I was blown away by the talent of the musicians, they really take their craft seriously. I requested a Roaring Twenties theme from Louis Pettinelli and they went above and beyond to make it happen. The singer Karlea was phenomenal and did an amazing job of keeping our guests engaged and entertained. The musicians were all courteous, professional, and exceptionally talented. They dressed appropriately for our wedding theme and many of the guests at the Hawthorne Hotel wanted to take pictures with Karlea in her Twenties attire. In addition to being a wonderful experience, they were also a great value for the price. These are top quality musicians and we paid a reasonable price for the band.

The Fox Theatre is currently offering DJ services. Glenn is a charismatic, and passionate DJ that will help bring all the elements of your big day together. Not sure what you want? His years of experience will help you weigh pros and cons and make informed decisions. We also have tables and chairs available for rent. Call today for a free consultation (435-233-6046). If you are looking for a venue, we have had some success connecting couples with beautiful vacation rental destinations that allow events. There are pros and cons to this option, so check with Glenn to see if this option is good for you.

I will start with Glenn is a great person and was very easy to communicate with leading up to the wedding and responded to messages quickly. There is a list that you are given by the DJ for all the important moments for songs to play, that was great and done correctly. The reason we gave lower stars were for the following reason; the playlists we sent were not used. We gave playlists for every duration of the wedding for music we wanted played during the pre ceremony music, dinner and reception/dancing. Out of the playlist songs only a handful were actually played for each section and for the pre ceremony not at all. Even after having been brought to their attention at the dinner during the reception, dancing went the same random unwanted music was being played. People were unable to dance to the music that was playing and it was frustrating when the DJ announced come request music and then the songs people were requesting (which were on the playlists) weren’t getting played anyways. We would hope that moving forward he plays the music people actually want to hear and dance to at their wedding because this is a memory the couple will always remember and it is something that we still hear about from guests even to this day about how the music was lacking.

Awarded Best of Zola
Have about 200 people showing up to your reception and want to guarantee that everyone from your aunts and uncles to your most particular friend all send you texts about how perfect your wedding band was? Great, you're done with your search. We worked with The Hook Club on an ambitious two-day wedding, which included them doing live sound for our Friday welcome party, live sound for the music at our ceremony, some deep cut requests, and our desire to not just have "another wedding band." What we got was an incredibly talented, creative, and kind group of people who were ready to make whatever we wanted happen, ready to add ideas and layers, and who then completely blew away our expectations. We're in that era of our lives where we've been to about 100 weddings in the last 10 years, and we can honestly say that no band has even come close to The Hook Club. A year later everyone is still talking about how great our band was. They are true professionals in every sense of the word, and you should seriously consider booking your venue around whether or not THC is available. That's not hyperbole - they were that good.

We discovered and booked our DJ by doing "web form" on www.azbestdj.com while browsing for "Inland Empire and Orange County" DJs. We even got a "email quote and response" 20 minutes after our "web browsing" . Our wedding took place at a fantastic horse property that doubles as a wedding venue near Temecula, CA. Our assigned DJ went above and beyond—setting up a battery-powered ceremony system for our beautiful 20-minute outdoor ceremony overlooking the horses, hills, and vineyards in the distance. EVEN before ceremony started the DJ had preplanned our songs withi us and after consulting with us, we "upgraded" to have "2 DJ systems" at our wedding to go "no gaps in music" from Ceremony to reception that were over 500 feet apart. If you're planning your wedding, —highly recommended!

Eric was an absolute hit at our wedding. He absolutely crushed the whole night! From setting the perfect tone throughout our ceremony, to coordinating directions for our guests, and most importantly energizing the whole room all night during the reception. We received so many compliments about our D.J. and everyone asking where we found him. But his services went so far above and beyond the night of the wedding. Starting 9 months before the big night, he devoted precious time getting to know us as a couple and individuals. Over the course of many, many zoom meetings he manifested our perfect night by asking all the important questions, building us an even more detailed timeline than our coordinator had provided, and offering several super helpful suggestions and guidance that we never would have came up with ourselves. All culminating in the perfect night, that was executed so seamlessly and flawlessly, better than we could've ever imagined or hoped for. Don't take our word for it, give him a call, and you will know he is your guy!

"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.

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.

Cuarteto Guataca is AMAZING. Every single member of this group is an absolute joy to work with, and their talent is beyond words! Cuarteto was our wedding band, and I don’t think anyone sat down the entire reception! Hire them now!!
