Wedding Reception Review – Chautauqua Suites Mayville NY 06.12.09

MrytleBeach2008077Kevin 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!

Wedding Reception Review Hotel Syracuse

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!anthony_lisandra_dance

Turning Stone Casino Saturday July 25th 2009

It was a pleasure to be back again at the Turning Stone Casino – we are there so many times during the year for wedding receptions and we have the Banquet Director to thank largely for that in referring us to many brides and grooms:

We  were asked by the Turning Stone to be involved with Company Holiday Party’s for their clients this forthcoming year in the events center which we are thrilled to announce here!

Many professional DJ Services are recommended by the Turning Stone and we are glad to be on the list of recommended DJ Services!

Onto the reception for Brian and Erin last night at The Turning Stone in the large Oneida Room;

We used our Up Lighting to full effect to the Bride and Grooms amazement and enhanced the room which has a capacity of about 1000 guests using plumes and washes – pictures below:

The reception was fantastic and we customized the introductions and has unique effects for certain parts of the reception never seen before;

Guests danced all night to music from all the era’s and shouted more more more at the end.

Onto the Lava Nightclub after the reception to dance through the night bringing this amazing reception to an end:

Thank you once again to the Turning Stone for recommending us so many times and for working with us and delivering great service and food!

Pictures from the reception below showing our special lighting for the sweet heart table and surrounding area’s:

Remember this is not a must do but its a matter of choice and if you like it then we implement it but on the other hand you might not want any lighting or even dance floor lighting – the choice is yours entirely

Belhurst Castle, Friday July 24th

Again we were at Belhurst Castle this time in the Meritage Room for a wedding and ceremony from 4-11pm!
The Weather nearly spolied the ceremony outside but we went ahead and found the window:
Guests danced througout the reception and a great time was had by all:
Thank you to Carmen and her staff at Belhurst Castle again for another great job and we will see you this next friday as we are back there again!

Quite an honor!

Belhurst Castle Review June 2009

I was glad to see this review online from a client:

“Kevin was very professional throughout our whole planning process. He goes above and beyond probably every vendor in his field. He is a pleasure to work with – and our wedding went exactly how we wanted it too. He is from England, so his English accent is a bonus. :)

Wedding Reception July 18th 2009 – Traditions, Fayetteville NY

Yesterday I was selected as the chosen and prefered entertainment for  Scott and Melissa’s wedding reception at the Links Erie Village, Fayetteville NY and it was a pleasure to be part of their special day:
We provided complete sound enhancement and wireless microphones for the ceremony which took place outside under the gazebo and went perfectly!

Guests transitioned into cocktails and then into the reception where we customized the entrance and introductions like never before.

We also used our famous up lighting to enhance all the pillars and room, plus as you will see in the pictures here we lit up the head table using our LED Bricks.

The dancefloor was jam packed all night and we had a blast – the guests were fantastic and the staff (again – thanks Kim) wonderful to work with and we thank Kim for refering Kevin Colangelo Premiere DJs to so many clients.

 

 

It was a pleasure to bump into my old friend Ed Guarante Photographer and swap storys!
Looking forward to having lunch this week with Bill the owner of Black Tie Entertainment – should be a great lunch swapping idea’s and storys and working together to make the industry better for all and form partnerships and respect for other vendors.

Silouwed Feature now released

Here is the new exclusive effect we have launched as an option in the right setting and enviroment for a bride and grooms entrance – it is only an option as options go and might suit some people and not others – its all about choice and what the client wants as with everyhting

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 minnute 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 uplighting 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!
Sincerely,
Alyssa Williams
