We hired PowerStation for our Photo Booth, DJ, and Officiant!
Everyone we hired were FANTASTIC! All were very attentive, polite, and respectful to us and to all of our guests.
Adri did a great job of encouraging our guests to take photos and to have a fun time while taking pictures. She was so friendly and we love the photo book she put together!
Jesse was hands down the best DJ and I would highly recommend him for any wedding/event. He put so much time and thought into the music for our ceremony and reception. He listened to my many requests and was super flexible with any changes I wanted made. As a bride, I felt as though Jesse really listened to my vision and he was truly able to make it come true. He was also so much fun and all of my guests loved him! He had such great energy and kept all the guests engaged and dancing. People have made many comments about how awesome he was! If I were to re-live the day again, I wouldn't change a thing! We were so lucky to have him!
Charlie was amazing! From our first conversation with Charlie, we knew he was the officiant for us! He was easy to talk to and we felt as though he was able to understand exactly what we were looking for in a ceremony. We had many options to choose from and we loved that we were able to customize it to us and our relationship. Charlie was always available when needed, provided us with guidance, and clearly put the time and effort into making our ceremony so special. The day of, he was organized, well spoken, and professional. I would highly recommend Charlie to anyone looking for the perfect officiant!

We got married on Thursday, March 20th. Our wedding day was everything we ever dreamed of and so much more. With both of us being in the wedding industry we are no strangers to Powerstation or Chris Vagnini. They’ve always been a dream to work with, but honestly working with them from a client perspective is just on an entirely different level. Mandi and the decor team made all of our wildest dreams a reality. Their ability to see and expand upon our vision left us with a day and venue that still takes our breath away. True to form, Chris took what otherwise could have been a normal Thursday and gave us the party and the memories that we’ll cherish for the rest of our lives. His facilitation of our timeline and ability to work in tandem with our Event Manager left two extremely Type A industry professionals with nothing to do but enjoy themselves thoroughly. Chris, Mandi, and the crew, though it comes to no surprise to us, we still cannot thank you enough for everything you did to make this one of the best days of our lives.
Much love,
Mike and Casey

DJ Jesse Chen was the right fit for us and our wedding. He knew exactly how to get the crown going and played all of the songs we requested.
He made sure our day was special to us and that the music we played made us happy on our special day!
Our officiant, Charlie Saccavino was PERFECT for us. He created "Our Love Story" through a questionnaire filled out by both of us. It left guests full of many emotions and kept everyone engaged. It also got the conversations started amongst guests that they could 'feel the love in the room' as we got married. Definitely a memorable ceremony!

We recently used Powerstation Events for our wedding and absolutely loved them. We used Chris as our DJ and he made our wedding vision come to life. He was so kind, upbeat and enthusiastic. He played absolutely phenomenal music and was so adaptive, making sure the dance floor was constantly filled. He brought the positive energy and was constantly perceptive to what we wanted and needed.
On top of that, we used InBloom as our floral provider and they were incredible. They were so focused in the meetings leading up to the day on ensuring they fully understood what we wanted the flowers to look like. When they delivered the flowers day of, they had gone above and beyond in creating our floral vision.
All in all, powerstation was a fabulous company and we could not recommend them enough

We hired Powerstation for our DJ, ceremony / cocktail hour musicians, uplighting, and photobooth. From our first meeting with Alex we felt very well informed and loved the convenience of booking multiple vendors from the same company. We were able to help design our photobooth strips and after the wedding received a digital album as well as hard copies of all the pictures with handwritten messages from our guests. Our DJ Jesse was absolutely amazing, he truly understood our music taste and we loved every single song he played. It was such a beautiful and special touch to have a string quartet for our ceremony and cocktail hour, the musicians were very talented and professional. We definitely recommend Powerstation and want to give a special shoutout to our amazing DJ, Jesse Chen!

DJ Christi was absolutely incredible! We are so grateful for her hard work and putting together the best music playlist ever for our wedding! We had a wide age range of guests, people from 3 to 80, and DJ Christi played music that catered to everyone. Our dance floor was never empty and my husband and I were able to sing and dance the night away. We highly recommend working with Powerstation Events, they are organized and ensure everything is all set so you can enjoy your wedding worry free. Thank you Powerstation Eventsand DJ Christi for making our day so special!

