If we had a Dollar for every time someone said ”how good Dan was at our wedding ” our wedding would have paid for itself! Dan takes great pride in what he does. We trusted him completely throughout the consultation period and on the night of our wedding and I am so glad we did because he played an evening of music we will never forget. Dan and NyWeddingDJ.net definitely delivered on his promise of making us dance! All of our guests danced their socks off all evening and he kept the excitement and energy going the whole night. Dan’s expertise and creativity came through and he has an incredible talent of being able to read the dance floor. So many of our guests commented on how much they loved the music. It was such a great feeling for us to be able to stand back for a moment in the evening and see everyone enjoying themselves so much. The night finished on such a high with all of us chanting for more . Massive thumbs up for Dan with Ny Wedding DJ.net! You played such an important role in creating the best possible day for us. We will be forever grateful. With love and so much gratitude

Mariachi Hidalgo N.Y.C

5.0

Astoria, NY
  • Band or Ensemble

Mariachi Hidalgo was founded in 2017 and is led by our Musical Director Hernan Hidalgo Treviño who is a first-generation musician within his family. At the age of 21, Hernan is New York City’s, as well as the East Coast’s, 1st ever “Youngest Musical Director of a Mariachi Band”. Hernan graduated from the CUNY of Hunter College as a Music and History major to better prepare himself for both the musical and culture of mariachi. Within the first 2 years, Mariachi Hidalgo has performed in some of New York's exclusive places. Hernan's main goal is to inspire and motivate other youths to continue this musical tradition of mariachi.

My name is Kiyoko Nakamura, my husband is Mexican American, and I am Japanese. We celebrated our 15-year Anniversary here in New York City on December 18th, 2021. (We are from California) I wanted to surprise my husband with a Mariachi Band (he loves Mariachi) that offered quality in service and performance. I have a M.M from Kyoto University for Music & Art, and I fully understand what I was looking for in a Mariachi band. I investigated each Mariachi band here in NYC, their quality as musicians, social media, reviews etc. Many mariachi bands stated, "they are the best" or "Number 1 in NEW YORK CITY", but I can assure you all from looking at their YouTube performances & social medias that they are NOT. A few did play back, had a CD recording of an actual PROFESSIONAL band in the background while these so called "Best in NYC" made it seem as if it was them performing, FALSE advertisement. Once I saw Mariachi Hidalgo NYC, directed person with a B.A in Music & History. (Having a degree in any accredited field is one way to ensure the person knows what they are offering.) I investigated everything about this ensemble before contacting. YouTube , Instagram, all their social medias in order to understand whom I was calling. After checking out everything, proper technique on their instruments and vocals, no play back, presentable, quality musicians. I knew this band was going to be AMAZING! From the moment I called to book them until the performance's date this is what I received. A very professional service to not just me but my husband and guests as well. Very detailed in terms of explaining the full booking process, punctual, proper technique on their instruments & voice, an amazing show that interacts with the crowd. This band had it all! Everyone loved it! Visual Aspect:/ Performance Technical playing, clean suits, well groomed, presentable. 100/100 If you are looking for a mediocre or an economical option or a group to just make noise regardless of how they sound. Then I would not recommend this band for your event. If, however, you are looking for a PROFESSIONAL band to make your special moments even more memorial. Then YES, I recommend this band too you, Mariachi Hidalgo NYC! You will not be disappointed. Overall: Quality, Punctual, Presentable, Professional, Show/Performance, Amazing service from start to finish. If we ever visit New York City again, we will definitely contract Mariachi Hidalgo again for all of our events. Best Regards, Kiyoko Nakamura Master's in Music, Kyoto University for Music & Art

