Extremely unprofessional sales tactics and poor communication…read more Working with this management team, Mike Amado especially, was a frustrating experience from start to finish. We experienced high-pressure sales tactics early on--including an absolute refusal to shift a consultation meeting by even 24 hours so both my fiancé and I could attend. We were told that if we didn't lock in immediately, someone else would take the date at a higher rate. We were repeatedly pressured with claims that we'd "never find a band for this price" and told we had to sign within a day or two. The most concerning part was what came next: after all that intense pressure to commit immediately, communication completely stopped. They went radio silent for three full months without a single follow-up. Given the total lack of professional communication and the aggressive tactics, we assumed the band was unavailable and booked our entertainment elsewhere. Event planning is stressful enough without having to deal with high-pressure sales followed by months of ghosting. I would strongly advise prospective clients to look elsewhere.

They were incredibly responsive and professional during the planning process, which made the process seamless! I highly recommend the photobooth especially because our guests loved it!

The band was FANTASTIC, their playlist is amazing (like 300 songs - we found tons to request), they got the mood just right with quieter songs for the social hour and - after dinner - transitioned our party to a raucous, joyous, pull-out-all-the-stops dance celebration. The 3-piece horn section was amazing, the 2 singers were fantastic, and they kept the place rocking until the very last song. Our kids took over 1/2 the dance floor while the "old folks" commandeered the other half and it stayed packed all night, song-after-song. There was never that moment where everyone loses steam and sits down. As the night went on, even the single guys felt compelled to come out and join the fun. Months later, whenever the subject of our party comes up, we STILL get complements about the band. I can say in all honestly that they MADE the event!

If you need your party to rock, you need Soul Clap to spin the music…read more I had the pleasure of seeing them in action two days in a row this week: on Thursday at The Moxie Agency party and again last night at Boston Yelp's Old Skool Prom: http://www.yelp.com/biz/old-skool-prom---yelp-style-whiskey-park-boston The vibe of these two events was decidedly different - the first a swank party in a penthouse loft, the next for a group of bedecked and bejeweled prom-goers in a hotel lounge - showing off the versatility of Soul Clap's repertoire. If the music these guys spin doesn't make you want to dance with somebody (with somebody who loves you. . .) I'd be shocked.

As far as I'm concerned, Soul Clap is one of the best things to come out of Boston's DJ/music scene…read morein quite some time. Creating great music is all about tuning in to the energy of the people listening--a talent that Soul Clap has successfully mastered. Versatility can sometimes be difficult for other DJ's. Most stick to one type of music genre, venue and crowd. Soul Clap is a splendid exception to this rule. I have heard Charlie and Eli bring back the 90's at Redline-- inspiring grown men and women to break out their old school dance moves (I even revived my rusty running man and roger rabbit)... I've seen them create music at a posh Moet event-- getting even the most timid attendees to clap their hands, tap their feet and bust a move... And let's not forget the cult-like hipster-filled(yeah I know we all hate the word hipster, but deal with it) following they created with Dancing on the Charles. Whether they're spinning in a nightclub, a bar, a fashion boutique, a swanky hotel or a dingy American Legion hall, their music is always unique, crowd-pleasing and one hell of a good time. Bravo boys. http://stuffatnight.com/boston/stuffatnight/archive/2007/10/19/rise-and-shine-meet-the-new-faces-of-boston-nightlife.aspx

He was communicative throughout the whole process, taking time to go through everything ahead of time over the phone with us, and then showing up early and prepared. He had all the songs we had requested ready to go, as well as a clear understanding of the flow of our event. He was spot-on the whole night, and played all the songs that we had requested ahead of time, as well as what guests requested throughout the night. He kept that dance floor full with all the great songs he played :) It was a magical night. and he couldn't have been more wonderful to work with!! Highly recommend!!!

We decided on a DJ instead of a band for a few practical reasons. It's cheaper, there's more…read morevariety in what he/she can play and therefore can appeal to a broader audience, and most importantly for us, a DJ takes up less space than a band. We thought about forgoing a professional altogether and just doing the iPod thing, but I was afraid that it would stress me out. For anyone else who has done the DJ search, there is LOT of cheese out there! I received a packet from this one guy with all kinds of crazy rainbow colors and smiley faces and frankly, his voice on the phone scared the crap out of me. We wanted a low-key DJ, not a show-boat. Tom was perfect. He was referred to me by a friend and we communicated briefly by phone & mostly by email. He seemed very professional and his website looked pretty detailed. When we finally met just before the wedding, I'll admit that I was afraid he might be a little too low-key. He is very calm and maybe a little mellow. Not what I had in mind for a DJ. But, we liked him all the same and all that really mattered was that he showed up and played good music. He totally delivered! He wore a nice suit and looked great. Call me shallow but that's important - his head in the background of quite a few of the photos. He was professional and knew what to play to make everyone happy. He also played all of the songs we asked him to, which is not always a given. The reception was non-stop dancing all night. We had a blast. Oh, one other thing. Tom is not cheap but he's not overpriced either. I talked to some people who wanted crazy amounts of money to DJ. Tom was totally reasonable. Another "highly recommend".

Whenever she played a more recent top hit, she balanced it with an older crowd-pleaser song so everyone could enjoy. She's also a great MC (totally non-cheesy), and everyone raved about her afterwards. 100% recommended :)
