They say a dream is a wish your heart makes, and Erica was truly a dream to have at my wedding, not only as a musician, but as a warm and kind presence. The very first time I spoke with Erica I just fell in love with her warmth, kindness, professionalism and confidence. We laughed so much on the first call I knew immediately I had to hire her. After the call, my fiancé said that musician you spoke with made you so happy you better just hurry up and hire her. I never even spoke to another musician…I knew none could even come close to Erica. I hired Erica in July for my December Disney wedding. I never felt rushed, overwhelmed or anything stressful. Erica is so kind, her voice is ethereal and she knows how to read a room. She even recommended an amazing officiant to me when I was struggling to find one. Erica was the hit of my wedding, when she started singing to open the ceremony a bird flew up to her, perched next to her and sang with her. Even the bird wanted to be close to her and felt her kindness. This was the most beautiful moment and my guests are still talking about it. I wanted a Disney/Christmas wedding theme and Erica delivered in every aspect. She was also beautifully dressed and looked gorgeous (nobody wants sloppy vendors lol). Erica created the perfect atmosphere by intertwining romantic Disney music as well as Christmas songs. Erica made the wedding a dream come true. The fact that she is well known also helps, as most vendors and venues love working with her. She learned a few new songs for me and worked seamlessly with my other vendors to create the perfect, yes absolutely perfect, day. Thank you Erica! You are a true star!

Justin was lovely to work with from the start. He was booked for another wedding, but he paired us up with Rob, an associate DJ of his. Both Rob and Justin were so so fun to work with. Rob took the time to text or set up whatever zoom calls we felt we needed. For the actual day, Rob was amazing. We had dinner service, reception, and "after party". Robs killed it with his flow between songs, and was incredibly accommodating and flexible if we had any requests in the moment, and was able to dodge or handle any "questionable" song requests that came his way. We knew that he always put my husband and I's wishes first. We also had multiple people comment on how good the DJ was during the reception, and after the fact! He also went above and beyond to pull heroics the day of to get some of our DIY spot lighting set up that wasn't set up the night prior. Rob was incredible to work with, and just as fun to chat with. Will miss working with them, but absolutely will be following their journeys and would use them again in a heartbeat! So thankful for Justin and Rob!

From the bottom of Gavin and I's heart we want to thank DJ Mast so much for making our day so special!!

He worked so well with our other vendors to ensure announcements were made to guests in a timely manner & our photo/video got all the shots we wanted during our day (which you don't necessarily initially think about when booking a DJ).

Don’t trust uncle Jerry with the aux cord and Spotify playlist. Your big day deserves better. Your wedding is a celebration of your love, and the beginning of creating a life together with the person you love most. It is critical that you entrust it to a professional who will take the time and care to craft an experience that is impossible to forget. With me, above and beyond is an understatement. Music is my life, and it is such a massive honor to be able to provide the soundtrack to one of the biggest days of your life.

Wow! DJ Lou exceeded our expectations! When it came to the reception we didn't have to do a thing but the preparation came months before that. We had an initial planning meeting, he set us up with our own timeline (an app that he created!), we had a follow-up meeting and then a week-of meeting! We felt so ready when the day came but were still so surprised about how much DJ Lou did for us. He was checking to see if we were okay, pulling us away to make sure we were eating, working with our other vendors so seamlessly- our ceremony musicians, our officiant, our family band, and our photographer! It made the reception a hit among all our guests! We can't recommend him enough!

DJ D-Mac & Associates 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Serves Akron, NY for additional fees

Based in the nation’s capital, DJ D-Mac & Associates changed the wedding DJ game nearly 20 years ago. We continue to innovate, fusing genres, filling dance floors, and bringing smiles to faces. Let's create an unforgettable experience together!

