The "Original" Moonlighters ®

3.7

Washington, DC
  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Bristol, RI for additional fees

Since 1990, The Moonlighters ® have been performing throughout the U.S. as one of the country’s best-loved and most authentic Motown and variety dance bands, covering all your Jazz/Blues/Oldies/Motown/Soul/Disco/Funk/Classic Rock/Pop favorites! Just close your eyes and you’ll swear the original artists are performing. But don’t close them for too long or you won’t be able to enjoy their outstanding dance moves and showmanship.

We're quite saddened by their google review, posted even before we had a chance to actually speak with them to clear up several serious inaccuracies. Our band has HUNDREDS of positive online reviews/satisfied wedding clients. And we'll always accept valid criticism. But this one is mostly false and unfair. As Zola does not provide the option for responding to negative reviews, the following are our comments: 1. Since the bride and groom hadn't hired a wedding planner everything was extremely disorganized as we received their timeline just one week prior to the event, but then they changed it twice more, including two days before. Despite asking for our bandleader's phone #, the groom never reached out to discuss any of these details. In other words, we were given minimal direction in regard to all of the last-minute changes. Even on the wedding day itself, our band was asked to set and reset their equipment multiple times because the bride and groom disagreed with the onsite coordinator's floor plan, moving/resetting the bride and groom table as well! 2. According to what the photographer told us, the bride and groom's limo driver was over 90 min. late, shifting the entire timeline and putting them in a bad mood from the very beginning, as noticed by our bandleader at around 5:15pm when he first introduced himself, prior to the band providing either live or recorded music. 3. Regarding the recorded music, it was only lacking for approx. 45 min. as the band discovered the phone battery issue at approx. 7:45pm, during their first break, quickly rectifying the situation by putting the phone on a charger and then continuing with the recorded music outside from approx. 8-10pm. Furthermore, they made up for it by keeping their system running for an extra 30 min., beyond our contracted time of 11pm. And those comments regarding the afterparty are also totally untrue as somebody from the band was manning the system, until a cousin of the bride or groom demanded that he use her playlist instead, and then she responded angrily when he finally turned off the system at 11:30pm. 4. As for the band's sound system, we do acknowledge some 'hum' issues as there was just one electrical outlet provided for the entire band, resulting in 'dirty power' which couldn't be fully corrected. And we deeply regret mispronouncing the various names as most were very unfamiliar and of Indian origin, despite our lining up the wedding party in advance and writing everything down phonetically. 5. Even though some of the client's emails mentioned solo keys during cocktails, we provided a duo, covering an extra 30 min. of recorded music from 4:30-5pm at no extra charge, as requested. While it's standard practice for a band to take a dinner break during an almost six hr. event, this was clearly-specified in our contract as well. And then we performed continuously from 8:30-10pm, including most of the requested songs that we had prepared well in advance. So their comments about seemingly just 'walking off a bus' are completely false and misleading. In other words, our musicians went 'above and beyond' in spite of some very challenging circumstances. 6. Fortunately, we did receive a 'happy reaction' with a crowded dance floor and TONS of compliments from the guests, some requesting pictures w/the band too, while even the bride and groom were singing along and dancing non-stop, which we were VERY happy to see, making their negative review even more surprising though!

Jay and Martha were AWESOME! Highly recommend them for DJing. They were so sweet and gifted guests a surprise towards the end of the night which was a special touch. I still get compliments for how good my wedding DJ was. I host events and parties often, I already know who to have on speed dial. They know how to set the mood and direct it throughout an event. I asked some vague requests, like "no typical white people wedding music" (e.g., Don't Stop Believin', etc.) and had drastically different genres for dinner and party portions. THEY UNDERSTOOD THE ASSIGNMENT and beyond. There were actually several songs I wish I knew because I loved them so much but never heard them before, yet they were really catchy and quite the vibe.

