I've never worked with a DJ as good as Drew and his crew. Drew had sent me an email a few weeks before the couples wedding with the reception timeline (a first) and kept me up-to-date with any last minute changes the day of. It is clear by working with Drew how much he loves his job and how much he cares about the couples he works with. He got the crowd going, the dance floor was always packed and he invited the couple up to DJ booth which was so fun for them and also amazing for pictures. If you are looking for a DJ who cares, gets the dance floor going and is easy to work with, BEG Event Group is it. I will be recommending them to all my clients!

DJ Shyne is the difference between a good wedding and a once-in-a-lifetime, next-level, unforgettable experience. Hiring him was the single best decision we made for our wedding. He is outstanding—a true artist in his craft. It’s so clear that he’s not only dedicated to his profession but also deeply loves what he does. We gave DJ Shyne what we thought was an impossible challenge: blend pop hits, Spanish tunes, emo throwbacks, Disney jams, booty-shaking hip hop, and a long list of theme songs from our favorite TV shows and movies (everything from The White Lotus to Saw). On top of that, we added a handful of random, deeply personal songs you’d never expect at a wedding. What happened? Not only did he execute this perfectly, but he became the catalyst for a wedding that felt curated exactly to US—spinning a history of us both as individuals and our journey together woven into a seamless soundtrack. His mixing was unique, unexpected, and so much fun. As the bride, there was no place I wanted to be except on that dance floor. Our guests went wild. Compliments poured in all night and days after. We got so many texts like, “BROOO your DJ?! ” that we started to lose count. But it wasn’t just about the music. From the very first Zoom, DJ Shyne radiated charisma and professionalism. He carried that positive energy into every planning meeting and right through the reception—he even gave our speakers personal pep talks before their toasts! And when it came to group dances, he did something I’ve never seen: he stepped onto the dance floor, mic in hand, and taught the moves live. Towards the end of the Cha Cha Slide, he started teaching the crowd the moves to the Cupid Shuffle so by the time it started they were already doing it!!! No confusion, no awkward guessing, just pure joy and inclusion. He quickly became the vendor we looked forward to meeting with most. We ended each Zoom call feeling assured, uplifted, and excited about the possibilities. Out of everyone we worked with, he was the best. It does not get better than DJ Shyne. He isn’t just the DJ your wedding needs, he’s the DJ your wedding deserves.

Overtone Music Management 

4.3

  • Ceremony only
  • Serves Essex, MA

It is such a privilege to have you here reading about my company. I grew up playing Piano and Violin classically and have played frequently in solo and ensemble performances. I began playing for weddings in 2013 and have continued to do so ever since. I started Overtone in 2024 because I felt a desire to bridge the gap between couples and musicians. Having played for many weddings over the last decade, I realized how many couples lacked access to information that would help them make informed decisions about their wedding ceremony music. It has become my desire and the mission of this company to change that.

Awarded Best of Zola
Dane and Bethany were incredibly easy to work with! My husband and I were encountering a lot of issues planning our wedding last December, and it was a breath of fresh air to work with individuals as reliable as them. I was relatively vague with what we wanted for our ceremony (because classical music is not my area of expertise!) but Dane and Bethany were able to pull of exactly what I envisioned. Thank you both so much!

It's all about FUN at an affordable price! I'm a DJ who does not impose my style on clients but adapts to their needs. As a Professional Radio Broadcaster and Club/Wedding DJ I have the ability to be a quality emcee & DJ for any function. I pride myself on following the clients playlists! I never sit during a function and will be as interactive as the client requires! I'm not your typical Wedding DJ nor am I a 'cheesy DJ'. I provide quality entertainment at an affordable price.

Jimi is a true pro. He was great every step of the way for us. We gave him a list of must-play's and also a longer list of music we like as a general reference, but let him do his thing based on that. He crushed it. The music was perfect. I highly recommend him for anyone looking for a DJ!

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,250
  • Serves Essex, MA

Scott Arrington is one of Boston’s premier private event DJs and has been DJing for over 10 years. During that time, he has noticed a distinct evolution in musical preferences among clients. The constantly changing world of popular music, coupled with the unique tastes of underground music fans and old souls, has created a kind of melodic melting pot. Within this equation, any and everything goes and a growing number of genres and sub-genres are being represented at any given event.

