Spinners Entertainment

We LOVED working with Spinners Entertainment! Lou was our DJ and he was so cool and fun to work with. He played all of our favorite songs throughout the night, and he was kind enough to show up early and set up a mic and speaker system for our officiant. We would definitely work with him again. :)

If I could give Spinners Entertainment 5 stars again and again and again. Nicco was our DJ at our wedding in Olde Mill Inn and he did an amazing job. The night wasn't even over and so many people were paying compliments to me about him and even after the wedding people said that this was the best DJ they have seen in years. He played music that kept everyone dancing and listened to our requests. During soundcheck he played baby shark for my nephew and he loved that! Nicco was a truly awesome guy and we were so lucky to have him on our wedding day.

We hired Owls & Lions through Spinners Entertainment. We had a duo (Jay and Nicole) for the ceremony and cocktail hour, and two more band members joined them for the reception. I CANNOT SAY ENOUGH AMAZING THINGS ABOUT OWLS AND LIONS. They were easily the most complimented portion of our wedding. They are so incredibly talented, they perform a large variety of music, and they were relatively affordable for live music and all of the talent they brought! They were so great to work with, incredibly attentive and seriously was one of the highlights of my wedding. They even learned our first dance song and were able to sing it live for us! Something really special about them was they are a band/DJ combo. So when they’re not singing live, Jay, one of the singers, is the DJ, while the instrumentalists play along with the music! I seriously encourage everybody to go check out their videos, it is amazing to watch them perform and it was a gift to have them as our band.

We were so lucky to have Jay DJ our wedding and be part of our special day! Jay went above and beyond our expectations and kept the party going all night long. The set he played reached the interest of every guest and made my husband and I feel like rockstars. There wasn’t a moment where people weren’t on the dance floor. Jay, thank you beyond words for being part of our day and making it a night we will never forget!

We were lucky enough to have Jay DJ and play guitar at our wedding, and we cannot stress enough what a wonderful decision this was! Not only did he keep the energy moving through the entire event, but he also managed to work in some requests that we had just mentioned as asides. (We had a lot of Broadway music fans at our event, but knew Broadway music didn’t really fit at a wedding. Somehow, he worked Broadway music throughout the even in ways that didn’t dull the energy and really elevated the whole experience!!) The ceremony was wonderful, and the reception never stopped moving — the dance floor was packed ALL NIGHT, which was exactly what we wanted. We also rented a photo booth, which was a fun experience for everyone, and they managed to exactly match the print outs from the booth to our wedding invitations!! We would HIGHLY recommend Spinners Entertainment; we cannot stress enough what an amazing job Jay and his team did.

Absolutely thrilled we found Jay, Nicole and Kevin with Owls and Lions! They are the absolute best Indy Folk Trio in the Tri-state!!!! Not only did they play, sing, jam out at our wedding, they completely entertained our guest and we all had a blast!

Owls & Lions were amazing! From ceremony to cocktail hour to reception they nailed every part of our wedding and we could not have been happier. They are truly such a talented band. The ceremony and cocktail hour music was beautiful. The reception music was so fun and all of our guests had a blast dancing. Our family and friends all complimented us on our wedding music. Jay was so great to work with from the wedding planning to the actual day. We highly recommend Owls & Lions for your wedding. They were the best!!

We discovered Owls and Lions by mistake at our venue tasting in 2019 and I am so glad we did! After hearing a sample there we attended a showcase in Morristown where we really got to enjoy Jay and Nicole perform in addition to a sax player and guitarist. After two postponements due to COVID, what started as Owls and Lions for the ceremony + cocktail hour and a DJ for the reception quickly morphed into Owls and Lions for ceremony + cocktail hour and the full band/DJ hybrid for the reception. All I can say is, no regrets! We LOVED having live music and our guests had a blast! I knew we’d have some dedicated dancers in our crowd, but a good bit of observers too. A band was an excellent way to get the dancers up and dancing and allow the observers to sit back and enjoy the show. Jay was great with communication leading up to our event and the night of he was sure to check in with us periodically to make sure we were happy with the vibe or if there was anything they could do differently to ensure we were having the best time. My husband and I aren’t huge dancers, so we were happy to join in part of the time, observe some of the time and mingle with guests at others. Owls and Lions performed beautiful acoustic music with guitar and violin during the ceremony + cocktail hour and guests said their energy really added to the good vibes of the night. By the end of the reception so many guests were out on the dance floor singing and enjoying themselves. The band played Stand By Me right at the end of the night and all our guests circled up together and sang at the top of their lungs, definitely a moment we will always remember!

We hired Jay and Nicole to play at our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour, and Jay DJ'd our reception. I would highly recommend this duo and live music / DJ hybrid to anyone who is looking to have live music at their wedding at an affordable price. The music quality was really great and they are both such talented musicians. Our wedding guests were especially impressed with the live music they played during the cocktail hour. Jay was also so helpful during the planning process and was available to answer all of our questions and customize the music to what we wanted.

Jay & Nicole performed as Owls & Lions for my wedding ceremony [Nicole’s violin was beautiful in their instrumental rendition of Home] & cocktail hour [plenty of bouncy songs, including at least one original]. Jay switched over to the DJ booth for the reception. Being able to have both a DJ *and* a band was exactly what we needed; they were flawless! Spinners was responsive when communicating over email & phone. My now-husband and I are the first in our friend group to get married, so we weren’t super sure about how many music selections were needed or what the most applicable kind would be (beat/tempo-wise). Jay walked us through everything over the phone, and made sure we were happy with all the choices so that our day went off perfectly!

Amazing!!! I had them perform at my wedding. The entire night my guest were dancing and never left the dance floor. The best part about this, is the love music. I would recommend this company over and over again!!!

