I've seen Grant play at various venues and can't recommend him highly enough! He's incredibly professional and thorough, tailoring his set and performance to the tone of the event and blending in seamlessly. He has a beautiful singing voice and creates a really impressive one man band effect using his looping setup to layer in all parts of the song live in front of you. It's pretty incredible to see how he builds the song real-time without any backing tracks or pre-recorded stuff. I would feel confident hiring him for anything from a small cocktail party to a full wedding reception. Grant is the best!

Guests of all ages danced the night away and one of our friends even split his pants open from dancing so hard!

Astoria, NY
  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $700

Ash & Rose is a two person live acoustic cover band that specializes in warm and expressive covers of favorites from yesterday and today. With a catalogue of over 50 love songs to choose from, Ash & Rose is sure to have the perfect soundtrack for your love story.

Ash & Rose Live Music was an absolute highlight of our wedding day. Their communication throughout the planning process was seamless, warm, and incredibly responsive—they made the whole experience feel personalized and easy. On the day itself, their performance was nothing short of incredible. Dan and I have been friends with Ash & Rose for years, dating back to our college days, which made it even more meaningful to have them bring that part of our relationship alive again. They performed my favorite song from the a cappella group Dan and Ash sang in together during college, and even reworked the ending to celebrate our “7 whole years” together. It was beautiful, personal, and unforgettable. They are not only two of the most talented singers I know, but also two of the kindest and most genuine people. That combination of talent and heart radiated through their performance and into every guest experience. My family and friends are still talking about how amazing, energetic, and joyful they were as a duo. You could see it on everyone’s faces as they rocked the house. (Just take it from me, the bride herself, in these photos.) Having Ash & Rose perform at our wedding was hands down one of the best decisions we made. They will treat you with the same incredible care, kindness, and talent they showed us, and they’ll make your day unforgettable. If you’re looking for wedding singers who can make magic happen, look no further than Ash & Rose Live Music.

Dj Sparkx Entertainment was an incredible experience from start to finish. From our initial contact to the post-wedding follow-up, he was consistently professional and attentive. Our wedding took place in December 2024, just a few days after Christmas—a timing that had both its challenges and blessings. Despite the busy holiday season, Dj Sparkx took the time to thoroughly go over all our preferences and ensure everything was perfectly planned for our big day. On the wedding day, he exceeded all our expectations. Our guests are still raving about how engaging he was and how skillfully he played music that resonated with both sides of our family. Dj Sparkx masterfully balanced the Caribbean spice with the classic American hits, making the event enjoyable for everyone. He is versatile and does his research for any cultural background! He also made it a point to ensure that my husband and I had time on the dance floor and enjoyed ourselves. What stood out the most was how collaborative he was throughout the process. He listened to our ideas, shared his expert opinions, and every suggestion he made elevated our wedding to another level. Trusting a vendor with one of the most important days of your life can be daunting, but my advice is simple: trust Dj Sparkx! The photobooth was also a fantastic addition. Dj Sparkx added a special touch by surprising us with a photo album filled with messages from our guests—a keepsake we’ll treasure forever. We couldn’t be happier with our decision to work with Dj Sparkx. He is professional, cost-efficient, and, most importantly, an absolute joy to work with. Highly recommended!

We are so happy we chose The DJ Boutique to be our wedding day DJ! They **absolutely** nailed it at our wedding! We felt at ease from the first meet and greet with Jamie and impressed he came out to meet us face to face instead of keeping everything virtual. They are super friendly, communicative, and made us feel like we were in great hands. On the big day, the energy they brought was next-level. Our dance floor was packed all night, and the music was spot on!! We gave Jamie 2 spotify playlists of potential wedding music to play and he turned them into the perfect soundtrack for our day. Sooooo many guests told us how much fun they had and asked who our DJ was because they wanted to take note of them for their next event!

We also had a ceremony guitarist and a saxophonist with tracks for the cocktail hour, which added great touches to the day. The uplights they brought for the room were priced very well and created a beautiful atmosphere. The music planning worksheet they provided was incredibly helpful, and they offered valuable advice on the timeline and flow of the reception, which was a huge help.

The harpist and violinist were absolutely incredible — truly one of the most magical parts of our entire wedding day. My husband and I were completely in awe, and our guests couldn’t stop talking about how beautiful and cinematic the music was. It felt like something straight out of a movie, especially with the stunning ambiance of our ceremony location. From the very beginning, the process of choosing music through the company’s website was seamless. There were so many amazing song options to pick from, and we were so happy with our final selections. Hearing them come to life — especially on violin and harp — was beyond words. The musicians played so eloquently and gracefully, and their talent was unmatched. The music added a romantic, emotional, and elegant touch that elevated everything to a whole new level. Communication with the company was excellent. They were quick to respond, always friendly and accommodating, and remained professional and patient — even when unexpected weather challenges came up on the day of the wedding. They were flexible, understanding, and worked with us to make sure everything went smoothly. The quality of the performance was truly a 10 out of 10. Guests were completely blown away, and many told us how unforgettable and moving the ceremony music was. The transitions between songs were smooth and perfectly timed. I would 100% recommend this company to any couple looking to add something special to their ceremony. They are incredibly talented, professional, punctual, and just a dream to work with. We’re so grateful to have had them be part of our big day — they helped make it feel absolutely magical.

HiMotive Entertainment & Photobooth did a great job keeping our wedding reception fun and upbeat. While their communication was a bit delayed leading up to the event, they were ultimately effective in executing on the day-of. The DJ kept the party going all night with a good song selection, though they did play 3 Taylor Swift songs in a row at the start, which we would have preferred more variety. The MC's ad-libs got a little overbearing at times, but overall they did a nice job sticking to the schedule and making important announcements. We'd recommend HiMotive to other couples looking for an energetic DJ.

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 played at our wedding in Hudson, NY on 9/3/22. Justin and Jesse played live music during our ceremony, cocktails, and throughout diner. Justin then DJ'ed during the reception. In the months leading up to the wedding Justin was very responsive and kept in touch. He was very easy to work with. We sent him numerous playlists to work with and bounce ideas off of. He made sure to keep the music to songs and vibes we were going for during the reception, could not have asked for more. The live music was absolutely phenomenal. They learned all the songs we asked of them for the ceremony and then worked off of an inspiration playlist during cocktails and diner. The live music was so much fun and gave an amazing ambience to the evening. During diner they played an acoustic cover of Sweet Child O'Mine that was so great the entire reception could not help but watch and everyone ended up clapping which is amazingly rare to happen while people are playing background music. It was an incredible moment. We recommend Skylark Music to anyone who wants a classy, but not stuffy, and very fun live music. These guys are great!

We want your guests to leave saying, “that was the best wedding we’ve ever been to.”

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring the Metropolitan Players was one of the best decisions we made while wedding planning. It was clear from social media and videos that they were an excellent band, but what really made Met Players stand out was how incredible they were to work with from the second we reached out to them to our wedding night!! Erin was so amazing to work with and by far the nicest and most accommodating vendor I have ever worked with! They truly go above and beyond to make sure the day is everything you want it to be and understand how integral the band is in the execution of a wedding. They were INCREDIBLE!! People are still raving about the music and how fun they were. I could go on for days. Do not hesitate to hire them for your wedding!!
