My daughter was recently married. As she and her fiancé were planning their wedding, they researched and interviewed various vendors in the wedding industry. They were impressed with the professionalism and talents of everyone at Powerstation Events. Chris was their amazing DJ, and our guests danced all night long. Spenser was the sax player who added that much more to the music! Helena and her team from In Bloom Event Designs created the most spectacular flower arrangements and wedding arch. Heather, Sam, and Nick from Grace and Gold Studio were amazing photographers and videographers. The sneak peek photos are breathtaking! Using this company with so many resources helped to alleviate some of the stresses that go into wedding planning. I highly recommend you use this company for your special events! read more

I was very disappointed in DJ Christi J for my wedding. I took a lot of time to complete the Powerstation DJ Questionnaires that went into detail regarding what kind of music I wanted played along with any dedications or announcements. I didn't hear any of the songs I requested during dinner or dancing. She didn't play songs in the genre of music we wanted which led to a majority of our guests leaving the dance floor throughout the night. Christi would continue to play the entire songs from start to finish instead of mixing them together. Throughout the night many of our guests had expressed that DJ Christi J did not read the room well when selecting music. She also didn't announce any dedications for particular songs which we had discussed prior to the wedding as well as listed in the questionnaire. She didn't announce the centerpiece giveaways and left us to pack all the centerpieces after the reception which is also something listed in the questionnaire. I am particularly disappointed as we'd discussed these things as well as what we wanted to have played prior to the wedding. DJ Christi J was late to our final appointment (a 15 minute meeting phone call) and it was clear she was not prepared to discuss our answers in the questionnaire. She was not responsive with texting while we were making updates. We do not believe that she was very professional and would not recommend her for anyone's wedding. It is a shame we had invested so much money into her services. read more

Heather Colt/Heather Wirsing is the Director of Photography yet provided us with poor customer service and poor quality pictures. My husband and I spent over 5k on wedding photos only to be sorely disappointed in the final result. The day of our wedding, Heather was extremely bossy and rude to our wedding party--and we are all adults in our 30's with professional jobs who were sober. Heather treated us like we were kindergarteners who couldn't follow directions. She told my groom to drop the flower he bought me because "I wouldn't like that." She wasted so much time on irrelevant detail shots-there are 35 pictures of my dress, shoes, rings, accessories but only 17 of me actually getting ready-and very few of them contain my bridesmaids. She acted inconvenienced when asked to take pictures of my niece and nephew with my mother. We wanted and discussed relaxed poses that would express who we are as a couple-instead we got the same boring and cheesy industry standard poses. It is apparent that it's all about Heather and less about what you want once you pay the balance. The pictures we received are awful. There are a lot of out of focus and crooked shots. There are shots were it's obvious photoshop was used and we were photoshopped in. There are zero pictures of my face during our first look, first dance and introductions. There aren't any pictures of our guests taken during the ceremony and from what we do have from the reception , it's the same 15 people. For one of the family portraits, the mother of the bride and mother of the grooms heads are cut off. For a "Director" level, the quality is disappointing. For what we paid, we expected a lot more. Recently we discovered that Heather had photographed a PowerStation employee's wedding the day before ours so it's apparent that unless you know someone or work for PowerStation, they could not care less about your wedding or how much you paid. But at least I have 35 photos of inanimate objects to remember my wedding by. Updated to add that in dealing with the owner, one can see why the Director of Photography is such a horrendous bitch. The owner is overly sensitive to criticism and would rather bully, harass and intimidate an unhappy customer. I was threatened with legal action, told that my complaints were not valid and my pictures are beautiful and contain artistic license. Buyer beware. read more

DJ was overly loud, especially during announcements. Loud is usually ok, but they don't seem to know their crowd, the songs or the venues. I've been to several events that were almost identical. The songs seem to be the same order every time. I believe they just hit play, turn it to 11 and stand there. read more

Since we got married at The Barns at Wesleyan Hills, we were actually required to use Powerstation Events if we wanted a DJ for the wedding since they have an exclusive relationship with the venue. While we might have otherwise been put off by that requirement, Powerstation proved themselves to be so fantastic from Day One that we didn't mind one bit. Their prices were fairly reasonable for the quality and extent of the services they provided, and considering how critical a DJ is to the success of the wedding, it was well worth the investment. We were fortunate enough to have Jon March as the DJ for our June wedding, and we could not be happier with the job that he did. Leading up to the event, we asked for so many specific and particular requests, and he didn't bat an eye with any of them. Basically everything we asked him to do was executed flawlessly. He had wonderful energy for our crowd and was not afraid to have fun! We loved getting to plan with him and have him with us for the entirety of our wedding day. Jon's positivity, passion, and friendly demeanor were evident from start to finish of the wedding planning process and even well after the big day was over. From our secret surprise choreographed dance piece from "The Artist" to gracefully clearing out the entire reception room for our own private final dance to making our ceremony music go off without a hitch, every single element of our wedding went smoothly thanks to him. We cannot thank Powerstation enough for doing so much to make our day perfect! read more

