We had our wedding at The Essex Club and it was truly flawless from start to finish. The venue itself is beautiful, but what really made the experience exceptional was the level of care that went into every single detail. From the very beginning, Jessica in sales was incredible. She was organized, responsive, and genuinely invested in making sure our day turned out exactly the way we envisioned it. No matter how many questions we had or how many little tweaks we wanted to make, she always handled everything with patience, kindness, and complete professionalism. She made the entire planning process feel so easy. The day-of staff was just as amazing our bridal attendant Jalissa and the maître D Rob were both attentive and on top of everything without ever being intrusive. The rest of the staff ran everything so smoothly and make sure every detail was perfect. Our guests are still talking about how delicious the food was, we went to all the show cases that we could and picked off experience, from cocktail hour all the way through dessert. Every dish was fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. We couldn’t have asked for a better venue or a better team.

It was an absolute treat to work alongside Marybeth during our most recent collaboration. Her beautiful photography is just the tip of the iceberg. Marybeth is professional, imaginative, true to her word, and passionate about her work. Our photoshoot took place on a rather dreary, cloudy, summer day. Yet, Marybeth was able to transform the ambiance into a magical, thrilling, and romantic scene with her photography. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for photos to treasure for years to come.

AMP DJ/BAND HYBRID is a boutique event company owned & operated by husband & wife team, Jimmy & Ana Salvemini. Having performed around the world with Gloria Gaynor, Luther Vandross, and George LaMond to name a few, the Salveminis were looking for an innovative way to bring that same quality of showmanship and professionalism to your special event! Our DJ/BAND HYBRIDs are carefully crafted to your needs giving you limitless musical possibilities!

Awarded Best of Zola
Ana & Jimmy were in a different league from the moment we met them. On our first Zoom, they listened to everything I said about our taste and our vibe… and then gently told me that our beloved saxophonist idea didn’t match anything we had described. They recommended a guitarist instead— and thank goodness, because they were absolutely right. Their planning process was incredibly thoughtful.. and for me, hilarious. Their music surgery? Thorough and genius, and apparently visible to them before you hit submit. Which meant they saw me type things like “Haed pass,” “No thank you,” and “What even is that??” Live. Thankfully, they have incredible senses of humor. They checked in multiple times, did a full site visit, and showed up with a sound team who stayed all night to make sure everything was flawless. They even coordinated our private outdoor first dance with our violinist while sending the music inside to guests — seamlessly. But the reception is where they catapulted into untouchable territory. They don’t just sing and DJ… they perform. Including: * the full, committed N’SYNC “Bye Bye Bye” choreography * A Blink - 182 elder millennial scream-along that transported us back to 2003 * Coming onto the dance floor to hype everyone * Interacting with guests like they’ve known us forever. I don’t dance— and I was on that dance floor all night. Our guests are still texting us about how unreal the band was and we’ve heard “best wedding I’ve ever been to” on multiple occasions. My only genuine disappointment is that the wedding is over and I don’t get to hang out with Ana and Jimmy anymore. Hire AMP DJ/BAND HYBRID. Thank me later

Jerry works hard to make sure his customers are happy and well taken care of throughout the planning process and the event. Jerry and the Mermaid is my go to location when organizing outings for my school groups and fishing club. It is impressive that Jerry makes a point to speak to and check in on his customers during their dining experience.
