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!

We rented our audio guestbook for our wedding from Spike Events and it was a huge hit! The rotary phone looked so beautiful with the rest of our decor, and our guests had so much fun leaving us messages all night long. After the wedding, we were able to listen back to the recordings, make a couple of minor edits, and then they put all of the recordings on a custom vinyl for us! The vinyl has a custom sticker with our names and wedding date and location. It is the absolute best "guestbook" we could have asked for. We're so grateful that we worked with Spike Events to create this beautiful, fun keepsake!

Joe and his team were incredible! All of our guests are STILL talking about how great Joe was - he picked perfect songs that were a hit with our crowd across generations and included some of our all time favorites as well. We gave him a few do not plays and just a couple must plays, but he handled the rest perfectly!! Fine Tune Entertainment has an easy to use planning website, where we were able to edit our timeline and song choices throughout the process - this helped keep everything super organized. Joe was excellent at keeping the schedule moving with speeches, photos and dancing. We also used Fine Tune Entertainment's sister company for the photo booth which was incredibly high quality and a major HIT with our guests. They had the option to get digital copies or take home a printed one! We added 10 up lights to our space as well and Joe perfectly managed color changes to enhance the party vibe. We highly recommend Joe & Fine Tune Entertainment to couples in the Boston/MA area because of the incredible music played, the calm demeanor and excellent communication throughout the process! Definitely add the photo booth if you can, it was so worth it :)

We could not have been happier working with Keith and Alan! Keith was instrumental leading up to the big day in ensuring everything went smoothly. He is so easy to work with and a great communicator when it comes to logistics. We had no worries at all that the music would be a hit at our wedding. Press Play Entertainment was super flexible with song selections and even helped us to play a few traditional Greek songs that meant a lot to my family.

DJ Tay worked with us in the months leading up to the wedding to coordinate instrumental piano covers for our ceremony which turned out beautifully. We also gave him a spreadsheet with songs we definitely wanted to play, others that were maybes and a few not to. He worked off this list but there were still a lot of songs I’d hoped to play that we didn’t hear, and also a handful I hadn’t asked for - but it is what it is. He also brought some great colorful lighting and uplights for the space which really added to the vibe. Overall Taylor did a good job DJ-ing our wedding reception! (Some fun hora photos to share)

Brick Park really brought the fun, so talented, it was more like a concert than a typical wedding. I would highly recommend getting the DJ to spin songs while the band takes a break.

The quality of their work and the value they provided was exceptional - they were professional, fun to work with, and incredibly talented. Their music went perfectly with the laidback, joyful vibe we were going for, and Tashane, our DJ kept the dance floor full all night long. Tashane was very responsive, flexible, and read the mood of our guests perfectly, and ensured we had the wedding day we envisioned.

Awarded Best of Zola
We could rave about DJ Thrilla all day long, but in the words of our wedding guests: “Best dance floor we’ve seen in a long time!” It’s been weeks since our wedding and our guests can’t stop talking about how great the music was. Arthur did a great job with the ceremony and cocktail hour, and managed a tricky parent dance section (multiple sets of parents & timing!) We requested a Taylor Swift mashup and he exceeded expectations and made it the highlight of our night. The dance floor was always packed, and Arthur did a great job of taking into account our requests while playing music everyone would enjoy. We opted to use uplighting as well, which looked beautiful during dinner (we chose a warm lighting) and was so fun for the dance floor with flashing lights. By the end of the night, he even had guests asking him to travel to Texas to DJ their wedding! Booking DJ Thrilla was one of the best vendor decisions we made for our wedding and we could not recommend him more!

East Coast Soul is a premier funk, soul, and R&B ensemble collective. East Coast Soul is more than a band.

We have curated a timeless repertoire through years of performance experience and proudly present it with our own unique, soulful style and energy. We can’t wait to talk with you guys!

