Where do I even start with jay, and The owls and lions. So my husband and I really wanted a band but had to stay within our budget. That's where we found Spinners Entertainment. First of all, they are worth SO MUCH MORE than what the rates are. Which means your getting more for what you pay for 100% hands down. He gave us the amazing option of accommodating us with his amazing band Owls and Lions and also his exceptional Dj'ing skills. I could not have gotten enough compliments about Owls and Lions. I had an overwhelming amount of text messages about how great they were. They played for my ceremony, (the entire thing) while people were sitting and waiting and during when the bridal party came out to a song that meant a lot to us. They did exactly what I envisioned and it was PERFECT. The cocktail hour was even better. The party before the party is what it felt like because of the great positive and uppity vibes that they just were responsible for, had filled the room. I had them for an hour of the reception and regret not having them longer. They really got the party started. Not only do they get the party started right, they get involved in the actual party! It was amazing. I would recommend owls and lions to ANYONE for ANY event not just a wedding. Simply amazing. Now for jay. The last 3 hours of our reception was all JAY Della Valle. And let me just say this guy is indescribably AMAZING at what he does. The entire time Jay was calm, cool collected. He was confident in what he was doing. He had my party going NUTS. I have never seen an entire dance floor filled and all the seats empty at a wedding. It was EXHILARATING. He fed off of our crowd and our party and everything he played was perfect. Like I said everyone wanted to know who our DJ was because it was the best most fun wedding they have been at and I owe a lot of it to Jay and Spinners Entertainment. I can't thank you enough jay and your crew for making my day become over and beyond anything We ever expected. THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEARTS ! Nick and Drea MATAYAAAA :) read more

I can't thank Spinners Entertainment enough for the amazing job that they did for our wedding September 8, 2019. From my very first phone call with Jay I knew that we would end up booking with them. His enthusiasm and passion for what he does is incredible. He was so easy and fun to speak with and share ideas with. Instantly he got the vibe that we wanted for our wedding and was able to easily guide us in our selection of entertainment. We loved that they have so many entertainment options to chose from! Throughout our entire wedding day they evolved to suit the vibe of each setting. Jay and Nicole played guitar and violin out on the beach prior to and during our ceremony. Our friends and family said it was so cool to be sitting out on the beach listening to them play! Walking down the isle to the instrumentals of one of my favorite songs was a dream come true and they played it so well! For cocktail hour we had their band Owls & Lions perform. They were absolutely amazing! If you are looking for a wedding band that will be different from all the rest, book them! So many people came up and asked us during cocktail who they were and where we found them! They definitely set the tone for a fun night! Jay was the perfect MC and kept things flowing seamlessly. We kept Kevin the drummer from Owls & Lions all night so we had a hybrid DJ setup. In our opinion it was so much better than just having a DJ or just having a band. Him and Jay kept people on the dance floor all night. So many people have called to tell us that it was the best wedding that they have ever been to and I attribute much of that to Jay, Nicole and Kevin. I had never met them in person before the wedding because we live a good distance away. When we finally got to meet on our wedding day they truly already felt like friends. We are looking forward to going and seeing Owls & Lions perform as soon as we can! Thank you thank you thank you!! read more

From the moment we started working with Jay until the day of our wedding, he was an absolute pleasure to work with. During our first call with him, we could tell how passionate he was about music, his band, and making weddings unforgettable. Jay is responsive, easy to work with, and he truly cares about the couple and their special day. We worked with him throughout the pandemic (postponing our wedding multiple times) and he did everything he could to put us at ease and accommodate our date changes. We did a mix of band and DJ and they were AMAZING. Coming from someone who has been to too many weddings, I truly believe the music is the most important part and it makes such an impact on whether guests have a good time or not. Owls and Lions played during our cocktail hour and the first half of our reception and then Jay switched it up to DJ mode for the rest of the night- this was the perfect combination! He also made sure to get everyone on the dance floor at one point for a group photo which was awesome (and the photo came out great)! Owls and Lions was hands down the best choice we made when it comes to our wedding. So many of our guests commented during and after our wedding about how talented the band was and how much fun they had (thanks to the great music)! As the bride, I am so happy to reflect on our wedding day knowing that all of our guests had a great time and thankful that I was able to dance the night away (I think I only left the dance floor once to eat)! Thank you Jay and Owls and Lions for making our wedding INCREDIBLE- it would not have been the same without your talent. read more

