Pure Event Group is dedicated to providing you first-class entertainment. We understand how important your wedding day is and treat it, unlike any other private event. Your wedding deserves to be different, plain, and simple. This is why Pure Event Group does not offer the same old "Cookie-Cutter" DJ packages. From our first phone call, you will have a custom experience with your own custom package based on your vision, venue, and our experience. There are times where less is more. And for those of you who are looking to add enhancements like Sparklers, LED Videowalls, Monograms, and Photobooths, Pure Event Group has you covered.

DJ Krush and MC Sal V crushed our big day! Everyone was raving about the non stop music. They read the crowd perfectly and delivered a high energy party for all! The photo-booth was beautiful and the photo book they put together for us was perfect. Highly recommend Pure for your big day!

If I could give Sweet Tea 100 stars, I would. My, now, husband and I held our wedding last week and I am still caught up in such a whirlwind from such a love felt, joyous weekend. Partly in thanks to Lori and Scott who are true GEMS. Anyone who has them perform at their event, are incredibly lucky. They will not disappoint! We received SO MANY compliments on our ceremony and cocktail hour musicians & choices of music which of course, is accredited to Sweet Tea. I am already thinking of future events to have them at.

Music makes the wedding! In fact, it's the centerpiece of your wedding - and a great, joyous, dynamic wedding band will make your event truly special and memorable. The Love Revival Orchestra is not your typical Wedding Band. We are able offer boutique-style service because we are a REAL band - with world-class musicians who've played hundreds of gigs together and are great friends!

Awarded Best of Zola
The Love Revival Orchestra was truly an enormous highlight of our wedding day! The band played for our cocktail hour with a talented Jazz Trio, a parade to get our guests into the reception (so cool and lots of kudos from the guests!!), and an outstanding reception performance. There was not one moment that the dance floor was empty and they truly brought the best energy and talent. Music was one of our biggest priorities for the wedding day and our expectations were blown away. David was very collaborative, helping us to plan the perfect set list and answering all of our questions leading up to the day. We were also so appreciative that the band was able to not only learn but perform incredible renditions of our first dance song, and themes from Vanderpump and Star Wars (truly amazing live!). The Love Revival Orchestra is a truly incredibly talented band that played everything from The Beatles to The Cranberries to Taylor Swift and so much more. We are so grateful for everything and have the highest recommendation for Love Revival Orchestra.

Montes Productions 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $2,195
  • Serves Jersey City, NJ

Hi, my name Is Juan Montes, I knew from a very young age I wanted to be apart of the hospitality/night life industry. As I grew as a DJ in the clubs, bars & restaurants in NJ/NYC so did my musical knowledge and ability to read crowds. I was able to apply what I learned into my company, Montes Pro, and ever since I have never looked back.

Awarded Best of Zola
After booking my venue, Montes Productions was the first vendor I booked. I did a lot of research and phone conferences with other DJs in NJ, all well known, for about weeks before deciding on Montes Productions. I was looking for someone who could go along with a “club” feel, but also incorporate a wide-range of music for my family. All the DJs I spoke to were pretty much the same, however, when I spoke to Juan…we just clicked. Montes Productions was recommended to me on the New Jersey Bridal Group on Facebook. Juan was probably the only vendor who I spoke with for 30 minutes about life and not just my wedding. He was super personable and was willing to work with my budget. I felt like I was speaking to a friend and not someone trying to sell. I booked with Montes Productions two years out, and Juan kept in contact with me for that entire time. He also worked with my husband and I a week before to go over all the small details for our wedding. Juan was very organized and knew his stuff for sure. I had a lot of little components to my wedding, and Juan helped me organize them! Which helped take a load off of my shoulders in the planning process. In addition, I’m very into Kpop and Juan took all my recommendations. I also booked a photobooth under Montes Productions and it was great. We chose the inflatable photo booth which was a big hit. Also, the guys who came with Juan were all wonderful. Montes Productions was fun, professional, and exceptional. The set-up on the wedding day was amazing, Juan even personalized signage to display on the screens that was definitely my aesthetic.. He also MC-ed the entire night and was a big hit with my friends and family. Juan is extremely well-spoken and has the best personality. I don’t know when I’ll ever have a big event like this again, but if I did, I would definitely hire Montes Productions again for a party!

