  • Serves Oakland, RI for additional fees

PK and the Mighty Seven has been celebrating with newly married couples since 2016! We were originally formed as a Jamiroquai tribute band, playing mostly music by the famed UK group along with other songs we enjoyed. Since that time, we've expanded our song list and played many weddings, which we love to do!

Awarded Best of Zola
PKM7 played our wedding reception in June 2022 and it made all of the difference. My husband and I had eloped during the pandemic but wanted to have a proper party to celebrate once it was possible. We basically just wanted to throw a huge party with good food and good vibes and this band absolutely delivered. All the guests were thrilled to hear live music at a wedding again and while most of our guests were on the younger side they played a range of music from Stevie Wonder to Dua Lipa and everyone was definitely entertained. Matt was incredibly easy to work with and very responsive during the planning process. The band learned several new songs for the occasion including a slowed down version of "We Found Love" for our first dance. The band is relatively affordable in terms of bands as well and they are willing to travel. If you are on the fence about a band, just book PK and the Mighty Seven! You won't regret it!

I'm Brian and I design atmospheres through curated music and light for my clients and their guests so that we may all engage in a shared energy. Weddings are better when all the senses are engaged. I do that through combining music and light to work with each other seamlessly. I say no to sh*tty DJ lighting of the past. Your wedding shouldn't look like your middle school dance. Musically I want to present you and your guests with a soundtrack that speaks to you shared history and further connects you in the this significant moment in your life.

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Brian for our September wedding and had a incredible experience. From the start, Brian was friendly, helpful, and fun to collaborate with. It's clear that he is a true professional and carefully works to curate the perfect wedding atmosphere. He was responsive and flexible, especially when we were unsure in some of our choices. Our family and friends could not stop talking about how great the music selection was throughout our reception but especially once the dance floor opened. His equipment was top notch and he was able to accommodate our family farm venue to allow for speakers, microphones, and music in multiple locations throughout the property. I would highly recommend Brian and EventSmith Boston to anyone looking for a wedding DJ in the area.

A dream to enjoy working while experiencing all that life has to offer, specifically life’s greatest moments. What started out as a backyard DJ company has grown into an industry-recognized award-winning Team of entertainment professionals living out that very dream.

Awarded Best of Zola
The Spinner Music team are truly the MVPs of our wedding! They did such a great job from the ceremony to the last song and the encore! These guys are true wedding music/MC professionals. DJ was a pleasure to work with from our first call and listened to what we envisioned for the day of the wedding. They did a great job of reading the crowd and playing a mix of the genres we wanted; we also had a live saxophone player hired through spinner and it was such a hit. The entire evening with them was perfect. We used Niko for our video services and we are dying to see the final product, we already know its going to be amazing! We also used them for our photo booth, and it was such a hit!! Guests were torn between the photo booth and the dance floor!! Only regret was not getting enough pics in the photo booth! We had a couple last minute changes and requests that they were able to handle with ease. Such a fun vendor to work with!

Marshfield, MA
  • Solo performer
  • Starts at $1,000
  • Serves Oakland, RI for additional fees

Sam Chase is a professional singer/songwriter/guitarist based on the South Shore of Massachusetts. A Berklee College of Music grad, Sam has played countless gigs in rooms big and small and the large song list he plays from covers nearly any type of event looking for a solo acoustic vibe. For wedding ceremonies Sam is the perfect choice for those looking for more of a modern singer/songwriter vibe than the traditional wedding march. His cocktail hour sets are performed with precision and complexity while always maintaining a comfortable volume for guests to enjoy themselves and socialize, something his clients all appreciate.

Awarded Best of Zola
I can't say enough great things about Sam. He is 100% professional but is so easy going and amenable to changes (which we were making up until the very last minute). He learned songs for us (including French songs - although we only asked him to play the guitar and not sing in a different language!). He was quick to respond, arrived early and even ran through some songs last minute with one of our friends who was singing. And, to top that off we had a quick change of location for the ceremony (was supposed to rain but ended up being sunny) and he didn't even bat an eye when asked to move his equipment to the exterior garden. Sam also did our cocktail hour, his choice of music was spot on and set the perfect ambiance. He has an obvious passion for his music which comes across as soon as he starts playing - it really made our ceremony that much more personal. We cannot thank Sam enough for his hard work and for his beautiful music! I would recommend him to anyone and everyone!

