I am over the moon with how absolutely perfect things were with DJ Zach! I have very particular music tastes and knew I didn't want your "typical" wedding music (though I'm sure Zach could do a great job with that too); after vibing with Zach on the phone and connecting over our shared love of music, I felt confident he could deliver a wedding I could be personally proud of. And boy, did he deliver! We had an absolutely packed dance floor all night. He did such a fantastic job taking the cue from my song selections and finding the beautiful middle ground between music lover and crowd pleaser. I'm so thrilled Zach was my partner-in-music and helped create my dream wedding!

Melody Stein Harpist, LLC 

5.0

  • Solo performer
  • Serves El Portal, FL

I have been playing the harp professionally for events and weddings for over 20 years. I recently graduated with my doctorate from University of Miami in Harp and I love playing for weddings, birthdays, church services, etc. in the community. With input from the couple, I curate a specialized set list that reflect their personalities and musical vision. My services can include a 20-30 minute prelude, Bridal Party Processional, Family Entrance, Bridal Entrance, Quiet music during the ceremony, Recessional, Cocktail Hour background music, and Reception background music. Lets schedule a free consultation to start collaborating!

Melody was the harpist for our wedding ceremony, and she was wonderful to work with. She has a great portfolio of songs and was willing to learn a new song that I really wanted for walking down the aisle. Melody was kind, diligent, communicative, we met early on to select songs and discuss ceremony schedule. We had a few setbacks in setting up our outdoor wedding, and Melody was flexible with everything, adjusted and helped the ceremony run smoothly. Listening to her beautiful harp playing while I walked down the aisle was very uplifting. I highly recommend Melody as a harpist!

Bay Kings Band

  • Starts at $2,020
  • Serves El Portal, FL

We’re live music experts, wedding enthusiasts, and party starters, infusing every event with energy and full dance floors. We’re here to make your wedding the greatest party of your life! The Bay Kings Band are a premium, customizable 3 to 14 piece band specializing in high-energy music–at a sensible price. Reach out to get started! Visit our website for upcoming showcase dates where you can see the band perform LIVE before booking. You can also tailor the dream band to suit your style and budget. We also offer Photo & Video services!

Between the professionalism, the communication, down to the loving and outrageously fun atmosphere this band will create for your wedding day, what I came to rave about was their ability to turn a bad situation into a memorable one. So many “audibles” had to be called during my reception as there were coordination mishaps and the timing for just about everything went off the rails beginning with dinner. Not only did Bay Kings Band keep the atmosphere light (to where my guests noticed NOTHING), our MC essentially coached me through the remaining timeline of my reception and turned what felt like a bad trip into the most incredible party I’ve ever been to (humble brag) which just so happened to be my own wedding. THANK YOU BAY KINGS BAND ️ if I could give you a million stars I would!!!

We used Sound Event DJs for our wedding and used their DJ, photo booth, and up-lighting services. Monica helped answer all my questions before booking. She even sent me pictures and videos of the venue we were using to see their work with past clients and even FaceTimed me while she was at our venue to see their set up live! This really helped me make the decision to book with them since I am a very visual person and appreciated the extra mile Monica went to make sure I had no questions left unanswered. During the planning process Monica was always easy to get in touch with and answer any questions I had. She even helped with last minute additions I requested like adding a guest book for the photobooth and editing some songs for the reception. On the day of our wedding both Monica and Jorge and their assistants were great! Everyone loved the photobooth, the up-lights really helped set the mood, and the DJ played great songs to keep us dancing all night long. While we did have a long list of “must play” songs, Jorge did not play all of them but I think this is because he was trying to keep people on the dance floor and keep the vibe up so he went with some of his own selections which worked out great! We also had a gobo light and personalized picture print outs from the photo booth which Monica was very patient with showing me the many different options for each. I highly recommend Sound Event DJ for your wedding! They helped us have an amazing wedding and party!

They were very interactive with the crowd and even let the groom (a guitar player) get up there and jam out with them. This was such a fun addition to the wedding and we loved every minute of it!