DJ D-Mac was one of the first "wedding day details" we locked in. After my wife and I got engaged, we pretty much immediately dove headfirst into wedding planning. One of the first things we knew is that we wanted to work with a DJ rather than a band. And I knew I wanted to work with DJ D-Mac. The first time I saw D-Mac spin a set was at a friend's wedding in 2014, and I was blown away. At every wedding since then, I've measured other DJs' performances against what I saw (and couldn't stop dancing to) that day. His ability to blend songs, flowing from one crowd pleaser to the next while pairing them in unexpected and delightful ways kept the dancefloor packed and moving all night. Once we'd finished the official wedding business of speeches, toasts, and cake cutting, I ducked my head over to the DJ booth and said, "I don't wanna leave the dancefloor for the next three hours." Unsurprisingly, he delivered exactly what my wife and I -- and all of our guests -- were looking for. Since our wedding in September, the most consistent feedback we've received from wedding guests is how incredible our DJ was and how much fun they had at our reception. Seriously, I wish I'd kept a log of the number of times "y'all's DJ was amazing" or something similar has been said or texted to me. We're already looking for an excuse to throw another party so we have a reason to work with D-Mac again. In addition to delivering day-of magic, D-Mac was a pleasure to work with, thanks to his creativity and professionalism. Do yourself a favor and book him as soon as you know your wedding date.

Words can’t express how much we loved working with Ana & Jimmy and the entire Amp DJ Band Hybrid. My husband really wanted a band while I really wanted a DJ, Amp DJ band was the perfect mix. We found Ana & Jimmy immediately and were able to schedule a meeting with them the next day. We knew right away that they were right for us. They were extremely attentive and outgoing from the start. They answered all out of questions and addressed concerns we had. We booked them immediately because we didn’t want to miss out on the opportunity to work with them. We met with them several times through our 6 month planning process. They responded immediately to any questions that popped up along the way and even allowed us to make a last minute change the night before. They well exceeded our musical playlist, taking the songs we requested and tailoring the rest of the music to fit the vibe. There was a perfect mix of live songs and an awesome dj set. The amount of compliments my husband & I received about the band far exceeded anything we expected. All of our guests LOVED them (of course as did we). So many people reached out that night or the next day to say how impressed they were with Ana, Jimmy & the whole band. We also had an acoustic guitar player at our cocktail hour which was amazing. If you’re debating getting a band for your wedding because your heart is set on a DJ, seriously look no further than Amp DJ Band hybrid. You will not be disappointed. I want to have another event just to work with them again!

Golden Scroll Soloists

  • Ceremony only
  • Serves Akron, NY for additional fees

The Golden Scroll Soloists have been wowing Northeast audiences with a variety of styles for 20 years, melding familiar songs you love into an elegant string quartet experience. We helped popularize the "crossover string quartet", much like the Vitamin String Quartet, during the early days of classical crossover. Our style, now made mainstream by Bridgerton, predated the Netflix hit show by 15 years. We're ready to play for your ceremony, your cocktail hour, or maybe even your reception. Choose from a string quartet, string trio, string duo, or violin soloist. Let's start planning the soundtrack to your happily ever after!

The Golden Scroll Soloists delivered an absolutely exceptional performance that elevated our wedding ceremony to heights we never imagined possible. From our first interaction with Kevin, the director, until the final note played at our ceremony, their professionalism and artistic excellence shone through every aspect of their service. Kevin's communication was outstanding throughout the planning process. He was responsive, detailed, and genuinely invested in ensuring the music would perfectly match our vision for the day. This proved invaluable, especially given some unexpected challenges we faced during the ceremony. What truly sets this quartet apart is their ability to adapt and perform flawlessly even under difficult circumstances. Despite receiving no support or direction from our wedding planner (who was unexpectedly absent during the ceremony), the quartet showed remarkable poise and professionalism. When sudden rain threatened to disrupt the proceedings, they seamlessly adjusted without missing a beat. Even when timeline issues arose - again due to the missing planner - they demonstrated incredible flexibility and kept the musical program flowing beautifully. The musical performance itself was nothing short of magical. Their renditions of our chosen songs were deeply moving, perfectly capturing the emotion of each moment. The way they performed our most cherished pieces brought tears to many eyes, including our own. Their technical skill was evident in every note, but it was their ability to infuse each piece with genuine feeling that made their performance truly outstanding. We cannot emphasize enough how grateful we are for their presence on our special day. For any couple considering live music for their ceremony, we cannot recommend the Golden Scroll Soloists highly enough.

