My husband and I got married in May and had the wonderful experience of having Chris as our DJ!! Working with him leading up to the wedding was so fun and easy-going. Anyone planning a wedding will know how stressful it can be, and Chris made the process so easy. His personality is fantastic and made the day so fun. He really set the tone for an amazing night. We had Chris for our Ceremony as well as our Reception (highly recommend doing both). We also included the Dancing on the Clouds add on for our first dance. It was absolute magic! We are so happy with the wonderful memories we have from the ceremony to partying on the dance floor. We are thrilled to recommend Chris to anyone and everyone! We couldn't have had a better experience.

The photographer, videographer, and photo booth was absolutely perfect and our guests had a blast! However, even after going through the work of submitting a Spotify play list and adding do not play songs or DJ played the wrong version of our first dance song (I checked and we had the correct version listed on our playlist we sent over), he also played songs from our do not play list to the point I, the bride, came over to ask if he had the wrong list. He admitted he was using songs from the do not play list as he was not paying attention. I would also like to note, though our wedding was more casual, our DJ was dressed in a sloppy manner. His shirt was half untucked from his pants, there were stains on his shirt and pants. Besides a few hiccups, direct Entertainment was wonderful to work with!

Schenectady, NY
  • Band or Ensemble

Wedding and event band based in New York’s Capital Region. We do cocktail jazz, wedding receptions, ceremony music and more. Today, jazz is a rarity, especially in its purist live form. This condition is a result of its limited availability, and the higher prevalence of rock bands in most areas. We at T. L. Holloway seek to alleviate this issue. As students of the jazz classics, we seek to provide authentic American jazz to venues and events all over the Northeastern United States.

Awarded Best of Zola
T.L. Holloway is the best choice we could have made to bring our vision to life on our wedding day!! Steve was so communicative from the start and worked so well with us to make sure he & the team were on our exact same page. We can't say enough wonderful things about their music as well! The songs, the music, the singing, the whole band was fantastic and exemplified the whole vibe we were dreaming of!

Being that we booked our wedding 18 months in advance we had the luxury of listening to just about every band in the Albany area.

We spoke to couples who had them at their wedding and the general consensus was they exceed their expectations. Hands down the best band in the area. If you are looking for a fun time with a band that can play ALL styles of music, you need to hire Grand Central Station

Shawn did an awesome job! He did the music for our wedding ceremony, the music for the reception, provided uplighting, and the photobooth. My now husband and I enjoyed working with Shawn. He is funny, easy going, and patient. His questionnaire is very detailed and is very helpful for pulling the music together for the day. He also was very focused on making sure my now husband and I heard what we wanted to hear for the music. During the ceremony, Shawn timed the music perfectly. We saw later watching videos that he even cut the microphone out for my brother, the officiant of the wedding, when my brother almost started talking over parents walking down the aisle. Thanks for that, Shawn! Later in the night, we had other challenges with our timeline due to longer than expected speeches, too many tables to say hi to, and my own indecisiveness. Shawn handled all these obstacles very smoothly, kept an eye on the crowd and helped us stay in tune with when we needed to get the dance floor going. He played the songs we requested and helped us out with choosing songs for younger people. Since the wedding went by so quickly, I think the thing I am most grateful for is all the photos and videos he took of the night. The day was a bit of a blur and Shawn let us relive the night by sending us tons of photos and videos of everyone dancing. Thank you for that, Shawn!

If you’re looking to tie the knot or throw an epic event, you have come to the right place. Complete Weddings + Events Albany, NY will help you find the right event or wedding photographer, videographer and DJ to throw a phenomenal party, plus we have fun photo booth and lighting rentals to elevate your event and give you the type of unforgettable experience you’re looking for. When you party with Complete Weddings and Events in Albany, it’s completely about you! Offering the best wedding services in the metro area.