Having live music definitely added a great vibe to our intimate party(20people), and many guests were happy with his music. Grant was very professional and it was lovely we didn't have to worry at all about music that night. He sang "Can't help falling in love" for our first dance and it was absolutely memorable.

I have been in the business for over 40 years. My passion for music helps me provide my clients the best experience possible. Pricing that is affordable is important to me.

With so many having ceremonies in one location and a reception in an other, I am capable of providing music for both locations. My clients wishes come first, from special moments to a dvd choreographed to your special music projected while you take the dance floor for that special First Dance. These are just some of the service provided.

The "Original" Moonlighters ®

3.7

Washington, DC
  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Oakland, RI for additional fees

Since 1990, The Moonlighters ® have been performing throughout the U.S. as one of the country’s best-loved and most authentic Motown and variety dance bands, covering all your Jazz/Blues/Oldies/Motown/Soul/Disco/Funk/Classic Rock/Pop favorites! Just close your eyes and you’ll swear the original artists are performing. But don’t close them for too long or you won’t be able to enjoy their outstanding dance moves and showmanship.

We're quite saddened by their google review, posted even before we had a chance to actually speak with them to clear up several serious inaccuracies. Our band has HUNDREDS of positive online reviews/satisfied wedding clients. And we'll always accept valid criticism. But this one is mostly false and unfair. As Zola does not provide the option for responding to negative reviews, the following are our comments: 1. Since the bride and groom hadn't hired a wedding planner everything was extremely disorganized as we received their timeline just one week prior to the event, but then they changed it twice more, including two days before. Despite asking for our bandleader's phone #, the groom never reached out to discuss any of these details. In other words, we were given minimal direction in regard to all of the last-minute changes. Even on the wedding day itself, our band was asked to set and reset their equipment multiple times because the bride and groom disagreed with the onsite coordinator's floor plan, moving/resetting the bride and groom table as well! 2. According to what the photographer told us, the bride and groom's limo driver was over 90 min. late, shifting the entire timeline and putting them in a bad mood from the very beginning, as noticed by our bandleader at around 5:15pm when he first introduced himself, prior to the band providing either live or recorded music. 3. Regarding the recorded music, it was only lacking for approx. 45 min. as the band discovered the phone battery issue at approx. 7:45pm, during their first break, quickly rectifying the situation by putting the phone on a charger and then continuing with the recorded music outside from approx. 8-10pm. Furthermore, they made up for it by keeping their system running for an extra 30 min., beyond our contracted time of 11pm. And those comments regarding the afterparty are also totally untrue as somebody from the band was manning the system, until a cousin of the bride or groom demanded that he use her playlist instead, and then she responded angrily when he finally turned off the system at 11:30pm. 4. As for the band's sound system, we do acknowledge some 'hum' issues as there was just one electrical outlet provided for the entire band, resulting in 'dirty power' which couldn't be fully corrected. And we deeply regret mispronouncing the various names as most were very unfamiliar and of Indian origin, despite our lining up the wedding party in advance and writing everything down phonetically. 5. Even though some of the client's emails mentioned solo keys during cocktails, we provided a duo, covering an extra 30 min. of recorded music from 4:30-5pm at no extra charge, as requested. While it's standard practice for a band to take a dinner break during an almost six hr. event, this was clearly-specified in our contract as well. And then we performed continuously from 8:30-10pm, including most of the requested songs that we had prepared well in advance. So their comments about seemingly just 'walking off a bus' are completely false and misleading. In other words, our musicians went 'above and beyond' in spite of some very challenging circumstances. 6. Fortunately, we did receive a 'happy reaction' with a crowded dance floor and TONS of compliments from the guests, some requesting pictures w/the band too, while even the bride and groom were singing along and dancing non-stop, which we were VERY happy to see, making their negative review even more surprising though!

