Kevin Colangelo is
absolutely the best around! We never knew how
good a DJ could be until we met Kevin. He was an
excellent speaker that night and kept the
reception running smooth. He was easy to work
with and gave excellent suggestions based on his
experience that truly made our reception
exceptional. We booked the photo booth as well
and it was amazing how much our guests enjoyed
having their pictures taken...guests from their
20s-70s were in the booth having a blast! We had
almost 300 guests that had a variety of musical
interests and Kevin was able to entertain
everyone with a range of great music. His staff
was courteous and professional. My husband and I
had a great time! Our guests were very impressed
with Kevin. Thank you so much!!!!!!

Michael and I just wanted to
thank you so very much for
the most wonderful job you
did with our wedding.
Your ideas and suggestions
were so incredible and made
such a difference in our
day. They made such a
difference and really added
to the beauty of the day.
The music was great and you
kept the reception moving in
a terrific way even though
we were behind time wise.
You and your staff were very
professional and so easy to
work with. Michael and I
didn't know until that day
that your company did
Michael's brother and
sisters wedding too. A
great tradition to start in
the Silverman family!!!
Thank you so very much for
all your hard work and for
making our special day so
great and wonderful. We
couldn't have done it
without you.

My wife and I could not possibly be happier
or more satisfied with Kevin's services.
We understood that Kevin was pricier than
other DJ services.
We believed that someone who could make our
reception memorable would be worth it.
The dance floor was constantly packed!
Our guests told us, with conviction, that
they enjoyed our reception MORE than any
they had been to before!
Retrospectively Shelley and I would describe
Kevin more as a MC than a DJ.
The way that Kevin 'read' the room, to
assure all our guests had fun was the
reason!
His ability to keep our guests engaged
throughout the evening was what made our
night magical!
WITHOUT RESERVATION, fell free to contact us
for any further comment or questions.

Review From Mother of
the Bride: Kevin Colangelo
was recommended to me for my daughters wedding
reception by a friend of mine who hired Kevin
twice for her son\'s and daughters wedding
receptions. She obviously liked him enough the
first time to hire him again. At our first
meeting with him I was impressed with his
background, talent and professionalism. With his
excellent website we were able to conveniently
plan the complete DJ itinerary for my daughters
wedding reception. He answered our questions in
a timely manner and was very attuned to every
detail. The timetable of events during the
reception flowed smoothly. The music played was
enjoyed by all ages and I've never seen so many
people dance for so long at any reception I've
been to! The bride and groom had the best time
ever - it was way beyond their expectations! I
definitely give Kevin a thumbs up!

Review from Bride Christine;
Kevin did an amazing job DJ’ing our wedding. He
played the perfect mix of slow and dance songs
to get everyone up and dancing. He provided
wonderful advice related to speeches,
introduction songs and the anniversary dance. He
was very careful about making sure everything
went just right and he succeeded. He also did a
great job engaging our guests and taking their
requests. I've received such terrific feedback
about our reception and Kevin's performance in
particular. Thanks, Kevin!

Review: Kevin Colangelo
was a fantastic DJ! From our first meeting we
knew that our reception would be fantastic.
Planning the music for the reception was a
breeze with the online website. The forms were
very easy and helpful. He also took a lot of
time not just during our first meeting but also
met with us at our venue a couple weeks prior to
the wedding to go over floor plans, lighting
etc.
We were both extremely
pleased with his performance at our wedding. He
was very attentive to the pace of the wedding
and accommodated all of our music requests. The
dance floor was NEVER empty! We have had
multiple friends and family members compliment
the music and state that it was the BEST wedding
reception that they had been to in years!
We highly recommend
Kevin and his company to any of you looking to
book a DJ!