We hosted our multi-cultural, Indian and American fusion wedding on November 20, 2021, and had an amazing experience working with Dhoom Events. Dhoom Events DJed and emceed our Baraat and reception, did sound for our ceremony, and lighting at the reception as well. We are so happy with the service at all of these events. They were very accommodating when we needed to postpone our wedding multiple times due to the pandemic. When the day finally came for us to have our event, everything was perfect. DJ Milin did a great job getting the energy levels up at the Baraat, even on a chilly day. The reception music was perfect. Milin worked with us ahead of the event to make sure we would have a good mix of Indian and American music so that guests from both sides across multiple generations had a good time. He also helped us think through the logistics and timing of events, with valuable input from his experience with similar events. He did an amazing job the day of reading the energy of the crowd and keeping people on the dance floor all night. Having good music that guests would want to dance to was something that was super important to us, and we are so happy that we chose Dhoom Events to DJ and emcee our events! After the event, we got so many compliments on the music and how fun the dance floor was.

The Hook Club team is THE BEST to work with. They are reliable, reasonable, fun, helpful, and most importantly, incredibly talented. We had a truly wonderful time working with Dan who runs the band (and also happens to be an incredibly talented musician). He was super flexible as we changed our wedding plans due to COVID, came to our wedding venue to make sure they could make the best use of the space and maximize acoustic quality, and had great suggestions. Dan also took the time to speak with our wedding planner and answer multiple questions, worked well with other vendors, and went above and beyond to make the night awesome (he even stayed to emcee the event as a surprise to us!) Furthermore, all of the venues we looked at knew The Hook Club said "you're in great hands with regards to acoustics--they really know their stuff." I cannot recommend this band enough.

We were so lucky to have Marcus as our DJ for our wedding! He is flexible, responsive, professional, and talented... we could not have found someone that was more perfect for us. Marcus took the time to get to know us and he easily understood what we were looking for. He suggested a few songs for the mom and son dance, and the song we ended choosing off the list was perfect. The worksheet and meetings were incredibly thorough and helpful in guiding us through the planning. We even had the honor of meeting his cat over zoom! When we discovered a small issue during the planning process completely unrelated to the music, Marcus offered to help even though it was above and beyond what he signed up for. He is truly kind. Our guests had an absolute blast on the dance floor on the day of the wedding. Lastly, we also rented our photobooth from him and we love the photos that we got to look at right after. We would 100% recommend Marcus and hope we get to stay friends. Thank you so so much for being a part of our day!

Kept the party alive and had everyone dancing throughout the night even people who we know normally don't dance. All of our guests kept asking us where did we find them and how amazing they were. If you are looking for a band, book The Metropolitan Players as they were the easiest, most organized, and friendliest to work with throughout the craziness of wedding planning, you won't regret it.

Skylark Music

5.0

Beacon, NY
  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $800
  • Serves Astoria, NY

Jesse and Justin have been playing music together since they met performing in a band at Disneyland in 2001. After moving to Beacon, NY around the same time, it made sense to start an official wedding music business to share their love of music with some of the many happy couples getting married in the Hudson Valley. One thing they love about playing music for weddings is the variety that is required of them. Every gig is different and they all happen on one of the happiest days of the clients' lives!

Awarded Best of Zola
Justin and Jesse performed at the outdoor cocktail hour for our wedding held in the Hudson Valley, and we were thrilled to have them play for us. Both my wife and I have a long history in the jazz scene (and played brass instruments in various groups into college), so we were thrilled to have Skylark Music perform a variety of classic jazz standards (and a few newer numbers) that were meaningful to us. Their repertoire is impressive, and the flexibility to perform songs as either accompanied vocal works or instrumental duets was likewise a big draw for us. Furthermore, they were always very responsive to our messages, friendly, and professional. If we held another event we wanted to make classy and enjoyable, we'd definitely contact Skylark again!

Music was the hardest decision for us when approaching vendor selection for our wedding. We wanted a chill vibe for our "rustic elegant" barn wedding, and music that would work for a relaxed family style dinner, dance floor for those who wanted to dance, and chilling by the fire pits with s'mores later. Ryan completely understood our vibe and delivered! His live music during dinner was amazing - we had heard his YouTube videos and they don't do justice to his live performance! Later Ryan switched from live music to DJing and he masterfully balanced the energy for all of our wedding guests. Guests could enjoy conversations at the table while still hearing each other, the dance floor was hoppin from little nieces and nephews up to grandparents and the fireside ambiance outside was on point. As an added bonus, his dance floor lights looked magical on the barn beams. This guy is the real deal, and is unique in the industry with both live and DJ music all in one! We would definitely hire him for any gig!