We had Spinners Entertainment/Owls and Lions with the full band/DJ, magic mirror package for our wedding last month and could not have been happier with the experience. THEY'RE THE BEST! I have worked with Jay, Kevin and Nicole on a regular basis since 2010 when I first became and event planner and knew from the very first time I saw them play at a client's wedding that I would need them at mine. They can get a party started like no other band/DJ I have ever seen and they did just that at my wedding last month. Not only did Jay give our guests a night to remember, but he was also there to help us with ideas throughout the entire planning process whether it was logistics and timing or music selection, Jay was always available to give us advice. They made every detail of our event special and even let my Uncle sing our processional song while Jay played the guitar along with him. They were open to any crazy idea we had and made it even better than we could have imagined. We truly cannot thank them enough for all they did to make our big day the best it could have been! read more

We highly recommend Owls & Lions for a wedding venue or any other event. To say they met our expectations is an understatement. We have all been to hundreds of weddings and most DJ's are the same, we knew we wanted something different, something better. Our venue recommended Owls & Lions and from our first call with Jay we knew they were the right choice. Jay and Nicole felt more like guests playing music at our wedding than anything else. The whole experience was so authentic and personal, which was a goal of our overall feel. Nicole played an instrumental version of our wedding song as I walked down the aisle and Jay sang it for our first dance. From start to finish the experience was incredible. We really can't thank Jay and Nicole enough and look forward to working with them in the future! Lauren & Rob read more

I have nothing but amazing things to say about Jay and Spinners Entertainment! Getting married is a beautiful but extremely stressful process, however working with Jay made things not only easy but wonderful! Jay was recommended by my friend who got married and after having Jay at my own wedding I would undoubtedly recommend him to anyone! From our first conversation and he was kind, accommodating, down to earth and extremely knowledgeable. Owls and Lions offers a truly unique and special wedding entertainment experience that I feel so grateful to have had on my Wedding day! The music selection was great, the acoustics and volume were perfect, and Jay got everyone on their feet. We all had a blast! Thank you Jay you rock! read more

We cannot rave about Spinners (Owls and Lions) more. Right from the beginning of our wedding day, with soft acoustic music while the guests were arriving. To me walking out to a toned-down version of shipping up to Boston (awesome), and my wife walking out to Nicole playing Cannon in D on the violin. Transitioning to cocktail hour with Jay and Nicole playing upbeat acoustic and finding the perfect music for the mood. And finally, Jay turning it up and being the best DJ ever for the reception. They were the absolute best from first song to the last, we picked Irish goodbyes (an Owls and Lions original). We now have guests of the wedding turned onto their music, and we will all be going out to see them live again and again. read more

We booked Owls & Lions for our wedding and we were not disappointed! They are the best of both worlds-- a band for the ceremony/cocktail hour, playing mostly indie folk rock, and a DJ for the reception, playing dance music to get people moving. Jay, Nicole and Chris are fantastic musicians/singers/DJs, very professional and extremely easy to work with. They could really read a room and seemed to know exactly the right song to play at the right time to keep the party going. If you're looking for something a little different for your wedding music experience, look no further! read more

