RTH9 Entertainment 
Rating: 5.0 (3 reviews)
  • Production company
  • Serves Monticello, FL

I became a DJ because I love creating moments where people feel free, present, and fully alive. When the right song drops at the right time, it can change the entire mood of a room, bring people together, and turn an event into an unforgettable experience. I’m passionate about DJing because no two events are the same. Every crowd has its own rhythm, and I take pride in reading the room, blending styles, and delivering music that feels natural, intentional, and exciting. DJing isn’t just what I do , it’s how I serve the energy of the room and help people celebrate life.

“From day one, RTH9 Entertainment made the planning process painless with their quick and helpful responses to every question we threw their way. The DJ showed up with flawless mixes and seamless blends that kept our guests dancing all night long—the production quality was elite. What really impressed us was how well they worked with our other vendors to make sure everything ran smoothly on the day of the wedding. The energy and professionalism they brought to our reception took our celebration to the next level. If you're looking for a top-notch DJ who actually cares about making your day special, RTH9 Entertainment is the real deal. We couldn't have asked for a better experience.”

“We are still on a high from our wedding! If you want a dance floor that stays packed from start to finish, you need to book DJ Olu. We were a bit nervous about how to blend our Latin heritage with a love for Country, but Olu made it look effortless. We would recommend DJ Olu to literally anyone seeking a wedding DJ. He is a true professional who actually cares about the vibe of your big day. Best decision we made!”

“We had a great experience with Second Song! Planning was super easy with the Rob team during the 9ish months leading up to our wedding. On our wedding day, DJ Shredy was THE ICON of the night. We had built the playlist for the pre-ceremony, ceremony, cocktail hour and dinner, and he very much followed that our wishes. We really appreciated that because music is a huge part of our relationship. He was also very responsive over email and phone. He had a great personality on the day and was the perfect blend of an MC who was communicative but not overly on top of the mic. During the dance party portion of the evening, he rightfully threw in choices of his own that we hadn't thought of and I am so glad he did. He brought life to the party and we have gotten compliments since our wedding night about how much fun everyone had and how perfect the dance floor was. We are so grateful to him and the Second Song team. Thank you!”

At Sweet Harmony, we love what we do! To us, it is a beautiful thing when we are playing music that helps you to feel the special moments of your life. We've grown fast since our founding in 2008, and Sweet Harmony now serves weddings across the United States with fine local musicians. As owner and pianist, I hold certain core values that inspire my work with our customers and our relationships in the professional world: honesty, teamwork, friendliness, strength, service, efficiency, and a commitment to excellence. Our musicians typically hold advanced degrees in music and care genuinely about bringing you the beauty of live performance!

Awarded Best of Zola
“Our wedding on January 17, 2026, at The Wave Hotel in Orlando, Florida, felt like a living fairytale. The soul-stirring music of Sweet Harmony was the heartbeat that made every moment unforgettable. From our very first Zoom call to the final shimmering notes that lingered in the warm Florida evening air, this quartet didn’t just perform; they transformed our day into pure magic! Planning a destination wedding can be overwhelming, but Sweet Harmony made it effortless and joyful. Kasia Dolinska was an absolute dream to work with, warm, brilliantly organized, and genuinely excited about our vision. Her quick responses, thoughtful suggestions, and deep understanding of how music shapes emotion took all the stress out of the process. Their pricing was not only competitive but an incredible value for the level of talent and professionalism we received. We were especially blown away by their vast, beautifully curated song list; everything from timeless classics to modern indie favorites, which let us create a playlist that felt completely, authentically “us.” My musician husband even had the chance to discuss possibly performing alongside them, and Kasia’s enthusiasm made us feel like true collaborators rather than just clients. On the wedding day, Sweet Harmony arrived perfectly on time, elegantly dressed in classic black, adding an air of refined sophistication to our outdoor garden ceremony. But it was their sound that left us breathless. Rich, vibrant, and impossibly crisp, every note floated on the gentle breeze like liquid gold, wrapping our guests in warmth, romance, and pure joy. You could feel the emotion in the air, smiles widened, eyes glistened, and people swayed gently as the music wrapped around us like a loving embrace. The seamless transition from ceremony to cocktail hour was flawless: they simply turned their chairs and continued playing without missing a single beat, keeping the elegant atmosphere flowing effortlessly as guests mingled and celebrated. The absolute pinnacle of our day, a moment we still get chills thinking about, was their breathtaking rendition of “Turning Page” by Sleeping At Last during our processional, walking hand in hand down the aisle. The music was delicate, light, resonant, and so deeply moving that I instinctively slowed my steps, wanting to savor every exquisite note. It felt like the entire world paused; the strings poured out love, hope, and forever in a way that words can never capture. That single piece turned the beginning of our forever into something transcendent. We can’t wait to relive it in our wedding video. If you’re dreaming of a wedding that feels intimate, elegant, and emotionally unforgettable, Sweet Harmony is the only choice! Their extraordinary talent, heartfelt passion, and flawless professionalism elevated our day in ways we never imagined possible. Kasia and the entire quartet truly gifted us the most beautiful, memorable day of our lives. We recommend them with every ounce of our hearts! They don’t just play music; they create magic! Thank-you! Más & Vin”

“We are still on a high from the most fun night of our lives all thanks to BeachNights band, Chris and DJ Connor!!! If you want to have music at your wedding that everyone will be talking about for years to come, book BeachNights for your reception and the DJ combo for your other music needs (ceremony, cocktail hour, afterparty). Booking BeachNights for all our music needs was the best decision we made for our wedding day. BeachNights far exceeded our expectations. Chris is so professional, organized, and easy to work with. They have so much experience in all types of venues; you will be glad you have a band who knows exactly what they need to do to put on a seamless performance. They keep the music process worry-free so you can focus on other aspects of wedding planning. A piece of unsolicited advice if I may, book BeachNights for everything: ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, afterparty. It was so much easier being able to talk to ONE person and coordinate all music through ONE group rather than having 4 music vendors involved in the planning process. They take time to learn about you as a couple, your music wants and needs, likes and dislikes so that every single song is exactly what you want and how you pictured your music on your wedding day. THANK YOU Chris and team for making our wedding dreams come true!”

“Ana Carita was an excellent wedding violinist for our special day. Her communication throughout the planning process was outstanding, she met with me several times to discuss what we were looking for. She truly listened to what my husband and I were looking for and delivered. The quality of her work and value was excellent as well. We provided her with a list of songs that we love as a couple, and played them beautifully during our reception. Ana was amazing and I wish I could get a clip of the songs she played on our wedding day. Overall, I highly recommend Ana Carita for any couple looking for an exceptional wedding violinist!”

DJ Grateful Dan 
Rating: 5.0 (5 reviews)
  • DJ
  • Starts at $900
  • Serves Monticello, FL

I’ve spent close to 30 years behind the decks and have DJ’d more than 1,500 weddings. I’ve worked traditional, multicultural, religious, themed weddings, as well as Bar and Bat Mitzvah, unconventional and wonderfully quirky celebrations, along with major corporate, political and private events. I love the challenge of bringing very different people together through music. Every event is different, and my job is to listen, understand what matters to you, build the right musical experience, and keep the reception moving naturally. I’m just as comfortable handling the formalities and microphone as I am taking over the dance floor when it’s time to party. Best of Bay Nominee - 2026

“We're GRATEFUL that we met Dan! He made our celebration SO MUCH FUN! He knows what to do, when to do it, and how to navigate tricky situations. Would hire him again, will always recommend him.”
