Powerstation Events

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.

Everyone danced all night at my wedding. Todd did everything we asked for and the night was a complete 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!!

Powerstation did a fantastic job providing DJ and photography services for our wedding. They are professional, proactive, and creative in every aspect of their work. I have absolutely no reservations in recommending them to anyone!

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.

Charlie, our DJ, was FABULOUS!!!!! We were up dancing the WHOLE night! Great music, perfect timing of everything. THANKS CHARLIE!

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!

Our DJ Charlie was wonderful. He was easy to get along with and stuck to the music we requested to hear, while still putting his own spin on things to keep everyone on the dance floor. The dance floor was packed all night! Even my guests told me, "I kept wanting to go sit down or go to the bathroom, but another song would come on that I had to dance to." We were so happy with Charlie and powerstation events from start to finish. Thanks for making our night so memorable for all Charlie, YOU ROCK!

The music was fantastic. Dave is the best DJ. He also taught us our dance lessons which went well. All the A/V stuff, slideshow, monogram, etc. went without a hitch. We also hired a jazz trio and everyone enjoyed thier music during dinner.

David was fantastic. Very attentive to everything my husband and i did (and didn't) want at our reception. He was lively and personable, and played music that got everyone dancing. We had many people come up to us that day, and afterwards to comment on what a fun party it was, and how great the dj was. I would (and have) recommend Powerstation to anyone looking for a dj.

Charlie was our DJ and he was awesome! He took our recommendations and created a play list that was totally us. He engaged the guests in a fun, not obnoxious way. He was a gem. I would totally recommend their services.

Charlie, our DJ, was great. He was able to adjust the music to what got the crowd going. He didn't just stick to the playlist when people weren't dancing. Everyone enjoyed the music. He also did our ceremony music and did a great job. We would definitely recommend Charlie and Powerstation to all of our friends.

Pam did a great job with the pictures. She was very friendly and professional. She took a lot of candid pictures. We wish she would have taken more posed pictures of my husband and I but we didn't request them so it was partly our fault.

We used Charlie S for our wedding and he was PERFECT. We also got uplighting added to our package last minute and it was amazing! They were very good about communication and were easy to reach. Charlie helped us make a list of over 200 songs that he would choose from to play so it was great! He created a great atmosphere and people danced all night!

We are still getting rave reviews about the energy of our wedding and how much fun everyone had dancing. We went into the DJ search knowing that music would play a key role in the overall experience our guests would have at our wedding. As we reflect back on the day, we could not have planned a better DJ/MC of our "party". Charlie from Powerstation listened to our requests and took the time to choose music that truly reflected who my wife and I are and what we wanted our day to be like.
From beginning to end, Charlie conducted himself with professionalism and expertise. He understood what we were looking for in our day and anytime we had gaps to fill, Charlie was always eager to make our music selection unique. We knew we selected the right company when we looked across the dance floor and witnessed everyone from grandparents to kids up on the dance floor smiling from ear to ear.
Thanks again Charlie.

Powerstation provided the mic services for our ceremony, musicians for the ceremony, and dj services for the reception. We worked with Rich and he was very knowledgable and confident and everything turned out really nice. We gave fairly loose suggestions for our reception music and we thought he did a great job of catering to our mixed age audience and getting everyone out on the dance floor. He checked in with us a couple of times to make sure everything was to our liking and always catered to our requests.

We used Kristen Young for our wedding photographer, and she was absolutely incredible. Her shots were absolutely gorgeous! Photography is expensive, but the memories Kristen captured are worth every cent!

I used the Powerstation Events for my ceremony music. They did a fabulous job. I thought the price was a little high, but from start to finish everyone was very professional.

Dave Salonia, who had recently joined PowerStation, DJed our April 23 wedding and he was phenomenal! We were very picky about who we chose to DJ our wedding because we needed him for the ceremony and the reception. I was very careful to select someone with experience so that the focus would be on the wedding itself not miscued songs or speaker issues. When it came down to it, Dave was excellent! We told him exactly what we wanted with requested song lists, etc. but we told him what kind of atmosphere and vibe we wanted and he totally got it!!!

He never overpromised and he spent a lot of time on the phone with me making sure he understood exactly what was needed. He also came to our rehearsal, even though it was not in his contract. We really appreciated that kind gesture!

He was a great emcee, too, and never cheesy - which was very important to us. So many of our guests told us how much they enjoyed our DJ and most importantly: our party! The dance floor was packed all night - which was a request of ours. It was the best night ever and Dave helped it exceed our expectations.

Thanks again, we will recommend Dave Salonia and PowerStation to all of our friends!

