Working with SCE was the best! Kevin is such a fun DJ- his energy, ability to get the party started (and keep it going), as well as the vibes he set were perfect for our reception....
Pre-planning meetings were always a blast with him. The photo booth add was also a hit! I'm so glad we added this through SCE cause the book we got to take home with a copy of everyone's photos is a keepsake we will keep forever. Thank you Kevin and SCE for such a fun night!

We could not have asked for a better DJ than Paul Knox for our wedding at the Olde Mill Inn. From our very first meeting, Paul was incredibly personable, attentive, and detail-orie...
nted. He took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and made us feel confident that every aspect of the evening would run smoothly.
Paul nailed everything, from incorporating our must-play songs to expertly MC’ing the exact flow of events we had envisioned. His familiarity with the Olde Mill Inn and many of our vendors made planning and coordination even easier, which helped take a lot of stress off our shoulders.
Most importantly, he kept the dance floor packed all night long. One of the things that impressed us most was his range. He kept the energy high through a 90-minute dance set and then seamlessly shifted gears to keep everyone engaged during a second dance set that lasted another 45 minutes. He did an excellent job reading the room, mixing across different styles and generations, and keeping guests of all ages on the dance floor. Paul was also a fantastic hype man, bringing energy and excitement without ever making himself the center of attention.
He was flexible, professional, and genuinely invested in making our wedding a success. We would absolutely recommend Paul to anyone planning a wedding or special event, and we’d hire him again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Paul, for helping make our wedding such an incredible night!

We attended a wedding in 2024 and were SO impressed with the DJ, that it stuck with us when it was our turn to start planning. We reached out to the groom to find out who he booked...
with -- he directed us to SCE Event Group. We are so grateful that we asked because we had an AWESOME experience with DJ Chris Obando and SCE.
Our consultation meeting with Chris was wonderful - he was warm & charismatic, organized, and very professional. It was clear that he was great at his job. It was an easy 'YES' from us.
Moving forward with booking SCE was very straightforward and streamlined, which helped make the planning process much less stressful. We really appreciated that they offer so many additional services (i.e lighting add-ons, photobooth, etc), and that all those services were explained on their Youtube channel (so helpful!). Anytime we had a question or decided to add an addition service, we received a response quickly and our contract was promptly updated. We never worried about things falling through the cracks.
Our Timeline meeting with Chris a few weeks before the wedding was very exciting - He helped guide us through the flow of the evening. We felt so supported in any & all of our decisions, like nothing could go wrong.
Fast forward to our wedding day: surprise, surprise - nothing went wrong! Everything was perfect. Chris and his assistant Anthony ensured the night went as smoothly as possible! Chris checked in with us periodically to make sure we had enough time to eat and drink water (thank you Chris!!) before moving onto the next part of the program. His energy was IMMACULATE. He hyped everyone up and he kept the dance floor FULL. When we say 'FULL' we mean it. The amount of people who said they were too busy dancing to remember to take photos of the night... We knew we loved him, but all of our guests left our reception loving him too.
We had an amazing time, it was exactly how we hoped our wedding would turn out.
Thank you Chris, Anthony, and SCE for everything! We will always, always, always recommend you to friends and family & we hope we find a reason to work with you again!

g and stress-free. SCE Event Group is extremely organized, structured, and easy to work with from start to finish. Communication was always quick and easy, and Paul was always available whenever we had questions or ideas. They also coordinated seamlessly with our venue, which made the entire day run so smoothly.
From all of the behind-the-scenes planning to the day of the wedding, Paul made sure everything was exactly how we envisioned it. He brought such high energy and an amazing personality that made everyone feel comfortable and excited all night long. He got personal with our families and bridal party, kept everyone laughing, and had our guests on the dance floor the entire night while making everything flow perfectly.
The music was amazing from start to finish — ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. He played everything we requested and completely nailed the vibe we wanted. The lighting package was also very well done and added so much to the atmosphere of the reception. We also loved how much he genuinely cares about his couples — even taking photos with us and sharing our special day on his social media.
Overall, this is hands down one of the best DJ companies around. The pricing was very reasonable for the quality and experience they provide, and we are so grateful we chose them for our wedding!

Our main goal was to keep the dance floor filled all night long, and Jeff delivered beyond our expectations. We had a really diverse crowd with guests of all different ages, but he knew exactly how to read the room. Everyone was up and dancing, and we are still hearing from our guests about how incredible the music was. If you want a top-notch DJ, hire Jeff—we cannot recommend him enough!!

