Powerstation was absolutely amazing! We used them for DJ, photography and videography, which was really helpful in the planning process. Heather is the best! She took some beautiful photos and was really great to work with. I think of her as our second wedding coordinator because she had some really great ideas for pictures and structuring the overall event. Rich was the best DJ I've ever seen and all of our guests keep telling us how amazing the DJ was. He listened to what we wanted in terms of music and once he got our guests up dancing, he kept them up dancing the whole night! The videography was perfect too. The video we got was so beautiful and well put together. It's like a long movie trailer of our entire day. I keep smiling, laughing and crying every time I watch it! I didn't even realize Kevin got all of the amazing shots that he did because I didn't even notice him during all the important times of the wedding (like the ceremony, first dance, cake cutting, etc.) We also got lighting through Powerstation and it looked so great! We had wireless lights all around the room it added such a nice touch to the whole evening. Working with Powerstation has been amazing and I highly recommend them!

From our first meeting with our DJ, Todd we knew that he would make our wedding night great. He was funny, upbeat and very professional. I have gotten so many compliments from my friends and also my parents friends that he played a perfect mix of music. I guess the best compliment to Todd would be that every wedding photo the all the guests were out on the dance floor! Even my grandmother enjoyed herself fully. We also rented from Powerstation purple room lighting, which added to the atmosphere and pulled in our theme color perfectly. I highly recommend Powerstation for extremely professional service. The best part is that it’s a large company and if for some unforeseen event the dj can’t make it they have another backup one on call and he would have all your details of the info and music requests. This added feature helps put your mind at ease that it will be a great night. A good dj equals a fun wedding where everyone enjoys themselves. Thanks...

We had a great time and having Jon March as our DJ helped. My husband is a music enthusiast and Jon played all the music that he wanted and kept the people on the dance floor.

Dave Salonia from Powerstation was the DJ at my wedding and I couldn't thank him enough. He was amazing!! He played exactly what I asked and knew exactly what else to play to keep the party going. The dance floor was packed all night long! He even got out on the dance floor himself and taught my family and friends different types of dances. By the end of the night all my guests told me how great he was. Two of my friends are also going to use him for their upcoming weddings! He's very professional, flexible and overall a really nice guy. I highly suggest you use him for your special day!!

Powerstation Events is the place to go if you want the best for your wedding. They are professional, reliable and very intent on making sure the customer is happy. Rich was our DJ and he was absolutely great. Our guests had such a great time. Our videographer AJ seemed to be everywhere at just the right times. I cannot wait to see everything when we get our DVD. And last but certainly not least, Susan was our photographer. She was AMAZING. Not only does she take beautiful pictures, but she interacted with my family and even helped everyone with their pins and boutonnieres! I HIGHLY recommend this vendor for any bride!

Rich Gumpert was a amazing DJ. I highly recommend Powerstation Events. We had met with music in motion as well, before picking a DJ. I'm so happy we went with Powerstation. They were friendly and gave us options of more than one DJ. They try to pick a DJ according to what you are looking for. Rich was our exact match. He keep the party going and everyone loved the music. He also did our ceremony music as well. It was just amazing. If I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't change a thing!! Amanda did our lighting as well for us, she did a great job. Lighting helps to set the mood and everything was beautiful.

We had Dave S. DJ at our wedding and he was absolutely fantastic! He was mindful of our music selections but also had the guests engaged the whole time. At one point my entire wedding reception was dancing, jumping up and down having a blast- it was awesome! I would definitely recommend Powerstation Events to others who are looking for a DJ!

We hired Dave Salonia from PowerStation. We had a great experience with Dave at our 7/30/2011 reception at Saybrook Pointe Inn in Old Saybrook, CT. Dave was very professional, we picked a lot of songs and he really tried to play them all. We just watched our wedding video over the weekend and people danced from before dinner until the party ended non-stop and we even ran out of room on the dance floor. Would recommend him for sure.

We used Dave Salonia from Powerstation for our wedding anniversary party (formal black-tie event at a wedding reception venue, very much like a wedding in terms of flow, toast, dance, etc.) and he was amazing! He is polite, pleasant, friendly, respectful, and professional. He was also so responsive to the guests in terms of requests, motivating people to dance, etc. He played a great mix of music to appeal to all ages. He arrived early, dressed in a tux, with a smile. He is honestly the best DJ we have ever seen. I would highly recommend him. So many of our guests told us that it was the best party they had ever been to. Everyone was on the dance floor and had a great time. Nobody wanted the party to end. I cannot say enough great things about Dave Salonia and Powerstation. Dave made our event such a success.

