RTH9 Entertainment 
Rating: 5.0 (3 reviews)
  • Production company
  • Starts at $500
  • 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.”

“Our venue didn’t allow live bands, so we worked with Second Song to book a DJ and a saxophonist — and they absolutely nailed it. We were incredibly specific with our music preferences and DJ personality (including needing someone bilingual in Spanish for our multicultural crowd). Rob was amazing — he sent us five DJs who fit our vibe perfectly, and we got to speak with each one before choosing. We went with John McGrath as our DJ and he was phenomenal. He met with us multiple times before the wedding to understand our very detailed vision and gave us total confidence that he’d “read the room” — which he did, flawlessly. The sax player brought a ton of energy, and together they kept the dance floor alive all night, which is exactly what we wanted”

“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”

“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.”

“They say a dream is a wish your heart makes, and Erica was truly a dream to have at my wedding, not only as a musician, but as a warm and kind presence. The very first time I spoke with Erica I just fell in love with her warmth, kindness, professionalism and confidence. We laughed so much on the first call I knew immediately I had to hire her. After the call, my fiancé said that musician you spoke with made you so happy you better just hurry up and hire her. I never even spoke to another musician…I knew none could even come close to Erica. I hired Erica in July for my December Disney wedding. I never felt rushed, overwhelmed or anything stressful. Erica is so kind, her voice is ethereal and she knows how to read a room. She even recommended an amazing officiant to me when I was struggling to find one. Erica was the hit of my wedding, when she started singing to open the ceremony a bird flew up to her, perched next to her and sang with her. Even the bird wanted to be close to her and felt her kindness. This was the most beautiful moment and my guests are still talking about it. I wanted a Disney/Christmas wedding theme and Erica delivered in every aspect. She was also beautifully dressed and looked gorgeous (nobody wants sloppy vendors lol). Erica created the perfect atmosphere by intertwining romantic Disney music as well as Christmas songs. Erica made the wedding a dream come true. The fact that she is well known also helps, as most vendors and venues love working with her. She learned a few new songs for me and worked seamlessly with my other vendors to create the perfect, yes absolutely perfect, day. Thank you Erica! You are a true star!”

Our talented and professional musicians have performed regularly with touring and recording artists including Shakira, Ricky Martin, Paul Anka, Gloria Estefan, D'Angelo and Pitbull, as well as working and touring with numerous Broadway shows.

“We first saw the Bay Kings Band perform at a wedding in Nov. 2022, and it was then that we knew we wanted a live band to play at our reception when we got married. When we started wedding planning in 2025, we decided to check out the Bay Kings Band at one of their showcases. Billy, the producer, approached us early on in the evening and started getting to know us. After watching them perform that night, we decided to look no further. Billy was our primary point of contact and was incredibly easy to work with. He was quick to respond whenever we reached out and made the planning process easy. He also made a concerted effort to get to know us and our personal music tastes in the months leading up to the wedding. During our final planning call about 2 weeks before the wedding, we went over our must play list, do not play list, and the songs we wanted played during various events (grand entrance, last song, etc.). We’ll admit that we presented Billy with several challenges, in that many of our do not plays were songs they probably play all the time at weddings (mostly line dances, Bruno Mars, Single Ladies, etc). We also were not going to have any formal dances, and we had no opinions on what we wanted played during the other events that night. Billy did a great job at talking us through options as well as getting a feel for what our guests might enjoy. On the night of our wedding, Billy and the Bay Kings Band absolutely slayed it. We had so many guests come up to us that night raving about how great the vibes were thanks to the band’s energy, set list choices, and each person’s talent. The dance floor was packed full the entire night, without a single line dance played. It also helped that they played several numbers from the Shrek and Shrek 2 soundtracks, which we assured Billy previously would go over VERY well with our crowd. They also threw in a few little surprises just for us that made our night all the more special. In addition to being wildly talented, each person from the band we spoke to was incredibly kind and gracious. We absolutely loved each and every member of the band present that night and will be forever grateful for all they did to make our wedding the best night of our lives. Do it. Hire them. You will not regret it. And be sure to include a saxophonist!”

