Amazing Weekend !

Posted by admin on August 31st, 2008 | 0 comments

We had the enviable task of visiting Bridge Water Manor in New Jersey on friday for the wedding of a beautiful couple !

Picture below shows our set up for the wedding using our UP LIGHTING to full effect


We arrived home Saturday morning 6am !
Then it was off to Traditions at Links in Syracuse to work with my good friend Kim the Manager of Traditions – Kim and I have known each other for many many years and done so many events together – thank you Kim for recommending us to so many clients!


I joined our Team 2 for the Silverman Bat Mitzvah bumping into another 2 old friends – great vendors – Mike from Video Memories and David Moore Photographer – I thank both for the kind words said about our service!
The party was incredible and the decor by Frank Bryce – incredible job Frank!
Then I left for Binghamton to join my set up crew and dancers at Terra Cotta for the Gunzenhouser Bar Mitzvah:


My good friends at Terra Cotta who recommend us a lot to clients were more than accommodating as usual and the food out of this world!
Pictures below of the INCREDIBLE party – we were asked to play an extra hour!
As you can see by the picture below our lighting effects are unsurpassed in the area and we only use the best up lighting modules which make other lighting of this kind look inferior:


Email JUST received from Monique from the Bar Mitzvah :

Hi Kevin,
We also have been saying what a wonderful party it was…and really have you to thank for it!!!!!
Everyone commented on how great you guys were….and your name has been given to many people for potential future parties!!!!! Thanks again for being there. I know that you run a class act business… and have to say that you make all the difference!!!!!

I am heading out now, just wanted to thank you and the team…..you guys rock!!!!!!!
Best regards,
Monique and family :)

Kevin Colangelo Premiere Disc Jockeys was the first service to offer up lighting to clients and continues to lead the field – many times copied but never equaled:
We also have a huge demand for name in lights – this is where we have a projected effect of the bride and grooms initials or names on a space or dance floor :
another busy weekend coming up with more weddings on friday,  saturday and sunday and this week we install new lighting at Carey Lake !
Then on Thursday I travel to Buffalo to meet with a client looking for up lighting and two level configuration of sound in a dining area and dancing in another and wants a club like atmosphere downstairs with up lighting and dining and a different ambience upstairs for her wedding reception!

Wedding Review 8/17/08

Kevin Colangelo was a complete blast to have at my wedding, I had a smaller wedding ~100 people and the age ranges varied impecably, 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… ~ Dr. Jennifer Gorenflo

Below is a picture of the owner of Bayshore Grove – George – WONDERFUL and very very Professional guy!

We had the ultimate pleasure of being at Bayshore Grove on Sunday for a very classy wedding ceremony and reception:

Pictures below of the reception:

I can say without a shadow of a doubt that Bayshore is in my top 5 venues of all time – the food is excellent, staff incredible and the views of the lake to die for:




Incredible venue, and what a chef too!

George was very impressed with our service and added us to his list of recommended vendors!

I had the pleasure of doing a talk, interaction and general entertainment to The Oaks residents of Dewitt tonight:

The Oaks is a retirement center with built in apartment living for people who wish to retire and live within a community:


I would guess the ages range from 50 upwards into the 90′s!


I arrived and set up a small sound system tonight under the directorship of Janice Martin the Entertainment and activity’s Director and proceeded to first talk about my life and intermix that with a world quiz, sing along and many questions and answers from the residents:
Every Wednesday and Thursday there is entertainment for the residents:

I was asked if I was available and what my fee would be – I gladly jumped at the opportunity and said there would be NO FEE!
Janice said I must be paid as all the other Entertainment is paid – I demanded no payment and asked that anything I would have been paid be donated to a charity:
It was a privilege and pleasure to mix and mingle with people of vast different back grounds and interesting lives…the pleasure was all mine to ‘give back’ to society:
THANK YOU to the OAKS!

What a great pleasure to meet Bruce Carey or Carey Lake in Macedon NY and work together at his EXCELLENT facility!
After talking with Bruce we have been asked to install LED lighting, and stage lighting at Carey Lake which we are thrilled to have been selected to do!
The refurbishment will take about 2 days:
We will be installing under bar LED lighting, Stage lighting, up lighting for the stage and installing a huge mirror ball and different lighting in the main Victorian ballroom:

We will also be the ‘in house’ DJ Service for Carey Lake:
Plans are afoot for installation of a in house sound system, which we will be using 4 sub units, and four JBL high packs in a permanent fixture setting:
Bruce and I have become very good friends in a short amount of time and I feel like I have known him all my life!
Bruce delivers the utmost in customer service and his facility is one of THE best of its kind I have seen – SILVER tea pots and CRYSTAL glasses on the tables!…AMAZING !

And the gardens are to die for – all rose bushes and thousands of beautiful flower beds topped off with a view of the lake he purposely built!
This little known facility will be well known very shortly as we are helping to market Carey Lake and get the name out – this venue is a MUST see for all couples looking for everything and more in a reception venue!

Wedding Reception 08.02.08
Syracuse University Sheraton Hotel – Syracuse New York

We would recommend Kevin to anyone who is planning their wedding. He helped in all aspects of our planning process, and his insight and experience was an incredible asset. Our reception was exactly how we had hoped that it would be! The dance floor was packed all night, and hardly anyone remained in their seat. He played the right music at the right time, and was able to accommodate our guests’ taste all throughout the night!
Everyone commented on how phenomenal the DJ was, and it made it worth every cent! Thank you Kevin and Co. for making our wedding reception everything that we dreamed it would be and more!!
Amy & Paul

Thank You from a client!!!

Russell was the DJ for my daughter’s wedding reception. He was fantastic and accommodated our every request. Russell was the best! A professional who done a wonderful job! I was so happy that it all worked out perfect on such short notice, because I only acquired the services of Kevin Colangelo a little over a week before the reception. I am very satisfied with all people involved (Crystal James, from customer service, and Russell ) for helping me and my daughter pull it all together so quickly because of the time factor. Would definitely recommend Kevin Colangelo Premiere Disc Jockeys to everyone needing a DJ! Thanks for making a special moment in our lives even more enjoyable!
Yes, you may use my comments. Thanks again to you all! Your services were greatly appreciated!
A very satisfied customer,
Amy Lefevre
