Awarded Best of Zola
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!

We hired Entertainment By Scott Sica for our wedding at the Beauport Hotel in Gloucester, and they exceeded all of our expectations. From the beginning, their communication was easy, professional, and consistent, which put us at ease throughout the planning process. The quality of their work and overall value was excellent - they provided a well-put-together package that included a photobooth, DJ, and uplighting. Initially, we weren't sure about booking the platinum package, but we're very glad we did. Scott was classy and appropriate for the environment, but also knew how to get the party started and get our guests cutting loose on the dance floor.

They contributed so much to making our wedding day truly special.

We have been in business specializing in weddings for over 20 years. With a music collection spanning more than 100 years, we virtually have something for everyone. We carry professional sound systems, wireless microphones, dance lights and even uplighting for that extra special effect.

We gave them a pre list of songs and then opened it up to guest requests. He was awesome. The location we had him set up wasn't the easiest to get to so he set up another computer right where the guests were with a request form set up. Everyone had a blast. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a DJ for their wedding.

DJ Scott Arrington 
Rating: 5.0 (1 review)
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,250
  • Serves Gloucester, 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!

And this will continue for weeks and months after your wedding!

Awarded Best of Zola
Clockwork New England was hands-down one of the absolute highlights of our wedding. From the first song to the last, the dance floor was packed and the energy never dropped. Not only is their level of musical talent off-the-charts, but their performers were constantly engaging with our guests — even coming off the stage to sing and dance right on the floor with everyone. It created such an electric, interactive atmosphere that made the night unforgettable. The vocals, musicianship, and song selection were all incredible, and we have had countless guests tell us how amazing the band was and ask for their name afterward. Leading up to the wedding, they were also fantastic to work with — professional, organized, and truly invested in making sure our wedding was everything we hoped for. If you’re looking for a wedding band that will keep the dance floor packed all night and completely elevate your reception, cocktail hour, and ceremony, Clockwork New England is a must. We cannot recommend them highly enough.

The photographer, videographer, and photo booth was absolutely perfect and our guests had a blast! However, even after going through the work of submitting a Spotify play list and adding do not play songs or DJ played the wrong version of our first dance song (I checked and we had the correct version listed on our playlist we sent over), he also played songs from our do not play list to the point I, the bride, came over to ask if he had the wrong list. He admitted he was using songs from the do not play list as he was not paying attention. I would also like to note, though our wedding was more casual, our DJ was dressed in a sloppy manner. His shirt was half untucked from his pants, there were stains on his shirt and pants. Besides a few hiccups, direct Entertainment was wonderful to work with!

When a band is way out of your price range, but you’re DYING for live music at your wedding…JOSEPH AND ERIKA ARE PERFECT! I can’t say enough good things about Joseph and Erika! Music can really make or break the day and Joseph and Erika 100% made the day! They did amazing live cocktail hour music, then sang for half of dinner, then continued with amazing DJ’d music for the other half and dancing! They also offered live singing for first and parent dances which was amazing! It seriously is the music you dream of at a wedding. They use the easiest app Vibo to talk through what you do and don’t want played and they add in their amazing flare! I talked with Erika about what I was hoping for and she was able to give advice and remix everything perfectly! It can be hard to capture and post a photo of the vibe Joseph and Erika created for us, but I tried! Joseph joined us on the dance floor with his guitar and then we ended singing Piano man together! I seriously cannot stop reminiscing on everything!! Thank you Joseph and Erika for my sore feet from dancing for 5 hours straight!! Haha! From, a very happy bride

Overall, we had a good experience with our DJ. He arrived on time, was professional throughout the evening, and kept our guests on the dance floor for most of the night. The music flowed well, and everyone seemed to have a great time. That said, I did spend a lot of time carefully selecting songs that were meaningful to us, and I was a little disappointed that many of those selections weren't played. Some of our requested songs were included, but I had hoped more of our playlist would be incorporated into the evening. The only other issue was that, just before our grand exit, he approached us to mention that he hadn't received enough food. We had paid for a vendor meal for him, so I wasn't sure what had happened, and it didn't feel like the best time to bring it up while we were in the middle of such a special moment. Despite those concerns, he was friendly, punctual, and our guests clearly enjoyed themselves. If having a lively dance floor is your top priority, he does a good job creating a fun atmosphere.

In today's world everything is extremely overpriced and service is terrible. My wedding was very stressful for me because of this. I did not have a DJ or a Photographer and honestly was considering just something small scale, until I talked to Ed from DJ Double E. I would give them 10 stars out 5. From the minute I talked to Ed it was a breath of fresh air from the million other outrageously priced DJ's. The price is unbeatable but that's not why I would recommend them. They are absolutely phenomenal and made my entire wedding. The music was perfect from ceremony to the last dance. They were so professional, so involved and so fun. We had a daytime (early) wedding. It is so challenging to get people up and have a good time at 12:30 in the afternoon, I was having meltdowns about it, they reassured me but had the entire place up and having fun. You didn't know if it was day or night. They helped us more than the attendants at the venue. Over 100 guests said how amazing they were. The pictures they took could not be any better. Any other DJ who had packages like this (photo booth etc...) were THOUSANDS, yes THOUSANDS, more!!! I really hate to admit but I'm not easily pleased however I would put my name on the line for DJ Double E after how they made my wedding. DJ Double E exceeded all my and my husband's expectations and -consider yourself lucky if you hire them for any event. I'll be calling them again!!!