“When looking for a band for a multicultural wedding, we knew they had to be special. Just the Melody was the first band we reached out to and it was clear from the onset that we didn’t have to look any further because we knew they were the ones. Throughout the entire experience, Melody and Edvin were an absolute dream to work with. They were incredibly responsive and took the planning process seriously while also keeping it fun. We were able to have multiple planning meetings where they clearly listened to our vision and more specifically the energy we were hoping to bring to the entire evening. Our wedding included multiple different musical moments that Just the Melody was able to provide with aplomb. The ceremony was romantic instrumental music that transitioned to modern pop instrumentals during the first half of the cocktail hour. Then a Mariachi band took over the second half of the cocktail hour with Melody providing gorgeous vocals for a few songs before the 12-piece band took over the magic for the rest of the night. The band with Edvin as MC matched the energy of our guests the entire night in a way we never expected. After our first dance, a beautiful rendition of Luis Miguel’s”Por Debajo De La Mesa”, the band moved right into a wondrous lineup of Latin music including Cumbia, Bachata, and Salsa that got our guests up and on their feet. From that point forward the dancing was nonstop with both American and Latin music filling the air. They also helped us celebrate the joining of our Jewish and Latino cultures by playing the Hora followed by La Vibora De La Mar. Edvin and Melody worked well with our venue to time our fathers’ speeches when our guests paused for a moment to eat and they were thoughtful with the tempo of the night by pairing this with our father/bride and mother/groom dances. After dinner they brought the energy right back up and we even got to see some of Edvin’s unreal dance moves when the 90s/2000s pop music started up. We could absolutely not believe it when they allowed us to come on stage and belt out one of our favorite songs (Jimmy Eat World’s “The Middle”). It was a living dream (especially for the bride). We cannot say enough how much both of us and all of our guests absolutely adored Just the Melody. We have been told multiple times by our guests that they didn't expect to go to a concert along with our wedding and that they loved every minute of it. And we did too. The music the entire evening was exceptional and better than anything we could have come up with in our wildest dreams for the evening. Thank you Melody, Edvin and the entire Just the Melody crew - we could not have chosen better for our wedding!!”

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!”

  • Serves Monticello, FL

You’ve seen wedding bands before. But you’ve never seen one like us. Our wedding nights are, in a word, unforgettable. We specialize in epic dance hits, teary-eyed singalongs, and everything in between. Book us for your event and you'll get our award-winning Boston Wedding Band & DJ combo, PLUS our professional sound and stage lighting system at one simple rate, with absolutely NO overtime charges. We travel all over New England and beyond, so when you’re ready for our industry-leading talent and a game-changing event package all at one affordable wedding band price, we’re ready to celebrate with you.

“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!”

DJ Grateful Dan

  • DJ

  • 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.

“We could not have asked for a better DJ for our wedding! From the first conversation, DJ Grateful Dan made us feel like we were in good hands. He took the time to understand the kind of night we wanted and somehow managed to turn all of our ideas into a reception that felt completely natural and uniquely ours. The dance floor was packed all night, and the transitions between songs were fantastic. He has a real talent for reading the room. He knew when to keep things moving, when to switch things up, and when to give everyone a chance to catch their breath. His personality also added so much to the night. He was fun and engaging without ever making himself the center of attention. What really stood out to us was how professional and prepared he was. Everything was handled smoothly, communication was easy, and we never once had to worry about what was happening behind the scenes. Finding the right DJ can be surprisingly difficult, and we feel incredibly lucky that we found him. If you're looking for someone who brings great music, great energy, and a truly professional approach to your wedding, DJ Grateful Dan is absolutely worth talking to. He helped make our reception a night we'll never forget!”

“Marlon with Go DJ ATL was a wonderful vendor who clearly has plenty of experience in his field. He can read a room at a moment’s notice and keep a party vibe going with a variety of musical styles. I can testify considering our wedding blended White and Latin families and loved ones together while managing to get everyone out on the dance floor having a great time! He played salsa, merengue, bachata, line dances, country, oldies, classical, folk all in one event but at different points! Marlon lights up a room without taking attention away from the guests of honor but rather makes sure he directs the spotlight to the couple making them feel special. He is truly a one of a kind professional with a passion for his trade who wants to make sure your day is as special as the love you share with one another. Marlon, you’ve become a friend one the course of this past year; thank you for everything and for all the attention to detail you made sure to cover. I’m so grateful we had you at our event. I know it wouldn’t have been the same or nearly as successful without you!”
