Events by Cool Cat

We booked Vinny with Cool Cat for our wedding and he kept the party going all night. His son is a fantastic and entertaining dancer and his daughter is an awesome budding photographer that filled our tv add on with wonderful live shots while the event was occurring. We had such a blast and he provided updates while the event was in progress. One minor item to see improvement was the application we used to choose the music. If the application was more mobile friendly, that would be the only thing I’d change. Many times I was on the go and wished that the application saved my password each time I entered into it. Sometimes the spots for notes didn’t line up with the song row. This was minor in comparison to the attention and service that Cool Cat provides. Thank you again for making our day seamless and incorporating all of our crazy song selections.

I cannot recommend Cool Cat and their DJ Dillon highly enough! They were truly the best part of our day. After the wedding, all the guests said that he was the best wedding DJ they had ever heard. He had so much energy and was so enthusiastic that it was impossible not to have a great time. We played a table game which got people up and involved, which was something most people had never done before. Dillon helped us build the perfect timeline and it could not have gone off smoother. He was extremely response and worked with our venue closely. If you want to have a really fun, never sit down because your are dancing all night kind of wedding, Dillon and Cool Cat are the way to go!

Vinny and his son did such an AMAZING job for our wedding!!! We found out about him initially 7+ years ago when we attended our friends wedding and had the best time ever. When we got engaged, we knew immediately we wanted to hire Vinny. He did an amazing job with the music, keeping the guests moving, dancing, and interacting with each other, and was a great MC! Vinny and team are very professional, extremely friendly, organized, and made our special day perfect from the ceremony to end of reception. Thanks again Vinny! We loved your service and will recommend you to everyone!

I cannot recommend Events by Cool Cat enough, our wedding day was absolutely perfect and a total blast! Vinny and his crew really know how to read the room and put on songs that really get everyone up and out of their chairs. All of our guests were so impressed - as were we! Vinny helped to make the planning process seamless and even fun! You will not regret hiring these guys for your event! :)

We cannot say enough about DJ Pauly ! He is absolutely AMAZING, his energy and personality are the best of the best. He was so accommodating to my husband and I and really made our wedding so memorable . His fiancé Olivia is a doll and even interacted with our children in the Photobooth , they loved her ! Thank you so much for these two, they sure are an asset to the company ! AMAZING

Every step and every detail of our experience with Cool Cat was perfect. Vinny knew exactly what he was doing, had great recommendations for ways to entertain during the reception and knew exactly how to get the dance floor going from start to finish. There was not one point in the wedding that the dance floor wasn't full. He was more than willing to meet with us before the wedding to get an idea of what we wanted and then again to finalize our ideas and work on some music ideas for different parts of the day. You can tell he is very passionate about the entire wedding experience and really cares that your day is perfect. The entire experience from requesting a quote, to meetings and the big day was a breeze and would 10/10 recommend Cool Cat and Vinny to anyone looking for a DJ.

If you're looking to have a memorable reception, choose Events by Cool Cat! We selected the Experience Events package, and we're glad we did. We had so many extras, including uplighting and giveaways! Thank you, Mike Peart and Dillon Robert, for making our day amazing!

Events by Cool Cat is the way to go! Mo had us dancing all night long! He was amazing...EVERY SINGLE ONE of our guests commented on not only how amazing Mo was but his music choice and ability to read the crowd were on point! He made a special mix for my father/ daughter dance which was perfect too! I really can't say enough good things about the customer service we were given throughout the process too!

We had a wonderful experience! The DJs were accessible, planning was online and easy, and the wedding music was superb! Guests were dancing all night and said they had a fantastic day:)

Vinny and his team were absolutely fantastic and really know how to read a crowd, he had everybody out on the dance floor all the way until the end of the night. He was also very easy to work with and helped us out a lot with our somewhat complicated traditional Ukrainian introduction/toast ceremony at the start of the reception. We had a hard time finding a DJ at first but I am so glad we ended up with Cool Cat, could not have asked for anything more!

