I had the pleasure of working with Kevin Williams - DJ with Powerstation Events - for a wedding recently and it was a perfect event from start to finish. As a wedding planner, I sincerely appreciate collaborating with other vendors who are passionate about providing a positive experience for their clients. Throughout the planning process, he was organized and thorough. Leading up to the event during the final communications, he was responsive and flexible.
On the day-of, he was a stellar DJ - capturing guests attention with respect, energy and excitement. The dance floor was packed and he totally read the crowd to keep the celebration going til the end! I am thrilled to recommend his services and look forward to working with him again in the future! 6/4/22 - I had a chance to work with another great PSE DJ, Erik. Yet, another awesome event went off without a hitch - great preparation & energy through and through!

We utilized DJ Christi from Powerstation Events for our wedding at the Barns on Wesleyan Hills. SHE WAS AMAZING! They were very organized with payments and meetings. She gave great feedback when making decisions for our wedding day. She played to the crowd and kept people dancing all night. Would recommend Christi to everyone!

I can't say enough about DJ Jesse from Powerstation. He is all around awesome to work with. He was very personable and easy to work with pre wedding, and for our actual wedding (ceremony, cocktail hour, reception) he was perfect! He truly kept all of our guests out on the dance floor when it was time to party, without being an overbearing in your face DJ. He effortlessly (in the best way) kept the party going & made our night perfect! No complaints at all & would hire him again in a heartbeat!

Jesse was so much fun to work with. He was super flexible with changes the the night of the wedding and never skipped a beat. Jesse was very professional but still knew how to still have a great time. The positive and high energy on the dance floor never waivered from the moment the dance floor opened until the last song. Our perfect wedding night came to life with help from Jesse and his team at Powerstations. Powerstations was also very easy to work with and super reliable - the whole process was organized and easy. I would highly reccomend using Jesse at Powerstations for any DJ'ing needs.
