Based in New York City, The Hook Club is one of the tri-state area's most exciting and unique wedding bands.

Their unconventional group has mastered the art of creating a great dance party that keeps guests on the dance floor all night and then humming the songs the next day!

Awarded Best of Zola
The Hook Club was by far the coolest musicians I was able to find in terms of having an NYC night out vibe, and not a typical "wedding" vibe. We had a bass and guitar duo for our cocktail hour. They were super nice and awesome musicians. It started raining an hour into our cocktails so we had to move inside, and the bassist switched to playing a piano so that we could continue the music inside. Everyone was so impressed by how multi-talented they were!! Loved them and wish we had them play music for more of our reception. Dan, the founder, as well as the rest of their staff were incredibly organized and attentive throughout the planning process. Highly recommend!!

Franklin, Belmary, and Flip did an amazing job! They are so talented and our venue, the Capitol Rotunda, really highlighted them. For not rehearsing with us at all, it was a flawless execution of the ceremony. True professionals! I very much appreciated them, their time, and their talent.

The Metropolitan Players

5.0

New York, NY
  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $12,000

The Metropolitan Players are a NYC-based wedding band collective, created by a husband and wife team, with a mission to help you make musical memories. Music is tied to memory, and shouldn’t be taken lightly when planning your wedding. Your guests will remember those moments on the dance floor with their loved ones, where the rest of the world melted away for a few hours. THAT’S why we do what we do. We want your guests to leave saying, “that was the best wedding we’ve ever been to.”

Awarded Best of Zola
THE DANCE FLOOR WAS PACKED, ALL NIGHT. The Metropolitan Players are amazing!! We’re so glad we chose them for our wedding. We worked with Mandy throughout the process, Siobhan was our day of coordinator, and the band members were all wonderful. We love live music - a band who can command the room, having as much fun on stage as the guests dancing below. They sang their hearts out, had fun horn solos, and would lock eyes with me (bride) like a concert, and we’d do the rock and roll hand sign to each other. It was SO much fun. Our guests LOVED the band. When we were gathering ourselves before our first dance, we looked at each other and said wait a second, is that OUR wedding band?! Playing our first dance song?! Do I hear horns?! They’re so good!! How lucky are we! People would come up to us and say holy cow did you hire a 30 person wedding band?! No, of course not, but they had the presence and sound that carried as if they were a much larger band. REPEAT CUSTOMERS - A bit about our process - we went to a number of showcases in NYC, where wedding bands play live, so you know what you’re getting before hiring them. We got a ton of quotes (15). We parsed through bands we’d seen at other weddings. We saw many bands who were much worse live than they were in their videos - scary when you’re booking them for one very important day! When first engaging with the Met Players, we were nervous because they don’t do any live showcases (they cost a lot of money and don’t want to pass that financial burden onto couples in final booking costs.) We thought - how can we be sure they’re great if we can’t hear them live? We went back and forth with Mandy (couple coordinator) to get comfortable. We scoured the internet and any tagged videos on YouTube and Instagram. Unlike other bands, they post unedited content, so the sound is what you’d actually hear the night of (shot on iPhone speakers). We read every review we could find on the internet. We spoke to couples who’d worked with them in the past. Ultimately, while all the research and people we spoke to did wonders to help us get comfortable, the final piece that sold us was the number of repeat customers. Many reviews were from friends or family of a couple that hired the Met Players in the past, who loved them so much that they booked them for their own. Families who’d worked with the Met Players two and three times. Everyone had great things to say so we took a leap of faith. And we are SO glad we did!! The unedited videos don’t do justice for what they sound like in person - they’re much better! END TO END A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE We can’t say enough good things about the Met Players. They’re spectacular, seem to be having as much fun as the guests, have great energy, are amazing performers, and are exceptionally organized and informative throughout the process. We asked them to learn a few new songs for us (including, importantly, our first dance song) and each one felt like they’d been playing it for years - they were that good. They paired our first dance song down to be our desired length - even better than the original! We had a guitarist play during our ceremony, acoustic and beautiful, and not two hours later were tearing up the dance floor. The dance floor was packed all night! If we were to plan our wedding again knowing what we know now, we’d choose the Met Players again, every time. We’re so grateful for everything you did to make our wedding special and feel like us. Thank you!!

