“We worked with Kevin Maldonado for our 11.17 ceremony and reception at the Granite Rose in Hampstead NH. Main Event was the recommended DJ service from our venue, and the matching process to put us with the rigth DJ was so easy. Once we met with Kevin, we had high hopes for our big day, and I am not exaggerating when I say that Kevin blew our hopes out of the water. Kevin helped with audio for our ceremony, before doing music and speeches at our cocktail hour and reception. We requested a high energy dancefloor, with classics from all decades to get everyone on their feet, and wanted to have an insane dance party with our friends and family. He killed it. The energy on the dancefloor was impeccable, and Kevin delivered our vision PERFECTLY. He was so professional, but fun, and everything went very smoothly, no hiccups, no complaints. I would absolutlely, 100% recommend Kevin, and Main Event Entertainment, for anyone looking for a DJ for a wedding or event. You will not be disappointed.”

“Chad understood the assignment! We were drawn to Chad because he also enjoys country music, appreciates the oldies, and knows how to jam like it’s 2010. Chad is high energy and he was a great MC all night. He perfectly timed all of our ceremony music, including a high energy moment for our flower dude! He introduced us with much enthusiasm and kept the party flowing all night. He perfectly incorporated our “must play” songs - during cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing - and he respected the sweetness of our special first dances. We truly enjoyed working with Chad and would recommend him to any couple looking for the hottest wedding day playlist!”

Before we even had a venue or date set I was 1000% sure that Jimmy was a priority, because music makes or breaks a wedding!! Not only does Jimmy have the ability to read the room and truly entertain the audience in front of him, he also is genuinely the nicest and most caring person ever. He will take the time to listen to your needs and make sure you have every type of setup you could possibly need. Also his hosting skills are TOP NOTCH!

“Justing was a fantastic DJ! We gave him a short list of must-plays then let him do the rest, and he was great at reading the room and playing what the people wanted. He took requests from guests if they fit the vibe and was totally okay saying no too which is exactly what we wanted. We even had some guests asking for his playlist before the night was over. He brought tons of speakers and lights, and even some wireless speakers to play the same music in multiple rooms, including outside on the deck for cocktail hour. Everything went off without a hitch. We also got the photo booth add-on which ended up getting a ton of use and people loved it. Sawyer was manning the booth and 5 stars to him as well!”

I’m Jay and I'm the owner of La Bella and The Beat. I spend my weekends entertaining, celebrating and partying with some of the best people I’ve ever met. Music has always been a passion of mine--from my boombox days in 1st grade, playing for whoever would listen from my neighborhood driveway, to when my DJing side hustle of 13 years became my full-time career in 2018. I’m a versatile mobile DJ serving New Hampshire, Maine, and Massachusetts (or really anywhere looking for a party). For the past decade, I’ve been rocking events all across New England. No my adventures even take the parties abroad.

“Hands down, the best DJ in so many ways. Professional, personable, flexible and most importantly super talented and incredibly FUN! As a vendor in the events industry, we have worked with Jay and we are always excited to see him performing, bringing a group together to celebrate and see them having a great time. Personally, we have worked with Jay for our company events as well as our own family celebrations over the last few years. He reads the room, knows exactly how to keep the crowd going and seeing him behind his booth with his giant smile makes him a huge part of the celebration. We always hear compliments and rave reviews from our guests after a party with Jay. Half of our family is hispanic and is always requesting the latin hits, and he always delivers! He makes sure to get an understanding of the event, the invited guests and is always in communication so that he is prepared for it all! In addition to his talent. He offers a great photo booth option, which we use at all our holiday parties and an incredible lighting package to help enhance the atmosphere. He helps create and compliment the entire vibe at any event. Five Stars All Day!!! Thank you Jay for helping us create such wonderful memories for our team, friends and family!”

E.C.F. Entertainment DJs, Lighting & Live Musicians

Rating: 5.0 (6 reviews)

DJ
Serves Portsmouth, NH

If a wedding had a heartbeat, it would be its soundtrack. A strong heartbeat equals a truly memorable wedding. A weak heartbeat? Well, we all know how that ends! E.C.F. Entertainment DJ's have amassed a stunning array of Industry Awards and Accolades. Without exception, brides have shared that choosing an E.C.F. Entertainment DJ was a game-changer for their special day.

