The harpist and violinist were absolutely incredible — truly one of the most magical parts of our entire wedding day. My husband and I were completely in awe, and our guests couldn’t stop talking about how beautiful and cinematic the music was. It felt like something straight out of a movie, especially with the stunning ambiance of our ceremony location. From the very beginning, the process of choosing music through the company’s website was seamless. There were so many amazing song options to pick from, and we were so happy with our final selections. Hearing them come to life — especially on violin and harp — was beyond words. The musicians played so eloquently and gracefully, and their talent was unmatched. The music added a romantic, emotional, and elegant touch that elevated everything to a whole new level. Communication with the company was excellent. They were quick to respond, always friendly and accommodating, and remained professional and patient — even when unexpected weather challenges came up on the day of the wedding. They were flexible, understanding, and worked with us to make sure everything went smoothly. The quality of the performance was truly a 10 out of 10. Guests were completely blown away, and many told us how unforgettable and moving the ceremony music was. The transitions between songs were smooth and perfectly timed. I would 100% recommend this company to any couple looking to add something special to their ceremony. They are incredibly talented, professional, punctual, and just a dream to work with. We’re so grateful to have had them be part of our big day — they helped make it feel absolutely magical.

Awarded Best of Zola
HiMotive Entertainment & Photobooth did a great job keeping our wedding reception fun and upbeat. While their communication was a bit delayed leading up to the event, they were ultimately effective in executing on the day-of. The DJ kept the party going all night with a good song selection, though they did play 3 Taylor Swift songs in a row at the start, which we would have preferred more variety. The MC's ad-libs got a little overbearing at times, but overall they did a nice job sticking to the schedule and making important announcements. We'd recommend HiMotive to other couples looking for an energetic DJ.

Everything about this evening was intentional; from the menu to the music and Xavier and Aubry exceeded my expectations in capturing my vision.

I had talked to Stephen early on about how much I loved electronic style music, especially a few certain genres that aren't usually played at weddings. We built a late set into our wedding timeline and Kenny (DJ Phocus) was amazing to work with! He even played some original music and was having so much fun with us! This company has great DJs and the Vibo app made it so easy to create a preferred playlist that helped create the vibe we wanted. 10/10 I would absolutely recommend them to anyone who would listen.

Hi, I'm Nick Bryant! I am a singer-guitarist, and I've played professionally for nearly 10 years. I am the band manager of Velvet City Sound. From booking, to the send-off, and everything in between, expect nothing less than the best from VCS!

We booked VCS for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception, and were so glad we did! We really felt like they had our best interests at heart from the moment we called to get a quote until our sparkler sendoff! Whatever you need musically, VCS takes care of it. We were even able to rent a full dance floor for a reasonable price that they assembled themselves. We were able to focus on being with our friends and family on our wedding day instead of stressing about the little things. Book VCS, and thank me later! ;)

Not a single person was sitting at the tables while the Dickens were on the stage. They were very interactive with the crowd and even let the groom (a guitar player) get up there and jam out with them. This was such a fun addition to the wedding and we loved every minute of it!

We found Greg and BJ at a local bridal show. We talked with them and loved what they offered. We met with them a few weeks later, and felt very comfortable. We hired them for our ceremony and reception. At our meeting before the wedding, we filled out planners for everything I wanted to happen. The day of, the ceremony went great. They played music 30 minutes before for FREE! They put mics on the Pastor and my Groom Charles so we could be heard. The music was timed perfectly. In the reception they played easy jazz music during dinner. Our dances and cake cutting went without a hitch. They then started the dance music and we had a blast! The music sounded great, and was a wide range of music to include everybody of all ages. I would recommend them to everyone. They are very good at what they do.

Party On A Budget

The concept here is that everyone should be able to enjoy professional, high quality musical entertainment at their wedding reception, party, or special occasion, even on a tight budget. Why pay as much as $1200 or more for a DJ from a big company when you can get the same quality entertainment for much less? That's where "Party On A Budget" comes in. I have professional sound equipment, years of experience, a large library of music, and plenty of fun ideas, just like the big company guys. The only difference is that I can provide it all for a lot less.
