DJ Tay worked with us in the months leading up to the wedding to coordinate instrumental piano covers for our ceremony which turned out beautifully. We also gave him a spreadsheet with songs we definitely wanted to play, others that were maybes and a few not to. He worked off this list but there were still a lot of songs I’d hoped to play that we didn’t hear, and also a handful I hadn’t asked for - but it is what it is. He also brought some great colorful lighting and uplights for the space which really added to the vibe. Overall Taylor did a good job DJ-ing our wedding reception! (Some fun hora photos to share)

We hired Spenser for DJ services for our wedding on 10/10/2024. Spenser met with us beforehand to understand our musical likes and dislikes and our general expectations for the day. He was punctual, professional, and kind, and he was not afraid to tell our guests "no" when they requested something on our "Do Not Play" list. Several of our guests complimented us on his music selections! We also rented an audio guestbook through Spike Events, and our messages came back amazing. Thank you so much, Spenser!

Brendan was a dream addition to our wedding vendor team. We felt confident from the start knowing his extensive experience at our venue and as a radio DJ. Brendan was quick to respond to all of our questions and communications, which certainly put us at ease during the planning process. He proved to be a talented and knowledgeable musician and DJ as his ideas for the music and flow of the day were spot on. The highlight of our day was when Brendan played the piano during our cocktail hour. Our guests loved it! Brendan's mobile app was also very useful as we made selections for the day-of music, and he seemed to know our venue, Glen Manor House, better than anyone else on our vendor team. The day flowed perfectly thanks to Brendan's expert timing and seamless transitions. His energy perfectly fit what we were looking for in a DJ and we were so glad to have him on our team! We highly recommend B-Sharp Entertainment for any couple looking for a top-tier DJ who will make their wedding day special, especially those getting married at Glen Manor!

We could not be happier with our choice to use DJ Jason Mello for our wedding! Jay kept the dance floor full the entire wedding. It's like he was reading our minds. So many of our guests have said that it was the most fun they have had at a wedding. The ceremony was flawless and Jay played the perfect music throughout cocktail hour, dinner, and through dancing. I was so impressed with his timing and music transitions during our grand entrances to the reception as well. His Vibo app made it so easy to choose which songs we'd like to hear when, and Jay filled in the gaps so smoothly where we didn't have any specifics. He was so professional, responsive, and I felt reassured throughout the planning process that we had made the right choice. Jay, thank you so much for giving us the best party we could have asked for. I couldn't recommend Jason Mello more!!!

My husband and I recently got married September 2023 at Hotel Providence in Rhode Island. Planning a wedding was one of the hardest things I ever had to do in my life. Finding the perfect vendor for each part of your wedding is hard. I spent many many days privately messaging people and trying to see who fits what I need for this day. I came down to the DJ. I found Josh of D and J entertainment. I read all his positive reviews and decided to give him a call. He without hesitation answered all my questions and drove from Massachusetts to Rhode Island to meet with us. Josh hands down is one of the coolest people you can talk to. He is very honest but in a good way. He lets you know was popular with weddings now and helps you out his spin on it. Josh’ company has amazing pricing. They are able to accommodate all weddings. With so much you have to pay for on this day it’s nice paying someone and feeling like your money is actually going to be used well with him. They arrived hours before the ceremony to set up. The hotel loved the company too and how polite they were. Josh came prepared with all the music we requested to hear that day. From the minute we walked down the isle to when everyone left. Josh kept playing amazing music. All night I wasn’t let down once by the song choice. In some areas the venue messed up on a few things. Example the cake cutting and first dance. The hotel really didn’t nail timing so josh Took complete control of the wedding and saved it truly. He made sure my cake cutting and first dance were memorable because the hotel slipped with this. Nothing like a DJ who saves the day too. The best part of it all while DJing Josh found time to take so many photos. He wasn’t asked or required to do so. He took it upon himself to take more professional photos for us. That’s what I call above and beyond. Couldn’t believe he went that far out of his way for us. Thank You josh and all of d and J entertainment. You made the Soares wedding the biggest success. We will never forget you or your amazing spirit and drive to make others day unforgettable.

He was organized, responsive in our communications leading up to the big day, and had a clear understanding of the vibe we were going for.

Wedding advice: hire Cover Story Entertainment! We worked with CSE for our July wedding. We went with the ceremony package, 6-piece band as well as their uplighting and photo booth services. Our experience with CSE from start to finish was 10/10. Chris and Elena are incredibly organized, communicative, and responsive. They always answered all of our questions (and I asked many!) Alec, Alex, Savannah, and the rest of the band members rocked it all night. One of the first things guests commented on about our wedding was how amazing the band was. One of our guests commented that they wish they could cancel their DJ and fly CSE to their wedding in Portugal because they loved them so much. Extremely talented musicians for an awesome price, which make a huge difference when wedding planning. When we reflect on our wedding day, Cover Story is a huge part of what made it such a memorable night. -MK AJ Dunne

If you're game to sing until you lose your voice, don't mind getting sweaty, dance up a storm, party like a rockstar, and make some new best friends in the process, come party with 7 Day Weekend!

