Tori M. Sent on 10/27/2022Exceptional experience, beyond anything we could have hoped or dreamed for!
We are so incredibly happy and thankful to have had Joseph and Erika as our wedding band. Not only are their talent and expertise unmatched, but they were incredibly accommodating. They were our first pick for bands, so we were beyond excited when we were able to book them. Our wedding was in Nantucket on LDW (no small feat), and they went to great lengths to book affordable travel and make the trip on such a busy weekend (also, amidst their other LDW events/engagements). When it came to planning, we had some unique asks and they went above and beyond to make our vision come to life. For starters, they learned all of our first dance songs (bride/groom, mother/son, father/daughter), and even personalized them with little tweaks we wanted to make. Week of our wedding, when I had the ridiculous request for them to send me a rough recording of our first dance song so we could practice since their version would be different from the original, they didn’t even hesitate. We freaked out when we heard it because it was even better than the original! Already assuming it was too much to ask, we also threw out the possibility of them learning one additional, special song the week of the wedding for the ceremony processional, and to our surprise they, yet again, didn’t even hesitate to accommodate. Their song list is extensive and exhaustive, so the fact that they were willing to learn four additional songs (that they probably won’t ever be asked to play again because they were unique to us) says a lot about how talented and how much Joseph and Erika care. Speaking of their song list, whatever mood/vibe you’re going for, it’s on there. We marked some songs we loved and others we could do without and discussed the ambience we were trying to create, and Joseph and Erika absolutely nailed it. Honestly, they made the whole event. Our guests were in awe of them, and they kept the energy and vibes high. As if they hadn’t already exceeded expectations, after our wedding they offered to cut a professional studio recording of our first dance song. They ended up giving us two high-quality mixed/mastered mp3s of our first dance song; one was the full song and one was the version we had them personalize and abridge for the dance itself. We’ll cherish them forever. I can’t recommend Joseph and Erika highly enough. They are top of our referral list for anyone planning a wedding or event, and we hope to find another excuse to book them in the future!Joseph And Erika's reply:
Thank you so much, Tori! We were thrilled to be a part of your celebration and had a wonderful time on Nantucket hanging out with you and your guests. Hope we get to party with you again soon! - J&E -

Taylor Sent on 06/08/2024The BEST time!
Joseph and Erika were way beyond amazing! They were incredibly easy and fun to work with on music. I was worried about how we were choose songs and how hard it would be, but they have an app that is very helpful and fun to use, and you get to pick out all your music right on there for the whole night! We didn’t end up choosing most of our dance floor music and just told them what types we liked, and they ABSOLUTELY nailed the dance floor music! It was hard to find a time to go to the bathroom because every song was too perfect! All our guest said how great they were and how much fun the music was! They are also incredibly talented and our live songs were so beautifully done. I cannot recommend these two more! They truly made our night so special with their beautiful music!Joseph And Erika's reply:
Thank you so much, Taylor! We were so happy to be a part of your celebration in Bedford NH. We felt so welcomed by you and Derek and we had such a great time partying with you and your guests! Congratulations! -

Joseph + Erika are the best!
Joseph + Erika are fantastic. If you are lucky enough, and have a chance to book them, do it!
We booked them for our July 2023 wedding and couldn’t have been more impressed. They are professional, responsive, knowledgeable and extremely talented.
Leading up to the event, we had multiple calls and exchanged countless emails. They answered every question immediately with expertise and great suggestions.
For our wedding they performed the music for the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. Each was in a different location at the venue so Joseph + Erika set up three zones and lead the events so guests transitioned seamlessly between each zone.
The music was as fantastic. They learned three songs for us just weeks before the wedding and made a point to play them when we were both around to hear them. In planning, when we asked to switch up our Intros and first dance to have them outdoors, they pivoted and offered advice to make it happen! Our dance floor was packed ALL night. We even did live sing alongs to end the night. Joseph and Erika encouraged just the right amount of crowd involvement and we all had a blast!
The music and mc for your wedding can make or break the feel, transitions and total vibe. Joseph & Erika made our wedding classy, romantic and so much fun!Joseph And Erika's reply:
Thank you so much, Meaghan! We were so happy to celebrate with you and John and your guests -- such a fun group! We especially LOVED doing acoustic sing-alongs with everyone at the end of the night. Ya'll brought down the house. Congratulations! -