I’m a planner who worked with Madison and her team of exceptional musicians on a wedding at the iconic Rainbow Room. They were easy to communicate with and made themselves available to work through and trouble shoot any songs or moments that were critical to our timeline.

I still get compliments for how good my wedding DJ was. I host events and parties often, I already know who to have on speed dial. They know how to set the mood and direct it throughout an event. I asked some vague requests, like "no typical white people wedding music" (e.g., Don't Stop Believin', etc.) and had drastically different genres for dinner and party portions. THEY UNDERSTOOD THE ASSIGNMENT and beyond. There were actually several songs I wish I knew because I loved them so much but never heard them before, yet they were really catchy and quite the vibe.

Words can’t express how much we loved working with Ana & Jimmy and the entire Amp DJ Band Hybrid. My husband really wanted a band while I really wanted a DJ, Amp DJ band was the perfect mix. We found Ana & Jimmy immediately and were able to schedule a meeting with them the next day. We knew right away that they were right for us. They were extremely attentive and outgoing from the start. They answered all out of questions and addressed concerns we had. We booked them immediately because we didn’t want to miss out on the opportunity to work with them. We met with them several times through our 6 month planning process. They responded immediately to any questions that popped up along the way and even allowed us to make a last minute change the night before. They well exceeded our musical playlist, taking the songs we requested and tailoring the rest of the music to fit the vibe. There was a perfect mix of live songs and an awesome dj set. The amount of compliments my husband & I received about the band far exceeded anything we expected. All of our guests LOVED them (of course as did we). So many people reached out that night or the next day to say how impressed they were with Ana, Jimmy & the whole band. We also had an acoustic guitar player at our cocktail hour which was amazing. If you’re debating getting a band for your wedding because your heart is set on a DJ, seriously look no further than Amp DJ Band hybrid. You will not be disappointed. I want to have another event just to work with them again!

"I am an eclectic wedding violinist based in the Worcester-Boston area of Massachusetts. I perform for wedding ceremonies, cocktail hours, dinner receptions, first dances, and dance receptions. I enjoy learning my clients' favorite songs so that their wedding day feels extra special. I am able to play a variety of different music genres (top 100 hits, music from Bridgerton, hip hop, R&B, EDM, rock, big band, & classical) and can perform on my electric violin with your DJ for your reception. I am able to provide my own Bose sound system which can be battery-operated for outdoor areas."

Kathryn is my GO TO live musician for all of my couples. She's a super talented violinist and an absolute dream to work with. So accomodating, professional, organized, and kind. It's so much fun to see the guests enjoy her music - especially when she plays more modern music that people aren't typically used to hearing on the violin. She's the perfect fit for a sweet and romantic ceremony followed by a lively and upbeat cocktail hour. She's even played full receptions at some of my events! I highly recommend working with Kathryn!

  • Serves Oakland, RI for additional fees

Music is a lifeblood of life's journey: a universal language that invokes emotion and creates memories; and when thoughtfully and passionately curated into a soundtrack, custom-tailored to specifications, preferences and tastes, the outcome is truly magical, noteworthy, and filled with joy, sentiment, and connection. For over 30 years, DJ Denise LaCarubba | Vibeology IA has aligned with clients to create and present soundtracks for weddings, fashion shows, fundraisers, corporate, international and private events.

Denise is amazing! During our DJ search for our wedding, my (now) husband and I came across Denise very early in our search. And I’m so happy that we did! Faced with the fact that we needed to find someone who would get (and keep) both of our dance-happy families on the dance floor, it was daunting to find the perfect fit for us and for the celebration to follow. We had to rely heavily on reviews to narrow down our search…but that only gets you so far when you want to feel the energy. In a leap of faith, we reached out to Denise. After that first meeting, we never looked back! It was easy to just spend time talking to Denise. She was our hype-lady from day one, working with our schedules from planning to the meticulous execution of the wedding day. She was patient with our indecisiveness on which instrumental version of our procession song we wanted (weeks of samples, back and forth, and for us to ultimately pick the first version she shared). As a planner, I very much appreciated Denise’s attention to detail. She combed through every detail with us well beforehand, so that she didn’t have any questions the day of the wedding. I cannot recommend this Lady DJ enough! She helped make our day so special and effortlessly kept people on the dance floor until the lights came on.