We loved our DJ, Frank for our wedding. He was a lot of fun, but didn't take center stage, which is how we wanted it. He was very open to all of our music suggestions.

He was there early to set everything up, and was very communicative with us. Throughout the night, he would check in with us to see when we felt we were ready to move on to the cake cutting, or to start dancing for the night, etc.

My only complaint is that when planning our wedding, we ended up talking to about 4 or 5 different people, who then didn't pass messages on to each other. So we had to keep re-explaining our story and how we were planning this from out of state, etc. It would have been great to have planned it with Frank from the beginning.

But everything turned out great, and the music really made the night!

We asked for a party, we got a party. Todd Armstrong was an excellent DJ. He listened to us, gave us all of the music we wanted and more. We had some effect lighting that worked perfectly for our venue. To some the costs may appear to be pricey, but you really do get what you pay for. We were glad we extended our budget a little more to secure Todd and Powerstation because months later people are still talking about what a blast the entire evening was!

Very professional, and very helpful. My photographer made especially sure she had everyone for pictures since I have a large immediate family, and the videographer was behind the scenes, I barely noticed him taking the video. Very flexible, and very helpful. We forgot we had ordered an engagement photo to be taken, and the photographer called and said we could exchange it for extra time at the reception, which was excellent!

We could not have been happier w/ our DJ, Charlie Saccavino, from Powerstation Events. He was exactly what we were looking for. An experienced DJ that played a majority of the songs on the playlist we gave him but made sure not to be "too out there" w/ the crowd (my husband and I were not into participation dances, games, etc.). I loved everything about him! He was much less expensive than some of their other DJ's they offered but did such an exceptional job and is as classy as they come.

Charlie Saccavino was our DJ for the reception under a tent and also provided the music for our cermony on a beach - and he was great. Being that we were in an outdoor location for our entire wedding, the sound quality was amazing. We chose Charlie because we liked his personality and approach and he worked with us to create a playlist that was totally "us". Guests loved the music choices, too. He read the crowd and everyone, including us, had a great time. He fit right in with our group. Should we have another opportunity that calls for a DJ, we would definitely call Charlie!

Rich Gumpert did an excellent job as dj for our wedding. He played the songs we requested. Our guests had a great time on the dance floor. He worked well with our other vendors. We were very happy with him. Would recommend.

Everyone there was attentive to what I wanted as part of my wedding. I would highly recommend the photography and DJ.

Our photographer was amazing, she was quick, professional and very creative. We were very impressed.Our DJ played all the music we requested.

Powerstation did a nice job at our wedding. They provided us with a photographer, DJ and limo. They were all very professional. The only thing about the photography is that if you expect picutures of certain decorations or parts of the decor, you need to tell them exactly what to take a picture of. We did not end up with any close ups of any center pieces or the more elaborate decorations that were very time consuming to put together.

Powerstation was all set up and ready to go when we entered the reception. The music was great and everyone had a fun time dancing. Getting ahold of the dj ahead of time to discuss last minute details was difficult. It is important to make sure the dj understands what you want from him ahead of time as well. Our dj was a little more verbal than we had expected.

Powerstation did a great job as our DJ, our videographer and our ceremony music. The only complaints I have is that the microphone that was to be used for readings during our ceremony was not set up properly, so it was not able to be used. Therefore, our two readers had to stand next to our JP to be heard through her microphone. It was awkward both during the ceremony and in the pictures. Also, the DJ mis-pronounced the last names of my sister and father when announcing them into the reception (but pronounced the same last name correctly when announcing in my other sister and brother.) The video of our wedding was nothing short of spectacular. And the ceremony music was perfect.

I booked Powerstation for my wedding for DJ, videography and ceremony music. The DJ (Dave S) and the three-piece classical music set (who played during my ceremony) were wonderful, and I'd highly recommend them for your wedding. The ceremony music was beautiful, and the DJ played awesome music and fulfilled all of my requests.

The only reason my review isn't completely glowing is because of some problems I encountered with the videography. In the end, it all turned out alright, and my video is beautiful. But there were some miscommunications on the part of Powerstation, and errors were made on my video; it had to be redone, and the technicians weren't very professional or responsive.

Otherwise, I was pretty satisfied with Powerstation, and I would consider using their DJs and/or musicians for another event assuming.

Even though I wrote out in black and white exactly what I wanted, I didn't get it with Powerstation. Intelligent lighting did not work among other things such as faulty microphones and cables.

Worst choice I made for my wedding day, don't make the same mistake I did.

Powerstation...should be renamed...Power House because they are!!! ;) They are super! You can't believe the couples who go coo coo over them! :) They are always in the groove and will keep your wedding hoppin'. ;)