Awarded Best of Zola
Lucas was recommended to us as "the DJ you want to hire if you want someone you can trust to keep your dance floor full and to read the crowd to keep your party going," which immediately appealed to us. We live in Brooklyn, and got married in the Catskills, and found out that Lucas also DJs regularly at some of our favorite spots in Brooklyn. From our first contact with Lucas, he was responsive, kind, interested in getting to know us and our taste, and super professional. We connected on a personal level as well as on a musical one. Now, having had Lucas DJ our wedding and supply all of the audio equipment, we can't recommend him highly enough. The audio for our ceremony and speeches worked without a hitch (he also helped to professionally feed our ceremony audio/music into our livestream setup), Lucas knew exactly the right moments to take cues for music, and when the dance party began, he played great music that totally matched our vibe and tastes, and as promised, he kept the dance floor full all night (no small feat, especially because we downsized our wedding to 60 guests). In addition to being an excellent DJ, he's also a great guy to be around, and on your wedding day, it's really nice to feel like you are surrounded by people you want to spend time with. Multiple people came up to us to ask about Lucas during and after our wedding, because he was that exceptional. Hire him and you will be so glad you did! Couldn't ask for more in a DJ.

One thing about me, I’m going to leave a review! Having officiated several weddings over the years, I've witnessed a myriad of bands take the stage, but this particular band stands out. Living Jade’s remarkable blend of professionalism, talent, and passion elevated the atmosphere of the entire ceremony and reception. It’s refreshing to have musicians who understand volume control during the ceremony. I could actually hear myself think and I didn’t have to compete with their playing when moving the service along. Their ability to read the crowd, catering to both young and old, ensured the dance floor was never empty. The soulful melodies during the vows brought tears to many, and their vibrant tunes during the reception brought uncontainable joy. I wholeheartedly recommend them to any couple seeking a musical experience that resonates long after the last note. Exceptional in every sense!

We hired Elevation Band for our Wedding at the Kimmel Center on 5/18/24. I could write a novel on how amazing they were but will try to keep it brief. They are professional from start to finish (Lea was awesome to work with) and make your entire night from ceremony to cocktail hour to reception of the highest quality. The band is the perfect mix of amazing vocalists who complement each other so well and other top quality band members. The dance floor was packed all night to the extent the dance floor was shaking at one point. The ballads at the beginning of dinner service were breathtaking. We had multiple people come up to us saying they didn't know we were having Adele at our Wedding (shoutout to Emily for her amazing ballad). I could write something on each member because they are that good!! We knew we wanted an awesome band as that can make your wedding and Elevation did not disappoint. That is all anyone talked about all night, the next day, and all of this week. Don't think twice about booking them. If you have the opportunity, you must book them while you can!!

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.

Absolutely fantastic! Our wedding wouldn't have been the same without the incredible DJ services provided by Joe. From start to finish, he was the epitome of professionalism, guiding us through the planning process with patience and expertise. Extremely thankful for working with our super busy schedule. On the big day, he kept the dance floor packed and the energy high, seamlessly blending one hit after another. His ability to read the crowd and adjust the music accordingly was impeccable, ensuring that guests of all ages were on their feet and having a blast. Not only did he deliver on the music front, but we really appreciated how professional he was throughout the night. Joe kept announcements and comments minimal, which was what we requested but enough to keep the night going!

Whether it's today's hits, top 40, hip hop, classic rock, Motown, and all things in between, The Barnstorm can do it all - putting their own spin on everything they do.

