Noir Hathor Sounds by Terrease Aiken

5.0

Poughquag, NY
  • Solo performer
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Manhattan, NY

I am a NY-based Harpist with over 18 years of experience. I have been fortunate enough to play for dozens of professional events and weddings along the East Coast. I have performed at many different events, from weddings to corporate Holiday parties to tea parties to retirement parties. Some of the locations I have been lucky to perform include the Marriott Marquis in Times Square and The Willard Intercontinental in Washington D.C. Most recently I was selected to be a featured musician on an episode of the Drew Barrymore show!

Our wedding harpist, Terrease Aiken, was an absolute dream come true! From the start, she was incredibly organized and timely, making the whole process seamless. Her willingness to incorporate our personal song choices into her repertoire was a beautiful and meaningful touch. Her attentiveness and responsiveness in the months leading up to the wedding were truly exceptional. On the big day, she surpassed ALL expectations!! Her performance was nothing short of magical, and our guests can't stop raving about her talent and unique style. She added a level of enchantment that made our special day truly unforgettable. We are forever grateful for the extraordinary touch she brought to our wedding! THANK YOU TERREASE!!

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot speak highly enough about Jay and the team at On The Beat Fx. Leading up to the wedding, Jay was extremely receptive to everything my wife and I wanted, and made awesome suggestions and decisions on things we weren't sure on. Jay is an incredibly personable and super nice guy. He made us feel supremely comfortable going into the week of the wedding. What Jay and his team did the day of the wedding was nothing short of incredible. I've never been to a wedding where guests were willingly leaving their food on the table to instead go dance, but it happened at mine. Everyone was tapping their feet throughout dinner and crowded the dance floor as soon as they were finished. Songs flowed flawlessly from one into the other and there were absolutely zero breaks in the action. The one and only regret I have is that we weren't able to extend our time at the venue to keep the party going with Jay and his team at the helm. We could not be happier with our choice to have Jay and his team DJ our wedding and I will be recommending him to everyone for all occasions.

Awarded Best of Zola
If there’s one thing you should take away from this review, it is this - You should DEFINITELY hire Herbert Holler to DJ your wedding! From the very first phone call, it was obvious that he is someone who loves his job. He has an extensive knowledge and love of music means no matter what you want the soundtrack of your wedding or event to be, he’s got you and your guests of ALL ages covered. He was communicative, easy to work with, clearly invested in making sure we had a great time at our wedding, and that everything ran as smoothly as possible. In fact, at one point, he noticed from behind the booth that we were one man short for lifting someone up in the chair during our extensive Hora. So what did he do? He put his headphones down, ran onto the dance floor, and kept the party going! As a musician and music lover myself, it was hard to trust someone else with the evening’s setlist, but we are so glad we did. He was super keyed into the dance floor, and read the crowd like an expert, always knowing exactly what song to serve up. We danced our aes off and could not have had a better evening. We even rented one of his lighting packages, which he set up to perfection. Herbert, thank you for helping us with our live performances, and for giving us such an incredibly memorable night!!

I collaborate closely with couples to create their unique musical experiences for themselves and their guests by delivering a Sophisticated Savoire-Faire of seamlessly blended hits from past decades to what's currently in vogue; citing T-40 Dance, House, IndiePop/Rock, Nu-Disko, Hip Hop, Funk, Soul, Crossover Reggae and Crossover Latin as some of my favorites.

Marcus is super kind, easy to work with and can work with broad music tastes. He stands out from other DJs because he has a background in theatre. This allows him to seamlessly transition all of your music, not only on the dance floor, but throughout the whole night. From ceremony to speeches, Marcus has you covered. Our reception was a mix of rap, hip hop, 80's/90's hits, and salsa/latino hits, which he was able to mix seamlessly. People were dancing all night, and all the guests had great things to say. Highly recommend!!!

45 Riots

New York, NY
  • Band or Ensemble

www.45riots.com 45 Riots is a modern collective of first-call performing, recording, and touring musicians, operating with resolute focus, attention-to-detail, veteran experience, and artistic verve. Live music entertainment!

To put it simply, you have to hire 45 Riots. It is not an exaggeration to say that every person at my wedding came up to my parents, my husband or I to say this was the best wedding band they'd ever seen. I'm in the Broadway community, and my husband's father is a professional musician, so that's high praise coming from people who know music! From start to finish, they were great about communication and getting to know our tastes. At the wedding, every song was a hit and the dance floor was packed. They were great about reading the room and handling all our formalities, including ceremony music and cocktail hour. Additionally, they had no problem learning songs that we wanted that weren't on their Song List. My husband's father is in a well-known rock band and 45 Riots learned a 7-minute long hit song of theirs to play with my father-in-law & brother-in-law. To say that performance was epic is an understatement. They completely rose to the occasion and our guests were floored. I can't recommend 45 Riots enough! Thanks for everything, guys!

