosphere on the dance floor. We chose our cocktail hour songs and a few for the dance floor, and we left the rest up to Edwin, and he exceeded our expectations. This is a great company to work with, and we could not recommend them more!Total Events's reply:
What a beautiful experience, from the beginning to the very last dance under the stars and lights at the orchard. So happy for you all, thank you for having us Brooke & Ben! -

We spoke to a few entertainment companies before deciding on Total Events to provide our DJ, photobooth, and uplighting services on our wedding day. Jay at Total Events was the most professional and organized of anyone we met with, and we were pleased to work with him throughout the process. Jay matched us up with John Cardona as our DJ who did an amazing job on our wedding day, playing all of the music we requested and keeping the energy going throughout the night.
Total Events provided us with a login to their website to add songs for both the ceremony and reception. There was also a section where we could provide information related to announcements such as introductions, dances, cake cutting, the bouquet toss, etc. which enabled the DJ to keep the timeline of events moving along smoothly throughout the entire evening. It was easy to use the website and during meetings with Jay and John we were able to use it together to ensure we were all on the same page.
We also used their open air photobooth which included props, a guest book, stickers, and two attendants who set everything up and helped the guests throughout the night. Our guests all loved the music and the photobooth and so did this bride and groom!
Another feature that was helpful for our venue was the addition of extra uplighting. Our venue was a moody, darker, romantic atmosphere so the option to add extra uplighting was especially helpful for the photographers. Thank you to Jay, our DJ John, and our photobooth attendants for making our wedding reception into exactly the party we wanted it to be!Total Events's reply:

Finding Total Events was a dream come true. I didn’t have to worry ONE BIT about the DJ the night of our wedding. First meeting with Jay Raven, the owner of Total Events, blew us away. He knew exactly what to say, he made us comfortable, he talked in ways that we just understood and fell in love. He paired us with DJ John Cardona, who was simply amazing. A few meetings, a worksheet, videos and photos is all it took. The day of the wedding, I didn’t even receive a phone call, John was at the venue, setting up the chapel and the reception. I did not even for a second have to think oh I wonder if my DJ is here or ready! We heard his practice from the venue bridal suite and I just wanted to run down and start dancing. Next thing I knew I was crying, my music was playing in the chapel, John nailed it. The entire place filled with tears, they were so moved by the music, and then finally seeing me walk down. Then comes the reception, he already lined everyone up, talked to our bridal party, and started off the night. I was told later that night that John threw his back out.. I had no idea, he did my entire wedding, no sweat. He killed it!!!! The entire place was dancing the entire night. He was absolutely amazing in so many ways. John is super talented, and only took requests from me, which was already noted in my work sheet when we talked. I loved every single second of our wedding night. I will forever use Total Events!! Thank you to DJ John Cardona!! If you want music at your event without a worry, I beg you to take advantage of this wonderful team! You won’t regret it!!

Congratulations Rebecca and Connor! It was a blast working with you and your family... now let me go check on John's back lol. Thank you again for choosing Total Events! -

Jay is the owner of and main point of contact for Total Events CT. He was so personable, professional, and responsive from the very start. He always assured us that he wanted planning the DJ and entertainment portion of our wedding to be as smooth and stress free a process as possible, and he followed through on his word. Jay’s services are affordable, and he offers a package for everyone (with lighting and photo booth options). We went with the Beauty Magic Mirror photo booth option, and we’re so glad that we did! The photo album that the Total Events team made for us is a wonderful keepsake from our day. DJ John provided emcee and entertainment services on our day. He couldn’t have been better! He was so kind and accommodating to us and our guests. John also worked seamlessly with all of our vendors, including a band who we hired for our ceremony and cocktail hour. From start to finish, Jay and his team exceeded our expectations. We’re so glad that they could be a part of our wedding day and the planning process. Hire them and you’ll be so happy you did.Total Events's reply:
A beautiful night and a fantastic party, thanks so much for having Total Events be a part of your celebration Julie & Fionn! Wishing you both all the best ahead...:D -

Brittany G. Sent on 11/01/2020Best dj company ever
Words can't explain how lucky we were to have Total Events run DJ on our event! Jay is an absolute pleasure to work with and the communication is superb. Jay always comes with enthusiasm and caters to the specific event you're trying to have. He works with you on every detail and provides amazing suggestions to enhance your event based on his experience in the industry. We had to change our venue due to Covid and he was quick to accommodate with complete understanding and flexibility. Matt, our DJ the day of the event, was also a pleasure to work with. He followed the schedule and even reminded us of what it was! From the ceremony music to the wedding party entrance, to the first dance, dancefloor and everything under the sun, he was there to keep the party alive and having the best time. We could not have pulled off our event without Jay and Matt. The execution was flawless and we absolutely recommend hiring Total Events as your DJ for ANY event you might be considering. This company is experienced, professional, personable and made us feel like family. BOOK TOTAL EVENTS CT!!!!Total Events's reply:
Brittany and Alex, you're making us BLUSH lol. It was such a great experience working with you both. From long distance, or face to face (not this year) it was a pleasure connecting with you two and delivering your never forget moment! -
