From the moment we first spoke with Brian, we knew we were in great hands. He’s so easy to talk to, professional, and truly on top of everything. Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, and Brian was there every step of the way—not just as our DJ, but as a calming and supportive presence. He gave us great suggestions on song choices to keep the energy upbeat and make sure all age groups felt included. When I was unsure about other vendors like hair and makeup, Brian even stepped in with thoughtful recommendations—he really goes above and beyond. On the big day, everything flowed perfectly. Brian kept the schedule on track, the energy high, and the dance floor full. We wanted the music to reflect both me and my husband’s taste, and Brian made it all come together seamlessly. We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ. He was such a big part of what made our day unforgettable. Thank you, Brian!

I am not sure of the overall quality of the work or value provided by M.R.K. Entertainment, the wedding band and DJ we hired for our wedding. However, they did contribute a few notable things to our special day. The band played a great selection of upbeat music that kept our guests dancing all night long. Additionally, the DJ did a nice job of seamlessly transitioning between songs and maintaining the energy on the dance floor. Overall, M.R.K. Entertainment helped make our wedding reception an enjoyable experience for us and our guests.

Tommy was super friendly and communicative. The vibes were great and he kept the dance floor busy! Our only complaint would be that we provided a sample play list to show what we were looking for with about 85% 2000’s rap/r&b and none of it was played until the last 30 minutes of the night when my husband had to go up and specifically say to play it. But it was still a great time!

We had Daniel as our DJ for our wedding last week, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for anyone better. From the very beginning, he was so easy to work with — relaxed, professional, and incredibly organized. His music platform made it simple for us to curate our ideal wedding playlist, and he took the time to really understand our vision — what we loved, what we didn’t, and the overall vibe we wanted for the day. In the weeks leading up to the wedding, Daniel was so communicative and made sure we felt completely comfortable and confident before the big day. He even provided microphones for our ceremony (even though we had a string quartet for our ceremony and cocktail hour) and had the perfect lighting setup for the dance floor, which added so much energy to the night. And when it came time to dance — the dance floor was packed all night long. He read the crowd perfectly, kept the momentum going, and played music that truly reflected us. We loved that he wasn’t heavy on the mic; he let the music speak for itself and created such an amazing atmosphere. Our guests are still raving about how great the DJ was! Daniel went above and beyond in every way, and we’re so grateful to him for making our night unforgettable. We can’t recommend him highly enough — if you’re looking for a DJ who genuinely cares, listens, and absolutely delivers, Daniel is your guy!

Justin did an INCREDIBLE job at our wedding. His preparation and attention to detail beforehand was immaculate, as he spent over an hour with my partner and me going over the entire wedding day step by step. The sound systems were flawless- everyone could hear our vows during the ceremony and the quality of the sound during the entire day and night was exceptional. He kept our wedding very organized and was the perfect host. Regarding the music selection, he allowed us to make playlists for the cocktail hour and reception which he stuck to using beautiful transitions between songs. Our guests were dancing the entire night! All of our guests said it was the most fun wedding they had ever attended. 10/10 DJ, would definitely recommend him for any event. I included a pic of me doing the worm in my wedding dress. The dance floor was too packed so I had to do it on the side!

STOP, and do not look ANY further!!! INCREDIBLE! My husband and I were big on wanting an incredible band to lead our guests through an unforgettable evening. I spent endless days searching and searching for a band. So many of wedding bands, sound just like that, a wedding band. But Champagne Casanova is not your typical “wedding band.” They are just a straight up talented group of incredible musicians. We hired them to do music through our ceremony, perform at cocktail hour, and perform for our reception. They surpassed any expectations I may have had for our wedding. So many of our guests asked me how I found them, and were so floored by their performance that they wanted their business card. Daniel, Crystal and the crew were absolutely exceptional and I truly believe that if you don’t hire them for your wedding, you are doing yourselves and your guests a disservice. Daniel communicated with me through email and was incredibly friendly, helpful, and responsive through the entire process. I truly cannot say enough nice things about these guys!!!

