Frederick DJs 

4.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,850
  • Serves Franklintown, PA

My team of DJs and I truly appreciate it. A little background on who I am and what sets Frederick DJs apart from the rest. Starting as a DJ as a kid, yes, a kid of only 14! I took a huge interest in the entertainment industry. It started a little before then, but that’s when I got into DJing. I fell in love with playing music for others while working at a roller-skating rink. (Wisconsin Sk8 University) I later moved on from the roller rink where I became a DJ assistant for a solo DJ who specialized in weddings. Let’s just day that gave me a whole new love for the job.

We recently had Robert DJ our June wedding. Pros were that he was on time and friendly. He handled little hiccups smoothly and w/o complaint. Prices are reasonable and he offers a lot of services, like ceremony recordings and fun add-ons. He really can be a one-stop shop for a lot of wedding entertainment. While I think he is a good all-purpose DJ, I'm not sure that he was the right fit for us in the end. Specifically our two biggest concerns were that 1) he didn't consistently use the language we had asked him to use to address guests and 2) communication leading up to the wedding was less organized than I would have preferred. In our case, we really prioritized communicating with vendors about our desire for an affirming, somewhat non-traditional wedding. From the onset when we hired vendors, we asked about comfort and experience working with a diverse range of guests and requested that vendors be attentive to using inclusive language, especially as it relates to including LGBTQ folks. In the case of DJ services, we requested he not use gendered language like "ladies and gentlemen" due to the gender diversity of our guests. We also had an integrated wedding party so we weren't using some of the traditional wedding party language. I get that this is a specific and maybe unusual request, so we wanted to be really sure our vendors were okay with it, and Robert was super friendly and agreeable when we talked about it. I think Robert's intentions were really good here -- he expressed a lot of desire to make sure he got this right and willingness to be careful. Maybe those requests were made too long ago though, because when we got to the day of, we had a lot of issues here. Our coordinator had to talk to him about using less gendered language, which did not seem to result in much improvement (there was definitely effort...at one point he said "ladies and....guests....esteemed guests" but then he went right back to "ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls"), and it was really frustrating for both us and her. He also told us we'd have a ceremony recording the day after. There was really no rush, but that was what he told us would happen. Instead, we got the recording a week later than he had originally stated, and we were not told it would be delayed until I asked twice. I think it's also worth noting that the ceremony recording did not include the music for procession and recession. (This is on us, we should have confirmed that would be included, but it was disappointing) Communication tended to be a little last-minute and unscheduled -- e.g., spontaneous phone calls rather than putting something on the calendar. Followups were sometimes required. He also texted me (bride) the morning of asking if he could bring an assistant and requesting we add a meal for that additional person. Not a big deal, but I do wish he would have communicated in advance/not while we were all trying to get ready. Otherwise, I thought/heard feedback that some of the music transitions were a bit awkward, but not to an extent that was too disruptive. None of these are big issues, but the multitude of small communication inconveniences and frustrations did add up to where I would not feel comfortable recommending Frederick DJs to a friend. Robert is nice, but I'm not sure he was the right call for our needs. He might be a better fit for someone else, particularly if you are looking to include a number of add-ons and want to use one, reasonably-priced company

DJMcvibes Entertainment 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Franklintown, PA

Dj McVibes found a job at a production/entertainment company where he learned the ins and outs of being a wedding/event dj. From there he started to dj on his own as he became more confident and has done many Weddings/events and still continues. He later also took more courses to learn more about djing such as scratching and live mashups, but also took courses on how to produce his own music. Dj Mcvibes now works with various dj companies and runs his own dj business.

Ian was a fantastic wedding DJ. He met with us before the wedding to discuss requests and ask about vibe, etc. He was much more interested in making the wedding what we wanted instead of some others we met with that seemed like they wanted to be the focus of attention. Highly recommend

Rich loves learning new music and sharing it with friends and family. When he has a special day like a wedding performance, he thrives on the energy that surrounds the event. Rich takes the magic of the wedding ceremony and makes it unique and memorable with the emotive power of his guitar music. Rich's talent really blooms when he is part of a wedding ceremony as he feeds off the vibes of the special occasion.

Rich Thompson was the perfect selection to play for our wedding ceremony! He was extremely easy and flexible to work with. Rich is a super professional and nice guy. He is classically trained and you can tell by the quality of his playing. As a plus, his fees are very reasonable, and believe me I called many musicians. Rich gave me such peace of mind feeling confident and comfortable that he would play the songs we chose exactly how we wanted them. He carefully listened to our requests and helped plan the selections with giving great suggestions that I didn't even think of. I would absolutely, without reservation, recommend Rich to make your perfect day perfectly beautiful with his music!!

Awarded Best of Zola
DJ Zaruba was a pleasure to work with - from first meeting, he made us feel very comfortable that he does this because he loves it, and wasn't going to be someone who downplays the wedding to throw a great party. The planning platform was very detailed and easy to use and we were able to select our music up until the week of the wedding (which is great, because we ended up planning the music pretty last minute). On the day of the wedding, DJ Zaruba did a great job picking music for the dinner and cocktail hour, and we got so many compliments on the DJ for the music he played and the flow of the music. There weren't any breaks in the music or awkward mismatched transitions at all, everything flowed very smoothly. Thank you so much for your help making a wonderful, music-filled evening of celebration and fun with our loved ones!

