Justin did such an INCREDIBLE job at the wedding! A DJ can truly make or break an event, and he absolutely nailed it! He perfected everything we asked for, and he managed to keep everyone on the floor ALL NIGHT LONG! Everyone been raving about how amazing he was, and I can’t express how much we appreciated having him! We were kinda on the last minute side of contracting with him due to our prior DJ’s medical situation, but it truthfully was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding to have him there as our DJ.

Wow wow, the best experience we could've asked for. First off The Hook Club was absolutely awesome to communicate with and coordinate with. They were super responsive and professional but at the same time so laid back, we trusted them completely with their vision. They were great through the pandemic and made sure we all were on the same page. The musicians are so talented, we had live music for the ceremony and cocktail hour, right before my ceremony started they played a beautiful song I had requested. The cocktail hour was beautiful, the music was at a perfect volume where we all could hear and enjoy them but people could carry on in conversation. The reception was off the charts, everyone wouldn't stop talking about how awesome they were with the music choices. Ash the DJ was absolutely on point, read the room and the talented live musicians integrated with the DJ was perfect, we had never seen anything like it but it was better than we even imagined. Big thanks to Dan who checked in all the time and even followed up after the big day. This group was one of a kind, thank you all so much.

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!

  • 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!

We hired Zeke for our wedding and couldn't be happier with the service we received. Zeke and Sheila were very responsive as we worked with them before the wedding. For our first dances, we had three longer songs. Zeke did a great job cutting them down to a good length for a wedding.. Several of our guests came up to us during the wedding and said how good the music was. Would definitely hire Zeke again.

Boston, MA
  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $6,000
  • Serves Portland, ME

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!

The Free Downloads played at our wedding on Block Island on 08/07/21 and they were incredible! Their talent & energy truly made our wedding reception unforgettable! We had to postpone our wedding due to the pandemic, but throughout it all the band was so flexible and accommodating. Planning a wedding on an island comes with additional challenges, but they were easy to work with in securing their accommodations and ferry reservations (i.e. they did it all). George was professional, responsive and supportive. After the wedding, they even DJ’d music at the after party and kept the energy pumping into the night. Our family & friends are still raving about how fantastic the band was - 100% recommend!

HOT MESS BAND

Boston, MA
  • Band or Ensemble
  • Serves Portland, ME

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!
