DJ Pat Ryan is the best there is!! Everything was PERFECT, and he absolutely exceeded our expectations. People loved the food, florals, venue, etc. - but we received by far the most compliments about DJ Pat. I (bride) never left the dance floor once... The mixing and transitions to pack as many songs in as possible was fantastic. We like a pretty broad range of genres, and he absolutely nailed it. There was also an amazing balance of music for different generations present - way better executed than we could have dreamed of. We also appreciated the pep talk for our wedding party beforehand, it really set the tone for the whole night! It was really nice getting to know DJ Pat leading up to the wedding as well. He was always available to chat via video call or text if needed. And his shared spreadsheet helped us immensely during the chaos that is wedding planning (especially planning from abroad). Thank you so much for truly making it the most unforgettable night of our lives!

Hiring DJ Jon Don Myers was the best wedding decision we could have made!! He was amazing. I have been to 30 weddings and usually during the ceremony, the mic equipment gives out or there's so much static but not with DJ Jon Don Myers! Everything was flawless for the whole day and his equipment is top notch! He knew how much music means to us and he really curated the perfect playlist and there was always someone on the dancefloor at all times! I would 100% recommend hiring him for any occasion!

When it came to the reception, Pat and Sean played music off the cuff with absolutely no direction/supervision and no playlist to work off of at all - and they KILLED IT. We danced through that last song of the night and it couldn't have went better. Thanks Pat and Sean! These guys are true professionals through and through and when it comes down to it they are a blast to party with too!

HIRE Gerald and the Plus Ones!!!!! I first heard Gerald play at a friends rehearsal dinner (sadly after I already hired my wedding band), and knew immediately I needed to hire him for my rehearsal/ wedding welcome drinks. Gerald immediately got the vibe of the night and was truly just smashing hit after hit and created the best ambiance and energy. The vibes were seriously immaculate thanks to him. I wish I could go back in time and hire him for my wedding night- I kid you not- and I will regret that I didn’t forever. Not only is he an awesome musician, but Gerald is truly the nicest man you’ll ever meet. Because I’m a last minute person, I think I asked Gerald maybe a week or so before the event to learn a special song for me, and without any issues or hesitation, he did and he killed it. He was even happy and eager to do so. He also took song requests while he was playing and gosh, he really just made the night so wonderful and so special. If I could give him 100000 stars I would. This guy will make any night a great one. Don’t think, just hire him.

Naked Soul was an INCREDIBLE band. Anthony (the band leader and MC) did an amazing job of keeping our wedding flowing and fun. As a gay couple we dealt with a lot of vendors who asked about the "bride" and wanted to cater to more traditional weddings, where as Naked Soul was extremely accepting and welcoming to our non-traditional wedding. All of our guests raved about how wonderful the band was. The music selections were perfect. If we have another event in the future, we will absolutely hire them again!

In today's world everything is extremely overpriced and service is terrible. My wedding was very stressful for me because of this. I did not have a DJ or a Photographer and honestly was considering just something small scale, until I talked to Ed from DJ Double E. I would give them 10 stars out 5. From the minute I talked to Ed it was a breath of fresh air from the million other outrageously priced DJ's. The price is unbeatable but that's not why I would recommend them. They are absolutely phenomenal and made my entire wedding. The music was perfect from ceremony to the last dance. They were so professional, so involved and so fun. We had a daytime (early) wedding. It is so challenging to get people up and have a good time at 12:30 in the afternoon, I was having meltdowns about it, they reassured me but had the entire place up and having fun. You didn't know if it was day or night. They helped us more than the attendants at the venue. Over 100 guests said how amazing they were. The pictures they took could not be any better. Any other DJ who had packages like this (photo booth etc...) were THOUSANDS, yes THOUSANDS, more!!! I really hate to admit but I'm not easily pleased however I would put my name on the line for DJ Double E after how they made my wedding. DJ Double E exceeded all my and my husband's expectations and -consider yourself lucky if you hire them for any event. I'll be calling them again!!!

