Platinum Entertainment

Our wedding would not have been as incredible with out Platinum Entertainment! The DJ was well organized, professional and created such a positive and fun atmosphere for all of our guests. The dance floor was NEVER empty and our guests were frequently entertained with interactive games! People keep telling us what a great time they had and I think we owe that to Platinum Entertainment. I would recommend this company to ANYONE looking for a DJ.

Tom did a great job for our wedding. He was particularly flexible at customizing the ceremony, cocktail hour, and dance music to be how we wanted it.

Tom Hawkins was great! From the very beginning he was prompt in returning my correspondence and provided us with the tools to make our wedding music selection as smooth as possible. Tom was even able to get us a few songs for some of our special moments even though they were not in his music library. I remember getting off the phone with him after our final consultation thinking if he is as good and attentive to detail as he was just now our wedding will rock…and it far exceeded those expectations, it ROCKED! Not only were my husband and I thrilled with his service, but our friends and family are still talking about what a great job he did. Thank you Tom for helping to make our wedding day a memorable one!

I would highly recommend this service to anyone who is looking for a dj!

I would recommend the newlywed game to everyone and the soul train dance. I liked the fact that we could choose our own songs for the event. Tom was very professional and a pleasure to have at our wedding.

Tom was great! He responded with any questions we had before the wedding promptly and was very flexible. Showed great professionalism in his work and was well prepared for our ceremony and reception. We would, without a doubt, refer him to our friends and family for any upcoming events.

Greg took a long time to return our calls, and we had a hard time coming up with a date to meet. When we did have a time/place set- he cancelled last minute (like 20 minutes before we were supposed to meet, after we had allready started driving the 30 minute distant to meet 1/2 way between our house and Lowell- we were a little put off that he couldn't come to see where our wedding would take place, or even drive to meet us in our area.) We were understanding in that it was a family issue- though rescheduling was a hassel and we ended up meeting on Memorial day.

We thought your company had country experience, and that is not the case at all. Keith and I went through and ended up requesting about 7 hours of songs (essentially giving Greg the complete playlist for our wedding) because 2 weeks prior to our wedding we found out he had very little to no experience with country music (per his words) . 4 days before my wedding, I was asked to sort the music into cocktail hour, dinner, and dance music. So essentially, we payed $775 to give someone an entire playlist of songs, and when to play them. I could have just plugged in my ipod.

I will not recommend Platinum Entertainment to friends, and would like a refund of at least the deposit. The hours that Keith and I put into requesting/creating a playlist, and then 4 days prior to the wedding- sorting each song, should be noted. Not to mention the terrible response time from Greg.

Nobody danced at my wedding- no one, other than myself and sister and 2 cousins to about 3 songs! Granted, we provided horseshoes for our guests to play, so perhaps they were preoccupied, but as far as encouraging guests to the floor- the attempt wasn't even made.

Also, not sure what happened with the centerpiece giveaway, but I was left with all but 1 centerpiece at the end of the night- they were supposed to be given away to the person with the closest birthday to the wedding.

Platinum Entertainment was wonderful to work with. Tom listened to all of our music requests, made great suggestions, and helped in keeping the night running smoothly. Thank you!!

Dear Greg,
Just wanted to drop you a line to say thanks for helping us celebrate!
You did a great job, and we were really thrilled with how everything
went. We especially loved that you ended the day with ‘Winter Winds’
by Mumford and Sons - this is a particular favorite of ours, and that
was a memorable moment on a memorable day.

Thanks for making everything run perfectly - we really enjoyed working with you!

I had Tom as my DJ for my Father's 50th Birthday Party and I couldnt have asked for a better experience! I gave him my recommendations ahead of time (which he played) as well as taking requests all night and playing them immediately. Everyone had an amazing time and couldnt believe how fast the night flew by.

Thank you Tom and Platinum Entertainment!!

