Melodic Music To Symbolize Your Love
Where do we even begin?! We truly cannot say enough amazing things about Mike and our experience with Top Hat! From the very beginning, Mike was an absolute pleasure to work with. He was kind, personable, easy to communicate with, and genuinely excited to help us create the perfect music for our wedding day.
Music has always been such an important part of our relationship, so having someone who really understood our taste meant so much to us. Mike didn’t just take our song requests and make a playlist. He truly listened to what we loved and curated an entire day that felt like US! From the ceremony and cocktail hour to the reception, everything flowed beautifully.
Mike knew exactly how to read the room and keep everyone dancing. He could tell what was getting people excited and would keep that energy going. He played songs that held special meaning to us while mixing in other music that fit our taste perfectly.
One of our favorite moments was when he unexpectedly played one of our favorite songs from the Pitch Perfect movies! We had requested our favorite song from the movies, but he somehow knew to play another one we absolutely loved. We were so excited! It was such a small detail, but it meant so much because it showed just how much he had listened and genuinely cared about making our day special.
And that’s what really sets Mike apart. He’s not only incredible at what he does, but you can tell he truly cares about the couples he works with. His excitement, kindness, and dedication made working with him such a wonderful experience. Our wedding honestly wouldn’t have been the same without him!
We also booked the photobooth through Top Hat, and it was a huge hit! They provided all the props, and we loved that everyone in a group photo got their own copy to take home. We would absolutely recommend adding it!
Mike, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for everything you did for us. You helped create the soundtrack to one of the most important days of our lives, and we couldn’t be more grateful. We will forever appreciate the care and effort you put into making our wedding so perfectly us.
If you’re considering Top Hat for your wedding, do it! You won’t regret it!

Mark from Top Hat was the DJ for our wedding at the Wilburton Inn on 9/26/26 - he was fantastic and made our wedding reception so much fun!! We gave him some pretty curated playlists for cocktail hour, dinner, and the dance floor, along with a hefty do-not-play list, and he did an amazing job bringing everything together while keeping the energy really high and playing all our favorites. He read the crowd so well, and had everyone out on the dance floor throughout the night. We had so many guests compliment the music and DJ, and we couldn’t have asked for a better person to keep the party going. We would absolutely recommend Mark!!

If you want a packed dance floor and zero stress, hire Mike from Top Hat Entertainment! He absolutely nailed the music and energy for our wedding. As an MC, he kept the night runni...
ng smoothly without ever being overbearing. Mike was incredibly receptive and enthusiastic to our wants and needs, going as far as helping us pull off an amazingly unique surprise by playing the Kentucky Derby live during our reception! From the ceremony to the reception, he took our loose vibe preferences for the whole evening and curated playlists that fit every single moment perfectly. He effortlessly transitioned from the beautiful, crisp audio of our ceremony to a sophisticated, upbeat playlist for cocktail hour, dinner and dancing, that all of our guests enjoyed, proving his incredible ability to master the vibe for the entire day. Our guests are still talking about the Derby, the music, and what an incredible party it was.
The value Top Hat added to our wedding experience far exceeded the cost that we paid. We even took advantage of some of their additional perks, like the enhanced DJ booth facade and the Magic Mirror Photo Booth, which elevated the look of our reception hall and increased the fond memories we captured from that day. Thank you, Mike!

he day. We were genuinely excited to have them there. During the day, DJ Mike was so effective, helpful, and so much fun. The sound at our ceremony was perfect: there were no hiccups with any of the equipment, and the ambiance was immaculate. DJ Mike was the perfect mix of flexible, available and focused. Throughout his MCing of the evening he was so available to all our needs, maintaining a warm atmosphere towards our guests and a gentle, and firm protection of our vision (from unruly family members). He was a total ray of sunshine during our wedding and our guests still talk about him, almost a year out from the event. In fact, we have repeatedly heard from our guests that our dance floor was the most fun dance floor of any wedding they'v been to. He created the most INCREDIBLE hora I could have imagined, and an experience that will forever be enshrined in our family history. DJ Mike is truly was someone we will never forget and we are so grateful to all his energy and care. Top Hat ROCKS, and DJ Mike will truly bless your marriage.

Top Hat Entertainment was phenomenal. We worked with Mike for our wedding, and he absolutely nailed the music, the flow, and the overall energy of the night.
We gave him a seven-p...
lus-hour playlist, over 20 songs not to play, and a pretty specific vibe we were hoping to create. He took all of that, understood exactly what we were going for, and then made the night feel effortless. We trusted him to play the right music at the right time, and he completely delivered.
Mike was incredible at reading the crowd and keeping the dance floor going without anything feeling forced. He also coordinated perfectly with the musician we had during cocktail hour, so everything moved seamlessly throughout the night.
One small detail we really appreciated was their custom whitewood DJ booth, which fit beautifully with our venue, The Wilburton Inn, and looked so much better than a standard DJ setup.
We truly could not have been happier. Top Hat Entertainment was professional, thoughtful, fun, and a huge part of why our wedding felt so special.

