We can’t say enough great things about our experience with Complete Weddings Events for our DJ and photo booth. Jade was our DJ and she was OUTSTANDING. She crushed the ceremony music transitions and setting up our audio needs for our officiant and for our speeches. It truly felt like we were partying with an old friend with the way she picked the perfect balance of classic songs, modern faves, and some of the club classics we used to party to in the early 00’s in college. She suggested a final dance song for just us after all our guests left and it was truly the best end to the evening and something we wouldn’t have thought of at all. We’re already trying to find a way to have her DJ another party for us! Katie was our Photo Booth operator and she did an AMAZING job with our guest book and in making sure guests kept taking pictures all night long. We had such an amazing time and the value for the money is unmatched!

Chris is absolutely amazing at what he does! We had the best time dancing with all of our guests at our wedding. Chris made sure to play music that would keep the dance floor packed all night! There was never a time where a song played and people weren’t feeling it. He knows what he’s doing !! Leading up to our big day, Chris was very on top of it. We chatted with him about a week or two before our wedding and he asked us a bunch of questions to ensure he was bringing the right vibe of music to our day. We received so many compliments saying how our DJ was amazing and people were sore for days because they were dancing so much! We can’t thank Chris enough for listening to us and helping make our day so memorable.

Awarded Best of Zola
My wife and I had Lou DJ our upstate wedding and it was more than we could have dreamed of. From the beginning, he was nothing but professional. He met with us multiple times prior to the event to go over music selection, flow of the ceremony day etc. His website was very easy to use and allowed us to have a large role in our music selection for the day, even for the reception dance portion. Everything was reviewed at least 3 times to ensure there were no hiccups, and also to make sure we wouldn't have to worry about anything on the ceremony day. On the day, Lou came in very early to setup and his equipment was extremely unobtrusive and sounded amazing. From the ceremony to reception (and especially cocktail hour), the sound was fantastic and there was not a single hiccup (even with an outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour!). His flow through the reception was so smooth - and as a former college radio DJ, his music choice to fill in the gaps between the 'must plays' we sent him were impeccable!!! If you have a big heart for music and want it to be the backbone of any great party while having one of the most professional guys out there - Lou is 100% your guy. Thanks again Lou!!!!

Eric was our DJ for the day, and he was absolutely amazing.

From the ceremony to the final song, everything was flawless thanks to him. He really knows how to read the room and keep the energy going, the dance floor was never empty!

Close your eyes for a second and picture the middle of your reception. Your song comes on. Your friends are screaming the lyrics. Your parents are on the dance floor. You look at each other and just know that this is exactly how it was supposed to feel. That’s the night you’re planning. You want to be present. You want your people to stay. You want the energy to build instead of fade. And when it’s all said and done, you want to wake up the next morning with a full camera roll and a group chat that won’t stop blowing up. If that’s the kind of night you’re imagining, we're your people and we're rooting for you Let's chat when you feel like it

They catered to all of our unique touches (can't miss the t-shirt toss), always making sure the day would feel like ours, and then we had the chance to tear up the dance floor long into the evening!

Justin was lovely to work with from the start. He was booked for another wedding, but he paired us up with Rob, an associate DJ of his. Both Rob and Justin were so so fun to work with. Rob took the time to text or set up whatever zoom calls we felt we needed. For the actual day, Rob was amazing. We had dinner service, reception, and "after party". Robs killed it with his flow between songs, and was incredibly accommodating and flexible if we had any requests in the moment, and was able to dodge or handle any "questionable" song requests that came his way. We knew that he always put my husband and I's wishes first. We also had multiple people comment on how good the DJ was during the reception, and after the fact! He also went above and beyond to pull heroics the day of to get some of our DIY spot lighting set up that wasn't set up the night prior. Rob was incredible to work with, and just as fun to chat with. Will miss working with them, but absolutely will be following their journeys and would use them again in a heartbeat! So thankful for Justin and Rob!

Hey, I'm Anthony! I'm a Singer-Songwriter, Pianist, and Guitarist in the Albany region. I've always loved bringing people's musical visions to life, whether it be producing and arranging music for artists like Scott Hoying from Pentatonix, or filling an event with sound that speaks to the people there. A lot of musicians try to BE the thing, but I've always love being a PART of something bigger, like a wedding. While I live in Albany, I'm willing to travel almost anywhere - feel free to get in touch whether you want me to come to you, or if you're planning a destination wedding!

Awarded Best of Zola
As soon as I got engaged, I immediately started seeking a musician because music and ambience is so important to me. I listened to so many different options and was thrilled when I found Anthony. His voice, style and entire package was exactly what I was looking for and I will be forever grateful that he was a part of the most special day of my life and truly made it perfect. I remember just stopping and taking a moment during my wedding reception to just watch and listen to his performance and felt so incredibly lucky that he was singing at my wedding. His piano and guitar skills are incredible and his voice is beautiful. He is so incredibly talented. All night, my guests kept coming up to me to tell me how amazing he was and I felt so proud that everyone could enjoy the experience. Working with Anthony was so easy and positive. Planning a wedding is so stressful but Anthony being so accommodating, patient, helpful, attentive and calming made it much less stressful for me. Anthony is not only amazing and talented but he is a kind and genuine person and working with him was an absolutely wonderful experience. You can tell he puts his heart into his work and cares about the people he is working with. I will be forever grateful for him making my wedding absolutely perfect. Anthony, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

  • Serves Cooperstown, NY

It’s the one-on-one relationship that you have with your event host throughout your planning that will, and absolutely should, spill over into the atmosphere of your event. Getting to know you with the desire to personalize your entertainment, not simply customize, is a large part of where creativity comes from, and not just mine, but yours as well! I love to offer many suggestions and ideas for your event but also find it just as important to hear your "unique" and "awesome" ideas.

