There was a thorough planning document provided which helped us break down the music we wanted to hear into sections of the day. We had a beach ceremony and the equipment that was set up for the ceremony was loud enough for us hear the music and what people were saying on the mic even tho the ocean was really loud. The reception was fun! Vibes were great for cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing. We recommend working w DJ JaronB, thanks for adding so much fun to our event!

Both the musicians and DJ were extremely friendly, taking the time to get to know us as a couple and the types of music we enjoy. As a result, they created an exceptional playlist that made the event unforgettable. The musical instruments were exceptional. The saxophonist joined us on the dance floor and added to the excitement. Every musician was performing at their best, and the DJ played the perfect songs to keep us all moving. I danced all night long! Our guests are still raving about the incredible dance party and the band that made it happen. A heartfelt thank you to Golden Bell!

We originally discovered www.azbestdj.com through a Google search and got those good vibes when we did a 15 minute video chat before we booked. After we booked, Working with our DJ was a breeze—super chill and gave us total confidence in planning our ceremony and reception music to our taste. The wedding dance floor was a hit, and the music was absolutely fantastic. We hit a minor snag at the first 5 or 10 seconds start of the ceremony with the wireless microphone acting up, but our DJ swiftly pulled out a second backup mic. Just 30 seconds into our pastor speaking, our DJ made the mic swap, and everything flowed smoothly. Major props for having that second backup and being on top of things!

We were absolutely thrilled with Funk Almighty at our wedding, especially with their incredible rendition of a Taylor Swift song!!! When we mentioned our love for Taylor Swift, the band went above and beyond and created an entire medley of her hits. This wasn’t just another wedding band playing covers, it became a whole show that added their unique funk twist. I can’t begin express how cool it was to watch our request come to life like that!! Daryl and the team's ability to transform our simple request into such an elaborate and memorable piece was incredible. Easily the highlight of the evening. And it was such a personalized touch that made our special day even more unforgettable. Aside from that working with them was a breeze. The rest of the night was great too but I really can’t overstate how much we appreciate them for going above and beyond with our request. That’s true talent and creativity so we can't recommend them enough for their exceptional service and making our wedding one of a kind! *Original review posted on theknot.com https://www.theknot.com/marketplace/funk-almighty-chicago-il-2062080

Keith was able to deliver excellent sound ,MC services, and a great time during my outdoor wedding a a thunderstorm! I was worried my vendors would leave when we got caught in a rare desert rain storm in Joshua tree. Although, Keith was understandably concerned about his equipment he stuck around a played all of our favorite songs. He has an online portal to input all of you song choices for ceremony and reception but I would recommend scheduling a call after putting in all that information. I unfortunately, waiting to the last minutes to put everything on the portal and I think I could have communicated better on a call or video chat. My wedding day did not go as planned but it was the best day of my life and everyone had a blast! I owe that Keith and the rest of my vendors who stayed in spite of wet clothes and flash flooding.

Then, they kept everyone engaged and entertained for the reception, from my aunt in a walker to my college friends twerking.

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.

DJ Demchuk (Daniel) did an absolutely amazing job during our wedding! The dance floor was bumping all night and we got SO many compliments on how good the music was, including from our older guests. Both the CA team and Daniel himself were super professional, kind, and communicative to work with throughout the planning process and during the night itself. We asked for some edits to our first dance song and Daniel made it happen flawlessly. He also sent us a full track list from the wedding within a few days so we can relive the party over and over. We could not have been happier with how everything turned out, and would recommend this DJ to anyone looking!

Cuarteto Guataca

5.0

New York, NY
  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Monterey, CA for additional fees

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.

I have used Cuarteto Guataca both personally (birthdays, family events) and professionally as a wedding/ event florist and event planner for YEARS. Every time they manage to get everyone on their feet. They are super professional always and extremely easy to work with. Hands down, Josh and his band will always be my first choice for latin entertainment (any entertainment for that matter)!!
