“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.”

“If you are looking to have a wedding where your guests do not leave the dance floor the entire night - look no further because JB Pro Live is who you need!! Our DJ, Jan, absolutely exceeded all expectations we had as a DJ for our wedding day. When we met with him before the wedding, we gave him a few of our favorite songs but told him to use his discretion as what was most important to us was having everyone dancing and enjoying themselves. WELL, did he know what he was doing!!! Our dance floor was filled the ENTIRE NIGHT. We had 220 guests at our wedding, and 0 of them were sitting. We have guests who didn't even know we had a photo booth or voicemail booth because they truly did not leave the dance floor one time to look around. Jan reads the room perfectly and truly has a niche for knowing what people like to hear. Our MC Matt was also so great! He helped keep the night on track and made sure we were enjoying ourselves the entire time. He was fun, entertaining, and kept the vibes going! We have had 10 guests ask for our DJs information so they can book him for their own wedding because he really was just that good. After just the first dance set alone, our guests were excited and ready to party because he set the tone perfectly! We also booked a saxophonist through JPBRO as well as a dry ice machine, indoor firework fountains, and the snow effect and they were all perfect! The snow was by far the best addition! It was practically real snow (way better than what we were expecting) and all of our guests went crazy over it! The saxophonist was also a great touch and played practically every song throughout the night which our guests loved! And of course the dry ice machine and indoor firework fountains looked so great in our wedding pictures! Request Jan as your DJ- he is worth every penny and you will not regret it!!! He is absolutely a pro at what he does and you can guarantee that with him, not only will you have the best night of your life, but your guests will as well!”

“When we wanted to take our daughter's wedding to the next level, we found Leonard at ViolinShow and he delivered beyond what we imagined. He learned a song that had never been in his repertoire before—one that honored my mom who passed away—and played it during the cocktail hour, which was so special to all of us. Yes, the tears flowed, but it was such a meaningful tribute. Leonard performed as guests arrived and throughout the cocktail hour, and what struck us most was that he didn't just play violin, he commanded the room with genuine artistry and sophistication. His skill brought a refinement to the night that our guests haven't stopped talking about since the wedding. This surprise addition felt so personal and meaningful, and we're grateful Leonard went so far above and beyond to make our daughter's day truly special.”

  • Serves Long Branch, NJ

Arnie performs live piano music for weddings, corporate events, receptions, dinners, holiday parties and most any special occasion calling for live music. He has a wonderfully varied repertoire of music for all occasions that makes him easily adaptable to most any event. Arnie also has a talent for friendly mingling with your guests to involve them, and designing his music selections to capture the theme and mood of your special event.

“Arnie Abrams was an incredible addition to our wedding day! He played for our ceremony and cocktail hour. Arnie was excellent with communication along the way, gave us clear timeframes as to when he needed our selections so he could be prepared, and showed up early to the wedding to prep his keyboards. This speaks to his professionalism. Arnie played many beloved songs from his repertoire and played my favorite song for my processional, From the Ground Up by Dan and Shay. Throughout the evening and in the weeks to follow, I received many compliments about what an excellent addition Arnie was to our wedding day, with many guests asking for requests and his contact info for future events. I cannot recommend him enough!”

The Ever After Band 
Rating: 5.0 (1 review)
  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $11,500
  • Serves Long Branch, NJ

The Ever After Band delivers high-impact live music for luxury weddings across New Jersey, New York City, and Philadelphia. From ceremony through the final encore, we design the flow of the night so every transition feels seamless and every moment lands. Powerful live vocals. A dynamic 8–10 piece ensemble. A packed dance floor once it opens. The result isn’t just great music. It’s a celebration that feels cohesive, elevated, and alive from start to finish. We don’t just play weddings. We shape the experience.

“Working with The Ever After Band was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From our first conversation, Rich got back to us quickly and kept everything moving forward in a professional way. He took the time build a set list that felt totally personal to us, which meant so much. What really impressed us was how they read the room during the reception—they knew exactly when to keep the energy high and when to bring it down, and our guests couldn't stop talking about how great the band was. They delivered something truly outstanding and are worth every dollar. We'd recommend The Ever After Band to anyone looking for a band that actually cares about making your day special. They nailed it!”