- Communicative about expectat...
ions
- High energy without being abrasive
- Knew exactly how to read the room and keep the dance floor active
- Made some on-the-fly edits to the bride's entrance song which went completely unnoticed by me (I'm very picky about hearing jarring edits!)
Besides Kevin and Teddie being absolute winners, SCE made it a very easy experience to book. We filled out a detailed online form to shape the wedding day experience, and it worked out perfectly for us. It offered a great balance between having control and also letting the professionals do what they do best.
I would book them again in a heartbeat!

Jason Jani from SCE Event Group was hands down one of the best decisions Jessica and Kyle made for their wedding on April 18th 2026 at Clark’s Landing Yacht Club.
As we all kno...
w, music can make or break a party and Jason absolutely nailed it. From the ceremony music, where every detail was perfectly on point and exactly how Jessica envisioned it, to the incredible mix of music for our crowd throughout the night, everything was flawless. The dance floor was packed the entire evening!
From the moment we hired Jason, he made us feel like this was the only wedding he was focused on. He spent so much time with Jessica and Kyle, making sure every detail was perfect, and you could truly see how much he cared about making their special day unforgettable. He told them it was an honor to be chosen to be part of such an important moment, and that genuine passion showed in every aspect of his work.
Jason is professional on every level, incredibly talented, and truly cares about his clients. If you want an amazing time and someone who will go above and beyond to make your event unforgettable, I highly recommend Jason Jani and SCE Event Group.
When the day comes for one of my other children to get married, there’s no question, we’ll be calling Jason first.
Thank you, Jason, for helping create such an amazing and unforgettable night! 💕🎶✨

this is your guy. I had numerous guests come up to me and tell me how they loved the music, it was a little bit of everything, that is exactly what we wanted. The groom and myself have two little daughters that were apart of our wedding. I asked Seth if he can play a message our 23 month old made before she walked down the aisle. He was able to combine all the clips I gave him, and made it such a special moment. Thank you SCE and Seth for being apart of our special day and making memories with us. If you want an unforgettable night book with this company!

nsparent. One of my favorite things about Chris (there are many), was that he was willing to share his honest feedback about how to structure the night. He truly cared about us and guided us to crafting a perfect experience for our guests. The lighting they brought? INSANE. At one point, one of my guests shared “it looks like you have the northern lights on your ceiling!”
The way Chris mixed the music was seamless; he paired songs together perfectly and always kept our guests moving. He was so authentic, and his energy made you want to dance all night long. I cannot imagine our wedding day without him and the SCE team.
Truly, if you aren’t using SCE at your wedding … what are you doing? Call them up now and book Chris!!

They handle all of the details for you and were always extremely responsive. They brought the energy, the fun, the elegance, and kept the party moving all night. If I could give him 6 stars I would!!

Jason Cohen was our DJ for our wedding and he knocked it out of the park! We found him through a friend who had been a guest at a wedding he DJ’d a few years back; she said he was ...
the best DJ she had experienced so we decided to reach out to him and we are so glad we did.
Hiring Jason was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. The energy and dancing was spectacular the whole night and the dance floor was full. Many of our guests remarked that it was the best party they’ve ever been to! It was such a pleasure to work with Jason, as well as Levi, who was the amazing DJ for our after party and kept the energy up through the last song!
Jason Cohen was excellent to work with from start to finish: professional, down-to-earth, responsive, a great listener, friendly… we were able to put all of our trust in him and just let go and enjoy the night.
Everyone should hire Jason Cohen! He is the best! Thank you, Jason!

I had an amazing experience with SCE Entertainment! DJ Christian was hands down the best! He really took the time to understand what we were looking for and executed it flawlessly!...
The dance floor was packed all night and we had so many guests comment on how great the music selection was. I highly recommend booking with SCE Entertainment- you won’t be disappointed!

Seth was hands down the most incredible DJ we could have asked for. After meeting with so many DJ vendors who gave absolutely zero care about what we actually wanted and were only ...
interested in upselling every possible add-on, finding Seth felt like a breath of fresh air. From our very first meeting, he felt less like a vendor and more like extended family. Seth's energy was contagious and immediately put me at ease. He genuinely listened to our vision and took the time to understand what mattered to us. We gave him a musical background that was all over the map, literally everything from country to EDM and he seamlessly wove it all together into the perfect wedding playlist. His read on the room throughout the night was absolutely incredible. We were able to put our complete faith in him, and he delivered beyond our wildest expectations.
Beyond Seth's amazing work, I also want to take a moment to thank Jason Jani and the entire SCE staff. We had a small hiccup with our final payment due to the winter storms here in Jersey, and it didn't reach them on time. I was absolutely stressed about it. I always put my reputation first, and not getting payment in on time felt like such a poor reflection on myself and my family. But Jason handled everything directly with my parents when I was unable to, and he went above and beyond to calm my nerves and reassure me that exactly why I had picked them. He never once made me feel badly about the situation, which meant so much to me during an already emotional time. His entire team was so lovely and understanding as we worked through coordinating everything. They have the most stealth dry ice guy on earth. Seriously, I never once saw him move through the room during our first dance, and neither did any of our guests. He was like a ninja, completely invisible yet making absolute magic happen. That level of discretion made the dancing on clouds experience that much more immersive and special. We were able to stay completely in the moment without any distractions. It felt like pure movie magic, and the photos turned out absolutely stunning. It's those little details and that level of professionalism that really set them apart. SCE has earned our loyalty for life. They will be our only choice for DJs at every celebration from here on out. If you want a team that truly cares about you and your day, look no further!