We LOVED having 7DayWeekend as our wedding band. They were amazing to work with throughout the process. Adam, the drummer, was our main contact. He got back to us super quickly and kept us updated. We also had one of the band members play at our ceremony which was such a special feature! 7DW is not your typical wedding band - but that is exactly what we wanted! We saw them back at Mohegan sun in 2019 and loved them ever since. When it came to picking a band for our wedding, we did search and search but nothing came close to 7DW! We had to have them rock our wedding - from their fun skits and songs to the throwing of sour patch kids and putting tattoos on people - you can’t get a better party band. They kept the dance floor packed the entire night! All 5 members of the band were such a special part of our day - helping us, or keeping us calm throughout the day! We are so lucky to have had them play at our wedding - truly a dream!!!

My daughter recently got married in Newport, Rhode Island, on September 14th, 2024. She choose to have her reception in a tent on the lawn of the Eisenhower House. The venue was stunning and the woman at EH recommended Clockwork as we were looking for a local band with horns to play at the reception. We were not able to hear them in person, but all the video's posted online more than helped our decision making process and we quickly booked the band 20 months in advance, It was our second decision in the wedding process after the venue -with many, many more to come, but without a doubt - IT WAS THE BEST DECISION!!!! Booking was easy - we sent a check to reserve the date. the catalog of music they are capable of playing is extensive. But we had a tremendous comfort level with Clockwork New England as the contract states YOU GET THE EXACT MUSICIANS you see on all the website videos. There are no switches, or long lists of band members they slot in on any given day. Everyone we saw and loved are the people that showed up for our event. From start to finish - the band rocked the night away - the dance floor was never empty. They sang the bride and grooms song 'You are the Best Thing" and it was spectacular. And every song after that just got us up off our feet. The horns added so much - we keep hearing from friends asking us who they were, because they LOVED the music. The interactions with the crowd also made the night so memorable - and some of the best videos of the night. The band worked well together - and we just cannot say enough about how much they added to the party. Patrick joined a zoom call we had w our planner a week or so earlier than the event - and went over every detail - completely putting our minds at ease. 5 stars are NOT ENOUGH!! They truly made our event the best it could have possibly been! I want to do it again!

My philosophy for music is, "You bring the dancers and I'll bring the music".  I'll take your requests and my years of experience and turn your wedding into something your guests will never forget.  In order to play the right song at the right time, it's all about observation and knowing your crowd.  As I am selecting and mixing songs, I am attentive to everyone's reaction. Years of performing gives me an understanding of action and reaction... an easier way to put it is, I know how to rock the socks off your wedding!

Our June 2024 wedding at Quidnessett Country Club was everything we dreamed of and more, thanks to Shane! From the very beginning, he was so easy to talk to and made planning such a breeze. He was confident, organized, and really listened to what we wanted, which made the whole process so much less stressful. Knowing we had him running the show on our big day let us just relax and enjoy every moment. The reception was an absolute blast!

BEST BAND EVER!!!! The whole experience was INCREDIBLE, not only was Trevor amazing to work with but also all my guests couldn’t stop raving about how amazing the band was. I’d book them every single time and have already sent their info to friends with weddings coming up. We got married at Saltwater Farm Vineyard with the ceremony and reception all in one place. Silver Arrow band did our ceremony sound, cocktail hour music, and reception and it all went PERFECTLY. For the ceremony, they played a Spotify playlist for our guests as they were seated for the 30 minutes before the ceremony, perfectly played the processional and recessional music (shout out Bridgeton for making quartet versions of Taylor Swift songs), and had the microphone and speaker set up for the ceremony. For the cocktail hour, I kept imagining a saxophone player (for no apparent reason) and Trevor let me know it’s usually just a keyboardist who plays during this time, which was absolutely fine, but they ended up adding a saxophone and keyboardist to make my vision come to life. We also had an MC who helped narrate the night. But I cannot highlight enough about how amazing the band was. My best friend who is a big fan of Broadway was in awe of the vocalists and my family literally started dancing on the tables because they were having so much fun listening to the band. It was a perfect blend of old school favorites and new songs. I strongly believe a band makes or breaks a wedding and Silver Arrow Band can absolutely make your wedding everything you want it to be and more. Not to mention they are the BEST price around for a 9 piece band and they deliver. Do not hesistate, you’re in great hands! Book them now!