I had one request for Caroline and that was to keep the dance floor packed the whole night, and SHE DELIVERED!! We danced all night long and had so much fun. I can't recommend Caroline and Upbeat Occasions enough!! If 10 stars was a rating I would give her 10!

  • Serves Cooperstown, NY

Wedding and event band based in New York’s Capital Region. We do cocktail jazz, wedding receptions, ceremony music and more. Today, jazz is a rarity, especially in its purist live form. This condition is a result of its limited availability, and the higher prevalence of rock bands in most areas. We at T. L. Holloway seek to alleviate this issue. As students of the jazz classics, we seek to provide authentic American jazz to venues and events all over the Northeastern United States.

Mellow jazz set the perfect mood for our son’s wedding - Steve worked with us to integrate the band into the festivities, and they know how to set the mood without stealing the show. Bravo!

Olivia and Bridie were wonderful to work with. They were able to learn our 2 custom arrangements within a month of the wedding which we so appreciated. The performance was wonderful! The music was beautiful and I'm so happy we chose to hire them to play for our ceremony. There's just something about live string music that makes a wedding even more special! They have a long repertoire list too, so we were able to choose lots of beautiful songs for the ceremony. And they were so nice and waited for us to finish our photos so we could meet them in person! Would definitely recommend them!

We cannot thank DJ Anthony enough. The dance floor was packed the entire night and the energy never dipped. He completely exceeded any expectation we had set for our DJ.

We knew we were in good hands from the start from the initial planning stages to his excellent communication in the weeks leading up to the big day. DJ Anthony is a true professional. We had NOTHING to worry about as he arrived hours before the wedding, had everything set up just as we discussed and kept us on schedule the entire time. He worked with the venue coordinator and photographer seamlessly for a night with 0 stress for myself and my now husband.

We spoke to couples who had them at their wedding and the general consensus was they exceed their expectations. Hands down the best band in the area.

Welcome to New York Players, the premier dance party experts in the heart of New York City. Specializing in creating unforgettable experiences, we excel in curating electrifying entertainment for weddings, corporate functions, private gatherings, galas, fundraisers, nightclubs, concerts, and festivals. Our commitment to excellence ensures every event is tailored to your unique vision, keeping the energy high and the dance floor packed from start to finish.

The New York Players were the thing our wedding guests talked about the most! Aside from being absolutely fantastic and putting on a great show, the pre-event communication and planning support really made NYP a great band to work with. We didn't really know going into booking what things needed to be considered when booking our event music, and Mike was so helpful for holding our hands through the planning process. Before the event, Mike helped us plan the logistics, met with us to discuss our goals, and gave us an extensive song list to select music from for the night, as well as adding some songs that we love that were not on the list. The attention to detail and level of care put into the band made feel so fun and special, and took a lot of the stress of wedding planning out of the music planning due to the top-notch professionalism. The band really is amazing, the experience was like being at a live concert where all of your favorite bands are playing all of your favorite songs. I can't recommend booking with the New York Players enough!

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.

My husband and I used Direct Entertainment for our DJ and videographer for our wedding and we could not be more pleased!! The team was professional, great at communication, very kind and professional, and they helped make our day absolutely perfect! Jeff, our DJ kept the dance floor alive ALL NIGHT!! When the music had to stop at the end of the night, the dance floor was still completely full and no one wanted it to end. He did a great job announcing the events of the night, made sure that our ceremony music was perfect, and he stuck to our wedding playlist with the exception for a couple guest requests (which we were happy to allow). We were so happy and thankful to have Jeff there! Sie, our videographer also did a wonderful job! We have not yet received our video as our wedding was less than 2 weeks ago, but I already know it is going to be amazing. He was so great with communication, was prompt with his timing, and he even set up a second camera for guests to break away and give us well wishes for our marriage, which I'm so excited to watch back. He was very professional and wonderful to work with. We decided to add videography at the last minute because we thought we might regret not having it, and I am SO happy we asked Jim at Direct Entertainment if they had someone available for our day just a month before, and they did!! Jim, the coordinator at Direct Entertainment frequently checked in with us, asked us questions about ourselves, and genuinely made us feel like he cared about us and our special day. He was great to work with leading up to being assigned our designated DJ and videographer, and even after, he checked in to make sure we were happy and that all of the planning was going well. Overall, we would 1000% recommend Direct Entertainment for any wedding entertainment needs! I know they also offer several other services that we did not utilize, and I'm sure they are wonderful as well! Photos courtesy of Lang at Wandering Wolf Photography.

Austin did an incredible job providing music for the ceremony and cocktail hour of our wedding this past June. Not only is he a very talented musician, he offers a large variety of song choices and was willing to learn new music as well. He is very easy to work with, responsive and professional. Highly recommend hiring Austin if you want to set the mood for an event!
