  • Serves Johnston, RI for additional fees

Sam Chase is a professional singer/songwriter/guitarist based on the South Shore of Massachusetts. 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.

I can't say enough great things about Sam. He is 100% professional but is so easy going and amenable to changes (which we were making up until the very last minute). He learned songs for us (including French songs - although we only asked him to play the guitar and not sing in a different language!). He was quick to respond, arrived early and even ran through some songs last minute with one of our friends who was singing. And, to top that off we had a quick change of location for the ceremony (was supposed to rain but ended up being sunny) and he didn't even bat an eye when asked to move his equipment to the exterior garden. Sam also did our cocktail hour, his choice of music was spot on and set the perfect ambiance. He has an obvious passion for his music which comes across as soon as he starts playing - it really made our ceremony that much more personal. We cannot thank Sam enough for his hard work and for his beautiful music! I would recommend him to anyone and everyone!

Awarded Best of Zola
Words can’t express how much we loved working with Ana & Jimmy and the entire Amp DJ Band Hybrid. My husband really wanted a band while I really wanted a DJ, Amp DJ band was the perfect mix. We found Ana & Jimmy immediately and were able to schedule a meeting with them the next day. We knew right away that they were right for us. They were extremely attentive and outgoing from the start. They answered all out of questions and addressed concerns we had. We booked them immediately because we didn’t want to miss out on the opportunity to work with them. We met with them several times through our 6 month planning process. They responded immediately to any questions that popped up along the way and even allowed us to make a last minute change the night before. They well exceeded our musical playlist, taking the songs we requested and tailoring the rest of the music to fit the vibe. There was a perfect mix of live songs and an awesome dj set. The amount of compliments my husband & I received about the band far exceeded anything we expected. All of our guests LOVED them (of course as did we). So many people reached out that night or the next day to say how impressed they were with Ana, Jimmy & the whole band. We also had an acoustic guitar player at our cocktail hour which was amazing. If you’re debating getting a band for your wedding because your heart is set on a DJ, seriously look no further than Amp DJ Band hybrid. You will not be disappointed. I want to have another event just to work with them again!

Vibeology IA 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Serves Johnston, RI for additional fees

Music is a lifeblood of life's journey: a universal language that invokes emotion and creates memories; and when thoughtfully and passionately curated into a soundtrack, custom-tailored to specifications, preferences and tastes, the outcome is truly magical, noteworthy, and filled with joy, sentiment, and connection. For over 30 years, DJ Denise LaCarubba | Vibeology IA has aligned with clients to create and present soundtracks for weddings, fashion shows, fundraisers, corporate, international and private events.

We met Denise when she DJ'd a friend's wedding and it was the most fun reception I'd ever attended. I knew she HAD to be my DJ if ever I got married! From day 1 of meeting with her for our wedding, it was clear that her goal was to give us the best party of our lives, whatever that looked like to us. She had great advice throughout the entire process and took time to get to know us and what style/vibe we wanted for our reception. Communication is key, and she had the logistics of the reception planned down to the minute. The music portal is very user friendly and it was really fun to think through our music. If you need song advice, she's your gal. She will strictly adhere to your do NOT play list. She gets the guests engaged and is truly a party starter (if that's what you want). Our guests told us they were sore the next morning because they literally never left the dance floor. Many have asked us to do an annual anniversary party and have Denise DJ it. She will become your family DJ for life and we know of at least 2 guests who plan to have her DJ their wedding. She is a lovely human and a STELLAR DJ. You will not regret asking her to DJ your special day! <3

Garrett & Tamara 

4.7

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $1,000
  • Serves Johnston, RI for additional fees

Garrett & Tamara are a New York-based musical duo and songwriting team. The couple's journey began in 2015 after matching on the popular dating app, Tinder. The two quickly bonded over their love of music and began writing and performing together. On stage, they weave together a uniquely vibrant fusion of classic r&b/soul and contemporary singer/songwriter, rich with two part vocal harmonies and lush guitar arrangements.

Garrett and Tamara were beyond anything we could have hoped for. They were so easy to work with leading up to the wedding (even when we changed songs quite a few times). They played our ceremony and cocktail hour and made both feel so special. They are not only insanely talented but just the nicest people as well. Highly highly recommend Garrett and Tamara for your wedding!!