My husband and I were planning a celebration in Hoboken for the fall of ’24 and when it came time to book our DJ, I knew that I wanted to book with 4AM without question. Having worked with Madison Janice before (I work in hospitality events), I already knew that they are the absolute best at what they do and would match us with the perfect DJ. That they did, and soon we were connected with DJ TRE, who’s an absolute ray of sunshine KILLER DJ. When certain circumstances forced us to rethink the wedding location and cancel the Hoboken event, we needed to regroup and change our original plans. We eventually decided on a smaller, intimate event in Malibu, and the 4AM team was BEYOND accommodating and understanding and we were so grateful to learn that TRE could DJ for us on the West Coast! Tre was incredible on our big day and kept our friends and family grooving all day – she provided the perfect soundtrack to the most spectacular Malibu day.

Andrew studied music at Five Towns College in Dix Hills and graduated top of his class. After playing in the Long Island music scene for years, he turned his focus into performing for weddings and special events.

Awarded Best of Zola
We'd wanted a guitarist for the ceremony and cocktail hour to have a very mellow live music addition to the event. After some search, we hired Andrew to play our wedding from only a youtube video and it might have been the best decision we made for that day. Andrew was in contact with us throughout the almost 2 year delay (thanks, Covid) between booking and the event and gave us great recommendations on songs. We went into the wedding with zero playlists and just told him to play whatever - every song was perfect. We only had one requested song which he waited until we were outside to play, and it was great. Our guests still talk to us about the guitarist and how amazing cocktail hour was. Out of everything during the day, who knew the best part would be the first hour? Our biggest regret was not keeping him there for the entire day! You can't go wrong with this man, excellent voice and playing with a wide range. Thank you again, Andrew!

Even the venue and other vendors wanted her information so that they were able to recommend her to other couples because of her willingness to help, organize, and her knowledge of the wedding industry. We also had the 360 Photo Booth and from what I’m told it’s the “new” one and it was SOOO much fun! Everyone of every age loved it!

Mike Medved Weddings- All Day Musician And DJ

  • Production company
  • Serves Akron, NY for additional fees

On your special day, we provide all of the sound equipment needed for your wedding ceremony. We place a discreet clip-on microphone on your pastor or officiant, we provide a wireless microphone for your readers, and we place the speakers where lines of sight and the beauty of your ceremony setting will not be interrupted. I have 12 years of experience planning, DJing, and MCing wedding receptions. I love bringing my wealth of experience to each and every wedding couple's special day.

I don’t even know where to begin — Mike was a highlight of our wedding experience from the time of booking to even now after our wedding has wrapped up. He is a class act, someone who really listens and values you, not just as a client but as a person. We left each call being so appreciative of his kindness (something that can often be left out in the wedding industry) and in awe of his talent/wedding expertise. He helped us curate an amazing reception flow and welcomed our ideas with open arms. Walking into our cocktail hour to his live acoustic set is something I’ll never forget. Our guests were amazed! From our dinner playlist, he shuffled the perfect variety of our favorite songs it had me in tears the entire time. How he handled our announcements and all MC-ing throughout the evening was like nothing I’d seen photographing weddings over the past 5 years — a complete contrast to the flashy, showy MC taglines that feel like you’re being announced into a boxing arena, lol. That wasn’t for us and that also isn’t Mike’s style. We felt like the guests of honor and like each of our planned dances were equally as important to him that they went smoothly and were a special moment for our families. For example, my dad was nervous for his welcome toast and asked for a microphone on a stand instead of handheld. I watched Mike’s assistant literally *run* out to their car and back to accommodate in record time. The dance floor was packed and the songs Mike chose from our playlist were a perfect balance of the genres we love. Mike checked in with us about song/vibe suggestions and was the best advocate for what *we* wanted all day long. (This is the impact of getting to know your clients well!) At the end of the night, Mike organized our remaining guests into an exit tunnel following our private last dance and it was the best way to end the night. While we didn’t want the party to end, we will ALWAYS recommend Mike wherever we can so we can enjoy his talents again. After the wedding Mike sent us a collection of videos and photos he took throughout the day and we will always cherish them. He also wrote us the most thoughtful card and a gift that again, brought me to tears. Last thing - a little thing that might go overlooked - his equipment, lighting and set up, are SO good. Very tasteful set up and the light effects took the party to the next level. Ok! I could go on and on! But I’ll leave with this THANK YOU, Mike and your team for every little thing. We are so grateful.

