Oh man, let's talk about Daniel and his www.azbestdj.com crew! From "booking us" to "being there at last dance of the night" Daniel seriously rocked our wedding day! I mean, he went above and beyond to make sure everything was smooth and exactly how we wanted it. Communication was on point, and he really took the time to understand us and make the music choices for day uniquely ours. I had my special "1st Dance" and "Ceremony music" already picked out, but for "our 8 year olds to 80 year old crowd" I didnt know what to pick for "fast dancing" trusted Daniel to keep the party going and he totally nailed it! We've got some Greek family on my mom's side, and by request from a family member, he even played a sick Greek song later in the night that got everyone grooving together. My aunt led a traditional greek dance step, and it was a blast! Seriously, so many of our guests complimented Daniel and the dance floor was never empty and I liked how the microphones, DJ lights and DJ/MC and even "planning time" were "all included". I can't stress enough how awesome he was as a DJ. If you're looking for the best DJ ever, Daniel's your guy! Highly recommend!

We are so glad we Booked Daniel to do "Live guitar" vs. "canned DJ music" you hear at everyone else's weddings...... His live guitar instrumentals were simply stunning, covering an eclectic mix from pop and rock to country and even some beautiful classical pieces for part of our wedding ceremony. He went the extra mile by setting up a wireless microphone for our ceremony officiant, and used the same speaker as for his Guitar to amplfied the wordes spoken at ceremony and his acoustic electic guitar both. After the ceremony, we hired him to stay for cocktail hour. Our guests couldn't stop raving about his performance, and he even learned a special song just for our big day. Thanks a ton, Daniel

Strings for Celebrations 

4.5

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Serves Ruidoso, NM

There is nothing like live music! Since coming back stronger than ever in 2022, Strings for Celebrations provides your favorite and most special tunes featuring harmonious strings! We have any song, and any style + genre, for any occasion.

I hired Strings for Celebrations to perform prelude and ceremony music for my wedding in June of 2024. I had a special request: as a composer, I wrote the ceremony music myself. SFC not only let us choose from a huge list of awesome songs for them to play before the ceremony, but they played all of my own works with gusto, excellent musicianship, and poise. I couldn't have asked for better. They truly contributed to making my special day absolutely perfect. Natalie was great at corresponding during the months that led up to our wedding, and she was more than fair with her pricing. Would recommend SFC for any special occasion.

Wild Faith (Leonardo Armijo) 

5.0

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $1,888
  • Serves Ruidoso, NM for additional fees

"My guests didn't stop raving about how awesome the band was." This is direct from a wedding client review. Our diverse repertoire allows us to help you create the perfect soundtrack for your wedding (Ask for our song list!) We are a contest winning, personable band looking to make your wedding unforgettable. We perform dozens of wedding per year. Great with all ages, special requests and have event planning experience. I'd love to provide price quotes tiered for up to a 6 piece band. That way you can find the perfect balance for your budget and music entertainment needs.

Working with Leo was a great experience. He went above and beyond in providing me the service I had anticipated. His band Wild Faith played for my wedding reception just last weekend and they sounded great. When I first started talking with Leo about his availability he was prompt in his communication and also offered to learn new song material beyond his already extensive set list. This was what really made Leo an exceptional value to us. His offer of learning special songs for us, attention to detail, timeliness in communication as well as showing up on time at our cold and rainy outdoor ceremony site were what he delivered. His band sounded great and he also nailed everyone of our requested songs. In my opinion Leo and his band were ultimately a great fit for us. His value in comparison to other bands I spoke with was unsurpassed. It's a shame that far to often when the term wedding comes up in the hiring process, bands and other vendors seem to charge more for no other reason than the simple fact that they chose to do so. Leo did not over charge for his services and his performance was simply amazing. My guests didn't stop raving about how awesome the band was. He made our wedding special with his professionalism, kindness and the unique sound of his band. He was engaging with the crowd and I wouldn't hesitate to hire Wild Faith again for any future needs. I highly recommend talking to Leo about any live music performances you need to book. He will over deliver and you will be the beneficiary of his work.
