Hi! My name is Matt and I am the owner and head DJ of Style Points DJs. I began DJing in 2016 with my friend Jerry after discovering a mutual love for electronic dance music from the likes of Zedd, Martin Garrix, and Hardwell. I've found an overwhelming passion in DJing and event coordinating, so much so that I've worked tirelessly to do it full-time since 2021. I believe that the DJ is the cornerstone of wedding vendors and I do everything in my power to make sure that I can make the vision of your wedding into a reality.

DJ Matt was the absolutely one of the highlights of our wedding day! He came in clutch when our acoustic singer for ceremony cancelled last minute. He had his music ready to go when we were scrambling around trying to find a solution. The reception music was excellent and we had a packed dance floor the whole night. We even saw a bunch of people who say that they never dance at weddings filling the dance floor. Highly recommend Matt and Style Points!!

We couldn't have asked for a better DJ for our wedding! From the beginning, Wyatt was so easy to work with. He was a quick responder when we had questions, and he really understood our 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 that were available the night of the wedding, 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!

SoundFormula Entertainment by Mike Napoli

Based in Albany, NY, SoundFormula Entertainment is a DJ and photo booth service that specializes in weddings and special events. This company is owned and operated by DJ Mike Napoli, who offers over two decades of experience in the industry. This entertainer has performed at over 1,000 events, helping to create a high-energy experience for guests and couples alike.

Mike was extremely professional from the beginning to the end and made us feel very comfortable that he was on top of not only the music, but lighting, sound/mics, a Photo Booth, and a very detailed timeline. We have been to many weddings where the sound at the ceremony or during speeches cuts out and takes away form the moment, but there was not a single issue the day of our wedding with Mike. We had the pleasure of also having Mike’s newest addition, a saxophonist, to play along side his DJ booth and it was a HUGE hit, our guests are still talking about it.

Shawn provided the entertainment for our October 7 wedding and we could not be happier that we hired him! Hiring a DJ can be tricky because it's one vendor you really can't "trial" before your big day. Shawn took away a lot of that stress with a comprehensive questionnaire he had us fill out ahead of the wedding. We also sent him a list of do not play songs and vibe suggestions, but trusted him to read the room to keep the dance floor packed all night. We also really appreciated that Shawn was there to curate an enjoyable vibe -- not to hear himself talk on the microphone all night. He played a great mix of music that was suitable for guests of all ages and backgrounds, yet still felt cohesive when played one after the next. A true professional! Our guests had a blast dancing the night away, and many of them told us how much they loved Shawn's DJing in the days following the wedding!

Upbeat Occasions

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,599
  • Serves Waterford, NY

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.

Caroline and her team are among my top favorite DJs to work with when I am photographing a wedding. Everyone with Upbeat Occasions is extremely professional, but also knows how to have fun and get the party dancing! As a vendor, Caroline is a great team player and always makes sure the photographers, videographers, and caterers are informed about the schedule for the reception. I am happy to work with her ANY time!

We had an initial planning meeting, he set us up with our own timeline (an app that he created!), we had a follow-up meeting and then a week-of meeting! We felt so ready when the day came but were still so surprised about how much DJ Lou did for us. He was checking to see if we were okay, pulling us away to make sure we were eating, working with our other vendors so seamlessly- our ceremony musicians, our officiant, our family band, and our photographer! It made the reception a hit among all our guests! We can't recommend him enough!

In today's world everything is extremely overpriced and service is terrible. My wedding was very stressful for me because of this. I did not have a DJ or a Photographer and honestly was considering just something small scale, until I talked to Ed from DJ Double E. I would give them 10 stars out 5. From the minute I talked to Ed it was a breath of fresh air from the million other outrageously priced DJ's. The price is unbeatable but that's not why I would recommend them. They are absolutely phenomenal and made my entire wedding. The music was perfect from ceremony to the last dance. They were so professional, so involved and so fun. We had a daytime (early) wedding. It is so challenging to get people up and have a good time at 12:30 in the afternoon, I was having meltdowns about it, they reassured me but had the entire place up and having fun. You didn't know if it was day or night. They helped us more than the attendants at the venue. Over 100 guests said how amazing they were. The pictures they took could not be any better. Any other DJ who had packages like this (photo booth etc...) were THOUSANDS, yes THOUSANDS, more!!! I really hate to admit but I'm not easily pleased however I would put my name on the line for DJ Double E after how they made my wedding. DJ Double E exceeded all my and my husband's expectations and -consider yourself lucky if you hire them for any event. I'll be calling them again!!!