I cannot recommend East Coast Soul enough. My husband and I got married in Maine earlier this month and our guests are still talking about the band. Going into wedding planning, music was a key element for us, and something we cared a lot about. Throughout the planning process, the team at ESC was communicative, organized, helpful, and fun! We ended up having to make some weather-related changes the week of the wedding, and as stressful as it was for us, we felt so supported by ECS throughout it all. And boy did they not disappoint!! The dance floor was full the entire night for good reason. They absolutely rocked. If you're looking for a wedding band and love incredible music... look no further. ECS is the best of the best.

You’ve seen wedding bands before. But you’ve never seen one like us. Our wedding nights are, in a word, unforgettable. We specialize in epic dance hits, teary-eyed singalongs, and everything in between. Book us for your event and you'll get our award-winning Boston Wedding Band & DJ combo, PLUS our professional sound and stage lighting system at one simple rate, with absolutely NO overtime charges. We travel all over New England and beyond, so when you’re ready for our industry-leading talent and a game-changing event package all at one affordable wedding band price, we’re ready to celebrate with you.

We are still on a high from the most fun night of our lives all thanks to BeachNights band, Chris and DJ Connor!!! If you want to have music at your wedding that everyone will be talking about for years to come, book BeachNights for your reception and the DJ combo for your other music needs (ceremony, cocktail hour, afterparty). Booking BeachNights for all our music needs was the best decision we made for our wedding day. BeachNights far exceeded our expectations. Chris is so professional, organized, and easy to work with. They have so much experience in all types of venues; you will be glad you have a band who knows exactly what they need to do to put on a seamless performance. They keep the music process worry-free so you can focus on other aspects of wedding planning. A piece of unsolicited advice if I may, book BeachNights for everything: ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, afterparty. It was so much easier being able to talk to ONE person and coordinate all music through ONE group rather than having 4 music vendors involved in the planning process. They take time to learn about you as a couple, your music wants and needs, likes and dislikes so that every single song is exactly what you want and how you pictured your music on your wedding day. THANK YOU Chris and team for making our wedding dreams come true!

  • Serves Dorchester, MA

Originally a house party/lounge/club DJ, I perform at select weddings in New England, Connecticut, and beyond. My emceeing style is pretty low-key and I typically like to let the music do the talking.

Mickey DJ’d our wedding on 3/11/23 at Hamilton Hall in Salem, MA, and every step of working with him was great! We met a few times over zoom before the wedding to go over questions and talk about our music vibe and vision for the night. Mickey was incredibly responsive, thoughtful, and communicative, both in those meetings and email exchanges leading up to the big day. During every phase of the wedding, Mickey found a way to blend a variety of genres that really worked at each point, and had the dance floor moving all night. We requested some songs you might not always hear at a wedding, and he pulled it off and the crowd loved it! We had rave reviews from many of our guests, and I only wish we could have had more time on the dance floor. I’d recommend Mickey to anyone!

"I am an eclectic wedding violinist based in the Worcester-Boston area of Massachusetts. I perform for wedding ceremonies, cocktail hours, dinner receptions, first dances, and dance receptions.

I am able to play a variety of different music genres (top 100 hits, music from Bridgerton, hip hop, R&B, EDM, rock, big band, & classical) and can perform on my electric violin with your DJ for your reception. I am able to provide my own Bose sound system which can be battery-operated for outdoor areas."

Kathryn is my GO TO live musician for all of my couples. She's a super talented violinist and an absolute dream to work with. So accomodating, professional, organized, and kind. It's so much fun to see the guests enjoy her music - especially when she plays more modern music that people aren't typically used to hearing on the violin. She's the perfect fit for a sweet and romantic ceremony followed by a lively and upbeat cocktail hour. She's even played full receptions at some of my events! I highly recommend working with Kathryn!

Our passion for delivering show-stopping performances combined with our commitment to client satisfaction is why we were recognized as one of the Best of Weddings bands for the past two years.

Nick and the American Midnight band were the perfect choice for our wedding entertainment.

