“Where can I even begin? Alex wasn’t just our dj, he pretty much helped us create a timeline for our entire day. He was our host, support system and truly helped us throw the best celebration. Our guests LOVED him they are still talking about how awesome our DJ was. For months, we jumped on calls to perfect the experience we wanted and Alex was so incredibly supportive the entire time. A week before our wedding we had to change our wedding and he was one of the first people we called. Within minutes he had lists of places to call. When we figured out a new venue he did everything he could to become familiar with the new space and the owner. We arrived to the reception with our vendors all knowing eachother like they were friends all along - it was so unified like one family coming together. Alex was the glue that made our event as magical as it was. There truly isn’t anyone like him we are forever grateful.”

Awarded Best of Zola
“If you're looking for a wedding DJ, I cannot recommend Fidel enough! From the very beginning, he was organized, professional, and genuinely invested in making our wedding day exactly what we envisioned. Before the wedding, we had three video calls to go over every detail. He also created a shared Google Doc where we could easily organize everything he needed to know, from our ceremony processional songs, cocktail hour and dinner playlists, bridal party entrance songs, must-play songs, and even a list of songs we absolutely did not want played. The entire planning process was seamless and made us feel confident that every detail was covered. Fidel also provided all of the audio equipment for our outdoor ceremony, including speakers and microphones for our officiant and my cousin, who sang during the ceremony. One of the most thoughtful things he did was help with my processional song. I had chosen a song that didn't have an instrumental version anywhere. Instead of telling me it wasn't possible, he created a custom instrumental version so my cousin could practice singing with it before the wedding. That meant so much to me and is something I'll never forget. On the wedding day, Fidel absolutely delivered. He transitioned smoothly through every part of the day and kept the reception flowing effortlessly. He took song requests throughout the night while still staying true to the vibe we wanted, and I especially appreciated that he played clean versions of songs earlier in the reception since we had a lot of younger cousins celebrating with us. The dance floor stayed full, the energy never dropped, and everyone had an amazing time. In fact, the very next day, every person I asked about the wedding immediately commented on how great the music was. That says everything. You can truly tell that Fidel loves what he does, and it shows in every part of his work. He went above and beyond in ways we never expected, and because of him our ceremony and reception were absolutely perfect. If you're considering hiring him, don't hesitate, you won't regret it!”

“Bill and John did a wonderful job for mine and my Husbands special day. From the very first phone call, Bill was very informative and reassuring that they would get the job done to fit our vision. They even came to the rehearsal (small extra cost) to make sure all music cues were exactly how I wanted them which was great as many DJs had told me “no.” It really helped ease my nerves knowing things were well executed and ran through the day before. Throughout the planning process, Bill was very responsive to any questions I had via email or extra phone calls. I did have a change I added in last minute so our dog could be apart of reception announcements and they didn’t even flinch at the last minute change of plans. They nailed it. They played great songs, surprised us with a gift after our first dance, and even kept bringing my girls and I fans cause they had us dancing all night. We cannot thank both Bill and John enough for helping us execute our big day! -The O’Havers”

The level of professionalism, talent, and care was impressive and it’s abundantly clear that this is more of an experience than just hiring a band playing at your special day or event. The rarest part about them is they personalize everything to your needs and taste which is very hard to find within this industry! Hindsight 20/20, having them at our wedding would have taken away the headache and extra guesswork of planning this integral part of our whole day. Moving forward, I will be hiring them for our big life events in the future.”

  • Ceremony only

We are a distinguished female-powered collective comprised of talented classically trained musicians. We’re here to provide the most creative and professional services available with some of the finest trained musicians known for their ability to perform exceptional music from classical to contemporary. We will transform any song list with the beauty and intensity of string instrumentation that will add an unforgettable spark.

“We are so glad we went with Midtown Strings for our wedding ceremony and reception! It was important to us that we support women-owned businesses and Midtown Strings came highly recommended (our wedding planner even used them!). They have an extensive repertoire and are willing to perform songs not on their repertoire at additional cost. Their repertoire was more than enough and truly included every song we could want including a video game song that the bride wanted to walk down the aisle to. We wanted a Bridgerton-type vibe at our reception and the musicians did an excellent job at that! They were so professional and responsive. We would recommend Midtown Strings to any couple getting married!”

“We cannot say enough good things about DJ Live! From our very first phone call with Richie, I knew he had the exact energy we wanted for our wedding. Richie gives off such positive, contagious enthusiasm — the kind every wedding, and any event, would be lucky to have! From our ceremony to our private last dance of the night, Richie and his team made the entire experience seamless, fun, and truly unforgettable. Richie took the time to really understand what we wanted and the overall vibe we were going for, and it showed. On the day of, he and his DJ read the room perfectly, keeping the energy high from start to finish. Our dance floor was pure joy from the first song until the very last — even family members who "don't dance" were out there having the time of their lives, including my 90-year-old grandma! Beyond the talent, Richie was incredibly communicative and flexible throughout the entire planning process. He was quick to respond to every email and question, and he happily worked with us as we added, changed, and rearranged our requests along the way. Whether it was adjusting the timeline, fitting in our trivia game and Pokeball toss, or accommodating a private last dance, Richie made it all feel easy and stress-free. He never made us feel like an inconvenience — just excited to help bring our vision to life. Every transition throughout the night — first dance, dinner, speeches, the dance set, trivia game — went smoothly and was executed flawlessly by Richie. His MC skills struck that perfect balance of warm, fun energy, all while knowing exactly how to work the crowd. What really set Richie and DJ Live apart was how genuinely they cared about giving us the best night possible — it showed in every song choice and every moment they helped bring to life. We truly cannot thank Richie and his team from DJ Live enough. Their talent, energy, and care in making our night perfect exceeded every expectation we had. If you're looking for a DJ who will turn your wedding into the best night ever and execute your vision flawlessly, DJ Live is the way to go! Thank you, Richie, for giving us a night we'll never forget!”
