My husband and I hired Kevin Barnett through Collins Entertainment to DJ our wedding. Kevin met with me prior to the wedding and took detailed notes on my bridal party, what songs I wanted played, requests from my guests, and what songs I definitely didn't want played . Who knew there was a specific song for cake cutting? I didn't. We remained in contact in the weeks leading up to my wedding about finalizing things so I wouldn't have to worry about anything the day of. Kevin took the time to go over every little detail of our reception and what would be played during cocktail hour, dinner, and songs we wanted played for dancing. Kevin went above and beyond our expectations. He cultivated such a fun and exciting night, while keeping it very professional as he MCed through the events of our reception. He even helped us organize a group picture of everyone at our reception by calling them onto the dance floor. We got an awesome picture and it was a great way to get everyone dancing. Kevin even came up to me at the reception to ask if there were any other songs that i wanted to hear. Whatever I told him I wanted to hear he would play it next. Loved hearing all my favorite songs surrounded by all the people I love. My guests have told me that our wedding was one of the best weddings they've attended, and I believe Kevin's professional DJ skills created such a fun atmosphere. Would definitely recommend him for all my friends and family members who are currently engaged. We loved having Kevin be apart of our special day. More...

We hired Collins Entertainment to DJ/MC our wedding on September 27, 2019 after a long online search. We knew we had chosen the right company after reading numerous, positive reviews. What really sold us was our initial video chat meeting with owner Jim. It was so convenient to chat through video rather than in person. Jim really took the time to get to know us and find out what we were looking for for our wedding. We were very impressed with how organized everything was. We filled out a form that outlined our music tastes and preferences. There was also an online portal we were given access to that helped us list songs that were “must plays” or “do not plays”. There were several meetings with Jim prior to the main event which were extremely helpful and fun. Closer to the wedding date, we had the chance to video chat with our DJ/MC Mike who quickly got a sense for our music vision and made us feel even more confident in our decision. On the actual wedding day, Mike did an incredible job. The ceremony music was seamless and just what we had outlined. The reception couldn’t have run more smoothly thanks to Jim’s organization. Everything was timed just right and we did not have to worry about a thing. Mike checked in with us frequently to be sure things were going as planned. Everyone was on the dance floor all night. The music mix was perfect for all ages. We couldn’t have been happier with Collins Entertainment and would recommend them to anyone! More...

My husband and I got married at Great River Golf Club on September 14, 2019. We had Jim be our emcee, had another booth attendant during the reception, and purchased the mirror photo booth for 3 hours during the reception. Jim played the biggest part in making our wedding so perfect. His help throughout the planning process and assistance on the wedding day went beyond our expectations. He played so many different roles and made everything seem so seamless. He and his team are professional and were able to read the crowd so well during the reception. I've never seen so many people dance on the dance floor at any wedding before. Our wedding was unforgettable, a blast, hilarious, sweet and elegant all at the same time and our friends continue to rave about how wonderful our DJ was! More...

Between Jim planning and Kevin Djing/MCing the wedding we had a very specific vision beforehand that they were able to execute flawlessly.

Out of all my vendors (20+ people/companies) Jim Collins was by far my favorite to work with. He was professional, punctual, detail oriented, friendly, and had great communication. From the time I signed the agreement Jim sent monthly emails checking in giving tips and details to keep in mind. He has an organizer online that helps you pick out music. He planned skype meetings two separate times with us as it got closer to go over the minute by minute night. He made sure everyones names were correctly pronounced and assured that he knew everything he needed. We also used Collins Entertainment for our ceremony audio and photo booth services. I think what I hate most is going to a wedding and you can't hear anything, I stressed to Jim how important it was that everyone could hear us clearly. Every person front to back of our ceremony that I've spoken to said could hear us perfectly. We were wirelessly mic'd with high tech equipment and it went so smooth. For the photo booth, he had tons of accessories and props, people had a blast! We picked the mirror booth, it was a little more money but totally worth it. Very unique experience. Overall Jim is such a great guy, he couldn't have been more of a professional. Anyone I know who is need of DJ services I would recommend him to! More...

