“Diego outreached me to provide a review as he started his own company. I was than happy to help write a review given the great experience we had with him. There are many things you’ll remember about your own wedding (e.g. the effort put into planning, the worry as some minor things go wrong and the epic time you had celebrating), but I never thought that our DJ would be one of the things we commonly reflect on. We selected the music, but Diego really brought it to life and made it a great event. His professionalism and energy will synergize with everything else at your wedding/event. Review from my wedding a few years ago: You can't really have a bad wedding DJ experience with VOX Djs. The company itself has a good standard template for everything. The general experience from the company is as follows: 1) You meet with their office manager, tell them about you and your significant other. They take down the data as you guys discuss. 2) You agree on a package/price. 3) You pick a couple of DJs from their online roster to interview. 4) You interview the DJs via phone or in person meet up pending location after their availability is confirmed. 5) Tell the office manager who you want. 6) You'll get automated emails to fill out surveys that include a timeline for the event and music selection (from their online library which is fairly extensive) 7) Meet up with the DJ a couple of weeks before the wedding 8) Have the wedding. It's a good standard process. Now, if you pick DJ Diego with VOX...you can have a GREAT wedding experience. Diego followed all of the above and put in a variety of extra effort. About 4 months before the wedding, he helped us with creating a custom mix for our first dance. He got back to us with the mix within a week. 3 months before the wedding, we decided we wanted a different mix. We chatted with him briefly over email and he redid the mix for us again. A few weeks before the wedding, we met up at a coffee shop. He agreed to meet us half way as the VOX offices were far. During this session he went over all details that we submitted via their standard template and took notes on everything. He worked on pronunciation of everyone's names, timing of all music (down to the second of when various clips would play) and essentially scripted out the entire evening. Diego showed up 30 mins early the day of to make the most of his set up time at the venue. He was dressed very professionally and understood how to manage the crowd (mix of older family and fun friends). He was courteous to everyone, made clear announcements to guide the guests throughout the venue, maintained energy all night and truly was the voice of the wedding. Nothing is for certain when it comes to your big day, but Diego is excellent at preplanning and quick on his feet to fix problems and keep the proper emotions flowing with his DJing and Emcee skills. I without hesitation recommend Diego to anyone interested in VOX.”

Band or Ensemble

Serves Princeville, HI for additional fees

Based in New York City, The Hook Club is one of the tri-state area's most exciting and unique wedding bands. Owned and operated by a tight-knit community of musicians, they are known for their attention to every musical detail and the professionalism they bring to every event. 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!

“Dan and the entire team were phenomenal to work with. Every thing we asked for, they delivered on, down to the confetti cannons. Don't overthink it- this team is amazingly professional, highly skilled and really, really fun!!! You won't regret booking them! We had a ceremony piano which was gorgeous on the beach and a string quartet that performed from the upstairs balcony during the cocktail hour - both of which incorporated our specific requests and more general stylistic requests (e.g., more modern songs that you might not expect to hear a string quartet play). The Hook Club really brought the party for our reception and after party- we had an incredible band with amazing stage presence and the after party DJ was great about taking our in-the-moment requests which made for an amazing night. I personally missed the confetti earlier on and Dan was kind enough to do a little more for me even as we approached the end of the night. Again- can't say enough good things. If you book them please invite me to your wedding so I can enjoy it all again!!!!”

It was perfect in that we wanted both live music and the dance and pop hits we love. The day after, all of our guests mentioned the music as a highlight of the wedding. I highly, highly recommend Golden Bell and Marlon for providing a fun, exciting, and unique musical experience to any celebration.”

From welcoming music before the ceremony, to the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner and dancing, Cello Joe can handle it all for you. From classical cello to alternative, funky, beatbox cello grooves to DJing a dance party, Cello Joe can perform for ceremonies, cocktail hours, and dance parties.

“We got married on 10/08/2023 and booked Joey for both live entertainment and DJ. We selected him because he's a beatboxing cellist/DJ which we thought was totally awesome, and he did not disappoint. He was incredible and so much fun to work with! Our vision was pretty quirky; our venue was a funky brewery in an old airplane hangar, our attire was Art Deco-style, we didn't want any tradition "wedding" music, and had a tasteful ode to Batman incorporated into our theme. Joey took our vision and ran with it. He had so many creative ideas and input throughout the whole planning process. Beginning with the ceremony, he played cello versions of non-traditional 80s, pop, and rock songs, which were beautifully interpreted and set the perfect mood for the perfect moment. During "Beer Hour", he shifted to playing the cello while beatboxing and singing to more non-traditional songs. I have to say we were not expecting him to sing, but were pleasantly surprised by his beautiful voice! We and our guests were thoroughly impressed by his talent and charisma. When we transitioned to the reception, Joey switched gears to DJ/MC mode. He and his wife who was assisting him were seriously the life of the party. We requested that our grand entrance song be the Batman Forever theme song, and he came up with a minute-long "movie trailer" intro for us. It was epic and hilarious, and the perfect way to set the tone for the entire evening. Throughout the night, he played both songs we requested as well as other songs that fit our vibe perfectly. We were on the dance floor all night (other than when my husband left when the Niners game started haha). He and his wife were also rocking out with us at the DJ booth. It's easy to see that Joey loves what he does. His passion for music and creativity shines, and we can't thank him enough for making our wedding day "the most fun wedding we've ever been to" according to every single one of our guests. It was the most amazing wedding ever and the best day of our lives. Thank you Joey!!!”
