There's nothing I love more than a great song, a dance floor, and a reason to celebrate. I've been involved with music for pretty much my entire life and the passion that I have for creating moments and memories through music is unmatched. I work personally with each of my couples to make their weddings amazing, and I'm fortunate that I get to do this each and every weekend.

Brendan was a dream addition to our wedding vendor team. We felt confident from the start knowing his extensive experience at our venue and as a radio DJ. Brendan was quick to respond to all of our questions and communications, which certainly put us at ease during the planning process. He proved to be a talented and knowledgeable musician and DJ as his ideas for the music and flow of the day were spot on. The highlight of our day was when Brendan played the piano during our cocktail hour. Our guests loved it! Brendan's mobile app was also very useful as we made selections for the day-of music, and he seemed to know our venue, Glen Manor House, better than anyone else on our vendor team. The day flowed perfectly thanks to Brendan's expert timing and seamless transitions. His energy perfectly fit what we were looking for in a DJ and we were so glad to have him on our team! We highly recommend B-Sharp Entertainment for any couple looking for a top-tier DJ who will make their wedding day special, especially those getting married at Glen Manor!

My philosophy for music is, "You bring the dancers and I'll bring the music".  I'll take your requests and my years of experience and turn your wedding into something your guests will never forget.  In order to play the right song at the right time, it's all about observation and knowing your crowd.  As I am selecting and mixing songs, I am attentive to everyone's reaction. Years of performing gives me an understanding of action and reaction... an easier way to put it is, I know how to rock the socks off your wedding!

Shane with Mercier Music Weddings and Events was the consummate professional for our wedding entertainment. His communication throughout the planning process was personal, prompt and respectful, making us feel like valued clients. The sound quality and song selection the day-of was excellent. Shane interacted with our guests and could read the room, knowing just when to transition the music from our first dance into the next activity. He kept the style of music going that appealed to all our guests, from young to old. Shane's ability to read the room and keep all age groups engaged really made for an interactive and fun reception. We were extremely pleased with Shane's services for our special day and highly recommend Mercier Music Weddings and Events.

The online planning forms made it easy to plan out our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. We had several specific requests that DJ Rick was able to accommodate. We wanted classic rock for the majority of our cocktail hour and created a list of artists for Rick to work from which he played the perfect set. The music was a true reflection of us which is exactly what we wanted. We had a great time dancing the night away with our family and friends. The uplighting was beautiful and helped enhance our venue. The photo booth was worth every penny, our guests could not get enough of it! We would highly recommend Arpeggio if music is important to you! The entertainment can make or break your wedding and Arpeggio knocked it out of the park and we still have guests talking about how much fun they had at our wedding!

Joey G is like my cool uncle except he’s got sick DJ skills. He did our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. Not only was he professional and organized, but he also brought an incredible energy to our wedding. For the ceremony and cocktail hour, we provided him with a specific music selection, and even though we never rehearsed together, he nailed it perfectly. During the reception, we gave him a playlist, and he struck the perfect balance between sticking to our choices and reading the crowd to keep everyone dancing. One highlight was when Joey G handed the microphone to people in the crowd, turning our reception into an impromptu karaoke party. It was a blast! He was not only fun and engaging but also very attentive to our needs. He asked how to pronounce each name correctly for the toasts, ensuring everything went smoothly. We requested that he not take song requests, and he respected our wishes completely. The sound quality was stellar, and his equipment setup was flawless. Joey G understood our need for clean music as we had many families with young children attending, yet he still kept the atmosphere lively and fun. The dance floor was packed with all 150 guests! Joey G was also a great help with announcements, coordinating toasts, and working with friends and family to announce the newlyweds and photo groups. His flexibility and attention to detail were impressive. Overall, I highly recommend Joey G to any couple looking for an awesome wedding DJ. He provided a questionnaire that made the whole planning process so easy, and his execution was simply fantastic. Joey G truly made our wedding day unforgettable!

He was professional, flexible, fun, and used his expertise to make decisions. He listed to my million requests and brought amazing energy to our wedding, The Photo Booth was also a huge hit. Everyone looked STUNNING in the black and white photos. They were flexible in making our fonts how we wanted to on the photo strip, and we loved using those as a guest book.

