Thanks to recommendations from couples on The Knot
You’ve probably been to weddings where the dance floor slowly fades out.
That’s not what you’re planning.
You want a night where your people look around at each other like, “This is unreal.”
That’s what we can build for you.
We work with modern, design-forward couples who care about how their wedding feels just as much as how it looks.
We make it easy to party.
From the first planning call to the final song, you’ll have full-time wedding support, modern planning tools that keep everything organized, and a DJ who knows how to read a room.
We want it to feel natural and like you.
If that sounds like the kind of night you're looking for, we're rooting for you and we'd love to chat

We couldn't have asked for a better DJ for our wedding! From the beginning, Wyatt was easy to work with. He was a quick responder when we had questions, and he really understood ou...
r vision for our wedding. His website is user-friendly and the professionalism was unmatched. On our big day, he kept the energy up through cocktail hour, the entrances, first dances, speeches, and had everyone on the dance floor all night long. Everything went so smooth and we didn't have to worry about a thing. He assured us that he knew how to read the crowd and play the perfect mix of songs to keep the party going, and he was right. All of our guests had such a blast. We received SO many compliments about the music and atmosphere.
We also took advantage of Empire State Event's PhotoBooth option and it was a HIT. We chose to get digital copies, which our guests received immediately, and we got the link to all of the photos the very next day!
If you and your fiance are looking for a DJ who’s professional, fun, and truly knows how to keep everyone dancing all night, we highly recommend Wyatt and Empire State Events! My now-husband and I are telling all of our engaged friends to book Wyatt because him and his team are just that good! Thank you for helping to make our wedding so special, Wyatt and team!

d up his expertise to make sure every detail was captured and thought through. Unfortunately our venue had some hiccups that caused some changes last minute to the timeline, but DJ Sarri (Justin) was able to use his professionalism and knowledge to make it seamless and seem as though that was always the plan. We have heard nothing but compliments from our guests since the wedding weekend has ended. We have promoted him every chance we can get and he is now doing my best friend’s wedding. We have nothing but incredible things to say about Empire State Events and DJ Sarri.

The BEST DJ , and I will die on that hill. Wyatt went above and beyond for our wedding on July 25th, 2025. We were so Indecisive with what music for each part of the wedding, first...
songs to dance to etc and Wyatt scheduled a call to help relieve that unsure feeling, and I felt such relief. The music was incredible, vibes were immaculate and they kept my party on the dance floor all night. My biggest concern was playing one whole song and not mixing with the next(if that makes sense?) and he made sure that didn’t happen. The mashups were unmatched. We cannot say thank you enough!!!

Music/DJ selection was one of the most exciting and important aspects of wedding planning for my fiancé and I. We wanted to be sure that the person we selected would not only play ...
the right music to keep everyone dancing, but also have the personality to interact with the crowd just the right amount, as well as include other details that were important to us, like a photobooth, cold sparks, and a live musician. We are so grateful to have found all of that with Wyatt in Empire State Events.
From our first email conversation, Wyatt was responsive and professional. His initial presentation regarding services and offerings was thorough and professional, and he was more than willing to answer any of our questions over the next few weeks as we made our decision. Additionally, he was extremely accommodating in working with us to build a custom package that fit our needs and wants.
As we planned our wedding over the next several months, Wyatt stayed in touch with helpful reminders and tips via email to keep us on track in the planning process. As we got closer to our wedding date, the VIBO app made the song-selection process extremely smooth. The app is user-friendly, and it walked us through every single part of our day, offering countless song options and versions for us to choose from (as well as providing the option for us to input our own). Wyatt was even extremely accommodating with using a custom file personally made for us by a friend.
We truly cannot recommend Wyatt and his team enough if you are looking for a fantastic DJ and team for your special day!

When we got engaged, the first vendor we booked was Wyatt with Empire State Events as our DJ. Wyatt DJ’d at our brother and sister in law’s wedding and was phenomenal so the choic...
e was an easy one for us.
Wyatt took multiple calls with us to ensure we were all on the same page regarding ceremony music, cocktail hour vibes, dinner music vibes and reception vibes. He listened to all our thoughts and was 100% on the same page with us.
Not only that, he was able to pull off the ultimate surprise for me when my bridesmaids and mom approached my now husband about doing a surprise performance to Super Trooper during our reception. My husband reached out to him separately to ask if he could add it to the song list but please not to let me know and somehow, they pulled it off.
Wyatt kept the energy levels up, our guests engaged and us enjoying the happiest day of our lives. He was a true pleasure to work with and honestly I wish everyone we know would book him as their DJ from now on just so we can hang out with him!
Thank you, Wyatt and team for an amazing amazing experience!