When planning our wedding for December 6th, 2025, one of the biggest priorities for us was finding a DJ service that fit our budget without sacrificing quality. Complete Weddings Events Albany exceeded those expectations. Their pricing was right on par with what we needed, and their packages were extremely affordable while still offering a high level of service and professionalism. One of the things we found most important throughout the planning process was being able to meet with our DJ in person. Working face-to-face allows couples to build trust, communicate expectations clearly, and make sure the DJ understands the overall tone and flow of the day. DJ Dagger did exactly that for us. He met with us early in the process and multiple times leading up to the wedding, and that personal connection made an enormous difference. By the time our wedding arrived, he knew our personalities, our style, and the atmosphere we wanted. Because of those meetings, everything ran smoothly. The transitions were seamless, the music selections matched us perfectly, and he was fully prepared for every detail. That level of preparation only happens when couples and DJs work closely together well before the wedding date. We highly recommend that all couples take advantage of meeting their DJ months in advance—and meeting with them more than once. It brings confidence, reduces stress, and ensures the DJ knows exactly how to bring your vision to life. Complete Weddings Events Albany, DJ Dagger, and Joe delivered exceptional value, professionalism, and personalized service. We were extremely satisfied with both the pricing and the overall experience, and we would gladly recommend them to any couple looking for an amazing DJ team for their wedding.

Hey, I'm Anthony! I'm a Singer-Songwriter, Pianist, and Guitarist in the Albany region. I've always loved bringing people's musical visions to life, whether it be producing and arranging music for artists like Scott Hoying from Pentatonix, or filling an event with sound that speaks to the people there. A lot of musicians try to BE the thing, but I've always love being a PART of something bigger, like a wedding. While I live in Albany, I'm willing to travel almost anywhere - feel free to get in touch whether you want me to come to you, or if you're planning a destination wedding!

Awarded Best of Zola
As soon as I got engaged, I immediately started seeking a musician because music and ambience is so important to me. I listened to so many different options and was thrilled when I found Anthony. His voice, style and entire package was exactly what I was looking for and I will be forever grateful that he was a part of the most special day of my life and truly made it perfect. I remember just stopping and taking a moment during my wedding reception to just watch and listen to his performance and felt so incredibly lucky that he was singing at my wedding. His piano and guitar skills are incredible and his voice is beautiful. He is so incredibly talented. All night, my guests kept coming up to me to tell me how amazing he was and I felt so proud that everyone could enjoy the experience. Working with Anthony was so easy and positive. Planning a wedding is so stressful but Anthony being so accommodating, patient, helpful, attentive and calming made it much less stressful for me. Anthony is not only amazing and talented but he is a kind and genuine person and working with him was an absolutely wonderful experience. You can tell he puts his heart into his work and cares about the people he is working with. I will be forever grateful for him making my wedding absolutely perfect. Anthony, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

It’s the one-on-one relationship that you have with your event host throughout your planning that will, and absolutely should, spill over into the atmosphere of your event. Getting to know you with the desire to personalize your entertainment, not simply customize, is a large part of where creativity comes from, and not just mine, but yours as well! I love to offer many suggestions and ideas for your event but also find it just as important to hear your "unique" and "awesome" ideas.

I’ve known Caroline for 10 years, very professional and make her clients wants/needs a #1 priority. Very easy to work with and great communication skills.

NSM DJs spin live mixes at your event, with seamless transitions and expert blends. We’ve worked to build a reputation around a style that is fun, classy and memorable. That’s how we roll.

We are so happy to have found DJ Anthony B from NonStop Music for our wedding this past June 17th and would highly recommend him to any future bride and groom (or for any event)! My now husband and I are musicians, so we spent a lot of time researching DJs and debating what kind of DJ we wanted. As soon as we had the first meeting with Anthony (after listening to hours of his remixes), we knew he was the one. He listened to every need and concern we had regarding wedding music and DJs in general, and flat-out blew us away with his talent. His musicianship truly shows in his ability to get all of the guests out on the dance floor, no matter their age. Our guests are still raving about how good the music was more than a week after our wedding and how they have never danced so much at a wedding before (including our wedding coordinator)! He was able to take the classic wedding songs and put a nice spin on them so that it kept the original sound, but also added something new and special. He also took our wide, eclectic style of music and remixed oldies and rock with tech house and pop. Thank you for the Zedd remix and for our first dance song rendition! DJ Anthony was just the right amount of involved with the crowd, coming out to dance with us a few times, but also not over-involved. He was extremely professional and created a great atmosphere for our special day! This was one of our hardest vendors to choose, but also our most rewarding choice. We are looking forward to hiring him again for the next big life event, and really appreciate all of the hard work he did for us before the wedding and during the most special day of our lives! Thank you DJ Anthony. You really made our wedding (sound) incredible! -The Claffeys 3