Review: Kevin exceeded
our expectations for planning, lighting, sound,
music and entertainment for our wedding day. He
was not only very attentive and receptive to our
needs and concerns prior to the event, but he
demonstrated his attention to detail as he
carried out these plans.
We were so happy that
we went with Kevin for our ceremony sound and
music. The ceremony went flawless and the music
was played exactly how we wanted it. His
suggestion for music selections for both the
ceremony and reception was a big hit as well.
As far as the
reception, the dinner music was perfect for the
setting. When it was time to pick it up,
everyone was on the dance floor! The lighting
and sound system really help make the event as
well. Everyone could hear the toasts clearly and
that was a huge plus for us as we have been to
many events where we would barely hear the
speaker.
Overall, Kevin and his
staff did a phenomenal job for us. Everything
from the planning to the transitions to the
photo booth was exactly what we wanted and kept
the day practically worry free!! His
suggestions and fast response (especially as the
event drew near) really helped keep the whole
day an event that we and our guests will never
forget. I highly recommend his services to
anyone for any event! Thanks Kevin!

Review: When we were first looking for DJ
services we were disappointed to find a huge
lack of interest from disc jockeys; that was
until we found Kevin. From the moment we met him
he was enthusiastic and willing to offer us a
ton of advice since we were very inexperienced
with throwing a wedding reception. He made us
feel very at ease and through out the entire
planning and event none of us had to feel
nervous about the celebration. Kevin was able to
work with us to give us the kind of party that
people are still talking about day after day! We
are getting emails from many out of state and
country guests that say that have never had so
much fun at a wedding before and that the DJ was
so amazing. Literally, the dance floor was
packed the entire night! We would recommend
Kevin to anybody putting on an event. He is
professional, energetic, and very knowledgeable
about what he does. We couldn't have been
happier with out wedding day. It was the perfect
day and thanks to Kevin we had the time of our
lives!

Review: Within about 5 or 10 minutes of
meeting Kevin Colangelo, I knew I wanted to hire
him to be the MC at my wedding. Kevin came
to my parents house the fall before my June
wedding. He spent around three hours with my
parents and I describing in detail what he could
do for us at my wedding. He was very animated
and expressive, even getting up out of his chair
at times to describe some of his wonderful
ideas. My parents and I hired him that night-we
knew we had the right guy for the job!! We were
definitely not disappointed. As the time
quickly approached for the wedding and more
contact was made with Kevin, he was always very
prompt in responding to phone calls and e-mails
and always spent whatever time was needed on
these phone calls and e-mails. Kevin always
offered extra wonderful ideas. When I was
concerned about how to make my groom\'s side of
the room for the reception look/be more
attractive, Kevin suggested we put high top
tables and a bar over on his side.
This worked out fabulous! Kevin was fabulous
at the reception as well doing his best to play
as many songs as I had requested. He was
professional and classy all the way through!! I
would highly recommend Kevin for your next
event!!

Mohawk River Country Club
Review: From the first time
I saw Kevin in action about
5 years ago at one of my
friends wedding I knew that
the day I got married he was
going to be the one and only
DJ I called! My wife was
against only checking out
one DJ for the wedding (you
know how women get about
wedding details) but she
trusted in what I had to say
about Kevin. after coming to
an agreement on the cost of
the services which I felt
was very reasonable we not
only booked Kevin as our DJ
but also his wedding photo
booth. we wanted to do a
different wedding favor
because everyone pretty much
throws them out or never
takes them anyway. so we
went with the booth. what an
awesome idea!! people raved
about it all night. They
were having the time of
their lives playing dress-up
and feeling like a child
again. It honestly was the
greatest idea Kevin gave me
for the event. and if I
didn't trust his judgment I
probably would have not done
that. So thank you Kevin!
Approximately one week
before our wedding Kevin
drove all the way from
Geneva NY (finger lake
country) to our wedding site
which i believe was 3.5
hours away just to meet with
me and Brittany and discuss
what WE wanted to see for
our wedding. It was a 2 hour
meeting He completely made
our wishes and vision come
to life. I honestly don't
know of many company's who
would do that for their
clients. At best I expected
a phone conversation about
what we wanted. We talked
about everything from music
to up-lighting and
everything in between. My
wife felt so comfortable and
excited after meeting him
and seeing what live art he
was going to paint for us
and our guests. And to top
it all off when him and I
first spoke I told him that
i only wanted him (Kevin) to
run our wedding and not
anyone else from his company
he took the job. I was very
impressed with him after he
said he could be our DJ
personally. I really thought
he wouldn't want the job
because it was so far from
home for him but he accepted
personally and with ease.
Its been almost a month
since our wedding and we
still see people who all
they do is talk about how it
was the best wedding they
have ever went to in their
lives!! how Kevin was the
best DJ they ever heard at a
wedding and they also cant
get over the lighting
inside the main dining room.
people told me its like
something they only see on
TV. Since the wedding I have
several friends who will be
married in the next few
years, and also my own
brother who will be having a
band at his wedding in
October want to book Kevin.
he was so impressed with him
he wants to have him create
memories for his wedding
like ours.
Kevin blew our mind away
with the music, lights, and
his level of
professionalism. My wife and
I were so blessed to get the
opportunity to experience at
our wedding what Kevin does.
he truly is the best!! There
really is no other DJ out
there who can compare with
Kevin, again...HE IS THE
BEST!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR
EVERYTHING!