Awarded Best of Zola
I looked forward to every Tuesday night when my friends and I would gather at Brother Jimmy’s Murray Hill to watch The Barnstorm and dance until we couldn’t feel our feet. I knew in 2017 that one day I would get married and I wanted to recreate this wonderful feeling that I would get every Tuesday night. WELL, joke’s on me because I got that feeling and more. I do not even have words for the atmosphere that The Barnstorm created on our wedding day. Leading up to that day, Brooks was INCREDIBLY attentive to the hundreds of questions that I bombarded him with on a daily basis. He walked me through pricing, how the first dances would go, what kind of music gets played during dinner – every question came with an immediate follow up and a “how are you doing?” – completely above and beyond what a typical wedding band would provide. And that was before our wedding day even happened! The day of was indescribable. The atmosphere provided by The Barnstorm was absolutely electric and had every single person on the dance floor from 8 pm to 1130 pm. I genuinely feel like our wedding was one of the best concerts I have ever been to. The band is absolutely magnetic. To top it off about one week after our wedding, as we were reliving the day, I get a text message from a friend saying “we booked your wedding band!”. They are THAT freaking good. If you want to have the best night of your entire life PLEASE look no further than The Barnstorm.

When we first looked into hiring a DJ, we thought it was as simple as picking someone to play music and get the dance floor going. But we were impressed with how much more there was to it, and Collins Entertainment had it all covered from start to finish! There were so many details that we had not considered, like doing a "farewell dance" towards the end of the night. They also offered perspectives that we had not considered, like the benefits of doing wedding party introductions since we had not done programs. Because there is a team of DJs and they take incredible notes, it also means that there is a seamless transition in case of any emergencies. Our original DJ had a family medical emergency, but his colleague was able to step in without missing a beat (pun intended). We highly recommend!

When I say that booking Vitamin M is the best decision you will make when planning your wedding, I mean it. Not a dash of hyperbole. I've been to a lot of weddings and Vitamin M is by far the best band I've seen. Our expectations were outrageously high and they somehow exceeded them. Each member of the band is exceedingly talented, and when they come together, it's magic. The dance floor was full from the moment they started until the venue was kicking us out of the space! JJ is super easy and professional to work with. He helps curate the playlist based on exactly the vibe you're going for. Not only that, they can read the room and shift things to ensure everyone is having the absolute best time. My mom made a reference to an album in her speech and without missing a beat, that was the first song they played afterward! Book them. Now.

Based out of Brooklyn, NY, DJ KDOT LIM (Kevin Lim) is a 20+ year professional open format DJ that brings a unique blend of nightlife, wedding, & event experience to the wedding process and day-of. With a DJ style thats both engaging & appropriate at all times, he understands not only what to play, but how and when to play it most effectively. Whether it be mainstream or alternative music, there will be dancing (and singing) ensuring your celebration is unforgettable. In addition to providing DJ services & sound equipment, Kevin will provide MC services, making any announcements and introductions throughout your reception.

Kevin is AMAZING!!! He DJed our wedding celebration in May 2024, and WOW - he was 100000% our dream DJ. We had eloped a year earlier, so our "vision" for the night was to have an epic dance party with all of our friends - Kevin understood this immediately, and delivered truly beyond our wildest imagination! He kept the vibes moving during cocktail hour, and then seriously BROUGHT THE PARTY. The dancefloor was packed for over 3 hours straight. It felt like every single person there asked us where we had found our DJ, and they couldn't believe the mixes he was doing on the fly!! From the moment I first reached out to him in January right up until the end of the event, Kevin was consistently professional, upbeat, and efficient. He replied to all communication quickly, and was SO thoughtful in his preparation. He provided a shared document months ahead of time so that we could share music and scheduling info, and on the night of the event it was so evident that he had paid attention to every single detail ever mentioned in the document, over Zoom, or on our site visit. Every single must-play song came on at the perfect time, he managed to source very specific remixes that I had mentioned, and he kept the night running on schedule with such a chill, stress-free, and adaptable vibe. Kevin even introduced us to his colleague Richie for dance lights when we were debating our lighting options, which also ended up being absolutely perfect! I cannot stress enough how collaborative and understanding Kevin is, how smooth the process was, and most importantly - what a KILLER DJ he is. He truly wants to deliver the night of your dreams. My heart felt like it was going to explode in the best way multiple times that night, because of all the incredible, better-than-you-could-ever-have-imagined dancefloor moments. I wish we had an excuse to do it all over again, I would work with Kevin again in a heartbeat!!!