Mike was our DJ/Emcee for the night and he was great. He had the right kind of energy for our party and really got everyone at our wedding on the dance floor. To this day, we still hear about how much fun people had at our wedding!! Along with Mike, we had another DJ at the booth who was awesome as well as two people at our photobooth. The photobooth was great and the photobooth attendent was fabulous as well. He made sure that we felt taken care of throughout the night. He was always checking in to see if we needed a drink or anything he could do to help. The group was fabulous and I would definitely recommend them!

We booked Cool Cat after attending a few weddings they DJ'ed, and we thought, we HAVE to book these guys! We could not have asked for a better DJ. They personalized the whole night to our liking, including music, wedding entrances and kept the whole crowd informed of what was going on during the entire reception. The dance floor was flooded the entire night. We have received compliment after compliment about the energy of our wedding, and I attribute that to the way the Cool Cat team kept the party going. We would book them again if we had the chance!

We cannot thank Mike from events by Cool Cat enough... His professionalism, personality and timeliness made our wedding day better than we could’ve imagined. He knew what type of music to play and when, party starters, and when to slow it down. His shining personality made all of the guests practically run out to the dance floor. Mike and crew were personable, danced with the guests, and Mike even had a dance off with my little brother.. it was perfect. We have been raving about Cool Cat! Great job guys!!

I cannot speak highly enough of the Cool Cat team. My now husband and I went to a wedding in 2015 that Cool Cat was DJing - they were so much fun that three years later we had them at our own wedding. They were very organized and had the whole day planned out before hand. Vince answered all of our questions and helped us think of every last detail. Dan and Vince were amazing DJs! They kept people on the dance floor all night long. I had many people come up to me after the wedding saying that was the most fun wedding they had been to - thank you so much Dan and Vince for making our wedding such a great time!

Dillon and his assistant were great! They really made our wedding! The dance floor was packed the entire night. Highly recommend these guys!

Events by Cool Cat made our wedding everything it was!! We hired them for there Officiant and DJ services. Our officiant/MC Mike Peart was the highlight of the party! He understood exactly what we wanted and delivered it beyond our expectations! They kept guest entertained with games, great music, and amazing personalities! Highly highly recommend there services for any event!

I went with Events by Cool Cats based on separate recommendations from friends, and wasn't disappointed. Our first meeting they went over all the basics, and set up an account for us so we can add, change, delete anything up to a couple days before our wedding. They take their craft seriously, and the DJ/MC they assigned us did a fantastic job! We had many compliments on how good they were. Our DJ - Nick - though is going independent, and was finishing up his contracts with Cool Cats. Cool Cats was a pleasure to work with, and Vinny was super helpful for our big day. Would definitely recommend them to anyone!

We had a great experience with Cool Cats! We were from out of the area from cool cats but we’re still able to plan via FaceTime and email which was great! Vince followed up and kept us on a timeline which was also helpful for final planning! He also combined two songs for our first dance song which was awesome! We also used the photo booth and our guests had a blast! Everything was set up perfectly! Our only downfall was playing all of our must have music, we missed a few songs and I wish I had emphasized that better. My parents announcement walking in to the ceremony was with the wrong name and we paid for up-lighting that was never set up. With all the craziness you never realize these day of so overall everything was great!

We hit the jackpot by hiring Cool Cat!! My wedding was almost 1 month ago, and people are still raving about how amazing the music was and how the DJ was incredible! The price is extremely reasonable compared to all other wedding DJ companies, and the extras they offer are great! We hired Vince jr. and all I can say is.. WOW! Throughout the entire planning process, Vince was so accommodating, great with communication, and truly made my wedding unique to us! We met in person several times, and Vince sat with us and hand picked songs to ensure the music was exactly what we wanted. We wanted a mix of 3 different songs for our first dance, and a special mix for the last song of the night...Vince worked with us for weeks, made several versions of the mixes, and did not stop until they were absolutely perfect! The energy that Vince brought to our wedding was incredible, and you can tell that he truly has a passion for what he does! Our goal was to have an amazing party, and with the help of Vince, we achieved that goal! Music is a VITAL part of an event, especially a wedding, and Cool Cat was nothing short of perfect!! Thank you so much for making our wedding the even that everyone is still talking about!