Original review 04/23/18: My daughter went to Elegant Events Salon yesterday to have her long hair curled. She went with freshly washed and dried hair, with the expectation of hot rollers being used. My daughter was there for ten minutes (I know this from the tracker on her car) and they only used a curling iron on the very ends of her hair. By the time my daughter drove less than three miles home, the little bit of wave at the ends of her hair was almost non-existent. My daughter was charged $80.00 for this! Yes, I did say $80.00 for ten minutes of curling iron. I truly believe you took advantage of my daughter going in there by herself. Quick money for di minimis work. If I could leave a negative rating I would. Instead I will be telling everyone I know about how you took advantage of my daughter. You should be ashamed of yourself. I did leave this review on their Facebook page but it was taken down shortly after I posted it with a picture for proof. Update 05/13/18: I contacted the salon and after seeing the picture of my daughter's hair agreed that it was not worth the $80.00 she was charged. I reluctantly agreed to pay $37.50 for the service because she was in the chair and "something" was done. The salon will not provide any refund unless I do the below. 1.) Sign a legal waiver that I will not go after the salon for the $37.50 I agreed to pay; 2.) Agree not to write any negative reviews about the salon; 3.) Take down the review I posted on Yelp; and 4.) Only praise the salon and never speak poorly of them or their services. It is worth it for me to forgo the refund to let people know how horrible this place is. Below is what the release says. RELEASE AND AGREEMENT IN SETTLEMENT OF ALL CLAIMS This settlement and release is entered into this 24th day of April, 2018 by Joanna Abraham (collectively known as "Releasors") in favor of POWERSTATION LLC, d.b.a.

I didn't even book the DJ, but he was so good I had to write a review. I am not familiar with the cost or ease of dealing with Powerstation, nor where they operate. This review is solely of DJ David Rossi. David worked a wedding on 9/26, and was absolutely the best DJ I have ever seen. Many of the wedding guests were fond of Latin music, and dancing to it, and the DJ kept them on the floor most of the night. He mixed in the kind of music you want to hear and expect to hear at a wedding, of course. Mixing was very good, and he was himself highly amusing. He danced and lip synced along with basically everything. He was charming but did not insert himself too much into the normal reception activities, including toasts and father/daughter and mother/son dances. There were no props, and no embarrassing competitions, or anything like that. I would hire this man in a second for any event. read more

We worked with Powerstation for our August wedding hosted in our backyard. Because of COVID a couple DJs we originally contracted were not able to make it. Powerstation was determined to provide us with a DJ who matched our personality and needs. We ended up with Rich and he couldn't have been better. He even stayed late and played only songs we picked out per our request. We had so much fun and were happy rich was part of our party! read more

We had Frank from Powerstation for our wedding DJ on 12/28/18 and he was awesome! So friendly and very easy to work with. We provided an extensive list of songs we definitely wanted to hear during dinner and dance (100+ songs) and he put together a list that flowed and matched the vibe of the night. Frank respected our "do not play" list and also took requests from guests if they flowed with what he was playing and reflected the type of songs we had on our list. He checked in with us regarding volume which we appreciated. You can tell Frank didn't just put together a prearranged list, press play, and sit back the rest of the night - he really was working the entire night; being very attentive to how the night was progressing and in what direction he should go next for a song choice. Everyone was on the dance floor for a solid 4 hours straight which is exactly what we wanted! I absolutely recommend Frank as your wedding DJ! read more

I STILL DON'T HAVE MY PICTURES! We had them for our wedding and used them for our DJ, lighting and photographer. We went there a year before our wedding and watched videos of all the DJs and since they only had 3 photographers, we had to pick whomever was available the night of our wedding, which was only one woman. We paid them right away and that was it, they never contacted us in anyway, I actually had to call them and set up an appointment 2 weeks before my wedding because I had never meet my photographer or my DJ and I though we should meet and figure stuff out before the wedding. They are imposable to get in touch with! You can only email a "web master" who will then relay the message to someone else, never the person your working with. Photographer PAM: I asked her the night of the wedding how long it would be until I would see some of the pictures, and she told me "1 month". 10 weeks later and no pictures, no previews, no phone calls or emails. I tried to email/call her, and it took 1 week just to get a response. Week 5:she told me i would get them "very soon" Week 12 week: I finally got a preview of my pictures, which was great, but I couldn't print them/send them etc. in the format they were in and with the watermark they had on them. Since I had paid for all of my pictures I asked when I would get them sent to me... answer 1 week. Its been 16 weeks, and I'm sorry, maybe you shouldn't take on jobs or my money for that matter if you can't produce what you say you can in a reasonable amount of time. I have called many times to ask the status of my pictures and I have never received a follow up email or call giving me a better idea of when to expect the DVD of the photos. I still have nothing to show for the thousand i paid for my pictures, because I don't have them! WARNING!!!!! Power Station has nothing in its contract saying how long this process could potentially take, they just keep taking in suckers and their money. I would never go with this company ever again. They are to cookie cutter and have no feelings for their customers and the special events that they "help" with. On a positive note: DJ DAVE S. and lighting: Both were actually very well worth the money and I can't complain about them, they both worked out well. read more