Led by singer, songwriter, and recording artist Melody Rodriguez, the band can be heard in numerous styles such as Latin Pop, Boy Bands and 90’s nostalgia, while authentically performing standards and classics with powerhouse vocals.

Awarded Best of Zola
When looking for a band for a multicultural wedding, we knew they had to be special. Just the Melody was the first band we reached out to and it was clear from the onset that we didn’t have to look any further because we knew they were the ones. Throughout the entire experience, Melody and Edvin were an absolute dream to work with. They were incredibly responsive and took the planning process seriously while also keeping it fun. We were able to have multiple planning meetings where they clearly listened to our vision and more specifically the energy we were hoping to bring to the entire evening. Our wedding included multiple different musical moments that Just the Melody was able to provide with aplomb. The ceremony was romantic instrumental music that transitioned to modern pop instrumentals during the first half of the cocktail hour. Then a Mariachi band took over the second half of the cocktail hour with Melody providing gorgeous vocals for a few songs before the 12-piece band took over the magic for the rest of the night. The band with Edvin as MC matched the energy of our guests the entire night in a way we never expected. After our first dance, a beautiful rendition of Luis Miguel’s”Por Debajo De La Mesa”, the band moved right into a wondrous lineup of Latin music including Cumbia, Bachata, and Salsa that got our guests up and on their feet. From that point forward the dancing was nonstop with both American and Latin music filling the air. They also helped us celebrate the joining of our Jewish and Latino cultures by playing the Hora followed by La Vibora De La Mar. Edvin and Melody worked well with our venue to time our fathers’ speeches when our guests paused for a moment to eat and they were thoughtful with the tempo of the night by pairing this with our father/bride and mother/groom dances. After dinner they brought the energy right back up and we even got to see some of Edvin’s unreal dance moves when the 90s/2000s pop music started up. We could absolutely not believe it when they allowed us to come on stage and belt out one of our favorite songs (Jimmy Eat World’s “The Middle”). It was a living dream (especially for the bride). We cannot say enough how much both of us and all of our guests absolutely adored Just the Melody. We have been told multiple times by our guests that they didn't expect to go to a concert along with our wedding and that they loved every minute of it. And we did too. The music the entire evening was exceptional and better than anything we could have come up with in our wildest dreams for the evening. Thank you Melody, Edvin and the entire Just the Melody crew - we could not have chosen better for our wedding!!

Kelton from Marquee Artists was amazing! He was a communicative and active participant in the planning of the music and the announcements at my wedding on March 9. Kelton provided an extensive list of potential songs to play in a shared Google Document with columns for “play” and “do not play” which was great. Also, I was impressed that he attended the walk through of the Whittemore House a month prior to the wedding, asking pertinent questions of the Whittemore staff about the placement of various things and how best to provide the sound amplification that would be needed. He provided wireless mics which worked really well for the toasts. Kelton did a great job as the master of ceremony and his mix of the selected music was fun and fabulous. He had the crowd dancing, rocking to the music. Many of the older folks told me that they hadn’t danced in years but were having lots of fun doing so then. Having him on our wedding team instilled so much confidence in me, my daughter and new son-in-law, who is an amateur DJ. They were so taken by Kelton that, if possible, they would like to attend future events at which Kelton is the DJ!! I HIGHLY recommend him.

