We used Sam Hill Entertainment to book the band “The Dickens”. This is the part of our wedding everyone is still talking about. They played such a variety that every age was able to enjoy. Not a single person was sitting at the tables while the Dickens were on the stage. They were very interactive with the crowd and even let the groom (a guitar player) get up there and jam out with them. This was such a fun addition to the wedding and we loved every minute of it!

Louis Pettinelli Entertainment has musical ensembles that range from a soloist to a 15 piece party band, and everything in between!

I was blown away by the talent of the musicians, they really take their craft seriously. I requested a Roaring Twenties theme from Louis Pettinelli and they went above and beyond to make it happen. The singer Karlea was phenomenal and did an amazing job of keeping our guests engaged and entertained. The musicians were all courteous, professional, and exceptionally talented. They dressed appropriately for our wedding theme and many of the guests at the Hawthorne Hotel wanted to take pictures with Karlea in her Twenties attire. In addition to being a wonderful experience, they were also a great value for the price. These are top quality musicians and we paid a reasonable price for the band. I highly recommend this group for your wedding.

Felix & Fingers was the best addition to my wedding! We had a BLAST. It’s the best mix between a live band and sing along karaoke (but you don’t want your uncle to get the mic, you know?). They did beautiful ceremony music, incredible sax jazz during cocktail hour to keep it classy. Then, they kept everyone engaged and entertained for the reception, from my aunt in a walker to my college friends twerking. We danced the night away but lost our voices from screaming along with the songs too. 10/10 you can’t go wrong with dueling pianos - DJs and wedding bands are out, Felix & Fingers is IN!

636 Entertainment, LLC.

  • DJ
  • Starts at $699
  • Serves Monroe, LA

636 Entertainment LLC is an entertainment company located in Crossett, AR that provides open-format DJ services. I specialize in catering to various events by changing my music style to match the atmosphere. I take into account your preferences and get to know each couple they work with to provide a fully customized playlist. My approach is flexible, allowing me to improvise and keep the party going.

Trey made the process so easy right from the beginning. We had a planning call where we told him all about ourselves and our hopes for our wedding reception, and he explained how to use the Vibo app to fill out a detailed questionnaire and upload our favorite songs straight from Spotify! On the day of, Trey arrived early to set up, sound check, etc, and run through the timeline with us in detail. He served as MC the whole night, keeping us on track with first dance, dinner, toasts (he has a great mic set-up), cake-cutting, and then of course, a long night of dancing! His packages include crystal-clear sound, dance lighting, and even an optional photo booth that lets the user text/email their photos (but Trey also provided us with a link to the entire gallery online). Finally, he stayed much later than we had originally planned because everyone was still dancing. Overall just a perfect experience--and very reasonable priced! 10/10 would recommend!!!

DJ Triplicate 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $550
  • Serves Monroe, LA for additional fees
  • Offer

Two decades of experience as a professional working DJ? ✅ Perfect review scores, and 100% of clients satisfied? ✅ Unrivaled technical skill, impeccable musical taste, professional presentation? ✅ Nice to meet you, I’m DJ Triplicate and first let me just say, you look amazing. How are you? If you want the very best in DJ services for your wedding ceremony/reception look no further! I’m him. It’s me. If you ask anyone, ever, in the history of time who the best wedding DJ is, they will say me.* Dance floor lighting: ✅ Venue Uplighting: ✅ 360 photobooth: ✅ Stage Special FX: ✅ Don’t hesitate to reach out! *depends on who you ask

Even in 2024, booking vendors for a gay wedding can be stressful. You never know if you are going to be met with animosity simply for requesting their services, and sometimes seeking out services that cater to gay weddings can be intentionally overpriced due to their rarity. I browsed through Zola, but I could not find a way to filter for lgbt friendly vendors, but googling DJ Triplicate and finding his storefront allowed me to book him. 5/5 A communication, and performance! He responded instantly every time we reached out, and was always quick with a suggestion, or solution any time any obstacle presented itself. Thank you!