From our first meeting I know Matty would be the perfect fit. He is super kind and incredibly professional. He led us through the wedding process with ease and smiles. He listened to our requests and added his own magic which I knew he would do. The dance floor was packed!! Matty was perfect in his execution- never stealing the spotlight from the bride and groom and he didn’t sing and shout over the music which we appreciated! (That has a time and place but not for this wedding). He pulled together instrumentals for the ceremony and managed the artists and added musicians at the reception and it really brought out the celebratory vibe of the night. We were all smiles and many and he was too! Amazing job! Hire him asap or you will miss out:)

JJ worked with us to curate the perfect performance for us and our guests. He was able to balance dance songs and classics alongside some custom requests that went off the beaten path of most traditional weddings from the likes of The Band, Talking Heads and The Clash. He even helped us surprise our guests with a singing introduction of the bride and groom. He took time to get to know us and was always happy to answer any questions we had.

Franklin & Alison Music

Franklin & Alison Music In business for over 20 years. Not an agency, just one band to provide you with personal attention to detail and tailor the music to your needs and likes. I love to help couples pick out the songs for each wedding, everyone is different and we like to be creative.

I will just start by saying that hiring the Franklin & Alison Music Band was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding on 5/18/24 at the Atrium of Tenafly! We received so many compliments from all the guests for the quality of the live band we had; and to our joy, the dance floor was always brimming with people. We happened upon the band’s website via The Knot’s suggested music provider list and absolutely loved their sample videos, songs, pictures, and testimonials. From the get go, Laraine was a pleasure to work with - always clear, on point with her answers, considerate, personable, and compassionate. We spoke at length via several phone calls and email exchanges about our history as a couple and our music preferences and then we met in person to go over all the details and narrow down the list of our favorite songs, She paid close attention to the pronunciation of names, nailed the parent dance song suggestions and the timing of the different reception activities. Then Laraine, Keith and the band did an amazing job at compiling an extremely successful playlist customized to our wedding. Katrice’s voice is stunning and so versatile, Sam was the perfect host, Keith was just so fun to chat with, and everyone in the band was just phenomenal! We all had a blast and I couldn’t recommend Franklin & Alison Music highly enough! Hands down the best decision ever!

Words can’t express how much we loved working with Ana & Jimmy and the entire Amp DJ Band Hybrid. My husband really wanted a band while I really wanted a DJ, Amp DJ band was the perfect mix. We found Ana & Jimmy immediately and were able to schedule a meeting with them the next day. We knew right away that they were right for us. They were extremely attentive and outgoing from the start. They answered all out of questions and addressed concerns we had. We booked them immediately because we didn’t want to miss out on the opportunity to work with them. We met with them several times through our 6 month planning process. They responded immediately to any questions that popped up along the way and even allowed us to make a last minute change the night before. They well exceeded our musical playlist, taking the songs we requested and tailoring the rest of the music to fit the vibe. There was a perfect mix of live songs and an awesome dj set. The amount of compliments my husband & I received about the band far exceeded anything we expected. All of our guests LOVED them (of course as did we). So many people reached out that night or the next day to say how impressed they were with Ana, Jimmy & the whole band. We also had an acoustic guitar player at our cocktail hour which was amazing. If you’re debating getting a band for your wedding because your heart is set on a DJ, seriously look no further than Amp DJ Band hybrid. You will not be disappointed. I want to have another event just to work with them again!

Hip Control did an amazing job for us from start to finish. From our initial communications with Solange to the booking process, set list and logistics planning, and their actual performance the night of our wedding. They had everyone out on the dance floor all night and two weeks later our guests are still raving about how great they were. Hip Control set the tone for our cocktail hour and reception and absolutely nailed the vibe we were looking to achieve. Solange is wonderful - super detail oriented and really listened to us to make sure we were aligned. We loved working with her and the rest of her crew. If you are still searching for a band for your wedding in the NY area, look no further than Hip Control! You will be so happy that you did.

Jake was a fantastic DJ, he struck a great balance between keeping the party vibe strong without letting our guests turn the setlist into song request chaos. He helped us incorporate all of our unique wedding reception events into a seamless night. He also gave plenty of communication leading up to the event; we never worried that he would show up to our wedding without a plan or on a different page. He went above and beyond expectations bringing up planning considerations for our wedding we hadn't thought of ourselves. He even encouraged us to use him as a source of information for any and all wedding-related questions outside of DJ duties. Jake truly helped make our wedding a fun and memorable day. Highly recommend DJHoodedWolf for anyone looking for a professional, top-notch DJ experience!