Can’t decide between a DJ or a Band? .. Now you don't have to! This is what we specialize in... HALF DJ. HALF BAND. ALL HYBRID! AMP DJ/BAND HYBRID is a boutique event company owned & operated by husband & wife team, Jimmy & Ana Salvemini. Having performed around the world with Gloria Gaynor, Luther Vandross, and George LaMond to name a few, the Salveminis were looking for an innovative way to bring that same quality of showmanship and professionalism to your special event! Our DJ/BAND HYBRIDs are carefully crafted to your needs giving you limitless musical possibilities! Your event is right around the corner... Get amped and GET AMP!

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring AMP was the all time BEST decision we could have made for our wedding! We had immediate comfort and trust in them from the first time we spoke, and the show they put on for our day was better than we ever could have imagined. They were incredibly responsive and helpful throughout the whole process of planning and had no problem with even the most far-fetched ideas (including my wife surprising me by getting up and playing the drums with the band). If we asked each and every person what their favorite part of our wedding was, hands down it was the music. Ana, Jimmy, and the rest of the band had everyone dancing the entire night without question. It was hit after hit after hit with the whole crowd! So many people rushed to us to ask how we got so lucky finding them. Ana and Jimmy truly respected and acknowledged everyone’s pronouns and made everyone in our family and party seen and comfortable through the entire process. AMP put their entire heart and soul into every performance. Their passion is so evident with each song they play, and their energy is just contagious. You cannot help but smile and dance throughout their whole set. And the TALENT! The talent is through the roof! All of our guests were completely shocked at the level of professionalism and talent AMP brought to our event. I cannot stress enough how utterly amazing AMP is. Do yourself a huge favor and book them, you will not regret it for a second.

The Violin Kat

5.0

Boston, MA
  • Solo performer
  • Serves Bristol, RI for additional fees

"I am an eclectic wedding violinist based in the Worcester-Boston area of Massachusetts. I perform for wedding ceremonies, cocktail hours, dinner receptions, first dances, and dance receptions. I enjoy learning my clients' favorite songs so that their wedding day feels extra special. I am able to play a variety of different music genres (top 100 hits, music from Bridgerton, hip hop, R&B, EDM, rock, big band, & classical) and can perform on my electric violin with your DJ for your reception. I am able to provide my own Bose sound system which can be battery-operated for outdoor areas."

Kathryn is my GO TO live musician for all of my couples. She's a super talented violinist and an absolute dream to work with. So accomodating, professional, organized, and kind. It's so much fun to see the guests enjoy her music - especially when she plays more modern music that people aren't typically used to hearing on the violin. She's the perfect fit for a sweet and romantic ceremony followed by a lively and upbeat cocktail hour. She's even played full receptions at some of my events! I highly recommend working with Kathryn!

Vibeology IA

Belmont, MA
  • DJ
  • Serves Bristol, RI for additional fees

Music is a lifeblood of life's journey: a universal language that invokes emotion and creates memories; and when thoughtfully and passionately curated into a soundtrack, custom-tailored to specifications, preferences and tastes, the outcome is truly magical, noteworthy, and filled with joy, sentiment, and connection. For over 30 years, DJ Denise LaCarubba | Vibeology IA has aligned with clients to create and present soundtracks for weddings, fashion shows, fundraisers, corporate, international and private events.

We met Denise when she DJ'd a friend's wedding and it was the most fun reception I'd ever attended. I knew she HAD to be my DJ if ever I got married! From day 1 of meeting with her for our wedding, it was clear that her goal was to give us the best party of our lives, whatever that looked like to us. She had great advice throughout the entire process and took time to get to know us and what style/vibe we wanted for our reception. Communication is key, and she had the logistics of the reception planned down to the minute. The music portal is very user friendly and it was really fun to think through our music. If you need song advice, she's your gal. She will strictly adhere to your do NOT play list. She gets the guests engaged and is truly a party starter (if that's what you want). Our guests told us they were sore the next morning because they literally never left the dance floor. Many have asked us to do an annual anniversary party and have Denise DJ it. She will become your family DJ for life and we know of at least 2 guests who plan to have her DJ their wedding. She is a lovely human and a STELLAR DJ. You will not regret asking her to DJ your special day! <3

I think beauty is important. Beauty is what inspires us to do something higher than our everyday. A wedding day should be full of beauty. Whether that means beautiful sounds or a beautiful place setting. In my opinion, the two are inextricably linked. Beauty is what I strive to create for each bride and groom.

