Can't say enough about the quality of James's work, his attention to detail, his professionalism, and curating the best dance party experience at our wedding!! From start to finish he was extremely prepared and provided us with all the materials needed to organize the music and run of show. As both DJ and MC, James truly went the extra mile to make our day run seamlessly, and made us feel so special. He was even accommodating to our last minute music requests and was very patient with us. In addition to being extremely professional, prepared, and organized, he is such a down-to-earth and kind, genuine person. He even captured some videos of our first dance and grand entrance that we wouldn't have had otherwise because we didn't have a videographer. This was so thoughtful and truly above and beyond! We personally added on the photo booth option and are glad we did, as it was a hit. His rates were very reasonable as well especially for the package we got. Everyone raved about James and the music. He made our wedding day exactly the party we hoped for - the most fun we've ever had! Highly recommend James & All The Above Events for your next wedding or big event.

Awarded Best of Zola
They say a dream is a wish your heart makes, and Erica was truly a dream to have at my wedding, not only as a musician, but as a warm and kind presence. The very first time I spoke with Erica I just fell in love with her warmth, kindness, professionalism and confidence. We laughed so much on the first call I knew immediately I had to hire her. After the call, my fiancé said that musician you spoke with made you so happy you better just hurry up and hire her. I never even spoke to another musician…I knew none could even come close to Erica. I hired Erica in July for my December Disney wedding. I never felt rushed, overwhelmed or anything stressful. Erica is so kind, her voice is ethereal and she knows how to read a room. She even recommended an amazing officiant to me when I was struggling to find one. Erica was the hit of my wedding, when she started singing to open the ceremony a bird flew up to her, perched next to her and sang with her. Even the bird wanted to be close to her and felt her kindness. This was the most beautiful moment and my guests are still talking about it. I wanted a Disney/Christmas wedding theme and Erica delivered in every aspect. She was also beautifully dressed and looked gorgeous (nobody wants sloppy vendors lol). Erica created the perfect atmosphere by intertwining romantic Disney music as well as Christmas songs. Erica made the wedding a dream come true. The fact that she is well known also helps, as most vendors and venues love working with her. She learned a few new songs for me and worked seamlessly with my other vendors to create the perfect, yes absolutely perfect, day. Thank you Erica! You are a true star!

Hi, we're The Moon Units!

And because we're a real band, we offer prices that are just a fraction of what corporate booking agencies charge. We can't wait to play for you!

Awarded Best of Zola
The Moon Units made our wedding day truly spectacular! Every single guest says that a highlight of our wedding was the Moon Units. We loved how professional and flexible they were. Each member of the band is beyond talented and phenomenal. You must hire the Moon Units and I promise you will have the best event you’ve ever been to or hosted. The Moon Units performance at cocktail hour was incredible and then their performance for two dance sets was SO MUCH FUN! The bass player will even get on the dance floor and play with you which is just such a highlight! They are so versatile and know just about every song. Incredible. They can also help MC the wedding/event and that went flawlessly! It’s really amazing how they can cater to such a variety of ages/demographic with their music/vibe. Again every conversation we have about our wedding includes some glowing statement about the band. When you hire The Moon Units, you don’t have to worry about the details/setup, they are such experts at what they do. Thank you so much to the Moon Units for being a part of our big day. I could go on and on about how incredible and talented each musician is and how collectively they are just the best team and band. Your event will be phenomenal when you hire The Moon Units!

Don’t trust uncle Jerry with the aux cord and Spotify playlist. Your big day deserves better. Your wedding is a celebration of your love, and the beginning of creating a life together with the person you love most. It is critical that you entrust it to a professional who will take the time and care to craft an experience that is impossible to forget. With me, above and beyond is an understatement. Music is my life, and it is such a massive honor to be able to provide the soundtrack to one of the biggest days of your life.

Our detailed and step by step process ensures that at the end of the day we exceed all expectations by creating everlasting memories. Our awards and reputation are unparalleled, however without amazing, energetic clients and their guests who LOVE to dance, we are nothing.

Awarded Best of Zola
As a wedding planner, I've worked with GE Productions on countless weddings for years. He consistently delivers professional, customized service and cares for each of his clients. In his planning process, DJ Jimmy Grizzley is incredibly thorough regarding song selection for the most important moments of the wedding day. During the event, he will never push play on a playlist and step away from his DJ station. He curates music and actively mixes it together on site keeping energy high and your guests on the dance floor. He works well with other vendors following timelines meticulously. As the coordinator hired for Alex M's wedding (see below), I'm confused by the disappointment expressed. Alex's guests danced the entire reception. The cake cutting was both announced, staged, documented, and well-attended. He played their special song during the process as well. These clients were challenging, but DJ Jimmy Grizzley knocked it out of the park as usual!

Richard was helpful and respectful throughout our entire wedding planning process. He worked flawlessly with me, my partner, and our wedding planner to pull off an incredibly fun reception. Richard did an initial call with my partner to discuss the general vibe we were looking for, and we knew immediately he would be a great fit for our wedding. Richard gave us a helpful questionnaire to fill out key songs and general musical interests (and do not play songs). Richard was also happy to jump on calls with us to talk through our questions and hopes for our big day. I especially appreciated that Richard was able to play some German songs for some guests who had flown in from Germany, as that got even some of our older relatives on the dance floor. People were partying all night thanks to Richard! Richard catered to our wide age range of guests, and even gave us a couple of bonus closing songs that were the perfect conclusion to the night. We could not have asked for a better DJ.

Vic DJ'd my November 2022 Palm Springs wedding. He was fantastic and I would recommend him without reservation. He showed up to the location days before to scope it out and on wedding day, he arrived early and quietly set up his gear. He played exactly the music we requested along with some other fun choices. When a friend requested a specific song, something rather old and forgotten, he grabbed it quickly and played it and it made for a great moment. I had a very positive experience with Vic.

From the moment we booked Ryan Shephard for our wedding, he was incredibly responsive, quick to answer any questions, and made the entire process easy. On the day of the wedding, Ryan was exactly what we had hoped for - he seamlessly executed our special requests beforehand and took requests from our guests all night long. My husband and I had a very specific vision in mind for the music, and Ryan brought it to life perfectly. My guests raved about him.

Whether that means beautiful sounds or a beautiful place setting. In my opinion, the two are inextricably linked. Beauty is what I strive to create for each bride and groom.

Danielle and Her team were amazing!! We hired them for our Wedding in August 2023 in Newport RI and they were outstanding!!

I perform on an electric cello that lets me move freely and interact directly with your guests, adding a dynamic and personal touch to the event. With a keen ability to read the room, I adjust the music in real time to create the perfect atmosphere, ensuring an unforgettable experience for you and your guests.

Mr. Michel is definitely a smooth operator. He knows how to work a room well. He knows how to get people to engage, and he knows when to blend into the background. He doesn’t act like a rockstar, even tho he easily could demand that type of attention based on his accomplishments. Simply a pleasure to work with.

It was a fantastic performance and completely unexpected. He did a great job setting up and "hiding" away until it was the right time to come out. Then for our reception, Kevin played "Can't Help Falling in Love - Elvis" while the bride walked down the aisle and nailed it!