Jay and Owls & Lions were absolutely amazing to work with. We had Owl & Lions play our ceremony and cocktail hour and I was in awe of how amazing they sounded - somehow even better than their videos. Jay was the DJ for our reception and he was PERFECT. He listened to our requests and played a great mix of genres that kept people dancing all night long. I had MULTIPLE people come up to me and tell me what great music we had. I remember being on the dance floor and hearing someone say they had never heard a DJ play so many good songs in a row! I'm incredibly grateful for how flexible Jay was with all the re-scheduling madness during COVID-19 but in the end it was truly the perfect day.

Jay and the Owl and Lions team were amazing! We did a live music/DJ combo for our wedding in May. We received so many compliments from our guests and everybody had a great time. The dance floor was packed all night! Jay was referred to us by a friend and now we will be sure to refer them to others as well! Planning was super easy and all expectations were met. Definitely recommend 100%!

t was so lovely to work with Jay. Despite being very busy, which I would say is a great sign, he made time for us and accommodated all of our requests. He was happy and present during our wedding and we couldn’t have asked for a better dj/mc. We also hired Owls and Lions which I heard from my guests were great! I unfortunately was too busy running around to enjoy the live music during my cocktail hour. Jay and his company was definitely a one stop shop for us! He provided live music, dj, mc, and we even got our photo booth from him. Highly recommend! :)

Wedding DJ Review From the moment we started working with Jay until the day of our wedding, he was an absolute pleasure to work with. During our first call with him, we could tell how passionate he was about music, his band, and making weddings unforgettable. Jay is responsive, easy to work with, and he truly cares about the couple and their special day. We worked with him throughout the pandemic (postponing our wedding multiple times) and he did everything he could to put us at ease and accommodate our date changes. We did a mix of band and DJ and they were AMAZING. Coming from someone who has been to too many weddings, I truly believe the music is the most important part and it makes such an impact on whether guests have a good time or not. Owls and Lions played during our cocktail hour and the first half of our reception and then Jay switched it up to DJ mode for the rest of the night- this was the perfect combination! He also made sure to get everyone on the dance floor at one point for a group photo which was awesome (and the photo came out great)! Owls and Lions was hands down the best choice we made when it comes to our wedding. So many of our guests commented during and after our wedding about how talented the band was and how much fun they had (thanks to the great music)! As the bride, I am so happy to reflect on our wedding day knowing that all of our guests had a great time and thankful that I was able to dance the night away (I think I only left the dance floor once to eat)! Thank you Jay and Owls and Lions for making our wedding INCREDIBLE- it would not have been the same without your talent.

Jay and Spinners Entertainment are truly top-notch and made the music portion of our May ‘21 wedding planning so easy. The Honey Badgers provided amazing live music during our ceremony and cocktail hour. DJ Monopoli kept the dance floor packed all night and did a fantastic job playing songs that our guests of all ages loved. Everyone that we dealt with were true professionals and a pleasure to work with. We continue to get compliments on the entertainment from our wedding guests.

Jay DJ'ed my wedding this past June 2021 and I can honestly say I am STILL singing! I still have guests saying how amazing the playlist was all thanks to Jay. He was incredible with keeping the party going and made sure everyone was having a good time. The music selection was EXACTLY what we wanted and I still don't have a voice from belting out all my favorite songs! He sang acoustically and played the guitar during my cocktail hour, which was a huge hit with my guests. I cannot say enough good things about him and wish he could DJ every event in my life! Thank you so much Jay you crushed it! And thank you so much for working with me during all my covid postponements, you helped make our replanning so much easier!

Jay was amazing! We had Owl & Lions perform during our ceremony and cocktail hour and then Jay took over as MC/DJ for the night. The guests loved it all! Everyone came up to us saying how much they loved the Owls & Lions set. They gave the perfect vibe for a great start to the evening. Check out their songs and social media and youtube. Jay was also a phenomenal DJ. He made sure everyone was dancing the whole night and had a great time!  When the pandemic hit, we had to reschedule our 2020 wedding for 2021. Jay was the first person to reach out to make sure we were doing fine and that he was ready to go for the new date. Jay was also very responsive and put up with all of my random last minute emails (including my request the night before the wedding for Owls & Lions to play an extra song during our ceremony).  All in all, he exceeded all of our expectations, as both a performer and a professional. We highly recommend if you are looking for wedding entertainment!!

Due to covid we had switched our wedding date three times and last minute decided to switch to a band since our venue wasn’t allowing dancing. Jay was amazing, understanding, flexible, supportive and created the best night of my life. We switched from DJ to his band Owls and Lions with a percussionist. Wow, every guest commented on how great they sounded. “Jay has the best voice.” “The girl singer is amazing.” They read the crowd and played songs to fit the mood. They really made the wedding what it was, fun and exciting. So many guests walked out with their business flyer. I wish I could get married again just so I can hire Owls and Lions again! Don’t hesitate, BOOK THEM!!!

Whenever my wife and I now listen to Owls and Lions we are immediately brought back to our wedding day. She and I feel so blessed to have had Nicole and Jay play for our wedding. These two are so talented, passionate, and generous with their music. Our guests raved about them and they are looking for any excuse to have an event to invite them back. We will forever associate Owls and Lions with our wedding!

Having Jay play at our wedding was one of the best decisions we made! Planning a wedding during a pandemic is not easy but Jay was so comforting, professional, responsive and flexible throughout the entire process! He took the time to truly get to know us to best prepare for our special day. The day of the wedding, Jay was such a pleasure to work with, so talented and kept the night moving and enjoyable for everyone! Jay helped to seamlessly drive the day with his music selections and kept it intimate like we requested and we trusted his every move. We have already received a ton of compliments and people inquiring for his information to book for future events! We HIGHLY recommend choosing Jay (Owls and Lions) for your wedding.

Let’s me just say owl & lions were absolutely amazing! They were beyond responsive, flexible and creative. Every guest at my wedding LOVED them singing while guests arrived, singing the recessional, professional, cocktail hour and slow dance songs during the wedding. They have such an unique spunk and a different spin of just a normal DJ. They even were able to replicate my wedding invite to be used as the photo booth print outs which I could not be any happier with! I would 100% recommend them time and time again. The guests enclosing myself still are talking about how amazing they were!

