Jenna the dj kept the party hopping all night! She literally was so great in ensuring the guests were kept in the loop the entire night. The couple loved x files and she was made aware and went out of her way to play the x files theme song as a surprise for them. Also, there was an inside joke with a cardboard cutout of Danny Devito. When they did a couples dance she even joked about how if someone didn’t have a partner they could dance with Danny. She was very personable and even helped clear plates in her free time. In addition, there was an issue where the hired officiant didn’t show up on time. I called Live Events as a back up and the owner Dennis told me he was an hour and a half away at another wedding but would come immediately. He rushed to our aid even when I told him the other officiant finally showed up. He showed up ready to help in any way he could. This company is top notch in all they do. Professional, polite, friendly, fun and ready to exceed your expectations. The only mistake you could make on your wedding day would be not hiring them.

Hudson DJ'ed our wedding and we can not recommend him enough! From the very beginning their team was so helpful and was easy to get a hold of any time I had a question. During the reception he played great music and kept the dance floor packed the whole night and even took requests. We've had several guests mention to us, when talking about the wedding, how good the music was and how FUN it was! We owe a lot of that to Hudson. He was also a great MC, the flow of events (intros, bouquet/garter toss, cake cutting, etc) went so smoothly. Overall, we couldn't have been happier with our DJ choice!

Felix & Fingers was the best addition to my wedding! We had a BLAST. It’s the best mix between a live band and sing along karaoke (but you don’t want your uncle to get the mic, you know?). They did beautiful ceremony music, incredible sax jazz during cocktail hour to keep it classy. Then, they kept everyone engaged and entertained for the reception, from my aunt in a walker to my college friends twerking. We danced the night away but lost our voices from screaming along with the songs too. 10/10 you can’t go wrong with dueling pianos - DJs and wedding bands are out, Felix & Fingers is IN!

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.

Having won the 2020 St. Louis Post Dispatch’s “Readers Choice Favorite Band” award as well as the “Best Wedding Band” by the Perfect Wedding Guide’s Vendors’ Choice Awards six years in a row, musicianship and style is the reason Griffin and the Gargoyles has played to packed houses for many years. Their extensive play-list and freshness keeps the crowds coming back for more.

They are hands down the best, most fun and entertaining band you could hire! They will get the dance floor moving and it will be a blast all night long! Look no further. If you are reading this, then you should take my advice and book them already!

We had a 10 day private event in Cancun. Party Down Live made the trip beyond amazing. They made each night a party and the guests would talk about them all day waiting for the next show. I was blown away by how versatile they are and how many songs form all genres they know. By far the lost entertaining cover band we’ve ever seen.

Our June wedding day was the definition of scattered showers and even though Libby and Farrell might have gotten rained on in the process they were unfazed and their music was the perfect accompaniment to a beautiful moment in our lives. I worked primarily with Farrell throughout the planning of our ceremony and she was so helpful in providing options both traditional, modern, and everything in between. She was open to a song outside of their provided list and did everything she could to give advice, offer her professional opinion, and help bring my thoughts to reality. I couldn't imagine having used anyone different. The clean beauty of these women's music will add an extra special touch to any wedding day that speaks for itself but doesn't overwhelm the true meaning of the day.