Tom Hawkins was everything a DJ should be. He worked with me from beginning to end and was very flexible and responsive. I loved the website he offered to customize the music selection and create a timeline for the evening. My wedding guests are still talking about how wonderful he was. Made the night flow smoothly from one event to the next so I didn't even have to think about it, I knew he had it covered. His equipment was great quality and he even edited a few songs for me for my ceremony so that they were just right. I had the night I had been envisioning for months!

You will not find a better DJ than Tom! Tom provided the entertainment for our Sept. 2011 wedding. He was very professional, followed up on all calls promptly and was the one to track us down as the time got close and things got busy.
The music selections were dead on for the cocktail and dinner hour. Most importantly was able to read what kind of songs the reception needed at the right times. We were kind of leary about the Newlywed game but loved it and got a lot of laughs! When my groom blew out his knee on the dance floor, Tom was able to read when to quiet the music, then slowly started it back up and got everyone back out dancing. Our cousins bought a giant stuffed banana at a yard sale next door to the church, and he helped them incorporate it into a surprise conga line that everyone joined in. He even let our 8 year old son help him run some of the equipment. He was accomodating, did his job and did it well, and left all the focus on the two of us. I would highly recommend Tom for any function in the future. Feel free to contact me at wisdomsage@aol.com with any questions. Thanks Tom!

We were very happy with Platinum Entertainment for our wedding reception and we will be recommending them to others. Thanks again Tom Hawkins and Tom Lynch....you made our day even more special!!!

This was the second time that we saw Tom as he also DJ'd my brother's wedding and I couldn't have been more impressed with how the evening went. A DJ can easily make or break a wedding and I can't tell you how many people said that they danced all night and simply loved the DJ's music selection.

Platinum Entertainment is the only way to go! We got married on June 11, 2011 and Greg Hoyt was our DJ...he was AWESOME. He played all the right music to get our guests on the dance floor and was in contact with us the entire way on what needed to happen and when. By far he was the easiest and best vendor we worked with and we would strongly recommend Greg for your wedding. Great personality, great sense of timing and music selection and all around a great guy to work with. If pick Greg and Platinum Entertainment for your wedding you will be in good hands!

Thanks again Greg!

Tom was great at our wedding! I would highly recommend using Platinum Entertainment. They are affordable, and we had folks dancing till 11pm!

Thanks Tom!

AWESOME experience with Platinum Entertainment!!!! Tom was great to work with and wonderful with our guests! Everyone had a great time and the evening went smoothly thanks to Platinum Entertainment!

Platinum Entertainment was wonderful! Tom was very helpful and flexible and was very very professional! He was not invasive during our wedding, but he still was in control at the same time!! We would reccomend him to anyone!!

Tom was absolutely outstanding! He kept our reception moving perfectly and kept the dance floor packed all night long! We have had so many compliments on our DJ! We would 100% recommend his service to anybody!

Matt and I can't thank you enough! In the months prior to the wedding, the website made the planning of the evening and music selection super easy. The DJ was were extremely helpful with our questions...and we had plenty. We could not imagine our wedding day without DJ Tom Hawkins of Platinum Entertainment. We are so thrilled that he was part of our "big" day. The night was PERFECT! The music selection was phenomenal throughout cocktail hour and dinner. Everyone...and I mean everyone (from great aunts to co-workers) were on the dance floor. Friends and family are still commenting on how great the DJ. We played the quick trivia game as Tom suggested it would be funny and entertaining. I cannot wait to see it on video - it was hilarious! We have several friends who recently became engaged. I will wholeheartedly suggest Platinum Entertainment as their DJ choice...their night will not be complete without Tom Hawkins!

As any Bride knows, picking your wedding DJ is one the most important and stressful decisions you make while planning your perfect day. Well, rest assured that if you choose Tom Hawkins, you will not be disappointed. Tom was our DJ for our wedding in Nashua, NH on August 27, 2010 and he was absolutely amazing! I could not recommend him more highly. My husband and I have two huge Irish Catholic families and Tom had EVERYONE on the floor the entire night. Even as the evening wound down at 12:30 am, the dance floor was still packed. Tom even acquiesced their cheers for "one more song." One of the things I liked most about Platinum Entertainment was their event planner system. Basically, my husband and I were able to highlight some songs we really liked and note dedications as well as block those songs we did not want played. Tom listened to all of our input and did not play any songs on our "block" list. Most importantly, Tom was exceedingly nice and professional and truly made our night perfect. I know he definitely gained some fans at our wedding and will most likely be called upon in the future to DJ many of our cousins' weddings. Amy & John

Greg did a really great job because he was able to look at our selections and figure out the mood of our families. He played everything we wanted to hear and was really great to work with. Thanks again.

