Gerald was the guitarist and vocalist at our garden wedding ceremony in the Brooklyn. His beautiful performance truly set the tone for the event. His playing and singing were spot on. He came with an extensive song list while also learning our chosen songs for the occasion. We couldn’t be happier with our decision to have Gerald as our wedding musician. I highly recommend his services to anyone looking for a talented and dedicated performer.

Living Jade was the best decision we made for our wedding vendors. They played at our engagement party in Santa Barbara and our actual wedding in San Francisco. Steve encountered an issue with a band member. The singer got sick the day before the wedding, but he found a replacement that was outstanding. His network of musicians allowed him to resolve a major issue. My husband and I were happy that our contract was respected. On top of that, the energy of the band was amazing on stage. We were so happy that our guests were all on the dance floor. I never sweat so much on a dance floor.

We saw Naked Soul at a family member's wedding a few years ago and we knew we wanted them for our wedding. They were absolutely AMAZING. All of our guests raved about how amazing the band was after our wedding, and that's all thanks to Tony and Naked Soul. Everyone was on the dance floor the whole time and we could not have been happier with the music they played. Tony was so communicative, easy to work with, and extremely accommodating. We would definitely recommend booking Perrone Bros!

Here at DJ Double E we strive at five star reviews and cherish and handle your wedding as it was our own we have lots to offer from three stages of dance floor lighting up lighting packages dancing on the clouds cold spark introductions monogram gobos excellent MC service setups for every occasion projection projects economical photo booth bundles bubbles fog machines laser lights moving heads and we even offer photography for every event possible please check us out and check all our reviews Google us!

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:)

He was highly responsive, flexible, and had great insight and tips for us to make our day a blast. On the day of the wedding he checked in to make sure everything was proceeding in the way we wanted it to and made sure we were happy with the night events. We had so many of our guests tell us our wedding was the best wedding they had ever been to and we know Matt with his music kept everyone (young and old) on the dance floor the entire night! We can't say enough about his team and professionalism. Matt listened and made sure that we received the service we wanted... other DJs we had met with tried to dictate what they wanted or felt should occur... Matt listened and made what we wanted happen. If you want people to be talking about your wedding in the years to come hire Matt, he will make it happen.

Our DJ company starts with vibing with our clients. We feel that is really really important. By taking the time to listen to your vision with a quick chat we can tell a-lot about each other and see if we are a match. Picky sometimes to a fault we realize every couple is not our couple and do not just book couples just to fill the calendar. Thats not fair to either of us. At the end of any event we usually are good friends and miss talking to each other. You wouldn't have it any other way.

DJ Heywood and DeShaun were amazing HANDS DOWN!!!! I requested a 90's playlist and they delivered 100%. My guests and myself were dancing all night long! And the guests could not stop raving about how great the DJ was. I even chose the photo booth package and happy I did so as my guests enjoyed uploading their pics immediately to their social media platforms. There is nothing to think about and just book with DJ Heywood! You won't regret it! I plan on using them for my daughter's Sweet 16 in two years! You can't go wrong!

There aren't enough words in this world to describe how thoroughly satisfied we were with The DJ Experience. From the very beginning, they were super responsive when it came to my wants, needs and crazy ideas. Alex was super calming throughout the whole process, ensuring me that everyone would have a good time and to trust him. He did not disappoint. Everyone loved when we danced on the clouds, when I wanted a song mashup made for a special dance with my mom, he made it happen. My guests did not leave the dance floor the whole night. My MC, Darrell was out of this world. Never have I ever met an MC quite like him. He possibly had more energy than me and I have ALOT of energy. I 10/10 recommend using the DJ experience for your party needs. I promise you that you wont be disappointed.

Our world class band performances create unforgettable moments of joy and memories and a dance floor filled with celebration.

Awarded Best of Zola
Let’s start with “WOW!” We had a music festival themed wedding with four bands so music was a critical piece of our wedding weekend and the standards were high. We interviewed over 20 bands from the NYC area and decided to go with Vitamin M after really vibing with their band leader, JJ. And boy are we glad we did! 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. This was not a cookie cutter wedding band performance. This is a group of truly talented professional musicians putting on a real show. Our guests and even our vendors are still telling us today, months later, that this was the best wedding band that they’ve ever seen. We are extremely happy with our decision to hire Vitamin M for our wedding. No diggity, no doubt.

The Brooklyn Beats 

5.0

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Serves Jersey City, NJ

The Brooklyn Beats is the inaugural event/wedding band founded by music industry veteran, Jon Shiffman. Jon is best known for his live work as a drummer for Grammy winner Jack Antonoff in the bands Steel Train and Bleachers. He has toured all over the world and his drumming can be heard on various National TV Commercials, and is featured in the 2024 release of Paramount Pictures’ Mean Girls movie. Since even before leaving the touring life in 2015, Jon has been a fixture in the New York private event/wedding band scene and has been a drummer, band leader, talent booker and event producer for the biggest agencies and bands in the area.

