Clockwork 

5.0

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Serves Portland, ME

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!

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. If you are looking for a DJ who cares, gets the dance floor going and is easy to work with, BEG Event Group is it. I will be recommending them to all my clients!

DJ Dan was great! As someone that is a bit of a music fanatic I can be quite picky when it comes to DJs especially at weddings, but Dan did a great job. The mixing was on point where there was no abrupt changing of songs with drastically different tempos or energy which kept everybody dancing. Dan also has a very warm and calming personality too which certainly helps when it's your wedding day so that made us more comfortable too.

DJ BrianD Is Larger Than Life Entertainment, Your Versatile DJ 4 All Occasions!! 18+ Years In The Wedding, Corporate Event, & Private Party Industry & 27+ Years Spinning Wax 2 CD’s 2 MP3’s! BrianD Began His DJ Career Packing Out Bars & Clubs All Over New England.

His Passion 4 DJ’n Transitioned 2 A Different Clientele, Although His Love 4 Entertaining Has Always Remain The Same!

Brian is one of the best wedding DJs in the business. In the past two years I’ve been to eight different weddings. Brian was the DJ for three of the eight, and the party/reception component of the events was never more fun than when Brian was driving the bus. He is an east coast DJ, but he spun tracks at both of my sister-in-laws’ weddings and as we were searching for a DJ for our own wedding we reached out just to see what he would charge for a wedding in Chicago. Turns out the price was right. Brian traveled to Chicago, MC’d our entire wedding, brought all of the equipment necessary and made our day exceptional in every way. I think there are a few things that really set Brian apart from other wedding DJs. Anyone can stand there and run through a playlist, but Brian went off book a few times to match and capture the energy of the guests. As we were in the midst of the planning process he added zero stress, and just calmly walked us through the process of selecting songs. He had suggestions and recommendations along the way. He even brought an extra speaker so that we could plug our digital piano in and the pianist would be able to play loudly enough. Overall, we can’t recommend Brian highly enough. You will not regret choosing him to DJ at your wedding, party, event. Whatever it is, Brian is a huge value add and a pleasure to work with.

Awarded Best of Zola
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!

They were able to personalize the music perfectly to match what we were hoping for, and were very accommodating in playing the specific songs we requested.

He is a true problem-solver, anticipating any issues and working with the vendors and wedding couple to find the best solutions. I worked as a violinist along with Pete for parts of the ceremony and also for some dinner music with an incredible saxophonist.

Want to chat over the music during cocktail hour but dance to some rockin' tunes during the reception? We've got you covered!

We recommend Every Other Sunday without hesitation. Tori and Mike performed as a duo during our ceremony and cocktail hour, learning specific songs for our ceremony. They sang so beautifully during our processional and recessional that there was not a dry eye in the house! Then the band grew to six members for our first dances, and the band learned two songs for those - perfectly executed. For the after dinner portion of our celebration, the band rocked out to variety of contemporary and classic dance tunes. They had the whole place jumping – literally, some of our guests were swinging from the beams…everyone had so much fun! Every Other Sunday is an extremely talented and versatile wedding band. Mike and Tori were easygoing and flexible yet very responsive to our email communications. They arrived super early the day of our wedding to get set up and everything they did was executed flawlessly. On a scale of one to 10, we give them a 10! You will be making a big mistake if you don’t consider Every Other Sunday for your wedding or special event. - Matt and Lou

I wish I could live through my wedding again just so I could dance to Luis' music for another night! For the planning process- Luis is straightforward to communicate with. He was quick to respond, and was incredibly detailed oriented in our planning sessions. He made sure to touch on every aspect of the event beforehand, so the day itself went smoothly. He perfectly understand the vibe we were looking for with our wedding and reception. We had several guests tell us after the reception was one of the most fun they had been to and I fully credit that to using Lionizing Entertainment for our DJ. I highly highly recommend using this DJ for any events you may be planning.

Going into our wedding, our main request of our DJ was to keep people on the dance floor as much as possible throughout the night, and Herbert certainly delivered. Guests of all ages danced the night away and one of our friends even split his pants open from dancing so hard! Herbert did an excellent job of integrating our requests and music tastes with the ebb and flow of the ceremony/dinner/dancing portions of the evening. He was incredibly easy to work with and very communicative throughout the whole process!

  • Serves Portland, ME for additional fees

I have been in the business for over 40 years. My passion for music helps me provide my clients the best experience possible. Pricing that is affordable is important to me. As one client posted in a review , "He cares more about the people, than the money" I give every client my very best in my service. With so many having ceremonies in one location and a reception in an other, I am capable of providing music for both locations. My clients wishes come first, from special moments to a dvd choreographed to your special music projected while you take the dance floor for that special First Dance. These are just some of the service provided.

We have been performing as a band since 2003, when Jordan Shapiro formed the band with some close musician friends in Brooklyn, NY. Since then, the band has performed at hundreds and hundreds of concerts, weddings, festivals, parties, kids birthday parties, and various other kinds of family oriented events. We have an extensive songlist of over 300 songs, drawing from all styles of music, including traditional folk/bluegrass, as well as classic rock, pop, jazz and country. The band has also released 3 full length albums of original music, ranging from progressive bluegrass/newgrass instrumentals to goofy kids songs.

Awarded Best of Zola
All of our guests commented that the music at our wedding was lovely and really tied the whole event together. Our venue did not allow DJ's or amplified sound and Astrograss had no problem playing everything acoustically. They were really great communicating before our event. They learned 5 songs at our request and let us pick plenty others for them to play from their extensive repertoire. They even coordinated with our friend (who is a singer) who wanted to sing something for us which ended up being one of the highlights of the night.

  • Solo performer
  • Serves Portland, ME 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."

The Violin Kat was amazing to work with for our wedding. Kat's communication style was efficient, responsive, understanding, and easygoing - she answered all of my questions and updated the song list whenever I changed my mind. The quality of her work was beautiful, graceful, and perfect. Kat sent demos and joined meetings to fully understand our expectations, and she executed the music flawlessly on the day. We would 100% book her again for any future events. I highly recommend The Violin Kat to any couple looking for a talented, professional, and personable musician to make their special day even more magical.

Club trained with over 1000 Weddings experience, there's no one better to make the formal parts of your day great and then keep your dance floor LIT. My mantra: 'I Make It So Good No One Wants The Day To End'

DJ Robert was referred to us by a wedding planner who said he was the best she'd ever heard and she wasn't kidding. From the planning stage to the nervous days before, Robert was in control & communicative. His handling of his ceremony & emcee duties was flawless, even dinner music was chosen specifically for us. But our guests all remarked that his talent in keeping the dance floor hopping & everyone happy, from 8 to 81, was fantastic. His sound system was like a concert & the lighting was fun. I've referred him to dozens of brides since & am glad to do so.

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!

We hired Zeke for our wedding and couldn't be happier with the service we received. Zeke and Sheila were very responsive as we worked with them before the wedding. For our first dances, we had three longer songs. Zeke did a great job cutting them down to a good length for a wedding.. Several of our guests came up to us during the wedding and said how good the music was. Would definitely hire Zeke again.