I think beauty is important. Beauty is what inspires us to do something higher than our everyday. A wedding day should be full of beauty. Whether that means beautiful sounds or a beautiful place setting. In my opinion, the two are inextricably linked. Beauty is what I strive to create for each bride and groom.

Danielle and Her team were amazing!! We hired them for our Wedding in August 2023 in Newport RI and they were outstanding!! We had a Trio for Our ceremony outdoors, a Jazz Duo for our Cocktail hour and then we had a DJ with the fusion options and had an Electric Violinist and Electric Guitarists Play!!

Our song list spans a wide range of genres and eras, so you can pick the tunes that mean the most to you.

First of all: during our reception, countless people came up and asked where we had found this band; they were that good!! This band kept our friends and family of all generations on the dancefloor. Tasteful Tea worked with us to add specific instruments that we wanted for our favorite music genres and had a great song list to look at for reference. They knew how to read a room and keep the party going (without cheesy get-on-the-dancefloor songs). So kind and really made our reception the blast that it was!

There is an art to entertaining. To create a memorable wedding celebration, you need quality entertainment. Most events I do start with some common elements: guests, music and the client’s desire for the event to be successful. It’s the inspiration in the execution and preparation before the event that distinguishes me from the ordinary. While others may do events by number, I make each event an original, a unique reflection of my client…you! I take inspiration from your dreams and desires. I do not ask you to follow someone else’s format because I will thrive in yours.

Butch was simply phenomenal! He was able to keep our small wedding so high energy it felt like we had a room full of a hundred people! He was so flexible with us as we had so many changes throughout the planning process. He was willing to work with us regardless of what our contract stated, he just wanted us to have the best wedding we could. He was so helpful in planning meetings and his tool was easy and fun for us to use! We asked him last minute to do all the ceremony music and he was even willing to jump in the day of to marry us when we thought we were without an officiant. All of our guests raved about him! We can't say enough about Butch except to HIRE HIM! :)

Luke’s originally started as a Record Store by the name Luke’s Record Exchange, started by Luke T Renchan. As years progressed, Luke T decided to start a Disc Jockey Company in 1983. This was an instant success. Before long, Luke T had eight employees doing events for him. Many years passed and his son Luke B showed an interest in what his father was doing. At the age of 9, Luke B would accompany his father and observing every move he made. Gradually he was allowed to make steps till he was able to do his own events.

We had a fantastic experience working with Luke Renchan Entertainment for our wedding. They are incredibly professional and experienced - they made the planning process very smooth. Matt Rapoza was our DJ and he was an absolute pleasure! He kept the evening moving, was organized, friendly, upbeat, and had guests on the dance floor the entire time. He followed our music selections and also put his own spin on it, had amazing transitions, and overall was everything we could have asked for in a DJ. Our guests were raving about him. 10/10 would recommend Matt as well as the entire company.

  • Starts at $1,450

We are a results oriented company with a proven track record. It's never about us and always about you. Performance and listening to your vision is always prioritized over compensation. Message us today for a straight shooter approach to great wedding entertainment.

Words can't quite capture how excellent Ra-Mu and the Crew were for our wedding. We came across their instagram page and were really impressed with clips we saw of other weddings and receptions. What you see online isn't always what you get when you actually communicate with a vendor, but Ra-Mu is 100% the real deal. What you see online is what you get in person, and then some. Aside from offering extremely fair and transparent pricing, Ra-Mu offered a level of customer service that seems pretty rare. We had phone and in-person conversations to give Ra-Mu an understanding of us as a couple and what we envisioned for our special day. Our wedding was going to be a mix of cultures (from Irish to Caribbean, and everything in between) and we had very broad tastes in music. Throughout the process, Ra-Mu showed great intuition and quickly grasped the musical tone we wanted. He will play the music you want, but his judgement based on ideas you give him is consistently on point. We didn't have a song picked out for cutting our cake, and he picked one that tied so perfectly to the our first dance and parent dance song selections. Ra-Mu created an atmosphere of fun from the start of our ceremony straight through to the last song of the reception. While we had some genres and songs we did (and did not) want to hear, we gave Ra-Mu full reign to read the room when it came to music. Our dance floor was packed and lively the entire evening. There were unexpected party props, crowd participation and an overall sense of festive love woven throughout the evening. Ra-Mu was a hype man, a Disc Jockey, and facilitator of fun, and genuinely a great person to work with. Ra-Mu truly takes pride in giving you the best experience possible. On the big day, Ra-Mu and the Crew also provided wireless uplighting (and really nice touch and great way to shift the mood of the evening with lighting changes) and a mirror photo booth. There were two attendants helping with the photo booth who were equally as pleasant and helpful throughout the night. Hiring Ra-Mu and the Crew for our wedding was one of the easiest and best decisions we made. 10/10 would recommend! We wish we had another event coming up where we could hire him!