When my wife and I began planning our wedding, we wanted to select vendors who were already known to be caring, passionate people, and experts at their craft.
Due to our personal...
ities and our friend groups, we knew that music and dancing would be of the utmost importance, so we wanted to find the right DJ for us!
Through the recommendations of our wedding planners (Prince Pellman Group), we met with three DJ service companies in the local Albany region. We first met with Corey, the Director of Client Relations from Empire State Events. Corey was so efficient at getting back to us in such a timely manner that we met with Empire first. During our meeting, we made a fun connection and it helped us imagine exactly what our wedding could look like, and he already had a DJ in mind for us who’d be a great fit for the tone of our wedding.
We met with another company the next day, and the first thing I said to my wife after that meeting was, “Can we please cancel our third meeting and just go with Empire?” And we absolutely did!
The reasons we chose them were due to how well they already knew our venue, their high recommendation from the venue itself, and especially from our wedding planners. Even though other DJ services were less expensive, the package we chose offered services like a somewhat custom playlist (I loved this because our DJ understood our taste in music so well that he played songs that were so hype at the right moments, and we didn’t even put all of those songs on our playlist!), uplighting, and a photo booth, which would have been added on fees for the other companies, making our decision even easier.
Corey then connected us with our wedding DJ, Cody, aka DJ Gigabit! After getting to know us better in the months leading up to our wedding through a questionnaire and a few video chats, we experienced how professional he was in communicating with our wedding planners and other vendors. He was just so kind that we were more than confident in Cody going into our wedding day. Through amazing microphone and speaker sound quality and his MC abilities, Cody created the greatest and most fun environment for everyone. I kept having people tell me on the dance floor how amazing the DJ is!
Throughout the wedding, Cody checked in on us and made necessary announcements that made it so we didn’t have to worry about a thing. Neither of us left the dance floor for more than ten minutes total the entire night! We are so thankful for Cody and Empire State Events for being a huge part of making our wedding the best night of our lives!

omend anyone at Empire State events, Thaddeus was incredible and really helped our dream come to life. We have been planning our wedding for just shy of two years, and Thaddeus was available the whole time despite planning so far in advance! All of my friends and family have commented on how much fun they had especially with all our music choices which were curated perfectly by Thaddeus! We received the photobooth with our package which was a hit as well. I truly didn’t want the night to end as it was a perfect day, but mostly because the dance floor was packed and everyone wanted to stay even longer. I would do that day over and over again if I could because it was truly so much fun. Their planning app made things a breeze and it could not have gone any better. Thank you all so much for making our day so much better!

I had the wonderful experience of having Empire State Events (and specifically DJ Wyatt) work my wedding this past weekend. I cannot say enough good things about the team. From t...
he start, they work with you to see what your needs are. They have a large team, (all of which have music samples available to listen to), so you can find a DJ who may best match your style.
They offer you so much guidance along the way - as much or as little as you want. They will send you helpful info along the way as well as a very comprehensive planner so you can fill in all your important details - from your wedding party, to dress and suit inspirations, to helping you organize seating charts, gift trackers as well as to track your budget.
The ability to schedule unlimited calls is also wonderful. Often, the calls were really only a few minutes needed, but much more convenient than trying to explain yourself in a text or email when speaking verbally would probably make it much less complicated.
I had many musical visions for our wedding, and the Empire State Events team listened to every one of them and did what they could to make the dream come true -and they accomplished just that!
Highly recommend the team - very professional, very attentive and know how to get the job done!