Joey G is like my cool uncle except he’s got sick DJ skills. He did our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. Not only was he professional and organized, but he also brought an incredible energy to our wedding. For the ceremony and cocktail hour, we provided him with a specific music selection, and even though we never rehearsed together, he nailed it perfectly. During the reception, we gave him a playlist, and he struck the perfect balance between sticking to our choices and reading the crowd to keep everyone dancing. One highlight was when Joey G handed the microphone to people in the crowd, turning our reception into an impromptu karaoke party. It was a blast! He was not only fun and engaging but also very attentive to our needs. He asked how to pronounce each name correctly for the toasts, ensuring everything went smoothly. We requested that he not take song requests, and he respected our wishes completely. The sound quality was stellar, and his equipment setup was flawless. Joey G understood our need for clean music as we had many families with young children attending, yet he still kept the atmosphere lively and fun. The dance floor was packed with all 150 guests! Joey G was also a great help with announcements, coordinating toasts, and working with friends and family to announce the newlyweds and photo groups. His flexibility and attention to detail were impressive. Overall, I highly recommend Joey G to any couple looking for an awesome wedding DJ. He provided a questionnaire that made the whole planning process so easy, and his execution was simply fantastic. Joey G truly made our wedding day unforgettable!

Luis and the team at Lionizing Entertainment were absolutely fantastic to work with for our New Year's Eve wedding. His communication was top-notch - he always responded to us within 10 minutes and kept us informed every step of the way, even when he was in the middle of something. It felt like we were planning with a friend. Luis truly brought the party vibe all night long, with our guests raving that he was the best DJ they had ever seen at a wedding. When we felt overwhelmed, he was there to take the stress away, even helping us find a last-minute photographer when our original one had to back out. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ to ring in the new year with us. Hire Lionizing Entertainment and you won't be disappointed!

Hi! My name is Matt and I am the owner and head DJ of Style Points DJs. I began DJing in 2016 with my friend Jerry after discovering a mutual love for electronic dance music from the likes of Zedd, Martin Garrix, and Hardwell. I've found an overwhelming passion in DJing and event coordinating, so much so that I've worked tirelessly to do it full-time since 2021. I believe that the DJ is the cornerstone of wedding vendors and I do everything in my power to make sure that I can make the vision of your wedding into a reality.

Matt was literally amazing from start to finish. From day one, he was so easy to work with, patient and professional. He really took time to work with us to make sure he knew what we were looking for in our wedding music. When I say he had everyone up and dancing all night, I truly mean that. Even my grandma was moving all night. I would recommend Style Points to anyone and everyone who needs a DJ. We’re so lucky to have had Style Points with us on our wedding day, and even more lucky to have built a friendship with Matt! Thank you so much!

TSG Weddings was fantastic to work with for our wedding! From the very beginning, their communication was thorough, clear, and prompt. They took the time to meet with us several times to get a deep understanding of our musical tastes and preferences, and it really showed in the quality of their work. The DJ/emcee Sam was incredibly attentive, responsive, and experienced - he made sure to pay close attention to the language used and asked how we would like to be introduced, which meant a lot to us as a queer couple. We felt so comfortable working with him. The dance floor was packed all night as Sam expertly read the crowd and played music that kept everyone having a blast. They also provided a super helpful worksheet to plan the songs for our ceremony, going above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect. We highly recommend TSG Weddings for any couple looking for a fun, experienced, and inclusive wedding DJ service.

Have it your way! That is my philosophy. There are so many different tastes and styles to accommodate, so I work extra hard to make your day exactly how you want it. What's the secret? I listen! I pay attention to each individual client and their own needs. I've been using this philosophy for years, and it has been working quite well! I am constantly learning more about my first love: Music! As a Master of Ceremonies, the philosophy is the same. I never say too much, it is not about me! It's about the client, and I never want to outshine or take any of their attention away.

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Graeme as our wedding DJ for our big day, and it was one of the best decisions I ever made! In all seriousness, the best vibe curator we could have asked for. He was extremely easy to work with, is very experienced, organized, personable and makes everyone feel special. Most importantly, Graeme is fun! He realizes the importance of weddings, despite how many he's done - and he took extra care in making ours special, memorable and personalized. There is no doubt he knows what he's doing, and he makes sure everyone is happy and having a great time. Not only does he take care of absolutely everything - he goes FAR above and beyond. We had my now sister-in-law and her husband sing our first dance song (they traveled from out of town) and Graeme was able to arrange a guitar to make it extra special and perfect - convenience for everyone! I also didn't know what my first dance song would be with my dad, because my dad was adamant about surprising me and ended up creating a "mash-up" of special songs from my childhood, and was only able to do this because of Graeme and his willingness to go above and beyond (and the "mash-up" was under 2 minutes, which I am SURE Graeme also helped direct ;) ) - Our wedding day simply would not have been the same without him. If you are looking for a DJ for your wedding, look NO further. From before the ceremony to "shutting the place down" he managed it flawlessly every step of the way and we are so thankful for him. Weeks later we're still getting comments on how great our DJ was - I would recommend him over and over again if I could. Thank you Graeme!!