Where do I even begin. Jeff Scott Gould is hands down the best DJ ever. Full stop. From the start of the planning process, Jeff was incredibly available, thoughtful, and fun to bra...
instorm with. He truly understood our vision and helped bring it to life.
We also hired a saxophonist, Art, through SCE, and in collaboration with Jeff, they created an absolutely epic bridal party entrance led by the sax player—one of the most talked-about moments of the night. From there on, Jeff kept the dance floor going all night long. He seamlessly mixed in our unique requests, including a DMB mix, a full “girl anthems” set, and pop-punk, while keeping everyone dancing—from our bridal party to my grandma.
Music was one of the most important parts of our wedding, and Jeff, Art, and SCE exceeded every expectation. We cannot recommend them more highly.

We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ for our wedding! SCE is truly the best of the best. From the very beginning, Jason was incredibly easy to work with and made the entire proce...
ss stress-free. We knew we were in good hands the whole time and that we could trust him to handle everything, which let us actually relax and enjoy our day. He gave us great advice throughout the entire process which ensured that us and our guests had the best time. His guidance proved invaluable.
At the reception, he absolutely nailed the atmosphere. He kept the energy up and the dance floor packed all night long, making sure everyone was having a great time. Looking back at our photos, you can literally see how much fun everyone was having as the dance floor was full from start to finish!
If you’re looking for a DJ who is professional, reliable, and knows how to keep the party going, we HIGHLY recommend him. He played a huge part in making our wedding such an unforgettable celebration. As I said in my thank you speech, Jason Jani is not only the best DJ in the world, he's the best in the galaxy!

y our last prep call, it felt like we were good friends. He's super easy going, fun, and knows how to keep your dancefloor bumpin all night long. We gave Kevin a few songs we wanted played during our reception dinner and said if there was additional time they should play whatever they thought guests would like. Teddi played Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls to wrap up dinner and the whole room was singing along. It was one of my favorite moments of the reception. We can't recommend this awesome duo enough!

AVOID SCE EVENT GROUP / DJ PAUL KNOX AT ALL COSTS
It pains me to write this as we loved all our other vendors, but I would like to ensure that no one else has to experience the dis...
respect and awful service that we received from SCE Event Group that we received leading up to, on, and after our wedding.
Our problems were in three areas:
1. DISRESPECT: Throughout our planning calls, our DJ consistently made gendered comments that made us uncomfortable. During our reception, he made sarcastic comments about our choreographed first dance and our parents’ and MOH/best man speeches. He also cut me off during my husband’s and my’s thank you remarks.
2. LACK OF ATTENTION TO DETAIL: When reviewing the songs we sent for our parent’s entrance songs, he asked us to differentiate between two very different songs from the artist we sent. Admittedly, it was not in his native language, but all he had to do was listen to the first 5 seconds of each (which had incredibly different intros..) and match the characters in the song title. We didn’t think this would be too much for a professional DJ to handle considering recognizing music and beats is a core part of his job? He also the venue name wrong while MCing our reception.
3. DISREGARD OF PLANNING & FEEDBACK: Our biggest issue. We spent a long time before the wedding filling out SCE’s portal detailing the music and vibe we wanted. We spent hours planning / reviewing our selections with our DJ (4 different calls ~45 minutes each) and were taken aback at how little of that planning surfaced during our reception. The DJ started our second dance set with a slow dance for our guests to join in– something we explicitly indicated we didn’t want as we had widowed relatives that would feel left out. My husband and I separately went up to the DJ to tell him to cut the slow song ASAP, but when we asked, he told each of us “when I’m done with this song”. This behavior repeated itself throughout the night as the DJ deviated from the agreed upon musical styles we requested. Both my husband and I as well as members of our wedding party went up to DJ Paul Knox to request other songs / tell him to move on, but we were told by him “we’ll have time for that later” – we were still getting these comments 45 minutes before the end of our reception. It genuinely felt like we were in a tug-of-war with our DJ to get the music we selected and discussed to be played at our wedding.
After the wedding, we had a call with the founder of SCE Event Group (Jason Jani), to express our disappointment with Paul Knox the services. During the call Jason seemed apologetic and said that he will check with Paul but that he would “fully refunded us, even if out of my own pocket, if necessary” (his words). When we heard this we were impressed and appreciated a business righting its wrongs.
After this conversation, we got an email from Jason that after review of the playlist and “footage showing an engaged crowd and a full dance floor” (which was true because we tried to make the best of bad situation, with us / our wedding party dragging as many people as they could on the dance floor), he denied offering a full refund, stated that they would only offer a 50% refund with the caveat that we could not share our negative experience anywhere. We decided that we would rather not take the money so we could speak the truth about our terrible experience and prevent anyone else from having their special day ruined by SCE Event Group.