Review: Kevin was great from
the day we met with him to
discuss his services. He
had so many great ideas on
wedding details other than
just his DJ services, he had
unique ideas from his years
of experience and we used
some of them and they were
such a special addition to
the wedding! Not only does
he have a great website to
use along the way during
planning but he will travel
to meet with you to go over
details and help in the
planning process and make
sure then venue and his
service runs smoothly. The
music was fantastic and
every one was dancing all
night long until the last
song was played. He also
did up-lighting which looked
AMAZING! We also booked a
photo-booth and that was a
huge hit and you get a copy
of everyone\'s at the end
and its a great guest book
to keep after to look back
at. Kevin\'s energy and
thoroughness really are
appreciated and am sooo
happy we chose him for our
wedding! THANK YOU Kevin,
you did a great job and it
really means a lot to us
that you were a great MC for
our wedding. All our guests
were very impressed and
continue to ask us your
name. Keep in touch, Good
luck in everything!

Review: We were very happy with Kevin\s
services. Before the wedding, we had an hour-long call with him to
talk about the details of the event, minute by minute. Kevin\'s
experience was clear as he told us how to structure the event (i.e.
make sure that no one is clearing dishes during the speeches). He
was also excellent about finding the music we wanted and even
remixing certain songs to fit our needs. Day of, Kevin and his team
arrived on time and were all set up as expected.
The event went smoothly thanks in large part
to Kevin's assistance.

not to mention the energy was outstanding. We have had so

Without ever meeting Kevin in person until the day of our actual wedding, my
wife and I booked Kevin during the wedding planning process after speaking
to him one-time on the phone only. Kevin was so thoughtful and walked us
through everything that he would do for the reception. He really listened to
what we wanted and ensured us that he would make that happen (and he did not
disappoint). Furthermore, about a week before the wedding, we had a 2 hour
conference call where we reviewed every last detail. Needless to say, before
ever meeting Kevin or hearing his music, I knew we had the right guy.
Now on to the fun stuff....Kevin was an absolutely amazing DJ. Full stop.
When I say that every song he played seemed like the perfect fit, I really
mean it (my friends/family agreed as well because they could not believe
what a great DJ we had). After getting a feel from us for the type of music
we wanted to have, he started out with some classic oldies to get the
dancing started. This was earlier in the evening so it was great for our
older guests. But by the end of the night, he literally had the place
dancing like crazy (mostly me and my wife's friends at this point). But the
way that he transitioned from song to song and MC'd the event as perfect.
Also, I am from outside of New Orleans so I wanted to make sure I had some
of my hometown music, which Kevin was able to make happen as well.
If you are looking for a DJ that isn't cheesy, knows how to MC an amazing
party and is a true professional, then search no further. I strongly
recommend Kevin for his services. If you are not convinced by
recommendation, then I would suggest you call him to get a sense for what a
good guy he is and what a fantastic DJ he can be for you!
Thanks Kevin!

