What People Say

We could tell you why you should use D.E.G but we thought it would be better to let our customers tell you instead.

Mona Golub
Producing Artistic Director / Music Haven Global Concert Series

Music Haven Global Concert Series

Given their absolute professionalism, audio-technical expertise, superior attention to detail and exceptionally adventurous spirit, DEG has proven to be an ideal production partner to our award-winning global concert series. The fact that Stan Denis and his team are such a pleasure to work with, is frosting on the cake!

The Denis Entertainment Group is the most professional, hands on, and humble live sound company out there.  They are always learning, growing, and upgrading to the newest and best technology and have an attention to detail that is one of a kind.  You can tell that they truly love what they do and have an incredible knowledge of what it takes to provide a world class and complete live show experience from the venue, to the artist, to the audience. You only need a minute to talk with Stan Denis to know how much passion he has for what he does.  As an artist who performs over 200 shows a year across the country, my experiences with DEG have always been hands down the best. I can’t recommend them enough.

Robert Frazza
Director of Programming & Production / Ashokan Talent Group / Bearsville Theater

Bearsville Theater, Woodstock, NY

I first met Stan Denis and crew at Denis Entertainment Group when they were hired to provide the sound system for a “Security Project” show in the Albany NY area that I was mixing. I was immediately impressed with the work ethic and ease of personalities of he and his crew. Having experienced that, I contacted Stan to provide a system for a later “Orleans” gig when we were back in the area. It was at this show that he introduced me to the new Danley systems he was providing. I was so impressed that when it came time to install a new system at the Bearsville Theater in Woodstock, NY. My 1st call was to Stan!

Jason Lecuyer
Director / Special Events for Schenectady County

Jason Lecuyer

I have been working with DEG for over four years now. We have done more than two dozen events together in the last four years ranging from small stage setups to large scale events like Schenectady County Summer Night featuring bands like The Gin Blossoms, Spin Doctors and Blues Traveler. As the Special Events Director it is important for me to surround myself with a team of partners who share my vision for putting together high quality events no matter what the size. Stan far exceeds my expectations on every event we do. Our partnership is like a relationship and the more shows we do together, the more we both understand how we can help each other. Stan’s ability to adjust and think on the fly is one of the best attributes he has. He understands that things don’t always go as planned and makes himself flexible during events to adjust to the event’s needs. There is not a better company or person to work with then Stan and DEG.

I've been dealing with Stan Denis and the staff at the Denis Entertainment Group for quite some time now. Fortunately in our business the great companies typically rise to the top. Every time I’m looking to do something related to live sound and audio and lighting, DEG’s name repeatedly comes up. From the first job we did together I was blown away. Not just with what DEG was doing for me, but also Stan’s knowledge, ability and his willingness to dive in and get the job not just done, but done to perfection, whether it be big or small, but also his willingness to solve problems and when needed recommend other top notch people. Stan Denis has accumulated so many contacts in this industry and he's always happy to share who and what he knows. Most recently he has installed a lighting system in the studio I run in Woodstock, NY called Dreamland. You can see some of what he's done on here on the DEG company website. I highly endorse Stan and the staff at Denis Entertainment!

Doing a job and doing it right are very rarely seen together. Stan Denis and the Denis Entertainment Group never do a job any other way. In a business which breeds dubious deals and dealers, these guys have made a name based upon their integrity, work ethic, professionalism and devotion to excellence. Whether it is taking care of the artist’s, promoter’s or audience’s needs, DEG always gets the job done. Having worked closely with Stan and his team for the past three years, it has been a privilege to see such “old school” work ethic applied to the ever changing demands of high-profile sound support. DEG boasts more than work habits, though. They provide the finest gear and employ the best techniques for getting your show to sound spectacular. Stan is a consummate professional who continually pushes the boundaries of his own knowledge and expertise to stay ahead of the pack. The Denis Entertainment Group gets it done like no one else will. The best part is they make all those around them feel like they are part of something special, because they are.

I have worked with Denis Entertainment Group several times and in a few different capacities. They have done sound for my band Sly Fox and the Hustlers and I have hired them as FOH at a few different large venues that I work with as a talent buyer and in both situations I have been extremely pleased with the results. Stan Denis has a great ear and the extensive technical knowledge to get the job done right, but he also gives off a positive vibe vs. the stereotypical "angry sound man". He let's you know he is there to help and work with you to get the best possible results for the crowd and band alike. Stan is a total professional in every way and I look forward to working with him more in the future, I would recommend him for any gig big or small!

Carl Blackwood
General Manager/Sound Engineer / The Linda Theater. Member of Bendt

Carl Blackwood

Stan and his crew have some of the strongest work ethic around. Not only that but his live mixes have always conveyed what the band actually sounds like. He's gone so far as to walk up to my amp and make sure that what's coming out of his PA is the same as whats coming out of my amp: helping me get the sound right at the source and understanding that we spend our whole careers trying to create a specific sound. To add to that, I am also an audio engineer and the best monitor mixes in any concert so far that I've played have come from Stan and his crew. Any musician knows how important hearing yourself is. Denis Entertainment do the job right without hassle and a great attention to detail.