Everything about Pocket Change was a perfect addition to our wedding. Choosing our band was a major priority for us, as we know from experience they can make or break the reception. Pocket Change was everything we wanted, and more. From our first meeting with them, we felt comfortable and heard. They did a fantastic job of listening to our preferences and adapting that to what they were best at to deliver a great performance. They also did a great job of suggesting additions to our "must plays" that really went with the vibe we were looking for. Also, as a side note, the bride is a teacher, and we loved that Pocket Change is a band of music teachers! In addition to being absolutely perfect as a wedding band, they were also extremely affordable! We worked with some amazing vendors all around, but Pocket Change is the first review we're writing, because we really wanted to thank them for what they did to make our day special. We had a miscommunication with our venue about who was in charge of ceremony audio, and Pocket Change was able to jump in last minute to provide audio for the ceremony. They also let one of the bride's best friends join them on stage to sing Dancing Queen, which was so special for the bride and groom. There was a small issue with the wireless microphone during speeches, and their technician was able to jump in and solve it immediately! They were great at going with the flow and making situations that could have been stressful not at all. In almost every conversation we have had with guests since our wedding, someone has brought up what a great band they were. Hire Pocket Change - you will not be disappointed!!!

My style is about my bride and groom having a good time and creating an atmosphere for their guests to have fun by playing and mixing great music. As a an experienced DJ I know how to read the crowd and play the right music at the right time to keep the dance floor moving. I will keep the DJ “chatter” to a minimum to be sure not to steal the spotlight. I take a completely modern approach, using my extensive knowledge of music formats and appropriate Emcee skills to move a dance floor.

Sidney was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding! From our first conversation, he was easy to talk to, honest about what he could provide, and very thorough in making sure he understood the vibe we were going for. The day-of, Sidney absolutely crushed it - his song selection was spot on for keeping guests of all ages entertained, and he did an excellent job reading the crowd to keep the dance floor moving. His equipment elevated the whole reception. For the quality of work and professionalism Sidney brings, his services are an incredible value. We had so many guests compliment the music and entertainment. Sidney was integral to making sure our wedding celebration was fun for all, and we'd enthusiastically recommend him to any engaged couple looking for a talented DJ who will listen to what you want!

Clockwork

Congratulations! You're probably recently engaged, or you know someone who is, and you're looking for a killer band for your once-in-a-lifetime celebration. Clockwork will make your wedding truly spectacular. Not only will all of your friends and family be on the dance floor the entire night, but you will be showered with compliments about how awesome the band is and how much fun they’re having. And this will continue for weeks and months after your wedding!

My daughter recently got married in Newport, Rhode Island, on September 14th, 2024. She choose to have her reception in a tent on the lawn of the Eisenhower House. The venue was stunning and the woman at EH recommended Clockwork as we were looking for a local band with horns to play at the reception. We were not able to hear them in person, but all the video's posted online more than helped our decision making process and we quickly booked the band 20 months in advance, It was our second decision in the wedding process after the venue -with many, many more to come, but without a doubt - IT WAS THE BEST DECISION!!!! Booking was easy - we sent a check to reserve the date. the catalog of music they are capable of playing is extensive. But we had a tremendous comfort level with Clockwork New England as the contract states YOU GET THE EXACT MUSICIANS you see on all the website videos. There are no switches, or long lists of band members they slot in on any given day. Everyone we saw and loved are the people that showed up for our event. From start to finish - the band rocked the night away - the dance floor was never empty. They sang the bride and grooms song 'You are the Best Thing" and it was spectacular. And every song after that just got us up off our feet. The horns added so much - we keep hearing from friends asking us who they were, because they LOVED the music. The interactions with the crowd also made the night so memorable - and some of the best videos of the night. The band worked well together - and we just cannot say enough about how much they added to the party. Patrick joined a zoom call we had w our planner a week or so earlier than the event - and went over every detail - completely putting our minds at ease. 5 stars are NOT ENOUGH!! They truly made our event the best it could have possibly been! I want to do it again!

DJ Tay worked with us in the months leading up to the wedding to coordinate instrumental piano covers for our ceremony which turned out beautifully. We also gave him a spreadsheet with songs we definitely wanted to play, others that were maybes and a few not to. He worked off this list but there were still a lot of songs I’d hoped to play that we didn’t hear, and also a handful I hadn’t asked for - but it is what it is. He also brought some great colorful lighting and uplights for the space which really added to the vibe. Overall Taylor did a good job DJ-ing our wedding reception! (Some fun hora photos to share)

Not only did they keep the dance floor packed during the reception, but they also handle unique aspects of this particular wedding so professionally (ie: a violinist and an aerial hoop artist). Their playlist incorporated songs for all guests to enjoy, and the audio throughout the day, including the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and reception, was crystal clear.