Adam Fowler and Beau made our wedding FANTASTIC not only did they do an amazing job with the entertainment for our wedding but Adam stayed up with me the night before our wedding helping me pick out the perfect playlist! He went ABOVE AND BEYOND what we had expected a DJ to be like. We had a wide range of ages and he catered to everyone. We would STRONGLY recommend anyone to use their services. Cool Cat Entertainment provided music for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception and every single piece went off without a hitch. If there were any issues they were never brought to our attention and were handled on the spot which as the bride was very important to me. I can't thank them enough or recommend them enough to anyone looking for a DJ.

Cool Cat, We cannot say enough about the amazing job they did! Vinny was outstanding, went above and beyond to make sure our wedding was perfect for us. We had many compliments on our music for the night, and we would recommend them for any occasion!!!!

HIRE COOL CAT!! I can't recommend them enough. We live in the Capital Region, and paid them to travel to Niagara Falls for our wedding after attending several other weddings where they DJ'd. They were an absolute HIGHLIGHT! Paul and Eric were extremely communicative, flexible and FUN to work with. They both went above and beyond to make our day a hit! They were on point with all of our requests, and a huge hit with our guests! On top of that - they lit our outdoor tent and make it look like a night club! I can not say enough good things about them. Our wedding was amazing because of them both! The people at Cool Cat and Experience Events are absolutely born to do what they do. Trust them to make your wedding a hit!! They will not disappoint!!

AWESOME!!! Dillon was great! People raved about him and the Photobooth. I highly recommend!

There are no words to describe how much you need to hire Cool Cat!! They. Made. Our. Wedding! I can’t even tell you how many people have told us or my parents that our wedding was either the MOST fun or one of the best weddings they’ve ever been to. They made our wedding SO much fun and everyone had an absolute blast. I highly recommend requesting Mike P. – he is the best! He is so much fun to work with leading up to the wedding and is hilarious and really keeps your guests into the reception. And he’s not afraid to get himself out there with your guests! We’ve got some great pictures of him rocking out with our friends. We also chose our officiant through Cool Cat – Susan – and she was so great and wrote such a nice ceremony for us. We ALSO used their photobooth and that was a massive hit. I can’t recommend these guys enough. You will not regret this decision one bit. If I could give them a hundred stars I would.

these guys were amazing. The djs Mike and Paul really catered to the crowd. Everyone had such a great time. They both danced with the guests and did some jokes that were requested by my husband. The videographer Gio was so great he was so easy to work with, he got there earlier than I had planned because there were things he knew I wanted captured. I can’t wait to see the video.

We cannot say enough good things about Events by Cool Cat ~ from the very beginning of the planning process to the end of our wedding reception ~ everything was absolutely perfect. When we met with Steven prior to our wedding, he was very friendly, personable and extremely knowledgeable and accommodating. He listened to our wishes and then guided us in making decisions and made the process beyond easy and stress free! On the day of our wedding Steven and Andrew truly made the entire day a huge success. Again, they were both very personable and were "like family" in that they interacted with everyone; knew exactly what music to play and the dance floor was never empty!! Steven's interaction during the garter throwing ceremony was also a highlight. At the end of the reception, we had so many people saying "it's the best wedding I've ever been to - so much fun," "awesome music all day," and also saying what an awesome time they had dancing all night. So, from the bottom of our hearts - we thank Steven & Andrew for helping to make our special day the best it could be. We have already recommended them to anyone that needs a DJ and will continue to do so. Awesome job!! Andrew & Tamara 5-26-18

Vinny and Nick were amazing! They were quick on their feet, had a great feel for the music, and knew what would get people out of their seats. We had 20 year olds dancing, but also grandparents. They are my first call for any future events and I’m certain they’ll have new clients from our guests. I could not have been happier!

