Wedding Reception and Ceremony
August 21st 2010
Traditions at The Links at Erie Village, Syracuse NY
In our almost 60 years, we've attended more weddings than we can count.
Never before have we seen a performance that comes close to the production
that Kevin and his team created for our daughter.
From the set up at our outside wedding on somewhat difficult terrain to the
6 hour reception that followed, everything was simply perfect.
Our guests were awed by Kevin's equipment and the professional manner in
which he kept the reception moving along. The dance floor was never
empty...many danced to nearly every song...straight through to midnight. And
yes, several even climbed to the top of the tables to dance.
The photo booth was a huge hit...we heard many positive and fun comments.
The thoughtful backlighting of the sweetheart table and nearby columns was a
wonderful touch.
Thanks to Kevin and his team, our daughter's wedding has now set the "gold
standard" for "DJ" entertainment against which all future weddings will be
evaluated (and we counted at least 24 upcoming weddings in our friendship
circle over the next several years).
Thanks Kevin for delivering an "evening to remember"---you made our
"reception jitters" disappear and made us comfortable that our special
evening was in your very good hands indeed.
Thanks so much,

Kevin - you were amazing! My daughter's
wedding reception was wonderful. Our initial meeting with you
made it clear to us that we had chosen the perfect DJ. We knew
immediately we were in good hands with you. The reception had a
full dance floor from the time we arrived until the last dance.
Thank you for your part in making it such an amazing day.
You're the BEST!!!

Kevin did an amazing job. The ceremony music he helped us pick was
absolutely perfect! The ideas he gave for the reception were great
and included everyone. All of the requests for music to be played
were filled! Every step of the night was planned and played out to a
T, making the experience a dream come true! Kevin is very
professional and amazing at what he does. He was the perfect pick
for the DJ at our wedding! We received so many compliments on him!

From my first phone conversation with Kevin, to the meeting in his
office, to the wedding day… everything was absolutely amazing.
Every detail was so wonderfully planned and executed to
perfection. Family and friends ranted and raved about how
involved he was with our guests. The music equipment and lights
were incredible, never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that
having the right DJ could make an event so much more amazing!
Thank You Kevin for all you did for US!

Kevin Colangelo and his team went above and beyond all of our
expectations. From the very first call, we knew we had found the
perfect DJ for our wedding. We were planning our New York wedding
from Oklahoma and Kevin put our minds at ease by making amazing
recommendations on photographers and other vendors. Kevin also
prepared a masterful and artistic slideshow for our guests that blew
their minds. It truly was memorable! Kevin was always 100%
professional, but still knew how to have fun. He ensured that we
didn't have to take care of anything when it came to our wedding
day. The sound system was phenomenal and his MC skills are truly
something to be admired. Everyone raved about how wonderful Kevin's
services were. Anthony and I will recommend Kevin and his Team to
everyone we can. Please feel free to contact me as a reference! And
Thank you Kevin for making our Wedding such a special day!

When we first met with Kevin we immediately became excited to have
him as our DJ for our wedding. As the event drew closer it was easy
to see that Kevin followed through with what he offers. Never
have I ever seen such professionalism, maturity and class with a DJ
service. Kevin and his assistant handled the evening so
well…from start to finish everything ran smoothly. As I looked
around the night of our reception I noticed that literally EVERYONE
was on the dance floor, even people who swear they do not dance.
If you are looking for your reception or event to be “the best ever”
definitely consider hiring Kevin, he will make it happen and follow
through on his word. The reviews are still coming in for our
reception…from the music selection to Kevin’s organization, the
night was a hit! You definitely get what you pay for with
Kevin’s DJ service

Kevin did an amazing job DJ-ing our wedding! It
would not have been the same without him! All of the guests
commented on how much fun he was! I loved all the ideas he had
to involve all the guests – things like giving away the
centerpiece, bouquet and garter toss – that you see at every
wedding, he had great ideas to make them fresh and exciting!
Also – we had friends that were celebrating their 1st wedding
anniversary at our wedding & he had the best idea how to make
them feel special.
Kevin helped to create memories that we will not likely forget.
Also – he used inspiration from the venue to set the tone for
the wedding. It was exactly how I envisioned it, but better.
Thank you Kevin! I’d recommend you to anyone for their event!!!

