This is what dreams are made of. When I was a little girl, I had big dreams about what my future wedding would look like. As I got older and realized how much everything costs, I started to think my dream wedding would stay just that—a dream. But one thing never changed: I always wanted to get married in a little white chapel and walk down the aisle to the sound of a violin. Petya made that dream come true. From the moment I first reached out to her, we instantly connected. I knew, without a doubt, that no matter where we ended up getting married, she had to be a part of it. I’d listen to her music on YouTube and just melt. She’s cheerful yet calming, incredibly talented, and truly helped put me at ease throughout the process. The morning of my wedding was stressful, but Petya texted me with encouragement, lifting my spirits and getting me excited for the day ahead. Guests even told me how beautiful the atmosphere was as they waited for my arrival—all because of the ambiance she created through her music. As the church doors opened and I saw my soon-to-be husband standing at the altar, the sound of Petya’s violin made it feel like I was walking into a dream. I couldn’t see anyone else—it was as if her melody was wrapping around just the two of us. It might sound dramatic, but we had a very Christian ceremony, and we asked her to play worship music. It made the moment feel sacred, like God’s presence was truly among us. At the end of the ceremony, I ran up to her and couldn’t help but gush about how incredible she was. She gave us our fairytale moment.

The harpist and violinist were absolutely incredible — truly one of the most magical parts of our entire wedding day. My husband and I were completely in awe, and our guests couldn’t stop talking about how beautiful and cinematic the music was. It felt like something straight out of a movie, especially with the stunning ambiance of our ceremony location. From the very beginning, the process of choosing music through the company’s website was seamless. There were so many amazing song options to pick from, and we were so happy with our final selections. Hearing them come to life — especially on violin and harp — was beyond words. The musicians played so eloquently and gracefully, and their talent was unmatched. The music added a romantic, emotional, and elegant touch that elevated everything to a whole new level. Communication with the company was excellent. They were quick to respond, always friendly and accommodating, and remained professional and patient — even when unexpected weather challenges came up on the day of the wedding. They were flexible, understanding, and worked with us to make sure everything went smoothly. The quality of the performance was truly a 10 out of 10. Guests were completely blown away, and many told us how unforgettable and moving the ceremony music was. The transitions between songs were smooth and perfectly timed. I would 100% recommend this company to any couple looking to add something special to their ceremony. They are incredibly talented, professional, punctual, and just a dream to work with. We’re so grateful to have had them be part of our big day — they helped make it feel absolutely magical.

HiMotive Entertainment & Photobooth did a great job keeping our wedding reception fun and upbeat. While their communication was a bit delayed leading up to the event, they were ultimately effective in executing on the day-of. The DJ kept the party going all night with a good song selection, though they did play 3 Taylor Swift songs in a row at the start, which we would have preferred more variety. The MC's ad-libs got a little overbearing at times, but overall they did a nice job sticking to the schedule and making important announcements. We'd recommend HiMotive to other couples looking for an energetic DJ.

Hi, I’m John Challis. Aka 'Morf'. ​ Originally from London, my musical journey began in 2011 as 'Morf,' performing in the streets of Europe and falling in love with connecting through music. Since then, I’ve performed worldwide at luxury venues, corporate events, weddings of all sizes and types, and on shows like Good Morning America, ESPN, and Disney. ​ As the founder of Morf Music, I’ve built a reputation for creating personalised, heartfelt performances. ​ With over a decade of global experience, I bring a richness that resonates across all cultures and traditions, ensuring every moment feels personal and meaningful.

We couldn't have asked for a better musician for our wedding. From the moment we contacted John, he completely destroyed our anxiety about the music area of our wedding reception; hopping on a call that week and talking to us about our dream vision and what our favourite types of music are. He plays that guitar like nothing we've ever seen before, and 10 days later our guests are still talking about him! My friend Dan even booked him for his wedding lol He did an incredible cover of 'Perfect' by Ed Sheehan that he wrote specifically for us; with some unique instrumental tappy stuff I didn't even know one guitarist could do. It made our first dance so much more special than having a backing track like we originally planned. If you want awesome music, from a friendly man who's clearly been doing this a long time, he's your guy! We're so glad we got him involved.

I play violin at weddings. I have over 500 songs from all genres and the right equipment to provide a seamless and memorable experience. I enjoy playing for people and pride myself at doing a great job for couples and their guests.

Sandro was a great addition to our wedding, I’m so happy we selected him! His communication was great from start to finish. I requested songs that weren’t on his LONG list of songs he already knew and was able to accommodate me with no issues. His list of songs he already has was so cool, we wanted not the typical wedding songs, and more of a pop/rnb vibe. I asked he can do Dangerously in love by Beyoncé when I walked down, and he nailed it! He was the one vendor I had complete confidence in, and never had to worry. All my guest raved about him. If you need a violinist for your event look no further, you will be happy! Thank you Sandro for making our day amazing!

