Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Chris to be our DJ at first and he walked us through the process of what we needed to do and how they were going to make sure everything was perfect for our wedding! Later down, I asked about an MC for our wedding because I felt there was so much going on and I wouldn't have time to make sure everything was in order with vendors, timelines, and I didn't want to ask my family to do it for me. Chris assured me he would take care of all the details so all I had to do was arrive at my wedding, focus on myself and have the most amazing time. Chris truly went above and beyond, everything was handled, and I didn't have to panic over my vendors or timing, he was right there reminding me where I needed to be and if things were good to go ahead.

Aloha Erica Music - Acoustic Singer 

5.0

  • Solo performer
  • Serves Gainesville, FL

Voted #1 Best Band / Live Entertainment in Orlando Magazine's 2024 Best of Wedding Awards. Imagine your wedding day unfolding with music that perfectly complements each joyous moment. As you walk down the aisle, heartwarming melodies set the stage for your love story to come alive. This is the magic that Orlando wedding musician Aloha Erica creates for couples. Do you dream of: A romantic ceremony filled with enchanting melodies? An elegant cocktail hour where guests mingle to beautiful music? An unforgettable first dance? Aloha Erica curates a personalized soundscape you and your guests will be raving about forever.

Awarded Best of Zola
I'd summarize Erica in three words: thoughtful, professional, and most importantly, talented. Erica approaches her craft with you in mind. She takes the time to listen to your wants in an effort to tailor her performance to your day. For example, Erica spent the time to discuss everything from what we wanted the day to feel like to specific song requests. We selected a song she hadn't performed (Fields of Gold by Kina Grannis). She took the time to learn the song to ensure our wedding day tracked our expectations, and she did a fantastic job to boot! From start to finish, Erica operated like a well oiled machine. She knows how to fit into your wedding timeline and who to coordinate with to ensure a smooth process — she takes this burden off your plate. For example, Erica reached out to us when she knew it was time to start discussing our music and she took the initiative to reach out to our wedding planner to coordinate everything from when she sings, the audio set up, etc. I didn't have to double check or follow up with her once, and the day went flawlessly. Lastly, and again, most importantly, Erica is an amazing singer and musician. She can sing everything from upbeat classics to the slow song you select for your first dance. Many of our guests raved about Erica and the class and charm she brought to our day. Her voice, guitar skills, and presence is of high quality, and she was a huge value add to our wedding day. I can't recommend Erica enough. If you hire her, you won't be disappointed — I promise!

We're a full service Event DJ Company specializing in weddings, parties & events. We are the only Tampa Bay area based DJ company that has a nationwide corporate production background, and it shows with our work and equipment, and most of all - attention to detail.

This attention to detail is why we're a preferred vendor at most of the local wedding venues.

We had Mike from AHE Productions as our wedding DJ, and I honestly couldn’t have chosen anyone better! His setup was one of the best I’ve ever seen—modern, sleek, and the killer lights matched our black-and-white theme perfectly. From the moment we had our planning call a few weeks before the wedding, I knew everything would run smoothly. Mike made the entire process so easy, and on the day of, everything was flawless. All the music followed our requests to a T, and our guests are still raving about the party! Mike knew exactly when to cut songs short and when to keep the energy high, plus he was fantastic at emceeing when needed. We had two grand entrances, and both were absolutely adorable and perfect. Our customized music for our choreographed first dance and serenade moment sounded incredible on the speakers. The ceremony and dinner music were also spot-on, and the entire evening flowed perfectly. Mike was worth every single dollar, and I’d recommend AHE Productions to anyone looking for a professional, fun, and reliable DJ! 10/10!

I was blown away by the talent of the musicians, they really take their craft seriously. I requested a Roaring Twenties theme from Louis Pettinelli and they went above and beyond to make it happen. The singer Karlea was phenomenal and did an amazing job of keeping our guests engaged and entertained. The musicians were all courteous, professional, and exceptionally talented. They dressed appropriately for our wedding theme and many of the guests at the Hawthorne Hotel wanted to take pictures with Karlea in her Twenties attire. In addition to being a wonderful experience, they were also a great value for the price. These are top quality musicians and we paid a reasonable price for the band. I highly recommend this group for your wedding.

Our Dj Rocks 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,575
  • Serves Gainesville, FL

We have rocked over 1,500 weddings and events! The biggest tip we have for choosing your DJ and MC is to make sure they match your personality and style. Do they get your vibe? Do they understand your event goals? When it comes to weddings, parties, or corporate events, we love making a personal connection with each of our clients. It’s what helps us create those unplanned moments.