We found Empire State events through the wedding expo in Albany. They matched us up with a dj based off of a meeting discussing our vibes and what we wanted.
We're still on cl...
oud nine thinking about our wedding celebration, and DJ Kyle (Dj Chamber Guy) is a huge reason why it was an unforgettable night! Kyle went above and beyond our wildest expectations.
From the planning process, Kyle's use of a super intuitive app (Vibo) made coordinating a breeze, taking a huge load off our shoulders. But it wasn't just about the tech; Kyle himself was a constant source of support, checking in regularly with thoughtful advice and Empire State events would send emails with helpful tool packages as well.
When the big day arrived, DJ Kyle's infectious enthusiasm really set the tone. He wowed us with a bespoke mix of our guests' first dance songs, played during dinner – it was a smash hit that got everyone talking and feeling celebrated! And the way he mashed up the entire playlist himself, with zero hesitation, blew us away. This was something we saw off tik tok and he made it come to life for us.
The saxophone touch? Our guests are STILL raving about it – it was the coolest detail that elevated the whole vibe! Kyle isn't just about spinning tracks; he's a performer who brings an electrifying energy that draws everyone in.
He didn't just play music; he got on the mic, handed it to us, let us jump on the turntables – he made us feel like co-creators of the magic.
For us, the party aspect was the heartbeat of our wedding – it was about CELEBRATING BIG with our loved ones – and Kyle absolutely nailed it. From ceremony to cocktail hour to reception, every song hit just right. Our guests keeps saying they’ve never been to a wedding where the dance floor was PACKED ALL NIGHT!!
And let's talk about his professionalism – Kyle rolled with the punches like a pro! When things ran a tad late, or my dad swooped in and invited everyone to dance early, Kyle flowed with it seamlessly and expertly steered us back on track. It was impressive and stress-free – exactly what you want on your wedding day! He also checked in during so that we had no regrets.
Kyle and Empire State events is worth every penny and MORE. If you want a wedding that's talked about long after the last dance is done – BOOK DJ Kyle (Dj Chamber Guy) Our guests are still buzzing about him, and we couldn't be more grateful to have had him be such a huge part of our unforgettable celebration 💃🕺 After he event sent us videos he tok himself that weren’t captured by our videographer!

l, and completely on top of the details. He introduced us to the VIBO platform, which made planning so easy. I could see everything in advance, and the best part was being able to share a link with staff so they could add their favorite songs. Cody then worked his magic, building a playlist around everyone’s selections and blending it seamlessly for the event.
On the day of the party, Cody even called to let me know he was on his way—something small but so reassuring. I never once had to worry about whether he’d show up on time. The weather threw us a curveball with some rain, but Cody adjusted quickly and kept the energy high. His announcements were perfectly timed, and he truly helped set the tone for a fun, memorable event.
In my opinion, the DJ is one of the most important aspects of a corporate event—people might not remember what they ate, but they will absolutely remember the party. Thanks to Cody, our BBQ was a success, and we’re already looking forward to re-booking him for next year.

We just got married on June 21st, and Empire State Events was INCREDIBLE!!! Our lead DJ was Kyle, and we had assistant DJ Thaddeus and Evan as the DJ assistant. From the first call...
with Wyatt, right through our wedding, each and every one of them were amazing, and incredibly professional. We had a lot of enhancements for our wedding—CO2 cannons, Dancing on the Clouds, Photo Booth, and live music during cocktail hour and our wedding introduction. I honestly don’t know which was my favorite enhancement—each one was so amazing. Kyle played the saxophone and was absolutely INCREDIBLE.
They utilize the vibo app to set the playlist and structure for the night and it made everything so easy. After we input our information into vibo, we had a few calls with Kyle and we walked through the entire timeline of the night a few times—something I very much appreciated was just how thorough the team was. We felt listened to, cared for, and all of our dreams for the night were exceeded with this team.
The music was the most important part of the reception for us, and this team exceeded everything we could have asked for. Thank you Kyle, Thaddeus and Evan!

Thaddeus and Evan- from the bottom of our hearts thank you for everything you did last night. I heard over and over again how great the DJ was and they could tell you were professionals with your song changes. The fact Evan came out and wiped up the dance floor after one of our best friends spilled his drink (thank you for calling him out on that too, that was perfect😂) was a true testament to you guys being more than just the DJ. The whole venue was electric! I cannot give you both enough praise. Your personalities were top tier as well and we are so honored that you two helped mark down the happiest day of our lives. Thank you thank you thank you!!!!
I couldn’t have found a better team all around.
Can I give more than 5 stars across the board? Truly exceptional!

Kyle and his assistants, Spencer and Aidan, did such an amazing job in making our special day memorable. We got so many comments from our guests about how great the music was and o...
ur dance floor was packed all night thanks to Kyle and the team! The Photo Booth was also a huge hit and we love that they gave us a guest book for us to have the memories of all our family and friends. The planning process leading up to our big day was made so much easier by working with Kyle and using the Vibo app. Couldn’t recommend Empire State events enough!!

You NEED to book Empire State Events as your DJ! You will NOT be disappointed. The entire process from start to finish was effortless. Wyatt was very thorough, organized and a grea...
t listener (he presented us with a powerpoint on our initial call). Any time I had a question (from the time we booked him until the wedding) he was quick to respond via email or text. They provide an app where you answer planning questions and add all your songs. This made it so easy to plan on my part as I am a very visual person. Wyatt went above and beyond with his service on our big day and made sure we got exactly what we wanted (aka keep everyone on the dance floor all night). Don’t walk, RUN to your visionary call with Empire State Events!

