If there was an option to select 6 stars I would! Michael was far and away the best vendor we had at our wedding in terms of quality and value. He did a phenomenal job on every component of our wedding from music, to lighting, to providing photos and videos with a number of go pros. If you’re debating using a different DJ for your event you should stop because there is literally no way they can be better than M.R.K.E!

Your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life. With all that pressure, it’s no wonder couples can start to feel stressed.

Our "Mix & Match" packages offer different combinations of live music, photo booth, and DJ services. With such a wide variety of talented entertainers at our fingertips, it's our pleasure to provide you with exactly what you're looking for.

Both my wife and I were genuinely intimidated by picking the right music and DJ for our wedding. While we were excited to find the right person, we weren't so jazzed about the process! Cassandra made it super easy to look through possible DJs and options, was helpful and communicative throughout the entire process, and helped make this piece of the wedding puzzle way less of a 'thing' than we thought it would be. Her recommendation for reception DJ and violinist at our ceremony were excellent, and the music made our day into the best day we both have ever had :) I can't recommend Bright Set highly enough!

I’m Jay and I'm the owner of La Bella and The Beat. I spend my weekends entertaining, celebrating and partying with some of the best people I’ve ever met. Music has always been a passion of mine--from my boombox days in 1st grade, playing for whoever would listen from my neighborhood driveway, to when my DJing side hustle of 13 years became my full-time career in 2018. I’m a versatile mobile DJ serving New Hampshire, Maine, and Massachusetts (or really anywhere looking for a party). For the past decade, I’ve been rocking events all across New England. No my adventures even take the parties abroad.

Jay made our dream wedding come to life! He was truly amazing to partner with! From our initial interaction with Jay all the way up to the wedding day and follow-up after, he listened to us, communicated with us, and supported us. He was so helpful during the planning process, especially when we had questions or needed advice. He created such incredible energy during the ceremony and reception! All of our guests raved about the music. He did an incredible job reading the crowd while still keeping with the vibe he knew we wanted. When we first found Jay we thought it was too good to be true - we were wrong! He's a professional in every sense and we couldn't have asked for a better partner. Hire him, or at the very least talk to him. Once you do, you'll hire him too!

First of all, his set up looked modern and professional, and seamlessly fit into our decor. I also appreciated the high end lighting options he brought in for us. Most importantly, he completely nailed the music and the vibe! After a few brief calls and an easy questionnaire Brian knew *exactly* what to play for our crowd and kept the party going with hit after hit! His selections made for an after party we will never forget - my husband and I and our guests had SO MUCH FUN. I cannot imagine a better DJ in Boston - hire Brian, you won't regret it!!

After the wedding, we were able to listen back to the recordings, make a couple of minor edits, and then they put all of the recordings on a custom vinyl for us! The vinyl has a custom sticker with our names and wedding date and location. It is the absolute best "guestbook" we could have asked for.

Gerry recently was the DJ for our wedding. We planned out everything in 2 months and I wasn't sure that when we started, if this event I was planning was even going to resemble a wedding. I had an extremely tight budget and was planning a September wedding in Vermont...my hopes and expectations were not high. Luckily early on in the process I stumbled onto Gerry on Zola and reached out thinking it was too good to be true. He was quick to respond to the initial inquiry and we set up a time to chat on the phone about possibilities. We ended up spending over an hour on the phone that night just talking about how it didn't matter that I was having such a small event-the sky was the limit. Go ahead and have a single conversation with him and his passion will sell itself. He makes it all look almost too easy. Not only was he extremely flexible-he traveled well out of his way to make this happen for us because without him, we would not have had a DJ for our wedding. The day of the wedding, he kept everything running like a well oiled machine. He kept our guests involved, handled our rowdier guests with grace and even let one of my 4 year olds sing everyone a song during dinner which made him feel so special. Everyone loved Gerry and I promise you will too. Do yourself a favor and book Your Way DJ for your next special event-you wont get a chance to regret it.

