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!

I am a wedding and event planner and have worked with Jackie Gage on multiple occasions. As a planner, there are a few things we always look for in the event professionals we work with: ease of communication, kindness, team players, easy to work with, excel and are passionate about their craft. Jackie checks off all these boxes and much more! Jackie is always warm and welcoming in her communications, it was so easy to plan together. On event days, Jackie is communicative and works seamlessly with our team with the common goal of making sure the day runs smoothly. And her singing music is amazing! Whether it's for ceremony, cocktail hour, or ambient dinner music, it's a total VIBE. I would not hesitate to recommend Jackie to all of our future couples and clients!

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.

DJ P was a great choice to make our wedding reception unforgettable. From the moment we started working with him, we realized it was a partnership as we crafted the music for the night. He was willing and more than able to roll with things as plans changed. The one issue we had is that, partially due to the time constraints of our venue, some of our requested music was cut short or not played at all while other songs continued on for very long. Overall, DJ P did a phenomenal job!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
I first met Aysha as colleagues, and over the years I've worked with her, she has been one of the most capable, meticulous, reliable people I've ever met. When I asked her to play at my ceremony, she brought a whole new level of professionalism to the table. Her incredible wealth of knowledge from all her professional experiences over the years was very apparent, and she was so easy to work with. She guided us through the whole process -- including preparing a setlist for us to vet, figuring out the appropriate schedule / layout / dress code, learning two brand-new pieces (which she transcribed for harp herself after I gave her the original non-harp recordings), and more. Her professionalism extends to her playing, which is only matched by her world-class skill at the harp. For example, unrehearsed things were bound to happen, and she handled them all impeccably. Her harp music was the absolute perfect, elegant, beautiful -- and as an added bonus, stress-free! -- touch to our ceremony, and if I could do it all again, I wouldn't have it any other way.

We contracted with DJ MC Duke (Michael) for two events in April. Each event was about as different from each other as you can get....one being a company appreciation party with only adults and the second being a family festival geared towards kids with 4,000 plus in attendance. Michael was amazing at both. Michael is not just a DJ, we had him MC at both events as well and he did an amazing job at both! Michael created specific material, play lists for each audience and really interacted with the kids at the festival....the kids had a blast. He was entertaining, fun to work with, funny, professional, on time, flexible, and at both venues lived up to our expectations in a HUGE way! I have worked with a lot of DJ's and he is the BEST I have ever worked with all the way around. We will hire him for all of our events from now on.

The "Original" Moonlighters ®

Washington, DC
  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Aptos, CA for additional fees

Since 1990, The Moonlighters ® have been performing throughout the U.S. as one of the country’s best-loved and most authentic Motown and variety dance bands, covering all your Jazz/Blues/Oldies/Motown/Soul/Disco/Funk/Classic Rock/Pop favorites! Just close your eyes and you’ll swear the original artists are performing. But don’t close them for too long or you won’t be able to enjoy their outstanding dance moves and showmanship.

We're quite saddened by their google review, posted even before we had a chance to actually speak with them to clear up several serious inaccuracies. Our band has HUNDREDS of positive online reviews/satisfied wedding clients. And we'll always accept valid criticism. But this one is mostly false and unfair. As Zola does not provide the option for responding to negative reviews, the following are our comments: 1. Since the bride and groom hadn't hired a wedding planner everything was extremely disorganized as we received their timeline just one week prior to the event, but then they changed it twice more, including two days before. Despite asking for our bandleader's phone #, the groom never reached out to discuss any of these details. In other words, we were given minimal direction in regard to all of the last-minute changes. Even on the wedding day itself, our band was asked to set and reset their equipment multiple times because the bride and groom disagreed with the onsite coordinator's floor plan, moving/resetting the bride and groom table as well! 2. According to what the photographer told us, the bride and groom's limo driver was over 90 min. late, shifting the entire timeline and putting them in a bad mood from the very beginning, as noticed by our bandleader at around 5:15pm when he first introduced himself, prior to the band providing either live or recorded music. 3. Regarding the recorded music, it was only lacking for approx. 45 min. as the band discovered the phone battery issue at approx. 7:45pm, during their first break, quickly rectifying the situation by putting the phone on a charger and then continuing with the recorded music outside from approx. 8-10pm. Furthermore, they made up for it by keeping their system running for an extra 30 min., beyond our contracted time of 11pm. And those comments regarding the afterparty are also totally untrue as somebody from the band was manning the system, until a cousin of the bride or groom demanded that he use her playlist instead, and then she responded angrily when he finally turned off the system at 11:30pm. 4. As for the band's sound system, we do acknowledge some 'hum' issues as there was just one electrical outlet provided for the entire band, resulting in 'dirty power' which couldn't be fully corrected. And we deeply regret mispronouncing the various names as most were very unfamiliar and of Indian origin, despite our lining up the wedding party in advance and writing everything down phonetically. 5. Even though some of the client's emails mentioned solo keys during cocktails, we provided a duo, covering an extra 30 min. of recorded music from 4:30-5pm at no extra charge, as requested. While it's standard practice for a band to take a dinner break during an almost six hr. event, this was clearly-specified in our contract as well. And then we performed continuously from 8:30-10pm, including most of the requested songs that we had prepared well in advance. So their comments about seemingly just 'walking off a bus' are completely false and misleading. In other words, our musicians went 'above and beyond' in spite of some very challenging circumstances. 6. Fortunately, we did receive a 'happy reaction' with a crowded dance floor and TONS of compliments from the guests, some requesting pictures w/the band too, while even the bride and groom were singing along and dancing non-stop, which we were VERY happy to see, making their negative review even more surprising though!

