With all the energy and hype of a live band and the flexibility of a DJ, you won’t have to decide between hiring a band or a DJ for your next event or wedding.

Awarded Best of Zola
Our wedding planner recommended Golden Bell because we wanted the excitement of a live band but the range of songs you get from a DJ - hiring them was one of the best decisions we made! Gabe was communicative, easy to work with, and immediately understood what kind of vibe we were looking for - joyful, fun, dance party! The dance floor was packed the entire night! We also had our ceremony at a church nearby to our reception venue, and they did a live marching band that led our guests from one location to the next. Golden bell was truly one of the most fun and memorable parts of our wedding. If you are thinking about hiring Golden Bell, you should absolutely do it. You and your guests will love them!

Sounds Elevated

Pinole, CA
  • DJ
  • Starts at $2,500

Sounds Elevated specializes in offering the best premium wedding and event services in the SF Bay Area and select destinations worldwide. We create exciting and unique events and go above and beyond to create a special experience for our couples and clients. We have a team of event professionals who specialize in DJ / Live fusion, world-class dance parties, stunning lighting design and high-quality photo booths. When good isn’t good enough and your worst fear is getting that cheesy DJ that your guests don’t like or won’t remember, Sounds Elevated is here to help!

This review for Zeb (and the whole Sounds Elevated Team) is long overdue. Zeb is not only an incredible musician in his own right but plays the role of musical conductor with equal panache. A true “Jack of All Trades.” Some of the many hats he wore for our wedding include: -He played solo guitar for our ceremony -Lined up a jazz quartet for the happy hour -Setup the party lighting (party but classy) for the reception -Setup a photo booth for guests to take fun photos (a big hit btw) -DJ’d with a live accompaniment combo for the reception - stayed up way later than we asked him to, and DJ our afterparty (which was a VERY different vibe than the reception). He was hustling for easily 10 hours straight. And every single element he contributed to the festivities was top tier. My older cousin, a professional musician for many years, was blown away by the level of talent. It’s been almost two years since the wedding and we still get compliments about the entertainment. He and his team went above and beyond. Easily the best “value” for anything we spent money on for the wedding. I strongly recommend meeting with Zeb and gearing his philosophy/approach to weddings/events.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had the pleasure of having Cello Joe handle the music for our wedding at Hans Fahden Winery in 2019, and we couldn't be happier with our decision. Joe asked for, and listened to, our requests in advance, making our day extra special. He played the cello beautifully during the ceremony, and his original music set a wonderful backdrop for the cocktail hour. But Joe didn't stop there; he also did an excellent job MCing and DJing with a personalized playlist for the reception. His versatility and talent truly shone through, keeping the energy high and ensuring everything ran smoothly. We're so grateful for the incredible job he did and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a talented musician and entertainer for their wedding. Thank you, Cello Joe, for making our day even more memorable!

Having Funk Almighty at our wedding last year was both the cake and icing on top! It’s not just the usual band experience because on top of the great music some of the band stepped onto the dance floor with us, and that just blew our guests away! They danced and sang with us and our guests, bringing an amazing energy that was both intimate and exhilarating for us!! They even did a dance routine that all our guests caught on too and before we knew it everyone was doing the same dance. We looked at quite a few bands and we cannot recommend them enough because they made our wedding feel more like a shared experience with friends than a formal event. It was a highlight for many of our guests and truly showcased Funk Almighty's commitment to not just performing music but creating lasting memories, which was something Daryl promised us right off the bat. We're incredibly thankful for this special aspect of their performance and cannot recommend them enough if you’re looking for an unforgettable night! *Original review posted on theknot.com https://www.theknot.com/marketplace/funk-almighty-chicago-il-2062080

I hired Jackie to sing at my wedding reception Dec 3rd 2022! When I heard some samples of her voice on YouTube, I knew she has was the one I wanted singing at my wedding!! She has a beautiful beautiful soulful voice that you can get lost in for days. Jackie was super flexible, shared her ideas and suggestions when I I didn't know what direction to go with songs ( wedding planning was stressful) but she made it easy to plan and make suggestions based on my song choices. I had her sing and play the piano for 3 different songs Father daughter dance, mother son dance, and cake cutting! Looking back, being someone who’s goal was to have more entertainment then speeches, id had her perform the whole time! Our guest raved about her voice, her performance, and how beautiful her renditions sounds. She was SO SO EASY TO WORK WITH.. With a wedding being crazy expensive.. She was accommodating to our budget! There’s no doubt I’d hire her again! She can sing anything! Love love love her

Lucky Devils Band

5.0

Los Angeles, CA
  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $2,020
  • Serves Alameda, CA

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 Lucky Devils are a premium, customizable 3 to 14 piece band specializing in high-energy music–at a sensible price. 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. Reach out to get started! We also offer Photo-Video services!

