Working with Justin could not have been easier or more enjoyable. He is unbelievable personable and passionate about his job as an event DJ. My husband and I hired him for our wedding in 2022 and he was punctual to a T, organized, excited, and professional. I can’t recommended him enough. My husband is a DJ himself—more on the producer side—and made a Jamaican dance hall mix which Justin was able to download and play during our reception. From ceremony to reception, there wasn’t an issue and Justin was there every step of the way to guide us as we went through the night.

Brick park was AMAZING! There were so many compliments on their sound and the vibe they brought even during the spoken announcements. They played all the songs we wanted at the perfect times and filled the time in between with even more perfect song selections. Julian was so easy to work with and made the day go by smoothly for our other vendors, he even worked with our officiant to do transitional music during the ceremony. He worked so hard with us trying to get a band to fit with the space we had, but ultimately we went with the duet DJ option which is a very cool alternative that we were so happy was available. Julian has a great voice and killed it on the guitar. Unfortunately Christienne was sick on our wedding day but the fill in female vocalist was amazing too. I would HIGHLY recommend Brick Park for any type of event and we will be following them around the Boston area for live music in the future.

My friend hired and coordinated with Luis from lionizing entertainment as a DJ for our engagement party in July. It was our first time meeting him at the party and from the beginning he was professional and personable. He made sure we had the type of music we wanted and kept people dancing. We were so happy with his services so we decided to hire him to DJ our wedding this past weekend as well. We originally had a summer wedding planned and decided to move it up sooner. Luis was so flexible and understanding when we reached out about the date change and we were still able to work with him for our new date. Throughout the planning process Luis was super responsive whenever we needed anything and he would check in to make sure we didn’t have any questions and he was more than prepared for our big day. He kept the night running smoothly despite the changes we made to the schedule of events at the last minute. Throughout the night he checked in with us and advocated for everything we needed. Our other vendors came up to us and said how much they loved working with Luis and how easy it was to get along with him. We decided to add a photo booth at the last minute and we are so glad we did because all of our guests were obsessed! Everyone used it all night and we got to keep the high quality photos after. A ton of guests reached out after the fact to say how impressed they were with the Photo Booth and the quality of pictures they received. The Photo Booth was so much of a hit we are renting it for our baby shower coming up in the spring as well. Luis has been so much fun to work with and we are looking forward to work with him for all of our future events - we would recommend Lionizing Entertainment to anyone!

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.

All That Events DJ-Up Lighting-Photo Booth

5.0

Boston, MA
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,999
  • Serves Portland, ME

Zeke and Sheila have worked extremely hard to maintain their high quality and attention to customer service. In order to maintain their excellent rapport with customers, the Aleman family has hand picked the best talent in each region to work for their exclusive boutique company. Keeping a small staff who can identify with their clients and provide the next level in concierge style service, has been met with a great response from both clients and the event industry and has garnished them many industry and client awards!

DJ Craig provided us with the most memorable night of our life! We have not stopped receiving compliments from our wedding 2 weeks ago and a lot of that is owed to DJ Craig and All That Events. From the beginning, Sheila and her team were the most helpful vendor we dealt with during our whole wedding planning process. She continued to follow up with us and provided us with valuable information on topics we just wouldn't have thought of. The combined services also played a big factor in our decision to choose All That Events as we were able to bundle services we needed. Working directly with DJ Craig was very enjoyable. He took to time to go through our day of schedule multiple times before the event. He provided us with feedback and recommendations that we trusted as he is an experienced DJ and it worked out perfectly. Our wedding was a multi-cultural event so we wanted to have many different genres of music to cater to all of our guests and Craig did so seamlessly. He was able to find and download all the international songs we requested with no problem and blend those in with the other styles of music we wanted played. At one point there was a sequence of songs played that really had the dance floor going and I wanted a specific song to be played next. I went up to DJ Craig to request and he already had it on deck! It was like he read my mind. I whole-heartedly recommend All That Events for your wedding. The service was top not from beginning to end. They met our needs and provided us with everything we wanted out of our special day.

The Free Downloads are the ultimate multi-generational cover band and perfect choice to provide live music at your next event. Their always growing song list encompasses over 60 years of popular music. Established in 2009, The Free Downloads have performed hundreds of private events including weddings, corporate functions, birthday parties, and bar mitzvahs. During that time the band has earned a reputation as one of the most professional and talented bands in the New England area, with a deep commitment to doing whatever it takes to exceed expectations! If you need a band that will keep your guests dancing and having fun, look no further!

Wish I could give more than 5 stars! The Free Downloads played at our wedding on Nantucket in June 2021. Between helping us find a new date when we postponed from 2020 to being communicative about ferry/hotel reservations, I cannot speak highly enough of George. He was so great to work with throughout the entire process. The band was truly amazing and gave us the party of a lifetime. They play to the crowd and are SO talented. After a year and a half with no live music, the band (and guests) were so energetic and happy to be back on a stage and dancefloor. Music and dancing were very important to us - hiring The Free Downloads was one of the best decisions we made during wedding planning!!

Boston, MA
  • Band or Ensemble

Dynamic, Infectious, Electric and EXPLOSIVE!!  Voted Best Wedding Band by South Shore Home & Lifestyle Magazine, Best of Boston by Boston Magazine and Best Wedding Band by the Boston A-List 2 years running, HOT MESS IS Boston’s Favorite Cover Band, and for good reason! A seasoned 9pc. ensemble boasting 5 lead vocalists, Hot Mess specializes in Pop, Rock, Soul, Funk, R&B, Top 40 and all of your favorite music from the 60’s to current hits.

If you want an absolutely SPECTACULAR wedding band, look no further. Hot Mess was truly the best decision we made for our wedding. Jason, Gail, and the entire Hot Mess team was wonderful to work with throughout the entire process. They were super accommodating, kind, helpful, and they had endless patience when working with a very distracted bride. :) During the wedding itself, they had all 130 people on the dance floor from start to finish, and everyone had an incredible time. They truly went above and beyond to make our day extra special, such as learning a song in Portuguese and changing into pink outfits halfway through the night. It has been almost 6 months since our wedding, and our guests still can't stop talking about our amazing wedding band! I truly can't recommend Hot Mess enough; they are the whole package and so so much more!! THANK YOU to Hot Mess for making our wedding day the absolute best.

Cuarteto Guataca

5.0

New York, NY
  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Portland, ME for additional fees

Bassist and bandleader Josh Levine got his start in the professional music business busking in SoHo with The Flying Neutrinos in ’93, so when NYC shut down in Spring of 2020, he capitalized on his experience as a street performer and began to play regularly in the parks of NYC with percussionist and sonero, Jainardo Batista, renowned flutist Itai Kriss making his debut on Cuban trés guitar, and María Raquel on vocals and minor percussion. Before long, the quartet had generated some buzz, several venues hired them to play outdoors and pianist Gabriel Chakarji and Grammy winning flutist and vocalist Jeremy Bosch became staples of the group.

I have used Cuarteto Guataca both personally (birthdays, family events) and professionally as a wedding/ event florist and event planner for YEARS. Every time they manage to get everyone on their feet. They are super professional always and extremely easy to work with. Hands down, Josh and his band will always be my first choice for latin entertainment (any entertainment for that matter)!!

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!