Review: We were extremely pleased with the
complete service we received from Kevin
Colangelo. This includes the pre-planning
discussions, pricing, the functionality of
the online planning website, as well as
Kevin's attention to our questions and
requests.
With regard to the reception itself, Kevin
ensured everything went off without a
hitch. We had asked for some additional
requests that required his assistance
(custom introductions, surprise guest
singer, hall acoustics, up lighting, etc)
which he ensured were executed properly.
Most importantly, Kevin and his assistant
made sure the party was a party to
remember. The flow of the music and the
order of the songs he played were perfect.
The crowd was involved and dancing the
entire night and everyone had a great time.
We receive tons of compliments and positive
questions about the DJ. We would definitely
recommend his service. Thanks!

R eview
from the Bride Jennifer Phelan;
Kevin
Colangelo went above and beyond to help me make my wedding day
unique and one-of-a-kind. I live out of town so I had to rely on
emails and calls to correspond with him, and he was professional and
helpful the entire time, making me feel like everything would fall
into place. From special requests (Kevin cut our first dance song
for us) to specific details (cueing, song choice, etc), Kevin made
sure that no detail was overlooked. He listened to what I wanted and
offered advice as needed. The day of the wedding I was given a very
special surprise by my Father. For his speech he had secretly worked
with Kevin to do a musical timeline of my childhood and even though
they had never practiced this 'performance' it was flawlessly
coordinated. There was not a dry eye in the room. I have no doubt
that this very sentimental moment would not have happened, if it had
not been for Kevin's care and compassion. Because of that, it was a
moment that I will never forget. Thank you Kevin for running your
business with professionalism, grace and honesty, you have my
recommendation.
Review from the
Father of Bride Jeff Phelan;
Review: Kevin played a major role in my daughter’s
wedding and his professionalism was unmatched that day. His
preparation to detail and his experience shined on our special day.
Kevin knows exactly what to say and when to say it and more
importantly, ‘how to say it’. He was a pleasure to work with.
We received many compliments from our guests, as well as we asked
Kevin to do some different things and he performed them flawlessly.
He knows how to read a crowd; his voice is spectacular and his
clarity is outstanding.
Thank you Kevin for the splendid job you did at Jennifer’s and
Ryan’s wedding. We had guests from 6 states and they all commented
on what wonderful job you did.
Kevin is at the top of his trade. His experience and professionalism
truly shined on our special day!

songs to play or what was going to get played and if people were going to
dance. People of all ages were dancing all night from start to finish. We
highly recommend Kevin Colangelo Premiere Disc Jockeys. If you want a

hire this company. You will not regret it!

Kevin DJ'd a close friend's reception last year as well as my own
this September. Our friend's wedding was an absolute blast and
I was impressed with how Kevin gauged the crowd and played an
outstanding mix of music that kept the dance floor packed all night.
Needless to say, I was excited that we had Kevin booked for our
wedding the next fall.
I cannot thank Kevin
enough for the job that he did at our reception. We have
received numerous comments from friends and family that it was the
best reception they have ever attended. There were 150 guests
and nearly every one of them (from ages 8-80) was on the dance floor
the entire evening.
We let Kevin pretty
much run the entire evening and our play/don't play lists were very
short. The music selection was awesome, the right mix of
classics and new hits. As with our friend's wedding, Kevin did
an incredible job of gauging the crowd and giving the people what
they wanted.
What impressed me the
most about Kevin was his level of professionalism and preparedness.
Our planning meeting before the wedding was invaluable as Kevin
offered several suggestions on the order of events and the flow for
the evening. His experience really showed here and his
suggested timeline for the evening was perfect. We could not
have planned the schedule better and are very grateful for his
input.
Of all the various
vendors required to pull off a wedding, Kevin very easy to work with
and the one whom we felt most comfortable with and confident in.
I would recommend him without reservation as he has nailed two home
runs at both weddings I've been to. Thanks again Kevin!

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.

was phenomenal and his MC skills are truly something to be admired.
Everyone raved about how wonderful Kevin's services were.