When my husband and I started planning our wedding two years ago, we agreed right away that we both wanted a live band for the reception - it was the most important thing for both of us, as we knew we wanted that kind of energy in the room. As we researched bands (mostly through wedding-themed websites like Wedding Wire and The Knot), we came across the Lucky Devils Band and saw all of their good reviews. There are a lot of other bands you can find in and around Los Angeles, but they had one really big advantage that most other bands didn’t - regularly scheduled showcases where you could see them perform live. LDB were actually the first band we seriously considered, but we still did our due diligence and looked into a lot of other bands. We said to each other - we can’t just book the first band we find! Well, we ended up doing just that, and it was the best decision we made! Not only do they make it easy for couples to come see them live, they are also talented, professional, and truly affordable. Mike Smirnoff, the musician/producer who was our main point of contact was super responsive, friendly, and remembered us from early on (we ended up attending a lot of their showcases because we just enjoyed hearing them live!). The small downside to the band is that because they are essentially a collective, you won’t necessarily know which musicians will be playing on the day of your event, however, Mike took into account all of our specific requests for certain members we saw at each of their showcases, and he secured everyone that we had wanted. We had a six-piece band, which included two versatile musician/singers (Andrew on guitar & vocals, and Jason on keyboard and vocals) so we got the most bang for our buck. Kaitlyn was amazing on vocals, and Mark was killer on sax, with Dimitri on bass and Mike himself on drums rounding out the band. We got SO many compliments from our guests all night long - including from his parents, who are VERY picky about music, and from other friends who are composers/musicians themselves. Our wedding was in March, right as the pandemic panic was kicking into high gear - and we were very stressed about the cancellations and our own fears, but when the music started playing, we forgot about all of it and danced until we couldn’t feel our feet. We highly recommend the Lucky Devils Band to all couples!! Get yourselves to a showcase and see for yourselves how great they are!!

Manny and his team were amazing. Before the wedding he made sure to ask if we wanted specific songs for different parts of the ceremony and reception. We didn’t have a ton of specific songs, but we made a list of music with the vibes we wanted. Manny took the list, ran with it, and really took care of us. The dance floor was packed all night! He even played Tagalog pop songs and managed sound for a Filipino folk dance group. We also loved the little details like the template for our photo booth photos, the lights for the dance floor, and our initials projected on the wall. Thank you Bay Pro DJs, we’re so glad that you were there to help make our wedding so special.

The Hook Club was my absolute favorite part of our wedding reception. We told Dan we were looking for an amazing dance party, and we got better than I could have imagined. They are so talented and fun, we've gotten tons of compliments from our guests about how fun the music was to dance to and that they can't believe a wedding band could be that good. We booked the 6-piece DJ band and the set up was beautiful, and each musician was so impressive. They can perform a wide range of genres and the cadence of the songs they played worked perfectly to keep the party going throughout the night . They TRULY know what they're doing to help you have an amazing wedding. The planning process was smooth and clear, we got to choose the songs from an extensive but manageable list, and Dan was so responsive and helpful, offering his expertise to help us make certain decisions. I am so thankful that we found and booked The Hook Club, and I'd recommend them a thousand times over!

We contracted with DJ MC Duke (Michael) for two events in April. Each event was about as different from each other as you can get....one being a company appreciation party with only adults and the second being a family festival geared towards kids with 4,000 plus in attendance. Michael was amazing at both. Michael is not just a DJ, we had him MC at both events as well and he did an amazing job at both! Michael created specific material, play lists for each audience and really interacted with the kids at the festival....the kids had a blast. He was entertaining, fun to work with, funny, professional, on time, flexible, and at both venues lived up to our expectations in a HUGE way! I have worked with a lot of DJ's and he is the BEST I have ever worked with all the way around. We will hire him for all of our events from now on.