I don't think a single person at our 10/14/23 wedding received more compliments than DJ Steff. And there's no one I'd be happier to share the spotlight with. To put it simply - DJ Steff is amazing. At every phase of planning -- from our introductory call to walking through the event portal to wedding weekend - DreSteff Events was a dream. DJ Steff was patient, kind, thoughtful, collaborative, and incredibly responsive. He took time to know our specific music tastes, pet peeves, and personalities to bring our wedding ceremony reception to life in a way that felt uniquely us. He found all the songs we wanted to use -- no matter how obscure. The music mics at the ceremony were flawless. The cocktail hour tunes were on point. Our uplighting - both during dinner and when the dance floor was in full swing - set the room perfectly ablaze. And he DID NOT MISS with any of the reception music. All night, we heard: "WHERE DID YOU FIND THIS GUY?" "YOUR DJ IS AMAZING." "I'VE NEVER DANCED SO MUCH AT A WEDDING." I cannot rave about DJ Steff enough. If you're getting married in the tri-state, book him in a heartbeat. Best decision we made, outside deciding to marry each other.

They even coordinated with our friend (who is a singer) who wanted to sing something for us which ended up being one of the highlights of the night.

It’s been almost a month since my wedding and all anyone can talk about (still!!!) is this band! They were fantastic, high energy, talented beyond measure and knew how to play to their audience. I’m so happy I found them. They were reasonable price compared to other bands we looked at also. Our manager, Hannah, was fantastic with coordination and hearing me out on all of my song requests. 12/10 would definitely contract with again!

LIAT (singer/songwriter)

Denver, CO
  • Solo performer
  • Starts at $1,200
  • Serves Astoria, NY

With her earthy acoustics, dark melodies, and rich vocals, singer-songwriter Liat has been captivating live audiences for over fifteen years. After years of performing in the pulsing cities of Philadelphia and New York, Liat moved to Colorado, where she drew inspiration from the folk music of the mountains. Her music evokes her itinerant life and Israeli-American heritage— 90s’ pop-rock meets 60s’ folk with glints of Middle Eastern desert soundscapes. She spins guitar acoustics with her powerhouse vocals for lyrical “dark folk” sounds that linger long after a performance.

Liat performed for my college graduation party. She was punctual and ready to go with all her equipment. She not only has a beautiful voice but great energy. She was perfect for the intimate setting and also got the crowd up and dancing! It was so fun. It added a really nice element to the party. Love to book her for an another event!

I don’t even know where to begin, but before I go into it. Don’t think- HIRE TONY. We worked with such an incredible team of vendors, and one of the most amazing thing about Tony is that he is so in tune (pun intended) with the wedding industry that he works so well with everyone, is a true team player, and helps to make sure every single aspect of your wedding runs smoothly. We had an initial meeting with Tony before we even signed a contract and within seconds of hanging up we knew we had to work with Tony. He just gets it. He gets everything about weddings. He knows how to curate the perfect vibes and music. He is a phenomenal MC. He has your back throughout every step leading up to the wedding. We had a few meetings with Tony to discuss our goals for the wedding and every time we met with him we got more and more confident that Tony was going to absolutely kill it. Little did we know that Tony was going to create the most perfect set list of songs, create the most perfect mashups, and create a night that every guest and every age group would enjoy. My 86 year old grandma danced the ENTIRE night thanks to Tony’s expertise. You can tell from the minute you meet Tony that he loves what he does. We have had so many friends and family members tell us how incredible Tony was and how we had the most fun wedding they’ve ever been to. We’re biased but we agree. Tony made such an incredible impact not only on us, but all of our guests. Also to add, Tony brought cold sparklers and extra lighting for us that absolutely blew our minds. Our dance floor was PACKED from the minute it opened. Tony is a top notch entertainer and a top notch person. If you are given the opportunity to work with him, don’t think twice. Do it. I promise you will not regret it.

Thank you for your interest in J.Entertainment LLC event services. If you're searching for a very smooth emcee with great DJ mixing skills then look no further. Are you worried about professionalism? I graduated from Rutgers University in 2009 with a Degree in Business. After graduating I turned my passion for DJing into a full-time career. Are you worried about experience? I have been in the wedding industry for over 10 years. I take great pride in planning and performing at weddings. I'm available to speak with you about your special day whenever I'm not DJing.