He asked thoughtful questions and cared deeply about making sure the music and flow of the reception were tailored to us as a couple. His attention to detail really showed the night of the event. The band put on an incredible performance - the song choices and setlist they curated had our guests dancing all night long. We especially appreciated how they wove in special musical touches that reflected our taste and personality. If you're looking for a band that will take the time to understand you as a couple and translate that into an unforgettable night of music and memories, we can't recommend American Midnight highly enough. They were true professionals and we feel so grateful they were part of our wedding celebration.

Awarded Best of Zola
If you want your guests to dance and have a fun and unforgettable night at your wedding then you need to hire Business Time. I remember reading all of Business Time’s reviews/testimonials back when we first began our wedding planning, and thinking “wow how is it possible for EVERY single review to be so glowing?”. Well now we know! Obviously a 2020 wedding meant a lot of plan changes and stress, but Mark and Business Time had our back from the get go and were ready to support whatever version of a wedding we were able to have. That turned out to be an intimate backyard tent wedding with just us, our immediate family, and the rock ‘n roll band known as Business Time (as Zach likes to say). We were hoping to make the best of things and have as much fun as possible with our family given the circumstances, and BT delivered! Our small group was up on their feet dancing all night. Several faces were melted during lead guitarist Zach’s amazing guitar solos. The band has a masterful ability to read the room and change the set list as needed on the fly, mix genres, and seamlessly transition between songs. They are all extremely talented musicians and we felt so lucky to have them perform for us in our own backyard. They were the best part of the best day of our lives, and I can’t speak highly enough about them

He made the reception so much fun - he really knows how to read the crowd! Very fun DJ! During the planning process, we met twice. He was super punctual and was able to answer all of our questions.

YOUR WEDDING DAY IS ALREADY SPECIAL. WE'RE THE BAND THAT CAN MAKE IT LEGENDARY. We're a wedding band. That's what we do. And we're SUPER good at it. Your wedding or event is totally customized from start to finish, and our event team is with you every step of the way.

My wife and I contracted Legends for our reception and they were worth every penny. They were accommodating and easy to work with, had a huge list for music to choose from for requests as well as able to make great recommendations and read the environment so we didn't have to choose every song. Last but not least their talent is second to none and had so many guests asking where did you find them. Highly recommend for any event or to go see them live in Boston as we've done many times.

We couldn’t be more pleased with Lucky13 for our wedding! They truly made our special day unforgettable with their incredible performance. From the moment they started playing, they created an atmosphere that was both elegant and lively, perfectly matching the mood of our celebration. The band’s range of music was impressive, catering to all tastes and keeping our guests entertained throughout the evening. For a four person ensemble they certainly brought the energy or a much larger band. They seamlessly transitioned between genres, and their energy and professionalism were evident in every song. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how fantastic the music was! What really stood out was how they were willing to learn and play our first dance song live, Love Song by 311. Thank you Lucky 13 for being such a pivotal part of our wedding day. Your music was a highlight of the celebration, and we’re so grateful for your contribution to making our day so special! Best wedding band EVER!! Hoping we make it up to a show soon!

We had DJ Russ and his son Brandon Sheehan. The two them are amazing, they are accommodating, and they are so beyond helpful with everything they do. My wedding was beautiful and these guys make sure everything is perfect. They brought lighting that set the mood perfectly. I would hire them over and over again. They are crowd pleasers and really know how to engage and work a room to get people moving. They have a book they threw together over time as DJs and let me say I wouldn’t have been able to survive without that wedding music survival bible! I could never thank them enough for what they did for my husband and I. They made this a very memorable and beautiful moment I wish I could relive over and over! Thank you guys!

DJ Dana did our wedding on 8/31/24 and we highly recommend him! He took into account my wedding playlists, and knew when to play the right songs. It took a lot of stress out of our day. He was very early, and set up with plenty of time to spare. His speaker system and microphones for toasts worked great. He brought his own lights to add to the party and even added some to our sweetheart table to spice it up! He was very thoughtful, and even sang us L-OV-E by Nat King Cole very tastefully and casually while people were finishing dinner. Highly recommend… thank you DJ Dana!

