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

Justin did an INCREDIBLE job at our wedding. His preparation and attention to detail beforehand was immaculate, as he spent over an hour with my partner and me going over the entire wedding day step by step. The sound systems were flawless- everyone could hear our vows during the ceremony and the quality of the sound during the entire day and night was exceptional. He kept our wedding very organized and was the perfect host. Regarding the music selection, he allowed us to make playlists for the cocktail hour and reception which he stuck to using beautiful transitions between songs. Our guests were dancing the entire night! All of our guests said it was the most fun wedding they had ever attended. 10/10 DJ, would definitely recommend him for any event. I included a pic of me doing the worm in my wedding dress. The dance floor was too packed so I had to do it on the side!

My husband and I got married 6/14/24 at Glen Sanders Mansion and Wyatt and his whole team were incredible from start to finish. From the moment we booked with them he was so responsive and helpful with the planning process. The day of everything was executed flawlessly from the entrance songs, to bridal party intros and most importantly the reception music! After a few classics for our older guests I told him to let loose and he did not disappoint! The dance floor was full all night. I got so many compliments on the party and vibe of the reception and all credit goes to Wyatt and co! 10/10 would recommend over and over again!

WOW we can't recommend the Supersounds team enough!! We booked them for our Oct 2025 wedding in Burlington, VT and from the very first conversation Ryan was so professional and attentive. He recommended a few of the DJs on their team based on what we wanted the vibes of our wedding to be (all gas, no brakes on the party) and we spoke with each briefly before going with Molly! Leading up to our weekend, we gave her two separate playlists (cocktail hour/dinner, dance floor) and a list of must-plays. She also made sure to ask for first dance songs and clarify pronunciation of names for when she'd announce speeches. The attention to detail on her part really allowed us to go into the day totally stress-free! On the wedding day, she showed up early to set up, stuck with our playlists, and absolutely crushed it. Our dance floor was full the ENTIRE two hours! The transition from Mr. Brightside to Mo Bamba will live in my brain forever. It was exactly what we envisioned and I never left the dance floor even for one song. Thank you Ryan, Molly, and Supersounds for giving us memories to last a lifetime!!

It’s the one-on-one relationship that you have with your event host throughout your planning that will, and absolutely should, spill over into the atmosphere of your event. Getting to know you with the desire to personalize your entertainment, not simply customize, is a large part of where creativity comes from, and not just mine, but yours as well! I love to offer many suggestions and ideas for your event but also find it just as important to hear your "unique" and "awesome" ideas.

From start to finish, working with Upbeat Occasions was a breeze. DJ Chris was responsive to our requests and took time to really understand what we wanted, while also reading the room and keeping the energy right all night long. His transitions were smooth and the song order kept people engaged—the dance floor didn't empty once, and I was out there dancing to nearly every track. What impressed us most was how laid back he was while staying totally in tune with what the crowd needed, and our guests wouldn't stop raving about the music selection. Chris made our reception feel effortless and fun, and honestly, it's hard to imagine our day going any better. We'd absolutely recommend Upbeat Occasions to anyone looking for a DJ who actually cares about making your wedding special.

Alan C was easy and great to work with! We had a music range from Bad Bunny, Creed, The Killers and more! We shared with him a playlist of some of our favorite songs, a list of "do not play" whether they were styles of music, artists or specific songs and a "must play" list. His online forum was easy to navigate and use. We loved the uplighting and the audio guestbook (phone)!! Also I appreciate that he read and followed through with all the small notes we left for him (specifically we asked for father/daughter, mother/son and first dance to end after the chorus and not play the entire 3-4 minutes). Such a great time. We received so many compliments on our music and the dance floor was busy all night long! He was always very responsive and quick to work with any last minute changes (we had a rainy day).

DJ Pat was a pleasure to work with for our August 2025 wedding! He was extremely prepared throughout the entire day and made sure to provide extra microphones, as well as extras to the extras, in the event they were needed. We shared with Pat that my mother has a tremor and he provided us with mic stands for the speeches so that she would feel completely comfortable the entire time. He transitioned our ceremony music seamlessly and thoughtfully, and never failed to communicate with us throughout the day as the timeline changed. Inevitably, our timeline fell slightly behind, and Pat was flexible with his set to keep people dancing for the entirety of the shortened reception. He made sure all of our 'must-play' songs were played and ensured our 'do not play songs' were not. We loved his lighting setup and could not have asked for a better experience. He communicated with kindness to all of our other vendors, and we are so happy that we chose Rob Alberti Event Services for our wedding!

We cannot thank DJ Mike Napoli enough, he was such a big part of our special day! Mike is very easy to talk to and work with. He brings such a friendly positive energy to the table. He kept great communication with us throughout our whole wedding planning process. The app he provided us with made everything so easy! It covered all the music we needed from start to end. We were able to customize and add specific notes to the time line as well. It’s truly a dream for any type A Bride. Besides providing the music, we also chose to use Mikes photobooth service. Our guest were able to take prints home and leave a print in our guest book. It was so nice to be able to look at all the photos and messages that were left by our guests. Within a few days after our wedding Mike also provided us the links to all the photobooth photos. We were unsure about lighting but with Mikes guidance he knew exactly what we needed based on our music choices. We are so grateful for his expertise because it turned out absolutely amazing. Not to mention he came early to set up and ran the whole thing on his own without missing a beat. Truly a 10/10 experience for us. We highly recommend Mike! P.S Our only word of advice…This didn’t affect us in the moment but we did get a lot of feedback from our guests that since we did not have mics our guest could not hear our vows clearly during our ceremony. This is something to consider discussing with Mike if you plan to have him.

