Awarded Best of Zola
We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ for our wedding. From the very beginning, Chris took the time to really understand our taste and the kind of vibe we wanted — and completely nailed it. He listened to everything we said, gave us great advice on how to keep the energy up, and had perfect suggestions for getting everyone on the dance floor (which worked like a charm). His transitions between songs were seamless, and the flow of the night felt effortless. He was easy to talk to and super thorough. We’re so glad we worked with him!

Complete Weddings + Events Albany (DJ) 
Rating: 5.0 (8 reviews)
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,399
  • Serves Berlin, NY

If you’re looking to tie the knot or throw an epic event, you have come to the right place. Complete Weddings + Events Albany, NY will help you find the right event or wedding photographer, videographer and DJ to throw a phenomenal party, plus we have fun photo booth and lighting rentals to elevate your event and give you the type of unforgettable experience you’re looking for. When you party with Complete Weddings and Events in Albany, it’s completely about you! Offering the best wedding services in the metro area.

When planning our wedding for December 6th, 2025, one of the biggest priorities for us was finding a DJ service that fit our budget without sacrificing quality. Complete Weddings Events Albany exceeded those expectations. Their pricing was right on par with what we needed, and their packages were extremely affordable while still offering a high level of service and professionalism. One of the things we found most important throughout the planning process was being able to meet with our DJ in person. Working face-to-face allows couples to build trust, communicate expectations clearly, and make sure the DJ understands the overall tone and flow of the day. DJ Dagger did exactly that for us. He met with us early in the process and multiple times leading up to the wedding, and that personal connection made an enormous difference. By the time our wedding arrived, he knew our personalities, our style, and the atmosphere we wanted. Because of those meetings, everything ran smoothly. The transitions were seamless, the music selections matched us perfectly, and he was fully prepared for every detail. That level of preparation only happens when couples and DJs work closely together well before the wedding date. We highly recommend that all couples take advantage of meeting their DJ months in advance—and meeting with them more than once. It brings confidence, reduces stress, and ensures the DJ knows exactly how to bring your vision to life. Complete Weddings Events Albany, DJ Dagger, and Joe delivered exceptional value, professionalism, and personalized service. We were extremely satisfied with both the pricing and the overall experience, and we would gladly recommend them to any couple looking for an amazing DJ team for their wedding.

My wife and I had Lou DJ our upstate wedding and it was more than we could have dreamed of. From the beginning, he was nothing but professional. He met with us multiple times prior to the event to go over music selection, flow of the ceremony day etc. His website was very easy to use and allowed us to have a large role in our music selection for the day, even for the reception dance portion. Everything was reviewed at least 3 times to ensure there were no hiccups, and also to make sure we wouldn't have to worry about anything on the ceremony day. On the day, Lou came in very early to setup and his equipment was extremely unobtrusive and sounded amazing. From the ceremony to reception (and especially cocktail hour), the sound was fantastic and there was not a single hiccup (even with an outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour!). His flow through the reception was so smooth - and as a former college radio DJ, his music choice to fill in the gaps between the 'must plays' we sent him were impeccable!!! If you have a big heart for music and want it to be the backbone of any great party while having one of the most professional guys out there - Lou is 100% your guy. Thanks again Lou!!!!

Close your eyes for a second and picture the middle of your reception. Your song comes on. Your friends are screaming the lyrics. Your parents are on the dance floor. You look at each other and just know that this is exactly how it was supposed to feel. That’s the night you’re planning. You want to be present. You want your people to stay. You want the energy to build instead of fade. And when it’s all said and done, you want to wake up the next morning with a full camera roll and a group chat that won’t stop blowing up. If that’s the kind of night you’re imagining, we're your people and we're rooting for you Let's chat when you feel like it

We got married in June 2024, and had Thaddeus as our DJ. Mackenzie took care of the photo-booth. Over the course of the 9 months leading up to the wedding I probably had 4 or 5 calls with Thaddeus to give him the general vibe we were looking for & work out details. He was professional, honest, and gave great feedback. We had many specific asks and Thaddeus made sure all of our wants fit into his plan. Once the party was going, we gave Thaddeus the creative freedom to do his thing & make sure our guests had a good time. He totally delivered. I absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ that can keep the party going! Mackenzie was great to work with as well. Empire State Events got more backdrops to choose from in the middle of our planning, so she gave me the option to switch! I’m glad we did, the eucalyptus backdrop fit perfectly with our vision. Mackenzie was incredibly friendly & ready to help anyone that needed assistance. Our guests loved the photo-booth & our kids/nieces & nephews were entertained too! Win-win!

