“Justing was a fantastic DJ! We gave him a short list of must-plays then let him do the rest, and he was great at reading the room and playing what the people wanted. He took requests from guests if they fit the vibe and was totally okay saying no too which is exactly what we wanted. We even had some guests asking for his playlist before the night was over. He brought tons of speakers and lights, and even some wireless speakers to play the same music in multiple rooms, including outside on the deck for cocktail hour. Everything went off without a hitch. We also got the photo booth add-on which ended up getting a ton of use and people loved it. Sawyer was manning the booth and 5 stars to him as well!”

“Wedding advice: hire Cover Story Entertainment! We worked with CSE for our July wedding. We went with the ceremony package, 6-piece band as well as their uplighting and photo booth services. Our experience with CSE from start to finish was 10/10. Chris and Elena are incredibly organized, communicative, and responsive. They always answered all of our questions (and I asked many!) Alec, Alex, Savannah, and the rest of the band members rocked it all night. One of the first things guests commented on about our wedding was how amazing the band was. One of our guests commented that they wish they could cancel their DJ and fly CSE to their wedding in Portugal because they loved them so much. Extremely talented musicians for an awesome price, which make a huge difference when wedding planning. When we reflect on our wedding day, Cover Story is a huge part of what made it such a memorable night. -MK AJ Dunne”

“We hired Intrinsic Groove to perform at our wedding in April 2026 and it was nothing short of INCREDIBLE. We watched a lot of videos and felt confident they were going to be great, but they far exceeded our expectations. They were high energy, crowd engaging, phenomenal performers who met the vibe every single time. Vocals were KILLER. So many of our guests said it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to and I credit a lot of that to the energy the band brought. On top of a killer reception, they also did incredible ceremony and cocktail hour music that made everything flow harmoniously. You just can’t beat a killer band for your wedding, worth every penny! Highly recommend “Like a Prayer” by Madonna to get all generations singing along!! Photo Credit to our epic photographer, Victoria of An Endless Pursuit”

“We had Daniel as our DJ for our wedding last week, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for anyone better. From the very beginning, he was so easy to work with — relaxed, professional, and incredibly organized. His music platform made it simple for us to curate our ideal wedding playlist, and he took the time to really understand our vision — what we loved, what we didn’t, and the overall vibe we wanted for the day. In the weeks leading up to the wedding, Daniel was so communicative and made sure we felt completely comfortable and confident before the big day. He even provided microphones for our ceremony (even though we had a string quartet for our ceremony and cocktail hour) and had the perfect lighting setup for the dance floor, which added so much energy to the night. And when it came time to dance — the dance floor was packed all night long. He read the crowd perfectly, kept the momentum going, and played music that truly reflected us. We loved that he wasn’t heavy on the mic; he let the music speak for itself and created such an amazing atmosphere. Our guests are still raving about how great the DJ was! Daniel went above and beyond in every way, and we’re so grateful to him for making our night unforgettable. We can’t recommend him highly enough — if you’re looking for a DJ who genuinely cares, listens, and absolutely delivers, Daniel is your guy!”

Before we even had a venue or date set I was 1000% sure that Jimmy was a priority, because music makes or breaks a wedding!! Not only does Jimmy have the ability to read the room and truly entertain the audience in front of him, he also is genuinely the nicest and most caring person ever.

Ripcord is comprised of Boston-based musicians who have played together in various cover, wedding and original bands over the past decade. This experience enables the group to consistently deliver a perfect blend of hits from all genres; jazz standards, funk, R&B, soul, top 40, country, classic & modern rock… even that new indie tune you just heard on the radio. Ripcord's diversity is impressive; however, it'll likely be the remarkable accuracy, energy, and feel with which they perform that will blow you away.

“Ripcord made planning our wedding so easy. They got back to us quickly through email and we were able to meet with us several times before the big day to make sure everything was perfect. What really stood out was how accommodating they were—they even let my father-in-law perform one song with the band, which was such a special moment for our family. The music they played was incredible and honestly, our guests haven't stopped talking about it since the wedding. We couldn't have asked for a better band to keep the energy going all night. Highly recommend them if you want your reception to be a hit.”

“Pete Chambers Entertainment was an absolute pleasure to work at the wedding. His communication was clear, understanding, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. He is a true problem-solver, anticipating any issues and working with the vendors and wedding couple to find the best solutions. I worked as a violinist along with Pete for parts of the ceremony and also for some dinner music with an incredible saxophonist. Pete’s equipment was top notch and our music sounded spectacular on his system! The quality of his work was highly impressive, and Pete delivered an amazing experience for all guests that kept the dance floor packed all night long for all ages in attendance. I would highly recommend Pete Chambers Entertainment to any couple looking for a top-notch wedding entertainment and DJ service.”