“DJ Shyne is the difference between a good wedding and a once-in-a-lifetime, next-level, unforgettable experience. Hiring him was the single best decision we made for our wedding. He is outstanding—a true artist in his craft. It’s so clear that he’s not only dedicated to his profession but also deeply loves what he does. We gave DJ Shyne what we thought was an impossible challenge: blend pop hits, Spanish tunes, emo throwbacks, Disney jams, booty-shaking hip hop, and a long list of theme songs from our favorite TV shows and movies (everything from The White Lotus to Saw). On top of that, we added a handful of random, deeply personal songs you’d never expect at a wedding. What happened? Not only did he execute this perfectly, but he became the catalyst for a wedding that felt curated exactly to US—spinning a history of us both as individuals and our journey together woven into a seamless soundtrack. His mixing was unique, unexpected, and so much fun. As the bride, there was no place I wanted to be except on that dance floor. Our guests went wild. Compliments poured in all night and days after. We got so many texts like, “BROOO your DJ?! ” that we started to lose count. But it wasn’t just about the music. From the very first Zoom, DJ Shyne radiated charisma and professionalism. He carried that positive energy into every planning meeting and right through the reception—he even gave our speakers personal pep talks before their toasts! And when it came to group dances, he did something I’ve never seen: he stepped onto the dance floor, mic in hand, and taught the moves live. Towards the end of the Cha Cha Slide, he started teaching the crowd the moves to the Cupid Shuffle so by the time it started they were already doing it!!! No confusion, no awkward guessing, just pure joy and inclusion. He quickly became the vendor we looked forward to meeting with most. We ended each Zoom call feeling assured, uplifted, and excited about the possibilities. Out of everyone we worked with, he was the best. It does not get better than DJ Shyne. He isn’t just the DJ your wedding needs, he’s the DJ your wedding deserves.”

Ripcord

Rating: 5.0 (6 reviews)

Band or Ensemble
Serves Portsmouth, NH

Ripcord is comprised of Boston-based musicians who have played together in various cover, wedding and original bands over the past decade. This experience enables the group to consistently deliver a perfect blend of hits from all genres; jazz standards, funk, R&B, soul, top 40, country, classic & modern rock… even that new indie tune you just heard on the radio. Ripcord's diversity is impressive; however, it'll likely be the remarkable accuracy, energy, and feel with which they perform that will blow you away.

“Ripcord made planning our wedding so easy. They got back to us quickly through email and we were able to meet with us several times before the big day to make sure everything was perfect. What really stood out was how accommodating they were—they even let my father-in-law perform one song with the band, which was such a special moment for our family. The music they played was incredible and honestly, our guests haven't stopped talking about it since the wedding. We couldn't have asked for a better band to keep the energy going all night. Highly recommend them if you want your reception to be a hit.”

He had our entire list of songs, our wedding party names, and all of the little details we had discussed. You could truly tell how much he cared about making our night perfect. One moment that really stood out to me was when David came up to me during the reception to ask if I wanted a song that a guest had requested to be played. That small gesture showed just how professional and thoughtful he was. He wanted to make sure the music stayed exactly what we envisioned, while still making sure everyone was having the best time. So many of our guests came up to us throughout the night and told us how incredible our DJ crew was.

We spent over a year planning together, and she was organized, responsive, detail-oriented, and always willing to hop on a call, answer questions, or help think through ideas. One thing that really stood out was how invested Cassandra was in making sure everything ran smoothly. She wasn't just someone behind the scenes coordinating logistics — she was actually onsite for our wedding day and felt like part of our team. Unfortunately, we experienced an unexpected fire alarm interruption immediately following our first dance that temporarily paused our reception and forced guests outside. Cassandra, alongside our day-of coordinator, immediately jumped into problem-solving mode. When we were finally able to return to the ballroom, she creatively had us reintroduced to "Fire Burning" by Sean Kingston, which turned a stressful situation into a funny and memorable moment that had everyone laughing. We were so grateful for her ability to stay calm, think quickly, and help keep the energy positive. DJ Dennis was fantastic and kept the dance floor packed all night. He did an amazing job reading the room and creating a fun atmosphere for guests of all ages. The photo booth was a huge hit as well. Guests loved the glow booth and the customized photo overlay, and we ended up with so many great keepsakes from the night. Entertainment-wise, everything was seamless. The ceremony audio, microphones, piano music, reception flow, DJ services, and photo booth were all executed beautifully. If you're looking for an entertainment company that is professional, organized, talented, and genuinely cares about your wedding experience, Bright Set Entertainment is absolutely the team to hire.”

“Louis Pettinelli Entertainment was an absolute dream to work with. I thought that a live band for our wedding would be out of our reach, but LPE was so easy to work with and what an incredible value! Our band, LPE Snapshot was incredible and our ceremony musicians were amazing too! The vocalists were high energy and kept the whole event moving. They were great Emcess and they even added some special non-traditional reception activities for us. They were super flexible and played all the songs we asked for- even some very “niche” tracks we asked for during the ceremony. So many of my guests said the band was their favorite part of the reception. I highly recommend LPE entertainment! (I am also a musician myself so I’m very picky!)”