David was great from the moment we first called him. He was friendly over the phone, very informative on pricing and exactly what we will get with each package. Periodically up until our wedding, he would reach out and see if we had any questions or concerns. Before the wedding, he gave us a detailed sheet about what music we wanted played, when to play certain music, and it was very customizable. Would highly recommend him for anyone in NorCal looking for a professional, friendly DJ!

Words can’t express how much we loved working with Ana & Jimmy and the entire Amp DJ Band Hybrid. My husband really wanted a band while I really wanted a DJ, Amp DJ band was the perfect mix. We found Ana & Jimmy immediately and were able to schedule a meeting with them the next day. We knew right away that they were right for us. They were extremely attentive and outgoing from the start. They answered all out of questions and addressed concerns we had. We booked them immediately because we didn’t want to miss out on the opportunity to work with them. We met with them several times through our 6 month planning process. They responded immediately to any questions that popped up along the way and even allowed us to make a last minute change the night before. They well exceeded our musical playlist, taking the songs we requested and tailoring the rest of the music to fit the vibe. There was a perfect mix of live songs and an awesome dj set. The amount of compliments my husband & I received about the band far exceeded anything we expected. All of our guests LOVED them (of course as did we). So many people reached out that night or the next day to say how impressed they were with Ana, Jimmy & the whole band. We also had an acoustic guitar player at our cocktail hour which was amazing. If you’re debating getting a band for your wedding because your heart is set on a DJ, seriously look no further than Amp DJ Band hybrid. You will not be disappointed.

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!

Hi! We're Restless Vocal Band - award-winning, high energy, a cappella from the Greater Seattle Area. We're all the fun of a cover band but with voices only. Our set list spans decades of music, from the 1940's through today, and covers a vast amount of genres: Motown, Doowop, pop, rock, jazz, R&B, rap and even a little country.

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot say enough about how happy I am that I hired Restless Voices for our holiday wedding. I have always loved a capella and when we decided to a smallish (40) person at home wedding, I knew I needed something that would be the right size for the venue while still being uplifting and engaging for the crowd that spanned generations. I reached out to Jordyn when we were all still dealing with COVID and they were so accommodating to my questions, worked with me on pricing, offered and helped me figure out sound for the ceremony, and provided DJ services. They were on time, dressed as promised, super flexible (it rained all day), and just all around nice. EVERYONE loved them and people I've never seen dance got up and shook their groove thang. As a side, the week of the wedding I had a family emergency occur in my immediate family and we were contemplating possibly postponing. When I told Jordyn she was so empathetic and supportive and while I'm thrilled we went forward, I can't say enough about how much her response meant. I continue to get calls from people who attended about who they were and have made at least 2 referrals. I am hopeful to have the pleasure of using them again for future parties!

  • Serves Aptos, 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.

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!!

They learned a few special songs for our ceremony and reception and put their own special touch on them to make it really special for us. They looked so glamorous and our friends and family are still telling us how unique they were, and couldn't believe how many languages the singer can sing in! This band is truly special and will elevate your wedding. Thank you Carte Blanche for an unforgettable night!