PK And The Mighty Seven 

5.0

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Serves Dorchester, MA

PK and the Mighty Seven has been celebrating with newly married couples since 2016! We were originally formed as a Jamiroquai tribute band, playing mostly music by the famed UK group along with other songs we enjoyed. Since that time, we've expanded our song list and played many weddings, which we love to do!

Awarded Best of Zola
Let me start by saying that we are not the type to write reviews for anybody - good or bad - but for the sake of future individuals/couples looking to book PK and the Mighty Seven we feel obligated to say that if you are looking for a band to entertain whatever party you are hosting you MUST choose PK and the Mighty Seven. To start, Matt was incredibly communicative and responsive during the initial planning stages, promptly responding to e-mails and joining several Zoom calls leading up to our event. We had a vision for our special day and they accommodated each and every one of our requests. On the day of they arrived early and did the necessary prep work to ensure they were fully situated to provide our guests with the night of a lifetime. They took special care to accommodate our unusual first dance request, song recommendations, and the ambiance we sought to instill. We had a wide array of guests and the overwhelmingly consistent feedback we received was that the band was AMAZING. No exaggeration - the majority of our guests said they were the best band they'd ever experienced. If you are getting married or have a special event in their area you will be doing yourselves an immense disservice not to hire them to make your evening as spectacular as you want it to be.

My philosophy for music is, "You bring the dancers and I'll bring the music".  I'll take your requests and my years of experience and turn your wedding into something your guests will never forget.  In order to play the right song at the right time, it's all about observation and knowing your crowd.  As I am selecting and mixing songs, I am attentive to everyone's reaction. Years of performing gives me an understanding of action and reaction... an easier way to put it is, I know how to rock the socks off your wedding!

Shane with Mercier Music Weddings and Events was the consummate professional for our wedding entertainment. His communication throughout the planning process was personal, prompt and respectful, making us feel like valued clients. The sound quality and song selection the day-of was excellent. Shane interacted with our guests and could read the room, knowing just when to transition the music from our first dance into the next activity. He kept the style of music going that appealed to all our guests, from young to old. Shane's ability to read the room and keep all age groups engaged really made for an interactive and fun reception. We were extremely pleased with Shane's services for our special day and highly recommend Mercier Music Weddings and Events.

The Music Boutique was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very beginning, Scott was extremely helpful and responsive, and always providing us with great ideas, suggestions, and guidance to make our day special. We had a duo playing for our ceremony and during the cocktail hour and then we had a small 3 person band playing for our reception. And it was the perfect amount of people. We had spoken to some other bands and they all kept saying we need some big band for the reception, but since we were having less than 100 people at the wedding, we didn’t think it made sense to have like a 10 person band, it just seemed like it would overwhelm the whole wedding. And we knew we wanted a band component since my father plays guitar and I had a feeling would want to play a song at some point. Then we spoke with Scott, he seemed to understand our vision of having a small band. He loved the idea of my father playing a song, and made suggestions on when was the perfect time for him to play, and even laughed along with our idea of playing “September” by Earth, Wind, and Fire, over and over again, since we were getting married on “the 21st night of September” (we did not do this)! The day of the band was amazing! They even took the time to learn our first dance song, which was a fairly unknown track, and played it beautifully, and surprised us with playing it. Since we thought it was just going to be a recorded version of the song. That was very special to us! And they were more than happy to let my dad play his song to us. Overall, the band's performance was lively and engaging, and they kept our guests dancing all night long. We couldn't have asked for a better band to help make our wedding celebration so memorable, and couldn’t have done it with Scott!

This band is LEGIT. We booked them for our wedding last month and they totally delivered! We ended up doing a 9-piece ensemble, with smaller groupings for the ceremony and cocktail hour. Loren and the crew made it so easy for us, chatting about our style and what we wanted to hear - mostly funk and 80s. They even learned a few songs for us to truly customize our day. As music nerds ourselves, my husband and I couldn’t just trust our wedding to anyone - we both HIGHLY recommend booking them for your wedding!
