Awarded Best of Zola
10/10 - Highly Recommend - even a MUST HAVE at your wedding! If you want to have the most fun wedding, with the BEST music of all time - hire The Hook Club for your wedding. I have two experiences with The Hook Club - the first was when I was a guest at a wedding in the Hamptons, my best friend got married and they played the best music, the wedding was high energy, happy and all the guests were on the dance floor the entire night! After seeing them live, I reached out to hire them for my wedding in Manhattan (at the NYAC right on Central Park South). I was so impressed by how pleasant and organized Jesse Feathersone and Dan Vernam were to work with. They are true professionals, they know what they are doing and they even supported me on how the wedding reception should flow. They made the preparation process so easy for me, through it I never had to worry about the band logistics because Jesse and Dan gave me the utmost confidence. They have a massive library of songs to choose from and they even learned special songs for the dances (first, mother/son and father/daughter) and special songs to play for us throughout the night - that kind of custom experience is so unusual with wedding bands - I couldn't believe how easy and positive the Hook Club handled these special requests. Every single guest at my wedding could not stop talking about how amazing the band was during and after the fact. My guests were on the dance floor singing and dancing and interacting with them all night. I can't emphasize enough how talented this group is - not just as talented musicians but as talented business people. If you are looking for a stress free experience and a truly talented one of a kind wedding band - HIRE THE HOOK CLUB!!

Awarded Best of Zola
If there’s one thing you should take away from this review, it is this - You should DEFINITELY hire Herbert Holler to DJ your wedding! From the very first phone call, it was obvious that he is someone who loves his job. He has an extensive knowledge and love of music means no matter what you want the soundtrack of your wedding or event to be, he’s got you and your guests of ALL ages covered. He was communicative, easy to work with, clearly invested in making sure we had a great time at our wedding, and that everything ran as smoothly as possible. In fact, at one point, he noticed from behind the booth that we were one man short for lifting someone up in the chair during our extensive Hora. So what did he do? He put his headphones down, ran onto the dance floor, and kept the party going! As a musician and music lover myself, it was hard to trust someone else with the evening’s setlist, but we are so glad we did. He was super keyed into the dance floor, and read the crowd like an expert, always knowing exactly what song to serve up. We danced our aes off and could not have had a better evening. We even rented one of his lighting packages, which he set up to perfection. Herbert, thank you for helping us with our live performances, and for giving us such an incredibly memorable night!!

I am able to play a variety of different music genres (top 100 hits, music from Bridgerton, hip hop, R&B, EDM, rock, big band, & classical) and can perform on my electric violin with your DJ for your reception. I am able to provide my own Bose sound system which can be battery-operated for outdoor areas."

Kathryn is my GO TO live musician for all of my couples. She's a super talented violinist and an absolute dream to work with. So accomodating, professional, organized, and kind. It's so much fun to see the guests enjoy her music - especially when she plays more modern music that people aren't typically used to hearing on the violin. She's the perfect fit for a sweet and romantic ceremony followed by a lively and upbeat cocktail hour. She's even played full receptions at some of my events! I highly recommend working with Kathryn!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Luis and Lionizing Entertainment! From the start of Cocktail Hour to the last dance, our wedding reception was an absolute dream, and we owe so much of that to our incredible DJ. Let me start by saying that finding the right DJ for our big day was a high priority. We searched for quite some time to find the right fit, and we truly struck gold when we found Luis! From our initial consultation to the final song of the night, Luis was an absolute professional. He took the time to understand our music preferences, our unique spacing, and the vibe we wanted for our reception. He even helped us craft the perfect playlist for the evening. During the reception, Luis did a great job of reading the crowd. He knew exactly when to slow things down and when to ramp up, keeping everyone on the dance floor and their energy high throughout the night. Beyond his impeccable musical talents, Luis was also a fantastic MC. He kept the flow of the evening smooth through any last-minute adjustments. In addition to his professionalism and skill, Luis brought an infectious enthusiasm to our reception that was truly contagious. It was clear that they were not just there to do a job, but to ensure that we had the time of our lives, and they succeeded beyond our wildest dreams! The morning of the wedding I had let Luis know that I had forgotten our gift for our Anniversary Dance and that we could just bypass that for our event, but he insisted on helping by picking up a beautiful bouquet for the couple on his way to our event! The dance turned out so perfect with this little addition. If you're looking for a wedding DJ who will truly go above and beyond to make your big day unforgettable, look no further than Luis and Lionizing Entertainment. Luis created the perfect soundtrack to the best night of our lives, and we can't thank him enough for making our wedding reception an absolute blast!

