Awarded Best of Zola
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.

I cannot say enough amazing things about Sarah Beth! I was extremely stressed about choosing the right songs for our ceremony, but she was so calming, patient, and helpful throughout the entire process. She truly made everything feel easy and guided me in a way that took so much pressure off. She even went above and beyond by learning a new song that my husband absolutely loves, which meant so much to us. Honestly, my husband wasn’t fully on board with hiring a violinist at first, but after the wedding, he admitted it was one of the best decisions we made and was so glad we chose Sarah Beth! Her music added such a beautiful and special touch to our ceremony, and everything flowed perfectly thanks to her help with timing and coordination. I couldn’t have been happier with how everything turned out. My only advice to future brides is to make sure you have someone record this part of your day or designate a family member to capture some moments—I didn’t, and I definitely regret not having more footage of such a special addition. If you’re considering a violinist, I highly recommend Sarah Beth. She truly helped make our day perfect!

Tyler from Jammin’ DJs brought the right vibes on our wedding night! We had live musicians for ceremony and cocktail hour, but starting with grand entrances and through dinner/dancing, Tyler seamlessly took over. Something important to look for in DJs is comfort making announcements, and that was very well done here. He made extra sure to check pronunciations and ensure what he was saying was what we wanted to happen. My husband and I love all kinds of music, so it was impressive that he sifted through the long list of requests with a through-the-decades method that had cohesiveness. The uplighting as part of the package was great, too. It signaled the change from classy ceremony and dinner with orange/gold tones to a bluer/neon dancing vibe. My only complaint (and I don’t think this is on Tyler’s side of the business) was that we very explicitly communicated over the phone that venue setup time was 2h before the ceremony, but that we wouldn’t be needing DJ services until post-cocktail hour. We made it through a phone call with John, a full contract-signing exchange, and a video conference with Tyler before Jammin’ DJs notified us we’d need to pay an extra 125 setup fee for the setup-to-usage delay. It was very stressful to have this on our plate during wedding week, and despite questioning this Jammin’ DJs stood firm. It felt like we got backed into a corner to make the company more money when we were in a bad position (close to the wedding!) On the scale of a wedding, maybe 125 isn’t that much, but it’s the fact that we felt repeatedly not listened to and that it was such a scramble time-wise making this leave a sour taste. I want to close this review by emphasizing this has little to do with Tyler and that I would still use this DJ service again! I just would be more clear and exchange more details in writing to defend myself next time. Thank you, Jammin’ DJs, for being a part of our day!

There are not words to describe how much we loved having DJ Krystyle perform at our Aug 2024 wedding. She was very responsive, communicative, and has a super easy online portal that helps capture every detail you could think of for the event music. She’s also a lovely human in general to work with. We went with the approach of choosing the major songs and providing general recommendations around genres and let the expert handle the rest. We had multiple guests tell us they could not stop dancing or singing along the entire night. We had every age group on the dance floor. If it’s any indication - my photographer had to remind me a few times to stop bouncing around so she could get some good still shots. In our opinion, it doesn’t get any better than DJ Krystyle.

We booked island sounds for our wedding and were very impressed with their service. The communication was outstanding and the app was very convenient to use. Our wedding was Saturday after hurricane Helene. We had to change our wedding reception venue and use generators for power but island sounds showed up and put on a party for us and our guests. He made our wedding fun and memorable even in the worst circumstances!

You would not believe how many compliments we got on Carey playing at our wedding! People are still talking about it almost a year later. Carey's talent and professionalism truly elevated our wedding and made the night feel so special. We're so incredibly lucky and if we could get married a million times, he'd be there every single time. We cannot recommend him highly enough!

Brandon also helped me surprise my now husband with a special dedication song that made his night and had all our guests smiling. He was a great communicator who truly got to know us and our guests to create a special night. The Photo Booth, run by his wife, was also a huge hit. Guests of all ages had a blast taking fun, memorable photos. I cannot recommend them enough to make your night fun and special!