We absolutely LOVED Owls & Lions. Jay and Nicole are both amazing musicians and had the perfect vibe together - they really completed our little micro wedding!! Very cool, laid back and FUN!! I’ll book these guys again and again if I have the chance to!

I cannot say enough great things about Owls & Lions, they brought our wedding to life! They are such talented musicians and they had all my guests raving about how good they are. On top of their talent they also were able to go with the flow of not having a dance floor due to the pandemic. At first I thought not having a dance floor at my wedding would be awkward and they made it anything but that. I believe my guests fell in love with this band and highly recommend them!

What an incredible experience I had with Jay from Spinners Entertainment and the rest of Owl and Lions. When I spoke with Jay I knew this was the band I was going to hire. When you plan a wedding it can be stressful to begin with but Jay makes it that much less stressful from the get go. He was in constant communication leading up the wedding and the day of are a testament to his professionalism. What I can say is that the music will not disappoint either. From the ceremony all the way through the evening Owls and Lions has everyone on their feet. They played everything perfect and made the evening unforgettable. Almost 9 months post wedding everyone still talks about the band. That says something about them. I love these guys and continue to try to find ways to get them to perform again.

We booked Owls & Lions for our wedding and we were not disappointed! They are the best of both worlds-- a band for the ceremony/cocktail hour, playing mostly indie folk rock, and a DJ for the reception, playing dance music to get people moving. Jay, Nicole and Chris are fantastic musicians/singers/DJs, very professional and extremely easy to work with. They could really read a room and seemed to know exactly the right song to play at the right time to keep the party going. If you're looking for something a little different for your wedding music experience, look no further!

Jay was great! He really understood and catered to our requests for music style/genre and he made an awesome playlist. Our guests had a blast! I would highly recommend!

My (now) husband and I are SO happy we chose Spinners for our wedding. Our DJ was Ollie was he was absolutely fantastic. We like all different genres of music and wanted our guests up and dancing most of the night, so we left almost all of the music up to Ollie's discretion for the reception...and we are so glad we did because he picked the best songs to play. He knew exactly how to read the crowd and our dance floor was filled the entire night. The uplighting was also a great touch that I would recommend for any venue!

I can’t thank Spinners Entertainment enough for the amazing job that they did for our wedding September 8, 2019. From my very first phone call with Jay I knew that we would end up booking with them. His enthusiasm and passion for what he does is incredible. He was so easy and fun to speak with and share ideas with. Instantly he got the vibe that we wanted for our wedding and was able to easily guide us in our selection of entertainment. We loved that they have so many entertainment options to chose from! Throughout our entire wedding day they evolved to suit the vibe of each setting. Jay and Nicole played guitar and violin out on the beach prior to and during our ceremony. Our friends and family said it was so cool to be sitting out on the beach listening to them play! Walking down the isle to the instrumentals of one of my favorite songs was a dream come true and they played it so well! For cocktail hour we had their band Owls & Lions perform. They were absolutely amazing! If you are looking for a wedding band that will be different from all the rest, book them! So many people came up and asked us during cocktail who they were and where we found them! They definitely set the tone for a fun night! Jay was the perfect MC and kept things flowing seamlessly. We kept Kevin the drummer from Owls & Lions all night so we had a hybrid DJ setup. In our opinion it was so much better than just having a DJ or just having a band. Him and Jay kept people on the dance floor all night. So many people have called to tell us that it was the best wedding that they have ever been to and I attribute much of that to Jay, Nicole and Kevin. I had never met them in person before the wedding because we live a good distance away. When we finally got to meet on our wedding day they truly already felt like friends. We are looking forward to going and seeing Owls & Lions perform as soon as we can! Thank you thank you thank you!! Love, Lauren & Matt

JAY DELLA VALLE IS A GOD. We had a nontraditional ceremony in which our bridal party walked down the aisle to a song from the "Dumb and Dumber" soundtrack and I, the bride, marched out to "Another One Bites the Dust." All that, in addition to my nagging mother's annoying song requests for our reception, was made an amazing reality thanks to Jay and the crew at Spinners Entertainment. He even made my in-laws smile, which I haven't been able to do in the almost seven years I've been with their son. (He also made sure to honor our requests for no speeches and no line dances, even when irritating guests requested them.)

Jay from Spinners Entertainment is the BEST!! From start to finish it was the easiest experience, Jay was always there for us! We had the best time at our wedding and danced the night away! THANK YOU SO MUCH JAY!

We had Spinners Entertainment/Owls and Lions with the full band/DJ, magic mirror package for our wedding last month and could not have been happier with the experience. THEY'RE THE BEST! I have worked with Jay, Kevin and Nicole on a regular basis since 2010 when I first became and event planner and knew from the very first time I saw them play at a client's wedding that I would need them at mine. They can get a party started like no other band/DJ I have ever seen and they did just that at my wedding last month. Not only did Jay give our guests a night to remember, but he was also there to help us with ideas throughout the entire planning process whether it was logistics and timing or music selection, Jay was always available to give us advice. They made every detail of our event special and even let my Uncle sing our processional song while Jay played the guitar along with him. They were open to any crazy idea we had and made it even better than we could have imagined. We truly cannot thank them enough for all they did to make our big day the best it could have been!

