Luis is a wonderful DJ and helped make our wedding day so much fun! He is super personable, outgoing, and genuinely cares about making sure his couples' big day is everything they want it to be. He was super easy to talk to during our zoom and in-person meetings. The client portal is SO helpful and easy to use. You can customize your playlist however you want and he's great at feeling the crowd! We added on a Photo Booth which was so much fun for everyone! We got to keep a copy and also received the digital downloads. Luis also told our love story while we were cutting our cake which was such a nice touch! We got so many compliments on our DJ and would love to work with Luis again in the future!

Spenser made this whole day so easy! I was on the fence about having a DJ for our very casual lunchtime wedding reception but once I started working with Spike events I knew we’d made the right decision. He perfectly captured the feel of what we were going for, from the cocktail hour, to the meal, to the actual dance floor. Everybody was dancing but anybody who wasn’t was still enjoying the music! Everything was perfect! Highly recommend

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.

Five Star all the way through! We found Gerry through Zola. He lives in New Hampshire, but was more than happy to make a weekend out of it himself, as he had never been to Block Island before! I suspect the next bride and groom that reach out to him with a wedding planned on Block Island, he will not hesitate to book that one!!! Can't say enough nice things about Gerry! He came through with the music we wanted, some stuff he added and a video screen that came in handy for a few speeches! Kudos from the bride and groom to Your Way DJ!! Ken Panciera Lesley Lane

Having AMP Band for our wedding was an A Experience. For our wedding, we used the DJ/Band Entertainment for reception, along with the String Duo Violins for the ceremony. During the pre-wedding planning stage, Ana & Jimmy took the time to get to know us on a personal level and answered all of our questions quickly through emails and zooms. What I loved about the planning stage with them was their ability to incorporate our music suggestions, while also providing feedback on music through their expertise. On the wedding day, they absolutely crushed it!! During our wedding, it was a perfect mix of live and dj entertainment during our reception. They met all of our expectations music-wise and did a phenomenal job of playing music to all generations during the night. We had countless people raving about their performance in the days after their wedding. Can’t recommend them anymore!!!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Denise is amazing! During our DJ search for our wedding, my (now) husband and I came across Denise very early in our search. And I’m so happy that we did! Faced with the fact that we needed to find someone who would get (and keep) both of our dance-happy families on the dance floor, it was daunting to find the perfect fit for us and for the celebration to follow. We had to rely heavily on reviews to narrow down our search…but that only gets you so far when you want to feel the energy. In a leap of faith, we reached out to Denise. After that first meeting, we never looked back! It was easy to just spend time talking to Denise. She was our hype-lady from day one, working with our schedules from planning to the meticulous execution of the wedding day. She was patient with our indecisiveness on which instrumental version of our procession song we wanted (weeks of samples, back and forth, and for us to ultimately pick the first version she shared). As a planner, I very much appreciated Denise’s attention to detail. She combed through every detail with us well beforehand, so that she didn’t have any questions the day of the wedding. I cannot recommend this Lady DJ enough! She helped make our day so special and effortlessly kept people on the dance floor until the lights came on.

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.

My love of music started in the back seat of my dads car as he took me to daycare, with Marvin Gaye's "What's Goin On" on repeat. My love of music spans generations, cultures and genres, and has taken me all over the world, from England, Spain, St. Marteen, and Austria. My hope is that you allow me to curate a musical experience that will leave your guest talking about your wedding for years to come. As for me, I am a Brooklyn native, who during the pandemic was able leave corporate career to pursue my passion of music. My perspective, is to include and create, safe spaces for guests to feel young, and carefree - even if for a few moments.

If you think you are going to get a run of the mill Dj, who just stands behind the booth, look else where. Gregory IS THE PARTY, not only is he versatile with genres but also play songs from the 70's and 80's to current Pop and Afrobeats, truly his musical vocabulary is quite unmatched. Which is why we wanted him at our wedding. and he did not disappoint. At our wedding he danced bachata with guests, he sang with parents, he hosted a dance completion and, literally was the talk of the day for weeks to come. For us, we opted to get the largest package which included bringing not just 1 but 3 of his Dj colleagues, and 4 Speakers running music in three different spaces within the venue. Cocktail hour was a live Brooklyn Brunch Themed Set, with DJ Thematics Inside was a Jazz playlist for our older guest who wanted to stay and chat And an all party in the evening as he plays along side Dj Mastermind & Dj Blackout. All of which was a separate location from the ceremony space which had its own amplification. I have nothing else to say but 5 Stars across the board

There is an art to entertaining. To create a memorable wedding celebration, you need quality entertainment. Most events I do start with some common elements: guests, music and the client’s desire for the event to be successful. It’s the inspiration in the execution and preparation before the event that distinguishes me from the ordinary. While others may do events by number, I make each event an original, a unique reflection of my client…you! I take inspiration from your dreams and desires. I do not ask you to follow someone else’s format because I will thrive in yours.

