As Avery’s business grew, he brought in his brother Wes and best friend Landon Bell. Together, this talented trio works hard to bring the dreams of soon-to-be newlyweds to life.

My husband and I had been to several weddings with Ace Wedding DJs as a vendor, and several without. Let me tell ya, there is a big difference! We knew we needed Ace Wedding DJs for our wedding this past June and they did not disappoint! Our lead DJ, Avery Echols worked closely with our other vendors to make the night run so smoothly. My husband and I truly did not have to think about anything and could just enjoy the night! Avery also CRUSHED the vibes!! After letting him know our top priority was making it a party and ensuring our guests had fun, he kept the dance floor packed all reception. Our booking coordinator, Wes Echols, was also great to communicate with. He always had very quick responses, provided us with a comprehensive and thoughtful questionnaire for the ceremony and reception, and was overall very helpful. We could not recommend Ace Wedding DJs more!!

SO Rhythm & lights was founded in 1989. And the premise is really simple, simple pricing that includes everything we got. We only have two add ons. If you need the ceremony, and if you want a photobooth. Our teams going to setup all the lighting, and give you their all every single time, because the price doesnt dictate if they do that. We got you covered from every aspect. We do not do hourly rates, so no need to worry about the smallest details. BEcause we worry about the smallest details. You can just have FUN at your wedding.

Rhythm and lights exceeded our expectations. They were easy to work with every step of the planning process and very helpful. As a nervous bride this was very important, their attention to detail throughout was a huge weight off my chest, knowing I didn’t have to worry about anything. Mitch was our dj and he was absolutely amazing. The reception flowed flawlessly and the dance floor was full all night. (Ask for Mitch) I can’t imagine how different my wedding would have been if I hadn’t booked Rhythm and lights! Literally the best ️. Thank you!!!

I planned our entire wedding and reception and coordinated it all, too. My new bride told me that with my personality, my intense desire to always provide phenomenal customer service, my love of music, my business skills, and the awesome job I did with our wedding and reception, I should start doing it for other couples. The dream was born, and a year later, we were in business. That was 10 years ago. It has been an awesome ride!

We worked with DJ Skip and it was such a success! My husband (ahh!) is from Spain and his family and friends came to the US just for this event. We wanted to make sure that there would be music that would be familiar to them and what they would expect for a wedding. Skip was very very accommodating, took requests easily, and quickly adjusted to match the energy of the crowd. We have gotten so many compliments about the dance floor, and we are honored to have worked with Skip!

Felix & Fingers was the best addition to my wedding! We had a BLAST. It’s the best mix between a live band and sing along karaoke (but you don’t want your uncle to get the mic, you know?). They did beautiful ceremony music, incredible sax jazz during cocktail hour to keep it classy. Then, they kept everyone engaged and entertained for the reception, from my aunt in a walker to my college friends twerking. We danced the night away but lost our voices from screaming along with the songs too. 10/10 you can’t go wrong with dueling pianos - DJs and wedding bands are out, Felix & Fingers is IN!

As our family and friends talk about our daughter's wedding, I keep hearing “Do you know what really made the party? The band!!” The energy and fun Funkle Jesse brought to our celebration was incredible. The dance floor was packed the entire evening and people were having a great time. It was a pretty magical night. We also asked Funkle Jesse to provide music for the outdoor ceremony and their guitarist provided exactly what we’d hoped for- a beautiful and respectful background of music for their vows. Finally, I would emphasize the professionalism of dealing with Brad regarding payments, arrangements, questions, etc. He was always quick to respond to my emailed questions which helped a lot, especially with our last-minute decisions.

My daughter was getting married in another state than the one I live in, and in the same year to boot! Because of having to finance two weddings in the same year, we did not want to spend an arm and a leg to do so. I asked the DJ I booked for my wedding if he knew anyone in Michigan that could handle my daughter's wedding, and he referred me to DJ J. Boone. I had talked to a handful of vendors before, and I came to the realization that the lower the price for the service, the worst service I received. I found a happy medium with J Boone's services.. He was priced fairly, and I was genuinely surprised at how much effort he put in to go above and beyond everything that was asked of him. He communicated clearly the whole time, made our needs important, and of course on the big day, delivered what was asked of him. And more! Our entire family was extremely impressed with his service.

The husband + wife duo Johnny and Michelle have over 30 years of experience in Oakland County and Michigan. Together, we have reinvented what it means to have a wedding by creating unbelievable experiences with high energy, amazing lighting, and the coolest options.. You will never have to worry about your wedding reception with NightBeat Entertainment.

From a vendor perspective it's such a breathe of fresh air to find a DJ willing to work closely with Photographers. We don't always have a lot of time in the evening because of the hours booked, but Johnny ensures that we are totally covered & communicates throughout the evening about time, what we need etc to make it all happen for the couple. Not a ton of DJs work cohesively with us & it truly makes it easy for our couples! Not to mention he really gets the dance floor jamming! I personally am a photographer jamming out in between grabbing photos of the couple with their friends & family on the dance floor! You will be making an EXCELLENT choice booking Johnny for your wedding day!

Cuarteto Guataca 

5.0

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Big Rapids, MI 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!!
