My experience with Matt was fun from the start! We met early on when I was just starting to plan music for the reception, and we had a wonderful time brainstorming ideas to make it fun for us and all of our guests! And I am sure it is similar with all of his staff. Matt particularly helped ease some of my acoustical concerns since I am hearing impaired and still wanted to make the most of a fun evening of dancing, singing, and celebrating! I am so happy that we invested in LB Entertainment for our special day! Book him early!

Welcome to Dancefloor Delight, the premier wedding DJ company dedicated to making your big day an unforgettable experience! Our team of experienced and professional DJs is committed to providing top-quality entertainment that will have you and your guests dancing all night long.

On the day of the wedding, Dancefloor Delight truly exceeded our expectations. They arrived early to set up their equipment and made sure everything was in place before the reception began. Once the party started, the DJ kept the energy high and the dance floor packed. They played a great mix of music that appealed to guests of all ages, and seamlessly transitioned between songs to keep the party going. One of the things that really stood out to us was how the DJ took the time to get to know our preferences and incorporate them into the playlist. They also did a great job of reading the crowd and adjusting the music as needed to keep everyone engaged. I would definably recommend!

LRO is simply amazing. (They were the first vendor we hired.) They are so easy to work with and really want your wedding to be amazing! They are an insanely talented bunch and not the “typical wedding band.” We’ve been to several weddings where they played (including our own) and each time is fantastic, so they always hit the mark. If you want a wedding where everyone is on the dance floor, the energy is high, and people will talk about your day for literally years to come ... hire LRO. If you don’t, you’re making a mistake.

They delivered above and beyond what I expected for my wedding reception and had people up and dancing almost immediately after the toasts and speeches, like they said they would. Every guest at wedding, both young and old, said that the music was great to both dance to and listen to. I will be recommending them for any couples that I know who are getting married in NJ.

If you want an absolutely SPECTACULAR wedding band, look no further. Hot Mess was truly the best decision we made for our wedding. Jason, Gail, and the entire Hot Mess team was wonderful to work with throughout the entire process. They were super accommodating, kind, helpful, and they had endless patience when working with a very distracted bride. :) During the wedding itself, they had all 130 people on the dance floor from start to finish, and everyone had an incredible time. They truly went above and beyond to make our day extra special, such as learning a song in Portuguese and changing into pink outfits halfway through the night. It has been almost 6 months since our wedding, and our guests still can't stop talking about our amazing wedding band! I truly can't recommend Hot Mess enough; they are the whole package and so so much more!! THANK YOU to Hot Mess for making our wedding day the absolute best.

Boston, MA
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,999
  • Serves Sherman, CT for additional fees

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!

Not to mention how engaging and kind they were! Including wedding guests in songs by passing the mic and dancing with us on the dance floor made it feel so personal and that our wedding was the most important event to them!

Cuarteto Guataca 

5.0

New York, NY
  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Sherman, CT 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.

I have used Cuarteto Guataca both personally (birthdays, family events) and professionally as a wedding/ event florist and event planner for YEARS. Every time they manage to get everyone on their feet. They are super professional always and extremely easy to work with. Hands down, Josh and his band will always be my first choice for latin entertainment (any entertainment for that matter)!!

  • Serves Sherman, CT for additional fees

We're a family run entertainment company serving the northeast region for weddings, private parties, and corporate events. We offer exciting solutions with expert attention to details/logistics, and the ability to work with a broad range of budgets, wants, and expectations.

Cannot say enough about what an absolute pleasure it was working with DJs Joe and Chris and photobooth pro Lisa. Joe checked in often to learn more about us as a couple, and encouraged us to submit some of our favorite tunes he could build a playlist around. As the wedding got closer, I honestly forgot to update our list and had no idea what to expect - but TRUST that they knew exactly how to get the crowd onto the dance floor! We opted out of having parent dances and speeches at the reception so it was a dance-heavy party, but Chris and Joe kept the flow going until the very end! As a therapist, I know the energy it takes to keep a crowd cohesive, and these guys have it. Highly, highly recommend!!