As homegrown, native NYC-based wedding DJs, we allow the music to speak for itself in a way that is organic and authentic. We keep things simple and straightforward so you can focus on the most important part of it all — marrying your partner, soulmate and best friend. What you won’t get? A stereotypical, cheesy DJ stealing the spotlight and breaking up the music with bad jokes and unnecessary interruptions. You deserve better. Expect a personal and individualized celebration with great music, precise attention to detail and a fun-filled dance party — all based on 15 years of wedding experience.

The Showmance Band

New York, NY
  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $1,500

Classy Jazz with that Old Hollywood charm. JB & the Showmance Band is a Jazz Ensemble covering a wide range of styles. Soulful melodies and fascinatin' rhythms will add magic to your event, party or session. JB & the Showmance Band features Broadway-caliber vocalists, songs that never get old and the top Jazz musicians in NY & LA and beyond. JB & the Showmance Band has combos to cater to the many tastes of Jazz through history. 1920s and Gatsby-themed music, Cafe Paris Jazz Combos, New Orleans & Dixieland Bands, Sinatra & Tony Bennett-styled groups, and Jazz Quintets, Quartets, & Trios. Cheers!

The Showmance Band, a jazz ensemble with a penchant for covering a wide variety of music from the 1920s and Gatsby-themed tunes, recently graced the stage at a wedding event held at the Legacy Castle in New Jersey. As a vendor at the event, I had the distinct pleasure of witnessing firsthand the immense talent and showmanship of this exceptional band. It was clear from the outset that the Showmance Band had the crowd at their fingertips, as women were grabbing their husbands to dance and people were soaked in sweat from the sheer joy of dancing to the group's infectious rhythms. With their world-class musicianship, impeccable attire, and undeniable physical attractiveness, the players exuded an effortless cool that left the audience enraptured. What impressed me most about the Showmance Band, however, was the remarkable cohesion and tightness of their performance. They were clearly a well-oiled machine, each member contributing their unique musical voice to create a seamless, electrifying whole. This level of musicianship can only be achieved through years of dedicated practice and a deep understanding of one another's strengths and weaknesses. At the heart of this incredible ensemble is the band leader JB, whose spectacular performance was truly a sight to behold. With his captivating presence and dynamic energy, he commanded the stage with a confidence and grace that is the hallmark of a true musical master. In my years of attending live performances, I have never encountered a more exceptional and engaging live performer. In short, the Showmance Band is a jazz ensemble that represents the very pinnacle of musical excellence. Their performance at the Legacy Castle in New Jersey was nothing short of awe-inspiring, and I would recommend them without hesitation to anyone seeking an unforgettable musical experience.

Choosing a DJ for our wedding was hands down the scariest part of the planning process. We knew that a stellar DJ was imperative for a successful reception, and DJ Matty not only met but exceeded every expectation, making our dream day a reality! Early in the planning, Matty shared an app that was a game-changer to how we approached music for the entire day. This app became our musical headquarters, allowing us to build playlists on Spotify and seamlessly upload them and was so incredibly helpful throughout the process. In our final meeting leading up to the wedding, it was crystal clear just how seriously Matty took his role. He meticulously walked through every moment, discussing our music choices and must-plays to fully grasp the vibes we wanted for each part of the day. Any concerns we had about a surprise bad DJ vanished after that meeting. Beyond being our DJ, Matty also provided uplighting and live musicians for our ceremony and cocktail hour. They flawlessly played the unique songs we chose, setting the perfect tone. Matty's MC skills were phenomenal, keeping the reception flowing smoothly without any cringe-worthy moments – a vital quality for us. I might be biased, but our dance floor was the best I've ever seen. Matty effortlessly got everyone, from all age groups, onto the dance floor, blending our unique song choices with crowd-pleasers that kept the floor packed all night. Even my teenage nieces had the time of their lives! We've received countless compliments from guests about the fantastic music, and we owe it all to Matty. We are immensely grateful for him making our wedding the best day of our lives and will undoubtedly hire him again for future events!

