I recently had the pleasure of booking Cello Joe to perform at my wedding and what a special experience it was!!! Joey is a true professional on all levels! From start to finish, communication was effortless and always on point. He even assisted us with setting up and dialing in the sound system. Now on to the important stuff... Cello Joe's performance bridged the spectrum of family and friends present for our wedding. It was such a magical experience seeing so many loved ones getting down to veggie maniac, bike girl and so much love :). Cello Joe delivered a performance that brought joy and smiles to everyone's experience. Overall I rate our experience 11/11. It was an honor to have such a talented musician perform and such a fun character to hang out with the rest of the event. Cello Joe's set was the musical highlight of our wedding. We're extraordinarily grateful that Cello Joe made the trip up to Portland and very much look forward to seeing this musical genius again in the near future!

Mark Addington Events

5.0

Mountain House, CA
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,600
  • Serves Salinas, CA

I’m Mark Addington, owner, founder, emcee, DJ, public speaker, and most importantly…creative at heart. I started my DJ career over 20 years ago for fun and fell in love with it along the way. My goal is to make this choice a simple, informed and fun part of the wedding process. I’m here to communicate and plan pre-wedding so you and your guests can leave it all on the dancefloor the day of the wedding.

We were first introduced to Mark via word of mouth and we are so happy to have stuck with this decision. He was extremely attentive, fun, and professional throughout the entire process leading to our event. During our preparation, we communicated with Mark a few times over email, phone and zoom to share our ideas and refine details. He is extremely positive and was open to our suggestions. Whether it was playing music related to movie soundtracks, pop culture, or K-pop, he was more than willing to have fun with us. His attention to detail also did not go unnoticed as he would also make sure that he finds the specific versions of songs that you request. He was also extremely helpful with adjusting music as well. For example, we wanted to cut a section out and slow down our first dance song. He was able to do this for us perfectly and also helped provide a copy of the file for us to practice. These may be small details but were important to us. Ultimately, you cannot go wrong with working with Mark. He was absolutely amazing at what he does and will do everything that he can to make your dream event come true! Thank you, Mark. We are so happy to have worked with you.

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.

We saw Golden Bell perform at a wedding in Calistoga and immediately knew we HAD to have them for our own wedding in Lake Tahoe! They were an absolute HIT with our guests! Our meetings leading up to the wedding were very informative and Chris has such a calming presence throughout the planning process. Wedding day was seamless, Golden Bell took care of microphones for us and our officiant and the sound quality for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and the reception was perfect. Once the reception dancing started, Golden Bell read the crowd so well - playing a variety to please all age groups and coming down into the crowd with the saxophone and trombone! The drummer was amazing too! Such a talented group! All the pros of a DJ and a live band combined into one super fun group. 10/10 would recommend.

These guys were amazing. My husband, dad and many other people who attended the wedding and are all musicians were so impressed and guests in general keep messaging me saying how great they were! Cannot recommend them enough. I was so excited too because they ended up playing a Sammy Rae song off the playlist I sent them (one of my favorite artists). We had a few of them play our ceremony too and as soon as heard them play something by the Beatles I immediately started tearing up. Get these guys for your wedding or event! *Original review posted on theknot.com https://www.theknot.com/marketplace/funk-almighty-chicago-il-2062080

The whole team, from the lead singers to the sound and light techs, was amazing to work with. Every step of the way they were courteous, on top of the details, and available to hop on a Zoom or respond to an email with our venue and our wedding planner. They took it upon themselves to make sure power and sound were all taken care of *and* they even tried to make sure we had tenting for the outdoor wedding (it wasn't even their job) just to take a load off of our plate. I'd hire this band again and again, and, if they'll do it for our 5 or 10 year wedding anniversary. Thanks!

When good isn’t good enough and your worst fear is getting that cheesy DJ that your guests don’t like or won’t remember, Sounds Elevated is here to help!

This review for Zeb (and the whole Sounds Elevated Team) is long overdue. Zeb is not only an incredible musician in his own right but plays the role of musical conductor with equal panache. A true “Jack of All Trades.” Some of the many hats he wore for our wedding include: -He played solo guitar for our ceremony -Lined up a jazz quartet for the happy hour -Setup the party lighting (party but classy) for the reception -Setup a photo booth for guests to take fun photos (a big hit btw) -DJ’d with a live accompaniment combo for the reception - stayed up way later than we asked him to, and DJ our afterparty (which was a VERY different vibe than the reception). He was hustling for easily 10 hours straight. And every single element he contributed to the festivities was top tier. My older cousin, a professional musician for many years, was blown away by the level of talent. It’s been almost two years since the wedding and we still get compliments about the entertainment. He and his team went above and beyond. Easily the best “value” for anything we spent money on for the wedding. I strongly recommend meeting with Zeb and gearing his philosophy/approach to weddings/events.