Caleb B. Sent on 10/07/2023Don't second guess, book them!
Erika and Joseph crushed at our wedding. Our venue was 4 hours from Boston and from the beginning they were super easy to work with to book the lodging and they charged a reasonable rate for the travel. Their laid back but detailed and responsive attitude was reassuring throughout the planning process.
We went with the full band package (7 members) and every band member was talented. They were able to seamlessly transition from just the two of them performing during the ceremony and cocktail hour, to a short DJ set, to the full band dance party for 2+ hours at the end of the reception. There wasn’t a single song during the night that felt out of place. They were also open to our ideas for the setlist and truly worked to meet our taste in music (I know that some DJs/Bands are less open to input) but at the end of the day, we trusted them as professionals.
A week before our night, we decided that we wanted the father of the bride to sing with the band to start the father/daughter dance. While some bands may have balked at this idea, E&J were enthusiastic/encouraging and did a wonderful job playing the back-up singers for the father. My sense is that they are open to absolutely any ideas that you might have for making your night unique.
We are biased, but Erika was the best MC that we’ve seen at a wedding. MC’s at other weddings have reminded me of a sweet 16 or bar mitzvah but Erika was pure class. They are simply cool people with incredible talent and they enhanced our wedding greatly without overshadowing all of the nights special moments. After the reception, we invited them to the after party just to hang and were honored that they stopped by for a drink.
Our guests are still raving about this band and even guests that don’t usually dance were on the floor all night. If you are on the fence about booking them, do yourself a favor and go for it!!!Joseph And Erika's reply:
Caleb + Shannon -- we can honestly say your wedding was a highlight of the year for us. The setting was magical and it was truly a perfect day. Y'all killed it on the dancefloor and we loved getting to hang out with everyone at the afterparty. Thanks for an incredible night! See you soon! - J&E -

Arielle B. Sent on 05/19/2023Perfect music for the perfect day!
Joseph and Erika brought the perfect vibe to our day during the wedding ceremony and reception. The ability to have both live music and DJ was the exact balance we wanted, and man did they bring it!
Joseph played to welcome our guests to the ceremony while Erika sang for the processional. They let us choose songs we wanted live for special moments like the dances with our parents, and set the tone for later in the evening by DJ’ing after the guests enjoyed the bar.
They do some live gigs if you want to check them out, but I actually hired them before I had even heard them live. After checking them out at a bar one night before the wedding it got me even more jazzed about them! They have a natural chemistry that won’t disappoint and they are worth every penny. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone.Joseph And Erika's reply:
Thanks for this amazing review, Arielle! We loved celebrating your big day with you and your family in Rhode Island. Absolutely stunning location and such a beautiful day! Congratulations! -

Awesome wedding music
Joseph and Erika were the perfect combination of acoustic and dj. We had a chance to see them at a local bar before our wedding and were so happy with their performance on our wedding day. -

Courtney A. Sent on 03/13/2023Amazing experience with Joseph and Erika!
I struggled with where to start on hiring entertainment for my wedding. I wanted some acoustic music during the first part of my wedding, and then DJ/dancing for the rest. I did a quick search on WeddingWire and was thrilled to find that Joseph and Erika did both! Joseph was amazing at following-up with me and made the process of hiring them very easy! They were extremely organized and I didn't have to stress about them needing any hand holding on the day of the wedding. The acoustic singing was amazing, even learning new songs for me, and the DJ portion was so much fun. Would absolutely recommend hiring them for you wedding! You won't regret it! Thank you for making my day so magical and special!!Joseph And Erika's reply:
Thank you so much for your recommendation, Courtney! We were so happy to be a part of your celebration and we're glad we were able to keep things fun and stress-free! Congratulations! -

Best vocals and SO MUCH FUN
Joseph and Erika are the best of the best! They were one of the biggest hits at our wedding. They were awesome to work with from the very beginning, staying organized and in sync. They made preparing the entertainment INCREDIBLY easy. On our wedding day Joseph played acoustic guitar beautifully as guests were entertaining and parties were walking down the aisle. Both Joseph and Erika played for cocktail hour, and guests could not stop talking about their sound and talent. And Erika completely crushed it DJ’ing during the reception - truly an experience my husband and I will never forget. We have had several people ask for their information, since they were incredible! We cannot recommend Joseph and Erika enough, we cannot wait for the next opportunity to see them again!Joseph And Erika's reply:
Thank you so much, Joe and Regina! We had so much fun partying with you and your guests and LOVED your energy on the dance floor. Joe, you'll be a DJ in no time ;) Congratulations again and thank you for including us in your special day! -

Janine G. Sent on 09/30/2022Book 'em! Best band for a great time!
If great musicians are important to you, if you don’t want a cookie cutter band with the same playlist at every event, if you want your friends and guest to have the BEST time - Joseph and Erika are the greatest. They can do anything. Their vibe overall is cool and they were a joy to work with. Super stress free. They listened to everything we wanted from music for the celebration - namely that we wanted a music vibe that was in-line for our taste and music - as if we made a playlist - but better. They killed it on execution - for everything especially our special songs which they learned in just a couple weeks. Their covers were as good or better than the studio recordings. AND their energy! During dinner they were so chill and played an acoustic selection that was cool and romantic at a volume that made conversation easy. After the cake was cut they got people on their feet. After dessert they FULL SENT IT. Teenagers to Babyboomers were all on the dance floor, singing along. They completely captivated our guests and a point their performance reached the likeness of a concert. What a day! Such a night! Joseph and Erika made it a PARTY!Joseph And Erika's reply:
Thank you, Janine!! We had so much fun bringing the full band to your celebration in Newport and rocking out with you and your guests! Fantastic evening overall and a pleasure to work with you. Thanks for choosing us to be a part of your special day! - J&E -