Hiring OurDJRocks honestly was the best decision we could have made when it came to our wedding day. The entire staff showed immense patience and attention to detail as we went through the motions over the course of a year and half of planning. The company has a portal platform that helps each couple choose the specific type of music they want played during each portion of the wedding. It helped us tremendously as we chose certain songs for our first dance, etc. They even had a category to fill in songs that you didn’t want played which was helpful for us as well. Choosing the entire package consisting of uplighting, photobooth, dj for ceremony and reception was in our minds a no brainer. We loved every aspect of it all. The photobooth was by far the best idea as our friends and family were able to enjoy taking photos, recording videos with little messages to us and at the end they were able to keep the photo while putting another copy in a book for us. The line for the photobooth was always preoccupied as it was a major hit! Now, we must specifically talk about DJ Staz… WOW. We don’t really know what to say or how to put it into words. Staz was honestly such a vibe. During our introductory and planning calls we hit it off and knew we were in good hands. Staz kept a finger on the pulse of the music the entire night with putting together a DJ Set that will hands down go into the history books as one of our favorite musical acts. Having most of our friends who frequently DJ decent size shows, we knew we had to pick a solid DJ for our wedding and Staz did not disappoint. All of our friends and wedding guests were on the dance floor having a great time. The music consistently brought out the good vibes! Having a mix of EDM/Emo hour at the end was a Chef’s kiss moment for us. Thank you DJ Staz for making a night we will always remember! To the team at OurDJRocks, thank you. You all helped us enjoy the evening of our wedding and we are forever grateful! Highly Recommend to all who want a good time and great vibes! Sincerely, Spence and G

I (mother of the bride) submitted a request on thumbtack, Bradley contacted me right away. I told him I had to share his information with the bride (my daughter), knowing he also plays the saxophone was the selling point. So she agreed and after several messages we hired him for the job. NO REGRET! Everyone had a great time. Especially at the end of the evening. For some reason when he played Mr. Brightside, the family went nuts and the dance floor was full again. Great time.

With over 20 years of experience, our network of professional musicians is dedicated to sharing our love of music with the community. Whether you're planning a wedding, private party, corporate event, recording session, or in need of orchestra or small ensemble music, we've got you covered. Let String Theory Music set the tone for your event with beautiful music that will create an unforgettable ambiance.

We booked String Theory's string quartet for our prelude, wedding ceremony, and cocktail hour, and they were hands-down one of my absolute favorite parts of our wedding day. I am honestly so overwhelmed with (positive) emotion when I think about what they added to our day that I don't even know where to start. As the bride, you're really running around a lot during the lead-up to your actual ceremony. We were kind of running late, so when we got to the venue itself I wasn't really focusing. Suddenly I realized I was hearing a string quartet playing, but they were executing the music I'd selected so flawlessly, I thought I was listening to a professional recording until I remembered that it was LIVE MUSIC played at MY WEDDING. I was absolutely blown away and the emotion of the day just hit me in that moment, and I genuinely believe it was enhanced by the strings! I did a private first look with my dad and they started playing music from Lord of the Rings that I'd selected and honestly it felt like I was in a movie. The emotion was that much more powerful and I still get emotional thinking about that moment. Our guests were absolutely raving about them as well, and in every video I've seen, they are playing often challenging pieces flawlessly. My ONE regret is that I did not get to sit and listen to them more, and like...what a regret to have! Allison was so wonderful, warm, professional, and lovely to work with. String Theory is the best and I am currently finding myself trying to plot events to book them for so I can personally experience more String Theory! Thank you so much to Allison and her team for making our wedding the stuff dreams are made of!

I recently had my wedding at the Florida Aquarium and StringKeeper Entertainment gave me everything I wanted and so much more. Elijah is truely AMAZING!. We spoke to him multiple times beforehand, came up with a wedding list, went over a timeline of the wedding, and made sure he knew exactly what we wanted and didn't want. He arrived early to the wedding to make sure everything was set up in time and working properly. Music and Audio was perfect. He even helped my husband plan a surprise song for me which included a guitar. He had to improvise a couple times because my husband can't follow directions when we entered and went into our first dance, but it all went so smoothly that you would have thought it was planned. Throughout the night he made sure everyone was out there having fun. I appreciate all the time and work he put in to making sure we had a wonderful wedding. HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!

All our guests are still talking about how good they were. Colin was so nice and so professional all throughout the booking process. They are one of the best bands I have ever seen. I would recommend them to anyone booking an event or just needing a good band. We danced all night long and they rocked so hard. We loved having them play at our wedding. Thank you Think Big for making our wedding so perfect and wonderful!

Adm Talent 

5.0

  • Band/dj
  • Starts at $7,500
  • Serves Gainesville, FL

Adm Talent is a wedding music business based in Woodmere, New York. Over the years we have gained invaluable experience performing at hundreds of weddings and have grown a very large network of fantastic talent. We currently offer 3 bands that cover a wide range of hits and are guaranteed to rock your your wedding!

ADM Talent was a recommendation to me from another bride, so that already spoke volumes about their talent. Our band was Treasure, an extremely talented group and their performance for our wedding was better than I could have imagined! They have a giant list of songs that they can play and played the type of music we wanted (including alt rock) with ease. To make things even better, our singers came down to mingle and engage with us and our guests while they performed, which was very fun! Our guests loved them and several people came up to us saying this was the best band they’ve seen and that it felt like a concert. We even have had guests reach out to get ADM’s information on behalf of their friends. Finally, I want to especially thank Alex for being so professional and responsive throughout the planning process. It was great to not have to worry about the band at all as we planned the rest of our wedding.