Shawn not only offers DJ services but also Audio Guestbook and Photo Booth Services as well. Reach out for pricing and packages!

Awarded Best of Zola
Shawn provided the entertainment for our October 7 wedding and we could not be happier that we hired him! Hiring a DJ can be tricky because it's one vendor you really can't "trial" before your big day. Shawn took away a lot of that stress with a comprehensive questionnaire he had us fill out ahead of the wedding. We also sent him a list of do not play songs and vibe suggestions, but trusted him to read the room to keep the dance floor packed all night. We also really appreciated that Shawn was there to curate an enjoyable vibe -- not to hear himself talk on the microphone all night. He played a great mix of music that was suitable for guests of all ages and backgrounds, yet still felt cohesive when played one after the next. A true professional! Our guests had a blast dancing the night away, and many of them told us how much they loved Shawn's DJing in the days following the wedding!

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Serves Berlin, NY

Wedding and event band based in New York’s Capital Region. We do cocktail jazz, wedding receptions, ceremony music and more. Today, jazz is a rarity, especially in its purist live form. This condition is a result of its limited availability, and the higher prevalence of rock bands in most areas. We at T. L. Holloway seek to alleviate this issue. As students of the jazz classics, we seek to provide authentic American jazz to venues and events all over the Northeastern United States.

Steve and his band were INCREDIBLE at our wedding. They were phenomenal at feeling out the energy, keeping the energy up when everyone was on the dance floor, and just playing bangers that our guests of all ages were able to sing to. Truly the classics but enough variety that it wasn’t always overly played songs. Our guests were chanting “one more song” at the end. Before the wedding Steve was so kind and responsive, working with us to make sure he knew the schedule precisely plus the vibe we were going for. We have been raving about them for weeks after the wedding. I hope we have some other opportunity to have them again, but I would highly recommend having Steve and co. make your event memorable. Thank you guys!!

I worked with Bridie and Olivia this past summer at our mutual client's wedding. They were on time, professional, easy to work with and overall a joy! They asked all the right questions leading up to the ceremony and were on point once we began. From a vendors perspective, they were all you can ask for! I have added them to my vendor recommendation sheet and will continue to tell future couples and other vendors about their impressive musical abilities and lovely personalities. They can play everything from classical to Taylor Swift which clients love. Can't wait to work with them again!

  • Serves Berlin, NY

NSM DJs spin live mixes at your event, with seamless transitions and expert blends. We’ve worked to build a reputation around a style that is fun, classy and memorable. That’s how we roll.

We are so happy to have found DJ Anthony B from NonStop Music for our wedding this past June 17th and would highly recommend him to any future bride and groom (or for any event)! My now husband and I are musicians, so we spent a lot of time researching DJs and debating what kind of DJ we wanted. As soon as we had the first meeting with Anthony (after listening to hours of his remixes), we knew he was the one. He listened to every need and concern we had regarding wedding music and DJs in general, and flat-out blew us away with his talent. His musicianship truly shows in his ability to get all of the guests out on the dance floor, no matter their age. Our guests are still raving about how good the music was more than a week after our wedding and how they have never danced so much at a wedding before (including our wedding coordinator)! He was able to take the classic wedding songs and put a nice spin on them so that it kept the original sound, but also added something new and special. He also took our wide, eclectic style of music and remixed oldies and rock with tech house and pop. Thank you for the Zedd remix and for our first dance song rendition! DJ Anthony was just the right amount of involved with the crowd, coming out to dance with us a few times, but also not over-involved. He was extremely professional and created a great atmosphere for our special day! This was one of our hardest vendors to choose, but also our most rewarding choice. We are looking forward to hiring him again for the next big life event, and really appreciate all of the hard work he did for us before the wedding and during the most special day of our lives! Thank you DJ Anthony. You really made our wedding (sound) incredible! -The Claffeys 3

