Highly recommend Collective Music Solutions!!

We had our wedding on May 30, 2021 at Lion’s Gate Manor and had Erica DJ our ceremony and reception. When I first reached out in January 2020, she was not familiar with the venue and offered to meet me there to do a walk through and get a feel for what I was envisioning. She gave so many helpful tips that I ended up using for my wedding. About a month before she sent us a sheet to provide all information about our ceremony and reception, including what songs we wanted played, what songs were off limits, the timeline and more. I also requested a mashup song for my father/bride dance and it was amazing. She timed it perfectly and it couldn’t have gone better! When she noticed people sitting and not joining the dance floor, she put on a line dancing song and got people up out of their seats and told them exactly what to do. It was exactly what we needed to get people comfortable with dancing and she knew just when to do it! Everything went off without a hitch and I could not recommend Erica and Collective Music Solutions more!!

One great source for all your wedding music needs!

Our wedding day was magical, and the music and A/V from Collective Music Solutions were a big part of that! It was so nice to go to one source for all musical components for my big day! We had a guitarist for the ceremony, 3-piece jazz band for cocktail hour/dinner, then Erica as our DJ for the dance party! My husband and I wanted everyone on the dance floor, and we got just that during our reception! I loved seeing everyone have a great time. My dad, who never dances, was even out on the dance floor. Dan and I didn't sit down once. We were just enjoying dancing the night away. Erica's energy was great as our DJ, and we loved how she mixed the music and incorporated our tastes to create a lively, fun atmosphere!

They bring the party!

Erica Berg and Collective Music Solutions were AMAZING. They were flexible with our ideas and helped us out when we found out there was no speakers on the patio at our venue the night before the wedding. Her vocals are amazing and her willingness to work with you on your needs is even better. I highly recommend this band. You'll love their song choices, playlist, and willingness to align with your vision of the perfect day.

Exceptional service

This team was absolutely phenomenal for our wedding event! Erica the owner was wonderful in communicating since day 1. Erin the (harpist) was incredible and Sammy (the DJ) killed it with keeping the dance party atmosphere and was so attentive to myself and my husband personally the whole night. We are so grateful and incredibly happy with collective music solutions as our vendor of choice! I definitely recommend them!

Amazing music!!

It was so much fun!! DJ Mykel out did himself! It was a wide age range and he was able to please everyone and get people to dance! People would try to go get a drink and then he put on another song and the people would come right back to sing and dance! So many great songs you couldn’t help singing to. Mykel was able to get people dancing I didn’t think they would! Made me so happy he pulled that off. No complaints except the venue of course had to close at some point and had to head home.

Before the wedding they were extremely helpful and kind. Answered all questions always got back to us. Everyone working there made everything so easy for us! Not always easy to say that when planning a wedding but it was with them.

The Best Vendor!!!

The Collective Music Solutions team was incredibly easy to work with from day one. Erica and Victor worked closely with us throughout the whole process. They offer an array of services and customize to each couple they work with. We have a vocalist and guitarist play for our outdoor ceremony, a trio jazz group for our cocktail hour on the patio, and a DJ and Emcee at our indoor reception. My nerves from the day were instantly calmed as soon as I heard the beautiful music around the corner at the ceremony as my guests arrived. The cocktail musicians were incredible and entertained guests while they mingled. Our Emcee and DJ blew it out of the water with the dinner playlist and dance music. We had 230 guests attend and I think almost all of them were on that dance floor having the best time ever! We got so many compliments from our family and friends about our musicians. They are extremely talented, personable, professional and so friendly. We loved working with them and couldn't have dreamed of a better element to our special day. They made this day absolutely perfect for us and our guests!

Awesome dj and jazz trio!

Erica and her team had some picky clients on their hands- we had very specific music requests for our wedding, including wanting a jazz trio and having an extensive no-play list for our DJ. Sammy was our DJ and was AWESOME. He had all of our guests on the dance floor the entire night.

Our jazz trio during dinner and cocktail hour was phenomenal and I truly could not have asked for better entertainment.

Thank you so much!!!

Great Place to Book Multiple Music Choices

We were very pleased with both the cellist and the Dj we had with Erica Berg! When our day of planner sent our cellist home (without our approval and not per our day of plan-a whole different story), Erica remedied it immediately. They are professional, helpful and great musicians. It's a great one-stop shop to ease the stress of wedding planning. While our musical tastes differed dramatically from our DJ, he was so kind and helpful with the planning. He even met us before to talk things over! With the ceremony cellist, she let us choose our own and songs and even learned a new song for us. I was floored! She was amazing!

A huge hit with our family!!

Erica is a complete joy to work with. She helped us pick a combination live band/DJ package that was perfect for the vibe we wanted to create. Chill folk music before dinner, then switching to a DJ after dinner to start a dance party! The band was PHENOMENAL. We got SO many compliments!! There are several musicians in my family and everyone loved the band. And my husband and I completely adored Jason (our DJ). We got on the same page before the wedding and he really listened to what we wanted. He was so great and flexible the night of the wedding too! (My sister/MOH requested one last song at the end of the night and it perfectly capped off everything!!) I highly, highly recommend working with Erica!!

Excellent. She turned a nightmare into a daydream!

Erica is wonderful and very quick to respond to your needs. They have wonderful DJs who play any music you desire and have a great ability to read the room and get people involved. The musicians are also wonderful. At the last moment our original plans for ceremony music fell through and Erica helped us get an amazing violin and piano player who fit in flawlessly. They turned a nightmare into a dream. I highly recommend this company for all events and every wedding; they believe love is love.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Wow! Where do I begin? Erica and her team of incredibly talented musicians are unbelievable! It's obvious being around Erica for any length of time that she has a huge passion for music and an electric personality that is entertaining without stealing the show from the bride and groom. As a photographer, it's important that the vibe of a wedding is upbeat and that the emotion and energy of a wedding party can show through in the photos. As a music enthusiast myself, I really appreciate the attention to detail that Jordan, the sound engineer (he's way more than that by the way) pays to the small nuances in the audio mix and makes sure that it sounds great in any environment whether it's a trio or a 7 piece band.
