Empire State Events by DJ Romantics

We had a fantastic experience working with Empire State Events for our wedding. Easy to work with, great communication and perfect execution.

DJ TSWAG was phenomenal. Couldn’t have asked for a better DJ for our Middleburgh wedding. He was super accommodating to our guests’ song requests and mixed in our own requests perfectly. Kept the party going. 10/10 would recommend.

Kyle and Evan did an amazing job keeping the party going all night long! The dance floor was full from the first to the last song! They were flexible and extremely helpful! Everyone is still raving about the DJ! Would definitely recommend to anyone hoping to have an amazing, seamless, and fun time!

Our experience with DJ Romantics was fantastic. Wyatt was great to work with upfront; booking with their team was simple and the process was clear/transparent. I cannot say enough about Marshall, the DJ and acoustic guitarist who was on-site for our wedding. He was incredible -- flexible, attentive, and exceeded our expectations across the board. At one point, Marshall even asked us what we were drinking and brought us drinks from the bar. Went above and beyond to make this such a special event. Cannot rave enough!

Wyatt from Empire State Events is an absolute rockstar when it comes to DJing! From the moment we started working together, he was attentive, professional, and completely dedicated to making our day unforgettable. He took the time to understand my vision and brought it to life in ways I never imagined. The dance floor was packed from start to finish, and guests are still talking about how much fun they had! Wyatt’s energy and expertise created the perfect atmosphere, and his ability to read the room was flawless. He truly made our wedding night magical. I can’t say enough good things about Wyatt and the entire team at Empire State Events. They are, without a doubt, the best in the Capital Region, and I will absolutely be using them for any future events. If you’re looking for a DJ that will exceed your expectations and keep the party going all night, Wyatt is your guy!

Okay... This is about to be LONG but buckle up and read the whole thing because it is WORTH IT. First things first, I met Wyatt and Thaddeus at a Bridal Expo and from the moment I said I wanted "club vibes," Wyatt recommend Thaddeus. As we talked at the expo and I told Thaddeus my crazy ideas, he supported me and was just as excited, if not more excited, than me. I decided to get a package deal and added on 4 of their other services (cold sparks, dancing on the clouds, CO2 cannons, and the photo booth). BEST DECISION EVER. All of these elements were executed perfectly by Thaddeus, his assistant, and Mackenzie, who ran the photo booth for us. The entire planning process was so easy. The portal allows you to suggest songs, fill in information about you and your spouse, schedule meetings, make payments, and more. Thaddeus was always readily available when I requested a meeting and gave amazing suggestions for the songs we needed to select for entrances, parent dances, etc. He was always enthusiastic and made sure that I felt his excitement for our special day. Mackenzie also went out of her way to check in on me throughout the process and even sent pictures from other weddings so I could decide on a photo booth backdrop. When I first started the planning process online, the company was under their old name - “Dj Romantics.” Throughout my wedding planning process, they developed their new LLC “Empire State Events.” The transition? SEAMLESS. Wyatt sent clear emails and communicated the change so effectively. If I had any questions, Wyatt was sure to get back to me the same day, often within a few minutes. This goes to show the absolute professionalism and organization of this amazing company. I heard from over 20 people that my wedding was the “best wedding ever” and when I asked why, every person mentioned the music and the add-ons we had from Empire State Events. The CO2 cannons and cold sparks were big hits and the dancing on the clouds made for some stunning photographs. This team was always professional and we truly had so much fun working with them on our wedding day. When something went a little sideways and I had to change plans at the last minute, Thaddeus assured me we would work it out and Plan B ended up being the perfect solution. One of our favorite parts of the day was our private first dance at the top of the mountain. Thaddeus came to the top with us and set up his speaker. When he tested the speaker, we had a mini jam session and the photographer captured some of the most fun pictures of the entire day. This was a highlight for sure!! I can not say enough amazing things about the entire team at Empire State Events. They truly brought all of the fun and amazing vibes. They highly contributed to the best day of our lives and I look forward to working with them again for future events.

