I hired this agency for our hedge fund company anniversary in London and as well for my daughter's wedding in South of France. Steve and Patryce were amazing listeners. We also loved the fact that they are a couple that work hard together for their family and have strong work ethics. We did not know that Steve was such a awesome drummer: My God! We thought he just ran the company. We understand why his network of musicians is so large. I will definitely hire them again. They made me look great in front of my high net worth clients and partners and everyone was on the dance floor at my daughter 's wedding.

Awarded Best of Zola
I've seen Grant play at various venues and can't recommend him highly enough! He's incredibly professional and thorough, tailoring his set and performance to the tone of the event and blending in seamlessly. He has a beautiful singing voice and creates a really impressive one man band effect using his looping setup to layer in all parts of the song live in front of you. It's pretty incredible to see how he builds the song real-time without any backing tracks or pre-recorded stuff. I would feel confident hiring him for anything from a small cocktail party to a full wedding reception. Grant is the best!

Awarded Best of Zola
I asked Sam to play at my daughter's 40th surprise birthday party. We had both seen him perform at Cisco's in New Bedford, and we really enjoyed his music. He arrived on time and had everything set up and ready before my daughter arrived. At the party, he played a great blend of classics and newer tunes. He has a great voice and stage presence. He got everyone up on the dance floor and was willing to entertain requests on the spot. The night will go down as one of our great memories thanks to Sam.

DJ Dayglow 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Serves Essex, MA for additional fees

I’m DJ Dayglow, a queer feminist DJ in Providence, RI. I play eclectic pop and disco at weddings, art events and parties at big fancy venues like the Museum of Fine Arts, Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, the Institute for Contemporary Art, MassArt, and the Camden International Film Festival.

Book DJ Dayglow - you will not regret it!! Our wedding was over a year ago and our friends and family are still raving about what an incredible DJ we had!! Kara was the most amazing person to work with - she took the time to understand exactly what we wanted, what kind of music we were excited about and what to avoid... and she absolutely NAILED IT. Our dance floor was completely packed from start to finish. As a queer couple, we really wanted to work with vendors who identify as and/or have a lot of experience with queer couples. Kara checked those boxes, making us feel SO affirmed and comfortable. She even helped me pull off an epic surprise - a drag queen performance during our reception as a wedding gift for my partner :) Can't recommend Kara enough - she's truly the best!

Guy Michel Music 

5.0

  • Solo performer
  • Starts at $1,000
  • Serves Essex, MA for additional fees

I perform on an electric cello that lets me move freely and interact directly with your guests, adding a dynamic and personal touch to the event. With a keen ability to read the room, I adjust the music in real time to create the perfect atmosphere, ensuring an unforgettable experience for you and your guests.

Mr. Michel is definitely a smooth operator. He knows how to work a room well. He knows how to get people to engage, and he knows when to blend into the background. He doesn’t act like a rockstar, even tho he easily could demand that type of attention based on his accomplishments. Simply a pleasure to work with.

The Vintage DJ 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Essex, MA for additional fees

The Vintage DJ presents the most electrifying music of the 20th Century as it was meant to be experienced! Spinning only original 45s, 33s and 78s from the 1920s through the 1970s on two tube-powered vintage record players, The Vintage DJ arrives and we hear that unique sound, filling the air with the feeling that anything is possible. His killer record collection runs the gamut between Jazz and Latin, Soul and R&B, Rock ’n’ Roll, British Invasion, Reggae and much more. As The Vintage DJ, Jonathan has been setting dance floors alight from New York City to Shanghai to Los Angeles.

When we were planning our wedding we wanted to make sure that everyone who came - our nearest and dearest - would enjoy every minute of it, and remember it fondly for years to come. The Vintage DJ worked with us to curate the music hour by hour. From arrivals, wedding entrance, cocktail hour, and party, every song was perfect, and everyone - even those who don't normally get up to dance - danced! Having a record player and the beautiful vinyl covers displayed was a beautiful touch which made our special day, even more special! Jonathan is a complete professional and a pleasure to work with!

Cuarteto Guataca 

5.0

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Essex, MA 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)!!

We can't say enough about how amazing Carte Blanche was at our event. Not only are they incredible musicians, but Kate the bandleader made everything so smooth from the planning process. She was very thorough and made sure everything went off without a hitch. They learned a few special songs for our ceremony and reception and put their own special touch on them to make it really special for us. They looked so glamorous and our friends and family are still telling us how unique they were, and couldn't believe how many languages the singer can sing in! This band is truly special and will elevate your wedding. Thank you Carte Blanche for an unforgettable night!