WOW!! AMAZING!! We had our wedding just a few days ago and people
are still asking who the DJ was and where we found him. Everyone
LOVED him! The dance floor was PACKED all night long.
People sat down only long enough to get a drink and to catch
their breath. Kevin Colangelo was my DJ and he was courteous,
very professional and FULL of great ideas! When we first
called Kevin about being our DJ, I was looking for price - not
necessarily quality.
I'm super glad that Kevin convinced us to meet with him before
giving us a quote. He drove 45 minutes to my house just
for a meeting! No strings attached. He came prepared to
answer questions and give suggestions on everything from music
to seating arrangements, never once asking or hinting at signing
a contract on the spot. If Kevin hadn't insisted on a
meeting, I may have gotten a DJ that I disliked or didn't mesh
with my husband and I just because I was being frugal with the
budget. Turns out that Kevin worked out in budget and
completely EXCEEDED my expectations! The DJ is a very important
part of the party... without a great working relationship with
him/her, your reception could be a disaster. I want to
thank Kevin and his assistant from the bottom of my heart for
making my wedding reception what it was. Spectacular
uplighting that made the room perfect, great music all night
long and an great sense of fun from Kevin all made my wedding
reception the huge hit that it was!

Wedding Reception
Six Mile Creek Vineyard,
Ithaca,
New York 
The evening was full of many pleasant surprises, the lighting
during our indoor ceremony being the first of those.
Colors of soft, fluid light, grazed the walls of the intimate
tasting room of the vineyard, which is where our ceremony took
place. We were counting on an outdoor ceremony but moved
indoors due to rain. Of all the visits my fiancé and I had
made to the location during the planning of our wedding, I had
never seen it look so majestic! A great deal of this was due to
the artistry and expertise of Kevin and Co. We were actually
quite thankful that things worked out as they did, which leads
to another satisfying point of the evening: The decision to move
the ceremony indoors was rather last minute, yet Kevin adjusted
everything accordingly and comfortably. Guests were saying
of the ambience everything from, “It was awesome!” to “It looked
like heaven in there,”
The after-rain mist creeping in the vineyard outside the huge
windows played a part as well, but it was incredible the way the
weather and the lighting/mood accentuated one another.
Kevin made every effort to inform myself and my husband of the
events that were to take place, things that we spoke
about/planned before such as the first dance, toasting, etc., as
the night went on. And I can only imagine the challenge of
grabbing our attention as well as our guests, amid all of the
excitement of the night! I feel he succeeded in doing
that.
My father even mentioned the next day that he really appreciated
the playlist. I agreed that it was a balanced, energetic,
fun array of songs; our" picks” from the on-line planner were
often woven in as well, much to our appreciation.
Kevin and his assistant were working with a space that was
perhaps not as open as many weddings/events are. Rather
than having a central dance floor with tables all around, the
tasting room had several partially divided sections. This I
presume posed a challenge at times to get the maximum number of
guests involved in the dance floor-oriented events. Then again
with this set-up, guests had the option of mingling,
enjoying their coffee, etc. without an imposing sound system
complicating things. For those of us who wanted to boogie
– the wedding party, my folks, some great aunts and uncles, the
bride and groom- it was fabulous! We had a blast.
All-in-all, we were pleased and even ecstatic at times, over the
course of the evening. We realize the impact that the DJ has on
the smoothness of such an event, after working with Kevin
Colangelo’s DJ services.

Kevin provided exceptional service for our wedding in September of 2009.
He transformed the ball room and turned it into something beyond our
expectations. The first time we walked in we couldn’t believe the lighting and
set up job that Kevin and his crew created. Everybody including my 80yr old
Grandmother was up dancing the whole night. All night we were approached
by our guests who repeatedly asked, “where did you get this DJ-he’s the best!”
He was able to work within the guidelines of our venue, and he made sure that it
would feel like it was our special night. We highly recommend Kevin
Colangelo and his team, and their fantastic services.
Thanks again Kevin,

Kevin Colangelo was by far the best DJ we have ever seen. He
made a wedding reception so much better then we could have ever
imagined. It was like something out of Vegas and when we
walked in we became the show. It was absolutely incredible!
We met with Kevin twice before our wedding and after the second time
we actually got a little nervous because he really sounded TOO good
to be true. Let us assure anyone, he really is as good as he
describes and he will do everything he says he will! We would
welcome anyone to contact us for a reference for him.
Thank you again Kevin for making our day even more special!

Good Afternoon Kevin:
Thank you Kevin for a wonderful job. As caterer's and restaurant
owners we have seen many good Dj's and you sir were the best. From
your idea's for song selection, planning, and years of expertise
made our own wedding go seamless. The light show was also an added
bonus that no one should go without (AWESOME)! Everyone at the
reception raved about you saying it was the best reception they have
ever been to. You will be the only DJ that Seymour's will recommend
to our clients and we look forward to seeing you again soon.Sincerely,