For any couple who is looking for the perfect DJ to create the optimal environment for their wedding night, look no further. Theresa & I could not have been more happy with picking Scott as our DJ to manage music for our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception portions for our wedding at Glen Magna Farms. From the get-go, Scott was incredibly professional, communicative and easy going. He was amazing at listening and taking into account our vision for the evening while politely interjecting to give his credible expertise on what type of flow/type of vibe would go best at which portion of the evening. When Theresa & I shared that we wanted a live saxophonist to pair with his DJing, he introduced us to Chuck who also brought the stage down and was a huge crowd favorite for all of our guests. So many of our friends loved the DJ/live saxophonist combination and we're so appreciative of Scott and Murray Hill's support in turning our dreams into a reality. We could not recommend Scott more to any couple getting married in the North Shore area!

Brides and Grooms of New England! Are you ready to make your dream wedding a reality? Do you want a party your guests will rave about for years to come? Closing Time is ready to make that happen with legendary live music & DJ services for your ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing. Closing Time offers three high-energy wedding bands: Closing Time (Boston), Closing Time (New England), and Closing Time (Northeast). Each band is flexible in size, ranging from 5 to 9 musicians.

We hired Closing Time for our wedding band and they absolutely blew us away. Due to weather issues out of our control (including loss of electricity at the venue), the band was unfortunately unable to play live music for our ceremony and cocktail hour. However, they were able to quickly transition to prerecorded versions of our processional/recessional songs. Despite the power still being out for the first two hours of our reception, Closing Time delivered. They were incredibly professional throughout and the live music was absolutely phenomenal. Multiple guests came up to us throughout the night asking how we found them, as well as telling us this was the best wedding band they has heard. Their captivating performance kept the dance floor full the entire evening. I can't thank Closing Time enough for providing such amazing music for our wedding

We hired Clockwork New England for our wedding in Holderness, NH on 8/31/25 and we were absolutely blown away. Clockwork runs such a professional, caring business, and from our first touch point to our last, we couldn't be more happy with our experience. Ron, the owner, and Patrick, the band leader, were both so attentive to our needs and questions leading up to the wedding. I felt really confident going into the day that they had everything under control and were going to make it a great day. Patrick managed our ceremony cocktail music masterfully - it was perfect. And then the reception... omg. I know I'm biased, but this band was nothing less than the greatest wedding band / cover band I have EVER HEARD. The energy! The entertainment! Our guests are still raving, 2 months after the wedding. My husband and I are big dancers, and we did not leave the dance floor once. It was packed the whole time, from start to finish; even before dinner was served people went out to dance!!! We could not have asked for a better experience on such an important day for us. Guys... when they started playing Pink Pony Club?? Or when the trumpet blasted the first couple notes to Mr. Brightside to bring us back from a band break?!? I couldn't breathe. Absolutely incredible. From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU Clockwork New England for making all of our wildest wedding dreams come true. Thank you thank you thank you - we will be taking ourselves back to that day and that dance floor for the rest of our lives.

Tommy was super friendly and communicative. The vibes were great and he kept the dance floor busy! Our only complaint would be that we provided a sample play list to show what we were looking for with about 85% 2000’s rap/r&b and none of it was played until the last 30 minutes of the night when my husband had to go up and specifically say to play it. But it was still a great time!

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.

Alan C was easy and great to work with! We had a music range from Bad Bunny, Creed, The Killers and more! We shared with him a playlist of some of our favorite songs, a list of "do not play" whether they were styles of music, artists or specific songs and a "must play" list. His online forum was easy to navigate and use. We loved the uplighting and the audio guestbook (phone)!! Also I appreciate that he read and followed through with all the small notes we left for him (specifically we asked for father/daughter, mother/son and first dance to end after the chorus and not play the entire 3-4 minutes). Such a great time. We received so many compliments on our music and the dance floor was busy all night long! He was always very responsive and quick to work with any last minute changes (we had a rainy day).

The band was phenomenal; they completely exceeded our expectations and kept the dance floor packed from the very first song to the last. The energy, talent, and chemistry they brought to the night were unmatched. Every single guest has told us how incredible the music was and how much fun they had dancing. They nailed every transition, read the crowd perfectly, and made the entire reception feel like one huge celebration. You could tell they genuinely loved what they do, and that energy was infectious. Thank you so much for absolutely crushing it!!

This was the second occasion for which I used A Better DJ & Photographer. as always, the staff was very communicative, professional and engaging from the pre-event introductions to the event day. Everything about this evening was intentional; from the menu to the music and Xavier and Aubry exceeded my expectations in capturing my vision. I believe a good DJ is one who is intuitive and can read an audience, and a good photographer is one who can capture moments without you being aware. Thank you Michael, Aubrey, and Xavier for making my moment memorable for me and my guests. I highly recommend A Better DJ & Photographer!
