Top Hat Entertainment was an excellent choice for our DJ services for our wedding! Mike and the team made it easy to figure out what we needed, were very responsive via email and phone, and made all the sound mixing flawless for our ceremony and reception, which was no easy feat as it was at two different locations. Our wedding planner said Top Hat was the only DJ she could recommend and noted that they were extremely professional, did not try to overtake the reception and party, and were easy to work with. We found that all to be the case. Their rates were reasonable for DJing services and we ended up also booking their magic mirror Photo Booth which our guests enjoyed and a projector to display a slideshow. It was nice to be able to customize the output of the Photo Booth to add our wedding logo and information. The projector and Photo Booth were more expensive than we would have liked especially compared to the DJ services but they both went flawlessly. Our DJ was the owner Mike, who we loved and would highly recommend. He was super friendly, wanted to answer any questions we had, had a questionnaire for us to fill out ahead of time to ensure he had everything he needed for the ceremony and reception. He had lavaliere microphones for our officiants, a standing microphone for speakers during the ceremony which made it easy to hear for our guests. He also connected with a musician we hired to amplify his music as well. For the reception, he did a great job emceeing the reception, transitioning between toasts and cake cutting and then did a wonderful job with the dance music and kept the dance floor lively and fun! Everything was smooth, professional, and flawless, which is exactly what we had hoped for! We'd highly recommend Mike and Top Hat Entertainment for your Vermont wedding! read more

We rented a television for wedding reception on board the Spirit of Ethan Allen recently and it could not have gone more perfectly! The owner explained how to make our video work, encouraged me to practice it there in the store until I felt comfortable, carried the tv to the car for me, and was very generous in the time frame he allowed for us to return the tv. Honestly, the entire experience was positive, happy, reassuring, friendly, and professional. I highly recommend Top Hat Entertainment, and and am very grateful for the expert help and advice! read more

We used Top Hat for our recent wedding in Vermont (Mountain Top Inn), and had the best experience! Mike was our DJ, and leading up to the wedding he was responsive, easy to work with, and helpful. His energy in emails/phone calls was contagious, and we'd leave interactions with him feeling that much more excited for the wedding. Day of, he provided ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception music and was phenomenal! My big hope for our wedding reception (especially post Covid) was that people would dance, and he did such a great job, the dance floor was full all night! He had the best energy, and was great to work with. I'm so glad we found Top Hat! I should also mention, we rented Top Hat's "magic mirror" photobooth. Our guests thought it was so cool, and it made a great favor. I was originally on the fence about a photobooth, but it was so fun, and made for some hilarious pictures! Thank you Mike and Top Hat! read more

Top Hat is the absolute best!!!! We worked with Mike for our wedding at Mountain Top Inn. Throughout the planning process Mike was awesome, reassuring, very easy to communicate with, and supportive of our vision for our day. Mike provided music for our whole wedding day, from pre-ceremony to the last song at the reception. It was flawless. My husband and I love to dance, so having a full and fun dance floor was a big priority. Mike REALLY knows how to build a dance floor. I was so impressed. At one point I looked around at our packed dance floor and thought "DAMN this is a good party!!!!!" It was the best feeling. The next day I got a ton of compliments from guests about how good the DJ was. THANK YOU TOP HAT for helping us through the party of our lives!!! read more

Top hat DJ services is truly top notch! From the initial meeting through the consultation and carried out through the event it went off without a hitch. I would recommend these services to anyone looking for a wedding or any other event requiring DJ services looking for perfection! read more