We can’t say enough about how great Wyatt and his team were at our big day. They pulled the party out, and so many of our guests commented on how they have never seen a dance floor so crowded for the entire night… even our photographer said the same! One of the best decisions we ever made was hiring them to DJ our big day. You won’t regret it!

I can not say enough good things about Wyatt and Kyle and coming to the rescue of my recent wedding!!! These guys went above and beyond to make my husband's and my special day absolutely perfect!!!! Kyle did a FANTASTIC job in live mixing the day of and really making sure that we were happy. They are absolutely an amazing DJ company that really focuses on making those special moments even better. Thank you all again for making our day sooooo perfect!!

Wyatt and his team were absolutely amazing to work with! They are extremely organized in how they do business, from the planning portal to setting up calls. He wants to make sure his couples get exactly what they’re looking for and that the music played is personal to them, which I really appreciated! We were able to provide our own playlists for cocktail hour and dinner, but for dancing he knew just what to play to get everyone on the dance floor and made sure the night flowed seamlessly! All of our guests also loved the photobooth, we highly recommend adding it on! We could not thank them enough for going above and beyond for our day, they were the best!!!

We married on August 10th, 2024, and had Thaddeus/DJ Swag as our DJ. Most weddings I have had the privilege to attend their DJs tend to be over the top. I did not want my wedding music to sound like a radio DJ. Thaddeus and his team had multiple check-ins with me throughout the wedding process. Empire State Events paid close attention to the small details, which made my wedding run smoothly. Music was everything I wanted and imagined. For example, as my bridal party was walking down the aisle I got nervous because the song ended and a couple of people still needed to walk down the aisle. Thaddeus and his team made a smooth transition you couldn't even notice that the song ended. The attention to this small detail is a quality you need in a DJ. Hands down the best DJ team around. Their aesthetic is professional, fun, and fresh. Their equipment is up-to-date and modern. I had lots of compliments on how great the DJs and music were.

If you want to have an amazing wedding, you have to hire amazing vendors. Kyle and Cody from Empire State Events are just that and made our party pop! They really know how to cater to a multi-generational crowd while incorporating our requests - they keep things lively, know how to play to the room they're in, and are so accommodating and awesome. Empire State Events as a company was so easy to work with every step of the way. Highly recommend!

I’ve always said that I wanted my wedding to be a big dance party with everyone I love, and it was that and more. Wyatt was the life of the party and kept people on the dance floor ALL night. We got comments like we have never seen so many people dancing on the dance floor at a wedding and especially for the whole night. Wyatt was extremely thorough, organized and responsive throughout the whole process and wanted to check in to make sure we had everything we wanted and the day would go down perfect. We had full trust in him. We highly recommend Empire State events for ANY event that you want to be remembered forever.

Wyatt did a fantastic job taking control of the night-ceremony, announcing entrances, speeches and keeping the dance floor packed the entire night! Everyone had a blast! We had a lot of people ask who the DJ was and say he was amazing! Thank you Wyatt!

We got married in June 2024 in Albany, NY. Wyatt and his team did an amazing job coordinating the cold sparklers with or DJs, Eric and Dillon, from Experience Events. Empire State Events were very easy to work with. They provided our wedding with the pizzaz we were looking for! The cold sparklers were a hit and the absolute perfect touch to our entrance, first dance, and dance floor party! They helped keep the dance floor lively and packed all night long!

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!

We can't say enough good things about Wyatt, Kyle, and Justin at Empire State Events. They truly went above and beyond to make our wedding day unforgettable. Two weeks before our day, our original DJ cancelled on us. In a moment of panic, we reached out to Wyatt and his team, and they stepped in seamlessly, turning what could have been a disaster into a fantastic experience. From our initial contact, their communication was top-notch. Wyatt and his team were responsive, attentive, and genuinely concerned about ensuring everything was perfect for us. This gave us great peace of mind and confidence as our wedding approached. On the day of our event, Kyle and Justin did an exceptional job as our MC and DJ. They not only kept the energy high and the crowd engaged (Kyle freestyling at one point!) but also went the extra mile to check in with us and see if we needed anything. We highly recommend Empire State Events!

