Justin did such an INCREDIBLE job at the wedding! A DJ can truly make or break an event, and he absolutely nailed it! He perfected everything we asked for, and he managed to keep everyone on the floor ALL NIGHT LONG! Everyone been raving about how amazing he was, and I can’t express how much we appreciated having him! We were kinda on the last minute side of contracting with him due to our prior DJ’s medical situation, but it truthfully was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding to have him there as our DJ. He couldn’t of been any better! The photo booth was a hit, he were a hit, the wedding was perfect! Definitely recommend for any DJ services, we’ll certainly be using him again in the future!

Awarded Best of Zola
We rented our audio guestbook for our wedding from Spike Events and it was a huge hit! The rotary phone looked so beautiful with the rest of our decor, and our guests had so much fun leaving us messages all night long. After the wedding, we were able to listen back to the recordings, make a couple of minor edits, and then they put all of the recordings on a custom vinyl for us! The vinyl has a custom sticker with our names and wedding date and location. It is the absolute best "guestbook" we could have asked for. We're so grateful that we worked with Spike Events to create this beautiful, fun keepsake!

Great service, exquisite music taste. I loved not having to worry about flow, introductions, or having fun on the dance floor. Drew was so communicative and sent lists and lists of song recommendations for every part of the wedding in order to alleviate some of the wedding planning stress. He was really able to read the dance floor and made dancing such a fun experience for all involved! Not to mention, his flexibility and willingness to incorporate my latin culture into the playlist. I would definitely work with them again for future parties.

Lindsay Straw: Singer & Acoustic Guitarist

4.9

Somerville, MA
  • Solo performer
  • Starts at $375

Mixing evocative Celtic songs with upbeat Americana folk and acoustic covers, Lindsay Straw delivers a soundtrack in a warm alto voice with intricate guitar and Irish bouzouki accompaniment. With over 250 weddings under her belt, she loves working with couples to provide the perfect folky playlist tailored to their tastes and needs. She provides her own sound gear and can accommodate new song requests. She's open to weddings all over New England.

Lindsay was beyond amazing, I can't say enough nice things about her and the special touch she brought to our wedding. Lindsay played during our ceremony and cocktail hour. First and foremost, she has the most beautiful and enchanting voice (we heard a sample and were hooked immediately). She was very easy to work with and so helpful throughout the entire process. Lindsay worked with us early on to get an idea of how she would best fit in and what we were looking for in terms of music choices. She provided guidance for the different songs that play during the ceremony and then what type of music she would play at the cocktail hour. We had so many guests come up to us asking about Lindsay and saying how wonderful she was and that she really made the ceremony special. I would recommend her over and over again and we look forward to seeing her at some of the other shows she plays around us! Thank you Lindsay!

My own wedding was my 4th SMP wedding and they get better every time!!! David is truly one of the best people to work with and his team is so upbeat and felt like true hype men the entire wedding.

DeeJay Tom

5.0

Billerica, MA
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,000

Customer service to my clients is #1 to me – the wedding is not about me, it’s about you, your friends and your family. Once I understand what you envision at your wedding, I’ll use my 20+ years of experience to make sure everyone has a great and unforgettable time. I become very much involved in the timing and management of the evening from the moment you book me.

We decided on a DJ instead of a band for a few practical reasons. It's cheaper, there's more variety in what he/she can play and therefore can appeal to a broader audience, and most importantly for us, a DJ takes up less space than a band. We thought about foregoing a professional altogether and just doing the iPod thing, but I was afraid that it would stress me out. For anyone else who has done the DJ search, there is LOT of cheese out there! I received a packet from this one guy with all kinds of crazy rainbow colors and smiley faces and frankly, his voice on the phone scared me. We wanted a low-key DJ, not a show-boat. Tom was perfect. He totally delivered! He wore a tux and looked great. Call me shallow but that's important - the DJ is in the background of quite a few of the photos. He was professional and knew what to play to make everyone happy. He also played all of the songs we asked him to, which is not always a given. The reception was non-stop dancing all night. We had a blast!