:::Attention::: -If you are in search for an awesome DJ/Master of ceremonies for your wedding, look no further!! Collins Entertainment is the one for you! !
They did our wedding a little over a week ago and we absolutely loved them. We got comment after comment from our guests telling us how much they loved the music and entertainment we had. Jim Collins and his assistant Kevin did a great job and we can’t thank them enough for helping us create our vision! About a year in a half before our wedding date we were in search for a DJ for our wedding and then I came across “Collins Entertainment” and I just knew we had to book them! We still had a whole year and a half before the big day but I’m really good at reading people and my instincts sure were right! I am so happy that we booked them so early because not only did it secure our date, but also put us at ease. Just talking with Jim gave me confidence that our night would be awesome!
He’s not only a DJ but a master of ceremonies as well. He helped with the timeline of the wedding and gives you an internet data base to organize your vision, save songs you want played etc. It’s a great and easy to use computer system that really helped us out with all the planning! After talking first with him on the phone we set up a time to Skype so he could get to know us a little more and talk about a plan.
We then set up a time to meet at a Panara to chat in person. I loved meeting with him because while planning a wedding you have so many thoughts and ideas running through your mind, it’s good to get them all out in the open to the guy who is creating your wedding! We Skyped one more time before the day to finalize everything and go through the timeline and order of events. Jim kept in contact our entire engagement and answered any questions or concerns we had. Even though we were a year and a half out, he kept in contact and was so excited to help! His professionalism and personality was definitely something to remember.
We had so many ideas for songs and he made all those ideas that I thought were impossible, happen! Literally can’t thank them enough for the time they put into our vision.
Throughout the whole wedding he is announcing things and keeping the guests up and enjoying the night with your music selections that you picked along with his expertise. He’s very good at reading the crowd and knowing which songs to play at what time. He even came up to our sweetheart table during the night to check on us to see if he could do anything for us which was so nice! All of our other vendors loved them too and said he was great to work with.
He definitely knows his stuff since he’s done so many different weddings, I trusted him when he gave me advice on things I was questioning. He did an anniversary dance and called up couples who were married 1 year, 5 year, 10 years etc and kept calling them up and to put an even better twist on it, he used my parents wedding song and my now husband’s parents wedding song for this special idea. My mom and mother in-law definitely had a good happy cry and loved that we did that!
After telling him as a kid that I used to make up silly raps just joking around for fun he game me the bride, the confidence to rap at our wedding lol! -
He is just full of ideas and it really shows in his work that he truly loves what he does!!
Collins Entertainment is the absolute BEST, and that’s a fact.

My now husband Brandon and I had the pleasure of working with Jim and Mike while planning out the ceremony and reception music and timeline for our recent wedding! We first met Jim via a “no-strings-attached” web chat where we got to know him as a person and learn why it is he loves what he does. During that time he really worked to get to know us both as individuals and as a couple, this alone was already more than we were expecting when we first started looking for a DJ/MC. After listening to how passionate he is about his work and reading through other reviews, we knew we just had to hire Collins Entertainment as our DJ/MC for our ceremony and reception at Tyrone Farm in Pomfret, CT this past September 22nd!! The planning process working with Jim and Mike was a breeze! Both Brandon and I knew what main songs we wanted, but really trusted them and their professional judgement to fill in the rest! A couple months before the wedding we also got to meet them in person where they made sure how to correctly pronounce everyone’s names and talk us through how everything works. The day of our wedding we were pleased to have Mike come out as our MC along with an assistant DJ. They were both very professional and fun and everyone loved them, we had a blast the whole time! They really helped to keep a good flow going the whole night and there wasn’t a moment where anyone looked as if they weren’t having a good time.

We HIGHLY recommend hiring Collins Entertainment for your wedding or event!! We hired Jim to be our DJ and Master of Ceremonies for our wedding at Camp Laurelwood in Madison, CT in September 2018. Jim and his assistant also did music for our ceremony, including wireless microphones for the ceremony, and music for the cocktail hour in addition to the reception. Everything went smoothly and we got a TON of compliments regarding Jim and the music. Many people told us he was the best DJ they'd ever seen at a wedding! My fiancee and I could not believe how much forethought and planning Jim puts into the events he works. His website and planning materials are extremely useful and easy to use. Together, over multiple Skype sessions, we went over every little detail regarding our timeline for wedding day, the music, announcements, toast, etc. Jim thinks of everything! His style for making announcements and introducing special dances was exactly what we wanted and matched our wedding's style perfectly. He had a great presence while speaking to our guests and got everyone's attention, but he was not overly talkative as some MC's can be. He worked flawlessly with our Day of Coordinator to keep us on schedule. We had an absolute blast dancing and so did our guests. Jim also put together some special audio clips of my fiancee and I separately answering questions about our relationship and how we met. It was such a lovely extra touch and I will treasure those audio clips forever. Jim went above and beyond what we ever thought we would get out of hiring a DJ and MC. I would not hesitate for a second to hire Collins Entertainment for your wedding or event. He is extremely professional, thoughtful, and easy to work with. He will listen to what you want for your big day, and make it happen! 5 stars all the way!! More...

