Our experience working with Jamie and Ceremony DJs can be best summed up by the fact that multiple people told us after the ceremony they wanted to book him for their wedding and at least one got his business card! I can't imagine a better DJ, truly. When we first met with Jamie, he said he could make people dance to anything and would keep people on the dance floor all night, and he WAS NOT LYING. The whole night, the dance floor was PACKED even though it was rainy/muddy/cold/wet. Jamie took us on a journey that covered all of the bases of the music we love to hear and dance to, seamlessly and magically (?) integrating genres with the best mixes, it was pure wizardry and really captured who we were. We as a couple care a lot about music and wanted music that represented who we were and what we like to listen to, and he did not disappoint! So much prep work went into this, he took patience and time to try to understand our tastes and vibe, and it was so cool to have the wedding played on vinyl- basically, Jamie just "got it" from start to finish and we had the best time! Our wedding also got delayed due to rain and a road closure and he was such a good sport, staying late to keep us all dancing for a whole other hour- so fun! Also, when our ceremony musician was stuck in traffic due to the storm, he was so prepared and had our prelude/processional music downloaded so we could still walk down the aisle to the songs we'd chosen. Overall, such a cool, kind, funny guy who was professional and prepared in every way and honest just takes time to meet and know his clients, and clearly just loves to share his love of music. I would book him for everything if I could. BOOK THIS DJ. You will NOT regret it!

I’ve been playing weddings for over twelve years and I love my work! My services cover any or all aspects of wedding & receptions. I have found my life’s artistic calling in becoming flexible to every type of music my clients could desire. I learn to enjoy whatever my clients love and this resonance makes my job sustainable and ever-enjoyable. But, I do tend to request the ability to make choices for the dance-floor that rely on my years of dance-enhancing experience. I meet with my clients to determine what music they would love to hear and what music they do NOT want to hear.

Awarded Best of Zola
We’d experienced some strange DJ moments at other weddings - airhorns, over the top transitions, self advertising - so we were feeling picky as we embarked on the first DJ search of our own. Celebration DJ stood out to us, and the ability to hire a DJ who can also sing and play guitar was an enticing combo. Brandon did a fabulous job bringing his professional experience to the day - we really wanted a packed dance floor and he delivered. The photobooth and its quirky props were a huge hit with our guests, and the GIFs that were available afterwards are so fun and unique! We also loved that we could collaborate on playlists via Spotify - made it easy and now we can continue to listen to our wedding music for years to come. Thank you Brandon and the Celebration DJ team!

I am so happy to write a review for Seth and his team! From the very beginning, Seth has been a pleasure to work with. The first meeting I was very impressed by how he had researched the wedding venue and its layout so that he could ask us what our thoughts were on setup/DJ location placement etc. Our second meeting was then focused on how to set up the wedding playlist using the Vibo app. The app is fantastic, and an excellent way to keep track of the songs you wish to have played at certain time points (bridal processional, grand entrance, pre-ceremony, etc.). In the app you can request starting timepoints and leave extra notes for Seth to look over weeks before the wedding. Aside from these aspects, Seth went above and beyond to help us with other non-music related aspects of the wedding such as our wedding slideshow (that he helped give us step by step instructions so that the quality of the slideshow would be good for when it was projected on the wall of venue). He also created a mashup for my husband to dance with his mom ("Dance with me" mixed with "Just Dance"; it was amazing!). Even during the week of the wedding, when I had a mini-freak out, he was so kind and understanding. In the end, I 100% recommend Seth (and Matt too! He was at the Photo Booth, and he was so kind and was ready to help folks if any technical help was needed)! Seth's team is professional, kind, and has great attention to detail; if you can, book DJ Seth and his team for your wedding!

I was blown away by the talent of the musicians, they really take their craft seriously. I requested a Roaring Twenties theme from Louis Pettinelli and they went above and beyond to make it happen. The singer Karlea was phenomenal and did an amazing job of keeping our guests engaged and entertained. The musicians were all courteous, professional, and exceptionally talented. They dressed appropriately for our wedding theme and many of the guests at the Hawthorne Hotel wanted to take pictures with Karlea in her Twenties attire. In addition to being a wonderful experience, they were also a great value for the price. These are top quality musicians and we paid a reasonable price for the band.

I recently had the pleasure of booking Cello Joe to perform at my wedding and what a special experience it was!!! Joey is a true professional on all levels! From start to finish, communication was effortless and always on point. He even assisted us with setting up and dialing in the sound system. Now on to the important stuff... Cello Joe's performance bridged the spectrum of family and friends present for our wedding. It was such a magical experience seeing so many loved ones getting down to veggie maniac, bike girl and so much love :). Cello Joe delivered a performance that brought joy and smiles to everyone's experience. Overall I rate our experience 11/11. It was an honor to have such a talented musician perform and such a fun character to hang out with the rest of the event. Cello Joe's set was the musical highlight of our wedding. We're extraordinarily grateful that Cello Joe made the trip up to Portland and very much look forward to seeing this musical genius again in the near future!

