If there's one thing we can say about Vibrant it's this.. our wedding dance floor was packed the whole time, thanks to the band! Honestly, the only time it wasn't was maybe during their break. The band read our crowds interests and adjusted as needed. We couldn't believe how high the energy was ALL night!

Alto Music & Entertainment

Johnston, RI
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,800

I love music and I love playing the music everyone else loves. Playing weddings is my favorite type of event because of the diversity of people and couples I welcome to the dance floor through my thoughtful and inclusive play list. I hope you consult with me to learn how I can make this possible.

Alto Music & Entertainment was exceptional in every way for our wedding day. From the very first interaction, their communication was clear, professional, and timely. Josh, the DJ, was warm and kind throughout the entire process. The quality of their work was truly exceptional - Josh is an incredibly talented musician and public speaker who made our ceremony so special by playing live violin as I walked down the aisle and keeping our guests entertained during the reception party. His performance was nothing short of amazing, and I would choose him over and over again. If you're looking for wedding entertainment that is both professional and incredibly talented, I can't recommend Alto Music & Entertainment enough!

We helped popularize the "crossover string quartet", much like the Vitamin String Quartet, during the early days of classical crossover. Our style, now made mainstream by Bridgerton, predated the Netflix hit show by 15 years. We're ready to play for your ceremony, your cocktail hour, or maybe even your reception. Choose from a string quartet, string trio, string duo, or violin soloist. Let's start planning the soundtrack to your happily ever after!

Awarded Best of Zola
We had the Golden Scroll Soloists perform for our ceremony and cocktail hour at our wedding at OceanCliff this past April, and they were absolutely incredible! From the very beginning, Kevin was so responsive and made the entire process seamless. He provided curated playlists to make things easy, but also gave us the option to customize by selecting individual songs and listening to clips right on their website which we really appreciated. We chose the trio, and it was the perfect fit. We mixed modern songs with some timeless classics, and they brought it all to life beautifully. Our guests kept commenting on how unique and elegant the music was. We couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out and would highly recommend Golden Scroll Soloists to anyone looking for live music for a wedding or special event. Truly a highlight of our day!

  • Serves Johnston, RI

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
Graeme is a fantastic DJ. We had so much fun dancing at our wedding thanks to Graeme. We had specific non traditional requests that he executed perfectly. He also went through all the music we sent him and carefully picked what would work best for our demographic and vibe throughout the day. The sound quality was great, even during our ceremony on the beach during a very windy day! I highly recommend Graeme for any of your DJ needs.

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring Alex to be the DJ for our wedding was the easiest and best decision we made. My husband and I wanted to ensure everyone at all ages had fun while keeping the party going. Everyone at our wedding had an absolute blast and Alex is to thank for that. Alex is so incredibly easy to work with and made the planning process a breeze. He was always available and quickly responsive to texts, phone calls, and even face-times! He spent so much time going over every little detail of our wedding day to make it perfect - even with some picky requests that I had made! Alex even came to our rehearsal to make sure everything was going to run smoothly the day of. During our reception we fell a little behind on our timing for scheduled events (toasts, first dances, cake cutting, etc.) and Alex calmly informed me of what was going on and the best way to catch up on time. He was so flexible and very knowledgeable on how to make things work! We included his photo booth in our package and it was a total hit! Everyone loved it and some of our favorite photos from the night took place here. He and his assistant are professionals! I hands down recommend DJ Alex Brown to anyone for any event, not just weddings. We had the time of our lives and will hire Alex in a heartbeat for any events in our future. Thanks for helping make this night one of the best and most memorable! We love you!

Emcee services and dance floor lighting are never an additional cost!

Awarded Best of Zola
We could not be happier after choosing Blurred Vision to play on our special night. Even though we booked them over a year out, Bruce and Christiana were always available and eager to answer any and all of our questions. Working with them both could not have been more stress-free and easy. They did a fantastic job with the emcee work during the ceremony and reception and read the crowd all night to make sure everyone was having a great time! Not only is their standard catalog of songs diverse and great, they knew we are both huge Dave Matthews Band fans, so they went out of their way to surprise us and all of our guests by learning and playing a difficult DMB song in the middle of the dance party. I was very stressed and worried about picking the right band for our wedding, and boy am I glad we choose Blurred Vision. Thank you Christiana, Bruce, and the rest of the band for a night we will never forget!! Abby & Ryan

You and your guests will experience the thrill of a live musical performance with songs selected from our extensive, timeless, and versatile repertoire. The band performs each song with a unique, soulful style aimed to get guests out of their seats and onto the dance floor!

We cannot recommend this band enough - they were absolutely amazing and without a doubt the best choice we made to set the mood for the evening. The dance floor didn’t stop all night long - my husband and I couldn’t sit in our seats to finish dinner because we were so excited to get up and dance the second the live music started. The vibes were impeccable. Their voices are so, so good and we love the incorporation of the horns - it really takes the performance up a notch! We booked with Greg and he was wonderful to work with - so friendly, quick to respond and helpful with any questions I had throughout the wedding planning journey. Having a live band was so important to us and our guests have not stopped raving about how great the music was. We had guests dancing that I’ve never seen on the dance floor at any other wedding. The MC services were killer - they even agreed to play piano for our cocktail hour as a special add on at our venue. We love TITTB!!!

Clockwork Boston stole the evening and our guests could not stop telling us how good they were. They know how to have a party, and despite many folks leaving our Sunday evening wedding a little early, the vibes were incredible all the way to the final song. I never left the dance floor, and glad I didn't! One piece of advice, we wish we chose more swing/oldie/calmer dance music for the DJ break in between sets. Just a suggestion for any future couples to be!

DJ Pat was a pleasure to work with for our August 2025 wedding! He was extremely prepared throughout the entire day and made sure to provide extra microphones, as well as extras to the extras, in the event they were needed. We shared with Pat that my mother has a tremor and he provided us with mic stands for the speeches so that she would feel completely comfortable the entire time. He transitioned our ceremony music seamlessly and thoughtfully, and never failed to communicate with us throughout the day as the timeline changed. Inevitably, our timeline fell slightly behind, and Pat was flexible with his set to keep people dancing for the entirety of the shortened reception. He made sure all of our 'must-play' songs were played and ensured our 'do not play songs' were not. We loved his lighting setup and could not have asked for a better experience. He communicated with kindness to all of our other vendors, and we are so happy that we chose Rob Alberti Event Services for our wedding!