So the "one little thing" that went wrong at our June 3, 2011 wedding was the DJ (that was hired 1 year prior to the wedding, with whom we had a signed contract and paid in full prior to the wedding, who also did a walk through 3 days before the wedding) "mixed up the dates" and did not show up. In the midst of my full blown panic attack, our caterer suggested we contact Powerstation, who just happens to have someone on staff for this type of catastrophe. Our hero of the night, Chris Vagnini, showed up just under one hour later (the reception was at Harkness State Park in Waterford, CT- at least an hour and 15 minute drive from Cheshire CT) and got right to work. He said to me "all I need to know is what kind of music you guys like"- I gave him a short list and an idea of the genre and he was awesome, right from the first song. I gave him the few "must haves"- our wedding song, father-daughter dance song, mother-son song, and grandparents dance- and he took care of the rest. Our guests made requests and Chris played them, which made everyone happy. He faded out any song that may have cleared the dance floor and made sure he had our guests dancing and enjoying themselves all night. Our guests had no idea that there was any DJ issue at all- it was just seamless! I told him that he saved our wedding and it was absolutely true- the music was awesome, he was professional and knew exactly what he was doing and he did an excellent job. Powerstation is amazing and I cannot thank them enough for truly saving our wedding! We should have hired them from the start!!

Powerstation was great!! We used them for a DJ, ceremony musician, uplighting, and our A/V needs. Rich was our sales rep, and we also picked him to DJ our wedding. He was friendly, accommodating, and really knew exactly what we wanted from our music. He listened to us, asked about our styles, and put together a mix that kept our guests dancing all night. Rich was also very helpful with our A/V needs - we had some slideshows that were shown during parent dances, and his suggestion of bringing in a big flat screen worked out perfectly. We also had them set up beautiful uplighting that brought a nice sense of warmth to our reception. We wanted a classical guitarist for our ceremony who could then switch to a more jazz vibe for cocktail hour - and Powerstation delivered! Dave, our guitarist, did exactly what we wanted without much direction! He was professional, talented, and the guitar worked perfectly with our outdoor venue. Overall I would absolutely recommend Powerstation!

rich @ powerstation events stepped in and saved the day. we were without a dj till about 1 month before the wedding and were panicked. we had two phone conversations with him between then and the wedding and on the day of, he was so on top of it! friendly, kind and really funny, he captured the vibe we were going for. everyone kept saying, this is my dream playlist. he adjusted when needed, listened to requests from guests, but ran them by us first ( per our request). he looked out for our wedding's best interest and totally delivered. thank you so much!

David Rossi was an amazing DJ. Not only did we work with David at the wedding, but he was also our dance instructor. We worked with David for 2 sessions for our first dance. He was an excellent dance instructor and helped us have an amazing first dance. He also kept the party going at the wedding. He had the whole crowd dancing the night away. Thank you David for helping us to have an amazing wedding!!

Our DJ was great. My husband and I got to pick which DJ from the group best fit our interests and what we were looking for as far as musical entertainment.

DJ: Mike Papper......amazing! He played our requested songs and his own style and kept all our guest on the dance floor all night! Pleasant, smooth voice made the night enjoyable. The volume of the music was perfect (we had a table of elderly guests closest to the DJ station and they were happy). He did an excellent job on our ceremony music and made our reception intro a night to remember. We would highly recommend Mike. Photographer: Pam Moan.....was professional and courteous. She made great use of our time outside and kept the photos rolling so we could start the reception quickly. She turns invisible at the reception and gets great candid shots. The group shot of all the guests outside took quite a bit of coordinating but she got them all together for a great photo. Pam completed our entire "must have" photo list and took many other great shots. We highly recommend Pam.

Charlie did a wonderful job, its a year later and Im still getting comments about how my reception flowed so smoothly and had the best music. He did a great job really listening to what type of music we wanted played and stayed in that genre all night. Everyone had a great time!

He was such a pleasure to work with. He is clearly very experienced and brings comfort and a good sense of humor to the process. He is also very creative and got some amazing photos. We recommend this photographer to anyone.I cannot say enough good things about this amazing photographer! She is so talented, she has such a kind heart, she is unobtrusive on your wedding day, yet able to get some of the most touching pictures .You'll see her website and know that those photos are the same quality you'll actually get on YOUR wedding day!
