Awarded Best of Zola
The Hook Club is the real deal! We hired them to play the melodies for our ceremony, a jazz ensemble for the cocktail hour, and an entire set for the reception. The Hook Club was a huge reason why our wedding was such a success. Our guests had so much fun dancing to their songs and were so impressed by their performance. The band is usually the first thing our guests bring up when talking about the wedding. This group of musicians not only sounded and looked amazing but they were also extremely accommodating to what we wanted to hear. This was in part due to the fact that their repertoire is so expansive, being able to play almost any genre from any decade. Dan and the rest of the band worked tirelessly to perfect the set-list and make sure our day was perfect and I cannot thank them enough for what they did for us. If you are looking for quality and incredible talent, The Hook Club has it.

I can't say enough good things about Dan from NY Wedding DJ! Right from the first consultation my partner and I were met with a friendly attitude and attention to detail, asking specifics about what we were hoping for during the reception. I've been to so many weddings where a mediocre DJ makes the reception drag on and on, but Dan's choice of music were totally catered to us and our type of crowd and it made the party bopping all the way until the last dance! Additionally, as an LGBT couple, we felt incredibly supported by Dan from NY Wedding DJ, and felt he offered a very inclusive atmosphere for us to be our comfortable selves around. I wish we could do it all over again just to have Dan throw another perfect reception!!

Honolulu, HI

  • Serves Hilo, HI for additional fees

Sean is a two-time Na Hoku Hanohano (Hawaiian Grammy) Award-winning songwriter, guitarist, and vocalist based out of Honolulu, Hawai'i. Described as an "innovative singer-songwriter and prolific performer who plays pop, rock, and soul" by The Honolulu Star-Advertiser, his music can in one moment be introspective and refined, and in the next, fiery and emotional. Blending together a hooky pop-songwriting aesthetic with the raw emotion of his electric guitar, Sean traverses and synthesizes the frenetic passion of rock and blues with the sultry sounds of r&b, jazz, and soul.

Sean was exactly what we wanted in a musician for our November 4th, 2023 wedding at Loulu Palm in Haleiwa. We were looking for a professional musician who could stand out and make our ceremony special, but also provide the entertainment in the background during cocktail hour. Sean is professional, courteous, and very responsive. He can play a variety of music and knows so many songs as listed on his website. Sean delivered and we are very happy with his services. If you are looking for an incredible guitarist, singer, and musician for your event, we highly recommend Sean Cleland. Thank you Sean!

Wild Faith (Leonardo Armijo)

Boulder, CO
  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $1,888
  • Serves Hilo, HI for additional fees

"My guests didn't stop raving about how awesome the band was." This is direct from a wedding client review. Our diverse repertoire allows us to help you create the perfect soundtrack for your wedding (Ask for our song list!) We are a contest winning, personable band looking to make your wedding unforgettable. We perform dozens of wedding per year. Great with all ages, special requests and have event planning experience. I'd love to provide price quotes tiered for up to a 6 piece band. That way you can find the perfect balance for your budget and music entertainment needs.

Working with Leo was a great experience. He went above and beyond in providing me the service I had anticipated. His band Wild Faith played for my wedding reception just last weekend and they sounded great. When I first started talking with Leo about his availability he was prompt in his communication and also offered to learn new song material beyond his already extensive set list. This was what really made Leo an exceptional value to us. His offer of learning special songs for us, attention to detail, timeliness in communication as well as showing up on time at our cold and rainy outdoor ceremony site were what he delivered. His band sounded great and he also nailed everyone of our requested songs. In my opinion Leo and his band were ultimately a great fit for us. His value in comparison to other bands I spoke with was unsurpassed. It's a shame that far to often when the term wedding comes up in the hiring process, bands and other vendors seem to charge more for no other reason than the simple fact that they chose to do so. Leo did not over charge for his services and his performance was simply amazing. My guests didn't stop raving about how awesome the band was. He made our wedding special with his professionalism, kindness and the unique sound of his band. He was engaging with the crowd and I wouldn't hesitate to hire Wild Faith again for any future needs. I highly recommend talking to Leo about any live music performances you need to book. He will over deliver and you will be the beneficiary of his work.

Bassist and bandleader Josh Levine got his start in the professional music business busking in SoHo with The Flying Neutrinos in ’93, so when NYC shut down in Spring of 2020, he capitalized on his experience as a street performer and began to play regularly in the parks of NYC with percussionist and sonero, Jainardo Batista, renowned flutist Itai Kriss making his debut on Cuban trés guitar, and María Raquel on vocals and minor percussion. Before long, the quartet had generated some buzz, several venues hired them to play outdoors and pianist Gabriel Chakarji and Grammy winning flutist and vocalist Jeremy Bosch became staples of the group.

Cuarteto Guataca is AMAZING. Every single member of this group is an absolute joy to work with, and their talent is beyond words! Cuarteto was our wedding band, and I don’t think anyone sat down the entire reception! Hire them now!!