Six months later and our families are STILL talking about Jim! From planning to the big day, Jim could not have been more helpful, more professional, more courteous, or more fun! We could not recommend Jim highly enough!! More...

Jim was a pleasure to work with, and always made sure that the service he provided was in line with our wishes. He communicated with all of our other vendors, too, which was really helpful in terms of making sure the entire reception went smoothly. We also loved that we were able to have such a huge input as to song choices and when certain songs would be played. More...

We hired Jim for our wedding a few weeks ago and we where not disappointed! He was professional, very accessible every time we had questions or wanted to talk, never rushed us during meetings, and took his time to get to know us as a couple and what we wanted and expected. His online forms where very easy to use and really helped us form a time line which was extra important for our photographer. The best part was he got EVERYONE involved in dancing. When our guests left they could not stop talking about how impressed they where with Jim. It's been three weeks and we still here how great he was! I don't think we could have chosen anyone better to help us with our wedding and I'd recommend him to everyone. More...

Our wedding was on October 9th. We knew from the beginning that having a good DJ was very important to us therefore it was the first vendor we chose aside from our venue.

My husband and I grew up dancing and met at a club so we knew that we wanted to dance the night away with our closest friends and family. Therefore we searched for days and finally found Jim. We were excited by his great reviews but what really sold us was our initial meeting with him via FaceTime. He understood our vision and also gave us many creative ways to keep our guests engaged and to embrace our love.

We were able to keep everything organized on a timeline on a website and choose particular songs that we liked or disliked to create a unique playlist.

Jim was even able to keep a surprise dance that my husband did a secret through our planning and it was composed seamlessly!

We can't thank Jim enough for all the hard work he put in to making our reception so fun and eventful!

I just had my wedding on 9.10.16 and I highly recommend Collins productions. We live in NC and JIm made it very easy to plan the day. He was available with email or skype which helped out a bunch. His website and documents were very easy to use and he was very prepared to answer any of our questions. He is very experienced and professional with planning. The execution on the day was also amazing. He coordinated with the other vendors to make sure the day went by without any issues. He sends you a schedule of the day before the wedding and puts you at ease that everything has been planned for. If you do book Collins Productions I highly recoomend that you opt for the Photo Booth. The booth was one of our favorite add ons to the day and you get a cool photo album at the end of the day. Do yourself a favor and book a true professional with Collins Productions. More...

Full disclosure - Jim is a lifelong friend, and was incredibly generous to give us his services as a wedding present. That alone, was fantastic, and more than enough. However, he also recommended to us a photographer (David Frost Photography) and videographer (Ryan Burns), both of whom we are responsible and professional as he was.

Our wedding was on 8/27, and went off without a hitch. Jim was all-about communication, every step of the way, to make sure he was going to give us exactly what we wanted, and nothing of what we didn't want. My wife and I are also pretty easy-going people, so we also appreciated his suggestions to help guide us when we couldn't figure out what we wanted.

He was also patient, as we were so busy we weren't always able to get right back to him.

On the wedding day, he was there as bright and early as I was, to set up both the reception and the sound system for the wedding. He played all the songs we requested, gave us a great introduction, and did a good job of engaging the people and getting them up to the dance floor when we wanted to make things a little more lively.

He was really big on making sure he was exactly as involved as we wanted him to be, no more or no less. We actually didn't require much of him, but I'm sure other couples who want a big party where the DJ will be the host, ringleader and Master of Ceremonies will be just as happy with Jim's services. We were thrilled! 10/10.

Jim was the DJ at my wedding on 8/12/16 he was awesome! He was very helpful before the wedding making me feel 100% confident that my wedding would be the best! He listened to exactly what we wanted and everyone was dancing the entire time! I received so many compliments from the guests on Jim and how much fun they had dancing! Leading up to the wedding he was always there to answer questions, and he had ideas that I did not even think of for the ceremony and reception. I had nothing but a positive experience and I am going to recommend Jim in the future. More...
