The Sulls are a tight knit network of friends who provide music for wedding couples across the northeast. Their award winning live show and musicianship is perfect for wedding couples who are hard pressed to find a wedding band that suits them.

My husband plays in a wedding band and is a musician so having live music at our wedding was a must. They did not disappoint. They sounded amazing, played great songs and were the talk of the wedding! Our guests and us loved them so much! I would recommend them to everyone!

Mercier Music Weddings

5.0

Mapleville, RI
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Essex, CT

My philosophy for music is, "You bring the dancers and I'll bring the music".  I'll take your requests and my years of experience and turn your wedding into something your guests will never forget.  In order to play the right song at the right time, it's all about observation and knowing your crowd.  As I am selecting and mixing songs, I am attentive to everyone's reaction. Years of performing gives me an understanding of action and reaction... an easier way to put it is, I know how to rock the socks off your wedding!

Lindsay Straw performed for the ceremony and cocktail hour at our outdoor wedding in 2019 and was absolutely magical. She has an incredibly beautiful voice and set the perfect mood for our wedding. So many of our guests came up to us during our reception and after the wedding to comment on how wonderful Lindsay was and we couldn't agree more! We still receive comments on her performance almost 5 years later! Lindsay was also incredibly professional and so easy to work with. We went to see her perform at the Arlington Farmer's Market and met with her after to discuss booking her. She was so helpful and her music was so lovely at the farmer's market that we knew we had to book her. We are so happy that we did! She made the whole process seamless and it was fabulous not to have to worry about the music at all. Our wedding was also outside on the hottest day of the year and Lindsay didn't bat an eye! We can't recommend her highly enough and would strongly encourage anyone to book her for their event.

Check out what sets us apart from other Connecticut wedding DJs below, scroll down to meet our team, and see if your date is still available.

Awarded Best of Zola
When we first looked into hiring a DJ, we thought it was as simple as picking someone to play music and get the dance floor going. But we were impressed with how much more there was to it, and Collins Entertainment had it all covered from start to finish! There were so many details that we had not considered, like doing a "farewell dance" towards the end of the night. They also offered perspectives that we had not considered, like the benefits of doing wedding party introductions since we had not done programs. Because there is a team of DJs and they take incredible notes, it also means that there is a seamless transition in case of any emergencies. Our original DJ had a family medical emergency, but his colleague was able to step in without missing a beat (pun intended). We highly recommend!

Since then, the band has performed at hundreds and hundreds of concerts, weddings, festivals, parties, kids birthday parties, and various other kinds of family oriented events. We have an extensive songlist of over 300 songs, drawing from all styles of music, including traditional folk/bluegrass, as well as classic rock, pop, jazz and country. The band has also released 3 full length albums of original music, ranging from progressive bluegrass/newgrass instrumentals to goofy kids songs.

Awarded Best of Zola
All of our guests commented that the music at our wedding was lovely and really tied the whole event together. Our venue did not allow DJ's or amplified sound and Astrograss had no problem playing everything acoustically. They were really great communicating before our event. They learned 5 songs at our request and let us pick plenty others for them to play from their extensive repertoire. They even coordinated with our friend (who is a singer) who wanted to sing something for us which ended up being one of the highlights of the night.

Amos Rose is a world traveling multi-instrumentalist who also sings and plays lead Telecaster guitar, and was recently featured by Jazz at Lincoln Center.

Drummer Jon Wert is a sought-after musician, collaborating with a wide variety of artists in the jazz, rock, pop production shows and songwriter worlds.

We booked Mama Juke for our 9/24/2022 wedding and they did not disappoint. I can’t say I wasn’t nervous, as they didn’t have any reviews posted yet, but Jon was very helpful in addressing all our concerns and they kept our guests entertained and dancing all night long! They learned our first dance song- Golden Hour by Kacey Musgraves and put their own flair to it, which we loved. They are such a fun mix of rock, jazz, bluegrass, country and played a good mix of songs for all ages. I would also recommend listening to some of their original songs and including them in your day, my husband and I were so happy we did. :) I want to have another wedding just so we can have them play again!

S Glastonbury, CT

  • Starts at $2,200
  • Serves Essex, CT

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! :)

The Hook Club team is THE BEST to work with. They are reliable, reasonable, fun, helpful, and most importantly, incredibly talented. We had a truly wonderful time working with Dan who runs the band (and also happens to be an incredibly talented musician). He was super flexible as we changed our wedding plans due to COVID, came to our wedding venue to make sure they could make the best use of the space and maximize acoustic quality, and had great suggestions. Dan also took the time to speak with our wedding planner and answer multiple questions, worked well with other vendors, and went above and beyond to make the night awesome (he even stayed to emcee the event as a surprise to us!) Furthermore, all of the venues we looked at knew The Hook Club said "you're in great hands with regards to acoustics--they really know their stuff." I cannot recommend this band enough.

Not only were my husband and I looking for a particular playlist for our wedding after party, but we were really looking for someone to “get” our style, the vibe, and energy we were going for. My husband being into indie rock and myself being into Y2K abs 90s hits, we had quite the eclectic playlist set. Justin delivered with flying colors and even scheduled multiple phone calls with us to ensure we had the after party playlist of our dreams! He had us complete a questionnaire and then went to work and created a masterpiece play set! He embraced the night, had dancers on the floor until 3:00AM and all around crushed it!

Don't Stop the Party was the best choice we could have made for DJ and photo booth services. DJ Koko was great keeping everyone entertained and in party mode. The photo booth was a great hit with our guests. Even two weeks after our wedding, they are still talking about it. The album from the photo booth arrived and it was so amazing reliving everyone's fun photos. Communication was on point as well!

We hired Arthur to DJ our September 2023 wedding, and I can’t recommend him enough! He was very professional and organized and it made planning really easy and stress-free! He did such a great job gauging the crowd and played a variety of different music – all generations loved! I had a few specific song requests including some traditional Italian songs that he made sure to include. Guests were on the dance floor all night! I got so many comments during and after the wedding on how much fun guests had. The photobooth was also such a hit! I loved being able to get a copy of all the photos to look at with my husband after! He also included a free video reel of the wedding - it was such a nice touch! My husband and I love watching it !

I have been in the business for over 40 years. My passion for music helps me provide my clients the best experience possible. Pricing that is affordable is important to me. As one client posted in a review , "He cares more about the people, than the money" I give every client my very best in my service. With so many having ceremonies in one location and a reception in an other, I am capable of providing music for both locations. My clients wishes come first, from special moments to a dvd choreographed to your special music projected while you take the dance floor for that special First Dance. These are just some of the service provided.

Very easy to talk with, great communication. He did an awesome job at our wedding in October! Gerry helped make sure other vendors were on the same page for a smooth timeline and everyone had an amazing time at the reception. Seriously worth every penny, and his prices are more than reasonable.

From their App that allowed me to add and remove song options and make specific notes so anything I wanted in a very specific way was easy and clear. After that, our team took creative control and when I tell you my guests did not sit down for even a second!! Dinner was being served and they had to make an announcement for everyone to sit. So glad we went with them and they truly made our wedding the BEST NIGHT EVER!

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!!