My focus is quality. I take my job seriously and I hope that I can make you happy so that you’ll consider me for your next event, and any event thereafter. Checkout my LinkTree for upcoming events, more reviews, and to visit my instagram. Let's team up and create memories! It is important for me to articulate, that I serve ALL PEOPLE EQUITABLY!! However, I do want to note that I do require that the couple has a Day of Coordinator (not the venue coordinator as they are different). Otherwise, I will also charge for coordination services as that puts the burden of day of logistics on the DJ.

Our DJ was absolutely amazing from start to finish! He was extremely reliable, professional, personable, and always communicated quickly. From the moment we booked him, I knew we were in good hands. He was not only an incredible DJ but also an excellent MC. He kept our wedding moving, made sure everything flowed smoothly, and knew exactly how to keep our guests engaged and having a great time. Our wedding felt seamless, and so much of that was because of his guidance, expertise, and ability to read the room. What I appreciated most was that he truly respected our budget. He never pressured us into spending more than we wanted to. Instead, he listened to what we wanted, gave us honest recommendations, and pointed us in the right direction to help us get the best and most effective outcome. Our guests had an amazing time, and we received so many compliments about the music, energy, and overall flow of the reception. If you're looking for a DJ who is reliable, responsive, professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in making your wedding experience special, I highly recommend him!

Where do we even begin?! We found Justin (DJ JAS) on TikTok and were instantly impressed by his smooth transitions, creative remixes, and upbeat style — but WOW, he completely exceeded our expectations. From day one, Justin was professional, responsive, and incredibly detail-oriented. He helped us curate custom playlists for every part of the day — from pre-ceremony to our final dance — setting the perfect tone and mood at every stage. Music was one of our top priorities, and thanks to DJ JAS, our dance floor was PACKED all night long. We’re talking sore-feet-the-next-day energy (which he promised us in one of our planning meetings — and delivered 1000%). One of our groomsmen literally skipped the bar, the photobooth, and the guestbook because “the jams were just too good.” Beyond the party, Justin handled all things audio like a pro — our ceremony mic setup was crystal clear, and he even coordinated directly with our officiant before the ceremony to make sure everything ran smoothly. He was also incredibly respectful and flexible when my dad planned a surprise — communicating ahead of time and helping pull it off flawlessly. Hiring DJ JAS was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. His energy, skill, and professionalism made the entire day unforgettable. We cannot recommend him enough and are already dreaming up another event just so we can work with him again!

From the very beginning, working with Joe was an incredible experience. Joe was professional, responsive, and genuinely invested in making our wedding day exactly what we envisioned. Communication was excellent throughout the entire planning process, and he made himself available for phone calls whenever we had questions or wanted to go over details. The music planning forms were easy to use and made organizing everything—from our ceremony music to the reception—simple and stress-free. Our venue had several different areas that all required separate sound setups, including the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and reception, and everything transitioned seamlessly. One of the biggest challenges was that our ceremony location didn't have electrical power, but Joe came fully prepared with a system that worked flawlessly. Every ceremony cue was timed perfectly, and hearing each song start exactly when it was supposed to made the ceremony feel even more special. Throughout the reception, Joe kept everything running smoothly. The sound quality was excellent, announcements were clear, and he did an outstanding job reading the crowd while also honoring the atmosphere and music we wanted. The dance floor stayed full all night, and we've had so many guests tell us how much fun they had. If you're looking for a professional, organized, and talented wedding DJ, I can't recommend Joe enough. He exceeded our expectations in every way and played a huge part in making our wedding unforgettable.

1000/10!! Lucky Devils gave us absolutely the best wedding experience possible. All communication and planning calls were extremely professional, prompt, and easy. We had a prescriptive plan on our music taste and preferences, which Lucky Devils was happy to accommodate, but they also gave guidance based on their expertise, which we so appreciated. We put playlists together because we wanted certain songs playing, but by the time the band came on (we just gave them general guidance beforehand, nothing too prescriptive), their set list was exactly what we were looking for and they completely set the vibe and energy of the party with little direction. We hired them for our ceremony music, which they were able to do with the live guitarist as well as use a speaker for walk down the aisle songs. Everything went seamlessly and exactly how we imagined, but somehow even better. Working with Lucky Devils was an amazing experience from end. They were also very positive and lively on-site, which made us and the guests have so much fun. We have a family band and Lucky Devils even let them play a live song, which will always be one of our favorite memories from our wedding day. Lucky Devils is a one stop shop and can help you with anything, as they have such range- you can hire for your ceremony AND reception (even if in different locations) as an emcee, DJ, live band, etc. and that's exactly what we needed. They have tons of clients at one time but somehow made us feel so special and like we were their only client. Music is so important to us, and honestly I have been putting together a playlist for years, so we were looking for the best group possible to host the experience we were looking for. Lucky Devils was exactly it and it was so amazing to see this music come to life. They brought so much energy, fun, and connection to our guests, we still talk about it! We were honestly so blown away at how amazing the music was throughout the night. Would 100% recommend and do all over again if we had the choice. You will not regret hiring them and it's one of the best wedding decisions we made!!