  • Solo performer
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Franklintown, PA for additional fees

I am a NY-based Harpist with over 18 years of experience. I have been fortunate enough to play for dozens of professional events and weddings along the East Coast. I have performed at many different events, from weddings to corporate Holiday parties to tea parties to retirement parties. Some of the locations I have been lucky to perform include the Marriott Marquis in Times Square and The Willard Intercontinental in Washington D.C. Most recently I was selected to be a featured musician on an episode of the Drew Barrymore show!

Working with Terrease was an absolute delight! She added such grace to our event! She was able to customize one of her packages to suit our needs for our day. She learned a song- creating her own arrangement for the song and it came out beautifully! Our guests were raving over her unique selection of songs! Our only regret is that we didn't hire her for our cocktail hour too!

Mariachi Hidalgo N.Y.C 

5.0

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Serves Franklintown, PA for additional fees

Mariachi Hidalgo was founded in 2017 and is led by our Musical Director Hernan Hidalgo Treviño who is a first-generation musician within his family. At the age of 21, Hernan is New York City’s, as well as the East Coast’s, 1st ever “Youngest Musical Director of a Mariachi Band”. Hernan graduated from the CUNY of Hunter College as a Music and History major to better prepare himself for both the musical and culture of mariachi. Within the first 2 years, Mariachi Hidalgo has performed in some of New York's exclusive places. Hernan's main goal is to inspire and motivate other youths to continue this musical tradition of mariachi.

My name is Kiyoko Nakamura, my husband is Mexican American, and I am Japanese. We celebrated our 15-year Anniversary here in New York City on December 18th, 2021. (We are from California) I wanted to surprise my husband with a Mariachi Band (he loves Mariachi) that offered quality in service and performance. I have a M.M from Kyoto University for Music & Art, and I fully understand what I was looking for in a Mariachi band. I investigated each Mariachi band here in NYC, their quality as musicians, social media, reviews etc. Many mariachi bands stated, "they are the best" or "Number 1 in NEW YORK CITY", but I can assure you all from looking at their YouTube performances & social medias that they are NOT. A few did play back, had a CD recording of an actual PROFESSIONAL band in the background while these so called "Best in NYC" made it seem as if it was them performing, FALSE advertisement. Once I saw Mariachi Hidalgo NYC, directed person with a B.A in Music & History. (Having a degree in any accredited field is one way to ensure the person knows what they are offering.) I investigated everything about this ensemble before contacting. YouTube , Instagram, all their social medias in order to understand whom I was calling. After checking out everything, proper technique on their instruments and vocals, no play back, presentable, quality musicians. I knew this band was going to be AMAZING! From the moment I called to book them until the performance's date this is what I received. A very professional service to not just me but my husband and guests as well. Very detailed in terms of explaining the full booking process, punctual, proper technique on their instruments & voice, an amazing show that interacts with the crowd. This band had it all! Everyone loved it! Visual Aspect:/ Performance Technical playing, clean suits, well groomed, presentable. 100/100 If you are looking for a mediocre or an economical option or a group to just make noise regardless of how they sound. Then I would not recommend this band for your event. If, however, you are looking for a PROFESSIONAL band to make your special moments even more memorial. Then YES, I recommend this band too you, Mariachi Hidalgo NYC! You will not be disappointed. Overall: Quality, Punctual, Presentable, Professional, Show/Performance, Amazing service from start to finish. If we ever visit New York City again, we will definitely contract Mariachi Hidalgo again for all of our events. Best Regards, Kiyoko Nakamura Master's in Music, Kyoto University for Music & Art

JIM LOFTUS Pianist/Singer/1-Man-Band/ORGANIST 

5.0

  • Solo performer
  • Starts at $300
  • Serves Franklintown, PA

I am a pro pianist/singer/keyboardist and Church organist performing since 1983 in the Lehigh Valley of PA prominently but also Philadelphia/Philly suburbs/MontCo/Bucks/Chester/Berks; also extensively in NYC/NJ; trips include Syracuse/Albany NY, Alexandria VA, Atlanta GA and Las Vegas for private events. I play wedding ceremonies and receptions/private corporate events/birthdays/anniversaries/house parties on either a provided piano OR as a "one-man-band" on my YAMAHA PSR1500 keyboard. I'm a Church organist as well since the late 1970s if that was a need a client was seeking.

We knew we made the proper decision immediately. From the very beginning Jim reached out to us to share examples of his work, his song selections (and boy are there so many different genres to choose from) and assist us with suggestions that seemed to work for previous guests. As we got closer to our event, Jim continued to “check in” with us. We felt very comfortable and excited and Jim did not disappoint us. He not only played our requests, he played all of the musical requests. He was amazing. He had energy, played and sang extremely well, was professional and helped make the whole evening just perfect! He even followed up with us afterwards ....”just checking in”. What a guy - dependable, professional, talented and fun. We could not ask for more.