We hired Jay and Nicole to play at our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour, and Jay DJ'd our reception. I would highly recommend this duo and live music / DJ hybrid to anyone who is looking to have live music at their wedding at an affordable price. The music quality was really great and they are both such talented musicians. Our wedding guests were especially impressed with the live music they played during the cocktail hour. Jay was also so helpful during the planning process and was available to answer all of our questions and customize the music to what we wanted. read more

t was so lovely to work with Jay. Despite being very busy, which I would say is a great sign, he made time for us and accommodated all of our requests. He was happy and present during our wedding and we couldn't have asked for a better dj/mc. We also hired Owls and Lions which I heard from my guests were great! I unfortunately was too busy running around to enjoy the live music during my cocktail hour. Jay and his company was definitely a one stop shop for us! He provided live music, dj, mc, and we even got our photo booth from him. Highly recommend! :) read more

Spinners will keep the party going all night long! DJ Ollie and Kevin were perfect. Everyone was dancing form the first song to the last. No one wanted to sit down. They played a perfect mix for cocktail hour and for the reception. They also helped with setting up sound for our keyboard player during our ceremony. The magic mirror Photo Booth was a big hit. We've received so many compliments about how much fun the crew from Spinners Entertainment were. We're so happy we had them at our wedding. Book them! You won't be disappointed. read more

Jay DJ'ed my wedding this past Sunday and I can honestly say I am STILL singing! He was incredible with keeping the party going and made sure everyone was having a good time. The music selection was EXACTLY what we wanted and I still don't have a voice from belting out all my favorite songs! He sang acoustically and played the guitar during my cocktail hour, which was a huge hit with my guests. I cannot say enough good things about him and wish he could DJ every event in my life! Thank you so much Jay you crushed it! read more

If you want to know how amazing Jay Della Valle is, know that he made my father-in-law smile. Our photographer couldn't even get him to do that, and neither have I for like, the seven years I've been with their son. He was incredibly accommodating to our weirder requests (like walking down the aisle to "Another One Bites the Dust," for example). He made our demented vision a beautiful reality, and I cannot recommend this man and Spinners Entertainment enough. If I didn't hate kids, I'd name our firstborn after him. read more

Owls & Lions was the best entertainment we could've ever chosen! We did the hybrid mix of live band and DJ, and it was absolutely perfect -- the dance floor was packed the entire night. I've truly never been to a wedding where every single person was dancing! Our guests are still raving about how it was the best wedding they've ever been to. The vibes were unreal, and Owls & Lions brought so much energy and fun from start to finish. Couldn't have asked for a better band to make our night unforgettable! read more

Jay and Spinners Entertainment are truly top-notch and made the music portion of our May '21 wedding planning so easy. The Honey Badgers provided amazing live music during our ceremony and cocktail hour. DJ Monopoli kept the dance floor packed all night and did a fantastic job playing songs that our guests of all ages loved. Everyone that we dealt with were true professionals and a pleasure to work with. We continue to get compliments on the entertainment from our wedding guests. read more

Jay is very personable, Sings a wide variety of music, Has an awesome voice...He treats his clients like Family, He kept in touch during our wedding planning to make sure every request was fulfilled, Which not many "vendors" do after they book you for an event. I really can't say enough about Jay DellaValle & Spinners Entertainment! You won't be disappointed! :) read more

Jay and Kevin were truly amazing. Both of them together are so entertaining and together they know how to get a crowd excited and dancing. Not only does Jay know how to DJ but he sings and has an awesome voice. Numerous guest told me after the wedding that they never saw such an amazing DJ company. Choosing spinners entertainment for any events you will not be disappointed. The DJ really makes your party! Shiri and Sam read more

Whenever my wife and I now listen to Owls and Lions we are immediately brought back to our wedding day. She and I feel so blessed to have had Nicole and Jay play for our wedding. These two are so talented, passionate, and generous with their music. Our guests raved about them and they are looking for any excuse to have an event to invite them back. We will forever associate Owls and Lions with our wedding! read more

Jay and the Owl and Lions team were amazing! We did a live music/DJ combo for our wedding in May. We received so many compliments from our guests and everybody had a great time. The dance floor was packed all night! Jay was referred to us by a friend and now we will be sure to refer them to others as well! Planning was super easy and all expectations were met. Definitely recommend 100%! read more