We spoke to couples who had them at their wedding and the general consensus was they exceed their expectations. Hands down the best band in the area. If you are looking for a fun time with a band that can play ALL styles of music, you need to hire Grand Central Station

Welcome to New York Players, the premier dance party experts in the heart of New York City. Specializing in creating unforgettable experiences, we excel in curating electrifying entertainment for weddings, corporate functions, private gatherings, galas, fundraisers, nightclubs, concerts, and festivals. Our commitment to excellence ensures every event is tailored to your unique vision, keeping the energy high and the dance floor packed from start to finish.

The New York Players were the thing our wedding guests talked about the most! Aside from being absolutely fantastic and putting on a great show, the pre-event communication and planning support really made NYP a great band to work with. We didn't really know going into booking what things needed to be considered when booking our event music, and Mike was so helpful for holding our hands through the planning process. Before the event, Mike helped us plan the logistics, met with us to discuss our goals, and gave us an extensive song list to select music from for the night, as well as adding some songs that we love that were not on the list. The attention to detail and level of care put into the band made feel so fun and special, and took a lot of the stress of wedding planning out of the music planning due to the top-notch professionalism. The band really is amazing, the experience was like being at a live concert where all of your favorite bands are playing all of your favorite songs. I can't recommend booking with the New York Players enough!

The harpist and violinist were absolutely incredible — truly one of the most magical parts of our entire wedding day. My husband and I were completely in awe, and our guests couldn’t stop talking about how beautiful and cinematic the music was. It felt like something straight out of a movie, especially with the stunning ambiance of our ceremony location. From the very beginning, the process of choosing music through the company’s website was seamless. There were so many amazing song options to pick from, and we were so happy with our final selections. Hearing them come to life — especially on violin and harp — was beyond words. The musicians played so eloquently and gracefully, and their talent was unmatched. The music added a romantic, emotional, and elegant touch that elevated everything to a whole new level. Communication with the company was excellent. They were quick to respond, always friendly and accommodating, and remained professional and patient — even when unexpected weather challenges came up on the day of the wedding. They were flexible, understanding, and worked with us to make sure everything went smoothly. The quality of the performance was truly a 10 out of 10. Guests were completely blown away, and many told us how unforgettable and moving the ceremony music was. The transitions between songs were smooth and perfectly timed. I would 100% recommend this company to any couple looking to add something special to their ceremony. They are incredibly talented, professional, punctual, and just a dream to work with. We’re so grateful to have had them be part of our big day — they helped make it feel absolutely magical.

HiMotive Entertainment & Photobooth did a great job keeping our wedding reception fun and upbeat. While their communication was a bit delayed leading up to the event, they were ultimately effective in executing on the day-of. The DJ kept the party going all night with a good song selection, though they did play 3 Taylor Swift songs in a row at the start, which we would have preferred more variety. The MC's ad-libs got a little overbearing at times, but overall they did a nice job sticking to the schedule and making important announcements. We'd recommend HiMotive to other couples looking for an energetic DJ.

The photographer, videographer, and photo booth was absolutely perfect and our guests had a blast! However, even after going through the work of submitting a Spotify play list and adding do not play songs or DJ played the wrong version of our first dance song (I checked and we had the correct version listed on our playlist we sent over), he also played songs from our do not play list to the point I, the bride, came over to ask if he had the wrong list. He admitted he was using songs from the do not play list as he was not paying attention. I would also like to note, though our wedding was more casual, our DJ was dressed in a sloppy manner. His shirt was half untucked from his pants, there were stains on his shirt and pants. Besides a few hiccups, direct Entertainment was wonderful to work with!

Austin was absolutely amazing! We hired him about a month out from the wedding after our previous guitarist cancelled on us. Despite how last-minute it was, he dove in head-first, learning the music we needed him to learn, accommodating our requests, and being flexible with our questions and changes. The music itself was played so beautifully (it brought my now-husband who never cries to tears!!) and perfectly, it felt like we hired him a year out as opposed to only a month. Thank you, Austin, for stepping in when we needed you and helping make our ceremony that much more special!