  • DJ
  • Serves Jersey City, NJ

From DJing college house parties to packed clubs to music festivals, I've experienced the thrills of creating EPIC events through music. Weddings should be no different, but it requires a personal touch that brings out the stylistic uniqueness of each couple. I still remember having my own epic wedding dance party with my friends & family 10 years ago, and my goal is to give our couples the same! Remixologists is our team of talented like-minded DJs who share the client-focus & music versatility that I believe make the difference between having a good wedding and an AMAZING ONE for the ages!

DJ Lee was incredible!!! Look no further you NEED to book Remixologists for your event. I spent hours reading reviews and vetting different vendors and Remixologists was honestly the best choice I made for my wedding reception! Specifically DJ Lee was AMAZING. He was super organized from the get go which was so helpful leading up to the wedding day. I had a fusion wedding and he seamlessly worked in Indian songs into the hiphop/pop/80s music that kept everyone on the dance floor all night! DJ Lee was also a great emcee and created the perfect mix of music and energy to get people of all ages out of their seats. I can't recommend Remixologists enough!! Thank you for making our night unforgettable!

They were easy to communicate with and made themselves available to work through and trouble shoot any songs or moments that were critical to our timeline.

As a wedding planner, the most important qualities I look for in a DJ are reliability and professionalism, in addition to talent. My number one choice is always MikeMusic. When my couples book him, I can breathe a sigh of relief because I know he has everything covered. He comes prepared with every piece of equipment needed (including backups!) which gives me peace of mind so my team can focus on the other wedding day logistics. And when it's party time, his music selection is on point! He's extremely knowledgeable about various music genres. The energy that he and his MC create on the dance floor is infectious. If you want your wedding to be unforgettable, do not hesitate to book MikeMusic!

Fortunately, they travel all over and were happy to come to Delaware for our 10/5/2019 wedding. Communication was smooth throughout the entire process, and they were completely open to working with us on our song list and catering to what we really love most. Their rendition of our first dance song was spot-on to what we hoped it would be. They played a consistently strong set all night and had everyone - and I mean everyone! - up and dancing.

Cause and The Effects

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $8,500
  • Serves Jersey City, NJ

Based in Staten Island, New York, Cause and The Effects is an enthusiastic band comprised of young musical professionals ready to perform at your wedding. The band was founded in 2011 but the versatile members have been playing together and separately for more than two decades. You can choose between a seven-, eight-, or 10-piece band to perform at your reception, while smaller groups can perform during the ceremony and cocktail hour. Show-stopping music is performed with a variety of instruments such as horns, percussion, saxophones, flute, and piano. They are based in Staten Island but are willing to travel to destination weddings.

If you’re considering a live band for your wedding reception, look no further than Cause and the Effects. We hired the full 10-piece band to play at our wedding reception on 9/23/23, and that was undoubtedly one of the best decisions we made. From our initial calls all the way through the actual event, the band set themselves apart and proved to be far more than a standard event vendor. They were completely invested in giving us the best experience possible. Vin and Anthony took the time to get to know us, our interests, and how we wanted the event to flow, and used all of that information to put together an amazing set. Our reception had a few unique twists, and the band took each of our requests in stride with enthusiasm and professionalism. Leading up to our reception, Vin communicated with some of our other vendors to make sure any intersecting elements (for example, audio/video and lighting) went smoothly. And day-of, the full band’s talent and energy blew us away. Once the party started, it did not stop for a single second. We, the majority of our guests–and eventually, some of the band members & instruments themselves!--were going wild on the dance floor the entire night. Even the non-dancers in the crowd were sitting and enjoying the music with huge smiles on their faces. Throughout the event, many people pulled us aside so they could tell us how much they were loving the music…and in speaking to guests afterward, the first thing every single person mentioned was how incredible the band was. And talk about a personal playlist–not only did they create a completely unique rendition of our first dance song (Starlight by Muse) to match our dance choreography, but they also delivered a huge surprise. In our consultations, we’d mentioned how important the band Linkin Park is to us…so Cause and the Effects learned “In the End” just for us, and delivered a phenomenal performance as one of the closing songs of the night. It was so meaningful, and it’s something we’ll never forget. Please don’t hesitate to make Cause and the Effects one of the first vendors you book for your event. "Five stars" is not a high enough rating!