Danielle and Her team were amazing!! We hired them for our Wedding in August 2023 in Newport RI and they were outstanding!! We had a Trio for Our ceremony outdoors, a Jazz Duo for our Cocktail hour and then we had a DJ with the fusion options and had an Electric Violinist and Electric Guitarists Play!!

First of all: during our reception, countless people came up and asked where we had found this band; they were that good!! This band kept our friends and family of all generations on the dancefloor. Tasteful Tea worked with us to add specific instruments that we wanted for our favorite music genres and had a great song list to look at for reference. They knew how to read a room and keep the party going (without cheesy get-on-the-dancefloor songs). So kind and really made our reception the blast that it was!

S Glastonbury, CT

  • Starts at $2,200
  • Serves Bristol, RI for additional fees

There is an art to entertaining. To create a memorable wedding celebration, you need quality entertainment. Most events I do start with some common elements: guests, music and the client’s desire for the event to be successful. It’s the inspiration in the execution and preparation before the event that distinguishes me from the ordinary. While others may do events by number, I make each event an original, a unique reflection of my client…you! I take inspiration from your dreams and desires. I do not ask you to follow someone else’s format because I will thrive in yours.

Butch was simply phenomenal! He was able to keep our small wedding so high energy it felt like we had a room full of a hundred people! He was so flexible with us as we had so many changes throughout the planning process. He was willing to work with us regardless of what our contract stated, he just wanted us to have the best wedding we could. He was so helpful in planning meetings and his tool was easy and fun for us to use! We asked him last minute to do all the ceremony music and he was even willing to jump in the day of to marry us when we thought we were without an officiant. All of our guests raved about him! We can't say enough about Butch except to HIRE HIM! :)

Luke did such a great job with our wedding! His online planning tools are easy to use, and he and his staff are quick to respond to emails. During the planning meeting he went through everything in detail, so we felt comfortable that everything would go smoothly at the wedding. He stuck to exactly the type of music we wanted and requested through the online portal, and was a fun and professional MC. Couldn't have asked for better :)

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!

Brides, grooms, everyone, hire this company as your DJ, photo booth, and uplighting provider! We were lucky enough to lock them down pre pandemic for our original date (10/10/20) and they were gracious enough to reschedule our contract to our new date (10/10/21) without any difficulty! Sheila was always prompt, warm, and professional, answering our occasional emails over the past 2 years, even in a pandemic! Our DJ, Craig, was the absolute man! We gave him a list of 10 very different must play songs and he delivered! He had the dance floor crowded the whole night and did a wonderful job working with us to choose a play list that would appeal to our entire wedding guest list. Our photo booth was priceless and was a huge hit. The uplighting was so cool and was well worth the cash! Long story short- don’t hesitate to book this company! It’s hard to find a DJ who was as cool and skillful as DJ Craig!

They played a great mix of music that appealed to guests of all ages, and seamlessly transitioned between songs to keep the party going.

He was so great to work with throughout the entire process. The band was truly amazing and gave us the party of a lifetime. They play to the crowd and are SO talented. After a year and a half with no live music, the band (and guests) were so energetic and happy to be back on a stage and dancefloor.

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.

Elegant Music Group

4.3

Montclair, NJ
  • DJ
  • Serves Bristol, RI for additional fees

Elegant Music Group is a full-scale entertainment company offering Bands, DJs, Lighting, Photo Booths, and Event Production. EMG has been providing the highest level of service in event entertainment for over 30 years, and our experience has taught us to prioritize two things above all else: Event Talent + Customer Service. We pride ourselves on creating spectacular and immersive experiences.

EMG was amazing to work with! We used them for our ceremony musicians, DJ and Photo Booth. The cello and keys performing at our ceremony was a beautiful touch. Frank, our DJ, took the time to learn our preferences and vibe and nailed it. The perfect mix of music to get everyone dancing and great energy without being over the top or corny. The Photo Booth was a HIT- such a fun addition that came with a guest book for everyone to sign. Everyone at EMG was very professional and easy to work with. They also use their own app to track event details and make song selections which was great and easy for planning. Highly recommend!!