We hired the Cosmo Alleycats for our wedding and it was by far one of the best choices we made. Working with Emily and the Cosmo Alleycats is a dream. First up, they are obviously very musically talented - their style is fun for everyone of all ages and they are open to working with you for your preferences. They went above and beyond by making a special arrangement of our first dance song. We wanted to practice dancing to their rendition before the big day, so Emily shared a recording of it with us which was extremely helpful. Emily is a true professional, helping us organize all of the details and logistics in addition to emceeing for the evening and bringing her gorgeous singing voice, and each member of the band brings their own talents and flair. I cannot recommend them enough. Live music at a wedding is a top-notch experience for you and your guests and you won’t regret hiring the Cosmo Alleycats for your special day.

Keith was absolutely incredible! His professionalism and talent made our wedding day unforgettable. He took the time to get to know us beforehand, ensuring the music perfectly reflected our style and the songs we wanted. If my husband and I could relive our wedding day, we wouldn’t think twice about choosing Keith as our DJ again. He kept the music going and the dance floor packed all night long! I would 100% recommend Keith to anyone planning a wedding or any other event—he’s simply the best!

Our goal is simple: to bring unforgettable energy and musicianship to every celebration we play. Each member of the group is a seasoned performer, and together we create a live show that’s dynamic, danceable, and tailored to fit the flow of your event. We also offer smaller configurations for ceremonies and cocktail hours, ensuring cohesive music coverage from start to finish.

Awarded Best of Zola
Ideateam remains one of the most memorable parts of our wedding weekend in Nevada City, CA. For our friends and family, the dance party, live music and the magnetic energy of this ensemble was a true highlight. The mix of soulful vocals, high-powered brass and tightknit rhythm section made wedding setlist staples sound fresh. Tim was easy to work with. The band accomodated our requests for first dance, set up the audio for our ceremony procession, played a stripped-down set during cocktail hour, showcasing the range of services and sounds they can provide. Our wedding would have not been so special without them.

VENUES WITH PIANOS ONLY - HAPPY TO HELP RENT A BABY GRAND BUT CAN'T TRAVEL WITH MY OWN :) Juilliard-trained pianist Paulina Simkin has performed at Carnegie Hall and toured across Europe, the U.S., and Asia. A Fulbright Fellow and Young Steinway Artist, she plays regularly at top wedding venues such as Carondelet House, The Ebell Club, The Biltmore, The Plaza, The Ranch at Laguna Beach, and just became the new pianist at the Chateau Marmont. Whether you envision ceremony music that is uniquely you two, a sophisticated cocktail-hour ambiance, or a modern, cinematic mood, Paulina curates each performance to match your style and love story.

Paulina is a wonderful pianist who is artistically brilliant and passionate about her craft. She elevates any event she performs at with a mix of her signature charm and sophistication. I own Faye Fern Creative, a wedding design and planning house. Most of our clients enjoy having an element of live music at their events. They also expect a high touch experience in the lead up to their special day. I always feel confident recommending Paulina to our couples, knowing that she will deliver a refined performance and easy planning process. What truly sets Paulina apart from many other classical musicians in the industry is her warm personality and genuine talent at engaging with couples and their guests. Her repertoire includes a great mix of classical, jazz, pop, show tunes, and more. She tailors each set list to the clients' tastes and the mood of the event. Additionally, she offers custom song request add-ons. I highly recommend Paulina if you're looking for a memorable event pianist who is thoughtful, a breeze to work with, and genuinely invested in crafting a meaningful atmosphere through music.

Having spent most my life in the entertainment business since starting out working professionally in the Theatre, Television and Various Talent Groups and Agencies eventually working my way as a Lead Performer / Vocalist & Emcee! My experience also includes several years working for Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines as the lead Performer on many Maiden Voyages. I absolutely love my work and take great pride in every celebration as if were my very own providing my clients with the trust & confidence I sincerely feel they deserve, always in good taste and moving in a festive and comfortable fashion!

I cannot recommend DJ Mike enough. Michael was recommended as a preferred vendor through our photographer so we already knew he was going to be great but working with him really showed us just how wonderful he is. We didn’t have a wedding planner so a lot of the planning was up to us as the couple, but Michael ended up being the biggest help there. We had four zoom meetings with him and within the first one he helped us make our day-of timeline, and that was the one we went off of and gave the rest of our vendors. We provided him with our playlists for cocktail hour, reception, dancing and he made it super easy. On the wedding day, he was set up with all his sound systems and they sounded fantastic. He has SUCH a great DJ/MC voice and he made sure the night ran smooth. And when the dancing started, all of a sudden we saw all these glow sticks and necklaces and glasses and props being passed out that he brought! Our guests loved it!! I’m still having people tell me how much fun those were and how great the DJ was. Michael was so great to work with and I cannot recommend him enough. If you want the best DJ around, this is your guy!