My wife and I hired Top Hat as the DJ at our wedding in Ludlow, VT this past May. Our specific DJ was Damon. We had an outdoor ceremony which unfortunately ended up being beset by rain at its conclusion, though our reception took place within a tent. The DJ was an excellent presence at the reception without being overbearing or stealing the spotlight. We had a number of songs we wanted played which were featured throughout the reception, and the chosen songs for the ceremony were well adhered to. The quality of the music was excellent. The microphones for the ceremony worked out beautifully, both those for us and the stand mike used for our readers. We found the price for their services reasonable and deeply appreciated their easy-going business demeanor. Additionally, their set-up and take-down proceeded without a hitch on our end. Unfortunately, there were some negatives, which we were able to move past but did notice. The wrong song was initially played for the father daughter dance, which though rectified later constituted one speed bump. A few of the songs we specifically requested played were not, including the one I had selected and sent the track for specifically to Top Hat for the garter toss. Additionally, in my interactions with Top Hat's office I did not get the impression of tremendous organization, and leading up to the wedding they mistakenly indicated that they would send an extra person and a photo booth when we had made no such request. Thankfully this was rectified before the wedding after I contacted them. Also, toward the end of the reception our DJ was preparing to pack up at 10:00 PM when our contract specifically indicated that music was to continue until 10:30 PM. Thankfully, between the Innkeeper and myself we were able to keep the music going. Finally, in a more minor incident the DJ mixed up the names of our respective parents during a celebration of marriage dance that we had. The DJ services they provide are most definitely solid and their equipment is excellent. I would simply be prepared to be vigilant with them as a client in the lead up to an event and during the event itself. read more

Very solid, competent DJ for our wedding. The transitions between songs and genres could have been smoother, but we got everything we requested and nothing we blacklisted. His pacing throughout the night, and timing on introductions and announcements was great. read more

We used Top Hat as our music for our cocktail hour and reception at our barn wedding in Arlington, VT. Damon did a spectacular job! He was very professional, had a great presence and was on top of all of the details. We requested a mix of spanish music (salsa/merengue) as well as the usual dance music and he did a great job of mixing the two up and keeping both sides of our family happy and dancing! He was even attentive to our timeline with our photographer, pulling us aside to make sure we did our cake cutting and mother-son/father-daughter dances while she was still with us. I received multiple comments from guests stating how great the DJ was, open to suggestion and playing the perfect mix of american and spanish styles to keep everyone happy. We couldn't have been more pleased and happy with Damon. His professionalism and experience made our evening a wonderful hit! read more

Mark from Top Hat is absolutely wonderful. He was the DJ for our wedding this past weekend, and he kept people smiling and dancing (even those guests I was pretty sure wouldn't get up) all night. From the ceremony music to the last song....it was wonderful, and he was such a pleasure to work with. It was everything I wanted....it was perfect. If you are looking for a DJ, look no further!!! read more

Daren from Top Hat was the DJ at my wedding a few weeks ago. My husband and I could not be happier with our choice to hire Top Hat! They were very attentive to detail and made time to meet with me and call me to go over everything I needed before the day of the event. When the day came, they did exactly as I asked and played appropriate softer music during dinner and cocktail hour, and then played dancing music for the rest! My guests were out on the dance floor the entire time, and they were so happy to hear the songs they had requested on their RSVP cards! Daren also did a great job at keeping the entire day very organized. He announced what needed to be said, came to my husband and I before he announced anything, and walked us through what we needed to do and where we needed to be. It was so great to have an experienced DJ to help us out with this! I would highly recommend Top Hat to any other bride and groom, or anyone throwing a party!! read more

So so disappointed... Worst memory of my wedding.. The DJ that I requested was all of a sudden unavailable. I sent them a list of song requests that my guests requested on my response card... He did not play a single one from that list. He by past the list and went straight to the second list of filler songs I had just in case. The wedding coordinator and Dj did not have any communicate so my wedding party announcement just couldn't be done... And to top it all of the announcement song he played as he just announced us was the wrong song!!!!!!.... The $1000 photo booth was a glorified cardboard box!!!.... When I told them how unhappy and disappointed I was he just said... O well!!!.. They don't care.. They got there money.. Real class act... I could keep going but what's the point.. I just hope that someday I will look back and not focus on this very disappointing memory only on the good of that day.. Please rethink before you deal with these crooks. read more

Top Hat Entertainment is fantastic! They brought so much fun to the reception and provided us with some wonderful memories from our wedding.

You can't go wrong with Top Hat Entertainment and we will continue recommending them to all of our friends and family! read more

Wedding was amazing and the entertainment was a huge part of it. My DJ was able to grab and keep everyone on the dance floor from the beginning to the end and left us wanting more. I would highly recommend using their services for your next event. read more