Stop searching and book Empire State Events for your next event!
Wyatt and his team did absolutely amazing at our wedding. Mackenzie was so sweet and helpful to all of our guests...
at the Photo Booth. Cody & Tristen helped keep the day & night flowing smoothly, got some great videos, and were a huge help! Wyatt kept the dance floor packed all night, while making sure he played all of our favorite songs. The planning process was super easy. Wyatt helped answer any questions I had and provided advice & suggestions when needed. The DJ is one of the biggest parts of your wedding and having one that you trust 100% is the best feeling!

Look no further! We bounced around with a few DJ companies for our wedding and it just never felt right until we had a meeting with Empire State Events.
Wyatt runs a great servic...
e with an easy to use website allowing us to select from a diverse amount of DJs and live music options. The entire process was so easy and organized which was critical during a hectic wedding planning season.
We chose DJ TSWAG (Thaddeus) and we could have not been happier. We knew right away after seeing his profile on the ESE website that he was the DJ for us. If you want a DJ who has killer music taste and an amazing way of reading the crowd, he is your man! DJ TSWAG was able to get the entire room on the dance floor including the older folks to get up off their chairs and dance.
DJ TSWAG was also amazing with taking into consideration our song requests as well as throwing in his own signature of sounds to go with our theme. We had so many people tell us how much they loved the music and the DJ at our wedding which was so fulfilling to hear. I have been to weddings where the DJ can make or break the fun for the night, with DJ TSWAG no one wanted to leave the dance floor to the point we got an extra 15 minute extension from our venue to allow us to keep dancing!
If DJ TSWAG is available for your date, book him while you can!

Our wedding night was truly magical, and so much of that is thanks to our amazing DJ, Thaddus. From the moment we met, he took the time to understand exactly what we wanted, and th...
ey went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect. He seamlessly blended our favorite songs with crowd-pleasers, and the energy on the dance floor was incredible all night long! He read the room so well, and every transition was flawless. Our guests are still talking about how much fun they had, and we owe part to the incredible atmosphere Thaddus created. He helped make our special day unforgettable, and we couldn’t be more grateful. If you’re looking for a DJ who can truly make your night unforgettable, look no further!

We can’t begin to express how much we enjoyed working with Wyatt throughout the entire planning process and especially on our wedding day!
Wyatt was always responsive, professiona...
l, friendly and reliable. He clearly communicated the process and provided an easy to follow planning portal for us to work with. We also had the opportunity to make additional appointments outside of our standard check in calls throughout the planning process in case we needed to review anything or ask questions.
He was open to collaborate creatively with us and brought our vision to life for our ceremony, dinner, and reception music. He even went the extra mile to create a custom mix for us for a first dance and worked persistently and enthusiastically until we were happy with the end result.
Wyatt offered the perfect amount of hype for our guests, getting them all up out of their seats and out on the dance floor all night long! The team he brought day of our wedding for our Photo Booth were so kind and helpful to our guests as well! Every detail and unique component of our wedding he rose to the occasion and went above and beyond to ensure we had the best day.
We received so many compliments about DJ Romantics from our guests and even had other vendors we worked with request Wyatt’s information for future events which we gladly passed on!
We truly could not recommend DJ Romantics enough!!!

We had the pleasure of working with DJ TSwag! We saw this company at a wedding expo and immediately got the vibes that they were top notch from the start. From signing on, there wa...
s constant communication via google meets, which made the planning experience a lot more personable and reassuring. The planning platform was great and organized, which helped our DJ get a good sense of what our music taste is. DJ TSwag was great at checking in and going over every detail we wanted incorporated into our big day. Even with all the planning that went into our wedding, there was some things that didn't go as planned (not his fault), but DJ TSwag didn't skip a beat (lol) and adapted on his feet to make everything smooth!! Our wedding day was an absolute blast and I can't thank DJ TSwag enough for his contribution on making the music for our day nothing short of awesome!!!! I wouldn't hesitate to go hire this company or specifically DJ TSwag for your wedding day or event!

I recently hosted and planned a company BBQ for over 150 employees and their families. DJ- Cody Chamberlin capitalized on inclusivity for everyone in attendance! Cody's attention t...
o detail made the planning process a breeze and his professionalism and care he led with the day of the event made working with him exceptional. Cody added an element of excitement and comradery at this company event that elevated the experience. If you are looking for exceptional services, thoughtful communications, and an elevated environment for your employees to enjoy outside of the "office", I highly recommend booking Cody Chamberlin for your next company event!