We booked Cool Cat for our wedding and they did an amazing job of making sure everything ran super smoothly. Everyone raves about the entertainment and music!

Loved Cool Cat for our wedding!! Great music and everyone including DJ Mike (highly recommend him) were on the dance floor all night. Have nothing but good things to say about them!! If you don't select Cool Cat as your DJ, you will really regret it!

We had the pleasure of getting DJ Eric Whinnery as our wedding DJ from Events by Cool Cat. Eric went above and beyond what we were expecting from our DJ. We met multiple times before the wedding and he not only gave us great planning tips and ideas but also made our meetings fun. He showed up to our rehearsal ceremony at no additional cost so that we could rehearse with our music and iron out details so that our day of went smoothly. He made our wedding so much fun and all of our guests and families kind of fell in love with him! Eric is professional, knowledgeable, and amazing at what he does, and is quick on his feet (like when an old barn can't handle the electricity being used and the music cuts out but he still keeps the energy of the room going!). As if his credentials as a DJ weren't enough, he is just an amazing, fun guy that you will want to become friends with. We can't recommend him strongly enough.

I chose Events by Cool Cat because I had been to weddings that they turned into awesome parties and that's what my husband and I wanted. When we met with Vinny we were sold- we had such great energy in the first meeting and grasped the concept of what we wanted our wedding to be. We used a credit to select our DJ/entertainer. Vinny, knowing what we wanted, had suggested Nick, so we took the suggestion and selected Nick to run the show. When we met with Nick he had so many ideas- fun, emotional, things we had never seen before. We were so excited. For the father- daughter dance, my dad and me have always had a fun relationship and my dad was nervous so Nick suggested we pretend I chose a funny song to dance to before our real song, my dad loved it and it relaxed him! My husband is more emotional towards his mom and Nick and him created an awesome voice over that I am certain had everyone in the room crying. He played games during cocktail hour and the reception and my guests could not get enough. The dance floor was never empty and that's how we wanted it. To Nick and everyone we worked with at Cool Cat- Thank you so much!

Cool Cat was a fantastic company to work with. Our DJ and emcee, Eric, was so incredibly great to work with! They helped us plan every step of the day with their easy to use website. At the event itself, Eric was phenomenal at keeping the energy up. The music was one great song after another - nobody left the dance floor the entire night. We had several comments from our guests saying that this was one of the best DJs they had had at a wedding. The music was exactly what we wanted, which no doubt was as a result of Eric and The Cool Cat team taking the time to get to know us personally. If you choose Cool Cat for your music needs at your wedding, you will not regret it!

The saying "The DJs make the wedding" is so true, and Cool Cat is nothing short of this. Eric and Dillon are absolutely incredible people and will keep your party going all night. They can read the crowd and are able to provide not just DJ services but entertainment better than you can ever imagine. After meeting with them numerous times, we consider them great friends. They went beyond their DJ title and felt like extra members of the wedding party who helped guide the day along with care and as helping hands. Nate was so much fun with Eric and Dillon and kept everyone dancing all night long. Nicole was the best at the photo booth! She laughed just as much as we did and kept everything moving along smoothly. Words cannot express how fantastic they truly were and we're so happy they were part of our wedding day!