“My husband and I used Direct Entertainment for our DJ and videographer for our wedding and we could not be more pleased!! The team was professional, great at communication, very kind and professional, and they helped make our day absolutely perfect! Jeff, our DJ kept the dance floor alive ALL NIGHT!! When the music had to stop at the end of the night, the dance floor was still completely full and no one wanted it to end. He did a great job announcing the events of the night, made sure that our ceremony music was perfect, and he stuck to our wedding playlist with the exception for a couple guest requests (which we were happy to allow). We were so happy and thankful to have Jeff there! Sie, our videographer also did a wonderful job! We have not yet received our video as our wedding was less than 2 weeks ago, but I already know it is going to be amazing. He was so great with communication, was prompt with his timing, and he even set up a second camera for guests to break away and give us well wishes for our marriage, which I'm so excited to watch back. He was very professional and wonderful to work with. We decided to add videography at the last minute because we thought we might regret not having it, and I am SO happy we asked Jim at Direct Entertainment if they had someone available for our day just a month before, and they did!! Jim, the coordinator at Direct Entertainment frequently checked in with us, asked us questions about ourselves, and genuinely made us feel like he cared about us and our special day. He was great to work with leading up to being assigned our designated DJ and videographer, and even after, he checked in to make sure we were happy and that all of the planning was going well. Overall, we would 1000% recommend Direct Entertainment for any wedding entertainment needs! I know they also offer several other services that we did not utilize, and I'm sure they are wonderful as well! Photos courtesy of Lang at Wandering Wolf Photography.”

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 worked with Paul for our January wedding. Originally, I was going to just create a playlist (I was having little to no formalities) until I saw he commented on a Connecticut Bride Facebook Group. Figured a DJ will give me one less thing to worry about, so I inquired and he immediately responded, provided a quick quote, and we set up our first meeting. He just made everything so easy! We had two one-hour long meetings to clearly identify our vision. My father passed a few years ago and we did many things to honor him at the party- signature cocktail, my sister spoke about him in her speech, his two best friends gave a combined toast on his behalf, but what made me really feel my dad was celebrated and “there in spirit” was when Paul intentionally played my dad’s favorite song prior to the first speech. It almost felt like that was my dad’s speech/toast to us. Family and friends picked up on Paul’s placement of my dad’s favorite song and commented that they were moved by it too. It was the only point of the night I got emotional. Paul really cares about his work and the people he works with. I’ve been to a handful of weddings where DJs play the couple’s Do Not playlist and just treats every wedding the same. I seriously can’t recommend Paul more.”

And even if you don't know if you love swing music - if you are looking for a band that can get your toes tapping and get everyone out there on the dance floor - young and old - this is the band for you. I can't recommend them enough!”

“DJ Brian was the absolute best! We have been to so many weddings since our own, and almost everyone who was in attendance at ours comes up to us complimenting how amazing our DJ was. Brian was professional, kind, patient, and so fun to work with. As a couple who procrastinated every step of the wedding planning process, we came across Larger Than Life Entertainment 3 weeks before the wedding... Brian was quick to respond and hopped on multiple phone calls with us to give a rundown of everything he offered, his style, and even examples of songs and music he likes to play to get the dance floor going. He made the process smooth and stress-free. I can't say enough AMAZING things but if any part of you is considering booking DJ Brian all I can say is do it, you won't reget it!!”

“I've never worked with a DJ as good as Drew and his crew. Drew had sent me an email a few weeks before the couples wedding with the reception timeline (a first) and kept me up-to-date with any last minute changes the day of. It is clear by working with Drew how much he loves his job and how much he cares about the couples he works with. He got the crowd going, the dance floor was always packed and he invited the couple up to DJ booth which was so fun for them and also amazing for pictures. If you are looking for a DJ who cares, gets the dance floor going and is easy to work with, BEG Event Group is it. I will be recommending them to all my clients!”

“We hired Brick Park for our wedding in July 2026, and it was truly one of the best decisions we made! From the very first time we saw them perform in Boston, we knew they would be the perfect fit for our wedding. Throughout the entire planning process, Julian was incredibly communicative, helpful, and easy to work with. He performed live during our ceremony and cocktail hour, followed by the full four-piece band with Christianne, Jinsoo, and Jon for our reception—and every single band member absolutely delivered. Our guests were on the dance floor all night, and we had so many people ask us for their information afterward. They brought such an incredible energy to our wedding and made the night so much fun. I cannot recommend Brick Park enough if you’re looking for an amazing wedding band and a guaranteed great time. They were absolutely phenomenal!”

Imagine your guests entering the space and being greeted not by a playlist, but by the warmth of live piano and vocal music that instantly sets the emotional tone and signals that every detail of your day has been thoughtfully curated. Jonathan specializes in luxury weddings and private events, offering live piano and vocals with a repertoire spanning classical selections, modern love songs, jazz standards, and timeless arrangements that feel intimate, polished, and timeless.

“We really wanted live music throughout our whole wedding day! From the ceremony to cocktail hour to first dance, Jonathan enthralled our guest with an amazing voice and he is really talented on the keys. We requested 1000 years for our first dance, and his custom arrangement was really unique. We were able to practice our choreo with it because he recorded it professionally and sent it to us ahead of time. From day one, he was super professional, accommodating and asked all the right questions to understand our vision. Having live piano elevated our wedding and our guests really noticed!”