Our DJ was Alex Vollono and he really hit it out of the park. I am super picky about my music, and he totally understood the assignment. My husband and I, and all our family and friends of different backgrounds, had an absolute blast. People were so exhausted from dancing so hard that a great song would end, you could audibly hear the sighs of relief like they thought they could take a break, and then Alex would play another banger and everyone would go at it again. It was great.
Alex also looked like he was having a great time which I loved, and he was very professional throughout the whole process. I would hands down hire him again if I ever needed another DJ.
I also appreciated the planning process with Powerstation Events to set us up with the right DJ for us, then all the forms for specific songs that we'd want played. It was all very organized, and I didn't feel worried about a thing.

Frank from Powerstation Events made our wedding night absolutely unforgettable! He kept the energy high and the dance floor packed all night long. From the moment the music started, the vibe was perfect, and Frank knew exactly how to keep everyone engaged and having a blast. We’ve had so many people tell us it was the wedding of the year, and Frank is a huge reason why. Highly recommend Powerstation Events for anyone looking to make their wedding day incredible!

We absolutely loved working with Powerstation for our entertainment. They made the whole process easy and smooth from start to finish. We chose to work with Chris V as our DJ, and we couldn't have been happier. He was incredibly friendly and helpful, and everyone at our wedding couldn't stop talking about how fantastic the music was. The dance floor was always packed until the very end of the night. We came in with a long list of songs and type of music we wanted to hear, and Chris new exactly how to make it all work together for an unforgettable night. We would highly recommend working with Powerstation and Chris if you can!

We used Powerstation and DJ Erik this past weekend for our wedding at the Burr Mansion in Fairfield. The powerstation team was professional, communicative, and organized from start to finish. On the day of, the event production team was early to set up our three separate sound systems. DJ Erik was a perfect fit for our wedding. He accommodated our requests, was in sync with our music tastes, kept a great flow to the night, and was very communicative. He coordinated all music and mics flawlessly during the ceremony, and kept us on schedule with speeches and dances during the reception. Overall, we highly recommend powerstation and DJ Erik for your event!

Our DJ was Jesse Ledeatte and he was INCREDIBLE. We had an excellent meeting with him over the phone and he made us feel so confident going into the day. Once we actually got to the wedding, he played a huge role in making sure the ceremony went smoothly by working the microphones and also announcing that are ceremony was unplugged (No cellphones).
And of course I can't forget about the reception music! Jesse played the songs and artists we requested to tee while also incorporating other popular songs that kept people on the dance floor all night. The following day we had too many wedding guest to count come us to and say how much fun on the dance floor they had all night!! So definitely consider having powerstation and Jesse Ledeatte as your DJ, I can't recommend then enough!

It’s fantastic to hear that he kept the dance floor lively with your requested songs and popular hits, creating a memorable experience for your guests.

PowerStation supplied our DJ and photobooth during our wedding, and we were so happy with how both the music and the photobooth turned out. It was a pleasure working with DJ Christi throughout the entire process. She helped us figure out exactly what we wanted out of the music at our wedding through the entire reception, and then executed all of our musical ideas seamlessly. She kept the dance floor alive the entire night, and everybody was very happy with the music. Ashley ran the photobooth, and we were so thrilled to see how many guests used the booth and looked to be having a great time.

We are beyond happy that we got to work with Powerstation for our wedding. Alex V was the perfect DJ for us, we truly had the best experience! He really connected with us and the music we like, was very responsive in the lead-up to the big day, and read the room perfectly on the night of. Our guests had nothing but praise for the music and that was all thanks to Alex's skills. Could not recommend him and Powerstation more!

We can't say enough good things about working with Alex V from Powerstation for our wedding!! We were recommended Alex after an initial call with Jesse, and he matched our vibe perfectly. We were able to have a list of "definitely plays" and "do not plays" as well as lots of song recommendations, but after our meeting with Alex before the wedding we had complete trust in him and he DELIVERED! Our dance floor was popping all night and our guests loved the mix of music that Alex was able to provide. He was communicative, fun, and an overall amazing presence to have at our wedding. Thank you Alex and Powerstation for making our day unforgettable!!

