“I’ve been in the wedding industry as a a professional for the last 12 years and have worked with Second Song on the vendor side many times and they have always been fantastic to work with, especially in situations where I needed their help as a venue manager or a coordinator. So, when it was time for my wedding, I KNEW who I was hiring! We went through the wonderful and fun process of selecting our DJ by watching intro videos, listening to mixes, and truly getting to know each of them and chose Cale, who was the absolute perfect choice for our 1950s vintage themed wedding at The Madonna Inn. He fit the vibe perfectly and took our playlist and mixed it so incredibly well that almost 95% of our guests were dancing the entire night!!! We could not stop receiving compliments about what a great party it was and how the vibe was truly immaculate. The DJ is an essential part of your wedding and trust me, Second Song is the right choice!”

Their unconventional group has mastered the art of creating a great dance party that keeps guests on the dance floor all night and then humming the songs the next day!

“Wow wow, the best experience we could've asked for. First off The Hook Club was absolutely awesome to communicate with and coordinate with. They were super responsive and professional but at the same time so laid back, we trusted them completely with their vision. They were great through the pandemic and made sure we all were on the same page. The musicians are so talented, we had live music for the ceremony and cocktail hour, right before my ceremony started they played a beautiful song I had requested. The cocktail hour was beautiful, the music was at a perfect volume where we all could hear and enjoy them but people could carry on in conversation. The reception was off the charts, everyone wouldn't stop talking about how awesome they were with the music choices. Ash the DJ was absolutely on point, read the room and the talented live musicians integrated with the DJ was perfect, we had never seen anything like it but it was better than we even imagined. Big thanks to Dan who checked in all the time and even followed up after the big day. This group was one of a kind, thank you all so much.”

“Wow - let's start with that. We weren't sure if we wanted a band or a DJ for our wedding. We love music, so a live band was appealing but we also wanted the flexibility of song choice that DJs typically give you. Why not get both? Paul, Sebastian, and the Golden Bell team are insanely good at what they do. 100% flexibility in the planning process, discerning advice when you need it most, and incredibly talented musicians meant that we got a dance party we envisioned. Paul even made Beach Boys, Caamp, and James Taylor mashups for our first dances with each other, mother, and father!!! Who does that? We can't thank the Golden Bell team enough for making our reception an absolute blast. Book Golden Bell and never look back!”

“Joey Chang was instrumental in conducting our wedding ceremony and our wedding reception. He brought the highest level of musicianship, ceremony, and professionalism to our special day, making it sing! Joey played classical cello music before our ceremony, for the processional, and during our ceremony. Each music piece was selected for its contribution to the orchestration of the whole nuptial service and brought out and accompanied the feeling of the moment. Joey also played both classical and contemporary live cello (many of his original pieces) at our reception during dinner, creating a warm, welcoming, and nuanced atmosphere. Additionally, offering his multitalented presence, Joey served as our master of ceremonies for the reception. His timing and transitions and delivery were as deft at the microphone as they were at the cello, never missing a beat. Not only that but he also served as DJ for our wedding reception dance party. Working with our established playlist, he brought out the playful and reflective moments of the night, providing music to accompany the entrance, the first dance, the father daughter and mother son dance, and the bouquet toss. He worked magic! Our wedding and its celebration were a work of art, and Joey Chang was a principal artist in its creation. Joey was reliable and dependable in all of our preparations every step along the way; not only was he punctual and prepared, he helped to adapt to the changes in the moment on our special day, capably and flexibly responding to the schedule as it evolved throughout the five and a half hour reception. Joey Chang is a multi talented musician and artist who brought style and poise as well as containment and sheer beauty to our wedding day with his presence at the cello, at the microphone, and at the DJ table. - Willow & Daniel Event Date: June 18th, 2022 Services Provided: Cellist, Variety Entertainer, Wedding DJ”