Where do I even start with jay, and The owls and lions. So my husband and I really wanted a band but had to stay within our budget. That’s where we found Spinners Entertainment. First of all, they are worth SO MUCH MORE than what the rates are. Which means your getting more for what you pay for 100% hands down. He gave us the amazing option of accommodating us with his amazing band Owls and Lions and also his exceptional Dj’ing skills. I could not have gotten enough compliments about Owls and Lions. I had an overwhelming amount of text messages about how great they were. They played for my ceremony, (the entire thing) while people were sitting and waiting and during when the bridal party came out to a song that meant a lot to us. They did exactly what I envisioned and it was PERFECT. The cocktail hour was even better. The party before the party is what it felt like because of the great positive and uppity vibes that they just were responsible for, had filled the room. I had them for an hour of the reception and regret not having them longer. They really got the party started. Not only do they get the party started right, they get involved in the actual party! It was amazing. I would recommend owls and lions to ANYONE for ANY event not just a wedding. Simply amazing. Now for jay. The last 3 hours of our reception was all JAY Della Valle. And let me just say this guy is indescribably AMAZING at what he does. The entire time Jay was calm, cool collected. He was confident in what he was doing. He had my party going NUTS. I have never seen an entire dance floor filled and all the seats empty at a wedding. It was EXHILARATING. He fed off of our crowd and our party and everything he played was perfect. Like I said everyone wanted to know who our DJ was because it was the best most fun wedding they have been at and I owe a lot of it to Jay and Spinners Entertainment. I can’t thank you enough jay and your crew for making my day become over and beyond anything We ever expected. THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEARTS ! Nick and Drea MATAYAAAA :)

Jay was the heartbeat of our wedding. He was an MC, musician, and event helped keep the wedding moving along on track. We don't know what we would have done with out him.

Jay and Kevin are absolutely phenomenal. We took a shot with Spinners despite never seeing them before because my husband and I just had to have their band, Owls and Lions, perform at our ceremony and cocktail hour. We could not be more pleased that we did! My husband and I have a totally random, wide range of musical tastes and Jay incorporated all of our requests into the most fun night of music! Our guests were up and dancing the entire evening. We also had had a somewhat strange request for the dinner music, but Spinners delivered. Additionally, Jay totally took charge in getting certain aspects of our reception under control, and we are so grateful for his take-charge personality. These guys are the perfect balance of professional and fun. I can’t stop thinking about what a fun time everyone had, especially dancing and keeping the party going. I would very highly recommend Spinners to anyone for any event!

Spinner's Entertainment did an amazing job at our wedding and we could not be happier. We first met with Jay at my friends wedding. We loved how he played music that she specificially wanted to fit the theme of her wedding and how lovely it was that they had live music during her ceremony. We also had a blast with the Magic Mirror at their wedding and we knew that was a must-have for ours! Jay was so attentive to our wants and wishes for our wedding, but he also was honest with us if he thought something would not work. He helped us figure out the best songs for certain parts of our wedding and made it so easy to work with him. Our wedding was so much fun thanks to him! He paid attention to the songs we requested and the style of music we enjoyed and had our dance floor filled all night long. Our guests raved about the Magic Mirror and spent a lot of their night between the dance floor and the Magic Mirror. We loved that we were able to get digital downloads of all the pictures taken at the photobooth! They were such a laugh to look at when we received them! Jay had played guitar acoustically during our ceremony as well, and it was truly magical. It gave such a beautiful vibe to our wedding and we are so happy that we had chosen to have him play. He also caught us off guard with playing "Grow Old With You" by Adam Sandler towards the end of our wedding and had our guest surround us. My husband and I have a love for Adam Sandler movies, and an Adam Sandler movie was our first date. No one requested the song and when I asked him what made him play that song, he said he thought we would enjoy a little corny love song. He was 100% right. It made me so incredibly happy! We loved working with Spinner's Entertainment and we would recommend them all the time! They have a little bit of everything for everyone and they will make your night, a night to remember!

My husband and I got married two months ago, and I am still absolutely BLOWN AWAY by how awesome these guys are. I was so nervous about music at the wedding because I have been to weddings before where the music wasn't great and no one danced. I wanted a party, I wanted a full dance floor, and I sure got it. Spinners Entertainment/Owns & Lions was the best decision I made while wedding planning, hands down. Jay, Nicole & Kevin showed up on time, played live music as guests were arriving and during the ceremony. They then played live music during cocktail hour, and Jay & Kevin transitioned to full DJ after dinner. They are SO talented. Jay is a straight-up entertainer. During the DJ set, he was out on the dance floor singing to some of the hits and getting people going. I had friends texting me for days talking about how amazing they were. They completely exceeded my expectations. They played exactly what we wanted them to play plus they had fun with the DJ set and played the songs I never even knew I needed. On top of that, Kevin took some awesome videos of the party and fun boomerangs that they sent us after. Do not hesitate to book them-- DO IT NOW! I doubt you'll be able to find anything else as awesome and for a totally reasonable price. Thank you guys so much!!

Wow! I cannot day enough about how fun our wedding was on 11.2.18!! All because of Jay Dela Valle & Spinners Entertainment! They kept the party going all night! Jay is such a professional; he knows all the songs to play to appeal to a range of ages. Just the right balance of party music and romantic slow songs. He asked my husband and I about what we definitely wanted to hear and worked with us through the entire process. He made sure to deliver everything we wanted :) Additionally, his energy is contagious! He announced all the entrances with such passion! The whole place was buzzing :) Even their lighting package is on point! Jay additionally is a member of the band OWLS AND LIONS. We asked them to play at our ceremony and cocktail hour. They walked up and down the aisle as guests were being seated for our ceremony. He played love songs with his band and got everyone in the wedding mood. OWLS AND LIONS also rocked out during our cocktail hour! He played fun music even some Irish music which we loved! It was the best of both worlds; having a band and a dj! If you are questioning whether to hire SPINNERS ENT for your wedding- question no more! They are the best in the business. Thank you so much Jay and OWLS AND LIONS for making our day so PERFECT.

