If I could give them 10 million stars I would. Justin was so incredibly easy to work with, beyond personable, knowledgeable and organized. Even our venue was impressed with his scheduling and timelines! I was a last-minute bride, felt so discouraged with finding the *right* DJ and Justin swooped in and made it happen. (I may or may not have had about a month until my wedding date...yikes to me) Justin slayed our ceremony sound. He had my guests dancing all night with a stellar mix of music and stayed an extra hour to keep the party going. Music is such a huge part of our lives, and our story, and Justin understood the assignment! Thank you for making my wedding that much more amazing, Justin!! (Seriously, book them!)

Kelsey was our DJ from GDTE and she absolutely ROCKED the day. I cannot express how easy she made the process before the big day taking diligent notes and caring about every element of creating the vibes we wanted. On the big day, she was early, professional, prepared, and as excited as we were. It felt like she was attending our wedding as a guest. When it came to the music, she was so awesome that one of our guests asked if he could pay for her to stay an extra hour!! She will work hard with you to create the vision of your dreams for your wedding and you can count on her to execute flawlessly.

Ripcord

5.0

Saco, MA
  • Band or Ensemble

Ripcord is comprised of Boston-based musicians who have played together in various cover, wedding and original bands over the past decade. This experience enables the group to consistently deliver a perfect blend of hits from all genres; jazz standards, funk, R&B, soul, top 40, country, classic & modern rock… even that new indie tune you just heard on the radio. Ripcord's diversity is impressive; however, it'll likely be the remarkable accuracy, energy, and feel with which they perform that will blow you away.

Dapper Gents played our ceremony/cocktail hour and they were AMAZING! Highly recommend.

First and foremost, she has the most beautiful and enchanting voice (we heard a sample and were hooked immediately). She was very easy to work with and so helpful throughout the entire process. Lindsay worked with us early on to get an idea of how she would best fit in and what we were looking for in terms of music choices. She provided guidance for the different songs that play during the ceremony and then what type of music she would play at the cocktail hour. We had so many guests come up to us asking about Lindsay and saying how wonderful she was and that she really made the ceremony special. I would recommend her over and over again and we look forward to seeing her at some of the other shows she plays around us! Thank you Lindsay!

Want to set a mellow, thoughtful mood for your ceremony? Or to entertain your guests with lively fiddle music during your cocktail hour?

Jordan has been performing at weddings for over a decade, solo and with bands of varying size to fit your budget.

Awarded Best of Zola
These guys are spectacular! From the time I first spoke with Jordan I knew I had stumbled upon something amazing. He was so easy to arrange everything with and he handled our special requests without issue. They sounded fantastic and went with the flow of the evening - keeping things low key when that was the mood of the room or bringing out more upbeat tunes when people were up and dancing. These guys are so professional, so wonderful to work with, and super super talented. I'm still hearing from guests of the wedding saying how much they loved the music (the wedding was months ago!) and everybody said this group was the classiest wedding ensemble they had ever seen/heard. Do yourself a favor and hire them!

The Spinner Music team are truly the MVPs of our wedding! They did such a great job from the ceremony to the last song and the encore! These guys are true wedding music/MC professionals. DJ was a pleasure to work with from our first call and listened to what we envisioned for the day of the wedding. They did a great job of reading the crowd and playing a mix of the genres we wanted; we also had a live saxophone player hired through spinner and it was such a hit. The entire evening with them was perfect. We used Niko for our video services and we are dying to see the final product, we already know its going to be amazing! We also used them for our photo booth, and it was such a hit!! Guests were torn between the photo booth and the dance floor!! Only regret was not getting enough pics in the photo booth! We had a couple last minute changes and requests that they were able to handle with ease. Such a fun vendor to work with!

We had Emmet and Naomi for our indoor December wedding, the venue was a log cabin style lodge. They were a perfect match and we were so glad we chose them. They learned one of our favorite songs for the opening to our ceremony, playing a beautiful instrumental version of it. Our guests loved the music, that it was accessible for everyone, young and old alike. We had toddlers dancing in front of the band, but the guests seated closest to the band during dinner could still carry on a conversation easily. A lot of people really appreciated this, that they could add ambiance and energy without overpowering you. We especially want to thank them for traveling through the blizzard conditions to be there that weekend. We were hoping for a snowy winter wedding, and we got all the snow we could handle that weekend! The Poor Cousins really helped everything come together for us, and we would absolutely recommend them to anybody!

They played all the songs we wanted at the perfect times and filled the time in between with even more perfect song selections. Julian was so easy to work with and made the day go by smoothly for our other vendors, he even worked with our officiant to do transitional music during the ceremony. He worked so hard with us trying to get a band to fit with the space we had, but ultimately we went with the duet DJ option which is a very cool alternative that we were so happy was available. Julian has a great voice and killed it on the guitar. Unfortunately Christienne was sick on our wedding day but the fill in female vocalist was amazing too.

