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!!

Awarded Best of Zola
10/10 - Highly Recommend - even a MUST HAVE at your wedding! If you want to have the most fun wedding, with the BEST music of all time - hire The Hook Club for your wedding. I have two experiences with The Hook Club - the first was when I was a guest at a wedding in the Hamptons, my best friend got married and they played the best music, the wedding was high energy, happy and all the guests were on the dance floor the entire night! After seeing them live, I reached out to hire them for my wedding in Manhattan (at the NYAC right on Central Park South). I was so impressed by how pleasant and organized Jesse Feathersone and Dan Vernam were to work with. They are true professionals, they know what they are doing and they even supported me on how the wedding reception should flow. They made the preparation process so easy for me, through it I never had to worry about the band logistics because Jesse and Dan gave me the utmost confidence. They have a massive library of songs to choose from and they even learned special songs for the dances (first, mother/son and father/daughter) and special songs to play for us throughout the night - that kind of custom experience is so unusual with wedding bands - I couldn't believe how easy and positive the Hook Club handled these special requests. Every single guest at my wedding could not stop talking about how amazing the band was during and after the fact. My guests were on the dance floor singing and dancing and interacting with them all night. I can't emphasize enough how talented this group is - not just as talented musicians but as talented business people. If you are looking for a stress free experience and a truly talented one of a kind wedding band - HIRE THE HOOK CLUB!!

Marcus is just such a lovely person and an amazing DJ/MC, and I cannot recommend him enough! He DJ'd our wedding a couple of weeks ago and my partner and I are still not over what a wonderful job he did. He is SO friendly, was extremely easy to work with and took the time to get to know us and the vibes that we wanted for the day. So many of our friends and family raved about how great he/the music was, and we could not agree more -- music for our night was really important to us and he truly curated the dance party of our dreams. Also worth noting that Marcus' sound system is super high quality, as this was an important factor to us since we've been to events before where the stereos weren't the greatest.

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

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.

My husband and I were recently married in CT. Joe did both our ceremony and reception music. Joe was the best DJ we could have asked for! He played all of our "must play" songs and mixed them well with other hits. I didn't leave the dance floor! Our guests are still talking about the great music. Leading up to our wedding, Joe had excellent communication and was easy to work with. Highly recommend!

My goal for your event is straightforward: to create a musical atmosphere your guests will enjoy, in a tasteful way to conserve your excellent reputation. I look to do this by curating my family-friendly music library with all genres, removing instances or entire songs with profanity, vulgar descriptions, and offensive lyrics. I want you and your guests to feel comfortable for the entirety of the event, starting with the mood music that represents your style, whether you've chosen every song or have a few key picks you want me to build a playlist around.

Im going to start off by saying that I can be a little picky with music. HOWEVER, I knew that Kent was my guy when I was tasked to find a DJ for my wedding a little over 5 years ago. No regrets whatsoever! He brought together Dominican, Colombian, and American cultures seamlessly! He is a real pro at what he does. He’s an amazing producer as well and created a customized mix for us. He was extremely flexible and attentive to detail. He had our dance floor packed the whole time! Needless to say I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

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!

I don't even have the words to describe how good this band is. Candidly, my family had unrealistic expectations, and they were absolutely FLOORED by the exceptional talent of JJ, Bobbi, Jermaine, and the band. At one point a guest confused Bobbi's voice for an actual Whitney Houston recording. They brought the house down and I only wish we could have spent many more hours dancing with them. Plus the producers that you work with during the planning process are SO nice, attentive, and helpful. 45 Riots made our wedding the best night of my life. BOOK THEM!

Cheers!

I can’t believe how lucky I got with JB. He really came in asking what I wanted, I told him what I liked and he pulled together the most incredible selection of musicians, playlist of songs and order of service. My husband wanted a few obscure film scores in the ceremony, and JB not only knew them off the top of his head, he arranged them all for strings! I didn’t know what music I wanted for the recessional so I just told him what kind of thing I liked, but that I’d prefer something unknown. He pulled out three amazing options. Literally every wildest dream I had, he delivered. I even played him an old English comic song which I knew my parents would love, and he ROCKED it. I loved working with him, he’s such a professional and music is clearly his life. Showmance were a real highlight of our wedding preparation, the day itself and now of our wedding video and photos. I’m just so delighted that we found him!

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 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.

We were a little apprehensive about having alive band in our venue but the couple that hired them explained that they would not be having riotous music - just playing easy to gently dance to during the evening - which they did - with style.

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.