Jay is amazing!!! He was recommended to me by a co-worked and I quickly had a call with him after hearing her rave reviews. After our first call (and listening to Owls and Lions) my husband and I immediately knew that he was the DJ for us. We went to see Owls and Lions perform before our own wedding and when we talked to Jay, Nicole and Kevin it felt like talking to old friends. We booked Owls and Lions for our ceremony and cocktail hour and then Jay and Kevin DJ'd for the reception. They kept the party going all night! Jay kept the flow perfect through first dances, father daughter, mother son dances and dinner. By the end of the night he was out on the dance floor with the party and had the crowd going crazy. I cannot recommend Spinners Entertainment enough! This was honestly one of my favorite vendors that we booked throughout our entire planning process.

Jay and Owls and Lions were AMAZING. They provided the perfect blend of live acoustic music and DJ. He listened to and provided exactly what we wanted and our guests were up dancing the entire day. We also booked the magic mirror through Spinners and it was such a hit! Every one had such a great time and we cannot recommend them enough.

Owls and Lions was AMAZING! We loved the music they played, and all of our guests all week have been telling us how much they loved the music as well. They made our evening so special, and were a delight to work with throughout the entire process.

Jay and team were INCREDIBLE. From nailing our ceremony music timing through our unique blended wedding ceremony, to the awesome mix of Indian and American music that kept our guests dancing all night long, the live sax player, the magic mirror, and accommodating my last-minute request to serenade my now-husband at our reception (I literally texted Jay about it on the day of the wedding!) - they were perfect. You cannot go wrong with hiring these guys and in fact, you'll probably regret NOT hiring them! Thank you guys so much for everything!

Jay and Kevin were absolutely phenomenal to work with. They provided numerous options for us to select to make sure our wedding was perfect. The highlight of the night was definitely the Magic Mirror. It puts the standard photo booth to shame. All of our guests kept telling us they've never seen something like the Magic Mirror and how awesome it was. There was a line to use it the entire night! As for the music, it was kicked off by Jay singing our first dance song. Our guests were extremely impressed with his voice and told us it was a great personal touch. After that, they kept the party going the entire night. The dance floor was always packed and everyone was having a blast. Spinners Entertainment is definitely the way to go for your wedding or party. They're the absolute best.

BOOK THEM! Do not hesitate, they will seriously make your wedding day so perfect! Personally, we had Owls and Lions play during ceremony and cocktail hour and then Jay and Kevin DJ’ed for the reception. Nicole’s voice is downright magical. Jay reads the dance floor like a familiar book and knows exactly what the people want! If you want to watch the people you love enjoy every second of your wedding day, all you need is this trio of amazingness. Do it.

Spinners, specifically Jay, made our wedding absolutely awesome! We had acoustic guitar and singing as background music for the cocktail hour, and full DJ/MC service with lighting for the reception. The music was great and Jay really knows how to keep the energy flowing throughout the night. He knows when to slow down for meals or slow dances, and how to get people onto the floor. People who never get up to dance were on the floor by the second song! They know how to read the vibes of the room and adapt accordingly and will absolutely make any event memorable. Multiple guests commented that it was the best DJ they have seen at a wedding or elsewhere. The highlight of the night was probably the surprise at the end where Jay gathered all guests in a circle and sang "Cant Help Falling in Love" while playing ukulele. Can't recommend enough!

The only BEST DJ there is. Owls and lions are fantastic for ceremony and cocktail hour and then DJ for the reception. It’s an amazing combo. Everyone at my wedding can’t stop raving about how great Spinners was! Everything at my wedding was perfect start to finish. Jay knows how to control the crowd either pump them up or tone it down. You won’t be disappointed if you book Spinners, you’ll be ecstatic. It’s a mistake if you don’t hire these wonderful people.

Seriously the best DJ's around. I had seen Jay Della Valle DJ a wedding a few years ago and he was amazing. So, for our wedding, we had Owls & Lions play our cocktail hour and Jay DJ our reception- and we could not have been happier. Incredible energy from both the band and Jay. They both played great sets- and they had everyone out and dancing for our entire wedding. People still talk about how great our music was!! You will not be disappointed!!

Kevin & Jay spun it better than the Royals and kept our wedding on trend! From the minute my girls picked the black sequin dresses and then they were all over the Red Carpet at the Grammy's to Pantone announcing "Ultra Violet" as the color of 2018, we knew our wedding would be the party of the year and did not hesitate in booking Spinners Entertainment to help us pull it off! When we questioned Nella, the General Manager at The Crystal Plaza- if she knew of Jay Della Valle and Spinners- she immediately said "I know Jay for years, he's the best!"... which made us feel great since we'd already sent him a deposit! There was no need to shop around because we knew Spinners work! After attending weddings they had played, we were confident they could deliver a fresh mix of slow songs for our families to salsa and rumba then close the night out with Old Skool Beats leaving out all the cheesy dances in the middle! When I told Jay I wanted to walk down the aisle to "November Rain" by Guns and Roses (think 90's super cool music video)... he gracefully reminded me that it wasn't a very happy song, asked me to re listen to it and steered me toward a more classic but trendy "ShaBoom- ShaBoom" with an interlude into "Can't Help Falling in Love With You" for the flower girl & ring bearer who stole the show! I've received many compliments about how much fun our wedding was and how everyone of all ages danced the night away. I have been told that the violinist in Owls and Lions "Killed It!"... the attention to detail and flow with live music really made our wedding classy! I do have to admit, Kevin and Jay thought I was a little off my rocker at first when I told them to remix me a slow to fast version of Whitney Houston's "I Wanna Dance with Somebody" for our first dance- quite nontraditional- but they made it happen & as the napkins started to fly we all knew it was a hit! So much that Megan and Harry copied 3 weeks later on their big day! **What a PARTY we had!!**

Jay was great--easy to work with and he flawlessly executed everything we asked him to do--which was primarily to get people on the dance floor and keep the party going all night--and he delivered! Big thanks to Jay and the Spinners crew for playing such a big part in making our day so awesome and care-free. We will happily recommend you to any of our friends looking for entertainment. Here's what our friends had to say: "DJ kept the dance floor moving and I danced my face off." "Your wedding had the most crowded and intensely fun dance floor of any wedding I’ve attended."

