206 Events

Troy was AWESOME! He was recommended by our venue, Willows Lodge, and once we met with him, we knew he would be the perfect DJ for us. He is so flexible, completely understands your style even if you can’t explain it well, and reads the crowd so well. We had EVERYONE on the dance floor! So many of our guests came up to me during and after the wedding telling me how much fun they were having and how awesome he was… I even had someone say they want him for her upcoming NY wedding! Not only is Troy super fun, but he knows what he is doing. My husband and I had no idea the routine of weddings and he worked with the venue and photographer to keep us on a timeline and make the night go so smoothly, without bugging us at all– we didn’t have to worry one bit. Troy is awesome. Do yourself a favor and hire him!

Troy was excellent from the very beginning. We were out of town for the majority of the wedding planning and he made it as simple, convenient, and professional as possible. From the first consultation to week leading up to the wedding, he was always available and made sure that he developed a personal relationship with us and it really showed during the wedding. My now wife and I both have very busy schedules and Troy got everything done as we asked and much more. He was able to gauge the mood of the event and he hit every song at the perfect time. Dinner service was also an excellent mix and provided a great ambiance to our wedding. Once he meets with you and gets a flavor of your playlist, it’s smooth sailing from there. Highly Recommend.

I used Troy’s services for my wedding in August 2014. From beginning to end, he was prompt in all of our communications and made us feel at ease. Rest assured, he is not the cheesy DJ we are all trying to avoid! He is very musically oriented and has a lot of experience in the industry. His DJ services included MC services and he was great at that as well. He really helped our wedding just FLOW and kept us on schedule. His rate was reasonable compared to other DJs I looked into and his equipment, lighting, and sound were all great. He also comes prepared with back up equipment just in case of an emergency. This guy knows his stuff. Definitely recommend!

We had Troy DJ at our wedding a couple weeks ago and leading up to it we felt great and thought he understood what our vision was. The day of the wedding he decided to change the lighting without letting us know despite what we told him in our consultation. Due to it being such a busy day, neither me or my wife had a chance to see the lighting at the alter until we saw pictures the next day. He made it a bright pink background when we had insisted on white. Not only were we mad about this major mistake, but the fact that he didn’t try to make the situation better. He called us but never did he attempt to mend the situation; he simply claimed that we left the lighting up to his discretion. Now we may have to pay our photographer more money to attempt to completely change the color of the alter in our ceremony pictures.
The fact is that the mistake at the wedding happened and can’t be undone. My main displeasure with him is he showed no remorse for the situation and didn’t attempt to make it better or ask how he could make us satisfied. He simply took our money and then didn’t care that we were unhappy. We have noted his lack of professionalism and made sure to tell all of our other vendors to not recommend him for weddings they may due in the future. I never write reviews, but in this case his blatant disregard for our situation was a sign of bad business as well as character.
Please disregard Troy’s comment to my post below. He is being deceitful and making false claims regarding the situation and how he is handling it.

Troy did an incredible job as our DJ! Once the dancing started, people did not leave the dance floor for hours. Troy played music that guests of all ages enjoyed. Even my grandmother was getting down :) All of our friends said that they have never been to a wedding with such a great DJ.

I cannot express enough how great Troy is! My husband and I were on the fence about getting a DJ for our wedding, which was pretty small and not a very dancey crowd (or so we thought…). So music was not something we wanted to spend a lot on. But our caterer recommended Troy to us and he was able to work with us to reach a comfortable price point, and we booked him for the peace of mind of having an MC to run the show.
Troy was a great MC and also very proactive in our communications about likes/​dislikes, itinerary, etc., which was important because we’re from out of town. Best of all, he really got the party going. He played just the right mix of music that was super fun to dance to, but that everyone could enjoy. The music and dancing was better than I could have imagined. At one point we were taking photos downstairs and we could hear everyone stomping around like crazy above us on the dance floor! I highly recommend 206 Events and Troy specifically — it really took our event to the next level and made our wedding unforgettable.

I AM SO GRATEFUL FOR TROY! When our original DJ chose to work a different event and bailed on our wedding, Troy was there to reassure us and make our dream wedding a reality. He met with us on multiple occasions; an initial meeting, a planning meeting at our venue, and again a couple weeks before the big day to finalize the timeline. He worked with our coordinator to make our day flow seamlessly. Troy appreciated our love of music and made a playlist that truly reflected our personalities. He provided music for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. All night people commented on how great the music was! Troy also provided uplighting that really made our venue even more spectacular and helped to get the dance party really going. In addition, he respected our desire to really make the evening about family and helped to create a warm, welcoming party where everyone felt included. Troy went above and beyond any of our expectations for what a DJ would bring to our wedding and I am truly thankful he was part of our day.

We are so happy that we chose 206 Events to manage the music for our wedding. Troy Whalen invited us to meet with him weeks before the ceremony and reception. It was well worth it. He spent time getting to know us and our diverse tastes in music. He took time to research the venue and crafted a plan that was perfect for the day. He provided music, sound systems and lighting both indoors and out. As the bride, I was totally at ease when I arrived at the venue and saw Troy at work. He loves what he does and it shows! You will not at all be disappointed with Troy Whalen as your music man!

Troy went above and beyond to make our wedding great, and he was by far my favorite vendor! He is a true professional and has experience in the catering industry, as well as DJing, so he really understands the flow of a wedding from start to finish.
Troy met with us on two separate occasions — an initial meeting and a final meeting a few weeks before the wedding — to get an idea of our expectations, tastes in music, the feel of the wedding etc. He really understood us as a couple and what we were looking for and was able to translate that into an awesome dance party at our reception! We had guests of all ages, and everyone was on the dance floor the entire time because he really knows how to keep a crowd moving. Troy also did the music for our ceremony and cocktail hour, and he was spot on with both of these too.
Not only was Troy a great DJ during the evening, but he was also a great emcee since our venue had 3 different locations for all of the evening’s events. He was able to move people from place to place in a friendly, efficient manner.
One thing I was a little unsure about before the wedding was the «uplighting» Troy convinced us to get at the reception. I am no longer a doubter… these were AWESOME!!! Troy provided lights that created a really pretty atmosphere during dinner, and once the dancing started, they really helped to get the party going. Get these and you won’t regret it!
We had many, many guests tell us Troy was the best DJ they had ever heard at a wedding, and I wholeheartedly agree!