Do not sleep on booking The Brooklyn Beats! I’m positive this will be the most popular wedding band in NYC very soon! I was a big fan of Jon’s old band, Steel Train, and also saw him play drums when he was with Bleachers in 2015. Since then I’ve followed him on social media and when I heard he started his own wedding/event band, I couldn’t believe it lined up with me looking for a band for our big day! We debated a DJ versus a live band—but wow a live band is the way to go. They play every style of music which has everyone from your older relatives to your youngest friends singing and dancing for the ENTIRE night. The talent is unreal and the energy of a live band brings a night to a new level. Wish I could give more than 5 stars.

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!

Hiring AMP was the all time BEST decision we could have made for our wedding! We had immediate comfort and trust in them from the first time we spoke, and the show they put on for our day was better than we ever could have imagined. They were incredibly responsive and helpful throughout the whole process of planning and had no problem with even the most far-fetched ideas (including my wife surprising me by getting up and playing the drums with the band). If we asked each and every person what their favorite part of our wedding was, hands down it was the music. Ana, Jimmy, and the rest of the band had everyone dancing the entire night without question. It was hit after hit after hit with the whole crowd! So many people rushed to us to ask how we got so lucky finding them. Ana and Jimmy truly respected and acknowledged everyone’s pronouns and made everyone in our family and party seen and comfortable through the entire process. AMP put their entire heart and soul into every performance. Their passion is so evident with each song they play, and their energy is just contagious. You cannot help but smile and dance throughout their whole set. And the TALENT! The talent is through the roof! All of our guests were completely shocked at the level of professionalism and talent AMP brought to our event. I cannot stress enough how utterly amazing AMP is. Do yourself a huge favor and book them, you will not regret it for a second.

FM3 Entertainment is a boutique entertainment company focused on music that our clients want to hear at their wedding. Each and every event is treated as unique as our couples choose it to be. We work with each couple determine their "musical personas" in order to put together a Soundtrack for their special day.

I cannot recommend FM3 Entertainment enough. Steve and Frank are phenomenal. Our wedding was in Stone Harbor, NJ but our families and friends are from New York to the suburbs of Philadelphia and we needed a company that would keep the party going for everyone from 20-90 years ago, and they did just that! They are an experienced duo that had great recommendations and asked us questions that you may not think of during the planning stages. They listened to all of our song requests as well as, more importantly, our do-not play list. When hiring a DJ you don't always think of how the company you choose will also be the MC or "host" of the night. Steve added special touches throughout his announcements while sticking to the flow of the night AND keeping the party going! The dance floor was packed all night and I continue to receive rave reviews from friends and family on how great the music was at our wedding. I recommend FM3 Entertainment for all your event needs!

Brian was our DJ for our wedding on 9/21. He did such an amazing job. All my friends are still talking about how good the music was. Brian listened to our requests and made our night so much fun. He also provided the photo booth with props that was a great hit. Thank you!

We picked some unique songs for our processional that typically have heavy orchestration involved but Bryan was able to arrange them to sound beautiful on just guitar. The bossa nova they played for our cocktail hour was also incredible, everyone loved it! Such great style and energy all around, we couldn’t have asked for better live music on our special day.

Yasss Sweet Tea!! I got married in Lake George earlier this month and had the pleasure of being serenaded by Lori and Scott of Sweet Tea for two days! Not only did they make our laid back/campy chill rehearsal BBQ amazing but they transformed themselves into this elegant wedding duo the next day at our wedding . They totally fit the vibe for both the rehearsal BBQ and the wedding! They can sing anything and I mean anything! From huge power ballads, fun dance songs to chill feel good tunes. I am so happy to write this review because the world must know about them!! Aside from their talent, they are just fun humans! If you’re looking for professional talent, fun and laid back people who are soooo easy to work with (and believe me this is a giant BONUS)- hire these two! Thank you Lori and Scott , we had the best time!

Music makes the wedding! In fact, it's the centerpiece of your wedding - and a great, joyous, dynamic wedding band will make your event truly special and memorable. The Love Revival Orchestra is not your typical Wedding Band. We are able offer boutique-style service because we are a REAL band - with world-class musicians who've played hundreds of gigs together and are great friends!

Awarded Best of Zola
The Love Revival Orchestra was truly an enormous highlight of our wedding day! The band played for our cocktail hour with a talented Jazz Trio, a parade to get our guests into the reception (so cool and lots of kudos from the guests!!), and an outstanding reception performance. There was not one moment that the dance floor was empty and they truly brought the best energy and talent. Music was one of our biggest priorities for the wedding day and our expectations were blown away. David was very collaborative, helping us to plan the perfect set list and answering all of our questions leading up to the day. We were also so appreciative that the band was able to not only learn but perform incredible renditions of our first dance song, and themes from Vanderpump and Star Wars (truly amazing live!). The Love Revival Orchestra is a truly incredibly talented band that played everything from The Beatles to The Cranberries to Taylor Swift and so much more. We are so grateful for everything and have the highest recommendation for Love Revival Orchestra.