We had an outdoor wedding on the water. We knew the setting was perfect but maybe not ideal for our vendors. Amy eased my mind quickly with my concerns about sound and setup. She knew the area well from previous events so was confident that everything was going to go smoothly. She helped pick out appropriate songs for the setting. During the beginning of the ceremony, they both quickly changed gears when the timing of the parents walking in was not queued (by accident). It was a beautiful touch to have violins playing during the ceremony and reception. Multiple family members commented on how lovely they sounded. I would absolutely recommend Classy Strings and would hire them back for my next event.

Sheila was always prompt, warm, and professional, answering our occasional emails over the past 2 years, even in a pandemic! Our DJ, Craig, was the absolute man! We gave him a list of 10 very different must play songs and he delivered! He had the dance floor crowded the whole night and did a wonderful job working with us to choose a play list that would appeal to our entire wedding guest list.

Elegant Music Group

4.3

Montclair, NJ
  • DJ
  • Serves Oakland, RI for additional fees

Elegant Music Group is a full-scale entertainment company offering Bands, DJs, Lighting, Photo Booths, and Event Production. EMG has been providing the highest level of service in event entertainment for over 30 years, and our experience has taught us to prioritize two things above all else: Event Talent + Customer Service. We pride ourselves on creating spectacular and immersive experiences.

We had the pleasure of working with EMG and could not be more happier with our decision! From start to finish, this company is incredibly professional, knows exactly what they're doing, and is a pleasure to work with. We had reached out for a quote because we loved the idea of a band/dj hybrid option for our wedding which EMG has and was contacted by Michael Saulpaugh who went over all the different offerings for what we wanted to do, enhancements options, worked with us on our budget, made us feel comfortable about having worked with our venue in Jersey City, etc... We did shop around other local companies but the way EMG personalizes your wedding experience through an easy-to-use phone app questionnaire and from the way they care and were extremely knowledgeable with everything, it made it so easy to decide to book with them. We had a great feeling after our first conversation that made us know right away we were going to be in good hands. After booking, we were able to stay in touch about any questions we had, set-up a payment plan which accepted credit cards which was a big plus for us, and check-in before our wedding to finalize everything. The band we booked with Cityscape The Park Avenue Horns who were phenomenal! All our guests have been raving since about how much fun they had and how the band and DJ were awesome. Everyone was on the dance floor the entire night. We also had a photobooth, uplighting, a digital seating chart, an audio guestbook which was really fun, and had booked individual musicians for our ceremony and cocktail hour. It truly was a perfect and magical night and we could not be more thankful for Michael, EMG, and Cityscape The Park Avenue Horns. I would 1000% book them in the future for any events and HIGHLY recommend going through EMG for your entertainment needs. If you want professionals who care and are going to make you feel comfortable from start to finish, this is a no-brainer. Thank you EMG!!!

We can't say enough about how amazing Carte Blanche was at our event. Not only are they incredible musicians, but Kate the bandleader made everything so smooth from the planning process. She was very thorough and made sure everything went off without a hitch. They learned a few special songs for our ceremony and reception and put their own special touch on them to make it really special for us. They looked so glamorous and our friends and family are still telling us how unique they were, and couldn't believe how many languages the singer can sing in! This band is truly special and will elevate your wedding. Thank you Carte Blanche for an unforgettable night!