I’m a planner who worked with Madison and her team of exceptional musicians on a wedding at the iconic Rainbow Room. They were easy to communicate with and made themselves available to work through and trouble shoot any songs or moments that were critical to our timeline. Better yet, the music was phenomenal and they went above and beyond that day to keep the energy high and the guests happy. I’m eager to work with them again and cannot recommend them more!

The Violin Kat

  • Solo performer
  • Serves Johnston, RI for additional fees

"I am an eclectic wedding violinist based in the Worcester-Boston area of Massachusetts. I perform for wedding ceremonies, cocktail hours, dinner receptions, first dances, and dance receptions. I enjoy learning my clients' favorite songs so that their wedding day feels extra special. I am able to play a variety of different music genres (top 100 hits, music from Bridgerton, hip hop, R&B, EDM, rock, big band, & classical) and can perform on my electric violin with your DJ for your reception. I am able to provide my own Bose sound system which can be battery-operated for outdoor areas."

Kathryn is my GO TO live musician for all of my couples. She's a super talented violinist and an absolute dream to work with. So accomodating, professional, organized, and kind. It's so much fun to see the guests enjoy her music - especially when she plays more modern music that people aren't typically used to hearing on the violin. She's the perfect fit for a sweet and romantic ceremony followed by a lively and upbeat cocktail hour. She's even played full receptions at some of my events! I highly recommend working with Kathryn!

Butch Gray, Disc Jockey/Entertainer, LLC 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $2,200
  • Serves Johnston, RI for additional fees

There is an art to entertaining. To create a memorable wedding celebration, you need quality entertainment. Most events I do start with some common elements: guests, music and the client’s desire for the event to be successful. It’s the inspiration in the execution and preparation before the event that distinguishes me from the ordinary. While others may do events by number, I make each event an original, a unique reflection of my client…you! I take inspiration from your dreams and desires. I do not ask you to follow someone else’s format because I will thrive in yours.

Butch was simply phenomenal! He was able to keep our small wedding so high energy it felt like we had a room full of a hundred people! He was so flexible with us as we had so many changes throughout the planning process. He was willing to work with us regardless of what our contract stated, he just wanted us to have the best wedding we could. He was so helpful in planning meetings and his tool was easy and fun for us to use! We asked him last minute to do all the ceremony music and he was even willing to jump in the day of to marry us when we thought we were without an officiant. All of our guests raved about him! We can't say enough about Butch except to HIRE HIM! :)

Elegant music for your wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, or private party. Classy Strings will to add a touch of elegance to your wedding! We offer options of solo violin, violin and piano, two violins, string trio, or trumpet and strings. Our experience professionalism will add a touch of class to your wedding! We have extensive experience in both religious and civic ceremonies, and play a variety of styles of music, including classical, pop, and standards. We offer 20 years of experience performing at weddings and cocktail hours and are happy to accommodate your taste in music.

We had an outdoor wedding on the water. We knew the setting was perfect but maybe not ideal for our vendors. Amy eased my mind quickly with my concerns about sound and setup. She knew the area well from previous events so was confident that everything was going to go smoothly. She helped pick out appropriate songs for the setting. During the beginning of the ceremony, they both quickly changed gears when the timing of the parents walking in was not queued (by accident). It was a beautiful touch to have violins playing during the ceremony and reception. Multiple family members commented on how lovely they sounded. I would absolutely recommend Classy Strings and would hire them back for my next event.

Zeke and Sheila have worked extremely hard to maintain their high quality and attention to customer service. In order to maintain their excellent rapport with customers, the Aleman family has hand picked the best talent in each region to work for their exclusive boutique company. Keeping a small staff who can identify with their clients and provide the next level in concierge style service, has been met with a great response from both clients and the event industry and has garnished them many industry and client awards!

DJ Zeke was incredible! His personality and ability to read the room kept our dance floor full all night long. My wife and I spent most of the time on the dance floor as well...and we don't dance! We had a nice phone meeting about 2 weeks prior to the wedding to go over the schedule of events for the night and songs that we wanted for specific things. We had given him a list of 10-15 songs that we wanted and from that he created a playlist based on our tastes as well as what different groups of guests would enjoy. He happily accommodated our many requests - we did our father daughter dance together, we wanted to open the dance floor with the Chuppah, we were having both sets of parents make speeches along with the maid of honor and best man at separate times, and we had two groups that wanted to perform songs they had written for us! He even hooked them up with the instrumental version of a song for the background. Sheila was awesome when we booked and then when we rescheduled (twice) and setting up the meeting with Zeke before the wedding!