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

The musicians were excellent, they played together as a solid unit, they did a fantastic job and I received many compliments about them throughout the night and questions about how I found them! Not only was the music wonderful, but the band members were also courteous, kind, and professional. The company was easy to work with.

Let's get to the point, shall we? There were so many involved in the planning process that we didn't know where to start. I skip to looking for our DJ process. I thought it would be easygoing but there are so many DJs to choose from. I asked a friend if he knew anyone and had mentioned of a wedding out in Redwood City where Taj had the crowd going. So we met with Taj and was a complete Godsend. Not only was he professional, he made my wife and I chuckle as he is a humorous person in good fashion. He also gave us a ton of ideas that made so much sense that we did not think about ourselves. We hired him on the spot and thanked him for his time. He was early and on time with his wonderful wife. He had already unloaded and was waiting on the staff! Fast forward to the reception, we had a wonderful time, my grandparents never dance and they outlasted almost everybody on the dancefloor! Wedding was a success, my wife and her guests were happy. Happy wife, happy life indeed! Thanks to Taj.

Stuck in traffic, couldn't find parking, now late to our first meeting, I was ready to give up and tell Christie and my now husband to go on without me. Without skipping a beat, Christie suggested I find a place to pull over and the two would join me in my car to have our meeting - she wasn't phased one bit! She was chipper as can be and pivoted so easily to accommodate us. I knew right then that we had to bring her on as our wedding DJ! We had a lot of stereotypical things wedding DJs do that we didn't want, and she understood and honored that. We danced the night away!

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.

Weddings for me are the most rewarding events we play. I take very seriously the fact that the couple has entrusted us to be a part of the biggest day of their lives and there is nothing better than hearing the entertainment was the highlight of the reception. From allowing the couple to choose exactly what they want to hear from our song list to allowing them or their party goers to be a part of the show, my goal is to work with them to make sure the band exceeds their expectations. This approach has allowed the 80'z All-Stars and MSE to flourish for 20+ years.

This is an incredible band to work with and I highly recommend them. This is a talented group of musicians that can fill a dance floor. The energy level is fantastic and they know how to get the crowd moving. They know how to read a crowd and to keep the party going.

There is a reason why even after being in business since 2009, Jhakaas Entertainment has seen continuous success through our professional client focused approach leading to 5-Star Reviews on Yelp.

We loved having Mehul DJ our wedding! We hired Mehul for both our sangeet and our wedding ceremony / reception. He was very organized and provided suggestions and templates to make sure everyone was clear on what songs should be played at which moments (first dance, cake cutting, entrances, etc.). He did a great job of incorporating songs we / our parents had requested and did a great job of balancing between newer music and songs that got our parent's friends on the dance floor too! He also made sure to find us at the end of our Sangeet and asked if we were happy with the music / if there was anything he could improve on before the wedding the next day - he did great but really appreciated that he did this to make sure we were happy! All of our guests loved it and we had a full dance floor all night, both nights!

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 amazing team at Divina Strings are a high energy and exciting group of performers that are a great fit for upscale clients looking for boutique wedding and event musicians. Highly recommend.

Kevin has been able to play for us on multiple occasions and each time he has knocked it out of the park, he played "Perfect - Ed Sheeran" when we got married at the San Diego Courthouse as a surprise for us. It was a fantastic performance and completely unexpected. He did a great job setting up and "hiding" away until it was the right time to come out. Then for our reception, Kevin played "Can't Help Falling in Love - Elvis" while the bride walked down the aisle and nailed it! He is extremely professional and worked with us to make sure that his performance matched our vision. He also played during cocktail hour and did a great job with our guests and playing amazing music!

I met the The Lindsley Brothers while they were playing at a winery in Santa Barbara and my friends and I loved their set so much I begged them to travel to my wedding and play at our welcome dinner. They agreed and absolutely made the event. They have such a great set and really great vibe. They were so easy to work with and made sure they played music that we liked. I had multiple friends ask me for their contact information in the last couple of years to play at their weddings/events.
