The Sulls

5.0

East Haven, CT
  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $7,950
  • Serves East Hartford, CT

The Sulls are a tight knit network of friends who provide music for wedding couples across the northeast. Their award winning live show and musicianship is perfect for wedding couples who are hard pressed to find a wedding band that suits them.

The Sulls were absolutely amazing to work with in every way. Communication and planning for our big day with them was seamless and easy. My husband plays in a wedding band and is a musician so having live music at our wedding was a must. They did not disappoint. They sounded amazing, played great songs and were the talk of the wedding! Our guests and us loved them so much! I would recommend them to everyone!

Whenever I find out I'm working a wedding with Collins Entertainment I get excited! Jim and his team always bring the party and are so great to work with vendor to vendor! Plus, he takes great care of his couples (which not all DJs do) making sure they've got great music, a charismatic emcee, and that ALL the guests at the wedding have something to get up on the dancefloor for.

Butch Gray, Disc Jockey/Entertainer, LLC

5.0

S Glastonbury, CT
  • DJ
  • Starts at $2,200

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! :)

Awarded Best of Zola
First off we planned our wedding in about two weeks, and when we originally began we hadn’t thought twice about having music until my husbands mother gave us the suggestion. We are super low key people and were unsure if a musician would fit the vibe, but when we found Austin we knew right away he was the perfect addition to our little elopement / micro wedding. He was so kind and flexible and easy to reach. He made us so comfortable. We got to choose our own set of songs and when they would be played, and let me tell you it made the day even more magical. Hearing Moon River while we read our vows to each other absolutely melted my heart and made me cry even harder than I already was! Thank you l, Austin, for being a part of our day. I hope we can work with you again one day!!

Mercier Music Weddings

5.0

Mapleville, RI
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves East Hartford, CT

My philosophy for music is, "You bring the dancers and I'll bring the music".  I'll take your requests and my years of experience and turn your wedding into something your guests will never forget.  In order to play the right song at the right time, it's all about observation and knowing your crowd.  As I am selecting and mixing songs, I am attentive to everyone's reaction. Years of performing gives me an understanding of action and reaction... an easier way to put it is, I know how to rock the socks off your wedding!

My husband and I are avid wedding go-ers, so our expectations are always high. Know what we look forward to at each of these weddings? The DJ keeping us on the dance floor all night. The one where you’re at the bar ordering a drink and a song comes on and you run to the dance floor to bust it down. Well, Shane did just that PLUS some… four years ago, we met Shane at a Starbucks and it was “love at first song request” lol! We COVID eloped in 2020 and had our big vow ceremony on 10/1/22, so finally having Shane do his thing at our wedding was nothing short of amazing! He ensured all of my song requests, don’t-play requests & everything in between was played. He also managed to catch some sweet highlight video footage of some super memorable moments throughout the day. He came and visited me where I waited before the ceremony began and made me feel so comfortable and excited, some DJs don’t even come from behind their booths at a wedding. Shane is no longer just someone who worked at my wedding, but he’s now family. The guy dealt with all the craziness and partying from my friends and family that night and I couldn’t be any happier as to how everything went on our big day! I’m telling you, you won’t regret hiring Shane Mercier as your wedding DJ!

Lindsay Straw: Singer & Acoustic Guitarist

4.9

Somerville, MA
  • Solo performer
  • Starts at $375
  • Serves East Hartford, CT

Mixing evocative Celtic songs with upbeat Americana folk and acoustic covers, Lindsay Straw delivers a soundtrack in a warm alto voice with intricate guitar and Irish bouzouki accompaniment. With over 250 weddings under her belt, she loves working with couples to provide the perfect folky playlist tailored to their tastes and needs. She provides her own sound gear and can accommodate new song requests. She's open to weddings all over New England.

Lindsay was beyond amazing, I can't say enough nice things about her and the special touch she brought to our wedding. Lindsay played during our ceremony and cocktail hour. 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!

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!

Mama Juke

5.0

Brooklyn, NY
  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves East Hartford, CT

Mama Juke is a gumbo of New Orleans influenced blues, blue-eyed soul, funk, and folk. Actor/singer Elijah Bridges brings elements of bluegrass and rag with his soulful harmonica, acoustic guitar, and voice. Amos Rose is a world traveling multi-instrumentalist who also sings and plays lead Telecaster guitar, and was recently featured by Jazz at Lincoln Center. Brendan O’Grady is an in-demand session musician and fixture on the greater New York scene since his roots growing up in Yonkers. Drummer Jon Wert is a sought-after musician, collaborating with a wide variety of artists in the jazz, rock, pop production shows and songwriter worlds.

We booked Mama Juke for our 9/24/2022 wedding and they did not disappoint. I can’t say I wasn’t nervous, as they didn’t have any reviews posted yet, but Jon was very helpful in addressing all our concerns and they kept our guests entertained and dancing all night long! They learned our first dance song- Golden Hour by Kacey Musgraves and put their own flair to it, which we loved. They are such a fun mix of rock, jazz, bluegrass, country and played a good mix of songs for all ages. I would also recommend listening to some of their original songs and including them in your day, my husband and I were so happy we did. :) I want to have another wedding just so we can have them play again!
