We worked with Preston to get everything set up, and Trey was our DJ for the wedding. They handled music and emceeing for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. I was super impressed by how professional all my communication was with them and how easy everything was. Honestly, they were the easiest vendor that I worked with. They let you pick out and customize the music as much or little as you want. I had put together fairly extensive playlists that Trey had no problem going off of.

Full time musicians with years of experience, The Midnight City band brings energy and passion to each event. Playing a wide variety of music styles, the band keeps their set list updated and relevant with a mix of old school classics as well as newer hits sure to please any audience. In 2019, The Post and Courier named The Midnight City as Charleston's favorite cover band - this is a band sure to impress!

We were an out of town couple, planning a "destination" wedding and Midnight City came very highly recommended from our CHS wedding vendors, which was very important to us; they get to see ALL of the local entertainment! After reviewing a few demo videos, we knew we needed to book Midnight City immediately! Their diverse music portfolio and range of genres they can play is unmatchable and their ability to engage with a crowd is so impressive. They are a truly talented group, not just a (insert generic event here) cover band. The booking process and pre-wedding communication was very quick and seamless. They were very flexible when we added on ceremony music after the fact and executed everything flawlessly. We were able to highlight our must have songs, preferred songs, and our "do not play" list. Their energy was high and truly made us feel like we were at a concert vs. a wedding (which is just what we wanted). They amplified our entire experience. You will not be disappointed with this talented crew!!

Paige and Holly were a dream to work with! Music and dancing was one of the highest priorities for our wedding. Paige and Holly understood my vision and music taste immediately, and we knew we could trust them for an incredible party. They took all of my favorite songs and wielded them expertly to keep the dance floor packed all night --- from Stevie Nicks to Chappell Roan. Our wedding night wouldn't have been the same without them, and I wish I could relive that dance floor a million times over. We have gotten countless compliments on our wedding music and how much fun our guests had.

There are not words to describe how much we loved having DJ Krystyle perform at our Aug 2024 wedding. She was very responsive, communicative, and has a super easy online portal that helps capture every detail you could think of for the event music. She’s also a lovely human in general to work with. We went with the approach of choosing the major songs and providing general recommendations around genres and let the expert handle the rest. We had multiple guests tell us they could not stop dancing or singing along the entire night. We had every age group on the dance floor. If it’s any indication - my photographer had to remind me a few times to stop bouncing around so she could get some good still shots. In our opinion, it doesn’t get any better than DJ Krystyle.

Guests of all ages were out dancing during the ENTIRE reception. My uncle said he couldn't remember the last time he danced so much! Guests sang & danced until the very end. There was a perfect mix of songs & energy for our crowd. We had so many guests and staff at the wedding come up to us saying that was the most fun they've ever had at a wedding.

I don’t even know where to begin, but before I go into it. Don’t think- HIRE TONY. We worked with such an incredible team of vendors, and one of the most amazing thing about Tony is that he is so in tune (pun intended) with the wedding industry that he works so well with everyone, is a true team player, and helps to make sure every single aspect of your wedding runs smoothly. We had an initial meeting with Tony before we even signed a contract and within seconds of hanging up we knew we had to work with Tony. He just gets it. He gets everything about weddings. He knows how to curate the perfect vibes and music. He is a phenomenal MC. He has your back throughout every step leading up to the wedding. We had a few meetings with Tony to discuss our goals for the wedding and every time we met with him we got more and more confident that Tony was going to absolutely kill it. Little did we know that Tony was going to create the most perfect set list of songs, create the most perfect mashups, and create a night that every guest and every age group would enjoy. My 86 year old grandma danced the ENTIRE night thanks to Tony’s expertise. You can tell from the minute you meet Tony that he loves what he does. We have had so many friends and family members tell us how incredible Tony was and how we had the most fun wedding they’ve ever been to. We’re biased but we agree. Tony made such an incredible impact not only on us, but all of our guests. Also to add, Tony brought cold sparklers and extra lighting for us that absolutely blew our minds. Our dance floor was PACKED from the minute it opened. Tony is a top notch entertainer and a top notch person. If you are given the opportunity to work with him, don’t think twice. Do it. I promise you will not regret it.

We were huge fans of Dueling Pianos as we had seen them several different places throughout the country. We just didn’t know how it would translate into wedding entertainment. From the first inquiry, Jason responded almost immediately and was very thorough and informative in his communication. We set up a phone call about a week later and we just knew it was going to be the right fit! The show was amazing and the entertainers really wowed the crowd. They were funny, personable and of course talented. We would highly recommend The Copper Piano to anyone considering live music!!

Harpist Beste Toparlak 

5.0

  • Solo performer
  • Starts at $500
  • Serves Charleston, SC

Based out of Charlotte, North Carolina, Harpist - Beste Toparlak is a gold-medal-winning harpist that can provide her services for wedding occasions. With an extensive repertoire, musician Beste Toparlak can help to create a beautiful ambiance at your nuptial celebration. The lifting melodies of the harp provide the perfect musical backdrop to any wedding event, from ceremonies to receptions, and everything in between.

Beste was by far the best decision my wife and I made at our wedding (other than the "I do" of course). She was excellent to work with and her large selection of songs were conveniently available on her website. She even had recordings of several pieces making it easy for us to imagine and plan the ceremony. We had Beste play throughout our wedding and the emotion she added was palpable. Our guests also let us know how much they enjoyed her playing but regardless of the compliments, it was special for Samantha (my wife) and I. Would highly recommend!
