This band was fantastic!! They played for my ceremony (guitarist), cocktail hour (three pieces), and reception (8 piece band). They were definitely the highlight of the night! They never said no to a single request we gave them - including playing a piece written by my own grandmother. I received so many compliments about their performance, and they kept everyone up and dancing all night. Our only issue with them is that they started our father/daughter dance song too quickly so we were thrown off, but no one seemed to notic!

I was blown away by the talent of the musicians, they really take their craft seriously. I requested a Roaring Twenties theme from Louis Pettinelli and they went above and beyond to make it happen. The singer Karlea was phenomenal and did an amazing job of keeping our guests engaged and entertained. The musicians were all courteous, professional, and exceptionally talented. They dressed appropriately for our wedding theme and many of the guests at the Hawthorne Hotel wanted to take pictures with Karlea in her Twenties attire. In addition to being a wonderful experience, they were also a great value for the price. These are top quality musicians and we paid a reasonable price for the band. I highly recommend this group for your wedding.

  • DJ
  • Serves Rives, TN

Hailing from Chicago, I bring a dynamic mix of talent and energy to every wedding celebration, blending seamless emcee skills with an innate ability to read the crowd and set the perfect mood. With years of experience tailoring soundtracks for unforgettable nights, I know how to keep guests dancing and engaged from the first song to the final encore. My extensive music knowledge and attention to detail make each celebration unique and memorable, creating a vibe that reflects the couple’s style while making every guest feel part of the magic.

It was an absolutey amazing wedding. Honestly we didn’t plan well on our part and there was a lot of drama with the guests (what wedding doesn’t have drama). We were horribly behind schedule, but Larry helped the wedding flow and gave it much needed direction! He was excellent at communicating what he’s seen in other weddings that worked and didn’t work and guiding us in a direction that made us happy. He knew how to please the crowd and their various ages while making sure everyone was entertained. He had an amazing flow between the music, food, activities, and games. 10/10 recommend!!

We used Sam Hill Entertainment to book the band “The Dickens”. This is the part of our wedding everyone is still talking about. They played such a variety that every age was able to enjoy. Not a single person was sitting at the tables while the Dickens were on the stage. They were very interactive with the crowd and even let the groom (a guitar player) get up there and jam out with them. This was such a fun addition to the wedding and we loved every minute of it!

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!

Top Tier is live music at the highest level! Top Tier is a fun, high-energy variety band that has 5 lead vocalists to offer a diverse repertoire that spans over 7 decades and encompasses almost every style of music. The band was formed 14 years ago and consists of top notch, experienced musicians with a passion for performing. They can perform as a 5-piece, 6-piece (with sax), or an 8-piece (with a 3-piece horn section). There are over 200 fantastic reviews of Top Tier that have been posted online. So when you want live music at the highest level, look no further than Top Tier!

We got married 5/20/23. I started the search for a band early on as I knew I wanted one with experience, talent, and good reviews. After months of searching I finally stumbled upon Top Tier. I quickly could tell this was the band. Their promotional videos did a great job showcasing their talent and wide variety of music. From slow beautiful ceremony music to rocking reception jams- they truly can do it all…and very well! JD is the main contact for booking and was so helpful, professional and responsive throughout the process. Planning a wedding is stressing is stressful! JD asked what we wanted for our day and made it happen. Our dance floor was packed all night! I mentioned to JD that I’d love to get a conga line going- he picked the perfect song and even brought his guitar out on the dance floor! Needless to say we had an amazing conga line and evening thanks to Top Tier. If you’re searching for a quality band that is experienced and reliable I can’t recommend them enough!

Dj Touché truly made planning my wedding a lot easier! I was a very chill bride which to some was great but to others it made things more difficult. Dj Touché has this awesome app that he sends you to choose music and I was overwhelmed with the choices! Dj touché was so patient with me and helped me pick great songs for my wedding! He even freestyled a little and he 100% nailed the vibe! The Photo Booth was truly a hit at my wedding and I had no idea I’d get to see all the pictures people were taking during the wedding! He had the pictures scrolling across the dj booth! He also had pictures of my husband and I displayed during the wedding and I had no idea he was going to do that! 10 out of 10 highly recommend!

Weddings are a big deal. It is a celebration of you making an eternal commitment to the person that you love more than anything. You would go to the ends of the earth for them, just to make them happy. So why would you risk the celebration of that love on a bargain bin DJ? I have read the horror stories. Seen the Reddit posts. It would have been such a beautiful wedding, and amazing memory… if the DJ didn’t ruin the entire thing. With DJ Triplicate, what you receive is consummate professionalism. Service that goes above and beyond. One on one attention with time, care, and empathy. “Don’t let a cheap wedding DJ happen to you”

We couldn’t have anticipated such a huge impact DJ Triplicate would have on our wedding! He was so impressive with his musical talents, playlist, professionalism, compassion for our requests as well as the treatment of our friends and family. He was responsive out the gate and each time we had questions or request, he took as much time as we needed. We could tell he wanted to make the playlist exactly what we wanted and he put a lot of time and effort in to preparing it for us. The energy was always where it needed to be and the dance floor was never empty! His lighting and fog made the mood perfect for our wedding and it’s apparent he truly loves what he does and had such a great attitude. We would recommend DJ Triplicate to anyone that has an event in the Atlanta metropolitan area!

We worked with Born To DJ for our wedding this month and they did an incredible job. James was professional from start to finish, always anticipating our questions and our needs. He was super helpful in putting together our music plan in the weeks leading up to the wedding (and he uses a cool website that makes it easy to organize and request songs). On the day-of, James and his team managed two distinct setups without any hiccups or delays.