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 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!!!

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

Wedding Reception H. Weiner Vineyard,
Fingerlakes, New York
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.

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.

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

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...

for
that.

I
will

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.

His song

and
undistorted.
His

spotlighted
several
things
throughout
the

The
scene he
set for
our
first

was
perfect.
The
wedding
was
three
weeks
ago and
we
continually
receive

very

was in

broke

been as

gathering

- and
also
gave us
plenty

Kevin
called

prior to

to
review
everything
from the

the flow
of the

song

and so
on.
When it
came to

itself-
Kevin
arrived
a day in

and was
at the

the

afternoon
setting
up. He
working
hand in

with the

the

During

Kevin
came to

times to

and if
there
was
anything
in

we
wanted
to hear-
or
anything
he could
do. His

was
great-

was

Song

We would

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.

Dear
Kevin,
My

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

for
you,
please
do
not
hesitate
to
have
that

call
me

I
would

Once

I

earlier.
You
made
everyone
at
my

feel
special
and
as

said
"The

that

made

He has helped me make many wishes come true for local children.
He generously donates his time and services to wishes such as

The true cost of a wedding
continues to increase each year. In 2010,
The Bridal Association of America estimated
that an average wedding costs a whopping
$38,500!
There will always be
more expensive and less expensive weddings
that will change the average. This figure
includes the engagement rings and the
honeymoon, which on average amounted to
$4,400 and $3,700, respectively.
Reception
As you can probably
guess, the cost of the reception was by far
and away the largest expense for a wedding.
This amounted to over $14K or 37% of the
expense. Depending on the number of the
guests, catering for all the food was
estimated to cost over $9,000! In addition,
do not forget the alcohol. Having an open
bar will increase the tab significantly. On
average, couples spend over $2,800 just on
beverages and bartenders. Other expenses
include rent for the venue, the wedding
cake, and hotel rooms.
Photo &
Video
Making up an estimated
10% of the total is Photo and Video. If you
want to capture those once in a lifetime
moments, you will have to pay dearly. Nearly
$3,700 in total. Do not forget to allocate
$2,300 for the photographer and another
$1,400 for the videographer. Not included in
this total is an additional $953 for music
and entertainment.
Attire
This is your big day
and you want to look your best. However,
this does not come cheap. In total, attire
amounts to 7% of the total budget or $2,600.
Nearly 60% or $1,500 of that total is
dedicated towards the bride's dress. Don't
forget the bride's accessories, headpiece,
and hair and make-up - that adds up to
another $740. Not included in this total is
an additional $2,000 for jewelry. The groom
can look good in his tuxedo and a few
accessories for under $400.
Ceremony
The Ceremony expenses
come in at over $2,500 or about 7% of the
total budget for a wedding. Nearly 50% of
the cost of the ceremony is related to
expense from the rehearsal dinner. Rehearsal
dinners can easily exceed $1,000 with the
average cost being $1,269. Site decorations,
ceremony location, officiate, and other
accessories round out the remainder of the
costs for the category.
Flowers
A wedding would not be
complete without flowers. A couple can
expect to pay nearly $2,000 to liven up the
wedding with a pop of color. Flowers used as
decorations is the bulk of the expense, with
the remainder going to bridesmaid and bridal
bouquets, corsages, and flowers for the
flower girls.
Favors
and Gifts
Last but not least are
the favors and gifts presented to friends in
family for sharing in this joyous occasion.
Don't forget to set aside an additional
$1,100 for this expense. Gifts for your
bridal party can amount to over $580.
Wedding favors are an important tradition
and cost an additional $400. Other small
gifts for parents can also add to the bottom
line.
Not included in this
review is stationary and transportation -
which add an additional $1,250 in expense.
***Musician/s, Soloist, or
Ensemble, Disc Jockeys Photographer, and wedding dress top the list
of spending increases as couples spent 23.3% more on Musician/s,
Disc Jockeys, Soloist, or Ensemble, 16% more on a wedding
photographer, and 12.6% more on the wedding dress.