BEST DJ EVER!! My husband and I attended a wedding with the one-and-only Nick M. as the DJ and it was an unforgettable evening of dancing and fun. When we were planning for our own wedding last summer, it was the first (and easiest) decision to make....book Events by Cool Cat & Nick M. as our DJ! Throughout the entire process, Nick and the whole crew at Events by Cool Cat were enthusiastic, energetic, professional, and easy to talk to/ work with. They have DJ'ing down to a science...it is quite impressive! From initial meetings discussing general procedures to final meetings discussing every detail, the process was explained thoroughly, their online interface was user-friendly and convenient, and we never felt overwhelmed or unprepared with anything that they were handling. Nick (and many of their DJs) is experienced and truly knows how to get people out of their seats, onto a dance floor, and having a great time! Their staff is highly-trained and this became apparent quickly as we listened to their suggestions of expertise and watched them unfold at the reception. Unbelievable! It's always a sign of success when the dance floor is full throughout the night!! Events by Cool Cat traveled 2+ hours to provide entertainment during our cocktail hour and wedding reception and we are very grateful for this. Throughout the evening, we had guests (from all over the country) asking how far Nick M. would travel because our guests wanted him to DJ at their events in other states, haha! The music, lighting, party motivator (with serious moves like Jagger!), DJ, hosting, games, trivia during cocktail hour, prizes, presentation, and overall entertainment made our event a night that everyone will always remember! THANK YOU, NICK & EVENTS by COOL CAT!!!!

DJ Mike and his MC were phenomenal and rocked the house all night! Mike made sure to personalize the whole night and he really made it special. You know it was a good party when the music stops and the lights come on and everyone is still there saying "Nooooo. We want more!" What an unbelievable night that we will never forget. All thanks to cool cat!

Cool Cat just went above and beyond at our wedding. We had Susan as our officiant and she was so kind and down to earth, she took the time to really get to know us as a couple and listened to what we wanted in our ceremony, she made us laugh when we were nervous and she was an amazing officiant and I would highly recommend her to anyone. As for the photo booth it was a complete hit with our guests!! From the start to the very end there were guests lining up to use it. The gentlemen running the booth was so professional and handled the younger guests so well! We were lucky enough to have Nick as our DJ and we honestly could not say enough about how phenomenal he was, seriously he had everyone on the dance floor all night! People were in high spirits all night he kept the flow so smooth and made sure the bride and groom were taken care of the whole day. Even when the bartender had to excuse himself he went above and beyond on hopped on the bar to help out just such an amazing person and entertainer! We were just so thankful to have found such an amazing team to entertain our wedding the day/night would not have been the same without them!!! -The Panetta Wedding

We were first introduced to Cool Cat at a good friend's wedding. What can we say, Mo left a lasting impression on us!! We couldn't stop raving about how much fun we had. So much that we requested Mo a year later to be our DJ. Cool Cat has been nothing but outstanding with their service when planning our wedding day. Our family and friends could not say enough about how much fun they had! If we had to plan our wedding again, we would choose Cool Cat and Mo over and over again!! Thanks so much for making our wedding a night to remember.

Eric Catalano was my DJ and he was awesome! He did everything and more that we could have asked for! We would highly recommend him...we are still getting compliments on how fun our wedding was and how great the DJ was and we have been married a month now.

I hired Events by Cool Cat for my wedding and that was definitely one of the best decision I did (other than marrying my wife of course). I came in and Vinny blew me away with his outstanding presentation. He clearly captured what separates his business from the competition. We initially hired them fro the reception ceremony and later added them as music entertainment for the cocktail hour as well. We requested DJ Nick Maddalone as our primary DJ based on the reviews and there is no denying that he deserved every bit of praise from the other wedding parties. He really made the planning process easy and made sure that the music was tailored to us and our guests. DJ Nick and his team got the crowd pumped and kept the dance floor rocking, while also ensuring that our program of events stayed on schedule. From entertaining our guest, to bringing us drinks and making sure that my wife and I are comfortable, DJ Nick was a crucial part of our day. On another note, our primary contract with the photo booth cancelled and Cool Cat saved the day. Our guests cannot stop raving about the energy of the photo booth team and it was definitely one of the highlight of our reception. Looking back, I wished I hired them to do our photos too. My wife and I are really grateful for the Cool Cat team for all the work and making sure that our reception was not "just another wedding reception". Thanks guys!