DJ Bobby is the absolute best! Bobby handled everything we threw at him with ease, from having Santa make an appearance to handing out Christmas light necklaces, hats, glow sticks,...
and even blow-up candy canes. We wanted our wedding to be an event that everyone would remember for years to come, and Bobby made that happen. Since our wedding was the week before Christmas, he incorporated the perfect amount of Christmas music without overdoing it. DJ Bobby was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding, and we couldn’t be happier.

of experience under his belt. Jason was attentive to our planning needs throughout the process, he made himself available as needed, and he found the perfect balance of really listening to what we wanted and taking the time to get to know us personally, while also guiding us and offering excellent suggestions as we crafted together what ended up being the absolutely perfect night. The music and dance party was a very important part of the night to us and Jason went above and beyond to deliver exactly what we were hoping for. Our guests shared that Jason was the best wedding DJ they've ever experienced and everyone was up on the dance floor having a blast from the very first song. We also added the Photo Booth, which our guests had a ton of fun with. Jason's team was professional and friendly. Jason delivered the perfect balance of energy, song choice, and fun. 12/10 would recommend partnering with Jason and SCE Event Group! He rocked!!

ay, everything flowed seamlessly — the ceremony music, cocktail hour vibes, and reception energy were all perfectly timed and executed.
The dance floor was packed all night long. Paul read the room so well, mixed songs effortlessly, and played the perfect balance of crowd-pleasers, throwbacks, and songs that felt so us. Guests of all ages were dancing, and we’re still getting compliments about how fun the music was.
Paul also did an incredible job as an MC — clear, confident, and never overbearing — keeping the night moving smoothly without taking attention away from the moment.
If you want a DJ who is organized, talented, and genuinely cares about making your wedding unforgettable, Paul is the one. Hiring him was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day. Highly, highly recommend!

and it felt like he truly took the time to understand the energy that we wanted for our wedding day. He made the entire process so easy up through the big day and helped make it stress free and fun. He worked with us to include all of the different and special moments that we wanted in our ceremony and in our reception seamlessly from a choreographed dance by our family to a table by table photo dash with our guests. All of our guests absolutely loved the music and said that they could tell that Kevin had a great pulse on what the crowd wanted. We can’t thank him enough for helping make our wedding day perfect!

Jenna the photo booth attendant was great as well, she made sure everything ran smoothly over by the booth. Which is what was needed!
Everything was great, If you are looking for a dj or photo booth I world definitely recommend them, if I have any other party’s in the future they would be my first pick!

Paul was incredibly organized and communicative. He managed our many requests perfectly, including my dad's surprise song choice for our father/daughter dance. Not one beat (pun intended) was missed. My #1 goal for our wedding was a packed dance floor and Paul delivered. He read the crowd and made sure that our guests of all age groups were taken care of. His energy was infectious and all of our guests raved about him! Thanks Paul for making this the most fun day of our lives!

erent companies before SCE Event Group but I knew I wanted Jason for our wedding within the first 5 minutes of our initial meeting. He was just so nice and fun and understood the vibe we were going for (a lot of 2016 college-era music). I had provided him with a playlist of song suggestions for cocktail hour (but honestly probably didn’t need this, I didn’t even notice the music playing) and reception, and he knew exactly how to play to the crowd. We had everyone, from my 14 year old cousins to our 60-70something aunts & uncles out on the dance floor majority of the night. He came up to us a couple times asking for input but other than that he just did his thing :) For example at the end of the night most of our guests were just hanging out enjoying each other's presence and not a lot of people were on the dance floor, did we want to continue with that environment or level up the dance floor? spoiler alert - he leveled up the dance floor and we closed out the night with Mr. Brightside into Closer into A Sky Full of Stars. He truly killed it, we couldn't have asked for a better DJ.

Despite our limited time left, Kevin helped ensure that all of the songs we wanted to hear were played and that we had ample time to dance and have the best night with everyone!!
It was such an honor to have SCE and Kevin be a part of our wedding day!!
