I have to admit when I first heard about Josh from Celebrations24 being from NY I was a tad worried about how he would fare at a Western Wedding but man he knocked it out of the park! HE was absolutely the best DJ ever. Not only did he listen to all of my wife's and my crazy requests but he put in the best dance music that kept the party going. Then to top it off, he brought out a portable fan to cool down my wife while we were taking our wedding pictures. I would recommend him to anyone.

I think that Matt was the highlight of our wedding! I can not count how many compliments I got on the violinist! We are both busy doctors so had very little time to consult with Matt. We gave him a couple of songs and he sent us so many options, in the end we gave him control of the music haha and he knocked it out of the park!! I would recommend him for any event!

We hired Philip from Good Musicians for our wedding and he was phenomenal! Philip played acoustic guitar for our ceremony/cocktail hour and then transitioned to a fantastic DJ for the reception! He did such a great job playing the song requests we had on the guitar, and he even learned a few that was very important for us to be played! We got SO many compliments from the guests of the wedding on how well he preformed- including family members that are singers and performers themselves! Then for the reception, he brought the PARTY as the DJ. He was able to really capture the vibe of what we were looking for as well as what the guests wanted to hear. Prior to the wedding, he was very attentive to what we were looking for in terms of song request and do not play lists. He also provided a very large song library of suggestions, as well as songs he knows how to play via Spotify- this made our lives SO much easier and was such a great resource!

We had Mike from AHE Productions as our wedding DJ, and I honestly couldn’t have chosen anyone better! His setup was one of the best I’ve ever seen—modern, sleek, and the killer lights matched our black-and-white theme perfectly. From the moment we had our planning call a few weeks before the wedding, I knew everything would run smoothly. Mike made the entire process so easy, and on the day of, everything was flawless. All the music followed our requests to a T, and our guests are still raving about the party! Mike knew exactly when to cut songs short and when to keep the energy high, plus he was fantastic at emceeing when needed. We had two grand entrances, and both were absolutely adorable and perfect. Our customized music for our choreographed first dance and serenade moment sounded incredible on the speakers. The ceremony and dinner music were also spot-on, and the entire evening flowed perfectly.

We are still on a high from the most fun night of our lives all thanks to BeachNights band, Chris and DJ Connor!!! If you want to have music at your wedding that everyone will be talking about for years to come, book BeachNights for your reception and the DJ combo for your other music needs (ceremony, cocktail hour, afterparty). Booking BeachNights for all our music needs was the best decision we made for our wedding day. BeachNights far exceeded our expectations. Chris is so professional, organized, and easy to work with. They have so much experience in all types of venues; you will be glad you have a band who knows exactly what they need to do to put on a seamless performance. They keep the music process worry-free so you can focus on other aspects of wedding planning. A piece of unsolicited advice if I may, book BeachNights for everything: ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, afterparty. It was so much easier being able to talk to ONE person and coordinate all music through ONE group rather than having 4 music vendors involved in the planning process. They take time to learn about you as a couple, your music wants and needs, likes and dislikes so that every single song is exactly what you want and how you pictured your music on your wedding day. THANK YOU Chris and team for making our wedding dreams come true!

  • Serves Sarasota, FL

With her earthy acoustics, dark melodies, and rich vocals, singer-songwriter Liat has been captivating live audiences for over fifteen years. After years of performing in the pulsing cities of Philadelphia and New York, Liat moved to Colorado, where she drew inspiration from the folk music of the mountains. Her music evokes her itinerant life and Israeli-American heritage— 90s’ pop-rock meets 60s’ folk with glints of Middle Eastern desert soundscapes. She spins guitar acoustics with her powerhouse vocals for lyrical “dark folk” sounds that linger long after a performance.

Liat performed for my college graduation party. She was punctual and ready to go with all her equipment. She not only has a beautiful voice but great energy. She was perfect for the intimate setting and also got the crowd up and dancing! It was so fun. It added a really nice element to the party. Love to book her for an another event!

From the very beginning of the planning process, they were incredibly professional, skilled, and easy to communicate with. I had complete confidence in them, and they exceeded all of my expectations. The entertainment on the day of the wedding was fantastic—I’ve had guests reaching out all week to rave about how much fun they had!

  • Starts at $2,020
  • Serves Sarasota, FL

We’re live music experts, wedding enthusiasts, and party starters, infusing every event with energy and full dance floors. We’re here to make your wedding the greatest party of your life! The Bay Kings Band are a premium, customizable 3 to 14 piece band specializing in high-energy music–at a sensible price. Reach out to get started! Visit our website for upcoming showcase dates where you can see the band perform LIVE before booking. You can also tailor the dream band to suit your style and budget. We also offer Photo & Video services!

Between the professionalism, the communication, down to the loving and outrageously fun atmosphere this band will create for your wedding day, what I came to rave about was their ability to turn a bad situation into a memorable one. So many “audibles” had to be called during my reception as there were coordination mishaps and the timing for just about everything went off the rails beginning with dinner. Not only did Bay Kings Band keep the atmosphere light (to where my guests noticed NOTHING), our MC essentially coached me through the remaining timeline of my reception and turned what felt like a bad trip into the most incredible party I’ve ever been to (humble brag) which just so happened to be my own wedding. THANK YOU BAY KINGS BAND ️ if I could give you a million stars I would!!!

Jade Strings Entertainment 

5.0

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Sarasota, FL

Cookie-cutter entertainment? No, thanks. You want to design an event that’s completely custom-fit to your story, which requires finding a group that’s equally comfortable playing Canon in D and anything in the Top 40. Cue Jade Strings.Our all-female ensemble of classically-trained musicians knows Bach like the back of our hands, and we can also put together a killer ceremony composition by none other than Beyoncé. When it’s party time, we’ll keep guests engaged with synthesis performances featuring an electric violinist or saxophone player and our secret weapon, DJ Tommy.

I had been following Jade Strings before I even got engaged. When we finally did get engaged and decided to get married in Florida, I knew they would be there. I reached out to Jade before we even booked our venue or had our date chosen. When it came down to choosing our date, I actually based it off of their available dates and am so glad I did. Hannah & Sarah played the harp & violin for our ceremony, electric violin for cocktail hour and the photobooth for our reception. We received so many compliments on how amazing they were and how different. Jade Strings is not your traditional string duo. They are beyond talented but also young, cute, and fun! I mean they played Doses & Mimosas during our cocktail hour on the electric violin!! It was so amazing and I wish I could get married again just to have them there.

We booked Think Big to play at our wedding in Treasure Island, FL and we were absolutely blown away. They were such good musicians and played the absolute best music all night. All our guests are still talking about how good they were. Colin was so nice and so professional all throughout the booking process. They are one of the best bands I have ever seen. I would recommend them to anyone booking an event or just needing a good band. We danced all night long and they rocked so hard. We loved having them play at our wedding. Thank you Think Big for making our wedding so perfect and wonderful!