My husband and I got married 6/14/24 at Glen Sanders Mansion and Wyatt and his whole team were incredible from start to finish. From the moment we booked with them he was so responsive and helpful with the planning process. The day of everything was executed flawlessly from the entrance songs, to bridal party intros and most importantly the reception music! After a few classics for our older guests I told him to let loose and he did not disappoint! The dance floor was full all night. I got so many compliments on the party and vibe of the reception and all credit goes to Wyatt and co! 10/10 would recommend over and over again! Also the Photo Booth was a hit and it was so sweet we received a book with a copy of everyone’s Photo Booth pictures. I’ll never forget this night!

Wyatt is one of the most detailed, open, and communicative people we had the pleasure of working with for our wedding. His website/portal was user friendly and allowed for collaboration on a very diverse collection of music. Not only did he allow for a stress free, outrageously fun, and perfect wedding, we feel like we had a connection beyond that of client/vendor. Dude is only going to continue to grow in this event world, get him while you still can!!

Working with Kyle and the DJ romantics team for our wedding last month was the best decision we made! Their support and follow ups were so helpful, their website is simple and easy for the day of layout, and they truly cared about making the day go as we envisioned. They even worked back and forth with us to edit a song to make it perfect. On top of our anmazing experience leading up, their performance on the day was BEYOND exceptional. Kyle so kindly helped us when we had a minor issue, then the dance floor was fire all night, and they matched the crowds atmosphere, which made it the absolute best night ever! Additionally, their photo booth was absolutely perfect, again better than we could have asked for with the top notch technology. We still get guests telling me what a blast they had, and the DJ Romantics team made this happen. We recommend them to any and all weddings/events, you won’t be disappointed!

Empire State Events team was great to work with, they were supper friendly and very engaging. We worked a Bridal Expo event at ProvidenceBarn in Fort Plain NY and they kept everyone going with their variety of music. I am Latina and definitely appreciate when DJs add Spanish music to their mix. I’d definitely recommend them for your special event!

Wyatt and his team did such a wonderful job with our company holiday party! Their energy was infections and the music was on-point - they had everyone dancing and celebrating all night long! They brought lights and additional speakers to really help tie the event together. They were extremely organized, communicated with us and answered all of our questions. Would definitely recommend using them for your next event!

Oh boy, literally stop your search and get Wyatt and his team for your wedding. I can literally not say enough amazing things about the music AND the extra things he did for my wedding. I had my wedding in Hudson, NY in October, it rained, as it did every weekend of the fall. The buses were an hour late, so now we were an hour late. Wyatt was so easy going and said he will do whatever needs to be done to get his stuff done and make it a great party. He definitely did that! He had basically the entire wedding out on the dance floor the whole night. There was never a song that made people sit down. He and his assistant were behind the DJ stand dancing along, it was such a great night. There was even a Conga line started on the dance floor because everyone was having such a blast. Aside from the actual music at my wedding, Wyatt was the first vendor to come up to our table, check in on us and get us some drinks. He made us feel so special, we just can't thank him enough. Secondly, there was some confusion on the order of happening at the wedding, and Wyatt was the only one to come up to me and ask "what do you want to have happen, because I'll make that happen" and he did. My final note, though I could go on forever, is that the Tuesday before my wedding, we had a meeting set up with Wyatt. I was complaining to my, now, husband about how I didn't have time for this meeting and I had a million other things to be doing and I was so overwhelmed. My husband said we gotta do it and we will get right back into the organizing after. We hopped on the call, and that was probably the most relaxing night I had that whole week. Wyatt calmed my nerves so much, without even knowing it. We talked through the bridal party line up, the timing of everything, even that didn't include him, and he gave us all of the advice he had and made it feel FUN again. I'm telling you, Wyatt was more than just someone who plays music at a wedding, he made the whole event so personalized, and added our own music taste to it. We had so many people tell us how much they enjoyed the wedding, food, AND especially music. Book him now and I promise you won't regret it because I definitely don't.

