We worked with Cover Story for our wedding in July and had the best experience. From the beginning Cover Story went above and beyond, they were easy to communicate with, very organized, and even learned our first dance song, which made it so special. The dance floor was packed all night and our guests are still raving about how great the band was. Highly recommend if you want your wedding to feel like a huge party!

My husband and I got married one year ago today & had the best reception ever thanks to John. We could not recommend working with him more!! He was receptive during the planning process and did a great job playing songs we wanted to hear and avoiding songs we didn’t want. Our friends constantly tell us how much fun they had at our wedding and the dance floor was truly packed ALL NIGHT. We also had the audio guestbook which is such a special memory. Thank you for making our day amazing, John!!

DJ Sean Rossetti, owner of Coastal Event Entertainment is known as one of Maine's top wedding DJs, with the experience and ability to connect with crowds of all ages and backgrounds while delivering a high-quality experience every time. He specializes in live mixing music on the fly, reading the crowd, and providing exceptional MC services to keep your celebration running smooth from start to finish.

If having a packed dancefloor with sleek and modern booth and lighting is important to you for your wedding or event, I highly recommend going with Coastal Event Entertainment! Music is important to us and so we spoke with quite a few DJs for our summer 2025 Maine wedding, and from the very beginning it was clear that Sean is a top tier mobile event DJ. He is fun to work with and understood what we wanted. The online planning platform is easy to use to organize requests, and during the wedding every song cue point was executed flawlessly. He also had the best and most fun mixing transitions I’ve heard at a wedding reception, can definitely bring that energetic club vibe that’s what you’re going for. His booth setup is also super modern, clean and classy, and the uplighting option really elevated our event! We got so many compliments on the music and I can’t recommend his DJ services enough!

Awarded Best of Zola
Let me start with saying that Jeremy is the absolute best! From start to finish, I couldn't have asked for a better experience. We originally were leaning towards booking a band, but wanted to have some conversations with multiple vendors...bands and DJs alike. We had heard of DJ DeWeese Entertainment from a friend, and so glad we contacted him! He was so nice over the phone, even though he knew we were shopping around and leaning towards booking a band. He even provided some recommendations of local wedding bands that he had worked with in the past...I mean, who does that, who refers another vendor to ensure we were able to get the right entertainment for our special day. All that said, every time we talked about booking entertainment for our wedding, we kept bringing up Jeremy; how nice he was, how in tune he was to what we wanted, and the list goes on. Fast forward, we ended up booking Jeremy, and couldn't have made a better decision for our wedding. He was wonderful to work with; from timely responses to emails, hopping on the random planning phone call, etc...he was there the entire process. He said from the beginning that he wanted to not only make our wedding day special, but the entire process...he did just that! Onto the wedding...unbelievable! He had a portal that we were able to plan out our music, and he ensured ALL of our "must plays" were played. His music and mixing was really fun, kept the crown engaged, but still made it elegant! Jeremy checked in with us throughout the day to make sure we didn't need anything, kept the dance floor packed. We even extended an hour, and he was happy to do so. Our friends and family are still talking about our wedding, and they all mention the music! All in all, one of, if not the best, vendor we booked for our wedding. I would highly recommend booking DJ DeWeese Entertainment for your wedding, you won't be disappointed! Thanks Jeremy, we loved you!

The focus is momentum and feel. Not checking boxes.

Robert was one of the BEST choices we made for our 2024 wedding! From our first phone call, we knew he was special and would help make our day amazing. His attention to detail, his go with the flow attitude, and comedic timing as an MC made our guests feel comfortable and kept them on the dance floor. We made several changes in the moment and Robert was able to execute perfectly. I can’t recommend the Toasted brew enough, I can say confidently that if I were to plan our wedding again, Robert would be my first call.

We hired Clockwork New England for our wedding in Holderness, NH on 8/31/25 and we were absolutely blown away. Clockwork runs such a professional, caring business, and from our first touch point to our last, we couldn't be more happy with our experience. Ron, the owner, and Patrick, the band leader, were both so attentive to our needs and questions leading up to the wedding. I felt really confident going into the day that they had everything under control and were going to make it a great day. Patrick managed our ceremony cocktail music masterfully - it was perfect. And then the reception... omg. I know I'm biased, but this band was nothing less than the greatest wedding band / cover band I have EVER HEARD. The energy! The entertainment! Our guests are still raving, 2 months after the wedding. My husband and I are big dancers, and we did not leave the dance floor once. It was packed the whole time, from start to finish; even before dinner was served people went out to dance!!! We could not have asked for a better experience on such an important day for us. Guys... when they started playing Pink Pony Club?? Or when the trumpet blasted the first couple notes to Mr. Brightside to bring us back from a band break?!? I couldn't breathe. Absolutely incredible. From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU Clockwork New England for making all of our wildest wedding dreams come true. Thank you thank you thank you - we will be taking ourselves back to that day and that dance floor for the rest of our lives.

HiMotive Entertainment & Photobooth did a great job keeping our wedding reception fun and upbeat. 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'd recommend HiMotive to other couples looking for an energetic DJ.

They will make your ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner and/or dancing special and unforgettable!

Awarded Best of Zola
We’ve been big fans of the O-Tones for many years. We wanted to hire the full six-piece band, but our small venue -an outdoor pavilion-could not accommodate that. Mary Witt, band leader and outstanding vocalist, suggested a duo, herself on bass and guitarist John Caban. Their repertoire included swing, R&B, classic rock and soul. They were very flexible and professional. We chose as our first dance the Etta James classic “At Last”. (We are in our 70’s!!!) Mary and John’s rendition was moving and a bit sultry - just perfect for us. Their ability to read the crowd and go with our flow added so much to the fun and the warmth of our special day!

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!

You know you threw a good party when everyone can’t stop talking about the band! Vibrants energy is unmatched. My husband and I truly enjoyed our time with them from start to finish. They play once or twice a month in bars so you can go see them live! We made it a date night, and after the first time we saw them we knew it was an immediate yes! We booked them two years out and we couldn’t be happier. Justin was super helpful making sure our semi untraditional timeline worked, our more unique song choices got played- and that everything went according to plan. The band members work really well together - you can tell they enjoy playing and making music together. They not only got my guests out on the dance floor but themselves out there. Get a band who can do it all and not make you worry about a thing!