We worked with Kevin Maldonado for our 11.17 ceremony and reception at the Granite Rose in Hampstead NH. Main Event was the recommended DJ service from our venue, and the matching process to put us with the rigth DJ was so easy. Once we met with Kevin, we had high hopes for our big day, and I am not exaggerating when I say that Kevin blew our hopes out of the water. Kevin helped with audio for our ceremony, before doing music and speeches at our cocktail hour and reception. We requested a high energy dancefloor, with classics from all decades to get everyone on their feet, and wanted to have an insane dance party with our friends and family. He killed it. The energy on the dancefloor was impeccable, and Kevin delivered our vision PERFECTLY. He was so professional, but fun, and everything went very smoothly, no hiccups, no complaints. I would absolutlely, 100% recommend Kevin, and Main Event Entertainment, for anyone looking for a DJ for a wedding or event. You will not be disappointed.

DJ Jimmy Ice was my number one non-negotiable for our wedding, because he's THAT good. Before we even had a venue or date set I was 1000% sure that Jimmy was a priority, because music makes or breaks a wedding!! Not only does Jimmy have the ability to read the room and truly entertain the audience in front of him, he also is genuinely the nicest and most caring person ever. He will take the time to listen to your needs and make sure you have every type of setup you could possibly need. Also his hosting skills are TOP NOTCH! He did an amazing job announcing our wedding party and also gave such a great pump up speech to the group right before we all walked out.

I’m Jay and I'm the owner of La Bella and The Beat. I spend my weekends entertaining, celebrating and partying with some of the best people I’ve ever met. Music has always been a passion of mine--from my boombox days in 1st grade, playing for whoever would listen from my neighborhood driveway, to when my DJing side hustle of 13 years became my full-time career in 2018. I’m a versatile mobile DJ serving New Hampshire, Maine, and Massachusetts (or really anywhere looking for a party). For the past decade, I’ve been rocking events all across New England. No my adventures even take the parties abroad.

Jay was incredible to work with from start to finish! We booked Jay more than a year out from our wedding and he remained communicative with us from contract signed through the wedding day. He went above and beyond, even recommending some of his favorite other vendors to work with and helping us picture how music ties into the bigger timeline and vibe of the day. Jay took the time to understand my husband and I’s individual music tastes and incorporated them beautifully into the wedding. The party was nonstop through the reception and our friends were all raving about the music being the best representation of us as a couple! Can’t recommend Jay as a DJ enough!

Savage Wedding Co. is for couples who don’t want a wedding rooted in tradition or a DJ who plays it safe. If you live somewhere between EDM, metal, or punk and want energy that actually builds through the night, this will make sense to you. You don’t need to edit yourself to fit a predetermined idea of how a wedding is supposed to sound. If you want to headbang, rave, or sing at the top of your lungs, there’s room for that here. The focus is momentum and feel. Not checking boxes.

When we were booking vendors, I wanted wedding professionals. I wanted people who knew the industry inside and out because we were DIY-ing our wedding and without a planner. When you book someone for your wedding, youre not just booking their service- youre booking their industry knowledge and Magnus has a LOT of knowledge and such a big heart. My example of this is within 4 hours of submitting an initial inquiry, we had an email with a scheduled time to call to chat about his services and our wedding plans to see if they matched. What really got our hearts though was before we agreed to work together, he helped me fine tune the schedule I had in my head for the wedding day. He helped us with our timeline not because he was trying to “sell” us on him, and he didnt say “if we work together I’ll help you with the timeline” which would have been perfect acceptable. He helped me because he cares about weddings and wanted to make sure regardless of who we went with for a DJ that we had a good foundation. After that call, I told Collin I wanted Magnus on our wedding team and we didnt need to even consider anyone else and let me tell you - that was one of the best decisions we made. Throughout the process he gave great ideas based on his experience not only for the party (DO THE 10-15 MINUTE DANCE PARTY!!!) but on other aspects of our wedding as well. You’re not just working with an “oh you got a *DJ* DJ!!”as my friend so excitedly said after the music started, you’re working with a professional big hearted person with years of experience who is here to help you have the best time. Our day was truly the best and Magnus was a huge part of that. Once the music started, our dance floor was packed and stayed packed to the bitter end! I will absolutely recommend him to everyone and we are still hearing about how great the music and vibes were. Pics for vibes *insert stars emoji since zola wont allow emojis*