We hired Powerstation to do audio for our ceremony and reception at Eolia Mansion at Harkness State Park. Overall, we were thrilled with the experience. Rich, our contact, was very communicative and happy to text or jump on a call whenever we needed. He understood we had some extra needs for the ceremony (a live musician, a few extra microphones, etc.) and was happy to talk through the gear needed to make that happen.
Christi, our DJ, was a fantastic energy to have with us for the day of our wedding. She was flexible and able to troubleshoot multiple problems, including not having enough cable, a missing microphone stand, and a HEAVY rainstorm at our tented reception. Through all of this she was sure to check in with us to make sure we didn’t need anything and even offered to act as a human mic stand during the ceremony! Most importantly, she understood the assignment to get butts on the dance floor, worked to find the right vibe, and kept everyone dancing till the very end. We can’t thank her enough!
We did attempt to use Powerstation for our decor as well. After months of back-and-forth with Jenna, missed emails, and minimal follow-up, we decided to use a different vendor for the decor.
We would absolutely recommend them for their DJ services!

Thank you Chris!!!

The afterglow of a wedding is a wonderful thing and part of that has been being able to thank and write positive reviews for our vendors. Unfortunately, working with PowerStation (a suggested/rebated option from our wedding location) proved to be very frustrating. The music portion of our wedding reception was disappointing (especially in comparison to all other vendors), and many of our requests for both the DJ and the photo booth (as well as general communcation and coordination of other peices of the package) were not delivered or needed to be handled by us/wedding coordinator on our wedding day.
Dancing was the most important part of our reception to us. We told the DJ that we had created a playlist of popular and meaningful songs amongst our friends and family (as well as generally popular wedding/dance songs). We organized it so that he could just press play and add in the dedication songs that we requested.
At the reception, some of the songs on our playlist were played, though not in the order that we would have wanted, and then there were songs played that we actively don’t like which would be very clear from the playlist we had shared and also our preference sheet and meetings. When I went up to request one song that was on the list, it did not seem to go over well and the song also stopped in the middle.
When we met with the DJ, we also expressed that our group of family and friends are big dancers and it would not be an issue to get people on the dance floor.) That would be the reason why, even when our playlist was not played as requested, there were still many people on the dance floor.
We had 2 hours to dance, and we had requested in our meetings and preference sheets special songs to be dedicated to friends and family. Apart from the parent/bride/groom dances and entrance, none of those songs were played.
Many guests even questioned specific special songs being omitted and certain songs that were being played, especially when the dance floor emptied a bit when a song we didn’t want was on. People also noted the volume of the music was very low at many points and guests tried to communicate this to the DJ, and we danced anyway, because, as we shared, we/our friends and family love to dance, though it was a big let down in many ways.
We understand that people have off days. It was just a huge disappointment that one of the important parts of our wedding day was truly not even close to what we dreamed of even if someone was having an off day. We would have hoped sharing a “plug-and-play” playlist could have avoided this. Perhaps it was our DJ choice, an off-day, we should have continually reminded him of our preferences, or we should have rented equipment and had a friend emcee.

Powerstation Events was absolutely phenomenal at my wedding! I just got married at The Barns at Wesleyan Hills on 4/12/24 and I only have rave reviews from my guests, saying that it was the best wedding that they have ever been to.
Rich G and Alex V were amazing DJs. Alex did the ceremony and cocktail hour while Rich did the reception. We had unusual requests for both of them and they handles everything amazingly.
For our ceremony, we had instrumental versions of songs from popular movies - parents walked down to the Love Theme from Attack of the Clones, my husband to be processed to Going the Distance from Rocky as he wore a boxing robe, I walked down to Pure Imagination from Charlie and The Chocolate Factory. They filled in the gaps during the lead up to the ceremony because I had guests comment on how much they loved hearing themes and songs from Game of Thrones, Edward Scissorhands, etc.
For my wedding reception I had an escape room theme and asked that Rich could assist me on that. If guests put together a puzzle in their locked favor box they would get a secret message to "Tell the DJ The PassCode is Blue Harvest". If they went up to the DJ, he would then give me a special card I made that would then give them a secret message to find other secrets in the venue. I also had them go up to him for prizes if they received a scratch ticket or message that said so. Rich happily gave out these cards and prizes and my guests loved it and said they had so much fun.
I also had a secret raffle at the end of the night. Rich worked with me and the wedding coordinator on timing for this so that when I announced it on his mic the confetti cannons went off and our last fun dance song immediately played, getting the entire crowd going! It was like I was in a movie!
The entire night the dance floor was packed and I owe it to Rich for keeping everything alive and moving. He checked in with me and my husband every once in a while to make sure he was playing certain songs that we wanted. We didn't want very many slow songs but did at least request a few and he made to get the ones in that we wanted without slowing down the party too much.
Rich and the team there know exactly what they are doing and I cannot recommend them enough!

