We had a fantastic experience with Dan from NY Wedding DJ at our wedding! The music was everything we wanted and more. He could tell how the night was going and had all the perfect songs. Everyone was up and dancing for the entire evening and it was simply the best wedding! We highly recommend Dan and NY Wedding DJ for your own special celebration. From the beginning to the end, Dan's communication was excellent and his performance was even better.

If you need a DJ that is going to listen, follow up, be fully present for your wedding day, and bring the house down look no further. Jay absolutely made our wedding night a night to remember. Multiple people have told me it was the best wedding reception they’ve ever been to and I know that a good part of that is because of Jay. My partner and I personally wanted a reception that played current music mixed in with all the great sing alongs that we all love. Jay didn’t miss a beat with this. His transitions were smooth and had the dance floor rocking the entire night. The best way I can describe it is, you know how you wait for a song to come on that isn’t your favorite so you can take a break or grab a drink? Well that song never came on.

Meet The Cool Rulers! A youthful, professional and world class dance band collective from Brooklyn, NY specializing in Motown, soul, funk, disco and more. Our videos and reviews speak for themselves. Made up of real friends with real musical chemistry and a true love and passion for the songs that we play, The Cool Rulers cater to clients seeking an alternative to your typical flashy top 40 event bands.

We used The Cool Rulers as the band for our wedding reception and they were AMAZING. Getting the music / band right at our wedding was one of our top priorities and I have to say, the entire process was enjoyable and smooth - Charles was extremely responsive and fun to work with and all the band members were so so talented. They have a really solid song list to pick from - there are so many great song son there that was hard to pick our top selections, but we also found that Charles was able to really match the “vibe” we were going for based on the song list we sent through to him. So the entire set list was absolutely perfect and fabulous. They also played live music for our processional / recessional as well as our cocktail hour, which was great - I really liked that we were able to to have live music throughout the wedding afternoon, and it was perfectly tailored to each moment (acoustic guitarist for the ceremony, jazz trio for the cocktail hour). I know that our wedding planners also found the band really easy to work with. I HIGHLY recommend The Cool Rulers if you want a fantastic, energetic band who knows how to get your guests to boogie down on the dance floor!!