I've never worked with a DJ as good as Drew and his crew. Drew had sent me an email a few weeks before the couples wedding with the reception timeline (a first) and kept me up-to-date with any last minute changes the day of. It is clear by working with Drew how much he loves his job and how much he cares about the couples he works with. He got the crowd going, the dance floor was always packed and he invited the couple up to DJ booth which was so fun for them and also amazing for pictures.

We can’t say enough wonderful things about this duo! From the acoustic music during our ceremony to the live set at cocktail hour and DJing our reception, they made every moment unforgettable! Having our wedding at a private family owned venue meant we had a lot of unique needs, and they handled everything with care and professionalism. Everything we asked for was met with enthusiasm and 0 resistance, they made every idea we had work! Their online form was incredibly user-friendly, guiding us through every detail and making the planning process a breeze- a planners DREAM! One of the highlights of the night was our surprise grand entrance on a tractor, which took so much coordination and precise timing—and they nailed it perfectly! Every transition felt seamless, and there was never a quiet moment, as they ensured the music flowed continuously from start to finish. They were so friendly, attentive, and genuinely invested in making our day special. We would recommend them 100% to anyone looking for a talented, thoughtful, FUN, and all-around amazing band/DJ. Thank you for helping make our wedding everything we dreamed of! You two are truly so talented and we can't thank you enough.

Joe and his team were incredible! All of our guests are STILL talking about how great Joe was - he picked perfect songs that were a hit with our crowd across generations and included some of our all time favorites as well. We gave him a few do not plays and just a couple must plays, but he handled the rest perfectly!! Fine Tune Entertainment has an easy to use planning website, where we were able to edit our timeline and song choices throughout the process - this helped keep everything super organized. Joe was excellent at keeping the schedule moving with speeches, photos and dancing. We also used Fine Tune Entertainment's sister company for the photo booth which was incredibly high quality and a major HIT with our guests. They had the option to get digital copies or take home a printed one! We added 10 up lights to our space as well and Joe perfectly managed color changes to enhance the party vibe. We highly recommend Joe & Fine Tune Entertainment to couples in the Boston/MA area because of the incredible music played, the calm demeanor and excellent communication throughout the process! Definitely add the photo booth if you can, it was so worth it :)

We could rave about DJ Thrilla all day long, but in the words of our wedding guests: “Best dance floor we’ve seen in a long time!” It’s been weeks since our wedding and our guests can’t stop talking about how great the music was. Arthur did a great job with the ceremony and cocktail hour, and managed a tricky parent dance section (multiple sets of parents & timing!) We requested a Taylor Swift mashup and he exceeded expectations and made it the highlight of our night. The dance floor was always packed, and Arthur did a great job of taking into account our requests while playing music everyone would enjoy. We opted to use uplighting as well, which looked beautiful during dinner (we chose a warm lighting) and was so fun for the dance floor with flashing lights. By the end of the night, he even had guests asking him to travel to Texas to DJ their wedding! Booking DJ Thrilla was one of the best vendor decisions we made for our wedding and we could not recommend him more!

Awarded Best of Zola
When we first looked into hiring a DJ, we thought it was as simple as picking someone to play music and get the dance floor going. But we were impressed with how much more there was to it, and Collins Entertainment had it all covered from start to finish! There were so many details that we had not considered, like doing a "farewell dance" towards the end of the night. They also offered perspectives that we had not considered, like the benefits of doing wedding party introductions since we had not done programs. Because there is a team of DJs and they take incredible notes, it also means that there is a seamless transition in case of any emergencies. Our original DJ had a family medical emergency, but his colleague was able to step in without missing a beat (pun intended). We highly recommend!

DJ Manolo was the best DJ we could have ever asked for throughout the entire wedding planning process and during the wedding. We cannot recommend him enough. He was fun, friendly, lively, and kept the dance floor PACKED all night. He listened to our requests and helped us through the entire process. A top priority for our wedding was a fun and lively DJ and a packed dance floor with good music and DJ Manolo exceeded our expectations! He matched our energy and brought the whole room to life. We have had so many people compliment him and his work and ask for his contact info since our wedding. We look forward to seeing him at future friends and families weddings!

His performance truly made the event unforgettable. As a wedding coordinator, having the vendors be so supportive and enjoyable to work with really does make it so special for not only the bride and groom, but for us too! From the moment we began working together, I was impressed by his professionalism and enthusiasm. He went above and beyond to understand the couple’s preferences and create a playlist that perfectly matched the vibe they were aiming for. His ability to read the crowd and keep the energy high was simply amazing. Not only did he deliver an outstanding musical experience, but he also made the entire process smooth and efficient.