Club trained with over 1000 Weddings experience, there's no one better to make the formal parts of your day great and then keep your dance floor LIT. My mantra: 'I Make It So Good No One Wants The Day To End'

I would highly recommend Wedding Pro DJ's. Robert is easy to work with as he has so much experience. He is organized and professional. He takes care of details that I've never seen other DJ's do. Everyone gets his undivided attention in planning as he truly cares that your special day is the best and memorable. He does lovely presentations of family members and guests. I'm often asked to stay for the reception and I love his ability to pack a dance floor.

Vibeology IA

Belmont, MA
  • DJ
  • Serves Portland, ME for additional fees

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.

Denise is amazing! During our DJ search for our wedding, my (now) husband and I came across Denise very early in our search. And I’m so happy that we did! Faced with the fact that we needed to find someone who would get (and keep) both of our dance-happy families on the dance floor, it was daunting to find the perfect fit for us and for the celebration to follow. We had to rely heavily on reviews to narrow down our search…but that only gets you so far when you want to feel the energy. In a leap of faith, we reached out to Denise. After that first meeting, we never looked back! It was easy to just spend time talking to Denise. She was our hype-lady from day one, working with our schedules from planning to the meticulous execution of the wedding day. She was patient with our indecisiveness on which instrumental version of our procession song we wanted (weeks of samples, back and forth, and for us to ultimately pick the first version she shared). As a planner, I very much appreciated Denise’s attention to detail. She combed through every detail with us well beforehand, so that she didn’t have any questions the day of the wedding. I cannot recommend this Lady DJ enough! She helped make our day so special and effortlessly kept people on the dance floor until the lights came on.

  • Serves Portland, ME

Zeke and Sheila have worked extremely hard to maintain their high quality and attention to customer service. 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!

Brides, grooms, everyone, hire this company as your DJ, photo booth, and uplighting provider! We were lucky enough to lock them down pre pandemic for our original date (10/10/20) and they were gracious enough to reschedule our contract to our new date (10/10/21) without any difficulty! Sheila was always prompt, warm, and professional, answering our occasional emails over the past 2 years, even in a pandemic! Our DJ, Craig, was the absolute man! We gave him a list of 10 very different must play songs and he delivered! He had the dance floor crowded the whole night and did a wonderful job working with us to choose a play list that would appeal to our entire wedding guest list. Our photo booth was priceless and was a huge hit. The uplighting was so cool and was well worth the cash! Long story short- don’t hesitate to book this company! It’s hard to find a DJ who was as cool and skillful as DJ Craig!

The Free Downloads are the ultimate multi-generational cover band and perfect choice to provide live music at your next event. Their always growing song list encompasses over 60 years of popular music. Established in 2009, The Free Downloads have performed hundreds of private events including weddings, corporate functions, birthday parties, and bar mitzvahs. During that time the band has earned a reputation as one of the most professional and talented bands in the New England area, with a deep commitment to doing whatever it takes to exceed expectations! If you need a band that will keep your guests dancing and having fun, look no further!

Wish I could give more than 5 stars! The Free Downloads played at our wedding on Nantucket in June 2021. Between helping us find a new date when we postponed from 2020 to being communicative about ferry/hotel reservations, I cannot speak highly enough of George. He was so great to work with throughout the entire process. The band was truly amazing and gave us the party of a lifetime. They play to the crowd and are SO talented. After a year and a half with no live music, the band (and guests) were so energetic and happy to be back on a stage and dancefloor. Music and dancing were very important to us - hiring The Free Downloads was one of the best decisions we made during wedding planning!!

HOT MESS BAND

Dynamic, Infectious, Electric and EXPLOSIVE!!  Voted Best Wedding Band by South Shore Home & Lifestyle Magazine, Best of Boston by Boston Magazine and Best Wedding Band by the Boston A-List 2 years running, HOT MESS IS Boston’s Favorite Cover Band, and for good reason! 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.

  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Portland, ME 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!
