Choosing a DJ was not easy, but we couldn't have made a better choice! Justin exceeded our expectations and made the day memorable and perfect. His music and emcee skills were appreciated by our guests and even the bartender. Five stars are not enough. He is the best!! Our heartfelt thanks to you, Justin.

Mixlux

Boston, MA
  • DJ
  • Starts at $5,500

I'm Brian and I design atmospheres through curated music and light for my clients and their guests so that we may all engage in a shared energy. Weddings are better when all the senses are engaged. I do that through combining music and light to work with each other seamlessly. I say no to sh*tty DJ lighting of the past. Your wedding shouldn't look like your middle school dance. Musically I want to present you and your guests with a soundtrack that speaks to you shared history and further connects you in the this significant moment in your life.

Awarded Best of Zola
Highly recommend Brian at EventSmith for your wedding! He is responsive, proactive, and has great taste and was a hit with the crowd at our wedding.

Awarded Best of Zola
Great service, exquisite music taste. I loved not having to worry about flow, introductions, or having fun on the dance floor. Drew was so communicative and sent lists and lists of song recommendations for every part of the wedding in order to alleviate some of the wedding planning stress. He was really able to read the dance floor and made dancing such a fun experience for all involved! Not to mention, his flexibility and willingness to incorporate my latin culture into the playlist. I would definitely work with them again for future parties.

Awarded Best of Zola
We would confidently recommend Press Play to anyone looking for an exceptional wedding DJ experience! Neither my husband nor I are experts on music (I for example never remember the names of songs I like), so we were looking for a DJ who would be able to capture the essence of the music we enjoyed. We found Press Play approximately 5 months before our wedding. Keith provided an online form with common wedding songs and essential questions about our wedding day. We chose about 1.5 hours of music from this list, and also shared four Spotify playlists with him – our must-play, must-not play, like list, and prefer-not-to-play lists, which we had compiled over the course of a few months. Keith seamlessly filled in the rest. 3 weeks before the wedding, Keith reached out to confirm the day-of-proceedings and pronunciation of names, demonstrating his attention to detail. During our wedding, Keith's kept the atmosphere lively and engaged, with creative ideas such as asking if some of our teenage guests wanted to try out the DJ booth. We received numerous compliments on our DJ and the dance floor remained packed throughout the night!

Awarded Best of Zola
I hired Harmonious Hearts to arrange the music for out ceremony and for the reception afterwards and they knocked it out of the park! Not only were the musicians top notch (seriously, how are these people not famous?) But they also made everything so seamless. Weddings can be pretty stressful, but they ensured the music was one thing I didn't have to bridezilla about, and that's no minor feat. I cannot recommend them enough!

Speechless

  • Starts at $8,950

The SpeechLess Party Band is the collaboration of 6-11 musicians trained to play music without words and adding top-notch vocalists equaling music with MORE MELODY! ‘More than a cover band’ means the band doesn’t just play songs, they make them their own. SpeechLess provides a complete professional approach to formalities & emceeing while simultaneously bringing style, energy and personality to your event. The group combines experience with inspiration and improvisation; every performance is different, always fun, funky and fresh. If you are planning a wedding you have 2 choices, hire just another wedding band OR hire SpeechLess!

Literally, SpeechLess blew me away! The horns were the highlight of the night at our company gala, it was what everyone was talking about the next day. They knew when to be background and when to kick things up into an appropriate "corporate party mode", not over-the-top, the perfect amount of energy to elevate the atmosphere to facilitate a fun night for employees. Highly recommended!

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Arthur to dj at our July 8th wedding. While our families are Greek, we had a number of non-Greek guests and wanted to make sure everyone had music they would like. Arthur did a great job mixing Greek and American music and reading the crowd throughout the night. The Photo Booth was a massive hit and we loved the video highlight reel he sent us a few days later too. 100% would recommend!

We just had to drop you a quick note to say THANK YOU for being the absolute DJ at our wedding! Seriously, you made the day unforgettable, and we couldn't have asked for a better vibe. First off, your flexibility with including our dogs in the celebration? A game-changer. You not only rolled with it but embraced the idea, and our furry friends became part of the party. The personalized touches like dedicating a song to them? Priceless. The dance floor was never empty, and everyone was raving about the tunes. You nailed the transition from ceremony to cocktail hour to reception flawlessly, and we appreciated your attention to detail.

Vibrant

5.0

Boston, MA
  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $3,950

Vibrant puts your day first and foremost. Our premier performances and dedication to personalized service has led to our recent induction into The_Knot Hall of Fame 2020. We came together to provide couples with a personalized entertainment experience. Everything from string quartets or harpists for your ceremony, jazz trios for your cocktail hour, and 6 piece bands with horn sections for your reception, we offer it all in one convenient package. I will be working with you directly every step of the way from consultation and planning, to the day of the wedding.

Vibrant was fantastic for our March wedding. They brought amazing energy and class to our event, and guests are still raving about them a month later. The dance floor was packed for the entire evening. Lauren and Miguel are a dynamite lead-singing duo, and the instrumentalists are each incredibly talented. Justin was very responsive and easy to connect with leading up to the day, and accommodated all of our requests and needs with ease. They were also very helpful with recommendations based on extensive experience, and even allowed the bride's sister to play their keyboard for the ceremony, which was an over-and-above request they did not have to agree to. Overall can't recommend this group enough!

East Coast Soul

5.0

Boston, MA
  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $6,420

East Coast Soul is a premier funk, soul, and R&B ensemble collective. East Coast Soul is more than a band. We are a tightly knit group of close friends; a collective of committed, full-time musicians focused on bringing an unparalleled level of energy and style to your event. We have curated a timeless repertoire through years of performance experience and proudly present it with our own unique, soulful style and energy. We can’t wait to talk with you guys!

East Coast Soul was absolutely the best decision for our wedding! We had the King Ensemble (8-person) play our June 2022 wedding, including a keyboard soloist for the ceremony and a instrumental duo during cocktail hour. They were *outstanding*. The vocals on the singers were just incredible and they kept the dance floor packed all night. A live band at our wedding was an absolute must for us, and we have zero regrets. They were easy to work with in making sure the music was custom to us, and really appreciated all the worksheets and meetings to ensure our visions were aligned. Honestly felt it was a really good value for what they delivered too. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a live band at their wedding or event!