We are so happy with our music from Thaddeus. We found the music very important, and we had been creating a Spotify playlist for over a year leading up the wedding, and Thaddeus was great at going through the music and compiling it into a great transition between everything. We didn’t have to worry about anything as they seamlessly worked with the even coordinator at our venue to insure music was in the area they knew guests would congregate in since it was rather cold outside on the day of our wedding. We also got the package to include set up for the ceremony, and the mics and speakers used worked wonderfully. All of our guests were able to hear us perfectly. We even had a small broken beer bottle accident on the dance floor, and Thaddeus and Justin were so quick at getting help to get it cleaned up while still keeping the party going with dancing go on the other side of the floor. We truly appreciated their professionalism, ability to think and adapt on the fly, and help keep the party going while there were some small hiccups during the day. 100% would guarantee for your next event!

We had Wyatt as our DJ for our wedding and he was great! He kept the party going with great music and we couldn’t have been happier. He’s also very personable. The online portal was a great feature that allowed us to put in songs that were must plays as well as songs we didn’t want to hear etc. We also got the social photo booth which all of our guests raved about because it was so much fun!

We can not express enough gratitude and appreciation for DJ Romantics and his entire team during our wedding. From the initial planning stages to the execution on the big day, every aspect of their service was top-notch. During the planning process,Wyatt showed a high level of professionalism and commitment. His communication was prompt, clear, and efficient, which made it easier for us to make decisions and coordinate the details. He was also incredibly flexible, accommodating our specific requests and making valuable suggestions based on his vast experience in the industry. On the day of the wedding, his performance was nothing short of phenomenal. Wyatt had an uncanny ability to read the mood of the crowd and adjust the music accordingly. With an eclectic mix of classic hits and modern tracks, he ensured that the dance floor was never empty. His energy was infectious, and it played a significant role in creating an unforgettable atmosphere. The photobooth was another highlight of their service. It added a fun and interactive element to our reception, keeping our guests entertained throughout the evening. The quality of the photos was excellent, and we loved how they captured some of the most spontaneous and joyful moments of our special day. The props provided were also varied and amusing, adding to the overall enjoyment of the experience. In conclusion, I cannot recommend DJ Romantics services highly enough. Their team is professional, reliable, and talented. If you are seeking a DJ or photobooth service for your event, look no further than. They will undoubtedly make your event memorable, just like they did ours. P.S. Get the Cold Spark add-on! So fun, they looked great, and it really hyped up the crowd!! Thank you Wyatt and your team for making our day truly unforgettable!

Wyatt and his team were the best addition to our wedding day! From the start, Wyatt was so organized which helped us feel at ease when planning. He was always open and honest with feedback during our planning sessions which we appreciated. He was always quick to respond to any questions we had and made us feel comfortable every step of the way. The online planning portal made it easy to plan out the day and work together with Wyatt to create the perfect vision for our wedding. Wyatt brought great energy to our wedding day and did an awesome job incorporating all of the songs we wanted and with the best timing too. His personality was the perfect fit for our day-both fun and professional and we could not have asked for anyone better!

Wyatt and Kyle were the absolute best DJ team we could have hoped for to make our wedding phenomenal! Their planning portal was easy to use and helped us stay organized while planning our wedding. The photo booth that they set up for us was a big hit and super fun! As for the wedding as a whole, Wyatt and Kyle crushed it. The music was incredible and our guests were on the dance floor all night! I can't tell you how many compliments and good things were said about DJ Romantics and their services. My husband and I are so grateful for all that Wyatt did for us before and during our wedding and we would recommend him 100% to anyone who needs a DJ for their event!