From 'Owl's & Lions' (an amazing acoustic duo) greeting everyone before the ceremony, a pianist hitting the keys perfectly during the ceremony, the acoustic duo again throughout the cocktail, and then Jay and Kevin as the MC/DJ team that kept the party going right. Spinners Ent. was a great choice of whom to deliver our vision of the wedding. A couple major things about this company which we loved was that they were very customizable, and that they tailored every step of the way to just as we wanted it to be. Their TV screens setup showed live candid photos throughout the reception, which also provided us with an extra angle of professional photos to take home. Everything mentioned above, as well as their "Magic Mirror" photo station and lighting, made the event one never to be forgotten. THANKS SPINNERS!

We were beyond thrilled with our experience of working with Spinners Entertainment for our wedding. Our guests were so impressed with how Jay and his team transitioned from classical music for the ceremony, to the folk music of Owls and Lions during the cocktail hour, to DJ for our reception. Spinners took our music selections and created an amazing time for our guests. Very easy to work with and professional! Would absolutely recommend!

We had Jay and Kevin DJ our Wedding at the Park Savoy in Florham Park, NJ and it couldn't have gone better!!! Kevin played the drums along to the music throughout the night and Jay played all the songs we wanted and even sang a song or too. My wife and I went for the Magic Mirror enhancement which was a great hit for our guests. You are in great hands with Spinners Entertainment and I would recommend them for any and every occasion.

My initial call with Jay Del put me at ease and I realized I'd come to the right place for our wedding's entertainment. After discussing at length exactly what we wanted and landing on a very reasonable price Jay assured us that Ollie would do a great job. The entire process was very easy. We spoke to Ollie the week before the wedding which bolstered our confidence even more. He was understanding of the type of night we wanted and delivered in a big way. Ollie was professional, dictated the mood of the room without being invasive or overbearing and was very kind. It was a wonderful night and Ollie provided the soundtrack. We have very little experience with hosting large events but moving forward we know who we will use for our next event without question.

Music is soo important to us & Jay Della Valle/Spinners Entertainment knocked it out of the park! People are still raving about the music and Owls N Lions at our wedding! Jay did NOT disappoint! Everyone danced, he played every song we requested, & It couldn't have been more perfect. It couldn't have been more US, and to me there are just not enough thank yous for that!! Jay was always available, helpful, and beyond easy to work with. Wedding planning can be so stessful, check one thing of your list and don't waste any more time! Go with Spinners and get ready to have an incredible time!!!

I first saw Owls & Lions perform at a wedding that I went to a month before I got engaged. I fell in love with their performance at the cocktail our. Every song was performed perfectly - whether it was a classic oldie or a modern song, all were performed with a soft, folky fun twist that made their performance unique and memorable. When I started planning my wedding, I knew immediately that I wanted Owls & Lions to be a part of my day. I called Jay right away to discuss all of our options and booking them, and he was very easy to communicate with via phone and e-mail through the entire process. I chose them to play during my ceremony, which was such a unique touch when guests were arriving. They played every song that I wanted during the ceremony. During cocktail hour, I added their percussionist to create a more upbeat vibe to the music. It made cocktail hour a fun experience and they are truly entertaining, not just background music. They play a variety of music that can appeal to everyone. I have received so many compliments on their engaging performance during the ceremony/cocktail hour. For the reception, I chose Jay to DJ. He did an amazing job at introductions and controlling the flow of the reception, and then an even better job at getting everyone on the dance floor. He was the most tasteful DJ that I have ever seen at a wedding. He came out into the dance floor during one of the slower songs to sing it, which was such a nice performance and people kept commenting how great that was. I also had him do the uplighting, which created a romantic ambiance during dinner and then a fun atmosphere for dancing. The entire night was even more amazing than I could have imagined, and I am so thankful that we chose Owls & Lions/Jay as our DJ. I would not have changed one thing!

We hired Jay anencephaly Owls and Lions after seeing them perform at a wedding showcase. Their sound was exactly what I was looking for, and I knew that Jay would understand our music taste. I was blown away by Nicole’s version of Still Falling For You that I picked out specifically for me to walk down the aisle to. She made it a perfect moment. We didn’t get to spend a lot of time at cocktail hour to see Owls and Lions, but we heard amazing feedback from our guests. Jay and his assistant Kevin were perfect at the reception. They pronounced all of the complicated Russian names perfectly, had amazing musics cued up, and found the perfect moment for all of our special dances. They even brought in an amazing vocalist, Erika, to sing during dinner which everyone loved! She made a big impact and entertained our guests. Jay kept the music going the whole party, and threw in a bunch of songs that fit perfectly with our taste. I would definitely reccomend Jay, Owls and Lions, and spinners entertainment to anyone who is planning a wedding!

OMG Jay, Kevin, Nicole, and the entire Spinners / Owls & Lions team were RIDICULOUSLY AMAZING. They have an unbelievable sound, amazingly generous nature, and absolutely CRUSHED IT. They are a unique band that will absolutely guarantee your guests have THE. BEST. TIME. The most fun I've ever had, and all my guests told me it really was the best wedding they ever went to, which I completely agree with, even if I am biased!!! :) Thanks to the Owls & Lions team for making our wedding so memorable - we'll have to plan parties just so we can hang out with you guys again!! L & A 10.21.17

OMG. I got a Selfie Magic Mirror from Jay for my wedding and it was a hit. He is so easy to work with along with his staff. Kevin was at my wedding manning the table and he was awesome. LOVED ITTTTTT

Owls and Lions was at my wedding in June and that were absolutely amazing! From the ceremony to the cocktail and then the reception they did a flawless and wonderful job! I couldn't of been more pleased with their services! The next day, my guests couldn't stop talking about how they loved the band during the ceremony/cocktail hour and how they never experienced anything like that. Ceremonies are usually the same old wedding ceremony but Owls and Lions brought a totally different vibe to my ceremony and made it all the more memorable! They made the whole process so pleasant and easy and thank you again Jay and Owls and Lions!! :)

AMAZING! We have received so many compliments on finding this amazing group of people! We used the Owls and Lions for our cocktail hour! They have amazing talent and a wonderful playlist! From there we also utilized them for the DJ and uplighting! All which was GREAT! Jay got everyone up and moving all night long! Lots of fun! Definite recommend!