Tom from Platinum Entertainment was awesome. I was able to select music I wanted or didnt want played prior to the wedding online. He was able to get a very good idea of what kind of music we wanted and was a great DJ. I wouldnt have changed a thing.

First of all, we would like to thank all the people who wrote their testimonials about Tom before we decided to hire him. He was the only vendor we hired that was not referred to us by a friend or family member, but he had so many great recommendations that we decided to go for it. And we are so glad we did! From A to Z during the months leading up to the wedding, Tom was friendly, accommodating, communicative and helpful. As we have very specific music tastes, we appreciated his very developed website which was a great tool for us when selecting all of the songs we wanted played. Our wedding was an international one (the bride is American and the groom is French), and we wanted to make sure that there was some French music played during the reception. Tom was very open to this idea and offered to have us make him a CD of the French songs we wanted played, which he flawlessly integrated into the playlist during the evening - it was a very appreciated personal touch! We are also musicians, which meant that part of the night was devoted to a live set played with some of our friends and family, and Tom graciously offered to let us use his microphone and sound system. We were so surprised and pleased when we saw that even some of our older guests stayed late to participate in the dancing, and so much of that had to do with the great music. Many of our guests have told us since the wedding how much FUN they had, which is exactly what we hoped for during our planning. We loved Tom and would recommend him to anyone looking to throw a great party that everyone will be sure to remember!

Choosing DJ Tom Hawkins for our wedding was one of the best planning decisions we made for our big day. Not only was he professional, but he went out of his way to make sure that we were kept in the loop on things that popped up throughout the night, and he even made time to personalize the music based on our interests. (Nice touch with the Muppets Rainbow Connection song!) The process of planning and organizing during the reception with Tom was so streamlined and easy that we were able to breathe a sigh of relief that everything would be taken care of on our wedding day. And best of all, our guests loved the music selection that the dance floor was always packed all night.

"WE HAD SUCH A GREAT TIME!!!" . . . "WE HAVE NEVER DANCED SO MUCH!!!". . "THE DJ WAS AWESOME!!"...These are just a few of the compliments that we have received from guests at our wedding. Our wedding was a few months ago and people are still telling us how much fun they had!! Tom Hawkins from Platinum Entertainment did such a FANTASTIC job DJ'ing for our wedding!! Tom did everything that we had asked. We wanted our guests out on the dance floor ALL night at our reception and that is exactly what we got, thanks to Tom!! We keep getting all of these compliments from our guests! This is exactly what we wanted for our guests and ourselves, we wanted everyone to have fun. And they did! And so did we!! Tom played a diverse selection of music, some older fun songs which got everyone moving and some new hip songs which kept everyone moving! I defiantly recommend Platinum Entertainment to anyone that wishes to have a great party or wedding!

No real issues with the company. I think their prices are far better than other companies. But the DJ that I had turned out to not be great. His first name was Glenn (I prefer not to list his last name). I met with him in person, he seemed like a nice, quite guy who clearly understood that I did not want anything tacky and that I wanted minimal talking and NO games. At the wedding he started singing when I cut the cake (AWFUL and super tacky) and he had never mentioned that he intended to do that. I've never been to a wedding before where the DJ does that. I had to mouth to him several times to stop. Then at some point when people were actually up and dancing he had men line up on one side of the room and women on the other and played some stupid song and I'm not even sure what the point of the game was but I was furious. I had specifically indicated that I did not want any games! I was just surprised at how much he talked and seemed to neglect what we had talked about. On the positive side though, he did pronounce everyone's names correctly (including some difficult ones), so that was a good start to the night.