I’ve been wanting to write this review since the night of my wedding but I’ve been waiting for things to calm down and until I could put into words the GRATITUDE I have for everything Events by Cool Cat has done for us! From the moment we signed on with them we felt like we became part of an extended family- anyone who could get my husband excited about wedding planning was already #1 in my book. As a bride, there are so many details (some get forgotten about until the last minute) but Vince was ALWAYS just a text away, without any hesitation, to make everything come together without worry. Every single person at my wedding was entertained and on the dance floor having the time of their lives ALL night and all quoted “the best wedding we have ever been to!” After an amazing night, and officially done with his duties, Vince’s kindness and generosity didn’t end there. Due to a huge error on the part of my hired transportation vendor, my whole bridal party was left stranded in the parking lot of our venue for hours. Vince got word of this, emptied out his personal vehicle of his equipment and drove back to rescue us and then drove the bridal party back to our Bed & Breakfast (almost a ½ hour away). Vince (and the whole team) are the example of what true professionals are and thank you just doesn’t seem like enough. From one bride to another- on your day, everything will come together and any details you choose will be the right one. The only mistake you could make is not choosing this EXCEPTIONAL team to be a part of your day!

Nick Maddalone is any events dream come true! He was so easy and personable to work with and went way above and beyond. He really got to know my husband and I and incorporated our wants and personalities into the event. Mo was also part of our wedding and was charming and fun! Our wedding was perfect and we owe it in large part to Cool Cat and their expertise. I look forward to working with them in the future for birthdays, anniversaries or other events. Thank you!!!!

Cool Cats does not disappoint! We had the privilege of working with Nick and Steve for our wedding in July 2015 and they were absolutely amazing. Nick was EVERYWHERE! From keeping our guests on the dance floor all night, to reminding my husband to grab his jacket for the cake cutting photos, to guiding the guests outside for our sparkler exit, etc… I could go on and on but they deserve the praise. The music was great and the attention to detail was outstanding. Cool Cats is more than just hiring a DJ to play music; they coordinate every event throughout the wedding so you can just enjoy the night. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

These guys are Fantastic! Eric and his crew really knew how to work the room. Music selection was perfect for our wedding. With an age range in our group of 20-80 this was not an easy task. Setup and break down were seamless and professional. As some one who runs audio for live venues, I can confidently say these these guys really nocked it out of the park. There equipment is very up to date and was very unintrusive for our venue. I will use and recomend these guys to any one any day. Worth every penny. The perfect DJs for our perfect day!

If you want your friends and family to leave your wedding calling it the best party they have ever been to you should book Cool Cat! Vinny is the best in the business. Vinny and Paul had our friends and family who don’t dance on the dance floor having a great time all night long! The dance floor was never empty and everyone danced till they dropped. Not only does Vinny throw an awesome party but he treats you like a member of the family and gives you exactly the experience you ask for. I cannot say enough about how much fun our wedding was and how happy I am we booked Vinny from Cool Cat to throw the best party of our lives!

Katherine Van Acker is an amazing photographer! Her and her assistant Tara did an amazing job on our wedding day! Katherine chose our engagement photo shoot location, and those came out amazing as well! They were both really great at blending in and taking candid photos as well as the posed photos. The wedding picture preview was posted quickly, and what we've seen so far has been amazing! We could not be happier! I have already recommended her to friends of mine that are getting married next year! Leslie was our videographer and he was so low key and fun to work with. He was very good at blending in and capturing footage, but would still come up and joke around once in awhile with us, which we loved! I have already recommended him to friends getting married next year! Cool cats hire only the best professionals, and even our photo booth attendant was highly professional and fun to be around! You will not be disappointed with cool cats!