Spinners Ent. was amazing. We had the pleasure of having DJ Ollie do our music for our cocktail hour and reception. HE WAS AMAZING! He blended Armenian/Latin/Top 40 seamlessly throughout the night. He made sure everyone was on the dance floor all night. Be sure to get the Magic Mirror too! It was a lot of fun especially for the kids.

We got married on July 3, 2017 in Poughkeepsie, New York. For our reception we had Mike Murphy and Ollie. He was amazing! He really knew how to give life to the party and he was funny and charismatic during our entire reception. The music was perfect and I had people coming up to me during and after the wedding asking about our DJ and MC. Thank you Mike and Ollie. You helped make our wedding unforgettable!!!

Spinners Entertainment was absolutely incredible. Jay played the best variety of songs all throughout the night to entertain all our guests and at the end of the night when only the young guests were left dancing played the most BOMB mix I have ever heard. We also hired the sax player which was such a nice, unique touch. He not only complimented the up beat music but walked around during dinner time and played romantic music which was surprising and lovely. Then he did an autotune/daft punk song which was sooo good as well. The selfie mirror was also a hit and a nice upgrade to a standard photobooth since it allowed you to interact with it. Lastly, All of the guests loved owls and lions who played during our ceremony and cocktail hour. Their voices were amazing and they were able to improvise in the moment to enhance the overall experience for our guests. would highly recommend Spinners Entertainment to anyone who wants to take their wedding to the next level.

My wife and I made the incredible decision to hire Owls & Lions and Spinners Entertainment for our wedding on July 22, 2017. From our first phone conversation, I knew that we were in good hands with Jay Della Valle at the helm. He took the time to get to know us and our music tastes, and even committed to learning two new songs for the ceremony! During the reception, Jay and Kevin took our favorite songs and ran, following the energy in the room and playing a fantastic variety of songs for every taste. The dance floor was packed all night and we couldn't have been more pleased! Jay accommodated all our requests while also using his expertise and creativity to keep the party going. We didn't have to worry about a thing. Our guests could not stop remarking to us about how amazing the music was, from the gorgeous performance at the ceremony, to the cocktail hour, when Jay and Nicole roamed throughout the mansion performing acoustic songs to our guests. So many of our guests told us that it was the best wedding they had ever attended, and we certainly have Jay and Spinners Entertainment to thank!!

I don't even know where to start.. We held a wedding at my parents farm and really wanted a band. What we did get was so much better!!! Spinners Entertainment set us up with our DJ Jay. Jay heard about our original plan for a band and told us about the "Owls and Lions". This was a 2 person acoustic band (violin and guitar) and let me just say our guests were blown away with all the personal and intimate touches these two musicians brought to our ceremony and cocktail hour. When the time came to switch to the reception, Jay and his MC smoothly switched the setting and started the party. They were fabulous with the wedding party announcements and even gave the flower girls and ringbears (ages 4-10) a pep talk before entering the tent with all the guests. They kept the party going and to be honest we really did not make this DJ's life easy. We gave them a couple genre's and a few specific songs to play and told them to do their thing; AND THEY NAILED IT!! To top it off at the end of the night, Jay sang a final song while playing his guitar giving us one more amazing memory to hold on to while our guests watched close by and joined in on the serenading. We have already passed on both the information "The Owls and Lions" and Spinners Entertainment with Jay to family as everyone truly did fall in love with them!

Spinners Entertainment was absolutely fantastic. If I could give them a higher rating I would. Jay took care of my (now) husband and I so well and was responsive, supportive, and flexible from day one until our wedding. Jay is just a joy to be around! He did room lighting as well which took our party from ok to amazing. The room looked incredible. At the wedding, he made us feel like stars, double checked everything and led the way to an incredible party. People who NEVER dance were up and dancing and he seamlessly integrated our song choices. He also was able to transition from one thing to the next like a pro. Nobody does it like Spinners. Everything was spectacular, and we had not one complaint about our DJ from any aspect of the cocktail hour, reception, or even the planning leading up to the wedding. We had the best party of the century. If you wanna challenge me on that, you'll have to hire Spinners and see if they can live up to their reputation! (Spoiler alert: they will).

We first heard about Spinners Entertainment from a friend of mine. My husband and I decided to see Jay perform at a wedding expo with Owls and Lions. We did not have to look any further. We knew we had to book them for our cocktail hour and after talking to Jay we knew he would certainly get the party going during the reception. I had so many people ask me during and after the wedding who the DJ was and how great he was! We even had guests (an engaged couple) go up to him during the night asking for his business card. The best part of the night is during dinner Jay sang "Walking in Memphis." He is so talented and we are so glad we decided to go with Spinner's Entertainment!