Our commitment to excellence ensures every event is tailored to your unique vision, keeping the energy high and the dance floor packed from start to finish.

The New York Players were the thing our wedding guests talked about the most! Aside from being absolutely fantastic and putting on a great show, the pre-event communication and planning support really made NYP a great band to work with. We didn't really know going into booking what things needed to be considered when booking our event music, and Mike was so helpful for holding our hands through the planning process. Before the event, Mike helped us plan the logistics, met with us to discuss our goals, and gave us an extensive song list to select music from for the night, as well as adding some songs that we love that were not on the list. The attention to detail and level of care put into the band made feel so fun and special, and took a lot of the stress of wedding planning out of the music planning due to the top-notch professionalism. The band really is amazing, the experience was like being at a live concert where all of your favorite bands are playing all of your favorite songs. I can't recommend booking with the New York Players enough!

The harpist and violinist were absolutely incredible — truly one of the most magical parts of our entire wedding day. My husband and I were completely in awe, and our guests couldn’t stop talking about how beautiful and cinematic the music was. It felt like something straight out of a movie, especially with the stunning ambiance of our ceremony location. From the very beginning, the process of choosing music through the company’s website was seamless. There were so many amazing song options to pick from, and we were so happy with our final selections. Hearing them come to life — especially on violin and harp — was beyond words. The musicians played so eloquently and gracefully, and their talent was unmatched. The music added a romantic, emotional, and elegant touch that elevated everything to a whole new level. Communication with the company was excellent. They were quick to respond, always friendly and accommodating, and remained professional and patient — even when unexpected weather challenges came up on the day of the wedding. They were flexible, understanding, and worked with us to make sure everything went smoothly. The quality of the performance was truly a 10 out of 10. Guests were completely blown away, and many told us how unforgettable and moving the ceremony music was. The transitions between songs were smooth and perfectly timed. I would 100% recommend this company to any couple looking to add something special to their ceremony. They are incredibly talented, professional, punctual, and just a dream to work with. We’re so grateful to have had them be part of our big day — they helped make it feel absolutely magical.

HiMotive Entertainment & Photobooth did a great job keeping our wedding reception fun and upbeat. While their communication was a bit delayed leading up to the event, they were ultimately effective in executing on the day-of. The DJ kept the party going all night with a good song selection, though they did play 3 Taylor Swift songs in a row at the start, which we would have preferred more variety. The MC's ad-libs got a little overbearing at times, but overall they did a nice job sticking to the schedule and making important announcements.

I believe a good DJ is one who is intuitive and can read an audience, and a good photographer is one who can capture moments without you being aware. Thank you Michael, Aubrey, and Xavier for making my moment memorable for me and my guests. I highly recommend A Better DJ & Photographer!

Alan C was easy and great to work with! We had a music range from Bad Bunny, Creed, The Killers and more! We shared with him a playlist of some of our favorite songs, a list of "do not play" whether they were styles of music, artists or specific songs and a "must play" list. His online forum was easy to navigate and use. We loved the uplighting and the audio guestbook (phone)!! Also I appreciate that he read and followed through with all the small notes we left for him (specifically we asked for father/daughter, mother/son and first dance to end after the chorus and not play the entire 3-4 minutes). Such a great time. We received so many compliments on our music and the dance floor was busy all night long! He was always very responsive and quick to work with any last minute changes (we had a rainy day).