The Dave Macklin Band brings the soul of Motown, the groove of Funk, and the fire of today’s Top 40 to every stage. High-energy, authentic, and versatile — we turn every celebration into a full-throttle live experience of Peace, Love & Funk!

Where do I begin? The Dave Macklin Band was the absolute best investment of our entire wedding. First, their performers are incredible. From the moment I walked into my cocktail hour, until the very last banger at our reception, I was in awe. Our guests have been telling us for weeks how incredible the band was. The energy, the quality of performance, and the set list was spectacular. If you're looking for a wedding band – this is the band for you. Everyone was on the dance floor from beginning to end. Additionally, I have to praise the band manager Irene. She was the most organized vendor I have ever worked with. As our wedding was on a military installation, we had some insane paperwork requirements that all vendors needed to complete and she handled it quickly and with so much grace. I just can't recommend the Dave Macklin Band enough. They are more affordable than other bands in the area yet their performance is out of this world. They even helped secure us a violinist for our ceremony. If you book this band, you're going to have the wedding or event that everyone talks about for years to come. Thank you Irene , Dave Macklin, and the entire band for making our wedding the party of our dreams

As one client posted in a review , "He cares more about the people, than the money" I give every client my very best in my service. With so many having ceremonies in one location and a reception in an other, I am capable of providing music for both locations. My clients wishes come first, from special moments to a dvd choreographed to your special music projected while you take the dance floor for that special First Dance. These are just some of the service provided.

Five Star all the way through! We found Gerry through Zola. He lives in New Hampshire, but was more than happy to make a weekend out of it himself, as he had never been to Block Island before! I suspect the next bride and groom that reach out to him with a wedding planned on Block Island, he will not hesitate to book that one!!! Can't say enough nice things about Gerry! He came through with the music we wanted, some stuff he added and a video screen that came in handy for a few speeches! Kudos from the bride and groom to Your Way DJ!! Ken Panciera Lesley Lane

Working with Shawn Gillie Entertainment was a breeze. Their easy-going communication style helped the night flow smoothly and made my wedding planning so much easier. They have an extremely fun work style, and their music and photobooth props really made the night feel lively and celebratory. Shawn and his team planned everything out perfectly with the other vendors, allowing me to just enjoy my special day without worrying about the details. I would highly recommend Shawn Gillie Entertainment to any couple looking for an energetic and experienced wedding band and DJ service.

Rocky’s energy was unmatched on our wedding day!! He was very easy to work with, a great blend of fun and professionalism. Rocky worked with us to go through songs/playlists we wanted to use (I was one of those people who made my own playlists and he happily used those during parts of our day). At the same time, Rocky’s ability to read the room & incorporate more songs was perfect! One moment that we loved was Rocky’s idea to play a “memorial song” for my husband’s late mother, since he couldn’t dance with her. It ended up being a wonderful moment, where our guests were able to remember her while vibing to the song! During the reception, the dance floor was a place that I didn’t want to leave as a bride!! Overall, Rocky was a fantastic DJ, whose energy radiated to our guests the entire night! We highly recommend Rocky for any event!!

Chris is absolutely amazing at what he does! We had the best time dancing with all of our guests at our wedding. Chris made sure to play music that would keep the dance floor packed all night! There was never a time where a song played and people weren’t feeling it. He knows what he’s doing !! Leading up to our big day, Chris was very on top of it. We chatted with him about a week or two before our wedding and he asked us a bunch of questions to ensure he was bringing the right vibe of music to our day. We received so many compliments saying how our DJ was amazing and people were sore for days because they were dancing so much! We can’t thank Chris enough for listening to us and helping make our day so memorable.

Savage Wedding Co. 
Rating: 5.0 (9 reviews)
  • DJ
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Shaftsbury, VT

Savage Wedding Co. is for couples who don’t want a wedding rooted in tradition or a DJ who plays it safe. If you live somewhere between EDM, metal, or punk and want energy that actually builds through the night, this will make sense to you. You don’t need to edit yourself to fit a predetermined idea of how a wedding is supposed to sound. If you want to headbang, rave, or sing at the top of your lungs, there’s room for that here. The focus is momentum and feel. Not checking boxes.

When we were booking vendors, I wanted wedding professionals. I wanted people who knew the industry inside and out because we were DIY-ing our wedding and without a planner. When you book someone for your wedding, youre not just booking their service- youre booking their industry knowledge and Magnus has a LOT of knowledge and such a big heart. My example of this is within 4 hours of submitting an initial inquiry, we had an email with a scheduled time to call to chat about his services and our wedding plans to see if they matched. What really got our hearts though was before we agreed to work together, he helped me fine tune the schedule I had in my head for the wedding day. He helped us with our timeline not because he was trying to “sell” us on him, and he didnt say “if we work together I’ll help you with the timeline” which would have been perfect acceptable. He helped me because he cares about weddings and wanted to make sure regardless of who we went with for a DJ that we had a good foundation. After that call, I told Collin I wanted Magnus on our wedding team and we didnt need to even consider anyone else and let me tell you - that was one of the best decisions we made. Throughout the process he gave great ideas based on his experience not only for the party (DO THE 10-15 MINUTE DANCE PARTY!!!) but on other aspects of our wedding as well. You’re not just working with an “oh you got a *DJ* DJ!!”as my friend so excitedly said after the music started, you’re working with a professional big hearted person with years of experience who is here to help you have the best time. Our day was truly the best and Magnus was a huge part of that. Once the music started, our dance floor was packed and stayed packed to the bitter end! I will absolutely recommend him to everyone and we are still hearing about how great the music and vibes were. Pics for vibes *insert stars emoji since zola wont allow emojis*