FRANK K. IS THE MAN!!!!
My husband and I hired Powerstation Events to DJ our wedding at The Barns at Wesleyan Hills on 12/30. Our first meeting with Jesse was amazing, he helped us get matched up with the perfect DJ for us by asking very thoughtful questions about our wedding. He helped us get matched up with Frank who is truly an amazing DJ!! He had the dance floor going all night with an incredible mix of modern and classics. I really wanted something that every guest could appreciate and Frank understood that. He went along with every request (including my very important one to only play Taylor's Version of any TS songs) and gracefully deflected my family member's absurd music requests.
Best of all was that Frank, Jesse, and the entire Powerstation team helped me pull off an incredible surprise to my husband. I had a custom processional song made and they worked with me to make sure he never suspected a thing. When the song played as I was coming down the aisle and my husband was crying/laughing in surprise, I knew that I had made the right choice in bringing on Powerstation to do our event.
Thank you again for such an incredible evening!!!!

We had the pleasure of working with Powerstation for our wedding ceremony in CT. Our venue exclusively uses Powerstation, yet we had our pick of several DJs for our ceremony and reception. Our DJ Jesse Chen is a seasoned professional and had worked with the venue many times before. This meant our DJ and our day-of coordinators were in lockstep the entire afternoon and evening. The music was perfect for different moments of the evening, including a pop-punk music block for our high school and college friends to bring energy to the floor!
Prior to our wedding, Jesse worked with us to understand our musical vision for the evening, including asking us for a Spotify playlist to get a sense of the kind of music we like. We had a worksheet of “must plays” and “don’t plays” which gave us all the peace of mind we needed before the day.
On the day of the wedding, Jesse gave us clear guidelines on where and when we would be mic’d up for our ceremony and speeches, and when he’d be un-micing us. The entire time, we knew we were in good hands!

DJ Jesse was very helpful and you can tell he loves what he does. He went through each song we could have and the names of all our important guests.

This is the DJ you want MCing your wedding day.
My husband and I got married on 9/16/2023 and I cannot emphasize this enough: Alex was phenomenal. We met with so many DJs leading up to our wedding and, after speaking with Alex, we immediately knew without a doubt that we wanted to work with him. And he did not disappoint! Once the dancing started, it did not stop.
Alex was so attentive listening to every detail we wanted for our wedding. And he was very willing to make last minute changes, even the morning of! What we appreciated most was how great he was at checking in with us at appropriate times throughout the evening to ensure we were happy with everything, or check if we were ready for specific announcements or dedication songs. He was great at keeping us on schedule and absolutely exceeded our expectations. We had a private last dance at the end of our ceremony, where we asked all our guests to go outside to the patio. Unbeknownst to us, during that time, Alex coordinated with all our guests to have them come rushing in at the end of the song and gather around us in a massive hug.
I've heard that DJs can really make or break your wedding day, and Alex absolutely went above and beyond to elevate our day. He is a natural at his job and loves what he does and it shows - not only in terms of reading the room when choosing songs and transitions, but also in his enthusiastic introductions and announcements and in the way he interacts with guests. And he is happy to play as big or small of a role you want him to for your day. If you are considering booking Powerstation for your event, look no further than Alex!
Powerstation Events was also pleasure to work with. Booking our DJ and making payments was very convenient and seamless. We loved having the ability to meet with several DJs from the company and choose the one we felt worked best for us. Thank you for helping make our day so memorable!