Jay Della Valle is the man! We knew after he performed at my sister's wedding that we were going to book them for ours! We hired Owls and Lions to perform an acoustic ceremony as well as Jay as Emcee and DJ for our reception. The wedding music was unstoppable. Owls and Lions set such a beautiful tone for our ceremony, it was magical. We had a winter glam wedding, not necessarily the theme that might come to mind when considering Owls and Lions but they were absolutely perfect for our indoor, evening wedding. Jay knew exactly the vibe we were going for an nailed it. He helped us combine songs for the first dances and really knew how to get the crowd going! I never stopped dancing! Guests are still talking about our wedding, our dances, our music and how much of a ball it was. I know so much of this is thanks to Jay and his team at Spinners Entertainment. We are so happy, thankful and grateful for your services that day. We were so happy to share our special day with you and we have already recommended Jay to friends and family. I hope to attend another wedding with Jay & Spinners Entertainment so I can have that much fun again! Cheers! P.S. THE SELFIE MIRROR IS EPIC – Our guests definitely enjoyed it! :)

My wife and I hired Jay to handle EVERYTHING for us... the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception... and EVERYTHING was perfect. For the ceremony, we were very particular and told Jay we had several songs along different parts and even cues when each song should play... Jay took it all in with a 'no problem' and nailed each one! During the cocktail hour, we had his guitar/violin duo Owls & Lions perform live which was amazing and we were already getting compliments from our guests. At the reception, again, all expectations were above and beyond. All the songs we wanted to hear were played and Jay stayed away from all the songs/genres we weren't into (which was REALLY important to us). He rallied the crowd when needed, knew when to slow down the music, and even blew people away when he sang one or two songs himself! The right DJ is SO important when it comes to a wedding... the music really can make or break the event. As far as we're concerned, Jay (and his team) is the perfect choice to making the music ensemble everything you imagine at your wedding. You can't go wrong hiring him.

Dear Owls & Lions, We want to thank you for your incredible performance at the engagement party for my son and his fiance. The music was perfect! Your smiling faces, the spirited vocals ... my family and I will cherish the memories forever!

Amazing entertainment that guests are still raving about! Spinners Entertainment brought the house down at our wedding reception and made it a night to remember. We worked with Mike M. who spent a lot of time with us before the wedding to ensure he understood our vision of a perfect wedding reception, and he absolutely delivered. Mike's professionalism and attention to detail immediately put us at ease as we knew we were in good hands. In addition to hosting the party, Mike was diligent and attentive to everything that was going on during the reception to make sure the night went off without a hitch. We couldn't have been happier! As for the music, we went with a pianist during our cocktail hour, and then paired a DJ with a saxophonist and a percussionist during the reception. The guests LOVED the DJ/live music combo. All of the music was absolutely incredible which kept the dance floor packed all night. If you're looking for unique, dynamic and professional entertainment to host your event, look no further than Spinners Entertainment.

Jay was amazing! We are both in the industry so we had very high standards on our DJ and other vendors. Jay knocked it out of the park! We gave him the a vision of what we we wanted in a DJ and he ran with it. Not only did he have the party going but also made sure to include all different types of genres of music to get others on the dance floor. He was flexible and we did not have to worry at all because he took care of everything. We also had Owls and Lions play at our ceremony/cocktail hour and our friends and family are still talking about it. We would highly recommend him over and over again!

If there were more stars I would give them! Jay and Spinners are THE BEST! My wedding was amazing because of him. The perfect mix of mellow acoustic music during cocktail hour and high energy DJing after dinner. A great range in genres to make all guests happy and up on their feet dancing the night away. Jay made sure to understand what we wanted and put his "spin" on it as the professional who knows what the party needs! Everyone had the best time, I still get compliments even now. Jay is not only a DJ but the ultimate entertainer, emcee, singer and all around best. Nice, talented, professional and made my wedding a night I will never forget! Thanks Jay!

While planning our wedding my husband and I were growing increasing frustrated at the tacky sales pitches from entertainment companies spending more time telling us what they do then listening to what "we wanted" for our wedding. We accidently ran across an Owls & Lions video online and immediately knew this is what we wanted for our wedding!!!! We reached out to Jay and entire process from beginning to end was as easy as you could wish for - Jay was only concerned with what our vision for our wedding was and for the parts that we didn't have a specific request in mind, Jay put us at ease making recommendations. We were completely confident he would make everything special. He did not disappoint!!!Owls & Lions played during our ceremony/cocktail hour and Jay (Spinners) was the DJ for our reception. If you want to add that special touch to your wedding Spinners Entertainment & Owls & Lions is the way to go! Let's face it the wedding night goes by so fast and it is a whirlwind (I know everyone tells you this but you don't believe it will happen to you :) one of our fondest memories from the evening was an entire table eating dinner busting out in song to Billy Joel Scenes from an Italian Restaurant (Jay's dinner music selection) and it spread across the room with everyone joining in. The wedding photos of everyone dancing and singing all night says it all - proof everyone had a blast! After all that is what it is all about - friends and family coming together to celebrate this special occasion and having a awesome evening. Don't hesitate to contact Jay if find yourself in a similar situation to us -his professionalism, style and expertise in accenting "your day" in top notch.

My wife Heather and I recently got married a few short weeks ago and feel so lucky with how everything turned out on our special day. Jay, Nicole and Kevin provided the entertainment for the entire event. Owls & Lions acoustic for the ceremony and cocktail hour, with Jay and Kevin from Spinners Ent. Dj'ing and Performing for the reception with live vocals and percussion. Coming from a long musical background, I was a fanatic when it came to this portion of the night and would be lying if I said I wasn't at all nervous. I thoroughly enjoyed everything I saw while doing my research of all aspects and after several conversations with Jay, I decided to just tell Jay to be an artist and give us a great time with great music. I said I want everyone dancing and non stop energy. At no point in time was ANYONE at our wedding disappointed. Starting with the ceremony and cocktail hour.. All 3 delivered perfectly classy, tasteful and fun performances. Nicole's violin skill and gorgeous voice, Jay's acoustic guitar and diverse vocal talent along with Kevin adding on point percussion made everything perfect on a nice fall afternoon. During the reception.... exactly what I asked for... limited top 40, just great music. Jay sang at all the right times and Kevin adding live drums gave the appearance of a much bigger and more extravagant show than we could afford. Not not a single person sat all night long. Literally.... We had people coming up to us all night long asking how they weren't famous and saying that our wedding was the most fun they have ever had at a wedding and the music was by far the best they ever heard. I have to agree 1000%!!! I have been thinking of all the things I can organize just to include them in for the music at work events, family events and more. Everything went so easy and smooth.. you would be a fool to not use them all! Thanks to you all for the perfect night. I can't wait to get together for the next event!