In the words of my husband, Wyatt is the man. If you want everyone at your event to tell you the DJ was awesome, go with Wyatt! We hired Wyatt for our wedding at the Maples Estate. From the first initial calls, he was easy to work with and very professional. The planning portal was so easy to use and really helped us think through all the musical elements of our wedding as we were planning. By the time we got to meet Wyatt in person, it felt like seeing an old friend. The music from the ceremony, to cocktail hour to the reception were uniquely different and absolutely perfect. I felt like he did such a good job reading the room, representing our tastes in music, getting everyone dancing and the mixes! The live mixes were awesome! Everyone complimented us on picking an excellent DJ and we agree! We also added on the photo booth which was a hit! Thank you Wyatt for being so awesome to work with and making our wedding so amazing!

DJ Romantics provided a photo booth for our wedding day and it was amazing! Mackenzie did a fabulous job getting our guests to enjoy all the props she had available. We all enjoyed the fun and now have wonderful keepsakes from our special day!! Great job highly recommended!!

From the start, Wyatt stood out as an excellent professional and fantastic DJ! When I initially reached out via email, Wyatt called me within the hour to discuss my vision for the wedding. Wyatt remained very communicative throughout the wedding planning process. He was very helpful and supportive through all of our meetings and offered many suggestions that really helped make our wedding successful. Wyatt is a seasoned pro when it comes to weddings and he knows how to structure them to work best for the couple and their guests! Wyatt's online planning tool was very helpful for requesting songs and helping us consider our music choices for each stage of the evening. My biggest goal for my wedding was to have the dance floor packed for the whole night, and Wyatt delivered! Our wedding was SO much fun and all of my guests have commented on how much fun they had dancing at the wedding! Wyatt even kept my very traditional 93 year old grandmother dancing on the floor for the ENTIRE evening, up until the last song! There were so many people dancing, we ran out of room on the dance floor! Not only was Wyatt an excellent DJ, but he was a wonderful MC who kept the energy high in a very cool and classic way! He is thorough, thoughtful, professional and a calm presence -- exactly the type of person/vendor you want supporting you on your wedding day!

DJ Romantics was absolutely amazing. We are so happy we hired him and his team for our wedding. The dance floor was always packed and so many of our guests said it was the best DJ for any wedding they have been to. We couldn’t agree more!

A great DJ is the key to a good party and Wyatt definitely delivered! He kept the crowd hyped all night and played great remixes. Our guests are still talking about how great our Dj was. His music was so awesome that he had my grandma dancing on a chair. Not to mention, my favorite part of the night- he had a platform for me (the bride) to stand on to sing Taylor Swift with the crowd. Every Swiftie’s dream! Do yourself a favor and book Dj Romantics for your next event. You won’t regret it!

Wyatt really made our wedding day so fun and memorable. Everyone was on the dance floor the entire night and all of our guests LOVED the digital photo booth. It was so cool to be able to look back on all the pictures after the wedding. Everything from his announcements, to the reception, dinner and ceremony music was so spot on and exactly what we wanted for our day. He made himself available to us for as many meetings we wanted prior to the wedding to be sure he understood exactly what our vibe and vision was for the night. He was very professional and so great to work with! My husband and I cannot recommend DJ Romantics enough for your wedding day!

I can’t even express into words how absolutely amazing Wyatt is. He has one of the best personalities with such a positive energy/vibe and is so easy to click with! He never gave up on us even when this indecisive bride changed her venue and date 3 times (lol sorry Wyatt). On our wedding my Wedding Coordinator was just awful and Wyatt & his assistant were so awesome communicating with my other vendors to ensure my husband and I had a stress free night, honestly I don’t know what we would’ve done with out him. Now for his talent….. AMAZING!!!! My guests were all on the dance floor at one point just having so much fun. Brides: if you can’t dance in your dress def have a second danceable dress/outfit/shoes on hand because I promise you’ll be dancing your beautiful heart out the whole night!!! I loved the way he interacted with our guests and it was just so awesome to see him having so much fun as well. You can tell he’s so passionate about what he does and honestly I could go on and on, just hire him I promise you will NOT be disappointed!!! (:

