We were thrilled with the Bluewater Kings Band for our wedding! Owen was fantastic to work with - he was prompt, organized, and enthusiastic in his communication. We splurged on adding a sax player and were so glad we did - it really brought an extra layer of talent and fun. The band absolutely nailed our preferred musical vibe. As soon as the music started, the dance floor filled up and stayed packed all night long! The set list matched our taste perfectly.

DJ Obie 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Ashmore, IL

I got into DJing by accident. After learning that working as an Industrial Engineer in a fortune 500 company didn't bring me much fulfillment, a friend suggested I join his DJ company. His company supplied DJ services for over 200 weddings a year! After my first wedding gig I was hooked. It gave me purpose, and an outlet I never knew was possible. I quickly became the most requested DJ in the company and within my market. Now I DJ on my own, and I'm so blessed to be able to curate an atmosphere of joy where families can connect.

Awarded Best of Zola
DJ Obie is seriously the BEST!! He always brings such great energy that there’s no way anyone can have a bad time. Every wedding I’ve attended where he’s the DJ I’ve always had a smile on my face because of him. So many guests that were at our wedding continue to speak so highly of him. Our wedding was an absolute blast and I am so grateful he was our DJ!! I will always HIGHLY recommend DJ Obie!

I was blown away by the talent of the musicians, they really take their craft seriously. I requested a Roaring Twenties theme from Louis Pettinelli and they went above and beyond to make it happen. The singer Karlea was phenomenal and did an amazing job of keeping our guests engaged and entertained. The musicians were all courteous, professional, and exceptionally talented. They dressed appropriately for our wedding theme and many of the guests at the Hawthorne Hotel wanted to take pictures with Karlea in her Twenties attire. In addition to being a wonderful experience, they were also a great value for the price. These are top quality musicians and we paid a reasonable price for the band. I highly recommend this group for your wedding.

Awarded Best of Zola
In Summer ‘22 I stood in a wedding for which Steven was the DJ. My then fiance and I were so impressed with him that we took a business card and wanted to hire him for our wedding in Winter ‘23. He took considerable effort not only to understand how we imagined our wedding, but also sharing his expertise during our planning stages. He gave us insightful recommendations and one or two cautionary tales–never to scare us, rather to help educate us. When the day came, Steven made such a lasting impression on our friends and family. The dance floor was electric all night long! A year later people still tell my wife and I how much fun they had at our wedding reception, much of the credit owed to Steven. We recommend Carter Events & Entertainment to any of our friends who will listen!

My husband and I had a very specific vision in mind for the music, and Ryan brought it to life perfectly. My guests raved about him. I cannot recommend Ryan Shephard enough - he was truly amazing and played a big part in making our wedding day so special.

Cuarteto Guataca 

5.0

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Ashmore, IL for additional fees

Bassist and bandleader Josh Levine got his start in the professional music business busking in SoHo with The Flying Neutrinos in ’93, so when NYC shut down in Spring of 2020, he capitalized on his experience as a street performer and began to play regularly in the parks of NYC with percussionist and sonero, Jainardo Batista, renowned flutist Itai Kriss making his debut on Cuban trés guitar, and María Raquel on vocals and minor percussion. Before long, the quartet had generated some buzz, several venues hired them to play outdoors and pianist Gabriel Chakarji and Grammy winning flutist and vocalist Jeremy Bosch became staples of the group.

I have used Cuarteto Guataca both personally (birthdays, family events) and professionally as a wedding/ event florist and event planner for YEARS. Every time they manage to get everyone on their feet. They are super professional always and extremely easy to work with. Hands down, Josh and his band will always be my first choice for latin entertainment (any entertainment for that matter)!!
