We hired Sweep the Leg Entertainment to perform acoustic guitar at our ceremony/cocktail hour, followed by a DJ set. They were unbelievable in all aspects. I had numerous guests come up to me after cocktail hour stating "they sounded so good ...
I thought that was a DJ playing acoustic songs until I realized there were two guys in the corner playing live music." Besides keeping everyone on the dance floor all night, they were nothing but professional in all senses especially after we had to reschedule our reception from September 2020 to August 2021. Don't look any further and don't settle for a cheaper DJ. These guys are worth every penny and more!

I needed to write a review for Sweep the Leg because they were such a big part of our wedding day! We planned the wedding from out of state so it was sometimes hard to contact and book vendors. I reached out early and Josh was super responsive....
Unfortunately, we had to postpone the wedding a year and they accommodated us without issue which was a huge relief. The day of our wedding was actually the first time we met! They are just genuinely nice guys all around and Josh is hilarious! Prior to Josh had us fill us fill out a worksheet to get a feel for the type of music we like. He also sent us a link to create a Spotify list of music for him to pick from and honestly the process of just picking songs was so fun. They provided music for our ceremony, did a live acoustic set for our cocktail hour and DJ'd the whole reception. Josh knew exactly how to get people on the dance floor and loosen up to have a good time. One of my favorite moments was when he played a classic Portuguese song and it got all of the family up and dancing. I honestly had a complete blast and was on the dance floor all night. I had so, so much fun and wish I could relive that night again and again. I could not have asked for a better team for my wedding. Do not hesitate, book them now!! Thank you so incredibly much guys ♥

phenominal during our wedding. My wife and I had very specific requests, Josh and Tom made them come true flawlessly and appeared effortlessly. We asked them to play a specific acoustic version of a song during the ceremony. Our guests cried so many tears of happiness, my wife and I surfed away from the alter. Then we asked them to play a live set for the cocktail hour. Crushed it. Finally, finishing up and killing a DJ set for us during the reception, comparable to Tiesto and Avicii. They were an absolute blast to work with. The quality of these two professionals is top notch. I've been asked numerous times about who "the band" was at our wedding and that they absolutely rocked the house down. SWEEP THE LEG, You guys are awesome! Keep doing you and keep the great vibes going! Looking forward to seeing you guys in Boston on weekends! Will always refer my New England friends to you for all their rocking out, DJ crushing needs!

n't want to give up on having live music. After a bit of research, we came across Sweep the Leg and they were able to give us the best of both worlds. We had Tom play acoustic guitar for our ceremony, Josh and Tom perform as a live duo for cocktail hour, and then DJ for reception and dance party. They were extremely easy to work with and were very patient as we took forever to choose our music and made changes up until the week before the wedding. Tom learned two new songs on guitar for our ceremony and our guests were raving about Josh's beautiful voice. Loved that we could collaborate on shared Spotify playlists and they played every one of our 'must play' songs. One of my bridesmaids has already booked them for her wedding next year. Highly recommended for couples who are looking for a DJ/Live Music mix and local talent in the Southern NH/ME area. Thanks so much!

I am an audio engineer by trade, and was pretty set on having a live band for my wedding. Unfortunately the venue we decided on did not have the space to facilitate a band. We spent a lot of time interviewing wedding DJs, attempting to explain ...
to them exactly what we wanted. The majority of them didn’t listen to me or my concerns when it came to the specific venue.
The venue was multi tiered and I was concerned about coverage for things like the speeches and the first dance etc… MOST DJ’s simply said, “It will be fine, we’ll just turn up the speakers on the main stage level.” This was not the answer I wanted as they would be buried in a corner and I don’t care how loud you can make it, there is no way to make it both audible to the above and below levels while not making it deafening on the Main Level.
Sweep the Leg’s Josh and Tom were very responsive to this issue and brought in additional satellite/ delay speakers to give a clean and crisp sound to everyone both seated and dancing. At no point over the course of the evening did I need for them to turn down or turn up. The volume was always proper to the point were you could converse at the tables and on the dance floor but still enjoy the music.
They also did an amazing singer/songwriter style performance outdoors for our cocktail hour, which scratched my proverbial live performance itch.
They were also extremely accommodating to the music we wanted played. My wife and I spent a very long time putting together the playlist we wanted with “Dinner” “Dance” and “Absolutely must be Played” songs and they did not deviate one bit to our extremely specific requests.
They even went out of their way to help us to cut down an 8-minute Mother/Son Dance song to a much more tolerable 3:30 without cutting any of the parts I wanted to make sure were heard.
If I were to do it all again, I would have done it the same way! Thanks guys, for everything!
Sincerely,
Paul Higgins

ith audio equipment, and also ensured that our officiant was good to go with her mic for the outdoor ceremony. These are details that we didn't really think about, so these guys were lifesavers.
One thing we loved about Josh and Tom from the get go is that they can both play their own music and also DJ. We went and saw them for Sunday Brunch at Bostonia in Boston (which I'd highly recommend doing regardless of whether or not you have upcoming nuptials) and realized right away that they would be perfect for cocktail hour. Our guests loved their song selection and would not stop telling us how awesome they were. As for the reception, they made it perfect. They are not only energetic and fun, but also super organized. They really gave us a sense of confidence that everything was under control, and we could unwind and have fun with our guests.
I can't emphasize enough how great these guys are as a wedding band/DJ, but also as people. They seamlessly fit into our group, getting along great with everyone and ramping up the energy. They were also incredibly easy to work with and super flexible. We collaborated on a playlist on Spotify, and 99% of the songs we picked out were already on their playlist, which made us feel like we really didn't even need to worry about the music piece.
It's been 3 weeks and we're still getting compliments about Josh and Tom - I really can't recommend them enough!

Hi! Josh (left) and Tom (right) here! Just a couple guys (cousins actually) that were born and raised in the Lakes Region of NH. We've entertained at dozens and dozens of weddings with bands and as DJs; we love making people laugh, smile and just have a great time. We noticed there weren't many DJs in NH that could offer the live music services couples wanted for their ceremony or cocktail hour. That's when we decided to create our new business to bring a live music feel at DJ prices. To us, there's no better feeling than watching the smiles on the couples' faces. Thanks for looking. :-)