We decided to hire Powerstation Events as they were a preferred vendor for our venue. Overall, the experience was fairly positive- we worked with Dj Alex and he was very friendly, comfortable on the mic, and generally pleasant to work with. I was however a bit disappointed with our ceremony music as my song didn’t play until I was already partially down the aisle. I also curated a very specific list of songs for cocktail hour and the reception and while cocktail hour was spot on, a lot of our favorite songs were not played during the reception. I felt that there was some misreading of the room as we normally have a very dance-heavy crowd at family weddings and the dance floor was emptier than usual because there wasn’t enough mixing of old and new songs to appeal to everyone.
Overall I would still recommend this company and DJ but would urge anyone that feels very passionate about their playlist to stress that as much as possible so you hear what you want on your big day! If you’re flexible about the music selection, you’ll likely be happy with the service at Powerstation.

We hired Powerstation Events for our DJ. They had so many options for DJs and you were able to choose based on their taste in music among other factors. We were able to meet our DJ before hiring him as well! We ended up going with Jesse and could not have been happier! He had us create a Spotify playlist so he could get an idea of the type of music we wanted to play, but we also gave him the freedom to choose what songs he thought would work with our crowd and he did a great job with that. We gave him some songs that had to be played and he made sure they were played that night. There was one song that my dad wanted to hear but he missed it the first time, so Jesse played it again when my dad was there! He was able to keep people on the dance floor all night! We are so happy with the music we had all night long!

First off, our DJ Christi did a fantastic job - I would give her 6 stars if I could! We had a call a few weeks before our wedding and then she called again the day before to confirm details; she definitely got the vibe we were going for and our wedding guests had a blast on the dance floor.
Also, our lighting/decor coordinator Jenna did a great job; she was familiar with the venue and had great suggestions, and came to meet us at the venue beforehand so we could visualize what we were doing as far as lighting.
The only criticism I have is that Powerstation was a bit complicated to work with. There were a lot of different contact points and we were never quite clear who we should be talking to (especially about general things like payments); more importantly, the 4 (!) forms that we needed to fill out which the DJ works off of were not the best - overlap, confusing questions, missing some key things that had to be jammed into the "additional details" fields which became cluttered and confusing quickly. We were able to talk through it with Christi in advance which was helpful, but the forms could use some streamlining.
Otherwise we were very happy with both the music & lighting for our wedding!

Thank you so much for your kind words and feedback! We're thrilled to hear that DJ Christi...
exceeded your expectations—it's wonderful to know she captured the vibe you were going for and that your guests had a great time on the dance floor.
We’re also glad to hear that Jenna was helpful with the lighting and decor, and that her familiarity with the venue made a positive impact on your experience.
We appreciate your candid feedback regarding Powerstation.

If I were just rating our DJ, Jesse Ledette, he would absolutely get 5 stars! He was amazing the day of, knew how to keep people on the dance floor, played the right mix of songs we were looking for and he even sings in the background to some of the songs!!!! And he has an amazing voice my guests were shocked when they realized he was singing hahah. HOWEVER, dealing with Powerstation as a company was very frustrating. They had so many people involved in the process (we were dealing with two office managers, their supervisor, and then there's the production team who actually downloads the music you want), and while all were individually nice people, there was just way too much miscommunication. Even with scheduling calls, because you don't schedule with the DJ, you schedule with the office manager, there were multiple times we just didn't get a phone call (like 20-30 minutes after the scheduled time) and I would have to call them and they would say "oh yeah we're just running behind", when really, I think they just forgot because of the miscommunication. I had also emailed Jesse to just confirm he was going to definitely play 3 of our favorite songs, and he said to email production because he's only able to play what they download on his computer ahead of time. So I did but that and they confirmed but then on the day of Jesse said they were never downloaded :( I was sooooooo disappointed. Again, I just think the company is so big that they don't always care or take into consideration everyone's personal wants, they are just operating as a business. They also gave us the wrong color up lighting, which in hindsight was fine because it actually looked good, but we had specifically confirmed our color with them and any other couple could have been extremely angry. It was just a bunch of little repeated mistakes that overall gave them the low rating.

Our DJ was Alex and he and the PowerStation team were excellent. Booking them was simple and they checked in to make sure we were ready for our wedding. The music planning forms were a great way to brainstorm music ideas. We got many compliments on our music selections throughout the evening, but we had to admit that we just gave the broad ideas for what to play. We had lots of great dancing music, everyone had a wonderful time and our DJ played a big part in creating such a fun event.

DJ Erik was awesome! He came recommended during our first intro call and I'm so glad we got to work with him. When we had our call with Erik prior to the wedding, he totally understood our vibe. He was amazing at reading the room and kept the energy high the entire night. The music was a major highlight of our night!