Kevin and his assistant, Mike, put on an
incredible show at our wedding, and we had tons
of guests coming up to us and asking us where we
found our DJ/MC. Because we had spent several
hours planning the course of the evening with
Kevin, he was really able to tailor the music
exactly to our taste. He fit in many of our
requests at the perfect time, and even went out
of his way to find special versions of several
songs that we had requested but that he didn’t
previously have on file (including the coolest
version of “Sunrise Sunset” ever by Louis
Armstrong. As an MC, Kevin was very charming,
and captured the attention of our guests while
at the same time keeping his presence fairly
discreet.
Special touches that went incredibly well:
The father/daughter dance started out with just
the bride and her father, and then during the
last 1/3 of the song, Kevin called out all
fathers and daughters to come onto the dance
floor. The same for the mother/son dance. This
was very popular and meant that the dance floor
went from 2 people to 20 people, then about 200
people within the course of 3 minutes. Great
transition!
Lighting was very cool
-The alternative garter toss, where the roles
are reversed and the lady pushes the garter, was
hilarious, and everyone loved it.
The anniversary dance, where the dancing
couples gradually get eliminated based on being
married for less time that others, was very
exciting, and some of the older couples that
were outlasting others, were so excited to have
their moment in the spotlight.
Everything went so smoothly. Once the dancing
started, you couldn’t keep the guests off the
dance floor. It was packed all night. As Kevin
promised, we ended on a high notes, with
energetic dancing until the end. We had to ask
guests to leave.
Great overall attention to detail, and succinct
keeping to the schedule.
Thanks for helping make our wedding turn out so
perfectly. We couldn’t be happier.

all
night,
and
hardly
anyone
remained

seat. He
played
the
right
music at
the
right
time,
and was
able to
accommodate
our

the
night!
Everyone
commented
on how
phenomenal
the DJ
was, and
it made
it worth
every

Hi Kevin,
Jeremy and I
would just like to say thank you so much for all of your help and
information before and during the wedding! We appreciated all of
your tips, and guidance to try and make our wedding everything we wanted
it to be and more. Everything ran so smoothly, and was everything
and more we expected it to be. We did not have one minute during
the whole night that the dance floor was not packed and that is exactly
what we wanted! Our surprise entrance we planned went perfectly
and shocked everyone! The up lighting was just beautiful, and
really set the mood for the whole night, and was so classy. (esp.
on the sweetheart table) We did not talk to one person the whole
night and since the wedding who has not commented on how smoothly
everything went, and how amazing the DJ was!
Thanks for
helping us with everything beforehand, and making the night run
flawless!
Attached is
the picture of the entrance, I edited for you let me know if you would
like any other pictures we have a bunch of everyone dancing with all of
the lighting etc.

Hello Kevin,
We are back from our honeymoon in Kauai - a little tired and more than a

I can't thank you enough for all of your help and for your
professionalism. From the moment we first contacted you it was obvious
that you had our best interests at heart and that your goal was to help
make everything perfect.
And you did just that! You kept us on track and informed all the way

Kevin Colangelo was a
complete blast to have at my wedding, I had a smaller wedding ~100
people and the age ranges varied impeccably, Kevin Colangelo was able to
have everybody up and dancing the entire night! Everyone after the
wedding said that they had the best time they had ever had at a wedding
reception. The DJ even knew that when one of my husbands friends who
caught the garter was a little too much for my 18 year old cousin
without saying a word or missing a beat he reversed it so that my cousin
put the garter on him for the evening, it went well and I couldn't have
been more pleased. I highly recommend Kevin Colangelo premier dj's I
couldn't have wanted anything more on the most important day of my
life...

I
wanted
to
know
if
you
could
email
me
the

the

or
if
by
chance
you
offer
the

of
putting
most
of
our

on a

for
keepsake.
There
would
be
no
hurry
but
Mike

I
were
thinking
we
wanted
something
like
that
and
if
you
don't
if
we
can
get
that

we

Let me
just say
that
Kevin
Colangelo
was the
best DJ
I have
ever
seen. I
have
been to
plenty
of
weddings
and
other
events
that had
DJ's,
and
never
have I
made or
heard a
comment
about
how good
the DJ
was. At
my
wedding,
I had at
least 20
people
come up
to me
and ask
where I
found
him, and
how
amazing
he was.
While
the
service
cost
more
than the
other DJ
services
I
checked
out, it
was well
worth
the
money
and
Kevin
was
excellent
to work
with.
Kevin
was very
professional
and is
extremely
knowledgeable
about
weddings.
He had
numerous
suggestions
to make
our
wedding
better
and we
used
many of
them.
Most DJs
show up
and
play.
Kevin
helped
us get
the most
out of
our
wedding.
He
showed
up 5
hours
before
the
reception
to set
up and
has
extremely
high
quality
equipment.
Kevin
was
wonderful
to work
with
during
the
wedding,
he
played
everything
that was
requested
and had
a great
surprise
song for
the
finale.

