Introduction

We provide both live and recorded entertainment in two very popular tourist areas during the year; Cape Cod to Boston, MA during spring, summer & fall; Southwest, FL (Naples, Fort Myers, Islands during the winter.) Cape and Islands Entertainment located on Cape Cod has +20 local reviews with a (4.9/5 points) customer approval rating. Cape & Isles Entertainment in Florida has +20 customer reviews with a (4.9/5 points) customer approval rating. So how did we get these high approval ratings? First, we believe that it's important to work closely with our clients in order to determine their vision and preferences in music and atmosphere for every event; whether it's a wedding, anniversary, conference, or other special event. (e.g. - Some of our brides have chosen virtually every song for their wedding.) Also, we are able to provide a wide variety of entertainment options; from acoustic guitar solos, to live vocals, to standard DJ services and Karaoke. Known by many on the East and West Coast as The Singing DJs, we are versatile. We have worked in many different venues: from small family parties, to clubs, to very large weddings and conferences for several hundred people. We are often asked to sing during cocktail hours and for special dances at weddings and other events; then play upbeat music to get the dancing started, and then finish up with a karaoke show. We do it all for one competitive price. Our equipment is excellent, reliable and backed up. We have JBL & ROLAND Active speakers; a Mackie Stereo Amplifier and Shure Mics. Three MAC computers (with wifi) provide the foundation for our dance music, and karaoke shows. We have our karaoke and dance songs available on our computers with the ability (wifi) to download requests on the spot. We're a family operated business. My wife, Mary, daughter Emilie, and I are all singers and we're very well educated. (Doctorate, CAGS and Masters +30) Whether we are helping a bride and groom choose special songs for their wedding; or helping active adults with their special event, we always try to listen attentively and provide appropriate support so that our customers vision for their event, will become our vision. In that way, we know we will meet their needs for quality entertainment.

Ron is a wonderful DJ to work with. He is laid back and really focuses on creating a musical environment that suits the wants and needs of his clients. He maintains an air of professionalism at all times. While he is sure to take care of all the little details that make for a successful and smooth reception, he always carries himself in a relaxed and jovial manner - two personal characteristics that I feel every soon-to-be bride and groom should be looking for in the people working with them for their big day . My wife and I began working with Ron nearly a year before our wedding. Within moments of meeting Ron I knew that he'd be the perfect DJ for us (and I bet he will be for yours too). Ron was quick and thorough in listening to the mood that we wanted to create through the music of our reception. During the year that we worked together Ron was sure to stay on task with us so that we'd get things done in a timely manner, yet maintained a level of amazing patience with us as we planned for such a special, yet dizzying event. Ron simply asked us to come up with a suggested play list for him so that he could get a feel or what it was that we were looking for. Once we did that, he was able to run with that list and expand it further, ensuring that there'd be more than enough music to last for two night's worth of celebrating. (Yes, we had Ron DJ our rehearsal and reception, because we liked him so much!) Days before the wedding, my wife and I met with Ron to go over our finalized list and to provide him with a course for which to 'follow.' Ron assured us that he'd get in all of our "Must Plays," stay away from our "Do NOT Plays," and be mindful in monitoring the pace and overall ambiance of the night to add in songs that he knew would keep things running well. Ron was also sure to be present the Thursday before our big day so that he could fully understand the time sequence that was created during our walk through for the day. To say that Ron did well with our rehearsal and reception would be an understatement; he NAILED it! He worked amazingly well in collaboration with our caterers, our reception venue organizers, our wedding party, our family, our guests, and anyone else imaginable. On a scale of 1 to 10, I'd give him a 9...MILLION! Lastly, Ron is very much a family man and a man of education. His daughter, Emily, was a tremendous asset in helping him plan and execute one of the best weddings I think many of our guests have ever attended. His wife was present to assist as well. As an educator myself, I was impressed with how well Ron carried his skills from his former career in education (Ron used to be a principal) into our big weekend. He tailored everything according to our wants and needs. In working with us, Ron was sure to make it so that everything was about US. And that's what your wedding day is all about. That, and good food, good drink, and great music for great dancing. Thanks Ron for making that last part truly great!