Laura Ehrich
Executive Director / Congregation Gates of Heaven

Congregation Gates of Heaven

As a congregation known for its music, having the best possible sound at a reasonable cost is critical. Our building has challenging acoustics and we have many different uses for our sound system. Working with Stan Denis for the past couple of years has been a pleasure. He has done everything from setting us up for two live musical performances (including creating high-quality live recordings), to wiring our sanctuary for optimal sound for all our various needs. We needed maximum flexibility and ease of use, and Stan delivered, working with our existing system and making sensible upgrades to accomplish a finished product that exceeds our expectations and which delivers the quality and flexibility we require at a reasonable cost.

The Turbans

As an international touring band life can be tough on the road. But the warmth of personality, care for the sound and professionalism shown by Stan, Talia the whole Denis Entertainment crew made us feel at home. Everything went so smoothly and that is due to the great team who from the moment we arrived until the moment we left, made sure we were looked after. The quality of sound on stage was unparalleled and that is what we expected to find when we came to tour the USA but only found it in Schenectady. The Turbans

Korean Presbyterian Church of Albany

The Denis Entertainment Group was a lifesaver for our church when we decided to upgrade our sound system, video and lighting.  I was given the task of finding a company to help us select the proper equipment and install it. I contacted a bunch of companies but none of them fit our needs. Then someone told us about DEG. Stan Denis and his crew were able to deliver amazing equipment and great service and get us exactly what we needed. We contacted DEG and gave them very short notice yet amazingly that they were able to meet our deadline. In addition Stan figured out a way to do the entire installation without interrupting any of the church's activities. After the installation was complete Stan attended our services to make sure the sound and lighting was perfect. He trained our entire production team and even taught them various advanced mixing techniques. There were a couple times where our production team made some mistakes and Stan took our early Sunday morning calls and proceeded to diagnose and remedy the problem right then. One time we called him and he came to the church just 20 minutes later to show our team where they had made a mistake and how to fix it. The Denis Entertainment Group is the perfect company for churches to use if they want great sound, lighting, video and service. We can not recommend DEG enough.

Stan Denis and the Denis Entertainment Group are the epitome of professionalism. Stan's team works hard to not just get the job done but to get it done to the highest possible standards. Creating an impactful event requires cooperation, and a shared vision and DEG is careful to embrace and execute that vision. There's no one-size-fits-all approach here. Attention to detail, and an ability to hustle while all the time keeping one's cool makes for a productive, artistically satisfying experience. I can't wait for my next opportunity to work with Stan. -always a good time

Working with Stan Denis provides a level of comfort for an artist that is often hard to find in the production world. Stan is a hard-working and extremely knowledgable guy who is always prepared to help artists and events achieve their goals. We've been fortunate enough to learn something new every time we work together so we always leave better & more knowledgable than we arrived. From club stages to festival main stages, DEG consistently provides us the best sound and some really killer live recordings.

Kip Fink
Owner / Pauly's Hotel

Pauly's Hotel Night Club

As the new owner of Paulys Hotel, it was critical to upgrade the current sound system for live music at Pauly's. After contacting multiple companies , Denis Entertainment Group stood out far above the rest.  Stan Denis performed an evaluation of our current sound and lighting system and then designed a sound system that elevates the quality of sound and lighting at Pauly's that its never had.  Stans knowledge of balancing and adjusting sound is astonishing. His attention to detail is superlative. Stan provided a step by step explanation and professional demeanor throughout the process. Stan exceeded our expectations at a reasonable cost. I highly recommend The Denis Entertainment Group.

Shane Spillinger
Concert Promoter / Capital Region

Shane Spillinger

I have worked with Stan Denis many times. He is very professional. His attention to detail is unmatched in the market. I have worked with a lot of sound men who are irritable or not humble enough to make the bands feel comfortable. Stan is the opposite. He always goes above and beyond to insure the bands are happy and the show goes very well. I highly suggest his services for all kinds of shows. I’ve worked with Stan at the club level and on major, large street festivals. In both areas Stan excels at what he does.

We have had the opportunity to work with Stan Denis of Denis Entertainment Group for a few years in a row at our Praise in The Park Event at Freedom Park Scotia.  Stan is extremely professional and has excellent knowledge and skill with sound and lighting production. He truly understands the needs of a band as well as vocalists for every type of musical style he produces. He is extremely flexible and takes our thoughts into great consideration then puts them into action for us. He has great foresight and continues to improve the overall experience we have with each event we hire him for.  One of Stan's highest priorities is providing quality gear and he is always making improvements with his audio and lighting equipment. He is prompt, the stage set up and take down is impeccable and his mixing capability is top notch. Stan always has a positive attitude and is very enjoyable to work with. We highly recommend Stan and DEG for your next event if you are considering. Looking forward to DEG being a part of our next Praise in The Park event in 2018.  We cannot thank Stan enough for all he does to make our event as great as it can be.

Lark Hall is a brand new Venue located in Albany, NY that was just completed. DEG designed and installed the sound and video systems and engineered the rigging for the stage lighting. This was a very rewarding project that breathed new life into this beautiful 100 year old venue. There are challenges with every install. At Lark Hall the goal was to make the sound system blend in as much as possible to preserve the historic feel of the venue.

Dreamland Studios

Albany, NY

DEG-Denis-Entertainment-Group-Dreamland-Studios-Albany-New-York-Inside

We just finished updating the lighting at the iconic Dreamland Recording Studio just outside of Woodstock, NY. The goal was to be able to create various moods and themes with what had to be a completely silent light system. Noise from traditional stage lighting would simply not do in this world class recording studio. DEG sources fanless stage lighting that was strategically hung to have maximum impact and versatility for Recording artist and a new TV series that will begin filming in this year.
