From the moment we booked Dan, I felt this incredible sense of calm. I’d been told by others, “Your DJ will just do whatever they want”, but I quickly learned that Dan is different. He listens, really listens, not just to what you say, but to the things you don’t even realize you’re communicating. He takes those details, both spoken and unspoken, and uses them to craft a wedding experience that feels so personal, you’d think he’s known you for years. Dan’s kindness is the kind you feel, not just in the way he treats you, but in the way he treats your day. He takes his job seriously because he understands it’s not just about music; it’s about moments. And he works tirelessly to protect those moments. There are countless things he does behind the scenes that you’ll never even know about, all to make sure your day runs smoothly and exactly how you dreamed. Our wedding was especially tricky as we were blending Italian and Egyptian traditions, and I wasn’t sure how to make it all flow naturally. I told Dan how important it was to represent both cultures equally while also capturing us as a couple. He didn’t just nod and say, “Got it.” He researched. He planned. He asked thoughtful questions. He made sure every transition made sense, every song had a purpose, and every moment felt intentional. With Dan, you’re not just getting a DJ. You’re getting a guide, a sounding board, and someone who genuinely has your best interest at heart. You can ask him about things that have nothing to do with music— timeline issues, vendor suggestions, tricky wedding-day logistics—and he’ll give you honest, experienced advice because he truly cares about the big picture, not just his part in it. On the day itself, Dan wasn’t just playing music. He was quietly orchestrating the energy of the room. He made sure our guests were always engaged, that the dance floor was never empty, and that the flow of the night matched our personalities. Guests couldn’t stop talking about how perfectly the music blended our two cultures and one friend was literally Shazamming song after song because every single track was that good. Also, if you’re debating about a photo booth, DO IT and book it through Dan. The quality was insane. Everyone loves a photo booth, but these were hands-down the best photo booth shots we’ve ever seen at a wedding. Other agree.Crisp, vibrant, and so much fun—our guests are still raving about them. Dan sends you all the photos taken throughout the night and my husband and I keep going through them. It’s so fun to see our guests having a great time. Dan wasn’t just our DJ. He was our advocate, our cheerleader, and our behind-the-scenes hero. If I could give him 100,000 stars, I would. If you’re lucky enough to have Dan Fudim available for your date, book him immediately. It will be the best wedding decision you make.

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Zach back in April to DJ for our 10th year anniversary party. We bought out a restaurant so we had the celebration split between a cocktail hour, dinner and then dancing after dinner Zach asked us for a list of songs/playlist for our songs, and we gave him 2 sets: One for cocktail hour/dinner and one for the dancing section. The vibes were amazing during the cocktail hour and dinner. My parents personally loved some of their very own favorites playing as we were all chatting and having dinner. Once the dinner service ended, music transitioned into Disco/Salsa/Merengue and it was great to see our friends jumping from their chairs and into the dance floor. We’ve heard nothing but great compliments from friends and family on the music and vibes through the night and the great pickup during the happy hour! We’ll be forever thankful for your help in making the night a memorable one for us and our loved ones.

Milin was amazing. The dance floor was SO alive two nights in a row (Indian music night and American music night) - he worked off the song lists we requested and was great at reading the crowd and mixing tracks. The second night we also decided last-minute that we did want to mix in some Indian songs without having them prepared and he did that deftly on the fly. He was also super communicative and organized leading up to the event - he was incredibly easy to work with; our wedding planner and venue loved him as well!

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! The DJ Boutique showed attention to detail and joined meetings with our wedding planner and reception coordinator. If you’re looking for a DJ who’ll go above and beyond, this is it.

Have about 200 people showing up to your reception and want to guarantee that everyone from your aunts and uncles to your most particular friend all send you texts about how perfect your wedding band was? Great, you're done with your search. We worked with The Hook Club on an ambitious two-day wedding, which included them doing live sound for our Friday welcome party, live sound for the music at our ceremony, some deep cut requests, and our desire to not just have "another wedding band." What we got was an incredibly talented, creative, and kind group of people who were ready to make whatever we wanted happen, ready to add ideas and layers, and who then completely blew away our expectations. We're in that era of our lives where we've been to about 100 weddings in the last 10 years, and we can honestly say that no band has even come close to The Hook Club. A year later everyone is still talking about how great our band was. They are true professionals in every sense of the word, and you should seriously consider booking your venue around whether or not THC is available. That's not hyperbole - they were that good.

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!

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

Awarded Best of Zola
I am absolutely blown away by The Metropolitan Players. From the very beginning, my husband and I felt cared for, appreciated, and genuinely excited about the process. The coordinator that we were assigned, Mandy, was also our sound engineer and all-around go-to person on the day of the wedding. Mandy is friendly, professional, and patient. We had so many questions for her to make sure everything would go smoothly, and all of our requests were met with care. As a musician myself, the seamless logistics of the day (especially when it comes to sound), were very important to me. Every step of the way, Mandy answered e-mails, questions, hopped on Zoom calls with us. We were truly in the best hands and we felt like everything would be taken care of on the day-of. When there are a million things going on on the day of your wedding, you just have to put your faith and trust in the vendors. And I felt more than comfortable doing this with The Metropolitan Players. Now, on to the band. Oh... my... GOODNESS, they totally blew our socks off! Our setup included everything - the four vocalists, the horns, drums, bass, keyboards, etc. The band knocked it out of the park. They satisfied all of our requests and exceeded our expectations, both musically and energetically. Singers and instrumentalists were coming out into the audience. Arrangements were tight. Singing was powerful and on-point. They made our guests, and us, feel like rockstars. Our guests made sure to let us know afterwards that the band was one of the best features of the night. We went for a more vintage vibe with a lot of funk, soul, and R&B. The Metropolitan Players DELIVERED. If you are looking to have live music at your wedding, it certainly enhances the experience and makes it more than memorable. And The Metropolitan Players is your go-to band for your wedding, given their professionalism, high level of musicianship, efficiency, and just overall kindness and friendliness. Who doesn't want to work with people who are upbeat and pleasant? I would highly recommend this band to any and all of my friends getting married. So full of gratitude for The Metropolitan Players for playing such an important role in our special day. I could not be happier with the experience and I honestly wish I could relive it all over again. Thank you, Metropolitan Players! You all ROCK!

Ryan was really easy to work with! There were a few minor hiccups during the ceremony and reception (that were not caused by him), but he was able to be quick on his feet and keep the wedding flowing. The photo booth package he has available is a MUST! Guests were raving about the printouts and the quality of the photos! Attached is an example of what the printouts look like. These also can be sent to your phone and will be emailed to you the next day. We were beyond happy to with the energy, music selections, effort, and work Ryan put out for our wedding! Thank you again!!!

Direct entertainment LLC was just what I needed for my wedding a one stop shop! I was able to get my photographer Dave, Videographer Alex and DJ Chip all at one stop! All 3 were very friendly and accommodating! They discussed with me and helped me with the whole process! Very great to work with, just WONDERFUL!!

Book this band immediately for your wedding or any event!!! If you like funk, disco, r&b, brass instruments and talents musicians, book them now! They made our wedding what it was and it was the best decision we made. Charles was so easy to work with and the entire band was so kind and sooooo talented. We ask them to learn a few songs including, ‘music for a sushi restaurant’ by Harry styles and they killed it. They played gimme gimme by ABBA as our closing song and the dance floor shook. Every time I hear those songs, I think of our wedding night and how magical it was it. They we one of the key reasons why it was the best night of our lives. Years later, we still have guests tell us that our band was the best they ever experienced at any wedding. I would have another wedding if I could just to book them again. If you are on the fence, take this review and just hire them for your event!
