There are wedding bands, and then there’s The Hook Club. The minute we heard them at one of their showcase experiences we knew we had found the purveyors of soul and energy that we were looking for. The Hook Club played a major role in making our wedding reception an unforgettable celebration. The energy they brought was simply electric and it’s no surprise that we received countless compliments from friends and family about how much fun they had.

Awarded Best of Zola
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!

Where to start when working with M.C. Fish?! Right from the first video interview, Dave brought such a great and personal energy when talking about our wedding with us. He was so incredibly knowledgeable when it comes to every aspect of the reception and made us feel like we were in great hands every step of the way. Whenever we had questions he was right on top of responses, and even helped us with aspects outside of the music/reception. When it came time for our final planning meeting he was incredibly thorough with every detail on how the night would go. We had a very specific vibe for our cocktail hour, pre-ceremony and dinner music playlists, and Dave took down every last song on our lists. We had the wonderful opportunity to attend a friend's wedding where Dave was the DJ (the person who highly recommended him) and I know that even if we hadn’t curated our own lists he would have killed it with his own!! On the actual night of our wedding Dave couldn’t have been a better hype man, he got the energy in our reception electric and the dance floor packed. He even facilitated and flushed out the details of the best photo frenzy I’ve personally seen at a wedding. Working with M.C. Fish is 10/10 recommended for the easiest planning process and best wedding reception ever!!

A Berklee College of Music grad, Sam has played countless gigs in rooms big and small and the large song list he plays from covers nearly any type of event looking for a solo acoustic vibe. For wedding ceremonies Sam is the perfect choice for those looking for more of a modern singer/songwriter vibe than the traditional wedding march. His cocktail hour sets are performed with precision and complexity while always maintaining a comfortable volume for guests to enjoy themselves and socialize, something his clients all appreciate.

Awarded Best of Zola
Sam travelled a significant distance to Bar Harbor Maine for our rehearsal dinner. Planning and coordinating was extremely easy, straightforward and efficient. Sam was extremely flexible given the unpredictable weather, and was more than willing to move his entire set-up to accommodate us. While we were expecting a bit of background music, some relatable tunes, and the occasional rogue dancer, we ended up with so much more. With Sams playlist, and the help of an open bar, our guests went from mingling to cutting a rug. It unintentionally felt like a full on wedding reception. It was fantastic. We could not have had more fun. We even coaxed Sam into an encore. We could not be happier that we stumbled across Sam. Thanks Sam!

I have also been in your shoes (4 years is still a newlywed right?) and completely understand how planning a wedding can get overwhelming but choosing music for your wedding day is something you should look forward to! I can't wait to hear more about your wedding day!

Awarded Best of Zola
The online planning forms made it easy to plan out our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. We had several specific requests that DJ Rick was able to accommodate. We wanted classic rock for the majority of our cocktail hour and created a list of artists for Rick to work from which he played the perfect set. The music was a true reflection of us which is exactly what we wanted. We had a great time dancing the night away with our family and friends. The uplighting was beautiful and helped enhance our venue. The photo booth was worth every penny, our guests could not get enough of it! We would highly recommend Arpeggio if music is important to you! The entertainment can make or break your wedding and Arpeggio knocked it out of the park and we still have guests talking about how much fun they had at our wedding!