Powerstation made wedding planning, especially from a distance, so much easier! The coordinators we worked with were so responsive and helpful. We booked Will as our DJ and couldn’t have been happier.
He knew just what music to play and when, and kept up a fun and entertaining atmosphere throughout our reception. Our photographer, Heather, was so flexible when some of our ceremony plans changed last minute. She was accommodating and efficient, and also very skilled at putting people at ease for photos. Thanks again to the whole team!

I hired both a DJ and an officiant from Powerstation Events.
Our DJ was Jesse Chen and he was absolutely phenomenal. He had everyone out on the dance floor the entire night. Literally everyone!! If you are the type of couple that just loves to party and dance the night away, Jesse is your guy. Powerstation Events is very thorough with making sure they gather all information they could possibly need for your wedding... even down to what song you want playing while you're cutting your cake. Jesse made sure to go over all of this with us and executed it all perfectly on our wedding day. They even have a ceremony package where they bring speakers and clip on microphones so everyone can hear what is happening during the ceremony. If I need a DJ for any event in the future, I will most definitely be hiring him again. I even had guests that wanted his business card. He's a no brainer option!
Our officiant was Rich Gumpert. He made our ceremony everything we wanted. We were able to choose how long we wanted it to be and he sent us sample ceremonies that we could adjust as needed. He was very thorough in explaining the entire process, including how to obtain our marriage license. During the ceremony, while Rich was speaking, it felt like he was a family friend we've known for years. He was so personable and well spoken as he was giving the ceremony. He even knew to step aside for the pictures when the bride and groom kissed! After the ceremony, he submitted the completed marriage license for us which was so nice to not have to worry about doing that.
I highly recommend both Jesse Chen (DJ) and Rich Gumpert (officiant). Everyone at Powerstation Events was so helpful and kind and their customer service is top notch!!

We had an absolutely incredible experience with DJ Chris! We loved that his dad did my parents wedding, that his been in the business for years, that he was already familiar with our venue (the madison beach hotel), and his personality was the frosting on the cake! If we wanted it Dj Chris was going to make it happen. He helped set up my cousin who was singing for our ceremony, was super enthusiastic about everything and most importantly kept our party DANCING! Would recomend Powerstation again and again! Thank you!!!

We used Powerstation for the music at our ceremony and reception.
Communication with the vendor was good before the day and it was easy to book with them. Set up and breakdown on the day was so seamless I didn’t even realize it had happened. They provided everything we needed except the DJ table and the power outlet!
DJ Chris was awesome! We had multiple people tell us that we had the best wedding playlist that they had ever heard. He kept the dance floor full the whole night and was great to work with before and during the reception.

We used Powerstation for almost every aspect of our wedding, and it all went smoothly. We used Powerstation for the DJ, officiant, photographer, videographer, floral, and Photo Booth. Everyone we worked with was great. DJ Christie was our DJ for the night and all my guests said that she played such great music during certain parts of the wedding. We had Charlie as our officiant and he made everyone at our ceremony cry and laugh all the same time. He made the making of the ceremony so easy and so fun to do. Our photographer was Candace, and we went over all of the photos I wanted, and she made them all happen. We had an engagement shoot with her and all the photos came out amazing. I can’t wait to see the wedding photos. Our videographer was Mark and he was so nice. He was getting so many aspects of our wedding. I can’t wait to see with the video comes out to be. The floral Inbloom department was great as well. I told them to make the flowers look beautiful and that’s exactly what they did. I took so many home and wanted to keep them forever. The photo booth was also a great on that so many of our guests love doing, and I love that I got all the photos in the end to laugh about.

I was very disappointed in DJ Christi J for my wedding. I took a lot of time to complete the Powerstation DJ Questionnaires that went into detail regarding what kind of music I wanted played along with any dedications or announcements. I didn’t hear any of the songs I requested during dinner or dancing. She didn’t play songs in the genre of music we wanted which led to a majority of our guests leaving the dance floor throughout the night. Christi would continue to play the entire songs from start to finish instead of mixing them together. Throughout the night many of our guests had expressed that DJ Christi J did not read the room well when selecting music. She also didn’t announce any dedications for particular songs which we had discussed prior to the wedding as well as listed in the questionnaire. She didn’t announce the centerpiece giveaways and left us to pack all the centerpieces after the reception which is also something listed in the questionnaire. I am particularly disappointed as we’d discussed these things as well as what we wanted to have played prior to the wedding. DJ Christi J was late to our final appointment (a 15 minute meeting phone call) and it was clear she was not prepared to discuss our answers in the questionnaire. She was not responsive with texting while we were making updates. We do not believe that she was very professional and would not recommend her for anyone’s wedding. It is a shame we had invested so much money into her services.

