We hired Intrinsic Groove to perform at our wedding in April 2026 and it was nothing short of INCREDIBLE. We watched a lot of videos and felt confident they were going to be great, but they far exceeded our expectations. They were high energy, crowd engaging, phenomenal performers who met the vibe every single time. Vocals were KILLER. So many of our guests said it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to and I credit a lot of that to the energy the band brought. On top of a killer reception, they also did incredible ceremony and cocktail hour music that made everything flow harmoniously. You just can’t beat a killer band for your wedding, worth every penny! Highly recommend “Like a Prayer” by Madonna to get all generations singing along!! Photo Credit to our epic photographer, Victoria of An Endless Pursuit

What an amazing experience working with Joey. He was very thoughtful in curating the music for our day and I hope you find what you are looking for with him. I am a wedding vendor of 15 years as well doing hair, makeup and morning concierge. One of my past brides at one of my most favorite venues to work at is how I was introduced to Joey. After coming out of the hair room I love taking a moment to walk around the venue and there he was playing the cello along with some background music. I was hooked. I love that he was incorporating songs of today with the art of an instrument. I found it unique and something I wanted to showcase at my wedding. I didn’t want people to walk up to just music playing in the space, but an experience. Joey took the time to do 2 calls with us, one being over the phone and the second being over zoom. He came with a detailed questionnaire of how we wanted our wedding to go. It was so detailed that even a music mood girl I didn’t even think of. The calls were scheduled for 30 minutes but he didn’t hesitate to chat with me for over an hour on how I wanted it to be curated. I had already started 2 wedding playlists, but he added and sent me 5 to 6 albums to fill out of songs I loved and wanted. I had over 10 hours of music to play and not only did he take those into consideration he added music that my guests also requested. He even accepted me saying change this song and only play the 10 year olds music every 10 songs He needed to set up in two spaces, one for the ceremony which was outside on our property. He was set up and playing by the time guests arrived. Everyone I spoke with loved the music selection, which I told him “Bridgerton vibes” and he ran with it. After the ceremony his assistant had music playing for the cocktail hour while they broke down the equipment in the ceremony area. I was blown away by the lights that were brought and the look of everything. Microphones worked for speeches and he even had a stand for those who wanted to use them. We didn’t do a traditional walk in but he announced us perfectly and we ran around the tables saying hello to our friends and family. I would recommend Joey to anyone looking to have an experience for their guests, have a DJ but also want strings all in one. He was professional, timely and for someone who did not have a day of coordination or planner very informative. I wanted vendors to do what they do best and I’m glad I trusted him to provide us with music throughout the day and night!

Rating: 5.0 (6 reviews)
  • Solo performer
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Talkeetna, AK for additional fees

Hey, I'm Ben! A Minneapolis-based singer-songwriter whose music has been featured on ABC's Nashville, and in American Songwriter magazine. I delight in creating unforgettable wedding experiences, with the perfect song at the perfect moment. With over two decades performing at iconic Twin Cities venues like First Avenue, the Fitzgerald and State Theaters, and touring nationally and internationally, I specialize in delivering heartfelt acoustic performances that resonate emotionally and spiritually with couples and guests.

We were planning a small wedding on a modest budget but knew the music had to be something special. As longtime fans of Romantica and Ben Kyle, we reached out to see if he’d perform at our ceremony and we’re so glad we did! Ben was wonderful to work with from start to finish. He helped us select the perfect mix of songs, including a mix of his originals and a beautiful cover that fit seamlessly into our ceremony. His music brought such heart and authenticity to our day, and his communication throughout the process was excellent. Truly one of the highlights of our wedding!

Brazenn, DJ & Entertainment services 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,400
  • Serves Talkeetna, AK for additional fees

Originally from Alaska, I moved to Colorado in 2026 for more opportunities, however still take bookings back home. I have residency’s at 4 bars/clubs in AK and CO, I’ve worked for 3 different wedding companies, and currently work for Wedgwood which is the largest wedding company in the US. I’ve had my own company since 2023, and have done everything from classy to trashy✨. Personally love to DJ, plan weddings, fly planes and build aircraft. If it has wings I’ve either flown or built it.

I seriously can’t say enough good things about having Brayden as our DJ! We knew before we were even engaged that we wanted him for our wedding. We had seen him DJ other weddings and events and were always sooo impressed. I’ve been to plenty of weddings, but he was the first DJ that made me think yep, one day this is our guy Brayden was so much more than just our DJ. He helped guide the whole day, kept things flowing, engaged the crowd & made sure we never had to worry about what was happening next. We knew we could completely trust him and that took such a huge weight off our shoulders! I am also VERYYYY picky when it comes to music, aesthetics & vibes, so I definitely had a vision for how I wanted everything to feel. To me, music is so special to me and sets the vibe for the whole day. it’s so important to find someone who understands what you want. Somehow he took our vision and made it even better than I could’ve expected. The music was AMAZING. He didn’t just play songs one after another, everything flowed together so seamlessly. His transitions were so cool and had this subtle EDM feel at times without being overdone or taking away from the songs. He also knew exactly how to read the room. There was something for every age group and somehow it all went together perfectly. Everyone was having an absolute blast, dancing and having the best time. we still have people telling us how much fun they had and how great our DJ was! Brayden is so fun while still being professional, kind and easy to work with. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does and has a talent for it that not everyone has. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect and he was such a huge part of that. We would choose him again a million times over! I’m looking forward to seeing all that he does in the future!