Awarded Best of Zola
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

5.0

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.

The way I feel about MikeMusic is far beyond just words. He’s classy, funny, down to earth, smart, professional & then some! Booking him for our wedding was a no brainer because of his unique style of play, and also because he has the same taste in music as me & my wife. Whether it be hip hop, reggae, kompa, salsa, merengue or soca, Mike is well versed in all of these genres & knows how to rock the crowd! He also has a great setup & treats your wedding day like it was his own. If you don’t hire this man for your wedding day you’re friggin’ crazy! He’s the best in the business!

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.

They did everything and more! music while we walked down the aisle, walk out music into the reception, it was a dream come true the entire night. We keep getting rave reviews weeks after!

We chose a Smoky Mountain lullaby for the walk down the aisle and for the cocktail hour Austin played a mix of contemporary and Brazilian songs, because we are fans of his classical performances. So many guests commented to us on how lovely it was. He also travels with all of his own gear and with regard to set up and break down he's in and out of the scene without anyone even noticing; he's very professional and accommodating.

Do not look any further for a DJ company. These guys were AMAZING from the first quote request to the end of the wedding night. They are so professional, friendly, and organized. They were excellent at communicating and very quick at replying. They give you a user-friendly portal to customize your wedding music from when guests sit down before the wedding to the last song. They do a final run-through a week before the wedding to ensure everything is exactly how you want. They’re so friendly and accommodating the whole way through. Now, on our DJ & MC specifically... Ernest and Marlowe were rock stars. They communicated well with us the entire wedding, kept us in the loop with what was coming up, and were SO good at sticking to our preferred music and keeping guests on the dance floor. There were also so helpful the whole day with miscellaneous stuff; he was almost like a built-in coordinator. He made sure photos/videos were ready for whatever was coming next. He made sure that we stuck to our timeline of events. I can’t tell you how many compliments I got on the music and personality of the MC. And last but not least... they are SO affordable!!! Brides, do yourself a favor and book them ASAP!!

Highly highly recommend Ryan Cook! We received so many compliments on the music at our wedding. Ryan and team did classical acoustics for our ceremony, and then transitioned into a trio for cocktail hour. The live cocktail hour music was amazing, we only wish we could have watched and listened the whole time! It made a huge difference having what I'll call actual musicians (that love music) rather than cookie cutter wedding bands. It really set the vibe for the day and everyone genuinely enjoyed the music. Ryan also did a great job DJing for the reception Working with him was super easy, he was always quick to respond and was enthusiastic throughout the process of planning and selecting a song list. Wish we could do it all again!

I hired this agency for our hedge fund company anniversary in London and as well for my daughter's wedding in South of France. Steve and Patryce were amazing listeners. We also loved the fact that they are a couple that work hard together for their family and have strong work ethics. We did not know that Steve was such a awesome drummer: My God! We thought he just ran the company. We understand why his network of musicians is so large. I will definitely hire them again. They made me look great in front of my high net worth clients and partners and everyone was on the dance floor at my daughter 's wedding.

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring The Last Nites to play our wedding was the best decision we made. We knew we wanted an authentic, fun, great-sounding live band for our big day. We love all genre of music and my husband is a huge fan of brass - and The Last Nites delivered! They have a wide variety of songs they play - I even discovered two new ones that have become my favorite - S.O.B and Miserlou - when listening to their list. We love country and they even delivered on country music. We even asked for a new song they had never played before - Pink’s Never Not Gonna Dance Again and learned it and played it. It was such a fun evening full of dancing and laughter. We also hired a brass trio to play at our cocktail hour and thought I worried it would be too loud in the small cocktail room - they were perfect. How they played brass softly is beyond me but they are incredibly talented. Thank you for making our wedding day one we will always remember!

We hired Skylark for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception music and were so happy with the quality of performance that was provided. We knew we wanted a live music component, but were working on a smaller budget, so Justin worked with us so to have a duo present for our ceremony and cocktail hour, followed by him serving as DJ for our reception. He was incredibly communicative, easy to work with, and took our personalities and interests into consideration when finalizing the playlists for our special day. We are so happy with Skylark, and can't recommend them enough!

Big Ric and his band made our son’s wedding an awesome and memorable celebration. In addition to having very talented musicians and vocalists, they played the perfect tunes to keep everyone on the dance floor. They were outstanding from start to finish. Big Ric, the bandleader, displayed tremendous enthusiasm and command of the flow of the party. He had a real big personality and knows how to get everyone involved and up having fun. They are a big sound band with a strong horns section and excellent women vocalists. All I heard all night was how great the wedding was and that Big Ric’s band was the best they have heard. My advice is to keep doing what you do…. I highly recommend Big Ric Rising, especially if you want your guests to have an awesome time at your wedding!