DJ Wyatt and his team did an awesome job! They were incredible, all of our guests were complimenting them throughout the night. Wyatt worked with us pre wedding to make sure all of our questions were answered and gave us 100% trust that his team would deliver. They kept everyone on the dance floor the entire night while mixing songs together perfectly and always kept the party going. I’d highly recommend Wyatt and his team to anyone

DJ Romantics saved my wedding! No joke I contacted him the night before my wedding after my original DJ ghosted me and Wyatt was able to move some things around and be my DJ. He made time to hop on a call with me and talk through my vision for the wedding and he MADE 👏🏼IT👏🏼HAPPEN👏🏼 He threw a ranger of a party and even let my husband sing and perform a musical theater song with one of his groomsmen during the reception 😂 I’m low key kind of happy that my old DJ ghosted me because I was able to have one of the best DJs ever!! I definitely recommend booking with him. You will not be disappointed!

A total professional from beginning to event. Wyatt did everything we asked and more. He created the perfect atmosphere for our event. Highly recommend

Picking a DJ was very difficult due to us getting married 5+ hours away. We took a chance with DJ Romantics and he blew us away. He brought the energy from the moment the event started and everyone had an amazing time. Music selection was great and tailored to what we wanted as a couple. DJ Romatics was great at communicating and making sure our special day was exactly how we wanted. He was very personable and professional. I recommend him to anyone getting married in the upstate NY area!

I hired Wyatt for my wedding and was more than impressed. Aside from playing some great music and getting the party going, he really paid attention to detail, like showing me specific studies on the importance of music at weddings, having a cool, sleek setup, providing a Photo Booth, etc. Pricing was fair and he made the day special while being pleasant to work with. Highly recommend!

DJ Romantics was the best!! Super energetic and got everyone out on the dance floor!

DJ Wyatt Roberts was phenomenal! He worked with us to create the perfect timeline and communicated with us throughout the wedding to make sure it flowed perfectly. His platform is user-friendly and is designed to ensure he plays all of your favorite songs. His modern photo booth was a huge hit too! Our guests loved taking pictures and everyone loved that they have access to all the photos. We highly recommended Wyatt! Amazing job!!

Wyatt was amazing from start to finish, he was so easy to work with and went over the details with us to make sure it was exactly the energy we wanted for the night. He also did the music and mics for our ceremony which went off so smoothly. He had the dance floor packed all night, playing great music that we had shared with him on a playlist but also blending it/mixing it so it felt like a party which is what we wanted for the reception. Book DJ Romantics if you want a DJ who takes the time to get to know you so your night feels exactly how you want it to!

Wyatt and his team were amazing. From booking until the end, we were able to reach out and ask any questions. He guided us through the process of planning our ceremony and reception, and I trusted him to play music that everyome would like. He surely delivered! Our guest loved the selection and danced all night!

Wyatt has dj’d at a variety of our school events including our back to school picnic, Spring Fling and Fourth Grade Sendoff/Graduation. He has done an outstanding job and went above and beyond to engage our students, entertain the audience and elicit participation. He was always professional, timely and responsive to our needs. He is flexible and adapts to any changes that come his way. I would highly recommend him and look forward to working with him for years to come. He’s the best!

DJ Romantics was amazing from start to finish! His professionalism and attention to detail are 2nd to none. We even requested a couple songs that some may consider taboo and he did his best to work them in. I cannot give enough praise to Wyatt and what he did for us on our Special Day!

Amazing music knowledge and personality. Able to fill the Dancefloor and keep people engaged. Highly recommend!

I hired DJ Romantics to DJ an event for me after hearing him at another event. Everything from his musical selection to his personality on the mic is easy on the ears. Makes the event really enjoyable and all of the guests were into each and every song he played. I would hire DJ Romantics for every event if I had the option. You would be remiss not to have him as a part of your big day!
