I cannot recommend Ceremony DJs enough! Working with Jamie was amazing.

Jamie was also just a really nice, genuine person who is clearly doing what he loves. And he was totally on board for helping us execute on all the small details to bring our big day together.

Marlon Aldana and the team did an AMAZING JOB at our daughter's wedding in Montana!!! We had guests ranging from 20 to 80 and they kept EVERYONE dancing. The dance floor was packed from song one until the end of the night. I have never been to a party or wedding where that happened. We were spilling off the dance floor! It was an epic evening where everyone was smiling, laughing and dancing!!! All of our guests commented on how great Marlon and the band were. Now we are looking for an opportunity to have another party/event so we can PARTY with them again.

I can't say enough great things about Funk Almighty! We had Funk Almighty play at our wedding and they were easily the highlight of the night. The energy, song selection, and sheer talent were unbelievable! Daryl, the band manager, is highly communicative and helped tailor music for every aspect of our day; we had an acoustic guitar for our ceremony, a jazz ensemble for cocktail hour, and their 10-person band for the reception. We also used Funk Almighty's MC service for the evening and Jared did a fantastic job ensuring the events stayed on schedule. What sets Funk Almighty apart from other bands is their energy, they had everyone on the dance floor! Our guests raved about the music and I can confidently say they were right, Funk Almighty is the best!

Pairing great moments with great music! There are two main points where we like to have your specific input: The Procession and the Recessional. Since these two parts of the ceremony are such focal moments, it is really important to have music that is meaningful to you. Let us know what you have in mind, and we can craft a suitable ensemble!

Highly recommend Central Coast Strings! Rebecca was super easy to work with and very communicative. We were able to book one cellist for our small outdoor wedding ceremony this November in Santa Barbara. Katrina was a great performer and it added a very special touch to our big day!