I am the President of the Burtonwood Association, a group of veterans who served in England during the WWII era. We recently completed our 22nd annual reunion with 110 in attendance. For our entertainment we chose to have karaoke. WOW, what a good decision as Ron and Mary provided more entertainment than we ever expected. Our 75-80 year old plus veterans and their ladies refused to leave at the scheduled time but continued singing and dancing. Ron and Mary made it all possible with their outstanding assortment of music. we would have them again next if they would come to Boise, Idaho!! They are the best karaoke team that I have been exposed to and highly recommend them for any fun occasion.

This was the 4th year in a row the Belchertown Lions Club has has hired Cape & Islands Entertainment for it's annual $20,000 Super Raffle extravaganza. Ron and Mary are true professionals in every sense of the term--complete with their state-of-the-art ability to download requested songs that might not happen to be in their extensive library of karaoke hits. No Wi-Fi? No problem!! Mary sets up her Smart Phone as a personal hotspot....and voila!! Both Ron and Mary can and do offer their own personal vocals---to get the Karaoke rolling with the sometimes timid crowd---a definite plus in my book when it comes to getting folks on their feet!! Great entertainment at fair and reasonable pricing---what more can we ask for? Not a thing...which is why they are our go-to group for an evening's entertainment!!

We Worked with The Singing DJ's for our office/client Christmas Party. Total we had approximately 70 people. Ron and Mary were awesome, I highly, highly, recommend them. I am very detail oriented, and had a lot of ideas about how I wanted each piece of the party to play out. We had many clients there, and to pull on this first time party off successfully was extremely important. The Singing DJ's worked with us every step of the way. We wanted to use nice oldies background music for the cocktail hour and Ron and Mary accommodated. We had several songs set to play for different employees and clients upon their arrival and again Ron and Mary navigated this seamlessly, which really added to the vibe of the entire party. The Singing DJ's real talents came out after dinner. We gave them a must-play list about 12 songs long, some of which they sang, and their vocals were a home run. The Singing DJ's were masters at reading the crowd and knowing when to keep the volume on a little lower and when to blast the sound and when to incorporate some karaoke and follow with a awesome vocal number. They kept people dancing all night and every time the music shifted, people had a smile on their face that basically said "oh wow, this is a great song to play right now." December 2014 will be here before we know it and we plan to contract with The Singing DJ's again. In addition to their musical talents, The Singing DJ's, throughout the whole process of planning this party, were honest, enthusiastic, and most importantly to me, genuine. We will be in touch with them soon enough.

Ron and his daughter Emilie have always provided excellent entertainment for our annual backyard parties for the past five years. In my opinion (and that of my family and friends) they are the best around and are like our own family. Ron and Emilie have beautiful voices themselves and fill in whenever there is a lull with our guests signing up to do karaoke songs. Additionally, their song lists are extensive. My guests have even commented that they have songs that most Karaoke DJs dont have. At our last party, we even have an impromptu wedding happen, and Ron and Emilie rolled with the flow and not only accommodated our requests, they helped to make this surprise wedding a memorable one for our guests. They are HIGHLY recommended. We wouldnt have anyone else do our parties!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
When customers want a series of events (for example a weekly or bi-weekly show) we discount our prices. Otherwise our prices are competitive in our market niche.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We listen to our customers, try to visualize their event and work hard to make sure we're a good fit for their event.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Lots & lots of experience over the years has taught me to plan carefully. For example, when we are going to provide entertainment in a new venue, as a rule we make it a point to go there beforehand to check it out. In that way we can get a feel for the place, the acoustics and atmosphere. As a result, we can be clear on the kind of speakers and equipment that we will need to meet their needs.