Dear Kevin,
Happy New Year and I hope your holidays were good. Brian and I just wanted to say thank you. You really made our wedding something to talk about!! I couldn't believe how packed the dance floor was all night long. We had chosen you and your company based on your web site and by the way you spoke to me the first time I called you. You had a presence about you that made everything seem ok. You had all the answers to my questions and had really great ideas. The only stressful factor about it was hearing from everyone, "did you hear him in person?" And my answer was always the same, NO. I didn't feel I had to hear you in person after viewing your web site and reading the reviews from everyone. You can't always make people happy but we sure were.
I just have to say that you were more than I thought you could be. You did everything to ease my mind and I knew that We had made the right choice. The way you had everything scheduled and were able to change a few things on the spot made everything go smoothly. The dramatics of the bubbles and the lights really added a flare to the reception. Your accent alone makes it something else too. We really appreciated how you spoke to us and it seemed like we had know you our whole lives. The centerpiece give away was the best! The way you kept the dancing going was also amazing. The whole night just flowed and it was all orchestrated by you.
So, thank you so much and again and we were so happy to have you be such an intricate and important part of out wedding.

and
I
wanted
to
say
thank
you
for
the
great
job
you
did
at
our
August
11,
2007
wedding.
At
the
beginning
of
our
wedding
process,
I
wanted
a DJ
who
would
be
able
to
blend
two
worlds-
my
Cambodian
side
and
my
husband's
Italian
side.
I
had
high
expectations
for
a
wedding
DJ,
because
I
really
wanted
all
of
my
guests
to
enjoy
themselves
and
and
have
a
great
time
by
kicking
of
their
shoes
and
dancing
to
the
beat-
I
have
numerous
pictures
of
just
that!
Kevin-
you
EXCEEDED
our
expectations!
The
dance
floor
was
jam
packed
and
you
selected
songs
that
appealed
to
all
ages-
a
big
plus
for
us!
Our
wedding
day
was
made
even
more
special
by
all
the
hard
work
and
though
you
put
into
the
planning
and
it
showed
that
night-
I
received
so
many
compliments
on
my
DJ
that
I
have
recommended
you
to 5
of
my
girlfriends
who
are
now
engaged
as
well.
If
you
ever
need
someone
to
give
a
recommendation
for
you,
please
do
not
hesitate
to
have
that
couple
call
me
at
518-727-7514
or
email-
Sovonnay@gmail.com.
I
would
be
more
than
happy
to.
Once
again,
I
apologize
for
not
sending
you
a
big
thanks
earlier.
You
made
everyone
at
my
wedding
feel
special
and
as
one
elderly
couple
said
"The
songs
that
we
danced
to
tonight,
made
me
feel
so
young!"
Sincerely
(and
with
heartfelt
thanks),

Wedding

Living
in New
York
City, we
had a
huge
selection
of DJs
to
choose
from.
But
after
finding
Kevin on
the Web
and
talking
to him,
we
decided
to hire
him--all
the way
from
Syracuse.
Kevin is
a very
personable
guy, and
that
charm
and
charisma
really
carries
over to
his job.
He made
our
wedding
feel
like a
grand
event
without
stealing
the
show. He
also
played
all of
the
music we
requested
and even
added a
few of
his own
selections
that
really
enhanced
our play
list.
Also,
Kevin's
sound
system
is top
notch
and had
our
guests
dancing
all
night
long.
You will
not find
a more
professional,
easy to
work
with DJ
around.

Kevin,
not just
his
company,
were to
the
UTMOST
in
professionalism.
I had a
VERY
complex
and
difficult
wedding
to
accommodate--
an
all-day
outdoor
event
that was
bilingual.
His
charm
was
appreciated,
yet he
was able
to
dictate
to me
what we
needed
to do to
make the
day run
smoothly
without
acting
or
sounding
pushy. I
can
almost
say that
I
underpaid
such a
fine
performance.
Kevin,
his
assistant,
and his
company
are your
guide to
a
flawless,
perfect
day. I
will
remember
this day
for the
rest of
my life
and not
only
only
walked
away
with
that,
but also
a
friend.
Please
feel
free to
contact
me at
any time
regarding
his
services.

Wedding
Information
I wanted to
take a moment to let you know of another side of Mr. Colangelo,
that he may not have shared with you, his charitable side. He is
a friend of the Make-A-Wish Foundation here in Central New York.
He has helped me make many wishes come true for local children.
He generously donates his time and services to wishes such as
Sweet 16 parties and our Wish Family Picnic. I would highly
recommend Kevin. He is always professional and kind. I have
enjoyed working with him on several occasions. He ensures our
events are fun and well run. He always has great insight and
suggestions.
Sincerely,