Where do I even start? Jay was so easy to work with! From the start he helped us guide through the process of what we wanted. We did not want anything fancy. All we wanted was a DJ to help hype up, play music, and had experience at our venue. Jay was the perfect match! Everyone tells us how good the DJ was at our wedding. He played the best songs and listened to all our requests. We could not recommend him more!

If you want to have an amazing dance party at your wedding, book DJ Mariko! She delivered our theme “bangers only” with a creative mix of songs and played a crucial role in giving us our dream wedding. We received so many compliments from our guests, including one who exclaimed “I guess we are going to have to bring DJ Mariko to every party going forward!” She was great to work with from day one - super organized, very professional, prepared for every meeting, and had a great way of getting to know us so she could set the right mood and pace for our wedding. There was never a moment - from the cocktail hour, to the dinner, to the two dance sets, where we weren't delighted with her song choices. She was excellent at reading the room and getting everyone up dancing and kept the energy high all night. She thought of so many little details that made planning easy, and still made a point of checking in with us and the venue night of.

Words can’t express how much we loved working with Ana & Jimmy and the entire Amp DJ Band Hybrid. My husband really wanted a band while I really wanted a DJ, Amp DJ band was the perfect mix. We found Ana & Jimmy immediately and were able to schedule a meeting with them the next day. We knew right away that they were right for us. They were extremely attentive and outgoing from the start. They answered all out of questions and addressed concerns we had. We booked them immediately because we didn’t want to miss out on the opportunity to work with them. We met with them several times through our 6 month planning process. They responded immediately to any questions that popped up along the way and even allowed us to make a last minute change the night before. They well exceeded our musical playlist, taking the songs we requested and tailoring the rest of the music to fit the vibe. There was a perfect mix of live songs and an awesome dj set. The amount of compliments my husband & I received about the band far exceeded anything we expected. All of our guests LOVED them (of course as did we). So many people reached out that night or the next day to say how impressed they were with Ana, Jimmy & the whole band. We also had an acoustic guitar player at our cocktail hour which was amazing. If you’re debating getting a band for your wedding because your heart is set on a DJ, seriously look no further than Amp DJ Band hybrid. You will not be disappointed. I want to have another event just to work with them again!

Firstly, Claudio is truly such a pleasure to work with- he is extremely responsive, organized, and kind! He made the entire process very easy and I could tell that he was genuinely invested in his clients. Secondly, the talent of the band is truly unbelievable. We had multiple different configurations of the band during our wedding- duo during the ceremony, jazz quartet for cocktail hour, part of the band during dinner, and then the full 9 piece band during the dancing. At every point in the day, they were amazing! The full band played the perfect set list and with such incredible energy that pretty much every guest was on the dance floor jumping up and down and dancing the night away. It was truly the most epic wedding party thanks to Mod Society! We had multiple guests tell us it was the best wedding band they had ever heard and some have already told us they they want to book Mod Society for their own weddings/events!

We first saw Enjoy! playing a show at one of our favorite local bars the summer before our wedding and after a few songs, we knew they would be our perfect wedding band. Not only are all of the members extremely talented, but they played an awesome combination of songs that we love dearly from artists like Phish, Jimi Hendrix & Talking Heads. Once we met John and the rest of the band, we knew their personalities meshed so well with ours and it was the perfect match. They were extremely easy to work with when we planned out our song list and gave us great recommendations. When it came to the actual wedding day we were blown away! Not only did they do an awesome job on the songs we requested, they added some more that they felt would keep the party going. We still get comments on how awesome our band was to this day. We could not have picked a better group of guys and we highly recommend them to anyone who wants their music to make their wedding! And added bonus: they are great guys - a ton of fun!

A Metro Wedding

5.0

New York, NY
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,800
  • Serves Astoria, NY

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!