Hi Rebecca, We are very sorry to hear of any disappointment in our services. As you probab...
ly knew prior to booking, Christi is a highly rated and consistently excellent DJ for our company so this is definitely out of character for her. Rest assured we will review your experience with her and get back to you very soon to discuss. Respectfully, Rich Gumpert - Event Sales Director - Powerstation Events

Jesse was an amazing DJ for our wedding day at the Pavilion on Crystal Lake! He knew exactly the type of music we wanted to hear and definitely delivered!
We also used Charlie to officiate our wedding. He scripted the most beautiful ceremony! We wanted short, sweet, and to the point, and that's exactly what he gave! He even surprised us with a copy of the script for us to keep and a framed marriage certificate. It was a very sweet surprise!
Overall, couldn't have asked for a better team! Having Jesse and Charlie made both the ceremony and reception flawless. Thank you both!!

Rich and Paige were great! They captured the style of music we were looking for and kept the dance floor busy! It's clear that Rich was paying attention throughout the evening as he played a specific song that was referenced in one of the speeches. We appreciated his attention to detail and making sure that all of the introductions and order of the evening went smoothly. Powerstation has a lot of DJs to pick from and the biographies online as well as a conversation with a team member helped us narrow down our search!

We hired Rich from Powerstation Events as our DJ, and he did the most incredible job. The scheduling and invoicing leading up to the wedding was simple and easy (we especially appreciated the ability to pay our invoices online or via Venmo) and everything was perfectly executed on the day of. We threw a lot of requests at Rich (a live performance, a dedicated shout out, a 90s mashup for the dancefloor), and he took it all in stride. The dancefloor was electric, and he played all the songs we wanted, while mixing in others and our guests requests, just like we wanted. He also made a point to check with me if someone requested a song that was out of the ordinary or didn't vibe with the rest of our playlist. Knowing the playlist can make or break a dancefloor, the music was one of my biggest concerns leading up to the wedding, but I'm so happy with how it all turned out!

We gave Powerstation Events and DJ Frank complete creative control for our wedding and he really made the night amazing!! He was easy to work with and incorporated everything that was important to us without question! 2 days before our wedding we had to switch a few songs as we had finished last minute dance lessons and he was easy to communicate with and very relaxed. We loved his choices for us (a great mix of old and new music) and are SO HAPPY with our choice. His energy was also great the whole night. Thank you Frank and Powerstation events!!

My husband and I decided to make a last minute switch and go with Powerstation for our DJ and it was one of the best decisions we could have possibly made! The entire staff at Powerstation was super friendly, honest, and helpful throughout the entire planning process. We ended up going with Alex and he absolutely crushed it! Our guests couldn’t get off the dance floor and continue to rave about how great his set was! He went above and beyond to create a customized playlist that tailored to my husband and I’s specific music taste. He also was super flexible leading up to the wedding and easily reachable for last minute changes. I would 100% recommend Powerstation and Alex for any wedding!

We loved working with Powerstation for our wedding on 9/23/22! We were recommend to Powerstation for DJ services by our venue, and we now totally understand why. I am so impressed with the level of service we received from their team - they clearly know what they are doing! We hired Rich G. as our wedding DJ and he was a gem. We knew we loved him from the first time we spoke on the phone. He was extremely energetic, magnetic, and did an outstanding job. We had a few songs that needed editing and some special requests and such - he handled all without skipping a beat absolutely flawlessly. I am not a huge fan of line dances (I know, I know) and asked Rich to limit it to only 2 for the night. A few guests requested additional line dances, and Rich made sure to come and check in with me before playing any. It was the BEST knowing that he had my back! If you are on the fence about hiring Powerstation, just do it! They are awesome, I promise. Rich, we can't thank you enough for everything!