Mark, our DJ for the night, was funny, professional, and perfectly on point with our music choices. He kept the energy high all night long.
We also took advantage of their photo mirror service as a gift for our guests, and it was a huge hit! Everyone loved the interactive mirror, and it created amazing memories—not just for our guests, but for us too. We received digital copies of all the photos, which was such a fun keepsake.
If you want a stress-free experience and an unforgettable party, Top Hat Entertainment is the way to go.

ng for info about what music we wanted and we sent playlists and a "do not play" list as well. Communication was easy and we felt like we were able to give all information needed without being inundated with decision fatigue. Sound for the ceremony and cocktail hour was great - no technical issues. For dancing, Darren figured out the vibe of the party pretty quickly and catered the music to what was getting the crowd going. I remember at one point, the photographer wanted to take us for more photos and had to ask Darren to put on a less exciting song so we would be willing to leave the dancefloor :)
Photobooth was great. They set up a backdrop and fun props for our guests. It was definitely well-utilized!
And I would recommend adding the uplighting. It wasn't all that expensive and definitely made the dance floor feel more like a party!
10/10 would recommend!

played some more traditional wedding music, but we wanted to switch it up a bit, and Mark perfectly understood our vision. We had several dance sets of more traditional wedding and then the final hour was dedicated to just bangers. Everyone came up to us after and couldn't stop talking about how much fun they had!! Literally everyone in the wedding was dancing the entire night!! Their photo booth was also perfect for what we wanted and we had our guests add them all into a wedding album for us to cherish for the rest of our lives. Their whole service felt extremely personalized. I cannot recommend them enough!!

Mark, called us the week of the wedding to go over details. Mark was so wonderful and easy to work with- and he knew our venue well which made working with other vendors and the day of coordination super simple. The sound during the ceremony and the reception was beautiful and Mark did a great job with timing of songs and entrances and anything we thought of. I had the grooms people do a t-shirt toss as the entrance, which Mark announced and made it clear and easy for everyone!
We also loved our photo booth and will cherish those fun memories for years to come.
If you’re looking for the best in the business for professionalism, ease of your wedding day, and fun- look no further than Top Hat. I wouldn’t want to imagine my day without them!
Additionally, my mom booked top hat to host a bridal trivia for me and Michael made it so unique and personal to me with mixing in pop culture too. It was so fun!

One of the most special moments was our private dance before the grand exit—we gave Daren almost no guidance, yet he somehow picked the most perfect song. And for the final song of the night, he chose a song from our must-play list that we never would've thought to play as a finale, but it brought the entire group together in the most incredible way for one last song.
Daren’s ability to read the room and create unforgettable moments is unmatched. If you’re looking for a DJ who will make your wedding feel effortless and amazing, Top Hat Entertainment is the way to go!

We had the pleasure of working with Mike from the initial consultation call, through the contracting period, and until we were assigned a DJ for our event. Mike is engaging, enthusiastic, flexible, accommodating, and kind. His knowledge and expertise (and willingness to work alongside/collaborate with other musicians for a portion of our wedding day) really sold us on Top Hat. Can you, perhaps, find a cheaper DJ out there? Sure. Do you get what you pay for? 1000%. This brings me to our wedding day.
Mark DJ'ed on our big day and let me tell you: he DELIVERED. About 3 weeks before the wedding, he spent over an hour with us on the phone. He meticulously reviewed all of the details with us, including how he would mic us for the ceremony, introduce us into the reception, how he would splice the song we want played for the cake cutting. He reviewed our 'Must Play' songs and 'Do Not Play' lists... he even worked with us on the fly to create a cut of our first dance song during the call. W.O.W. Mark also went ahead and created an 'In Case of Emergency' playlist to cover the selections that the String Quartet was meant to play for ceremony/cocktail hour in the event they couldn't attend due to a weather event (we got married during the winter season here in VT, so this was very much a reality-based concern). I mean, how above-and-beyond. Mark was just so detail-oriented and thoughtful. We could really tell that he cared deeply about making sure everything was perfect. And then, guess what? It was!! He seamlessly executed every single thing we talked about. No notes. On top of that, he brought a delightful, vibrant, and fun energy to our day. I can't say enough good things about him and Top Hat. Choose Top Hat if you want the highest quality entertainment on one of the most important days of your life.

He’s genuinely funny, kind, and a whirlwind of energy, making him the perfect addition to any celebration.
We also rented his vintage mirror photo booth, and let me tell you—it was a huge hit! Guests couldn’t stop raving about it, and it added so much fun to our event. Beyond that, Mike offered incredible value. When our band tried to charge us an arm and a leg for an extra hour, Mike came through with a more than reasonable price for the ceremony. On top of that, he even threw in lighting services for us as a favor—and did it for an amazing price. Talk about going the extra mile!
Honestly, I wish we’d booked Mike for the full DJ services before we committed to the band, but that’s just a testament to how much we love working with him. His energy, kindness, and talent are unmatched. Book him now—you won’t regret it.

Our goal for our wedding was to have a DJ that faded into the background but played music the crowd would love, and that's just what we got. For the ceremony, they mixed music based on our requests to ensure nothing went too long, they were very happy to trim down our first dance and father/daughter dance so they weren't 5 minutes each, and those mixes sounded like the songs were meant to be that way. We had guests as young as 1 1/2 and up to mid-70s dancing. Damon knew what to play based on who was on the dance floor and we never felt a lull from the crowd. Thank you to Top Hat for being a pivotal part of our amazing night!!

There were several times where I’d catch her singing along to the music, dancing, and just looking genuinely happy to be there. What an absolute pleasure!
The magic mirror is super cool because not only can you print copies for everyone taking photos, but they also send you a link to access digital copies of all of the photos taken! I’m so glad we decided to utilize Top Hat and they were great to work with!!