Paragon and DJ Turk-E were the most valuable piece of our guest experience. Everyone loved the music and atmosphere he created for our wedding. The energy was electric and guests have said it was the most fun they’ve ever had dancing at a wedding, and my husband and I couldn’t agree more. We planned this wedding long distance, and DJ Turk-E’s professionalism made the process stress-free and enjoyable. He really is a true expert and incredibly organized, especially for a destination wedding. He felt like part of the wedding party more than a vendor which made the night so special! Don’t hesitate to book him today for the party of your life!

Sean Kershaw & the New Jack Ramblers

Brooklyn, NY
  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $750
  • Serves Astoria, NY

Sean Kershaw & the New Jack Ramblers formed in 2001 as a loose collective of musicians from various backgrounds who got together to play country music for fun. By the mid-aughts the band (now firmly centered around Yours Truly, Sean Kershaw) was a well-honed, professional music outfit playing everything from club dates to weddings, festivals and corporate and charity events. A CD, Coney Island Cowboy was released and the band hit the road, touring the East coast, California and Alaska. Sean also toured Australia using local musicians. Fast forward to 2023 the band is going strong, playing monthly gigs in Brooklyn and events everywhere.

Sean and his band did a fantastic job of keeping everyone having fun and on the dance floor! They learned a song I requested for our first dance and kept the party flowing with DJ music on their set breaks. Very professional and easy to work with!

New York, NY
  • Band or Ensemble
  • Serves Astoria, NY

THE JON BATES BAND is an amazing dance-oriented “party band” that always gets folks dancing, feeling good and celebrating the occasion! THE JON BATES BAND is a "destination event band". They have literally performed all over the globe, providing an arsenal of abundantly talented musicians and vocalists, who perform an extensive repertoire of popular music in all styles and genres. They have the professionalism and touring experience required to offer clients the highest quality entertainment options on every level, and they have shared stages with some of the most legendary performers on the planet! - find more info at www.JonBatesBand.com

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.

Monica Re Martin is a in-demand NYC violinist, violist and strings arranger - and the perfect contractor for your wedding! Monica performs regularly on Broadway, with the NYC Ballet, and with top artists such as Andrea Bocelli and Kygo. She can be seen playing weddings on TV shows like "Summer House" and "The Real Housewives of New Jersey." Monica is available as a solo violinist, both acoustic and electric, and as an instrumental duo, string trio, or string quartet.

I hired Monica and her quartet to play during our wedding cocktail hour! Monica was professional throughout and communicated really well with me from the moment I booked her to the day of the wedding! She offered to arrange songs for me that may not be on her very comprehensive list. We requested pop songs on strings and the vibe was perfect! I would highly recommend booking Monica to contract and play at your wedding!

We worked with the team for a handful of family events last year, including our wedding and wedding after party. Gennaro was an incredible performer along with Anastasia. Jon Divine helped us with so much of the event, including being the MC for our after party. The team went above and beyond, and the music was absolutely phenomenal. They even coordinated a five piece string group to perform at our cocktail hour and ceremony, which was absolutely magical and beyond my wildest dreams. Highly recommend to anybody and everybody to work with these guys.

We bring a high energy experience to each event, with the right balance of sophistication and polish. We recognize the extreme importance of creating the perfect event, so from the first introduction to the day of the event, each client is given specialized attention, which entails customizing music for each event, professional and immediate attention to detail and bringing the exact desired effect to each event.

Black Tie Groove is the band to have at your wedding. Our ballroom floor was packed from start to finish with people dancing to their spectacular sounds and enjoying every second of their performance. Their charisma was overwhelming as they mingled amongst the crowd and elevated our wedding to a level we did not think possible. Countless guests at our event and in the following days have remarked how incredible each member of the band was and we are so grateful for their talents and efforts. From the initial meeting, to contracting, and their performance, Black Tie Groove is professional, classy, fun, entertaining, and a pleasure to work with. We’ll probably throw another party just to relive the experience all over again!
