Griffin And The Gargoyles 

5.0

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Serves Rio, WI

Griffin and the Gargoyles is St. Louis’ premier high-energy party and dance band. Having won the 2020 St. Louis Post Dispatch’s “Readers Choice Favorite Band” award as well as the “Best Wedding Band” by the Perfect Wedding Guide’s Vendors’ Choice Awards six years in a row, musicianship and style is the reason Griffin and the Gargoyles has played to packed houses for many years. Their extensive play-list and freshness keeps the crowds coming back for more.

Griffin & The Gargoyles came together last minute to play at our wedding. We had another band lined up that canceled five days prior and while I was upset at the time, I lucked out! They are hands down the best, most fun and entertaining band you could hire! They will get the dance floor moving and it will be a blast all night long! Look no further. If you are reading this, then you should take my advice and book them already!

I was recommended DJ SoundWaves by someone in a mom group that I am in. I received many recommendations but Brian and his team were my first choice pick. He married my husband and I on his OWN wedding anniversary - I was so thankful and appreciative that he wanted to celebrate our day with us! Brian and his team did an amazing job the day of the wedding, and also the time leading up to the wedding. I had no idea it would be so hard to pick songs (or how many songs we needed) - and Brian was very patient with us and he even gave some suggestions of songs. The day went flawlessly and I would recommend him to anyone in a heart beat! The prices were fair and everything that we paid for, we received!

I first heard Erica sing in a more casual setting, but I later found out she also sung at weddings. I loved her voice and acoustic style so I asked if she might be willing to use her talent at our wedding. My dad had recently passed away, and I was wanting to include a couple of his favorite hymns as a part of our ceremony. Erica did a beautiful job leading our guests in singing, and it truly was the perfect tribute to his memory.

We recently had our wedding on May 3, 2024, and Jeff from BTSound was our DJ. Jeff was absolutely awesome to work with and really listened to everything we had to say. We had an interview with him beforehand, and it made me instantly want to work with him. As an avid music fanatic and house head, we didn't want just a "wedding DJ"; We wanted a real DJ, and Jeff truly is one. He has the background to back it up. Jeff was very easy to work with, incredibly personable, and willing to play whatever we wanted to hear. We couldn’t have found a better DJ for our wedding. If you’re looking for a DJ who understands music and will make your event unforgettable, Jeff from BTSound is the one to go with.

North Georgia Weddings and Events was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From our very first interaction, their communication was easy, quick, and incredibly helpful. They took the time to understand our vision and preferences, and went above and beyond to ensure our wedding day was everything we dreamed of. The quality of their work was outstanding, and the value they provided far exceeded our expectations. We would highly recommend North Georgia Weddings and Events to any couple planning their special day. My husband and I are the last of our very large, tight knit group to get married and we heard from everyone that Sean was the best DJ out of all of our weddings (Florida, Illinois, etc.). We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Also, if budget allows, get the cold sparklers! We only have sneak peaks right now, but the pictures are stunning and it was so fun!

  • Serves Rio, WI for additional fees

When I was 16 years old I began to teach myself how to play guitar so that I could impress a girl that I had a huge crush on... she wasn't very impressed at the time. However, one day I was playing outside and a woman walking by asked my to sing in her wedding. That day change my entire life. I truly fell in love with music when I performed at that wedding, and have since made it my job to make every wedding day as special, and unforgettable as possible. (please email herwigmusic (at) gmail for booking-- sorry i can't put the actually email address in there...)

We hired Tyler to perform for our daughter's wedding. He was so wonderful to work with and was willing to make several adjustments last minute that would have been impossible with recorded music due to unfortunate weather the day of the wedding. Tyler walked us through music options for the ceremony helping us choose music that was more than just 'nice' but brought out our bride and groom's personalities. He was a calming spirit and his music for the ceremony and cocktail hour was perfect! We loved him so much that we hired him to play at our son's wedding as well. We absolutely recommend Tyler Herwig for any event!!

Their communication throughout the planning process was excellent - they were honest about what they could and couldn't do, flexible when we had to make minor changes, and thoughtful in making sure they really understood the vibe we were going for. The quality and value of their work was truly impressive. They kept guests of all ages dancing nonstop for the entire 3 hour set, seamlessly transitioning between genres and decades. We received so many compliments on the song selection and the incredible vocals.

DJ Mitch Entertainment

  • Starts at $1,695
  • Serves Rio, WI for additional fees

Hi, my name is Mitch! I grew up surrounded by music. I started playing saxophone in 5th grade and pretty much from then on music has encompassed my life. After graduating from college with a music degree and working in customer service for over 3 years, the thought of combining my passion for music and love of serving people always sounded too good to be true! My number one goal is to help you craft an unforgettable wedding, one note at a time! How do I do that? by getting to know you and catering to your likes and dislikes! Also with my secret weapon! (my saxophone)

We cannot express enough praise and gratitude for Mitch! We had the privilege of working with him for our wedding on 7/6/24. From preplanning meetings to the wedding day, Mitch was extremely on top of everything to ensure our wedding day ran smoothly. He also communicated with our other vendors on the day of the wedding to ensure everyone was on the same page! When we had our live acoustic guitarist back out somewhat suddenly, we reached out to Mitch for references. To our surprise, he offered us an even better idea to have him play sax and a friend play guitar at the ceremony. All of our guests absolutely loved it and it brought a really special feel to the ceremony. On top of that, the energy he brings to MCing got our guests super excited and involved! Part of our package included having Mitch play Sax at the reception… JUST DO IT! It was so fun having him jump on the dance floor and interact with our guests! Mitch made our wedding a day to remember for all, and we cannot recommend him enough. Thank you DJ Mitch!

They all were fantastic to work with and I could definitely tell that Ali & Drake were the best match for my wedding. I wasn't sure what to think about booking a company that matches a DJ to your wedding after booking, but they really did take the time to find what music style I liked and which DJ was going to vibe the best. Highly recommend!!!! The entire planning process was so easy with them and the online portal was so simple to use! They truly made my day exceptional!

  • Serves Rio, WI for additional fees

Not just a DJ That sits in the corner playing a thrown together playlist on a single speaker and looks like part of the furniture. Im also a Commercial Voice actor, Announcer and MC. My big thing though is that i'm a father of 6 kids (5 Daughters yep I spoil the brides) so I treat every couple the way I would want some one to treat one of my kids for their wedding. I include a lot of the most popular item request as part of my normal offering with no upselling or "for an extra fee". I try to keep it simple sweet and most of all I try to take as much of the worry off your plate and put it on mine even for day of wedding task.

As another vendor, I believe Dallas is clearly passionate about providing an excellent experience for his clients. He took the time to meet with me to walk through the venue prior to the wedding to make sure he was prepared. We had several phone conversations and it was clear he put a lot of thought and effort into the extra little details that could elevate the event for the Bride & Groom. Dallas can be talkative, but I think it's because he's so set on going above and beyond for his clients! During the wedding, he was professional and attentive. The couple wanted to go between dancing and karaoke during the reception and Dallas made it happen while taking requests from the guests. There was a slight issue with the microphone sound during the reception when he would announce certain things (line up for buffet, remember to sign the guest book, etc - this was NOT an issue during speeches), but I feel like it may have been the venue. Overall, I would recommend Raven Blu Entertainment for anyone looking for a DJ!
