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!

Plush

  • Starts at $7,500
  • Serves Portland, ME

We have one goal when it comes to a party, and that's to keep as many people on the dancefloor as possible and to have guests leaving your event exclaiming that it's the most fun they've had in a long time!

We couldn't have asked for a better band for our wedding day. From the very beginning, the team at Plush was exceptional. They started by taking us to breakfast to understand our vision for the day, ensuring every detail was perfect. Andrew, in particular, was incredibly helpful and went above and beyond his typical job description. His attention to detail and organizational skills were outstanding. We faced a challenge in finding a bagpiper for the church, but Andrew took it upon himself to find one at the last minute, seamlessly pulling everything together. At the reception, Plush truly rocked the house. Their energy was infectious, and they ensured everyone had a fantastic time. They collaborated seamlessly with our wedding coordinator, ensuring everything ran smoothly. My wife and I couldn't be happier with our decision to choose Plush. We highly recommend them to anyone in the New England area looking for an incredible band. Plush made our special day unforgettable, and we can't say enough good things about them.

When meeting with David it was immediately apparent he was the right fit for us. We wanted our wedding to be energetic and fun but we didn’t want to do many of the “traditional” wedding events that felt “showy” to us. David provided ideas and listened to what we wanted!

The process of picking out songs, working on the timeline and introductions was very simple and straightforward. Everything we asked for was accommodated, even our special guest singer. Brick Park really brought the fun, so talented, it was more like a concert than a typical wedding. I would highly recommend getting the DJ to spin songs while the band takes a break.

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 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.

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!

The transition was seamless. We met with him a few weeks before to go over our song selections and preferences and he was so flexible. He encouraged us to email him with any additional requests all the way up until the weekend of the wedding. We really felt like he wanted to make our day perfect for us. Everyone at the wedding was raving about how great he was! He was very in tune with the crowd, it seemed like he knew exactly what we wanted to hear!

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.

Jay and Martha were AWESOME! Highly recommend them for DJing. They were so sweet and gifted guests a surprise towards the end of the night which was a special touch. I still get compliments for how good my wedding DJ was. I host events and parties often, I already know who to have on speed dial. They know how to set the mood and direct it throughout an event. I asked some vague requests, like "no typical white people wedding music" (e.g., Don't Stop Believin', etc.) and had drastically different genres for dinner and party portions. THEY UNDERSTOOD THE ASSIGNMENT and beyond. There were actually several songs I wish I knew because I loved them so much but never heard them before, yet they were really catchy and quite the vibe.

Grant was absolutely phenomenal! My husband and I, along with our guests, were blown away by his talent and his exceptional ability to accommodate all of our notes and requests. He worked closely with us to ensure everything was perfect. I highly recommend him for any event or occasion. People are still talking about his performance, and our only regret is that we didn't get to hear him for longer. It was truly magical.

Vibeology IA

  • DJ
  • Serves Portland, ME for additional fees

Music is a lifeblood of life's journey: a universal language that invokes emotion and creates memories; and when thoughtfully and passionately curated into a soundtrack, custom-tailored to specifications, preferences and tastes, the outcome is truly magical, noteworthy, and filled with joy, sentiment, and connection. For over 30 years, DJ Denise LaCarubba | Vibeology IA has aligned with clients to create and present soundtracks for weddings, fashion shows, fundraisers, corporate, international and private events.

What can we say about Denise other than throughout our whole wedding planning process up until the last song of the night, she was the most professional, sweetest, and most amazing DJ we could've ever asked for. She's an amazing collaborator and not only played every song we wanted but made our day so special as music lovers. Our dance floor at the wedding was always packed, and I (the bride) couldn't get off the dance floor. She was super professional when it came to requests and always asked my husband and me before playing them. If you're looking for a DJ, book Denise immediately because she will treat your wedding day with as much sentiment and excitement as you!

  • 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.

Wedding Pro DJ's

  • DJ
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Portland, ME for additional fees

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'

The DJ was the thing that I didn't want to worry about on our special day, and I have to admit I was slightly underwhelmed by Wedding Pro DJS. Robert, the man who owns WPDJs, was initially very communicative and enthusiastic but after a couple months of him being booked his communication completely stopped. Roughly a MONTH before the wedding he told me he was having an impromptu hip replacement. I get that these things happen but I wasn't born yesterday and I think there was an opportunity to let me know prior to a month before. He assured us that his replacement was top tier and that he djd his own wedding, and his replacement was indeed a very nice guy, but on the day of the wedding during the reception there was a LOT of feedback from the mics during peoples speeches which actually led to us completely losing audio recording from the best man. Super bummer. You just don't expect things like that from professionals. I'm sure this was a one off but I probably wouldn't book them again.

He was awesome on the day of our wedding and handled the dance floor perfectly. He was fun and respectful and was just the perfect personality we wanted for our wedding. Craig was a wonderful addition to our big day and we would recommend him to anyone!

Wish I could give more than 5 stars! The Free Downloads played at our wedding on Nantucket in June 2021. Between helping us find a new date when we postponed from 2020 to being communicative about ferry/hotel reservations, I cannot speak highly enough of George. He was so great to work with throughout the entire process. The band was truly amazing and gave us the party of a lifetime. They play to the crowd and are SO talented. After a year and a half with no live music, the band (and guests) were so energetic and happy to be back on a stage and dancefloor. Music and dancing were very important to us - hiring The Free Downloads was one of the best decisions we made during wedding planning!!
