About this vendor
Why choose between live music and a DJ for your wedding when you can have both?
Bands are fantastic, but they come with a hefty price tag and a limited repertoire. DJs bring the dance floor to life, but let's admit it: recorded music sometimes lacks that authentic, human touch your love story deserves.
We make things simple:
We play live music. We DJ. And most importantly, we craft unforgettable moments that are one-of-a-kind, just like you.
Imagine this: you're serenaded by soft, elegant live music as you walk down the aisle. During your cocktail hour, your guests are buzzing with excitement while live acoustic renditions of your favorite tunes fill the air. And when it's time to crank up the volume, you watch your friends and family flood the dance floor as our all-out DJ set keeps the party going all night long.
If you're eager for a wedding day soundtrack that perfectly matches your vibe, all wrapped up in a unique and uncompromising entertainment package, look no further.

Joseph and Erika were fantastic for our wedding! They were very professional during our planning stage, and very detail oriented. When we had questions they were responsive with answers. We had a call with them in the lead up to our wedding to review all the details of the day.
The day of our wedding Joseph and Erika were fantastic. They helped with music for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. From our previous conversations they were able to determine the vibe for music we were going for. They did a fantastic job of reading the crowd and keeping energy up throughout the night. Both us and the guests loved the sing alongs at the end of the night. We got so many compliments from guests about how much they enjoyed the music. We would highly recommend Joseph and Erika!
I cannot recommend Joseph and Erika enough! They are the perfect combination of DJ and live music, and their talent shows in both areas. They were super helpful from the start by answering all our questions and helping us tailor the experience to our budget. When it came to actually planning the event, they were thorough and thoughtful. They did a great job selecting music that fit our vibe when we had decision making fatigue, and nailed it with the dance floor playlist. We've been getting nothing but compliments from our guests about how much fun they had, especially during the end of the night acoustic singalong - it was the perfect way to close out the evening. I'm so glad we picked them and can't thank them enough for the wonderful job they did!!
They just did our wedding and they were AMAZING! They kept the party going! Highly recommend!
After listening to many musicians on the internet, we decided to hire Joseph to play at our wedding ceremony, cocktail hour and dinner, since we really liked his voice and performances that we saw. It turned out that it was the best choice we could have made.
He was very professional right from the beginning and arranged a phone call with us to share our ideas and vision for our wedding before providing us with a clear and concise contract. He then gave us his user-friendly event App, which allowed us to select specific songs for the different parts of our wedding ceremony and reception. Through the App we were even able to provide information for him to use as our Master of Ceremonies (MC) for the event.
Although Joseph has an extensive list of songs in his repertoire, there was one particular song we wanted him to perform for our first dance that wasn’t on his list. He was more than happy to learn this specific song just for us and we just loved the version he came up with.
On the morning of the wedding, Joseph arrived over an hour early to set up his equipment in both the ceremony and reception venues. His beautiful voice, skillful guitar playing and very pleasant personality during the ceremony and reception was enjoyed by everyone. We couldn’t have asked for a better singer guitarist. All of our guests told us how much they enjoyed his music, and how he made our wedding extra special. His MC skills were also very impressive. We strongly recommend hiring Joseph for any event where you need a very reliable, friendly and professional musician with a beautiful voice! Thank you very much Joseph for making our wedding so special!!
Music was a cornerstone to our celebration. Erika & Joseph delivered a polished, uniquely us, and ultimately perfect experience. We are lucky to know Erika and would recommend her to ANYONE for any event.
Theresa amount of compliments we received during and after our ceremony confirmed we made the right decision.
Thank you, Erika!
Absolutely phenomenal! Joseph and Erika are not just a wedding band; they are true musical magicians who made our special day utterly unforgettable. From the moment they started playing acoustic melodies during our cocktail hour and dinner, their talent and warmth set the perfect tone. Their music added such a special touch, creating an ambiance that was both intimate and enchanting.
As the evening progressed, they seamlessly transitioned into high gear with their full band, igniting the dance floor and turning our celebration into an epic party! Their ability to read the vibe of our guests was uncanny—they played the perfect mix of songs that kept everyone on their feet and filled the air with infectious energy.
Joseph and Erika's professionalism and genuine passion for what they do shone through every note they played. Their musical prowess is matched only by their wonderful personalities; they felt like part of our wedding family from the very beginning.
Our guests haven't stopped raving about them since. Every comment we've received has been overflowing with praise for the band's talent and the incredible atmosphere they created. Without a doubt, Joseph and Erika were the heartbeat of our wedding day, and we are endlessly grateful to them for making it as magical as it was. If you're looking for a wedding band that will elevate your day to unforgettable heights, look no further—they are simply the best!
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!
Having worked closely with Joseph and Erika on numerous different types of events, I highly recommend them for live music and DJ entertainment! Erika and I have had the pleasure of playing many shows together over the years, and each time, she has brought an unparalleled level of professionalism and energy to the space, both as a DJ and as a lead singer/frontwoman. She and her duo partner Joseph make a truly dynamic duo. Their ability to adapt to the mood and preferences of any crowd is truly impressive. You can catch them playing laid back acoustic tunes for ceremonies and cocktail hours, crushing a DJ set (with live vocals) and playing high energy singalongs... all in the same night. I have recommended Joseph and Erika to a number of my clients as well, and they consistently come back to thank me for the recommendation and mention their engaging performance style and easy-going nature which makes them a breeze to work with. 10/10, they're the best.
Joseph and Erika are incredibly talented musicians ! We loved having the duo at our cocktail hour and DJ at our reception. Us and all of our guests had a blast!