Elation Entertainment

5.0

Shirley, MA
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,499

Elation is defined as extreme, exhilarating joy, and the emotion of great happiness. We chose our name to reflect the high level of service that we provide and the client satisfaction from the results we produce. In fact, we’re elated that you are here! DJ John Hathaway A unique love and passion for music serve as the foundation for John’s story of becoming a DJ. John has been entertaining the masses with hundreds of private celebrations and appearances in public venues under his belt for more than 20 years. His deep knowledge of music and diverse experience contribute strongly to creating fun and memorable events.

From start to finish, John was an awesome DJ. He was patient and considerate, answering all of my questions as an over-planner. He even helped produce a multi-song mash-up for our father-daughter dance! He was quick to respond and met with us several times (virtually) over the course of our 9-month-long wedding planning. At the wedding, he read the room and kept the dance floor packed all night! We highly recommend John!

Lowell, MA
  • DJ

Jay and Martha were AWESOME! Highly recommend them for DJing. They were so sweet and gifted guests a surprise towards the end of the night which was a special touch. I still get compliments for how good my wedding DJ was. I host events and parties often, I already know who to have on speed dial. They know how to set the mood and direct it throughout an event. I asked some vague requests, like "no typical white people wedding music" (e.g., Don't Stop Believin', etc.) and had drastically different genres for dinner and party portions. THEY UNDERSTOOD THE ASSIGNMENT and beyond. There were actually several songs I wish I knew because I loved them so much but never heard them before, yet they were really catchy and quite the vibe.

Joseph & Erika

5.0

Groton, MA
  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $3,850

We’re here to make things simple: We play live music. We DJ. And we help create unforgettable moments that are uniquely you. If you’re ready for a soundtrack for your wedding day that perfectly complements your vibe, delivered to you in a totally unique, no-compromise entertainment package, we’ve got you covered.

Having worked closely with Joseph and Erika on numerous different types of events, I highly recommend them for live music and DJ entertainment. Erika and I have had the pleasure of playing many shows together over the years, and each time, she has brought an unparalleled level of professionalism and energy to the space, both as a DJ and as a lead singer/frontwoman. She and her duo partner Joseph make a truly dynamic duo. Their ability to adapt to the mood and preferences of any crowd is truly impressive. You can catch them playing laid back acoustic tunes for ceremonies and cocktail hours, crushing a DJ set (with live vocals) and playing high energy singalongs... all in the same night. I have recommended Joseph and Erika to a number of my clients as well, and they consistently come back to thank me for the recommendation and mention their engaging performance style and easy-going nature which makes them a breeze to work with. 10/10, they're the best.

Vibeology IA

5.0

Belmont, MA
  • DJ

Music is a lifeblood of life's journey: a universal language that invokes emotion and creates memories; and when thoughtfully and passionately curated into a soundtrack, custom-tailored to specifications, preferences and tastes, the outcome is truly magical, noteworthy, and filled with joy, sentiment, and connection. For over 30 years, DJ Denise LaCarubba | Vibeology IA has aligned with clients to create and present soundtracks for weddings, fashion shows, fundraisers, corporate, international and private events.

We met Denise when she DJ'd a friend's wedding and it was the most fun reception I'd ever attended. I knew she HAD to be my DJ if ever I got married! From day 1 of meeting with her for our wedding, it was clear that her goal was to give us the best party of our lives, whatever that looked like to us. She had great advice throughout the entire process and took time to get to know us and what style/vibe we wanted for our reception. Communication is key, and she had the logistics of the reception planned down to the minute. The music portal is very user friendly and it was really fun to think through our music. If you need song advice, she's your gal. She will strictly adhere to your do NOT play list. She gets the guests engaged and is truly a party starter (if that's what you want). Our guests told us they were sore the next morning because they literally never left the dance floor. Many have asked us to do an annual anniversary party and have Denise DJ it. She will become your family DJ for life and we know of at least 2 guests who plan to have her DJ their wedding. She is a lovely human and a STELLAR DJ. You will not regret asking her to DJ your special day! <3