Where do I even begin? Champagne Casanova absolutely killed it with their performance at our wedding reception. Choosing them as our band was undoubtedly the best decision we made in planning our wedding. Their commitment to making our night special was amazing. Not only did they flawlessly execute every song we requested, but their dedication to their craft showed when they learned multiple new songs just for us. Their rendition of 'Tracey's Mom' was a highlight, renaming the classic 'Stacey's Mom' to honor the bride was a genius move that had everyone laughing and singing with them—it was a massive hit. Champagne Casanova kept the dance floor alive and buzzing with energy for the entire night. They had everyone on their feet, jumping up and down, and singing; the atmosphere they created was electric, and we couldn't have asked for a better soundtrack to our wedding. Their professionalism, talent, and enthusiasm were exceptional. Champagne Casanova made our wedding unforgettable.

They were very professional, safe, and flexible with us planning a wedding during a pandemic. They worked with us as we changed our date and venue and made sure their set-up allowed for safe distancing between them and guests. You have to use them for your wedding or event!

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring Herbert Holler was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Our vision was a longer reception to leave plenty of room for dancing, being together, having fun and really wanted it to be a great time for everyone there, for all ages. HH had everyone dancing at the same time- kids, teenagers, or friends, our parents' friends, and my 89 year old grandmother. He was spot on in reading the room- which wasn't the most straight forward - I asked him to sprinkle some Arabic music in so my Lebanese family could come together over familiar music- all I did was provide him a couple of titles and he ran with the rest. Didn't overdo it, and everybody joined in. It was a dream. HH was professional the whole way through and didn't require tons of collab, and was flexible and quickly responsive. My advice: Hire HH.

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.

My friend hired and coordinated with Luis from lionizing entertainment as a DJ for our engagement party in July. It was our first time meeting him at the party and from the beginning he was professional and personable. He made sure we had the type of music we wanted and kept people dancing. We were so happy with his services so we decided to hire him to DJ our wedding this past weekend as well. We originally had a summer wedding planned and decided to move it up sooner. Luis was so flexible and understanding when we reached out about the date change and we were still able to work with him for our new date. Throughout the planning process Luis was super responsive whenever we needed anything and he would check in to make sure we didn’t have any questions and he was more than prepared for our big day. He kept the night running smoothly despite the changes we made to the schedule of events at the last minute. Throughout the night he checked in with us and advocated for everything we needed. Our other vendors came up to us and said how much they loved working with Luis and how easy it was to get along with him. We decided to add a photo booth at the last minute and we are so glad we did because all of our guests were obsessed! Everyone used it all night and we got to keep the high quality photos after. A ton of guests reached out after the fact to say how impressed they were with the Photo Booth and the quality of pictures they received. The Photo Booth was so much of a hit we are renting it for our baby shower coming up in the spring as well.

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

This band is sure to provide thoroughly enjoyable entertainment for guests of all ages and tastes. Whether you are booking a corporate party, festival, nightclub, or wedding event, The MILES Band makes it a fantastic, memorable event.

When someone asks me, “Was it a nice wedding?” I usually rate to see how many people are on the dance floor. And with The Miles Band, there were a lot of empty seats. They played music every one of all ages knew and could dance to. They learned to play my husbands’s mother and son dance and they knew our First Dance song! They took requests and gave us a night I’ll always remember. Weeks after the wedding and I still have people telling me how great the band was and how much fun they had.

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! :)

In order to maintain their excellent rapport with customers, the Aleman family has hand picked the best talent in each region to work for their exclusive boutique company. 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!

The entire All That Events team was truly amazing to work with. From our initial information request all the way up to the day after the wedding and beyond, they were so communicative. Not only did they quickly answer my questions and respond to my requests, but they were so helpful with the planning process, especially when we didn't know what to do. DJ Craig listened to our wants and needs and truly brought the party. Our guests still talk about how great the music was and how fun the photo booth was. I can't recommend them enough.

A seasoned 9pc. ensemble boasting 5 lead vocalists, Hot Mess specializes in Pop, Rock, Soul, Funk, R&B, Top 40 and all of your favorite music from the 60’s to current hits.

If you want an absolutely SPECTACULAR wedding band, look no further. Hot Mess was truly the best decision we made for our wedding. 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.

Hi there! We're just a couple guys (cousins actually) that were born and raised in the Lakes Region of NH. We've been entertaining people at weddings and other functions for years with bands and as DJs. We love making people laugh, smile and just have a great time. We noticed there weren't many DJs in NH that could offer the live music services couples wanted for their ceremony or cocktail hour. That's when we decided to create this business. We wanted to bring a live music feel at DJ prices in a one-stop-shop. To us, there's no better feeling than watching the smiles on the couples' faces. Thanks for looking. :-)

Cuarteto Guataca

5.0

New York, NY
  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Portsmouth, NH 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)!!
