We cannot recommend DJ Eddie enough! He went above and beyond to help me execute a surprise for my husband during our ceremony, which involved playing a special song featuring the voice of his late mother. It was executed flawlessly and turned out to be one of my husband’s favorite moments of the entire day. As for the reception, the dance floor was never empty! Even family members who rarely dance were out there having a blast. So many guests told us, “The DJ was playing all the best tunes!” His song selections and transitions were perfect, keeping the energy high and everyone engaged. If you’re looking for a DJ who is professional, detail-oriented, and truly knows how to create unforgettable moments, look no further. They made our wedding absolutely magical! From the ceremony to cocktail hour to the reception everything was perfect!

We booked Thomas to DJ our wedding at Kai Kai Farms almost two years in advance, based on recommendations from other vendors, and he was everything we hoped for and more. Thomas went way beyond just DJing—he helped guide the whole night, keeping our timeline on track and adding so many personal touches. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does, and it shows in his work. Thomas checked in with us every few months leading up to the wedding, making sure we knew he was always available if we had questions. He even gave us a heads-up when he’d be on vacation, so we’d not worry if we did not get a quick response. We had an interfaith ceremony, and he handled the hora perfectly, working closely with our rabbi. Thomas’s professionalism and warmth made our wedding unforgettable, and we can’t recommend him highly enough. He truly made our night special.

We hired Chris to be our DJ at first and he walked us through the process of what we needed to do and how they were going to make sure everything was perfect for our wedding! Later down, I asked about an MC for our wedding because I felt there was so much going on and I wouldn't have time to make sure everything was in order with vendors, timelines, and I didn't want to ask my family to do it for me. Chris assured me he would take care of all the details so all I had to do was arrive at my wedding, focus on myself and have the most amazing time. Chris truly went above and beyond, everything was handled, and I didn't have to panic over my vendors or timing, he was right there reminding me where I needed to be and if things were good to go ahead.

All the music followed our requests to a T, and our guests are still raving about the party!

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!

LIAT (singer/songwriter) 

5.0

  • Solo performer
  • Starts at $1,200
  • 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.

For as long as I’ve known Liat I’ve always been captivated by her voice. She has a presence that is magnetic. Anyone who’s ever heard her sing has felt drawn to her performance and longs to be a part of the experience. When Liat played our first dance at our wedding it was hard not to cry. She learned our song while truly making it her own. Even though it was Radiohead and kind of emo it was special to us. She knew what that meant and delivered not only a song, but a moment we will never forget. I would recommend her to be the voice of any event. Her live music is now forever a cherished memory everyone should get to have and to hold.

We picked some unique songs for our processional that typically have heavy orchestration involved but Bryan was able to arrange them to sound beautiful on just guitar. The bossa nova they played for our cocktail hour was also incredible, everyone loved it! Such great style and energy all around, we couldn’t have asked for better live music on our special day.

Couldn't be more pleased, Jakes communication was outstanding and really put my mind at ease knowing I wouldn't have anything surprises to worry about!

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!

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!!!

From the first inquiry, Jason responded almost immediately and was very thorough and informative in his communication. We set up a phone call about a week later and we just knew it was going to be the right fit! The show was amazing and the entertainers really wowed the crowd. They were funny, personable and of course talented. We would highly recommend The Copper Piano to anyone considering live music!!

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.
