Our Story

About Us

Welcome to Top Hat Entertainment, where every celebration gets its perfect soundtrack! Based in South Burlington, Vermont, we’ve been igniting joy and bringing people together since 1996.

Back then, we set out with one goal: to create an entertainment company that truly listens, adapts, and delivers exactly what you imagine. Over the years, we’ve grown, not just in experience, but in heart.

We're all about

Events That Feel Like You

We believe every event deserves to feel unique. Whether it’s a wedding, a corporate party, a fundraiser, or a private gathering, we offer:

  • Expert DJs who mix your favorite tracks and keep the dance floor alive

  • Photo booths (including Magic Mirror!) for those spontaneous moments

  • Trivia nights, karaoke fun, inflatables, obstacle courses, and more

  • Custom lighting and staging designed to match your vibe

We’re totally into collaboration: we talk (in person, on Zoom, Facetime, or phone) until we know your vision inside out — and then we bring it to life.

Community Service

At Top Hat Entertainment, we take our community involvement very seriously. We’ve DJed events for Vermont Special Olympics (including the Penguin Plunge), Camp Ta Kum Ta since the year 2000, and have helped out the Make a Wish Foundation since the mid-1990s. We’ve helped with fundraisers for the American Cancer Society, The Boys and Girls Club of Burlington, and the King Street Youth Center. In addition to our charitable work, we sponsor local sporting leagues, such as the Green Mountain Baseball League, as well as South Burlington and Grand Isle Little Leagues. We are also proud to support professional organizations, including Vermont Vows and the Vermont Association of Wedding Professionals.
