Mikey offline

5.0

New Orleans, LA
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,000

Mikey offline is a dj of the world but was born and raised in New Orleans, LA. As his hour-long mix shows, he has never been able to limit himself to one genre. This show includes some fun mixes, blends, music that he's been personally listening to lately, and of course representation of where he's from.

We were blown away by how good Mikey was, and I'd recommend him to anyone. A friend of a friend recommended Mikey, they said they wanted him but he wasn't available on their wedding day. So we looked him up on Soundcloud, reached out to hear about his process, and decided to book. I could not be happier with that decision. Mikey was easy to work with, reasonably priced, and most importantly, a killer DJ. He went out of the way to get our vibe, and on the day of the wedding, he kept the dance floor full for the whole reception. My cousins kept on telling me he was the best wedding DJ they'd ever seen, and even the photographer and wedding planner came up to me to ask "where did you find this guy!" Honestly, our wedding was perfect, and I give Mikey a ton of credit for making that happen.

Donald and Keiko were wonderful to work with throughout the entire process. I wanted to gift my niece a live performance during her wedding. They played before the ceremony, during the ceremony, and for the cocktail hour. Guests raved about the performance. We started late due to extenuating circumstances. Keiko and Donald were patient and were willing to adjust without fuss or hesitation. I am looking for other opportunities to book them again. They are highly, highly recommended. You won't be disappointed—Professional, Talented, and Overall Kind People. Keiko answered my many questions. They arrived at the venue early and were prepared. They exceeded my expectations. I will definitely use them again.

DJ Ronnie Roux

Metairie, LA
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,000
  • Serves New Orleans, LA

Experience is everything when it comes to picking a DJ for your event. Having more than 22 years experience creating parties, let’s make your party a good one. Starting out at the world famous Cat’s Meow on Bourbon Street in 1995, I learned to play music for a wide variety of age groups. After working several years at Cat’s Meow, I transferred to Generations Hall in the Warehouse District. I have been a DJ there for the last 17 years providing music for every type of event imaginable. Outside of playing events at Generations Hall, I work with corporate event planners, brides and grooms, high schools, and charities.

I hired Ronnie for my wedding last year, and he was an excellent DJ! He worked with us every step of the way: he made sure to play songs I recommend, but also helped make suggestions to keep the party going! He arrived at the location on time, and this is important because the day of the wedding was hectic and overwhelming!

Felix & Fingers was the best addition to my wedding! We had a BLAST. It’s the best mix between a live band and sing along karaoke (but you don’t want your uncle to get the mic, you know?). They did beautiful ceremony music, incredible sax jazz during cocktail hour to keep it classy. Then, they kept everyone engaged and entertained for the reception, from my aunt in a walker to my college friends twerking. We danced the night away but lost our voices from screaming along with the songs too. 10/10 you can’t go wrong with dueling pianos - DJs and wedding bands are out, Felix & Fingers is IN!

TLDR - The Hook Club KILLED IT! Planning a wedding is hard and planning a wedding during a pandemic is near impossible - Dan and The Hook Club made that process so much easier! Not only was Dan a pleasure to work with when we had to reschedule, but was always available to answer questions throughout the entire planning process. It was awesome to be able to see the band play live at several of their showcases leading up to our wedding (pre-pandemic) and when it came to the day of they did NOT disappoint. Everyone was amazing from L'Marco , Bree, Dan - to the rest of the band who's names I wish I knew - extra shout out to the sax player (because who doesn't love a good sax moment). The band did an amazing job curating the perfect playlist that covered all genres and kicked off with an awesome hora which was a requirement for my family. You can tell how much THC loves what they do and it shows when they are right in the middle of a dance circle singing with the guests or over at the bar singing on a handheld mic getting even more guests back onto the dance floor. Highlight of my night was doing the electric slide (to a song I can't remember, but was into) with about half the band on the middle of the dance floor without any planning whatsoever. Everyone keeps raving about the band and I can't wait to see them again soon at friends weddings or at a future showcase. Book THC and you won't regret it!

Matt went above and beyond to make our wedding exactly what we hoped for and then some! From the start, he was personable and made an effort to get to know us as a couple and what our guests might look for, rather than making assumptions or working off a "templated plan." He was nonjudgmental and offered creative suggestions/solutions on matters we didn't think of or didn't know enough about. At the same time, he took into account every tiny/unusual request or detail we asked for. Countless guests commented on how skilled he was at reading the room and keeping the energy high all night... guests who otherwise don't dance or party at weddings were on the dance floor all night thanks to Matt! While we only hired him as a DJ, from what I understand he has since added on coordinator services, and he showcased those skills as well! He was more than just a DJ who shows up to play songs- he worked seamlessly with our other vendors to ensure a smooth flow. He kept us on schedule, moving things along just as we had imagined, while staying flexible with our whims throughout the night. He even checked in to make sure we had drinks, food, etc. as festivities went along. He is truly dedicated to his role, and his passion shines through, making our day even better than we could have ever imagined!

Kelton was wonderful to work with from start to finish. He stuck with us even when we had to postpone our wedding for two years due to the pandemic, so we really appreciated his commitment to working with us. Kelton has a great system for figuring out your taste, priorities, and run of show. He set up very quickly at our venue, which was key given we were running on a tight schedule, and he managed to produce nice sound in a very cavernous space (no idea how!). He kept us running on time and made all transitions seamless. His music perfectly matched the vibe we wanted, starting with a relaxed cocktail hour and dinner, and gradually increasing the tempo into a full-scale dance party as the night went on. And our friends and family had an absolute blast! He had everyone from 20 somethings to family in their 60s and 70s dancing until the very end! We got so many positive messages the next day, including one person who described our DJ as being "on fleek."

If you're looking for a violinist or a guitar player Better Half truly is for you. We were so thrilled and couldn't have picked better. Thank you Better Half!

Wild Faith (Leonardo Armijo)

5.0

Boulder, CO
  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $1,888
  • Serves New Orleans, LA for additional fees

"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.

We are an experienced and interactive band based out of Atlanta, Georgia.

Our song list spans a wide range of genres and eras, so you can pick the tunes that mean the most to you.

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!

Jim and his team were so kind and understanding through the whole thing. Wayne the DJ made the night so much fun, everyone had an awesome time! I was told "one of the best weddings I've ever been to" so that right there says a lot. By far the best outcome I could have asked for. Jerome our photographer was super cool chill relaxed and made us feel that way too taking photos in front of everyone. Dylan our videographer was the same way cool and chill. They kept us laughing and smiling throughout the night! They all made the day go by pretty smooth, fun and relaxed. The communication between everyone at Direct Entertainment was 5 stars hands down. Oh and then I got a little snippet of the night from Wayne and that was just icing on the cake. I wasn't expecting any footage at all for a few months, but even if it was just a clip. Made my day.

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!!