Hi! I’m DJ Sean Rossetti, Owner of Coastal Event Entertainment. I’m a full time DJ who specializes in weddings. I’ve been in the business for over a decade and have the experience to get the dance floor moving. With hundreds of successful weddings done, I can’t wait to make your dream a reality.

If having a packed dancefloor with sleek and modern booth and lighting is important to you for your wedding or event, I highly recommend going with Coastal Event Entertainment! Music is important to us and so we spoke with quite a few DJs for our summer 2025 Maine wedding, and from the very beginning it was clear that Sean is a top tier mobile event DJ. He is fun to work with and understood what we wanted. The online planning platform is easy to use to organize requests, and during the wedding every song cue point was executed flawlessly. He also had the best and most fun mixing transitions I’ve heard at a wedding reception, can definitely bring that energetic club vibe that’s what you’re going for. His booth setup is also super modern, clean and classy, and the uplighting option really elevated our event! We got so many compliments on the music and I can’t recommend his DJ services enough!

DJ Shyne is the difference between a good wedding and a once-in-a-lifetime, next-level, unforgettable experience. Hiring him was the single best decision we made for our wedding. He is outstanding—a true artist in his craft. It’s so clear that he’s not only dedicated to his profession but also deeply loves what he does. We gave DJ Shyne what we thought was an impossible challenge: blend pop hits, Spanish tunes, emo throwbacks, Disney jams, booty-shaking hip hop, and a long list of theme songs from our favorite TV shows and movies (everything from The White Lotus to Saw). On top of that, we added a handful of random, deeply personal songs you’d never expect at a wedding. What happened? Not only did he execute this perfectly, but he became the catalyst for a wedding that felt curated exactly to US—spinning a history of us both as individuals and our journey together woven into a seamless soundtrack. His mixing was unique, unexpected, and so much fun. As the bride, there was no place I wanted to be except on that dance floor. Our guests went wild. Compliments poured in all night and days after. We got so many texts like, “BROOO your DJ?! ” that we started to lose count. But it wasn’t just about the music. From the very first Zoom, DJ Shyne radiated charisma and professionalism. He carried that positive energy into every planning meeting and right through the reception—he even gave our speakers personal pep talks before their toasts! And when it came to group dances, he did something I’ve never seen: he stepped onto the dance floor, mic in hand, and taught the moves live. Towards the end of the Cha Cha Slide, he started teaching the crowd the moves to the Cupid Shuffle so by the time it started they were already doing it!!! No confusion, no awkward guessing, just pure joy and inclusion. He quickly became the vendor we looked forward to meeting with most. We ended each Zoom call feeling assured, uplifted, and excited about the possibilities. Out of everyone we worked with, he was the best. It does not get better than DJ Shyne. He isn’t just the DJ your wedding needs, he’s the DJ your wedding deserves.

Ripcord 
Rating: 5.0 (5 reviews)
Saco, MA
  • Band or Ensemble
  • Serves Maine

Ripcord is comprised of Boston-based musicians who have played together in various cover, wedding and original bands over the past decade. This experience enables the group to consistently deliver a perfect blend of hits from all genres; jazz standards, funk, R&B, soul, top 40, country, classic & modern rock… even that new indie tune you just heard on the radio. Ripcord's diversity is impressive; however, it'll likely be the remarkable accuracy, energy, and feel with which they perform that will blow you away.