Christi was amazing to work with for our wedding! She was professional, flexible, and personable. My husband and his family have traditional Greek names that are normally difficult to pronounce for English speakers and Christi took the time while meeting with before our wedding and before our entrance to the reception to make sure she was saying everyone’s name correctly. Christi was also incredibly accommodating with us for our first dance as we didn’t know how to dance or felt very comfortable doing it. Christi came up with a signal for us to give her if we wanted to stop early to be sure we were at ease.
Our guests ranged from 18 months to 78 and everyone was on the dance floor! We got many compliments through out the night about how great Christi was and would highly recommend her to other couples for their special day. Thank you Christi!

Erik with Powerstation Events had his work cut out as we were most nervous and stressed about music. We are very picky with regards to music. We really did not want any typical wedding music (Shout, Macarena, Ed Sheeran, John Legend, etc). Erik was great at listening to us, but also keeping a pulse on what the crowd responded to. We felt like we had a great partner shaping the mood of our day, who understood what we were looking to accomplish. We wanted to have fun, we wanted to be inspired to dance and what we listen to at home maybe isn't so wedding appropriate (e.g. Slut Pop by Kim Petras). Everyone commented at how fun the night was and a big part of that was the music and because we were dancing others danced. One of the grooms even split their pants all the way through from dancing. It was a great night and we really appreciate Erik.

I cannot recommend Powerstation Events enough! We hired our officiant and DJ through them, and we honestly wouldn’t have changed a thing! DJ Jesse Ledeatte is NEXT LEVEL. So many guests came up to us during and after to tell us it was literally the best wedding they had ever been to- one couple even asked for his card to hire him for their next event! He was a dream to work with leading up to the event and got absolutely everyone up on the dance floor. It was such a blast! He did an incredible job of reading the room and playing music everyone wanted to hear. Plus he provided us with excellent live music during cocktail hour that our guests are still raving about! Thank you so much for helping us bring our vision to life and making it the best day ever!

We used Powerstation for our DJ and some of our decor and we were extremely happy. Charlie did our initial consult for our DJ and he nailed our recommendation. DJ Christi was easy going and energetic. She is just fun to be around and everyone fed off her energy. She was a great emcee as well. She helped rework our reception with our coordinator when rain and some other problems showed up on our big day. We still got most of what we wanted due to her keen planning.
Jenna was a godsend with the decor planning. I must have sent her a hundred emails and she got back to me and made me feel well taken care of. Our welcome sign, custom vinyl floor installation and pillar candles added such elegance to our day. We had lawn games too but the rain ruined that. Everything was set up and taken down by their crew at the end of the night so there was no extra work for us or our venue.
Overall, easy to work with and they have so much to offer which is key with wedding planning. Highly recommend working with them to make your vision come to life.

DJ RICH FOR THE WIN! I will say my first experience with a different DJ was not the best experience, BUT I knew that Power Station has a great reputation and is a great place for a great DJ, and I was confident giving it another try for my second wedding. Plus, most weddings I go to, I know it will be a great time when I see that Power Station logo.
More on DJ Rich - He knows his stuff, so professional, reads the room, is confident when making suggestions and asking questions, and truly carries himself with EXPERIENCE. He took notes in our Zoom meet during our conversations, created three custom edits for father0daughter dances with his team, and just gave us smooth sailing and good vibes only. I highly recommend Rich. It is very evident in one conversation with him that he has many years of experience with weddings, and on our wedding day he made us so happy and it was perfect. THANK YOU, RICH!

PowerStation is simply the best. They have a fantastic reputation in CT and have a ton of wedding experience. The entire process was extremely smooth from the first inquiry to the final prep call. Special shout-out to DJ Will. When considering a DJ, you should absolutely pick him. He was great, kept everyone on the dance floor and seemed like all he wanted was for us to be happy with the music. 12/10 for DJ Will!

One of the best parts of our wedding day was our DJ, Will! He was energized, encouraging, genuinely kind, and set a fantastic vibe from the ceremony all the way through the last song of the night. After our final meeting with him before the big day, I knew that we were in good hands. Even when I had a last minute song change two day before the wedding, he made the change and even checked in on how we were doing. Our guests (and I) were on the dance floor ALL NIGHT due to Will’s fantastic skills. He kept the party going and made sure all of our requests were met. I highly recommend using Will for your event!
