Professional, responsive, and easy to work with!

We hired a string duo and DJ Gino through Save The Date and could not have been happier! Kitty was super clear and responsive to all emails and questions and the musicians were professional and so talented. I am a big Swiftie and they made sure to incorporate her music into our ceremony and cocktail hour. DJ Gino was also wonderful! We had a few phone calls with him before the big day to go over our favorite songs and discuss the timeline. On the day, he was personable and helped get everyone on the dance floor. I cannot recommend this company enough!

We love DJ Gino

We hired DJ Gino from Save the Date to play ceremony and reception music and he was wonderful! Hilarious and personable while we planned over the phone, and he was wonderfully accommodating to our very specific musical tastes while still being able to read the crowd and match the music to the energy. All of our guests absolutely loved him and I would definitely recommend him to anyone!

Great experience

We hired a violin/cello/guitar trio for our wedding ceremony and it was a perfect choice! They were very professional and communicative. They had a wide range of music selections to choose from, and their performance was so beautiful! Especially we all loved the bride entrance song “salut d'amour” by Elgar. Highly recommended!