Keith Franklin Jazz Group

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $750
  • Serves Keyport, NJ

I’ve done over 1000 weddings , club dates and concerts we tailor the music to suit your event . Trio consists of piano , bass and drums . We can add on a trumpet and female vocalist as well . Male vocals are also available

Due to being able to save a decent amount of budget money on various other parts of our wedding day, my fiancé (at the time) decided that we should get some live music for our wedding if we could manage. After some careful research, I happened upon the Keith Franklin Jazz Group. After speaking to the band manager Larraine, and explaining our needs, she suggested that instead of the wedding band that they normally send to weddings, we hire the jazz band. Then she invited us to come see the band play at the Witherspoon Grill in Princeton NJ. My fiancé and I loved them and decided that their vibes were exactly what we needed for our wedding reception. Larraine was phenomenal to work with and she was gracious and patient with me despite the fact that I was losing my bridal mind and dropping balls everywhere in the chaos. She suggested that we get the regular 4 piece jazz band and that we add a horn and a second voice (a male vocalist to duet with the female vocalist) to it. She also had their sound engineer come and set up the speakers and microphones. She was absolutely correct in all her suggestions, and the band absolutely made our night. It wasn't overly loud and was in fact very relaxed and romantic, and the vibes were immaculate. People did dance to the music sometimes, but mostly everyone just sat back and enjoyed themselves in the amazing ambiance. They were perfectly suited to our venue choice, and there was absolutely nothing they could have done better. It's definitely not the norm to have a jazz band at your wedding, but trust me, it's a fantastic choice and was by far the best choice for us, and also well within budget. Thank you, Keith and company, for such a wonderful night! If I could remember everyone's names, I would call you out each by name because you were all so wonderful and absolutely made our wedding day the best it could possibly have been!

We saw the Jon Bates Band perform at our friends' wedding in Vermont a number of years ago. My now-husband and I knew (before we were even engaged!) that we wanted these guys to play our wedding, should we get to that point together. Fortunately, they travel all over and were happy to come to Delaware for our 10/5/2019 wedding. Communication was smooth throughout the entire process, and they were completely open to working with us on our song list and catering to what we really love most. Their rendition of our first dance song was spot-on to what we hoped it would be. They played a consistently strong set all night and had everyone - and I mean everyone! - up and dancing. I can honestly say that it could not have gone better, nor could we have enjoyed it more. I highly recommend this group of talented musicians.

James Labrosse is a talented musician who delivers enthusiastic and memorable performances from his headquarters in Brooklyn, NY... I have had the opportunity of providing live guitar music to weddings now for 10+ years now. It is a privilege to me to make beautiful music on such a special and sacred day. I'm an NYC local musician. I've studied extensive Spanish (Flamenco) guitar in Spain at a young age and also have a degree from Berklee College of Music. I am available to perform during your ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner reception, engagement party, rehearsal dinner. I can bring microphones for the vows and speeches.

I highly recommend James as a guitar player for your wedding. James had excellent communication from our first email. He shared what to expect on the day of our wedding and was very accommodating, answering our questions. He showed up on time and was very professional the entire time and was so friendly and happy. He played songs as our guests walked in, and then played a few processional songs that we selected from a nice list he provided. He took cues very well from my day of coordinator, and played the exact songs when we needed them to be played. During cocktail hour, he played songs from his repertoire that matched the mood very well. He played a gentle mix of classical, flamenco, jazz songs (maybe more genres!) As a solo musician, he doesn't take up a lot of real estate but he made a huge impact. We had multiple guests throughout the evening tell us how wonderful James was, how much they enjoyed his music. My husband appreciated that James is able to play his music on his own - he didn't use a background track to play on top of. James is also very gracious and kind. It's obvious that he takes pride in his work. I would not hesitate to hire him again for any future events.

Mariachi Hidalgo N.Y.C

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Serves Keyport, NJ

Mariachi Hidalgo was founded in 2017 and is led by our Musical Director Hernan Hidalgo Treviño who is a first-generation musician within his family. At the age of 21, Hernan is New York City’s, as well as the East Coast’s, 1st ever “Youngest Musical Director of a Mariachi Band”. Hernan graduated from the CUNY of Hunter College as a Music and History major to better prepare himself for both the musical and culture of mariachi. Within the first 2 years, Mariachi Hidalgo has performed in some of New York's exclusive places. Hernan's main goal is to inspire and motivate other youths to continue this musical tradition of mariachi.

My name is Kiyoko Nakamura, my husband is Mexican American, and I am Japanese. We celebrated our 15-year Anniversary here in New York City on December 18th, 2021. (We are from California) I wanted to surprise my husband with a Mariachi Band (he loves Mariachi) that offered quality in service and performance. I have a M.M from Kyoto University for Music & Art, and I fully understand what I was looking for in a Mariachi band. I investigated each Mariachi band here in NYC, their quality as musicians, social media, reviews etc. Many mariachi bands stated, "they are the best" or "Number 1 in NEW YORK CITY", but I can assure you all from looking at their YouTube performances & social medias that they are NOT. A few did play back, had a CD recording of an actual PROFESSIONAL band in the background while these so called "Best in NYC" made it seem as if it was them performing, FALSE advertisement. Once I saw Mariachi Hidalgo NYC, directed person with a B.A in Music & History. (Having a degree in any accredited field is one way to ensure the person knows what they are offering.) I investigated everything about this ensemble before contacting. YouTube , Instagram, all their social medias in order to understand whom I was calling. After checking out everything, proper technique on their instruments and vocals, no play back, presentable, quality musicians. I knew this band was going to be AMAZING! From the moment I called to book them until the performance's date this is what I received. A very professional service to not just me but my husband and guests as well. Very detailed in terms of explaining the full booking process, punctual, proper technique on their instruments & voice, an amazing show that interacts with the crowd. This band had it all! Everyone loved it! Visual Aspect:/ Performance Technical playing, clean suits, well groomed, presentable. 100/100 If you are looking for a mediocre or an economical option or a group to just make noise regardless of how they sound. Then I would not recommend this band for your event. If, however, you are looking for a PROFESSIONAL band to make your special moments even more memorial. Then YES, I recommend this band too you, Mariachi Hidalgo NYC! You will not be disappointed. Overall: Quality, Punctual, Presentable, Professional, Show/Performance, Amazing service from start to finish. If we ever visit New York City again, we will definitely contract Mariachi Hidalgo again for all of our events. Best Regards, Kiyoko Nakamura Master's in Music, Kyoto University for Music & Art