Powerstation was recommended to us by another couple who had used them for their wedding and we were also very impressed! The initial meeting with them to select a DJ was incredibly personalized so we only saw DJs that catered to our style and music taste. We were impressed that they had multiple backup plans-for bad weather, emergencies, sick DJs, you name it, they have it covered. We selected Christi J and she KILLED it. We had the pleasure of seeing Christi DJ two weeks in a row as our friends had selected her for their wedding the week before as well. Christi was amazing at both but she was completely in her element at ours and honestly neither of us could remember her playing a single song we didn't like. She took our suggestions, but added her own spin to it and as a result almost all of our guests were on the dance floor through the entire night. We enjoyed seeing her have fun doing it as well! They were also very flexible with us needing to add items on to our package only a few weeks before. Highly recommend Powerstation and Christi! read more

My husband and I used Powerstation Events for our October wedding and we could not be happier! Chris and Hannah were so professional and easy going! They both got to know my husband and I as individuals and not just another job. They took the time to find out what we wanted and were looking for. They helped us make decisions and kept us on task all day! Chris kept the dance floor full and played perfect songs for the guests. He went out of his way to accommodate us and made sure we were happy every step of the way! My brother wanted to play his guitar for me wlking down the aisle, Chris actually talked to my brother and made sure everything was ready for him to play. that meant so much to us! Hannah is so talented and such a sweetheart! With Pinterest being such a huge part of the brides life these days, she actually started following me on Pinterest to see what photography interested me and what feel I was going for! She kept all of my wedding party and family members in line and moved quickly so no one had the time to stray away! We were so fortunate to have the pleasure of them capturing our wedding! read more

I just used PowerStation Events for my husband's 40th party last month. They are amazing. I got married four years ago and they were up and coming back then. Now, I am so amazed at what they offer from a hair stylist, decor assistance, photography, videography, DJ services and the list goes on. They have everything! I was very pleased with the DJ I got for my husband's party. He played all the music that we grew up with and totally worked hard to abide by my wishes in these selections and made sure that the itinerary was closely followed. Will was wonderful. I would totally use him and PowerStation for my next event. I just wish I had another event in the near future to use them for. =) I am a customer that is very pleased and want to thank them very much for their professionalism, friendliness, and craft that helped make my husband's party one to remember. read more

We used Powerstation for a several aspects of our wedding: the photo booth, the live music, and, of course, the DJ. First, the photo booth was a huge hit! The guests were in there all night and had a blast. Brittany was the attendant and was extremely sweet and had a great energy. The photo booth was huge and came with so many props. We received a scrapbook AND a flash drive with all the photos - and we can't stop looking at them! The only thing I would have changed was that the photo booth also recorded videos, and no one really knew (including myself). We got about 6 videos, but if I'd known (or maybe remembered?) that it did videos I would have put up a sign to remind people. This is REALLY not a issue, but just one tiny thing. Second, we had Lorena Garay do guitar for our ceremony and the Harold Zinno Agency jazz trio during the cocktail hour. Not only were all the musicians extremely talented and professional, but they were so very nice. They played our selections beautifully and we got so many compliments. Finally, Todd Armstrong was our DJ. We chose him because he met with us as the Powerstation representative at our first meeting and he was just too fun not to have at the wedding. From the get-go he was professional, honest, organized, and super responsive. At first I thought I had all these opinions about what I absolutely wanted to have play and what I absolutely didn't want to have played, but at our final meeting I just told him to go with his gut. And the music was phenomenal! Several times throughout the night he was quick on his feet and inserted a song (Star Wars theme after the best man's toast) or played a last minute song request. His intro mixes for the bridal party and for us were flawless. There were a million details that we noticed throughout the night and were just blown away by the music. And, most importantly, he had a great energy, got people dancing, kept the night moving smoothly, and threw in a few jokes. We can't say enough about Todd! read more

We used Powerstation Events in 2012 for our wedding and we were so grateful that we did! We booked Charlie as our DJ, Pam as our photographer and we got free uplighting, which really made the room. I can't say enough good things about this company. We told Charlie what kind of atmosphere we were looking for and he really tailored the party to us! A family friendly playlist which still got the party going! ALL of our guests were on the dance floor. Charlie was classy and professional. Pam got some awesome shots of us on our special day and was easy to work with. I highly recommend Powerstation! read more

We had only positive experiences with Powerstation Events for our wedding music. They were very responsive and our DJ was exactly what we were looking for. He was able to give us great advice on what the timeline of events should be, as I was having trouble deciding. I had full confidence that on our wedding day he would take care of whatever needed taken care of, so I was not at all stressed about the music. They also edited a few songs for us so that they were exactly what we wanted. What was most impressive to me was how our DJ was able to seamlessly blend the music together from one song into the next. My husband and and I have drastically different tastes in music and I thought it would be a strange mash of music, but Chris blended them nicely so that everything sounded great. read more
