DJ Trey Entertainment is AMAZING! The team was so easy to work with, very responsive and always helpful. I haven’t had a positive customer service experience like that since before Covid.

Our instruments can include violin, viola and cello, harp, guitar and piano for ceremony and/or cocktail hour and piano, saxophone, upright bass, and guitar for reception and/or cocktail hour.

Upstate Strings was absolutely amazing! Having live music during our ceremony and cocktail hour elevated the entire experience and made everything feel so elegant and timeless. They played a mix of Bridgerton-style covers for the cocktail hour that our guests loved, and for my walk down the aisle, they performed an Ed Sheeran song that was special to us — it was the song playing the first time we met. Because they were live, they were able to time everything perfectly, and the transitions felt so natural and emotional. So many guests commented on how classy and beautiful the music was. I can’t recommend them enough!

Hey! My name is Trey (he/him). Let’s be honest: the standard wedding DJ vibe can be a little cringe. I offer the antidote. I am a signed recording artist on 2 major global indie labels, Electric Radio UK resident, and have done support work for major names in the industry. That is unparalleled experience, achieved through unparalleled technical skill. If you are looking for a "Game Show Host" on the microphone, I am not the guy. But if you want a professional artist who can keep the entire dance floor packed until they kick us out of the venue, let’s get to work.

DJ Trey Triplicate was absolutely incredible from start to finish. His communication was super amazing - he was always quick to respond to our questions and very helpful in planning the music for our big day. On the day of the wedding, with the cold weather and snow storm, he had to set up at an earlier time than planned, but he delivered an amazing performance that had our guests dancing all night long. Everyone kept saying how amazing he was and how the music really made our wedding so special. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ to help make our wedding day so memorable.

Having a band was on my non-negotiables list for our wedding - & Good Musicians Co far exceeded our expectations. Philip was so wonderful to work with - you can just tell by his demeanor that he is ready to keep the energy alive all night long. The amount of dancing at my wedding was something I've never seen before, and I am confident it is all thanks to the band. They played each song we selected for the 'special' dances, and we were simply blown away with talent among the band members. If you are contemplating booking them for your event, DO IT. There are so many details from the night that ended up not being as important as we anticipated - but the energy the band created is something I will truly cherish forever. Thank you Good Musicians CO!
