Our DJ was absolutely amazing! From the ceremony to the last dance, he nailed every moment. The music was perfectly timed, the transitions were seamless, and he read the crowd so well—everyone was on the dance floor all night long! He brought such great energy and made sure the vibe stayed fun and upbeat throughout the entire evening.

We worked with Queen Doc when it came to our wedding and she made things SO MUCH EASIER! She was incredibly communicative, easy going, even came to the venue to figure out the best use of space, and walked us through so much. I would happily and without any hesitation hire her again. A great MC as well, she really helped bring liveliness to our wedding and was quick in working with flow instead of against it.

Music is the language of our souls. Beyond our own personal enjoyment, we've spent time and effort to find like minded performers who are talented, energetic, and above all reliable. Professional and musician are two words that are not often imagined together: we aim a little higher and prefer the term "Full-time Entertainer" ;)

"I had the pleasure of having Alfonso & Gene perform for my wedding ceremony/reception. They absolutely rocked! I had a bit of a snafu when there was no where to plug in their equipment at the ceremony. Their quick thinking saved it. They played some soft acoustic music and sang softly in the background. They selected the perfect songs on the fly. I absolutely loved the song choice of Hallelujah during the ceremony! They are so creative and thoughtful in the way they perform. The mix of Pumped up Kicks with Seminole Wind blew my mind! I cannot thank you both enough. You made my day perfect and I would recommend your services to anyone in need of a rockin' party band. Spark Notes, is the best choice I could have made for great entertainment. Keep on Rockin!"

After a long career DJing clubs, radio, and more I can honestly say nothing is more rewarding than weddings. Just knowing that my music bonds families and helps them enjoy themselves on their most important day is a feeling that can't be replicated at any other gig. When I began getting requested for weddings, I saw a void for club DJs in the industry, so I picked the best and started Shut Down Productions. In addition to our DJ & MC services, we have grown to be a one stop shop by also offering photo booths, lighting, special effects and more to make your celebration even better.

Shut Down Productions was the perfect DJ choice for our wedding! Thank you so much Burton for an amazing wedding! I could not have asked for a better DJ and MC to give justice to my wedding as well as make it such a fun and magical day. You were so patient with us, very flexible, and caught the vibes of everyone so well. From the very first interaction, communication was efficient, warm, and fast. You took the time to understand our music preferences and wedding vibe, then delivered an adaptive, cultured, and high-energy performance that kept the dance floor packed all night! I usually don’t do a lot of reviews but felt like it would be an injustice to you if I didn’t let everyone know what an amazing DJ you are! Thank you again for making our night so special.

JUST THE MELODY BAND (JTM) is an all-star cast featuring a Grammy nominee and voices featured in tv/film and theatre. Led by singer, songwriter, and recording artist Melody Rodriguez, the band can be heard in numerous styles such as Latin Pop, Boy Bands and 90’s nostalgia, while authentically performing standards and classics with powerhouse vocals.

Awarded Best of Zola
When looking for a band for a multicultural wedding, we knew they had to be special. Just the Melody was the first band we reached out to and it was clear from the onset that we didn’t have to look any further because we knew they were the ones. Throughout the entire experience, Melody and Edvin were an absolute dream to work with. They were incredibly responsive and took the planning process seriously while also keeping it fun. We were able to have multiple planning meetings where they clearly listened to our vision and more specifically the energy we were hoping to bring to the entire evening. Our wedding included multiple different musical moments that Just the Melody was able to provide with aplomb. The ceremony was romantic instrumental music that transitioned to modern pop instrumentals during the first half of the cocktail hour. Then a Mariachi band took over the second half of the cocktail hour with Melody providing gorgeous vocals for a few songs before the 12-piece band took over the magic for the rest of the night. The band with Edvin as MC matched the energy of our guests the entire night in a way we never expected. After our first dance, a beautiful rendition of Luis Miguel’s”Por Debajo De La Mesa”, the band moved right into a wondrous lineup of Latin music including Cumbia, Bachata, and Salsa that got our guests up and on their feet. From that point forward the dancing was nonstop with both American and Latin music filling the air. They also helped us celebrate the joining of our Jewish and Latino cultures by playing the Hora followed by La Vibora De La Mar. Edvin and Melody worked well with our venue to time our fathers’ speeches when our guests paused for a moment to eat and they were thoughtful with the tempo of the night by pairing this with our father/bride and mother/groom dances. After dinner they brought the energy right back up and we even got to see some of Edvin’s unreal dance moves when the 90s/2000s pop music started up. We could absolutely not believe it when they allowed us to come on stage and belt out one of our favorite songs (Jimmy Eat World’s “The Middle”). It was a living dream (especially for the bride). We cannot say enough how much both of us and all of our guests absolutely adored Just the Melody. We have been told multiple times by our guests that they didn't expect to go to a concert along with our wedding and that they loved every minute of it. And we did too. The music the entire evening was exceptional and better than anything we could have come up with in our wildest dreams for the evening. Thank you Melody, Edvin and the entire Just the Melody crew - we could not have chosen better for our wedding!!