Their lighting was beautiful and really made a bit of a stage eyesore look really cool - it really amplified our space
We also appreciated that they came up with an idea to have our bridal party on the dance floor during our first dance to pull attention from the stage, and they had SUCH a fun sendoff idea from the dance floor since we didn’t have a sparkler sendoff!
It was the best day ever and we loved working with this team!
The best decision we made for our wedding! We got married on Nantucket and we’re struggling with DJ selections so our Wedding Planner recommended Joseph & Erika. We are SO happy that we selected these two as they were incredibly professional, had wonderful recommendations for our big day, and did an amazing job meeting our requests and keeping everyone on the dancefloor!
Joseph & Erika were the best of both worlds for our big day, playing both live music and also switching to DJing during the reception. We opted to have them join us for our Cocktail Hour for live music and our guests could not stop talking about how lovely of an addition they were. During our reception, they did a perfect job MC’ing and keeping the evening moving along with great live-background music, and after keeping up a fun dancefloor, they played a private last dance for us and it was magical! We couldn’t have been happier with the music and service they provided - 11/10 recommend!
RUN! don't walk to the nearest phone and book Joseph & Erika for your wedding. They were absolutely stunning and provided my wife and I with the best experience on our wedding night. It all started from the beginning with an informative and engaging phone call. Once we had 'em booked we were able to discuss and share our musical desires for the evening which then led to Joseph & Erika curating an amazing set list for us. The reception included a mix of live music and DJ'ing which honestly, hits just right. They accommodated the venue and our guests wonderfully. They were flat out awesome to work with. Consider the search for your wedding musical vendor over!
Joseph and Erika have been the talk of our post wedding buzz! Everyone LOVED and I mean LOVED the music!! Not only were they able to do our individual requests but they had the perfect blend of music for all ages (Motown and 2000s R&B/pop). My husband and I have a more alternative and rock music palate so the typical wedding playlist really wasn’t our vibe so Joseph and Erika had their work cut out for them and DAMN did they deliver!!! The ability to switch between DJ and Live was seamless and added to the magic of the whole night. I cannot say enough good things about their performance. No matter your music taste, if you can’t decide between a DJ and a Live band - go with these folks. Seriously, they personalized every element and answered every email with so much care and professionalism. I wish I could host another event to have them perform. Five stars all the way!
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 + 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 were incredible! They were flexible about what songs could be done live and even went through the trouble of learning a couple songs just for our wedding. The ability of being able to do live music for the ceremony and cocktail hour and then have Erika DJ for the reception was just what we wanted. Thank you guys so much for helping to make our night so special.
Joseph and Erika were absolutely amazing at our wedding. From the initial booking process to the day of, they were helpful and professional. On our wedding day they showed up prepared and ready to go. They are extremely talented and our guests were blown away at their music. They even surprised us by learning an additional song for my husband and MILs dance. I really can’t say enough great things about them!
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!!
Best decision of our entire planning process. Before the wedding, Joseph And Erika proved to be professional and thoughtful. Their talent exceeded our expectations! Everyone couldn't stop talking about how great they were even weeks after the wedding! I can not say enough good things about them.
Both Joseph and Erika were incredible to work with. They are so talented and made sure we knew how everything would work day of the wedding. They customized a duet version of what we wanted for our first dance and it sounded amazing! They read the room and adjusted to what people liked whether it was more live music or dj. Leading up to the big day they were very accommodating to help us craft a list of potential songs(we were for the most part undecided so it was nice to have that support). All in all they were talented and professional and we felt confident in our decision to hire them. They definitely delivered!!
Joseph & Erika are incredibly talented and have a broad range of musical capability. We loved their hybrid acoustic + DJ set and it fit our wedding perfectly -- though we have no doubt they're capable of fitting in at a completely different kind of wedding!
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!
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 Baby Boomers 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!
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Joseph and Erika. From start to finish they were truly amazing to work with! They were always available to answer any questions and worked very hard to make our wedding everything we hoped for and more! We started our night with live music for cocktail hour, dinner, and cake cutting. They nailed the vibe we were going for flawlessly. We then transitioned into DJ for most of the dancing before ending with another live music set! My guests were raving about how wonderful the music was! Myself and my husband and all our guests were on the dance floor all night! You cannot go wrong with Joseph and Erika, they’re the best!
Joseph and Erika were both very professional and a pleasure to work with! Not only are they so much fun to listen to but they’re very attentive to detail, organized and they were great to communicate and coordinate our wedding reception with! If you’re considering booking them for your next event, go for it! You won’t regret it!
Joseph & Erika are the BEST - we cannot say enough good things about them! We had been undecided about live music vs. DJ and were so happy that we found Joseph & Erika and could have both for a very reasonable price. They are incredibly talented musicians with a wide repertoire of music for their live performance. They even created a new version of our wedding song for us so that we could swing dance to it. During the DJ part, they did a great job creating fun energy for the dance floor. Throughout the process, they were professional, responsive and easy-to-work-with, and genuinely cared about making our day special and go smoothly. Many of our guests commented on how unique and talented Joseph & Erika were and how much fun they had at the reception. Highly recommend hiring them for any event!
Joseph + Erika were incredible and we feel so lucky to have found them!! They were one of the best parts of our wedding. So talented, super nice, very willing to do silly things when asked, and great at reading the room. They truly did it all! Perfect dinner/cocktail hour vibes with slower power ballads and then great transition to DJing for dancing! We were so happy to have had them at our wedding!!