We listen to you and use imaginative methods to make your dream celebration come to life! Whether you’re having a small, intimate gathering or the biggest party you can imagine, we’ll make sure that your wedding is one to be remembered forever!

I would recommend Scott and Sound Selection 100x over! Working with them was incredibly seamless. I never felt like I had to worry during the planning stages since Scott kept us on track leading up to our wedding. My husband and I were initially concerned about the length of our first dance song, but Scott edited it so it was the perfect length but didn’t sound edited or awkward. Most importantly, Scott kept the energy high and the dance floor was absolutely packed the entire night! We love how he perfectly balanced DJ and announcing responsibilities by interacting with our crowd without being overbearing. We had multiple guests compliment our DJ. Do yourselves a favor and book Sound Selection for your wedding!

I perform on an electric cello that lets me move freely and interact directly with your guests, adding a dynamic and personal touch to the event. With a keen ability to read the room, I adjust the music in real time to create the perfect atmosphere, ensuring an unforgettable experience for you and your guests.

Mr. Michel is definitely a smooth operator. He knows how to work a room well. He knows how to get people to engage, and he knows when to blend into the background. He doesn’t act like a rockstar, even tho he easily could demand that type of attention based on his accomplishments. Simply a pleasure to work with.

We love to be a part of all wedding celebrations, but are especially passionate about events where our creativity can shine. Give us a challenge and watch it come to life! We make the Impossible Party happen.

Kyle made planning our music selections so easy and stress free. The app was was extremely helpful in designating which songs we'd like played at different points throughout the wedding. Being able to leave notes in different areas really made it a breeze to give him a clear concise vision of what we wanted to accomplish and our personal tastes in music. When we met in person to go over finer details Kyle had notes on everything we put in the app and brought up more questions we hadn't considered yet. He was very professional as well as personable. Once all the planning was said and done, my fiancé (now wife) and I just had to kick back and enjoy our special day. Our guests were all extremely happy with the music and we got several compliments as we talked with each table. We had so much fun and our guests were absolutely thrilled on the dance floor

There is an art to entertaining. To create a memorable wedding celebration, you need quality entertainment. Most events I do start with some common elements: guests, music and the client’s desire for the event to be successful. It’s the inspiration in the execution and preparation before the event that distinguishes me from the ordinary. While others may do events by number, I make each event an original, a unique reflection of my client…you! I take inspiration from your dreams and desires. I do not ask you to follow someone else’s format because I will thrive in yours.

Butch was simply phenomenal! He was able to keep our small wedding so high energy it felt like we had a room full of a hundred people! He was so flexible with us as we had so many changes throughout the planning process. He was willing to work with us regardless of what our contract stated, he just wanted us to have the best wedding we could. He was so helpful in planning meetings and his tool was easy and fun for us to use! We asked him last minute to do all the ceremony music and he was even willing to jump in the day of to marry us when we thought we were without an officiant. All of our guests raved about him! We can't say enough about Butch except to HIRE HIM! :)