Butch was simply phenomenal! He was able to keep our small wedding so high energy it felt like we had a room full of a hundred people! He was so flexible with us as we had so many changes throughout the planning process. He was willing to work with us regardless of what our contract stated, he just wanted us to have the best wedding we could. He was so helpful in planning meetings and his tool was easy and fun for us to use! We asked him last minute to do all the ceremony music and he was even willing to jump in the day of to marry us when we thought we were without an officiant. All of our guests raved about him! We can't say enough about Butch except to HIRE HIM! :)

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!

DJ Zeke was incredible! His personality and ability to read the room kept our dance floor full all night long. My wife and I spent most of the time on the dance floor as well...and we don't dance! We had a nice phone meeting about 2 weeks prior to the wedding to go over the schedule of events for the night and songs that we wanted for specific things. We had given him a list of 10-15 songs that we wanted and from that he created a playlist based on our tastes as well as what different groups of guests would enjoy. He happily accommodated our many requests - we did our father daughter dance together, we wanted to open the dance floor with the Chuppah, we were having both sets of parents make speeches along with the maid of honor and best man at separate times, and we had two groups that wanted to perform songs they had written for us! He even hooked them up with the instrumental version of a song for the background. Sheila was awesome when we booked and then when we rescheduled (twice) and setting up the meeting with Zeke before the wedding!

Awarded Best of Zola
We were thrilled with the violinist from Acadia Entertainment, Musician for our wedding! She had great communication throughout the planning process, which made everything easy on our end. On the big day, she made sure to be exactly where she needed to be and double checked details like the order of the songs she was playing. Her performance was wonderful - the music really added so much to our ceremony and cocktail hour. I honestly can't recommend her highly enough for wedding events. Her playing is top notch and you can tell she really cares about doing a fantastic job. We felt she went above and beyond to understand what we wanted and to make our day special. If you're looking for a violinist for your wedding, Acadia Entertainment, Musician comes with our highest recommendation!

The Free Downloads Band 

5.0

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $6,000
  • Serves Portsmouth, NH

The Free Downloads are the ultimate multi-generational cover band and perfect choice to provide live music at your next event. Their always growing song list encompasses over 60 years of popular music. Established in 2009, The Free Downloads have performed hundreds of private events including weddings, corporate functions, birthday parties, and bar mitzvahs. During that time the band has earned a reputation as one of the most professional and talented bands in the New England area, with a deep commitment to doing whatever it takes to exceed expectations! If you need a band that will keep your guests dancing and having fun, look no further!

The Free Downloads played at our wedding on Block Island on 08/07/21 and they were incredible! Their talent & energy truly made our wedding reception unforgettable! We had to postpone our wedding due to the pandemic, but throughout it all the band was so flexible and accommodating. Planning a wedding on an island comes with additional challenges, but they were easy to work with in securing their accommodations and ferry reservations (i.e. they did it all). George was professional, responsive and supportive. After the wedding, they even DJ’d music at the after party and kept the energy pumping into the night. Our family & friends are still raving about how fantastic the band was - 100% recommend!

Cuarteto Guataca 

5.0

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Portsmouth, NH for additional fees

Bassist and bandleader Josh Levine got his start in the professional music business busking in SoHo with The Flying Neutrinos in ’93, so when NYC shut down in Spring of 2020, he capitalized on his experience as a street performer and began to play regularly in the parks of NYC with percussionist and sonero, Jainardo Batista, renowned flutist Itai Kriss making his debut on Cuban trés guitar, and María Raquel on vocals and minor percussion. Before long, the quartet had generated some buzz, several venues hired them to play outdoors and pianist Gabriel Chakarji and Grammy winning flutist and vocalist Jeremy Bosch became staples of the group.

Cuarteto Guataca is AMAZING. Every single member of this group is an absolute joy to work with, and their talent is beyond words! Cuarteto was our wedding band, and I don’t think anyone sat down the entire reception! Hire them now!!
