The band plays all the best music ranging from today's top 40s all the way back to your favorite classic oldies!

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Emily and Arch City Lights as a whole was truly a breeze. They allowed you to customize your experience with them as much as you need. Emily does a great job at keeping the timeline for planning etc. and initiating communication along the way. We had Arch City Lights set up sound for our Ceremony for which they did not play. Everything sounded great, was a very modern and minimal setup (they use computers for mixing etc. so it is not overly bulky). The quality was incredible and there were no squeals or sound problems. They were able to set this up very quickly and efficiently and the staff were calm, very friendly, and followed all venue rules etc. - only asking questions when extremely necessary. We also had Arch City Lights perform as a Jazz Trio for our Cocktail Hour. This was while the wedding party was taking photos, so I am very happy that we got a video. They were very engaging, extremely talented, and you could tell they had a great time playing. It really set the perfect mood for the cocktail hour. Emily was the Emcee for the entire wedding. Her "stage presence", calmness, and ability to roll with the punches made her the perfect candidate for this job and she worked hard to make sure she pronounced every name perfectly (which she did - even Metivier (haha)). She has a great voice and really added the narrator and vibe that we needed. She followed all cues and social prompts on her own and really took charge of the whole process - making everything go very smoothly and perfectly accompanying all of the wedding pieces with pre-chosen music that we determined together. They DJ all of the songs you want and make it very simple. Lastly, Arch City lights played us into the night and was truly the life of the party. They adapted their original schedule from 3 sets with 2 breaks to 2 longer sets with less breaks (I am assuming to keep the party going - thanks), and this show will be talked about for years to come. Every single attendee made sure to comment on Emily and the others' "pipes," and skills on their corresponding instruments. They did an amazing job playing songs that we asked for and keeping the party rocking. They had a full band with Horns etc. and everything about them was perfect and professional. If I had some constructive criticism to give, I really would, but Emily and Arch City Lights went above and beyond in so many ways to make this an unforgettable night. I would not have changed a thing.

When it comes to weddings, there's only one chance to get it right! It's why I care so much about each wedding and that I treat each one as if it were my own! THAT is the kind of passion I give each and every one of my couples to not only ensure the vision for their day comes to reality but that their ONLY 'responsibility' on their wedding day is to celebrate with their family and friends! Quite frankly, I LOVE weddings and I consider it an honor to be part of their day & assisting them in creating lifelong memories (not to mention the amount of trust that my couples place upon me).

We truly cannot say enough about having Jack DJ for our May 2024 wedding. We both have large families and friends, all of whom like to dance and party. I personally think a DJ/music can absolutely make or break a wedding, so we were very nervous when making our decision. After the initial phone call with him, we were very happy with our choice. He played such a mix of music, all of which we loved. We gave him a small list of songs we absolutely wanted to hear, but wanted him to also do his own thing, which we are so glad we did! He is professional, so on top of the music and can read the room perfectly. And he doesn't constantly talk like other wedding DJs. The dance floor was packed ALL night long – and most of our guests stayed the entire night. Even on a Monday night when many had to work the next day!! My only disappointment was that we couldn't have Jack for longer! You absolutely will not regret booking Jack. TRUST ME!!!

Jonathan Grice and Party Pleasers did an amazing job at our reception. Jonathan is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to planning an event. He was able to help walk us through the planning process and provide great suggestions and options for our event. His experience made this task which can be overwhelming, very easy for us. Party Pleasers has an application that they sent to us which walks you through everything so that you can make choices for events and songs for your ceremony and/or reception. During the ceremony and reception, Jonathan set up the audio and lighting well prior to our event. The execution was flawless. Jonathan exudes a professional presence, and his voice is amazing. We also appreciate the fact that he would step in to assist other vendors when needed as well as open doors for our guests even when he was busy. He is truly a team player. Jonathan kept the dance floor packed all night and he kept the party going. We highly recommend Party Pleasers and Jonathan Grice as a DJ for your event. Thank you, Jon.

Griffin & the Gargoyles 

5.0

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Serves Upper Arlington, OH

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!