Ripcord is the best wedding band you could be lucky enough to find at a wedding! They bring such incredible energy combined with a high-end musicianship that creates a memorable experience that will have your guests complimenting you for months. We’ve now been to four weddings soundtracked by Ripcord, but our favorite was our own. We discovered them in 2017 at one of our best friends’ wedding, and they were such a fun band that they’ve been the first call as everyone in our friend group gets married. We made sure to book them as soon as we secured our venue (about a year before our August wedding), because even though there are three bands within Ripcord, they get reserved quickly. We knew we wanted a horn section, so we hired the 8-piece (male singer, female singer, guitar, bass, keyboard, drums, trumpet, trombone). We had a couple calls with our day-of wedding coordinator and Ananda, Ripcord’s incredibly friendly event coordinator, about 4 weeks and 2 weeks before the big day to go over the timeline and details surrounding our first dance and parent dances, and our entrance. One of the key reasons we chose Ripcord was the extensive song list published on their website, which is not only long but spans practically every genre. This included bands I love but some of which I’d never subject my wedding guests to! (311, Gin Blossoms, and deep cuts from Dave Matthews Band for some reason?) Ananda assured us that they could play pretty much every song we asked for, even ones not on their list. As the bride and groom, we of course missed a few songs but they seemed to hit 80-90% of our request list. In addition to our first dances, which required them to learn a couple new songs (“Lover” remix by Taylor Swift and Shawn Mendes, and an obscure Israeli tune), Ripcord were happy to let me create one of the highlights of a lifetime by letting me play drums with the band for “Boys of Summer” by The Ataris. Ripcord also provided a keyboardist for our ceremony on the beach, learning two more songs for our processionals and recessional (“You” by Dan & Shay, “Enchanted” by Taylor Swift), which helped create such a beautiful atmosphere. We appreciated the very reasonable payment timeline (50% when you book, 50% on event day). One minor issue was that we could not hear the dinner set in the dining area despite our paying to add an extra PA system to do so, but this would probably not be an issue for most couples hiring Ripcord. Because we had a day-of wedding coordinator, we didn’t handle any logistics ourselves on our wedding day, but we heard of no other logistical issues.

Jake began DJing in high school, providing music for birthday and graduation parties. In 2019, a friend asked him to DJ their wedding, and he instantly fell in love with the experience. That moment inspired him to launch DJake Entertainment, focusing on creating unforgettable celebrations for couples and families. Jake especially enjoys Christian and family-friendly weddings, where music sets the tone for joy, connection, and lasting memories. For him, DJing is more than playing songs—it’s about reflecting each couple’s story and making their day truly special.

Awarded Best of Zola
Jake is a great guy. He is very relational and got to know us and what we really desired on our wedding day. Even helped with creative suggestions around transitions and flow to best fit our needs. He was a spot on emcee and even worked so well under pressure when the day wasn't flowing on time and made all the guests feel comfortable. Music was amazing he respected our choices and expanded on them so well. reads the dance floor well. Solid guy would recommend for an easy to work with DJ that will keep you at ease, and make the guests have a blast dancing during your wedding

We had a wonderful experience working with Mike from Audio Events! Mike was kind, easy-going, and flexible.

Even before our wedding day, Mike helped keep us organized with emailed checklists, planning, meetings, and expert advice. Our guests, after our reception, complimented us highly on the music and MC work, and the amazing time they had. We are so happy with Mike and the DJ service he provided!!!

Adam’s Live Music & Dj Services specializes in providing the perfect combination of Live Acoustic and DJ music for your wedding day and is based out of Maine. Adam loves to keep a busy schedule so that his skills are always sharp. He does this by maintaining his status as a DJ and also as a Working Acoustic Musician, and has provided Live Ceremony/Cocktail /Dinner Music.

We had a small wedding (26 people including 5 children)- Adam totally got the vibe we were going for and made it feel like the chillest, extended cocktail hour. He read everybody so well and handled all of the (drunk uncle so-and-so) family members with the utmost grace and fun. One of our smallest wedding guests had a complete melt down because we wouldn't stop Adam's singing so he could go to the bathroom. If someone is willing to pee their pants to not miss a song you're doing it right. On top of his A vibes, Adam is an extremely talented musician!
