At the wedding, he mixed in live singing and music with a great playlist, which kept things interesting instead of just running through a standard set. A bunch of our guests mentioned what a fantastic job he did after the event, unprompted. We would definitely recommend Tom to anyone looking to hire a dj, live music, or can't decide between the two. He provided the best of both worlds, and helped make our night truly memorable.

We could not have asked for a better musician for our wedding than Tom. Such a talented and…read morepersonable multi-instrumentalist and DJ is incredibly hard to come by. He was very prepared so we could focus on the big picture for our big day without worrying about logistics. Anyone hiring Tom for their event will have no regrets.

We had the Cabana Boys play at two of our outdoor private pool parties. The first party we had…read moreapprox 125 folks, the weather was a perfect night for a bash and the Cabana Boys were so awesome! It was a great party and a big part of it was the Cabana Boys performance. Our guests had a great time and couldn't say enough good comments about the band. Brian and Bob were great to work with, they accommodated the many requests to play another set, and another and another. The second party was much smaller but again the band and music was awesome and everyone had a great time. If you are having a large or small bash I assure you the Cabana's will kick it up a notch!

It was my first time going in here after driving by it for years. I had to restring my guitar which…read morethe help was more than happy to do and tune it in the process. This shop doesn't have that corporate sanitation feel. everything is in its proper place but with a more eclectic atmosphere. It doesn't seem to fit in with the surroundings and what your used too when you think of a music store in or near taunton, by that i mean, its almost too good for the area. All and all, the 15 minutes I spent inside was very enjoyable. and i recommend this place based on that criteria.

I can't recommend this place enough!…read more I spent most of my life sick in bed so I wasn't capable of making my dreams of going around playing live music a reality. I walked in to buy some strings while their open mic was going on a year ago and tried it myself... I've been coming every week since. It's allowed me to live out my rock star fantasy in front of the most supportive and loving crowd ever. I've met so many friends here, it's more than just an open mic and a music store, it's a community and a family. I've played drums, bass, and guitar here with so many different local musicians in so many genres, it has helped me to grow and develop my skills for each instrument. It has, without exaggeration, changed my life. If open mics aren't your thing and you just want a place to buy an instrument, it's great for that too. Unlike bigger chains like Guitar Center where they just want your money and kick you out, you can have a long conversation with the people working here to make sure you're purchasing the instrument right for you. If you want lessons or you have a kid you'd like to get into music, this is the place for that, too. Often you'll see the Rick's Music World students play at the open mics and I used to think "A student? Eh, this won't be too good" and they always blow me away. Whether you're looking for a music community to change your life or you just want to buy a guitar, Rick's is the place to go.

We booked DJ Big Daddy Ray for our wedding after my dad had told me he'd seen Ray DJ for a company…read moreevent. He said Ray's equipment sounded great and he was very upbeat. My dad was not wrong. Ray has the best personality, knows how to keep everyone out on the dance floor, and he reads the crowd perfectly to select the next song. He was always offering us hints, tips, and ideas. I loved the way he raffled off the centerpieces to the person at the table with the oldest car. They were all laughing and it was something new besides "who 's been married the longest!" Ray was also helpful and accommodating with our entrance songs and the last dance suggestions. I really couldn't have been more pleased. Rob Peter's prices were very competitive with other companies, but we chose them because I felt very confident and comfortable with Ray!

When selecting a DJ/entertainment for our family and friends festivity/elopement bash, I interviewed a SIGNIFICANT number of vendors. I found most of them to be WAY over priced and "sleezy"/ snake oil sales people. Rob Peters fit the "down to earth, love people/children, have a heart accommodating and reasonable" bill I was looking for. The chemistry was instant and I was hooked. My guests are still sending me emails raving about the food, cake AND the DJ!! (we may even consider flying him to Florida for a March event if we can get him cheap tickets!!!). The entire experience with Rob is stress free, interactive and he is very open minded. Above all, you will find them to be EXTREMELY professional, sophisticated without the "stuck up" / prissy attitude of many in the entertainment industry... They literally were the life of my party and had a great selection of latino music to make sure all my latinos had enough beat for their bones!

One thing I hate is that there are no bathrooms within the band rooms. So, if you're a guest you…read morecan't get back into the band areas without having one of the band people with you. It was a hassle. I know that one band didn't have AC for months!! You would sweat like crazy 'cause of how hot it was in there. They offer band practice spaces, i think they have like 2 different size rooms. They also host shows for bands. My boyfriends band as there and this is what he has to say about it. The atmosphere sucked. People would barge into your rooms unannounced. There was a lot of drugs and alcohol (addicts). They barely allow hip hop artists because of an incident where the cameras caught a few artists with guns on them. They are very strict about that. To get into the band practice rooms area it's fingerprint scan. 20x20 $400 16x20 $350 15x16 $295 9x9 $150 drum rooms

When I was younger this place was pretty legit. They had live music every month, bands had spaces…read morethey could practice and store gear. It was very convenient for bands in the space practicing there to just load their gear over to the stage and do a set. Those were the good times.. Then they closed the stage off for bands and made it impossible for anything like that to happen again. Essentially killing what was a booming local music scene. If this was 2007 this score would be 5 stars.

Believe it or not, we had actually never heard them play before our wedding night - but thanks to the great video that they have on the Music Management website, we had faith that we were going to be in good hands (and were we ever)!! The booking process was all that you could have ever wanted it to be (very quick and informative responses from Stuart and Kristy at Music Management) and come wedding day, they absolutely hit it out of the park!! After we signed the contract, we were then put directly in touch with Jason and Monica (two of the band members). We worked together to go over the timeline of the reception and also to create the most perfect set list ... one that had all of our guests on their feet until the final note! We can't recommend them enough - if you're still reading this and haven't booked them yet ... stop reading and sign the contract!!

So when it came to picking out a band for my own wedding, it was top priority. Hip Pocket Orchestra delivered more than we could have imagined. They brought high energy and kept our guests on the dance floor all night. It truly felt like HPO was part of our family. They were very fun, personable, and easy to work with. We spoke with the lead singer a few times leading up to the wedding and they took every request of ours. All our guests raved about the band and still do. The best compliment we received was from a guest who is a professional musician. He said HPO is by far the best wedding band he's heard. They can sing many different genres and were on top of their game for every song.