The Brooklyn Beats

New York, NY
  • Band or Ensemble

The Brooklyn Beats is the inaugural event/wedding band founded by music industry veteran, Jon Shiffman. Jon is best known for his live work as a drummer for Grammy winner Jack Antonoff in the bands Steel Train and Bleachers. He has toured all over the world and his drumming can be heard on various National TV Commercials, and is featured in the 2024 release of Paramount Pictures’ Mean Girls movie. Since even before leaving the touring life in 2015, Jon has been a fixture in the New York private event/wedding band scene and has been a drummer, band leader, talent booker and event producer for the biggest agencies and bands in the area.

Do not sleep on booking The Brooklyn Beats! I’m positive this will be the most popular wedding band in NYC very soon! I was a big fan of Jon’s old band, Steel Train, and also saw him play drums when he was with Bleachers in 2015. Since then I’ve followed him on social media and when I heard he started his own wedding/event band, I couldn’t believe it lined up with me looking for a band for our big day! We debated a DJ versus a live band—but wow a live band is the way to go. They play every style of music which has everyone from your older relatives to your youngest friends singing and dancing for the ENTIRE night. The talent is unreal and the energy of a live band brings a night to a new level. Wish I could give more than 5 stars.

At our cocktail hour, many of our friends started to sing out loud the lyrics to the songs being played. It was one of our favorite moments of the wedding. They were also super friendly. We waited until the last minute to book them and could not be any more happy with their performance.

We’re an original band at heart with big dreams, but we’re also just passionate about playing music together in general. We started doing a few cover shows for fun and really enjoyed ourselves and making people dance & have a great time. After learning dozens of songs we curated, we decided to start playing as a cover/wedding band. We have a lot of heart and always try to bring the best possible energy to each performance we do. We mostly do billboard hits covers in various styles, decades and genres. We try and stay true to the sound and feel of the original recording but also try to modernize it and give it our own subtle unique spin.

Found the band after seeing them play @ The Red Lion In Downtown, New York and was blown away by their sound and style. So I reached out to them to play my wedding reception and they absolutely killed it. They played our favorite song “Kiss Me” by Sixpence none the richer for our first dance and it was a really priceless moment. They’re also really friendly and easy to communicate with. I would definitely recommend them to play your wedding or event!

As a homegrown, native NYC-based wedding DJ, I allow the music to speak for itself in a way that is organic and authentic. With an elegant & refined approach, I accommodate any eclectic flavor and curate a tasteful wedding celebration all based on your musical preferences. What you won’t get? A stereotypical, cheesy DJ stealing the spotlight and breaking up the music with bad jokes and unnecessary interruptions. You deserve better. Expect a personal and individualized celebration with great music, precise attention to detail and a fun-filled dance party — all based on 15 years of wedding experience.

Joe met with us many times to ease our concerns before our wedding, then did a great job hosting and selecting which tunes to play when. Highly recommend!

We saw the Jon Bates Band perform at our friends' wedding in Vermont a number of years ago. My now-husband and I knew (before we were even engaged!) that we wanted these guys to play our wedding, should we get to that point together. Fortunately, they travel all over and were happy to come to Delaware for our 10/5/2019 wedding. Communication was smooth throughout the entire process, and they were completely open to working with us on our song list and catering to what we really love most. Their rendition of our first dance song was spot-on to what we hoped it would be. They played a consistently strong set all night and had everyone - and I mean everyone! - up and dancing. I can honestly say that it could not have gone better, nor could we have enjoyed it more. I highly recommend this group of talented musicians.

The Sugartone Brass Band has been playing private events since 2002. Our first private event was a Christmas Party thrown for the workers of a warehouse owned by a family of Hasidic Jews in Brooklyn. Needless to say, no event is too ‘unique’ for us to handle. From tasteful ceremonial music to fun dance grooves, let us help you celebrate your wedding in style.

Our wedding had different pieces given it was planned during the covid-19 vaccination rollout so we decided to bridge our ceremony on a boat with family to a larger reception at a venue four blocks away. We discussed our vision of having the band warm up of reception guests and parade all of us to the venue. Kenny was so easy to coordinate with regarding our song requests and they were incredible! They even play led happy birthday to some special guests before leaving. Our vibe for vendors was 'good vibes only' and we lucked out with the perfect energy for moment - crucial for our day. Weeks later and our friends and family are still talking about a band that played for two hours of a long party.