We are so glad that we chose Jimmy to be both our DJ and our officiant at our wedding. From the first time we spoke to Jimmy, he was very friendly and easy to talk to. His communication leading up to the event was always amazing (even while he was on a cruise!). He was perfect as our officiant — the ceremony was just what we wanted. We didn’t provide a ton of guidance or make any special requests and Jimmy really knocked it out of the park; it felt like he knew us and kind of matched the ceremony to our personalities just from the few conversations we had with him prior to the wedding. Jimmy was also an excellent DJ! Our guest list was pretty small and he did an awesome job getting people on the dance floor and keeping the vibes up! He played all the songs we requested and he was super accommodating to special requests, like working with my best friend who played violin for the ceremony. Everything was seamless. Everybody loved him and spoke highly of him at the wedding — I heard he even had a little heart to heart with my dad. :’) 10/10 would recommend Jimmy!

Wedding advice: hire Cover Story Entertainment! We worked with CSE for our July wedding. We went with the ceremony package, 6-piece band as well as their uplighting and photo booth services. Our experience with CSE from start to finish was 10/10. Chris and Elena are incredibly organized, communicative, and responsive. They always answered all of our questions (and I asked many!) Alec, Alex, Savannah, and the rest of the band members rocked it all night. One of the first things guests commented on about our wedding was how amazing the band was. One of our guests commented that they wish they could cancel their DJ and fly CSE to their wedding in Portugal because they loved them so much. Extremely talented musicians for an awesome price, which make a huge difference when wedding planning.

David and his team at Black Diamond were absolutely incredible! I’ve never been to a wedding where the DJ got so many compliments—our guests couldn’t stop raving about him. He read the room perfectly, keeping the vibe fun and upbeat early in the evening, and then seamlessly transitioning into a full-blown club experience just like we asked. What really sets this company apart is how well they prepare. Their website asks thoughtful, detailed questions ahead of time, which made the day-of experience completely stress-free.

We had THE BEST night with Sid/Fusion Function. We told the team we wanted the dance floor to feel like a club and he totally delivered. We're so grateful for his professionalism, easy-to-navigate music portal, and above all, for keeping the vibes SUPER high. We had a blast. Thanks Sid and Fusion Function team!

We hired Luis Andrade of Lionizing Entertainment for our wedding, and we are SO GLAD we did! We were looking for someone who would let us have a lot of control over our music, and we got so much more. He took our requests into consideration and did a fantastic job building upon them. Luis was funny, welcoming, worked with my grandparents on getting mics connected for the videos they were taking, played excellent music, worked off of our highly curated playlists for the cocktail hour and reception, and kept the dance floor full for hours. I have never had so much fun dancing at a wedding. I highly recommend him as a DJ, I wish there was another event coming up where we could hire him again. We’ve attended quite a few weddings by this point and he outshined every other DJ we’ve seen.

Brian is one of the best wedding DJs in the business. In the past two years I’ve been to eight different weddings. Brian was the DJ for three of the eight, and the party/reception component of the events was never more fun than when Brian was driving the bus. He is an east coast DJ, but he spun tracks at both of my sister-in-laws’ weddings and as we were searching for a DJ for our own wedding we reached out just to see what he would charge for a wedding in Chicago. Turns out the price was right. Brian traveled to Chicago, MC’d our entire wedding, brought all of the equipment necessary and made our day exceptional in every way. I think there are a few things that really set Brian apart from other wedding DJs. Anyone can stand there and run through a playlist, but Brian went off book a few times to match and capture the energy of the guests. As we were in the midst of the planning process he added zero stress, and just calmly walked us through the process of selecting songs. He had suggestions and recommendations along the way. He even brought an extra speaker so that we could plug our digital piano in and the pianist would be able to play loudly enough. Overall, we can’t recommend Brian highly enough. You will not regret choosing him to DJ at your wedding, party, event. Whatever it is, Brian is a huge value add and a pleasure to work with.

Harmonious Hearts was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding! From the very beginning, they were fast to respond to all of our questions and incredibly easy to communicate with. They took the time to ask detailed questions about our musical preferences and timeline, and were open to adjusting things as needed to ensure our day was exactly how we envisioned it. On the day of the wedding, they were punctual, upbeat, and helped keep the energy flowing all night long. They worked seamlessly with the other vendors, including the saxophonist we hired separately, to make sure the dance floor was packed from start to finish. We had sent them hundreds of song ideas and they incorporated so we could make our wedding as personalized as possible. We highly recommend them to any couple looking for an amazing wedding band and DJ experience!
