The husband and I just got married earlier this month and we had the pleasure of hosting our celebration with DJ Wil as head entertainer of our event, and we could not be more thrilled with how the party turned out. DJ Wil did an impeccable job not only as a DJ but also as an emcee, which we feel is is so, so, SO hard to find these days. All the props to him because we were some of the pickiest people you could probably run into these days. First, we had some untraditional choices for our processional and recessional (i.e. Nujabes and Moguai, lol) and he had no issues with either of them, and had all of the songs ready when we came to our DJ meeting. He was also able to cut and mix whatever parts of songs we liked for other memorable moments like the cake cutting and speeches, and what we liked was he's also able to use his own judgement and expertise when suggesting the timing and vibe of certain songs as well. Second of all, we threw some wedding trivia at him so he could release our tables to the buffet lines and he did a STELLAR job at not only quickly and efficiently running through the questions, but also engaging the audience by walking around the tables, and memorizing the questions and the answers. He didn't just stand at the DJ booth and read off of papers, he was participating with the crowd and it absolutely made the experience 100% better. His introduction of the bridal party, as well as special guests and visitors from other parts of the country was also great, and we feel as though his energy level was perfect. Finally, our "do NOT play" list was probably filled with some of the most popular wedding songs you could think of - they are probably what you'd find in most people's wedding playlist and for DJ Wil to work around that and still keep our dance floor moving non-stop (bride, groom, bridal party - we were up on our feet until the grand exit!) has got to say something. He did an absolutely amazing job at feeling the crowd and his song choices were on point. We said no to line dances, mostly no to 85% of the songs on the radio these days, and like to keep it 2000's and 90's hip hop/R&B and some EDM to end the night. DJ Wil definitely followed through. There was only 1 song change requested, and when it was brought to his attention, he transitioned it out like an absolute pro -- the track was gone in no time, but the transition was smooooooth. And speaking of transitions, there were NO awkward transitions to be found AT ALL this evening and that is something I would be darn proud to say. My wedding had kick *** music, which is also the feedback I've received from several guests, and it's all thanks to DJ Wil. (side note: we were guests at 2 weddings the week following our own and you truly don't know what you have until it's gone--the DJ's at these other 2 weddings only made us appreciate DJ Wil even MORE. No joke, they were rude, telling guests what to do, yelling at guests to be quiet, talking over people's speeches, just "pushing play" i.e. all you see is a macbook at the DJ booth, HORRIBLE at feeling the crowd and playing the absolute WORST songs at the WORST times i.e. wtf I can't dance to this song what are you thinking.... ugh seriously DJ Wil was amazing and we couldn't have had a better DJ. If you want to avoid any of these thoughts during your own wedding, do yourself a favor: book DJ Wil, and be specific in what you want and do not want when it comes to your music!)

Hi! We're Restless Vocal Band - award-winning, high energy, a cappella from the Greater Seattle Area. We're all the fun of a cover band but with voices only. Our set list spans decades of music, from the 1940's through today, and covers a vast amount of genres: Motown, Doowop, pop, rock, jazz, R&B, rap and even a little country.

Awarded Best of Zola
Restless performed an amazing three song r&b set at our wedding. Jordyn and Sean especially are such great vocalists, and I'm still in awe of how the rest of the group makes incredible instrumentation with just their voices. In addition to their perfect performance, they were fantastic to work with. We asked them to send demos of the songs before the performance and they did so without any complaints or reservations (and, again, sounded great). They arrived early on the day of the performance and we never had to worry at all about their professionalism. We looked at almost acapella group in the Northwest before booking Restless, and we are so happy that we decided to work with them. We can't recommend them enough.

DJ Demchuk (Daniel) did an absolutely amazing job during our wedding! The dance floor was bumping all night and we got SO many compliments on how good the music was, including from our older guests. Both the CA team and Daniel himself were super professional, kind, and communicative to work with throughout the planning process and during the night itself. We asked for some edits to our first dance song and Daniel made it happen flawlessly. He also sent us a full track list from the wedding within a few days so we can relive the party over and over. We could not have been happier with how everything turned out, and would recommend this DJ to anyone looking!

DJ Nate Murray is a consummate professional. He met with my wife and I before the wedding, gave us helpful and knowledgeable advice, and listened to our concerns. During the wedding reception he played the songs we requested for the first and second dance, and then (as agreed upon before) went into a playlist of songs he had arranged for the occasion, all of which were well-chosen and helped set an appropriately festive and easy-going mood. He interacted well with the guests, and set the right tone for the occasion. In short, I give him my highest recommendation.

Bassist and bandleader Josh Levine got his start in the professional music business busking in SoHo with The Flying Neutrinos in ’93, so when NYC shut down in Spring of 2020, he capitalized on his experience as a street performer and began to play regularly in the parks of NYC with percussionist and sonero, Jainardo Batista, renowned flutist Itai Kriss making his debut on Cuban trés guitar, and María Raquel on vocals and minor percussion. Before long, the quartet had generated some buzz, several venues hired them to play outdoors and pianist Gabriel Chakarji and Grammy winning flutist and vocalist Jeremy Bosch became staples of the group.

Cuarteto Guataca is AMAZING. Every single member of this group is an absolute joy to work with, and their talent is beyond words! Cuarteto was our wedding band, and I don’t think anyone sat down the entire reception! Hire them now!!

Before taking the stage to rock out in front of thousands or throwing parties of his own, the love & passion for music started at an early age. The connection to the power of music has always been intriguing. Starting out as a hobby & something fun to do, turned into much more! P KNOCK has mastered the art of providing a custom experience at all events with good music that engages the crowd. Whether the nightclub, wedding, or music festival, you can rest assured that P KNOCK will engage his crowd & have people dancing! With 8 plus years of djing & growing up in a family of avid music lovers, the music is life testament is true mantra.

I would highly recommend Dj P KNOCK! He was very responsive, timely, professional, and he kept the party going as soon as it started. I do not think the guest stayed seated the entire night and he kept it going all the way until the end. He listened to my clients request and went above and beyond to provide exceptional service. Dj P KNOCK.....is the best DJ ever! I cannot wait to work together again.
