Bat Mitzvah 6.12.10
Review
Binghamton Country Club, Binghamton, NY
We were thrilled with Kevin's DJ service at our son's
Bar Mitzvah. Everyone said that they had a wonderful time. The kids had a
ball, and spent the whole night dancing and playing games. One week later
people are still talking about how much they enjoyed the Bar Mitzvah. Kevin
was great with the kids and ran everything professionally and by schedule.
People loved the Cup of Life Ceremony, and it was a wonderful way for us to
get pictures of the relatives with our son. Thanks Kevin for doing a great
job with all of the details, and for hosting an extremely fun and memorable
event!

Bat Mitzvah 4.24.10 Review
Dinosaur Bar-B-Q, Syracuse NY
Every aspect of our daughter's Bat
Mitzvah celebration was flawlessly
executed. Kevin and his team of
professionals kept the kids and the
adults entertained and involved the
entire evening. The orchestration
of the evening was timed perfectly
and all the details handled.
Kevin's equipment is impressive -
everything from the sound to the
lights is top notch. The dancers
were friendly, professional and made
all the kids feel comfortable.
Leading up to the event, Kevin kept
us on schedule. The on-line tools,
especially the playlist feature,
allowed our daughter to feel that it
really was her party while allowing
parental oversight of the
selections. There is nothing we
would have changed with the event
and extend our most sincere
gratitude to Kevin for his
professionalism and partnership in
planning / executing our special
occasion.

We used Kevin for our
daughters Bat Mitzvah, and could not
be happier with the our choice.
From the first conversation, Kevin
was actively involved, open with
advice, and committed to making the
day beyond comparison. The on-line
tools allowed us to preselect
songs. The form allowed us to
choreograph and script various parts
of the celebration. The lights,
games, bubbles, and prizes made it a
wholly enjoyable day for adults and
children. From a parents
perspective, having someone to lead
the planning of events was
invaluable! It allowed me to focus
on everything else during the days
before, and the day of the event.
From the perspective of my daughter
(the only one that really matters),
it was PHENOMENAL. Of all the Bar
and Bat Mitzvah’s she has attended,
she felt this was the best DJ
experience by far. She walked away
from a special day feeling like the
experience was greatly enhanced by
Kevin and his team, and feeling like
there was nothing that could have
been done to make it more special.
Above and beyond simply recommending
him to others, I am already decided
on using him for my sons Bar Mitzvah
in a few years.
Thank you!

Just wanted to let
you know how much fun all our guests
had at my son Peter's Bar
Mitzvah...John was great, the music
was hot, and the video montage was
very touching...the dancers did a
great job of getting everyone up and
moving and of handing out all the
crazy giveaways you suggested we
spice things up with! Your Cup of
Life recommendation was a wonderful,
unique way to honor the important
people in Peter's life...to see the
smile on my son's face and to watch
him with his buddies on the dance
floor was worth EVERYTHING to me...a
week later people are still talking
about what a great night it
was...folks commented that it our
celebration was just the right mix
of elegance coupled with hip hip
hooray! Thanks for making this
important occasion such a memorable
event for us and for all our friends
and family! We knew we came to the
right place for a party done the
right way! The time and effort you
put into making personalizing our
event is greatly appreciated. We
look forward to other family
celebrations in the future with you
guys involved!

Wow!!
Talk about kick butt
parties! I have to say you guys did a
fantastic!!! job...the room looked great with
all of your lighting and special effects...the
sound system was outrageous and the dancers were
especially fun (Chad was a great addition) and
of course DJ Kevin was flawless. Our
guests are raving about the whole
package...Thank you soooooo much for putting in
so much effort. We would never plan a Kevin
ColangeloLESS party!
It has been a pleasure
working with you Kevin, we'll be in touch!

Hi Kevin:
From the
service, to the party, we could not have asked
for a better Bat Mitzvah celebration. Robyn and
I have been involved in running a lot of events
over the years and we always aim at hiring the
best people who compliment each other. We are
very thankful to the Carr's who recommended you
as you are clearly one of those people.
The caterer (Franklin
Plaza) who has been in business for years and a
very high profile caterer in our area commented
that they have never seen a light show like
yours. Your setup also looked great with all the
equipment on stage.
Jessica was thrilled!
We never compare ourselves to others but some of
our friends commented that our party will be
hard to compare.
Thanks again and we hope to
see you in the future.
Ed and Robyn Marinstein

Bat Mitzvah Review
October 4th
2008 Review
I don't have too much time to write now, but wanted to
send you a few words and thoughts regarding my experience with Kevin Colangelo this
weekend during my daughter's bat mitzvah. I haven't even had a
chance to speak to him yet to debrief and thank him. So I hope you
don't mind that I am copying him on this email.
First, Kevin Colangelo is a professional through and through. The depth of character and experience that he brings to the occasion are
beyond compare. What is even more surprising given that he has been doing this so many years, is that he made me feel like I was the only bat mitzvah he had ever done.
He listened to me, he was thoughtful
and compassionate and worked so very hard to create a meaningful
experience for me and my family from the very beginning.
For such a
busy person he was very dependable and reliable with his follow up
calls.
It was not necessary to baby sit him and constantly check
up
to see how things were progressing. He promised a top grade product
and he delivered that and more.
I felt privileged to have him be our DJ and master of ceremonies.
I
feel grateful for the thought and effort he brought to the occasion.
I didn't have to worry about even the smallest detail - he thought of
everything.
He was careful and surveyed the site prior to the event
even though he has worked there on many occasions. He did not take
even the smallest risk of spoiling our event.
We worked and planned this occasion for two years.
I only needed a
few phone calls with Kevin for arrangements because he was so
knowledgeable and efficient. His attention to every detail both
technical and emotional allowed me to be free of any concerns
regarding his end of the deal and responsibilities.
He delivered a
first rate experience and all the guests commented on how well the
kids behaved. That was due in large part to Kevin's brilliant
orchestration and thoughtfulness regarding their interests and needs.
We had over 100 kids - same number of adults so I think his
achievement is even more impressive.
He even went so far as to be so thoughtful and sensitive to my very
close friend's child who has social difficulties.
I asked Kevin if
he could allow this child to observe the technical aspects of the
event.
Kevin was receptive to my request and went well beyond the
call of duty. This child (age 11) had the time of his life and his parents and grandparents glowed the entire time - not only did his act of kindness change one life but the after effects will live on as evidenced by the pictures that his mother so proudly sent to me today.
My friend whose daughter had a bat mitzvah several years ago summed
it up best, she said, if she had had ten children she would have worked with Kevin Colangelo ten times.
I am a clinical psychologist by training and I can not emphasize how intuitive and sensitive Kevin was to our emotional needs regarding
this event.
Sincerely,
Lesley Teitelbaum

Dear Kevin:
Just want to thank
you once again for doing such a G R E A T job a
t my daughter Jaydes' Bat Mitzvah.
You know
me, I like things out of the ordinary.
That is why I like working with you.
I tell
you exactly what I want and you work with me to
get it perfect...and perfect it was!!
You are all great. From your dancers all
the way to your "roadies", whom you were
so kind to send outside to help my cousin into
the party. He has MS and his wheelchair
was stuck in his van. You overheard this
and sent your helpers right out to bring him in.
We all appreciated that!
The folks at The
Oak's Retirement home, where I am Activities
Director also appreciated it when you
volunteered your time to play some music from
their era for them. You even played some
of their Jewish music requests for them.
No matter what kind of party I am
having, I want you there. You make my life
easier and fun for everyone to enjoy.
Thanks,
Kevin.