Kelton from Marquee Artists is awesome - he killed it dj-ing for the clients, the dance floor was non-stop going nuts the whole time! His demeanor is super low-key and easy going, and he was very easy to work with, which means a lot in this field. Weddings have lots of moving parts and can be chaotic, but having vendors that are kind and willing to work as a team makes the day go a whole lot smoother. The couple had lots of requests for songs in completely different genres, but he managed to keep the party going with no awkward pauses and seamless transitions. I highly recommend hiring him if you want someone that's going to work well with everyone and make sure to light the dance floor on fire!

Everything about Pocket Change was a perfect addition to our wedding. Choosing our band was a major priority for us, as we know from experience they can make or break the reception. Pocket Change was everything we wanted, and more. From our first meeting with them, we felt comfortable and heard. They did a fantastic job of listening to our preferences and adapting that to what they were best at to deliver a great performance. They also did a great job of suggesting additions to our "must plays" that really went with the vibe we were looking for. Also, as a side note, the bride is a teacher, and we loved that Pocket Change is a band of music teachers! In addition to being absolutely perfect as a wedding band, they were also extremely affordable! We worked with some amazing vendors all around, but Pocket Change is the first review we're writing, because we really wanted to thank them for what they did to make our day special. We had a miscommunication with our venue about who was in charge of ceremony audio, and Pocket Change was able to jump in last minute to provide audio for the ceremony. They also let one of the bride's best friends join them on stage to sing Dancing Queen, which was so special for the bride and groom. There was a small issue with the wireless microphone during speeches, and their technician was able to jump in and solve it immediately! They were great at going with the flow and making situations that could have been stressful not at all. In almost every conversation we have had with guests since our wedding, someone has brought up what a great band they were. Hire Pocket Change - you will not be disappointed!!!

Let me start by saying that finding the right DJ for our big day was a high priority. We searched for quite some time to find the right fit, and we truly struck gold when we found Luis! From our initial consultation to the final song of the night, Luis was an absolute professional. He took the time to understand our music preferences, our unique spacing, and the vibe we wanted for our reception. He even helped us craft the perfect playlist for the evening. During the reception, Luis did a great job of reading the crowd. He knew exactly when to slow things down and when to ramp up, keeping everyone on the dance floor and their energy high throughout the night. Beyond his impeccable musical talents, Luis was also a fantastic MC. He kept the flow of the evening smooth through any last-minute adjustments. In addition to his professionalism and skill, Luis brought an infectious enthusiasm to our reception that was truly contagious. It was clear that they were not just there to do a job, but to ensure that we had the time of our lives, and they succeeded beyond our wildest dreams! The morning of the wedding I had let Luis know that I had forgotten our gift for our Anniversary Dance and that we could just bypass that for our event, but he insisted on helping by picking up a beautiful bouquet for the couple on his way to our event! The dance turned out so perfect with this little addition. If you're looking for a wedding DJ who will truly go above and beyond to make your big day unforgettable, look no further than Luis and Lionizing Entertainment.

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.

We met Denise when she DJ'd a friend's wedding and it was the most fun reception I'd ever attended. I knew she HAD to be my DJ if ever I got married! From day 1 of meeting with her for our wedding, it was clear that her goal was to give us the best party of our lives, whatever that looked like to us. She had great advice throughout the entire process and took time to get to know us and what style/vibe we wanted for our reception. Communication is key, and she had the logistics of the reception planned down to the minute. The music portal is very user friendly and it was really fun to think through our music. If you need song advice, she's your gal. She will strictly adhere to your do NOT play list. She gets the guests engaged and is truly a party starter (if that's what you want). Our guests told us they were sore the next morning because they literally never left the dance floor. Many have asked us to do an annual anniversary party and have Denise DJ it. She will become your family DJ for life and we know of at least 2 guests who plan to have her DJ their wedding. She is a lovely human and a STELLAR DJ.

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!

All That Events was the easiest company to work with for our wedding. My husband and I got married on 9/25/21 and used All That Events for our DJ, phot booth, and up lighting. We were initially supposed to get married on 5/1/21 but had to move because of Covid. Sheila and the entire team at All That Events were so understanding and accommodating when we asked to change our date. DJ Craig was fabulous and kept all of our guests on the floor the entire night. I truly cannot say enough good things about this company and would definitely recommend using All That Events for any wedding needs.

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!

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.

We had a great experience with them and they're incredibly talented!! I couldn't be happier and got many accolades on how incredible they were!

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)!!
