Boogie Time Entertainment

  • DJ
  • Starts at $2,200
  • Serves Manitowoc, WI

We've been in business for nearly 50 years. The original owner recently retired and Matt, a lead BTE DJ for nearly a decade, made the decision to continue the legacy. We have rocked weddings across multiple states, for all types of crowds, and have done it in every imaginable environment.

From the moment we booked Boogie Time Entertainment, their communication was spectacular. The team was incredibly responsive and worked closely with us to understand our music preferences and wedding vibe. On the big day, their performance was nothing short of amazing - the dance floor was packed all night as they played a great mix of upbeat hits and our personalized song requests. The sound quality was fantastic, and our guests raved about the energy and variety of the music. Boogie Time Entertainment truly helped make our wedding an unforgettable celebration. We highly recommend them to any couple looking for a DJ package. Matt is amazing!

Awarded Best of Zola
We had such a great experience working with Joe at Exceptional Entertainment. He was very organized and laid things out for us so clearly when we first met, and he responded very quickly. We hired him pretty shortly after that. From then on, he was there to answer questions and provide resources throughout our wedding planning process. When the wedding got closer, we met a few times to go over everything for the wedding so I didn't have anything to worry about. The online portal he uses made things simple and organized. Our guests and ourselves were on the dance floor the entire night. People had so much fun and every time I looked at Joe, he was engaged in his work with a smile on his face the whole time, having a great time. I highly recommend and can't say enough great things!

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.

Felix & Fingers was the best addition to my wedding! We had a BLAST. It’s the best mix between a live band and sing along karaoke (but you don’t want your uncle to get the mic, you know?). They did beautiful ceremony music, incredible sax jazz during cocktail hour to keep it classy. Then, they kept everyone engaged and entertained for the reception, from my aunt in a walker to my college friends twerking. We danced the night away but lost our voices from screaming along with the songs too. 10/10 you can’t go wrong with dueling pianos - DJs and wedding bands are out, Felix & Fingers is IN!

DRS MUSIC, INC 

5.0

  • Band/dj
  • Starts at $5,000
  • Serves Manitowoc, WI

David Rothstein Music was started in 1999. David believes each couple/client deserves to get exactly what they need for their specific event. DRM has a wide variety of ensembles and song choices to make every event meet and exceed your expectations!

We always ranked the music as the number one priority for our wedding, and we’re so glad we entrusted David Rothstein Band to bring our party to life. Planning a wedding during Covid had many challenges, including not being able to see the band live, but thankfully, David has so many live videos available where we can see the entertainment his band delivers day in and day out. Those videos, along with David’s passion for his work, made us confident to chose his team to make our day special. For our wedding, we had a classical duo during the ceremony, a pianist during cocktail hour, a jazz trio during dinner, and an incomparable 10 piece orchestra to dance the night away. From the first note to the final encore, we were BLOWN AWAY with the talent and energy that the band brought. We had a few special requests for the night - from a unique arrangement for our ceremony processional to a mashup of New York songs during the reception - and David’s team was beyond accommodating. We had dancing for 3 hours straight and not once did anyone leave the floor - the band was able to feel the energy in the room and chose the right song for the moment. I stumbled across the ingoing setlist after the party and was actually surprised to see that the band didn’t even stick to the songs they had picked - a sign that they adjusted based on what the crowd was loving. It’s been nearly a month since the big day and people keep telling us how amazing the music was, and we can’t stop watching the many videos David took from the night, reliving the magic that his band created. If you’re thinking about which band to have for your wedding, look no further than the David Rothstein Band - you won’t be disappointed!!

DJ Mitch Entertainment

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,695
  • Serves Manitowoc, WI for additional fees

Hi, my name is Mitch! I grew up surrounded by music. I started playing saxophone in 5th grade and pretty much from then on music has encompassed my life. After graduating from college with a music degree and working in customer service for over 3 years, the thought of combining my passion for music and love of serving people always sounded too good to be true! My number one goal is to help you craft an unforgettable wedding, one note at a time! How do I do that? by getting to know you and catering to your likes and dislikes! Also with my secret weapon! (my saxophone)

We cannot express enough praise and gratitude for Mitch! We had the privilege of working with him for our wedding on 7/6/24. From preplanning meetings to the wedding day, Mitch was extremely on top of everything to ensure our wedding day ran smoothly. He also communicated with our other vendors on the day of the wedding to ensure everyone was on the same page! When we had our live acoustic guitarist back out somewhat suddenly, we reached out to Mitch for references. To our surprise, he offered us an even better idea to have him play sax and a friend play guitar at the ceremony. All of our guests absolutely loved it and it brought a really special feel to the ceremony. On top of that, the energy he brings to MCing got our guests super excited and involved! Part of our package included having Mitch play Sax at the reception… JUST DO IT! It was so fun having him jump on the dance floor and interact with our guests! Mitch made our wedding a day to remember for all, and we cannot recommend him enough. Thank you DJ Mitch!
