Awarded Best of Zola
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!)

Murray Hill Talent

5.0

Malden, MA
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,000

Whether you’re looking for a band, DJ, photo booth, ceremony or cocktail musicians, or uplighting for your wedding in Boston, Cape Cod, Newport, RI, or anywhere else in New England, we’ve got you covered. We’ve been doing this for over 20 years, and our bands and DJs have rocked thousands of weddings and parties, so we have the experience of seeing every scenario imaginable. But we also realize that every wedding is different, and that’s why our bands and DJs never take a ‘cookie cutter’ approach.

Tom and David were THE BEST!!!! Tom Pendergast played the guitar for our ceremony and cocktail hour and not only could he play all the songs I was looking for during the ceremony (Lover by Taylor Swift was PERFECT), but he also absolutely rocked the garden party wedding theme during the cocktail hour with his covers. All of our guests said he was amazing! David Landeta was our DJ for our reception and he CRUSHED it! He spent so much time leading up to the big day working with me on having the perfect music for dancing, for days after the event our friends were texting us saying how great he was!

Redline

5.0

Malden, MA
  • Musician

We can all agree that there’s something special about a live band that plays all your favorite songs. That’s Redline. We are that perfectly classic, polished, professional band that is also young, fresh, hip, with an energetic vibe that makes you want to stop the clock and dance all night! That’s Redline.

If you’re thinking about booking Redline for your wedding or, honestly, for any other event, just do it. You don’t need to keep reading; book them. If you need some more convincing, read on. In late 2021 my fiancé and I were looking for a band to play our wedding in December, 2022. Having a great, fun band was crucial to us. We came across Redline both via Instagram and via the Murray Hill talent website and we had a good feeling about them. We reached out via Murray Hill and immediately heard back from Ken. Ken was incredibly friendly in his response and sent over detail on Redline along with other bands that could potentially play for us in case we weren’t locked in on Redline. He also sent along the information for add-ons, including but not limited to uplighting, photo booths, and additional band members (you have to at least consider having someone walking around ripping the saxophone). We ended up booking Redline and the process was totally seamless; again, Ken was super helpful the whole time. We booked the cocktail duo, an 8-piece band including saxophone for the reception, and uplighting. Easy! Throughout the year, Ken was always available to field questions and would offer to have a call if it would be easier. When you’re in the middle of every other aspect of wedding planning, having someone like Ken who is organized, kind, and thoughtful makes things a LOT easier, especially if the band is important to you. All right, let’s fast forward to wedding week. We had sent over a worksheet to Ken earlier with a general outline of the night. Entrance songs, first dance song, etc. along with whether there would be a bouquet toss, cake cutting, etc. It was very detailed which will actually help you visualize how the reception will go. We walked through this with Ken step by step and worked with him to adjust accordingly. Again, with the wedding looming, this was actually a calming experience because of the confidence we had in Ken. The day of the wedding, I didn’t see Ken and the other band members until the cocktail hour because, well, you know, I was getting married. The cocktail hour duo was incredible. They set such a good vibe for the rest of the night and played a cool mix of songs. Compliments were already flowing from the guests. After the cocktail hour, Ken came to where the wedding party was getting ready for intros while guests filed into the ballroom. This was another instance of what you’re getting with Ken and the Redline crew; he worked with the wedding coordinator to get us lined up and ready, get us pumped up, and get us moving. Reception time. From the first dance I had with my now wife, to the last dance of the night (Tiny Dancer- Elton John. Yes, you were curious and yes, it was awesome) everything was perfect. The band was SO good and SO energetic. The mix of songs they played was incredible and this was a wedding where the dance floor was PACKED THE WHOLE TIME with people dancing. It was SO much fun and we still have guests complimenting how great Redline was. Following the wedding weekend, Ken reached out to us with a personalized and heartfelt note about how good of a time the band had and our overall experience together planning over the course of the year. It was just the cherry on top to what was such a wonderful experience. In summary, book Redline, just please don’t book them on the same date as whatever next big event comes my way because I want them to be there to party.

Lindsay Straw: Singer & Acoustic Guitarist

4.9

Somerville, MA
  • Solo performer
  • Starts at $375

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 a highlight of our wedding reception. She is very talented and can play many different types of music. Our wedding was held at a camp in central Massachusetts and we wanted a folk acoustic feel, which she can play perfectly. Lindsay learned our favorite song for our first dance, and had everyone in tears for when we danced with our dads. She was so helpful in recommending songs for specific moments of our wedding and very accommodating and flexible when setting timelines for our day. From the beginning Lindsay was very professional and quick to respond to emails. One thing we were most impressed with was her ability to get to know us and what we wanted for music on our wedding day. She played a good balance of crowd favorites and their original songs, which gave our reception a unique and personal touch. They were naturals at feeling out the vibe of our venue/guests and setting the tone that we wanted. Lindsay was a perfect fit for our reception and we are so happy to have booked her. The music was unique and loved by all of our guests. People were up dancing and sitting, enjoying the lovely music. As a same-sex couple, Lindsay and Jordan were a safe and comfortable option for us.

Shelley played the song that I walked down the aisle to, it is called “when Ginny kissed Harry”- a beautiful ballad from my favorite movie “Harry Potter”. This was incredibly special and romantic to me and Shelley could not have done a more beautiful job. Listening to it brought tears to my eyes. She was excellent and easy to work with. I’ll remember that aspect of my wedding forever. Thank you Shelley.

Awarded Best of Zola
Wow, wow, wow. The 1999 was recommended to us by our friends who saw them at a bar in Newport, RI. When we contacted them, they set up a private and intimate showcase where we got to sit down with the whole band and their DJ and ask a million questions. They also played a mini set and took our requests LIVE on the spot -- that blew us away. When it came time to our actual wedding, they were so polished, warm, friendly but most importantly energetic and fun. We had a wide range of ages at our wedding from kids under 12 to our great grandparents over 90 -- and all of them raved about how great they were. They were able to play our first dance live which made for a really special moment for my wife and me. Couldn't recommend them enough to the next couple. They are an absolute blast!
